80% Rule BacktestStrategy Overview: 80% Rule Backtest Tool
This strategy tester is designed to validate the classic 80% Rule setup within a defined ETH futures session. Signals are triggered when price reenters the prior day's value area and holds for a qualified duration — targeting the Point of Control (POC) for primary exits, while tracking full value area traversals for research purposes.
- 📅 Session Logic: Anchored to a true 22-hour ETH futures window (5PM–3PM Pacific), with global time zone support
- 🧠 Signal Confirmation: Price must reenter and hold inside value area for ≥ 45 minutes to validate entry
Note: Optimized for 15-minute charts — aligns exactly with traditional rule definition (3-bar hold)
- 🎯 Targets: Primary TP at POC; visual logs for full VAH/VAL reach
- 🔍 Manual Override Mode: Precise SVP-level control when auto logic isn’t preferred
- 🔧 Debug Mode: Single-bar diagnostic labels for development and forward testing
This tool supports both auto-calculated and manually anchored value areas, allowing traders to blend systematic backtesting with discretionary insight.

English Version Introduction
Correlation Coefficient with Moving Average & Bollinger Bands Indicator (Correlation Coefficient with MA & BB)
This Pine Script indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders and investors deeply analyze the strength and direction of the relationship between two market instruments. It integrates Moving Averages (MA) and Bollinger Bands (BB) to further insight into the trend and volatility of this relationship.
Whether you're looking for pair trading opportunities, managing portfolio risk, or simply aiming to better understand market dynamics, this indicator can provide valuable insights.
Indicator Features & Functionality:
Dynamic Correlation Coefficient Calculation:
You can select any symbol you wish to compare (e.g., default is GOOG), be it stocks, commodities, or cryptocurrencies.
The indicator automatically calculates the correlation coefficient between the current chart (main data source, default is close price) and your specified symbol.
Correlation values range from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to 1 (perfect positive correlation), with 0 indicating no linear relationship.
It visually plots the correlation line, marks 1, 0, -1 reference levels, and fills the perfect correlation zone for clear visualization.
Special Feature: The code includes ticker.modify, ensuring that the comparative symbol's data accounts for dividend adjustments or extended trading hours, leading to more precise correlation analysis.
Moving Average (MA) for Correlation:
To smooth out short-term fluctuations in the correlation coefficient, the indicator offers multiple MA types for you to choose from: SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA.
You can set the length of the MA period (default 20 periods).
This MA line helps identify the long-term trend of the correlation coefficient, indicating whether the relationship between the two instruments is strengthening or weakening.
Bollinger Bands (BB) for Correlation:
Bollinger Bands are applied to the correlation coefficient itself to gauge its volatility and relative high/low levels.
The middle band aligns with your chosen Moving Average.
The upper and lower bands dynamically adjust based on the correlation coefficient's standard deviation and your set Z-score (default 2.0 standard deviations).
Bollinger Bands can help you identify when the correlation coefficient is at extreme levels, potentially signaling a future reversion to the mean.
How to Utilize This Indicator:
Pair Trading Strategies: When two typically highly correlated assets show a significant short-term deviation from their average correlation (e.g., one asset's price rises while the other stagnates), you might consider exploiting this "imbalance" for pair trading.
Portfolio Diversification: Understanding the correlation between different assets helps build a more robust investment portfolio, preventing over-concentration in co-moving assets and effectively diversifying risk.
Market Trend Insight: By observing the trend and volatility of the correlation coefficient, you can better understand the联动 (interconnectedness) between different market sectors or asset classes, providing data support for your macroeconomic analysis.
Please note that correlation does not imply causation. When using this indicator, combine it with your overall trading strategy, macroeconomic analysis, and other technical indicators for comprehensive decision-making.
Kase Convergence Divergence [BackQuant]Kase Convergence Divergence
The Kase Convergence Divergence is a sophisticated oscillator designed to measure directional market strength through the lens of volatility-adjusted log return structures. Inspired by Cynthia Kase’s work on statistical momentum and price projection ranges, this unique indicator offers a hybrid framework that merges signal processing, multi-length sweep logic, and adaptive smoothing techniques.
Unlike traditional momentum oscillators like MACD or RSI, which rely on static moving average differences, KCD introduces a dual-process system combining:
Kase-style statistical range projection (via log returns and volatility),
A sweeping loop of lookback lengths for robustness,
First and second derivative modes to capture both velocity and acceleration of price movement.
Core Logic & Computation
The KCD calculation is centered on two volatility-normalized transforms:
KSDI Up: Measures how far the current high has moved relative to a past low, normalized by return volatility.
KSDI Down: Measures how far the current low has moved relative to a past high, also normalized.
For every length in a user-defined sweep range (e.g., 25–35), both KSDI_up and KSDI_dn are computed, and their maximum values across the loop are retained. The difference between these two max values produces the raw signal:
KPO (Kase Projection Oscillator): Measures directional skew.
KCD (Kase Convergence Divergence): Defined as KPO – MA(KPO) — similar in spirit to MACD but structurally different.
Users can choose to visualize either the first derivative (KPO) , or the second derivative (KCD) , depending on market conditions or strategy style.
Key Features
✅ Multi-Length Sweep Logic: Improves signal reliability by aggregating statistical range projections across a set of lookbacks.
✅ Advanced Smoothing Modes: Supports DEMA, HMA, TEMA, LINREG, WMA and more for dynamic adaptation.
✅ Dual Derivative Modes: Choose between speed (first derivative) or smoothness (second derivative) to fit your trading regime.
✅ Color-Encoded Signal Bands: Heatmap-style oscillator coloring enhances visual feedback on trend strength.
✅ Candlestick Painting: Optional bar coloring makes it easy to spot trend shifts on the main chart.
✅ Adaptive Fill Zones: Green and red fills between the oscillator and zero line help distinguish bullish and bearish regimes at a glance.
Practical Applications
📈 Trend Confirmation: Use KCD as a secondary confirmation layer after breakout or pullback entries.
📉 Momentum Shifts: Crossover and crossunder of the zero line highlight potential regime changes.
📊 Strategy Filters: Incorporate into algos to avoid trendless or mean-reverting environments.
🧪 Derivative Switching: Flip between KPO and KCD modes depending on whether you want to measure acceleration or deceleration of price flow.
Alerts & Signals
Two built-in alerts help you catch regime shifts in real time:
Long Signal: Triggered when the selected oscillator crosses above zero.
Short Signal: Triggered when it crosses below zero.
These events can be used to generate entries, exits, or trend validation cues in multi-layer systems.
Conclusion
The Kase Convergence Divergence goes beyond traditional oscillators by offering a volatility-normalized, derivative-aware signal engine with enhanced visual dynamics. Its sweeping architecture and dynamic fill logic make it especially powerful for identifying trending environments, filtering chop, and adding statistical rigor to your trading toolkit.
Whether you’re a discretionary trader seeking precision, or a quant looking to model more robust return structures, KCD offers a creative yet analytically grounded solution.

VIBE CODED WITH GROK 3
The Trading Calculator is a Pine Script indicator designed to perform quick and useful trading-related calculations directly on your chart. It allows traders to execute basic arithmetic operations—such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—as well as calculate percent change and average using either numerical values or trading variables (e.g., close, open, high, low, volume). The indicator displays its results in a table that resembles a calculator interface, making it both functional and visually intuitive. Unlike typical indicators, it does not overlay on the price chart but instead appears in a separate pane.
Inputs
Formula (new | old): First value or variable (e.g., 100, close, close ). Example: close uses the current closing price.
Operator: Mathematical operation (e.g., Plus, Minus, Multiply). Example: Plus adds the two inputs.
Second Input: Second value or variable (e.g., 50, open, close ). Example: open uses the current opening price.
Risk Distribution HistogramStatistical risk visualization and analysis tool for any ticker 📊
The Risk Distribution Histogram visualizes the statistical distribution of different risk metrics for any financial instrument. It converts risk data into histograms with quartile-based color coding, so that traders can understand their risk, tail-risks, exposure patterns and make data-driven decisions based on empirical evidence rather than assumptions.
The indicator supports multiple risk calculation methods, each designed for different aspects of market analysis, from general volatility assessment to tail risk analysis.
Risk Measurement Methods
Standard Deviation
Captures raw daily price volatility by measuring the dispersion of price movements. Ideal for understanding overall market conditions and timing volatility-based strategies.
Use case: Options trading and volatility analysis.
Average True Range (ATR)
Measures true range as a percentage of price, accounting for gaps and limit moves. Valuable for position sizing across different price levels.
Use case: Position sizing and stop-loss placement.
The chart above illustrates how ATR statistical distribution can be used by looking at the ATR % of price distribution. For example, 90% of the movements are below 5%.
Downside Deviation
Only considers negative price movements, making it ideal for checking downside risk and capital protection rather than capturing upside volatility.
Use case: Downside protection strategies and stop losses.
Drawdown Analysis
Tracks peak-to-trough declines, providing insight into maximum loss potential during different market conditions.
Use case: Risk management and capital preservation.
The chart above illustrates tale risk for the asset (TQQQ), showing that it is possible to have drawdowns higher than 20%.
Entropy-Based Risk (EVaR)
Uses information theory to quantify market uncertainty. Higher entropy values indicate more unpredictable price action, valuable for detecting regime changes.
Use case: Advanced risk modeling and tail-risk.
VIX Histogram
Incorporates the market's fear index directly into analysis, showing how current volatility expectations compare to historical patterns. The CAPITALCOM:VIX histogram is independent from the ticker on the chart.
Use case: Volatility trading and market timing.
Visual Features
The histogram uses quartile-based color coding that immediately shows where current risk levels stand relative to historical patterns:
Green (Q1): Low Risk (0-25th percentile)
Yellow (Q2): Medium-Low Risk (25-50th percentile)
Orange (Q3): Medium-High Risk (50-75th percentile)
Red (Q4): High Risk (75-100th percentile)
The data table provides detailed statistics, including:
Count Distribution: Historical observations in each bin
PMF: Percentage probability for each risk level
CDF: Cumulative probability up to each level
Current Risk Marker: Shows your current position in the distribution
Trading Applications
When current risk falls into upper quartiles (Q3 or Q4), it signals conditions are riskier than 50-75% of historical observations. This guides position sizing and portfolio adjustments.
Key applications:
Position sizing based on empirical risk distributions
Monitoring risk regime changes over time
Comparing risk patterns across timeframes
Risk distribution analysis improves trade timing by identifying when market conditions favor specific strategies.
Enter positions during low-risk periods (Q1)
Reduce exposure in high-risk periods (Q4)
Use percentile rankings for dynamic stop-loss placement
Time volatility strategies using distribution patterns
Detect regime shifts through distribution changes
Compare current conditions to historical benchmarks

Adj Momentum (3M / 6M / 12M)Mirza Salman Volatility Adjusted Momentum.
The Volatility Adjusted Momentum Indicator distills a security’s recent performance into a single, decision-ready metric that captures both the velocity and the reliability of its trend. By simultaneously rewarding sustained price appreciation and discounting erratic fluctuations, the indicator highlights those stocks that are not only advancing but doing so with a consistent, low-volatility profile—attributes typically favoured by quantitative momentum and trend-following frameworks. A high positive reading points to instruments exhibiting strong, orderly upward trajectories, making them prime candidates for capital allocation in momentum-oriented portfolios. Conversely, muted or negative readings reveal markets whose returns have been lacklustre, unstable, or downward-sloping, signalling that they warrant caution or exclusion. In practice, this indicator enables portfolio managers and traders to rank broad watch-lists swiftly, focus due-diligence on the most robust price leaders, and enforce systematic discipline in scaling back exposure to choppier, less reliable names—all without resorting to subjective chart interpretation or ad-hoc volatility filters.
Alpha - Combined BreakoutThis Pine Script indicator, "Alpha - Combined Breakout," is a combination between Smart Money Breakout Signals and UT Bot Alert, The UT Bot Alert indicator was initially developer by Yo_adriiiiaan
The idea of original code belongs HPotter.
This Indicator helps you identify potential trading opportunities by combining two distinct strategies: Smart Money Breakout and a modified UT Bot (likely a variation of the Ultimate Trend Bot). It provides visual signals, draws lines for potential take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels, and includes a dashboard to track performance metrics.
Tutorial:
Understanding and Using the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" Indicator
This indicator is designed for traders looking for confirmation of market direction and potential entry/exit points by blending structural analysis with a trend-following oscillator.
How it Works (General Concept)
The indicator combines two main components:
Smart Money Breakout: This part identifies significant breaks in market structure, which "smart money" traders often use to gauge shifts in supply and demand. It looks for higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows and flags when these structural points are broken.
UT Bot: This is a trend-following component that generates buy and sell signals based on price action relative to an Average True Range (ATR) based trailing stop.
You can choose to use these signals independently or combined to generate trading alerts and visual cues on your chart. The dashboard provides a quick overview of how well the signals are performing based on your chosen settings and display mode.
Parameters and What They Do
Let's break down each input parameter:
1. Smart Money Inputs
These settings control how the indicator identifies market structure and breakouts.
swingSize (Market Structure Time-Horizon):
What it does: This integer value defines the number of candles used to identify significant "swing" (pivot) points—highs and lows.
Effect: A larger swingSize creates a smoother market structure, focusing on longer-term trends. This means signals might appear less frequently and with some delay but could be more reliable for higher timeframes or broader market movements. A smaller swingSize will pick up more minor market structure changes, leading to more frequent but potentially noisier signals, suitable for lower timeframes or scalping.
Analogy: Think of it like a zoom level on your market structure map. Higher values zoom out, showing only major mountain ranges. Lower values zoom in, showing every hill and bump.
bosConfType (BOS Confirmation Type):
What it does: This string input determines how a Break of Structure (BOS) is confirmed. You have two options:
'Candle Close': A breakout is confirmed only if a candle's closing price surpasses the previous swing high (for bullish) or swing low (for bearish).
'Wicks': A breakout is confirmed if any part of the candle (including its wick) surpasses the previous swing high or low.
Effect: 'Candle Close' provides stronger, more conservative confirmation, as it implies sustained price movement beyond the structure. 'Wicks' provides earlier, more aggressive signals, as it captures momentary breaches of the structure.
Analogy: Imagine a wall. 'Candle Close' means the whole person must get over the wall. 'Wicks' means even a finger touching over the top counts as a breach.
choch (Show CHoCH):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to enable or disable the display of "Change of Character" (CHoCH) labels. CHoCH indicates the first structural break against the current dominant trend.
Effect: When true, it helps identify early signs of a potential trend reversal, as it marks where the market's "character" (its tendency to make higher highs/lows or lower lows/highs) first changes.
BULL (Bullish Color) & BEAR (Bearish Color):
What they do: These color inputs allow you to customize the visual appearance of bullish and bearish signals and lines drawn by the Smart Money component.
Effect: Purely cosmetic, helps with visual identification on the chart.
sm_tp_sl_multiplier (SM TP/SL Multiplier (ATR)):
What it does: A float value that acts as a multiplier for the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels specifically when you're in "Smart Money Only" mode. It uses the ATR calculated by the UT Bot's nLoss_ut as its base.
Effect: A higher multiplier creates wider TP/SL levels, potentially leading to fewer trades but larger wins/losses. A lower multiplier creates tighter TP/SL levels, potentially leading to more frequent but smaller wins/losses.
2. UT Bot Alerts Inputs
These parameters control the behavior and sensitivity of the UT Bot component.
a_ut (UT Key Value (Sensitivity)):
What it does: This integer value adjusts the sensitivity of the UT Bot.
Effect: A higher value makes the UT Bot less sensitive to price fluctuations, resulting in fewer and potentially more reliable signals. A lower value makes it more sensitive, generating more signals, which can include more false signals.
Analogy: Like a noise filter. Higher values filter out more noise, keeping only strong signals.
c_ut (UT ATR Period):
What it does: This integer sets the look-back period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation used by the UT Bot. ATR measures market volatility.
Effect: This period directly influences the calculation of the nLoss_ut (which is a_ut * xATR_ut), thus defining the distance of the trailing stop loss and take profit levels. A longer period makes the ATR smoother and less reactive to sudden price spikes. A shorter period makes it more responsive.
h_ut (UT Signals from Heikin Ashi Candles):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to determine if the UT Bot calculations should use standard candlestick data or Heikin Ashi candlestick data.
Effect: Heikin Ashi candles smooth out price action, often making trends clearer and reducing noise. Using them for UT Bot signals can lead to smoother, potentially delayed signals that stay with a trend longer. Standard candles are more reactive to raw price changes.
3. Line Drawing Control Buttons
These crucial boolean inputs determine which type of signals will trigger the drawing of TP/SL/Entry lines and flags on your chart. They act as a priority system.
drawLinesUtOnly (Draw Lines: UT Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the UT Bot generates a buy/sell signal.
Effect: Isolates UT Bot signals for visual analysis.
drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly (Draw Lines: Smart Money Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the Smart Money Breakout logic generates a bullish/bearish breakout.
Effect: Overrides drawLinesUtOnly if both are checked. Isolates Smart Money signals.
drawLinesCombined (Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when both a UT Bot signal AND a Smart Money Breakout signal occur on the same bar.
Effect: Overrides both drawLinesUtOnly and drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly if checked. Provides the strictest entry criteria for line drawing, looking for strong confluence.
Dashboard Metrics Explained
The dashboard provides performance statistics based on the lines drawing control button selected. For example, if "Draw Lines: UT Only" is active, the dashboard will show stats only for UT Bot signals.
Total Signals: The total number of buy or sell signals generated by the selected drawing mode.
TP1 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 1 (TP1) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP2 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 2 (TP2) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP3 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 3 (TP3) before hitting the Stop Loss. (Note: TP1, TP2, TP3 are in order of distance from entry, with TP3 being furthest.)
SL before any TP rate: This crucial metric shows the number of times the Stop Loss was hit / the percentage of total signals where the stop loss was triggered before any of the three Take Profit levels were reached. This gives you a clear picture of how often a trade resulted in a loss without ever moving into profit target territory.
Short Tutorial: How to Use the Indicator
Add to Chart: Open your TradingView chart, go to "Indicators," search for "Alpha - Combined Breakout," and add it to your chart.
Access Settings: Once added, click the gear icon next to the indicator name on your chart to open its settings.
Choose Your Signal Mode:
For UT Bot only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: UT Only" is checked.
For Smart Money only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: UT Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" is checked.
For Combined Signals: Check "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". This will override the other two.
Adjust Parameters:
Start with default settings. Observe how the signals appear on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Refine Smart Money: If you see too many "noisy" market structure breaks, increase swingSize. If you want earlier breakouts, try "Wicks" for bosConfType.
Refine UT Bot: Adjust a_ut (Sensitivity) to get more or fewer UT Bot signals. Change c_ut (ATR Period) if you want larger or smaller TP/SL distances. Experiment with h_ut to see if Heikin Ashi smoothing suits your trading style.
Adjust TP/SL Multiplier: If using "Smart Money Only" mode, fine-tune sm_tp_sl_multiplier to set appropriate risk/reward levels.
Interpret Signals & Lines:
Buy/Sell Flags: These indicate the presence of a signal based on your selected drawing mode.
Entry Line (Blue Solid): This is where the signal was generated (usually the close price of the signal candle).
SL Line (Red/Green Solid): Your calculated stop loss level.
TP Lines (Dashed): Your three calculated take profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, where TP3 is the furthest target).
Smart Money Lines (BOS/CHoCH): These lines indicate horizontal levels where market structure breaks occurred. CHoCH labels might appear at the first structural break against the prior trend.
Monitor Dashboard: Pay attention to the dashboard in the top right corner. This dynamically updates to show the win rates for each TP and, crucially, the "SL before any TP rate." Use these statistics to evaluate the effectiveness of the indicator's signals under your current settings and chosen mode.
*
Set Alerts (Optional): You can set up alerts for any of the specific signals (UT Bot Long/Short, Smart Money Bullish/Bearish, or the "Line Draw" combined signals) to notify you when they occur, even if you're not actively watching the chart.
By following this tutorial, you'll be able to effectively use and customize the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" indicator to suit your trading strategy.
Range Breakout Statistics [Honestcowboy]
⯁ Overview
The Range Breakout Statistics uses a very simple system to detect ranges/consolidating markets. The principle is simple, it looks for areas where the slope of a moving average is flat compared to past values. If the moving average is flat for X amount of bars that's a range and it will draw a box.
The statistics part of the script is a bit more complicated. The aim of this script is to expand analysis of trading signals in a different way than a regular backtest. It also highlights the polyline tool, one of my favorite drawing tools on the tradingview platform.
⯁ Statistics Methods
The script has 2 different modes of analyzing a trading signals strength/robustness. It will do that for 2 signals native to the script.
Upper breakout: first price breakout at top of box, before max bars (100 bars by default)
Lower breakout: first price breakout at bottom of box, before max bars
The analysis methods themselves are straightforward and it should be possible for tradingview community to expand this type of analysis to other trading signals. This script is a demo for this analysis, yet some might still find the native signals helpful in their trading, that's why the script includes alerts for the 2 native signals. I've also added a setting to disable any data gathering, which makes script run faster if you want to automate it.
For both of the analysis methods it uses the same data, just with different calculations and drawing methods. The data set is all past price action reactions to the signals saved in a matrix. Below a chart for explaining this visually.
⯁ Method 1: Averages Projection
The idea behind this is that just showing all price action that happened after signal does not give actionable insights. It's more a spaghetti jumble mess of price action lines. So instead the script averages the data out using 3 different approaches, all selectable in the settings menu.
Geometric Average: useful as it accurately reflects compound returns over time, smoothing out the impact of large gains or losses. Accounts for volatility drift.
Arithmetic Average: a standard average calculation, can be misleading in trading due to volatility drift. It is the most basic form of averaging so I included it.
Median: useful as any big volatility huge moves after a signal does not really impact the mean as it's just the middle value of all values.
These averages are the 2 lines you will find in the middle of the projection. Having a clear difference between a lower break average and upper break average price reaction can signal significance of the trading signal instead of pure chaos.
Outside of this I also included calculations for the maximum and minimum values in the dataset. This is useful for seeing price reactions range to the signal, showing extreme losses or wins are possible. For this range I also included 2 matrices of highs and lows data. This makes it possible to draw a band between the range based on closing price and the one using high/low data.
Below is a visualisation of how the averages data is shown on chart.
⯁ Method 2: Equity Simulation
This method will feel closer to home for traders as it more closely resembles a backtest. It does not include any commissions however and also is just a visualisation of price reaction to a signal. This method will simulate what would happen if you would buy at the breakout point and hold the trade for X amount of bars. With 0 being sell at same bar close. To test robustness I've given the option to visualise Equity simulation not just for 1 simulation but a bunch of simulations.
On default settings it will draw the simulations for 0 bars holding all the way to 10 bars holding. The idea behind it is to check how stable the effect is, to have further confirmation of the significance of the signal. If price simulation line moves up on average for 0 bars all the way to 10 bars holding time that means the signal is steady.
Below is a visualisation of the Equity Simulation.
⯁ Signal filtering
For the boxes themselves where breakouts come from I've included a simple filter based on the size of the box in ATR or %. This will filter out all the boxes that are larger top to bottom than the ATR or % value you setup.
⯁ Coloring of Script
The script includes 5 color themes, each carefully created using color themes from the pantone color institute. There are no color settings or other visual settings in the script, the script themes are simple and always have colors that work well together. Equity simulation uses a gradient based on lightness to color the different lines so it's easier to differentiate them while still upper breaks having a different color than lower breaks.
This script is not created to be used in conjunction with other scripts, it will force you into a background color that matches the theme. It's purpose is a research tool for systematic trading, to analyse signals in more depth.

⯁ Conclusion
I hope this script will help traders get a deeper understanding of how different assets react to their assets. It should be possible to convert this script into other signals if you know how to code on the platform. It is my intention to make more publications that include this type of analysis. It is especially useful when dealing with signals that do not happen often enough, so a regular backtest is not enough to test their significance.
