Z-Score-Asymmetrik User Manual

Introduction

The Z-Score Indicator is a powerful tool used in technical analysis to measure how far a data point is from the mean value of a dataset, measured in terms of standard deviations. This indicator helps traders identify potential overbought or oversold conditions in the market.

This user manual provides a comprehensive guide on how to use the Z-Score Indicator in TradingView.

0. Quickstart

- Set the thresholds based on your asset (number of standard deviations that you consider being extreme for this asset / timeframe).

- Red background indicates a possible overbought situation, green background an oversold one.

- The color and direction of the Z-Score Line acts as a confirmation of the trend reversal.

1. Indicator Overview

The Z-Score Indicator, also known as the Z-Score Oscillator, is designed to display the Z-Score of a selected financial instrument on your TradingView chart. The Z-Score measures how many standard deviations an asset's price is from its mean (average) price over a specified period.

The indicator consists of the following components:
- Z-Score Line: This line represents the Z-Score value and is displayed on the indicator panel.
- Background Color: The background color of the indicator panel changes based on user-defined thresholds.

2. Inputs

The indicator provides several customizable inputs to tailor it to your specific trading preferences:

- Number of Periods: This input allows you to define the number of periods over which the Z-Score will be calculated. A longer period will provide a smoother Z-Score line but may be less responsive to recent price changes.

- Z-Score Low Threshold: Sets the lower threshold value for the Z-Score. When the Z-Score crosses below this threshold, the background color of the indicator panel changes accordingly.

- Z-Score High Threshold: Sets the upper threshold value for the Z-Score. When the Z-Score crosses above this threshold, the background color of the indicator panel changes accordingly.

3. How to Use the Indicator

Here are the steps to use the Z-Score Indicator:

- Adjust Parameters: Modify the indicator's inputs as needed. You can change the number of periods for the Z-Score calculation and set your desired low and high thresholds.

- Interpret the Indicator: Observe the Z-Score line on the indicator panel. It fluctuates above and below zero. Pay attention to the background color changes when the Z-Score crosses your specified thresholds.

4. Interpreting the Indicator

- Z-Score Line: The Z-Score line represents the current Z-Score value. When it is above zero, it suggests that the asset's price is above the mean, indicating potential overvaluation. When below zero, it suggests undervaluation.

- Background Color: The background color of the indicator panel changes based on the Z-Score's position relative to the specified thresholds. Green indicates the Z-Score is below the low threshold (potential undervaluation), while red indicates it is above the high threshold (potential overvaluation).

- Z-Score Line Color: The color of the Z-Score line shows that the Z-Score is trending up compared to its moving average. This can be used as a validation of the background color.

5. Customization Options

You can customize the Z-Score Indicator in the following ways:

- Adjust Inputs: Modify the number of periods and the Z-Score thresholds.

- Change Line and Background Colors: You can customize the colors of the Z-Score line and background by editing the indicator's script.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using the Z-Score Indicator, make sure to check the following:

- Ensure that the indicator is applied correctly to your chart.
- Verify that the indicator's inputs match your intended settings.
