Ravi [GM version]
RAVI Indicator Description :
Rapid Adaptive Variance Indicator (RAVI) is published by Tushar Chande in 1997. Tushar is the author of the popular trading book The New Technical Trader: Boost Your Profit by Plugging into the Latest Indicators (Wiley Finance). Like ADX indicator, the RAVI indicator differentiates between a trending market and a trading market. As a result of this, a rising RAVI shows the start of a trend or a rise in trend intensity, but maybe not the trend way. Although, a falling RAVI shows the finish of a trend or a decrease in trend intensity, but maybe not the trend way itself. This indicator often reacts more quickly and exhibits a far more pronounced curve than the ADX.
Interpretation :
Ravi indicator consists of histogram bars that are shown in three colors likes green, grey, and red. These different colors have different meanings. Green color indicates bullish market. Grey color bars indicate reversal warnings and the red bars indicate bearish market. It is important that trader should watch for the general direction of the market and trade accordingly. In this chart, every green bar formation on the indicator doesn’t necessarily mean buying signal which is down trending market should be neglected and formations of red bars in an up trending market don’t mean sell. Overall trend of the market cannot be ignored.
Features added by GM:
- multiple MA(smoothing) modes to choose from
- visual styles - Line, Hist, Line+Hist
- multiple adjustable levels to define ranges, strength, overbought/oversold
- moving average of signal built in for MA crossover signals
