AetherEdge - Bayesian Changepoint Shift
🖊️ Overview
AE-SHIFT detects trend reversals as a probability using Bayesian Online Changepoint Detection (BOCPD, Adams & MacKay 2007). Rather than "did a moving average cross?", it asks "what is the probability that the current price regime just ended?" — computing a full posterior distribution over how long the current trend has lasted (run-length). An adaptive layer learns the hazard (reversal frequency) online from the spacing between changepoints, auto-adapting to each instrument's rhythm.
🔶 Key Features
Faithful BOCPD: sequential Bayesian update of the run-length posterior
Gaussian predictive likelihood + Welford online statistics: probabilistic evaluation of each regime hypothesis
Adaptive hazard learning: auto-estimates expected run-length λ from changepoint intervals
Quantifies changepoint probability 0-100%: clear reversal signal
Multi-layer glow rendering: luminous vertical lines at changepoints
Run-length distribution mini-heatmap: visualizes the distribution shape in the HUD
Probability-linked background pulse and segment trend line
BUY/SELL markers + per-event alerts
🧠 Technical Architecture
This implements the core BOCPD algorithm. Each bar maintains P(run-length = r | data) for r = 0..Rmax, with each hypothesis carrying Welford online statistics (mean/variance) of returns inside the segment. For each new observation, a Gaussian predictive likelihood π(x|r) is computed, weighted by the hazard function H = 1/λ, propagated forward (growth: r→r+1), with changepoint mass collapsed to r=0 and normalized. P(r=0) is the changepoint probability. Observations are ATR-normalized returns for scale stability. Adaptive hazard re-estimates λ from a moving average of detected changepoint intervals, dynamically adjusting the hazard. Signals fire when changepoint probability exceeds threshold + peaks + new segment direction. State updates occur on confirmed bars only to avoid repainting.
⚙️ Recommended Settings & Tuning Guide
Expected Run Length (λ) 50 is a starting point — larger for rare-reversal instruments and higher timeframes, smaller for frequently-flipping ones. Adaptive Hazard Learning ON is recommended to auto-learn the instrument's rhythm. Max Run Length Tracked 60 is a compute trade-off; raise to track longer regimes at higher cost. Changepoint Probability Threshold 0.25 baseline; 0.15 more sensitive, 0.4 stricter. Prior Variance / Observation Noise Variance tune the predictive distribution; raise Observation Noise for noisy instruments. Direction Confirmation 3 sets reversal-direction sensitivity.
💡 How to Use in Practice
Apply to chart and changepoints print luminous vertical lines with BUY/SELL labels. The glowing sub-band below price shows changepoint probability in real time — the hotter it glows, the nearer a reversal. The HUD's RUN-LENGTH DIST section is most important: high r=0 (reset) probability means a reversal is imminent, while dense r=21+ means a stable trend continues — read market state from the distribution shape. A sudden drop in expected run-length is a reversal precursor. The adaptive λ value tells you how many bars, on average, this instrument runs between reversals. Combining with other trend indicators and entering only when changepoint probability is high is effective.
⚠️ Important Notes
This is a truncated approximation of BOCPD (run-length truncated at Max) using a Gaussian predictive likelihood (a simplification of the full Student-t conjugate). The adaptive hazard is a heuristic estimate. It is classical sequential Bayesian inference — not deep Bayesian methods or machine learning — but the core BOCPD recursion is faithful to the original paper. Changepoint probability indicates the "possibility" of a reversal, not a certain prediction. Estimates become unstable in extreme volatility or with little initial data. Compute scales with the run-length limit; lower Max Run Length Tracked if it's heavy.
