Midpoint Over Period (MOP)

Overview

The Midpoint Over Period indicator calculates the exact center between the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback window, providing traders with a dynamic equilibrium line that adapts to changing market conditions. MOP finds this midpoint using the formula (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2, which creates a smooth reference line that filters noise while remaining responsive to genuine price movements. When price action stays above the MOP line, it confirms bullish control of the market range, whereas consistent trading below suggests bears dominate the current price structure. Traders frequently use MOP as a trend filter in systematic strategies because it captures the full scope of market volatility without the lag associated with moving averages or the complexity of weighted calculations. The indicator excels at identifying mean reversion opportunities when price extends too far from the midpoint, particularly in range bound markets where extremes tend to snap back toward equilibrium.
