What is SSA Change Point Detection Sell?


This is the sell-side counterpart to SSA Change Point Detection Buy. It monitors the price series for fundamental regime changes — but triggers when the detected shift has downward momentum. When a bullish market starts turning bearish, when volatility shifts from calm to chaotic, when the statistical properties of the price series fundamentally change for the worse — this indicator catches those transitions. Early detection of regime shifts can mean the difference between selling near the top and riding a trend all the way down. This is a sell-only indicator.

How Does It Work?


The bot applies SSA change point detection to price data. When the algorithm identifies a structural break in the price distribution accompanied by downward price momentum, the bot signals Sell. The martingale scoring approach ensures the signal fires on genuine regime changes rather than temporary dips, reducing the risk of selling into a healthy pullback during an ongoing uptrend.
