What does Disparity measure?
Today's price expressed as a percentage of its own average — 100 means sitting exactly on the line, 105 means 5% above it.
How is Disparity calculated?
Divide today's close by the 14-candle simple average of the close, and multiply by 100.
Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.
How do I use Disparity in a bot?
In the builder, add an indicator of type disparity (parameters: length, default 14). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
