Price vs 200 EMA Indicator

hace 3 díasPurpose:
The Price vs. 200 MA (EMA) Indicator measures the deviation of the current price from its 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Instead of merely plotting the raw difference, the indicator calculates a standardized difference (similar to a z-score), which quantifies the deviation in terms of standard deviations over time. This helps traders understand how extreme the price is relative to its long-term average and its typical volatility.

Use Cases:

Trend Analysis:

Traders can use the standardized difference to assess how extreme the current price is relative to its long-term trend (200 EMA) while normalizing for volatility.
When the z-score approaches extreme levels (e.g., above 2 or below -2), it may indicate that the asset is overextended in either direction.

Mean Reversion Strategy:

Since the indicator identifies when the price deviates far from the 200 EMA (in terms of standard deviations), traders can use it to time mean-reversion trades, buying when the price is below -2 (oversold) and selling when it’s above +2 (overbought).

Trend Continuation or Exhaustion:

If the price continues to stay above +2 for extended periods, it could indicate a strong trend, whereas a reversion toward the EMA after reaching +2 or -2 could signal trend exhaustion or reversal.

Summary:
The Price vs. 200 MA (EMA) Indicator calculates the standardized difference (z-score) between the price and its 200-period EMA, giving traders a normalized measure of how far the price is from its long-term average, relative to typical price volatility. The color-coded plot provides a clear visual representation of potential overbought/oversold conditions and highlights when the price has deviated significantly from the 200 EMA in either direction.
