Z-score question
« on: March 16, 2015, 11:26:40 am »
Is the Z score the standard deviation trigger? So if in my Ratio system I use Standard deviation at 2.5, my Z score will trigger the trade at =<-2.5 or => 2.5, correct? Thanks.

Yes, correct. You can see detailed explanation at the Wiki. For uptick and downtick modes the Z-score of previous day matters too.
