Kairi Ritsu KRI
- Indicators
- Version: 1.0
The Kairi Ritsu (KRI) is a technical momentum oscillator primarily used to identify overextended market conditions. It measures the percentage deviation of the current price from its Moving Average.
Here is a guide on how to interpret and trade using this indicator:
1. Core Logic: Mean Reversion
The fundamental principle of the KRI is that prices eventually return to their average.
-
When the KRI is at a high positive value, the price is "stretched" too far above the average (Overbought).
-
When the KRI is at a low negative value, the price is "stretched" too far below the average (Oversold).
2. Identifying Extremes (Overbought & Oversold)
Unlike indicators with fixed boundaries (like RSI), the KRI levels depend on the asset's volatility.
-
For Major Forex Pairs: Typical extreme levels are often found at +/- 2.0%.
-
For Volatile Assets (XAUUSD, US30, US100): You might look for extremes at +/- 3.0% to 5.0%.
-
Action: Look for the KRI to reach these historical extremes and start curving back toward the Zero Line as a signal for a potential reversal.
3. The Zero Line Cross
The Zero Line represents the point where the Price and the Moving Average are equal.
-
Bullish Signal: When the KRI crosses above 0, it confirms that the price is gaining upward momentum relative to its average.
-
Bearish Signal: When the KRI crosses below 0, it confirms that the price is gaining downward momentum.
