MBFX Timing Oscillator for Measuring Price Deviation from a Mean

Summary

The document describes MBFX Timing, an oscillator associated with the Mostafa Belkhayate system and compared to a stochastic. Its stated purpose is to express price movement around a dynamic mean and help identify possible mean reversion using a center-of-gravity interpretation. The provided indicator calculation derives a midpoint from recent high-low averages, scales deviations using recent trading ranges, and plots a normalized measure based on close or averaged high, low, and close values.

Reference threshold lines mark potential buy and sell regions, with settings shown for inner and outer levels. The text says the indicator was translated from Pine Script for ProRealTime, but supplies no backtest, market examples, parameter study, or evidence that threshold crossings predict reversals. It therefore explains an indicator construction and intended use, while leaving signal validation, market selection, and risk controls to the user.

Key ideas

• MBFX Timing measures price displacement from a recent midpoint using a range-based scale.
• The oscillator can use normalized close values or an average derived from high, low, and close.
• The described interpretation uses a center-of-gravity concept to seek possible mean reversion.
• Reference bands identify potential buy and sell zones, but their predictive value is not tested in the document.
