What does Know sure thing measure?
A long-horizon momentum curve that blends four different look-backs, so it is slow to be fooled by a single fast move.
How is Know sure thing calculated?
Take the percentage change over 10, 15, 20 and 30 candles. Smooth each one, then add them with weights of 1, 2, 3 and 4 so the longest look-back counts most. Those four look-backs are fixed. `signal` is the result averaged over a further 9 candles.
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 Know sure thing in a bot?
In the builder, add an indicator of type kst (parameters: length, default 14). Its output series — line, signal — become operands 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.
