Trend-Set Acceleration (15m / 60m) | Metrics Glossary

Definition

Measures whether elevated activity is persisting strongly enough in the 15-minute window to stand out against the broader 60-minute regime.

First compute rolling intensity ratios:

Rolling Intensity Ratio(w) = ((Current Window Volume + Live Volume) / (Historical Mean Volume per Minute × Window Minutes)) × 100

Then compute acceleration:
(15m Rolling Intensity Ratio / 60m Rolling Intensity Ratio) × 100

Units & range

%. 100% means 15m intensity matches the 60m regime.

Higher values indicate that elevated activity is persisting rather than appearing only as a brief 5-minute burst.

Useful for separating short spikes from more sustained participation.

Frequent interpretation traps and misuse patterns to avoid when applying this metric.

Metric

Compares 5-minute activity intensity against the 15-minute regime to detect short-horizon bursts.

Metric

Compares 5-minute intensity against the 60-minute regime to detect broad short-term divergence.

Rolling

Measures the percentage price change that occurred strictly within the selected rolling window.
