tsa (method)
Using a time series analysis, this method attempts to forecast the close price of the next period. This information is combined with xtrend and smacross to indicate the strength of an expected price move.
To refine this method, other indicators are available to be used as confirmation for both buying and selling. For example you could have Gunbot buy when the forecasted price crosses up ask and RSI is 30 or lower.
How to work with it
Buy method conditions
A buy order is allowed when ask price crosses under the forecasted price.
Sell method conditions
A sell order is allowed when the bid price crosses up the forecasted price.
