Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker)
## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture
This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator.
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework.
The system is built on four core pillars:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
- Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones).
- Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances).
2. Smart DCA Strategy
- Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands
- Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts.
3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
- Distribution of volume by price, not by time.
- Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas.
4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring
- Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals.
All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System).
The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal:
- STRONG LONG 🚀
- WEAK LONG ↗
- NEUTRAL / WAIT
- WEAK SHORT ↘
- STRONG SHORT 🩸
This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time.
## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview
### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group
- Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`)
Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF.
- Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`)
- If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed.
- If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price.
- Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`)
Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart:
- `Top Right`
- `Bottom Right`
- `Top Left`
### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group
- Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`)
Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic.
- Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`)
Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points).
- Default value: 5
- Concept:
A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks.
- Increasing `ob_period`:
- Fewer levels.
- But levels tend to be more significant and reliable.
- In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.),
using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels.
- Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`)
Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances).
- Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`)
- Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80).
- Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`)
- Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent red.
- Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`)
- Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow.
- Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`)
- Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple.
### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group
- Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`)
Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels.
- RSI Length (`rsi_len`)
Lookback period for RSI (default: 14).
- Shorter → more sensitive, more noise.
- Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability.
- Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`)
Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20).
- BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`)
Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0).
- For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal.
### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group
- Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`)
Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart.
- Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`)
Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150).
- Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation.
- Row Count (`vp_rows`)
Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30).
- Width (%) (`vp_width`)
Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage.
In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume.
> Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes.
### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group
- Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`)
Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events.
- Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`)
Length of the moving average on volume.
A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA.
## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG)
### 3.1 What Is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone)
The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move.
- Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone)
The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move.
Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior:
- Price moves away from the zone.
- Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders.
- Then continues the larger trend.
In the script:
- If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created.
- If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created.
The box is drawn:
- From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`.
- Between `low ` and `high `.
- `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
- Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter.
### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide
- Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`)
- Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction.
- Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`)
- Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction.
Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area)
When two or more Order Blocks overlap:
- The shared area appears visually denser/stronger.
- This suggests higher order density.
- Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement.
### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine
is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20)
is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20)
- If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score.
- If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score.
This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether:
- Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or
- In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area.
### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
#### Concept
When the market moves aggressively:
- Some price levels are skipped and never traded.
- A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears.
- These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances.
The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often:
- Returns to these zones in the future.
- Fills the gap (rebalance).
- Then resumes its dominant direction.
#### Implementation in the Code
Bullish FVG (Yellow)
fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high
if fvg_bull_cond
box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...)
Core condition:
`low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap.
Bearish FVG (Purple)
fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low
if fvg_bear_cond
box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...)
Core condition:
`high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists.
#### FVG Color Guide
- Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG
Often acts like a magnet for price:
- Price tends to retrace into this zone,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then continue higher.
- Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG
Price tends to:
- Retrace upward into the purple area,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then resume downward movement.
#### Trading with FVGs
- FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals.
They are best used as:
- Targets (take-profit zones), or
- Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal.
Examples:
- If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone.
- If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone.
### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates
#### Reversal Long
1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone).
2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB.
3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced.
4. Entry:
- At the close of the confirmation candle, or
- Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB.
5. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
- If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity.
6. Targets:
- The next FVG,
- Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above.
#### Reversal Short
The mirror scenario:
- Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply).
- A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open).
- FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence.
- Stop-loss goes above the OB.
- Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below.
## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands)
### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept
- Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price.
- Smart DCA = scaling in only when:
- Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and
- The market is in a clear oversold condition.
Code logic:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len)
= ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult)
dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower
dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper
Conditions:
- DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone
- RSI < 30 → oversold.
- Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope.
- DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone
- RSI > 70 → overbought.
- Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean.
### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart
- Green “DCA” Label Below Candle
- Shape: `labelup`.
- Color: lime background, white text.
- Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits.
- Red “SELL” Label Above Candle
- Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition.
- Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management).
- Light Green Background (`bgcolor`)
- When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency).
- This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance.
### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading
#### Spot Trading
Used to build a better average entry price:
- Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%).
- Combining DCA signals with:
- Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or
- The Volume Profile POC
makes the zone structurally more important.
#### Futures Trading
- Longs
- Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when:
- Price is inside a green OB, or
- The Dashboard already leans LONG.
- Shorts
- Use DCA Sell signals as:
- Exit zones for longs, or
- Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs.
## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
### 5.1 Concept
Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time.
Volume Profile shows volume by price level:
- At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred?
- Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)?
- Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)?
### 5.2 Implementation in the Script
Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar:
1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed.
2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range.
3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows).
4. For each row:
- All bars are scanned.
- If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total.
5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row).
6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart.
### 5.3 Color Scheme
- Semi-transparent Orange
- The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC).
- Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective.
- Semi-transparent Blue
- Other volume rows.
- The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band.
### 5.4 Trading Applications
- If price is above POC and retraces back into it:
→ POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups.
- If price is below POC and rallies into it:
→ POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking.
HVNs (Tall Blue Bars)
- Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily.
- Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction.
LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars)
- Represent low participation zones.
- Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves.
## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring
### 6.1 Spring Concept
In the Wyckoff framework:
- A Spring is a false break of support.
- The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses,
then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity.
This movement:
- Clears out weak hands (retail sellers).
- Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions.
- Often initiates a new uptrend.
### 6.2 Code Logic
Conditions for a Spring:
1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars
→ apparent break of a long-standing support.
2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open)
→ the breakdown was rejected.
3. Volume is significantly elevated:
→ `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume).
When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled:
- A pink diamond is plotted below the bar,
- With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system.
### 6.3 Trading Use
- After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase.
- The highest quality setups occur when:
- The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and
- Near or on the Volume Profile POC.
Entries:
- At the close of the Spring bar, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle.
Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer).
## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard
### 7.1 Scoring Logic
For each bar, the script:
1. Resets `score` to 0.
2. Adjusts the score based on different signals.
SMC Contribution
if show_smc
if is_in_demand
score += 1
if is_in_supply
score -= 1
- Being in Demand → `+1`
- Being in Supply → `-1`
DCA Contribution
if show_dca
if dca_buy
score += 2
if dca_sell
score -= 2
- DCA Buy → `+2` (strong, statistically driven long signal)
- DCA Sell → `-2`
Wyckoff Spring Contribution
if show_wyc
if wyc_spring
score += 2
- Spring → `+2` (entry of strong money)
### 7.2 Mapping Score to Dashboard Signal
- score ≥ 2 → STRONG LONG 🚀
Multiple bullish conditions aligned.
- score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗
Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive.
- score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT
Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable.
- score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘
Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays.
- score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸
Convergence of several bearish signals.
### 7.3 Dashboard Structure
The dashboard is a two-column table:
- Row 0
- Column 0: `"Mars Signals"` – black background, white text.
- Column 1: `"UIS v3.0"` – black background, yellow text.
- Row 1
- Column 0: `"Price:"` (light grey background).
- Column 1: current closing price (`close`) with a semi-transparent blue background.
- Row 2
- Column 0: `"SMC:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_smc = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 3
- Column 0: `"DCA:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_dca = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 4
- Column 0: `"Signal:"`
- Column 1: signal text (`status_txt`) with background color `status_col`
(green, red, teal, maroon, etc.)
- If `show_rec = false`, these cells are cleared.

## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook
### 9.1 Timeframe Selection
- Scalping
- Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M
- Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours).
- Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff.
Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise.
- Day Trading
- Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency.
- Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard.
- Swing Trading & Position Investing
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
- Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile.
- SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends.
### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long
Example: 5-Minute Chart
1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand).
2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB.
3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence.
4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀.
5. Entry:
- On the close of the confirmation candle, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle.
6. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
7. Targets:
- Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or
- The next red OB.
### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short
Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H
1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward.
2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply).
3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled.
4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears.
5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸.
Trade Plan
- Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB.
- Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high.
- Targets:
- A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or
- The next green OB (Demand) below.
### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA
Timeframes: Daily / Weekly
1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears:
- Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset.
2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile:
- If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher.
3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases.
4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price.
Exits for investors:
- Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones.
- Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once.
### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute)
- Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD.
- A green OB had previously formed at that level.
- Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present.
- As price returns to this region, a Spring appears.
- The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗.
Plan
- Enter a long near the OB low.
- Place stop below the Spring low.
- First target: a purple FVG around 66,200.
- Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level.
### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H)
- After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase.
- On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints.
- The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level.
- The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀.
Plan
- Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone.
- Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low.
- Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG.
## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning
### 10.1 Risk Management
No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control.
Recommendations:
- In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade.
- Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins).
- Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated:
- Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure.
### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning
- Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs)
- `ob_period`: 3–5.
- `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient.
- Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets)
- `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs.
- `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA.
- `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional
volume spikes.
### 10.3 Trading Psychology
- STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”.
It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average.
- Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making.
- Example of disciplined thinking:
- The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG,
- But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent,
- In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade.
## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ
### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint?
- Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles.
- Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions.
- The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily.
### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile
- On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows.
- On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding.
- If you experience performance issues:
- Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or
- Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`).
### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior
- This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe.
All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only.
- Practical workflow:
- Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily).
- Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits.

ค้นหาในสคริปต์สำหรับ "daily"
Weekday Close vs Open — Last N (per weekday)# Weekday Close vs Open - Last N Occurrences
This indicator distills every weekday's historical open-to-close behavior into a compact table so you can see how "typical" the current session is before the day even closes. It runs independently of your chart timeframe by pulling daily OHLCV data under the hood, tracking the last **N** completed occurrences for each weekday, and refreshing only when a daily bar closes. On daily charts you can also shade every past bar that matches today's weekday (excluding the in-progress session) to reinforce the pattern visually while the table remains non-repainting.
## What It Shows
- **Win/Loss/Tie counts** - how many of the last `N` occurrences closed above the open (wins), below (losses), or inside the tie threshold you define as "flat".
- **Win % heatmap** - the win column is color-coded (deep green > deep red) so you immediately recognize strong or weak weekdays.
- **Advanced metrics (optional)** - average daily volume plus the average percentage excursion above/below the open (`AvgUp%`, `AvgDn%`) for that weekday.
- **Totals row** - aggregates every weekday into one row to estimate overall hit rate and average stats across the entire data set.
- **Weekday shading (optional)** - on daily charts you can tint every bar that matches today's weekday (all Mondays, all Fridays, etc.) for instant pattern recognition.
## How It Works
1. The script requests daily OHLCV data (non-repainting) regardless of the chart timeframe.
2. When a new daily bar confirms, it packs that day's data into one of seven arrays (one per weekday). Each day contributes five floats (O/H/L/C/V) so trimming and statistics stay in lockstep.
3. A helper function (`f_dayMetrics`) scans daily history to compute average volume, average excursion above/below the open, and win/loss/tie counts for the requested weekday.
4. The table populates on the last bar of the chart session, respecting your advanced/totals toggles and keeping text at `size.normal`.
## Reading the Table
- **Win/Loss/Tie columns**: raw counts taken from your chosen `N`.
- **Win %***: excludes ties from the denominator so it reflects only decisive closes.
- **AvgUp% / AvgDn%**: typical intraday extension (high vs open, open vs low) in percent.
- **Avg Vol**: arithmetic mean of daily volume for that weekday.
- **TOTAL row**: provides a global win rate plus volume/up/down averages weighted by how many samples each weekday contributed.
## Practical Uses
- Spot weekdays that historically trend higher or lower before entering a trade.
- Compare current price action against the typical intraday range (`AvgUp%` vs today's move).
- Filter mean-reversion vs breakout setups based on the most reliable weekday patterns.
- Quickly gauge whether today is behaving "in character" by referencing the highlighted row or the optional whole-chart weekday shading.
> **Tip:** Use smaller `N` values (e.g., 10-20) for adaptive, recent behavior and larger values (50+) to capture longer-term seasonality. Tighten the tie threshold if you want almost every candle to register as win/loss, or widen it to focus only on meaningful moves.

3 day look backThis script is designed to help traders visually compare daily liquidity behavior between two correlated assets — for example, the Nasdaq (NQ) and the S&P500 (ES).
It plots each day’s High and Low, aligned from Midnight to Midnight, with a clean session structure. This makes it easier to identify:
SMT (Smart Money Technique) divergences
liquidity grabs
daily highs/lows sweeps
relative strength/weakness between assets
intraday bias shifts based on daily structure
What the script does
Reconstructs each trading day from 00:00 to 00:00, regardless of session irregularities.
Plots the High and Low of every completed day.
Allows users to display as many past days as they want (custom “look-back” parameter).
Automatically merges the weekend with Friday for assets where Saturday/Sunday sessions are fragmented.
Includes a manual midnight offset (–12h to +12h) to fix timezone inconsistencies on TradingView charts (common on futures).
Optional real-time lines for the current day.
No excessive right-side extensions for clean intraday reading.
Why this is useful
When comparing paired assets (e.g., NQ vs ES), liquidity behavior is often different.
This script makes it easy to spot:
when one asset makes a new daily high while the other doesn’t
asymmetrical liquidity sweeps
SMT-based divergence setups
liquidity grabs at daily levels
intraday directional bias shifts
About the other indicators shown on the chart
In the example chart, two additional indicators are used only for clarity and structure:
Day of the Week — displays the weekday on each session for easier orientation.
Vertical Line Timeline — draws a clean separator line between days.
These indicators are not required for this High/Low script to work.
They simply help visually organize sessions and make daily structure easier to read when comparing two assets side by side.
How to use
Open two assets (e.g., NQ1! and ES1!) side by side.
Apply this script on both charts.
Set the same timeframe.
Choose how many days back you want to visualize (look-back parameter).
Observe how each asset interacts with its daily High/Low.
Look for SMT divergences and liquidity-based setups.
Main features
Midnight-to-Midnight alignment
Weekend fusion
Manual offset for perfect timing
Adjustable daily look-back
Clean daily liquidity
Optional dynamic daily levels
Ideal for SMT/liquidity-based intraday trading
Luxy Sector & Industry RS AnalyzerEver wonder why some stocks soar while others in the same sector barely move? Or why your perfectly timed entry still loses money? Possibly the answer can be found in Relative Strength.
The Luxy Sector & Industry RS Analyzer solves a critical problem that most traders overlook: picking strong stocks in strong sectors AND strong industries . It's not enough for a stock to go up - you want stocks that are crushing their competition at both the sector AND industry level. This indicator does the heavy lifting by automatically comparing your stock against its sector ETF, industry ETF, the broader market, sector leader, and industry leader, giving you a complete multi-level picture of relative performance.
What makes this different?
- Automatic sector AND industry detection - no manual setup required
- Multi-level hierarchy analysis: Market → Sector → Industry → Stock
- Multi-timeframe analysis (1 month to 1 year) in one glance
- Industry ETF mapping (30+ industries covered)
- Clear 0-100 scoring system with letter grades (A+ to F)
- Works on stocks, crypto, forex, and commodities
- Real-time updates with anti-repaint protection
Think of it as your performance dashboard - instantly showing you if you're trading a champion or a laggard at every level of the market hierarchy.
METHODOLOGY & ATTRIBUTION
This indicator is based on classical Relative Strength (RS) analysis principles from technical analysis. RS methodology compares an asset's price performance against a benchmark to identify relative outperformance or underperformance. This concept has been used by professional traders and institutions for decades.
Key Concepts Used:
Relative Strength (RS) - Classical technical analysis concept measuring comparative performance
Multi-Level Hierarchy Analysis - Market → Sector → Industry → Stock comparison
Sector Rotation Analysis - Identifying which sectors are leading or lagging the market
Industry Rotation Analysis - Identifying which industries are leading within their sectors
Multi-period Performance Analysis - Evaluating strength across multiple timeframes
Beta Calculation - Standard statistical measure of volatility relative to a benchmark
DISCLAIMER: This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It should not be considered financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Always do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
with all rows visible - capture when stock has strong RS score (70+) so users can see what a "good" setup looks like]
WHAT THE INDICATOR SHOWS
1. AUTOMATIC ASSET TYPE DETECTION
The indicator automatically identifies what you're analyzing and adjusts accordingly:
Stocks - Compares to sector ETF (XLK, XLF, XLV, etc.) and SPY
Crypto - Compares to Total Crypto Market Cap and Bitcoin
Forex - Compares to relevant currency index (DXY, EXY, etc.)
Commodities - Compares to Gold (GLD) as benchmark
Indices - Compares to broader market indices
How it works: The indicator reads your chart's asset type and ticker, then automatically maps it to the correct sector or benchmark. For stocks, it uses intelligent sector detection (looking at the sector field) to match you with the right sector ETF. For example:
- Technology stocks get compared to XLK (Technology Select Sector SPDR)
- Financial stocks get compared to XLF (Financial Select Sector SPDR)
- Healthcare stocks get compared to XLV (Health Care Select Sector SPDR)
This happens instantly when you add the indicator to any chart - no configuration needed.
2. SECTOR & MARKET BENCHMARKS
What is a Sector ETF?
A sector ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks a specific industry group. For example, XLK contains all major technology companies. By comparing your stock to its sector ETF, you can see if your stock is outperforming or underperforming its peers.
The indicator shows three key comparison points:
Stock vs Sector (Benchmark)
This tells you how your stock performs compared to companies in the same industry. Positive numbers mean your stock is beating the sector average. Negative numbers mean it's lagging behind.
Stock vs Market (SPY)
This shows performance against the broader S&P 500 index. This is important because even if a stock beats its sector, the entire sector might be weak. You want stocks that beat both their sector AND the market.
Sector vs Market
This reveals "sector rotation" - whether money is flowing into or out of this sector. When this number is positive, the whole sector is hot and leading the market. This is powerful because strong sectors tend to lift all boats, making it easier to find winners.
3. MULTI-PERIOD PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The indicator calculates performance across four timeframes simultaneously:
1 Month (1M) - Recent short-term momentum
3 Months (3M) - Medium-term trend strength
6 Months (6M) - Longer-term positioning
1 Year (1Y) - Full-cycle performance view
Why multiple periods matter:
A stock might look great over 1 month but terrible over 6 months - that's a red flag. The best stocks show consistent strength across all timeframes . When you see positive RS (Relative Strength) values across all four periods, you've found a stock with sustained outperformance.
Each row in the table shows:
- Raw performance percentage for that period
- RS value (the difference compared to benchmark)
- Color coding: Green for positive, red for negative, white for neutral
4. SECTOR LEADER COMPARISON
The indicator automatically identifies and compares your stock to the sector leader - the dominant stock in that industry.
Sector leaders by industry:
Technology: Apple (AAPL)
Healthcare: UnitedHealth (UNH)
Financial: JPMorgan Chase (JPM)
Energy: ExxonMobil (XOM)
Consumer Discretionary: Amazon (AMZN)
Consumer Staples: Walmart (WMT)
And more...
Why this matters:
Comparing to the leader shows you if you're trading a champion or a follower. If your stock consistently beats the sector leader, you've found something special. If it's lagging the leader, you might want to trade the leader instead.
Optional Custom Leader:
You can override the automatic leader and compare to any stock you choose. This is useful if you want to benchmark against a specific competitor or reference stock.
NEW! INDUSTRY ANALYSIS (STOCKS ONLY)
The indicator now provides multi-level analysis by automatically detecting and comparing your stock to its specific industry , not just the broad sector.
Why Industry matters:
Technology sector (XLK) contains many different industries: Software, Semiconductors, Hardware, etc. A software stock might beat the broad tech sector but lag behind other software companies. Industry analysis provides this granular view.
Industry ETF Mapping (30+ industries):
Software/Applications: IGV (iShares Software ETF)
Semiconductors: SMH (VanEck Semiconductor ETF)
Biotech: IBB (iShares Biotechnology ETF)
Pharmaceuticals: XPH (SPDR Pharmaceuticals ETF)
Banks: KBE (SPDR S&P Bank ETF)
Regional Banks: KRE (SPDR Regional Banking ETF)
Oil & Gas Exploration: XOP (SPDR Oil & Gas Exploration ETF)
Homebuilders: XHB (SPDR Homebuilders ETF)
Retail: XRT (SPDR S&P Retail ETF)
Aerospace & Defense: ITA (iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF)
And many more...
Industry Leader Mapping:
The indicator also identifies the leader within each industry:
Software: Microsoft (MSFT)
Semiconductors: NVIDIA (NVDA)
Biotech: Amgen (AMGN)
Pharmaceuticals: Eli Lilly (LLY)
Banks: JPMorgan (JPM)
Oil Exploration: ConocoPhillips (COP)
And more...
New Table Rows for Stocks:
Industry ETF Performance - How the specific industry performed (green background)
Industry Leader Performance - How the top stock in the industry performed
vs Industry RS - Your stock's outperformance vs its industry ETF
Industry vs Sector RS - Is this industry hot or cold within its sector?
vs Industry Leader RS - Your stock's performance vs the industry's best
Why this is powerful:
A stock that beats both its sector AND its industry is showing strength at every level. This indicates true relative strength, not just riding sector-wide momentum.
Optional Custom Industry:
You can override automatic detection for both Industry ETF and Industry Leader in settings.
5. RS SCORE & GRADING SYSTEM (0-100)
The heart of the indicator is the RS Score - a weighted calculation that distills all the performance data into one clear number from 0 to 100.
How the score is calculated:
FOR STOCKS (with Industry data):
The indicator splits the weight between Sector (60%) and Industry (40%):
SECTOR RS (60% of total weight):
1 Month RS: 24% weight (40% × 0.6)
3 Month RS: 18% weight (30% × 0.6)
6 Month RS: 12% weight (20% × 0.6)
1 Year RS: 6% weight (10% × 0.6)
INDUSTRY RS (40% of total weight):
1 Month RS: 16% weight (40% × 0.4)
3 Month RS: 12% weight (30% × 0.4)
6 Month RS: 8% weight (20% × 0.4)
1 Year RS: 4% weight (10% × 0.4)
FOR OTHER ASSETS (Crypto, Forex, Commodities):
Uses full 100% weight on benchmark:
1 Month RS: 40% weight
3 Month RS: 30% weight
6 Month RS: 20% weight
1 Year RS: 10% weight
It starts at 50 (neutral) and adds or subtracts points based on your asset's relative strength in each period.
Bonus points:
+5 points if the sector is outperforming the market (sector rotation is bullish)
+5 points if the industry is outperforming its sector (hot industry) - STOCKS ONLY
+5 points if RS momentum is improving (getting stronger over time)
-5 points if RS momentum is declining (getting weaker)
The final score is capped between 0-100.
Letter Grade System:
90-100: A+ - Elite performer, crushing the sector
85-89: A - Excellent, strong outperformer
80-84: A- - Very good, above average
75-79: B+ - Good, solid performer
70-74: B - Above average, decent strength
65-69: B- - Slightly above average
60-64: C+ - Average, neutral strength
55-59: C - Below average
50-54: C- - Weak, slight underperformance
45-49: D+ - Concerning weakness
40-44: D - Poor, significant underperformance
0-39: F - Failing, avoid this stock
What scores mean for trading:
- RS Score above 70: Strong stocks worth considering for long positions
- RS Score 50-70: Average stocks, better opportunities elsewhere
- RS Score below 50: Weak stocks, avoid or consider for shorts
6. CONSISTENCY SCORE
This metric shows what percentage of time periods show positive RS .
For STOCKS (with Industry data):
Counts both Sector RS periods AND Industry RS periods (up to 8 total periods):
- If a stock beats both sector and industry in all 4 periods each: Consistency = 100% (8/8)
- If it beats in 6 out of 8 total periods: Consistency = 75%
- If it beats in 4 out of 8 total periods: Consistency = 50%
For OTHER ASSETS:
Counts benchmark periods only (4 total):
- If it beats benchmark in all 4 periods (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y): Consistency = 100%
- If it beats in 3 out of 4 periods: Consistency = 75%
- If it beats in 2 out of 4 periods: Consistency = 50%
Why consistency matters:
A high RS Score with low consistency might indicate a recent spike that could fade. The best stocks show both high RS Score AND high consistency - they're strong now AND have been strong historically at both the sector AND industry level.
Look for stocks with:
Consistency above 75%: Very reliable strength across all levels
Consistency 50-75%: Decent but check other metrics
Consistency below 50%: Weak or erratic, proceed with caution
7. BETA CALCULATION (Volatility Measure)
Beta measures how much more volatile your stock is compared to its sector.
Beta > 1.2 : High volatility - stock moves more aggressively than sector (marked as "High")
Beta 0.8-1.2 : Normal volatility - moves roughly in line with sector
Beta < 0.8 : Low volatility - stock is more stable than sector (marked as "Low")
Formula used:
Beta = Correlation(Stock, Sector) × (Standard Deviation of Stock / Standard Deviation of Sector)
This uses a 20-period calculation for reliability.
How to use Beta:
- High Beta stocks offer bigger gains but also bigger risks - good for aggressive traders
- Low Beta stocks are more defensive - good for conservative positions
- Match Beta to your risk tolerance and strategy
8. DAYS ABOVE/BELOW SECTOR
This tracks consecutive periods (bars) where your stock outperforms or underperforms its sector.
Days Above Sector:
Counts how many bars in a row your stock has beaten the sector.
10+ days: Strong sustained strength (shown in bright green)
5-9 days: Building momentum (shown in yellow)
1-4 days: Early strength (shown in white)
0 days: Not currently outperforming
Days Below Sector:
Counts how many bars in a row your stock has lagged the sector.
10+ days: Sustained weakness (shown in bright red)
5-9 days: Losing momentum (shown in orange)
1-4 days: Minor weakness (shown in white)
0 days: Not underperforming (this is good!)
Why this matters:
Long streaks show trend persistence. A stock with 15+ days above sector is riding strong momentum. A stock with 15+ days below sector is in a sustained downtrend relative to peers.
9. PRICE VS 52-WEEK HIGH
Shows where current price sits relative to its 52-week high (or equivalent for your timeframe).
95%+ (green) : Stock is near all-time highs - strong positioning
80-94% (yellow) : Stock is in a pullback but still relatively strong
Below 80% : Stock has pulled back significantly from highs
Why this matters:
The strongest stocks stay near their highs. When you see a stock with high RS Score AND price near 52W high, you've found a stock with institutional support and strong buying pressure.
10. RELATIVE VOLUME
Compares current volume to the 20-period average volume.
1.5x+ (green) : High volume - significant interest and participation
Around 1.0x : Average volume - normal trading activity
Below 1.0x : Low volume - less interest or inactive period
Why volume matters:
High relative volume confirms price moves. When a stock makes a strong move on 2x or 3x normal volume, it's more likely to sustain. Low volume moves are often just noise.
11. AVERAGE RS STRENGTH
This calculates the average absolute value of all RS readings across the four timeframes.
It shows the magnitude of divergence from the sector, regardless of direction. A high number means the stock moves very differently from its sector (could be much stronger or much weaker). A low number means it tracks closely with the sector.
High Average RS: Stock has strong character, moves independently
Low Average RS: Stock follows sector closely, lacks individual strength
12. SECTOR ROTATION SIGNAL
This indicator automatically detects when a sector is experiencing bullish rotation - meaning money is flowing into the sector and it's outperforming the broader market.
Condition for bullish rotation:
Sector must be beating SPY (market) in both 1-month AND 3-month periods.
Why this matters:
Stocks in hot sectors tend to perform better because they have tailwinds from sector-wide buying. When sector rotation is bullish and your stock has a high RS Score, you've found an ideal setup.
The indicator adds +5 bonus points to the RS Score when sector rotation is bullish.
13. MOMENTUM DETECTION
The indicator compares 1-month RS to 3-month RS to detect if momentum is improving or declining.
RS Momentum Improving: 1M RS is better than 3M RS - stock is getting stronger (adds +5 to score)
RS Momentum Declining: 1M RS is worse than 3M RS - stock is getting weaker (subtracts -5 from score)
Why momentum matters:
You want to catch stocks as momentum is building, not after it's already peaked. Improving momentum suggests the strength is accelerating, not fading.
14. OVERALL ASSESSMENT & RECOMMENDATION
The indicator provides two quick summary rows:
Overall Rating:
Based on grade and RS Score, you get an instant quality rating:
Strong Leader (A/A+) - Top tier stock, crushing it
Above Average (A-/B+) - Solid performer, better than most
Average (B/B-) - Middle of the pack
Below Average (C/C+) - Struggling, watch carefully
Underperformer (D/F) - Weak stock, underperforming badly
Trading Signal:
Combines multiple factors to give setup quality:
STRONG BUY SETUP - RS Score 70+, Consistency 75+, AND sector rotation bullish. This is the perfect storm - strong stock, consistent strength, hot sector.
BULLISH - RS Score 60+, Consistency 50+. Good quality stock worth considering.
NEUTRAL - RS Score 50+. Okay but not exciting, better opportunities exist.
WEAK - RS Score 40-49. Below average, risky.
AVOID - RS Score below 40. Stay away, too weak.
IMPORTANT: These are educational signals only, not financial advice. Always do your own analysis and risk management.

Fixed: 1 Hour, 4 Hours, Daily, Weekly - Forces calculations to specific timeframe
This means you can be on a 5-minute chart but analyze RS on Daily timeframe if you prefer.
5. RS SCORE FILTERING
Set a minimum RS Score threshold to only see strong stocks:
Set to 0 - Shows all stocks
Set to 70 - Only displays stocks with RS Score 70+ (strong stocks only)
Warning message displays if stock doesn't meet threshold
Perfect for screening - quickly scan multiple charts and the indicator only shows tables for stocks that pass your quality filter.

Compare to any ticker you choose
Benchmark against specific competitors
Use your own reference stocks
7. COMPREHENSIVE TOOLTIPS
Every input parameter and every table row has detailed tooltips explaining:
What the metric measures
How to interpret the values
What thresholds indicate strength/weakness
Why it matters for trading
Hover over any element to learn - it's like having a trading coach built in.
8. SMART ALERTS
Built-in alert system for key events:
Divergence Alerts:
Get notified when your stock diverges significantly from its sector.
Bullish Divergence: Stock beating sector by threshold percentage
Bearish Divergence: Stock losing to sector by threshold percentage
Set your threshold (default 5%) - this determines how big a divergence triggers the alert.
RS Score Alerts:
Get notified when RS Score crosses your threshold:
Crossed Above: RS Score went from below to above your threshold (bullish)
Crossed Below: RS Score dropped from above to below threshold (bearish)
Set your threshold (default 70) to focus on strong stocks.
Sector Rotation Alert:
Fires when sector shows bullish rotation (outperforming market).
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
FOR SWING TRADERS:
1. Add indicator to your watchlist stocks
2. Look for RS Score 70+ with Consistency 75%+
3. Check if sector rotation is bullish (bonus!)
4. Verify price is near 52W high (95%+)
5. Wait for entry setup on your chart
6. Use stop loss below key support
Example Setup:
Stock shows:
- RS Score: 82 (Grade: A-)
- Consistency: 100% (strong across all periods)
- Sector Rotation: Bullish
- Price vs 52W High: 96%
- Days Above Sector: 12 days
- Relative Volume: 1.8x
This is a textbook strong stock in a hot sector near highs - ideal for swing long.
FOR POSITION TRADERS:
1. Focus on 6-month and 1-year RS values
2. Look for sustained outperformance (Consistency 75%+)
3. Prefer lower Beta stocks (less volatility)
4. Check Days Above Sector for trend persistence
5. Monitor RS Score monthly, exit if drops below 60
FOR ACTIVE TRADERS:
1. Use on intraday timeframes (1H or 4H)
2. Set RS Score filter to 60+ for quick screening
3. Enable Divergence Alerts
4. Watch for momentum improving signal
5. Higher Beta stocks offer more movement
FOR SHORT SELLERS:
1. Look for RS Score below 40 (Grade: D or F)
2. Check for declining momentum
3. Verify Days Below Sector is increasing (10+)
4. Sector rotation should be bearish
5. Price should be well off 52W high
WHAT MAKES A PERFECT SETUP:
The holy grail combination:
RS Score: 75+ (A- or better)
Consistency: 80%+ (strong across time - beats sector AND industry)
Sector Rotation: Bullish (hot sector)
Industry vs Sector: Positive (hot industry within sector)
Days Above Sector: 10+ (sustained strength)
Momentum: Improving (getting stronger)
Price vs 52W High: 90%+ (near highs)
Relative Volume: 1.5x+ (volume confirmation)
When you find this combination, you've located a stock with every advantage in its favor - strong at the stock level, industry level, AND sector level. That's multi-level confirmation of relative strength.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Data Reliability:
All calculations use lookahead=off for anti-repaint protection
Historical values will never change
Real-time indicator toggle only affects the visual clock icon, not data reliability
All security requests are properly configured to prevent future data leakage
Sector Mapping Notes:
Sector detection uses TradingView's sector field
Some stocks may not have sector data - indicator will adapt
Sector ETFs used: XLK, XLF, XLV, XLE, XLY, XLP, XLI, XLB, XLRE, XLU, XLC
Major market ETFs (SPY, QQQ, DIA) are treated as market benchmarks, not stocks
Multi-Asset Notes:
Crypto compares to CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL (total crypto market cap)
Forex compares to relevant currency index based on base currency
Commodities compare to Gold (GLD) as primary commodity benchmark
Custom leaders can be set for any asset type
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does RS Score of 75 actually mean?
A: It means your stock is strongly outperforming its sector across multiple timeframes. The score is weighted toward recent performance (1-month gets 40% weight), so 75 indicates sustained relative strength with emphasis on current momentum.
Q: My stock has high RS Score but is going down. Why?
A: RS Score measures relative performance (vs sector/market), not absolute price direction. A stock can fall 5% while its sector falls 10% - that's still positive relative strength. In bear markets or sector corrections, high RS stocks often fall less than peers.
Q: Should I only trade stocks with RS Score above 70?
A: For long positions, yes - focus on 70+ scores. These stocks have proven they can beat their sector. However, for pairs trading or relative value plays, you might also short stocks with scores below 40 while longing stocks above 70.
Q: What if my stock doesn't have a sector?
A: The indicator handles this gracefully. If no sector is detected, it will compare directly to the market (SPY for stocks). Some rows may show N/A, but the indicator will still provide useful market-relative data.
Q: Why does the sector sometimes show N/A?
A: This happens when: 1) Your asset has no sector classification, 2) The stock IS the sector ETF itself, 3) You're analyzing a non-stock asset (crypto, forex, commodity). The indicator adapts by focusing on market-relative metrics instead.
Q: Can I use this on cryptocurrencies?
A: Yes! The indicator automatically detects crypto and compares to the Total Crypto Market Cap (CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL). You can also set a custom leader like Bitcoin (BTCUSD) to compare against the dominant crypto.
Q: What's the difference between RS Score and Consistency?
A: RS Score is the weighted average of how much you're beating the sector (magnitude). Consistency is what percentage of time periods show outperformance (reliability). You want both high - that means strong AND consistent.
Q: Do the alerts repaint?
A: No. All alerts fire only on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) and use properly configured data with lookahead=off. Once an alert fires, it's final and won't change.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
A: For swing trading: Daily or Weekly. For day trading: 1H or 4H. For position trading: Weekly. Use "Chart Timeframe" mode and switch your chart timeframe to change the analysis period easily.
Q: Why is Days Above Sector showing 0?
A: This means your stock is not currently outperforming its sector. If Days Below Sector is also 0, it means the RS is exactly neutral (very rare). Check the actual RS values to see current standing.
Q: Can I compare to a different market benchmark than SPY?
A: Currently the indicator uses SPY (S&P 500) as the default US stock market benchmark. For crypto it uses CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL, for forex it uses currency indices, etc. The benchmark auto-adjusts based on asset type.
Q: What's a good Beta value?
A: It depends on your strategy. Aggressive traders prefer Beta above 1.2 (more volatility = bigger moves). Conservative traders prefer Beta 0.8-1.0 (more stable). Beta is neutral - it's about matching your risk tolerance.
Q: How often does the table update?
A: With Real-time Indicator enabled: Every tick (constant updates). With it disabled: Only on bar close. Either way, the underlying data is identical and non-repainting - the toggle only affects update frequency and the clock icon display.
Q: My stock is showing "AVOID" but it's up 50% this year. Is the indicator wrong?
A: Not necessarily. The indicator measures RELATIVE performance. If your stock is up 50% but the sector is up 100%, your stock is actually underperforming by 50%. The indicator helps you identify when you should switch to stronger stocks in the same sector.
Q: What does "Strong Buy Setup" really mean?
A: It means three things aligned: 1) RS Score above 70 (strong stock), 2) Consistency above 75% (reliable strength), 3) Sector rotation is bullish (hot sector). This combination historically correlates with stocks that continue outperforming. However, this is NOT financial advice - always do your own analysis.
Q: Can I use this for options trading?
A: Yes! High RS Score stocks make good candidates for call options (bullish bets) while low RS Score stocks may work for puts (bearish bets). Higher Beta stocks will have more volatile options (higher premiums but more movement).
Q: Why is my crypto showing N/A for sector?
A: Cryptocurrencies don't have "sectors" like stocks do. Instead, the indicator compares crypto to the total crypto market cap. This is normal and expected behavior.
Q: What happens if I'm analyzing an ETF?
A: If you're analyzing a sector ETF (like XLK), it will compare to SPY (market). If you're analyzing SPY itself, some comparisons won't be available (can't compare SPY to itself). The indicator intelligently adapts to avoid circular comparisons.
Q: What if my stock doesn't have industry data?
A: Not all stocks are mapped to specific industries (only 30+ major industries are covered). If no industry is detected, the indicator will still work using only sector analysis. The RS Score calculation will use 100% sector weight instead of the 60%/40% split.
Q: Why does Industry vs Sector matter?
A: Industry vs Sector shows if your specific industry is hot or cold within its broader sector. For example, Semiconductors (SMH) might be outperforming Technology sector (XLK) even though both are up. This helps you find not just strong sectors, but the strongest industries within those sectors.
Q: Can I disable Industry analysis?
A: Yes! In the "Industry Analysis" settings group, you can toggle off "Show Industry Analysis in Table" to hide all industry rows. However, even when hidden, industry data still contributes to the RS Score calculation for stocks.
Q: Why is my Consistency Score lower for stocks than other assets?
A: For stocks with industry data, Consistency counts 8 periods (4 Sector + 4 Industry periods) instead of just 4. This means the bar is higher - your stock needs to beat both sector AND industry consistently. A stock that beats sector in all 4 periods but lags industry in 2 periods will show 75% consistency (6/8), not 100%.
BEST PRACTICES
Use as a screening tool - Set RS Score filter to 70+ and quickly scan your watchlist. Only strong stocks will show the table.
Combine with technical analysis - RS Score tells you WHAT to trade, your chart tells you WHEN to enter.
Check multiple timeframes - Switch between Daily and Weekly to see if strength holds across different time horizons.
Monitor sector rotation - When sector goes from bearish to bullish rotation, it's often a great time to enter stocks in that sector.
Watch Industry vs Sector - Stocks in hot industries within hot sectors have double tailwinds. Prioritize Industry vs Sector positive values.
Pay attention to consistency - High RS Score with low consistency might be a spike that fades. Look for 70%+ consistency across BOTH sector and industry.
Use the leader comparison - If your stock consistently beats both sector leader AND industry leader, you may have found the next champion.
Watch days above/below sector - Long streaks (15+ days) indicate strong trends. Look for these in conjunction with high RS Score.
Set alerts on key stocks - Enable RS Score alerts at 70 threshold to get notified when watchlist stocks become strong.
Consider Beta for position sizing - Size smaller positions in high Beta stocks, larger in low Beta stocks for balanced risk.
Exit when RS Score drops - If a stock's RS Score falls below 60, consider reducing or exiting - the strength may be fading.
Leverage industry-level insight - If Industry ETF is weak but stock is strong, that's standout strength. If Industry is hot but stock is lagging, consider switching to the industry leader instead.

WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOESN'T DO
To set proper expectations:
Does NOT provide entry/exit signals - this is a strength analyzer, not a trading system
Does NOT predict future price movement - shows current and historical relative strength
Does NOT guarantee profits - strong RS stocks can still decline
Does NOT replace your own analysis - use as one tool among many
Does NOT work on stocks with no sector data - will adapt but some rows show N/A
This indicator is a decision support tool . It helps you identify which stocks are showing relative strength so you can make more informed trading decisions. You still need your own entry strategy, risk management, and position sizing rules.

FINAL REMINDER
This indicator is a tool for analyzing relative strength - it shows you which stocks are outperforming their sector and market. It does NOT provide financial advice or trade signals. Always conduct your own research, manage your risk appropriately, and consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
Past performance of relative strength does not guarantee future results. Strong stocks can become weak, and sectors rotate in and out of favor. Use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not as a standalone decision-making system.
Trade smart, manage risk, and may your RS Scores stay high!

signal4 = lib.TSI(close, 25, 13, 13)
// Custom consensus
customConsensus = math.avg(signal1, signal2, signal3, signal4)
plot(customConsensus, "Custom Consensus", color.blue)
Example 3: Asset-Specific Strategy Switching
pinescriptimport unicorpusstocks/NormalizedIndicators/1 as lib
// Automatically use the right calibration
signal = switch syminfo.ticker
"BTCUSD" => lib.btc_4d_cal(close)
"ETHUSD" => lib.eth_4d_cal(close)
"SOLUSD" => lib.sol_4d_cal(close)
"QQQ" => lib.qqq_4d_cal(close)
=> lib.virtual_4d_cal(close) // Default
plot(signal, "Auto-Calibrated Signal", color.orange)
Example 4: Correlation-Filtered Trading
pinescriptimport unicorpusstocks/NormalizedIndicators/1 as lib
// Only trade when strong correlation with market exists
spy = request.security("SPY", timeframe.period, close)
correlation = lib.MCorrelation(close, spy)
trendSignal = lib.virtual_1d_cal(close)
// Only signals with positive market correlation
tradeBuy = trendSignal > 0.5 and correlation > 0.5
tradeSell = trendSignal < -0.5 and correlation > 0.5
Example 5: Beta-Adjusted Position Sizing
pinescriptimport unicorpusstocks/NormalizedIndicators/1 as lib
spy = request.security("SPY", timeframe.period, close)
beta = lib.assetBeta(close, spy)
// Adjust position size based on Beta
basePositionSize = 100
adjustedSize = basePositionSize / beta // Less size with high Beta
// Use with calibrated signal
signal = lib.qqq_4d_cal(close)
🎯 Choosing the Right Calibration
Decision Tree
1. What asset are you trading?
Bitcoin → btc_4d_cal()
Ethereum/ERC-20 → eth_4d_cal()
Solana → sol_4d_cal()
Solana memes → sol_meme_4d_cal()
SUI ecosystem → sui_cal()
BASE ecosystem → base_cal()
Meme coins (any chain) → meme_cal()
QQQ/Tech indices → qqq_4d_cal()
Other/General → virtual_4d_cal() or virtual_1d_cal()
2. What timeframe?
Most calibrations are optimized for 4D (4-day) or 1D (daily)
For other timeframes, start with virtual calibrations and adjust
3. What's the asset's volatility?
High volatility (memes, new tokens) → Use meme_cal() or similar
Medium volatility (established alts) → Use specific calibrations
Low volatility (BTC, major indices) → Use btc_4d_cal() or qqq_4d_cal()

⚠️ Important Notes
General Usage
All indicators are lagging, as is typical for trend-following indicators
Signals should be combined with additional analysis (volume, support/resistance, etc.)
Backtesting is recommended before starting live trading with these signals
Different assets and timeframes may require different parameter optimizations
Pre-Calibrated Systems
Calibrations are optimized for specific timeframes - using them on different timeframes may reduce effectiveness
Market conditions change - what worked historically may need adjustment
Pre-calibrations are starting points, not guaranteed solutions
Always validate performance on your specific use case
Consider current market regime (trending vs. ranging)
Risk Management
Meme coin calibrations are designed for extremely volatile assets - use appropriate position sizing
Pre-calibrated systems do not eliminate risk
Always use stop losses and proper risk management
Past performance does not guarantee future results
Customization
Pre-calibrations can serve as templates for your own optimizations
Feel free to adjust individual parameters within calibration functions
Test modifications thoroughly before live deployment

MTF Checklist DashboardMTF Checklist Dashboard
Overview
The MTF Checklist Dashboard is an advanced multi-timeframe analysis tool that provides traders with a comprehensive visual dashboard to analyze market conditions across six customizable timeframes simultaneously. This indicator combines multiple technical analysis methods, including Opening Range Breakouts (ORB), VWAP, EMAs, and daily price levels, to generate high-probability confluence-based trading signals.
Unlike traditional single-timeframe indicators, this dashboard displays all critical information in one organized table, allowing traders to instantly identify when multiple timeframes align for optimal entry and exit opportunities.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Analyzes up to 6 timeframes simultaneously (default: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h)
Fully customizable timeframe selection via comma-separated input
Color-coded cells for instant visual recognition (green=bullish, red=bearish, yellow=neutral)
Technical Indicators Tracked
Current and previous candle direction
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) positioning with custom period
VWAP relationship (above/below)
200 EMA positioning
Daily and previous day high/low proximity
EMA crossovers (9 vs 21, both vs 200)
Advanced Signal Filtering System
Confluence scoring: Requires multiple timeframes to align (3-6 timeframes)
Higher timeframe confirmation: Ensures 30m/1h/4h agreement
Volume filter: Confirms signals with above-average volume (1.5x default)
ATR volatility filter: Validates sufficient market movement
Session timing: Restricts signals to optimal trading hours (EST)
Momentum confirmation: Requires recent directional strength
Range positioning: Blocks signals near daily extremes
Candle strength: Validates strong directional candles (60%+ body ratio)
Visual Signals
Optional entry arrows (above/below bars)
Background color highlighting
Organized dashboard with real-time price levels
ORB range, current day, and previous day summary rows
Alert Conditions
JSON-formatted alerts for automated trading integration
Separate alerts for long entry, short entry, long exit, and short exit
Compatible with webhook automation systems
How To Use
Dashboard Interpretation
The dashboard displays a color-coded table with the following columns:
TF: Timeframe being analyzed
C: Current candle (Green=bullish, Red=bearish)
P: Previous candle (Green=bullish, Red=bearish)
ORB: Opening Range Breakout position (A=Above, B=Below, W=Within)
VWAP: Price vs VWAP (A=Above, B=Below)
E200: Price vs 200 EMA (A=Above, B=Below)
D Hi/Lo: Proximity to current day high/low (Hi/Lo/Mid)
PD Hi/Lo: Proximity to previous day high/low (Hi/Lo/Mid)
9 vs 21: EMA 9 vs EMA 21 relationship (A=9 above 21, B=9 below 21)
9&21 v200: Both EMAs vs 200 EMA (>>=both above, <<=both below, <>=mixed)
Signal Generation
Long Entry Signal triggers when:
Minimum number of timeframes show bullish alignment (default: 5 of 6)
Higher timeframes (30m/1h/4h) confirm direction (default: 2 of 3)
Price breaks above ORB high with sufficient distance
Volume exceeds average by specified multiplier
ATR shows adequate volatility
Trade occurs during optimal session hours
Recent momentum is upward
Price not too close to daily high
Strong bullish candle forms
Short Entry Signal uses opposite conditions
Exit Signals trigger when opposing timeframe confluence reaches threshold (default: 3 timeframes)
Recommended Workflow
Select your asset and primary trading timeframe
Observe the dashboard - Look for rows showing mostly green (bullish) or red (bearish)
Wait for alignment - The indicator will show arrows when confluence requirements are met
Check the bottom rows - Review ORB levels and daily ranges for context
Set alerts - Enable TradingView alerts using the built-in alert conditions
Manage risk - Use appropriate position sizing and stop losses based on ORB range or daily ATR

Best Practices
Start with default settings and adjust based on your trading style and asset volatility
Higher confluence requirements (5-6 timeframes) produce fewer but higher-quality signals
Enable all filters for conservative trading; disable some for more frequent signals
Use the dashboard as confirmation alongside your existing trading strategy
Backtest on your specific instruments before live trading
Consider market conditions—trending vs ranging markets may require different settings
Alerts
This indicator includes four alert conditions with JSON formatting for webhook integration:
Long Entry Signal: Triggers when all long conditions are met
Short Entry Signal: Triggers when all short conditions are met
Long Exit Signal: Triggers when opposing confluence reaches exit threshold
Short Exit Signal: Triggers when opposing confluence reaches exit threshold
Alert messages include ticker symbol, action (buy/sell), price, and quantity for automated trading systems.
Important Notes
This indicator works best on liquid instruments with clear price action
Highly volatile markets may require adjusted ATR and ORB distance settings
Session times are in EST timezone—adjust if trading non-US markets
The ORB calculation requires sufficient price history for the day
Signals are generated in real-time but should be confirmed at candle close
Limitations
Maximum of 6 timeframes can be analyzed due to TradingView's security call limits
ORB calculations may not work correctly on instruments with gaps or irregular sessions
The indicator is most effective during regular market hours when volume and volatility are adequate
Lower timeframes (1m, 5m) may produce more false signals in choppy conditions

Day Open ± Ø DailyRangeScript Function Description
This indicator draws two horizontal dashed lines during the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session.
The upper line is calculated as the RTH Open price plus the average daily range (based on the last 10 days).
The lower line is calculated as the RTH Open price minus the average daily range.
🔍 How it works
Average Daily Range (ADR): The script requests daily candles and computes the 10‑day simple moving average of the daily range (High–Low). This value remains constant throughout the trading day.
RTH Detection: The script identifies the first bar of the RTH session (e.g., 09:00 local exchange time). The open price of this bar is stored as the RTH Open.
Line Creation: At the first RTH bar, two dashed lines are drawn:
Green line above the RTH Open (Open + ADR).
Red line below the RTH Open (Open – ADR).
Dynamic Extension: As new bars appear, the lines are automatically extended to the current bar, keeping their Y‑values constant. This ensures the levels remain visible throughout the session.
✅ What Users See
A green dashed line above the RTH Open, marking the typical upside boundary.
A red dashed line below the RTH Open, marking the typical downside boundary.
Both lines start at the first RTH bar and extend to the latest bar of the session.
This helps traders quickly assess whether price action is staying within or breaking beyond the typical daily range relative to the RTH Open.

macd sma20
### MACD_sma20 – Multi-Timeframe MACD Pullback & SMA20 Dashboard
This script is a complete trading toolkit built around a **MACD pullback strategy** combined with **multi-timeframe SMA20 filters**, volume analysis, and a compact information panel.
It is designed for traders who like to:
* Trade **MACD pullbacks above the moving average**
* Track **key SMA20 levels across multiple timeframes** (Daily, 3-Day, Weekly, Monthly)
* Quickly see whether **current price is above or below those reference levels**
* Use **clean visual signals** for entries and exits, instead of staring at raw indicator values
---
### Core Features
#### 1. MACD Pullback Long Signal (Green Triangle Up)
The script detects a **bullish MACD pullback** pattern:
* MACD line is still **above** the signal line
* Both MACD line and histogram **pull back** for several bars
* Then MACD turns back up again, with price trading **above the local SMA20**
When this “pullback and re-acceleration” is confirmed, a **green triangle below the bar** is plotted as a **long entry signal**.
There is also an optional filter:
* **Weekly SMA20 filter**:
If enabled, long signals are only triggered when **current price is above the Weekly SMA20**, helping you stay on the right side of the higher-timeframe trend.
---
#### 2. Bearish Pullback Confirmation Signal (Red Triangle Down)
On the short side, the script detects a **bearish pullback confirmation** based on:
* A recent **high-volume bearish candle** (large down bar with volume above a multiple of the 20-period volume average)
* At least a minimum number of **negative MACD histogram bars**
* MACD line moving closer to the signal line (loss of momentum)
* Price recovering back up near the **top of that high-volume bearish candle**, then starting to fall again while MACD stays positive
When all conditions align, the script prints a **red triangle above the bar**, indicating a **bearish pullback confirmation** – often a good area to take profits on longs or consider short/hedge setups.
---
#### 3. Signal History Tracking
For both long and short signals, the script internally tracks the **most recent three signals**:
* Timestamp of the signal
* Price at the signal
* Short-term percentage change into the signal
This is mainly for internal use and future expansion, but already gives you a structured signal history if you want to extend or connect the logic later.
---
### Multi-Timeframe SMA20 Dashboard (Bottom-Right Panel)
One of the most useful parts of this script is the **compact dashboard table** in the **bottom-right corner** of the chart. It updates in real time and shows:
1. **Current Price**
2. **Daily SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
3. **3-Day SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
4. **Weekly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
5. **Monthly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
6. **RSI** (current timeframe)
For each timeframe’s SMA20:
* If **price ≥ SMA20**, the status cell is **green** with a ✓
* If **price < SMA20**, the status cell is **red** with a ✗
This gives you, at a glance:
* Is the market in a **short-term uptrend or downtrend** (Daily SMA20)?
* Is the **swing / position trend** healthy (3D & Weekly SMA20)?
* Is the broader **macro structure** supportive (Monthly SMA20)?
You don’t need to manually switch timeframes or add multiple moving averages – the script does all of that for you automatically using `request.security`.
---
### Alerts
The script comes with two built-in alert conditions:
* **MACD回踩转多信号 (MACD pullback bullish signal)**
* **空头回抽确认信号 (Bearish pullback confirmation signal)**
You can attach TradingView alerts to these conditions to get notified whenever a new long or bearish-confirmation setup appears, even when you’re not watching the chart.
---
### How to Use It in Your Trading
1. **Choose your main trading timeframe**
* For intraday swing: 15m / 1h / 4h
* For swing / position: 4h / Daily
2. **Watch the bottom-right SMA20 panel**
* If most higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are **green**, you are trading **with the larger trend**.
* If they are **mixed or mostly red**, you’re either counter-trend or in a choppy transition zone.
3. **Use the green MACD pullback signals**
* Prefer long setups when:
* The **Weekly and Monthly SMA20 rows are green**, and
* The signal appears **above the Daily SMA20**
* This stacks multiple edges: trend + pullback + momentum re-acceleration.
4. **Use the red bearish confirmation signals for risk management**
* Take partial profits on longs when a red signal appears near resistance.
* Consider hedge/short opportunities if higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are already red or turning red.
5. **Use RSI as a context indicator**
* Combine with overbought/oversold zones or your own RSI thresholds for additional confirmation.
---
### Why This Script Is Useful
* **Trend awareness across timeframes**:
You always know where current price sits relative to the Daily / 3-Day / Weekly / Monthly SMA20 – without switching charts.
* **Clear, rule-based signals**:
The MACD logic is explicit and systematic, focused on **pullbacks within trends** rather than random crossovers.
* **Volume-aware bearish logic**:
High-volume bearish candles often mark important supply zones. The script builds this idea directly into the short-side confirmation logic.
* **Visual and intuitive**:

Top-line % MovesOverview
A clean, text-only overlay that shows price momentum at a glance. It prints one line at the top-center of your chart:
Movement | Day % | 3-Day % | Wk %
What it shows
Day - Percent change from today’s regular-session open to the latest price
3-Day - Percent change from the daily open 3 trading days ago
Wk - Percent change from the daily open 5 trading days ago
How it works
Pulls daily opens via request.security so it stays consistent across intraday and daily timeframes
Calculates percent moves versus those opens and renders a single centered text line
Transparent background, bright white text, no bars or lines, minimal chart footprint
Notes
“Wk” uses 5 trading days. If you prefer 7 calendar days, change the lookback to your preference
Daily opens follow the symbol’s TradingView session settings. Extended or 24h markets may differ from your broker’s definition of “open”

TraderDemircan Auto Fibonacci RetracementDescription:
What This Indicator Does:This indicator automatically identifies significant swing high and swing low points within a customizable lookback period and draws comprehensive Fibonacci retracement and extension levels between them. Unlike the manual Fibonacci tool that requires you to constantly redraw levels as price action evolves, this automated version continuously updates the Fibonacci grid based on the most recent major swing points, ensuring you always have current and relevant support/resistance zones displayed on your chart.Key Features:
Automatic Swing Detection: Continuously scans the specified lookback period to find the most significant high and low points, eliminating manual drawing errors
Comprehensive Level Coverage: Plots 16 Fibonacci levels including 7 retracement levels (0.0 to 1.0) and 9 extension levels (1.115 to 3.618)
Top-Down Methodology: Draws from swing high to swing low (right-to-left), following the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention where 100% is at the top
Dual Labeling System: Shows both exact price values and Fibonacci percentages for easy reference
Complete Customization: Individual toggle controls and color selection for each of the 16 levels
Flexible Display Options: Adjust line thickness (1-5), style (solid/dashed/dotted), and extension direction (left/right/both)
Visual Swing Markers: Red diamond at the swing high (starting point) and green diamond at the swing low (ending point)
Optional Trend Line: Connects the two swing points to visualize the overall price movement direction
How It Works:The indicator employs a sophisticated swing point detection algorithm that operates in two stages:Stage 1 - Find the Swing Low (Support Base):
Scans the entire lookback period to identify the lowest low, which becomes the anchor point (0.0 level in traditional retracement terms, though displayed at the bottom of the grid).Stage 2 - Find the Swing High (Resistance Peak):
After identifying the swing low, searches for the highest high that occurred after that low point, establishing the swing range. This creates a valid price movement range for Fibonacci analysis.Fibonacci Calculation Method:
The indicator uses the top-down approach where:
1.0 Level = Swing High (100% retracement, the top)
0.0 Level = Swing Low (0% retracement, the bottom)
Retracement Levels (0.236 to 0.786) = Potential support zones during pullbacks from the high
Extension Levels (1.115 to 3.618) = Potential target zones below the swing low
Formula: Price = SwingHigh - (SwingHigh - SwingLow) × FibonacciLevelThis ensures that 0.0 is at the bottom and extensions (>1.0) plot below the swing low, following standard Fibonacci retracement convention.Fibonacci Levels Explained:Retracement Levels (0.0 - 1.0):
0.0 (Gray): Swing low - the base support level
0.236 (Red): Shallow retracement, first minor support
0.382 (Orange): Moderate retracement, commonly watched support
0.5 (Purple): Psychological midpoint, significant support/resistance
0.618 (Blue - Golden Ratio): The most important retracement level, high-probability reversal zone
0.786 (Cyan): Deep retracement, last defense before full reversal
1.0 (Gray): Swing high - the initial resistance level
Extension Levels (1.115 - 3.618):
1.115 (Green): First extension, minimal downside target
1.272 (Light Green): Minor extension, common profit target
1.414 (Yellow-Green): Square root of 2, mathematical significance
1.618 (Gold - Golden Extension): Primary downside target, most watched extension level
2.0 (Orange-Red): 200% extension, psychological round number
2.382 (Pink): Secondary extension target
2.618 (Purple): Deep extension, major target zone
3.272 (Deep Purple): Extreme extension level
3.618 (Blue): Maximum extension, rare but powerful target
How to Use:For Retracement Trading (Buying Pullbacks in Uptrends):
Wait for price to make a significant move up from swing low to swing high
When price starts pulling back, watch for reactions at key Fibonacci levels
Most common entry zones: 0.382, 0.5, and especially 0.618 (golden ratio)
Enter long positions when price shows reversal signals (candlestick patterns, volume increase) at these levels
Place stop loss below the next Fibonacci level
Target: Return to swing high or higher extension levels
For Extension Trading (Profit Targets):
After price breaks below the swing low (0.0 level), use extensions as profit targets
First target: 1.272 (conservative)
Primary target: 1.618 (golden extension - most commonly reached)
Extended target: 2.618 (for strong trends)
Extreme target: 3.618 (only in powerful trending moves)
For Counter-Trend Trading (Fading Extremes):
When price reaches deep retracements (0.786 or below), look for exhaustion signals
Watch for divergences between price and momentum indicators at these levels
Enter reversal trades with tight stops below the swing low
Target: 0.5 or 0.382 levels on the bounce
For Trend Continuation:
In strong uptrends, shallow retracements (0.236 to 0.382) often hold
Use these as low-risk entry points to join the existing trend
Failure to hold 0.5 suggests weakening momentum
Breaking below 0.618 often indicates trend reversal, not just retracement
Multi-Timeframe Strategy:
Use daily timeframe Fibonacci for major support/resistance zones
Use 4H or 1H Fibonacci for precise entry timing within those zones
Confluence between multiple timeframe Fibonacci levels creates high-probability zones
Example: Daily 0.618 level aligning with 4H 0.5 level = strong support
Settings Guide:Lookback Period (10-500):
Short (20-50): Captures recent swings, more frequent updates, suited for day trading
Medium (50-150): Balanced approach, good for swing trading (default: 100)
Long (150-500): Identifies major market structure, suited for position trading
Higher values = more stable levels but slower to adapt to new trends
Pivot Sensitivity (1-20):
Controls how many candles are required to confirm a swing point
Low (1-5): More sensitive, identifies minor swings (default: 5)
High (10-20): Less sensitive, only major swings qualify
Use higher sensitivity on lower timeframes to filter noise
Individual Level Toggles:
Enable only the levels you actively trade to reduce chart clutter
Common minimalist setup: Show only 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.618
Comprehensive setup: Enable all levels for maximum information
Visual Customization:
Line Thickness: Thicker lines (3-5) for presentation, thinner (1-2) for trading
Line Style: Solid for primary levels (0.5, 0.618, 1.618), dashed/dotted for secondary
Price Labels: Essential for knowing exact entry/exit prices
Percent Labels: Helpful for quickly identifying which Fibonacci level you're looking at
Extension Direction: Extend right for forward-looking analysis, left for historical context
What Makes This Original:While Fibonacci indicators are common on TradingView, this script's originality comes from:
Intelligent Two-Stage Detection: Unlike simple high/low finders, this uses a sequential approach (find low first, then find the high that occurred after it), ensuring logical price flow representation
Comprehensive Level Set: Includes 16 levels spanning from retracement to extreme extensions, more than most Fibonacci tools
Top-Down Methodology: Properly implements the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention (high to low) rather than the reverse
Automatic Range Validation: Only draws Fibonacci when both swing points are valid and in the correct temporal order
Dual Extension Options: Separate controls for extending lines left (historical context) and right (forward projection)
Smart Label Positioning: Places percentage labels on the left and price labels on the right for clarity
Visual Swing Confirmation: Diamond markers at swing points help users understand why levels are positioned where they are
Important Considerations:
Historical Nature: Fibonacci retracements are based on past price swings; they don't predict future moves, only suggest potential support/resistance
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Fibonacci levels work partly because many traders watch them, creating actual support/resistance at those levels
Not All Levels Hold: In strong trends, price may slice through multiple Fibonacci levels without pausing
Context Matters: Fibonacci works best when aligned with other support/resistance (previous highs/lows, moving averages, trendlines)
Volume Confirmation: The most reliable Fibonacci reversals occur with volume spikes at key levels
Dynamic Updates: The levels will redraw as new swing highs/lows form, so don't rely solely on static screenshots
Best Practices:
Don't Trade Blindly: Fibonacci levels are zones, not exact prices. Look for confirmation (candlestick patterns, indicators, volume)
Combine with Price Action: Watch for pin bars, engulfing candles, or doji at key Fibonacci levels
Use Stop Losses: Place stops beyond the next Fibonacci level to give trades room but limit risk
Scale In/Out: Consider entering partial positions at 0.5 and adding more at 0.618 rather than all-in at one level
Check Multiple Timeframes: Daily Fibonacci + 4H Fibonacci convergence = high-probability zone
Respect the 0.618: This golden ratio level is historically the most reliable for reversals
Extensions Need Strong Trends: Don't expect extensions to be hit unless there's clear momentum beyond the swing low
Optimal Timeframes:
Scalping (1-5 minutes): Lookback 20-30, watch 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 only
Day Trading (15m-1H): Lookback 50-100, all retracement levels important
Swing Trading (4H-Daily): Lookback 100-200, focus on 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and extensions
Position Trading (Daily-Weekly): Lookback 200-500, all levels relevant for long-term planning
Common Fibonacci Trading Mistakes to Avoid:
Wrong Swing Selection: Choosing insignificant swings produces meaningless levels
Premature Entry: Entering as soon as price touches a Fibonacci level without confirmation
Ignoring Trend: Fighting the main trend by buying deep retracements in downtrends
Over-Reliance: Using Fibonacci in isolation without confirming with other technical factors
Static Analysis: Not updating your Fibonacci as market structure evolves
Arbitrary Lookback: Using the same lookback period for all assets and timeframes
Integration with Other Tools:Fibonacci + Moving Averages:
When 0.618 level aligns with 50 or 200 EMA, confluence creates stronger support
Price bouncing from both Fibonacci and MA simultaneously = high-probability trade
Fibonacci + RSI/Stochastic:
Oversold indicators at 0.618 or deeper retracements = strong buy signal
Overbought indicators at swing high (1.0) = potential reversal warning
Fibonacci + Volume Profile:
High-volume nodes aligning with Fibonacci levels create robust support/resistance
Low-volume areas near Fibonacci levels may see rapid price movement through them
Fibonacci + Trendlines:
Fibonacci retracement level + ascending trendline = double support
Breaking both simultaneously confirms trend change
Technical Notes:
Uses ta.lowest() and ta.highest() for efficient swing detection across the lookback period
Implements dynamic line and label arrays for clean redraws without memory leaks
All calculations update in real-time as new bars form
Extension options allow customization without modifying core code
Format.mintick ensures price labels match the symbol's minimum price increment
Tooltip on swing markers shows exact price values for precision

Suggested workflow
1) What the script does at a glance
Pulls a list of up to 15 tickers, computes a simple momentum score on each over a configurable lookback, then volatility-scales their bar-to-bar return stream to a target annualized volatility.
Ranks assets by raw momentum, selects the top 3 and bottom 3, builds positions according to the chosen mode, and gates exposure with a fast regime filter.
Accumulates a portfolio equity curve with risk and performance metrics, optional benchmark buy-and-hold for comparison, and a full alert suite.
Adds visual diagnostics: performance attribution bars, Monte Carlo forward paths, an allocation pie, and scatter plots for risk-return and factor views.
2) Momentum: definition, detection, and validation
Momentum is the tendency of assets that have performed well to continue to perform well, and of underperformers to continue underperforming, over a specific horizon. You operationalize it by selecting a horizon, defining a signal, ranking assets, and trading the leaders versus laggards subject to risk constraints.
Signal choices . Common signals include cumulative return over a lookback window, regression slope on log-price, or normalized rate-of-change. This script uses cumulative return over lookback bars for ranking (variable cr = price/price - 1). It keeps the ranking simple and lets volatility targeting handle risk normalization.
How to know momentum is present .
Leaders and laggards persist across adjacent windows rather than flipping every bar.
Spread between average momentum of leaders and laggards is materially positive in sample.
Cross-sectional dispersion is non-trivial. If everything is flat or highly correlated with no separation, momentum selection will be weak.
Your validation should include a diagnostic that measures whether returns are explained by a momentum regression on the timeseries.
Recommended diagnostic tool . Before running any momentum portfolio, verify that a timeseries exhibits stable directional drift. Use this indicator as a pre-check: It fits a regression to price, exposes slope and goodness-of-fit style context, and helps confirm if there is usable momentum before you force a ranking into a flat regime.
3) Volatility targeting: purpose and implementation here
Purpose . Volatility targeting seeks a more stable risk footprint. High-vol assets get sized down, low-vol assets get sized up, so each contributes more evenly to total risk.
Computation in this script (per asset, rolling):
Return series ret = log(price/price ).
Annualized volatility estimate vol = stdev(ret, lookback) * sqrt(tradingdays).
Leverage multiplier volMult = clamp(targetVol / vol, 0.1, 5.0).
This caps sizing so extremely low-vol assets don’t explode weight and extremely high-vol assets don’t go to zero.
Scaled return stream sr = ret * volMult. This is the per-bar, risk-adjusted building block used in the portfolio combinations.
Interpretation . You are not levering your account on the exchange, you are rescaling the contribution each asset’s daily move has on the modeled equity. In live trading you would reflect this with position sizing or notional exposure.
4) Portfolio construction modes
Cross-sectional ranking . Assets are sorted by cr over the chosen lookback. Top and bottom indices are extracted without ties.
Long Only . Averages the volatility-scaled returns of the top 3 assets: avgRet = mean(sr_top1, sr_top2, sr_top3). Position table shows per-asset leverages and weights proportional to their current volMult.
Short Only . Averages the negative of the volatility-scaled returns of the bottom 3: avgRet = mean(-sr_bot1, -sr_bot2, -sr_bot3). Position table shows short legs.
Delta Neutral . Long the top 3 and short the bottom 3 in equal book sizes. Each side is sized to 50 percent notional internally, with weights within each side proportional to volMult. The return stream mixes the two sides: avgRet = mean(sr_top1,sr_top2,sr_top3, -sr_bot1,-sr_bot2,-sr_bot3).
Notes .
The selection metric is raw momentum, the execution stream is volatility-scaled returns. This separation is deliberate. It avoids letting volatility dominate ranking while still enforcing risk parity at the return contribution stage.
If everything rallies together and dispersion collapses, Long Only may behave like a single beta. Delta Neutral is designed to extract cross-sectional momentum with low net beta.
5) Regime filter
A fast EMA(12) vs EMA(21) filter gates exposure.
Long Only active when EMA12 > EMA21. Otherwise the book is set to cash.
Short Only active when EMA12 < EMA21. Otherwise cash.
Delta Neutral is always active.
This prevents taking long momentum entries during obvious local downtrends and vice versa for shorts. When the filter is false, equity is held flat for that bar.
6) Transaction cost modelling
There are two cost touchpoints in the script.
Per-bar drag . When the regime filter is active, the per-bar return is reduced by fee_rate * avgRet inside netRet = avgRet - (fee_rate * avgRet). This models proportional friction relative to traded impact on that bar.
Turnover-linked fee . The script tracks changes in membership of the top and bottom baskets (top1..top3, bot1..bot3). The intent is to charge fees when composition changes. The template counts changes and scales a fee by change count divided by 6 for the six slots.
Use case: increase fee_rate to reflect taker fees and slippage if you rebalance every bar or trade illiquid assets. Reduce it if you rebalance less often or use maker orders.
Practical advice .
If you rebalance daily, start with 5–20 bps round-trip per switch on liquid futures and adjust per venue.
For crypto perp microcaps, stress higher cost assumptions and add slippage buffers.
If you only rotate on lookback boundaries or at signals, use alert-driven rebalances and lower per-bar drag.
7) Backtest metrics and definitions
The script computes a standard set of portfolio statistics once the start date is reached.
Net Profit percent over the full test.
Max Drawdown percent, tracked from running peaks.
Annualized Mean and Stdev using the chosen trading day count.
Variance is the square of annualized stdev.
Sharpe uses daily mean adjusted by risk-free rate and annualized.
Sortino uses downside stdev only.
Omega ratio of sum of gains to sum of losses.
Gain-to-Pain total gains divided by total losses absolute.
CAGR compounded annual growth from start date to now.
Alpha, Beta versus a user-selected benchmark. Beta from covariance of daily returns, Alpha from CAPM.
Skewness of daily returns.
VaR 95 linear-interpolated 5th percentile of daily returns.
CVaR average of the worst 5 percent of daily returns.
Benchmark Buy-and-Hold equity path for comparison.
8) Performance attribution
Cumulative contribution per asset, adjusted for whether it was held long or short and for its volatility multiplier, aggregated across the backtest. You can filter to winners only or show both sides. The panel is sorted by contribution and includes percent labels.
9) Monte Carlo simulation
The panel draws forward equity paths from either a Normal model parameterized by recent mean and stdev, or non-parametric bootstrap of recent daily returns. You control the sample length, number of simulations, forecast horizon, visibility of individual paths, confidence bands, and a reproducible seed.
Normal uses Box-Muller with your seed. Good for quick, smooth envelopes.
Bootstrap resamples realized returns, preserving fat tails and volatility clustering better than a Gaussian assumption.
Bands show 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th percentiles and the path mean.
10) Scatter plot analysis
Four point-cloud modes, each plotting all assets and a star for the current portfolio position, with quadrant guides and labels.
Risk-Return Efficiency . X is risk proxy from leverage, Y is expected return from annualized momentum. The star shows the current book’s composite.
Momentum vs Volatility . Visualizes whether leaders are also high vol, a cue for turnover and cost expectations.
Beta vs Alpha . X is a beta proxy, Y is risk-adjusted excess return proxy. Useful to see if leaders are just beta.
Leverage vs Momentum . X is volMult, Y is momentum. Shows how volatility targeting is redistributing risk.
11) Asset allocation pie chart
Builds a wheel of current allocations.
Long Only, weights are proportional to each long asset’s current volMult and sum to 100 percent.
Short Only, weights show the short book as positive slices that sum to 100 percent.
Delta Neutral, 50 percent long and 50 percent short books, each side leverage-proportional.
Labels can show asset, percent, and current leverage.
12) Inputs and quick presets

Crypto Daily, Delta Neutral . Lookback 25, Target Vol 50 percent, Fees 15–25 bps, Regime filter always active for this mode. Use Scatter Risk-Return to monitor efficiency and keep the star near upper left quadrants without drifting rightward.
Equities Daily, Long Only . Lookback 60–120, Target Vol 15–20 percent, Fees 5–10 bps, Regime filter on. Use Benchmark SPX and watch Alpha and Beta to keep the book from becoming index beta.
13) Suggested workflow
Universe sanity check . Pick liquid tickers with stable data. Thin assets distort vol estimates and fees.
Check momentum existence . Run on your timeframe. If slope and fit are weak, widen lookback or avoid that asset or timeframe.
Set risk budget . Choose a target volatility that matches your drawdown tolerance. Higher target increases turnover and cost sensitivity.
Pick mode . Long Only for bull regimes, Short Only for sustained downtrends, Delta Neutral for cross-sectional harvesting when index direction is unclear.
Tune lookback . If leaders rotate too often, lengthen it. If entries lag, shorten it.
Validate cost assumptions . Increase fee_rate and stress Monte Carlo. If the edge vanishes with modest friction, refine selection or lengthen rebalance cadence.
Run attribution . Confirm the strategy’s winners align with intuition and not one unstable outlier.
Use alerts . Enable position change, drawdown, volatility breach, regime, momentum shift, and crash alerts to supervise live runs.
Important implementation details mapped to code
Momentum measure . cr = price / price - 1 per symbol for ranking. Simplicity helps avoid overfitting.
Volatility targeting . vol = stdev(log returns, lookback) * sqrt(tradingdays), volMult = clamp(targetVol / vol, 0.1, 5), sr = ret * volMult.
Selection . Extract indices for top1..top3 and bot1..bot3. The arrays rets, scRets, lev_vals, and ticks_arr track momentum, scaled returns, leverage multipliers, and display tickers respectively.
Regime filter . EMA12 vs EMA21 switch determines if the strategy takes risk for Long or Short modes. Delta Neutral ignores the gate.
Equity update . Equity multiplies by 1 + netRet only when the regime was active in the prior bar. Buy-and-hold benchmark is computed separately for comparison.
Tables . Position tables show current top or bottom assets with leverage and weights. Metric table prints all risk and performance figures.
Visualization panels . Attribution, Monte Carlo, scatter, and pie use the last bars to draw overlays that update as the backtest proceeds.
Final notes
Momentum is a portfolio effect. The edge comes from cross-sectional dispersion, adequate risk normalization, and disciplined turnover control, not from a single best asset call.
Volatility targeting stabilizes path but does not fix selection. Use the momentum regression link above to confirm structure exists before you size into it.
Always test higher lag costs and slippage, then recheck metrics, attribution, and Monte Carlo envelopes. If the edge persists under stress, you have something robust.
VWAP Trend
**Overview**
The VWAP Trend indicator is a volume-weighted price analysis tool that visualizes the relationship between price and the anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over different timeframes. This script is designed to reveal when the market is trending above or below its volume-weighted equilibrium point, providing a clear framework for identifying directional bias, trend strength, and potential reversals.
By combining an anchored VWAP with exponential smoothing and a secondary trend EMA, the indicator helps traders distinguish between short-term price fluctuations and genuine volume-supported directional moves.
**Core Concept**
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents the average price of an asset weighted by traded volume. It reflects where the majority of trading activity has taken place within a chosen period, serving as a critical reference level for institutions and professional traders.
This indicator extends the traditional VWAP concept by:
1. Allowing users to **anchor VWAP to different timeframes** (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
2. Applying **smoothing** to create a stable reference curve less prone to noise.
3. Overlaying a **trend EMA** to identify whether current price momentum aligns with or diverges from VWAP equilibrium.
The combination of these elements produces a visual representation of price’s relationship to its fair value across time, helping to identify accumulation and distribution phases.
**Calculation Methodology**
1. **Anchored VWAP Calculation:**
The script resets cumulative volume and cumulative volume–price data at the start of each new VWAP session (based on the selected anchor timeframe). It continuously accumulates the product of price and volume, dividing this by total volume to compute the current VWAP value.
2. **Smoothing Process:**
The raw VWAP line is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of user-defined length, producing a cleaner, more stable trend curve that minimizes intraperiod noise.
3. **Trend Determination:**
An additional EMA is calculated on the closing price. By comparing the position of this EMA to the smoothed VWAP, the indicator determines the prevailing market bias:
* When the trend EMA is above the smoothed VWAP, the market is considered to be in an **uptrend**.
* When the trend EMA is below the smoothed VWAP, the market is classified as a **downtrend**.
**Visual Structure**
The indicator uses color dynamics and chart overlays to make interpretation intuitive:
* **Smoothed VWAP Line:** The main trend reference, colored blue during bullish conditions and orange during bearish conditions.
* **Price Fill Region:** The area between the smoothed VWAP and price is filled with a translucent color matching the current trend, visually representing whether price is trading above or below equilibrium.
* **Trend EMA (implicit):** Although not separately plotted, it drives the color state of the VWAP, ensuring seamless visual transitions between bullish and bearish conditions.
**Inputs and Parameters**
* **VWAP Timeframe:** Choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly anchoring. This determines the reset frequency for cumulative volume and price data.
* **VWAP Smoothing Length:** Defines how many periods are used to smooth the VWAP line. Shorter values produce a more reactive line; longer values create smoother, steadier signals.
* **Trend EMA Length:** Sets the period for the trend detection EMA applied to price. Adjust this to calibrate how quickly the indicator reacts to directional changes.
**Interpretation and Use Cases**
* **Trend Confirmation:** When price and the trend EMA both remain above the smoothed VWAP, the market is showing strong bullish control. Conversely, consistent price action below the VWAP suggests sustained bearish sentiment.
* **Fair Value Assessment:** VWAP serves as a dynamic equilibrium level. Price repeatedly reverting to this line indicates consolidation or fair value zones, while strong directional moves away from VWAP highlight momentum phases.
* **Institutional Benchmarking:** Because large market participants often benchmark entries and exits relative to VWAP, this indicator helps align retail analysis with institutional logic.
* **Reversal Detection:** Sudden crossovers of the trend EMA relative to the VWAP can signal potential reversals or shifts in momentum strength.
**Trading Applications**
* **Trend Following:** Use VWAP’s direction and color state to determine trade bias. Long entries are favored when the VWAP turns blue, while short entries align with orange phases.
* **Mean Reversion:** In ranging conditions, traders may look for price deviations far above or below VWAP as potential reversion opportunities.
* **Multi-Timeframe Confluence:** Combine the Daily VWAP Trend with higher anchor periods (e.g., Weekly or Monthly) to confirm larger trend structure.
* **Support and Resistance Mapping:** VWAP often acts as a strong intraday or session-level support/resistance zone. The smoothed version refines this behavior into a cleaner, more reliable reference.
**Originality and Innovation**
The VWAP Trend indicator stands apart from conventional VWAP scripts through several original features:
1. **Anchor Flexibility:** Most VWAP indicators fix the anchor to a specific session (like daily). This version allows switching between Daily, Weekly, and Monthly anchors dynamically, adapting to various trading styles and time horizons.
2. **Volume-Weighted Smoothing:** The use of an EMA smoothing layer over the raw VWAP provides enhanced stability without compromising responsiveness, delivering a more analytically consistent signal.
3. **EMA-Based Trend Comparison:** By introducing a second trend EMA, the indicator creates a comparative framework that merges volume-weighted price analysis with classical momentum tracking — a rare and powerful combination.
4. **Adaptive Visual System:** The color-shifting and shaded fill between VWAP and price are integrated into a single, lightweight structure, giving traders immediate insight into market bias without the clutter of multiple overlapping indicators.
**Advantages**
* Adaptable to any market, timeframe, or trading style.
* Provides both equilibrium (VWAP) and momentum (EMA) perspectives.
* Smooths out noise while retaining the integrity of volume-based price dynamics.
* Enhances situational awareness through intuitive color-coded visualization.
* Ideal for professional, swing, and intraday traders seeking context-driven market direction.
**Summary**
The VWAP Trend indicator is a modern enhancement of the classical VWAP methodology. By merging anchored volume-weighted analysis with smoothed trend detection and visual state feedback, it provides a comprehensive perspective on market equilibrium and directional strength. It is built for traders who seek more than static price references — offering an adaptive, volume-aware framework for identifying market trends, reversals, and fair-value zones with precision and clarity.

Bull Bear Indicator# Bull Bear Indicator - TradingView Script Description
## Overview
The Bull Bear Indicator is a powerful visual tool that instantly identifies market sentiment by coloring all candlesticks based on their position relative to a moving average. This indicator helps traders quickly identify bullish and bearish market conditions at a glance.
## Key Features
### 🎨 Visual Bull/Bear Identification
- **Green Candles**: Price is at or above the moving average (Bullish condition)
- **Red Candles**: Price is below the moving average (Bearish condition)
- Complete candle coloring including body, wicks, and borders for maximum clarity
### 📊 Flexible Moving Average Options
- **MA Type**: Choose between Simple Moving Average (MA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
- **Timeframe**: Select Weekly or Daily timeframe for the moving average calculation
- **Customizable Period**: Adjust the MA/EMA period (default: 50)
### 📈 Smooth Moving Average Line
- Displays a smooth blue moving average line on the chart
- Automatically adapts to your selected timeframe and MA type
- Provides clear visual reference for trend identification
## How It Works
The indicator calculates a moving average (MA or EMA) based on your selected timeframe (Weekly or Daily). It then compares the current price to this moving average:
- **Bull Market**: When price ≥ Moving Average → Candles turn **GREEN**
- **Bear Market**: When price < Moving Average → Candles turn **RED**
## Configuration Options
1. **MA Type**: Choose "MA" for Simple Moving Average or "EMA" for Exponential Moving Average
2. **Timeframe**: Select "Weekly" for weekly-based MA or "Daily" for daily-based MA
3. **MA Period**: Set the number of periods for the moving average calculation (default: 50)
## Use Cases
- **Trend Identification**: Quickly identify overall market trend direction
- **Entry/Exit Signals**: Use color changes as potential entry or exit signals
- **Multi-Timeframe Analysis**: Combine with different chart timeframes for comprehensive analysis
- **Visual Clarity**: Reduce chart clutter while maintaining essential trend information
## Best Practices
- Use Weekly MA for longer-term trend identification
- Use Daily MA for shorter-term trend analysis
- Combine with other technical indicators for confirmation
- Adjust the MA period based on your trading style and timeframe
## Technical Details
- Built with Pine Script v6
- Overlay indicator (displays on main chart)
- Optimized for performance

SevenDayHighLowTableWithBoxes [CHE]SevenDayHighLowTableWithBoxes — Seven-day day-range boxes with a weekday-aware “ghost” projection and a compact table that tracks recent extremes and per-weekday hit rates.
Summary
This indicator visualizes each trading day as a colored box and annotates the final high and low with compact markers. It maintains a rolling seven-day view and a five-column table showing day name, high, low, range, and a per-weekday projection hit statistic. A dashed “ghost” box projects a typical range for the current weekday using a running average and an adjustable scaling factor. The script is written in Pine v6, runs on the main chart (overlay true), and emphasizes stable object handling and closed-bar finalization at day boundaries.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday traders often need fast context for where today’s price sits relative to recent daily extremes, without switching timeframes. A simple daily high/low overlay is informative but lacks structure, sizing context, and continuity. By grouping bars into local days (configurable UTC offset), drawing explicit boxes, and projecting a weekday-typical range, the chart becomes easier to scan. The compact table gives a quick audit trail of the latest seven days while tracking how often the weekday projection would have covered the realized range.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Plain daily high/low lines or session boxes without context.
Architecture differences:
Weekday-tinted boxes and labels for today plus up to six prior days.
Weekday average range drives a dashed projection (“ghost”) sized by a user-defined percentage.
Per-weekday hit statistics recorded as hits over totals and displayed in the table.
ATR-based vertical offsets keep labels readable.
Live updates intraday; state is finalized at the local day switch.
Practical effect: The chart shows where current price sits inside a known daily envelope, plus how “typical” the day’s movement is for this weekday, aiding expectations and planning.
How it works (technical)
The script computes a local daily timestamp using the user’s UTC offset. A day change finalizes the prior day, writes its high, low, start and end indices, and records the bar indices of the terminal high and low.
For each weekday, it maintains a running average of realized ranges with a cap on the lookback count. The ghost projection length is the weekday average scaled by the user’s percentage setting.
Anchor selection for the ghost uses the most recent extreme and the close relative to the intraday midpoint to choose a low-anchored or high-anchored box.
A five-column table (Day, High, Low, Range, Ghost OK) is refreshed on the last bar. The “Ghost OK” column shows per-weekday cumulative hits over totals with a percentage, calculated before including the just-finished day.
Object counts are bounded to seven days by pruning arrays and deleting old boxes and labels. Visual updates for historical objects occur on the last bar to minimize overhead. No `security()` calls are used.

Reading & Interpretation
Day boxes: The filled rectangle marks each day’s full high-low span; color encodes the weekday.
Markers: Small dots near the terminal high and low highlight where the final extremes occurred.
Ghost box: A dashed box sized by the weekday average range, anchored based on recent behavior. It is a typical span, not a target.
Table: Row one shows “Today”. Rows below list up to six prior days. “Ghost OK” shows per-weekday cumulative hits over totals with a percentage, which reflects historical coverage quality for that weekday.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use the current box plus recent boxes to read expansion or compression days; combine with basic structure such as higher-highs and higher-lows or lower-lows and lower-highs for confirmation.
Exits and risk: When price nears the ghost boundary late in the session, consider managing exposure more conservatively.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Works on minute charts. As a starting point, use five to less than sixty minutes. For cross-checks, pair with a higher timeframe bias filter.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: The indicator updates intraday; extremes and ghost position can move while the day is open. Values are finalized on the next local day start.
HTF/security: None used; repaint risk is limited to live-bar movement.
Resources: `max_bars_back` five thousand; arrays are pruned to seven days; the table and color sync run on the last bar; the live ghost updates only in real time.
Known limits: Weekday averages can be unrepresentative during regime shifts, events, or gaps. Day boundaries depend on the UTC offset being set correctly. No alerts are included. The script displays warning labels when the timeframe is below five minutes or at sixty minutes and above.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the defaults.
Ghost too aggressive: Lower the percent scale.
Labels overlap: Increase ATR multipliers.
Clutter or performance issues: Hide the table or boxes, or disable the ghost.
Day boundary misaligned: Adjust the UTC offset to your market.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and context layer for daily extremes and a weekday-based typical span. It does not predict direction, does not manage orders, and is not a complete trading system. Use it alongside market structure, risk controls, and position management.

SRD
SRD v11 - Multi-Timeframe Volume Profile (POC, VAH, VAL)
Key Features
Dual Timeframe Analysis:
📈 Main Analysis (Daily): Calculates and displays the most significant levels based on a user-defined period of daily bars. This is ideal for identifying intraday and short-term trading opportunities.
📊 Strategic Analysis (Weekly): Plots key levels from a weekly perspective, giving you a broader, long-term view of market sentiment and structure. This can be toggled on or off.
Volume Profile Core Levels: The indicator automatically calculates and visualizes the three most important levels derived from volume analysis for both timeframes:
🎯 POC (Point of Control): The price level with the highest traded volume for the specified period. It acts as a powerful magnet for price and a key reference for market equilibrium.
🔴 VAH (Value Area High): The highest price level within the "Value Area" (where ~70% of the volume was traded). It often acts as a significant resistance zone.
🟢 VAL (Value Area Low): The lowest price level within the Value Area. It often serves as a strong support zone.
🟠 24-Hour High: An optional feature that plots the highest price reached in the last 24 hours, providing a crucial reference point for breakout and reversal traders.
Dynamic and Non-Repainting: The levels are calculated based on historical confirmed bars and update automatically as new periods (daily or weekly) close. The lines extend to the right, remaining relevant until a new calculation period begins.
Integrated Alert System: Never miss a key price interaction. The indicator includes a comprehensive alert system for:
Breakouts: Triggers when the price crosses above or below the POC, VAH, or VAL.
Touches: Triggers when the price touches one of these key levels without breaking through it (within a small tolerance).
Unified Alert: A single alert that notifies you of any of the above conditions.
Customization
The SRD v11 is fully customizable to fit your trading style. You can adjust:
Timeframes: Change the base timeframes for both the main (default Daily) and strategic (default Weekly) analysis.
Analysis Periods: Define the number of bars (days or weeks) to include in the Volume Profile calculation.
Visuals: Customize the color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted) of every line and label for clear and intuitive visualization.
Toggle Elements: Easily show or hide the strategic (weekly) analysis and the 24-hour high line.
How to Use It >
Identify Key Zones: Use the VAH (resistance) and VAL (support) lines to identify potential entry and exit zones. The area between VAH and VAL is the "Value Area," where the market has found acceptance.
Monitor the POC: The Point of Control is the ultimate level of equilibrium. Watch for price reactions around the POC. A sustained break above or below can signal a new trend.
Combine Timeframes: Use the strategic (weekly) levels as major, long-term points of interest and the main (daily) levels for your day-to-day trading setup. Confluence between levels from different timeframes can indicate extremely strong support or resistance.
Set Alerts: Configure alerts for breakouts or touches to be notified of critical market movements in real-time, even when you are away from the charts.
X Tail that Wagsintraday session-framework and ETH-anchored VWAP tool for TradingView. It draws today’s OVN (ETH) high/mid/low, today’s RTH-day open, previous day open/high/low, and a carried ETH VWAP handle (yesterday’s 4:00 PM NY VWAP, projected forward) to give you a clean, non-repainting scaffold for bias, structure, and execution. All timestamps are New York–local with DST handled explicitly, so historical sessions align correctly across time changes.
Key Capabilities
ETH OVN Range (18:00 → 09:30 NY)
Captures the rolling overnight high/low and computes the mid; at 09:30 NY it locks those levels and extends them to 16:00 NY (same day).
Optional labels (size/color configurable) placed slightly to the right of the 4 PM timestamp for readability.
Daily Handles (Today & Previous Day)
Today’s open line starts at the ETH open (anchor preserved) and extends toward 4 PM NY (or up to the “current bar + 5 bars” cap), with label control.
Previous day open/high/low plotted as discrete reference lines for carry-over structure.
ETH-Anchored VWAP (Live) + Bands
ETH-anchored VWAP runs only during the active ETH session (DST-aware).
Optional VWAP bands (0.5×, 1.0×, 2.0× multipliers) plotted as line-break series.
Carried ETH VWAP Handle (PD 4 PM Snapshot)
At 16:00 NY, the script snapshots the final ETH VWAP value.
On the next ETH open, it projects that value as a static dashed line through the session (non-mutating, non-repainting), with optional label.
Labeling & Styling
Single-toggle label system with color and five sizes.
Per-line color/width controls for quick visual hierarchy.
Internal “tail” logic keeps right endpoints near price (open-anchored lines extend to min(4 PM, now + 5 bars)), avoiding chart-wide overdraw.
Robust Session Logic
All session boundaries computed in NY local time; DST rules applied for historical bars.
Cross-midnight windows handled safely (no gaps or misalignment around day rolls).
Primary Use Cases
Session Bias & Context
Use OVN H/M/L and today’s open to define structural bias zones before RTH begins. A break-and-hold above OVN mid, for example, can filter long ideas; conversely, rejection at OVN high can warn of mean reversion.
Carry-Forward Mean/Value Reference
The carried ETH VWAP (PD 4 PM) acts as a “value memory” line for the next day. Traders can:
Fade tests away from it in balanced conditions,
Use it as a pullback/acceptance gauge during trends,
Track liquidity grabs when price spikes through and reclaims.
Execution Planning & Risk
Anchor stops/targets around PD H/L and OVN H/M/L for well-defined invalidation.
Combine with your entry model (order-flow, momentum, or pattern) to time fades at range extremes or momentum breaks from OVN mid.
Confluence Mapping
Layer the tool with opening range tools, HTF zones, or profile/VWAPs (weekly/daily) to spot high-quality confluence where multiple references cluster.
Regime & Day-Type Read
Quickly see whether RTH accepts/rejects the OVN range or gravitates to PD VWAP handle, helping classify the day (trend, balanced, double-distribution, etc.).
Quick Start
Apply to your intraday chart (any instrument supported by TradingView; best on ≤15m for live intraday context).
In Current Day group, keep Open and OVN HL on; optionally display the mid.
In Previous Day group, enable PD Open/HL for carry-over levels.
Enable AVWAP if you want live ETH-anchored VWAP and its Bands for distance context.
Keep PD VWAP on to project yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP as a static dashed line into today.
Use the Label group to size/color the on-chart tags.
Settings Overview (Plain-English)
Label: Toggle labels on/off; choose label text color and size.
Current Day:
Open (color/width) — daily open line anchored at ETH open.
OVN HL (and Mid) — overnight high/low and midpoint, locked at 09:30 and extended to 16:00.
AVWAP + Bands — ETH-anchored VWAP with optional 0.5×/1×/2× bands.
Previous Day:
PD Open/HL — yesterday’s daily handles.
PD VWAP — the carried snapshot of yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP projected forward (dashed).
Notes & Best Practices
Time Zone: All session logic is hard-coded to America/New_York and DST-robust. No manual DST tweaks required.
Non-Repainting: The carried PD VWAP line is a snapshot; once drawn, it does not back-fill or mutate.
Intraday Use: Designed for intraday execution. It will display on higher TFs, but the session granularity is most informative at ≤15m.
Performance: Script caps lines/labels (500) and uses short “tails” to keep charts responsive.
Compatibility: Uses request.security(..., "D", series, lookahead_on) intentionally to lock daily handles early for planning; this is by design.
Typical Playbook Examples
Fade Extremes in Balance: As RTH opens inside OVN, look for rejection wicks at OVN High with confluence from PD VWAP handle overhead; risk above OVN High.
Trend Continuation: In directional sessions, acceptances above OVN Mid with price pulling back to the live ETH VWAP can offer continuation entries.
Reversion to Value: Sharp extensions away from the carried PD VWAP that quickly stall often revert to that handle; use it as a target or as an acceptance test.
MCL RSI Conflux v2.5 — Multi-Timeframe Momentum & Z-Score Full Description
Overview
The MCL RSI Conflux v2.5 is a multi-timeframe momentum model that integrates daily, weekly, and monthly RSI values into a unified composite. It extends the classical RSI framework with adaptive overbought/oversold thresholds and statistical normalization (Z-score confluence).
This combination allows traders to visualize cross-timeframe alignment, identify synchronized momentum shifts, and detect exhaustion zones with higher statistical confidence.
Methodology
The script extracts RSI data from three major time horizons:
Daily RSI (short-term momentum)
Weekly RSI (intermediate trend)
Monthly RSI (macro bias)
Each RSI is optionally smoothed, weighted, and aggregated into a Composite RSI.
A Z-score transformation then measures how far each RSI deviates from its historical mean, revealing when momentum strength is statistically extreme or aligned across timeframes.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe RSI Engine – Computes RSI across D/W/M intervals with individual weighting controls.
Adaptive Overbought/Oversold Bands – Automatically adjusts OB/OS thresholds based on rolling volatility (standard deviation of daily RSI).
Composite RSI Score – Weighted consensus RSI that represents total market momentum.
Z-Score Confluence Analysis – Identifies when all three timeframes are statistically synchronized.
Z-Composite Histogram – Displays aggregated Z-score strength around the midline (50).
Divergence Detection – Flags confirmed pivot-based bull and bear divergences on the daily RSI.
Dynamic Gradient Background – Shifts from red to green based on composite momentum regime.
Customizable Control Panel – Displays RSI values, Z-scores, state, and adaptive bands for each timeframe.
Integrated Alerts – For crossovers, risk-on/off thresholds, alignment, and Z-confluence events.
Interpretation
All RSI values above 50: multi-timeframe bullish alignment.
All RSI values below 50: multi-timeframe bearish alignment.
Composite RSI > 60: risk-on environment; momentum expansion.
Composite RSI < 45: risk-off environment; momentum contraction.
Adaptive OB/OS hits: potential exhaustion or mean reversion setup.
Green Z-ribbon: all Z-scores positive and aligned (statistical confirmation).
Red Z-ribbon: all Z-scores negative and aligned (broad market weakness).
Divergences: short-term warning signals against the prevailing momentum bias.
Practical Application
Use the Composite RSI as a global momentum gauge for position bias.
Trade only in the direction of higher-timeframe alignment (avoid countertrend RSI).
Combine Z-ribbon confirmation with Composite RSI crosses to filter noise.
Use divergence labels and adaptive thresholds for risk reduction or exit timing.
Ideal for swing traders and macro momentum models seeking trend synchronization filters.
Recommended Settings
Market Mode k-Band Lookback Use Case
Stocks / ETFs Adaptive 0.85 200 Medium-term rotation filter
Crypto Adaptive 1.00 150 Volatility-responsive swing filter
Commodities Fixed 70/30 100 Mean reversion model
Alerts Included

Volume Area 80 Rule Pro - Adaptive RTHSummary in one paragraph
Adaptive value area 80 percent rule for index futures large cap equities liquid crypto and major FX on intraday timeframes. It focuses activity only when multiple context gates align. It is original because the classic prior day value area traverse is fused with a daily regime classifier that remaps the operating parameters in real time.
Scope and intent
• Markets. ES NQ SPY QQQ large cap equities BTC ETH major FX pairs and other liquid RTH instruments
• Timeframes. One minute to one hour with daily regime context
• Default demo used in the publication. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Trade only the balanced days where the 80 percent traverse has edge while standing aside or tightening rules during trend or shock
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Prior day value area logic plus a rolling daily regime classifier using percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The regime remaps hold time end of window stop buffer and value area coverage on each session
• Failure mode addressed. False starts during strong trend or shock sessions and weak traverses during quiet grind
• Testability. All gates are visible in Inputs and debug flags can be plotted so users can verify why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. The regime uses ATR divided by close and ADX percent ranks which behave consistently across symbols
Method overview in plain language
The script builds the prior session profile during regular trading hours. At the first regular bar it freezes yesterday value area low value area high and point of control. It then evaluates the current session open location the first thirty minute volume rank the open gap rank and an opening drive test. In parallel a daily series classifies context into Calm Balance Trend or Shock from rolling percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The classifier scales the rules. Calm uses longer holds and a slightly wider value area. Trend and Shock shorten the window reduce holds and enlarge stop buffers.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a configurable length on both the daily and intraday series
• Return basis. Not required. ATR over close is the unit for regime strength
Components
• Prior Value Area Engine. Builds yesterday value area low value area high and point of control from a binned volume profile with automatic TPO fallback and minimum integrity guards
• Opening Location. Detects whether the session opens above the prior value area or below it
• Inside Hold Counter. Counts consecutive bars that hold inside the value area after a re entry
• Volume Gate. Percentile of the first thirty minutes volume over a rolling sample
• Gap Gate. Percentile rank of the regular session open gap over a rolling sample
• Drive Gate. Opening drive check using a multiple of intraday ATR
• Regime Classifier. Percentile ranks of daily ATR over close and daily ADX classify Calm Balance Trend Shock and remap parameters
• Session windows optional. Windows follow the chart exchange time
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates approach. A re entry must hold inside the value area for a regime scaled number of bars while the volume gap and drive gates allow the setup. The regime simultaneously scales value area coverage end minute time stop and stop buffer.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when price opens below yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• Short suggestion appears when price opens above yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• WAIT shows implicitly when any required gate is missing
• Exit labels mark target touch stop touch or a time based close
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart by default
• Session windows optional. Start and end minutes inside regular trading hours
• Invert direction is not used. The logic is symmetric
Logic
• Hold bars inside value area. Typical range 3 to 12. Raising it reduces trades and favors better traverses. Lowering it increases frequency and risk of false starts
• Earliest minute since RTH open and Latest minute since RTH open. Typical range 0 to 390. Reducing the latest minute cuts late session trades
• Time stop bars after entry. Typical range 6 to 30. Larger values give setups more room
Filters
• Value area coverage. Typical range 0.70 to 0.85. Higher coverage narrows the traverse but accepts fewer days
• Bin size in ticks. Typical range 1 to 8. Larger bins stabilize noisy profiles
• Stop buffer ticks beyond edge. Typical range 2 to 20. Larger buffers survive noise
• First thirty minute volume percentile. Typical range 0.30 to 0.70. Higher values require more active opens
• Gap filter percentile. Typical range 0.70 to 0.95. Lower values block more gap days
• Opening drive multiple and bars. Higher multiple or longer bars block strong directional opens
Adaptivity
• Lookback days for regime ranks. Typical 150 to 500
• Calm RV percentile. Typical 25 to 45
• Trend ADX percentile. Typical 55 to 75
• Shock RV percentile. Typical 75 to 90
• End minute ratio in Trend and Shock. Typical 0.5 to 0.8
• Hold and Time stop scales per regime. Use values near one to keep behavior close to static settings
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes
• Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Sessions use the chart exchange time
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the balance premise
• Gap heavy symbols may work better with stronger gap filters and a True Range focus
• Very quiet regimes reduce signal contrast. Consider longer windows or higher thresholds
