Cobra's CryptoMarket VisualizerCobra's Crypto Market Screener is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the top 40 marketcap cryptocurrencies in a table\heatmap format. This indicator incorporates essential metrics such as Beta, Alpha, Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, Omega Ratio, Z-Score, and Average Daily Range (ADR). The table utilizes cell coloring resembling a heatmap, allowing for quick visual analysis and comparison of multiple cryptocurrencies.
The indicator also includes a shortened explanation tooltip of each metric when hovering over it's respected cell. I shall elaborate on each here for anyone interested.
Metric Descriptions:
1. Beta: measures the sensitivity of an asset's returns to the overall market returns. It indicates how much the asset's price is likely to move in relation to a benchmark index. A beta of 1 suggests the asset moves in line with the market, while a beta greater than 1 implies the asset is more volatile, and a beta less than 1 suggests lower volatility.
2. Alpha: is a measure of the excess return generated by an investment compared to its expected return, given its risk (as indicated by its beta). It assesses the performance of an investment after adjusting for market risk. Positive alpha indicates outperformance, while negative alpha suggests underperformance.
3. Sharpe Ratio: measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment or portfolio. It evaluates the excess return earned per unit of risk taken. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, as it reflects a higher return for each unit of volatility or risk.
4. Sortino Ratio: is a risk-adjusted measure similar to the Sharpe ratio but focuses only on downside risk. It considers the excess return per unit of downside volatility. The Sortino ratio emphasizes the risk associated with below-target returns and is particularly useful for assessing investments with asymmetric risk profiles.
5. Omega Ratio: measures the ratio of the cumulative average positive returns to the cumulative average negative returns. It assesses the reward-to-risk ratio by considering both upside and downside performance. A higher Omega ratio indicates a higher reward relative to the risk taken.
6. Z-Score: is a statistical measure that represents the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean of a dataset. In finance, the Z-score is commonly used to assess the financial health or risk of a company. It quantifies the distance of a company's financial ratios from the average and provides insight into its relative position.
7. Average Daily Range: ADR represents the average range of price movement of an asset during a trading day. It measures the average difference between the high and low prices over a specific period. Traders use ADR to gauge the potential price range within which an asset might fluctuate during a typical trading session.
Utility:
Comprehensive Overview: The indicator allows for monitoring up to 40 cryptocurrencies simultaneously, providing a consolidated view of essential metrics in a single table.
Efficient Comparison: The heatmap-like coloring of the cells enables easy visual comparison of different cryptocurrencies, helping identify relative strengths and weaknesses.
Risk Assessment: Metrics such as Beta, Alpha, Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Omega Ratio offer insights into the risk associated with each cryptocurrency, aiding risk assessment and portfolio management decisions.
Performance Evaluation: The Alpha, Sharpe Ratio, and Sortino Ratio provide measures of a cryptocurrency's performance adjusted for risk. This helps assess investment performance over time and across different assets.
Market Analysis: By considering the Z-Score and Average Daily Range (ADR), traders can evaluate the financial health and potential price volatility of cryptocurrencies, aiding in trade selection and risk management.
Features:
Reference period optimization, alpha and ADR in particular
Source calculation
Table sizing and positioning options to fit the user's screen size.
Tooltips
Important Notes -
1. The Sharpe, Sortino and Omega ratios cell coloring threshold might be subjective, I did the best I can to gauge the median value of each to provide more accurate coloring sentiment, it may change in the future.
The median values are : Sharpe -1, Sortino - 1.5, Omega - 20.
2. Limitations - Some cryptos have a Z-Score value of NaN due to their short lifetime, I tried to overcome this issue as with the rest of the metrics as best I can. Moreover, it limits the time horizon for replay mode to somewhere around Q3 of 2021 and that's with using the split option of the top half, to remain with the older cryptos.
3. For the beginner Pine enthusiasts, I recommend scimming through the script as it serves as a prime example of using key features, to name a few : Arrays, User Defined Functions, User Defined Types, For loops, Switches and Tables.
4. Beta and Alpha's benchmark instrument is BTC, due to cryptos volatility I saw no reason to use SPY or any other asset for that matter.

Exhaustion Improved Scalping Consolidation and Squeeze IndicatorThis custom indicator, called " Exhaustion & Improved Scalping Consolidation and Squeeze Indicator," is designed to help traders identify potential trading opportunities in the context of price consolidations, squeezes, and momentum exhaustion. It is an overlay indicator that combines several popular technical analysis tools, including the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, and Rate of Change (ROC). By analyzing these metrics, the indicator aims to provide visual cues on price charts to support better decision-making in the markets.
Use Case for Trading:
Consolidation Detection: The indicator identifies periods of price consolidation, which typically occur when a market is experiencing low volatility and trading in a narrow range. During these periods, the RSI value is between 45 and 55, the MACD histogram is close to zero, and the ROC value is low. The indicator highlights these consolidation periods by coloring the price bars yellow. Traders can use this information to anticipate potential breakouts and prepare for a possible trend initiation.
Squeeze Detection: The indicator detects squeezes by comparing the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. A squeeze occurs when the Bollinger Bands are within the Keltner Channels, indicating that price volatility is decreasing. The indicator colors the price bars orange during a squeeze, which can be a signal for traders to watch for an upcoming increase in volatility and potential trend expansion.
Momentum Exhaustion Detection: The indicator identifies exhaustion in momentum by analyzing the RSI and MACD histogram. When the RSI is above 70, indicating overbought conditions, and the MACD histogram is decreasing, it may signal that the current upward momentum is losing strength. The indicator colors the price bars white in these situations. Traders can use this information to potentially exit long positions or prepare for a trend reversal.
Advanced VWAP_Pullback Strategy_Trend-Template QualifierGeneral Description and Unique Features of this Script
Introducing the Advanced VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy (long-only) that offers several unique features:
1. Our script/strategy utilizes Mark Minervini's Trend-Template as a qualifier for identifying stocks and other financial securities in confirmed uptrends. Mark Minervini, a 2x US Investment Champion, developed the Trend-Template, which covers eight different and independent characteristics that can be adjusted and optimized in this trend-following strategy to ensure the best results. The strategy will only trigger buy-signals in case the optimized qualifiers are being met.
2. Our strategy is based on the supply/demand balance in the market, making it timeless and effective across all timeframes. Whether you are day trading using 1- or 5-min charts or swing-trading using daily charts, this strategy can be applied and works very well.
3. We have also integrated technical indicators such as the RSI and the MA / VWAP crossover into this strategy to identify low-risk pullback entries in the context of confirmed uptrends. By doing so, the risk profile of this strategy and drawdowns are being reduced to an absolute minimum.
Minervini’s Trend-Template and the ‘Stage-Analysis’ of the Markets
This strategy is a so-called 'long-only' strategy. This means that we only take long positions, short positions are not considered.
The best market environment for such strategies are periods of stable upward trends in the so-called stage 2 - uptrend.
In stable upward trends, we increase our market exposure and risk.
In sideways markets and downward trends or bear markets, we reduce our exposure very quickly or go 100% to cash and wait for the markets to recover and improve. This allows us to avoid major losses and drawdowns.
This simple rule gives us a significant advantage over most undisciplined traders and amateurs!
'The Trend is your Friend'. This is a very old but true quote.
What's behind it???
• 98% of stocks made their biggest gains in a Phase 2 upward trend.
• If a stock is in a stable uptrend, this is evidence that larger institutions are buying the stock sustainably.
• By focusing on stocks that are in a stable uptrend, the chances of profit are significantly increased.
• In a stable uptrend, investors know exactly what to expect from further price developments. This makes it possible to locate low-risk entry points.
The goal is not to buy at the lowest price – the goal is to buy at the right price!
Each stock goes through the same maturity cycle – it starts at stage 1 and ends at stage 4
Stage 1 – Neglect Phase – Consolidation
Stage 2 – Progressive Phase – Accumulation
Stage 3 – Topping Phase – Distribution
Stage 4 – Downtrend – Capitulation
This strategy focuses on identifying stocks in confirmed stage 2 uptrends. This in itself gives us an advantage over long-term investors and less professional traders.
By focusing on stocks in a stage 2 uptrend, we avoid losses in downtrends (stage 4) or less profitable consolidation phases (stages 1 and 3). We are fully invested and put our money to work for us, and we are fully invested when stocks are in their stage 2 uptrends.
But how can we use technical chart analysis to find stocks that are in a stable stage 2 uptrend?
Mark Minervini has developed the so-called 'trend template' for this purpose. This is an essential part of our JS-TechTrading pullback strategy. For our watchlists, only those individual values that meet the tough requirements of Minervini's trend template are eligible.
The Trend Template
• 200d MA increasing over a period of at least 1 month, better 4-5 months or longer
• 150d MA above 200d MA
• 50d MA above 150d MA and 200d MA
• Course above 50d MA, 150d MA and 200d MA
• Ideally, the 50d MA is increasing over at least 1 month
• Price at least 25% above the 52w low
• Price within 25% of 52w high
• High relative strength according to IBD.
NOTE: In this basic version of the script, the Trend-Template has to be used as a separate indicator on TradingView (Public Trend-Template indicators are available in TradingView – community scripts). It is recommended to only execute buy signals in case the stock or financial security is in a stage 2 uptrend, which means that the criteria of the trend-template are fulfilled.
This strategy can be applied to all timeframes from 5 min to daily.
The VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy
For the JS-TechTrading VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy, only stocks and other financial instruments that meet the selected criteria of Mark Minervini's trend template are recommended for algorithmic trading with this startegy.
A further prerequisite for generating a buy signals is that the individual value is in a short-term oversold state (RSI).
When the selling pressure is over and the continuation of the uptrend can be confirmed by the MA / VWAP crossover after reaching a price low, a buy signal is issued by this strategy.
Stop-loss limits and profit targets can be set variably. You also have the option to make use of the trailing stop exit strategy.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator developed by Welles Wilder in 1978. The RSI is used to perform a market value analysis and identify the strength of a trend as well as overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and shows how much an asset has risen or fallen relative to its own price in recent periods.
The RSI is calculated as the ratio of average profits to average losses over a certain period of time. A high value of the RSI indicates an overbought situation, while a low value indicates an oversold situation. Typically, a value > 70 is considered an overbought threshold and a value < 30 is considered an oversold threshold. A value above 70 signals that a single value may be overvalued and a decrease in price is likely , while a value below 30 signals that a single value may be undervalued and an increase in price is likely.
For example, let's say you're watching a stock XYZ. After a prolonged falling movement, the RSI value of this stock has fallen to 26. This means that the stock is oversold and that it is time for a potential recovery. Therefore, a trader might decide to buy this stock in the hope that it will rise again soon.
The MA / VWAP Crossover Trading Strategy
This strategy combines two popular technical indicators: the Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). The MA VWAP crossover strategy is used to identify potential trend reversals and entry/exit points in the market.
The VWAP is calculated by taking the average price of an asset for a given period, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. The MA, on the other hand, is calculated by taking the average price of an asset over a specified number of periods. When the MA crosses above the VWAP, it suggests that buying pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to enter a long position. When the MA crosses below the VWAP, it suggests that selling pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to exit a long position or enter a short position.
Traders typically use the MA VWAP crossover strategy in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis to make more informed trading decisions. As with any trading strategy, it is important to carefully consider the risks and potential rewards before making any trades.
This strategy is applicable to all timeframes and the relevant parameters for the underlying indicators (RSI and MA/VWAP) can be adjusted and optimized as needed.
Backtesting
Backtesting gives outstanding results on all timeframes and drawdowns can be reduced to a minimum level. In this example, the hourly chart for MCFT has been used.
Settings for backtesting are:
- Period from Jan 2020 until March 2023
- Starting capital 100k USD
- Position size = 25% of equity
- 0.01% commission = USD 2.50.- per Trade
- Slippage = 2 ticks
Other comments
- This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
- The combination of the Trend-Template and the RSI qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
- Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.

Super 6x: RSI, MACD, Stoch, Loxxer, CCI, & Velocity [Loxx]Super 6x: RSI , MACD , Stoch , Loxxer, CCI , & Velocity is a combination of 6 indicators into one histogram. This includes the option to allow repainting.
What is MACD?
Moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average ( EMA ) from the 12-period EMA .
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
What is RSI?
The relative strength index is a technical indicator used in the analysis of financial markets. It is intended to chart the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock or market based on the closing prices of a recent trading period. The indicator should not be confused with relative strength .
What is Stochastic?
The stochastic oscillator, also known as stochastic indicator, is a popular trading indicator that is useful for predicting trend reversals. It also focuses on price momentum and can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels in shares, indices, currencies and many other investment assets.
What is Loxxer?
The Loxxer indicator is a technical analysis tool that compares the most recent maximum and minimum prices to the previous period's equivalent price to measure the demand of the underlying asset.
What is Velocity?
In simple words, velocity is the speed at which something moves in a particular direction. For example as the speed of a car travelling north on a highway, or the speed a rocket travels after launching.

Relative Bi-Directional Volatility RangeThe basic math behind this Indicator is very similar to the math behind the Relative Strength Index without using a standard deviation as used for the Relative Volatility Index. The Volatility Range is calculated by utilizing the highs and lows. However not in the same way as in the Relative Volatility Index. This approach leads to different values, but the overall result clearly reveals the intrinsic Volatility of the chart, so the user can be aware, when something fundamentally is going on behind the scenes. If the Volatility rises on positive and negative range (-100 to 100) it implies that something fundamental is changing.
An advantage of using this kind of calculation is the possibility of separating the data into positive (buy pressure) and negative (sell pressure) components. The bi-directional character shows a slightly overhang in one of the directions, which can be used to detect a trend. A Moving Average of the users choice shell smoothen the overhang of the Relative Bi-Directional Volatility and show a trend direction. Similar to the math of the Relative Strength Index as standard a Relative Moving Average is preferred. If the Moving Average is in the positive range (0 to 100) it indicates a bullish trend, else if the Moving Average is in the negative range (0 to -100) it indicates a bearish trend. External Indicators can use a provided Trend Shift Signal which switches from 0 to 1, if the trend becomes bullish or from 0 to -1, if the trend becomes bearish.
The user should know, that in this Indicator the starting point of the Moving Averages always begins at the first bar, because the starting progress is approximated appropriately. Most Moving Averages require a minimum number of bars to be calculated, which is chosen with the Moving Average Length. In this cases the length used will be automatically reduced in the background until the number of bars is sufficient to match the chosen length. So if data history is very short, the Indicator can be used never the less as good as possible.
It is feasible to switch the Indicator on a higher timeframe, while staying in a lower timeframe on the chart. This can be useful for making the indication cleaner, if the Moving Average is to choppy and shows too many false signals. On the other hand the benefit of a higher timeframe (or a higher Moving Average Length) is paid with higher latency of the signaling. So the user has to decide what the best setting in his case is.
This Indicator can be used with all kinds of charts. Even charts with percentage or negative values should work fine.
[blackcat] L2 James Garofallou RSI In 4 DimLevel 2
Background
Traders’ Tips of September 2020, the focus is James Garofallou’s article in the September issue, “Tracking Relative Strength In Four Dimensions”.
Function
In “Tracking Relative Strength In Four Dimensions” in this issue, author James Garofallou introduces us to a new method of measuring the relative strength of a security. This new technique creates a much broader reference than would be obtained by using a single security or index and combines several dimensions, as the author calls them, into a single rank value. This study compares a security to another in four dimensions, as explained in the article. James Garofallou presents a metric for a security’s strength relative to 11 major market sectors and over several time periods. All this is squeezed into a single value. The first step is the RS2. It normalizes the security to a market index, then calculates four moving averages and encodes their relations in a returned number. I just modified it by using most BTC-correlated instruments to reflect how BTC response to their performance.
Remarks
This is a Level 2 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.

Background
For Traders’ Tips for 2022.05, the focus is Vitali Apirine’s article in the January 2022 issue, “Relative Strength Moving Averages, Part 1: The Relative Strength Exponential Moving Average (RS EMA)”.
Function
Author Vitali Apirine introduces the relative strength exponential moving average (RS EMA). The study is designed to account for relative strength of price and is considered a trend-following indicator that can be used in combination with an EMA of the same length to identify the overall trend. RS EMAs with different lengths can define turning points and filter price movements.
Remarks
This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
Average Directional Index + ΔDI± (Delta)Average Directional Index (ADX) and Difference between DI+ and DI- (ΔDI±), I call it Delta for short.
The idea explained:
ADX is a common indicator for analysing trend strength. Values over 25 usually indicate the symbol is in "trend mode", meaning there is a lot of momentum, upwards or downwards, - while values under 25 suggest it is in "range mode", the price moves sideways, lacking energy. Note that this indicator is not volume-based.
I moved the graph (red) down 25 points; this version shows positive values in "trend mode" (>25), and negative values in "range mode" (<25). The line sits at 0. The underlying code for the ADX is basically identical to the official TradingView built-in version.
Now the exciting part: DI+ and DI- are used to calculate the ADX. They are sometimes included in the ADX indicator chart, I included a version that shows them in the graphic, at the bottom. Traditionally, DI+ (green) crossing DI- (dark red) from below shows the beginning of an upward trend, and therefore a good LONG entry position. However, I noticed that this is usually not the case: this method responds very slowly to the actual price movement. At the point the indicator tells you to enter, the trend is usually already exhausted.
I found a better way to use this data; instead of waiting for both graphs to cross, meaning the difference in their respective values is 0, we look for the greatest possible difference. That is what the purple graph of my indicator shows (ΔDI±). It utilizes the zero-line we already created for the ADX. High positive values declare that the DI+ is much greater than the DI-, and vice versa. Delta is the greek letter used in mathematics for difference, so that is what I call this indicator.
How to use it:
When you look at the graph, low Delta values seem to be good entry points for LONG positions, high Delta values good exits. This is similar to how RSI and CCI work, which is why included them in the chart above (). However, this is only reliable, when the ADX is above 25, or 0 in this version, indicating the symbol is in "trend mode". This is important .
When you look at the examples in the chart, you can confirm that. The marked candles show good entry and exit points, with Delta being notably low/high (±25 seems to be a good threshold, the dashed lines sit at +30/-30), and the ADX above 0 (25). Now, you might have noticed that around mid-december the Delta actually registers the highest value for this symbol in the given time frame, indicating a strong SHORT after a steep climb. But, importantly , the ADX is not in "trend mode" as required for a clear signal, it is in "range mode": the price discovers this new level and takes a few days to get used to it. It does not fall. This shows why only the combination of both Delta and ADX gives desirable results.
I noticed that this seems to work best for 1D and 1H candles; if you find any other time frames or scenarios, let me know!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS BASED ON PERSONAL, EMPIRICAL OBSERVATIONS. PAST RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS INVESTMENT ADVICE!
Thanks to TradingView and robertkowalski for providing the basis on which the code is built. Credit goes to the appropriate developers/owners.

Cyclic Smoothed RSI with Motive-Corrective Wave Indicator
This indicator uses the cyclic smoothed Relative Strength Index (cRSI) instead of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI). See below for more info on the benefits to the cRSI.
My key contributions
1) A Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to track the general trend of the cRSI signal. This is very helpful in determining when the equity switches from bullish to bearish, which can be used to determine buy/sell points. This is then is used to color the region between the upper and lower cRSI bands (green above, red below).
2) An attempt to detect the motive (impulse) and corrective and waves. Corrective waves are indicated A, B, C, D, E, F, G. F and G waves are not technically Elliot Waves, but the way I detect waves it is really hard to always get it right. Once and a while you could actually see G and F a second time. Motive waves are identified as s (strong) and w (weak). Strong waves have a peak above the cRSI upper band and weak waves have a peak below the upper band.
3) My own divergence indicator for bull, hidden bull, bear, and hidden bear. I was not able to replicate the TradingView style of drawing a line from peak to peak, but for this indicator I think in the end it makes the chart cleaner.
There is a latency issue with an indicator that is based on moving averages. That means they tend to trigger right after key events. Perfect timing is not possible strictly with these indicators, but they do work very well "on average." However, my implementation has minimal latency as peaks (tops/bottoms) only require one bar to detect.
As a bit of an Easter Egg, this code can be tweaked and run as a strategy to get buy/sell signals. I use this code for both my indicator and for trading strategy. Just copy and past it into a new strategy script and just change it from study to a strategy, something like this:
strategy("cRSI + Waves Strategy with VWMA overlay", overlay=overlay)
The buy/sell code is at the end and just needs to be uncommented. I make no promises or guarantees about how good it is as a strategy, but it gives you some code and ideas to work with.
Tuning
1) Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): This is a “hidden strategy” feature implemented that will display the high-low bands of the VWMA on the price chart if run the code using “overlay = true”.
- If the equity does not have volume, then the VWMA will not show up. Uncheck this box and it will use the regular WMA (no volume).
- defines how far back the WMA averages price.
2) cRSI (Black line in the indicator)
- Increase to length that amount of time a band (upper/lower) stays high/low after a peak. Reduce the value to shorten the time. Just increment it up/down to see the effect.
- defines how far back the SMA averages the cRSI. This affects the purple line in the indicator.
- defines how many bars back the peak detector looks to determine if a peak has occurred. For example, a top is detected like this: current-bar down relative to the 1-bar-back, 1-bar-back up relative to 2-bars-back (look back = 1), c) 2-bars-back up relative to 3-bars-back (lookback = 2), and d) 3-bars-back up relative to 4-bars-back (lookback = 3). I hope that makes sense. There are only 2 options for this setting: 2 or 3 bars. 2 bars will be able to detect small peaks but create more “false” peaks that may not be meaningful. 3 bars will be more robust but can miss short duration peaks.
3) Waves
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
4) Divergence Indicators
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
Hints
- The most common parameter to change is the . Different stocks will have different levels of strength in their peaks. A setting of 2 may generate too many corrective waves.
- Different times scales will give you different wave counts. This is to be expected. A counter impulse wave inside a corrective wave may actually go above the cRSI WMA on a smaller time frame. You may need to increase it one or two levels to see large waves.
- Just because you see divergence (bear or hidden bear) does not mean a price is going to go down. Often price continues to rise through bears, so take note and that is normal. Bulls are usually pretty good indicators especially if you see them on C,E,G waves.

cyclic smoothed RSI (cRSI) indicator
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The “core” code for the cyclic smoothed RSI (cRSI) indicator was written by Lars von Theinen and is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at mozilla.org Copyright (C) 2017 CC BY, whentotrade / Lars von Thienen. For more details on the cRSI Indicator:
The cyclic smoothed RSI indicator is an enhancement of the classic RSI, adding
1) additional smoothing according to the market vibration,
2) adaptive upper and lower bands according to the cyclic memory and
3) using the current dominant cycle length as input for the indicator.
It is much more responsive to market moves than the basic RSI. The indicator uses the dominant cycle as input to optimize signal, smoothing, and cyclic memory. To get more in-depth information on the cyclic-smoothed RSI indicator, please read Decoding The Hidden Market Rhythm - Part 1: Dynamic Cycles (2017), Chapter 4: "Fine-tuning technical indicators." You need to derive the dominant cycle as input parameter for the cycle length as described in chapter 4.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Technical RankHello Traders,
Technical Rank (TR) was authored by John Murphy . Technical Rank shows how a security is performing relative to its peers. Multiple moving averages, rate of change and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators are used to calculate the Technical Rank. These values are mathematically manipulated with percentage factors and then summed together. there are 3 parts, long term, middle term and short term. for Long term part Moving Average with length 200 (30%) and Rate of Change with the length 125 (30%) are used, for middle term part, Moving Average with length 50 (15%) and Rate of Change with the length 20 (15%) are used and for short term part, PPO (5%) and RSI (5%) used.
Technical Rank is created using the following formula and weightings:
Long-Term Indicators (weighting): Percent above/below the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) (30% weight) and the 125-day rate-of-change (ROC) (30% weight).
Medium-Term Indicators (weighting): Percent above/below 50-day EMA (15%) and the 20-day rate-of-change (15%).
Short-Term Indicators (weighting): Three-day slope of percentage price oscillator histogram divided by three (5%) and the relative strength index (5%).
The scripts calculates Technical Rank for 10 different securities and sorts them by Technical Rank value. A ranking of zero indicates the stock is the weakest in the group technically. A rank of 100 indicates the stock ranks highest in terms of technical performance. An increasing Technical Rank means the stock's price performance is showing strength relative to the group of stock being analyzed. A decreasing Technical Rank shows deteriorating relative price performance. Securities in the top 3-4 will have a technical rank of 70 or higher. You should focus on these relatively strong securities for potential long positions on pullbacks. You can also use the technical rank to avoid weak securities (in the bottom 3-4). I recommend you to check Technical Rank for the securities in multiple time frames.
You can choose the symbols as you want but you should choose the symbols with the same session info. for example only Cryptos, only Stocks, only FX pairs etc. (not mix of them).
Enjoy!
Neglected Volume by DGTVolume is one piece of information that is often neglected, however, learning to interpret volume brings many advantages and could be of tremendous help when it comes to analyzing the markets. In addition to technicians, fundamental investors also take notice of the numbers of shares traded for a given security.
What is Volume?
The volume represents all the recorded trades for a security that occurs in a given time interval. It is a measurement of the participation, enthusiasm, and interest in a given security. Think of volume as the force that drives the market. Volume substantiates, energizes, and empowers price. When volume increases, it confirms price direction; when volume decreases, it contradicts price direction.
In theory, increases in volume generally precede significant price movements. However, If the price is rising in an uptrend but the volume is reducing or unchanged, it may show that there’s little interest in the security, and the price may reverse.
A high volume usually indicates more interest in the security and the presence of institutional traders. However, a rapidly rising price in an uptrend accompanied by a huge volume may be a sign of exhaustion.
Traders usually look for breaks of support and resistance to enter positions. When security break critical levels without volume, you should consider the breakout suspect and prime for a reversal off the highs/lows
Volume spikes are often the result of news-driven events. Volume spike will often lead to sharp reversals since the moves are unsustainable due to the imbalance of supply and demand
note : there’s no centralized exchange where trades are recorded, so the volume data represents what happens at a particular exchange only
In most charting platforms, the volume indicator is presented as color-coded bars, green if the security closes up and red if the security closed lower, where the height of the bars show the amount of the recorded trades
Within this study, Relative Volume , Volume Weighted Bars and Volume Moving Average are presented, where Relative Volume relates current trading volume to past trading volume over long period, Volume Weighted Bars presents price bars colored based on short period past trading volume average, and Volume Moving Average is average of volume over shot period
Relative Volume is presented as color-coded bars similar to regular Volume indicator but uses four color codes instead two. Notable increases of volume are presented in green and red while average values with back and gray, hence adding ability to emphasis notable increases in the volume. It is kind of a like a radar for how "in-play" a security is. Users are allowed to change the threshold, default value is set to Fibonacci golden ration standard deviation away from its moving average.
Volume Weighted Bars, a study of Kıvanç Özbilgiç, aims to present if price movements are supported by Volume. Volume Weighted Bars are calculated based on shot period volume moving average which will reflect more recent changes in volume. Price actions with high volume will be displayed with darker colors, average volume values will remain as they are and low volume values will be indicated with lighter colors.
Volume Moving Average, Is short period volume moving average, aims to display visually the volume changes. Please not that Relative Volume bars are calculated based on standard deviation of long volume moving average.
What Else?
Apart from the volume itself, your ability to assess what volume is telling you in conjunction with price action can be a key factor in your ability to turn a profit in the market. It makes little sense to analyze the volume alone. To correctly interpret the volume data, it shall be seen in the light of what the price is doing. there are a lot of other indicators that are based on the volume data as well as price action. Analysing those volume indicators has always helped traders and investors to better understand what is happening in the market.
Here are the ones adapted with this study. Some of them used as a source for our aim, some adapted as they are with slight changes to fit visually to this study and please note that the numerical presentation may differ from their regular use
• On Balance Volume
• Divergence Indicator
• Correlation Coefficient
• Chaikin Money Flow
Shortly;
On Balance Volume
The On Balance Volume indicator, is a technical analysis indicator that relates volume flow to changes in a security’s price. It uses a cumulative total of positive and negative trading volume to predict the direction of price. The OBV is a volume-based momentum oscillator, so it is a leading indicator — it changes direction before the price
Granville, creator of OBV, proposed the theory that changes in volume precede price movements in a measurable way. He believed that volume was the main force behind major market moves and thought of OBV’s prediction of price changes as a compressed spring that expands rapidly when released.
It is believed that the OBV shows the interactions between the institutional and retail traders in the market
If the price makes a new high, the OBV should also make a new high. If the OBV makes a lower high when the price makes a higher high, there’s a classical bearish divergence — indicating that only the retail traders are buying. Another type of bearish divergence occurs when the price remains relatively quiet and fails to make a higher high but the OBV soars higher than the previous high — indicating that the institutional traders are accumulating short positions. On the other hand, if the price makes a lower low and the OBV makes a higher low, there is a classical bullish divergence, showing that the institutional traders don’t believe in that move
With this study, Momentum and Acceleration (optional) of OBV is calculated and presented, where momentum is most commonly referred to as a rate and measures the acceleration of the price and/or volume of a security. It is also referred to as a technical analysis indicator and oscillator that is able to determine market trends.
Additionally, smoothing functionality with Least Squares Method is added
Divergences especially, should always be noted as a possible reversal in the current trend, so the divergence indicator is adapted with this study where the Momentum of OBV is assumed as Oscillator with similar usages as to RSI. Divergence is most often used to track and analyze the momentum in an asset’s price and the odds of a price reversal within the current trend. The divergence indicator warns traders and technical analysts of changes in a price/volume trend, oftentimes that it is weakening or changing direction.
Correlation Coefficient
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables. A correlation of -1.0 shows a perfect negative correlation, while a correlation of 1.0 shows a perfect positive correlation. A correlation of 0.0 shows no linear relationship between the movement of the two variables. In other words, the closer the Correlation Coefficient is to 1.0, indicates the instruments will move up and down together as it is mostly expected with volume and price. So the Correlation Coefficient Indicator aims to display when the price and volume (on balance volume) is in correlation and when not. With this study blue represent positive correlation while orange negative correlation. The strength of the correlation is determined by the width of the bands, to emphasis the effect horizontal lines are drawn with values set to 0.5 and -0.5. the values above 0.5 (or below -0.5) shows stronger correlation.
Chaikin Money Flow , provide optionally as a companion indicator
The Chaikin money flow indicator (CMF) is a volume indicator that measures the money flow volume over a chosen period. The money flow volume is a measure of the volume and where the price closed relative to the trading session’s range. It comes from the idea that buying pressure is indicated by a rising volume and recurrent closes in the upper part of the session’s price range while selling pressure is demonstrated by an increasing volume and repeated closes in the lower part of the price range.
Both buying and selling pressures are accompanied by an increase in volume, but the location of the closing prices are in accordance with the direction of price

Macro Valuation Oscillator (MVO)Macro Valuation Oscillator (MVO) is a macro-relative-strength indicator that compares the current valuation of an asset against three key benchmarks: Gold, USD, and Bond. It helps visualize how the asset performs in relative macro terms over time.
When the MVO line for Gold (yellow) moves below the neutral zone (0), it reflects relative weakness against gold. When it rises above +80, it indicates relative strength or potential overheating compared to gold. The same concept applies to USD (blue) and Bond (purple) lines.
The indicator highlights macro-rotation behavior, showing periods when assets outperform (green) or underperform (red) in relative value. It is mainly intended for daily charts, providing a clear visual framework for assessing long-term macro relationships and timing within broader market cycles.
RRG Sector Snapshot RRG Sector Snapshot · Clear UI — User Guide
What this indicator does
Purpose: Visualize sector rotation by comparing each sector’s Relative Strength (RS-Ratio) and RS-Momentum versus a benchmark (e.g., VNINDEX).
Output: A quadrant map (table overlay) that positions each sector into one of four regimes:
LEADING (top-right): Strong and accelerating — leadership zone.
WEAKENING (bottom-right): Strong but decelerating — may be topping or consolidating.
LAGGING (bottom-left): Weak and decelerating — avoid unless mean-reverting.
IMPROVING (top-left): Weak but accelerating — candidates for next rotation into leadership.
How it works (under the hood)
X-axis (Strength): RS-Ratio = Sector Close / Benchmark Close, then normalized with a Z-Score over a lookback (normLen).
Y-axis (Momentum): Linear-regression slope of RS-Ratio over rsLen, then normalized with a Z-Score (normLen).
Mapping to grid: Both axes are Z-Scores scaled to a square grid (rrgSize × rrgSize) using a zoom factor (rrgScale). The center is neutral (0,0). Momentum increases upward (Y=0 is the top row in the table).
Quick start (3 minutes)
Add to chart:
TradingView → Pine Editor → paste the script → Save → Add to chart.
Set a benchmark: In inputs, choose Benchmark (X axis) — default INDEX:VNINDEX. Use VN30 or another index if it better reflects your universe.
Load sectors: Fill S1..S10 with sector or index symbols you track (up to 10). Set Slots to Use to the number you actually use.
Adjust view:
rrgSize (grid cells): 18–24 is a good starting point.
rrgScale (zoom): 2.5–3.5 typically; decrease to “zoom out” (points cluster near center), increase to “zoom in” (points spread to edges).
Read the map:
Prioritize sectors in LEADING; shortlist sectors in IMPROVING (could rotate into LEADING).
WEAKENING often marks late-cycle strength; LAGGING is typically avoid.
Inputs — what they do and how to change them
General
Analysis TF: Timeframe used to compute RRG (can be different from chart’s TF). Daily for swing, 1H/4H for tactical rotation, Weekly for macro view.
Benchmark (X axis): The index used for RS baseline (e.g., INDEX:VNINDEX, INDEX:VN30, major ETFs, or a custom composite).
RRG Calculation
RS Lookback (rsLen): Bars used for slope of RS (momentum).
Daily: 30–60 (default 40)
Intraday (1H/4H): 20–40
Weekly: 26–52
Normalization Lookback (Z-Score) (normLen): Window for Z-Score on both axes.
Daily: 80–120 (default 100)
Intraday: 40–80
Weekly: 52–104
Tip: Shorter lookbacks = more responsive but noisier; longer = smoother but slower.
RRG HUD (Table)
Show RRG Snapshot (rrgEnable): Toggle the table on/off.
Position (rrgPos): top_right | top_left | bottom_right | bottom_left.
Grid Size (Cells) (rrgSize): Table dimensions (N×N). Larger = more resolution but takes more space.
Z-Scale (Zoom) (rrgScale): Maps Z-Scores to the grid.
Smaller (2.0–2.5): Zoom out (more points near center).
Larger (3.5–4.0): Zoom in (emphasize outliers).
Appearance
Tag length (tagLen): Characters per sector tag. Use 4–6 for clarity.
Text size (textSizeOp): Tiny | Small | Normal | Large. Use Large for presentation screens or dense lists.
Axis thickness (axisThick): 1 = thin axis; 2 = thicker double-strip axis.
Quadrant alpha (bgAlpha): Transparency of quadrant backgrounds. 80–90 makes text pop.
Sectors (Max 10)
Slots to Use (sectorSlots): How many sector slots are active (≤10).
S1..S10: Each slot is a symbol (index, sector index, or ETF). Replace defaults to fit your market/universe.
How to interpret the map
Quadrants:
Leading (top-right): Relative strength above average and improving — trend-follow candidates.
Weakening (bottom-right): Still strong but momentum cooling — watch for distribution or pauses.
Lagging (bottom-left): Underperforming and still losing momentum — avoid unless doing mean-reversion.
Improving (top-left): Early recovery — candidates to transition into Leading if the move persists.
Overlapping sectors in one cell: The indicator shows “TAG +n” where TAG is the first tag, +n is the number of additional sectors sharing that cell. If many overlap:
Increase rrgSize, or
Decrease rrgScale to zoom out, or
Reduce Slots to Use to a smaller selection.
Suggested workflows
Daily swing
Benchmark: VNINDEX or VN30
rsLen 40–60, normLen 100–120, rrgSize 18–24, rrgScale 2.5–3.5
Routine:
Identify Leading sectors (top-right).
Spot Improving sectors near the midline moving toward top-right.
Confirm with price/volume/breakout on sector charts or top components.
Intraday (1H/4H) tactical
rsLen 20–40, normLen 60–100, rrgScale 2.0–3.0
Expect faster rotations and more noise; tighten filters with your own entry rules.
Weekly (macro rotation)
rsLen 26–52, normLen 52–104, rrgScale 3.0–4.0
Great for portfolio tilts and sector allocation.
Tuning tips
If everything clusters near center: Increase rrgScale (zoom in) or reduce normLen (more contrast).
If points are too spread: Decrease rrgScale (zoom out) or increase normLen (smoother normalization).
If the table is too big/small: Change rrgSize (cells).
If tags are hard to read: Increase textSizeOp to Large, tagLen to 5–6, and consider bgAlpha ~80–85.
Troubleshooting
No table on chart:
Ensure Show RRG Snapshot is enabled.
Change Position to a different corner.
Reduce Grid Size if the table exceeds the chart area.
Many sectors “missing”:
They’re likely overlapping in the same cell; the cell will show “TAG +n”.
Increase rrgSize, decrease rrgScale, or reduce Slots to Use.
Early bars show nothing:
You need enough data for rsLen and normLen. Scroll back or reduce lookbacks temporarily.
Best practices
Use RRG for context and rotation scouting, then confirm with your execution tools (trend structure, breakouts, volume, risk metrics).
Benchmark selection matters. If most of your watchlist tracks VN30, use INDEX:VN30 as the benchmark to get a truer relative read.
Revisit settings per timeframe. Intraday needs more responsiveness (shorter lookbacks, smaller Z-Scale); weekly needs stability (longer lookbacks, larger Z-Scale).
FAQ
Can I use ETFs or custom indices as sectors? Yes. Any symbol supported by TradingView works.
Can I track individual stocks instead of sectors? Yes (up to 10); just replace the S1..S10 symbols.
Why Z-Score? It standardizes each axis to “how unusual” the value is versus its own history — more robust than raw ratios across different scales.

How to Set Up (Your Market Template)
This is the most important part for customizing the indicator to any market.
Step 1: Choose Your TF & Benchmark
Open the indicator's Settings.
Analysis TF: Set the timeframe you want to analyze (e.g., D for medium-term, W for long-term).
Benchmark (Trục X): This is the index you want to compare against.
Vietnamese Market: Leave the default INDEX:VNINDEX.
US Market: Change to SP:SPX or NASDAQ:NDX.
Crypto Market: Change to TOTAL (entire market cap) or BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance).
Step 2: Input Your "Universe" (The 10 Slots)
This is where you decide what to track. You have 10 slots (S1 to S10).
For Vietnamese Sectors (Default):
Leave the default sector codes like INDEX:VNFINLEAD (Finance), INDEX:VNREAL (Real Estate), INDEX:VNIND (Industry), etc.
Template for Crypto "Sectors":
S1: BTC.D
S2: ETH.D
S3: TOTAL2 (Altcoin Market Cap)
S4: TOTAL.DEFI (DeFi)
S5: CRYPTOCAP:GAME (GameFi)
...and so on.
Template for Blue Chip Stocks:
Benchmark: INDEX:VN30
S1: HOSE:FPT
S2: HOSE:VCB
S3: HOSE:HPG
S4: HOSE:MWG
...and so on.
Template for Commodities:
Benchmark: TVC:DXY (US Dollar Index)
S1: TVC:GOLD
S2: TVC:USOIL
S3: TVC:SILVER
S4: COMEX:HG1! (Copper)
...and so on.
Step 3: Fine-Tuning
RS Lookback: A larger number (e.g., 100) gives a smoother, long-term view. A smaller number (e.g., 20) is more sensitive to short-term changes.
Z-Scale (Zoom): This is the "magnification" of the map.
If all your sectors are crowded in the middle, increase this number (e.g., 4.0) to "zoom in."
If your sectors are stuck on the edges, decrease this number (e.g., 2.0) to "zoom out."
Tag length: How many letters to display for the ticker (e.g., 4 will show VNFI).

Key Indicators Dashboard (KID)Key Indicators Dashboard (KID) — Comprehensive Market & Trend Metrics
📌 Overview
The Key Indicators Dashboard (KID) is an advanced multi-metric market analysis tool designed to consolidate essential technical, volatility, and relative performance data into a single on-chart table. Instead of switching between multiple indicators, KID centralizes these key measures, making it easier to assess a stock’s technical health, volatility state, trend status, and relative strength at a glance.
🛠 Key Features
⦿ Average Daily Range (ADR %): Measures average daily price movement over a specified period. It is calculated by averaging the daily price range (high - low) over a set number of days (default 20 days).
⦿ Average True Range (ATR): Measures volatility by calculating the average of a true range over a specific period (default 14). It helps traders gauge the typical extent of price movement, regardless of the direction.
⦿ ATR%: Expresses the Average True Range as a percentage of the price, which allows traders to compare the volatility of stocks with different prices.
⦿ Relative Strength (RS): Compares a stock’s performance to a chosen benchmark index (default NIFTYMIDSML400) over a specific period (default 50 days).
⦿ RS Score (IBD-style): A normalized 1–100 rating inspired by Investor’s Business Daily methodology.
How it works: The RS Score is based on a weighted average of price changes over 3 months (40%), 6 months (20%), 9 months (20%), and 12 months (20%).
The raw value is converted into a percentage return, then normalized over the past 252 trading days so the lowest value maps to 1 and the highest to 100.
This produces a percentile-style score that highlights the strongest stocks in relative terms.
⦿ Relative Volume (RVol): Compares a stock's current volume to its average volume over a specific period (default 50). It is calculated by dividing the current volume by the average historical volume.
⦿ Average ₹ Volume (Turnover): Represents the total monetary value of shares traded for a stock. It's calculated by multiplying a day's closing price by its volume, with the final value converted to crores for clarity. This metric is a key indicator of a stock's liquidity and overall market interest.
⦿ Moving Average Extension: Measures how far a stock's current price has moved from from a selected moving average (EMA or SMA). This deviation is normalized by the stock's volatility (ATR%), with a default threshold of 6 ATR used to indicate that the stock is significantly extended and is marked with a selected shape (default Red Flag).
⦿ 52-Weeks High & Low: Measures a stock's current price in relation to its highest and lowest prices over the past year. It calculates the percentage a stock is below its 52-week high and above its 52-week low.
⦿ Market Capitalization: Market Cap represents the total value of all outstanding.
⦿ Free Float: It is the value of shares readily available for public trading, with the Free Float Percentage showing the proportion of shares available to the public.
⦿ Trend: Uses Supertrend indicator to identify the current trend of a stock's price. A factor (default 3) and an ATR period (default 10) is used to signal whether the trend is up or down.
⦿ Minervini Trend Template (MTT): It is a set of technical criteria designed to identify stocks in strong uptrends.
Price > 50-DMA > 150-DMA > 200-DMA
200-DMA is trending up for at least 1 month
Price is at least 30% above its 52-week low.
Price is within at least 25 percent of its 52-week high
Table highlights when a stock meets all above criteria.
⦿ Sector & Industry: Display stock's sector and industry, provides categorical classification to assist sector-based analysis. The sector is a broad economic classification, while the industry is a more specific group within that sector.
⦿ Moving Averages (MAs): Plot up to four customizable Moving Averages on a chart. You can independently set the type (Simple or Exponential), the source price, and the length for each MA to help visualize a stock's underlying trend.
MA1: Default 10-EMA
MA2: Default 20-EMA
MA3: Default 50-EMA
MA4: Default 200-EMA
⦿ Moving Average (MA) Crossover: It is a trend signal that occurs when a shorter-term moving average crosses a longer-term one. This script identifies these crossover events and plots a marker on the chart to visually signal a potential change in trend direction.
User-configurable MAs (short and long).
A bullish crossover occurs when the short MA crosses above the long MA.
A bearish crossover occurs when the short MA crosses below the long MA.
⦿ Inside Bar (IB): An Inside Bar is a candlestick whose entire price range is contained within the range of the previous bar. This script identifies this pattern, which often signals consolidation, and visually marks bullish and bearish inside bars on the chart with distinct colors and labels.
⦿ Tightness: Identifies periods of low volatility and price consolidation. It compares the price range over a short lookback period (default 3) to the average daily range (ADR). When the lookback range is smaller than the ADR, the indicator plots a marker on the chart to signal consolidation.
⦿ PowerBar (Purple Dot): Identifies candles with a strong price move on high volume. By default, it plots a purple dot when a stock moves up or down by at least 5% and has a minimum volume of 500,000. More dots indicate higher volatility and liquidity.
⦿ Squeezing Range (SQ): Identifies periods of low volatility, which can often precede a significant price move. It checks if the Bollinger Bands have narrowed to a range that is smaller than the Average True Range (ATR) for a set number of consecutive bars (default 3).
(UpperBB - LowerBB) < (ATR × 2)
⦿ Mark 52-Weeks High and Low: Marks and labels a stock's 52-Week High and Low prices directly on the chart. It draws two horizontal lines extending from the candles where the highest and lowest prices occurred over the past year, providing a clear visual reference for long-term price extremes.
⏳PineScreener Filters
The indicator’s alert conditions act as filters for PineScreener.
Price Filter: Minimum and maximum price cutoffs (default ₹25 - ₹10000).
Daily Price Change Filter: Minimum and maximum daily percent change (default -5% and 5%).
🔔 Built-in Alerts
Supports alert creation for:
ADR%, ATR/ATR %, RS, RS Rating, Turnover

LOGIC OF THE INDICATOR
The dashboard employs a multi-timeframe analysis approach using five key technical indicators:
1. Triple EMA Analysis
- Compares current price against three different EMA periods (20, 50, 200)
- Bullish Signal: Price above EMA level
- Bearish Signal: Price below EMA level
- Provides short-term, medium-term, and long-term trend perspective
2. RSI Momentum Analysis
- Uses 14-period RSI with 50-level threshold
- Bullish Signal: RSI > 50 (upward momentum)
- Bearish Signal: RSI < 50 (downward momentum)
- Identifies momentum strength and potential reversals
3. SuperTrend Direction
- Utilizes SuperTrend with configurable length and factor
- Bullish Signal: SuperTrend direction = -1 (uptrend)
- Bearish Signal: SuperTrend direction = 1 (downtrend)
- Provides clear trend direction with volatility-adjusted signals
4. MACD Histogram Analysis
- Uses standard MACD (12, 26, 9) histogram values
- Bullish Signal: Histogram > 0 (bullish momentum)
- Bearish Signal: Histogram < 0 (bearish momentum)
- Identifies momentum shifts and trend confirmations
5. Real-time Data Processing

EMA Crossover Visual Setup (RS Clásico Confirmado)Overview
This script is designed to visually highlight classic swing trading setups based on the crossover of exponential moving averages (EMAs), with additional confirmation using Relative Strength (RS) compared to a benchmark asset (e.g., SPY).
The goal is to identify bullish momentum shifts that align both with technical structure (EMA crossover) and relative outperformance, helping traders focus on strong stocks in strong markets.
Logic
A signal is triggered when the following conditions are met:
The fast EMA (e.g., 10) crosses above the slow EMA (e.g., 20).
The closing price is above a third EMA (e.g., 50) to confirm bullish structure.
The asset's Relative Strength (RS) versus a benchmark is confirmed manually, based on an RSI comparison (not calculated inside the script).
The script is meant to be used alongside manual RS confirmation, using a secondary chart or overlay of the RS ratio.
Features
Visual labels and markers for clean charting of valid entry setups
Fully customizable EMA lengths
Optional highlighting of candle patterns near entry
Ideal for use with top-down analysis and watchlist filtering
Suggested Use
Works best on daily and 4H charts for swing trading setups
Combine with volume and price action analysis for higher probability trades
Use manual RS validation: confirm that the RSI of the selected stock is stronger than the RSI of SPY (or any benchmark of your choice)
Notes
This script does not execute trades or include stop loss/take profit logic, as it is intended for discretionary traders who want to visually scan for opportunities.
It also does not calculate RS internally, allowing flexibility in how you define strength (RS line, RSI comparison, or price ratio).
Liqudation HeatMap [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
An advanced liquidity visualization tool that plots horizontal heat zones to highlight where potential liquidations and volume clusters are most likely hiding beneath price action.
Liqudation HeatMap scans historical price movements for local highs and lows with elevated volume or candle range. It then draws dynamic heatmap boxes—shaded from lime (low interest) to yellow (high interest)—revealing potential zones of trapped positions or stop clusters. A vertical scale on the right shows you the relative strength of volume behind each level, from 0 to the highest detected.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Maps areas of potential liquidity using volume or candle range (if volume is unavailable).
Identifies swing highs/lows (pivots) and extends heatmap boxes outward from these levels. Colors each zone based on the relative strength of volume concentration.
Fades or removes zones once price crosses their midpoints, simulating the idea of liquidity being “consumed.”
Displays a live vertical scale that shows the volume range for quick reference.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Heatmap Zones:
Draws few boxes above and after pivot highs and below pivot lows, each shaded based on volume concentration.
Smart Coloring System:
Uses a gradient from lime (low) to yellow (high) to visually distinguish between weak and strong liquidity zones.
Adaptive ATR Widths:
Automatically adjusts zone thickness based on volatility (ATR), scaling intelligently across timeframes.
Liquidity Consumption Logic:
Zones are stope extending once price interacts with them—mimicking the behavior of real liquidation sweeps.
Volume Scale Legend:
A real-time scale is plotted on the right side, showing the min-max range of volume used for heat calculations.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for thick yellow zones to identify areas of concentrated stop losses or liquidation triggers.
Use these levels to anticipate mean reversion points or high-volatility zones.
Combine with your trend or structure tools to trade into or fade these liquidity pools.
On lower timeframes, use this tool to confirm entries around sweeps or deviations.
Use the right-side scale to compare relative zone strength instantly.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Liqudation HeatMap is a powerful visualization tool that uncovers where liquidity likely resides on the chart. By highlighting hidden traps and reactive levels in real-time, it gives traders a significant edge when it comes to spotting stop hunts, mean reversions, and areas of institutional interest. Whether you’re scalping or swing trading, this heatmap provides unmatched context on the market’s hidden intent.
FX Majors (+CN) Currency Basket ComparisonDescription:
This indicator shows how individual FX major currencies (including CNY) have performed relative to each other. It calculates each currency's performance against a "Trade Weighted" basket of other major currencies.
I created this because I couldn't find it, and I wanted an easy way to see currency behaviour and flows.
Purpose:
It lets you see the relative strength and weakness of each currency, similar to how the DXY measures USD strength, but for all the major currencies. Each basket and currency weights are based on Trade Weighted values from literature/economics.
This way you can maybe decide which crosses / pairs to trade.
Can helps you visualise how events (economic, news or otherwise) affect currency flows.
Features:
Relative Performance: Focuses on how a currency's value has changed over time, rather than its absolute level.
Normalization: Adjusts currency values to a starting date, making it easy to compare their performance.
Adjustable Start Date: You can set the anchor date to choose the starting point for calculating relative performance.
Customizable Weights: The indicator allows you to use custom weights for each currency basket should you wish.
ETI IndicatorThe Ensemble Technical Indicator (ETI) is a script that combines multiple established indicators into one single powerful indicator. Specifically, it takes a number of technical indicators and then converts them into +1 to represent a bullish trend, or a -1 to represent a bearish trend. It then adds these values together and takes the running sum over the past 20 days.
The ETI is composed of the following indicators and converted to +1 or -1 using the following criteria:
Simple Moving Average (10 days) : When the price is above the 10-day simple moving averaging, +1, when below -1
Weighted Moving Average (10 days) : Similar to the SMA 10, when the the price is above the 10-day weighted moving average, +1, when below -1
Stochastic K% : If the current Stochastic K% is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Stochastic D% : Similar to the Stochastic K%, when the current Stochastic D% is greater than the previous value, +1, else -1.
MACD Difference : First subtract the MACD signal (i.e. the moving average) from the MACD value and if the current value is higher than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
William's R% : If the current William's R% is greater than the previous one, then +1, else -1.
William's Accumulation/Distribution : If the current William's AD value is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Commodity Channel Index : If the Commodity Channel Index is greater than 200 (overbought), then -1, if it is less than -200 (oversold) then +1. When it is between those values, if the current value is greater than the previous value then +1, else -1.
Relative Strength Index : If the Relative Strength Index is over 70 (overbought) then -1 and if under 30 (oversold) then +1. If the Relative Strength Indicator is between those values then if the current value is higher than the previous value +1, else -1.
Momentum (9 days) : If the momentum value is greater than 0, then +1, else -1.
Again, once these values have been calculated and converted, they are added up to produce a single value. This single value is then summed across the previous 20 candles to produce a running sum.
By coalescing multiple technical indicators into a single value across time, traders can better understand how multiple inter-related indicators are behaving at once; high scores indicate that numerous indicators are showing bullish signals indicating a potential or ongoing uptrend (and vice-versa with low scores).
Additional Features
Numerous smoothing transformations have also been added (e.g. gaussian smoothing) to remove some of the noise might exist.
Suggested Use
It is recommended that stocks are shorted when the cross below 0, and are bought when the ETI crosses above -40. Arrows can be shown on the indicator to show these points. However feel free to use levels that work best for you.
Traditionally, I have treated values above +50 as overbought and below -40 as undersold (with -80 indicating extremely oversold); however these levels could also indicate either upwards and downwards momentum so taking a position based on where the ETI is (rather than crossing levels) should be done with caution.
Multi Scanner Plot & Table V1Here's how to interpret each column in the table:
Price vs MAs:
What it shows: Where the current price is relative to the short-term (e.g., 20-period) and long-term (e.g., 50-period) Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) calculated on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation:
Above Both (Green background): Price is above both the short and long MAs. Generally considered a bullish sign for the current trend.
Below Both (Red background): Price is below both MAs. Generally considered a bearish sign.
Mixed (Gray background): Price is between the two MAs (e.g., above the short but below the long, or vice-versa). Indicates indecision or a potential trend change.
RSI Value:
What it shows: The actual numerical value of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculated on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation: Just the raw RSI number (e.g., 65.32). The background is always gray. You compare this value to standard overbought/oversold levels (like 70/30) or the levels defined in the script's inputs.
RSI Status:
What it shows: Interprets the RSI Value based on the Overbought/Oversold levels set in the script's inputs (default 70/30). Calculated on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation:
Overbought (Red background): RSI is above the overbought level (e.g., > 70). Suggests the asset might be due for a pullback or reversal downwards. Red indicates a potentially bearish condition.
Oversold (Green background): RSI is below the oversold level (e.g., < 30). Suggests the asset might be due for a bounce or reversal upwards. Green indicates a potentially bullish condition.
Neutral (Gray background): RSI is between the oversold and overbought levels.
Last Sig Price:
What it shows: The price level where the last "SIG NOW" Buy or Sell signal occurred on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation: Helps you see the entry price of the most recent short-term signal generated by this script. The background color matches the signal type: Green for the last Buy signal, Red for the last Sell signal. N/A if no signal has occurred yet.
SIG NOW:
What it shows: This is the main short-term signal generated by the script based on conditions on your current chart's timeframe. It combines the "Price vs MAs" status and specific RSI conditions (price must be above/below both MAs and RSI must be within a certain range defined in the inputs).
Interpretation:
BUY (Green background): The specific buy conditions are met right now. (Price above both MAs AND RSI is strong but not necessarily overbought).
SELL (Red background): The specific sell conditions are met right now. (Price below both MAs AND RSI is weak but not necessarily oversold).
NEUTRAL (Gray background): Neither the Buy nor the Sell conditions are currently met.
ALERT:
What it shows: Flags unusual volume activity on the current bar compared to the recent average volume (calculated on your current chart's timeframe).
Interpretation:
SPIKE (Yellow background, black text): Current volume is significantly higher than the recent average (defined by the Volume Spike Multiplier). Can indicate strong interest or a potential climax.
DUMP (Purple background): Current volume is significantly lower than the recent average (defined by the Volume Dump Multiplier). Can indicate fading interest.
NONE (Gray background): Volume is within the normal range for the lookback period.
SD$:
What it shows: The price level where the last Volume Spike or Dump occurred on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation: Shows the price associated with the most recent significant volume event. The background color indicates the type of the last event: Green if the last event was a Spike, Red if the last event was a Dump. N/A if no Spike/Dump has occurred yet.
BB Value (%B):
What it shows: This relates to Bollinger Bands, but specifically calculated on a Higher Timeframe (HTF) that you can set in the inputs (e.g., Daily BBs while viewing an Hourly chart). It shows the Bollinger Band Percent B (%B) value for that HTF. %B measures where the HTF closing price is relative to the HTF upper and lower bands.
Interpretation:
Value > 1: HTF price closed above the HTF upper Bollinger Band.
Value < 0: HTF price closed below the HTF lower Bollinger Band.
Value between 0 and 1: HTF price closed within the HTF Bollinger Bands (e.g., 0.5 is exactly on the middle band).
The background is always gray.
LTS (Long Term Signal):
What it shows: A signal derived only from the Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bollinger Bands.
Interpretation:
BUY (Green background): The HTF price closed above the HTF upper Bollinger Band (see BB Value > 1). Considered a strong bullish signal from the higher timeframe perspective.
SELL (Red background): The HTF price closed below the HTF lower Bollinger Band (see BB Value < 0). Considered a strong bearish signal from the higher timeframe perspective.
NEUTRAL (Gray background): The HTF price closed within the HTF Bollinger Bands.
How to Understand Bollinger Bands and Signals in this Context:
Bollinger Bands are primarily used for the Long Term Signal (LTS) column. This script calculates BBs on a higher timeframe (you choose which one, or it defaults to the chart's timeframe if left blank).
The "LTS" signal triggers:
A BUY when the price on that higher timeframe closes above its upper Bollinger Band. This often indicates strong momentum or a potential breakout.
A SELL when the price on that higher timeframe closes below its lower Bollinger Band. This often indicates strong negative momentum or a potential breakdown.
The "BB Value" column gives you the raw %B number from that same higher timeframe, showing you exactly where the price is relative to the bands (is it just barely above/below, or way outside?).
The script does not directly use Bollinger Bands from the current chart timeframe for the "SIG NOW" or other table signals. The main short-term signals ("SIG NOW") rely on Moving Averages and RSI on the current timeframe. The LTS provides a longer-term perspective using HTF Bollinger Bands.
In summary: Look at the table to quickly gauge:
Short-term trend (Price vs MAs).
Short-term momentum (RSI Status, SIG NOW).
Recent short-term entry points (Last Sig Price).
Current volume anomalies (ALERT).
Long-term strength/weakness based on HTF Bollinger Bands (LTS, BB Value).
Combine these pieces of information to get a more rounded view of the current market conditions according to this specific script's logic.
Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:
- Need to identify high-liquidity periods
- Want to avoid low-volume periods
- Look for volume breakouts or divergences
- Trade based on institutional participation levels
3. Mean Reversion Traders
Helps identify:
- Overextended volume conditions (potential reversals)
- Volume exhaustion points
- Return to normal volume levels after spikes
4. Momentum Traders
Useful for:
- Confirming trend strength through volume
- Identifying potential trend exhaustion
- Validating breakouts with volume confirmation
Advantages Over Traditional Volume Indicators
1. Contextual Analysis
- Shows relative strength rather than raw numbers
- Easier to compare across different time periods
- Automatically adjusts to changing market conditions
2. Period-Specific Insights
- Respects natural market cycles (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Special handling for NYSE trading days
- Eliminates weekend noise in stock market analysis
3. Flexible Visualization
- Three distinct coloring methods for different trading styles
- Clear reference line at 1.0 for quick analysis
- Histogram style for easy pattern recognition
Best Practices
For Day Traders
- Use Daily split for intraday volume patterns
- MA coloring mode with shorter periods (5-10)
- Focus on ratios during market hours
For Swing Traders
- Weekly or NYSE Weekly splits
- Longer MA periods (15-20)
- Look for sustained volume patterns
For Position Traders
- Monthly or Quarterly splits
- Candle color mode for trend confirmation
- Focus on major volume shifts
Limitations
- Requires one full period to establish baseline
- May be less effective in extremely low volume conditions
- NYSE Weekly mode specific to stock market hours
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who understand that volume is a crucial component of price action but need a more sophisticated way to analyze it than simple volume bars. It's especially useful for those who trade based on market participation levels and need to quickly identify whether current volume is significant relative to recent history.
