Custom USD IndexThis is a modernized, expanded version of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), designed to provide a more accurate representation of the dollar’s global strength in today’s diversified economy.
Unlike the traditional DXY, which excludes major players like China and entirely omits real-world stores of value, this custom index (DXY+) includes:
Fiat Currencies (78.3% total weight):
EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF, and CNY — equally weighted to reflect the global currency landscape.
Gold (17.5%):
Gold (XAUUSD) is included as a traditional reserve asset and inflation hedge, acknowledging its continued monetary relevance.
Cryptocurrencies (2.8% total weight):
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) represent the emerging digital monetary layer.
The index rises when the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to this blended basket, and falls when the dollar weakens against it. This is ideal for traders, economists, and macro analysts seeking a more inclusive and up-to-date measure of dollar performance.
Rollover Candles 23:00-00:00 UTC+1This indicator highlights the Forex Market Rollover candles during which the spreads get very high and some 'fake price action' occurs. By marking them orange you always know you are dealing with a rollover candle and these wicks/candles usually get taken out later on because there are no orders in these candles.
Optimal settings: The rollover takes only 1 hour, so put the visibility of the indicator on the 1 hour time frame and below (or just the 1h).
Statistical Pairs Trading IndicatorZ-Score Stat Trading — Statistical Pairs Trading Indicator
📊🔗
---
What is it?
Z-Score Stat Trading is a powerful indicator for statistical pairs trading and quantitative analysis of two correlated assets.
It calculates the Z-Score of the log-price spread between any two symbols you choose, providing both long-term and short-term Z-Score signals.
You’ll also see real-time correlation, volatility, spread, and the number of long/short signals in a handy on-chart table!
---
How to Use 🛠️
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Select two assets (symbols) to analyze in the settings.
3. Watch the Z-Score plots (blue and orange lines) and threshold levels (+2, -2 by default).
4. Check the info table for:
- Correlation
- Volatility
- Spread
- Number of long (NL) and short (NS) signals in the last 1000 bars
5. Set up alerts for signal generation or threshold crossings if you want to be notified automatically.
---
Trading Strategy 💡
- This indicator is designed for statistical arbitrage (mean reversion) strategies.
- Long Signal (🟢):
When both Z-Scores drop below the negative threshold (e.g., -2), a long signal is generated.
→ Buy Symbol A, Sell Symbol B, expecting the spread to revert to the mean.
- Short Signal (🔴):
When both Z-Scores rise above the positive threshold (e.g., +2), a short signal is generated.
→ Sell Symbol A, Buy Symbol B, again expecting mean reversion.
- The info table helps you quickly assess the frequency of signals and the current statistical relationship between your chosen assets.
---
Best Practices & Warnings 🚦
- Avoid high leverage! Pairs trading can be risky, especially during periods of divergence. Use conservative position sizing.
- Check for cointegration: Before using this indicator, make sure both assets are cointegrated or have a strong historical relationship. This increases the reliability of mean reversion signals.
- Check correlation: Only use asset pairs with a high correlation (preferably 0.8–0.9 or higher) for best results. The correlation value is shown in the info table.
- Scale in and out gradually: When entering or exiting positions, consider doing so in parts rather than all at once. This helps manage slippage and risk, especially in volatile markets.
---
⚠️ Note on Performance:
This indicator may work a bit slowly, especially on large timeframes or long chart histories, because the calculation of NL and NS (number of long/short signals) is computationally intensive.

Auto Price Action SR Levels by Chaitu50cAuto Price Action SR Levels by Chaitu50c:
This is a session-based support and resistance indicator that identifies price levels based on actual candle activity, without relying on traditional indicators. It works by clustering open, high, low, or close values of past candles that frequently occur within a defined price range, making it a reliable price action-based tool for intraday traders.
The indicator calculates these levels at the start of each new trading session (based on NSE 09:15 time) and keeps them static throughout the session. This avoids unnecessary noise or flickering due to live price action, giving traders consistent zones to work with during the day.
FEATURES:
* Automatic detection of support and resistance levels based on candle price hits
* Cluster formation using high/low or open/close logic
* Static levels: calculated once per session and remain unchanged until the next session
* Adjustable settings for:
* Cluster range (in points)
* Number of lookback candles
* Line width
* Line color (default: black)
* Minimalist design for a clean chart experience
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator looks back over a defined number of candles at the beginning of each session. It clusters prices that fall within a specified range (e.g., 250 points) and counts how many times they appear as open, high, low, or close values. If a price level is hit at least once (default), it is considered significant and a line is plotted.
Because clustering is done once per session, the lines do not shift during the session. This allows traders to base decisions on fixed, stable levels formed by prior market structure.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
* Intraday traders
* Price action traders
* Traders who prefer clean charts with logical SR zones
* Nifty, BankNifty, and stock-based day trading
Created by Chaitu50c for traders who rely on logic and structure, not signals.

Anchored VWAP by Time (Math by Thomas)📄 Description
This tool lets you plot an Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) starting from any specific date and time you choose. Unlike standard VWAPs that reset daily or weekly, this version gives you full control to track institutional pricing zones from precise anchor points—such as key swing highs/lows, market open, or news-driven candles.
It’s especially useful for price action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders who track liquidity, fair value gaps (FVGs), and institutional zones.
🇮🇳 For NSE India Traders
You can anchor VWAP to Indian market open (e.g., 9:15 AM IST) or major events like RBI policy, earnings, or breakout candles.
The time input uses UTC by default, so for Indian Standard Time (IST), remember:
9:15 AM IST = 3:45 AM UTC
3:30 PM IST = 10:00 AM UTC
⚙️ How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the settings panel.
Under “Anchor Start Time”, choose the date & time to begin the VWAP.
Use UTC format (adjust from IST if needed).
Customize the line color and thickness to suit your chart style.
The VWAP will begin plotting from that time forward.
🔎 Best Use Cases
Track VWAP from intraday range breakouts
Anchor from swing highs/lows to identify mean reversion zones
Combine with your FVGs, Order Blocks, or CHoCHs
Monitor VWAP reactions during key macro events or expiry days
🔧 Clean Design
No labels are used, keeping your chart clean.
Works on all timeframes (1min to Daily).
Designed for serious intraday & positional traders.
1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout
This script is designed for 1-minute chart scalpers seeking high-probability intraday breakout setups based on early session price action. The strategy revolves around identifying the first high and low of the day, and then detecting the second breach (2nd high or 2nd low) to anticipate breakout entries.
🔍 Core Logic:
EMA Filter : A configurable EMA (default 8-period) is plotted for trend context.
1st High/Low Detection : Captures the very first high and low of each trading day.
2nd High/Low Markers : Identifies the second time price breaks the initial high or low, acting as a potential signal zone.
Breakout Signals :
A Buy Signal is triggered when price closes above the 2nd high.
A Sell Signal is triggered when price closes below the 2nd low.
Each signal is only triggered once per day to reduce noise and avoid overtrading.
🖌️ Visual Markers:
1stHi and 1stLo : Early session levels (red and green).
2ndHi and 2ndLo : Key breakout reference points (purple and blue).
B and S Labels : Buy and Sell triggers marked in real-time once breakouts occur.
⚙️ Inputs:
EMA Length (default: 8)
Customizable Colors for Buy/Sell signals and key markers
This tool is best used in fast-moving markets or during high-volume sessions. Combine with volume or higher-timeframe confirmation for improved accuracy.
VWAP + Candle-Rating SELL (close, robust)This multi‐timeframe setup first scans the 15-minute chart for strong bearish candles (body position in the bottom 40% of their range, i.e. rating 4 or 5) that close below the session VWAP. When it finds the first such “setup” of a trading period, it pins the low of that 15-minute candle as a trigger level and draws a persistent red line there. On the 5-minute chart, the strategy then waits for a similarly strong bearish candle (rating 4 or 5) to close below that marked low—at which point it emits a one‐time SELL signal. The trigger level remains in place (and additional sell signals are locked out) until the market “rescues” the price: a 15-minute bullish candle (rating 1 or 2) closing back above VWAP clears the old setup and allows the next valid bearish 15-minute candle to form a new trigger. This design ensures you only trade the most significant breakdowns after a clear bearish bias and avoids repeated signals until a genuine bullish reversal resets the system.
Levels & Flow📌 Overview
Levels & Flow is a visual trading tool that combines daily pivot levels with a dynamic EMA ribbon to help traders identify structure, momentum, and key decision zones in the market.
This script is designed for discretionary traders who rely on clean visual cues for intraday and swing trading strategies.
⚙️ Key Features
Daily Pivot, Support, and Resistance Lines
Automatically plots the daily pivot level based on the previous day’s OHLC data, along with calculated support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels
Two dashed lines above and below the pivot represent the retracement of the pivot-resistance and pivot-support range, forming the boundaries of the “no-trade zone.”
No-Trade Zone (Shaded Box)
A gray shaded box between the two Fibonacci levels to visually mark a high-chop/low-conviction zone.
Trend-Based Candle Coloring (Current Day Only)
Candles are colored green if the close is above the pivot, red if below (only on the current trading day).
Bullish/Bearish Trend Label
A small table in the bottom-right corner displays “Bullish” or “Bearish” depending on whether price is above or below the pivot.
20-EMA Gradient Ribbon
A stack of 20 EMAs, each smoothed and color-coded from blue to green to reflect short- to long-term trend alignment.
Cumulative EMA with Adaptive Weighting
An intelligent moving average line that adjusts weight distribution among the 20 EMAs based on recent predictive accuracy using a learning rate and lookback period.
🧠 How It Works
📍 Levels
The script calculates daily pivot, resistance, and support levels using standard formulas:
Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Resistance = (2 × Pivot) – Low
Support = (2 × Pivot) – High
These levels update each day and extend 143 bars to the right.
📏 Fib Lines
Fib Up = Pivot + (Resistance – Pivot) × 0.382
Fib Down = Pivot – (Pivot – Support) × 0.382
These lines form the “no-trade zone” box.
📈 EMA Ribbon
20 EMAs starting from the user-defined Base Length, each incremented by 1
Each EMA is smoothed using the Smoothing Period
Color-coded from blue to green for intuitive visual flow
Filled between EMAs to visualize trend strength and alignment
🧠 Cumulative EMA Learning
Each EMA’s historical error is calculated over a Lookback Period
Lower-error EMAs receive higher weight; weights are normalized to sum to 1
The result is a cumulative EMA that adapts based on historical predictive power
🔧 User Inputs
Input
Base EMA Length: Sets the period for the shortest EMA (default: 20)
Smoothing Period: Smooths all EMAs and the cumulative EMA
Lookback for Learning: Number of bars to evaluate EMA prediction accuracy
Learning Rate: Adjusts how quickly weights shift in favor of more accurate EMAs
✅ How to Use It
Use the pivot level to define directional bias.
Watch for price breakouts above resistance or breakdowns below support to consider entry.
Avoid trading inside the shaded zone, where direction is less reliable.
Use the EMA ribbon gradient to confirm short/long alignment.
The cumulative EMA helps define trend with noise reduction.
🧪 Best For
Intraday traders who want to blend structure with flow
Swing traders needing clean daily levels with dynamic confirmation
Anyone looking to avoid choppy zones and improve visual clarity

MFI Candle Trend🎯 Purpose:
The MFI Candle Trend is a custom TradingView indicator that transforms the Money Flow Index (MFI) into candle-style visuals using various smoothing and transformation techniques. Rather than displaying MFI as a line, this script generates synthetic candles from MFI values, helping traders visualize money flow trends, strength, and potential reversals with more clarity.
📌 Trend strength can be analyzed based on buying and selling pressures in the trend direction.
🧩 How It Works:
Calculates MFI values for open, high, low, and close prices.
Applies optional smoothing using the user-selected moving average (EMA, SMA, WMA, etc.).
Transforms the smoothed MFI data into synthetic candles using a selected method:
Normal: Uses raw MFI data
Heikin-Ashi: Applies HA transformation to MFI
Linear: Uses linear regression on MFI values
Rational Quadratic: Applies advanced rational quadratic filtering via an external kernel library
Colors candles based on MFI momentum:
Cyan: Strong positive MFI movement
Red: Strong negative MFI movement
⚙️ Key Inputs:
Method:
The type of smoothing method to apply to MFI
Options: None, EMA, SMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA, HMA, Mode
Length:
Period for both the MFI and smoothing calculation
Candle:

JPMorgan G7 Volatility IndexThe JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index: Scientific Analysis and Professional Applications
Introduction
The JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index (G7VOL) represents a sophisticated metric for monitoring currency market volatility across major developed economies. This indicator functions as an approximation of JPMorgan's proprietary volatility indices, providing traders and investors with a normalized measurement of cross-currency volatility conditions (Clark, 2019).
Theoretical Foundation
Currency volatility is fundamentally defined as "the statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index" (Hull, 2018, p.127). In the context of G7 currencies, this volatility measurement becomes particularly significant due to the economic importance of these nations, which collectively represent more than 50% of global nominal GDP (IMF, 2022).
According to Menkhoff et al. (2012, p.685), "currency volatility serves as a global risk factor that affects expected returns across different asset classes." This finding underscores the importance of monitoring G7 currency volatility as a proxy for global financial conditions.
Methodology
The G7VOL indicator employs a multi-step calculation process:
Individual volatility calculation for seven major currency pairs using standard deviation normalized by price (Lo, 2002)
- Weighted-average combination of these volatilities to form a composite index
- Normalization against historical bands to create a standardized scale
- Visual representation through dynamic coloring that reflects current market conditions
The mathematical foundation follows the volatility calculation methodology proposed by Bollerslev et al. (2018):
Volatility = σ(returns) / price × 100
Where σ represents standard deviation calculated over a specified timeframe, typically 20 periods as recommended by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS, 2020).
Professional Applications
Professional traders and institutional investors employ the G7VOL indicator in several key ways:
1. Risk Management Signaling
According to research by Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016), elevated currency volatility often precedes broader market stress. When the G7VOL breaches its high volatility threshold (typically 1.5 times the 100-period average), portfolio managers frequently reduce risk exposure across asset classes. As noted by Borio (2019, p.17), "currency volatility spikes have historically preceded equity market corrections by 2-7 trading days."
2. Counter-Cyclical Investment Strategy
Low G7 volatility periods (readings below the lower band) tend to coincide with what Shin (2017) describes as "risk-on" environments. Professional investors often use these signals to increase allocations to higher-beta assets and emerging markets. Campbell et al. (2021) found that G7 volatility in the lowest quintile historically preceded emerging market outperformance by an average of 3.7% over subsequent quarters.
3. Regime Identification
The normalized volatility framework enables identification of distinct market regimes:
- Readings above 1.0: Crisis/high volatility regime
- Readings between -0.5 and 0.5: Normal volatility regime
- Readings below -1.0: Unusually calm markets
According to Rey (2015), these regimes have significant implications for global monetary policy transmission mechanisms and cross-border capital flows.
Interpretation and Trading Applications
G7 currency volatility serves as a barometer for global financial conditions due to these currencies' centrality in international trade and reserve status. As noted by Gagnon and Ihrig (2021, p.423), "G7 currency volatility captures both trade-related uncertainty and broader financial market risk appetites."
Professional traders apply this indicator in multiple contexts:
- Leading indicator: Research from the Federal Reserve Board (Powell, 2020) suggests G7 volatility often leads VIX movements by 1-3 days, providing advance warning of broader market volatility.
- Correlation shifts: During periods of elevated G7 volatility, cross-asset correlations typically increase what Brunnermeier and Pedersen (2009) term "correlation breakdown during stress periods." This phenomenon informs portfolio diversification strategies.
- Carry trade timing: Currency carry strategies perform best during low volatility regimes as documented by Lustig et al. (2011). The G7VOL indicator provides objective thresholds for initiating or exiting such positions.

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).

RSI - SECUNDARIO - mauricioofsousaSecondary RSI – MGO
Reading the rhythm behind the price action
The Secondary RSI is a specialized oscillator developed as part of the MGO (Matriz Gráficos ON) methodology. It works as a refined strength filter, designed to complement traditional RSI readings by isolating the true internal rhythm of price action and reducing the influence of market noise.
While the standard RSI measures price momentum, the Secondary RSI focuses on identifying breaks in oscillatory balance—the moments when the market shifts from accumulation to distribution or from compression to expansion.
🎯 What the Secondary RSI highlights:
Internal imbalances in energy between buyers and sellers
Micro-divergences not visible on standard RSI
Areas of price fatigue or overextension that often precede reversals
Confirmation zones for MGO oscillatory events (RPA, RPB, RBA, RBB)
📊 Recommended use:
Combine with the Primary RSI for dual-layer validation
Use as a noise-reduction tool before entering trends
Ideal in medium timeframes (12H / 4H) where oscillatory patterns form clearly
🧠 How it works:
The Secondary RSI recalculates the momentum signal using a block-based interpretation (aligned with the MGO structure) instead of simply following raw candle data. It adapts to the periodic nature of price behavior and provides the trader with a more stable and reliable measure of true market strength.
RSI - PRIMARIO -mauricioofsousa
MGO Primary – Matriz Gráficos ON
The Blockchain of Trading applied to price behavior
The MGO Primary is the foundation of Matriz Gráficos ON — an advanced graphical methodology that transforms market movement into a logical, predictable, and objective sequence, inspired by blockchain architecture and periodic oscillatory phenomena.

IU Three Line Strike Candlestick PatternIU Three Line Strike Candlestick Pattern
This indicator identifies the Three Line Strike candlestick pattern — a rare yet powerful 4-bar reversal setup that captures exhaustion and momentum shifts at the end of strong trends.
Pattern Logic:
The Three Line Strike is a 4-candle pattern that typically signals a sharp reversal after a sustained directional move. This script detects both bullish and bearish variations using strict criteria to ensure accuracy.
Bullish Three Line Strike:
* Previous three candles must be bearish (red)
* Each of these candles must close progressively lower (indicating a strong downtrend)
* The current candle must:
* Be bullish (green)
* Open below the prior close
* Completely engulf the previous three candles by closing above the first candle's open
* And make a higher high than the last 3 bars — confirming a strong reversal
* Once confirmed, a green shaded box is drawn around the 4-bar zone to highlight the pattern
Bearish Three Line Strike:
* Previous three candles must be bullish (green)
* Each must close progressively higher (indicating a strong uptrend)
* The current candle must:
* Be bearish (red)
* Open above the prior close
* Completely engulf the prior three candles by closing below the first candle's open
* And make a lower low than the last 3 bars — confirming downside strength
* A red shaded box is plotted around the 4-bar formation to emphasize the reversal zone
Why this is unique:
Most candlestick tools focus on 1–2 bar patterns. The Three Line Strike goes a step further by combining trend exhaustion (3 same-colored candles) with a full reversal engulfing candle. This pattern is both rare and highly expressive of sentiment shift, making it a standout signal for discretionary and algorithmic traders alike.
How users can benefit:
* High-probability setups: Filters out weak signals using multi-bar confirmation logic
* Clear visual cues: Dynamic shaded boxes and labels make spotting reversals effortless
* Cross-timeframe compatible: Works on intraday and higher timeframes across all markets
* Real-time alerts: Get notified instantly when a bullish or bearish setup forms
This indicator is a valuable addition for traders who want to capture key reversals backed by strong multi-bar price action logic. Whether you are a price action purist or a pattern-based strategist, the IU Three Line Strike gives you a reliable edge.

Strike Price selection by GoldenJetThis script is designed to assist options traders in selecting appropriate strike prices based on the latest prices of two financial instruments. It retrieves the latest prices, rounds them to the nearest significant value, and calculates potential strike prices for both call and put options. The results are displayed in a customizable table, allowing traders to quickly see the relevant strike prices for their trading decisions.
The strike prices shown are In-The-Money (ITM), which helps options traders in several ways:
Saving from Theta Decay: On expiry day, ITM options experience less time decay (Theta), which can help preserve the option's value.
Capturing Good Points: ITM options have a higher Delta, meaning they move more in line with the underlying asset's price. This can help traders capture a good amount of points as the underlying asset's price changes.
In essence, this tool simplifies the process of determining strike prices, making it easier for traders to make informed decisions and potentially improve their trading outcomes.

Correlation Drift📈 Correlation Drift
The Correlation Drift indicator is designed to detect shifts in market momentum by analyzing the relationship between correlation and price lag. It combines the principles of correlation analysis and lag factor measurement to provide a unique perspective on trend alignment and momentum shifts.
🔍 Core Concept:
The indicator calculates the Correlation vs PLF Ratio, which measures the alignment between an asset’s price movement and a chosen benchmark (e.g., BTCUSD). This ratio reflects how well the asset’s momentum matches the market trend while accounting for price lag.
📊 How It Works:
Correlation Calculation:
The script calculates the correlation between the asset and the selected benchmark over a specified period.
A higher correlation indicates that the asset’s price movements are in sync with the benchmark.
Price Lag Factor (PLF) Calculation:
The PLF measures the difference between long-term and short-term price momentum, dynamically scaled by recent volatility.
It highlights potential overextensions or lags in the asset’s price movements.
Combining Correlation and PLF:
The Correlation vs PLF Ratio combines these metrics to detect momentum shifts relative to the trend.
The result is a dynamic, smoothed histogram that visualizes whether the asset is leading or lagging behind the trend.
💡 How to Interpret:
Positive Values (Green/Aqua Bars):
Indicates bullish alignment with the trend.
Aqua: Rising bullish momentum, suggesting continuation.
Teal: Decreasing bullish momentum, signaling caution.
Negative Values (Purple/Fuchsia Bars):
Indicates bearish divergence from the trend.
Fuchsia: Falling bearish momentum, indicating increasing pressure.
Purple: Rising bearish momentum, suggesting potential reversal.
Clipping for Readability:
Values are clipped between -3 and +3 to prevent outliers from compressing the histogram.
This ensures clear visualization of typical momentum shifts while still marking extreme cases.
🚀 Best Practices:
Use Correlation Drift as a confirmation tool in conjunction with trend indicators (e.g., moving averages) to identify momentum alignment or divergence.
Look for transitions from positive to negative (or vice versa) as signals of potential trend shifts.
Combine with volume analysis to strengthen confidence in breakout or breakdown signals.
⚠️ Key Features:
Customizable Settings: Adjust the correlation length, PLF length, and smoothing factor to fine-tune the indicator for different market conditions.
Visual Gradient: The histogram changes color based on the strength and direction of the ratio, making it easy to identify shifts at a glance.
Zero Line Reference: Clearly distinguishes between bullish and bearish momentum zones.
🔧 Recommended Settings:
Correlation Length: 14 (for short to medium-term analysis)
PLF Length: 50 (to smooth out noise while capturing trend shifts)
Smoothing Factor: 3 (for enhanced clarity without excessive lag)
Benchmark Symbol: BTCUSD (or another relevant market indicator)
By providing a quantitative measure of trend alignment while accounting for price lag, the Correlation Drift indicator helps traders make more informed decisions during periods of momentum change. Whether you are trading crypto, forex, or equities, this tool can be a powerful addition to your momentum-based trading strategies.

Goldman Sachs Risk Appetite ProxyRisk appetite indicators serve as barometers of market psychology, measuring investors' collective willingness to engage in risk-taking behavior. According to Mosley & Singer (2008), "cross-asset risk sentiment indicators provide valuable leading signals for market direction by capturing the underlying psychological state of market participants before it fully manifests in price action."
The GSRAI methodology aligns with modern portfolio theory, which emphasizes the importance of cross-asset correlations during different market regimes. As noted by Ang & Bekaert (2002), "asset correlations tend to increase during market stress, exhibiting asymmetric patterns that can be captured through multi-asset sentiment indicators."
Implementation Methodology
Component Selection
Our implementation follows the core framework outlined by Goldman Sachs research, focusing on four key components:
Credit Spreads (High Yield Credit Spread)
As noted by Duca et al. (2016), "credit spreads provide a market-based assessment of default risk and function as an effective barometer of economic uncertainty." Higher spreads generally indicate deteriorating risk appetite.
Volatility Measures (VIX)
Baker & Wurgler (2006) established that "implied volatility serves as a direct measure of market fear and uncertainty." The VIX, often called the "fear gauge," maintains an inverse relationship with risk appetite.
Equity/Bond Performance Ratio (SPY/IEF)
According to Connolly et al. (2005), "the relative performance of stocks versus bonds offers significant insight into market participants' risk preferences and flight-to-safety behavior."
Commodity Ratio (Oil/Gold)
Baur & McDermott (2010) demonstrated that "gold often functions as a safe haven during market turbulence, while oil typically performs better during risk-on environments, making their ratio an effective risk sentiment indicator."
Standardization Process
Each component undergoes z-score normalization to enable cross-asset comparisons, following the statistical approach advocated by Burdekin & Siklos (2012). The z-score transformation standardizes each variable by subtracting its mean and dividing by its standard deviation: Z = (X - μ) / σ
This approach allows for meaningful aggregation of different market signals regardless of their native scales or volatility characteristics.
Signal Integration
The four standardized components are equally weighted and combined to form a composite score. This democratic weighting approach is supported by Rapach et al. (2010), who found that "simple averaging often outperforms more complex weighting schemes in financial applications due to estimation error in the optimization process."
The final index is scaled to a 0-100 range, with:
Values above 70 indicating "Risk-On" market conditions
Values below 30 indicating "Risk-Off" market conditions
Values between 30-70 representing neutral risk sentiment
Limitations and Differences from Original Implementation
Proprietary Components
The original Goldman Sachs indicator incorporates additional proprietary elements not publicly disclosed. As Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research (2019) notes, "our comprehensive risk appetite framework incorporates proprietary positioning data and internal liquidity metrics that enhance predictive capability."
Technical Limitations
Pine Script v6 imposes certain constraints that prevent full replication:
Structural Limitations: Functions like plot, hline, and bgcolor must be defined in the global scope rather than conditionally, requiring workarounds for dynamic visualization.
Statistical Processing: Advanced statistical methods used in the original model, such as Kalman filtering or regime-switching models described by Ang & Timmermann (2012), cannot be fully implemented within Pine Script's constraints.
Data Availability: As noted by Kilian & Park (2009), "the quality and frequency of market data significantly impacts the effectiveness of sentiment indicators." Our implementation relies on publicly available data sources that may differ from Goldman Sachs' institutional data feeds.
Empirical Performance
While a formal backtest comparison with the original GSRAI is beyond the scope of this implementation, research by Froot & Ramadorai (2005) suggests that "publicly accessible proxies of proprietary sentiment indicators can capture a significant portion of their predictive power, particularly during major market turning points."
