Compare Timeframes Without Treating Agreement as Probability
A daily trend can differ from an intraday move because the bars cover different intervals. This page places three rule-based summaries side by side. It does not demonstrate that an aligned reading wins more often, nor does disagreement establish that a price move is false.
Check the Data Before the Score
- Enter a provider symbol or select a shortcut, then Analyze. Shortcuts populate the input; they are not recommendations or guarantees of data coverage.
- Read each card’s provider bar date. Within a timeframe the four indicators use the newest date common to all responses, which can be older than the newest row in one response. Across timeframes, bar dates need not match.
- Inspect price, SMA(20), EMA(20), RSI(14) and ADX(14). Price uses the instrument’s quote currency. Timezone and closed-bar status are not supplied by this interface.
- Trace the points back to the rules below. Re-run after data updates if needed; the tool does not stream updates and the backend caches these requests for 15 minutes.
The Exact Classification Rules
- SMA and EMA: price more than 0.5% above an average votes bullish; more than 0.5% below votes bearish; the boundary and values between are neutral.
- RSI: 50 < RSI < 70 votes bullish; 30 < RSI < 50 votes bearish. Other values, including the boundaries, vote neutral. An extreme reading is not automatically a reversal.
- Direction: at least two of the SMA, EMA and RSI votes must agree. Otherwise the timeframe is neutral. ADX does not determine direction.
- Points: directional classifications start at 50; add 15 for each aligned moving average, 10 for aligned RSI and 10 when ADX is at least 25. A neutral timeframe displays 50 rule points but adds zero to the overall directional score.
- Alignment: sum signed timeframe points with daily/4H/1H weights of 0.40/0.35/0.25, then round. “All Bullish” or “All Bearish” requires all three directional labels to agree; it is not defined by a score threshold alone.
A Reproducible Interpretation Check
In a hypothetical timeframe, price 102 with SMA 100 and EMA 101 gives two bullish MA votes. RSI 60 adds a bullish vote; ADX 20 adds no bonus. The timeframe has 90 points. Three such bullish timeframes produce +90 overall. This is arithmetic under the chosen rules, not a 90% win probability.
Limitations and a Testing Workflow
The indicators are related transformations of price; the three timeframes also overlap. Agreement is not three independent pieces of evidence. Define entry, exit, costs, position sizing and closed-bar handling before comparing an aligned rule with a baseline over the same historical period. Keep a later period untouched for evaluation and report trade count, drawdown and costs, not only win rate.
The page does not run that backtest. It also does not verify that a provider bar is complete, calculate execution prices, estimate a success probability or send orders. Missing indicator values produce an error instead of an invented neutral reading.
