What is SSA Spike Detection Sell?


This indicator uses Singular Spectrum Analysis to detect unusual price spikes — and specifically to generate sell signals when they appear. Normal price movements follow patterns; spikes are sudden, abnormal jumps that stand out from everything around them. SSA decomposes price data into expected patterns and anomalies, flagging the moments when something unusual happens. When a price spike is detected within your configured decision rounds, the bot treats it as a potential opportunity to sell at elevated prices before a correction sets in. This is a sell-only indicator — it generates sell signals exclusively.

How Does It Work?


The bot applies SSA anomaly detection to price data, identifying points that deviate significantly from the expected pattern. When a spike is detected within the decision round window, the bot signals Sell — capturing the elevated price before a potential pullback. Because this only generates sell signals, it needs to be paired with a buy-capable indicator to give you a complete strategy.

Using It in BitThor


Select ML Spike Detection Sell via Singular Spectrum Analysis from the indicator list. Since this only handles the sell side, pair it with a buy indicator for a complete setup. The natural partner is the SSA Spike Detection Buy indicator — together they form a matched pair where SSA handles both sides of the trade. You can also pair it with any other buy-capable indicator.

Tips for Beginners


  • This is a sell-only indicator. Always pair it with a buy-capable indicator for a complete trading strategy — it won't work on its own.
  • Price spikes often happen during high volatility. This indicator helps you take advantage by selling into those elevated moments.
  • Wider decision round windows catch broader spike patterns; narrower windows are more reactive to sharp, sudden moves.
