Reversion to the mean is one of the quintessential parts of trading. What does that mean? What goes way up must come down, and what goes way down must come up.

That was the concept that inspired the Top Hat Indicator. Top Hat is designed to show a signal on the charts when a stock has gotten too hot or too cold and the probability of “mean reversion” or, more simply, a move in the opposite direction is most likely.

All financial instruments have a personality to them that can, in a way, be measured by average true range. For example, a stock like Pfizer will move significantly less day-to-day than a comparably priced one like Intel. Understanding the personality of a stock and the concept of mean reversion drives the Top Hat indicator.

We like to use this indicator as an early indicator of a swing up or down pushing the limits of the typical move which usually precedes a reversal in the opposite direction.
