The Reversal Engine is one of the most advanced components of Momentum Concepts. It uses a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm to calculate the statistical probability of a top or bottom.

How KNN Works

  1. Feature Extraction: It tracks 8 dimensions of momentum (CCI over multiple timeframes).

  2. Historical Comparison: Every new candle, the engine looks back at your "Max Samples" and finds the "K" most similar historical patterns.

  3. Probability Scoring:

    • If most similar patterns in the past led to a bottom, the Bottom Probability increases.

    • If they led to a top, the Top Probability increases.

Signal Threshold

By default, the Signal Threshold is set to 80%. When the probability of a reversal crosses this line, the engine is "Primed".

Reversal Markers

  • Upward Triangle: Triggers when the Bottom Probability crosses back under the threshold after reaching an extreme. Indicates a confirmed bottoming pattern.

  • Downward Triangle: Triggers when the Top Probability crosses back under the threshold after reaching an extreme. Indicates a confirmed topping pattern.

Sensitivity

  • K-Value: Lower values make the engine more sensitive; higher values make it more stable.

  • Max Samples: Increasing this provides more historical context but requires more processing power.
