Monest Value Indicator (MVI)
Description
The Monest Value Indicator (MVI) is a modern oscillator designed to address common issues in traditional oscillators like RSI or MACD. Unlike classical oscillators, the MVI dynamically adjusts to relative price movements and market volatility, providing a transparent and reliable valuation for short-term trading decisions.
This indicator normalizes price data around a consensus line and accounts for market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR). It highlights overbought and oversold conditions, offering a unique perspective for traders.
Key Features
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels : Highlights significant price extremes for better entry and exit signals. Volatility Normalization : Adapts to market conditions, ensuring consistent readings across various assets. Consensus-Based Valuation : Uses a moving average of the midrange price for baseline calculations. No Lag or Stickiness : Reacts promptly to price movements without getting stuck in extreme zones.
How It Works
Consensus Line :
Calculated as a 5-day moving average of the midrange:
Consensus = SMA((High + Low) / 2, 5) .
Offset OHLC Data :
All prices are adjusted relative to the consensus line:
Offset Price = Price - Consensus .
Volatility Normalization :
Adjusted prices are normalized using a 5-day ATR divided by 5:
Normalized Price = Offset Price / (ATR / 5) .
MVI Calculation :
The normalized closing price is plotted as the MVI.
Overbought/Oversold Levels :
Default levels are set at +8 (overbought) and -8 (oversold).
How to Use
Identifying Overbought/Oversold Conditions :
When the MVI crosses above +8 , the asset is overbought, signaling a potential reversal or pullback.
When the MVI drops below -8 , the asset is oversold, indicating a potential bounce or upward move.
Trend Confirmation :
Use the MVI to confirm trends by observing sustained movements above or below zero.
Combine with other trend indicators (e.g., Moving Averages) for robust analysis.
Alerts :
Set alerts for when the MVI crosses overbought or oversold levels to stay informed about potential trading opportunities.
Inputs
ATR Length : Default is 5. Adjust to modify the sensitivity of volatility normalization. Consensus Length : Default is 5. Change to tweak the baseline calculation.
Example
Overbought Signal : MVI exceeds +8 , indicating the asset may reverse from an overvalued position. Oversold Signal : MVI drops below -8 , suggesting the asset may recover from an undervalued state. Flat Market : MVI hovers near zero, indicating price consolidation.
