Market Cycle Phases IndicatorOverview
The Market Cycle Phases Indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify and visualize the different phases of market cycles. By distinguishing between Accumulation, Uptrend, Distribution, and Downtrend phases, this indicator provides a clear and color-coded representation of market conditions, aiding in better decision-making and strategy development. It is especially useful for long-term investors to observe and understand market cycles over extended periods. The phases are color-coded for easy identification: Green for Accumulation, Blue for Uptrend, Yellow for Distribution, and Red for Downtrend.
Key Features
Identifies four key market phases: Accumulation, Uptrend, Distribution, and Downtrend
Uses a combination of moving averages and volatility measures
Color-coded background for easy visualization of market phases
Adjustable parameters for moving average length, volatility length, and volatility threshold
Plots the moving average and Average True Range (ATR) for reference
Suitable for both short-term trading and long-term investing
Concepts Underlying the Calculations
The calculations behind the Market Cycle Phases Indicator are straightforward, combining the principles of moving averages and volatility measures:
Moving Average (MA): A simple moving average is used to determine the overall trend direction.
Average True Range (ATR): This measures market volatility over a specified period.
Volatility Threshold: A multiplier is applied to the ATR to distinguish between high and low volatility conditions.
How It Works
The indicator first calculates a moving average (MA) of the closing prices and the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. Based on the position of the price relative to the MA and the current volatility level, the indicator determines the current market phase:
Accumulation Phase: Price is below the MA, and volatility is low (Green background). This phase often indicates a period of consolidation and potential buying interest before an uptrend.
Uptrend Phase: Price is above the MA, and volatility is high (Blue background). This phase represents a strong upward movement in price, often driven by increased buying activity.
Distribution Phase: Price is above the MA, and volatility is low (Yellow background). This phase suggests a period of consolidation at the top of an uptrend, where selling interest may start to increase.
Downtrend Phase: Price is below the MA, and volatility is high (Red background). This phase indicates a strong downward movement in price, often driven by increased selling activity.
How Traders Can Use It
Traders can use the Market Cycle Phases Indicator to:
Identify potential entry and exit points based on market phase transitions.
Confirm trends and avoid false signals by considering both trend direction and volatility.
Develop and refine trading strategies tailored to specific market conditions.
Enhance risk management by recognizing periods of high and low volatility.
Observe long-term market cycles to make informed investment decisions.
Example Usage Instructions
Add the Market Cycle Phases Indicator to your chart.
Adjust the input parameters as needed:
Base Length: Default is 50.
Volatility Length: Default is 14.
Volatility Threshold: Default is 1.5.
Observe the color-coded background to identify the current market phase
Use the identified phases to inform your trading decisions:
Consider buying during the Accumulation or Uptrend phases.
Consider selling or shorting during the Distribution or Downtrend phases.
Combine with other indicators and analysis techniques for comprehensive market insights.
By incorporating the Market Cycle Phases Indicator into your trading toolkit, you can gain a clearer understanding of market dynamics and enhance your ability to navigate different market conditions, making it a valuable asset for long-term investing.

Enhanced Trend Arrows with Moving Average [ST]Enhanced Trend Arrows with Moving Average
Description in English:
This indicator is designed to identify market trends using a moving average and displays arrows after three consecutive closes above or below the moving average. It helps traders visualize confirmed trends and make informed decisions.
Detailed Explanation:
Configuration:
Length: Defines the period over which the moving average is calculated. The default value is 14.
MA Type: Allows choosing between a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Uptrend Color: Sets the color of the arrows indicating an uptrend. The default color is green.
Downtrend Color: Sets the color of the arrows indicating a downtrend. The default color is red.
Moving Average Calculation:
The moving average (MA) is calculated based on the selected type (SMA or EMA) and period. The SMA is the simple arithmetic mean of the closing prices over the specified period, while the EMA gives more weight to recent prices.
Trend Identification:
The script detects when the price crosses above (crossover) or below (crossunder) the moving average.
When a crossover occurs (price moves above the MA), it indicates a potential uptrend, and the trend variable is set to 1.
When a crossunder occurs (price moves below the MA), it indicates a potential downtrend, and the trend variable is set to -1.
The script tracks the closing price at the crossover or crossunder point using the trendPrice variable.
It also counts consecutive bars above or below the moving average to confirm the trend, using above_count for uptrend and below_count for downtrend.
Arrow Display:
The script displays an up arrow ("▲") after three consecutive closes above the moving average, indicating a confirmed uptrend.
Similarly, it displays a down arrow ("▼") after three consecutive closes below the moving average, indicating a confirmed downtrend.
The arrows are displayed at the trendPrice level to clearly indicate the point at which the trend was confirmed.
Indicator Benefits:
Trend Identification: Helps traders identify market trends using moving averages, which are widely used in technical analysis.
Visual Cues: The arrows provide clear visual signals for confirmed trends, making it easier for traders to make informed decisions.
New Features and Enhancements:
This script has been enhanced to provide more accurate trend identification by ensuring arrows are only displayed after three consecutive closes above or below the moving average.
The color customization options for uptrend and downtrend arrows have been added for better visualization.
Improved description and explanations to make the functionality and usage of the indicator clearer.
Trend identifier with signals - Swing TradingIndicator Objective
The "Trend identifier with signals - Swing Trading" indicator is designed to help traders identify market trends and provide clear visual signals for potential buy and sell points based on the interaction of price with the 20-period moving average.
How the Indicator Works
20-Period Moving Average:
The indicator calculates the 20-period simple moving average (SMA), which is a common tool for smoothing out price fluctuations and identifying the overall market direction.
The moving average is plotted on the chart, changing color according to the identified trend:
Green: Indicates an uptrend.
Red: Indicates a downtrend.
Gray: Indicates a neutral or undefined market condition.
Trend Identification on the Daily Chart:
The indicator checks the trend based on an adjustable period (default is 5 periods):
Uptrend: When the short-term moving average (5 periods) is above the long-term moving average (10 periods).
Downtrend: When the short-term moving average (5 periods) is below the long-term moving average (10 periods).
Signal for Touching the Moving Average:
When the price crosses the 20-period moving average, the candles are colored purple to indicate that there was a touch on the moving average.
This helps identify critical points where the price may reverse or continue its trend.
Trend Signal:
Green Flag: Appears below the candle when there is a touch on the moving average and the trend is up, suggesting a potential buy point.
Red Flag: Appears above the candle when there is a touch on the moving average and the trend is down, suggesting a potential sell point.
Lateral Zone Identification:
The indicator also checks if the price touched the moving average for 5 consecutive candles, indicating a possible consolidation or lateral zone.
If this occurs, a message "Possible Lateral Zone" is shown on the chart, helping the trader avoid trades in a market without a clear direction.
How the Indicator Helps Traders
Clear Trend Identification:
By changing the color of the moving average according to the trend (green for up, red for down), the indicator provides a clear visualization of market direction.
This allows traders to align their trades with the prevailing trend, increasing the probability of success.
Visual Buy and Sell Signals:
The green and red flags provide direct visual signals for potential entry and exit points, based on the interaction of price with the moving average.
This is particularly useful for novice traders who may struggle to identify these points on their own.
Risk Management and Trade Planning:
Identifying lateral zones helps traders avoid trading in trendless markets, where price movements are more unpredictable.
This improves risk management and allows traders to focus on more favorable opportunities.
CoT Trend Change MomentumI discovered that whenever there's huge change in long IO or short IO there will be a momentum shift. So, I created this indicator to spot massive explosive volume changes for commercials and non commercials activity. Using standard deviation 2 and -2 as extreme point. Whatever crossing above standard deviation 2 indicating positions are added regardless whether it is long or shorts, whatever crossing below standard deviation -2 means positions are closed.
This is how I use this indicator:
1) In this example , i use only the commercials long and shorts. Whenever the longs exceed stdeviation +2, means that long volume flow in massively, for me this can be indicating potential to the upside. Whenever longs fall below stdeviation-2, for me this can be indicating that commercials are either taking profits for the short positions or accumulating for another bull price.
2) For shorts same logic applied here, when it exceeds stdeviation +2, mean commercials shorts position increase massively, when it exceeds stdeviation-2, means that commercials closed their short positions.
For this script, I use 13 weeks period as lookback, u guys may directly modify the period in the script to set the period that u want.
I've added for non-commercials as well, to ease people who emphasizes on non-commercials positioning analysis process.
I'm still trying to incorporate this with Open Interest Analysis. Hopefully u guys find this indicator useful. Feel free to modify it, to understand it more, my suggestions are u compare date by date the positions, to see the extreme points. The indicator only works in weekly chart, it is non repainted only in weekly chart, meaning that the indicator shows the histogram just as the week open.
Stocks Above 5-Day Average (FOMO)Overview
Inspired by Matt Carusos's FOMO indicator, this breadth indicator is designed to provide a visual representation of the percentage of stocks within major indices that are trading above their 5-day moving average.
Functionality
The indicator plots the percentage of stocks trading above their 5-day moving average for the following indices:
S&P 500
Nasdaq
Russell 2000
Dow Jones
All Markets (MMFD)
The indicator includes two horizontal lines:
Upper Threshold: Default at 85%
Lower Threshold: Default at 15%
These lines are used to identify potential overbought (above upper threshold) or oversold (below lower threshold) conditions.
Plot Shapes:
Small circles are plotted at the points where the percentage of stocks crosses the upper or lower thresholds, with colors matching the respective index.
Table:
The current percentage of stocks above the 5-day average for each index.
A warning sign (⚠️) is shown in the table if the percentage crosses the upper or lower threshold, regardless of whether the index plot is enabled or not.
MM Sector Intraday TrackerWhat this script does:
This script tracks the percent that price has moved from the opening print of each of the 9 sector ETFs. It color codes the values so you can see which sectors are down (red color) and which sectors are up (green color). If a sector is only up or down half of one ATR, it the color will be light, but if it is beyond half of one ATR, it is a darker color.
How this script works:
It simply measures the distance that price has moved from the opening print today, and presents that information in an easy to read table on your chart.
How to use this script:
If all sectors are moving in one direction, it indicates that the entire market is in a trend day in that direction. You can use this information to decide which direction you should be trading (ie. with trend). For example, in order for there to be healthy bullish moves in the market, you would want this indicator to show you that all sectors are green, or at least that some sectors are green, which would indicate that there is healthy rotation of capital across the market sectors.
What makes this script original:
Most indicators and even the TradingView watchlist measure the percent changed on the day from the closing price of a stock on the prior trading day, essentially telling you what sentiment is since yesterday. This script tells you the sentiment today since it is priced from the opening print.

Markov Chain Trend IndicatorOverview
The Markov Chain Trend Indicator utilizes the principles of Markov Chain processes to analyze stock price movements and predict future trends. By calculating the probabilities of transitioning between different market states (Uptrend, Downtrend, and Sideways), this indicator provides traders with valuable insights into market dynamics.
Key Features
State Identification: Differentiates between Uptrend, Downtrend, and Sideways states based on price movements.
Transition Probability Calculation: Calculates the probability of transitioning from one state to another using historical data.
Real-time Dashboard: Displays the probabilities of each state on the chart, helping traders make informed decisions.
Background Color Coding: Visually represents the current market state with background colors for easy interpretation.
Concepts Underlying the Calculations
Markov Chains: A stochastic process where the probability of moving to the next state depends only on the current state, not on the sequence of events that preceded it.
Logarithmic Returns: Used to normalize price changes and identify states based on significant movements.
Transition Matrices: Utilized to store and calculate the probabilities of moving from one state to another.
How It Works
The indicator first calculates the logarithmic returns of the stock price to identify significant movements. Based on these returns, it determines the current state (Uptrend, Downtrend, or Sideways). It then updates the transition matrices to keep track of how often the price moves from one state to another. Using these matrices, the indicator calculates the probabilities of transitioning to each state and displays this information on the chart.
How Traders Can Use It
Traders can use the Markov Chain Trend Indicator to:
Identify Market Trends: Quickly determine if the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways state.
Predict Future Movements: Use the transition probabilities to forecast potential market movements and make informed trading decisions.
Enhance Trading Strategies: Combine with other technical indicators to refine entry and exit points based on predicted trends.
Example Usage Instructions
Add the Markov Chain Trend Indicator to your TradingView chart.
Observe the background color to quickly identify the current market state:
Green for Uptrend, Red for Downtrend, Gray for Sideways
Check the dashboard label to see the probabilities of transitioning to each state.
Use these probabilities to anticipate market movements and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Combine the indicator with other technical analysis tools for more robust decision-making.
ThePawnAlgoThe Pawn Algo is a simple indicator that is useful for scalping in sync with a higher timeframe should only be use in clear trending markets.
What it does and How it does it?
The script is based of a simple pattern close above previous candle high means higher prices we can see it in a green bar. Close below previous candle low means lower prices we can see it in a red bar. Close inside previous candle range means price is going to consolidate do some kind of retracement or reversal we mark it in a black or dark color bar.
It plot an arrow and a liquidity level when it detects a change in sentiment from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish.
It plot the Higher timeframe previous completed candle range into the selected Lower timeframe to easily see the HTF levels into the lower timeframe.
The HTF range change colors depending of previous HTF candles closes following the same idea, close above previous candle high means green range, close below previous candle low means red range and close inside means a gray range. Finally it plots the 50% of the HTF range and the previous close high and low.
Finally it draws a yellow value zone that is the difference between the previous candle close and 50% of the previous range. This zone is ideal for taking continuation trades in favor of the HTF trend.
How to use it?
You must first select a higher timeframe in minutes in the settings default value is 1440minutes then select a lower timeframe is the maximum timeframe in where the HTF will be visible. Default lower timeframe is 15minutes.
Then just wait for the HTF candle to close and engage in the LTF when price is around the value yellow zone in a premium or discount.
Green arrows are automatically plot when HTF is bullish and Red arrows when is bearish by default. But you can enable or disable the arrow signals liquidity levels or configure as you want. Making all signals visible or just the buys or sells.
The script is useful to easily identify the HTF draw on liquidity and recent key levels and then use the LTF structure to enter.
The indicator can be used to identify liquidity, price will seek this liquidity point sometimes sweep and then continue the move. if the liquidity or stop level is broken with a body is a clear change of direction.
Aggressor Volume ImbalanceAggressor volume imbalance represents the ratio between market aggressor buy volume (market buy orders) and market aggressor sell volume (market sell orders). This ratio enables traders to evaluate the interest of market aggressors and whether aggressive market activity favours the price's direction.
Analysing aggressor volume is critical in understanding market sentiment and aids in identifying shifts in momentum and potential exhaustion points in the market. When the aggressor buy volume significantly exceeds the sell volume, it typically indicates strong buying interest, driving prices higher if the offer-side liquidity cannot contain it, and vice versa.
How it Works
The imbalance ratio is calculated as follows, according to the selected session timeframe (see settings):
imbalance := ((buyVolumeAccumulator - sellVolumeAccumulator)
/ (buyVolumeAccumulator + sellVolumeAccumulator)) * 100
Aggressive Volume Imbalance uses lower timeframe historical data to calculate Historical Aggressor Volume Imbalances, while live data is used for live aggressor volume imbalances.
How to Use It
You can set the indicator to use any historical data timeframe you prefer. However, it is highly recommended to use lower timeframes (e.g., 1 second), as the lower the timeframe, the more granular the data.
The indicator resets to 0% whenever a new session timeframe begins (e.g., a new day) and calculates new values for the rest of the session. This can be configured in the settings.
First Candle DirectionWe determine the color of the first candle based on whether the closing price is greater than or equal to the opening price.
If the closing price is higher, the candle is green; otherwise, it’s red.
Bitcoin Production CostFirst inspired by the amazing @capriole_charles, I decided to create my own version of calculating the Bitcoin production cost and to share it with you guys.
One of the main difference is the electricity cost calculation. I used a country-specific input system that calculates the weighted electricity cost leveraged by the distribution of the Bitcoin network hashrate. I like the fact that it requires little updating although it is less realistic for past calculations (further in the past production costs seems too low).
How to use:
- Add the indicator to your chart.
- Adjust the inputs if needed. Update the percentage of Bitcoin network Hashrate or electricity Cost per countries. Update the mining hardware stats to the most recent hardware. For example I used a Bitcoin Miner S21 Pro stats.
- Check the multiple variables in the data window.
- Turn on/off the halving event in the style tab
($ROSE Trader) Mean Multiple OscillatorThe ROSE Trader Mean Multiple Oscillator is an adaptation of The Mayer Multiple, using the 99-Day Simple Moving Average rather than the 200-Day (adjusted for ROSE's higher delta), setting distinct preset levels for ROSE overbought and oversold conditions.
Who is this indicator for?
While this indicator will function on any chart, it is setup for trading Oasis BINANCE:ROSEUSDT token specifically — the presets used are tailored to the ROSE chart.
While it is an open source public script, it has been released primarily for the ROSE community
What does this indicator offer?
This indicator follows the same concepts as the Mayer Multiple, popular with BTC. What makes it unique is that it the presets are setup specifically for the BINANCE:ROSEUSDT , based upon my trading experience.
About the Mayer Multiple:
The Mayer Multiple is a derivative of the 200-day MA, calculated by dividing the BTC market price by the 200-day MA. The 200-day MA is a widely recognised indicator for BTC in establishing macro bull or bear bias. The Mayer Multiple therefore represents a measure of distance away from this long-term average or mean price as a tool to gauge overbought and oversold conditions.
For BTC overbought, and oversold conditions, have historically coincided with Mayer Multiple values of 2.4, and 0.8 respectively.
Adapting this concept to the ROSE token:
The adaption of the Mayer Multiple offered here adjusts the 200-day MA to suit the higher delta or volatility of the BINANCE:ROSEUSDT token specifically. For ROSE I use the 99-day MA to establish macro bull or bear bias. The derived 'Mean Multiple', based on the 99-day MA therefore represents a measure of distance away from this long-term average or mean price as a tool to gauge overbought and oversold conditions.
For ROSE overbought, and oversold conditions, tend to coincide with values of 1.618, and 0.618 respectively. Further offsets have been preprogrammed to add nuance to the way this indicator may be used in different market conditions
The ROSE Trader Mean Multiple Oscillator:
The Oscillator version of this script is useful to determine possible levels that price is likely to reach overbought and over sold conditions by plotting the offsets and values directly on the price chart
Calculations:
99-Day Simple Moving Average (99D SMA) * by offset
This script is partnered with the "ROSE Trade Mean Multiple”: an adaptation of The Mayer Multiple, using the 99-Day Simple Moving Average rather than the 200-Day (adjusted for ROSE's higher delta), setting distinct preset levels for ROSE overbought and oversold conditions.
Note: this script is setup to work with any instrument, but the presets are built to provide actionable data on the Oasis BINANCE:ROSEUSDT token specifically. It is not a predicative model, it rather shows how price has behaved historically / statistically at these levels given past data.
($ROSE Trader) Mean MultipleThe ROSE Trader Mean Multiple is an adaptation of The Mayer Multiple, using the 99-Day Simple Moving Average rather than the 200-Day (adjusted for ROSE's higher delta), setting distinct preset levels for ROSE overbought and oversold conditions.
Who is this indicator for?
While this indicator will function on any chart, it is setup for trading Oasis BINANCE:ROSEUSDT token specifically — the presets used are tailored to the ROSE chart.
While it is an open source public script, it has been released primarily for the ROSE community
What does this indicator offer?
This indicator follows the same concepts as the Mayer Multiple, popular with BTC. What makes it unique is that it the presets are setup specifically for the BINANCE:ROSEUSDT , based upon my trading experience.
About the Mayer Multiple:
The Mayer Multiple is a derivative of the 200-day MA, calculated by dividing the BTC market price by the 200-day MA. The 200-day MA is a widely recognised indicator for BTC in establishing macro bull or bear bias. The Mayer Multiple therefore represents a measure of distance away from this long-term average or mean price as a tool to gauge overbought and oversold conditions.
For BTC overbought, and oversold conditions, have historically coincided with Mayer Multiple values of 2.4, and 0.8 respectively.
Adapting this concept to the ROSE token:
The adaption of the Mayer Multiple offered here adjusts the 200-day MA to suit the higher delta or volatility of the BINANCE:ROSEUSDT token specifically. For ROSE I use the 99-day MA to establish macro bull or bear bias. The derived 'Mean Multiple', based on the 99-day MA therefore represents a measure of distance away from this long-term average or mean price as a tool to gauge overbought and oversold conditions.
For ROSE overbought, and oversold conditions, tend to coincide with values of 1.618, and 0.618 respectively. Further offsets have been preprogrammed to add nuance to the way this indicator may be used in different market conditions
Calculations:
Mean Multiple is calculated by dividing the market price by the 99-Day Simple Moving Average (99D SMA). The indicator allows you to adjust the period if desired.
The indicator horizontals are set at regular offsets from Mean multiple (MM), these are calculated by multiplying the SMA from which the MM is derived by a set number to arrive at each offset, based upon historic price data.
The indicator horizontals may work as oversold and over bought levels, as they show the distance the price has moved from the mean, and how the Mean Multiple (as a derivation of price) has behaved at these levels historically
This script is partnered with the "ROSE Trade Mean Multiple Oscillator" which shows this data plotted on the price chart (This Oscillator is pictured in the chart but must be added separately, it can be found in my other public scripts)
Note: this script is setup to work with any instrument, but the presets are built to provide actionable data on the Oasis BINANCE:ROSEUSDT token specifically. It is not a predicative model, it rather shows how price has behaved historically / statistically at these levels given past data.
Market Inner Strength IndexThe "Market Inner Strength Index" is an indicator designed to visually represent the market strength by analyzing the six major sectors: XLK, XLV, XLF, XLY, XLC and XLI. These sectors represent more than 80% of the SPX index, making their performance crucial for understanding overall market conditions. The indicator calculates the individual strengths of these sectors and combines them to provide an overall market strength index, helping to identify scenarios of sector rotation, euphoria, or panic.
Rationale:
The six major sectors (XLK, XLV, XLF, XLY, XLC, XLI) are essential as they encompass a significant portion of the SPX index. Typically, money rotates among these sectors, meaning some sectors grow while others decline. Rare occasions where all sectors move in the same direction can indicate market-wide euphoria (upwards) or panic (downwards). The Market Inner Strength Index helps track sector performance and identify these scenarios.
Methodology:
Script requests current timeframe data for each of the sectors and assigns scores, based on its performance. It will work best on the daily and higher timeframes but can also be used on the lower timeframes.
Score assignment:
If the sector is green (positive performance) for the given timeframe, it receives positive points.
If the sector is red (negative performance), it receives negative points.
If the current close price is above the previous period high, additional positive points are assigned.
If the current close price is below the previous period low, additional negative points are assigned.
The scores for the six sectors are averaged to compute a total score, which is plotted on the chart. A table displays the performance of each sector, color-coded based on their scores for the last period.
Parameters:
Neutral Zone : Define the neutral zone threshold.
Heikin Ashi : Option to use Heikin Ashi candles instead of normal ones.
Show Divergency : Option to show divergences on the chart. Divergence occurs when the SPY is bullish, but the sector score is bearish, or vice versa. This option will only work on SPY chart.
Sector selections : Enable/disable specific sectors in score calculation.
CNN Fear and Greed IndexThe “CNN Fear and Greed Index” indicator in this context is designed to gauge market sentiment based on a combination of several fundamental indicators. Here’s a breakdown of how this indicator works and what it represents:
Components of the Indicator:
1. Stock Price Momentum:
• Calculates the momentum of the S&P 500 index relative to its 125-day moving average. Momentum is essentially the rate of acceleration or deceleration of price movements over time.
2. Stock Price Strength:
• Measures the breadth of the market by comparing the number of stocks hitting 52-week highs versus lows. This provides insights into the overall strength or weakness of the market trend.
3. Stock Price Breadth:
• Evaluates the volume of shares trading on the rise versus the falling volume. Higher volume on rising days suggests positive market breadth, while higher volume on declining days indicates negative breadth.
4. Put and Call Options Ratio (Put/Call Ratio):
• This ratio indicates the sentiment of investors in the options market. A higher put/call ratio typically signals increased bearish sentiment (more puts relative to calls) and vice versa.
5. Market Volatility (VIX):
• Also known as the “fear gauge,” the VIX measures the expected volatility in the market over the next 30 days. Higher VIX values indicate higher expected volatility and often correlate with increased fear or uncertainty in the market.
6. Safe Haven Demand:
• Compares the returns of stocks (represented by S&P 500) versus safer investments like 10-year Treasury bonds. Higher returns on bonds relative to stocks suggest a flight to safety or risk aversion.
7. Junk Bond Demand:
• Measures the spread between yields on high-yield (junk) bonds and investment-grade bonds. Widening spreads may indicate increasing risk aversion as investors demand higher yields for riskier bonds.
Normalization and Weighting:
• Normalization: Each component is normalized to a scale of 0 to 100 using a function that adjusts the range based on historical highs and lows of the respective indicator.
• Weighting: The user can adjust the relative importance (weight) of each component using input parameters. This customization allows for different interpretations of market sentiment based on which factors are considered more influential.
Fear and Greed Index Calculation:
• The Fear and Greed Index is calculated as a weighted average of all normalized components. This index provides a single numerical value that summarizes the overall sentiment of the market based on the selected indicators.
Usage:
• Visualization: The indicator plots the Fear and Greed Index and its components on the chart. This allows traders and analysts to visually assess the sentiment trends over time.
• Analysis: Changes in the Fear and Greed Index can signal shifts in market sentiment. For example, a rising index may indicate increasing greed and potential overbought conditions, while a falling index may suggest increasing fear and potential oversold conditions.
• Customization: Traders can customize the indicator by adjusting the weights assigned to each component based on their trading strategies and market insights.
By integrating multiple fundamental indicators into a single index, the “CNN Fear and Greed Index” provides a comprehensive snapshot of market sentiment, helping traders make informed decisions about market entry, exit, and risk management strategies.
Groupings [SS]Hey everyone,
Releasing this indicator called groupings.
If you watch/read my analyses on Tradingview, you will have heard me talk about groups. Groups is something I invented. What it is, is just taking the Euclidean Distance (ED) of the previous 5 candles in a specified period (i.e. daily timeframe, weekly, 1 minute, 5 minute, etc.) and rounding the ED up to a whole number.
I have had great success in this approach because the information provided is broad enough to give leniency in interpretation but narrow enough to hone in on potential moves and target prices.
This indicator is a simplified version of how I do groupings in other software, however it is no less powerful!
What do groups tell us?
A "group" takes into account the previous 5 candles, using the ED. This gives Pinescript a general idea of what the short term trend looks like mathematically. From there, Pinescript can look for other groups that looked similar to how this current trend looks. From there, it can offer us insights into what tends to happen in candles subsequent to this group. For example, the ATR range, the close range and whether it is bearish or bullish.
And that is precisely how this indicator operates, Pinescript will calculate the group of the previous 5 canndles in the timeframe period you are looking at. It will then lookback over the designated "train" length and identify previous groups, and what happened in those groups. It looks specifically at:
- What is that average High ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average Low ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average close range associated with that group,
- What is the sentiment associated with that group.
How to use the indicator?
In terms of use, the indicator is relatively simple to use. It will plot three lines, a red for the anticipated low range, a green for the anticipated high range and purple for the opening range (where the current candle opened at).
In addition, it will plot a dot for the anticipated close area. When the dot is green, it expects a bullish close. When the dot is red, it expects a bearish close.
The indicator is going to give you a heads up as to whether we are in a bullish group, what you can anticipate the high and low range to be and where you can anticipate the close.
Of course, its not always exact, as in the image above you can see it underestimated the high range and over-estimated the low range; however, we did close within the anticipate range.
The indicator is meant to help you with your bias. I will reference this indicator on the daily timeframe at open to see what the expectations are for the day.
However, you can use it on any timeframe you wish.
Other functions:
The indicator can plot the EMA 9, 21 and 5. These are the 3 indicators I like and I find them helpful for both intraday and swing trading. However, they can be toggled off if you do not wish to view them.
In addition, the EMAs will be green if the ticker is trending above the EMA 21 (which is a critical EMA for me to determine the immediate sentiment). If the ticker is below, they will turn red.
There is also the ability to adjust the train time. The default is 1,000 candles back, but I usually have it on 1500. If you have a lot of indicators and a lot going on, on your chart, you may find that 1500 is too much and it will lag/error. That’s okay, 500 candles is sufficient and will not put a lot of stress on Pinescript.
Concluding remarks
Its overall a fairly simple concept and indicator, but it has been a neat and helpful / insightful invention. I originally developed this using R and happy to have now brought it into Pinescript.
I hope you enjoy!
Safe trades everyone!
Multi Asset Histogram [ChartPrime]Multi Asset Histogram Indicator
Overview:

◆ Dynamic Visualization:
A histogram is plotted for each asset, with bars colored based on the score, providing a clear visual representation of the relative performance.
Color gradients from red to aqua indicate the performance, with red representing negative scores and aqua representing positive scores.
◆ Adaptive Histogram Lines:
The width and placement of histogram lines adapt based on the calculated scores, ensuring clear visualization regardless of the values.
Dashed lines represent the mean score of all assets, helping traders identify the overall market trend.
◆Detailed Labels and Values:
Labels are placed on the histogram to display the exact score for each asset.
Mean value and zero line labels provide additional context for the overall performance.
◆ Visual Scaling Lines:
Zero line and mean line are clearly marked, helping traders understand the distribution and scale of scores.
Scales on the left and right of the histogram indicate the performance range.
◆ Informative Table:
A table is displayed on the chart, showing the dominant asset (the one with the highest score) and the mean score of all assets.
The table updates dynamically to reflect real-time changes in asset performance.
◆ Settings:
Length: The value of number bars back is greater or less than the current value of the source
Source: The price source to be used for score calculation (e.g., hl2).
Symbols: Up to 10 different asset symbols can be input for analysis.
Usage Notes:
This indicator is useful for traders who monitor multiple assets simultaneously and need a quick visual reference to identify the strongest and weakest performers.
The color coding and dynamic labels make it easy to interpret the relative performance and make informed trading decisions.
This indicator is designed to enhance multi-asset analysis by providing a clear, visual representation of each asset's performance relative to the others, making it easier to identify trends and dominant assets in the market.

COT IndexReference:
Trade Stocks and Commodities with the Insiders
Secrets of the COT Report by Larry Williams pg34
The equation is as below:
Current week's value- Lowest value of last three years
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- X 100%
Highest high of last three years-Lowest low of last three years
According to Larry Williams, traders should follow commercials direction. When the commercial index line (yellow line) is above 80, this indicates commercials are bullish. Hence, traders can look for potential buy setup. Conversely, when commercials index line (yellow line) is below 20, this indicates commercials are bearish, we can look for sell setup.
Do note that this is only applicable on Weekly chart as COT reports come out on weekly basis.
Modification from the original COT index from Larry Williams:
1) I've added 1year and 6months period, so traders maybe can look for pullback using shorter period. By default, Larry Williams uses 3 years Commercial index.
2) I've added non-commercials and retail traders index, they basically trade opposite way of commercials.
This indicator should not be used as a timing tool or entry tool, you can use it as your weekly or monthly bias tool. For more information, please read the books. Feel free to modify the code, if u have a better version of this, you may share to me if you want, I will be very grateful!
KillZones + ACD Fisher [TradingFinder] Sessions + Reversal Level🔵 Introduction
🟣 ACD Method
"The Logical Trader" opens with a thorough exploration of the ACD Methodology, which focuses on pinpointing particular price levels associated with the opening range.
This approach enables traders to establish reference points for their trades, using "A" and "C" points as entry markers. Additionally, the book covers the concept of the "Pivot Range" and how integrating it with the ACD method can help maximize position size while minimizing risk.
🟣 Session
The forex market is operational 24 hours a day, five days a week, closing only on Saturdays and Sundays. Typically, traders prefer to concentrate on one specific forex trading session rather than attempting to trade around the clock.
Trading sessions are defined time periods when a particular financial market is active, allowing for the execution of trades.
The most crucial trading sessions within the 24-hour cycle are the Asia, London, and New York sessions, as these are when substantial money flows and liquidity enter the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets earn profits by capitalizing on the difference between their buy/sell prices and the prevailing market prices.
Traders vary in their trading timelines.Some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading, necessitating activity during periods with optimal trading volumes and notable price movements.
Kill zones refer to parts of a session characterized by higher trading volumes and increased price volatility compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Times
The "Asia Session" comprises two parts: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." This session begins at 23:00 and ends at 06:00 UTC. The "Asia KillZone" starts at 23:00 and ends at 03:55 UTC.
The "London Session" includes "Frankfurt" and "London," starting at 07:00 and ending at 14:25 UTC. The "London KillZone" runs from 07:00 to 09:55 UTC.
The "New York" session starts at 14:30 and ends at 19:25 UTC, with the "New York am KillZone" beginning at 14:30 and ending at 22:55 UTC.
🟣 ACD Methodology
The ACD strategy is versatile, applicable to various markets such as stocks, commodities, and forex, providing clear buy and sell signals to set price targets and stop losses.
This strategy operates on the premise that the opening range of trades holds statistical significance daily, suggesting that initial market movements impact the market's behavior throughout the day.
Known as a breakout strategy, the ACD method thrives in volatile or strongly trending markets like crude oil and stocks.
Some key rules for employing the ACD strategy include :
Utilize points A and C as critical reference points, continually monitoring these during trades as they act as entry and exit markers.
Analyze daily and multi-day pivot ranges to understand market trends. Prices above the pivots indicate an upward trend, while prices below signal a downward trend.
In forex trading, the ACD strategy can be implemented using the ACD indicator, a technical tool that gauges the market's supply and demand balance. By evaluating trading volume and price, this indicator assists traders in identifying trend strength and optimal entry and exit points.
To effectively use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying robust trends: The ACD indicator can help pinpoint strong, consistent market trends.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD generates buy and sell signals to optimize trade timing.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is breached, it’s wise to wait briefly to confirm it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned below the "A down" line. It's advisable to backtest this to ensure the best outcomes. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be verified through backtesting.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is breached, it’s prudent to wait briefly to ensure it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned above the "A up" line. Backtesting is recommended to confirm the best results. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be validated through backtesting.
Advantages of Combining Kill Zone and ACD Method in Market Analysis :
Precise Trade Timing : Integrating the Kill Zone strategy with the ACD Method enhances precision in trade entries and exits. The ACD Method identifies key points for trading, while the Kill Zone focuses on high-activity periods, together ensuring optimal timing for trades.
Better Trend Identification : The ACD Method’s pivot ranges help spot market trends, and when combined with the Kill Zone’s emphasis on periods of significant price movement, traders can more effectively identify and follow strong market trends.
Maximized Profits and Minimized Risks : The ACD Method's structured approach to setting price targets and stop losses, coupled with the Kill Zone's high-volume trading periods, helps maximize profit potential while reducing risk.
Robust Risk Management : Combining these methods provides a comprehensive risk management strategy, strategically placing stop losses and protecting capital during volatile periods.
Versatility Across Markets : Both methods are applicable to various markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex, offering flexibility and adaptability in different trading environments.
Enhanced Confidence : Using the combined insights of the Kill Zone and ACD Method, traders gain confidence in their decision-making process, reducing emotional trading and improving consistency.
By merging the Kill Zone’s focus on trading volumes and the ACD Method’s structured breakout strategy, traders benefit from a synergistic approach that enhances precision, trend identification, and risk management across multiple markets.
