Up/Down Streak

Up/Down Streak is the signed length of the current run of consecutive close increases or decreases.

Also known assigned price streak

Definitions

In plain terms

An up day increments a positive streak, a down day extends a negative streak, and an equal close resets it under this package.

Technical

The recurrence freezes equality precision, first row, missing bars, adjustment basis, state resets, and revisions.

Scope

Streak length counts bars and is not the cumulative price return.

Examples

  • A governed lesson calculates or identifies Up/Down Streak only after its inputs, window, state, scale, and edge cases are declared.

Common misconceptions

  • Streak length counts bars and is not the cumulative price return.
