Similarity

Similar Price ActionDescription: The indicator tries to find an area of N candles in history that has the most similar price action to the latest N candles. The maximum search distance is limited to 5000 candles. It works by calculating a coefficient for each candle and comparing it with the coefficient of the latest candle, thus searching for two closest values. The indicator highlights the latest N candles, as well as the most similar area found in the past, and also tries to predict future price based on the latest price and price directly after the most similar area that was found in the past. Inputs: - Length -> the area we are searching for is comprised of this many candles - Lookback -> maximum distance in which a similar area can be found - Function -> the function used to compare latest and past prices Notes: - The indicator is intended to work on smaller timeframes where the overall price difference is not very high, but can be used on any

SimilarityMeasuresLibrary "SimilarityMeasures" Similarity measures are statistical methods used to quantify the distance between different data sets or strings. There are various types of similarity measures, including those that compare: - data points (SSD, Euclidean, Manhattan, Minkowski, Chebyshev, Correlation, Cosine, Camberra, MAE, MSE, Lorentzian, Intersection, Penrose Shape, Meehl), - strings (Edit(Levenshtein), Lee, Hamming, Jaro), - probability distributions (Mahalanobis, Fidelity, Bhattacharyya, Hellinger), - sets (Kumar Hassebrook, Jaccard, Sorensen, Chi Square). --- These measures are used in various fields such as data analysis, machine learning, and pattern recognition. They help to compare and analyze similarities and differences between different data sets or strings, which can be useful for making predictions, classifications, and decisions. --- References: en.wikipedia.org cran.r-project.org numerics.mathdotnet.com github.com github.com github.com Encyclopedia of Distances, doi.org ssd(p, q)   Sum of squared difference for N dimensions.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Measure of distance that calculates the squared euclidean distance. euclidean(p, q)   Euclidean distance for N dimensions.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Measure of distance that calculates the straight-line (or Euclidean). manhattan(p, q)   Manhattan distance for N dimensions.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Measure of absolute differences between both points. minkowski(p, q, p_value)   Minkowsky Distance for N dimensions.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.      p_value (float) : `float` P value, default=1.0(1: manhatan, 2: euclidean), does not support chebychev.   Returns: Measure of similarity in the normed vector space. chebyshev(p, q)   Chebyshev distance for N dimensions.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Measure of maximum absolute difference. correlation(p, q)   Correlation distance for N dimensions.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Measure of maximum absolute difference. cosine(p, q)   Cosine distance between provided vectors.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` 1D Vector.      q (float ) : `array` 1D Vector.   Returns: The Cosine distance between vectors `p` and `q`. --- angiogenesis.dkfz.de camberra(p, q)   Camberra distance for N dimensions.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Weighted measure of absolute differences between both points. mae(p, q)   Mean absolute error is a normalized version of the sum of absolute difference (manhattan).   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Mean absolute error of vectors `p` and `q`. mse(p, q)   Mean squared error is a normalized version of the sum of squared difference.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Mean squared error of vectors `p` and `q`. lorentzian(p, q)   Lorentzian distance between provided vectors.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Lorentzian distance of vectors `p` and `q`. --- angiogenesis.dkfz.de intersection(p, q)   Intersection distance between provided vectors.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Intersection distance of vectors `p` and `q`. --- angiogenesis.dkfz.de penrose(p, q)   Penrose Shape distance between provided vectors.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Penrose shape distance of vectors `p` and `q`. --- angiogenesis.dkfz.de meehl(p, q)   Meehl distance between provided vectors.   Parameters:      p (float ) : `array` Vector with first numeric distribution.      q (float ) : `array` Vector with second numeric distribution.   Returns: Meehl distance of vectors `p` and `q`. --- angiogenesis.dkfz.de edit(x, y)   Edit (aka Levenshtein) distance for indexed strings.   Parameters:      x (int ) : `array` Indexed array.      y (int ) : `array` Indexed array.   Returns: Number of deletions, insertions, or substitutions required to transform source string into target string. --- generated description: The Edit distance is a measure of similarity used to compare two strings.

The Echo Forecast [LuxAlgo]This indicator uses a simple time series forecasting method derived from the similarity between recent prices and similar/dissimilar historical prices. We named this method "ECHO". This method originally assumes that future prices can be estimated from a historical series of observations that are most similar to the most recent price variations. This similarity is quantified using the correlation coefficient. Such an assumption can prove to be relatively effective with the forecasting of a periodic time series. We later introduced the ability to select dissimilar series of observations for further experimentation. This forecasting technique is closely inspired by the analogue method introduced by Lorenz for the prediction of atmospheric data. 1. Settings Evaluation Window: Window size used for finding historical observations similar/dissimilar to recent observations. The total evaluation window is equal to "Forecast Window" + "Evaluation Window" Forecast Window: Determines the forecasting horizon. Forecast Mode: Determines whether to choose historical series similar or dissimilar to the recent price observations. Forecast Construction: Determines how the forecast is constructed. See "Usage" below. Src: Source input of the forecast Other style settings are self-explanatory. 2. Usage This tool can be used to forecast future trends but also to indicate which historical variations have the highest degree of similarity/dissimilarity between the observations in the orange zone. The forecasting window determines the prices segment (in orange) to be used as a reference for the search of the most similar/dissimilar historical price segment (in green) within the gray area. Most forecasting techniques highly benefit from a detrended series. Due to the nature of this method, we highly recommend applying it to a detrended and periodic series. You can see above the method is applied on a smooth periodic oscillator and a momentum oscillator. The construction of the forecast is made from the price changes obtained in the green area, denoted as w(t) . Using the "Cumulative" options we construct the forecast from the cumulative sum of w(t) . Finally, we add the most recent price value to this cumulated series. Using the "Mean" options will add the series w(t) with the mean of the prices within the orange segment. Finally the "Linreg" will add the series w(t) to an extrapolated linear regression fit to the prices within the orange segment.
