UNO KRI is a powerful deviation-based oscillator that measures the percentage distance between price and a selected Moving Average. It helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions, trend pullbacks, and price overextensions with high flexibility.

Unlike traditional momentum indicators, KRI_UNO focuses purely on how far price has stretched away from its mean value, making it highly effective for mean reversion and pullback trading strategies.

🔢 Formula

KRI=(Price−MovingAverage)/MovingAverage×100\text{KRI} = (Price − Moving Average) / Moving Average × 100KRI=(Price−MovingAverage)/MovingAverage×100

The output represents the percentage deviation of price from the chosen MA.

🔧 Features

• Supports multiple Moving Average types:
SMA, EMA, WMA, WWMA (Wilder), VIDYA (Adaptive), ZLEMA (Zero-Lag), TSF (Linear Regression Forecast), HMA (Hull), VWMA (Volume Weighted), TMA (Triangular)

• Customizable MA period
• Adjustable overbought and oversold levels
• Works with any price source (Close, Open, High, Low, etc.)
• Clear zero line for trend bias reference

📈 How It Works

• Above 0 → Price is trading above the MA (bullish bias)
• Below 0 → Price is trading below the MA (bearish bias)
• Above Upper Level → Potential overbought condition
• Below Lower Level → Potential oversold condition

During strong trends, the indicator may remain extended, confirming trend strength rather than signaling immediate reversal.

🎯 Advantages

✔ Highly flexible with 10 MA types for different trading styles
✔ Useful for both mean reversion and trend pullback strategies
✔ Percentage-based calculation makes it consistent across all instruments
✔ Helps detect overextended market conditions early
✔ Can be optimized for scalping, intraday, or swing trading
✔ Works well in combination with trend filters and price action

💡 Best Used For

• Identifying pullbacks in trending markets
• Detecting overbought/oversold conditions in ranging markets
• Confirming trend bias relative to moving average
• Building automated trading strategies (cBots)

• Options: SMA, EMA, WMA, WWMA, VIDYA, ZLEMA, TSF, HMA, VWMA, TMA
• Choose based on your trading style and timeframe

3️⃣ Source (Source)

• Default: Close
• Determines which price series to use (Close, Open, High, Low)

4️⃣ Upper Level (UpperLevel)

• Default: 2
• Marks overbought threshold
• Increase for strong trends, decrease for more sensitivity

💡 Usage Tips

• Scalping: Length 10–30, HMA/ZLEMA, Levels ±2–3
• Swing Trading: Length 50–100, SMA/EMA/TMA, Levels ±5–10
• Trend Confirmation: Watch if Kairi stays above 0 (uptrend) or below 0 (downtrend); extreme levels indicate strong trend, not necessarily reversal
  
  ✅ Summary Recommendation
• Best Markets: Forex majors & Gold
• Reason:
• • Liquid, relatively predictable trends
  • Responds well to MA-based deviations
• Secondary Markets: Indices & Crypto
• • Works, but needs wider thresholds and trend filters due to high volatility

💡 Pro Tip:

• Use HMA or ZLEMA for Gold or volatile markets
• Use SMA/EMA for Forex and indices for smoother signals
• Adjust Upper/Lower levels depending on volatility (e.g., ±2–3 for Forex, ±5–10 for Gold)
