Mean Deviation Trail | Lyro RS

Introduction:
The Mean Deviation Trail (MDT) is an adaptive trend-following overlay that pairs Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) volatility normalization with a signed, smoothed deviation signal to produce a dynamic, self-adjusting trail. Instead of relying on a fixed-width channel, MDT continuously measures how far — and in which direction — price departs from its mean, then modulates the trail width in real time. The outcome is a trail that tightens during strong directional regimes and widens during low-momentum or choppy phases.

How It Works

Deviation Engine — All calculations are anchored to an EMA of the source. From this anchor, the signed normalized deviation is computed:
Deviation Raw = (Price − EMA) / MAD
This captures both the direction and the relative magnitude of price displacement. A user-selectable smoothing MA (16 types) is then applied to filter noise from the raw signal.
MAD Volatility Normalizer — Mean Absolute Deviation is calculated across a rolling lookback:
MAD = Σ |Price − EMA| / Length
Unlike standard deviation, MAD is not inflated by squared error terms, making it more resistant to outlier spikes and producing a smoother volatility anchor.
Adaptive Trail Width — The smoothed deviation signal is scaled against its 80-bar peak to produce sigNorm (a value between 0 and 1). This drives the multiplier between two user-defined extremes:
- Strong deviation → multiplier approaches the Tight value → trail hugs price.
- Weak deviation → multiplier approaches the Wide value → trail drifts away.
Multiplier = Wide − sigNorm × (Wide − Tight)
Bandwidth = MAD × Multiplier
Trail & Outer Band — The trail sits below price in uptrends and above price in downtrends, offset from the EMA by the adaptive bandwidth. An optional outer band plots at half-bandwidth on the opposite side, useful as a soft confirmation level.
Trend State — Trend flips when the smoothed deviation crosses zero. Each flip prints a Long or Short label and resets the trail on the opposite side of price.

Key Features

16 Smoothing MA Types — SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, HMA, LSMA, SMMA, ALMA, ZLSMA, FRAMA, KAMA, JMA, T3.
Adaptive Trail Width — Tight in high-deviation regimes, wide when momentum decays.
Optional Outer Band — A half-width band on the opposite side for additional context.
Gradient & Trend Color Modes — Gradient scales color intensity with deviation strength; Trend applies flat directional coloring.
Colored Candles & Bar Color — Full chart integration with signal-aware candle coloring.
Long / Short Signal Labels — Printed at trend crossovers with 𝓛𝓸𝓷𝓰 / 𝓢𝓱𝓸𝓻𝓽 labels.
Color Palettes — Classic, Mystic, Accented, Royal, or fully custom.
Status Table — Displays live Trend direction and Strength (Weak / Moderate / Strong).
Alerts — Confirmed Bullish and Bearish alert conditions included.

Signal Interpretation

A Long signal (𝓛𝓸𝓷𝓰 label, below bar) fires when the smoothed deviation crosses above zero — price is pulling away from the mean to the upside and the trail flips below price.
A Short signal (𝓢𝓱𝓸𝓻𝓽 label, above bar) fires when the smoothed deviation crosses below zero — price is pulling away from the mean to the downside and the trail flips above price.
Strength = Strong indicates the deviation signal is near its recent peak — trend is mature and the trail is tight. Weak indicates a fading or compressing regime — the trail loosens, and continuation should be treated with more caution.
