Are you tired of manually analyzing trading data to find patterns that work? The Ratio Rates worker in ApudFlow automates the discovery of profitable trading patterns, helping you identify which market conditions consistently lead to successful trades.

What Makes Ratio Rates Powerful?​

Ratio Rates analyzes your historical trading data to find similar patterns and calculates their success rates automatically. Instead of guessing which indicators matter most, let Ratio Rates test different combinations and show you the winning formulas.

Key Benefits:

  • Automated Pattern Discovery: Tests all possible combinations of your selected indicators
  • Success Rate Calculation: Shows exactly what percentage of similar trades were profitable
  • Risk Assessment: Helps you understand the reliability of different market conditions
  • Strategy Optimization: Identifies the most effective indicator combinations for your trading

How It Works in Your Workflow​

Ratio Rates is part of ApudFlow's visual workflow system. You can easily connect it with other workers to create powerful trading analysis pipelines.

Quick Setup Example: Market Data Analysis​

  1. Fetch Historical Data: Start with a data connector like Twelve Data or Polygon.io to get market data
  2. Filter Relevant Trades: Use the Sort & Filter worker to focus on specific time periods or conditions
  3. Apply Ratio Rates: Analyze patterns and calculate success rates
  4. Display Results: Show the findings on your dashboard with widgets

Step-by-Step Workflow Creation​

1. Access the Workflow Editor​

Go to the Workflows section in your ApudFlow dashboard. Click Create New Workflow to start building your analysis pipeline.

2. Add Data Source​

From the left panel, drag a Twelve Data or Polygon.io worker onto the canvas. Configure it to fetch historical price data for your chosen asset.

Pro Tip: Use the visual interface to select your symbol, date range, and data type - no coding required!

3. Prepare Your Trading Data​

Connect a Sort & Filter worker to clean and prepare your data. You might want to:

  • Filter for specific market conditions
  • Select relevant columns (price, volume, indicators)
  • Focus on particular time frames

4. Add Ratio Rates Analysis​

Drag the Ratio Rates worker onto your canvas and connect it to your filtered data.

Configuration Options:

  • Match Columns: Select which data columns to analyze for patterns (e.g., price change, volume, technical indicators)
  • Always Include: Choose columns that must be part of every pattern analysis
  • Profit Column: Specify which column contains your profit/loss data
  • Similarity Threshold: Set how closely patterns must match (default 80%)

5. View and Act on Results​

The Ratio Rates worker adds new columns to your data:

  • RR_BEST: Success rate of the best-performing pattern
  • total_profit_best: Total profit from similar trades
  • similar_trades: Number of historical matches found
  • best_columns: The winning indicator combination

Real-World Use Cases​

Trading Strategy Validation​

Connect Ratio Rates to your backtesting data to see which entry signals actually work. Identify the most reliable combinations of indicators for your strategy.

Risk Management​

Before entering a trade, use Ratio Rates to check historical success rates for similar market conditions. Make informed decisions based on data, not intuition.

Pattern Discovery​

Let the algorithm find patterns you might have missed. Ratio Rates tests combinations you may not have considered, potentially uncovering new profitable setups.

Performance Optimization​

Compare different indicator sets to find the most effective combinations. Focus your analysis on what actually moves the needle.

Combine with Other Workers​

Ratio Rates works beautifully with the broader ApudFlow ecosystem:

  • Data Connectors: Twelve Data, Polygon.io, FRED for economic data
  • Processing: Sort & Filter, Aggregate for data preparation
  • AI Integration: AI Chat for interpreting results, AI Summarizer for insights
  • Storage: MongoDB, Redis for saving analysis results
  • Notifications: Telegram Notify for alerts on high-probability setups

Getting Started​

  1. Create a new workflow in the Workflows section
  2. Add your data source (market data connector)
  3. Connect Ratio Rates and configure your analysis parameters
  4. Run the workflow to see pattern analysis results
  5. Add to dashboard as a widget for ongoing monitoring

Advanced Tips​

  • Start Simple: Begin with 2-3 key indicators to avoid analysis paralysis
  • Adjust Similarity: Lower thresholds find more matches but may be less precise
  • Combine Results: Use multiple Ratio Rates workers with different configurations
  • Monitor Performance: Set up recurring workflows to track changing market dynamics

Ratio Rates transforms complex pattern analysis into an automated, visual process. Stop guessing and start discovering what actually works in your trading approach.
