This Average Year over Year indicator will calculate the average close price (or any other time series) movement over the preceding N-years.
For any particular date, it will take the preceding N-year values and calculate the average one-bar return of these values.
Note that this indicator can work with daily, weekly and monthly time frame as well as intraday time if you have several years' worth of intraday data.
To use this trading indicator and compare your asset movement with the average movement over the past years, first click on the "Download" button at the bottom then install the indicator.
In QuantShare, right click on your chart, select "Edit Formula" then type the following formula:
a = AvgYearOverYear(open, 4);
plot(a, "Average Year over Year Indicator", colorRed, ChartLine, StyleOwnScale);
Once done, right click again on the chart, select "Tools" then "Set Percentage Scale". This will allow you to easily compare the candlestick with the average return line by making both time series start at the same level.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
