ROC ratio

What does ROC ratio measure?

Today's price as a multiple of what it was. 1.05 means up 5%, 0.95 means down 5%.

How is ROC ratio calculated?

Divide today's close by the close from 12 candles ago.

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 ROC ratio in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type rocr (parameters: length, default 12). 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.
