The Kairi Relative Index is a metric that traders use to to time their purchases of a stock, or to understand trends in the stock market.

A momentum oscillator measures the strength of the up or down movement of price instead of the actual price level. The harder and faster a tradable's price falls, the bigger the oscillator move. The same goes for an upward move. Once the price move slows down, so does the momentum oscillator.

@diazlaz Mind sharing this PNL study you are using? I just started playing with backtesting with strategies and find the default PNL study solely lacking

What is beautiful about this concept is, BNF used similar strategy to make over $400 Million starting with just $6k or so. Who knows how many times he blew up, if he did, if its all true. But, this explains the concept of moving averages and their deviations from the mean.

If someone made this much from one technical indicator it would never go public. If it did that means the indicator is no longer that reliable and has lost its accuracy. Indicators lose their relevance once more people start to use them. There's a study that back tested many popular indicators and all of them performed below the buy and hold strategy meaning they give no edge. The only proven edge you can have with any indicator is finding its optimal parameters which is backed up by a study which tested the default setting of the MACD and the optimal parameters. The 2nd one outperformed the market.
