K's Reversal Indicator III

The K's Reversal Indicator III tool identifies potential market exhaustion points by combining autocorrelation analysis of price returns with the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Usage

The indicator generates visual signals on the chart to identify short-term reversal opportunities based on the convergence of momentum and trend persistence.

• Bullish Reversal: A green upward triangle appears below the price bar when the autocorrelation is high (above 0.60) and the RSI indicates oversold conditions (below 40).
• Bearish Reversal: A red downward triangle appears above the price bar when the autocorrelation is high (above 0.60) and the RSI indicates overbought conditions (above 60).

These signals are designed to exploit moments where strong trending behavior (positive autocorrelation) meets technical extremes, suggesting a high probability of a mean-reversion move.

Details

The indicator relies on the concept of autocorrelation of returns. It first calculates the price differential (returns) as the difference between the current close and the previous close. It then measures the correlation between the current return and the return from 14 periods ago over a 14-period lookback window.

The underlying theory suggests that when returns are highly correlated, the market is in a strong trending phase. When this trending phase occurs simultaneously with an RSI extreme, it may signal that the trend has become overextended and is ripe for a reversal.

Settings

• Price Source: While fixed to the close price in the logic, the indicator uses the difference between the current and previous close to determine returns.
• Lookback Period: The indicator utilizes a 14-period window for both the RSI calculation and the correlation measurement.
• Correlation Threshold: A fixed threshold of 0.60 is used to define "extreme" autocorrelation.
• RSI Thresholds: Fixed levels of 40 (bullish) and 60 (bearish) are used to filter the signals.

FAQ

How do I access K's Reversal Indicator III?

You can get access on the LuxAlgo Library for charting platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), and NinjaTrader for free.

What does a high correlation value signify in this script?

High positive correlation in this context indicates that price returns are moving in a consistent, trending fashion relative to their past behavior, which the script uses to find exhaustion points.

Can I use this indicator on any timeframe?

Yes, the logic is mathematical and applies to any timeframe, though it is primarily designed to capture short-term exploitation of trend exhaustion.
