The Kairi Relative Index is one of those handy indicators that shows how far the current price has strayed from its average. Think of it like a rubber band - when prices stretch too far from the average, they often snap back.

What is Kairi Relative Index Indicator?​

The Kairi Index (KRI for short) is pretty straightforward - it measures the percentage difference between today's closing price and its moving average. When the line is above zero, price is above average. Below zero? Price is below average.

Here's how it's calculated:

KRI = ((Close - SMA) / SMA) × 100

In plain English:

  • Take today's closing price
  • Subtract the moving average
  • Divide by that same moving average
  • Multiply by 100 to get a percentage

This helps spot:

  • When markets might be stretched too far
  • Potential turning points
  • Changes in momentum
  • Good times to enter or exit trades

The Basics​

  • Above zero = Price is above average (bullish)
  • Below zero = Price is below average (bearish)
  • Zero line acts like a support/resistance

Trading Ideas​

  1. Extreme highs (+10% to +15%) might mean overbought
  2. Extreme lows (-10% to -15%) might mean oversold
  3. Crossing zero can signal trend changes
  4. When price and indicator disagree (divergence), watch for reversals

Pro Tips​

  • Don't use it alone - combine with other tools
  • Consider the bigger trend first
  • Adjust the period for more/less sensitivity
  • Volatile stocks need wider bands

Testing Kairi Relative Index Strategies​

Before risking real money, test your ideas. Pineify makes this easy with:

What to Test​

  1. Entry rules (when to buy/sell)
  2. Exit rules (when to take profits/losses)
  3. Risk controls (how much to risk)
  4. Position sizing (how much to trade)

Testing Tools​

  • Market orders (enter/exit at current prices)
  • Profit targets (auto-sell at good levels)
  • Stop losses (limit your downside)
  • Trailing stops (lock in gains)
  • Performance stats (see what works)

Example Strategy​

// When to buy
buySignal = kri < -10 and kri[1] >= -10  // KRI bounces from oversold

// When to sell
sellSignal = kri > 10 and kri[1] <= 10   // KRI falls from overbought

// Exit rules
exitLong = kri > 10   // Take profit when overbought
exitShort = kri < -10 // Cover when oversold

Testing helps you see how the indicator behaves in different markets without risking capital.
