Buyers & Sellers / RangeBuyers & Sellers / Range
Volatility oscillator that measures the relationship of Buying & Selling Pressure to True Range.
In other words, how much % Buyers and Sellers separately occupy the Bar
BSP is a part of Bar Range. Entire bar metrics will always have bigger value than its composite elements (body and wicks).
Since there will be NO chance of BP or SP being more than ATR, their ratio would serve crucial Volatility details.
Hence, we can relate each of them to the overall range.
As a result we have simultaneous measurements of proportions buyers and sellers to the bar.
Default mode shows BP/ATR and SP/ATR mirrored. When one rises, the other falls to compensate.
Buying Pressure / True Range ⬆️🟢 ⬇️🔵
Selling Pressure / True Range ⬆️🔴 ⬇️🟠
They are being averaged in 2 different ways:
Pre-average first, then relate as ratio
Related first, then Averaged
Enable "Preaveraged" to use already averaged BSP and Ranges in ratio instead of averaging the ratio of BSP to individual bar. For example, we're looking BP/ATR, in calculation of buyers / Range it will use "MA(Buying Pressure) / MA(True Range)" instead of "MA(Buying Pressure / True Range)".
Due such calculation, it is going to be more lagging than in off mode. Nevertheless, it reduces noise from the impact of individual bar change.
Second way of noise reduction is enabling "Body / Range"
BSP Body / Range where Bullish & Bearish Body = Buying & Selling Pressure - Relevant Wick
Buying Body = Buying Pressure - Lower Wick
Selling Body = Selling Pressure - Upper Wick
And only then it is divided to ATR.
Note that Balance line differs because body is less than it used to be with wicks. So change in wicks won't play any role in computing the ratio anymore. Thus, signals of their crossings will be more reliable than in default mode.

Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrendThe Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is a popular technical analysis tool used by traders to identify trends and determine optimal entry and exit points in financial markets. This indicator combines elements of the SuperTrend indicator and trailing stop loss orders to provide valuable insights into market trends and potential reversals. By incorporating Average True Range (ATR) calculations, it adapts to market volatility, making it suitable for various trading strategies. Let's explore the key use cases and benefits of the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator:
Trend Identification:
The primary purpose of the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is to identify market trends. It plots two lines on the chart: an upper band (referred to as the "up" line) and a lower band (referred to as the "dn" line). The direction of these bands helps traders determine the prevailing trend. When the price is above the upper band, it suggests a bullish trend, and when it is below the lower band, it indicates a bearish trend.
Entry and Exit Signals:
The Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator generates entry and exit signals based on trend changes. When the trend changes from bearish to bullish, a buy signal is triggered, indicating a potential entry point. Conversely, when the trend changes from bullish to bearish, a sell signal is generated, suggesting a possible exit or short-selling opportunity. These signals can be used in conjunction with other trading strategies or indicators to enhance trading decisions.
Trailing Stop Loss Orders:
One of the distinguishing features of the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is its ability to incorporate trailing stop loss orders. Traders can use the indicator's upper and lower bands as trailing stop levels to protect profits and manage risk. For example, in a bullish trend, the stop loss level can be set at the lower band, and as the price rises, the stop loss level trails along with it, locking in profits and reducing potential losses.
Volatility Adaptation:
By incorporating the ATR (Average True Range) calculation, the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator adjusts its sensitivity to market volatility. A higher ATR multiplier widens the distance between the price and the bands, accommodating higher volatility, while a lower multiplier tightens the bands during periods of lower volatility. This adaptability makes the indicator versatile and suitable for various market conditions.
Alerts and Notifications:
The Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator provides the ability to set alerts for specific events, such as trend changes, buy signals, and sell signals. Traders can receive real-time notifications via email, SMS, or on-platform alerts, ensuring they stay informed about potential trading opportunities and important market developments.
Conclusion:
The Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to identify trends, generate entry and exit signals, and effectively manage risk. Its ability to adapt to market volatility and incorporate trailing stop loss orders enhances trading strategies and decision-making. By combining the SuperTrend concept with trailing stop loss functionality, this indicator provides traders with a comprehensive approach to trend analysis and risk management. Whether used in isolation or in conjunction with other indicators, the Trailing Stop Loss SuperTrend indicator offers a powerful tool for navigating the dynamic world of financial markets.
Baseline Indicator [SS]Hello,
This is the Baseline Indicator. I modelled it after one of my favourite Tradingview chart types, the baseline type (shown in image below):
I really love this chart, but I wanted a way for it to:
a) Be static and not move with the chart; and
b) Auto calculate the baseline average for a specified period of time.
So I created this indicator which does essentially that.
What it does:
The indicator will calculate the average between the high and low of a user defined timeframe. The timeframe is customizable, but it defaults to daily. It will then plot the average (or baseline) of the high and low over that specified timeframe. The default plot is a candle plot. It will change the colours of the candles to green (for above the baseline) and red (for below the baseline). The chart below shows an example of the indicator with candles on SPY. The Baseline timeframe is set to 1 hour:
You can choose whether you want to plot the current baseline average or the previous.
The advantage to plotting the previous is that this provide a static reference point and can be helpful on the 30 and 60 minute timeframe. Here is an example:
In this example on SPY, the indicator is plotting the previous average. You can see SPY is using this as support and creating a "staircase" pattern. This is indicative of a trend.
The example above is using the previous day average on the daily timeframe during a sideways day. You can see that the price action accumulates and is consistently drawn to this point.
Inversely, you can manually select your own baseline price if you want a static, self-calculated baseline reference point.
Options and Settings:
Below is an outline of the menu as well as a brief explanation of the options and settings:
To view your chart as a baseline chart, make sure you select the "Line" input and then hide the candles on your chart using your chart settings (see image below):
The purple arrow shows how to hide the candles. You select the "Eye" Icon which should then become greyed out and you will be left with the baseline chart from the indicator.
Why use baseline average?
The average between the high and low of a designated timeframe is a very helpful value. In choppy markets, this acts as a key point of frequent return. In trendy markets, this acts as a reference point of trend direction and strength. I encourage you to play around with the indicator and review some historical charts using it, and you will see some patterns emerge!
Final thoughts:
I have also done a quick tutorial video on the indicator for your reference, you can check that out below:
Thanks for checking out the indicator and I hope you like it!

Settings
* Moving Average Period: The moving average period used to generate the moving average line for the bar chart. Default=14
* Dot Size: The size of the dot that indicates when the moving average of the CVD is breached. Default=10
* Dot Transparency: The transparency of the dot that indicates when the moving average of the CVD is breached. Default=50
* EMA: The exponential moving average that the price must break through, in addition to the CVD moving
* Accumulation Length: Period used to generate the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the bar chart. Default=14
Introduction
Velocity = Change in Position over time
Acceleration = Change in Velocity over time
For this indicator, Position is synonymous with the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) value. What the indicator attempts to do is to determine when the rate of acceleration of buying or selling volume is changing in either or buying or selling direction in a meaningful way.
Calculations
The CVD, upon which these changes is calculated using candle bodies and wicks. For a red candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks, while Selling Volume is calculated multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - in addition to the spread percentage of the candle body.
For a green candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - plus the spread percentage of the candle body - while Selling Volume is calculated using only the spread percentage average of the top and bottom wicks.
How to Interpret
The difference between the buying volume and selling volume is the source of what generates the red and green bars on the indicator. But, more specifically, this indicator uses an exponential moving average of these volumes (14 EMA by default) to determine that actual bar size. The change in this value indicates the velocity of volume and, ultimately, the red and green bars on the indicator.
- When the bar height is zero, that means that there is no velocity, which indicates either a balance between buyers and sellers, or very little volume.
- When the bar height remains largely unchanged from period to period - and not zero - it means that the velocity of volume is constant in one direction. That direction is indicated by the color of the bar. Buyers are dominating when the bars are green, and sellers are dominating when the bars are red.
- When the bar height increases, regardless of bar color, it means that volume is accelerating in a buying direction.
- When the bar height decreases, regardless of bar color, it means that volume is accelerating in a selling direction.
The white line represents the moving average of the bar values, while the red and white - and green and white - dots show when the moving average has been breached by the Cumulative Volume Delta value AND the price has broken the 7 EMA (which is user editable). As with most moving averages, a breach can indicate a move in a bearish or bullish direction, and the sensitivity can be adjusted for differing market conditions
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
For better use of the signal, consider the following,
1. Volume moving below the moving average can indicate that the volume may be ready to exit an overbought condition, especially if the bars were making lower highs prior to the signal - regardless of bar color.
3. Volume moving above the moving average can indicate that the volume may be ready to exit an oversold condition, especially if the bars were making higher lows prior to the signal - regardless of bar color.
Additionally, a green dot that occurs with a positive (green) Cumulative Volume Delta can indicate a buying condition, while a red dot that occurs with a negative (red) Cumulative Volume Delta can indicate a selling condition. What this means is that buying or selling momentum briefly went against the direction of buying or selling Cumulative Volume Delta , but was not strong enough to change the buying or selling direction. In cases like this, once the volume begins to accelerate again in the direction of the buying or selling volume - indicated by a red or green dot - then the price is more likely to favor the direction of the Cumulative Volume Delta and its corresponding acceleration.
Although a red or green signal can indicate a change in direction, this script cannot predict the magnitude or duration of the change. It is best used with accompanying indicators that can be used to confirm a direction change, such as a moving average, or a supply or demand range.
Modern Portfolio Management IndicatorAfter weeks of grueling over this indicator, I am excited to be releasing it!
Intro:
This is not a sexy, technical or math based indicator that will give you buy and sell signals or anything fancy, but it is an indicator that I created in hopes to bridge a gap I have noticed. That gap is the lack of indicators and technical resources for those who also like to plan their investments. This indicator is tailored to those who are either established investors and to those who are looking to get into investing but don't really know where to start.
The premise of this indicator is based on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT). Before we get into the indicator itself, I think its important to provide a quick synopsis of MPT.
About MPT:
Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is an investment framework that was developed by Harry Markowitz in the 1950s. It is based on the idea that an investor can optimize their investment portfolio by considering the trade-off between risk and return. MPT emphasizes diversification and holds that the risk of an individual asset should be assessed in the context of its contribution to the overall portfolio's risk. The theory suggests that by diversifying investments across different asset classes with varying levels of risk, an investor can achieve a more efficient portfolio that maximizes returns for a given level of risk or minimizes risk for a desired level of return. MPT also introduced the concept of the efficient frontier, which represents the set of portfolios that offer the highest expected return for a given level of risk. MPT has been widely adopted and used by investors, financial advisors, and portfolio managers to construct and manage portfolios.
So how does this indicator help with MPT?
The thinking and theory that went behind this indicator was this: I wanted an indicator, or really just a "way" to test and back-test ticker performance over time and under various circumstances and help manage risk.
Over the last 3 years we have seen a massive bull market, followed by a pretty huge bear market, followed by a very unexpected bull market. We have been and continue to be plagued with economic and political uncertainty that seems to constantly be looming over everyone with each waking day. Some people have liquidated their retirement investments, while others are fomoing in to catch this current bull run. But which tickers are sound and how tickers and funds have compared amongst each other remains somewhat difficult to ascertain, absent manually reviewing and calculating each ticker individually.
That is where this indicator comes in. This indicator permits the user to define up to 5 equities that they are potentially interested in investing in, or are already invested in. The user can then select a specific period in time, say from the beginning of 2022 till now. The user can then define how much they want to invest in each company by number of shares, so if they want to buy 1 share a week, or 2 shares a month, they can input these variables into the indicator to draw conclusions. As many brokers are also now permitting fractional share trading, this ability is also integrated into the indicator. So for shares, you can put in, say, 0.25 shares of SPY and the indicator will accept this and account for this fractional share.
The indicator will then show you a portfolio summary of what your earnings and returns would be for the defined period. It will provide a percent return as well as the projected P&L based on your desired investment amount and frequency.
But it goes beyond just that, you can also have the indicator display a simple forecasting projection of the portfolio. It will show the projected P&L and % Return over various periods in time on each of the ticker (see image below):
The indicator will also break down your portfolio allocation, it will show where the majority of your holdings are and where the majority of your P&L in coming from (best performers will show a green fill and worst will show a red fill, see image below):
This colour coding also extends to the portfolio breakdown itself.
Dollar cost averaging (DCA) is incorporated into the indicator itself, by assuming ongoing contributions. If you want to stop contributions at a certain point, you just select your end time for contributions at the point in which you would stop contributing.
The indicator also provides some basic fundamental information about the company tickers (if applicable). Simply select the "Fundamental" chart and it will display a breakdown of the fundamentals, including dividends paid, market cap and earnings yield:
The indicator also provides a correlation assessment of each holding against each other holding. This emphasizes the profound role of diversification on portfolios. The less correlation you have in your portfolio among your holdings, the better diversified you are. As well, if you have holdings that are perfectly inverse other holdings, you have a pseudo hedge against the downturn of one of your holdings. This is even more helpful if the inverse is a company with solid fundamentals.
In the below example you will see NASDAQ:IRDM in the portfolio. You will be able to see that NASDAQ:IRDM has a slight inverse relationship to SPY:
Yet IRDM has solid fundamentals and is performing well fundamentally. Thus, this makes IRDIM a solid addition to your portfolio as it can potentially hedge against a downturn for SPY and is less risky than simply holding an inverse leveraged share on SPY which is most likely just going to cost you money than make you money.
Concluding remarks:
There are many fun and interesting things you can do with this indicator and I encourage you to try it out and have fun with it! The overall objective with the indicator is to help you plan for your portfolio and not necessarily to manage your portfolio. If you have a few stocks you are looking at and contemplating investing in, this will help you run some theoretical scenarios with this stock based on historical performance and also help give you a feel of how it will perform in the future based on past behaviour.
It is important to remember that past behaviour does not indicate future behaviour, but the indicator provides you with tools to get a feel for how a stock has performed under various circumstances and get a general feel of the fundamentals of the company you could potentially be investing in.
Please note, this indicator is not meant to replace full, fundamental analyses of individual companies. It is simply meant to give you a "gist" of how companies are fundamentally and how they have performed historically.
I hope you enjoy it!
Safe trades everyone!

Volume Pressure Based Buy and Sell SignalsThis script uses a volume pressure indicator to generate buy and sell signals. The volume pressure indicator is calculated by taking the sum of the product of volume and price change over a specified period of time, and then dividing that sum by the total volume over the same period. This gives a measure of the amount of buying pressure or selling pressure in the market.
The script then compares the volume pressure indicator to a moving average of the volume pressure indicator. When the volume pressure indicator crosses above the moving average, a buy signal is generated. When the volume pressure indicator crosses below the moving average, a sell signal is generated.
This script is beneficial to traders because it can help them to identify potential trend reversals. When the volume pressure indicator crosses above the moving average, it indicates that there is a growing amount of buying pressure in the market. This could be a sign that the trend is about to reverse from a downtrend to an uptrend. Conversely, when the volume pressure indicator crosses below the moving average, it indicates that there is a growing amount of selling pressure in the market. This could be a sign that the trend is about to reverse from an uptrend to a downtrend.
Market Smith IndicatorsMarket Smith has a collection of tools that are useful for identifying stocks. On their charts they have a 21/50/200 day moving averages, high and low pivot points, a relative strength line, and a relative strength rating. This script contains indicators for the following:
21/50/200 Day Moving Averages
High and Low pivot points
A Relative Strength line
A Relative Strength rating
21/50/200 Day Moving Averages
The 21/50/200 Day moving averages are simple moving averages. They are visible in any chart increment but to use them properly you need to set you charts to be by day. Labels will appear on the right of the lines to show that they are representative of 21/50/200 day moving averages.
High and Low pivot points
The High and Low pivot points are green for high pivot points and red for low points. They are show in the Market Smith style with the numbers simply above the pivot points.
Relative Strength line
The Relative Strength line is a line that shows the strength of the stock compared to the S&P 500. In this case we utilize the SPX ticker to compare the stock to. This line is almost identical to the Market Smith tool and is an excellent tool to determine how a stock is doing compared to the market. When movements in the stock and shown with sideways trending of the RS line that means that the stock is following the market. When a stock is outperforming the market the RS line will follow.
Relative Strength rating
Thank you to ©Fred6724 for the RS Rating inspiration. They wrote excellent open source code for a RS Rating comparable to Market Smith. As the RS Rating in Market Smith is not open source it is difficult to know exactly how it is being calculated. After simplifying Fred's code and building upon a few ideas I had I compared the RS Rating to multiple Market Smith Ratings. The rating is close but often off by multiple points. If there is anyone who has a better idea on how to get this rating or how to improve on the code please send me a PM or fork this project. This rating is a good indicator to see how a certain stock compares to other stocks in the market. In Market Smith they are able to utilize their database to compare it to all other stocks. Since we do not have access to the same tools we are only able to compare it to the percentage of stocks above the 200, 150, 100, 50, and 20 day moving average.
Using these tools together are a small fraction what make people like Bill O'neill and Jim Roppel so successful. I plan on updating the RS Rating as I continue to work on this project so if there is anyone who has ideas then please send me a PM. Ultimately the goal of this project is to have a solution that is identical to Market Smith.

HILOCLOP AnalysisThe "HILOCLOP Analysis" indicator is designed to analyze price data based on different conditions and provide insights into market trends and patterns. Let's break down its features and understand its potential usefulness in trading:
Sample Length: The indicator allows the user to specify the sample length, which determines the number of bars or periods considered for the analysis. This parameter can be adjusted to capture short-term or long-term trends and patterns in the market.
Raw Up/Down Analysis: The indicator calculates the number of occurrences where the current price values (high, low, open, close) are higher or lower than their previous values. It provides separate counts for each price component. By visualizing these counts on the chart, traders can identify periods of upward or downward movement in the price data.
HICLOP Analysis: The indicator offers a color scheme option called "HICLOP," which determines the color of the plotted results. If the HICLOP analysis is enabled, the plots representing raw up/down counts will have different colors based on whether the current count is higher or lower than the previous count. This color coding helps traders quickly identify changes in price trends.
Unchecking this Box will Show the general trend.
Raw HICLOP Color Scheme
Trend Color Scheme
Analysis Up vs. Down: The indicator provides an option to analyze instances where all four price components (high, low, open, close) are higher or lower than their respective previous values. This analysis helps traders identify periods of strong upward or downward movement in the market.
Analysis High vs. Low: The indicator compares the number of occurrences where the current high is higher than the previous high and the current low is higher than the previous low. It provides insights into whether the market is experiencing higher highs or higher lows, which can help traders determine the strength of an upward or downward trend.
Analysis Open vs. Close: The indicator compares the number of occurrences where the current close is higher than the previous close and the current open is higher than the previous open. This analysis helps traders assess the relationship between opening and closing prices, providing insights into the strength of buying or selling pressure in the market.
The usefulness of the "HILOCLOP Analysis" indicator in trading depends on the specific trading strategy and the trader's preferences. Here are a few potential use cases:
Trend Identification: By analyzing the raw up/down counts and the HICLOP color scheme, traders can identify trends and changes in price momentum. Increasing raw up counts and corresponding color changes to positive values may indicate an upward trend, while increasing raw down counts and negative color changes may suggest a downward trend.
Confirmation of Breakouts: Traders often look for confirmation of breakouts from key levels or chart patterns. The "Analysis Up V Dn" feature can help identify instances where all four price components simultaneously confirm a breakout, indicating a potentially significant move in the market.
Trend Reversals: The "Analysis High V Low" and "Analysis Open V Close" features can provide insights into potential trend reversals. For example, if there are more higher highs than higher lows, it may indicate a weakening trend, potentially signaling a reversal or a correction.
Disparity IndexThe Disparity Index is a technical momentum indicator that measures the relative position of the most recent closing price to a selected moving average. It calculates the percentage difference between the closing price and the moving average, providing insights into price momentum and potential reversals.
The formula for the Disparity Index is: * 100, where Close is the most recent closing price and n-period MA is the chosen moving average over n periods.
The Disparity Index can be used in various ways:
Trend Identification: The Disparity Index helps identify the relationship between the price and a chosen moving average. A positive value indicates that the price is above the moving average, suggesting bullish momentum, while a negative value suggests bearish momentum.
Overbought and Oversold Conditions: The Disparity Index can be used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions. When the index reaches an extremely high value, it may indicate an overbought condition, implying a possible price correction. Conversely, an extremely low value can signal an oversold condition, indicating a potential price rebound.
Divergence: Traders can use the Disparity Index to identify divergence between the price and the indicator. Divergence occurs when the price and the Disparity Index move in opposite directions, potentially signaling an upcoming price reversal.
Personal Strategy: When the Disparity Index generates a green background, it suggests a potential bullish signal. This occurs when the Disparity Index crosses above the oversold threshold or exhibits a bullish reversal pattern. The green background signifies an area where buyers may have gained control, indicating a favorable environment for initiating long positions. This approach allows you to capitalize on potential upward price movements and join the uptrend.
On the other hand, when the Disparity Index generates a red background, it implies a potential bearish signal. This occurs when the Disparity Index crosses below the overbought threshold or exhibits a bearish reversal pattern. The red background highlights a zone where sellers might dominate, indicating a higher likelihood of downward price movements. By considering selling opportunities in these zones, you can position yourself to profit from potential downside moves and align with the prevailing downtrend.
The Disparity Index can be customized by using different types of moving averages such as simple moving averages (SMAs), exponential moving averages (EMAs), or weighted moving averages (WMAs). Additionally, it can be smoothed using another moving average to reduce noise and generate smoother signals, improving trend identification.
In trending markets, the Disparity Index is particularly effective as a trend indicator due to its ability to quickly capture price changes. It can provide early indications of trend strength and potential reversals, allowing traders to enter or exit positions in a timely manner. This advantage over traditional moving averages makes the Disparity Index a valuable tool for trend-following strategies.

Webby's Tight IndicatorWebby's Tight Indicator is used to measure a securities volatility relative to itself over time. This is achieved by taking the average of three short term ATR's (average true range) and creating a ratio versus three longer term ATR's.
Mike Webster recently stated he is using the 3,5,8 for the short term ATR's and the 55,89,144 for the long term ATR's. All of the ATR lengths are part of the Fibonacci sequence.
The ratio of the ATR's is then calculated and plotted as a histogram with 0 representing the ATR's being equal. As a stocks short term ATR contracts the histogram will rise above 0 meaning volatility in the short term is contracting relative to long term volatility. On the other hand if the short ATR's are expanding versus the long term ATR's the histogram will fall below 0 and turn red, signifying short term volatility is greater than long term volatility.
The easy visualization of this indicator allows you to quickly see when a stock is in a tight range and could be ready for a potential breakout to the long side or breakdown to the short side.
In this example we see tight price action with a blue histogram followed by volatility to the upside coinciding with a breakout.
In this example we see volatility expanding as a stock continues to fall.
To help differentiate between trending contraction or expansion and just short term blips 5-day exponential moving average of the ratio is also plotted on the histogram and dynamically changes colors as it rises and falls.
Indicator options include:

Webby's RS LineThe Relative Strength (RS) line is something many investors are familiar with. It is used to measure a stocks performance versus the S&P 500 and is typically calculated by dividing the closing price of the stock by the closing price of the S&P. This means if a stock moves up and the S&P moves down or the stock moves up more than the S&P the RS line will increase, if the stock moves down while the S&P moves up the line will decrease.
While the standard RS line is a powerful tool, Mike Webster recently discussed how he has made changes to the standard RS line and also uses a 21 exponential moving average of the RS line to help guide his decision making. This script puts those new twists on the standard RS line, by first calculating the RS line using the low of both the security and the S&P rather than the closing prices. Next it measures the 21-day exponential moving average of the RS line and plots the distance between the two as a histogram.
A strong trending stock that is out performing the market will see an extended period of a positive blue histogram signifying the RS line is above the 21-ema.
While on the other hand a stock in a downtrend that is underperforming will see a negative red histogram a red histogram signifying the RS line is below the 21-ema.
On top of all of that, the indicator also keeps 3 & 13 exponential moving average of the distance between the RS line and the 21 ema to help identify shorter term relative strength and capture more immediate shifts in momentum. Both of those are plotted on the histogram as well and will change color as they rise and fall making it easy to spot the direction.
Indicator options include:
Choose symbol to measure performance against
Change histogram colors
Choose ema line width
* Note this indicator does not plot the actual RS line, it is the histogram representing the distance between the RS line calculated using the lows and the 21 ema, as well as the two ema's of the relationship.
Webby's RSI 2.0Webby's RSI (Really Simple Indicator) 2.0 or version 5.150 as Mike himself calls it, builds upon the original Webby RSI by changing the way we measure extension from the 21-day exponential moving average.
Instead using the percentage of the low versus the 21-day exponential moving average, version 2 uses a multiple of the securities 50 day ATR (average true range) to determine the extension.
Version 2.0 also comes with some new additions, such as measuring the high vs 21-day exponential moving average when a security is below it, as well as an ATR extension from the 10-day simple moving average that Mike looks to as a guide to take partials.
Sector MomentumThis indicator shows the momentum of a market sector. Under the hood, it's the MACD of the number of stocks above their 20 SMA in a specific sectors. The best insight it gives is to tell if the market is doing a sector rotation or having a full blown correction.
Users have the options to choose a specific sector out of the 11 sectors:
XLB, XLC, XLE, XLF, XLI, XLK, XLP, XLRE, XLU, XLV, XLY or show all them them by adding multiple indicators.
Use this indicator similar to MACD to look for momentum acceleration, deceleration and turn in a sector. More importantly, users can open up the indicator for all sectors and then compare between each.
Examples:
1. When we see momentum slows down in XLP and turn of XLK, it's a sign of sector rotation from consumer staple to tech. Money is going from defensive to riskier assets. Market is leaning towards risk-on mode. Stocks in tech have higher probability to outperform those in consumer staple.
2. When we see momentum subside across all sectors all at once or one by one, particularly both XLP, XLK/XLY, we'd expect market breadth is taking a hit across all sectors. This is not a sector rotation. A short to mid term market correction or drawdown is very likely.
Trend Reversal PredictorTrend Reversal Predictor - An Indicator for Identifying Potential Trend Reversals
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals in the financial markets. It combines multiple criteria including trend identification, volume analysis, average net price movement, and RSI (Relative Strength Index) crossing its moving average to highlight potential danger zones where a trend reversal may occur.
How it Works:
1. Trend Identification: The script uses the Hull Moving Average (HMA) and Parabolic SAR to determine the prevailing trend. The HMA is a smoothing indicator that reduces lag and provides a clear representation of the trend direction.
2. Danger Zone Identification: The script analyzes volume-related metrics and average net price movement to identify potential danger zones where trend reversals might occur. It calculates the rate of change of buying and selling volume and compares it to their respective averages. Additionally, it considers the average net price movement over a specified period.
3. RSI Integration: The script incorporates the RSI, a momentum oscillator, to evaluate overbought and oversold conditions. It calculates the RSI based on user-defined length and source inputs. It also calculates the RSI's moving average using different types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, etc.) specified by the user.
4. Trend Ending Prediction: By combining the conditions of trend identification, volume analysis, average net price movement, and RSI crossing its moving average, the script identifies potential trend reversal points or danger zones. These danger zones are highlighted on the chart using different colors to represent potential uptrend and downtrend reversals.
How to Use:
2. Danger Zone Highlighting: The script highlights potential danger zones on the chart using orange color for uptrend danger zones and blue color for downtrend danger zones. These danger zones suggest areas where a trend reversal may occur.
3. Additional Analysis: Traders can further analyze the danger zones based on their trading strategy and risk management. Consider other technical indicators, price action, and fundamental factors to make informed trading decisions.
Please note that this script provides potential signals for trend reversals but does not guarantee their occurrence. It is important to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management techniques to make well-informed trading decisions.
By understanding the underlying concepts and using the provided visual cues, traders can leverage the Trend Reversal Predictor to potentially identify potential trend reversals in the markets.
Dynamic Trend RipperThe "Dynamic Trend Ripper" indicator is designed to identify dynamic support and resistance levels based on exponential moving averages (EMA) and the average true range (ATR). It aims to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities by visualizing dynamic support and resistance areas on the price chart. Think of it as more of overbought or oversold areas then true support and resistance,
The indicator calculates two sets of EMAs: two for the top cloud and two for the bottom cloud. The lengths of these EMAs are determined by user-defined input parameters. Additionally, the indicator uses the ATR to adjust the EMAs, enhancing their effectiveness as dynamic support and resistance levels.
The top cloud is formed by adding the ATR to the top fast EMA and subtracting the ATR from the top slow EMA. The bottom cloud is formed by subtracting the ATR from the bottom fast EMA and adding the ATR to the bottom slow EMA.
The indicator plots the dynamic OB (Overbought) level, which is the top fast EMA plus the ATR multiplied by the OBOS multiplier. It also plots the dynamic OS (Oversold) level, which is the top slow EMA minus the ATR multiplied by the OBOS multiplier. These levels are visualized using colored lines on the chart.
The top fast EMA, top slow EMA, bottom fast EMA, and bottom slow EMA are also plotted on the chart. The area between the top slow EMA and top fast EMA is filled with a color, forming the top cloud. The area between the bottom fast EMA and bottom slow EMA is filled with another color, forming the bottom cloud. The color of the clouds changes based on the relationship between the top fast EMA and top slow EMA. If the Regular Fast EMA is greater than the Regular slow EMA, indicating a bullish trend, the clouds are displayed in green. Otherwise, if the top fast EMA is less than the top slow EMA, indicating a bearish trend, the clouds are displayed in red.
The indicator can be used to identify potential support and resistance zones where the price may encounter obstacles or reverse its direction. Traders can look for price interactions with the dynamic support and resistance levels, as well as the OB and OS levels, to make trading decisions. For example, a trader might consider entering a short trade when the price approaches the top cloud, or a long trade when the price bounces off the bottom cloud.
By incorporating the ATR, which measures volatility, the indicator adjusts the EMAs to adapt to changing market conditions. Traders can watch for price reactions or reversals near these levels to gauge potential overextension or exhaustion in the price movement. I'm not going to claim this as my own idea, but I will say that I came up with this version myself. I haven't seen anyone else take this approach which is why I think it can be revolutionary to trading.

IKH Cloud V1.0 (nextSignals)The IKH Cloud V1.0 (nextSignals) is an Ichomoku-type indicator that can be used for various trading strategies. It's based on a ThinkScript study from @stephenharlinmd (aka nextSignals) that uses an instantaneous moving average as the base MA, and a custom trailing stop. Both of these components form the cloud.
Indicator Components and Calculation
The indicator comprises two key components:
Instantaneous Moving Average (IMA) : This is a type of moving average that places a greater weight on the most recent data points, and is based on Ehler's book "Rocket Science for Traders". This is slightly different from the Doc's original, but is very approximate.
Trailing Stop : This component helps determine the stop loss level that moves along with the price. The trailing stop is based on the highest high and the lowest low of the last 5 bars, as well as the simple moving averages of the low and high of the previous bar. The trailing stop is calculated separately for each condition: when the bar index is greater than 1 and when the previous 'a' variable is either 1 or 0.
These two components are used to create a filled area on the chart, also known as the 'cloud'. The color of the cloud and the candlesticks change based on the relative positions of the IMA and the trailing stop.
How to Use the Indicator
The following are just ideas on how to use this indicator, and is not financial advice in any form:
Trend Identification: When the IMA is above the trailing stop (cloud), it indicates an uptrend, and when it's below, it indicates a downtrend.
Entry/Exit Signals: Traders can consider going long when the candlesticks move above the cloud and short when they move below the cloud.
Stop Loss Level: The trailing stop line (the cloud's edge) can serve as a dynamic stop loss level.
Please don't use just this indicator on its own. Please use this in conjunction with other analysis tools, indicators, and systems you already have in place. Always consider the overall market context and use appropriate risk management strategies.
Trend Correlation HeatmapHello everyone!
I am excited to release my trend correlation heatmap, or trend heatmap for short.
Per usual, I think its important to explain the theory before we get into the use of the indicator, so let's get into the theory!
The theory:
So what is a correlation?
Correlation is the relationship one variable has to another. Correlations are the basis of everything I do as a quantitative trader. From the correlation between the same variables (i.e. autocorrelation), the correlation between other variables (i.e. VIX and SPY, SPY High and SPY Low, DXY and ES1! close, etc.) and, as well, the correlation between price and time (time series correlation).
This may sound very familiar to you, especially if you are a user, observer or follower of my ideas and/or indicators. Ninety-five percent of my indicators are a function of one of those three things. Whether it be a time series based indicator (i.e.my time series indicator), whether it be autocorrelation (my autoregressive cloud indicator or my autocorrelation oscillator) or whether it be regressive in nature (i.e. my SPY Volume weighted close, or even my expected move which uses averages in lieu of regressive approaches but is foundational in regression principles. Or even my VIX oscillator which relies on the premise of correlations between tickers.) So correlation is extremely important to me and while its true I am more of a regression trader than anything, I would argue that I am more of a correlation trader, because correlations are the backbone of how I develop math models of stocks.
What I am trying to stress here is the importance of correlations. They really truly are foundational to any type of quantitative analysis for stocks. And as such, understanding the current relationship a stock has to time is pivotal for any meaningful analysis to be conducted.
So what is correlation to time and what does it tell us?
Correlation to time, otherwise known and commonly referred to as "Time Series", is the relationship a ticker's price has to the passing of time. It is displayed in the traditional Pearson Correlation Coefficient or R value and can be any value from -1 (strong negative relationship, i.e. a strong downtrend) to + 1 (i.e. a strong positive relationship, i.e. a strong uptrend). The higher or lower the value the stronger the up or downtrend is.
As such, correlation to time tells us two very important things. These are:
a) The direction of the stock; and
b) The strength of the trend.
Let's take a look at an example:
Above we have a chart of QQQ. We can see a trendline that seems to fit well. The questions we ask as traders are:
1. What is the likelihood QQQ breaks down from this trendline?
2. What is the likelihood QQQ continues up?
3. What is the likelihood QQQ does a false breakdown?
There are numerous mathematical approaches we can take to answer these questions. For example, 1 and 2 can be answered by use of a Cumulative Distribution Density analysis (CDDA) or even a linear or loglinear regression analysis and 3 can be answered, more or less, with a linear regression analysis and standard error ascertainment, or even just a general comparison using a data science approach (such as cosine similarity or Manhattan distance).
But, the reality is, all 3 of these questions can be visualized, at least in some way, by simply looking at the correlation to time. Let's look at this chart again, this time with the correlation heatmap applied:
If we look at the indicator we can see some pivotal things. These are:
1. We have 4, very strong uptrends that span both higher AND lower timeframes. We have a strong uptrend of 0.96 on the 5 minute, 50 candle period. We have a strong uptrend at the 300 candle lookback period on the 1 minute, we have a strong uptrend on the 100 day lookback on the daily timeframe period and we have a strong uptrend on the 5 minute on the 500 candle lookback period.
2. By comparison, we have 3 downtrends, all of which have correlations less than the 4 uptrends. All of the downtrends have a correlation above -0.8 (which we would want lower than -0.8 to be very strong), and all of the uptrends are greater than + 0.80.
3. We can also see that the uptrends are not confined to the smaller timeframes. We have multiple uptrends on multiple timeframes and both short term (50 to 100 candles) and long term (up to 500 candles).
4. The overall trend is strengthening to the upside manifested by a positive Max Change and a Positive Min change (to be discussed later more in-depth).
With this, we can see that QQQ is actually very strong and likely will continue at least some upside. If we let this play out:
We continued up, had one test and then bounced.
Now, I want to specify, this indicator is not a panacea for all trading. And in relation to the 3 questions posed, they are best answered, at least quantitatively, not only by correlation but also by the aforementioned methods (CDDA, etc.) but correlation will help you get a feel for the strength or weakness present with a stock.
What are some tangible applications of the indicator?
For me, this indicator is used in many ways. Let me outline some ways I generally apply this indicator in my day and swing trading:
1. Gauging the strength of the stock: The indictor tells you the most prevalent behavior of the stock. Are there more downtrends than uptrends present? Are the downtrends present on the larger timeframes vs uptrends on the shorter indicating a possible bullish reversal? or vice versa? Are the trends strengthening or weakening? All of these things can be visualized with the indicator.
2. Setting parameters for other indicators: If you trade EMAs or SMAs, you may have a "one size fits all" approach. However, its actually better to adjust your EMA or SMA length to the actual trend itself. Take a look at this:
This is QQQ on the 1 hour with the 200 EMA with 200 standard deviation bands added. If we look at the heatmap, we can see, yes indeed 200 has a fairly strong uptrend correlation of 0.70. But the strongest hourly uptrend is actually at 400 candles, with a correlation of 0.91. So what happens if we change the EMA length and standard deviation to 400? This:
The exact areas are circled and colour coded. You can see, the 400 offers more of a better reference point of supports and resistances as well as a better overall trend fit. And this is why I never advocate for getting married to a specific EMA. If you are an EMA 200 lover or 21 or 51, know that these are not always the best depending on the trend and situation.
Components of the indicator:
Ah okay, now for the boring stuff. Let's go over the functionality of the indicator. I tried to keep it simple, so it is pretty straight forward. If we open the menu here are our options:
We have the ability to toggle whichever timeframes we want. We also have the ability to toggle on or off the legend that displays the colour codes and the Max and Min highest change.
Max and Min highest change: The max and min highest change simply display the change in correlation over the previous 14 candles. An increasing Max change means that the Max trend is strengthening. If we see an increasing Max change and an increasing Min change (the Min correlation is moving up), this means the stock is bullish. Why? Because the min (i.e. ideally a big negative number) is going up closer to the positives. Therefore, the downtrend is weakening.
If we see both the Max and Min declining (red), that means the uptrend is weakening and downtrend is strengthening. Here are some examples:
Final Thoughts:
And that is the indicator and the theory behind the indicator.
In a nutshell, to summarize, the indicator simply tracks the correlation of a ticker to time on multiple timeframes. This will allow you to make judgements about strength, sentiment and also help you adjust which tools and timeframes you are using to perform your analyses.
As well, to make the indicator more user friendly, I tried to make the colours distinctively different. I was going to do different shades but it was a little difficult to visualize. As such, I have included a toggle-able legend with a breakdown of the colour codes!
That's it my friends, I hope you find it useful!
Safe trades and leave your questions, comments and feedback below!
Autocorrelation OscillatorReleasing the autocorrelation oscillator.
NOTE! Please be sure to read the description. This is a theoretical indicator and its important to understand the theory behind its use.
About the indicator:
Before getting into the indicator and its functionality, its important to discuss the theoretical underpinnings of the indicator.
The autocorrelation oscillator operates on two theories of market behaviour that go hand in hand. Those theories are the market efficiency theory and the random walk theory (or hypothesis ).
Market efficiency theory: The market efficiency theory or "Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH)" postulates that all available information is reflected in a ticker's price almost instantaneously and thus it is impossible for an investor or trader to get ahead of the market because we cannot respond to the speed that the market responds. Of course, there are many holes in this theory, the most notable being that the market is a function of humans. Absent humans and their technological integrations into the market, the market would cease to react at all. But that's besides the point. This is a widely accepted theory and one in which I can mathematically observe through statistical tests. The truth behind this theory is the market is efficient for responding to evolving economic and financial information, likely owning to huge amounts of computer and algorithmic integration into trading, and thus the market is more efficient than the average person is capable (absent computerized algorithms and integration) of ascertaining nuanced financial and economic circumstances. By the time we the people can appraise information, the market has already acted on it. And that is the main premise of the EMH.
The next theory is the Random Walk Theory or Hypothesis (RWH). This builds on the EMH and essentially postulates that the market reacts so quickly to price in current circumstances that it is too random for people to truly exploit and benefit from.
The result of these two theories is two-fold and can be summarized as such:
a) The market behaves in a chaotic fashion that is seemingly random and is incapable of being predicted effectively; and
b) The market is more efficient than a person in incorporating key fundamental information, contributing to the high degree of seemingly random behaviour.
So, how does this help us?
It is said, because of the EMH and the RWH, the only way to truly exploit the market for profit is by:
a) Buying and holding and investing under the bias that stocks will eventually rise in value; or
b) For short term trading, exploiting the pricing anomalies within the data.
So how do we exploit pricing anomalies within the data?
Well, in my own research on market efficiency and behaviour, I have identified many ways of figuring out some anomalies. One of the most effective ways is by looking at simple correlation of lagged values, or autocorrelation for short.
What is autocorrelation and how to use it in relation to EMH and RWH?
Autocorrelation refers to the correlative relationship among the values in a series. Put simply, its the relationship of the same variable over time. For example, if we wanted to look at the auto-correlation of a ticker's high price, we would take, say, 5 to 7 previous high prices and correlate them with the current high price in a series dataset. If the EMH and RWH are true, the correlation among all the variables should have an average less than 0.5 or greater than -0.5. This would indicate true randomness in the dataset and thus an efficient market.
However, if the average of all of the sum's of these correlations are greater than or equal to 0.5 or less than or equal to -0.5, that indicates there is a high degree of autocorrelation and thus the EMH ad RWH is being invalidated as the market is not operating efficiently. This is an anomaly and this anomaly can be exploited.
So how do we exploit it?
Well, when the EMH and RWH hypothesis is being invalidated, we can expect what I coin as a "Regression to Chaos" i.e. the market will revert back to an efficient equilibrium state. So if we have a high correlation of the lagged variables and a strong uptrend or downtrend correlation, we can expect an inefficient market to correct back to an efficient market (i.e. have a reversal from the current trend).
So how does the indicator work?
The indicator measures the lagged correlation of the previous 5 highs and lows of a ticker. A high correlation among all of the highs and lows that exceeds 0.8 would be an invalidation of the EMH and RWH and thus signal a correction to come (i.e. a Regression to Chaos).
The indicator will display this by changing colour. Red for a bearish reversal and green for a bullish. Let's take a look below using the ticker MSFT:
Above we can see the indicator identifying observed inefficiencies within the MSFT ticker on the 1 minute timeframe. The green vertical lines correspond to potential bullish reversals as a result of bearish inefficiencies, the red correspond to bearish reversals as a result of bullish inefficiencies.
You can see these lead to reversals within the ticker.
Components of the indicator:
In the chart above we see the following that are being indicated by arrows:
Red Arrows: Show the identified inefficiencies. Red for bullish inefficiencies (i.e. bearish reversal), green for bearish inefficiencies (i.e. bullish reversal)
Yellow Arrow: The lagged variable chart. This will display the current correlation among all the lagged variables the indicator is assessing.
Teal arrow: Displays the current strength of the trend by correlating the trend to time. A strong negative value (i.e. a value less than or equal to -0.5) indicates a strong downtrend, a strong positive value indicates the inverse.
You can unselect the data-tables in the settings menu if you just want to view the correlation line itself. This part of the indicator is customizable. You can also define the lookback period; however, it is strongly recommended to leave it at 14 as this maintains the use of this indicator as an oscillator.
And that is the indicator! Let me know your comments, questions and feedback below.
Safe trades everyone!
Anchored VWAP (Auto High & Low)OVERVIEW
This script plots, and auto-updates, 3 separate VWAPs: a traditional VWAP, a VWAP anchored to a trends high, and another anchored to a trends low.
VWAP and Anchored VWAPs are commonly used by institutions responsible for the majority of market volume on a given day. Citadel Trading, for example, accounts for approximately 35% of all U.S. listed retail volume , largely executed through program trades over the course of a day, week, or month.
Because VWAP is a prominent market maker tool for executing large trades, day traders can use it to better anticipate trends, mean reversion, and breakouts.
This is most useful on charts with intraday time frames (1 minute, 5 minute etc.) commonly used for day trading. This is not ideal for larger time frames (1 hour or greater) commonly used for swing trading or identifying larger trends.
INPUTS
You can configure:
The size, color, and visibility of 6 different plots (VWAP, High Anchor, Low Anchor, Average of Anchors, Quarter Values, Interim Bands)

INSPIRATION
1. "How To Measure Anything" by Douglas W. Hubbard
2. "Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP" by Brian Shannon
Better understanding probability and how to analyze risk (first book), as well as the tools market makers use (second book), has completely reframed how I approach day trading.
Trendilo LSMA Band ExampleThe "Trendilo LSMA Example" indicator is a technical analysis tool that combines two moving averages, the Linear Regression Moving Average (LSMA) and the Hull Moving Average (HMA), to provide insights into market trends.
The indicator plots a line on the price chart, which represents the combined values of the LSMA and HMA. This line changes color based on the direction of the trend. When the line is green, it suggests an upward trend, indicating that prices may continue to rise. Conversely, when the line is red, it suggests a downward trend, indicating that prices may continue to fall. If the line is yellow, it suggests a neutral or sideways trend, indicating that prices may be moving within a range without a clear trend.
Traders can customize the indicator by adjusting the input parameters. The "LSMAlen" parameter determines the length of the LSMA, the "LSMA Offset" parameter sets the offset for the LSMA, and the "LSMA Smoother" parameter controls the smoothing factor. Additionally, the "HMAlen" parameter determines the length of the HMA.
By using the Trendilo LSMA Example indicator, traders can get a visual representation of the market trend and use it to make informed trading decisions. Green indicates a potential buying opportunity, red suggests a potential selling opportunity, and yellow suggests a period of uncertainty where it may be prudent to wait for a clearer trend signal.
% Stocks Above MABreadth indicator showing % stocks above various moving averages. Histogram is positive (blue) when % stocks above selected MA is greater than 50%. Histogram is negative (red) when % of stocks above selected MA is less than 50%. Data manipulation causes the actual % value in y-axis to be incorrect but enhances visualization. Actual %'s are simply the displayed values + 50.
Improvements / suggestions welcome.
