+# Autocorrelation Pro (Indicator)
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+**Autocorrelation Pro** measures the "Serial Dependence" of market returns. It answers the question: *"Does yesterday's price move predict today's price move?"*
+
+Unlike trend indicators that follow price levels, this proprietary statistical tool analyzes the relationship between the *Current Return* ($R_t$) and the *Previous Return* ($R_{t-1}$). It is a powerful filter for distinguishing between Momentum Regimes and Mean Reversion Regimes.
+
+## 2. Methodology
+
+The indicator calculates the **Lag-1 Pearson Correlation Coefficient** over a rolling window.
+
+### The Formula
+
+$$\rho_1 = \frac{\text{Cov}(R_t, R_{t-1})}{\sigma_{R_t} \sigma_{R_{t-1}}}$$
+
+* **Positive Correlation ($\rho > 0$):** **Momentum Effect.** A positive return is likely followed by another positive return. "Winners keep winning."
+* **Negative Correlation ($\rho < 0$):** **Reversion Effect.** A positive return is likely followed by a negative return (pullback). The market is "choppy" or "elastic".
+* **Zero Correlation ($\rho \approx 0$):** **Random Walk.** The market has no memory; price changes are independent.
+
+*Note: The calculation uses Logarithmic Returns ($\ln(P_t/P_{t-1})$) for statistical accuracy.*
+
+## 3. Visualization & Interpretation
+
+The indicator displays a colored Histogram oscillating between -1.0 and +1.0.
+
+* **Green Bars (> 0.1):** **Trend Mode.** The market is exhibiting serial persistence. This is the optimal environment for:
+  * Breakout strategies.
+  * Moving Average crossovers.
+  * Adding to winning positions.
+* **Red Bars (< -0.1):** **Mean Reversion Mode.** The market is oscillating. Prices are rejecting new highs/lows. This is the optimal environment for:
+  * Buying Support / Selling Resistance (Range Trading).
+  * Fading breakouts (False Breakouts are common).
+  * Bollinger Band / RSI strategies.
+* **Gray Bars (-0.1 to 0.1):** **Random Noise.** No clear statistical edge.
+
+## 4. Parameters
+
+* `InpPeriod`: The lookback window for the correlation calculation (Default: `20`).
+  * *Shorter Period (e.g., 10):* Highly reactive, good for scalping.
+  * *Longer Period (e.g., 50):* Institutional regime filter.
+* `InpThreshold`: The significance level for coloring (Default: `0.1`).
+* `InpPrice`: The price source to analyze (Default: `PRICE_CLOSE`).
+
+## 5. Strategic Usage
+
+1. **Trend Filter:** Before entering a trend trade, check the Autocorrelation. If it is **Red (Negative)**, the probability of a sustained trend run is statistically low, even if other indicators say "Buy". Wait for it to turn Green.
+2. **Volatile Breakouts:** If volatility is high but Autocorrelation is **Red**, expect a "V-Top" or "V-Bottom" reversal rather than a clean trend.
+3. **Regime Change:** The transition from Red to Green often marks the moment a consolidation turns into a breakout.
