Frozen Bias Zones – Sentiment Lock-insOverview
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator visualizes market sentiment lock-ins using a combination of RSI, MACD, and OBV. It creates "bias zones" that indicate whether the market is in a sustained bullish or bearish phase. These zones are then highlighted on the chart, helping traders spot when the market is locked in a bias. The script also detects breakout events from these zones and marks them with clear labels for easier decision-making.
Features
Multi-Indicator Sentiment Analysis: Combines RSI, MACD, and OBV to detect synchronized bullish or bearish sentiment.
Frozen Bias Zones: Identifies and visually represents zones where the market has remained in a particular sentiment (bullish or bearish) for a defined period.
Breakout Alerts: Displays labels to indicate when the price breaks out of the established bias zone.
Customizable Inputs: Adjust the zone duration, RSI, MACD, and breakout label visibility.
Input Parameters

MACD Settings
MACD Fast (macdFast): The fast-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 12.
MACD Slow (macdSlow): The slow-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 26.
MACD Signal (macdSig): The signal line period for MACD.
Default: 9.
Show Break Label (showBreakLabel)
Toggle to show labels when the price breaks out of the bias zone.
Default: True (shows label).
Bias Zone Colors
Bullish Bias Color (bullColor): The color for bullish zones (light green).
Bearish Bias Color (bearColor): The color for bearish zones (light red).
How It Works
This indicator analyzes three key market metrics to determine whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI > 50 indicates a bullish phase, while RSI < 50 indicates a bearish phase.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Measures the relationship between two moving averages of the price. A positive MACD histogram indicates bullish momentum, while a negative histogram indicates bearish momentum.
OBV (On-Balance Volume)
Uses volume flow to determine if a trend is likely to continue. A rising OBV indicates bullish accumulation, while a falling OBV indicates bearish distribution.
Bias Zone Detection
The market sentiment is considered bullish if all three indicators (RSI, MACD, and OBV) are bullish, and bearish if all three indicators are bearish.
Bullish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bullish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
Bearish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bearish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
These bias zones are visually represented on the chart as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Breakout Detection
The script automatically detects when the market exits a bias zone. If the price moves outside the bounds of the established zone (either up or down), the script will display one of the following labels:
Bias Break (Up): Indicates that the price has broken upwards out of the zone (with a green label).
Bias Break (Down): Indicates that the price has broken downwards out of the zone (with a red label).
These labels help traders easily identify potential breakout points.
Example Use Case
Bullish Market Conditions: If the RSI is above 50, the MACD histogram is positive, and OBV is increasing, the script will highlight a green bias zone. Traders can watch for potential bullish breakouts or trend continuation after the zone ends.
Bearish Market Conditions: If the RSI is below 50, the MACD histogram is negative, and OBV is decreasing, the script will highlight a red bias zone. Traders can look for potential bearish breakouts when the zone ends.
Conclusion
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to visualize prolonged market sentiment, whether bullish or bearish. By combining RSI, MACD, and OBV, it helps traders spot when the market is "locked in" to a bias. The breakout labels make it easier to take action when the price moves outside of the established zone, potentially signaling the start of a new trend.

Correlation Heatmap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates a correlation matrix for a user-specified list of symbols based on their time-aligned weekly or monthly price returns. It calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient for each possible symbol pair, and it displays the results in a symmetric table with heatmap-colored cells. This format provides an intuitive view of the linear relationships between various symbols' price movements over a specific time range.
█ CONCEPTS
Correlation
Correlation typically refers to an observable statistical relationship between two datasets. In a financial time series context, it usually represents the extent to which sampled values from a pair of datasets, such as two series of price returns, vary jointly over time. More specifically, in this context, correlation describes the strength and direction of the relationship between the samples from both series.
If two separate time series tend to rise and fall together proportionally, they might be highly correlated. Likewise, if the series often vary in opposite directions, they might have a strong anticorrelation . If the two series do not exhibit a clear relationship, they might be uncorrelated .
Traders frequently analyze asset correlations to help optimize portfolios, assess market behaviors, identify potential risks, and support trading decisions. For instance, correlation often plays a key role in diversification . When two instruments exhibit a strong correlation in their returns, it might indicate that buying or selling both carries elevated unsystematic risk . Therefore, traders often aim to create balanced portfolios of relatively uncorrelated or anticorrelated assets to help promote investment diversity and potentially offset some of the risks.
When using correlation analysis to support investment decisions, it is crucial to understand the following caveats:
• Correlation does not imply causation . Two assets might vary jointly over an analyzed range, resulting in high correlation or anticorrelation in their returns, but that does not indicate that either instrument directly influences the other. Joint variability between assets might occur because of shared sensitivities to external factors, such as interest rates or global sentiment, or it might be entirely coincidental. In other words, correlation does not provide sufficient information to identify cause-and-effect relationships.
• Correlation does not predict the future relationship between two assets. It only reflects the estimated strength and direction of the relationship between the current analyzed samples. Financial time series are ever-changing. A strong trend between two assets can weaken or reverse in the future.
Correlation coefficient
A correlation coefficient is a numeric measure of correlation. Several coefficients exist, each quantifying different types of relationships between two datasets. The most common and widely known measure is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient , also known as the Pearson correlation coefficient or Pearson's r . Usually, when the term "correlation coefficient" is used without context, it refers to this correlation measure.
The Pearson correlation coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. In other words, it indicates how consistently variables' values move together or in opposite directions in a proportional, linear manner. Its formula is as follows:
𝑟(𝑥, 𝑦) = cov(𝑥, 𝑦) / (𝜎𝑥 * 𝜎𝑦)
Where:
• 𝑥 is the first variable, and 𝑦 is the second variable.
• cov(𝑥, 𝑦) is the covariance between 𝑥 and 𝑦.
• 𝜎𝑥 is the standard deviation of 𝑥.
• 𝜎𝑦 is the standard deviation of 𝑦.
In essence, the correlation coefficient measures the covariance between two variables, normalized by the product of their standard deviations. The coefficient's value ranges from -1 to 1, allowing a more straightforward interpretation of the relationship between two datasets than what covariance alone provides:
• A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation over the analyzed sample. As one variable's value changes, the other variable's value changes proportionally in the same direction .
• A value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation (anticorrelation). As one variable's value increases, the other variable's value decreases proportionally.
• A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables over the analyzed sample.
Aligning returns across instruments
In a financial time series, each data point (i.e., bar) in a sample represents information collected in periodic intervals. For instance, on a "1D" chart, bars form at specific times as successive days elapse.
However, the times of the data points for a symbol's standard dataset depend on its active sessions , and sessions vary across instrument types. For example, the daily session for NYSE stocks is 09:30 - 16:00 UTC-4/-5 on weekdays, Forex instruments have 24-hour sessions that span from 17:00 UTC-4/-5 on one weekday to 17:00 on the next, and new daily sessions for cryptocurrencies start at 00:00 UTC every day because crypto markets are consistently open.
Therefore, comparing the standard datasets for different asset types to identify correlations presents a challenge. If two symbols' datasets have bars that form at unaligned times, their correlation coefficient does not accurately describe their relationship. When calculating correlations between the returns for two assets, both datasets must maintain consistent time alignment in their values and cover identical ranges for meaningful results.
To address the issue of time alignment across instruments, this indicator requests confirmed weekly or monthly data from spread tickers constructed from the chart's ticker and another specified ticker. The datasets for spreads are derived from lower-timeframe data to ensure the values from all symbols come from aligned points in time, allowing a fair comparison between different instrument types. Additionally, each spread ticker ID includes necessary modifiers, such as extended hours and adjustments.
In this indicator, we use the following process to retrieve time-aligned returns for correlation calculations:
1. Request the current and previous prices from a spread representing the sum of the chart symbol and another symbol ( "chartSymbol + anotherSymbol" ).
2. Request the prices from another spread representing the difference between the two symbols ( "chartSymbol - anotherSymbol" ).
3. Calculate half of the difference between the values from both spreads ( 0.5 * (requestedSum - requestedDifference) ). The results represent the symbol's prices at times aligned with the sample points on the current chart.
4. Calculate the arithmetic return of the retrieved prices: (currentPrice - previousPrice) / previousPrice
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each symbol requiring analysis.
It's crucial to note that because this process retrieves prices for a symbol at times consistent with periodic points on the current chart, the values can represent prices from before or after the closing time of the symbol's usual session.
Additionally, note that the maximum number of weeks or months in the correlation calculations depends on the chart's range and the largest time range common to all the requested symbols. To maximize the amount of data available for the calculations, we recommend setting the chart to use a daily or higher timeframe and specifying a chart symbol that covers a sufficient time range for your needs.
█ FEATURES
This indicator analyzes the correlations between several pairs of user-specified symbols to provide a structured, intuitive view of the relationships in their returns. Below are the indicator's key features:
Requesting a list of securities
The "Symbol list" text box in the indicator's "Settings/Inputs" tab accepts a comma-separated list of symbols or ticker identifiers with optional spaces (e.g., "XOM, MSFT, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD"). The indicator dynamically requests returns for each symbol in the list, then calculates the correlation between each pair of return series for its heatmap display.
Each item in the list must represent a valid symbol or ticker ID. If the list includes an invalid symbol, the script raises a runtime error.
To specify a broker/exchange for a symbol, include its name as a prefix with a colon in the "EXCHANGE:SYMBOL" format. If a symbol in the list does not specify an exchange prefix, the indicator selects the most commonly used exchange when requesting the data.
Note that the number of symbols allowed in the list depends on the user's plan. Users with non-professional plans can compare up to 20 symbols with this indicator, and users with professional plans can compare up to 32 symbols.
Timeframe and data length selection
The "Returns timeframe" input specifies whether the indicator uses weekly or monthly returns in its calculations. By default, its value is "1M", meaning the indicator analyzes monthly returns. Note that this script requires a chart timeframe lower than or equal to "1M". If the chart uses a higher timeframe, it causes a runtime error.
To customize the length of the data used in the correlation calculations, use the "Max periods" input. When enabled, the indicator limits the calculation window to the number of periods specified in the input field. Otherwise, it uses the chart's time range as the limit. The top-left corner of the table shows the number of confirmed weeks or months used in the calculations.
It's important to note that the number of confirmed periods in the correlation calculations is limited to the largest time range common to all the requested datasets, because a meaningful correlation matrix requires analyzing each symbol's returns under the same market conditions. Therefore, the correlation matrix can show different results for the same symbol pair if another listed symbol restricts the aligned data to a shorter time range.
Heatmap display
This indicator displays the correlations for each symbol pair in a heatmap-styled table representing a symmetric correlation matrix. Each row and column corresponds to a specific symbol, and the cells at their intersections correspond to symbol pairs . For example, the cell at the "AAPL" row and "MSFT" column shows the weekly or monthly correlation between those two symbols' returns. Likewise, the cell at the "MSFT" row and "AAPL" column shows the same value.
Note that the main diagonal cells in the display, where the row and column refer to the same symbol, all show a value of 1 because any series of non-na data is always perfectly correlated with itself.
The background of each correlation cell uses a gradient color based on the correlation value. By default, the gradient uses blue hues for positive correlation, orange hues for negative correlation, and white for no correlation. The intensity of each blue or orange hue corresponds to the strength of the measured correlation or anticorrelation. Users can customize the gradient's base colors using the inputs in the "Color gradient" section of the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
• This script uses the `getArrayFromString()` function from our ValueAtTime library to process the input list of symbols. The function splits the "string" value by its commas, then constructs an array of non-empty strings without leading or trailing whitespaces. Additionally, it uses the str.upper() function to convert each symbol's characters to uppercase.
• The script's `getAlignedReturns()` function requests time-aligned prices with two request.security() calls that use spread tickers based on the chart's symbol and another symbol. Then, it calculates the arithmetic return using the `changePercent()` function from the ta library. The `collectReturns()` function uses `getAlignedReturns()` within a loop and stores the data from each call within a matrix . The script calls the `arrayCorrelation()` function on pairs of rows from the returned matrix to calculate the correlation values.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedReturns()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences.
• A Pine script can execute up to 40 or 64 unique `request.*()` function calls, depending on the user's plan. The maximum number of symbols this script compares is half the plan's limit, because `getAlignedReturns()` uses two request.security() calls.
• This script can use the request.security() function within a loop because all scripts in Pine v6 enable dynamic requests by default. Refer to the Dynamic requests section of the Other timeframes and data page to learn more about this feature, and see our v6 migration guide to learn what's new in Pine v6.
• The script's table uses two distinct color.from_gradient() calls in a switch structure to determine the cell colors for positive and negative correlation values. One call calculates the color for values from -1 to 0 based on the first and second input colors, and the other calculates the colors for values from 0 to 1 based on the second and third input colors.

Moving Average Convergence DivergenceThis script is written in Pine Script (version 6) for TradingView and implements the **Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)** indicator. The MACD is a popular momentum oscillator used to identify trend direction, strength, and potential reversals. This version includes customizable inputs, visual enhancements (like crossover markers), and alerts for key events. Below is a detailed explanation of the script:
---
### **1. Purpose**
- The script calculates and displays the MACD line, signal line, and histogram.
- It highlights key events such as MACD/signal line crossovers and zero-line crosses with shapes and colors.
- It provides alerts for changes in the histogram's direction (rising to falling or vice versa).
---
### **2. User Inputs**
- **Fast Length**: Period for the fast moving average (default: 12).
- **Slow Length**: Period for the slow moving average (default: 26).

- **Signal Line MA Type**: Type of moving average for the signal line (options: SMA or EMA, default: EMA).
---
### **3. MACD Calculation**
The MACD is calculated in three parts:
1. **MACD Line**: Difference between the fast and slow moving averages.
- Fast MA: Either SMA or EMA of the source over `fast_length`.
- Slow MA: Either SMA or EMA of the source over `slow_length`.
- Formula: `macd = fast_ma - slow_ma`.
2. **Signal Line**: A moving average (SMA or EMA) of the MACD line over `signal_length`.
- Formula: `signal = sma_signal == "SMA" ? ta.sma(macd, signal_length) : ta.ema(macd, signal_length)`.
3. **Histogram**: Difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
- Formula: `hist = macd - signal`.
---
### **4. Key Events Detection**
#### **MACD/Signal Line Crossovers**
- **Bullish Cross**: MACD crosses above the signal line (`ta.crossover(macd, signal)`).
- **Bearish Cross**: MACD crosses below the signal line (`ta.crossunder(macd, signal)`).
#### **Zero Line Crosses**
- **Cross Above Zero**: MACD crosses above 0 (`ta.crossover(macd, 0)`).
- **Cross Below Zero**: MACD crosses below 0 (`ta.crossunder(macd, 0)`).
---
### **5. Colors**
- **MACD Line**: Green (#089981) if MACD > signal (bullish), red (#f23645) if MACD < signal (bearish).
- **Signal Line**: White (`color.white`).
- **Histogram**:
- Positive (MACD > signal): Light green (#B2DFDB) if decreasing, darker green (#26A69A) if increasing.
- Negative (MACD < signal): Light red (#FFCDD2) if increasing in magnitude, darker red (#FF5252) if decreasing in magnitude.

- Message: "MACD histogram switched from rising to falling".
- **Falling to Rising**: Triggers when the histogram switches from negative (or zero) to positive.
- Condition: `hist <= 0 and hist > 0`.
- Message: "MACD histogram switched from falling to rising".
---
### **8. How It Works**
1. **Trend Direction**:
- MACD above signal line (green) suggests bullish momentum.
- MACD below signal line (red) suggests bearish momentum.
2. **Momentum Strength**:
- Histogram height shows the strength of the momentum (larger bars = stronger momentum).
- Histogram color changes indicate whether momentum is increasing or decreasing.
3. **Reversal Signals**:
- Crossovers between MACD and signal lines often signal potential trend changes.
- Zero-line crosses indicate shifts between bullish (above 0) and bearish (below 0) territory.
---
### **9. How to Use**
1. Add the script to TradingView.
2. Adjust inputs (e.g., fast/slow lengths, MA types) to suit your trading style.
3. Monitor the chart:

This script is ideal for traders who want a multi-indicator dashboard to monitor price action and market conditions efficiently.
TimeMapTimeMap is a visual price-reference indicator designed to help traders rapidly visualize how current price levels relate to significant historical closing prices. It overlays your chart with reference lines representing past weekly, monthly, quarterly (3-month), semi-annual (6-month), and annual closing prices. By clearly plotting these historical price references, TimeMap helps traders quickly gauge price position relative to historical market structure, aiding in the identification of trends, support/resistance levels, and potential reversals.
How it Works:
The indicator calculates the precise number of historical bars corresponding to weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual intervals, dynamically adjusting according to your chart’s timeframe (intraday, daily, weekly, monthly) and chosen market type (Stocks US, Crypto, Forex, or Futures). Historical closing prices from these periods are plotted directly on your chart as horizontal reference lines.
For intraday traders, the script accurately calculates historical offsets considering regular and extended trading sessions (e.g., pre-market and after-hours sessions for US stocks), ensuring correct positioning of historical lines.
User-Configurable Inputs Explained in Detail:
Market Type:
Allows you to specify your trading instrument type, automatically adjusting calculations for:
- Stocks US (default): 390 minutes per regular session (780 minutes if extended hours enabled), 5 trading days/week.
- Crypto: 1440 minutes/day, 7 trading days/week.
- Forex: 1440 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
- Futures: 1320 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
Show Weekly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one week ago. Provides short-term context and helps identify recent price momentum.
Show Monthly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one month ago. Helpful for evaluating medium-term price positioning and monthly trend strength.
Show 3-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from three months ago. Useful for assessing quarterly market shifts, intermediate trend changes, and broader market sentiment.
Show 6-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from six months ago. Useful for identifying semi-annual trends, significant price pivots, and longer-term support/resistance levels.
Show 1-Year Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one year ago. Excellent for assessing long-term market direction and key annual price levels.
Enable Smoothing:
Activates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing of historical reference lines, reducing volatility and providing clearer visual references. Recommended for traders preferring less volatile reference levels.
Smoothing Length:
Determines the number of bars used in calculating the SMA smoothing of historical lines. Higher values result in smoother but slightly delayed reference lines; lower values offer more immediate yet more volatile levels.

ZenAlgo - LevelsThis script combines multiple anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculations into a single tool, providing a continuous record of past VWAP levels and highlighting when price has tested them. Typically, VWAP indicators show only the current VWAP for a single anchor period, requiring you to either keep re-anchoring manually or juggle multiple instances of different VWAP tools for each timeframe. By contrast, this script automatically tracks both the ongoing VWAP and previously completed VWAP values, along with real-time detection of “tests” (when price crosses a particular VWAP level). It’s especially valuable for traders who want to see how price has interacted with VWAP over several sessions, weeks, or months—without switching between separate indicators or manually setting anchors.
Below is a comprehensive explanation of each component, why multiple VWAP lines working together can be more informative than a single line, and how to adjust the script for various markets and trading styles:
Primary VWAP vs. Historical VWAP Lines - Standard VWAP indicators typically focus on the current line only. This script also calculates a primary VWAP, but it “locks in” each completed VWAP value when a new time anchor is detected (e.g., new weekly bar, new monthly bar, new session). As a result, you retain an ongoing history of VWAP lines for every completed anchored period. This is more powerful than manually setting up multiple VWAP tools—one for each desired timeframe—because everything is handled in a single script. You avoid chart clutter and the risk of forgetting to reset your manual VWAP at the correct bar.
Why Combine Multiple Anchored VWAP Lines in One Script? - Viewing several anchored VWAP lines together offers synergy . You see not only the current VWAP but also previous ones from different sessions or months, all within the same chart pane. This synergy becomes apparent if multiple historical VWAP lines cluster near the same price level, indicating a potentially significant zone of volume-based support or resistance. Handling this manually would involve repeatedly setting separate VWAP indicators, each reset at specific points, which is time-consuming and prone to error. In this script, the process is automated: as soon as the anchor changes, a completed VWAP line is stored so you can observe how price eventually reacts to it, repeatedly or not at all.
Automated “Test” Detection - Once a historical VWAP line is set, the script tracks when price crosses it in subsequent bars. If the high and low of a bar span that line, the script marks it in red (both the line and its label). It also keeps a counter of how many times each line has been tested. This method goes beyond a simple visual approach by quantifying the retests. Because all these lines are created and managed in one place, you don’t have to manually label the lines or check them one by one.
Advantages Over Manually Setting Multiple VWAPs
You save screen space: Instead of layering several VWAP indicators, each with unique settings, this single script plots them all on one overlay.
Automation: When a new anchor period begins, the script “closes out” the old VWAP and starts a new one. You never need to remember to reset it manually.
Retest Visualization: The script not only draws each line but also changes color and updates the label automatically if a line gets tested. Doing this by hand would be labor-intensive.
Unified Parameters: All settings (e.g., array size, max distance, test count limit) apply uniformly. You can manage them from one place, instead of configuring multiple separate tools.
Extended Insight with Multiple VWAP Lines
Since VWAP reflects the volume-weighted average price for each chosen period, historical lines can show zones where the market had a fair-value consensus in previous intervals. When the script preserves these lines, you see potential support/resistance areas more distinctly. If, for instance, price continually pivots around an old VWAP line, that may reveal a strong volume-based level. With several older VWAP lines on the chart, you gain an immediate sense of where these volume-derived averages have appeared and how price reacted over time. This wider perspective often proves more revealing than a single “current” VWAP line that does not reflect previous anchor sessions.
Handling of Illiquid Markets and Volume Limitations
VWAP is inherently tied to volume data, so its reliability decreases if volume reporting is missing or if the asset trades with very low liquidity. In such cases, a single large trade might momentarily skew the VWAP, resulting in “false” test signals when the high/low range intersects an abnormal price swing. If you suspect the data is incomplete or the market is unusually thin, it’s wise to confirm the validity of these VWAP lines before using them for any decision-making. Additionally, unusual market conditions—like after-hours trading or sudden high-volatility events—may cause VWAP to shift quickly, setting up multiple lines in a short time.
Key User-Configurable Settings
Hide VWAP on Day timeframe and above : Lets you disable the primary VWAP plot on daily or higher timeframes for a cleaner view.
Anchor Period : Select from Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade or Century. Controls how frequently the script resets and preserves the VWAP line.
Offset : Moves the current VWAP line by a specified number of bars if you need a shifted perspective.
Max Array Size : Caps how many past VWAP lines the script will remember. Prevents clutter if you’re charting very long histories.
Max Distance : Defines how far back (in bar index units) a line is kept. If a line’s start bar is older than this threshold, it’s removed, keeping the chart uncluttered.
Max Red Labels : Limits the number of tested (red) VWAP lines that appear. If price tests a large number of old lines, only the newest red labels remain once you hit the set limit.
Workflow Overview
As soon as a new anchor period begins (e.g., a new weekly candle if “Week” is chosen), the script ends the current VWAP and stores that final value in its internal arrays.
It creates a dotted line and label representing the completed VWAP, and keeps track of whether it has been tested or not.
Subsequent bars may then cross that line. If a bar’s high/low includes the line’s value, it’s flagged as tested, labeled red, and a test counter increases.
As new anchored periods come, old lines remain visible—unless they fall outside your maxDistance or you exceed the maximum stored line count.
Real-World Benefits
Combining multiple VWAP lines—ranging, for example, from session-based lines for intraday perspectives to monthly or quarterly lines for broader context—provides a layered view of the volume-based fair price. This can help you quickly spot zones where price repeatedly intersects old VWAPs, potentially highlighting where bulls or bears took action historically. Because this script automates the management of all these lines and flags their retests, it removes a great deal of repetitive manual work that would typically accompany multiple, separate VWAP indicators set to different anchors.
Limitations & Practical Use
As with any volume-related tool, the script depends on reliable volume data. Assets trading on smaller venues or during illiquid periods may produce spurious signals. The script does not signal buy or sell decisions; rather, it helps visually map out where volume-weighted averages from previous periods might still be relevant to market behavior. Always combine the insight from these historical VWAP lines with your existing analytical approach or other technical and fundamental tools you use.
Conclusion
This script unifies past and present VWAP lines into one overlay, automatically detecting new anchor resets, storing the final VWAP values, and indicating whenever old lines are retested by price. It offers synergy through the simultaneous display of multiple historical VWAP lines, making it quicker and easier to detect potential support/resistance zones and better reflect changing market volumes over time. You no longer need to manually create, configure, or reset multiple VWAP indicators. Instead, the script handles all aspects of line creation, retest detection, and clutter management, giving you a robust framework to observe how historical VWAP data aligns with current price action.
By understanding the significance of multiple anchored VWAP lines, you can assess market structure from multiple angles in a single view. As always, ensure you confirm the reliability of the volume data for your particular asset and use these lines in conjunction with other analyses to form a well-rounded perspective on current market behavior.
EMA Alignment & Spread Monitor (Sang Youn)Overview
The EMA Alignment & Spread Monitor is a dynamic trading script designed to monitor EMA (Exponential Moving Average) alignments, track spread deviations, and provide real-time alerts when significant conditions are met. This script allows traders to customize their EMA periods, analyze market trends based on EMA positioning, and receive visual and audio alerts when key spread conditions occur.
🔹 Key Features
✅ Customizable EMA Periods – Users can input their own EMA lengths to adapt the script to various market conditions. (Default: 5, 10, 20, 60, 120)
✅ EMA Alignment Detection – Identifies bullish alignment (all EMAs in ascending order) and bearish alignment (all EMAs in descending order).
✅ Spread Calculation & Monitoring – Computes the spread difference between each EMA and tracks the average spread over a user-defined period.
✅ Deviation Alerts – Notifies traders when:
Bullish Trend: The spread exceeds its average, indicating a potential strong uptrend.
Bearish Trend: The spread falls below its average, signaling a possible downtrend.
✅ Chart Annotations – Displays 📈 (green triangle) when bullish spread exceeds average and 📉 (red triangle) when bearish spread drops below average for easy visualization.
✅ Real-time Alerts – Sends alerts when spread conditions are met, helping traders react to market shifts efficiently.

🔹 How It Works
1️⃣ Set your EMA periods in the script settings (default: 5, 10, 20, 60, 120).
2️⃣ Define the spread average calculation length (default: 50 candles).
3️⃣ The script tracks EMA alignment to determine bullish or bearish trends.
4️⃣ If the spread deviates significantly from its average, the script:
Places a 📈 green triangle above candles in a bullish trend when spread > average.
Places a 📉 red triangle below candles in a bearish trend when spread < average.
Triggers an alert for timely decision-making.
5️⃣ Use the histogram & real-time alerts to stay ahead of market movements.
SW monthly Gann Days**Script Description:**
The script you are looking at is based on the work of W.D. Gann, a famous trader and market analyst in the early 20th century, known for his use of geometry, astrology, and numerology in market analysis. Gann believed that certain days in the market had significant importance, and he observed that markets often exhibited significant price moves around specific dates. These dates were typically associated with cyclical patterns in price movements, and Gann referred to these as "Gann Days."
In this script, we have focused on highlighting certain days of the month that Gann believed to have an influence on market behavior. The specific days in question are the **6th to 7th**, **9th to 10th**, **14th to 15th**, **19th to 20th**, **23rd to 24th**, and **29th to 31st** of each month. These ranges are based on Gann’s theory that there are recurring time cycles in the market that cause turning points or critical price movements to occur around certain days of the month.
### **Why Gann Used These Days:**
1. **Mathematical and Astrological Cycles:**
Gann believed that markets were influenced by natural cycles, and that certain dates (or combinations of dates) played a critical role in the price movements. These specific days are part of his broader theory of "time cycles" where the market would often change direction, reverse, or exhibit significant volatility on particular days. Gann's research was based on both mathematical principles and astrological observations, leading him to assign importance to these days.
2. **Gann's Universal Timing Theory:**
According to Gann, financial markets operate in a universe governed by geometric and astrological principles. These cycles repeat themselves over time, and specific days in a given month correspond to key turning points within these repeating cycles. Gann found that the 6th to 7th, 9th to 10th, 14th to 15th, 19th to 20th, 23rd to 24th, and 29th to 31st often marked significant changes in the market, making them particularly important for traders to watch.
3. **Market Psychology and Sentiment:**
These specific days likely correspond to key moments where market participants tend to react in predictable ways, influenced by past market behavior on similar dates. For example, news events or scheduled economic reports might fall within these time windows, causing the market to respond in a particular way. Gann's method involves using these cyclical patterns to predict turning points in market prices, enabling traders to anticipate when the market might make a reversal or face a significant shift in direction.
4. **Turning Points:**
Gann believed that markets often reversed or encountered critical points around specific dates. This is why he considered certain days more important than others. By identifying and focusing on these days, traders can better anticipate the market’s movement and make more informed trading decisions.
5. **Numerology:**
Gann also utilized numerology in his trading system, believing that numbers, and particularly certain key numbers, had significance in predicting market movements. The days selected in this script may correspond to numerological patterns that Gann identified in his analysis of the markets, such as recurring numbers in his astrological and geometric systems.
### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script highlights these "Gann Days" within a trading chart for 2024 and 2025. The color-coding or background highlighting is intended to draw attention to these dates, so traders can observe the potential for significant market movements during these times. By identifying these specific dates, traders following Gann's theories may gain insights into possible turning points, corrections, or key price movements based on the market's historical behavior around these days.
Overall, Gann’s use of specific days was based on his deep belief in the cyclical nature of the market and his attempt to tie those cycles to the natural laws of time, geometry, and astrology. By focusing on these dates, Gann aimed to give traders an edge in predicting significant market events and price shifts.
Uptrick: Arbitrage OpportunityINTRODUCTION
This script, titled Uptrick: Arbitrage Monitor, is a Pine Script™ indicator that aims to help traders quickly visualize potential arbitrage scenarios across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges. Arbitrage, in general, involves taking advantage of price differences for the same asset across different trading platforms. By comparing market prices of the same symbol on two user-selected exchanges, as well as scanning a broader list of exchanges, this script attempts to signal areas where you might want to buy on one exchange and sell on another. It includes various graphical tools, calculations, and an optional Automated Detection signal feature, allowing users to incorporate more advanced data scanning into their trading decisions. Keep in mind that transaction fees must also be considered in real-world scenarios. These fees can negate potential profits and, in some cases, result in a net loss.
PURPOSE
The primary purpose of this indicator is to show potential percentage differences between the same cryptocurrency trading pairs on two different exchanges. This difference is displayed numerically, visually as a line chart, and it is also tested against user-defined thresholds. With the threshold in place, buy and sell signals can be generated. The script allows you to quickly gauge how significant a spread is between two exchanges and whether that spread surpasses a specified threshold. This is particularly useful for arbitrage trading, where an asset is bought at a lower price on one exchange and sold at a higher price on another, capitalizing on price discrepancies. By identifying these opportunities, traders can potentially secure profits across different markets.
WHY IT WAS MADE
This script was developed to help traders who frequently look for arbitrage opportunities in the fast-paced cryptocurrency market. Cryptocurrencies sometimes experience quick price divergences across different exchanges. By having an automated approach that compares and displays prices, traders can spend less time manually tracking price discrepancies and more time focusing on actual trading strategies. The script was also made with user customization in mind, allowing you to toggle an optional Automated-based approach and choose different moving average methods to smooth out the displayed price difference.
WHAT ARBITRAGE IS
Arbitrage is the practice of buying an asset on one market (or exchange) at a lower price and simultaneously selling it on another market where the price is higher, thus profiting from the price difference. In cryptocurrency markets, these price differentials can occur across multiple exchanges due to varying liquidity, trading volume, geographic factors, or market inefficiencies. Though sometimes small, these differences can be exploited for profit when approached methodically.
EXPLANATION OF INPUTS
The script includes a variety of user inputs that help tailor the indicator to your specific needs:
1. Compared Symbol 1: This is the primary symbol you want to track (for example, BTCUSDT). Make sure it's written in all capital and make sure that it's price from that exchange is available on Tradingview.
2. Compare Exchange 1: The first exchange on which the script will request pricing data for the chosen symbol.
3. Compared to Exchange: The second exchange, used for the comparison.
4. Opportunity Threshold (%): A percentage threshold that, when exceeded by the price difference, can trigger buy or sell signals.
5. Plot Style?: Allows you to choose between plotting the raw difference line or a moving average of that difference.
6. MA Type: Select among SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA for your moving average calculation.
7. MA Length: The lookback period for the selected moving average.
8. Plot Buy/Sell Signals?: Enables or disables the plotting of arrows signaling potential buy or sell zones based on threshold crossovers.
9. Automated Detection?: Toggles an additional multi-exchange data scan feature that calculates the highest and lowest prices for the specified symbol across a predefined list of exchanges.
CALCULATIONS
At its core, the script calculates price1 and price2 using the request.security function to fetch close prices from two selected exchanges. The difference is measured as (price1 - price2) / price2 * 100. This results in a percentage that indicates how much higher or lower price1 is relative to price2. Additionally, the script calculates a slope for this difference, which helps color the line depending on whether it is trending up or down. If you choose the moving average option, the script will replace the raw difference data with one of several moving average calculations (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA).
The script also includes an iterative scan of up to 15 different exchanges for Automated detection, collecting the highest and lowest price across all those exchanges. If the Automated option is enabled, it compiles a potential recommendation: buy at the cheapest exchange price and sell at the most expensive one. The difference across all exchanges (allExDiffPercent) is calculated using (highestPriceAll - lowestPriceAll) / lowestPriceAll * 100.
WHAT AUTOMATED DETECTION SIGNAL DOES
If enabled, the Automated detection feature scans all 15 supported exchanges for the specified symbol. It then identifies the exchange with the highest price and the exchange with the lowest price. The script displays a recommended action: buy on the lowest-exchange price and sell on the highest-exchange price. While called “Automated,” it is essentially a multi-exchange data query that automates a portion of research by consolidating different price points. It does not replace thorough analysis or guaranteed execution; it simply provides an overview of potential extremes.
WHAT ALL-EX-DIFF IS
The variable allExDiffPercent is used to show the overall difference between the highest price and the lowest price found among the 15 pre-chosen exchanges. This figure can be useful for anyone wanting a big-picture view of how large the arbitrage spread might be across the broader market.
SIGNALS AND HOW THEY ARE GENERATED
The script provides two main modes of signal generation:
1. Raw Difference Mode: If the user chooses “Use Normal Line,” the script compares the percentage difference of the two selected exchanges (price1 and price2) to the user-defined threshold. When the difference crosses under the positive threshold, a sell signal is displayed (red arrow). Conversely, when the difference crosses above the negative threshold, a buy signal is displayed (green arrow).
2. Moving Average Mode: If the user selects “Use Moving Average,” the script instead references the moving average values (maValue). The signals fire under similar conditions but use the average line to gauge whether the threshold has been crossed.
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Add the script to your chart in TradingView.
2. In the script’s settings panel, configure the symbol you wish to compare (for example, BTCUSDT), choose the two exchanges you want to evaluate, and set your desired threshold.
3. Optionally, pick a moving average type and length if you prefer a smoother representation of the difference.
4. Enable or disable buy/sell signals according to your preference.
5. If you’d like to see potential extremes among a broader list of exchanges, enable Automated Detection. Keep in mind that this feature runs additional security requests, so it might slow down performance on weaker devices or if you already have many scripts running.
EXCHANGES TO USE
The script currently supports up to 15 exchanges: BYBIT, BINANCE, MEXC, BLOFIN, BITGET, OKX, KUCOIN, COINBASE, COINEX, PHEMEX, POLONIEX, GATEIO, BITSTAMP, and KRAKEN. You can choose any two of these for direct comparison, and if you enable the Automated detection, it will attempt to query them all to find extremes in real time.
VISUALS
The exchanges and current prices & differences are all plotted in the table while the colored line represents the difference in the price. The two thresholds colored red are where signals are generated. A cross below the upper threshold is a sell signal and a cross above the lower threshold is a buy signal. In the line at the bottom, purple is a negative slope and aqua is a positive slope.
LIMITATIONS AND POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
If you enable too many visual elements such as signals, additional lines, and the Automated-based scanning table, you may find that your chart becomes cluttered, or text might overlap. One workaround is to remove and reapply the indicator to refresh its display. You may also want to reduce the number of displayed table rows by disabling some features if your chart becomes too crowded. Sometimes there might be an error that the price of an asset is not available on an exchange, to fix this, go and select another exchange to compare it to, or if it happens in Automated detection, choose a different asset, ideally more widely spread.
UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out due to its multifaceted approach: it doesn’t just look at two exchanges but optionally scans up to 15 exchanges in real time, presenting users with a much broader view of the market. The dual-mode system (raw difference vs. moving average) allows for both immediate, unfiltered signals and smoother, noise-reduced signals depending on user preference. By default, it introduces dynamic visual cues through color changes when the slope of the difference transitions upward or downward. The optional Automated detection, while not a deep learning system, adds a functional intelligence layer by collating extreme price points from multiple exchanges in one place, thereby streamlining the manual research process. This combination of features gives the script a unique edge in the TradingView ecosystem, catering equally to novices wanting a straightforward approach and to advanced users looking for an aggregated multi-exchange analysis.
CONCLUSION
Uptrick: Arbitrage Monitor is a versatile and customizable Pine Script™ indicator that highlights price differences for a specified symbol between two user-selected exchanges. Through signals, threshold-based alerts, and optional Automated detection across multiple exchanges, it aims to support traders in identifying potential arbitrage opportunities quickly and efficiently. This script makes no guarantees of profitability but can serve as a valuable tool to add to your trading toolkit. Always use caution when implementing arbitrage strategies, and be mindful of market risks, exchange fees, and latency.
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES
This script is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a guarantee of performance. Users are encouraged to conduct thorough research and consider the inherent risks of arbitrage trading. Market conditions can change rapidly, and orders may fail to execute at desired prices, especially when large price discrepancies attract competition from other traders.
Uptrick: Smart BoundariesThis script is an indicator that combines the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and Bollinger Bands to highlight potential points where price momentum and volatility may both be at extreme levels. Below is a detailed explanation of its components, how it calculates signals, and why these two indicators have been merged into one tool. This script is intended solely for educational purposes and for traders who want to explore the combined use of momentum and volatility measures. Please remember that no single indicator guarantees profitable results.
Purpose of This Script
This script is designed to serve as a concise, all-in-one tool for traders seeking to track both momentum and volatility extremes in real time. By overlaying RSI signals with Bollinger Band boundaries, it helps users quickly identify points on a chart where price movement may be highly stretched. The goal is to offer a clearer snapshot of potential overbought or oversold conditions without requiring two separate indicators. Additionally, its optional pyramiding feature enables users to manage how many times they initiate trades when signals repeat in the same direction. Through these combined functions, the script aims to streamline technical analysis by consolidating two popular measures—momentum via RSI and volatility via Bollinger Bands—into a single, manageable interface.
1. Why Combine RSI and Bollinger Bands
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes. It typically ranges between 0 and 100. Traders often watch for RSI crossing into “overbought” or “oversold” levels because it may indicate a potential shift in momentum.
• Bollinger Bands: These bands are plotted around a moving average, using a standard deviation multiplier to create an upper and lower boundary. They help illustrate how volatile the price has been relative to its recent average. When price moves outside these boundaries, some traders see it as a sign the price may be overstretched and could revert closer to the average.
Combining these two can be useful because it blends two different perspectives on market movement. RSI attempts to identify momentum extremes, while Bollinger Bands track volatility extremes. By looking for moments when both conditions agree, the script tries to highlight points where price might be unusually stretched in terms of both momentum and volatility.
2. How Signals Are Generated
• Buy Condition:
- RSI dips below a specified “oversold” level (for example, 30 by default).
- Price closes below the lower Bollinger Band.
When these occur together, the script draws a label indicating a potential bullish opportunity. The underlying reasoning is that momentum (RSI) suggests a stronger-than-usual sell-off, and price is also stretched below the lower Bollinger Band.
• Sell Condition:
- RSI rises above a specified “overbought” level (for example, 70 by default).
- Price closes above the upper Bollinger Band.
When these occur together, a label is plotted for a potential bearish opportunity. The rationale is that momentum (RSI) may be overheated, and the price is trading outside the top of its volatility range.
3. Pyramiding Logic and Trade Count Management
• Pyramiding refers to taking multiple positions in the same direction when signals keep firing. While some traders prefer just one position per signal, others like to scale into a trade if the market keeps pushing in their favor.
• This script uses variables that keep track of how many recent buy or sell signals have fired. If the count reaches a user-defined maximum, no more signals of that type will trigger additional labels. This protects traders from over-committing to one direction if the market conditions remain “extreme” for a prolonged period.
• If you disable the pyramiding feature, the script will only plot one label per side until the condition resets (i.e., until RSI and price conditions are no longer met).
4. Labels and Visual Feedback
• Whenever a buy or sell condition appears, the script plots a label directly on the chart:
- Buy labels under the price bar.
- Sell labels above the price bar.
These labels make it easier to review where both RSI and Bollinger Band conditions align. It can be helpful for visually scanning the chart to see if the signals show any patterns related to market reversals or trend continuations.
• The Bollinger Bands themselves are plotted so traders can see when the price is approaching or exceeding the upper or lower band. Watching the RSI and Bollinger Band plots simultaneously can give traders more context for each signal.
5. Originality and Usefulness
This script provides a distinct approach by merging two well-established concepts—RSI and Bollinger Bands—within a single framework, complemented by optional pyramiding controls. Rather than using each indicator separately, it attempts to uncover moments when momentum signals from RSI align with volatility extremes highlighted by Bollinger Bands. This combined perspective can aid in spotting areas of possible overextension in price. Additionally, the built-in pyramiding mechanism offers a method to manage multiple signals in the same direction, allowing users to adjust how aggressively they scale into trades. By integrating these elements together, the script aims to deliver a tool that caters to diverse trading styles while remaining straightforward to configure and interpret.
6. How to Use the Indicator
• Configure the Inputs:
- RSI Length (the lookback period used for the RSI calculation).
- RSI Overbought and Oversold Levels.
- Bollinger Bands Length and Multiplier (defines the moving average period and the degree of deviation).
- Option to reduce pyramiding.
• Set Alerts (Optional):
- You can create TradingView alerts for when these conditions occur, so you do not have to monitor the chart constantly. Choose the buy or sell alert conditions in your alert settings.
• Integration in a Trading Plan:
- This script alone is not a complete trading system. Consider combining it with other forms of analysis, such as support and resistance, volume profiles, or candlestick patterns. Thorough research, testing on historical data, and risk management are always recommended.
7. No Performance Guarantees
• This script does not promise any specific trading results. It is crucial to remember that no single indicator can accurately predict future market movements all the time. The script simply tries to highlight moments when two well-known indicators both point to an extreme condition.
• Actual trading decisions should factor in a range of market information, including personal risk tolerance and broader market conditions.
8. Purpose and Limitations
• Purpose:
- Provide a combined view of momentum (RSI) and volatility (Bollinger Bands) in a single script.
- Assist in spotting times when price may be at an extreme.
- Offer a configurable system for labeling potential buy or sell points based on these extremes.
• Limitations:
- Overbought and oversold conditions can persist for an extended period in trending markets.
- Bollinger Band breakouts do not always result in immediate reversals. Sometimes price keeps moving in the same direction.
- The script does not include a built-in exit strategy or risk management rules. Traders must handle these themselves.
Additional Disclosures
This script is published open-source and does not rely on any external or private libraries. It does not use lookahead methods or repaint signals; all calculations are performed on the current bar without referencing future data. Furthermore, the script is designed for standard candlestick or bar charts rather than non-standard chart types (e.g., Heikin Ashi, Renko). Traders should keep in mind that while the script can help locate potential momentum and volatility extremes, it does not include an exit strategy or account for factors like slippage or commission. All code comes from built-in Pine Script functions and standard formulas for RSI and Bollinger Bands. Anyone reviewing or modifying this script should exercise caution and incorporate proper risk management when applying it to their own trading.
Calculation Details
The script computes RSI by examining a user-defined number of prior bars (the RSI Length) and determining the average of up-moves relative to the average of down-moves over that period. This ratio is then scaled to a 0–100 range, so lower values typically indicate stronger downward momentum, while higher values suggest stronger upward momentum. In parallel, Bollinger Bands are generated by first calculating a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price for the user-specified length. The script then measures the standard deviation of closing prices over the same period and multiplies it by the chosen factor (the Bollinger Bands Multiplier) to form the upper and lower boundaries around the SMA. These two measures are checked in tandem: if the RSI dips below a certain oversold threshold and price trades below the lower Bollinger Band, a condition is met that may imply a strong short-term sell-off; similarly, if the RSI surpasses the overbought threshold and price rises above the upper Band, it may indicate an overextended move to the upside. The pyramiding counters track how many of these signals occur in sequence, preventing excessive stacking of labels on the chart if conditions remain extreme for multiple bars.
Conclusion
This indicator aims to provide a more complete view of potential market extremes by overlaying the RSI’s momentum readings on top of Bollinger Band volatility signals. By doing so, it attempts to help traders see when both indicators suggest that the market might be oversold or overbought. The optional reduced pyramiding logic further refines how many signals appear, giving users the choice of a single entry or multiple scaling entries. It does not claim any guaranteed success or predictive power, but rather serves as a tool for those wanting to explore this combined approach. Always be cautious and consider multiple factors before placing any trades.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: How do I input my Buy Price and Buy Date?
The script allows you to either manually input the Buy Price and Buy Date or use the automated detection. If you choose automated detection, the script will automatically assign the buy date when the price crosses above your set Buy Price.
Q2: What is the purpose of the "Sell Rules"?
The script offers four sell strategies to help manage different types of stocks in varying phases of their lifecycle:
Ascender Rule: Targets IPO stocks showing positive momentum.
Midterm Rule: A defensive strategy for stocks in a steady uptrend.
40 Week Rule: Long-term hold strategy designed to ride stocks through extended growth.
Everest Rule: Aggressive strategy to capture profits during parabolic price moves.
Q3: What is the significance of the Green Line at Buy Price?
The Green Line represents your entry point (Buy Price) on the chart. It will appear from the buy date onwards, helping you track the performance of your stock relative to your entry.
Q4: Can I customize the Sell Strategy?
Yes! You can choose from the available Sell Rules (Ascender Rule, Midterm Rule, 40 Week Rule, Everest Rule) via an input option in the script. Each strategy has its own unique triggers based on price action, moving averages, and time-based conditions.
Q5: Does this script work for stocks and crypto?
Yes, this script is designed for both stocks and cryptocurrencies. It works on any asset where price data and timeframes are available.
Q6: How do the Weekly Moving Averages (WSMA) work in this strategy?
The script uses weekly moving averages (WSMA) to track longer-term trends. These are essential for some of the sell rules, such as the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, which rely on the stock's movement relative to the 40-week moving average.
Q7: Will the script plot a Sell Signal immediately after the Buy Date?
No, sell signals will only be plotted after the Buy Date. This ensures that the sell strategy is relevant to your actual holding period and avoids premature triggers.
Q8: How do I interpret the Sell Signal?
The script will plot a Red Sell Signal above the bar when the sell conditions are met, based on the selected strategy. This indicates that it may be a good time to exit the position according to your chosen rule.
Q9: Can I use this strategy on different timeframes?
Yes, you can apply the script to any timeframe. However, some sell strategies, like the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, are designed to work best with weekly data, so it's recommended to use these strategies with longer timeframes.
Q10: Does this script have any alerts?
Yes! The script supports alert conditions that will notify you when the sell conditions are met according to your selected rule. You can set up alerts to stay informed without needing to watch the chart constantly.
Q11: What if I want to disable some of the sell rules?
You can select your preferred sell rule using the "Select Sell Rule" dropdown. If you don’t want to use a particular rule, simply choose a different strategy or leave it inactive.

SMA Proximity Signal with Trend TableSummary of the Script:
This Pine Script is designed to provide a variety of technical analysis signals based on Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) and market trends across different timeframes. The script combines multiple indicators, such as the SMA crossover, proximity conditions, and trend analysis, along with visual markers and support/resistance lines. Below is a detailed breakdown of the key features:
The script detects crossovers between SMA1 and SMA2 and SMA1 and SMA3, marking them with green circles exactly at the crossover price level (not on the candles).
The crossover events are identified using ta.crossover and ta.crossunder functions.
Additional circles are drawn when other SMAs are in proximity (narrow stage)
Elephant Candle Pattern:
The script identifies "Elephant Candles" based on a large candle body relative to the overall size of the candle, using the condition where the candle body is at least 80% of the total candle size and at least 1.5 times the average candle size.
These candles are marked with an elephant emoji 🐘 at the top of the candle.
Trend Analysis Across Multiple Timeframes:
The script calculates the trend for different timeframes using the SMA20 of each timeframe:
5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, and 1D
It compares the current SMA20 to its previous value to determine whether the trend is Up, Down, or Flat.
MktCumTickThis script is a market sentiment indicator that calculates the cumulative TICK (Trade Imbalance Sentiment) for four major markets: NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations), Dow Jones, and AMEX (American Stock Exchange).
Here's a breakdown of the script:
1. Market data requests: The script requests data for the four markets, including:
- TICK (Trade Imbalance Sentiment) data
- HLC3 (High, Low, Close) data
- ADVN (Advancing issues), DECL (Declining issues), and UNCH (Unchanged issues) data
2. Cumulative TICK calculation: The script calculates the cumulative TICK for each market by dividing the TICK data by the maximum TICK value for each market.
3. Plotting: The script plots the cumulative TICK values for each market as separate lines on the chart.
4. Background color: The script changes the background color of the chart based on the cumulative TICK values. If all four markets have decreasing cumulative TICK values, the background color turns red. If all four markets have increasing cumulative TICK values, the background color turns green.
The purpose of this indicator is to provide a visual representation of market sentiment across multiple markets. By analyzing the cumulative TICK values, traders can gain insights into market trends and make more informed trading decisions.
Some possible uses of this indicator include:
- Identifying market trends and sentiment
- Confirming trade entries and exits
- Monitoring market conditions and adjusting trading strategies accordingly
Weekly Bullish Pattern DetectorThis script is a TradingView Pine Script designed to detect a specific bullish candlestick pattern on the weekly chart. Below is a detailed breakdown of its components:
1. Purpose
The script identifies a four-candle bullish pattern where:
The first candle is a long green (bullish) candlestick.
The second and third candles are small-bodied candles, signifying consolidation or indecision.
The fourth candle is another long green (bullish) candlestick.
When this pattern is detected, the script:
Marks the chart with a visual label.
Optionally triggers an alert to notify the trader.
2. Key Features
Overlay on Chart:
indicator("Weekly Bullish Pattern Detector", overlay=true) ensures the indicator draws directly on the price chart.
Customizable Inputs:
length (Body Size Threshold):
Defines the minimum percentage of the total range that qualifies as a "long" candle body (default: 14%).
smallCandleThreshold (Small Candle Body Threshold):
Defines the maximum percentage of the total range that qualifies as a "small" candle body (default: 10%).
Candlestick Property Calculations:
bodySize: Measures the absolute size of the candle body (close - open).
totalRange: Measures the total high-to-low range of the candle.
bodyPercentage: Calculates the proportion of the body size relative to the total range ((bodySize / totalRange) * 100).
isGreen and isRed: Identify bullish (green) or bearish (red) candles based on their open and close prices.
Pattern Conditions:
longGreenCandle:
Checks if the candle is bullish (isGreen) and its body percentage exceeds the defined length threshold.
smallCandle:
Identifies small-bodied candles where the body percentage is below the smallCandleThreshold.
consolidation:
Confirms the second and third candles are both small-bodied (smallCandle and smallCandle ).
Bullish Pattern Detection:
bullishPattern:
Detects the full four-candle sequence:
The first candle (longGreenCandle ) is a long green candle.
The second and third candles (consolidation) are small-bodied.
The fourth candle (longGreenCandle) is another long green candle.
Visualization:
plotshape(bullishPattern):
Draws a green label ("Pattern") below the price chart whenever the pattern is detected.
Alert Notification:
alertcondition(bullishPattern):
Sends an alert with the message "Bullish Pattern Detected on Weekly Chart" whenever the pattern is found.
3. How It Works
Evaluates Candle Properties:
For each weekly candle, the script calculates its size, range, and body percentage.
Identifies Each Component of the Pattern:
Checks for a long green candle (first and fourth).
Verifies the presence of two small-bodied candles (second and third).
Detects and Marks the Pattern:
Confirms the sequence and marks the chart with a label if the pattern is complete.
Sends Alerts:
Notifies the trader when the pattern is detected.
4. Use Cases
This script is ideal for:
Swing Traders:
Spotting weekly patterns that indicate potential bullish continuations.
Breakout Traders:
Identifying consolidation zones followed by upward momentum.
Pattern Recognition:
Automatically detecting a commonly used bullish formation.
5. Key Considerations
Timeframe: Works best on weekly charts.
Customization: The thresholds for "long" and "small" candles can be adjusted to suit different markets or volatility levels.
Limitations:
It doesn't confirm the pattern's success; further analysis (e.g., volume, support/resistance levels) may be required for validation
