Range Action Verification Index

The Range Action Verification Index or RAVI as it is commonly known is a trend detection indicator. When RAVI is greater than 1% for longs and -1% for shorts (FX setting), the currency is in a trend. The standard MA settings are 7 and 65 days for use on the daily chart, which are the cycles of 7 days and 3 months. For trading the hourly charts the moving averages should be set to 24 and 120 with a threshold of 3%. RAVI also keeps you out of a trend less market, so if the RAVI does not break above or below the set threshold, the market is trend less.
