Kase Easy Entry System (KEES)

KEES is the trade entry core of Kase StatWare®. It takes a range of signals based on swings, momentum crossovers, bar patterns, and a higher bar-length filter, and then condenses them into an easy-to-use system of color-coded dots that reflect directional strength and color-coded “L” for long and “S” for short entry signal triggers.

KEES signal color guide:

• Green “L” — long setup or aggressive entry signal
• Blue dots and “L” — first-class long permission and entry signal
• Cyan dots and “L” — second-class long permission and entry signal
• Orange “S” — short setup or aggressive entry signal
• Magenta dots and “S” — first-class short permission and entry signal
• Red dots and “S” — second-class short permission and entry signal

Kase DevStops

The DevStops are Kase’s proprietary trailing stop system. Unlike percentage-based or fixed-point stops, DevStops evaluate not only average market range but the distribution and variability of that range. Stops are set at points of statistically increasing probability that a reversal against the trend is significant.

Three graduated stop levels provide a framework for scaling out of positions as the trade matures:

• Dev3 — wide stop for trend following
• Dev2 — moderate stop for standard position management
• Dev1 — tight stop used after strong exit or warning signals
• All levels adapt dynamically to current market volatility

KasePO — Kase Peak Oscillator

The KasePO is a first-derivative momentum indicator measuring the rate of change of price. Based on Kase’s serial dependency index, it statistically measures the degree of non-random market behavior and self-optimizes both cycle length and volatility. KasePO is typically used to identify optimal trade exit points using momentum divergence and overbought/oversold signals called PeakOuts. The divergence and PeakOut signals are automatically identified and marked on the chart.

KasePO signal guide:

• Green divergence line — strong exit signal, typically exit 80% and tighten stop to Dev1
• Dashed green divergence line — weak exit signal, tighten stop to Dev1
• Green PeakOut “P” — strong overbought or oversold signal, typically exit 50% and tighten stop to Dev1
• Gray PeakOut “P” — weak overbought or oversold signal, tighten stop to Dev1

KaseCD — Kase Convergence/Divergence

The KaseCD is the second-derivative complement to KasePO, measuring the rate of change of the KasePO itself. This makes the KaseCD a faster-moving momentum oscillator and is more sensitive to market moves. KaseCD is typically used to identify optimal trade exit points using momentum divergence and overbought/oversold signals called KCDpeaks. The divergence and KCDpeak signals are automatically identified and marked on the chart.

KaseCD signal guide:

• Red divergence line — strong exit signal, typically exit 80% and tighten stop to Dev1
• Dashed red divergence line — weak exit signal, tighten stop to Dev1
• Red KCDpeak “K” — strong overbought or oversold signal, typically exit 50% and tighten stop to Dev1
• Gray KCDpeak “K” — weak overbought or oversold signal, tighten stop to Dev1

Kase Permission Stochastic

Computes a synthetic longer bar-length Stochastic that updates on each underlying bar. This indicator enables higher-timeframe trend filtering without waiting for longer bars to complete. PermK and PermD lines are embedded in KEES to classify first and second-class long and short permissions.

Kase Permission Function

Displays the underlying long/short permission of the Kase Permission Stochastic as a color-coded histogram — green when long trades may be taken and dark magenta when short trades are permitted.

Kase Reversal Amounts

Plots the absolute dollar and cent value of each DevStop level — the actual reversal amount required to trigger each stop. Useful for selecting appropriate bar lengths based on individual risk tolerance and position size and in automated trading systems.

Kase Swing

Identifies and plots swing high and low points on the chart. Embedded in nearly every core study. Adjustable sensitivity for varying market conditions. Also used for wave formation and geometric chart pattern analysis.

Kase Candlestick Patterns

Automatically identifies and plots classical and proprietary candlestick reversal patterns on the price chart. Patterns are filtered by the Stochastic so only those forming under overbought or oversold conditions are displayed — eliminating mid-trend noise.

Kase Trend

Uses Kase Reversal Amounts to identify trend direction and strength. Green below price indicates a bullish trend, red above price a bearish trend, with light green and magenta showing weakening conditions, and gray indicating neutral.
