Detailed Settings Reference​

Core Visual Elements​

Show Envelope

Default: true
Purpose

Visualizes envelope bands on the chart that interact with the Lorentzian Classification indicator's kernel regression, serving as a confluence tool for understanding price action and potential mean reversion points.

Impact

The envelope bands provide visual context for market volatility and potential support/resistance levels, helping identify overbought and oversold conditions.

Recommendations
  • Keep enabled for comprehensive market analysis
  • Use band interactions to confirm reversals
  • Monitor color changes for trend strength

Show Mean Reversion

Default: true
Purpose

Displays advanced mean reversion detection signals that adapt to market conditions and evolve with accumulated data, particularly useful for identifying potential market reversals.

Impact

Provides actionable insights during intra-bar analysis and helps catch quick scalping opportunities through adaptive classification signals.

Recommendations
  • Use for contrarian trading strategies
  • Monitor signal evolution over time
  • Combine with envelope bands for confirmation
Best Practice

Keep both envelope and mean reversion displays enabled for maximum insight. The envelope provides context while mean reversion signals highlight potential reversals.

Signal Representation​

Show Bar Colors

Default: true
Purpose

Colors each chart bar according to the model's prediction (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral), providing immediate visual feedback on market sentiment.

Impact

Enhances trend recognition and helps maintain focus on larger market dynamics rather than short-term price fluctuations.

Recommendations
  • Use in conjunction with bar predictions
  • Monitor color transitions for trend changes
  • Consider disabling if chart becomes too busy

Show Bar Predictions

Default: true
Purpose

Displays the model's raw prediction score as a numeric label on each bar, providing detailed insight into the strength and direction of predictions.

Impact

Enables precise assessment of model confidence and helps in timing trading decisions based on prediction strength.

Recommendations
  • Use alongside bar colors for complete analysis
  • Monitor prediction trends over time
  • Consider your chart's visual clarity
Technical Detail

Bar colors and predictions work together to provide both immediate visual feedback and detailed numerical insights into the model's confidence levels.

Signal Positioning​

Align Signal with Current Bar

Default: false
Purpose

Controls the timing offset for plotted signals, determining whether they appear on the last closed bar or the current forming bar.

Impact

Affects the historical accuracy and real-time responsiveness of signal placement, impacting backtesting results and live trading execution.

Recommendations
  • Keep disabled for accurate historical analysis
  • Enable only for real-time strategy testing
  • Consider backtesting implications

Use ATR Offset

Default: true
Purpose

Dynamically adjusts the position of prediction values and labels based on the Average True Range (ATR), ensuring clear visibility regardless of market volatility.

Impact

Maintains chart readability by preventing label overlap during high volatility and keeping labels appropriately positioned in calmer markets.

Recommendations
  • Keep enabled for automatic label positioning
  • Use with bar prediction offset for fine-tuning
  • Monitor label placement in different conditions

Default Configuration Rationale​

The default display settings are optimized to provide:

  • Maximum signal clarity
  • Intuitive visual hierarchy
  • Reduced chart clutter
  • Accessible color schemes
  • Balanced alert feedback
Why These Defaults?

Default values prioritize ease of understanding while maintaining the flexibility needed for custom trading setups. They provide a clean, professional look that works well across different chart types and timeframes.

Visual Element Relationships​

Understanding how different visual elements interact is key to optimizing your display configuration:

  • Envelope + Mean Reversion: Provides context for potential reversals
  • Bar Colors + Predictions: Offers both quick-glance and detailed insights
  • ATR Offset + Signal Placement: Ensures clear signal visibility in varying market conditions
  • Label Size + Line Thickness: Creates visual hierarchy for different information types

Summary​

These display settings form the interface between the model's analysis and your trading decisions. While the defaults provide a professional and clear starting point, understanding each setting's purpose allows you to create a personalized visual environment that enhances your trading workflow.

Try experimenting with the interactive demo above to see how different settings affect the visualization. Each setting has detailed documentation that appears when you click on it in the interface.

Example Configurations​

Clean & Minimalist Display:​

  • Show Envelope: False - Reasoning: Reduces visual clutter, focusing on essential signals.
  • Show Mean Reversion: False - Reasoning: Further declutters chart, removing less critical reversal signals.
  • Show Bar Colors: False - Reasoning: Removes bar color gradients for a cleaner price action view.
  • Show Bar Predictions: False - Reasoning: Hides numerical prediction values, minimizing on-chart text.
  • Use ATR Offset: False - Reasoning: Positions signals directly on bars for minimal visual distraction.
  • Align Signal with Current Bar: False - Reasoning: Plots signals on bar close for historical signal stability. This configuration is designed for Visual Confluence Traders and Performance Tweakers who prioritize a clean, minimalist chart and maximum performance. By disabling most visual elements, it reduces chart clutter and minimizes indicator load, focusing solely on the essential buy and sell signals. This setup is ideal for traders who rely on other indicators for confluence and want to keep the Lorentzian Classification indicator as a secondary confirmation tool without overwhelming the chart.

Enhanced Signal Visibility Display:​

  • Show Envelope: True - Reasoning: Provides visual context for trend and potential reversals.
  • Show Mean Reversion: True - Reasoning: Highlights potential mean reversion opportunities.
  • Show Bar Colors: True - Reasoning: Offers quick visual assessment of trend strength.
  • Show Bar Predictions: True - Reasoning: Provides detailed numerical insights into model confidence.
  • Use ATR Offset: True - Reasoning: Ensures signals are clearly visible above/below bars, even in volatile conditions.
  • Align Signal with Current Bar: True - Reasoning: Aligns signals to the current bar for immediate visual feedback (note: signals are still based on closed bar data). This configuration is designed for New to ML/Trading Beginners and Visual Confluence Traders who benefit from maximum visual feedback and clear signal representation. By enabling all visual elements, it provides a comprehensive view of the model's analysis, with clear color gradients, numerical predictions, and contextual elements like the envelope and mean reversion signals. This setup is ideal for users who are still learning the indicator and want to maximize visual information for better understanding and decision-making.

Trend Focus Display:​

  • Show Envelope: True - Reasoning: Provides visual context for the prevailing trend.
  • Show Mean Reversion: False - Reasoning: Removes mean reversion signals to focus exclusively on trend-following signals.
  • Show Bar Colors: True - Reasoning: Color-codes bars to quickly visualize trend direction and strength.
  • Show Bar Predictions: False - Reasoning: Hides numerical predictions to declutter the chart and emphasize visual trend signals.
  • Use ATR Offset: True - Reasoning: Ensures trend signals are clearly visible.
  • Align Signal with Current Bar: False - Reasoning: Plots signals on bar close for historical signal stability and trend confirmation. This configuration is tailored for Visual Confluence Traders who primarily focus on trend-following strategies. By enabling the envelope and bar colors while disabling mean reversion signals and bar predictions, it emphasizes the visual representation of the trend direction and strength. The kernel estimate and bar colors provide a clear and uncluttered view of the prevailing trend, while the signals are positioned on bar close for historical signal stability and trend confirmation. This setup is ideal for traders who use Lorentzian Classification as a confluence tool to confirm trend-based trading decisions.
