Reflex - A new Ehlers indicatorSource: Stocks and Commodities V38 Hooray! A new John Ehlers indicator! John claims this indicator is lag-less and uses the SPY on the Daily as an example. He states that drawing a line from peak to peak (or trough to trough) will correspond perfectly with the Asset. I have to say I agree! There is typically one bar of lag or no lag at all! I believe this indicator can be used for either entries or exits, but not both. Entry 1. Entering Long positions at the pivot low points (Stocks and ETFs) 2. Entering Long when the Reflex crosses above the zero lines (Stocks, ETFs, Commodities) Exit 1. Exiting Long positions at a new pivot high point (Stocks and ETFs) 2. Exiting Long when the Reflex crosses below the zero lines (Stocks, ETFs, Commodities) In this example, I place a Long order on the SPY every time the Reflex crosses above the zero level and exit when it crosses below or pops my stop loss, set at 1.5 * Daily ATR. 4/6 Wins +10.76% For me, that's good enough to create a strategy and backtest on several Indices and ETFs, which is what I have a hunch this will work on. I think there is a lot of promise from a single Indicator! Let me know in the comment section if you're able to use this in a strategy.

Swing-Trade-Stocks SystemThis is a simple swing trade system inspired by sources on the internet. The rules are as follows: Buy when first green arrow appears after 10ma above 30ma Set stop-loss below most recent support Set take-profit below most recent swing point high or wait until price closes below 30ma (red) Short when first purple arrow appears after 10ma below 30ma Set stop-loss above most recent resistance Set take-profit above most recent swing point low or wait until price closes above 30ma (red) The background color changes based on the direction of SPY. If SPY is going down (10ma < 30ma) the background will be red and only short indicators (purple arrows) will appear. If SPY is going up (10ma > 30ma), the background will be green and only long indicators (green arrows) will appear. Happy trading!

Market Internals [Makit0] MARKET INTERNALS INDICATOR v0.5beta Market Internals are suitable for day trade equity indices, named SPY or /ES, please do your own research about what they are and how to use them This scripts plots the NYSE market internals charts as an indicator for an easy and full visualization of market internal structure all in one chart, useful for SPY and /ES trading Description of the Market Internals - TICK: NYSE stocks ticking up vs stocks ticking down, extreme values may point to trend continuation on trending days or reversal in non trending days, example of extreme values can be 800 and 1000 - ADD: NYSE stocks going up vs stocks going down, if price auctions around the zero line may be a non trend day, otherwise may be a trend day - VOLD: NYSE volume of stocks up vs volume of stocks going down, identify clearly where the volume is going, as example if volume is flowing down may be a good idea no to place longs - TRIN: NYSE up stocks vs down stocks ratio divided by up volume vs down volume ratio. A value of 1 indicates parity, below that the strength is on the long side, above the strength is in the short side. A basic use of market internals may be looking for divergences, for example: - /ES is trading in a range but ADD and VOLD are trending up nonstop, may /ES will break the range to the upside - /ES is trading in a range and ADD and VOLD are trading around the zero line but got an extreme reading on TICK, may be a non trending day and the TICK extreme reading is at one of the extremes of the /ES range, may be a good probability trade to fade that move - /ES is trading in a trend to the downside, ADD and VOLD too, you catch a good portion of the move but are fearful to flat and miss more gains, you see in the TICK a lot of extreme values below -800 so your're confident in the continuation of the downtrend, until the TICK goes beyond -1000 and you use that signal to go flat Market internals give you context and confirmation, price in /ES may be trending but if market internals do not confirm the move may a reversal is on its way Price is an advertise, you can see the real move in the structure below, in the behavior of the individual components of the market, those are the real questions: - How many stocks are going up/down (ADD) - How many volume is flowing up/down (VOLD) - How many stocks are ticking up/down (TICK) - What is the overall volume breath of the market (TRIN) FEATURES: - Plot one of the four basic market internal indices: TICK, ADD, VOLD and TRIN - Show labels with values beyond an user defined threshold - Show ZERO line - Show user defined Dotted and Dashed lines - Show user defined moving average SETTINGS: - Market internal: ticker to plot in the indicator, four options to choose from (TICK, ADD, VOLD and TRIN) - Labels threshold: all values beyond this will be ploted as labels - Dot lines at: two dotted lines will be plotted at this value above and below the zero line - Dash lines at: two dashed lines will be plotted at this value above and below the zero line - MA type: two options avaiable SMA (Simple Moving Average) or EMA (Exponential Moving Average) - MA length: number of bars to calculate the moving average - Show zero line: show or hide zero line - Show dot line: show or hide dotted lines - Show dash line: show or hide dashed lines - Show labels: show or hide labels GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY TRADING

GA - Comparative Relative StrengthGA - Comparative Relative Strength is an Oscillator. It shows the Relative Strength of a Financial Instrument . It defines the Relative Strength in relation to Markets, Sectors, Sub-sectors ETFs . Besides, it includes also Currency Indices and the manual selection of Financial Instruments. Groups of ETFs and Manual Selection You enable the Group of Financial Instruments that collects the ETF in your interest. Besides, you can enable more that one group. This lets you show Relative Strength Curves related to ETFs of the groups selected. For example, it can show the Relative Strength related to Market and Sector ETFs. Besides, you can show the Relative Strength related to Sector and Industry ETFs. The Groups of ETFs are SPDR Categories: SPDR Core ETFs. SPDR Select Sector ETFs. SPDR Industry ETFs. An extra group includes Currency Indices. Oscillator around Zero The Relative Strength of 2 Financial Instruments waves around a borderline. This line is a mean. The GA - Comparative Relative Strength normalizes the curve to the borderline. This makes an Oscillator around Zero. Upper and Lower Bands Upper and Lower Bands can follow the full curve. But you can Enable or Disable the visualization of Partial Bands. They follow the curve only for positive waves or for negative waves. Bands are dynamic levels. Their role is to define where the Relative Strength becomes relevant or normal. When the Relative Strength persists above the Upper Band, Financial Instrument is strong. When the Relative Strength persists below the Lower Band, Financial Instrument is weak. The Upper and Lower Bands are relevant tools in the decision process to enter the market long or short. You need to buy Financial Instrument that is outperforming the related market. In the same way, short/sell financial instruments that are under-performing the marketplace. A Relative Strength that decreases below the Upper Band shows a weakening. A Relative Strength that increases above the Lower Band shows a reinforcement. These indications can precede an eventual change of sentiment of large investors. Currency Indices The difficult part is when you want to define the Relative Strength of a Currency Pair. In this case, you can compare a pair with a group of other related pairs. In the same way, you can try to use a Currency Index or a specific calculation. The use of a Currency Index shows limitations to define the Relative Strength in a proper way. But an expert trader can define it in different ways so as with different tools. Besides, an expert trader knows the pairs included in the currency index. Moreover, he knows the formula and the weights of the currency pairs included in the index. The GA - Comparative Relative Strength gives you a collection of Currency Indices. You can enable it and use the Currency Index you need. Note: I restrict access to the tool.

Willams %RwEMAspy Was looking for something else when surfed into an old question wanting %R 21 period with EMA 13 period of the %R signal and being a rookie at this, made this code to post for them. Tried to comment the script in such a way that other rookies like me could make better sense of what is being done. Hope this helps someone. I find it useful as one of my indicators for trading. Pinescript for tradingview.com user Tom1trader All time frames. Interpretation: %R (Red) crosses above it's average (Blue) - bull %R crosses below it's average - bear. Background color changes green-up red-down with above crossings. Most but not all of serious price movement takes place from the time the %R (red) goes into oversold (or bought) and exits again. %R centerline crosses can also be useful. I use various indicators and want all of the confirmation that I can get for expectations BUT I never know what the next bar will do and define my risks accordingly.

Sectors Relative Strength Normal DistributionI wrote this indicator as an attempt to see the Relative Strengths of different sectors in the same scale, but there is also other ways to do that. This indicator plots the normal distribution for the 10 sectors of the SPY for the last X bars of the selected resolution, based on the selected comparative security. It shows which sectors are outperforming and underperforming the SPY (or any other security) relatively to each other by the given deviation.

Market Pressure Regime [Interakktive]The Market Pressure Regime (MPR) is a 4-state market classifier that models how structural forces create "pressure zones" — regions where price movement is either supported (Release) or suppressed (Pinned) by market microstructure. It combines compression analysis, follow-through efficiency, and stress detection into a composite pressure score, classifying markets into Release, Suppressed, Transition, or Trap states — helping traders understand WHY price is moving (or not moving) in the current environment. █ USAGE MPR addresses a core question traders face: Is the market in a regime where directional moves are likely to follow through, or is it structurally pinned? For swing traders, MPR identifies Release phases where momentum strategies work best, and Suppressed phases where mean reversion dominates. For day traders, it highlights Trap conditions — high effort with no follow-through — where reversals are probable and trend entries fail. 🔹 The 4-State Model The indicator classifies markets into four distinct regimes: • Release (Teal): Pressure score ≥ +5. Directional flow dominates. Price moves efficiently with follow-through. Favor trend continuation. • Suppressed (Grey): Pressure score ≤ -5. Compression dominates. Price is range-bound or pinned. Fade extremes, expect reversion. • Transition (Amber): Score between thresholds OR instability detected. Regime is uncertain — wait for confirmation before committing. • Trap (Magenta): High stress + low follow-through. Effort without result. Expect reversals. 🔹 Reading the Pressure Histogram The histogram displays the composite Pressure Score (range approximately -100 to +100): • Positive values: Follow-through exceeds compression. Market is "releasing" — directional moves are supported. • Negative values: Compression exceeds follow-through. Market is "suppressed" — price movement is constrained. • Color reflects confirmed state: The histogram uses persistence filtering — a state must hold for N bars before the color changes, preventing false signals from noise. 🔹 The 5-Stage Calculation MPR synthesizes five analytical stages into the final state: 1. Compression Score: Measures how tight the current range is relative to ATR. High compression suggests structural forces are pinning price. 2. Follow-Through Score: Measures price path efficiency (MER-style). Efficient moves indicate genuine directional flow, not chop. 3. Stress Score: Detects effort-without-result (ERD-style). High volume or range with no price progress = absorption. 4. Composite Pressure: Combines follow-through and compression into a single directional score. 5. Persistence Filter: Requires states to hold for configurable bars before confirming, eliminating flickering. █ SETTINGS Core Settings • ATR Length: Period for volatility normalization. Default 14. • Baseline Lookback: Period for compression and efficiency baselines. Default 20. • Volume Average Length: Period for stress calculation baseline. Default 20. State Classification • Release Threshold: Pressure score above this = Release. Default +5. • Suppressed Threshold: Pressure score below this = Suppressed. Default -5. • Trap Threshold: Stress score above this (with low follow-through) = Trap. Default 30. • Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change. Default 3. • Stability Lookback: Period for stability calculation. Default 20. • Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition state. Default 0.5. Visual Settings • Show Pressure Histogram: Display the main pressure score histogram. • Show Zero Line: Display the zero reference line. • Show Background Tint: Subtle background color by state (default OFF). Data Window • Show Data Window Values: Export all calculated scores for analysis. █ INTERPRETATION GUIDE When to Use Trend Strategies (Release): • Histogram tall and positive • Teal coloring confirmed • Price making efficient higher highs or lower lows When to Use Mean Reversion (Suppressed): • Histogram flat or negative • Grey coloring confirmed • Price oscillating without follow-through When to Wait (Transition): • Amber coloring • Mixed signals — don't force trades • Wait for state to resolve When to Expect Reversals (Trap): • Magenta coloring • High volume moves that don't stick • Often occurs at structural inflection points █ COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS MPR pairs well with: • Volatility State Index (VSI) — Confirms whether volatility is expanding into the pressure regime • Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) — Provides bar-by-bar absorption/vacuum detection • Market Efficiency Ratio (MER) — Validates follow-through quality █ SUITABLE MARKETS Works across all liquid markets: • Equities: SPY, QQQ, liquid single stocks • Futures: ES, NQ, CL, GC • Crypto: BTC, ETH • Forex: Major pairs Works on any timeframe, but 1H–Daily provides cleanest regime classification. Intraday (5m–15m) useful for session-level tactical decisions. █ OPEN SOURCE This indicator is open-source for educational purposes. Review the code to understand the full calculation methodology. █ DISCLAIMER This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own analysis and use proper risk management.

Price pulls back toward the 200 EMA (blue line) 2. Look for bullish reversal candle near 200 EMA 3. Enter LONG 4. Stop below 200 EMA 5. Hold while in green zone Example: • Chart shows green shading • Price dips to 200 EMA and bounces • Enter long at bounce confirmation • Stop 5-10 pips below 200 EMA • Exit when price crosses back below 200 EMA (turns red) ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ✅ STRATEGY #2: BREAKOUT TRADING (TREND CHANGE) Watch for color change (crossover): GREEN → RED (bearish reversal): 1.

A stock green for months has strong bullish momentum. 💡 **Watch Volume at Crossovers** When price crosses the 200 EMA with HIGH volume = strong signal Low volume crossover = might be false breakout 💡 **Use Multiple Timeframes** • Daily chart = overall trend direction • 4H chart = swing trade setups • 1H chart = day trade entries Always align smaller timeframe trades with larger timeframe color! 💡 **Strongest Setups = Clean Trends** Best trades happen when: • Chart stays ONE color for extended period • Price respects 200 EMA as support/resistance • No frequent crossovers ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── COMMON QUESTIONS ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ❓ "What if price crosses the 200 EMA frequently?" → That's a ranging market. Stay out or trade smaller size. Wait for a clear trend. ❓ "Can I change the colors?" → Not in this version, but green/red is universal and intuitive. ❓ "Does this work on all timeframes?" → Yes! But longer timeframes (4H, Daily) tend to give cleaner signals. ❓ "Should I always use the 200 EMA?" → The 200 is the institutional standard. Stick with it for consistency. ❓ "What about the 50 or 20 EMA?" → You can add those separately. This indicator focuses on the proven 200 EMA. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── THE GOLDEN RULE ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 🟢 GREEN = GO LONG (or stay long) 🔴 RED = GO SHORT (or stay short) 🔄 FREQUENT CHANGES = STAY OUT It's that simple. The trend is your friend - this indicator just makes it impossible to miss! ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Happy Trading! 📈 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

ODTE Layman Signals 📌 Script Name Layman Options Signals – Structured BUY CALL / BUY PUT with SL & TP 📖 Overview This indicator is a complete, finished intraday trading system designed to simplify options trading (including 0DTE and weekly options) by converting price action and market structure into clear, actionable signals. The script performs all analysis in the background and displays only what the trader needs to execute consistently: BUY CALL or BUY PUT Predefined Stop Loss (SL) Two Take Profit levels (TP1 and TP2) Trade status and levels displayed in a live status box The focus of this tool is execution discipline, not prediction. 🧠 Core Concepts Used (What Makes This Script Original) This script combines multiple price-action concepts into a single, rule-based framework: 1️⃣ Opening Range Breakout (ORB) The script calculates the opening range high and low using the first X minutes of the regular session. Trades are only allowed above ORB high for CALLs and below ORB low for PUTs. This filters low-quality trades during early chop. 2️⃣ Market Structure Confirmation CALL trades require higher highs and higher lows PUT trades require lower lows and lower highs This prevents trading against structure. 3️⃣ Retest & Liquidity Sweep Validation Breakouts are validated using: ORB retests (price accepts above/below the range) Liquidity sweeps (false breakouts that trap traders) This helps reduce fake breakouts. 4️⃣ Volatility-Aware Risk Management Stop losses are placed using market structure + ATR buffer This avoids stops being placed at obvious levels. 5️⃣ Multi-Target Trade Management TP1 = partial profit (risk reduction) TP2 = runner target (trend continuation) After TP1, stop loss can move to breakeven (optional) 6️⃣ Discipline Controls Only one active trade at a time Cooldown period after a stop loss Prevents over-trading and revenge trading 📊 What the Indicator Displays The script plots the following directly on the chart: Entry level Stop Loss (SL) Take Profit 1 (TP1) Take Profit 2 (TP2) Opening Range High & Low It also includes a Status Box that always shows one of the following states: WAIT BUY CALL BUY PUT IN TRADE COOLDOWN This allows traders to understand the current state at a glance without reading code. ▶️ How to Use the Indicator Recommended Timeframes 1-minute or 2-minute charts Intraday use only Entry Rules When BUY CALL appears → Buy an ATM or slightly ITM call When BUY PUT appears → Buy an ATM or slightly ITM put Risk Management Exit immediately if price hits the SL line Take partial profits at TP1 Hold remaining position for TP2 if conditions allow When Status Shows WAIT or COOLDOWN No trade should be taken ⚙️ Recommended Instruments SPY / QQQ Liquid large-cap stocks Intraday options (0DTE / weeklies) ⚠️ Important Disclaimer This script is provided for educational purposes only. It is not financial advice It does not guarantee profits It does not place trades automatically Options trading involves significant risk Always test using paper trading or small size before live use. 🎯 Who This Script Is For ✔ Traders who want clear rules ✔ Traders who prefer price action over indicators ✔ Options traders who value risk management ✔ Users who want less chart clutter and more discipline ❌ Not intended for swing trading ❌ Not intended for automated trading systems 🧩 Final Notes This is a complete, finished indicator, not a test or experimental script. All logic is deterministic, non-repainting, and designed for real-time use. The philosophy behind this tool is simple: Good trading comes from structure, discipline, and risk control — not prediction.

Volume Weighted Initial Balance This indicator dynamically calculates and plots a Volume-Weighted Initial Balance (VW-IB) for U.S. equity trading sessions (Regular Trading Hours: 9:30–16:00 ET). Unlike traditional time-based Initial Balance (fixed first 30/60 minutes), this version ends the IB formation when a user-defined percentage of the 20-day Average Daily Volume (ADV) is reached – providing a more adaptive, market-activity-driven range that better reflects actual participation. Key Concepts and Methodology: - 20-day Average Daily Volume (ADV20) is calculated using daily volume from the security's daily timeframe. - A customizable target volume percentage (default 25%, adjustable 10–50%) determines the threshold (e.g., 25% of ADV20). - The Initial Balance period begins at 9:30 AM ET and accumulates intrabar volume in real time. - The IB completes on the first bar where either: - Cumulative volume since open reaches or exceeds the target, OR - A safety time cap (default 30 minutes, adjustable 15–60) is hit. - Once complete, the script locks in the high and low of the IB period and plots them as horizontal lines. - Additionally, it maintains a rolling 20-day history of prior IB ranges and computes their average. This average range is projected as a centered band around today's 9:30 open price, giving traders a statistical expectation of "normal" early-session volatility based on recent behavior. Visual Features: - Solid green/red lines for today's completed IB high and low. - Blue circled lines and lightly filled band showing the 20-day average IB projection (centered on actual 9:30 open price). - Subtle background shading while the IB is still forming. - A clean top-right table displaying live status: completion state, today's IB range, 20-day average range, ADV20, and volume target. - A label appears at completion showing exact range, minutes taken, and volume reached. Usage Ideas: - Use the VW-IB high/low as early support/resistance or breakout levels. - Compare today's actual IB range to the 20-day average band for expansion/contraction context (wide today = high volatility day potential). - Ideal for day traders on stocks, ETFs, or futures with clear RTH sessions (e.g., ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, AAPL). - Built-in alert fires only once per day when the VW-IB completes. This is not a simple replication of fixed-time Initial Balance indicators. The volume-weighted termination (instead of rigid clock time), combined with real-time intrabar volume accumulation, safety time cap, rolling 20-day average projection band centered on actual open, and comprehensive live table, makes it uniquely adaptive and informative.

Minervini Scanner [MarketSmith RS] (up to 40 tickers)"Find the Leaders. Ignore the Laggards." This dashboard is a complete Trend & Momentum Command Center designed to replicate the manual screening process of top growth traders like Mark Minervini and William O'Neil. It scans up to 40 tickers simultaneously to identify "Stage 2" super-performance candidates while filtering out broken trends and "zombie" stocks. Core Features 1. The "Trend Template" Engine The scanner automatically checks every ticker against 7 strict trend criteria to verify a healthy Stage 2 Uptrend: Price > 150-Day & 200-Day Moving Averages. 150-Day MA > 200-Day MA. 200-Day MA is Trending Up (at least 1 month). 50-Day MA > 150-Day & 200-Day MAs. Price > 50-Day MA (Momentum Check). Price > 25% above 52-Week Low. Price within 25% of 52-Week High. 2. Institutional RS Rating (0-99) Unlike standard "Relative Strength" indicators that just compare price to SPY, this script uses the IBD/MarketSmith Methodology: Weighted Performance: It calculates a composite score based on price performance over the last 12 months, with a heavy 40% weight on the most recent quarter. Percentile Proxy: It maps this weighted score to a 1-99 rating scale using fixed constants derived from historical market leader data. 90-99 (Blue): Market Leaders (Top 10%). 80-89 (Green): Institutional Candidates. < 70 (Red): Laggards. How to Read the Dashboard STAGE 2 (Lime Green): The "Holy Grail" signal. The stock meets 7/7 trend criteria. It is fundamentally sound and ready for a setup (like a VCP). SETTING UP (Yellow): Score 5/7 or 6/7. The trend is developing but not perfect (e.g., 200MA might still be flat). Watch for improvements. AVOID (Maroon): Broken trend. Moving averages are stacked downward. Do not trade long. RS Rating: Look for the "Power Combo": A STAGE 2 trend status combined with an RS Rating of 80+. This indicates the stock is not only going up but is outperforming the vast majority of the market. Settings & Customization 40-Ticker Watchlist: Monitor your entire focus list in one panel. Adjustable Constants: You can fine-tune the RS Rating thresholds (p99, p90) to adapt to Bull or Bear market volatility. MA Type: Switch between SMA (Simple) and EMA (Exponential) moving averages. Disclaimer: This tool provides technical analysis data, not financial advice. Always manage risk.

Wait for pullback to EMA20 or SMA20 2. Look for RSI < 60 3. Enter when candle closes above MA 4. Confluence should be 2+ **Stop Loss:** - Below the recent swing low - Or 2 × ATR below entry **Take Profit:** - At previous high - Or 2.5:1 R:R minimum **Position Size:** - Can use full size (2% risk) - High win rate regime **Example Trade:** ``` Price: $100, pulls back to $98 (EMA20) Entry: $98.50 (close above EMA) Stop: $96.50 (2 ATR) Target: $103.50 (2.5:1) Risk: $2, Reward: $5 ``` --- ### BEAR TRENDING - Most Profitable Short Environment **Strategy: Sell Every Rally** **Entry Rules:** 1. Wait for bounce to EMA20 or SMA20 2. Look for RSI > 40 3. Enter when candle closes below MA 4. Confluence should be 2+ **Stop Loss:** - Above the recent swing high - Or 2 × ATR above entry **Take Profit:** - At previous low - Or 2.5:1 R:R minimum **Position Size:** - Can use full size (2% risk) - High win rate regime **Example Trade:** ``` Price: $100, rallies to $102 (EMA20) Entry: $101.50 (close below EMA) Stop: $103.50 (2 ATR) Target: $96.50 (2.5:1) Risk: $2, Reward: $5 ``` --- ### BULL RANGING - Buy Low, Sell High **Strategy: Range Trading (Long Bias)** **Entry Rules:** 1. Wait for price at support zone 2. Look for RSI < 40 3. Enter on reversal candle 4. Confluence should be 1-2+ **Stop Loss:** - Below support zone - Tighter than trending (1.5 ATR) **Take Profit:** - At resistance zone - Don't hold through resistance **Position Size:** - Reduce to 1-1.5% risk - Lower win rate than trending **Example Trade:** ``` Range: $95-$105 Entry: $96 (at support, RSI 35) Stop: $94 (below support) Target: $104 (at resistance) Risk: $2, Reward: $8 (4:1) ``` --- ### BEAR RANGING - Sell High, Buy Low **Strategy: Range Trading (Short Bias)** **Entry Rules:** 1. Wait for price at resistance zone 2. Look for RSI > 60 3. Enter on rejection candle 4. Confluence should be 1-2+ **Stop Loss:** - Above resistance zone - Tighter than trending (1.5 ATR) **Take Profit:** - At support zone - Don't hold through support **Position Size:** - Reduce to 1-1.5% risk - Lower win rate than trending **Example Trade:** ``` Range: $95-$105 Entry: $104 (at resistance, RSI 65) Stop: $106 (above resistance) Target: $96 (at support) Risk: $2, Reward: $8 (4:1) ``` --- ### CONSOLIDATION - Wait for Breakout **Strategy: Breakout Trading** **Entry Rules:** 1.

More factors aligning = higher probability. ### Confluence Requirements by Regime **Trending Regimes** (strictest): - Minimum 2/5 required - 3/5 = Good - 4-5/5 = Excellent **Ranging Regimes** (moderate): - Minimum 1-2/5 required - 2/5 = Good - 3+/5 = Excellent **Consolidation** (breakout only): - Volume is most critical - Direction confirmation - Less confluence needed ### Adjusting Minimum Confluence **If too few signals:** - Lower from 2 to 1 - More trades, lower quality **If too many false signals:** - Raise from 2 to 3 - Fewer trades, higher quality **Recommendation:** - Start at 2 - Adjust based on win rate - Aim for 55-65% win rate --- ## STRATEGY BACKTESTING ### Loading the Strategy 1. Copy `market_regime_strategy.pine` 2. Open Pine Editor in TradingView 3. Paste and "Add to Chart" 4. Strategy Tester tab opens at bottom ### Initial Settings ``` Risk Per Trade: 2% ATR Stop Multiplier: 2.0 Reward:Risk Ratio: 2.5 Trade Longs: ✓ Trade Shorts: ✓ Trade Trending Only: ✗ (test both) Avoid Chaos: ✓ Minimum Confluence: 2 ``` ### What to Look For **Good Results:** - Win Rate: 50-60% - Profit Factor: 1.8-2.5 - Net Profit: Positive - Max Drawdown: <20% - Consistent equity curve **Warning Signs:** - Win Rate: <45% (too many losses) - Profit Factor: <1.5 (barely profitable) - Max Drawdown: >30% (too risky) - Erratic equity curve (unstable) ### Testing Different Regimes **Test 1: Trending Only** ``` Trade Trending Only: ✓ Result: Higher win rate, fewer trades ``` **Test 2: All Regimes** ``` Trade Trending Only: ✗ Result: More trades, potentially lower win rate ``` **Test 3: Long Only** ``` Trade Longs: ✓ Trade Shorts: ✗ Result: Works in bull markets ``` **Test 4: Short Only** ``` Trade Longs: ✗ Trade Shorts: ✓ Result: Works in bear markets ``` --- ## SETTINGS OPTIMIZATION ### Key Parameters to Adjust #### 1. Risk Per Trade (Most Important) - **0.5%** = Very conservative - **1.0%** = Conservative (recommended for beginners) - **2.0%** = Moderate (recommended) - **3.0%** = Aggressive - **5.0%** = Very aggressive (not recommended) **Impact:** Higher risk = higher returns BUT bigger drawdowns #### 2. Reward:Risk Ratio - **2:1** = More wins needed, hit target faster - **2.5:1** = Balanced (recommended) - **3:1** = Fewer wins needed, hold longer - **4:1** = Very patient, best in trending **Impact:** Higher R:R = can have lower win rate #### 3. Minimum Confluence - **1** = More signals, lower quality - **2** = Balanced (recommended) - **3** = Fewer signals, higher quality - **4** = Very selective - **5** = Almost never triggers **Impact:** Higher = fewer but better trades #### 4. ADX Thresholds - **Trending: 20-30** (default 25) - Lower = detect trends earlier - Higher = only strong trends - **Ranging: 15-25** (default 20) - Lower = identify ranging earlier - Higher = only weak trends #### 5. Trend Period (SMA) - **20-50** = Short-term trends - **50** = Medium-term (default, recommended) - **100-200** = Long-term trends **Impact:** Longer period = slower regime changes, more stable ### Optimization Workflow **Step 1: Baseline** - Use all default settings - Test on 3+ years - Record: Win Rate, PF, Drawdown **Step 2: Risk Optimization** - Test 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% - Find best risk-adjusted return - Balance profit vs drawdown **Step 3: R:R Optimization** - Test 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1 - Check which maximizes profit factor - Consider holding time **Step 4: Confluence Optimization** - Test 1, 2, 3 - Find sweet spot for win rate - Aim for 55-65% win rate **Step 5: Regime Filter** - Test with/without trend filter - Test with/without chaos filter - Find what works for your asset --- ## REAL TRADING EXAMPLES ### Example 1: Bull Trending - SPY **Setup:** - Regime: BULL TRENDING - Price pulls back from $450 to $445 - EMA20 at $444 - RSI drops to 45 - Confluence: 4/5 **Entry:** - Price closes at $445.50 (above EMA20) - LONG signal appears - Enter at $445.50 **Risk Management:** - Stop: $443 (2 ATR = $2.50) - Target: $451.75 (2.5:1 = $6.25) - Risk: $2.50 per share - Position: 80 shares (2% of $10k = $200 risk) **Outcome:** - Price rallies to $452 in 3 days - Target hit - Profit: $6.50 × 80 = $520 - Return: 2.6 × risk (excellent) --- ### Example 2: Bear Ranging - AAPL **Setup:** - Regime: BEAR RANGING - Range: $165-$175 - Price rallies to $174 - Resistance at $175 - RSI at 68 - Confluence: 3/5 **Entry:** - Rejection candle at $174 - SHORT signal appears - Enter at $173.50 **Risk Management:** - Stop: $176 (above resistance) - Target: $166 (support) - Risk: $2.50 - Position: 80 shares **Outcome:** - Price drops to $167 in 2 days - Target hit - Profit: $6.50 × 80 = $520 - Return: 2.6 × risk --- ### Example 3: Consolidation Breakout - BTC **Setup:** - Regime: CONSOLIDATION - Range: $28,000 - $30,000 - Compressed for 2 weeks - Volume declining **Breakout:** - Price breaks $30,000 - Volume surges 200% - Close at $30,500 - LONG signal **Entry:** - Enter at $30,500 **Risk Management:** - Stop: $29,500 (back in range) - Target: $32,000 (range height = $2k) - Risk: $1,000 - Position: 0.2 BTC ($200 risk on $10k) **Outcome:** - Price runs to $33,000 - Target exceeded - Profit: $2,500 × 0.2 = $500 - Return: 2.5 × risk --- ### Example 4: Avoiding Chaos - Tesla **Setup:** - Regime: BULL TRENDING - LONG position from $240 - Elon tweets something crazy - Regime changes to CHAOS **Action:** - EXIT signal appears - Close position immediately - Current price: $242 (small profit) **Outcome:** - Next 3 days: wild swings - High $255, Low $230 - By staying out, avoided: - Potential stop out - Whipsaw losses - Stress **Result:** - Small profit preserved - Capital protected - Re-enter when regime stabilizes --- ## ALERTS SETUP ### Available Alerts 1. **Bull Trending Regime** - Market goes bullish 2. **Bear Trending Regime** - Market goes bearish 3. **Chaos Regime** - High volatility, stay out 4. **Long Entry Signal** - Buy opportunity 5. **Short Entry Signal** - Sell opportunity 6. **Long Exit Signal** - Close long 7. **Short Exit Signal** - Close short ### How to Set Up 1.

Pair Creation🙏🏻 The one and only pair construction tech you need, unlike others: Applies one consistent operation to all the data features (not only prices). Then, the script outputs these, so you can apply other calculations on these outputs. calculates a very fast and native volatility based hedge ratio, that also takes into account point value (think SPY vs ES) so you can easily use it in position sizing Has built-in forward pricing aka cost of carry model , so you can de-drift pairs from cost of carry, discover spot price of oil based on futures, and ofc find arbitrage opportunities Also allows to make a pair as a product of 2 series, useful for triangular arbitrage This script can make a pair in 2 ways: Ratio, by dividing leg 1 by leg 2 Product, by multiplying leg 1 by leg 2 The real mathematically right way to construct a pair is a ratio/product (Spreads are in fact = 2 legged portfolio, but I ain't told ya that ok). Why? Because a pair of 2 entities has a mathematically unique beauty, it allows direct comparisons and relationship analysis, smth you can't do directly with 3 and more components. Multiplication (think inversions like (EURUSD -> USDEUR), and use cases for triangular arbitrage) is useful sometimes too. ... Quickguide: First, "Legs" are pair components: make a pair of related assets. Don’t be guided exclusively by clustering, cointegrations, mutual information etc. Common sense and exogenous info can easily made them all Forward pricing model: is useful when u work with spot vs futures pairs. Otherwise: put financing, storage and yield all on zeros, this way u will turn it off and have a pure ratio/product of 2 legs. Look at the 2 numbers on the script’s status line: the first one would always be 1), and the second one is a variable. First number (always 1) is multiplier for your position size on leg 1 The second number is the multiplier for your position size on leg 2 in the opposite direction. If both legs are related, trading your sizes with these multipliers makes you do statistical arbitrage -> trading ~ volatility in risk free mode, while the relationship between the assets is still in place. Also guys srsly, nobody ‘ever’ made a universal law that somewhy somehow for whatever secret conspiracy reason one shall only trade pairs in mean reverting style xd. You can do whatever you want: Tilt hedge ratio significantly based on relative strength of legs Trade the pair in momentum style Ignore hedge ratio all together And more and more, the limit is your imagination, e.g.: Anticipate hedge ratio changes based on exogenous info and act accordingly Scalp a pair just like any other asset Make a pair out of 2 pairs Like I mean it, whatever you desire About forward pricing model: It’s applied only to leg 2; Direct: takes spot price and finds out implied futures price Inverse: takes futures price and finds out implied spot price (try on oil) Pls read online how to choose parameters, it’s open access reliable info About the hedge ratio I use: You prolly noticed the way I prefer to use inferred volumes vs the “real” ones. In pairs it’s especially meaningful, because real volumes lose sense in pair creation. And while volumes are closely tied to volatility, the inferred volumes ‘Are’ volatility irl (and later can be converted to currency space by using point value, allowing direct comparisons symbol vs symbol). This hedge ratio is a good example of how discovering the real nature of entities beats making 100s of inventions, why domain knowledge and proper feature engineering beats difficult bulky models, neural networks etc. How simple data understanding & operations on it is all you need. This script simply does this: Takes inferred volume delta of both assets, makes a ratio, normalizes it by tick sizes and points values of both legs, calculates a typical value of this series. That’s it, no step 2, we’re done. No Kalman filters, no TLS regression, no vine copulas, or whatever new fancy keywords you can come up with etc. ... ^^ comparing real ES prices vs theoretical ones by forward-pricing model. Financing: 0.04, yield 0.0175 ^^ EURUSD, 6E futures with theoretical futures price calculated with interest rate differential 0.02 (4% USD - 2% EUR interest rates) ^^4 different pairs (RTY/ES, YM/ES, NQ/ES, ES/ZN) each with different plot style (pick one you like in script's Style settings) ^^ YM/RTY pair, each plot represents ratio of different features: ratio of prices, ratio of inferred volume deltas, ratio of inferred volumes, ratio of inferred tick counts (also can be turned on/off in Style settings) ... How can u upgrade it and make a step forward yourself: On tradingview missing values are automatically fixed by backfilling, and this never becomes a thing until you hit high frequency data. You can do better and use Kalman filter for filling missing values. Script contains the functions I use everywhere to calculate inferred volume delta, inferred volume, and inferred tick count. ... ∞

Quality Detector (Buffett Style) + Beta [Solid]This indicator acts as an on-chart fundamental screener, designed to instantly evaluate the quality and financial health of a company directly on your price chart. The concept is inspired by "Buffettology" principles: looking for large, profitable companies with low debt. Additionally, it includes a Beta calculation to assess market volatility risk. The tool displays a panel in the bottom-right corner featuring four key metrics and a final verdict. How it Works & Metrics Used The script retrieves quarterly fundamental data ("FQ") and performs calculations to verify if the asset meets specific criteria. 1. Market Cap (Size) What it is: The total market value of the company's outstanding shares. Goal: To identify established, large-cap companies. Default Threshold: Must be greater than $10 Billion. 2. ROE - Return on Equity (Quality) What it is: A measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. Goal: To find companies that are efficient at generating profits from shareholders' capital. Default Threshold: Must be higher than 15%. 3. Total Debt to Equity (Health) What it is: A ratio indicating the relative proportion of shareholders' equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. Calculation: This script manually calculates this ratio by fetching TOTAL_DEBT and dividing it by TOTAL_EQUITY from fundamental data to ensure robustness across different symbols. Goal: To ensure the company is not overly leveraged. Default Threshold: Must be lower than 1.5. 4. Beta (Risk/Volatility) What it is: A measure of a stock's volatility in relation to the overall market (S&P 500). Calculation: It is calculated by comparing the asset's returns against SPY (S&P 500 ETF) returns over a 252-day period (approx. 1 trading year). Goal: To understand if the stock is more volatile (Beta > 1) or less volatile (Beta < 1) than the market. Note: Beta does not affect the final "Quality" score but serves as an extra risk indicator, highlighting in orange if Beta > 1. The Verdict (Scoring System) The indicator assigns a score from 0 to 3 based on the first three fundamental metrics (Size, ROE, and Debt/Equity). If a metric passes the threshold, it gets a green background and +1 point. If it fails, it gets a red background. Final Verdict: 💎 QUALITY GEM: The company passed all 3 fundamental checks (Score = 3/3). ⚠️ DISCARD: The company failed one or more fundamental checks. Settings You can customize the thresholds to fit your own investment strategy in the indicator settings: Minimum Market Cap (in Billions). Minimum ROE (%). Maximum Debt/Equity Ratio. Disclaimer: This tool is for informational and educational purposes only. It relies on third-party fundamental data which may sometimes be delayed or unavailable. Do not base investment decisions solely on this indicator.

NHNL Breadth Scanner [BIG]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ NVENTURES NHNL BREADTH SYSTEM v2.0 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ OVERVIEW The NVentures NHNL Breadth System is an institutional-grade market breadth analysis framework designed for equity traders, portfolio managers, and market technicians who require comprehensive internal market structure visibility beyond price action alone. This system integrates New Highs - New Lows (NHNL) data across multiple exchanges with participation breadth metrics to identify market regime shifts, thrust conditions, divergences, and rotation dynamics between large-cap and small-cap equities. Version 2.0 introduces the Participation Breadth Module , which monitors the percentage of stocks above their 50-day moving averages across S&P 500, Russell 2000, and NASDAQ 100 indices. This extension enables detection of Risk-On/Risk-Off rotations and narrow rally conditions—critical information for portfolio construction, sector allocation, and tactical hedging decisions. The framework combines: - Multi-exchange NHNL aggregation – NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX breadth data integration - McClellan Oscillator – Exponential moving average difference for trend momentum - Thrust detection – Extreme breadth expansion/contraction identification - Divergence analysis – Price vs. breadth non-confirmation patterns - Participation breadth – Large-cap vs. small-cap rotation detection - Composite signal scoring – Multi-factor quantitative breadth assessment ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ CORE METHODOLOGY ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ • NHNL Data Aggregation The system retrieves daily New Highs and New Lows from three major U.S. exchanges: - NYSE – INDEX:HIGN (New Highs), INDEX:LOWN (New Lows) - NASDAQ – INDEX:HIGQ (New Highs), INDEX:LOWQ (New Lows) - AMEX – INDEX:HIGA (New Highs), INDEX:LOWA (New Lows) Users can toggle exchanges on/off to isolate specific market segments. All three exchanges are enabled by default for comprehensive market-wide breadth measurement. Core Calculations : - NHNL Raw = Total New Highs - Total New Lows - NHNL % = (NHNL Raw / Total Issues) × 100 - NH/NL Ratio = New Highs / New Lows These metrics quantify the internal strength or weakness of market advances/declines independent of price index levels. • McClellan Oscillator The McClellan Oscillator applies exponential moving average (EMA) logic to NHNL data: Formula: McClellan Osc = EMA(NHNL, Fast) - EMA(NHNL, Slow) Default parameters: Fast = 19, Slow = 39 Interpretation : - Positive values = Breadth momentum favors bulls (more issues making new highs) - Negative values = Breadth momentum favors bears (more issues making new lows) - Zero-line crosses = Regime change signals (bullish above, bearish below) - Extreme readings (>±100) = Overbought/oversold breadth conditions The McClellan Oscillator is a standard institutional breadth tool used by market technicians since the 1960s. It smooths daily NHNL volatility while maintaining responsiveness to trend changes. • Thrust Detection Thrust conditions identify extreme breadth expansion or contraction that historically precedes sustained directional moves: Bullish Thrust : - NHNL % > Threshold (default +40%) - Sustained for Confirmation Bars (default 2 bars) - Context : Extreme positive breadth expansion. Historically associated with major rally initiations or continuation thrusts. Bearish Thrust : - NHNL % < -Threshold (default -40%) - Sustained for Confirmation Bars (default 2 bars) - Context : Extreme negative breadth contraction. Historically associated with panic selling, capitulation events, or major downtrend acceleration. Thrust conditions are the highest-priority signals in the framework and override other conflicting indicators. • Divergence Detection The system identifies non-confirmation patterns between price action and breadth: Bullish Divergence : - Price makes lower low - NHNL % makes higher low - Context : Selling pressure exhausting despite lower prices. Potential reversal signal as fewer stocks participate in decline. Bearish Divergence : - Price makes higher high - NHNL % makes lower high - Context : Rally losing internal momentum despite higher prices. Potential reversal signal as fewer stocks participate in advance. Divergences use pivot detection with configurable lookback periods (default 50 bars) and pivot strength (default 5 bars). Visual divergence lines are drawn directly on the price chart when detected. • Participation Breadth Module (NEW in v2.0) This module monitors the percentage of stocks trading above their 50-day moving average across three major indices: - S&P 500 – INDEX:S5FI (Large-cap participation) - Russell 2000 – INDEX:R2FI (Small-cap participation) - NASDAQ 100 – INDEX:NDFI (Tech-cap participation) Rotation Spread Calculation : Rotation Spread = Russell 2000 % Above 50D - S&P 500 % Above 50D Interpretation : - Positive Spread (>+10%) = Risk-On Rotation Small caps outperforming large caps. Broad market participation. Risk appetite expanding. - Negative Spread (<-10%) = Risk-Off Rotation Large caps outperforming small caps. Narrow rally / defensive positioning. Flight to quality or concentration risk. - Neutral (-10% to +10%) = Balanced market, no clear rotation This spread identifies critical regime changes between broad market participation (healthy) and narrow leadership (fragile). Risk-On rotations typically occur during economic expansion phases; Risk-Off rotations occur during uncertainty, recession fears, or late-cycle conditions. • Composite Signal Score The framework generates a quantitative breadth score (-100 to +100) by weighting five components: 1. Thrust Score (±40 points) – Active thrust condition 2. Trend Score (±30 points) – McClellan Oscillator above/below zero 3. Momentum Score (±20 points) – NHNL % magnitude 4. Ratio Score (±10 points) – NH/NL Ratio extremes 5. Participation Score (±15 points) – Risk-On/Risk-Off regime + participation health The composite score is smoothed (EMA 5) and classified into five breadth states: - +50 to +100 = Strong Bull - +20 to +50 = Bullish - -20 to +20 = Neutral - -50 to -20 = Bearish - -100 to -50 = Strong Bear ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ SIGNAL HIERARCHY & PRIORITY ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The indicator generates multiple signal types with distinct priority levels: Priority 1: Thrust Signals (Highest conviction) - Green triangle below bar = Bullish Thrust (40%+ breadth expansion) - Red triangle above bar = Bearish Thrust (40%+ breadth contraction) - Chart background highlighted in green/red during active thrust Priority 2: Rotation Signals (Regime identification) - Cyan diamond below bar = Risk-On Rotation (small caps outperforming) - Orange diamond above bar = Risk-Off Rotation (large caps outperforming) - Chart background highlighted in cyan/orange during active rotation Priority 3: Divergence Signals (Reversal warnings) - Green label below bar = Bullish Divergence (price/breadth non-confirmation) - Red label above bar = Bearish Divergence (price/breadth non-confirmation) - Dashed lines connect divergence pivot points on price chart Priority 4: Zero-Line Cross (Trend changes) - Small circle below bar = McClellan crossing above zero (breadth turning positive) - Small circle above bar = McClellan crossing below zero (breadth turning negative) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ VISUAL COMPONENTS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ • Comprehensive Information Panel The top-right dashboard (position customizable) displays: Section 1: Raw NHNL Data - Total New Highs (green) - Total New Lows (red) - Exchange breakdown (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX) with individual deltas Section 2: Core Metrics - NHNL % with visual indicator (🔥 for thrusts, arrows for direction) - NH/NL Ratio with strength bars - McClellan Oscillator with directional arrows Section 3: Participation Breadth (NEW) - S&P 500 % above 50D MA with trend arrow - Russell 2000 % above 50D MA with trend arrow - NASDAQ 100 % above 50D MA with trend arrow - Rotation Spread with regime icon (🚀 Risk-On, 🛡️ Risk-Off) Section 4: Composite Assessment - Signal Score (-100 to +100) with visual strength bars - Market Status (large text): BULLISH THRUST, BEARISH THRUST, RISK-ON ROTATION, RISK-OFF ROTATION, or breadth state classification • Chart Overlays - Background color-coding for active regimes (thrust, rotation, extreme readings) - Signal markers (triangles, diamonds, circles, labels) at key inflection points - Divergence lines connecting pivot highs/lows on price chart ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ KEY FEATURES ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ - Multi-exchange breadth aggregation – NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX with individual on/off toggles - Institutional McClellan Oscillator – Standard market breadth momentum tool - Automated thrust detection – Identifies extreme breadth conditions with confirmation logic - Price-breadth divergence scanning – Non-confirmation pattern detection with visual lines - Participation breadth integration – Risk-On/Risk-Off rotation detection via large-cap vs. small-cap analysis - Composite signal scoring – Quantitative multi-factor breadth assessment - No repainting – All signals confirm on bar close - Comprehensive alerting – 12+ alert conditions for thrust, divergence, rotation, and confluence events - Fully customizable parameters – EMA periods, thresholds, lookbacks, visual settings - Professional dashboard – Real-time metrics with color-coded status indicators ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HOW TO USE ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 1. Apply to any chart – The indicator pulls multi-security data; chart symbol does not matter (commonly applied to SPY, SPX, or QQQ for reference) 2. Monitor the dashboard : • Focus on Market Status (bottom row) for current regime • Check NHNL % and McClellan for breadth direction and momentum • Watch Rotation Spread for large-cap vs. small-cap dynamics • Review Signal Score for composite breadth strength 3. Interpret thrust signals (highest priority): • Bullish Thrust → Major rally initiation or continuation likely. Consider adding long exposure or reducing hedges. • Bearish Thrust → Major decline or capitulation event likely. Consider reducing exposure or adding hedges. • Historical context: Thrust signals are rare (2-5 per year) but highly reliable for significant market moves. 4. Interpret rotation signals (regime identification): • Risk-On Rotation → Broad market participation. Small caps outperforming. Healthy advance. Favor cyclical sectors, higher beta names. • Risk-Off Rotation → Narrow rally or defensive positioning. Large caps outperforming. Caution—market leadership concentrating. Favor quality, defensives. 5. Interpret divergence signals (reversal warnings): • Bullish Divergence → Selling exhaustion. Potential bottom formation. Wait for confirmation (zero-line cross, thrust) before aggressive positioning. • Bearish Divergence → Rally losing momentum. Potential top formation. Consider profit-taking or hedging. 6. Combine signals for maximum conviction : • Bull Confluence : Bullish Thrust + Risk-On Rotation + Positive McClellan = Maximum bullish alignment • Bear Confluence : Bearish Thrust + Risk-Off Rotation + Negative McClellan = Maximum bearish alignment • Alert system specifically flags these high-conviction confluences 7. Configure parameters for your style : • Thrust Threshold : Default 40% catches major moves. Increase to 50%+ for extreme-only signals. • Rotation Threshold : Default 10% spread. Tighten to 7.5% for earlier rotation detection. • Divergence Lookback : Default 50 bars. Extend to 100+ for longer-term divergences. 8. Use alerts for proactive monitoring : • Set TradingView alerts for Thrust, Rotation, Divergence, and Confluence conditions • Receive notifications when critical breadth regime changes occur ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ LIMITATIONS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ - U.S. equity markets only – NHNL data limited to NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX. Does not cover international markets or other asset classes. - Daily timeframe only – NHNL data is reported daily. Intraday trading requires alternative breadth measures. - Lagging in fast reversals – McClellan Oscillator and participation metrics use EMAs, introducing lag during rapid regime shifts. Thrust signals respond faster but require extreme conditions. - Equal-weighting assumption – All stocks within NHNL counts are equally weighted. Large-cap-dominated rallies (e.g., FANG-led advances) may show strong price performance despite mediocre breadth. - False positives in sideways markets – Divergence signals can produce false positives during extended consolidation phases. Require confirmation from thrust or rotation signals. - Participation data quality – S5FI, R2FI, NDFI data from TradingView may have occasional gaps or delays. Indicator includes data validation logic and falls back gracefully when data unavailable. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ - Pine Script v5 - Non-repainting (signals confirmed on bar close) - Multi-security data feeds (6 NHNL tickers + 3 participation tickers) - Maximum 500 lines supported (divergence line drawing) - Real-time dashboard table with 20+ rows - 12+ alert conditions (thrust, divergence, rotation, ratio extremes, confluence) - Fully customizable colors, thresholds, and visual elements ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ NOTES ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This indicator is designed for experienced equity traders, portfolio managers, and market technicians familiar with: - Market breadth analysis and internal market structure - McClellan Oscillator interpretation - New High - New Low dynamics and their correlation with market cycles - Large-cap vs. small-cap rotation patterns - Risk-On/Risk-Off regime identification The framework provides objective breadth signals but does not account for: - Fundamental catalysts (earnings, economic data, Fed policy) - Sector-specific dynamics (may show broad weakness while certain sectors thrive) - International market correlations - Volatility regime changes (VIX dynamics) Best used in combination with: - Price action analysis (support/resistance, chart patterns) - Volume analysis (accumulation/distribution) - Volatility indicators (VIX, put/call ratios) - Sentiment indicators (survey data, positioning) Market breadth is a leading indicator of internal market health. Divergences between price and breadth often precede major reversals by weeks or months. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Developed for institutional market breadth analysis based on New Highs - New Lows methodology with extended participation breadth integration.

Majors FX-REER/NEER Suite [BIG]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ BIG MAJORS FX-REER/NEER SUITE ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ OVERVIEW The BIG Majors FX-REER/NEER Suite is a multi-currency valuation framework designed for institutional FX traders, macro strategists, and systematic currency allocators. This indicator calculates Real Effective Exchange Rates (REER) and Nominal Effective Exchange Rates (NEER) for the seven major currency pairs (G7 FX), integrating macroeconomic fundamentals (CPI inflation differentials) with technical trend analysis to identify structural currency misvaluations and mean-reversion opportunities. Unlike standard FX indicators that only analyze bilateral price action, this suite constructs trade-weighted basket indices that measure each currency's strength against a portfolio of its major trading partners, adjusted for inflation differentials. This approach mirrors central bank and sovereign wealth fund methodologies for assessing equilibrium exchange rate levels. The framework combines: - Fundamental valuation metrics – REER/NEER indices with Z-score normalization - Technical trend filters – Ichimoku Cloud and Aroon oscillator confluence - Signal classification system – Long/Short/Watch/Conflict regime identification - Quantitative confidence scoring – 0-100% signal reliability weighting ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ CORE METHODOLOGY ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ • NEER Calculation (Nominal Effective Exchange Rate) The NEER measures a currency's value against a trade-weighted basket of its seven major trading partners, geometrically averaged in log-space to ensure symmetry: 1. All seven G7 FX pairs are normalized to USD-pivot (A/USD format) 2. Each currency's log-normalized rate is compared to the arithmetic mean of the other six 3. Formula: NEER_i = (8/7) × log(CCY_i/USD) - mean(log(CCY_others/USD)) This construction ensures that: - A rising NEER indicates currency appreciation against the basket - The methodology is symmetric and avoids base-currency bias - Changes reflect multilateral competitive dynamics, not just bilateral moves • REER Calculation (Real Effective Exchange Rate) The REER adjusts the NEER for inflation differentials using Consumer Price Index (CPI) data: Formula: REER_i = NEER_i + log(CPI_i) - mean(log(CPI_others)) By incorporating CPI differentials, the REER provides a purchasing-power-parity-adjusted valuation metric that accounts for relative inflation rates. This is the institutional standard for assessing fundamental currency equilibrium levels. Data Sources : - FX rates: TradingView composite feed (FX:), OANDA, FXCM, FOREXCOM - CPI data: ECONOMICS namespace (monthly frequency, official statistical releases) - Supported currencies: USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD, NZD • Valuation Bias Detection Each currency pair is classified as overvalued (bias = -1, "Short") or undervalued (bias = +1, "Long") based on two independent criteria: 1. Percentage Band Deviation – Relative Index distance from 100 baseline • Overvalued: Index > 100 × (1 + deviation%), default +5% • Undervalued: Index < 100 × (1 - deviation%), default -5% 2. Z-Score Threshold – Statistical extremes in rolling lookback window • Overvalued: Z-Score > +1.5 (default) • Undervalued: Z-Score < -1.5 (default) Either condition triggers a bias classification. This dual-filter approach captures both absolute deviations and relative extremes within recent historical context. • Trend Confirmation (Ichimoku + Aroon) To avoid counter-trend entries in strong momentum regimes, the suite integrates two independent trend filters: Ichimoku Cloud - Bull: Price > Cloud AND Conversion > Base Line - Bear: Price < Cloud AND Conversion < Base Line - Parameters: Conv(9), Base(26), Span B(52), Displacement(26) Aroon Oscillator - Bull: Aroon Up > 70 AND Aroon Down < 30 - Bear: Aroon Down > 70 AND Aroon Up < 30 - Default lookback: 25 periods Trend is confirmed only when both indicators agree (Ichimoku + Aroon ≥ +1 for bull, ≤ -1 for bear). • Setup Classification Logic The framework combines Bias (fundamental valuation) with Trend (technical momentum) to generate four distinct setup types: - Long↗︎ (Setup = 1) – Undervalued + Bullish Trend Context : Mean reversion opportunity with momentum confirmation. Currency trading at fundamental discount while technical trend supports upside. - Short↘︎ (Setup = -1) – Overvalued + Bearish Trend Context : Mean reversion opportunity with momentum confirmation. Currency trading at fundamental premium while technical trend supports downside. - Watch (Setup = 2) – Valuation bias present, but no clear trend Context : Fundamental mispricing without directional conviction. Monitor for trend emergence before entering. - Conflict (Setup = 3) – Bias and trend pointing opposite directions Context : Overvalued currency in uptrend OR undervalued currency in downtrend. Avoid—either trend continuation or valuation mean reversion, but unclear which dominates. • Confidence Score (0-100%) Each setup receives a quantitative confidence weighting based on three factors: 1. Band Distance (40%) – How far the Relative Index deviates from 100 baseline 2. Z-Score Magnitude (40%) – Statistical extremeness within lookback window 3. Trend Confluence (20%) – Agreement between Ichimoku and Aroon signals Score interpretation: - 70-100% = High confidence (both valuation and trend extremes aligned) - 40-69% = Moderate confidence (one factor strong, others weak) - 0-39% = Low confidence (marginal signals, questionable reliability) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ VISUAL COMPONENTS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ • Dashboard Table (Top-Right) Displays real-time valuation metrics for all seven major pairs: Column 1: Pair – Currency pair identifier Column 2: RelIdx – Relative Index (100 = baseline at first valid bar) Column 3: Z – Z-Score vs. rolling lookback window Column 4: Bias – Long/Short/Neutral valuation classification Column 5: Trend – ↑/↓/– trend direction (Ichimoku + Aroon) Column 6: Setup – Long↗︎/Short↘︎/Watch/Conflict (color-coded) Column 7: Conf – Confidence score 0-100% (color-coded) Column 8: Quelle – REER (inflation-adjusted) or NEER (nominal only) Color coding : - Green = Long↗︎ setup - Red = Short↘︎ setup - Orange = Watch (no trend) - Purple = Conflict (bias/trend divergence) • Optional Chart Plot Select any of the seven pairs to plot its Relative Index on the chart with: - Baseline at 100 (horizontal gray line) - +Band at 100 × (1 + deviation%), dashed red - -Band at 100 × (1 - deviation%), dashed green - Aqua line tracking the selected pair's Relative Index evolution • Signal Labels When a pair transitions into Long↗︎ or Short↘︎ setup: - Green label below bar = Long↗︎ entry signal - Red label above bar = Short↘︎ entry signal - Positioned using ATR offset for visibility ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ KEY FEATURES ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ - Institutional valuation methodology – REER/NEER framework used by central banks and sovereign wealth funds - Macro-fundamental integration – CPI inflation differentials adjust for purchasing power parity - Multi-timeframe flexibility – Daily (D), Weekly (W), Monthly (M) resolution options - Seven simultaneous pairs – Monitors all G7 FX majors in single unified dashboard - No repainting – All signals confirm on bar close - Automated alerts – TradingView notifications when setups transition (Long/Short triggers) - Confidence weighting – Quantitative scoring allows position sizing calibration - Fallback logic – Automatically switches to NEER if CPI data incomplete ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HOW TO USE ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 1. Apply to any chart – The indicator pulls multi-security data; chart symbol does not matter (commonly applied to SPY or DXY for reference) 2. Select data feed – Default FX: (TradingView composite) is recommended; alternatives: OANDA, FXCM, FOREXCOM 3. Choose timeframe : • Daily (D) = Swing trading, medium-term mean reversion (2-8 week horizons) • Weekly (W) = Position trading, macro regime shifts (1-6 month horizons) • Monthly (M) = Strategic allocation, long-term equilibrium analysis (6-24 month horizons) 4. Configure parameters : • Z-Score Lookback : Default 252 (one trading year on Daily); adjust for timeframe (52 for Weekly, 36 for Monthly) • Deviation Band : Default ±5%; tighten to ±3% for more signals, widen to ±7% for higher conviction • Z-Threshold : Default ±1.5; increase to ±2.0 for extreme-only signals 5. Monitor dashboard table : • Focus on pairs showing Long↗︎ or Short↘︎ setups with Conf ≥ 70% • Watch for Watch setups transitioning to directional signals • Avoid Conflict setups unless you have strong macro conviction 6. Execute mean-reversion trades : • Long↗︎ = Buy undervalued currency (e.g., EURUSD Long if EUR undervalued) • Short↘︎ = Sell overvalued currency (e.g., USDJPY Short if JPY overvalued) • Target: Mean reversion toward 100 baseline or opposite band 7. Position sizing by confidence : • High confidence (70-100%) → Standard position size • Moderate confidence (40-69%) → Reduce size by 50% • Low confidence (<40%) → Avoid or use minimal pilot size 8. Risk management : • Stop loss: Place beyond recent swing high/low or 1.5× ATR • Take profit: Opposite valuation band or 100 baseline • Time stop: Exit if setup reverses (Long→Neutral→Short or vice versa) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ LIMITATIONS ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ - CPI data lag – Consumer Price Index releases are monthly and report with 2-4 week delay. REER calculations may lag real-time inflation dynamics. - Structural shifts ignored – The baseline (100) is set at first valid bar. Long-term structural appreciation/depreciation (e.g., 20-year USD bull market) is not accounted for. Suitable for cyclical mean reversion, not secular trend analysis. - Equal-weighting assumption – All seven currencies are equally weighted in basket construction. Actual trade-weighted indices use GDP or trade volume weights, which this framework simplifies. - No emerging market currencies – Limited to G7 majors (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD, NZD).
