KO

What it measures Headline profitability metric. High ROE compounds book value if the business can reinvest at the same return. Beware of buybacks artificially inflating ROE by shrinking the denominator.

Formula ROE = (net_income_ttm / average_common_equity) * 100

For KO Capital is being put to work effectively - sustainable when supported by real economic moats.

What it measures Strips out receivables and inventory, leaving only cash and equivalents over current liabilities. Stress-tests whether the business can meet obligations even if collections seize up.

Formula Cash Ratio = cash_and_equivalents / current_liabilities

For KO Heavy cash backstop - common with profitable cash-rich franchises.

What it measures Direct income from holding the share. Stable dividend yield often signals capital discipline; abnormally high yield can be a warning that the dividend isn't covered by FCF and may be cut.

Formula Dividend Yield = (dividends_per_share_ttm / price) * 100

For KO Real income today - sustainability depends on payout ratio and free cash flow coverage.

What it detects Buys oversold pullbacks within an established uptrend (price above the 200-day SMA). Holds while RSI(2) is below an exit threshold; exits when RSI(2) crosses above 60.

Trigger rule +1 when price is above regime_ma and RSI(2) drops below oversold; held while inside the trade; back to 0 when RSI(2) crosses above exit.

Parameters period=2, oversold=10, exit=60, regime_ma=200

For KO Active pullback-buy in an established uptrend — price bouncing off a 2-period oversold reading.

What it detects Compares price pivots against the MACD histogram (MACD line minus signal line) at those same bars. Bullish divergence: price lower-low, histogram higher-low. Bearish divergence: price higher-high, histogram lower-high.

Trigger rule +1 at right-hand pivot of bullish divergence; -1 at right-hand pivot of bearish divergence; 0 otherwise.

Parameters fast=12, slow=26, signal=9, pivot_window=5

For KO MACD histogram printing higher lows beneath lower lows in price — reversal-up tell.

What it detects When price prints a lower low while RSI prints a higher low at those same bars, momentum is improving even though price is still falling - a classic bullish divergence. The bearish mirror fires when price makes a higher high but RSI prints a lower high.

Trigger rule +1 at the right-hand pivot of a (lower-low price, higher-low RSI) pair; -1 at the right-hand pivot of a (higher-high price, lower-high RSI) pair; 0 otherwise.

Parameters period=14, pivot_window=5, lookback=60

For KO Momentum strengthening even as price prints lower lows — a reversal-up tell.

What it detects Bullish when %K crosses above %D while both lines are below the oversold threshold; bearish when %K crosses below %D while both are above overbought.

Trigger rule +1 on bullish cross in oversold; -1 on bearish cross in overbought; 0 otherwise.

Parameters k=14, d=3, smooth=3, ob=80, os=20

For KO %K crossed up through %D from oversold — short-term buy trigger.

What it detects ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength regardless of direction. Below ~20 historically associates with sideways/choppy markets unfavorable to trend strategies.

Trigger rule +1 while ADX is below the threshold (weak trend); 0 otherwise.

Parameters period=14, weak_threshold=20

For KO ADX below threshold — trend is weak, prefer mean-reversion to trend strategies right now.

What it detects Turtle-style breakout signal: enters long on a close above the highest high of the lookback window, short on a close below the lowest low. Holds the position for a fixed number of bars.

Trigger rule +1 on long entry, held for hold_bars; -1 on short entry, held for hold_bars.

Parameters period=20, hold_bars=20

For KO Active long breakout state — close above the N-day highest high.

What it detects Holds +1 while the fast moving average is above the slow one (bullish bias), -1 when below (bearish bias). Whipsaws in chop; works best when combined with a regime filter.

Trigger rule +1 while fast > slow, -1 while fast < slow.

Parameters fast=5, slow=10, ma_type=ema

For KO Fast MA above slow MA — bullish bias state held.

What it detects The Parabolic SAR plots a stop-and-reverse dot above or below price; when price crosses the SAR, the trend side flips. The signal fires on the flip bar.

Trigger rule +1 on flip from above-price (bearish) to below-price (bullish); -1 on flip the other way.

Parameters accel=0.02, max_accel=0.2

For KO SAR flipped from above to below price — switch to long bias.

What it detects Simplest possible regime filter: long-only when price is above its long-term MA, flat or short-only when below. Often used to gate other signals.

Trigger rule +1 while close > MA, -1 while close < MA.

Parameters ma_period=200

For KO Price above the long-term MA — bullish regime, gate longs on.

What it detects While price is above its 200-day MA (uptrend regime), buy when today's close is the lowest in 7 sessions; exit when today's close is the highest in 7 sessions.

Trigger rule +1 on entry day (new 7-day low above regime); held until exit on new 7-day high; back to 0 on exit.

Parameters lookback=7, regime_ma=200

For KO Active Connors Double-7 pullback in an uptrend — buy the 7-day low, sell the 7-day high.

What it detects Identifies the most recent significant swing high and low, projects standard Fibonacci levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%), and tags bars where price interacts with one of those levels.

Trigger rule Reports the level price is closest to, in price units, when price is within the proximity band.

Parameters swing_lookback=60, levels=[0.236,0.382,0.5,0.618,0.786]

For KO Price interacted with a key Fibonacci level on its way up — likely springboard or resistance to clear.

What it detects When price comes within a small band of a key moving average (typically 50- or 200-period) and reverses without closing through it, the MA is acting as support (uptrend) or resistance (downtrend).

Trigger rule +1 when price prints a low near the MA in an uptrend and closes back above; -1 when price prints a high near the MA in a downtrend and closes back below.

Parameters ma_periods=[50,200], proximity=0.01

For KO Price tagged a key MA and bounced — moving average held as support.

What it detects Finds two or more pivot highs (tops) or lows (bottoms) within a price tolerance and minimum bar separation. Confirmed multi-bottom is bullish; multi-top is bearish.

Trigger rule +1 at confirmation of a multi-bottom (price retests prior low and holds); -1 at confirmation of a multi-top.

Parameters peak_count=2, tolerance=0.02, min_sep=10

For KO Price retested a prior low and held — multi-bottom support confirmed.

What it detects Two consecutive non-overlapping windows where the second window's high is above the first's high AND the second's low is below the first's low (an outside range). Reads as a reversal signal off the prior trend.

Trigger rule +1 if prior trend was down and current outside-range closes higher than it opens; -1 in the symmetric down-reversal case.

Parameters window=10

For KO Outside-range bar after a downtrend closed up — reversal-up reversal pattern.

What it detects Fits a trendline through pivot points and flags decisive closes through the line. Distinguishes a clean break from a wick-test by requiring the close to violate the line.

Trigger rule +1 on close above a downward trendline; -1 on close below an upward trendline.

Parameters lookback=60, min_touches=2

For KO Decisive close above a downward trendline — resistance line gave way.

What it detects Trends backed by declining volume tend to lose conviction. The signal compares the slope of price against the slope of volume over a rolling window.

Trigger rule +1 when price is rising but volume slope is negative (weak rally); -1 when price is falling but volume slope is negative (weak decline / potential reversal).

Parameters trend_window=20

For KO Decline running on falling volume — sellers losing conviction, reversal candidate.
