Using Standard Deviation to Mark XCCX Trend Strength

Article Cryptohopper blog

Summary

The document describes an XCCX indicator variant that adds a visual indication of trend strength. It calculates the standard deviation of the XCCX indicator and compares that value with a configurable threshold. When the deviation exceeds the threshold, a colored dot is placed on the moving average, with the dot color representing the current trend direction.

The description identifies a smoothing library dependency and refers to a separate explanation of its averaging methods, but it does not define the XCCX calculation, specify how the trend direction is determined, or provide entry and exit rules. No chart evidence, performance testing, or parameter sensitivity analysis is included, so the indicator should be understood as a visualization concept rather than a demonstrated standalone trading system.

Key ideas

  • The indicator compares XCCX standard deviation with a user-set threshold.
  • A threshold crossing adds a colored marker to the moving average.
  • Marker color represents the current trend direction.
  • The description provides no trading rules or evidence of profitability.
