The closes
The age
The close has been above its 20-bar average for 22 bars; the price has moved +8.16% since the bar before it crossed. By the past runs, it is old.
- Against past runs
- 3 finished runs above the average in these closes lasted a median of 4 bars (shortest 1, longest 8); this one is longer than any of them. Few runs on this side have lasted this long, so by this measure the move is late: a new entry in its direction is buying late.
- The stretch
- The last close, 2,443.60, is 3.10% above the average of 2,370.18.
- All the closes
- The close sat above its average on 67% of the 61 bars that have one, and crossed it 8 times.
- Read it with care
- A trend does not end because it is old: the longest runs make the biggest moves. Use the age to judge how late an entry is and how tight to trail a stop, not to call the top.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Early, or late to the party?
Every trend follower asks the same question before a trade: has the move only begun, or has it already run? This page counts how many bars the close has stayed on one side of its moving average, and sets that against the runs on the same side earlier in your closes. A run longer than most is late; a short one is early.
See the crossing of two averages with the moving average crossover calculator, the trend's strength with the ADX, runs of up and down closes with the close streak calculator, and trail the stop with the trailing stop calculator.
Not advice. Counts on the closes you type; how long past runs lasted does not set how long the next one will.
