Average (ARITHMETICMEAN)

StratCraft indicator page for arithmetic mean aggregation.

Route: /indicators/arithmeticmean/

What It Does

ARITHMETICMEAN computes the simple arithmetic average over the lookback period. It is a foundational utility indicator and often serves as a baseline benchmark.

Formula

Arithmetic Mean = (P1 + P2 + ... + Pn) / n

Parameters

  • period - default 14

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/arithmeticmean.hpp>
auto avg = std::make_unique<nonabt::ARITHMETICMEAN>(data().close(), 14);

Common Usage

  • Use it as a baseline average.
  • Combine it with deviation or dispersion logic.
  • Useful as a simple center line for custom indicators.

Practical Pattern

The arithmetic mean is often used as the first layer of smoothing before more advanced signal logic.
