ATR Mean Reversion

# ATR Mean Reversion Indicator

## Overview
The ATR Mean Reversion Indicator is designed to identify potential reversal points in the market by detecting when price has become overextended from its mean. The indicator uses Average True Range (ATR) and Keltner Channels to determine when price has moved too far from its average, suggesting a possible reversion back to the mean.

## Key Features
- **Keltner Channels**: Uses EMA as a midline with ATR-based upper and lower bands
- **Trend Detection**: Includes trend strength analysis to avoid countertrend trades
- **Reversal Signals**: Identifies potential buy and sell signals based on price action
- **Risk Management**: Includes parameters for position sizing and stop loss calculations

## Default Settings
- **ATR Period**: 5 (Measures market volatility over the last 5 periods)
- **EMA Period**: 50 (Base line for calculating the mean)
- **Keltner Channel Multiplier**: 2.5 (Width of the bands as a multiple of ATR)
- **Trade Fraction**: 0.5 (Percentage of equity to risk per trade)
- **Stop Loss %**: 0.04 (4% stop loss from entry)



## Visual Elements
- **EMA Line**: Blue line showing the mean price
- **Upper Keltner Channel**: Red line showing overextended high zone
- **Lower Keltner Channel**: Green line showing overextended low zone
- **BUY Signal**: Green triangle below the candle
- **SELL Signal**: Red triangle above the candle
- **Info Panel**: Table in the top-right showing current values and market conditions

## Trading Tips
1. **Best Market Conditions**: This strategy works best in ranging markets or during temporary pullbacks in a trend
2. **Avoid**: Using this strategy in strongly trending markets without confirmation
3. **Confirmation**: Consider waiting for additional confirmation like RSI or volume patterns
4. **Stop Loss**: Always place a stop loss, suggested at the ATR multiplier distance from entry
5. **Take Profit**: Consider taking profits when price approaches the mean (EMA line)

## Risk Management
- Use the trade fraction parameter to control position sizing
- Consider reducing position size in highly volatile markets
- The indicator includes built-in alerts that can be set for both BUY and SELL signals

## Customization
You can adjust the parameters to suit different market conditions:
- Increase the ATR Period for less sensitive volatility measurement
- Increase the Keltner Multiplier for fewer but potentially stronger signals
- Adjust the EMA Period based on your trading timeframe (higher for longer-term trades)

## Best Timeframes
The indicator can be used on any timeframe, but typically works well on:
- 1H, 4H charts for short to medium-term trades
- Daily charts for swing trading opportunities

Remember that no indicator is perfect, and the ATR Mean Reversion indicator should be used as part of a complete trading system with proper risk management.
