📊 Strategy Indicators Reference

This document provides a comprehensive reference of the technical indicators used by each strategy across different timeframes in Apolo Dex. Indicators help us measure key aspects of market behavior:

  • Trend: Detecting whether price is moving up, down, or sideways.
  • Momentum: Measuring the strength or speed of price movements.
  • Volatility: Estimating how much the price fluctuates in a given period.
  • Volume-weighted price: Understanding where the majority of trading activity is happening.

These indicators are combined in different strategies to suit different market conditions.
