Mean Absolute Error | Lyro RS

Mean Absolute Error | Lyro RS


Overview
This indicator is designed to evaluate price dynamics through the framework of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) while combining multiple modular techniques for adaptive market analysis. Its construction provides traders with a way to assess deviation from moving averages and identify potential shifts in valuation, momentum, and structural divergences. By integrating several unique analytical modes into a single tool, it offers flexible perspectives on price behavior without being tied to one rigid methodology.



Originality
The core concept behind this tool is the calculation of MAE relative to a chosen moving average benchmark. From this base, the script develops four distinct operational modes: Bollinger Bands, For Loop, VTrend, and StochTrend. Each module provides a different angle of interpretation. The Bollinger Bands mode replaces standard deviation with MAE-based envelopes. The For Loop mode interprets directional bias across variable lookback windows. The VTrend mode applies z-scored MAE to classify valuation and trend states. The StochTrend mode adapts stochastic oscillation techniques to MAE-based data, including divergence detection. These modules are combined with visual cues, background conditions, tables, and alert functionality to deliver structured yet versatile signals.

In terms of originality, this script departs from conventional volatility and momentum indicators by using MAE as the central metric instead of variance-based or raw-price oscillators. The modular design allows users to switch between methodologies without loading separate tools, unifying several approaches into a coherent framework. The integration of valuation thresholds, custom divergence recognition, and configurable visualization tables further extends its usefulness in practical trading situations while maintaining flexibility for different analytical preferences.

Key Features
The indicator includes a wide array of inputs for customization. Users can select the source price for calculations and choose a preferred signal mode from Bollinger Bands, For Loop, VTrend, or StochTrend. Each module has dedicated settings:

• In Bollinger Bands, traders can select the moving average type, define lookback length, and adjust the multiplier that scales the MAE-based bands.
  
  
• In For Loop, users configure the moving average type, loop length, and the range of indices for iteration, as well as long and short thresholds that define directional bias.
  
  
• In VTrend, the sensitivity parameter controls the lookback for z-score calculations, while overvalued and undervalued thresholds establish valuation boundaries.
  
  
• In StochTrend, users can choose the moving average type, stochastic length, and smoothing periods for %K and %D, with signals generated through crossovers and valuation zones.
  In addition, the script provides options for table overlays, table positioning, and table sizing, allowing traders to monitor module states in a consolidated display. Color palettes can be customized through predefined schemes or user-defined settings, ensuring clarity in chart visualization.
  

Summary
In summary, this indicator combines MAE-based analytics with four modular approaches—volatility envelopes, iterative loop strength, z-scored valuation trends, and stochastic adaptations. Its design emphasizes flexibility, visualization, and clear state reporting through color, overlays, and tables. This makes it a practical framework for traders seeking to evaluate markets from multiple perspectives using a single unified tool.
