The Spearman Rank Corr indicator for MetaTrader 4 was initially implemented from the field of statistics.
In 1904, Charles Spearman was able to design a statistical gauge for the strength of association between two variables, which obviously became the basis of the rank correlation coefficient, and was named after its creator (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient).
The variable that is used in the calculation is the date, not the price, meaning prices are reflected in relation with their appearance during the session under watch, thereby accumulating a link between these two variables.

The SpearmanRankCorr indicator fluctuate above and below the zero signal level.
When the SpearmanRankCorr indicator is positive, it indicates a positive relationship between surging price and date.
Howbeit, if the SpearmanRankCorr indicator is negative, it indicates a dipping price while the date continues to surge (since it is impossible to find declining dates).
This presents an extreme negative relationship. Interpreting the SpearmanRankCorr indicator is similar to those of other oscillators.
