ZenAlgo - Mars

Mars is an RSI-based momentum oscillator built around a main moving average, its signal line, and multi-timeframe context. It helps identify momentum shifts and distinguish a warning from a fully aligned strong signal.

How to read it

Start with the main MA versus the signal MA. When the main line crosses above the signal, momentum is improving; a cross below means it is weakening. The histogram shows the distance between them, making acceleration and deceleration easier to see.

Next, inspect the multi-timeframe table. A signal that agrees with the higher-timeframe trend is usually more useful than the same symbol appearing against it.

Lines, symbols, and tables

Orange triangleBullish or bearish warning
Cross triangleMA cross supported by a rising or falling histogram

The timeframe table shows RSI, MA, and trend for each configured timeframe. The signal table summarizes trend bias, time spent above 70 or 50, below 50 or 30, and the current MA trend.

Alerts

AlertMeaning
MA > SIGNALMain MA crosses above the signal
MA < SIGNALMain MA crosses below the signal
Strong Bull Signal / Strong Bear SignalStrong directional alignment
Bullish Warning / Bearish WarningEarly warning that momentum may be changing

Cross alerts are early and frequent. Strong signals are more selective. Warning alerts are best used to review an existing position or prepare for confirmation, not as automatic reversal entries.
