theoretically, a high correlation (above 0.7) between percent change and price signal suggests that the price signal will likely persist in its current direction. for instance, if the price signal is rising and the correlation (red line) between the price signal and percent change is strong, the price is expected to continue rising, triggering a buy signal. conversely, if the correlation is high while the price signal is falling, a sell signal is generated.

note: the correlation (red line) requires at least two ticks to be displayed. the first tick calculates the percent change, and the second tick computes the correlation between price change and price signal.
