Do smoothed positive or negative candle bodies dominate relative to the range?
Relates smoothed close-open moves to smoothed high-low ranges and adds a signal line.
One dataset, the same parameters and the same candle for application and explanation.
BTCUSDC · confirmed hourly candles
Snapshot retrieved: 11 Oct 2026, 15:52 UTC · stored snapshot · background refresh scheduled · age when opened: 3,139 min
11 Sept 2026, 15:00 — 11 Oct 2026, 15:00 UTC · 720 evaluation candles · 3000 earlier candles for warm-up only. Your opened snapshot stays fixed. A visit can refresh a stale cache in the background for later visitors; fetching fresh is not a tick stream.
Parameters and precise application
Number of confirmed hourly candles. Warm-up history stays fixed; only this parameter changes.
Number of confirmed hourly candles. Warm-up history stays fixed; only this parameter changes.
Directional rule · long or cash
Line pair: RVGI / RVGI Signal. BUY when the first line crosses the second from below; SELL on the reverse cross. Confirmed closes only; cash start, no shorts/pyramiding. Fills no earlier than the next open with fees and slippage. Thresholds are analysis conventions, not optimized recommendations.
Shared capital and cost model
Includes the buy fee; the remainder stays in cash.
One adverse markup/markdown. Do not add spread a second time.
1 = next open. No retroactive trade at the signal close.
Preparing the calculation module. The shared market snapshot is already available.
Calculation and interpretation of the same candle
Signs and signal crossings describe the relative direction of candle bodies.
ΣₙSWMA(C−O)/ΣₙSWMA(H−L); Signal=SWMA(RVGI)
Relative Vigor Index; complete symmetric weighted windows; zero denominator unavailable.
RVGI is the Relative Vigor Index and differs from the Relative Volatility Index RVI; narrow ranges can destabilize ratios.

The sources support definitions and methodological limits. They do not establish profit for this specific BTCUSDC rule. This analysis is descriptive; parameter trials on the same history are not independent out-of-sample evidence. Parity with a deployed unCoded engine is not claimed.
