Mean Deviation (MnDev)

This function is available on the Add Study window and in the Formula Toolbox.

Mean deviation is the mean of the distribution between the close and the mean of the closes over the number of bars the user enters. For example: the mean deviation returns 1/N times the sum of the absolute value of the close minus the average of the closes over the user selected number of bars.

Example: MnDev(@,10)
