Lesson 10: TOTAL AVG

5 min · DYOR Education

AVG TOTAL.
This indicator helps us assess, on a global level, the potential further price movement, a possible upcoming trend reversal and its direction, by comparing potential pressure on the price with potential demand on the market. 

Measurement depth: 1.5-60%. Limit order analysis.

The indicator calculates an individual delta separately for each coin from the Binance spot market (around 300+ coins ), at all depths. 
Then all deltas are summed up and divided by their count; the resulting value is called AVG.
As a result we get a value reflecting the average ratio of supply and demand across the whole market.

Example:
BTC at the 30% depth: $197.89 mln bid $331.67 mln ask $197.89 / $331.67 = delta BTC 30% = 0.60

ETH at the 30% depth: $101.01 mln bid $160.73 mln ask $101.01 / $160.73 = delta ETH 30% = 0.63

Calculating AVG: delta BTC 0.60 + delta ETH 0.63=1,23 / 2 (number of coins) = avg 0,615 This is what AVG 30% would be if there were only 2 coins on the market.
In our case, we calculate an individual delta for all of them (300+ coins from Binance), then sum up all the deltas and divide by their count = AVG

Application strategy.

The screenshot below shows a basic strategy for working with this indicator, at the 30% depth (it identifies local moves more precisely).


To identify a potential move, we use relatively extreme values:
