The Adjusted Risk-Return Score is a customized metric designed to evaluate an asset's risk-adjusted returns in a non-traditional yet insightful way. Inspired by the principles of the Sharpe Ratio, this indicator modifies the standard formula to offer a more flexible perspective on returns relative to volatility. It aims to provide traders with a dynamic view of market performance, incorporating scaling and mean adjustments to better fit various market conditions.
Key Features:
Custom Risk-Return Evaluation: This indicator builds on the idea of the Sharpe Ratio, using average returns and volatility to measure how effectively an asset compensates for risk. Unlike the traditional Sharpe Ratio, it includes transformations for flexibility and custom scaling.
Adjustable Parameters:
Period Length: Define the length of historical data used for the calculation (default is 400).
Mean Adjustment: Shift the calculated score to customize it for different market expectations.
Scaling Factor: Amplify or reduce the influence of the score based on personal preference or market behavior.
Custom Line Color: Easily adjust the color to suit your charting style.
Visual Guidance:
Key risk-return thresholds are highlighted using colored zones to indicate overbought, oversold, and neutral conditions:
Green Zone: Represents negative values beyond -0.5, which may indicate potential opportunities for buying.
Red Zone: Represents positive values beyond 0.5, indicating possible overbought conditions.
Yellow Zone: Represents the neutral area between -0.5 and 0.5, signaling a balanced risk-return state.
How to Use:
Identifying Market Extremes: Use the green and red highlighted areas to identify potential market reversals or extremes.
Risk-Adjusted Decisions: This score helps traders make decisions by evaluating the balance between return and associated risk, giving a non-standardized but practical perspective for timing entries and exits.
Adaptive Insights: By using the scaling and mean parameters, you can fine-tune the score to adapt to different asset classes or volatility regimes.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates daily returns over a specified period, evaluates their average, and divides by the standard deviation to derive a basic risk-return metric. This value is then adjusted using a scaling factor and mean offset, resulting in a versatile metric that helps capture the dynamics of risk-adjusted performance across different market phases.
Note: The Adjusted Risk-Return Score is a modified version of the Sharpe Ratio concept, offering a unique perspective that may not align exactly with conventional financial risk metrics. It is designed for traders who are seeking a fresh way to measure and visualize returns in the context of risk.
Use the "Adjusted Risk-Return Score" to gain a deeper, adaptive understanding of an asset's performance relative to the inherent risk, helping you to identify favorable opportunities while staying aware of potential reversals.
