Reference-Pair Price Change
What it does
This entry filter checks the percentage movement of a separate reference pair before SteadyEdge evaluates the trade candidates. A common use is to allow altcoin entries only while BTCUSDT is not falling beyond a chosen limit.
Calculation
change % = 100 * (latest closed price - price N closed candles ago) / price N closed candles ago
The calculation uses the selected Reference pair , filter Timeframe , and Period . It is evaluated once per entry scan, so every candidate in that scan receives the same market-wide condition.
Settings
- Reference pair : an exchange pair such as BTCUSDT ; default BTCUSDT .
- Period : number of closed candles; default 1 , allowed range 1–500.
- Above : passes when the change is strictly greater than the threshold.
- Below : passes when the change is strictly less than the threshold.
Important behavior
Use this rule only among entry conditions. If the reference pair is missing, its candles cannot be loaded, or the calculation has insufficient history, the rule does not pass. Always backtest with the same exchange, product, and period you plan to run.
