In If / Else, Filter, and Scale nodes, select an indicator and comparison:

  • RSI(14) < 30 - oversold condition
  • SMA(20) > SMA(50) - short-term above long-term trend
  • Filter top 3 by cumulative_return period 20 - momentum basket

Conditions can reference specific tickers when comparing across assets in a filter pool.
