Realtime RenkoI've been working on real-time renko for a while as a coding challenge. The interesting problem here is building renko bricks that form based on incoming tick data rather than waiting for bar closes. Every tick that comes through gets processed immediately, and when price moves enough to complete a brick, that brick closes and a new one opens right then. It's just neat because you can run it and it updates as you'd expect with renko, forming bricks based purely on price movement happening in real time rather than waiting for arbitrary time intervals to pass. The three brick sizing methods give you flexibility in how you define "enough movement" to form a new brick. Traditional renko uses a fixed price range, so if you set it to 10 ticks, every brick represents exactly 10 ticks of movement. This works well for instruments with stable tick sizes and predictable volatility. ATR-based sizing calculates the average true range once at startup using a weighted average across all historical bars, then divides that by your brick value input. If you want bricks that are one full ATR in size, you'd use a brick value of 1. If you want half-ATR bricks, use 2. This inverted relationship exists because the calculation is ATR divided by your input, which lets you work with multiples and fractions intuitively. Percentage-based sizing makes each brick a fixed percentage move from the previous brick's close, which automatically scales with price level and works well for instruments that move proportionally rather than in absolute tick increments. The best part about this implementation is how it uses varip for state management. When you first load the indicator, there's no history at all. Everything starts fresh from the moment you add it to your chart because varip variables only exist in real-time. This means you're watching actual renko bricks form from real tick data as it arrives. The indicator builds its own internal history as it runs, storing up to 250 completed bricks in memory, but that history only exists for the current session. Refresh the page or reload the indicator and it starts over from scratch. The visual implementation uses boxes for brick bodies and lines for wicks, drawn at offset bar indices to create the appearance of a continuous renko chart in the indicator pane. Each brick occupies two bar index positions horizontally, which spaces them out and makes the chart readable. The current brick updates in real time as new ticks arrive, with its high, low, and close values adjusting continuously until it reaches the threshold to close and become finalized. Once a brick closes, it gets pushed into the history array and a new brick opens at the closing level of the previous one. What makes this especially useful for debugging and analysis are the hover tooltips on each brick. Clicking on any brick brings up information showing when it opened with millisecond precision, how long it took to form from open to close, its internal bar index within the renko sequence, and the brick size being used. That time delta measurement is particularly valuable because it reveals the pace of price movement. A brick that forms in five seconds indicates very different market conditions than one that takes three minutes, even though both bricks represent the same amount of price movement. You can spot acceleration and deceleration in trend development by watching how quickly consecutive bricks form. The pine logs that generate when bricks close serve as breadcrumbs back to the main chart. Every time a brick finalizes, the indicator writes a log entry with the same information shown in the tooltip. You can click that log entry and TradingView jumps your main chart to the exact timestamp when that brick closed. This lets you correlate renko brick formation with what was happening on the time-based chart, which is critical for understanding context. A brick that closed during a major news announcement or at a key support level tells a different story than one that closed during quiet drift, and the logs make it trivial to investigate those situations. The internal bar indexing system maintains a separate count from the chart's bar_index, giving each renko brick its own sequential number starting from when the indicator begins running. This makes it easy to reference specific bricks in your analysis or when discussing patterns with others. The internal index increments only when a brick closes, so it's a pure measure of how many bricks have formed regardless of how much chart time has passed. You can match these indices between the visual bricks and the log entries, which helps when you're trying to track down the details of a specific brick that caught your attention. Brick overshoot handling ensures that when price blows through the threshold level instead of just barely touching it, the brick closes at the threshold and the excess movement carries over to the next brick. This prevents gaps in the renko sequence and maintains the integrity of the brick sizing. If price shoots up through your bullish threshold and keeps going, the current brick closes at exactly the threshold level and the new brick opens there with the overshoot already baked into its initial high. Without this logic, you'd get renko bricks with irregular sizes whenever price moved aggressively, which would undermine the whole point of using fixed-range bricks. The timezone setting lets you adjust timestamps to your local time or whatever reference you prefer, which matters when you're analyzing logs or comparing brick formation times across different sessions. The time delta formatter converts raw milliseconds into human-readable strings showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds with fractional precision. This makes it immediately clear whether a brick took 12.3 seconds or 2 minutes and 15 seconds to form, without having to parse millisecond values mentally. This is the script version that will eventually be integrated into my real-time candles library. The library version had an issue with tooltips not displaying correctly, which this implementation fixes by using a different approach to label creation and positioning. Running it as a standalone indicator also gives you more control over the visual settings and makes it easier to experiment with different brick sizing methods without affecting other tools that might be using the library version. What this really demonstrates is that real-time indicators in Pine Script require thinking about state management and tick processing differently than historical indicators. Most indicator code assumes bars are immutable once closed, so you can reference `close ` and know that value will never change. Real-time renko throws that assumption out because the current brick is constantly mutating with every tick until it closes. Using varip for state variables and carefully tracking what belongs to finalized bricks versus the developing brick makes it possible to maintain consistency while still updating smoothly in real-time. The fact that there's no historical reconstruction and everything starts fresh when you load it is actually a feature, not a limitation, because you're seeing genuine real-time brick formation rather than some approximation of what might have happened in the past.

[PDR] Daily Rebalance█ OVERVIEW This indicator is a powerful portfolio backtesting tool designed to simulate the performance of a static-weight, daily rebalancing strategy. It allows you to define a portfolio of up to 10 assets, set their target weights, and track its cumulative return against a user-defined benchmark and a risk-free rate. The core of the script is its daily rebalancing logic, which calculates and logs every trade needed to bring the portfolio back to its target allocations at the close of each day. This provides a transparent and detailed view of how a static portfolio would have performed historically, including the impact of trading costs. █ KEY FEATURES Daily Rebalancing: Simulates a portfolio that is rebalanced at the close of every day to maintain target asset allocations. Customizable Portfolio: Configure up to 10 different assets with specific weights. If all weights are left at 0, the script automatically creates an equal-weight portfolio from the selected assets. Performance Comparison: Plots the portfolio's equity curve against a user-defined benchmark (e.g., SET:SET50 ) and a risk-free return, allowing for easy relative performance analysis. Realistic Simulation: Accounts for trading costs like broker commission and minimum lot sizes for more accurate and grounded backtesting results. Detailed Performance Metrics: An on-chart table displays real-time statistics, including Current Drawdown, Max Drawdown, and Total Return for both your portfolio and the benchmark. Trade-by-Trade Logs: For full transparency, every rebalancing trade (BUY/SELL), including shares, price, notional value, and fees, is logged in the Pine Logs panel. █ HOW TO USE **Apply to a Daily Chart:** This script is designed to work exclusively on the daily ( 1D ) timeframe. Applying it to any other timeframe will result in a runtime error. **Configure Settings:** Open the indicator's settings. Set your `Initial Capital`, `Start Time`, and the `Benchmark` symbol you wish to compare against. **Define Your Assets:** In the 'Assets' group, check the box to enable each asset you want to include, select the symbol, and define its target `Weight (%)`. **Set Trading Costs:** Adjust the `Broker Commission (%)` and `Minimal Buyable Lot` to match your expected trading conditions. **Analyze the Results:** The performance curves are plotted in the indicator pane below your main chart. The key metrics table is displayed on the bottom-right of your chart. **View Rebalancing Trades:** This is a crucial step for understanding the simulation. To see the detailed daily trades, you **must** open the **Pine Logs**. You can find this panel at the bottom of your TradingView window, next to the "Pine Editor" and "Strategy Tester" tabs. The logs provide a complete breakdown of every rebalancing action. █ DISCLAIMER This is a backtesting and simulation tool, not a trading signal generator. Its purpose is for research and performance analysis. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always conduct your own research before making any investment decisions.

N Order EMAThe exponential moving average is one of the most fundamental tools in technical analysis, but its implementation is almost always locked to a single mathematical approach. I've always wanted to extend the EMA into an n-order filter, and after some time working through the digital signal processing mathematics, I finally managed to do it. This indicator takes the familiar EMA concept and opens it up to four different discretization methods, each representing a valid way to transform a continuous-time exponential smoother into a discrete-time recursive filter. On top of that, it includes adjustable filter order, which fundamentally changes the frequency response characteristics in ways that simply changing the period length cannot achieve. The four discretization styles are impulse-matched, all-pole, matched z-transform, and bilinear (Tustin). The all-pole version is exactly like stacking multiple EMAs together but implemented in a single function with proper coefficient calculation. It uses a canonical form where you get one gain coefficient and the rest are zeros, with the feedback coefficients derived from the binomial expansion of the pole polynomial. The other three methods are attempts at making generalizations of the EMA in different ways. Impulse-matched creates the filter by matching the discrete-time impulse response to what the continuous EMA would produce. Matched z-transform directly maps the continuous poles to the z-domain using the exponential relationship. Bilinear uses the Tustin transformation with frequency prewarping to ensure the cutoff frequency is preserved despite the inherent warping of the mapping. Honestly, they're all mostly the same in practice, which is exactly what you'd expect since they're all valid discretizations of the same underlying filter. The differences show up in subtle ways during volatile market conditions or in the exact phase characteristics, but for most trading applications the outputs will track each other closely. That said, the bilinear version works particularly well at low periods like 2, where other methods can sometimes produce numerical artifacts. I personally like the z-match for its clean frequency-domain properties, but the real point here is demonstrating that you can tackle the same problem from multiple mathematical angles and end up with slightly different but equally valid implementations. The order parameter is where things get interesting. A first-order EMA is the standard single-pole recursive filter everyone knows. When you move to second-order, you're essentially cascading two filter sections, which steepens the roll-off in the frequency domain and changes how the filter responds to sudden price movements. Higher orders continue this progression. The all-pole style makes this particularly clear since it's literally stacking EMA operations, but all four discretization methods support arbitrary order. This gives you control over the aggressiveness of the smoothing that goes beyond just adjusting the period length. On top of the core EMA calculation, I've included all the standard variants that people use for reducing lag. DEMA applies the EMA twice and combines the results to get faster response. TEMA takes it further with three applications. HEMA uses a Hull-style calculation with fractional periods, applying the EMA to the difference between a half-period EMA and a full-period EMA, then smoothing that result with the square root of the period. These are all implemented using whichever discretization method you select, so you're not mixing different mathematical approaches. Everything stays consistent within the chosen framework. The practical upside of this indicator is flexibility for people building trading systems. If you need a moving average with specific frequency response characteristics, you can tune the order parameter instead of hunting for the right period length. If you want to test whether different discretization methods affect your strategy's performance, you can swap between them without changing any other code. For most users, the impulse-matched style at order 1 will behave almost identically to a standard EMA, which gives you a familiar baseline to work from. From there you can experiment with higher orders or different styles to see if they provide any edge in your particular market or timeframe. What this really highlights is that even something as seemingly simple as an exponential moving average involves mathematical choices that usually stay hidden. The standard EMA formula you see in textbooks is already a discretized version of a continuous exponential decay, and there are multiple valid ways to perform that discretization. By exposing these options, this indicator lets you explore a parameter space that most traders never even know exists. Whether that exploration leads to better trading results is an empirical question that depends on your strategy and market, but at minimum it's a useful reminder that the tools we take for granted are built on arbitrary but reasonable mathematical decisions.

Previous Day & Week High/Low LevelsPrevious Day & Week High/Low Levels is a precision tool designed to help traders easily identify the most relevant price levels that often act as strong support or resistance areas in the market. It automatically plots the previous day’s and week’s highs and lows, as well as the current day’s developing internal high and low. These levels are crucial reference points for intraday, swing, and even position traders who rely on price action and liquidity behavior. Key Features Previous Day High/Low: The indicator automatically draws horizontal lines marking the highest and lowest prices from the previous trading day. These levels are widely recognized as potential zones where the market may react again — either rejecting or breaking through them. Previous Week High/Low: The script also tracks and displays the high and low from the last completed trading week. Weekly levels tend to represent stronger liquidity pools and broader institutional zones, which makes them especially important when aligning higher timeframe context with lower timeframe entries. Internal Daily High/Low (Real-Time Tracking): While the day progresses, the indicator dynamically updates the current day’s internal high and low. This allows traders to visualize developing market structure, identify intraday ranges, and anticipate potential breakouts or liquidity sweeps. Multi-Timeframe Consistency: All levels — daily and weekly — remain visible across any chart timeframe, from 1 minute to 1 day or higher. This ensures traders can maintain perspective and avoid losing track of key zones when switching views. Customizable Visuals: The colors, line thickness, and label visibility can be easily adjusted to match personal charting preferences. This makes the indicator adaptable to any trading style or layout, whether minimalistic or detailed. How to Use Identify Key Reaction Zones: Observe how price interacts with the previous day and week levels. Rejections, consolidations, or clean breakouts around these lines often signal strong liquidity areas or potential directional moves. Combine with Market Structure or Liquidity Concepts: The indicator works perfectly with supply and demand analysis, liquidity sweeps, order block strategies, or simply classic support/resistance techniques. Scalping and Intraday Trading: On lower timeframes (1m–15m), the daily levels help identify intraday turning points. On higher timeframes (1h–4h or daily), the weekly levels provide broader context and directional bias. Risk Management and Planning: Using these levels as reference points allows for more precise stop placement, target setting, and overall trade management. Why This Indicator Helps Markets often react strongly around previous highs and lows because these zones contain trapped liquidity, pending orders, or institutional decision points. By having these areas automatically mapped out, traders gain a clear and objective view of where price is likely to respond — without needing to manually draw lines every day or week. Whether you’re a beginner still learning about price structure, or an advanced trader refining entries within liquidity zones, this tool simplifies the process and keeps your charts clean, consistent, and data-driven.

Liquidity Map [DrewRS]Donations are welcome to keep building!! paypal.me Description Liquidity Map highlights where recent swing highs/lows leave resting liquidity and shows when those pools are swept; pending zones keep their color while swept zones fade, so you can track which areas remain attractive for price. Each pivot detection draws a horizontal line plus a tiny marker, with optional equal-high/low highlighting to emphasize double tops/bottoms that are often targeted; when price runs through the level the marker disappears and a “taken” dot is left behind. Designed for discretionary traders who monitor liquidity grabs, imbalances, or SMT setups; works on any symbol or timeframe, though you may want tighter settings for intraday and wider ones for higher timeframes. How It Works Uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow to define swing points; every pivot draws a persistent level until price closes a candle beyond it. Equal highs/lows within the chosen tick tolerance upgrade the level color for quick visual prioritization. Liquidity sweeps shorten the line to the sweep bar, reduce opacity with the “Line opacity after sweep” control, and leave a colored dot so you can see which pool was taken. Inputs Left/Right pivot bars: increase for smoother swings, decrease for faster detection. Equal high/low tolerance: small values flag only near-perfect doubles; larger tolerances bundle broader ranges. Max levels per side: caps how many pending lines stay on chart to avoid clutter. Plot marker when liquidity is taken: toggle sweep dots on/off. Pending/Taken liquidity colors + Line opacity after sweep: adjust palette to fit your chart theme. Tips Combine with market-structure or order-block tools; pending liquidity often aligns with supply/demand zones. For scalping, start with leftBars = 2, rightBars = 1, and a tighter tolerance; for swing trading, raise the bars and tolerance slightly. Keep an eye on equal highs/lows that stack across timeframes—multiple confluences tend to attract price more aggressively.
