Rising
[[rising]] checks whether its source increases at every step in a sequence of valid values. The block returns 1.0 when every comparison is a strict increase and 0.0 as soon as the next valid value is flat or below the preceding one.
length counts strict comparisons, not observed values. With length = 3, four consecutive valid values must therefore form three increases.
Block declaration
A strategy can contain multiple [[rising]] blocks. Each block outputs one numeric series, exposed through the block id.
Examples
Minimal setup
This block checks whether the close series rises across three consecutive comparisons.
[[rising]]
id = "rising"
length = 3Custom source
This block applies the same test to the hlc3 source.
[[rising]]
id = "rising_hlc3"
source = "hlc3"
length = 5Finding the optimal length
This block explores several length values to test different durations of continuous rise.
[[rising]]
id = "rising"
source = "close"
length.start = 2
length.stop = 10
length.step = 2Recent rise confirmation
This example uses rising to check that close rises across three consecutive comparisons. The condition becomes true when close_rising is 1.0.
[[rising]]
id = "close_rising"
source = "close"
length = 3
[[condition]]
id = "recent_rise_filter"
condition = "close_rising = 1"
next_block_id = "..."Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
idString Required | Unique identifier for the resulting series. |
sourceString or Array Optional | Input series used for the calculation. Accepted forms: source = "hl2" or source = ["close", "hl2"].Each value can be either a standard price source ( open, close, high, low, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4, hlcc4, volume) or the id of another indicator.Default value: "close" |
lengthInteger Required | Number of strictly rising comparisons to verify; it must be between 1 and 10000.Usage: • Fixed: length = value• Grid search: – length.start = min_value– length.stop = max_value– length.step = value (optional, default 1) |
symbolString or Array Optional | Market symbol(s) used when source only consists of standard prices (open, close, high, low, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4, hlcc4, volume).If source mixes standard prices and indicator ids, symbol is applied only to combinations based on standard prices.If source contains only indicator ids, symbol is ignored.If symbol is omitted, the block inherits the symbol defined in [backtest].For symbol format, arrays, and alignment rules, see Exchanges, Symbols and Timeframes. |
timeframeString or Array Optional | Timeframe on which this indicator is computed. If timeframe is omitted, the computation uses the grid’s main timeframe defined in [backtest].For accepted formats and timeframe alignment rules, see Exchanges, Symbols and Timeframes. |
Available variables
Use the identifiers below directly in your expressions. The Rising block exposes one numeric series and its parameters (length, source, symbol, timeframe).
Assume the block is configured as:
[[rising]]
id = "rising"
length = 3Then:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
rising or rising[0]Decimal | Current test value. It is 1.0 when the source rises across length consecutive comparisons, otherwise 0.0. |
rising[n]Decimal | Test value from n candles ago. |
rising.lengthDecimal | Length used for the current combination. |
rising.sourceString | Name of the input series. |
rising.symbolString | Market symbol used by this block. |
rising.timeframeString | Timeframe used for the computation. |
Notes
- The
risingblock always returns a numeric value, either0.0or1.0. - Numeric variables can be combined freely in formulas.
- Text variables are strings intended only for equality and inequality comparisons.
