This indicator is a quick attempt to represent the distance of prices from their averages using the Zscore.
By using the DRAWTEXT graphical function in a loop, you can display a large amount of information at the same time.
The Zscore is calculated dynamically against several moving averages for as many “definition” periods. The variable “definition” is a multiplier.
What the indicator shows us is that the price both to return more quickly to its mean when few Zscore (1 Zscore = 1 point on the graph) exceeds a deviation of 2 standard deviations and that quickly, while many other points form a compact package.
Other observations could be formulated for different types of graphs, time horizons and ways to trade, I leave you the pleasure to test by yourself 🙂

good job! when it comes to the 4 standard deviation the price almost always breaks in
Yes because the mean is also moving, it is not stationnary 🙂
I AM NOT VERY PRACTICAL … IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE SCREENER WHEN AT LEAST A BALL EXCEEDS FROM 4 DEVIATION?
Dear Alfapenna,
I would think the following 3 additions/changes in the code will do; however 4 is an extreme value .
if zscore <= -4 then (CHANGE INSTEAD OF = 4 then ( CHANGE ADDED LINE)
r=0
g=255-(30*i)
drawtext(“.”,barindex,zscore,Dialog,Bold,20) coloured(r,max(g,100),0)
endif
endif (CHANGE ADDED ADDITIONAL ENDIF)
Dear Alfapenna,
I just saw my reply of this morning to you, it is completely mixed up (?)
So I give it another try to answer your question:
however ZFactor of 4 is an extreme value .
if zscore< -4 then //ADJUSTED; was if zscore 4 then //NEW LINE
r=0
g=255-(30*i)
drawtext(“.”,barindex,zscore,Dialog,Bold,20) coloured(r,max(g,100),0)
endif
endif //NEW LINE
Nicolas,
thanks for the code.
“Smooth” does not seem to give any value (smooth=average[period](globalz))
If you can react on this, would be great !
KR Jan
But it should, I’ll test later.
Nicolas, maybe the cause is that the values of / or the smooth line is not visible (??)
Thanks for such a great job… I will try to use it in a trading system.
Really great
Is there a way to create a return value for the points so we can create alerts when some points are higher or lower of a value ? how can we modify the code to do that ?
So many variables to be returned! The indicator is dynamic by its settings, so you can’t know how much variables it would return, that’s why I used dots made with a graphic instruction. Zscore is pretty much the same as a standard deviation, so bollinger bands do already this job for you.
Has anyone found a solution for Sofitech? Would it be possible to draw two lines? An upper line for the maximum points and a lower line for the minimum points. Would that be possible?
Is this indicator for use in a binary sense or is it just a type of visual . If it is to be used as binary/boolean type signal what would your suggestion be ? It seems a little noisey to me , possibly i just dont get it .
Multiple zscore are plotted around many different time horizons means. Purely visual as you cant get a binary signal without any studies of all the information that are plotted by the indicator. As I wrote in the post, I let everyone make their own studies about the concept.
Hello Nicolas, my prt become stuck when i load the indicator, is there any problem with it?
Hm, i dont know exactly why, but I think, that the indicator needs lots of power. I need also lots of time to load it. Maybe your computer has not enaugh power for it?
