Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify trading opportunities based on the closing price's position within the daily price range. It enters a long position when the IBS indicates oversold conditions and exits when the IBS reaches overbought levels. This strategy was designed to be used on the daily timeframe.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
- **Low IBS (≤ 0.2)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- **High IBS (≥ 0.8)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The IBS value drops below the Lower Threshold (default: 0.2).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the IBS value rises to or above the Upper Threshold (default: 0.8). This prompts the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Upper Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy exits trades. Default is 0.8.
Lower Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy enters long positions. Default is 0.2.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for ranging markets and performs best when prices frequently revert to the mean.
It is sensitive to extreme IBS values, which help identify potential reversals.

Relative Risk MetricOVERVIEW
The Relative Risk Metric is designed to provide a relative measure of an asset's price, within a specified range, over a log scale.
PURPOSE
Relative Position Assessment: Visualizes where the current price stands within a user-defined range, adjusted for log scale.
Logarithmic Transformation: Utilizes the natural log to account for a log scale of prices, offering a more accurate representation of relative positions.
Calculation: The indicator calculates a normalized value via the function Relative Price = / log(UpperBound) − log(LowerBound) . The result is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds to the lower bound and 1 corresponds to the upper bound on a log scale.
VISUALIZATION
The indicator plots three series:
Risk Metric - a plot of the risk metric value that’s computed from an asset's relative price so that it lies within a logarithmic range between 0.0 & 1.0.
Smoothed Risk Metric - a plot of the risk metric that’s been smoothed.
Entry/Exit - a scatter plot for identified entry and exit. Values are expressed as percent and are coded as red being exit and green being entity. E.g., a red dot at 0.02 implies exit 2% of the held asset. A green dot at 0.01 implies use 1% of a designated capital reserve.
USAGE
Risk Metric
The risk metric transformation function has several parameters. These control aspects such as decay, sensitivity, bounds and time offset.
Decay - Acts as an exponent multiplier and controls how quickly dynamic bounds change as a function of the bar_index.
Time Offset - provides a centering effect of the exponential transformation relative to the current bar_index.
Sensitivity - controls how sensitive to time the dynamic bound adjustments should be.
Baseline control - Serves as an additive offset for dynamic bounds computation which ensures that bounds never become too small or negative.
UpperBound - provides headroom to accomodate growth an assets price from the baseline. For example, an upperbound of 3.5 accommodates a 3.5x growth from the baseline value (e.g., $100 -> $350).
LowerBound - provides log scale compression such that the overall metric provides meaningful insights for prices well below the average whilst avoiding extreme scaling. A lowerbound of 0.25 corresponds to a price that is approx one quarter of a normalised baseline in a log context.
Weighted Entry/Exit
This feature provides a weighted system for identifying DCA entry and exit. This weighting mechanism adjusts the metric's interpretation to highlight conditions based on dynamic thresholds and user-defined parameters to identify high-probability zones for entry/exit actions and provide risk-adjusted insights.
Weighting Parameters
The weighting function supports fine-tuning of the computed weighted entry/exit values
Base: determines the foundational multiplier for weighting the entry/exit value. A higher base amplifies the weighting effect, making the weighted values more pronounced. It acts as a scaling factor to control the overall magnitude of the weighting.
Exponent: adjusts the curve of the weighting function. Higher exponent values increase sensitivity, emphasizing differences between risk metric values near the entry or exit thresholds. This creates a steeper gradient for the computed entry/exit value making it more responsive to subtle shifts in risk levels.
Cut Off: specifies the maximum percentage (expressed as a fraction of 1.0) that the weighted entry/exit value can reach. This cap ensures the metric remains within a meaningful range and avoids skewing
Exit condition: Defines a threshold for exit. When the risk metric is below the exit threshold (but above the entry threshold) then entry/exit is neutral.
Entry condition: Defines a threshold for entry. When the risk metric is above the entry threshold (but below the exit threshold) then entry/exit is neutral.
Weighting Behaviour
For entry conditions - value is more heavily weighted as the metric approaches the entry threshold, emphasizing lower risk levels.
For exit conditions - value is more heavily weighted as the metric nears the exit threshold, emphasizing increased risk levels.
USE-CASES
Identifying potential overbought or oversold conditions within the specified logarithmic range.
Assisting in assessing how the current price compares to historical price levels on a logarithmic scale.
Guiding decision-making processes by providing insights into the relative positioning of prices within a log context
CONSIDERATIONS
Validation: It's recommended that backtesting over historical data be done before acting on any identified entry/exit values.
User Discretion: This indicator focus on price risk. Consider other risk factors and general market conditions as well.
TASC 2025.02 Autocorrelation Indicator█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Autocorrelation Indicator introduced by John Ehlers in the "Drunkard's Walk: Theory And Measurement By Autocorrelation" article from the February 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The indicator calculates the autocorrelation of a price series across several lags to construct a periodogram , which traders can use to identify market cycles, trends, and potential reversal patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Drunkard's walk
A drunkard's walk , formally known as a random walk , is a type of stochastic process that models the evolution of a system or variable through successive random steps.
In his article, John Ehlers relates this model to market data. He discusses two first- and second-order partial differential equations, modified for discrete (non-continuous) data, that can represent solutions to the discrete random walk problem: the diffusion equation and the wave equation. According to Ehlers, market data takes on a mixture of two "modes" described by these equations. He theorizes that when "diffusion mode" is dominant, trading success is almost a matter of luck, and when "wave mode" is dominant, indicators may have improved performance.

John Ehlers explains that many recent academic studies affirm that market data has a pink spectrum , meaning the power spectral density of the data is proportional to the wavelengths it contains, like pink noise . A random walk with a pink spectrum suggests that the states of the random variable are correlated and not independent. In other words, the random variable exhibits long-range dependence with respect to previous states.
Autocorrelation function (ACF)
Autocorrelation measures the correlation of a time series with a delayed copy, or lag , of itself. The autocorrelation function (ACF) is a method that evaluates autocorrelation across a range of lags , which can help to identify patterns, trends, and cycles in stochastic market data. Analysts often use ACF to detect and characterize long-range dependence in a time series.
The Autocorrelation Indicator evaluates the ACF of market prices over a fixed range of lags, expressing the results as a color-coded heatmap representing a dynamic periodogram. Ehlers suggests the information from the periodogram can help traders identify different market behaviors, including:
Cycles : Distinguishable as repeated patterns in the periodogram.
Reversals : Indicated by sharp vertical changes in the periodogram when the indicator uses a short data length .
Trends : Indicated by increasing correlation across lags, starting with the shortest, over time.
█ USAGE
This script calculates the Autocorrelation Indicator on an input "Source" series, smoothed by Ehlers' UltimateSmoother filter, and plots several color-coded lines to represent the periodogram's information. Each line corresponds to an analyzed lag, with the shortest lag's line at the bottom of the pane. Green hues in the line indicate a positive correlation for the lag, red hues indicate a negative correlation (anticorrelation), and orange or yellow hues mean the correlation is near zero.
Because Pine has a limit on the number of plots for a single indicator, this script divides the periodogram display into three distinct ranges that cover different lags. To see the full periodogram, add three instances of this script to the chart and set the "Lag range" input for each to a different value, as demonstrated in the chart above.
With a modest autocorrelation length, such as 20 on a "1D" chart, traders can identify seasonal patterns in the price series, which can help to pinpoint cycles and moderate trends. For instance, on the daily ES1! chart above, the indicator shows repetitive, similar patterns through fall 2023 and winter 2023-2024. The green "triangular" shape rising from the zero lag baseline over different time ranges corresponds to seasonal trends in the data.
To identify turning points in the price series, Ehlers recommends using a short autocorrelation length, such as 2. With this length, users can observe sharp, sudden shifts along the vertical axis, which suggest potential turning points from upward to downward or vice versa.
MCDX_SignalThe MCDX indicator (Market Cycle Dynamic Index) is a technical indicator developed by Trung Pham. It is a tool used for analyzing the stock market, often utilized to identify big money flow (Big Money) and evaluate the strength of individual stocks or the overall market.
MCDX is known for its distinctive histogram chart with red and green bars. The red bars typically represent the inflow of big money, while the green bars indicate small money flow or outflows.
Volume Surge Webhook AlertThis TradingView indicator, named "Volume Surge Webhook Alert," is designed to find significant increases in trading volume and send out alerts with key information. It works by looking back at the volume over a certain number of past candlesticks, which you can set using the "Lookback Period" input. The indicator calculates the average volume during this period. Then, it sets a threshold for what counts as a "volume surge." This threshold is a percentage increase over the average volume, and you can adjust this percentage using the "Volume Surge Threshold (%)" input.
When the current candlestick's volume is higher than this threshold, the indicator considers it a volume surge. To help you see this visually, the indicator plots three lines on a separate chart: the average volume (in blue), the current volume (in red), and the threshold volume (in gray circles).
If a volume surge happens, the indicator creates a webhook alert. This alert sends a message in a structured format (like a digital envelope) that contains the following information: the symbol of the stock or cryptocurrency, the timeframe of the chart you're looking at, the current volume, the average volume, the threshold volume, and a simple message saying a volume surge was detected. This alert is sent only once when the candlestick closes with a volume surge.
Additionally, when a volume surge is detected, a small red exclamation mark "!" will appear above that candlestick on the main price chart.
Essentially, this indicator helps traders spot times when trading volume is unusually high, which can sometimes be a sign of important price movements. You can customize how sensitive the indicator is by changing the "Lookback Period" and the "Volume Surge Threshold (%)". The webhook alerts allow you to be notified automatically when these surges occur, so you don't have to constantly watch the charts.
