log scale (cumulative)
calculates the running sum of log returns, creating a 'growth curve' from zero. enables roi comparison between assets, starting from a common baseline.
log returns (difference)
measures the difference in natural logs of current and previous prices, indicating price change momentum. spikes in log returns signify rapid relative momentum, regardless of absolute price.
log volatility (deviation)
determines standard deviation of log returns over a set period, identifying market regimes. a volatility of 0.02 suggests ~2% movement per bar. low log volatility may predict breakouts, while extreme spikes signal market stress.
