The input numbers can of course be changed as you please.
- Check the trend filter, using a 50/100 EMA.
- Check the last 20 day extreme price, in the direction of the trend.
- Check current price.
- Calculate the difference between current price and 20 day trend extreme.
- Normalize this difference by dividing it by a 50 day ATR.
