Overview

The "Moving Average Ratio" (MAR) indicator is a versatile tool designed for valuation, mean-reversion, and long-term trend analysis. This indicator provides multiple display modes to cater to different analytical needs, allowing traders and investors to gain deeper insights into the market dynamics.

Features

1. Moving Average Ratio (MAR):

• Calculates the ratio of the chosen source (close, open, ohlc4, hl2 …) to a longer-term moving average of choice (SMA, EMA, HMA, WMA, DEMA)
  
• Useful for identifying overbought or oversold conditions, aiding in mean-reversion strategies and valuation of assets.
  
• For some high beta asset classes, like cryptocurrencies, you might want to use logarithmic scale for the raw MAR, below you can see the visual difference of using Linear and Logarithmic scale on BTC
  

2. MAR Z-Score:

• Computes the Z-Score of the MAR to standardize the ratio over chosen time period, making it easier to identify extreme values relative to the historical mean.
  
• Helps in detecting significant deviations from the mean, which can indicate potential reversal points and buying/selling opportunities
  

3. MAR Trend Analysis:

• Uses a combination of short-term (default 1, raw MAR) and long-term moving averages of the MAR to identify trend changes.
  
• Provides a visual representation of bullish and bearish trends based on moving average crossings.
  
• Using Logarithmic scale can improve the visuals for some asset classes.
  

4. MAR Momentum:

• Measures the momentum of the MAR by calculating the difference over a specified period.
  
• Useful for detecting changes in the market momentum and potential trend reversals.
  

5. MAR Rate of Change (ROC):

• Calculates the rate of change of the MAR to assess the speed and direction of price movements.
  
• Helps in identifying accelerating or decelerating trends.
  

MAR Momentum and Rate of Change are very similar, the only difference is that the Momentum is expressed in units of the MAR change and ROC is expressed as % change of MAR over chosen time period.

Calculation and Plotting

Moving Average Ratio (MAR):

• Calculates the ratio of the price to the selected moving average type and length.
  
• Plots the MAR with a gradient color based on its Z-Score, aiding in visual identification of extreme values.

MAR Trend:

• Plots the MAR along with its short-term and long-term moving averages.
  
• Uses color changes to indicate bullish or bearish trends based on moving average crossings.
