What is a good value for AverageMovementPercent?

A good value for AverageMovementPercent is one that does not trigger constantly, but activates reliably during meaningful market pumps or crashes.

The goal is balance:

Not too sensitive (avoids noise)
Not too strict (avoids missing major moves)

The ideal value depends on your trading style, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

📊 Commonly Used Ranges

🔹 0.8% – 1.2% → Early Warning System

Detects moderate pumps and crashes
Suitable for scalping or intraday strategies

Best for:

This range gives you awareness without waiting for extreme moves.

🔹 1.5%+ → Major Volatility Alert

This range is stricter and designed to detect:

Strong breakouts

🎯 How to Choose the Right Value

Ask yourself:

Do I want early signals or only major events?
Am I trading leverage?
Do I want frequent alerts or rare high-confidence alerts?

If you want:

More awareness → choose 0.8%–1.0%
Balanced monitoring → choose 1.1%–1.3%
Only strong events → choose 1.5%+

⚠️ Important Consideration

Volatility changes over time.

During:

Bull markets → movements expand
Bear markets → downside spikes become sharper
Sideways markets → fewer large moves

You may periodically adjust this value depending on overall market conditions.

🚀 Best Practice

Start with:

AverageMovementPercent: 1.1

Observe alerts for 1–2 weeks, then:

Increase if alerts are too frequent.
Decrease if you feel you’re missing meaningful moves.

📌 Summary

Avoids triggering on every minor move
Activates during genuine pumps or crashes
Matches your strategy sensitivity

Common practical ranges:

0.8%–1.2% → Early warning
1.5%+ → Major volatility detection
