Value Chart Normalization for Short-Term Overbought and Oversold Reversals
Summary
The indicator rescales price candles using recent summed highs and lows, then plots them against fixed overbought and oversold thresholds. Its purpose is to flag short-term conditions where price may revert toward its mean. Candle color marks whether the normalized close is above or below the open.
A buy arrow appears when the normalized low crosses below the oversold threshold and the close rebounds above a nearby level. A sell arrow uses the reverse condition at the overbought boundary. The document provides implementation details for ProRealTime, but offers no backtest, performance evidence, or guidance on instrument or timeframe selection. It describes the approach as used in binary-options strategies and cautions implicitly through its narrow signal logic: threshold rejections may not predict reversals reliably, especially in persistent trends.
Key ideas
- Recent high and low sums define a dynamic axis and scale for normalized candles.
- The indicator treats threshold excursions followed by a close back inside as potential reversal entries.
- Up and down arrows mark the oversold and overbought rejection conditions, respectively.
- The document gives code but no empirical evidence that the signals are profitable.
