Opening Score with DivergenceOverview
The Opening Score Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders assess market sentiment, trend direction, and potential reversals. By combining Opening Range Breakout (ORB), VWAP, Trend, Volatility, and Divergence Detection, this indicator provides a composite score that adapts to different market conditions.
This version includes divergence detection between the Opening Score and price, which highlights potential trend reversals or continuations before they happen. When a regular divergence occurs, the histogram bar turns orange, signaling an increased probability of a trend change.

Auto-Length Moving Average + Trend Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Auto-Length Moving Average + Trend Signals (Zeiierman) is an easy-to-use indicator designed to help traders dynamically adjust their moving average length based on market conditions. This tool adapts in real-time, expanding and contracting the moving average based on trend strength and momentum shifts.
The indicator smooths out price fluctuations by modifying its length while ensuring responsiveness to new trends. In addition to its adaptive length algorithm, it incorporates trend confirmation signals, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuations with greater confidence.
This indicator suits scalpers, swing traders, and trend-following investors who want a self-adjusting moving average that adapts to volatility, momentum, and price action dynamics.
█ How It Works
⚪ Dynamic Moving Average Length
The core feature of this indicator is its ability to automatically adjust the length of the moving average based on trend persistence and market conditions:
Expands in strong trends to reduce noise.
Contracts in choppy or reversing markets for faster reaction.
This allows for a more accurate moving average that aligns with current price dynamics.
⚪ Trend Confirmation & Signals
The indicator includes built-in trend detection logic, classifying trends based on market structure. It evaluates trend strength based on consecutive bars and smooths out transitions between bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Uptrend: Price is persistently above the adjusted moving average.
Downtrend: Price remains below the adjusted moving average.
Neutral: Price fluctuates around the moving average, indicating possible consolidation.
⚪ Adaptive Trend Smoothing
A smoothing factor is applied to enhance trend readability while minimizing excessive lag. This balances reactivity with stability, making it easier to follow longer-term trends while avoiding false signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
Bullish Trend: The indicator confirms an uptrend when the price consistently stays above the dynamically adjusted moving average.
Bearish Trend: A downtrend is recognized when the price remains below the moving average.
⚪ Trade Entry & Exit
Enter long when the dynamic moving average is green and a trend signal occurs. Exit when the price crosses below the dynamic moving average.
Enter short when the dynamic moving average is red and a trend signal occurs. Exit when the price crosses above the dynamic moving average.
█ Slope-Based Reset
This mode resets the trend counter when the moving average slope changes direction.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for trend-following traders who want to filter out noise and only reset when a clear shift in momentum occurs.
Higher slope length (N): More stable trends, fewer resets.
Lower slope length (N): More reactive to small price swings, frequent resets.
Useful in swing trading to track significant trend reversals.
█ RSI-Based Reset
The counter resets when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crosses predefined overbought or oversold levels.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for reversal traders who look for extreme overbought/oversold conditions.
High RSI threshold (e.g., 80/20): Fewer resets, only extreme conditions trigger adjustments.
Lower RSI threshold (e.g., 60/40): More frequent resets, detecting smaller corrections.
Great for detecting exhaustion in trends before potential reversals.
█ Volume-Based Reset
A reset occurs when current volume significantly exceeds its moving average, signaling a shift in market participation.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for traders who follow institutional activity (high volume often means large players are active).
Higher volume SMA length: More stable trends, only resets on massive volume spikes.
Lower volume SMA length: More reactive to short-term volume shifts.
Useful in identifying breakout conditions and trend acceleration points.
█ Bollinger Band-Based Reset
A reset occurs when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band or below the lower Bollinger Band, signaling potential overextension.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for traders looking for volatility-based trend shifts.
Higher Bollinger Band multiplier (k = 2.5+): Captures only major price extremes.
Lower Bollinger Band multiplier (k = 1.5): Resets on moderate volatility changes.
Useful for detecting overextensions in strong trends before potential retracements.
█ MACD-Based Reset
A reset occurs when the MACD line crosses the signal line, indicating a momentum shift.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for momentum traders looking for trend continuation vs. exhaustion signals.
Longer MACD lengths (260, 120, 90): Captures major trend shifts.
Shorter MACD lengths (10, 5, 3): Reacts quickly to momentum changes.
Useful for detecting strong divergences and market shifts.
█ Stochastic-Based Reset
A reset occurs when Stochastic %K crosses overbought or oversold levels.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for short-term traders looking for fast momentum shifts.
Longer Stochastic length: Filters out false signals.
Shorter Stochastic length: Captures quick intraday shifts.
█ CCI-Based Reset
A reset occurs when the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) crosses predefined overbought or oversold levels. The CCI measures the price deviation from its statistical mean, making it a useful tool for detecting overextensions in price action.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for cycle traders who aim to identify overextended price deviations in trending or ranging markets.
Higher CCI threshold (e.g., ±200): Detects extreme overbought/oversold conditions before reversals.
Lower CCI threshold (e.g., ±10): More sensitive to trend shifts, useful for early signal detection.
Ideal for detecting momentum shifts before price reverts to its mean or continues trending strongly.
█ Momentum-Based Reset
A reset occurs when Momentum (Rate of Change) crosses zero, indicating a potential shift in price direction.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for trend-following traders who want to track acceleration vs. deceleration.
Higher momentum length: Captures longer-term shifts.
Lower momentum length: More responsive to short-term trend changes.
█ How to Interpret the Trend Strength Table
The Trend Strength Table provides valuable insights into the current market conditions by tracking how the dynamic moving average is adjusting based on trend persistence. Each metric in the table plays a role in understanding the strength, longevity, and stability of a trend.
⚪ Counter Value
Represents the current length of trend persistence before a reset occurs.
The higher the counter, the longer the current trend has been in place without resetting.
When this value reaches the Counter Break Threshold, the moving average resets and contracts to become more reactive.
Example:
A low counter value (e.g., 10) suggests a recent trend reset, meaning the market might be changing directions frequently.
A high counter value (e.g., 495) means the trend has been ongoing for a long time, indicating strong trend persistence.
⚪ Trend Strength
Measures how strong the current trend is based on the trend confirmation logic.
Higher values indicate stronger trends, while lower values suggest weaker trends or consolidations.
This value is dynamic and updates based on price action.
Example:
Trend Strength of 760 → Indicates a high-confidence trend.
Trend Strength of 50 → Suggests weak price action, possibly a choppy market.
⚪ Highest Trend Score
Tracks the strongest trend score recorded during the session.
Helps traders identify the most dominant trend observed in the timeframe.
This metric is useful for analyzing historical trend strength and comparing it with current conditions.
Example:
Highest Trend Score = 760 → Suggests that at some point, there was a strong trend in play.
If the current trend strength is much lower than this value, it could indicate trend exhaustion.
⚪ Average Trend Score
This is a rolling average of trend strength across the session.
Provides a bigger picture of how the trend strength fluctuates over time.
If the average trend score is high, the market has had persistent trends.
If it's low, the market may have been choppy or sideways.
Example:
Average Trend Score of 147 vs. Current Trend Strength of 760 → Indicates that the current trend is significantly stronger than the historical average, meaning a breakout might be occurring.
Average Trend Score of 700+ → Suggests a strong trending market overall.
█ Settings
⚪ Dynamic MA Controls
Base MA Length – Sets the starting length of the moving average before dynamic adjustments.
Max Dynamic Length – Defines the upper limit for how much the moving average can expand.
Trend Confirmation Length – The number of bars required to validate an uptrend or downtrend.
⚪ Reset & Adaptive Conditions
Reset Condition Type – Choose what triggers the moving average reset (Slope, RSI, Volume, MACD, etc.).
Trend Smoothing Factor – Adjusts how smoothly the moving average responds to price changes.

SMT Divergence [TakingProphets]The SMT (Smart Money Technique) Divergence indicator identifies potential market manipulation and smart money footprints by comparing price action between correlated instruments. It uses a dual-detection system to catch both frequent local SMTs and larger structural SMTs:
• Primary detection uses a shorter lookback period (default 5) to identify common SMT patterns
• Secondary detection uses a longer lookback period (default 8) to catch larger structural SMTs
• Automatically filters significant moves to prevent noise
• Labels are placed clearly outside of price action for better visibility
• Toggle between showing all SMTs or only significant liquidity sweeps
Compare any two instruments to spot divergences in their price action. Particularly useful for:
- Futures vs Spot markets
- Related currency pairs
- Index vs its components
- Any correlated instruments
Default settings are optimized for intraday trading but can be adjusted for different timeframes.
Note: This indicator works best when comparing closely correlated instruments and should be used alongside other technical analysis tools.

Whale Activity Impact OscillatorThe "Whale Activity Impact Oscillator" is a Pine Script v6 component designed to identify abnormal price movements caused by potential whale activity in the crypto market.
Here's how it works:
Inputs: The script allows users to configure the volume spike multiplier, price spike multiplier, lookback period, minimum volume threshold, and thresholds for strong buy and sell signals.
Data Calculations: It calculates the average volume and average percentage price change over the specified lookback period.
Whale Detection Logic: The script detects a volume spike if the current volume exceeds the average volume by the specified multiplier. It detects a price spike if the percentage price change exceeds the average by the specified multiplier.
Signals: A buy signal is generated when both a volume spike and a price increase are detected. A sell signal is generated when both a volume spike and a price decrease are detected.
Output: The oscillator is displayed as a histogram below the price chart. Green bars indicate buy signals, red bars indicate sell signals, and gray bars indicate normal activity. The height of the bars is proportional to the magnitude of the price change.
Alerts: The script includes alerts for whale buying and selling detected signals.
Edge Cases: The script avoids false signals in low-liquidity environments by setting a minimum volume threshold and filtering out signals during low market activity.
This component can be added to a TradingView chart to help traders identify potential whale activity and make informed trading decisions.

Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite is a Pine Version 6 script that builds upon the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to offer an advanced trend analysis tool. Its purpose is to help traders identify trend direction, potential reversals, and overall market momentum with reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages. By combining the HMA with Average True Range (ATR) thresholds, slope-dependent coloring, Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) ribbons, and optional reversal signals, the script aims to give a detailed view of price activity in various market environments.
2. Overview
This script begins with the calculation of a Hull Moving Average, a method that blends Weighted Moving Averages in a way designed to cut down on lag while still smoothing out price fluctuations. Next, several enhancements are applied. The script compares current HMA values to previous ones for slope-based coloring, which highlights uptrends and downtrends at a glance. It also plots buy and sell signals when price moves beyond or below thresholds determined by the ATR and the user’s chosen signal multiplier. An optional VWAP ribbon can be shown to confirm bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted benchmark. Additionally, the script can plot reversal signals (labeled with B) at points where price crosses back toward the HMA from above or below. Taken together, these elements allow traders to visualize both the short-term momentum and the broader context of how price interacts with volatility and overall market direction.
3. Why These Indicators Have Been Linked Together
The reason the Hull Moving Average, the Average True Range, and the VWAP have been integrated into one script is to tackle multiple facets of market analysis in a single tool. The Zero Lag Hull Moving Average provides a responsive trend line, the ATR offers a measure of volatility that helps distinguish significant price shifts from typical fluctuations, and the VWAP acts as a reference for fair value based on traded volume. By layering all three, the script helps traders avoid the need to juggle multiple separate indicators and offers a holistic perspective. The slope-based coloring focuses on trend direction, the ATR-based thresholds refine possible buy and sell zones, and the VWAP ribbons provide insight into how price stands relative to an important volume-weighted level. The inclusion of up and down signals and reversal B labels further refines entries and exits.
4. Why Use Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite
The Hull Moving Average is already known for reacting more quickly to price changes compared to other moving averages while retaining a degree of smoothness. This suite enhances the basic HMA by showing colored gradients that make it easy to spot trend direction changes, highlighting potential entry or exit points based on volatility-driven thresholds, and optionally layering a volume-based measure of bullish or bearish market sentiment. By relying on a zero lag approach and additional data points, the script caters to those wanting a more responsive method of identifying shifts in market dynamics. The added reversal signals and up or down alerts give traders extra confirmation for potential turning points.
5. How This Extension Improves on the Basic HMA
This extension not only plots the Hull Moving Average but also includes data-driven alerts and visual cues that traditional HMA lines do not provide. First, it offers multi-layered slope coloring, making up or down trends quickly apparent. Second, it uses ATR-based thresholds to pinpoint moments when price may be extending beyond normal volatility, thus generating buy or sell signals. Third, the script introduces an optional VWAP ribbon to indicate whether the market is trading above or below this pivotal volume-weighted benchmark, adding a further confirmation step for bullish or bearish conditions. Finally, it incorporates optional reversal signals labeled with B, indicating points where price might swing back toward the main HMA line.
6. Core Components
The script can be broken down into several primary functions and features.
a. Zero Lag HMA Calculation
Uses two Weighted Moving Averages (half-length and full-length) combined through a smoothing step based on the square root of the chosen length. This approach is designed to reduce lag significantly compared to other moving averages.
b. Slope Detection
Compares current and prior HMA values to determine if the trend is up or down. The slope-based coloring changes between turquoise shades for upward movement and magenta shades for downward movement, making trend direction immediately visible.
c. ATR-Based Thresholding for Up and Down Signals
The script calculates an Average True Range over a user-defined period, then multiplies it by a signal factor to form two bands around the HMA. When price crosses below the lower band, an up (buy) signal appears; when it crosses above the upper band, a down (sell) signal is shown.
d. Reversal Signals (B Labels)
Tracks when price transitions back toward the main HMA from an extreme zone. When enabled, these reversal points are labeled with a B and can help traders see potential turning points or mean-reversion setups.
e. VWAP Bands
An optional Volume Weighted Average Price ribbon that plots above or below the HMA, indicating bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted price benchmark. This can also act as a kind of support/ resistance.
7. User Inputs
a. HMA Length
Controls how quickly the moving average responds to price changes. Shorter lengths react faster but can lead to more frequent signals, whereas longer lengths produce smoother lines.
b. Source
Specifies the price input, such as close or an alternative source, for the calculation. This can help align the HMA with specific trading strategies.
c. ATR Length and Signal Multiplier
Defines how the script calculates average volatility and sets thresholds for buy or sell alerts. Adjusting these values can help filter out noise or highlight more aggressive signals.
d. Slope Index
Determines how many bars to look back for detecting slope direction, influencing how sensitive the slope coloring is to small fluctuations.
e. Show Buy and Sell Signals, Reversal Signals, and VWAP
Lets users toggle the display of these features. Turning off certain elements can reduce chart clutter if traders prefer a simpler layout.
8. Calculation Process
The script’s calculation follows a step-by-step approach. It first computes two Weighted Moving Averages of the selected price source, one over half the specified length and one over the full length. It then combines these using 2*wma1 minus wma2 to reduce lag, followed by applying another weighted average using the square root of the length. Simultaneously, it computes the ATR for a user-defined period. By multiplying ATR by the signal multiplier, it establishes upper and lower bands around the HMA, where crossovers generate buy (up) or sell (down) signals. The script can also plot reversal signals (B labels) when price crosses back from these bands in the opposite direction. For the optional VWAP feature, Pine Script’s ta.vwap function is used, and differences between the HMA and VWAP levels determine the color and opacity of the ribbon.
9. Signal Generation and Filtering
The ATR-based thresholds reduce the influence of small, inconsequential price swings. When price falls below the lower band, the script issues an up (buy) signal. If price breaks above the upper band, a down (sell) signal appears. These signals are visible through labels placed near the bars. Reversal signals, labeled with B, can be turned on to help detect when price retraces from an extended area back toward the main HMA line. Traders can disable or enable these signals to match their preferred level of chart detail or risk tolerance.
10. Visualization on the Chart
The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite aims for visual clarity. The HMA line is plotted multiple times with increasing transparency to create a gradient effect. Turquoise gradients indicate upward slopes, and magenta gradients signify downward slopes. Bar coloring can be configured to align with the slope direction, providing quick insight into current momentum. When enabled, buy or sell labels are placed under or above the bars as price crosses the ATR-defined boundaries. If the reversal option is active, B labels appear around areas where price changes direction. The optional VWAP ribbons form background bands, using distinct coloration to signal whether price is above or below the volume-weighted metric.
11. Market Adaptability
Because the script’s parameters (HMA length, ATR length, signal multiplier, and slope index) are user-configurable, it can adapt to a wide range of markets and timeframes. Intraday traders may prefer a shorter HMA length for quick signals, while swing or position traders might use a longer HMA length to filter out short-lived price changes. The source setting can also be adjusted, allowing for specialized data inputs beyond just close or open values.
12. Risk Management Considerations
The script’s signals and labels are based on past price data and volatility readings, and they do not guarantee profitable outcomes. Sharp market reversals or unforeseen fundamental events can produce false signals. Traders should combine this tool with broader risk management strategies, including stop-loss placement, position sizing, and independent market analyses. The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite can help highlight potential opportunities, but it should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trade decisions.
13. Combining with Other Tools
Many traders choose to verify signals from the Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite using popular indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), or even simple volume-based metrics to confirm whether a price movement has sufficient momentum. Conventional techniques such as support and resistance levels, chart patterns, or candlestick analysis can also supplement signals generated by the script’s up, down, or reversal B labels.
14. Parameter Customization and Examples
a. Short-Term Day Trading
Using a shorter HMA length (for instance, 9 or 14) and a slightly higher ATR multiplier might provide timely buy and sell signals, though it may also produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
b. Swing or Position Trading
Selecting a longer HMA length (such as 50 or 100) with a moderate ATR multiplier can help users track more significant and sustained market moves, potentially reducing the effect of minor fluctuations.
c. Multiple Timeframe Blends
Some traders load two versions of the indicator on the same chart, one for short-term signals (with frequent B label reversals) and another for the broader trend direction, aligning entry and exit decisions with the bigger picture.
15. Realistic Expectations
Even though the Hull Moving Average helps minimize lag and the script incorporates volatility-based filters and optional VWAP overlays, it cannot predict future market behavior with complete accuracy. Periods of low liquidity or sudden market shocks can still lead to signals that do not reflect longer-term trends. Frequent parameter review and manual confirmation are advised before executing trades based solely on the script’s outputs.
16. Theoretical Background
The Hull Moving Average formula aims to balance smoothness with reactivity, accomplished by combining Weighted Moving Averages at varying lengths. By subtracting a slower average from a faster one and then applying another smoothing step with the square root of the original length, the HMA is designed to respond more promptly to price changes than typical exponential or simple moving averages. The ATR component, introduced by J. Welles Wilder, calculates the average range of price movement over a user-defined period, allowing the script to assess volatility and adapt signals accordingly. VWAP provides a volume-weighted benchmark that many institutional traders track to gauge fair intraday value.
17. Originality and Uniqueness
Although multiple HMA-based indicators can be found, Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite sets itself apart by merging slope-based coloring, ATR thresholds, VWAP ribbons, up or down labels, and optional reversal signals all in one cohesive platform. This synergy aims to reduce chart clutter while still giving traders a comprehensive look at trend direction, volatility, and volume-based sentiment.
18. Summary
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite is a specialized trading script designed to highlight potential market trends and reversals with minimal delay. It leverages the Hull Moving Average for an adaptive yet smooth price line, pairs ATR-based thresholds for detecting possible breakouts or dips, and provides VWAP-based ribbons for added volume-weighted context. Traders can further refine their entries and exits by enabling up or down signals and reversal labels (B) where price may revert toward the HMA. Suitable for a wide range of timeframes and instrument types, the script encourages a disciplined approach to trade management and risk control.

Monthly, Quarterly OPEX & Vix expirations
OPEX Indicator:
The OPEX indicator is designed to provide traders with a visual representation of key options expiration dates, particularly for monthly, quarterly, and VIX options expirations. This indicator can be particularly helpful for market participants who focus on options-based strategies or those who track the impact of options expiration on price action.
The indicator overlays vertical lines and labels on the chart to highlight three key types of expiration events:
Monthly Equity and Index Expiration (OPEX): This marks the standard monthly options expiration dates for equity and index options.
Quarterly Index Expiration (Q): This indicates the quarterly expiration dates for index options, which tend to have a larger impact on the market.
Monthly VIX Expiration (VIXEX): This marks the monthly expiration of VIX options and futures, which are important for volatility traders.
How to Use the OPEX Indicator:
Expiration Dates on the Chart: The OPEX indicator marks expiration dates with vertical lines and labels that appear on the chart. These are customizable, allowing you to adjust the line and label colors to suit your preferences. The lines and labels will appear at specific times, such as the closing of the market on expiration days, allowing traders to prepare for potential volatility or other market dynamics associated with these events.
Customizable Colors and Label Positions: The indicator offers flexibility in customizing the appearance of expiration lines and labels. For each expiration type (OPEX, Quarterly, and VIXEX), you can adjust the line color, label color, and label text color. Additionally, the label text size and position can be customized (e.g., above the bar, below the bar, top or bottom of the chart). This allows for a tailored display that suits your trading style and chart layout.
Visualizing Impact of Expiration Events: Traders who track the influence of expiration events can use this indicator to spot potential market moves around expiration dates. For example, significant price swings often occur near expiration days as options traders adjust their positions. With this indicator, you can visualize these dates on your chart and analyze market behavior in the lead-up to, during, and after the expirations.
Input Options:
Expiration Types:
Monthly Equity, Index Expiration (OPEX): Turn on or off the monthly equity expiration markers.
Quarterly Index Expiration (Q): Turn on or off the quarterly expiration markers.
Monthly VIX Expiration (VIXEX): Turn on or off the VIX expiration markers.
Line and Label Customization:
Line Color: Adjust the color of the vertical lines marking the expiration events.
Label Color: Customize the color of the expiration labels.
Label Text Color: Adjust the color of the text inside the labels.
Label Position: Choose the position of the labels (e.g., top, bottom, above bar, below bar).
Use Cases:
Options Traders: Track options expiration dates to assess potential price swings or liquidity changes.
Volatility Traders: Watch for patterns around VIX options expirations.
Index Traders: Monitor quarterly expirations for potential market-moving events.
Example Use:
As a trader, you can apply this indicator to your chart and observe how price action reacts near expiration dates. For instance, on the monthly OPEX expiration day, you might notice increased volatility or an uptick in options-related price moves. By observing this trend over time, you can align your trades to capitalize on predictable movements around key expiration days.
Additionally, you may use the quarterly expiration markers to assess whether there’s typically a market shift during these periods, providing insights for long-term traders.

VWAP Fibonacci Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The VWAP Fibonacci Bands is a sophisticated yet user-friendly indicator designed to assist traders in visualizing market trends, volatility, and potential support/resistance levels. Developed by Zeiierman, this tool integrates the MIDAS (Market Interpretation Data Analysis System) methodology with Standard Deviation Bands and user-defined Fibonacci levels to provide a comprehensive market analysis framework.
This indicator is built for traders who want a dynamic and customizable approach to understanding market movements, offering features that adapt to varying market conditions. Whether you're a scalper, swing trader, or long-term investor.
█ How It Works
⚪ Anchor Point System
The indicator begins its calculations based on an anchor point, which can be set to:
A specific date for historical analysis or alignment with significant market events.
A timeframe-based reset, dynamically restarting calculations at the beginning of each selected period (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly).
This dual-anchor method ensures flexibility, allowing the indicator to align with various trading strategies.
⚪ MIDAS Calculation
The MIDAS calculation is central to this indicator. It uses cumulative price and volume data to compute a volume-weighted average price (VWAP), offering a trendline that reflects the true value weighted by trading activity.
⚪ Standard Deviation Bands
The upper and lower bands are calculated using the standard deviation of price movements around the MIDAS line.
⚪ Fibonacci Levels
User-defined Fibonacci ratios are used to plot additional support and resistance levels between the bands. These levels provide visual cues for potential price reversals or trend continuations.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
Uptrend: The price remains above the MIDAS line.
Downtrend: The price stays below the MIDAS line and aligns with the lower bands.
⚪ Support and Resistance
The upper and lower bands act as support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci levels provide intermediate zones for potential price reversals.
⚪ Volatility Analysis
Wider bands indicate periods of high volatility.
Narrower bands suggest low-volatility conditions, often preceding breakouts.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Conditions
Look for the price beyond the upper or lower bands to identify extreme conditions.
█ Settings
Set Anchor Method
Anchor Method: Choose between Timeframe or Date to define the starting point of calculations.
Anchor Timeframe: For Timeframe mode, specify the interval (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
Anchor Date: For Date mode, set the exact starting date for historical alignment.
Set Std Dev Multiplier
Controls the width of the bands:
Higher values widen the bands, filtering out minor fluctuations.
Lower values tighten the bands for more responsive analysis.
Set Fibonacci Levels
Define custom Fibonacci ratios (e.g., 0.236, 0.382) to plot intermediate levels between the bands.
█ Tips for Fine-Tuning
⚪ For Trend Trading:
Use higher Std Dev Multipliers to focus on long-term trends and avoid noise. Adjust Anchor Timeframe to Weekly or Monthly for broader trend analysis.
⚪ For Reversal Trading:
Tighten the bands with a lower Std Dev Multiplier.
Use shorter anchor timeframes for intraday reversals (e.g., Hourly).
⚪ For Volatile Markets:
Increase the Std Dev Multiplier to accommodate wider price swings.
⚪ For Quiet Markets:
Decrease the Std Dev Multiplier to highlight smaller fluctuations.

Absolute Strength Index [ASI] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Absolute Strength Index (ASI) is a next-generation oscillator designed to measure the strength and direction of price movements by leveraging percentile-based normalization of historical returns. Developed by Zeiierman, this indicator offers a highly visual and intuitive approach to identifying market conditions, trend strength, and divergence opportunities.
By dynamically scaling price returns into a bounded oscillator (-10 to +10), the ASI helps traders spot overbought/oversold conditions, trend reversals, and momentum changes with enhanced precision. It also incorporates advanced features like divergence detection and adaptive signal smoothing for versatile trading applications.
█ How It Works
The ASI's core calculation methodology revolves around analyzing historical price returns, classifying them into top and bottom percentiles, and normalizing the current price movement within this framework. Here's a breakdown of its key components:
⚪ Returns Lookback
The ASI evaluates historical price returns over a user-defined period (Returns Lookback) to measure recent price behavior. This lookback window determines the sensitivity of the oscillator:
Shorter Lookback: Higher responsiveness to recent price movements, suitable for scalping or high-volatility assets.
Longer Lookback: Smoother oscillator behavior is ideal for identifying larger trends and avoiding false signals.
⚪ Percentile-Based Thresholds
The ASI categorizes returns into two groups:
Top Percentile (Winners): The upper X% of returns, representing the strongest upward price moves.
Bottom Percentile (Losers): The lower X% of returns, capturing the sharpest downward movements.
This percentile-based normalization ensures the ASI adapts to market conditions, filtering noise and emphasizing significant price changes.
⚪ Oscillator Normalization
The ASI normalizes current returns relative to the top and bottom thresholds:
Values range from -10 to +10, where:
+10 represents extreme bullish strength (above the top percentile threshold).
-10 indicates extreme bearish weakness (below the bottom percentile threshold).
⚪ Signal Line Smoothing
A signal line is optionally applied to the ASI using a variety of moving averages:
Options: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA.
Effect: Smooths the ASI to filter out noise, with shorter lengths offering higher responsiveness and longer lengths providing stability.
⚪ Divergence Detection
One of ASI's standout features is its ability to detect and highlight bullish and bearish divergences:
Bullish Divergence: The ASI forms higher lows while the price forms lower lows, signaling potential upward reversals.
Bearish Divergence: The ASI forms lower highs while the price forms higher highs, indicating potential downward reversals.
█ Key Differences from RSI
Dynamic Adaptability: ASI adjusts to market conditions through percentile-based scaling, while RSI uses static thresholds.
█ How to Use ASI
⚪ Trend Identification
Bullish Strength: ASI above zero suggests upward momentum, suitable for trend-following trades.
Bearish Weakness: ASI below zero signals downward momentum, ideal for short trades or exits from long positions.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Levels
Overbought Zone: ASI in the +8 to +10 range indicates potential exhaustion of bullish momentum.
Oversold Zone: ASI in the -8 to -10 range points to potential reversal opportunities.
⚪ Divergence Signals
Look for bullish or bearish divergence labels to anticipate trend reversals before they occur.
⚪ Signal Line Crossovers
A crossover between the ASI and its signal line (e.g., EMA or SMA) can indicate a shift in momentum:
Bullish Crossover: ASI crosses above the signal line, signaling potential upside.
Bearish Crossover: ASI crosses below the signal line, suggesting downside momentum.
█ Settings Explained
⚪ Absolute Strength Index
Returns Lookback: Sets the sensitivity of the oscillator. Shorter periods detect short-term changes, while longer periods focus on broader trends.
Top/Bottom Percentiles: Adjust thresholds for defining winners and losers. Narrower percentiles increase sensitivity to outliers.
Signal Line Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA for smoothing.
Signal Line Length: Fine-tune the responsiveness of the signal line.
⚪ Divergence
Divergence Lookback: Adjusts the period for detecting divergence. Use longer lookbacks to reduce noise.

On-Chain Analysis [LuxAlgo]The On-Chain Analysis tool offers a comprehensive overview of essential on-chain metrics, enabling traders and investors to grasp the underlying activity and sentiment within the cryptocurrency market. By integrating metrics like wallet profitability, exchange flows, on-chain volume, social sentiment, and more into your charts, users can gain valuable insights into cryptocurrency network behavior, spot emerging trends, and better manage risk in the cryptocurrency market.
🔶 USAGE
🔹 On-Chain Analysis
When analyzing cryptocurrencies, several fundamental metrics are crucial for assessing the value and potential of a digital asset. This indicator is designed to help traders and analysts evaluate the markets by utilizing various data gathered directly from the blockchain. The gathered on-chain data includes wallet profitability, exchange flows, miner flows, on-chain volume, large buyers/sellers, market capitalization, market dominance, active addresses, total value locked (TVL), market value to realized value (MVRV), developer activity, social sentiment, holder behavior, and balance types.
Use wallet profitability and social sentiment metrics to gauge the overall mood of the market, helping to anticipate potential buying or selling pressure.
On-chain volume and active addresses provide insights into how actively a cryptocurrency is being used, indicating network health and adoption levels.
By tracking exchange flows and holder balance types, you can identify significant moves by whales or institutions, which may signal upcoming price shifts.
Market capitalization and miner flows give you an understanding of the supply side of the market, aiding in evaluating whether an asset is overvalued or undervalued.
The distribution of holdings among retail investors, whales, and institutional groups can greatly influence market dynamics. A large concentration of holdings by whales may indicate the potential for significant price swings, given their capacity to execute substantial trades. A higher proportion of institutional investors often suggests confidence in the asset's long-term potential, as these entities typically conduct thorough research before investing. While retail participation indicates broader adoption, it also introduces higher volatility, as these investors tend to be more reactive to market fluctuations.
Understanding the balance and behavior of short-term traders, mid-term cruisers, and long-term hodlers helps traders and analysts predict market trends and assess the underlying confidence in a particular cryptocurrency.
🔶 DETAILS
This script includes some of the most significant and insightful metrics in the crypto space, designed to evaluate and enhance trading decisions by assessing the value and growth potential of cryptocurrencies. The introduced metrics are:
🔹 Wallet Profitability
Definition: Represents the percentage distribution of addresses by profitability at the current price.
Importance: Indicates potential selling pressure or reduced selling pressure based on whether addresses are in profit or loss.
🔹 Exchange Flow
Definition: The total amount of a cryptocurrency moving in and out of exchanges.
Importance: Large inflows to exchanges can indicate potential selling pressure, while large outflows might suggest accumulation or long-term holding.
🔹 Miner Flow
Definition: Tracks the inflow and outflow of funds by miners.
Importance: High inflows could indicate selling pressure, whereas low inflows or outflows might reflect miner confidence.
🔹 On-Chain Volume
Definition: The total value of transactions conducted on a blockchain within a specific period.
Importance: On-chain volume reflects actual usage of the network, indicating how actively a cryptocurrency is being utilized for transactions.
🔹 Large Buyers/Sellers
Definition: Tracks the number of large buyers (bulls) and sellers (bears) based on transaction volume.
Importance: Comparing the number of large buyers (bulls) to large sellers (bears) helps gauge market trends and sentiment.
🔹 Market Capitalization
Definition: The total value of a cryptocurrency's circulating supply, calculated by multiplying the current price by the total supply.
Importance: Market cap is a key indicator of a cryptocurrency’s size and market dominance. It helps compare the relative size of different cryptocurrencies.
🔹 Market Dominance
Definition: Market dominance represents a cryptocurrency’s share of the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies. It is calculated by dividing the market cap of the cryptocurrency by the total market cap of the cryptocurrency market.
Importance: Market dominance is a crucial indicator of a cryptocurrency's influence and relative position in the market. It helps assess the strength of a cryptocurrency compared to others and provides insights into its market presence and potential influence.
Special Consideration: Since BTC and ETH dominance is relatively high compared to other cryptocurrencies, specific adjustments are made during the presentation of values and charts. When analyzing BTC, the total market capitalization is used. For ETH analysis, BTC is excluded from the total market cap. For any other cryptocurrency besides BTC and ETH, both BTC and ETH are excluded from the total market cap to provide a more accurate view.
🔹 Active Addresses
Definition: The number of unique addresses involved in transactions within a specific period.
Importance: A higher number of active addresses suggests greater network activity and user adoption, which can be a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
🔹 Total Value Locked (TVL)
Definition: The total value of assets locked in a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol.
Importance: TVL is a key metric for DeFi platforms, indicating the level of trust and the amount of liquidity in a protocol.
🔹 Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV)
Definition: A ratio comparing the market cap to realized cap.
Importance: A high ratio may indicate overvaluation (potential selling), while a low ratio could signal undervaluation (potential buying).
🔹 Developer Activity
Definition: The level of activity on a cryptocurrency’s public repositories (e.g., GitHub).
Importance: Strong developer activity is a sign of ongoing innovation, updates, and a healthy project.
🔹 Social Sentiment
Definition: The general sentiment or mood of the community and investors as expressed on social media and forums.
Importance: Positive sentiment often correlates with price increases, while negative sentiment can signal potential downtrends.
🔹 Holder Balance (Behavior)
Definition: Distribution of addresses by holding behavior: Traders (short-term), Cruisers (mid-term), and Hodlers (long-term).
Importance: Helps predict market behavior based on different holder types.
🔹 Holder Balance (Type)
Definition: Distribution of cryptocurrency holdings among Retail (small holders), Whales (large holders), and Investors (institutional players).
Importance: Assesses the potential impact of different user groups on the market. A more decentralized distribution is generally viewed as positive, reducing the risk of price manipulation by large holders.
These metrics provide a comprehensive view of a cryptocurrency’s health, adoption, and potential for growth, making them essential for fundamental analysis in the crypto space.

This tool is essential for options traders who want to track strike prices in relation to the underlying asset's price movements. It provides key visual clues such as strike price distributions, volatility, and potential areas of market basing—all in a customizable and user-friendly interface.
---
█ CONCEPTS
This script pulls real-time **options strikes** directly from the **options chain**, providing traders with the ability to see call and put strikes as dynamic price markers on their chart. The concept revolves around understanding the proximity and distribution of strikes based on the current price and market conditions.
Key Features
**Dynamic Options Strike Display**: The script automatically identifies and displays the options strikes closest to the current market price of the underlying asset.
**Customizable Strike Range**: Choose between 3, 6, or 9 strikes on either side of the current price, giving flexibility in visualizing different strike ranges.
**Current Chart Focused by Default**: When added to the chart, the script focuses on the strikes closest to the current price. However, users can opt to include strikes on the opposite side of the market for a broader view.
**Instant Market Context**: The displayed
strikes offer a snapshot of the options market and how the current price relates to potential option expiration levels, helping traders understand key zones.
**Visual Clues on Spreads & Volatility**: This script not only displays the strikes but also provides instant visual clues that reflect the volatility and spread of the options market.
---
█ HOW IT WORKS
The script operates by accessing the **options chain** for the underlying asset, identifying the nearest call and put strikes, and plotting them as visual markers on the chart. This real-time strike data is dynamic, adjusting automatically as the market price moves.
Strike Calculation
The script uses the current price of the underlying asset as a base point and calculates the nearby **options strikes** from the **options chain**.
Depending on the user's settings, the script will plot up to 9 strikes on either side of the price level.
This calculation is performed using live market data, making sure the plotted strikes always reflect the most current market conditions.
Visual Clues
**Spreads**: The space between the plotted call and put options strikes provides immediate insights into the current bid/ask spreads. If the spread between strike prices is wide, it suggests increased volatility or a higher level of uncertainty in the market. Conversely, narrow spreads often indicate market stability or a lack of price movement.
**Market Basing**: When options strikes form a concentrated group near a certain price level, it can indicate that the market is building up or basing at a key level. This might signal the potential for a breakout or a reversal.
**Volatility Insights**: Wider gaps between strikes, particularly on the call side versus the put side (or vice versa), can indicate an imbalance in options trading activity, often a reflection of higher volatility expectations. This visual clue can help traders assess when the market is pricing in significant movements.
Customization and User Settings
**Number of Strikes**: The number of options strikes shown is fully customizable, allowing users to display 3, 6, or 9 strikes on either side.
**Show Opposite Strikes**: By default, the script shows strikes on the current side of the market, but users can enable the option to show strikes on the opposite side to gain a more complete view of the market's options landscape.
**Strike Colors & Width**: Customize the visual appearance of the plotted strikes by adjusting the color and line width for better clarity and chart aesthetics.
---
█ POTENTIAL USE CASES
This indicator is especially valuable for **options traders**, **market analysts**, and anyone interested in gaining insights into the underlying options market. Here are some of the key use cases:
**Options Traders**: Quickly identify the nearest strike prices and understand the risk/reward potential for options positions. The ability to customize the number of strikes shown allows traders to focus on the most relevant price levels.
**Volatility Monitoring**: Use the visual clues from the spread between strike prices to assess the level of volatility in the options market. A wider spread suggests that options traders are expecting more significant price moves, while a narrow spread indicates less expected movement.
**Support and Resistance Identification**: The clustering of strike prices on one side of the market can indicate a potential support or resistance level. By monitoring these levels, traders can get a sense of where the market may reverse or consolidate.
**Market Sentiment Analysis**: A large concentration of call strikes above the current price level, or put strikes below, can be an indication of market sentiment, such as whether traders are generally bullish or bearish.
**Risk Management**: By tracking nearby options strikes, traders can adjust their strategies to minimize risk, especially when market price levels approach significant strike points.
---
█ FEATURES
**Real-Time Data**: The script pulls data from the **options chain**, ensuring that the plotted strikes are always up-to-date with the current market price.
**User-Friendly Interface**: Clear and customizable inputs allow users to easily adjust the number of strikes displayed and control visual settings such as colors and line widths.
**Visual Strike Indicators**: Instantly spot volatility, market basing, and spread imbalances through visual clues from the plotted strikes, enhancing your market analysis.
---
█ LIMITATIONS
**Accuracy Depends on Market Data**: This indicator relies on the available **options chain** data. While the data is updated in real-time, its accuracy may depend on the liquidity and availability of options contracts in the market.
**Not Suitable for Non-Options Traders**: If you don’t trade options, the relevance of this indicator may be limited as it is designed specifically to provide insight into the options market.

- Red Line: The Stop Loss (SL) level, placed below the price and also dynamically adjusts.
Bollinger Bands:
Provides context for market volatility and potential overbought/oversold zones.
Narrowing bands signal consolidation, while expanding bands indicate increased volatility.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
These signals help traders time entries and exits based on momentum shifts.
Risk/Reward Analysis:
Visual shading shows the favorable risk/reward zone between the stop loss and take profit levels.
Timeframe Suggestions

Uptrick: Arbitrage OpportunityINTRODUCTION
This script, titled Uptrick: Arbitrage Monitor, is a Pine Script™ indicator that aims to help traders quickly visualize potential arbitrage scenarios across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges. Arbitrage, in general, involves taking advantage of price differences for the same asset across different trading platforms. By comparing market prices of the same symbol on two user-selected exchanges, as well as scanning a broader list of exchanges, this script attempts to signal areas where you might want to buy on one exchange and sell on another. It includes various graphical tools, calculations, and an optional Automated Detection signal feature, allowing users to incorporate more advanced data scanning into their trading decisions. Keep in mind that transaction fees must also be considered in real-world scenarios. These fees can negate potential profits and, in some cases, result in a net loss.
PURPOSE
The primary purpose of this indicator is to show potential percentage differences between the same cryptocurrency trading pairs on two different exchanges. This difference is displayed numerically, visually as a line chart, and it is also tested against user-defined thresholds. With the threshold in place, buy and sell signals can be generated. The script allows you to quickly gauge how significant a spread is between two exchanges and whether that spread surpasses a specified threshold. This is particularly useful for arbitrage trading, where an asset is bought at a lower price on one exchange and sold at a higher price on another, capitalizing on price discrepancies. By identifying these opportunities, traders can potentially secure profits across different markets.
WHY IT WAS MADE
This script was developed to help traders who frequently look for arbitrage opportunities in the fast-paced cryptocurrency market. Cryptocurrencies sometimes experience quick price divergences across different exchanges. By having an automated approach that compares and displays prices, traders can spend less time manually tracking price discrepancies and more time focusing on actual trading strategies. The script was also made with user customization in mind, allowing you to toggle an optional Automated-based approach and choose different moving average methods to smooth out the displayed price difference.
WHAT ARBITRAGE IS
Arbitrage is the practice of buying an asset on one market (or exchange) at a lower price and simultaneously selling it on another market where the price is higher, thus profiting from the price difference. In cryptocurrency markets, these price differentials can occur across multiple exchanges due to varying liquidity, trading volume, geographic factors, or market inefficiencies. Though sometimes small, these differences can be exploited for profit when approached methodically.
EXPLANATION OF INPUTS
The script includes a variety of user inputs that help tailor the indicator to your specific needs:
1. Compared Symbol 1: This is the primary symbol you want to track (for example, BTCUSDT). Make sure it's written in all capital and make sure that it's price from that exchange is available on Tradingview.
2. Compare Exchange 1: The first exchange on which the script will request pricing data for the chosen symbol.
3. Compared to Exchange: The second exchange, used for the comparison.
4. Opportunity Threshold (%): A percentage threshold that, when exceeded by the price difference, can trigger buy or sell signals.
5. Plot Style?: Allows you to choose between plotting the raw difference line or a moving average of that difference.
6. MA Type: Select among SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA for your moving average calculation.
7. MA Length: The lookback period for the selected moving average.
8. Plot Buy/Sell Signals?: Enables or disables the plotting of arrows signaling potential buy or sell zones based on threshold crossovers.
9. Automated Detection?: Toggles an additional multi-exchange data scan feature that calculates the highest and lowest prices for the specified symbol across a predefined list of exchanges.
CALCULATIONS
At its core, the script calculates price1 and price2 using the request.security function to fetch close prices from two selected exchanges. The difference is measured as (price1 - price2) / price2 * 100. This results in a percentage that indicates how much higher or lower price1 is relative to price2. Additionally, the script calculates a slope for this difference, which helps color the line depending on whether it is trending up or down. If you choose the moving average option, the script will replace the raw difference data with one of several moving average calculations (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA).
The script also includes an iterative scan of up to 15 different exchanges for Automated detection, collecting the highest and lowest price across all those exchanges. If the Automated option is enabled, it compiles a potential recommendation: buy at the cheapest exchange price and sell at the most expensive one. The difference across all exchanges (allExDiffPercent) is calculated using (highestPriceAll - lowestPriceAll) / lowestPriceAll * 100.
WHAT AUTOMATED DETECTION SIGNAL DOES
If enabled, the Automated detection feature scans all 15 supported exchanges for the specified symbol. It then identifies the exchange with the highest price and the exchange with the lowest price. The script displays a recommended action: buy on the lowest-exchange price and sell on the highest-exchange price. While called “Automated,” it is essentially a multi-exchange data query that automates a portion of research by consolidating different price points. It does not replace thorough analysis or guaranteed execution; it simply provides an overview of potential extremes.
WHAT ALL-EX-DIFF IS
The variable allExDiffPercent is used to show the overall difference between the highest price and the lowest price found among the 15 pre-chosen exchanges. This figure can be useful for anyone wanting a big-picture view of how large the arbitrage spread might be across the broader market.
SIGNALS AND HOW THEY ARE GENERATED
The script provides two main modes of signal generation:
1. Raw Difference Mode: If the user chooses “Use Normal Line,” the script compares the percentage difference of the two selected exchanges (price1 and price2) to the user-defined threshold. When the difference crosses under the positive threshold, a sell signal is displayed (red arrow). Conversely, when the difference crosses above the negative threshold, a buy signal is displayed (green arrow).
2. Moving Average Mode: If the user selects “Use Moving Average,” the script instead references the moving average values (maValue). The signals fire under similar conditions but use the average line to gauge whether the threshold has been crossed.
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Add the script to your chart in TradingView.
2. In the script’s settings panel, configure the symbol you wish to compare (for example, BTCUSDT), choose the two exchanges you want to evaluate, and set your desired threshold.
3. Optionally, pick a moving average type and length if you prefer a smoother representation of the difference.
4. Enable or disable buy/sell signals according to your preference.
5. If you’d like to see potential extremes among a broader list of exchanges, enable Automated Detection. Keep in mind that this feature runs additional security requests, so it might slow down performance on weaker devices or if you already have many scripts running.
EXCHANGES TO USE
The script currently supports up to 15 exchanges: BYBIT, BINANCE, MEXC, BLOFIN, BITGET, OKX, KUCOIN, COINBASE, COINEX, PHEMEX, POLONIEX, GATEIO, BITSTAMP, and KRAKEN. You can choose any two of these for direct comparison, and if you enable the Automated detection, it will attempt to query them all to find extremes in real time.
VISUALS
The exchanges and current prices & differences are all plotted in the table while the colored line represents the difference in the price. The two thresholds colored red are where signals are generated. A cross below the upper threshold is a sell signal and a cross above the lower threshold is a buy signal. In the line at the bottom, purple is a negative slope and aqua is a positive slope.
LIMITATIONS AND POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
If you enable too many visual elements such as signals, additional lines, and the Automated-based scanning table, you may find that your chart becomes cluttered, or text might overlap. One workaround is to remove and reapply the indicator to refresh its display. You may also want to reduce the number of displayed table rows by disabling some features if your chart becomes too crowded. Sometimes there might be an error that the price of an asset is not available on an exchange, to fix this, go and select another exchange to compare it to, or if it happens in Automated detection, choose a different asset, ideally more widely spread.
UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out due to its multifaceted approach: it doesn’t just look at two exchanges but optionally scans up to 15 exchanges in real time, presenting users with a much broader view of the market. The dual-mode system (raw difference vs. moving average) allows for both immediate, unfiltered signals and smoother, noise-reduced signals depending on user preference. By default, it introduces dynamic visual cues through color changes when the slope of the difference transitions upward or downward. The optional Automated detection, while not a deep learning system, adds a functional intelligence layer by collating extreme price points from multiple exchanges in one place, thereby streamlining the manual research process. This combination of features gives the script a unique edge in the TradingView ecosystem, catering equally to novices wanting a straightforward approach and to advanced users looking for an aggregated multi-exchange analysis.
CONCLUSION
Uptrick: Arbitrage Monitor is a versatile and customizable Pine Script™ indicator that highlights price differences for a specified symbol between two user-selected exchanges. Through signals, threshold-based alerts, and optional Automated detection across multiple exchanges, it aims to support traders in identifying potential arbitrage opportunities quickly and efficiently. This script makes no guarantees of profitability but can serve as a valuable tool to add to your trading toolkit. Always use caution when implementing arbitrage strategies, and be mindful of market risks, exchange fees, and latency.
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES
This script is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a guarantee of performance. Users are encouraged to conduct thorough research and consider the inherent risks of arbitrage trading. Market conditions can change rapidly, and orders may fail to execute at desired prices, especially when large price discrepancies attract competition from other traders.
Average Trading Volume per Minute & Suitable Position SizeDescription:
This indicator calculates an average trading volume per minute for the specified lookback period (default 377 bars). It then estimates a suitable position size in USD (or contracts on specific exchanges) by multiplying the average volume by a user-defined percentage (default 8%). The script discards extreme data points (top and bottom 20%) before finding the median, so it provides a more robust measure of typical volume.
How It Works:
1. Each bar’s volume is converted to a USD-based figure, either by taking volume directly (if the exchange quotes in USD) or multiplying volume by the midpoint price.
2. Values are stored in an array, which is then sorted to remove the most extreme 40% (20% from each tail). The remaining 60% is used to calculate a median.
3. You enter a position size percentage (e.g. 8%), and the script multiplies the median volume-per-minute by this percentage to get your recommended position size.
4. For certain exchanges like BitMEX/Deribit, the script adapts how it treats volume (in quotes vs. base), so it can display the final position size properly (USD or contracts).
5. The script displays the result in a small table on the chart, showing the recommended position size in USD (or, for some perpetual contracts, in contract units). If no valid data is available, it indicates “Data Invalid.”
Usage Tips:
• The default Position Size Percentage is 8%. You can adjust it higher for more aggressive trading or lower for smaller exposure.
• The default lookback (Average Calculation Period) is 377 bars. Experiment with different values (e.g. 200 or 500) to capture more or fewer historical bars.
• On certain exchanges and symbols (e.g. BitMEX or Deribit’s “.P” pairs), the script automatically switches how it calculates volume (USD vs. coin-based).
• If you see “Data Invalid,” it likely means the current symbol or timeframe lacks sufficient volume info, or you’re running it on a symbol like BTC.D.
Why This Helps:
• Many traders size positions by guesswork or a fixed fraction of their account. This script instead ties position size to actual average trading volume, ensuring your position is neither too large (risk of poor fills) nor too small (wasting leverage potential).
• Removing top/bottom outliers and using the median aims to give a stable volume measure—less influenced by sudden spikes or extremely quiet bars.
Feel free to tweak the inputs and experiment with different timeframes or pairs. By aligning your position size with typical market liquidity, you can potentially improve overall trade execution and manage risk more effectively.
