Mean Deviation In A Nutshell
A way to implement this tool is if you’re investing and want to ensure you equity or product is not getting to far from the mean. If you notice the product is increasing and is way past the deviation levels, this could be an indication you may want to look at taking products. This tool could work for intra day trading as well, giving you areas to watch and take action if the product gets too out of line.
Similar to standard deviation, this is a way to gauge how far a data point is from the mean or where is should be speaking in loose terms. The mean deviation is the mean of that data you are analyzing’s absolute deviations around the mean of your data, or the average distance from the mean. So, similar to standard deviation, it is telling you where the data should be and when to be alert that is has gone too far from the average or mean.
