Mean Reversion Oscillator Usage

The Mean Reversion Oscillator (MRO) is not meant to generate standalone buy or sell signals. Instead, it acts as a contextual guide, helping traders see when price is stretched away from its mean and when a reversion or momentum shift may be more likely.

The MRO is best viewed as a context indicator that highlights when price is statistically stretched from its mean.

1. Add to chart: Paste the script in TradingView and load it in a separate pane.

2. Set MA Length: Use 20–50 for intraday, 100–200 for swing/position trading.

3. Match StdDev Length: Keep it close to the MA Length to avoid distortion (e.g., MA 200 → StdDev 200).

4. Interpret readings:

   • >70 (Overbought): Price stretched high, reversion or slowdown likely.

   • <30 (Oversold): Price stretched low, bounce potential.

   • 50 (Midline): Neutral, momentum shift point.

5. Use with confluence: Strongest signals occur when MRO extremes align with S/R levels, trend filters, or volume cues.

6. Adjust thresholds: Default 70/30 is balanced; 80/20 gives fewer but stronger signals, 60/40 gives more but weaker ones.

7. Stay trend-aware: In strong trends, OB/OS can persist. Always check higher timeframe bias before fading moves.
