RAVI Multicurrency

Description

A universal colored multicurrency/multi-symbol indicator RAVI. Was proposed by T. Chand as a trend indicator. RAVI means Range Action Verification Index.

The indicator may be used with any broker, irrespective of the name of the financial instrument since it is necessary to manually enter the name as an input parameter. If you enter a non-existent or incorrect name of a financial instrument, you will receive an error message that this financial instrument is unknown (does not exist).

The indicator is constructed with the period of moving averages 7 to 65 (7/65) and has reference lines recommended by T.Chand: +/- 0.3 and +/-1.0. When the market is bullish, intersection of these lines with the indicator line is colored blue, for the bearish market - red. This determines the direction of the trend.
