Normalized Market IndicatorsExplanation of the Code:
Data Retrieval: The script retrieves the closing prices of the S&P 500 (sp500) and VIX (vix).
Normalization: The script normalizes these values using a simple z-score normalization (subtracting the 50-period simple moving average and dividing by the 50-period standard deviation). This makes the scales of the two datasets more comparable.
Plotting with Secondary Axis: The normalized values of the S&P 500 and VIX are plotted on the same chart. They will share the same y-axis scale as the main chart (e.g. Netflix, GOLD, Forex).
Points to Note:
Normalization Method: The method of normalization (z-score in this case) is a choice and can be adjusted based on your needs. The idea is to bring the data to a comparable scale.
Timeframe and Symbol Codes: Ensure the timeframe and symbol codes are appropriate for your data source and trading strategy.
Overlaying on Price Chart: Since these values are normalized and plotted on a seperate chart, they won't directly correspond to the price levels of the main chart (e.g. Netflix, GOLD, Forex).

█ OVERVIEW
This library contains functions for the calculation of the OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker) and its variants, originally created by Anıl Özekşi (Anil_Ozeksi). Special thanks to him for the concept and to Kıvanç Özbilgiç (KivancOzbilgic) and dg_factor (dg_factor) for adapting them to Pine Script.
█ WHAT IS "OTT"
The OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker) is a highly customizable and very effective trend-following indicator that relies on moving averages and a trailing stop at its core. Moving averages help reduce noise by smoothing out sudden price movements in the markets, while trailing stops assist in detecting trend reversals with precision. Initially developed as a noise-free trailing stop, the current variants of OTT range from rapid trend reversal detection to long-term trend confirmation, thanks to its extensive customizability.
It's well-known variants are:
OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker).
TOTT (Twin OTT).
OTT Channels.
RISOTTO (RSI OTT).
SOTT (Stochastic OTT).
HOTT & LOTT (Highest & Lowest OTT)
ROTT (Relative OTT)
FT (Original name is Fırsatçı Trend in Turkish which translates to Opportunist Trend)
█ LIBRARY FEATURES
This library has been prepared in accordance with the style, coding, and annotation standards of Pine Script version 5. As a result, explanations and examples will appear when users hover over functions or enter function parameters in the editor.
█ USAGE
Usage of this library is very simple. Just import it to your script with the code below and use its functions.
import ismailcarlik/ottlib/1 as ottlib
█ FUNCTIONS
• f_vidya(source, length, cmoLength)
Short Definition: Chande's Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA).
Details: This function computes Chande's Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA), which serves as the original moving average for OTT. The 'length' parameter determines the number of bars used to calculate the average of the given source. Lower values result in less smoothing of prices, while higher values lead to greater smoothing. While primarily used internally in this library, it has been made available for users who wish to utilize it as a moving average or use in custom OTT implementations.
Parameters:
source (float) : (series float) Series of values to process.
length (simple int) : (simple int) Number of bars to lookback.
cmoLength (simple int) : (simple int) Number of bars to lookback for calculating CMO. Default value is `9`.
Returns: (float) Calculated average of `source` for `length` bars back.
Example:
vidyaValue = ottlib.f_vidya(source = close, length = 20)
plot(vidyaValue, color = color.blue)
• f_mostTrail(source, multiplier)
Short Definition: Calculates trailing stop value.
Details: This function calculates the trailing stop value for a given source and the percentage. The 'multiplier' parameter defines the percentage of the trailing stop. Lower values are beneficial for catching short-term reversals, while higher values aid in identifying long-term trends. Although only used once internally in this library, it has been made available for users who wish to utilize it as a traditional trailing stop or use in custom OTT implementations.
Parameters:
source (float) : (series int/float) Series of values to process.
multiplier (simple float) : (simple float) Percent of trailing stop.
Returns: (float) Calculated value of trailing stop.
Example:
emaValue = ta.ema(source = close, length = 14)
mostValue = ottlib.f_mostTrail(source = emaValue, multiplier = 2.0)
plot(mostValue, color = emaValue >= mostValue ? color.green : color.red)
• f_ottTrail(source, multiplier)
Short Definition: Calculates OTT-specific trailing stop value.
Details: This function calculates the trailing stop value for a given source in the manner used in OTT. Unlike a traditional trailing stop, this function modifies the traditional trailing stop value from two bars prior by adjusting it further with half the specified percentage. The 'multiplier' parameter defines the percentage of the trailing stop. Lower values are beneficial for catching short-term reversals, while higher values aid in identifying long-term trends. Although primarily used internally in this library, it has been made available for users who wish to utilize it as a trailing stop or use in custom OTT implementations.
Parameters:
source (float) : (series int/float) Series of values to process.
multiplier (simple float) : (simple float) Percent of trailing stop.
Returns: (float) Calculated value of OTT-specific trailing stop.
Example:
vidyaValue = ottlib.f_vidya(source = close, length = 20)
ottValue = ottlib.f_ottTrail(source = vidyaValue, multiplier = 1.5)
plot(ottValue, color = vidyaValue >= ottValue ? color.green : color.red)

shortCondition = ta.crossunder(supportLine, ftLine)
█ CUSTOM OTT CREATION
Users can create custom OTT implementations using f_ottTrail function in this library. The example code which uses EMA of 7 period as moving average and calculates OTT based of it is below.
Source Code:
//@version=5
indicator("Custom OTT", shorttitle = "COTT", overlay = true)
import ismailcarlik/ottlib/1 as ottlib
src = input.source(close, title = "Source")
length = input.int(7, title = "Length", minval = 1)
multiplier = input.float(2.0, title = "Multiplier", minval = 0.1)
support = ta.ema(source = src, length = length)
ott = ottlib.f_ottTrail(source = support, multiplier = multiplier)
pSupport = plot(support, title = "Moving Average Line (Support)", color = color.blue)
pOtt = plot(ott, title = "Custom OTT Line", color = color.orange)
fillColor = support >= ott ? color.new(color.green, 60) : color.new(color.red, 60)
fill(pSupport, pOtt, color = fillColor, title = "Direction")

Intersection PointThis publication focusses at the intersection of 2 lines, and a trend estimation derived from a comparison of Intersection Point value against current price value.
The formula to calculate the Intersection Point (IP) is:
change1 = ta.change (valueLine1)
change2 = ta.change (valueLine2)
sf = (valueLine2 - valueLine1 ) / (change1 - change2)
I = valueLine1 + change1 * sf
🔶 USAGE
🔹 Future / Past Intersection
The position where 2 lines would intersect in the future is shown here by extending both lines and a yellow small line to indicate its location:
Of course this can change easily when price changes.
If "Back" is enabled, the IP in history can be seen:
The yellow line which indicates the IP is only visible when it is not further located then +/- 500 bars from current bar.
If this point is further away, lines towards the IP still will be visible (max 500 bars further) without the IP.
🔹 Trend
The calculated intersection price is compared with the latest close and used for estimating the trend direction.
When close is above the intersection price (I), this is an indication the market is trending up, if close is below I, this would indicate the market is trending down.
The included bands can be useful for entry/SL/TP,...
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Map.new()
All values are put in a map.new() with the function value()
The latest Intersection is also placed in this map with the function addLastIntersectValue() and retrieved at the last bar (right top)
🔹 Intersection Point Line
The intersection price can be made visible by enabling "Intersection Price" in SETTINGS -> STYLE. To ensure lines aren't drawn all over the place, this value is limited to maximum high + 200 days-ATR and minimum low - 200 days-ATR.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Choose the value for both lines :
Type : choose between
• open, high, low, close,
• SMA, EMA, HullMA, WMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA
• The Length setting sets 1 of these Moving Averages when chosen
• src 1 -> You can pick an external source here
🔹 Length Intersection Line : Max length of line:
Intersection Line will update untillthe amount of bars reach the "Length Intersection Line"

Fear & Greed Index (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Fear & Greed Index is an indicator that provides a comprehensive view of market sentiment. By analyzing various market factors such as market momentum, stock price strength, stock price breadth, put and call options, junk bond demand, market volatility, and safe haven demand, the Index can depict the overall emotions driving market behavior, categorizing them into two main sentiments: Fear and Greed.
Fear: Indicates a market scenario where investors are scared, possibly leading to a sell-off or a stagnant market. In such conditions, the indicator helps in identifying potential buying opportunities as assets may be undervalued.
Greed: Represents a state where investors are overly confident and buying aggressively, which can lead to inflated asset prices. The indicator in such cases can signal overbought conditions, advising caution or potential short opportunities.
█ How It Works
The Fear & Greed Index is an aggregate of seven distinct indicators, each gauging a specific dimension of stock market activity. These indicators include market momentum, stock price strength, stock price breadth, put and call options, junk bond demand, market volatility, and safe haven demand. The Index assesses the deviation of each individual indicator from its average, in relation to its typical fluctuations. In compiling the final score, which ranges from 0 to 100, the Index assigns equal weight to each indicator. A score of 100 denotes the highest level of Greed, while a score of 0 represents the utmost level of fear.
S&P 500's Momentum: The Index monitors the S&P 500's position relative to its 125-day moving average. Positive momentum (price above the average) signals growing confidence among investors (Greed), while negative momentum (price below the average) indicates rising fear.
Stock Price Strength: By comparing the number of stocks hitting 52-week highs to those at 52-week lows on the NYSE, the Index gauges market breadth. An extreme number of highs indicates Greed, whereas an extreme number of lows suggests Fear.
Stock Price Breadth (Market Volume): Using the McClellan Volume Summation Index, which considers the volume of advancing versus declining stocks, the Index assesses whether the market is broadly participating in a trend, or if a smaller subset of stocks is driving it.
Put and Call Options: The put/call ratio helps gauge investor sentiment. A rising ratio, particularly above 1, indicates increasing fear, as more investors are buying puts to protect against a decline. A falling ratio suggests growing confidence.
Market Volatility (VIX): The VIX measures expected market volatility. Higher values generally indicate Fear, while lower values point to Greed. The Fear & Greed Index compares the VIX to its 50-day moving average to understand its trend.
Safe Haven Demand: The performance of stocks versus bonds over a 20-day period helps understand where investors are putting their money. Bonds outperforming stocks is a sign of Fear, while the opposite suggests Greed.
Junk Bond Demand: By comparing the yields on junk bonds to safer investment-grade bonds, the Index gauges risk appetite. A narrower yield spread suggests Greed (investors are taking more risk), while a wider spread indicates Fear.
The Fear & Greed Index combines these components, scales, and averages them to produce a single value between 0 (Extreme Fear) and 100 (Extreme Greed).
█ How to Use
The Fear & Greed Index serves as a tool to evaluate the prevailing sentiments in the market. Investors, often driven by emotions, can react impulsively, and sentiment indicators like the Fear & Greed Index aim to highlight these emotional states, helping investors recognize personal biases that might impact their investment choices. When integrated with fundamental analysis and additional analytical instruments, the Index becomes a valuable resource for understanding and interpreting market moods and tendencies.
The Fear & Greed Index operates on the principle that excessive fear can result in stocks trading well below their intrinsic values,
while uncontrolled Greed can push prices above what they should be.

Volume Profile with a few polylinesThe base of "Volume Profile with a few polylines" is another script of mine, Volume Profile (Maps) .
The structure of maps is used to gather the data. However, the drawings is done with polylines.
This enables coders to draw an entire volume profile with just a few polylines, while the range is broader.
This results in the benefit to draw more "lines" than with line.new() / box.new() alone.
🔶 CONCEPTS
🔹 Polylines
polyline.new creates a new polyline instance and displays it on the chart, sequentially connecting all of the points in the `points` array with line segments.
The segments in the drawing can be straight or curved depending on the `curved` parameter.
In this script, points are connected, starting from the bottom. The created line moves up until there is a price level where a volume value needs to be displayed,
at which the line goes to the left to the concerning volume value, coming back at the same price level until the line returns to its initial x-axis,
after which the line will continue to rise until all values are displayed.
A polyline can contain maximum 10000 points (10K).
Since the line has to go back and forth, each price/volume line takes 3 points.
In the case that 20K bars all have a different price, we would need 60K points, or just 6 polylines. A maximum of 100 polylines can be displayed.
The 3 highest volume values are displayed with line.new(), each with their own colour.
🔹 Maps
A map object is a collection that consists of key - value pairs
Each key is unique and can only appear once. When adding a new value with a key that the map already contains, that value replaces the old value associated with the key .
You can change the value of a particular key though, for example adding volume (value) at the same price (key), the latter technique is used in this script.
Volume is added to the map, associated with a particular price (default close, can be set at high, low, open,...)
When the map already contains the same price (key), the value (volume) is added to the existing volume at the associated price.
A map can contain maximum 50K values, which is more than enough to hold 20K bars (Basic 5K - Premium plan 20K), so the whole history can be put into a map.
🔹 Rounding function
This publication contains 2 round functions, which can be used to widen the Volume Profile
Round
• "Round" set at zero -> nothing changes to the source number
• "Round" set below zero -> x digit(s) after the decimal point, starting from the right side, and rounded.
• "Round" set above zero -> x digit(s) before the decimal point, starting from the right side, and rounded.
Example: 123456.789
0->123456.789
1->123456.79
2->123456.8
3->123457
-1->123460
-2->123500
Step
Another option is custom steps.
After setting "Round" to "Step", choose the desired steps in price,
Examples
• 2 -> 1234.00, 1236.00, 1238.00, 1240.00
• 5 -> 1230.00, 1235.00, 1240.00, 1245.00
• 100 -> 1200.00, 1300.00, 1400.00, 1500.00
• 0.05 -> 1234.00, 1234.05, 1234.10, 1234.15
•••
🔶 FEATURES
🔹 Volume * currency
Let's take as example BTCUSD, relative to USD, 10 volume at a price of 100 BTCUSD will be very different than 10 volume at a price of 30000 (1K vs. 300K)
If you want volume to be associated with USD, enable Volume * currency . Volume will then be multiplied by the price:
• 10 volume, 1 BTC = 100 -> 1000
• 10 volume, 1 BTC = 30K -> 300K
Polylines has the attributes curved & closed.
When "curved" is enabled the drawing will connect all points from the `points` array using curved line segments.
When "closed" is enabled the drawing will also connect the first point to the last point from the `points` array, resulting in a closed polyline.
They are default disabled, but can be enabled:
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Put
When the map doesn't contain a price, it will be added, using map.put(id, key, value)
In our code:
map.put(originalMap, price, volume)
or
originalMap.put(price, volume)
A key (price) is now associated with a value (volume) -> key : value
Since all keys are unique, we don't have to know its position to extract the value, we just need to know the key -> map.get(id, key)

Machine Learning: Optimal RSI [YinYangAlgorithms]This Indicator, will rate multiple different lengths of RSIs to determine which RSI to RSI MA cross produced the highest profit within the lookback span. This ‘Optimal RSI’ is then passed back, and if toggled will then be thrown into a Machine Learning calculation. You have the option to Filter RSI and RSI MA’s within the Machine Learning calculation. What this does is, only other Optimal RSI’s which are in the same bullish or bearish direction (is the RSI above or below the RSI MA) will be added to the calculation.
You can either (by default) use a Simple Average; which is essentially just a Mean of all the Optimal RSI’s with a length of Machine Learning. Or, you can opt to use a k-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) calculation which takes a Fast and Slow Speed. We essentially turn the Optimal RSI into a MA with different lengths and then compare the distance between the two within our KNN Function.
RSI may very well be one of the most used Indicators for identifying crucial Overbought and Oversold locations. Not only that but when it crosses its Moving Average (MA) line it may also indicate good locations to Buy and Sell. Many traders simply use the RSI with the standard length (14), however, does that mean this is the best length?
By using the length of the top performing RSI and then applying some Machine Learning logic to it, we hope to create what may be a more accurate, smooth, optimal, RSI.
Tutorial:
This is a pretty zoomed out Perspective of what the Indicator looks like with its default settings (except with Bollinger Bands and Signals disabled). If you look at the Tables above, you’ll notice, currently the Top Performing RSI Length is 13 with an Optimal Profit % of: 1.00054973. On its default settings, what it does is Scan X amount of RSI Lengths and checks for when the RSI and RSI MA cross each other. It then records the profitability of each cross to identify which length produced the overall highest crossing profitability. Whichever length produces the highest profit is then the RSI length that is used in the plots, until another length takes its place. This may result in what we deem to be the ‘Optimal RSI’ as it is an adaptive RSI which changes based on performance.
In our next example, we changed the ‘Optimal RSI Type’ from ‘All Crossings’ to ‘Extremity Crossings’. If you compare the last two examples to each other, you’ll notice some similarities, but overall they’re quite different. The reason why is, the Optimal RSI is calculated differently. When using ‘All Crossings’ everytime the RSI and RSI MA cross, we evaluate it for profit (short and long). However, with ‘Extremity Crossings’, we only evaluate it when the RSI crosses over the RSI MA and RSI <= 40 or RSI crosses under the RSI MA and RSI >= 60. We conclude the crossing when it crosses back on its opposite of the extremity, and that is how it finds its Optimal RSI.
The way we determine the Optimal RSI is crucial to calculating which length is currently optimal.
In this next example we have zoomed in a bit, and have the full default settings on. Now we have signals (which you can set alerts for), for when the RSI and RSI MA cross (green is bullish and red is bearish). We also have our Optimal RSI Bollinger Bands enabled here too. These bands allow you to see where there may be Support and Resistance within the RSI at levels that aren’t static; such as 30 and 70. The length the RSI Bollinger Bands use is the Optimal RSI Length, allowing it to likewise change in correlation to the Optimal RSI.
In the example above, we’ve zoomed out as far as the Optimal RSI Bollinger Bands go. You’ll notice, the Bollinger Bands may act as Support and Resistance locations within and outside of the RSI Mid zone (30-70). In the next example we will highlight these areas so they may be easier to see.
Circled above, you may see how many times the Optimal RSI faced Support and Resistance locations on the Bollinger Bands. These Bollinger Bands may give a second location for Support and Resistance. The key Support and Resistance may still be the 30/50/70, however the Bollinger Bands allows us to have a more adaptive, moving form of Support and Resistance. This helps to show where it may ‘bounce’ if it surpasses any of the static levels (30/50/70).
Due to the fact that this Indicator may take a long time to execute and it can throw errors for such, we have added a Setting called: Adjust Optimal RSI Lookback and RSI Count. This settings will automatically modify the Optimal RSI Lookback Length and the RSI Count based on the Time Frame you are on and the Bar Indexes that are within. For instance, if we switch to the 1 Hour Time Frame, it will adjust the length from 200->90 and RSI Count from 30->20. If this wasn’t adjusted, the Indicator would Timeout.
You may however, change the Setting ‘Adjust Optimal RSI Lookback and RSI Count’ to ‘Manual’ from ‘Auto’. This will give you control over the ‘Optimal RSI Lookback Length’ and ‘RSI Count’ within the Settings. Please note, it will likely take some “fine tuning” to find working settings without the Indicator timing out, but there are definitely times you can find better settings than our ‘Auto’ will create; especially on higher Time Frames. The Minimum our ‘Auto’ will create is:
Optimal RSI Lookback Length: 90
RSI Count: 20
The Maximum it will create is:
Optimal RSI Lookback Length: 200
RSI Count: 30
If there isn’t much bar index history, for instance, if you’re on the 1 Day and the pair is BTC/USDT you’ll get < 4000 Bar Indexes worth of data. For this reason it is possible to manually increase the settings to say:
Optimal RSI Lookback Length: 500
RSI Count: 50
But, please note, if you make it too high, it may also lead to inaccuracies.
We will conclude our Tutorial here, hopefully this has given you some insight as to how calculating our Optimal RSI and then using it within Machine Learning may create a more adaptive RSI.
Settings:
Optimal RSI:
Show Crossing Signals: Display signals where the RSI and RSI Cross.
Show Tables: Display Information Tables to show information like, Optimal RSI Length, Best Profit, New Optimal RSI Lookback Length and New RSI Count.
Show Bollinger Bands: Show RSI Bollinger Bands. These bands work like the TDI Indicator, except its length changes as it uses the current RSI Optimal Length.
Optimal RSI Type: This is how we calculate our Optimal RSI. Do we use all RSI and RSI MA Crossings or just when it crosses within the Extremities.
Adjust Optimal RSI Lookback and RSI Count: Auto means the script will automatically adjust the Optimal RSI Lookback Length and RSI Count based on the current Time Frame and Bar Index's on chart. This will attempt to stop the script from 'Taking too long to Execute'. Manual means you have full control of the Optimal RSI Lookback Length and RSI Count.
Optimal RSI Lookback Length: How far back are we looking to see which RSI length is optimal? Please note the more bars the lower this needs to be. For instance with BTC/USDT you can use 500 here on 1D but only 200 for 15 Minutes; otherwise it will timeout.
RSI Count: How many lengths are we checking? For instance, if our 'RSI Minimum Length' is 4 and this is 30, the valid RSI lengths we check is 4-34.
RSI Minimum Length: What is the RSI length we start our scans at? We are capped with RSI Count otherwise it will cause the Indicator to timeout, so we don't want to waste any processing power on irrelevant lengths.
RSI MA Length: What length are we using to calculate the optimal RSI cross' and likewise plot our RSI MA with?
Extremity Crossings RSI Backup Length: When there is no Optimal RSI (if using Extremity Crossings), which RSI should we use instead?
Machine Learning:
Use Rational Quadratics: Rationalizing our Close may be beneficial for usage within ML calculations.
Filter RSI and RSI MA: Should we filter the RSI's before usage in ML calculations? Essentially should we only use RSI data that are of the same type as our Optimal RSI? For instance if our Optimal RSI is Bullish (RSI > RSI MA), should we only use ML RSI's that are likewise bullish?
Machine Learning Type: Are we using a Simple ML Average, KNN Mean Average, KNN Exponential Average or None?
KNN Distance Type: We need to check if distance is within the KNN Min/Max distance, which distance checks are we using.
Machine Learning Length: How far back is our Machine Learning going to keep data for.
k-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) Length: How many k-Nearest Neighbours will we account for?
Fast ML Data Length: What is our Fast ML Length? This is used with our Slow Length to create our KNN Distance.
Slow ML Data Length: What is our Slow ML Length? This is used with our Fast Length to create our KNN Distance.

Z ScoreWhat Is Z-Score?
Z-score is a statistical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values. Z-score is measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. If a Z-score is 0, it indicates that the data point's score is identical to the mean score. A Z-score of 1.0 would indicate a value that is one standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores may be positive or negative, with a positive value indicating the score is above the mean and a negative score indicating it is below the mean.
CBOE Volatility Index
VIX is the ticker symbol and the popular name for the Chicago Board Options Exchange's CBOE Volatility Index, a popular measure of the stock market's expectation of volatility based on S&P 500 index options. It is calculated and disseminated on a real-time basis by the CBOE, and is often referred to as the fear index or fear gauge. To summarize, VIX is a volatility index derived from S&P 500 options for the 30 days following the measurement date, with the price of each option representing the market's expectation of 30-day forward-looking volatility. The resulting VIX index formulation provides a measure of expected market volatility on which expectations of further stock market volatility in the near future might be based
Z Scores of VIX
When the Z-scored VIX indicator exceeds the +2 standard deviation mark, the system forecasts mean reversion and decreasing volatility and the possibility of an upward trend in S&P500.
When the Z-scored VIX indicator falls below -2 standard deviations, the system predicts future increasing volatility and the possibility of a downward trend in S&P500.
ZWAP (ZigZag Anchored VWAP) [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
Quick script showcasing the new polyline function for Pine Script!
Features
Up to 100 high/low pivot points auto anchored VWAP
Visible range auto anchored VWAP
Curved ZigZag (Adjustable!)
With the new polyline function, auto-anchored VWAP at specific price points is more viable.
When using line.new() only 500 lines can exist on the chart concurrently and, since VWAP is calculated on every update, a "proper" VWAP drawn using line.new() can extend 500 bars at most, to which no additional VWAP lines can be drawn after.
Of course, when using the plot() function a VWAP line will draw on every bar; however, this method isn't highly compatible with auto-anchoring VWAP lines.
However!
A polyline, from beginning to end irrespective of the number of coordinates used, constitutes 1 polyline; 100 can exist simultaneously with 10,000 xy coordinates per line.
The image above shows an attempt to draw the same auto-anchored VWAP lines using the line.new() function. Not an ideal outcome!
The image above shows the same attempt using the polyline.new() function!
Very nice (:
The image above shows the indicator auto anchoring to zig zag turning points.
Subsequent to a new anchoring, VWAP is calculated for the following bars - up to the current bar.
Thank you for checking this out; if you have any ideas to spice it up feel free to comment!
ATR Based EMA Price Targets [SS]As requested...
This is a spinoff of my EMA 9/21 cross indicator with price targets.
A few of you asked for a simple EMA crossover version and that is what this is.
I have, of course, added a bit of extra functionality to it, assuming you would want to transition from another EMA indicator to this one, I tried to leave it somewhat customizable so you can get the same type of functionality as any other EMA based indicator just with the added advantage of having an ATR based assessment added on. So lets get into the details:
What it does:
Same as my EMA 9/21, simply performs a basic ATR range analysis on a ticker, calculating the average move it does on a bullish or bearish cross.
How to use it:
So there are quite a few functions of this indicator. I am going to break them down one by one, from most basic to the more complex.
Plot functions:
EMA is Customizable: The EMA is customizable. If you want the 200, 100, 50, 31, 9, whatever you want, you just have to add the desired EMA timeframe in the settings menu.
Standard Deviation Bands are an option: If you like to have standard deviation bands added to your EMA's, you can select to show the standard deviation band. It will plot the standard deviation for the desired EMA timeframe (so if it is the EMA 200, it will plot the Standard Deviation on the EMA 200).
Plotting Crossovers: You can have the indicator plot green arrows for bullish crosses and red arrows for bearish crosses. I have smoothed out this function slightly by only having it signal a crossover when it breaks and holds. I pulled this over to the alert condition functions as well, so you are not constantly being alerted when it is bouncing over and below an EMA. Only once it chooses a direction, holds and moves up or down, will it alert to a true crossover.
Plotting labels: The indicator will default to plotting the price target labels and the EMA label. You can toggle these on and off in the EMA settings menu.
Trend Assessment Settings:
In addition to plotting the EMA itself and signaling the ATR ranges, the EMA will provide you will demographic information about the trend and price action behaviour around the EMA. You can see an example in the image below:
This will provide you with a breakdown of the statistics on the EMA over the designated lookback period, such as the number of crosses, the time above and below the EMA and the amount the EMA has remained within its standard deviation bands.
Where this is important is the proportion assessment. And what the proportion assessment is doing is its measuring the amount of time the ticker is spending either above or below the EMA.
Ideally, you should have relatively equal and uniform durations above and below. This would be a proportion of between 0.5 and 1.5 Above to Below. Now, you don't have to remember this because you can ask the indicator to do the assessment for you. It will be displayed at the bottom of your chart in a table that you can toggle on and off:
Example of a Uniform Assessment:
Example of a biased assessment:
Keep in mind, if you are using those very laggy EMAs (like the 50, 200, 100 etc.) on the daily timeframe, you aren't going to get uniformity in the data. This is because, stocks are technically already biased to the upside over time. Thus, when you are looking at the big picture, the bull bias thesis of the stock market is in play.
But for the smaller and moderate timeframes, owning to the randomness of price action, you can generally get uniformity in data representation by simply adjusting your lookback period.
To adjust your lookback period, you simply need to change the timeframe for the ATR lookback length. I suggest no less than 500 and probably no more than 1,500 candles, and work within this range. But you can use what the indicator indicates is appropriate.
Of course, all of these charts can be turned off and you are left with a clean looking EMA indicator:
And an example with the standard deviation bands toggled on:
And that, my friends, is the indicator.
Hopefully this is what you wanted, let me know if you have any suggestions.
Enjoy and safe trades!
EMA 9/21 with Target Price [SS]Hey everyone,
Coming back with my EMA 9/21 indicator.
My original one was removed a long time ago because I didn't really realize that there were already plenty of similar indicators (my bad!) but this one is my unique, Steversteves edition haha.
About the Indicator:
Essentially, it just combines the 2 only EMA's I ever really use (the 9 and 21) with an ATR based analysis to calculate the average range a ticker undergoes after an EMA 9 / 21 Cross-over and Cross-under.
You can see the major example being in the chart above. I use this for dramatic effect as SPY just happened to have topped at the second expected bull target on the daily. But obviously the intention for this indicator is to be used on the smaller timeframes. Let's take a look at some examples with various tickers.
TSLA:
So let's just use the previous day as example (which was Friday). If we look to the chart below:
TSLA did an EMA 9/21 crossover (bullish) in premarket. This put the immediate TP at 234.59. If we play out the chart:
We shot right to it at open.
We then did a cross under with a TP of 225.93, but that was not realized as the sentiment was too bullish. We then cross back over to the upside, putthing next TP at 238.88 which was realized:
NVDA:
On Friday, NVDA was a bit of a mess, lots of whipsaw off open. But once we finally had a cross under with 3 consecutive closes below the EMA9/21 on the 5 minute chart, it solidified the likelihood of a short:
And this was the result:
We came down to the first target, held it actually as support before finally crossing back over, setting the next TP at 475.05. We got 3 consecutive closes above the EMA 9/21, so let's see what happened:
Nothing really, we closed before we got there, but we did make progress towards it.
And last but not least SPY:
We opened the day with a bullish crossover and 3 consecutive closes above the EMA9/21, making our TP 441.38 (chart above). Let's see what happened:
We came just shy of it after the fed release volatility slammed it down, where we got a crossunder (bearish) to a TP of 436.21:
This ended up playing out, we did get a bullish crossover later in the day and so let's see what happened then:
So those are the real examples, most recent examples of trading using this. They are not all perfect, which is intentional because you need to use a bit of your own analysis, of course, when you are using this type of strategy or indicator. The EMA 9/21 is not sufficient generally on its own, but it is very helpful to gauge the immediate PA and whether the expected move aligns with your overall thesis on the day in terms of realistic target prices.
Customizability:
In terms of the customizability, this is a very basic indicator aside from the assessment of ranges. So there really is not a lot to customize.
You can toggle off and on the labels if you do not want them, you can also adjust the lookback length for the ATR assessment. The lookback length is defaulted to 500, I do really highly suggest you leave it at 500 because this has worked well for me and in back-testing, it has performed above my own expectations.
But, that said, you can take this and back-test as you wish with whatever parameters you feel are most appropriate. I haven't back-tested this on every stock known to man, my go to's are SPY, QQQ, sometimes MSFT and so it works well on those. But perhaps some others will have differing results.
Final Thoughts:
That is the indicator in a nutshell! It is really self explanatory and its likely a strategy most of you already know. This just helps to add realistic price targets and context to those cross-overs and cross-unders.
It also works fine on larger timeframes. We can see it on the 1 hour with MSFT:
On the 2 hour hour with QQQ:
And I am sure you can find other examples!
That's it everyone, safe trades!
RedK Relative Strength Ribbon: RS Ribbon and RS ChartsRedK Relative Strength Ribbon (RedK RS_Ribbon) is TA tool that plots the Relative Strength of the current chart symbol against another symbol, or an index of choice. It enables us to see when a stock is gaining strength (or weakness) relative to (an index that represents) the market, and when it hits new highs or lows of that relative strength, which may lead to better trading decisions.
I searched TV for existing RS indicators but didn't find what I really wanted, so I put this together and added some additional features for my own use. It started as a simple RS line with new x-weeks Hi/Lo markers, then evolved into what you see here in v1.0 with the ability to plot a full RS chart in regular or HA candle types. Hope this will be useful to some other growth traders here on TV.
What is Relative Strength (RS)
------------------------------------
(RS is a comprehensive concept in TA, below is a quick summary - please research further if it's not already a familiar topic)
Relative Strength (RS) is a technical concept / indicator used mainly by growth / swing / momentum traders to compare the performance of one security or asset against another. RS measures the price performance of a specific security relative to a benchmark, such as an index or another asset. It's not to be confused with the famous Relative Strength Index (RSI) technical indicator
For example, In the context of comparing a stock's relative strength to the SPY (S&P 500) index, the relative strength calculation involves dividing the stock's price or price-related value (e.g., close price) by the corresponding value of the SPY index. The resulting ratio (and its trend over time) indicates the relative performance of the stock compared to the index.
Traders and investors use relative strength analysis to identify securities that have been showing relative strength or weakness compared to a benchmark, which can help in making investment decisions or identifying the "market leaders" and potential trading opportunities.
There are so many books and documentation about the RS concept and its importance to identify market leaders, especially when recovering from a bear market - if you're interested in the concept, please search more about it and review some of that literature. There's also a more detailed definition of Relative Strength in this article on Invstopedia
RedK RS_Ribbon features and options
---------------------------------------------------
The indicator settings provide many options and features - see the settings box below
- Change / choose base symbol
The default is to use SPY as the base symbol - so we're comparing the chart's symbol to a proxy of the S&P 500 - Some traders may prefer to use the QQQ - or other index or ETF that acts as a proxy for the industry / sector / market they are trading
- RS Calculation / RS line
we use the simple form of the RS calculation,
RS = closing price of current chart symbol / closing price of the base symbol (default is SPY) * 100
some RS documentation will use the Rate of Change (RoC) - but that's not what we're using here.
- The RS_Ribbon
* Once the RS line is plotted, it made sense to add couple of moving averages to it, to make it easier to observe the trend of the RS and the changes in that trend as you can see in the sample chart on top.
* The RS_Ribbon is made up of a fast and slow moving averages and will change color (green / red) based on detected trend RS direction - the 2 MA types and lengths can be changed until you get the setup that provides the best view for you of the RS trend over time. My preferred settings are used as defaults here.
- Identifying New (x)Week Hi/Lo RS Values
* Most traders would be interested when the calculated RS hits a new 52-week high or low value.
* There are cases where we may want to see when a new RS Hi/Lo has been hit for a different period - for example, a quarter (13 weeks)
* the number of weeks can be changed as well as adjusting the numbers of trading days per week (if needed for certain symbols/exchanges)
- Working with Different Timeframes
* Now these "markers" will only be available in the daily and weekly timeframes and there is a good reason for that, it's not the fact that i'm lazy :) and that enabling this in timeframes lower than 1D would have been some heavy lifting, but the reality is that with RS, we're really interested if a "day's close" hits a new RS high or low value against the moving window of x weeks (and the weeks close also) - if you think of this more, at lower TF, RS can hit a lower value that never end up registering on the daily closing and that causes a lot of visual confusion. So i took the "cleaner way out" of that issue.
* note that you can choose a different timeframe for the RS_Ribbon than the chart - if you do, please make sure the chart is at a lower timeframe than the indicator's - (and in that case remember to hide the candles because they won't make much sense)
i wanted to leverage TV's built-in multi-Timeframe (MTF) support with the caveat that using the indicator at lower TF with a chart at a higher TF (example chart at 1Wk and indicator at 1D) will show inaccurate results. If this sounds confusing, keep the indicator TF same as the chart.
the example here shows a 2-Hr chart against 1D RS_Ribbon
- Using RS Charts and RS Candles
* Beside the ability to plot the RS "closing" value with the RS line, the indicator provides the ability to show a "full" RS Chart with candles that represent the relative values of open, high, low. and close against the base symbol.
* the RS Charts can be used for regular chart analysis, for example, we can identify common chart patterns like Cup & Handle, VCP, Head & Shoulder..etc using these charts .. which can provide some edge over the price charts
* for the Heikin Ashi fans, I added the ability to choose classic or HA candles for the chart. note you have to enable the option to show the RS candles first before you choose the option to switch to HA.
The chart below shows a side-by-side comparison on the 2 RS chart types
Closing remarks
-----------------------
* RS is a good way to identify market/sector leaders (who will usually recover from a bear market before others) - and enable us to see the strength that comes from the broader makrket versus the one that comes from the stock's own performance and identify good trading opportunities
* I'll continue to update this work and alerts will come in next version - but wanted to check initial reaction and value
* as usual, if you decide to use this in your chart analysis, it's necessary to combine with other momentum, trend, ...etc indicators and do not make trading decision only based on the signales from a single indicator
Trend Correlation HeatmapHello everyone!
I am excited to release my trend correlation heatmap, or trend heatmap for short.
Per usual, I think its important to explain the theory before we get into the use of the indicator, so let's get into the theory!
The theory:
So what is a correlation?
Correlation is the relationship one variable has to another. Correlations are the basis of everything I do as a quantitative trader. From the correlation between the same variables (i.e. autocorrelation), the correlation between other variables (i.e. VIX and SPY, SPY High and SPY Low, DXY and ES1! close, etc.) and, as well, the correlation between price and time (time series correlation).
This may sound very familiar to you, especially if you are a user, observer or follower of my ideas and/or indicators. Ninety-five percent of my indicators are a function of one of those three things. Whether it be a time series based indicator (i.e.my time series indicator), whether it be autocorrelation (my autoregressive cloud indicator or my autocorrelation oscillator) or whether it be regressive in nature (i.e. my SPY Volume weighted close, or even my expected move which uses averages in lieu of regressive approaches but is foundational in regression principles. Or even my VIX oscillator which relies on the premise of correlations between tickers.) So correlation is extremely important to me and while its true I am more of a regression trader than anything, I would argue that I am more of a correlation trader, because correlations are the backbone of how I develop math models of stocks.
What I am trying to stress here is the importance of correlations. They really truly are foundational to any type of quantitative analysis for stocks. And as such, understanding the current relationship a stock has to time is pivotal for any meaningful analysis to be conducted.
So what is correlation to time and what does it tell us?
Correlation to time, otherwise known and commonly referred to as "Time Series", is the relationship a ticker's price has to the passing of time. It is displayed in the traditional Pearson Correlation Coefficient or R value and can be any value from -1 (strong negative relationship, i.e. a strong downtrend) to + 1 (i.e. a strong positive relationship, i.e. a strong uptrend). The higher or lower the value the stronger the up or downtrend is.
As such, correlation to time tells us two very important things. These are:
a) The direction of the stock; and
b) The strength of the trend.
Let's take a look at an example:
Above we have a chart of QQQ. We can see a trendline that seems to fit well. The questions we ask as traders are:
1. What is the likelihood QQQ breaks down from this trendline?
2. What is the likelihood QQQ continues up?
3. What is the likelihood QQQ does a false breakdown?
There are numerous mathematical approaches we can take to answer these questions. For example, 1 and 2 can be answered by use of a Cumulative Distribution Density analysis (CDDA) or even a linear or loglinear regression analysis and 3 can be answered, more or less, with a linear regression analysis and standard error ascertainment, or even just a general comparison using a data science approach (such as cosine similarity or Manhattan distance).
But, the reality is, all 3 of these questions can be visualized, at least in some way, by simply looking at the correlation to time. Let's look at this chart again, this time with the correlation heatmap applied:
If we look at the indicator we can see some pivotal things. These are:
1. We have 4, very strong uptrends that span both higher AND lower timeframes. We have a strong uptrend of 0.96 on the 5 minute, 50 candle period. We have a strong uptrend at the 300 candle lookback period on the 1 minute, we have a strong uptrend on the 100 day lookback on the daily timeframe period and we have a strong uptrend on the 5 minute on the 500 candle lookback period.
2. By comparison, we have 3 downtrends, all of which have correlations less than the 4 uptrends. All of the downtrends have a correlation above -0.8 (which we would want lower than -0.8 to be very strong), and all of the uptrends are greater than + 0.80.
3. We can also see that the uptrends are not confined to the smaller timeframes. We have multiple uptrends on multiple timeframes and both short term (50 to 100 candles) and long term (up to 500 candles).
4. The overall trend is strengthening to the upside manifested by a positive Max Change and a Positive Min change (to be discussed later more in-depth).
With this, we can see that QQQ is actually very strong and likely will continue at least some upside. If we let this play out:
We continued up, had one test and then bounced.
Now, I want to specify, this indicator is not a panacea for all trading. And in relation to the 3 questions posed, they are best answered, at least quantitatively, not only by correlation but also by the aforementioned methods (CDDA, etc.) but correlation will help you get a feel for the strength or weakness present with a stock.
What are some tangible applications of the indicator?
For me, this indicator is used in many ways. Let me outline some ways I generally apply this indicator in my day and swing trading:
1. Gauging the strength of the stock: The indictor tells you the most prevalent behavior of the stock. Are there more downtrends than uptrends present? Are the downtrends present on the larger timeframes vs uptrends on the shorter indicating a possible bullish reversal? or vice versa? Are the trends strengthening or weakening? All of these things can be visualized with the indicator.
2. Setting parameters for other indicators: If you trade EMAs or SMAs, you may have a "one size fits all" approach. However, its actually better to adjust your EMA or SMA length to the actual trend itself. Take a look at this:
This is QQQ on the 1 hour with the 200 EMA with 200 standard deviation bands added. If we look at the heatmap, we can see, yes indeed 200 has a fairly strong uptrend correlation of 0.70. But the strongest hourly uptrend is actually at 400 candles, with a correlation of 0.91. So what happens if we change the EMA length and standard deviation to 400? This:
The exact areas are circled and colour coded. You can see, the 400 offers more of a better reference point of supports and resistances as well as a better overall trend fit. And this is why I never advocate for getting married to a specific EMA. If you are an EMA 200 lover or 21 or 51, know that these are not always the best depending on the trend and situation.
Components of the indicator:
Ah okay, now for the boring stuff. Let's go over the functionality of the indicator. I tried to keep it simple, so it is pretty straight forward. If we open the menu here are our options:
We have the ability to toggle whichever timeframes we want. We also have the ability to toggle on or off the legend that displays the colour codes and the Max and Min highest change.
Max and Min highest change: The max and min highest change simply display the change in correlation over the previous 14 candles. An increasing Max change means that the Max trend is strengthening. If we see an increasing Max change and an increasing Min change (the Min correlation is moving up), this means the stock is bullish. Why? Because the min (i.e. ideally a big negative number) is going up closer to the positives. Therefore, the downtrend is weakening.
If we see both the Max and Min declining (red), that means the uptrend is weakening and downtrend is strengthening. Here are some examples:
Final Thoughts:
And that is the indicator and the theory behind the indicator.
In a nutshell, to summarize, the indicator simply tracks the correlation of a ticker to time on multiple timeframes. This will allow you to make judgements about strength, sentiment and also help you adjust which tools and timeframes you are using to perform your analyses.
As well, to make the indicator more user friendly, I tried to make the colours distinctively different. I was going to do different shades but it was a little difficult to visualize. As such, I have included a toggle-able legend with a breakdown of the colour codes!
That's it my friends, I hope you find it useful!

Anchored VWAP Pinch & Handoff, Intervals, and Signals"Anchored VWAP Pinch & Handoff, Intervals, and Signals" is an AVWAP toolbox for those who like to use various VWAP trading techniques. The indicator is currently comprised of the following three sections:
• The Pinch & Handoff section (shown above on chart) allows manually setting an upper and lower AVWAP (Pinch) along with an additional AVWAP (Handoff) by entering dates or by dragging the vertical anchor lines to the desired significant events on chart. Each of these three AVWAPs can also be set to show zones above and/or below by a percentage or standard deviation amount. The theory behind this method is that the upper and lower AVWAPs may act as dynamic support and resistance levels, effectively creating a price range or channel. As price moves between these two VWAP levels, it becomes squeezed or consolidated within that range. Further conjecture is that the longer the price remains within the range of the two anchored VWAP values, the higher the potential for an explosive breakout. Traders using this strategy may interpret the prolonged consolidation as a period of price compression, with the expectation that a significant move in either direction is likely to occur. Traders employing the AVWAP Pinch strategy might look for specific chart patterns or additional confirmation signals to enter a trade. For example, a breakout above the upper anchored VWAP level could trigger a long trade, while a breakdown below the lower anchored VWAP level could signal a short trade. Stop-loss orders and profit targets are typically set based on the trader's risk tolerance and the volatility of the asset. The third AVWAP (Handoff) is typically set after price has broken through the Pinch, and is used as a new level of support or resistance. The "Pinch & Handoff" phrase is believed to have been coined by Brian Shannon, who has popularized this method.
• The Intervals section (shown above on chart) is comprised of six periodic AVWAPs which cyclically reset. Their default settings are 1 Day, 2 Days, 1 Week, 1 Month, 1 Quarter, and 1 Year. They each may be set to desired period and when they are enabled the VWAPs whose periods are lower than the current chart timeframe are automatically hidden. For example a 1 Day AVWAP is not useful on a 1 Week chart so it would be hidden from that timeframe. When using AVWAPs from higher timeframes it may be helpful to set your chart to "Scale price chart only". This can be enabled by right clicking on your chart's price column and then left clicking "Scale price chart only" to enable that option.
• The Auto section (shown above on chart) is comprised of two automatic Anchored VWAPs. There are choices for setting anchors automatically based upon Highest Source, Highest Volume, Lowest Source, Lowest Volume, Pivot High, and Pivot Low. Because these two VWAPs work retroactively they are drawn with lines instead of plots. There is currently a limitation of 500 lines that may be drawn at any given time and the logic within this indicator uses a line for every bar of VWAP that is drawn, so if the combined length of both of these VWAPs exceeds 500 bars the earliest lines would disappear. For typical use of looking for the highest high in the last 50 bars or the last fractal this limitation should not be an issue.

All of the plots have been titled including hidden plots that are generated for the AVWAP line drawings. All of the various types of AVWAP within the indicator should be available as choices within the Alert creation dialog if use of alerts is desired.

Divergences in 52 Week Moving Averages, Adjusted and SmoothedThis script description is intended to be holistic and comprehensive for the understanding of the interested parties who view the script.
Following the PineCoders suggestions, I have provided detailed breakdowns both within the code and in the description immediately below:
► Description
This description is intended to be detailed and meaningful, conveying the understanding of the script’s intention to the user:
The theory: Divergences and extreme readings in 52-Week highs on major indexes can provide a view into a potential pending move in the opposite direction of how the market has been trending. By comparing the 52-Week Hi/Lo indices and applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), we can assess how extreme a move is from the average. If the move provides an extreme reading, it would potentially be beneficial to “fade” the move (take a position in the opposing direction).
The intention: The intentionality of this script is to provide a visualization of when the highly-probable opportunity to fade over a multi-day or multi-week period arises. In addition to this, based on backtesting prior moves and reading the various levels of significant reversals, three tiers: “Standard”, “Sensitive”, and “Highly Sensitive” have been applied, the user can choose which sensitivity level they would like to see, there are far less false positives on the Standard and Sensitive settings, while Highly Sensitive often signals multiple times with the move coming a few days later.
The application: The settings allow the user to customize their sensitivity to the fade signals, with the ability to customize the visual that shows up as well. For higher-highs that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the top of the candle, for lower-lows that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the bottom of the candle. The users risk criteria should be the primary driver of the entry/exit, although when backtesting it appears that the significant move is typically completed within a 2-4 week period at max and 3-5 day period at minimum.
A personal note: I am a futures trader intraday but would very strongly caution users when using this strategy with futures (unless their risk tolerance is higher than most). The most beneficial strategy when fading moves would be to enter in tranches, starting at the first signal and adding on any pullback (as long as the pullback is not below the initial entry point). 1-6 Week Date-To-Expiry options would be the primary method for applying this strategy. I would also like to add that SPY/SPX options (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust / CBOE S&P 500 Index) are the most liquid options that could be applied in this strategy.
► Description (additional)
With the understanding that few users can read pinescript (Pine), the description above contains all of the necessary information that is necessary for a user to understand the intention for script utilization. For those who do understand Pine, the code is commented in each section in order to provide an understanding of the underlying functions, calculations, and thought process that went on during the writing of the script.
► Description (additional)
This script’s description contains no delegations, all aspects of the script as well as the initial idea behind it are contained in the description above, which is self-contained in it’s entirety with a clear and defined purpose that is written with the intent to holistically capture the intent of the potential use for this indicator.
► General House Rule #2
This script and the description (as well as my profile) contain no links or associations to promotion of any kind, I am not a business, I am not an individual that will in any way make money from this script or the promotion of another person, idea, company, entity, or legal persons (foreign or domestic).
► Originality and usefulness
This is an original and custom script (and idea) that is not a rehashing or a copy of any code from any other programmers in the tradingview community.
Murder Algo Stats: last portion of Indices closing hour (S&P)Stats regarding the 'murder algo' (last 10mins of the closing hour). Works on all sub-1hr timeframes. Best used on 5min, 10min 15min timeframe. Ideal use on 10min timeframe.
Can be applied to other user input sessions also
What i'm calling the 'Murder Algo' is the tendency of dynamic lower time frame price action in the final 10minutes of the S&P closing hour (or any of the three major US indices: S&P, Nasdaq, Dow).
If there are un-met liquidity targets (i.e. clean highs or lows) as we come into the last portion of the closing hour, price has a tendency to stretch up or down to reach these targets, swiftly.
These statisitics are somewhat experimental/research; trying to quantify this tendency. Please comment below if you think of some additions / modifications that may prove useful.
//Purpose:
-To get statistics of the tendency to 'reach' of the final bar (10minute bar in the above) of the closing hour in Indices (3pm - 4pm NY time).
-Specifically to see how often price reaches for HH or LL in the final bar of the closing hour (most of the time); and to see how far it reaches one way when it does (Mean, median, mode).
//Notes:
-Two sets of historical stats; one is based on the 'solo reach' of the last bar; the other is based on the reach of the last bar from the average price of the preceding bars of the session (purple line in the above)
-Works on any timeframe below hourly. Ideally used on 10min timeframe, but may be interesting to plot on 15min or 5min timeframe also.
-Should also work on custom user-defined session; though this indicator was explicly designed to investigate the 'murder algo': that final rush and/or whipsaw tendency of price in the last few minutes of Regular trading on Indices.
-For S&P, best used on SPX, which gives the longest history of all the S&P variants due to only showing Regular trading hours bars (500 days of history on 10min timeframe, for premium users)
-For most stats, i've rounded to ES1! mintick (i.e. rounded to nearest quarter dollar) =>> This allows more meaningful values for 'mode' statistical measure.
-I trade S&P; but this 'muder algo' phenomenon also obviously presents in Nasdaq and Dow.
//User Inputs:
-Session time input (defaults to closing hour 3pm - 4pm NY time)
-Average method (for the average of all the input session EXCEPT the final bar)
-Toggle on/off Average line.
-other formatting options: text color, table position, line color/style/size.
Example usage with annotations on SPX 500 chart 15m timeframe; using closing hour (3pm-4pm NY time) as our session:
LNL Smart TICKLNL Smart TICK
This study is mostly beneficial for intraday traders. It is basically a user-friendly "colorful" representation of the $TICK chart with highlighted $TICK extremes. This indicator also includes: a simple trend gauge that can visualize the bias for the day, cumulative tick cloud which is showing the cumulative strength of either longs & shorts on the day.
$TICK Trend Gauge
Although it is just a exponential moving average. This average (default set on 20) works quite well as an overall gauge for the day. Whenever the gauge is green (above zero), any negative $TICK values below -500 can offer great pullback opportunities. Same applies for the red gauge. 20 EMA is below zero ? Great time to fade any +500 or +1000 tick readings. Obviously the gauge can be ajdusted to any number based on personal style.
$TICK Extremes (little triangles)
These little triangles are triggered anytime $TICK jumps above or below the pre-set values of +1000 or -1000. By just simply observing the $TICK triangles during the day can tell you how much volaility or pressure there is. Sometimes there will be 20 green triangles and only 2 red ones. That obviously mean there is a strong bearish pressure. But there will be days when you are not going to see any triangles at all which can mean there is either a low volatility or the price is stuck in the indecisive market.
Cumulative $TICK Cloud
Cumulative $TICK by itself is a great study for day traders. It is basically running "counting" $TICK that is adding the previous $TICK values from previous bars. Cumulative $TICK can create a direct picture of the current market sentiment. It is not just a simple green / red line but a cloud that can really show you the depth on the $TICK. Some days, the cloud will be quite wide which is a good sign for the strength to one side, but sometimes the cloud will be so narrow it will practically disappear. This would be telling you the exact opposite - not much conviction to any side. Of course the depth as well as the color of the cloud can change during the day.
$TICK & Cumulative $TICK Tables
By just looking at these tables. You can immidiately tell the state of the current $TICK. They both can be red or green. It all depends whether the values are positive or negative. The tables are just a little visual addition to the whole $TICK study.
Hope it helps.
Quad RSRelative Strength (RS) is an Indicator which measures a Stock's performance as compared to a Benchmark Index or another Stock.
For example: RS will tell you whether “A” is increasing more or less than “B” in any market condition. It is one of the tools which is best suited for Momentum Investing.
How RS can be used as a Momentum Indicator:
RS is used in identifying both the strongest and the weakest stock, or any asset class, within the market. Usually, the stocks which display strong or weak RS over a given time period tend to continue to move in the same direction.
How to calculate Relative Strength:
Divide change of "A" over some time period by the change of a particular index/stock "B" over the same time period.
This indicator oscillates around zero. If the value is greater than zero, "A" has been relatively strong compared to "B", during the selected period; if the value is less than zero, "A" has been relatively weak.
Configuration & Default settings:
The Relative symbol can be Input, default is Nifty50.
Time frame can be set, I recommend setting to Day. Default time frame is set to same as chart.
Four different periods can be set. Default values are 500, 250, 125 & 63. If time frame is set as 'Day', these numbers correspond to 2 years, 1 year, 1/2 year & 1 quarter.
Example chart: NiftyMidCap100 with Quad RS indicator with Nifty50 used as Relative Symbol, Four periods: 500, 250, 125 & 63
Balance Zone ExtensionBalance zones are an aspect of trading that many traders notice. Balance Zones are formed when a market is in equilibrium and respects a certain high and low multiple times. These zones could also be called accumulation or distribution areas depending on the price action. If the term "choppy" is used to describe a given markets price action, it is probably a fair statement to say that the market is currently in a Balance Zone.
This script is a take on vwaptrader1's teachings where you take a balance zone and "double it" to get a target if/when it does break out of balance. It provides an automated way of extending levels based on a given balance range.
The lines plotted by the script are calculated based off of the balance high/low inputs, how many sections are desired per zone, and how many boxes to plot based on the other user inputs.
Warning: Due to a current limitation of the Pine, this script is only allowed to plot up to 500 lines total. If you start to notice lines starting to disappear or you begin getting a script error, double check the input settings as the script may have crossed the 500 line threshold.
This can be used in conjunction with Fixed Range Volume Profile . Select the balance range with the Fixed Volume Profile . Note the Value Area High and Value Area Low prices and input those into the balance range High/Low inputs.
Use to create price targets from Balance Zone Breakouts
A recent example of this idea in action on ticker ES1! 2 hour chart where the balance range was found and the target (double the box size of the balance range) was hit.
Another example of this same concept but on a normal security like AAPL but on a 30 minute chart:
Extending the usefulness even further to crypto on BTCUSD with a 5 minute chart:
Use to create reference levels for future price action
The other way to utilize this is to provide future reference levels from a key balance range from the past.
Here is another example utilizing the AMD daily chart . First, a balance zone was noted for all of 2017:
Moving forward to the most recent price action in 2023, notice that the box extension levels are still fairly well respected almost 6 years later!
Correlation prix [SP500, TESLA, BTCBefore you see this post I want to thank all the TradingView team. Every day that passes I learn better and better to use Pine script and I owe this to all those who publish and to the philosophy of TradingView. Thanks from Amos
This trading indicator compares the prices of the S&P 500 Index (SP500), Tesla (TSLA), and Bitcoin (BTC) to find correlations between them. To make the prices of SP500 and Tesla comparable to the price of Bitcoin, the indicator multiplies the closing price of Tesla by 114 and the closing price of the S&P 500 Index by 5.6.
In this way we can superimpose the prices on the BTC chart and see what happens.
Average BTC price/ tesla price = 114, so if we multiply the tesla price by 114 times we can superimpose it on the BTC price
At average BTC/SPX price = 5.6, also in this case we multiply the price of SPX by 5.6 to overlay the graph and see any correlations.
The indicator then calculates the average price between SP500 and Tesla, using the formula (SP500 + Tesla) / 2. This calculation creates a new line on the chart that represents the average price between these two assets.
The BTC_SP_TE variable is then calculated as the average of the closing price of Bitcoin and the previously calculated average price of SP500 and Tesla, using the formula (Btc + SP_TE) / 2. This calculation creates another line on the chart that represents the average price between Bitcoin and the previously calculated average between SP500 and Tesla.
The idea behind calculating these averages is to find correlations and patterns between the prices of these assets, which can help identify potential trading opportunities. By comparing the average prices of different assets, the trader can look for trends and patterns that might not be apparent when looking at each asset individually.
The indicator plots these prices on a chart and fills the area between them with either green or fuchsia, depending on which one is higher. The strategy suggests buying Bitcoin when the average price of SP500 and Tesla is higher than the current price of Bitcoin, and selling when it is lower.
To add visual cues to the trading strategy, the indicator uses the plotchar function to display a small triangle below the chart when it detects a potential buying opportunity. This is done with the following parameters:
Value: BTC_SP_TE < Btc and Btc > Btc1 and Btc1 > Btc , which is a logical expression that checks whether the average price of SP500 and Tesla is less than the current price of Bitcoin (BTC_SP_TE < Btc), and whether the current price of Bitcoin is higher than the price 10 bars ago (Btc > Btc1 ) and higher than the price on the previous bar (Btc1 > Btc ).
Text: "Moyen BTC_SP_Te", which is the text to display inside the marker.
Symbol: "▲", which is the symbol to use for the marker. In this case, it is a small triangle pointing upwards.
Location: location.belowbar, which specifies that the marker should be placed below the bar.
I hope this is an example of how to create an indicator on TradingView, remember that correlations do not always last, it is possible that when you see the graph this correspondence no longer exists, do your studies and get inspired.
