What is "Apply To" ?

The "Apply To" parameter allows you to specify the source of the candle data from which your chosen indicator will be calculated. By default, indicators are calculated as the closing value of the candle ("Close") unless this parameter is modified.

With the "Apply To" parameter, you can calculate indicator values by selecting the candle's highest price value ("High"), lowest price value ("Low"), closing value ("Close"), opening value ("Open") and volume value ("Volume").

For example, for the RSI indicator, when the method for calculating the value on a candle is set as volume, the RSI value will be higher on candles with high volume.

By default, the RSI indicator is calculated with "Close", which means candle closing data. When "Volume" is selected, RSI values are calculated based on the volume data of the candle.
