Confidence Mean Indicator for ThinkorSwim

[J007RMC]

Calculates standard error and constructs Confidence Intervals for mean
Mobius
V01.01.01.2018
{Simple Confidence system. Trade is taken when close crosses the mean and added to when price is outside the confidence bands and trade is exited once close crosses into the bands.} Really know more of the indicator except that one can changed=number of days. The red labels indicate the Laguerre indicator a part of the Confidence Mean Indicator. and definitely dont understand the thumbs down lol.

@J007RMC Hey man, surprised nobody has responded to this, but this indicator is amazing. I've been looking for something like it to weed out bad trades and show me when things are breaking out. I day trade SPY Options on the 1000 tick chart, and after changing the settings to 34 instead of 21, it seems to really work for me. Really appreciate you posting this and glad I found this diamond in the rough.

@J007RMC I like this indicator. How can I disable the cyan cloud? I cants see other indicators. also, does it repaint?

@J007RMC I like this indicator. How can I disable the cyan cloud? I cants see other indicators. also, does it repaint?

See below; I added a toggle for the cloud and changed the detrendedMean line to red.

Gonna test it today. Thank you so much. Always impressed by the work you produced!
