CandelaCharts - Mean Reversion Oscillator

The Mean Reversion Oscillator (MRO) is a bounded 0–100 indicator that shows how far the price has deviated from its statistical mean. Normalizing deviations into a consistent scale helps traders spot overbought/oversold conditions, potential mean reversion setups, and momentum shifts around a moving average.
📦 Features
- Bounded scale (0–100) for easy recognition of stretched conditions.
- Customizable MA & StdDev periods for different trading horizons.
- Dynamic coloring: Red = Overbought, Green = Oversold, Blue = Neutral
- Visual aids: Background shading in OB/OS zones + 50 midline.
⚙️ Settings
- MA Length – Period for the moving average baseline.
- StdDev Length – Standard deviation window. Tip: match the MA length for smoother results.
- Overbought Level – Threshold for stretched highs.
- Oversold Level – Threshold for stretched lows.

📒 Usage
The Mean Reversion Oscillator (MRO) is best used as a context tool, not as a standalone buy/sell signal generator. Its primary purpose is to tell you when the price is statistically stretched relative to its average, so you can anticipate a potential return toward the mean.
- Add to chart – Paste the script in TradingView and load it in a separate pane.
- Set MA Length – Use 20–50 for intraday, 100–200 for swing/position trading.
- Match StdDev Length – Keep it close to the MA Length to avoid distortion (e.g., MA 200 → StdDev 200).
- Interpret readings:
>70 (Overbought) – Price stretched high, reversion or slowdown likely.
<30 (Oversold) – Price stretched low, bounce potential.
50 (Midline) – Neutral, momentum shift point. - Use with confluence – Strongest signals occur when MRO extremes align with S/R levels, trend filters, or volume cues.
- Adjust thresholds – 70/30 is balanced; 80/20 gives fewer but stronger signals, 60/40 gives more but weaker ones.
- Stay trend-aware – In strong trends, OB/OS can persist. Always check higher timeframe bias before fading moves.
