Key Features:
- Ticker Inputs: You can select the tickers for two assets. For example, SPY (S&P 500 ETF) and AAPL (Apple stock) can be compared.
- Lookback Period: Choose the number of bars to look back and calculate the Mutual Information. A larger lookback period incorporates more data, but may be less responsive to recent price changes.
- Bins for Discretization: Control the level of granularity for discretizing the asset prices. More bins result in a more detailed MI calculation but can also reduce the signal-to-noise ratio.
- Color Coded MI: The MI plot dynamically changes color to provide visual feedback on whether the relationship between the two assets is strengthening (red) or weakening (blue).
