Curve Position

Curve Position turns the curve position question (where does price sit in the bigger picture?) into a measured readout. It fits a logarithmic growth regression (log price against log elapsed time) over the chart's entire history, wraps it in deviation bands 2 standard errors wide, and reads position 0-100% across the corridor. The fit is walk-forward (each bar uses the regression as of that bar), so plotted history does not repaint.

How to Trade the Curve Position?

• Low on curve (below 33.33%): longs have location and can aim across the corridor, the wholesale side of the map.
• High on curve (above 66.67%): shorts have location, but strong trends can pin the upper band, so gate any fade with a trend filter.
• Equilibrium: neither side holds a location edge; the framework's answer here is patience.
• Corridor break: readings beyond 0-100% mean a band itself gave way. Reassess the map as the fit re-anchors.

The dashboard reports position, zone, bias gate and the fit's point count; long daily or weekly histories make the location worth inheriting on execution timeframes.

Curve Position Settings

• Source (default close): series fitted; only positive values enter the log fit.
• Band Width (Std. Errors) (default 2.0): corridor half-width in log space, so the bands stay proportional to price.
• Warm-Up Bars (default 100): fitted points required before the curve, bands and readout display.
• Low On Curve Below (%) (default 33.33) and High On Curve Above (%) (default 66.67): the zone boundaries.
• Show Zone Boundaries (default on): draws the two separating levels on the price panel.
• Show Dashboard (default on), with location and size options.
• Style inputs cover the side colors, corridor gradient fills and optional zone transition markers.
