Liqudation HeatMap [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
An advanced liquidity visualization tool that plots horizontal heat zones to highlight where potential liquidations and volume clusters are most likely hiding beneath price action.
Liqudation HeatMap scans historical price movements for local highs and lows with elevated volume or candle range. It then draws dynamic heatmap boxes—shaded from lime (low interest) to yellow (high interest)—revealing potential zones of trapped positions or stop clusters. A vertical scale on the right shows you the relative strength of volume behind each level, from 0 to the highest detected.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Maps areas of potential liquidity using volume or candle range (if volume is unavailable).
Identifies swing highs/lows (pivots) and extends heatmap boxes outward from these levels. Colors each zone based on the relative strength of volume concentration.
Fades or removes zones once price crosses their midpoints, simulating the idea of liquidity being “consumed.”
Displays a live vertical scale that shows the volume range for quick reference.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Heatmap Zones:
Draws few boxes above and after pivot highs and below pivot lows, each shaded based on volume concentration.
Smart Coloring System:
Uses a gradient from lime (low) to yellow (high) to visually distinguish between weak and strong liquidity zones.
Adaptive ATR Widths:
Automatically adjusts zone thickness based on volatility (ATR), scaling intelligently across timeframes.
Liquidity Consumption Logic:
Zones are stope extending once price interacts with them—mimicking the behavior of real liquidation sweeps.
Volume Scale Legend:
A real-time scale is plotted on the right side, showing the min-max range of volume used for heat calculations.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for thick yellow zones to identify areas of concentrated stop losses or liquidation triggers.
Use these levels to anticipate mean reversion points or high-volatility zones.
Combine with your trend or structure tools to trade into or fade these liquidity pools.
On lower timeframes, use this tool to confirm entries around sweeps or deviations.
Use the right-side scale to compare relative zone strength instantly.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Liqudation HeatMap is a powerful visualization tool that uncovers where liquidity likely resides on the chart. By highlighting hidden traps and reactive levels in real-time, it gives traders a significant edge when it comes to spotting stop hunts, mean reversions, and areas of institutional interest. Whether you’re scalping or swing trading, this heatmap provides unmatched context on the market’s hidden intent.

Impulse Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Impulse Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify significant price movements accompanied by strong volume, highlighting potential areas of support and resistance. These Impulse Zones can offer valuable insights into market momentum and potential reversal or continuation points. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Impulse Zones Features :
Dynamic Zone Creation : Automatically identifies and plots potential supply and demand zones based on significant price impulses and volume spikes.
Customizable Settings : Allows you to adjust the sensitivity of zone detection based on your trading style and market conditions.
Retests and Breakouts : Clearly marks instances where price retests or breaks through established Impulse Zones, providing potential entry or exit signals.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish Impulse Zone detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
Our Impulse Zones indicator stands out by combining both price action (impulsive moves) and volume confirmation to define significant zones. Unlike simple support and resistance indicators, it emphasizes the strength behind price movements, potentially filtering out less significant levels. The inclusion of retest and breakout visuals directly on the chart provides immediate context for potential trading opportunities. The user can also set up alerts for freshly detected Impulse Zones & the retests of them.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The indicator identifies bars where the price range (high - low) is significantly larger than the average true range (ATR), indicating a strong price movement. The Size Sensitivity input allows you to control how large this impulse needs to be relative to the ATR.
Simultaneously, it checks if the volume on the impulse bar is significantly higher than the average volume. The Volume Sensitivity input governs this threshold.
When both the price impulse and volume confirmation criteria are met, an Impulse Zone is created in the corresponding direction. The high and low of the impulse bar define the initial boundaries of the zone. Zones are extended forward in time to remain relevant. The indicator manages the number of active zones to maintain chart clarity and can remove zones that haven't been touched for a specified period. The indicator monitors price action within and around established zones.
A retest is identified when the price touches a zone and then moves away. A break occurs when the price closes beyond the invalidation point of a zone. Keep in mind that if "Show Historic Zones" setting is disabled, you will not see break labels as their zones will be removed from the chart.
The detection of Impulse Zones are immediate signs of significant buying or selling pressure entering the market. These zones represent areas where a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers has led to a rapid price movement accompanied by high volume. Bullish Impulse Zones act as a possible future support zone, and Bearish Impulse Zones act as a possible future resistance zone. Retests of the zones suggest a strong potential movement in the corresponding direction.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired Impulse Zones will remain visible on the chart.
2. Impulse Zones
Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (Wick or Close) is used to invalidate a zone break.
Size Sensitivity: Controls the required size of the impulse bar relative to the ATR for a zone to be detected. Higher values may identify fewer, larger zones. Lower values may detect more, smaller zones.
Volume Sensitivity: Controls the required volume of the impulse bar relative to the average volume for a zone to be detected. Higher values require more significant volume.
Labels: Toggles the display of "IZ" labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables the visual highlighting of retests on the zones.
Breaks: Enables the visual highlighting of zone breaks.
Rube Goldberg Top/Bottom Finder [theUltimator5]This is what I call the Rube Goldberg Top and Bottom Finder. It is an overly complex method of plotting a simple buy or sell label on a chart.
I utilize several standard TA techniques along with several of my own to try and locate ideal Buy/Sell conditions. I came up with the name because there are way too many conditional variables to come up with a single buy or sell condition, when most standard indicators use simple crossovers or levels.
There are two unique triggers that are calculated using completely independent techniques. If both triggers turn true within a small timeframe between each other, the buy/sell trigger turns true and plots a "buy" or "sell" label on the chart.
This indicator was designed to be fully functioning out of the box and can be customized only if the user wishes to. It is effective on all timeframes, but longer timeframes (daily +) may require signal length adjustment for best results.
imgur.com
The signals used in the leading trigger are as follows:
(1)RSI
The user can select among any of the following moving averages (base is EMA) (#3) , and have an RSI generated at a user defined length (base is 14). (#4)
SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA, HMA, LSMA, ALMA
The user can select whether or not the RSI is filtered with the following options:
None, Kalman, Double EMA, ALMA
The filter conditions are hard coded to minimize the amount of selections that the user is required to make to reduce the user interface complexity.
The user can define overbought (base 70) and oversold (base 30) conditions. (#2)
When the RSI crosses above or below the threshold values, the plot will turn red. This creates condition 1 of the leading trigger.
(2) ADX and DI
This portion of the indicator is a derivative of my ADX Divergence and Gap Monitor indicator.
This technique looks at the ADX value as well as for spikes in either +DI or -DI for large divergences. When the ADX reaches a certain threshold and also outpaces a preset ADX moving average, this creates condition 2 of the leading trigger.
There is an additional built-in functionality in this portion of the indicator that looks for gaps. It triggers when the ADX is below a certain threshold value and either the +DI or -DI spike above a certain threshold value, indicating a sudden gap in price after a period of low volatility.
The user can set whether or nor to show when a gap appears on the chart or as a label on the plot below the chart (disabled by default) . If the user chooses to overlay gaps on the chart, it creates a horizontal fill showing the starting point of the gap. The theory here is that the price will return at some point in the near future to the starting point of the gap.
imgur.com
(3) DI based Multi-Symbol reference and divergence
Part of the script computes both the +DI (positive directional index) and -DI (negative directional index) for the currently selected chart symbol and three reference symbols.
The averaged directional move of the reference symbols are compared to the current ticker on your chart and if the divergence exceeds a certain threshold, then the third condition of the trigger is met.
The components that are referenced are based on what stock/chart you are looking at. The script automatically detects if you are looking at a crypto, and uses a user selectable toggle between Large Cap or Small Cap. (#1) The threshold levels are determined by the asset type and market cap.
The leading trigger highlights under several conditions:
1) All (3) portions of the trigger result in true simultaneously
OR
2) Any of triggers 2 or 3 reach a certain threshold that indicates extreme market/price divergence as well as trigger 1 being overbought or oversold.
AND
3) If the trigger didn't highlight
For the lagging part of the trigger:
The lagging trigger is used as a confirmation after the leading trigger to indicate a possible optimized entry/exit point. It can also be used by itself, as well as the leading indicator.
The lagging indicator utilizes the parabolic Stop And Reverse (SAR). It utilizes the RSI length that is defined in portion 1 of the leading trigger as well as the overbought and oversold thresholds. I have found excellent results in catching reversals because it catches rate-of-change events rather than price reversals alone.
imgur.com
When both the leading triggers FOLLOWED BY the lagging trigger result in true within a user defined timeframe, then the buy or sell trigger results in true, plotting a label on the chart.
All portions of the leading and lagging indicators can be toggled on or off, but most of them are toggled off by default in order to reduce noise on the plot.
imgur.com
The leading, lagging, and buy/sell triggers each have built-in alerts that can be toggled on or off in the alert menu.
I have an optional built-in toggle to show green or red dots on the RSI line using two separate RSI lengths that are amplified and plot based on RSI divergence and strength. This can be used as a visual confirmation (or rejection) against the chart overlay plots.

This indicator is not a strategy, so there are no built-in exits or stop losses.
Stop Cascade Detector Stop Cascade Detector (DAFE)
Unlock the Hidden Triggers of Market Momentum!
The Stop Cascade Detector (Bull & Bear, Info Bubble) is a next-generation tool designed for traders who want to see what the crowd can’t: the precise moments when clusters of stop orders are being triggered, unleashing explosive moves in either direction. The reason for this is traders taking there position too early. We on the other hand will take our positions once the less informed traders have been liquidated.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Not Just Another Volatility Tool:
This script doesn’t just measure volatility or volume. It detects the chain reactions that occur when price and volume spikes combine to trigger stop-loss clusters—events that often precede the most powerful surges and reversals in any market.
Directional Intelligence:
Unlike generic “spike” detectors, this tool distinguishes between bullish stop cascades (green, above the bar) and bearish stop cascades (red, below the bar), giving you instant clarity on which side of the market is being liquidated.
Visual Precision:
Each event is marked with a color-coded info bubble and a triangle, clearly separated from the price bars for maximum readability. No more guessing where the action is—see it, trade it, and stay ahead.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there are stops, this indicator will find the cascade.
What makes it work?
Momentum + Volume Spike:
The detector identifies bars where both price momentum and volume are simultaneously extreme (using Z-scores). This combination is a classic signature of stop runs and forced liquidations.
Bull & Bear Detection:
Bull Stop Cascade : Price plunges downward with a volume spike—likely longs getting stopped out.
Bear Stop Cascade: Price surges upward with a volume spike—likely shorts getting stopped out.
Info Bubbles:
Each event is labeled with the exact Z-scores for momentum and volume, so you can gauge the intensity of the cascade at a glance.
What will it do for you?
Front-Run the Crowd:
Most traders react after the move. This tool helps you spot the cause of the move—giving you a tactical edge to fade exhaustion, ride momentum, or avoid getting trapped.
Perfect for Scalpers, Day Traders, and Swing Traders:
Whether you’re looking for high-probability reversals or want to ride the wave, knowing when stops are being triggered is a game-changer.
No More Blind Spots:
Stop cascades are the hidden fuel behind many of the market’s biggest moves. Now you can see them in real time.
How to Use
Red Bubble Above Bar: Bear stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Green Bubble Below Bar: Bull stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Combine with Your Strategy : Use as a confirmation tool, a reversal signal, or a filter for high-volatility environments. Level up your trading. See the market’s hidden triggers.
Stop Cascade Detector: Because the real edge is knowing what sets the market on fire.

Opening Range Retest█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the opening range as a box. It also draws markers and triggers alerts when the opening range is retested. The opening range time is configurable, as is the period of time that must elapse before each return to the opening range is considered a retest.
█ FEATURES
Opening range time configurable in bars or minutes
Configurable "resting" period between the end of the opening range or since the last retest before a new retest is considered valid
Configurable tolerance so that a retest can trigger sooner
Active time range can be used to filter alerts and markers to a specific time window
Visual box showing the opening range, which can be optionally limited to the above-mentioned active time window
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used for an opening range retest trading strategy, where long or short positions are taken on the retest of the opening range.
The opening range can be user-configured, so it is suitable for use with any opening range time period (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, etc.).
The markers and alerts are equivalent, in the sense that whenever a marker appears, an alert will also trigger (assuming the user has set an alert up).
The alert active time range is simply used as a filter for markers and alerts, meaning that these will not draw or trigger outside of the specified time range.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is intended for equities that have a highly active regular market open. For other security types, it will draw the opening range box from whenever TradingView specifies the market open time.
Minervini Trend Template (EMA)📄 Description:
This script is inspired by Mark Minervini’s SEPA (Specific Entry Point Analysis) strategy and adapts his famous Trend Template using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It helps traders visually identify technically strong stocks that are in ideal buy conditions based on Minervini's rules.
📈 Strategy Logic:
This script scans for momentum breakouts by filtering stocks with the following characteristics:
✅ Buy Criteria (All Conditions Must Be Met):
Price above 50-day EMA
Price above 150-day EMA
Price above 200-day EMA
50-day EMA above 150-day EMA
150-day EMA above 200-day EMA
200-day EMA trending upward (greater than it was 20 days ago)
Price within 25% of its 52-week high
Price at least 30% above its 52-week low
If all 8 conditions are satisfied, the script triggers a SEPA Setup Signal. This is visually indicated by:
✅ A green background on the chart
✅ A label saying “SEPA Setup” under the bar
🛒 When to Buy:
Wait for the stock to break out above a recent base or consolidation pattern (like a cup-with-handle or flat base) on strong volume.
The ideal entry is within 5% of the breakout point.
Confirm that the SEPA conditions are met on the breakout day.
📉 When to Sell:
Place a stop-loss 5–8% below your entry price.
Exit if the breakout fails and price falls back below the pivot or the 50-day EMA.
Take partial profits after a 20–25% gain, and move your stop-loss up to breakeven or trail it using moving averages like the 21 or 50 EMA.
Exit fully if price closes below the 50-day or 150-day EMA on volume.
🧠 Why EMAs?
EMAs react faster to recent price action than SMAs, helping you catch earlier signals in fast-moving markets. This makes it especially useful for growth and momentum traders following Minervini’s high-performance approach.
📊 How to Use:
Apply the script to any stock chart (daily timeframe recommended).
Look for a green background + SEPA Setup label.
Combine with price/volume analysis, base patterns, and market context to time your entries.
🚨 Optional Alerts:
You can set an alert on the condition minerviniPass == true to notify you when a SEPA-compliant setup appears.
📚 This tool is meant for educational and research purposes. Always validate with your own due diligence and consult your risk plan before making any trades.

Kinetic Price Momentum Oscillator📈 Kinetic Price Momentum Oscillator (Sri-PMO)
Author's Note:
This script is an educational and custom-adapted visualization based on the concept of the Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO). It is not a direct clone of any proprietary implementation, and it introduces enhancements such as timeframe sensitivity, customizable smoothings, multi-timeframe analysis, and visual trend meters.
🔍 Overview:
The Kinetic Price Momentum Oscillator (Kinetic-PMO) is a dynamic momentum indicator that analyzes price rate of change smoothed with dual exponential moving averages. It offers a clear view of momentum trends across multiple timeframes—the chart's current timeframe, the 1-hour timeframe, and the 1-day timeframe. It includes optional visual cues for zero-line crossovers, trend ribbon fills, and a daily trend meter.
🧮 Calculation Logic:
At its core, Kinetic-PMO calculates momentum by:
Measuring Rate of Change (ROC) over 1 bar.
Applying double EMA smoothing:
The first smoothing (len1) smooths the ROC.
The second smoothing (len2) smooths the result further.
This produces the main KPMO Line.
A third EMA (sigLen) is applied to the KPMO line to produce the Signal Line.
The formula includes a multiplier of 10 to scale values.
pinescript
Copy
Edit
roc = ta.roc(source, 1)
kmo = ta.ema(10 * ta.ema(roc, len1), len2)
signal = ta.ema(kmo, sigLen)
To allow responsiveness across timeframes, the script provides sensitivity inputs (sensA, sensB, sensC) which dynamically scale the smoothing lengths for different contexts:
Intraday (current chart timeframe)
Hourly (1H)
Daily (1D)
🧭 Features:
✅ Multi-Timeframe Calculation:
Intraday: Based on current chart resolution
1H: PMO for the hourly trend
1D: Daily trend meter using KPMO structure
✅ Trend Identification:
Green if PMO is above Signal Line (bullish)
Red if PMO is below Signal Line (bearish)
Daily Trend Meter includes nuanced color mapping:
Lime = Bullish above zero
Orange = Bullish below zero
Red = Bearish below zero
Yellow = Bearish above zero
✅ Custom Visual Enhancements:
Optional filled ribbons between KPMO and Signal
Optional zero-line crossover background highlight
Compact daily trend meter displayed as a color-coded shape
🛠 Customization Parameters:
Input Description
Primary Smoothing Controls ROC smoothing depth (1st EMA)
Secondary Smoothing Controls final smoothing (2nd EMA)
Signal Smoothing Controls EMA of the PMO line
Input Source Default is close, but any price type can be selected
Sensitivity Factors Separate multipliers for intraday, 1H, and 1D
Visual Settings Toggle zero-line highlight and ribbon fill
🧠 Intended Use:
The Kinetic-PMO is suitable for trend confirmation, momentum divergence detection, and entry/exit refinement. The multi-timeframe aspect helps align short-term and long-term momentum trends, supporting better trade decision-making.
⚖️ Legal & Attribution Statement:
This script was independently created and modified for educational and analytical purposes. While the concept of the PMO is inspired by technical analysis literature, this implementation does not copy or reverse-engineer any proprietary code. It introduces custom parameters, visualization enhancements, and multi-timeframe logic. Posting this script complies with TradingView’s policy on derivative work and educational indicators.
VWAP Adaptive (RelVol-Adjusted)This indicator provides an Adaptive VWAP that adjusts volume weighting using RelVol (Relative Volume at Time), offering a more accurate and context-aware price reference during sessions with irregular volume behavior.
Classic VWAP calculates the average price weighted by raw volume, without considering the time of day. This becomes a serious limitation during major market events such as CPI releases, FOMC announcements, NFP, or large-cap earnings. These events often trigger massive volume spikes within one or two candles. As a result, the classic VWAP gets pulled toward those extreme prices and becomes permanently skewed for the rest of the session.
In such conditions, classic VWAP becomes unreliable. It no longer reflects fair value and often misleads traders relying on it for dynamic support, resistance, or reversion signals.
This Adaptive VWAP improves on that by using RelVol, which compares the current volume to the average volume seen at the same time over previous sessions. It gives more weight to price when volume is typical for that moment, and adjusts the influence when volume is statistically abnormal. This reduces the impact of isolated volume spikes and stabilizes the VWAP path, even in high-volatility environments.
For example, on SPY 1-minute or 5-minute charts during a CPI release, a massive spike in volume and price can occur within a single candle. Classic VWAP will immediately anchor itself to that spike. Adaptive VWAP using RelVol softens that effect and maintains a more realistic trajectory.
Key features:
- Adaptive VWAP weighted by time-adjusted Relative Volume (RelVol)
- Designed to maintain VWAP reliability during macroeconomic events
- Flexible anchoring: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Earnings, etc.
- Optional display of Classic VWAP for comparison
- Up to 3 customizable deviation bands (standard deviation or percentage)
This tool is ideal for intraday traders who need a VWAP that remains usable and unbiased, even in volatile sessions. It adds robustness to VWAP-based strategies by incorporating time-sensitive volume normalization.

Weekly ManipulationUnderstanding the "Weekly Manipulation" Indicator
The "Weekly Manipulation" indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify false breakouts in the market—moments. Let me explain how it works in simple terms.
What This Indicator Detects
This indicator spots two specific market behaviors that often indicate manipulation:
1. Single-Day Manipulation (Red/Green Labels)
This occurs when price briefly breaks through a significant daily level but fails to maintain the momentum:
Bearish Manipulation (Red): Price pushes above the previous day's high, but then reverses and closes below that high.
Bullish Manipulation (Green): Price drops below the previous day's low), but then reverses and closes above that low.
2. Two-Day Manipulation (Black Labels)
This is a more complex version of the same pattern, but occurring over a 2-day period. These signals can indicate even stronger manipulation attempts and potentially more powerful reversals.
Why This Matters for Your Trading
By identifying these patterns, you can:
- Avoid getting caught in false breakouts
- Find potential entry points after the manipulation is complete
- Understand when market action might not be genuine price discovery
How to Use This Indicator
1. Look for Red Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break higher but failed. This often suggests bearish potential going forward.
2. Look for Green Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break lower but failed. This often suggests bullish potential going forward.
3. Pay Attention to Black Markers: These 2-day patterns can signal stronger reversals and might be worth giving extra weight in your analysis.
The indicator labels these patterns clearly as "Manipulation" right on your chart, giving you an immediate visual cue when these potential setups occur.
(FVC) Fractal Volatility Compression (DAFE) (FVC) Fractal Volatility Compression
See the Market’s Volatility DNA.
The Fractal Volatility Compression (FVC) is a next-generation tool for traders who want to see volatility compression and expansion across multiple timeframes and volatility engines—not just price, but the very structure of volatility itself.
What Makes FVC Unique?
Dual-Engine Volatility:
Plots both classic price-based (Stdev) and meta-volatility (VoVix) compression/expansion, so you can see when the market is “coiling” or “exploding” on multiple levels.
Fractal, Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Measures volatility on short, medium, and long timeframes, then normalizes each as a Z-score. The result: a true “coiled spring” detector that works on any asset, any timeframe.
Threshold Lines You Control:
Yellow center line: Your neutral baseline.
Green compression line: When crossed, the market is “spring-loading.”
Red expansion line: When crossed, volatility is breaking out.
All lines are solid, clean, and end before the dashboard for a professional look.
Agreement Fill: When both engines agree (both above or both below the center line), a bright fill highlights the zone—red for expansion, green for compression.
Signature Dashboard & Info Line:
Dashboard (right-middle) shows all Z-scores and FVC values, color-coded for instant clarity.
Compact info label for mobile or minimalist users.
Inputs & Customization
Thresholds: Set the yellow, green, and red lines to match your asset, timeframe, and risk tolerance.
Timeframes & Lengths: Tune the short, medium, and long volatility windows for your style.
Toggle Lines: Show/hide Stdev or VoVix FVC lines independently.
Dashboard & Info Line: Toggle for your workflow and screen size.
How to Use
Compression (below green): Market is “coiling” across timeframes—watch for explosive moves.
Expansion (above red): Volatility is breaking out—expect regime shifts or trend acceleration.
Agreement Fill: When both lines agree, the signal is strongest.
Not a Buy/Sell Signal: These are regime and structure signals—combine with your own
strategy and risk management.
Why should you use FVC?
See what others can’t:
Most tools show only one dimension of volatility. FVC reveals the fractal DNA of market compression and expansion. Works on any asset, any timeframe. Professional, clean, and fully customizable.
Fractal Volatility Compression (FVC):
Because the next big move is born in the market’s hidden compression.

Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index (Proxy)The Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index (BFCI): A Proxy Implementation
Financial conditions indices (FCIs) have become essential tools for economists, policymakers, and market participants seeking to quantify and monitor the overall state of financial markets. Among these measures, the Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index (BFCI) has emerged as a particularly influential metric. Originally developed by Bloomberg L.P., the BFCI provides a comprehensive assessment of stress or ease in financial markets by aggregating various market-based indicators into a single, standardized value (Hatzius et al., 2010).
The original Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index synthesizes approximately 50 different financial market variables, including money market indicators, bond market spreads, equity market valuations, and volatility measures. These variables are normalized using a Z-score methodology, weighted according to their relative importance to overall financial conditions, and then aggregated to produce a composite index (Carlson et al., 2014). The resulting measure is centered around zero, with positive values indicating accommodative financial conditions and negative values representing tighter conditions relative to historical norms.
As Angelopoulou et al. (2014) note, financial conditions indices like the BFCI serve as forward-looking indicators that can signal potential economic developments before they manifest in traditional macroeconomic data. Research by Adrian et al. (2019) demonstrates that deteriorating financial conditions, as measured by indices such as the BFCI, often precede economic downturns by several months, making these indices valuable tools for predicting changes in economic activity.
Proxy Implementation Approach
The implementation presented in this Pine Script indicator represents a proxy of the original Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index, attempting to capture its essential features while acknowledging several significant constraints. Most critically, while the original BFCI incorporates approximately 50 financial variables, this proxy version utilizes only six key market components due to data accessibility limitations within the TradingView platform.
These components include:
Equity market performance (using SPY as a proxy for S&P 500)
Bond market yields (using TLT as a proxy for 20+ year Treasury yields)
Credit spreads (using the ratio between LQD and HYG as a proxy for investment-grade to high-yield spreads)
Market volatility (using VIX directly)
Short-term liquidity conditions (using SHY relative to equity prices as a proxy)
Each component is transformed into a Z-score based on log returns, weighted according to approximated importance (with weights derived from literature on financial conditions indices by Brave and Butters, 2011), and aggregated into a composite measure.
Differences from the Original BFCI
The methodology employed in this proxy differs from the original BFCI in several important ways. First, the variable selection is necessarily limited compared to Bloomberg's comprehensive approach. Second, the proxy relies on ETFs and publicly available indices rather than direct market rates and spreads used in the original. Third, the weighting scheme, while informed by academic literature, is simplified compared to Bloomberg's proprietary methodology, which may employ more sophisticated statistical techniques such as principal component analysis (Kliesen et al., 2012).
These differences mean that while the proxy BFCI captures the general direction and magnitude of financial conditions, it may not perfectly replicate the precision or sensitivity of the original index. As Aramonte et al. (2013) suggest, simplified proxies of financial conditions indices typically capture broad movements in financial conditions but may miss nuanced shifts in specific market segments that more comprehensive indices detect.
Practical Applications and Limitations
Despite these limitations, research by Arregui et al. (2018) indicates that even simplified financial conditions indices constructed from a limited set of variables can provide valuable signals about market stress and future economic activity. The proxy BFCI implemented here still offers significant insight into the relative ease or tightness of financial conditions, particularly during periods of market stress when correlations among financial variables tend to increase (Rey, 2015).
In practical applications, users should interpret this proxy BFCI as a directional indicator rather than an exact replication of Bloomberg's proprietary index. When the index moves substantially into negative territory, it suggests deteriorating financial conditions that may precede economic weakness. Conversely, strongly positive readings indicate unusually accommodative financial conditions that might support economic expansion but potentially also signal excessive risk-taking behavior in markets (López-Salido et al., 2017).
The visual implementation employs a color gradient system that enhances interpretation, with blue representing neutral conditions, green indicating accommodative conditions, and red signaling tightening conditions—a design choice informed by research on optimal data visualization in financial contexts (Few, 2009).
