Technical Details — Know Sure Thing (KST)

Section titled “Technical Details — Know Sure Thing (KST)”

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The Know Sure Thing calculation produces a n unbounded oscillator measuring momentum.

Mathematical Derivation

Step 1 — Calculate KST

Section titled “Step 1 — Calculate KST”

Purpose: Derive the Know Sure Thing value.

See the Know Sure Thing formula derivation in technical references.

Where:

  • Period parameters control lookback sensitivity

What This Measures: Momentum strength and direction

Compact Formula Summary

Refer to Know Sure Thing formula for compact notation.

Defaults: LMA Period = 10 bars, ROC Period = 10 bars

Complete Calculation Example

See the Know Sure Thing technical documentation for worked calculation examples.

Key Takeaways from the Example
  1. Period sensitivity: Shorter periods = more signals, longer = smoother
  2. Threshold selection: Adjust based on asset volatility
  3. Signal line: Smoothed version for crossover timing
