    Ways of testing Mean Reversion

    You don't need "fancy" tools to make mean reversion work, as some of the posts/threads links suggests. What you do need, is a sideways market that extends itself to confluence. Crazy how people complicate this business so much. Sometimes the brilliance can simply be found in simplicity.

    Only thing obvious is that this thread is huge entertainment, I come back over the course of time to entertain myself with all kinds of responses; ambiguous, wise, ridiculous, irrelevant. Good job people :)

    Basic SMA of indicator question
