3. **Candle Stairs Patterns**: This is an unusual pattern proving any dataset may be plotted on the charts (and by extension, that anything can be added to the system). A Stair Pattern is defined as a set of candles going in the same direction, either up or down. You can think of these patterns as "Candle Channels", as they represent channels with an up or down direction based on underlying candles direction.

4. **Volume Stairs Patterns**: A similar concept, this time with volumes. Whenever a sequence of volume bars is found where each one is bigger than the previous one, they are bundled together in a "Stair". The same applies when they are going down (the next is smaller than the previous one). For a trading bot, this serves to identify if sell or buy volumes are raising or declining, if any.

5. **Bollinger Bands**: This is the traditional [Bollinger Bands indicator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollinger_Bands). Bollinger Bands have a moving average, in our case calculated with the last 20 periods (the line in the middle of the bands). We are plotting the moving average with one color when it is going up, and with a different color when it's going down. The upper band is at 2 Standard Deviations from the center, pretty much like the lower band, also at 2 Standard Deviations. These are the most widely used Bollinger Bands settings.

6. **Percentage Bandwidth or %B**: This is a well-known indicator that derives from the Bollinger Bands. In a nutshell it tells you how close the price is either to the upper band or the lower band at any point in time. When the price is in the middle of the bands (it is calculated with the close value of each candle), then %B is in the middle of its chart, at value 50. When the price touches the upper band, then %B is at 100, and finally when the price is at the lower band, then %B is at 0.

|
||||
|
||||
The chart features lines at %B value 30 and 70 since those are the most common values for traders to forecast when a reversal may happen. In our chart, %B is the one represented at #1. I've found useful to add a moving average in order to smooth volatility a bit, and to be able to ask—at any time—if it is going up or down. The moving average calculated with the last 5 %B values is plotted as line #2. Finally I also added a property called Bandwidth, which represents the separation of the upper band from the lower band. It is a measure of the volatility and is plotted at #3.

7. **Bollinger Channels**: This is a non-standard indicator derived from the Bollinger Bands. These types of channels are calculated using the Bollinger Bands moving average. Essentially an upward channel begins when the moving average turns from going down to going up, and the channel finishes when it turns from going up to down. A downward channel starts when the Bollinger Band moving average turns from going up to down, and it finishes when it starts going up again. Upward channels are plotted in green, while downward channels in red. Additional information can be found at the indicator's panel, like the number of periods contained at the channel.

8. **Bollinger Sub-Channels**: If we consider that one Bollinger Channel can have sub-channels with the same direction (up or down) but different slopes, then we get to the concept of Bollinger Sub-Channels. The most important property of a sub-channel is its slope. The possible values are: side, gentle, medium, high and extreme. With this information, a trading bot could easily ask if it is in a sub-channel with a certain slope and for how many periods.

#### Private Layers
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Trading Simulation**: The Trading Simulation layer displays a backtest + fordwardtest (paper trading) of whatever strategies you have created in the system. At sign up, you are provided with an initial set of strategies so that you can be up and running as quickly as possible. By activating the Trading Simulation layer you should be able to see something like this:

||||

|

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
<br/><br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The dashed line represents the duration of the trade at the price of the _take profit_ event. Notice how the _base asset_ is exchanged for Asset B and back to the _base asset_ as the trade closes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
<br/><br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
<br/><br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Simulation Strategies**: The Simulation Strategies layer identifies trigger on and trigger off events, signaling the activation and deactivation of strategies.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
<br/><br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Simulation Trades**: The Simulation Trades layer marks trades with a triangle whose hypotenuse connects the price at the _take position_ event with the _exit_ price. When the trade is profitable, the triangle is green; when the _exit_ happens at a loss, the triangle is red.
