Overview

UO uses a base period that auto-generates 3 windows (1x, 2x, 4x).

UO Period

What It Controls: Base period — creates 1x, 2x, 4x lookback windows.

Default: 7 bars

How It Works:

• Lower values (5–10): More responsive, more signals
• Standard values (11–16): Balanced
• Higher values (17–25): Smoother, fewer signals

What Happens at Extremes

Note

Parameter Optimization Tip: Start with standard settings and use Reversion’s backtester to measure signal quality. Optimize per asset and timeframe — what works for BTC daily may not work for ETH 4H. Check the indicator usefulness score in algo metrics to verify UO is contributing to your strategy.
