Alpha Trading - Deviation Log Pro

Here at Alpha Trading we love our indicators built on returns. In our view, the only way to play divergences in Trading is divergences between Returns based oscillators and Price.

The Alpha Trading Deviation Log Pro displays a mean of log returns, with returns and price both weighted using our proprietary root mean square (RMS) Z-Score.

We also show standard error and confidence intervals.

Within the indicator settings, you can apply alerts to the RMS Z Score, as well as an option to turn on triangle and square shapes to assist with showing potential buy/sell and get out of trade signals.

Things to Understand First

Standard Error

The term "standard error" is used to refer to the standard deviation of various sample statistics, such as the mean or median. For example, the "standard error of the mean" refers to the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means taken from a population. The smaller the standard error, the more representative the sample will be of the overall population.

The relationship between the standard error and the standard deviation is such that, for a given sample size, the standard error equals the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. The standard error is also inversely proportional to the sample size; the larger the sample size, the smaller the standard error because the statistic will approach the actual value.

The standard error is considered part of inferential statistics. It represents the standard deviation of the mean within a dataset. This serves as a measure of variation for random variables, providing a measurement for the spread. The smaller the spread, the more accurate the dataset.

Confidence Interval

A confidence interval is a range of values where an unknown population parameter is expected to lie most of the time, if you were to repeat your study with new random samples.

With a 95% confidence level, 95% of all sample means will be expected to lie within a confidence interval of ± 1.96 standard errors of the sample mean.
