Know Sure Thing (KST)

Know Sure Thing — a smoothed composite ROC oscillator with a signal line. Know Sure Thing (KST) combines four smoothed Rate of Change values with different weights. It is designed to identify major market cycles on daily, weekly, and monthly charts. A crossover of KST with the signal line or zero are trading signals.

Formula:

KST = (SMA(ROC(p,roc1),sma1)*1 + SMA(ROC(p,roc2),sma2)*2 + SMA(ROC(p,roc3),sma3)*3 + SMA(ROC(p,roc4),sma4)*4)
Signal = SMA(KST, signal_period)

Triggers

Trigger	Direction	Condition	Description
Level cross up	🟢 Buy	The indicator value crossed the specified level from below to above.	The KST line crosses the configurable level Level from below to above. Level is set in the trigger parameters.
Level cross down	🔴 Sell	The indicator value crossed the specified level from above to below.	The KST line crosses the Level from above to below. Level is set in the trigger parameters.
Value above level by N	🟢 Buy	The indicator value rose above the level by the specified distance.	The KST line crosses the Level + Distance mark, moving up. The distance delays entry until a confirmed breakout of the level.
Value below level by N	🔴 Sell	The indicator value dropped below the level by the specified distance.	The KST line crosses the Level − Distance mark, moving down.
Value rising	🟢 Buy	The indicator value is rising relative to the previous bar.	The KST line is higher on the current bar than on the previous one — upward momentum.
Value falling	🔴 Sell	The indicator value is falling relative to the previous bar.	The KST line is lower on the current bar than on the previous one — downward momentum. Fires on every declining bar.
Slope turns positive	🟢 Buy	The indicator slope turned positive — an upward reversal.	The KST line changes its slope from descending to ascending — the indicator stopped falling and started rising.
Slope turns negative	🔴 Sell	The indicator slope turned negative — a downward reversal.	The KST line changes its slope from ascending to descending — the indicator stopped rising and started falling.
Signal line cross up	🟢 Buy	The main line crossed the signal line from below to above — a buy signal.	The KST line crosses the signal line from below to above — a bullish crossover.
Signal line cross down	🔴 Sell	The main line crossed the signal line from above to below — a sell signal.	The KST line crosses the signal line from above to below — a bearish crossover.
Zero cross up	🟢 Buy	The indicator line crossed zero from below to above — a buy signal.	The KST line crosses the zero level from below to above.
Zero cross down	🔴 Sell	The indicator line crossed zero from above to below — a sell signal.	The KST line crosses the zero level from above to below.
Histogram crosses zero up	🟢 Buy	The histogram crossed zero from below to above — a buy signal.	The histogram (KST) crosses the zero level from below to above — a bullish signal.
Histogram crosses zero down	🔴 Sell	The histogram crossed zero from above to below — a sell signal.	The histogram (KST) crosses the zero level from above to below — a bearish signal.
Line diverges from signal	↕️ Both	The distance between the main line and the signal line increased by the specified amount.	The KST line moves away from the signal line — momentum is strengthening.
Line converges to signal	↕️ Both	The distance between the main line and the signal line decreased by the specified amount.	The KST line converges to the signal line: the distance shrinks, a crossover may be building up.
