📈 Price Trend Thresholds

Price trend sensors compare the upcoming price average to the current price and report whether prices are rising, falling, or stable. These thresholds define how much of a change is required before the trend sensor changes state.

See Trend Sensors for a full explanation of all trend sensors, how volatility-adaption works, and automation examples.

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Rising	+3%	Future average this much above current → rising
Strongly rising	+9%	Future average far above current → strongly_rising
Falling	-3%	Future average this much below current → falling
Strongly falling	-9%	Future average far below current → strongly_falling

Prices within the rising/falling range are reported as stable.

Volatility-adaptive thresholds

On high-volatility days, the thresholds automatically widen to prevent the trend sensor from flickering constantly due to natural price variation. The effective threshold is scaled based on the day's volatility level:

• Low volatility: Thresholds used as-is
• Moderate volatility: Thresholds slightly widened
• High / Very High volatility: Thresholds significantly widened

This means the same rising threshold (3%) may correspond to a 5% effective threshold on a volatile day. The scaling is automatic — you only need to configure the baseline values here.

Adjusting for your market

• If trend sensors flicker too often on typical days → increase all thresholds slightly (e.g., 4% / 12%)
• If trend sensors rarely change even on obviously moving price days → decrease thresholds (e.g., 2% / 6%)
• For markets with structural day/night patterns, consider using the strongly_* states in automations to ensure only major movements trigger actions
