Falling¶

Signals · Comparison

True when the series strictly fell on each of the last N bars.

Falling fires when a series has gone strictly down on each of the last N bars in a row — a clean "this line is consistently dropping" confirmation. It waits for a sustained run of lower values rather than reacting to a single down-tick, so one noisy bar won't trip it.

How it works¶

Each bar it checks that the input decreased on every one of the previous length bar-to-bar steps (each value strictly less than the one before). Only then is the signal True; any flat or up step breaks the run and returns False. It needs at least length prior bars before it can fire. Lookahead-free.

When to use it¶

Use it as a downside confirmation: require an oscillator to be Falling for a few bars before trusting a breakdown, or gate a short so it only fires while momentum is genuinely rolling over. It's the discrete counterpart to a negative Rolling Slope — a simple yes/no on "is this dropping."

Example¶

Confirmed momentum short: wire an RSI into Falling (length = 3), And it with a break of support, and feed that into the Tester — shorts only fire when RSI has fallen three bars straight.

Tips & gotchas¶

Strict — a flat bar breaks the run.
Longer length = stronger but laggier, with fewer signals.
Mirror of Rising; use Rolling Slope for the rate of decline.
