Frequently Asked Questions

ta.falling(source, length) returns true when the current bar’s source is lower than the source values over the prior length bars (skipping na), indicating a strictly falling short-term pattern.

ta.rising requires current to exceed all prior length values; ta.falling requires current to be below all prior length values. Both ignore na in the historical window.

Require ta.falling(close, n) or ta.falling(indicator, n) as a bearish momentum filter before short entries, alongside trend, volatility, and risk controls.
