It is a foundational utility indicator and often serves as a baseline benchmark.\n\n## Formula\n\n`Arithmetic Mean = (P1 + P2 + ... + Pn) \u002F n`\n\n## Parameters\n\n- `period` - default `14`\n\n## C++23 API\n\n```cpp\n#include \u003Cnonabt\u002Findicators\u002Farithmeticmean.hpp>\nauto avg = std::make_unique\u003Cnonabt::ARITHMETICMEAN>(data().close(), 14);\n```\n\n## Common Usage\n\n- Use it as a baseline average.\n- Combine it with deviation or dispersion logic.\n- Useful as a simple center line for custom indicators.\n\n## Practical Pattern\n\nThe arithmetic mean is often used as the first layer of smoothing before more advanced signal logic.\n"]
