Disparity index
BNF (Takashi Kotegawa) · 25-day disparity, counter-trend
What it measures
Where price sits as a percentage of its 25-day moving average. A **counter-trend** indicator, built on the premise that price stretched too far from its average eventually comes back.
How TickTurn reads it
At 110 or above (more than 10% over the average) we treat it as stretched and count it **bearish**; at 90 or below, **bullish**. In between, above 101.5 counts bullish and below 98.5 counts bearish.
That judgement is made on closed daily bars only; a bar still in progress is left out, because including it makes the same symbol change its answer within the day. On the result screen this indicator holds one vote out of 21.
It is not an answer on its own
If one indicator could call tomorrow, everyone would use only that one. TickTurn asks 21 of them together not because any single one is trusted, but to show plainly where they disagree. Even the combined score, measured against the right baseline, came out only a shade better than chance — the scoring is written up in how we tested.
