๐Ÿš€ Introducing HILO Interpolation by QuantEdgeB

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Overview
HILO Interpolation is a dynamic price-action based signal engine crafted to adapt across trending and ranging conditions. By leveraging percentile-based price band interpolation, it identifies high-confidence breakout and breakdown zones. This indicator is designed to serve both as a momentum trigger in trend phases and as a price-reactive entry system during range-bound consolidation.
By intelligently switching between percentile thresholds and interpolated logic, HILO minimizes noise and whipsaws commonly seen in traditional crossover systems.

โœจ Key Features
๐Ÿ”น Percentile Interpolation Engine
Tracks price breakouts using percentile thresholds, making it adaptable to volatility and asset-specific structure.
๐Ÿ”น Price-Based Signal Confirmation
Signals are only triggered when price meaningfully crosses through key percentile thresholds (based on historical high/low logic).
๐Ÿ”น Visual Trend Encoding
Color-coded candles, dynamic interpolation bands, and optional long/cash labels give clear visual cues for trend and trade direction.
๐Ÿ”น Dynamic Threshold Switching
Interpolated threshold flips based on where price sits relative to percentile bandsโ€”providing adaptive long/short logic.

๐Ÿ“Š How It Works
1๏ธโƒฃ Percentile Zone Definition
HILO defines two key percentiles from the historical high and low:
โ€ข Upper Threshold: 75th Percentile of Highs
โ€ข Lower Threshold: 50th Percentile of Lows
These are calculated using linear interpolation to ensure smoother transitions across lookback periods.

2๏ธโƒฃ Adaptive Signal Line
Instead of using static crossovers, HILO dynamically flips its signal based on whether price exceeds the upper threshold or falls below the lower one.
๐Ÿ“Œ If price > upper โ†’ Signal = Short threshold
๐Ÿ“Œ If price < lower โ†’ Signal = Long threshold
๐Ÿ“Œ If price remains between thresholds โ†’ no flip (trend continuation)

3๏ธโƒฃ Signal Logic
โœ… Long Signal โ†’ Price exceeds upper bound while lower bound acts as ceiling
โŒ Short Signal โ†’ Price breaks below lower percentile while upper bound flips
This simple yet powerful mechanism creates early entries while maintaining high signal confidence.

๐Ÿ‘ Visual & Custom Features
โ€ข ๐ŸŽจ Multiple Color Modes: Strategy, Solar, Warm, Cool, Classic, Magic
โ€ข ๐Ÿ”„ Dynamic Candle & Band Coloring
โ€ข ๐Ÿท๏ธ Signal Labels: Optional โ€œ๐“›๐“ธ๐“ท๐“ฐโ€ and โ€œ๐“ข๐“ฑ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ฝโ€ tags when trend flips
โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฌ Alerts Ready: Long/Short crossover conditions can trigger alerts instantly

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Who Should Use HILO?
โœ… Breakout Traders โ€“ Catch early trend starts using percentile filters
โœ… Swing Traders โ€“ Identify directional bias shifts in advance
โœ… Range Strategists โ€“ Use band confluence zones to play reversions
โœ… Quant & Rule-Based Traders โ€“ Incorporate percentile logic into broader systems

โš™๏ธ Customization & Default Settings

Percentile Length:(Default 35) Lookback for calculating percentile thresholds
Lookback Period:(Default 4) Lag factor for interpolation responsiveness
Upper % Threshold: (Default 75) Defines breakout zone from historical highs
Lower % Threshold: (Default 50) Defines retest/accumulation zone from historical lows

๐Ÿ“Œ How to Use HILO in Trading
1๏ธโƒฃ Trend-Following Strategy
โœ” Enter long when price flips above the adaptive support line
โœ” Exit or go short when price breaks below the interpolated resistance
โœ” Continue position as long as trend color persists
2๏ธโƒฃ Range-Reversion Strategy
โœ” Buy when price tests the lower threshold and no short signal is triggered
โœ” Sell or reduce when price hits the upper range boundary

๐Ÿง  Why It Works
HILO operates on the principle that historical price structure creates natural probabilistic thresholds. By interpolating between these using percentile logic, the system maintains adaptability to changing market conditionsโ€”without the lag of moving averages or the noise of fixed bands.

๐Ÿ”น Conclusion
HILO Interpolation is a minimalist yet powerful signal engine built for adaptive breakout and reversion detection. Its percentile-based logic offers a novel way to identify structure shifts, giving traders an edge in both trend and range markets.

๐Ÿ”น Key Takeaways:
1๏ธโƒฃ Breakout Entry Logic โ€“ Uses percentile interpolation instead of static bands
2๏ธโƒฃ Color-Driven Clarity โ€“ Visual clarity via gradient zone overlays
3๏ธโƒฃ Trend Integrity โ€“ Avoids overfitting and responds only to significant price movements
