Description

Chande's Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) indicator was developed by Tushar Chande. It's used to identify whether a market is trending. The RAVI indicator is calculated using two moving averages, fast and slow. The first one is a short moving average with a lookback period of 7 bars. The second one is a long moving average with a lookback period of 65 bars. The indicator returns a percentage value. Above a certain threshold, the market is considered trending.
