# 15. Correlation with BTC

The correlation factor is a rolling value. The alert triggers when the specified value is reached, not when the candle closes.

The correlation value depends on the timeframe. On higher timeframes, it is usually higher and more stable. On lower timeframes, it has more noise.

Negative thresholds are allowed. You can use them to find coins that move against Bitcoin, for example: less than −0.5.

For more accurate signals, use correlation together with other factors, such as RSI or price.
