Hi there!

Thank you for your interest in the Skew Volatility Bias Indicator.

While the indicator is designed to be highly adaptable and work across various timeframes and asset classes, we provide a general guideline for how to configure the indicator for different trading styles:

1. Scalping (e.g., 1m – 5m Charts)
   Approach: Focus on quick, sharp volatility spikes.

Recommended Settings:

Use shorter lookback periods for the adaptive averages to make the Skew line more responsive.

Filter/Threshold: Look for a higher threshold to avoid noise (e.g., Skew > 1.15 or SkewOsc > 0.2) before entering a position.

Regime: Rely primarily on the Skew Oscillator (log) to confirm momentum before taking a trade.

1. Intraday Trading (e.g., 15m – 1h Charts)
   Approach: Capture daily directional conviction and avoid market noise.

Recommended Settings:

Use the default/standard parameters (e.g., standard lookback periods like 14 or 20).

Filter/Threshold: Skew > 1.0 (bullish) or Skew < 1.0 (bearish) to identify the primary market regime.

Usage: Use the indicator as a trend filter for your cBots: only take long trades when the Skew Oscillator is above 0, and short trades when it is below 0.

1. Swing Trading (e.g., 4h – Daily Charts)
   Approach: Identify major structural shifts and sustained volatility dominance.

Recommended Settings:

Increase the lookback periods slightly to smooth out the data and filter minor retracements.

Filter/Threshold: Skew hovering above or below the 1.0 threshold for an extended period, signaling a clear structural bias.

Usage: Combine with structural price levels (support/resistance) to confirm strong directional trends.

The indicator is designed to be used in conjunction with your existing entry and exit logic, rather than as a standalone automated strategy without a trend filter.
