๐ Introducing HILO Interpolation by QuantEdgeB ๐ ๏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. โจ Key Features ๐น Percentile Interpolation Engine Tracks price breakouts using percentile thresholds, making it adaptable to volatility and asset-specific structure. ๐น Price-Based Signal Confirmation Signals are only triggered when price meaningfully crosses through key percentile thresholds (based on historical high/low logic). ๐น Visual Trend Encoding Color-coded candles, dynamic interpolation bands, and optional long/cash labels give clear visual cues for trend and trade direction. ๐น Dynamic Threshold Switching Interpolated threshold flips based on where price sits relative to percentile bandsโproviding adaptive long/short logic. ๐ How It Works 1๏ธโฃ Percentile Zone Definition HILO defines two key percentiles from the historical high and low: โข Upper Threshold: 75th Percentile of Highs โข Lower Threshold: 50th Percentile of Lows These are calculated using linear interpolation to ensure smoother transitions across lookback periods.
2๏ธโฃ 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. ๐ If price > upper โ Signal = Short threshold ๐ If price < lower โ Signal = Long threshold ๐ If price remains between thresholds โ no flip (trend continuation)
3๏ธโฃ Signal Logic โ Long Signal โ Price exceeds upper bound while lower bound acts as ceiling โ 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.
๐ Visual & Custom Features โข ๐จ Multiple Color Modes: Strategy, Solar, Warm, Cool, Classic, Magic โข ๐ Dynamic Candle & Band Coloring โข ๐ท๏ธ Signal Labels: Optional โ๐๐ธ๐ท๐ฐโ and โ๐ข๐ฑ๐ธ๐ป๐ฝโ tags when trend flips โข ๐ฌ Alerts Ready: Long/Short crossover conditions can trigger alerts instantly ๐ฅ Who Should Use HILO? โ Breakout Traders โ Catch early trend starts using percentile filters โ Swing Traders โ Identify directional bias shifts in advance โ Range Strategists โ Use band confluence zones to play reversions โ Quant & Rule-Based Traders โ Incorporate percentile logic into broader systems โ๏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
๐ How to Use HILO in Trading 1๏ธโฃ Trend-Following Strategy โ Enter long when price flips above the adaptive support line โ Exit or go short when price breaks below the interpolated resistance โ Continue position as long as trend color persists 2๏ธโฃ Range-Reversion Strategy โ Buy when price tests the lower threshold and no short signal is triggered โ Sell or reduce when price hits the upper range boundary ๐ง 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 conditionsโwithout the lag of moving averages or the noise of fixed bands. ๐น 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. ๐น Key Takeaways: 1๏ธโฃ Breakout Entry Logic โ Uses percentile interpolation instead of static bands 2๏ธโฃ Color-Driven Clarity โ Visual clarity via gradient zone overlays 3๏ธโฃ Trend Integrity โ Avoids overfitting and responds only to significant price movements ๐ Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results.
