Script Summary: BARTRADINGPREDV4
This Pine Script indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that overlays on your TradingView chart. It combines moving averages, regression channels, volume analysis, RSI filtering, and pattern recognition to assist in making trading decisions. It also provides a forward-looking projection to help anticipate future price movement.
Key Features & Logic
1. Moving Averages
HMA (High Moving Average): Simple moving average of the high price over a user-defined lookback period.
LMA (Low Moving Average): Simple moving average of the low price over the same period.
HLMA (High-Low Moving Average): The average of HMA and LMA, providing a midline reference.
2. RSI Filtering
Optionally enables a Relative Strength Index (RSI) filter to help avoid trades when the market is not trending strongly.
Only allows buy signals if RSI is above 50, and sell signals if RSI is below 50 (if enabled).
3. Signal Generation
BUY Signal: Triggered when HL2 (average of OHLC) crosses over LMA and (optionally) RSI > 50.
SELL Signal: Triggered when HL2 crosses under HMA and (optionally) RSI < 50.
XSB (Extra Strong Buy): HL2 crosses over HMA, is above HLMA, up volume is greater than down volume, and (optionally) RSI > 50.
XBS (Extra Strong Sell): HL2 crosses under LMA, is below HLMA, down volume is greater than up volume, and (optionally) RSI < 50.
Enable/Disable XSB/XBS: You can turn these signals on or off via script inputs.
4. Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) Levels
TP and SL are dynamically calculated based on the difference between HMA and LMA, providing contextually relevant exit levels.
5. Regression Channel and Prediction
Linear Regression Line: Plots a regression line over the lookback period to show the underlying trend.
ATR Channel: Adds an upper and lower channel around the regression line using ATR (Average True Range) for a realistic prediction envelope.
Forward Projection: Projects the regression line forward by a user-defined number of bars, visually showing where the trend could extend if current momentum persists.
6. Pattern Recognition
Higher Highs/Lows and Lower Highs/Lows: Marks bars where new higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows are set, helping you spot trend continuation or reversal points.
7. Status Table
A table shows the current price’s relationship to HMA, HLMA, and LMA, color-coded for quick visual interpretation.
User Instructions

XSB (blue) and XBS (orange): Indicate extra strong buy/sell conditions.
HH/HL (green triangles): New higher highs/lows.
LH/LL (red triangles): New lower highs/lows.
Watch the regression channel: The yellow regression line shows the trend; the shaded band indicates expected volatility.
Check the projection: The dashed magenta line projects the regression trend forward, giving a visual target for price continuation.
Use the table: Quickly see if price is above or below each moving average.
Interpreting the Prediction Aspects
Regression Line & Channel
Regression Line (Yellow): Represents the best-fit line of price over the lookback period, showing overall trend direction.
ATR Channel: The upper and lower bands (yellow, semi-transparent) account for typical volatility, suggesting a range where price is likely to stay if the trend continues.
Forward Projection
Dashed Magenta Line: Projects the regression line forward by the specified number of bars, using the current slope. This is a trend continuation forecast—not a guarantee, but a statistically reasonable path if current conditions persist.
How to use: If price is respecting the regression trend and within the channel, the projection provides a visual target for where price might go in the near future.
TP/SL Levels
TP (Take Profit): Suggests a price target above the current HL2, based on recent volatility.
SL (Stop Loss): Suggests a protective stop below HL2.
Best Practices & Warnings
No indicator is perfect! Always combine signals with your own analysis and risk management.
Regression projection is not a crystal ball: It simply extends the current trend, which can and will change, especially after big news or at support/resistance.
Use on liquid, trending assets for best results.
Adjust lookback and ATR settings for your market and timeframe.
Summary Table Example
Price vs HMA vs HLMA vs LMA
43000 +100 +50 -20
Green: Price is above average (bullish).
Red: Price is below average (bearish).
Yellow: Price is very close to the average (neutral).
Final Notes
This script is designed to be a multi-tool for trend trading and prediction, combining classic and modern techniques. The forward projection helps visualize possible future price action, while signals and overlays keep you informed of trend shifts and trade opportunities.

Volume Data Table (Real-time & Historical Volume Analysis)Volume Data Table (Real-time & Historical Volume Analysis)
Overview:
The Volume Data Table indicator is a powerful tool designed to provide concise, real-time, and historical volume insights directly on your chart. It aggregates critical volume metrics into an organized, customizable table, making it incredibly easy to identify unusual volume activity, sudden surges, or sustained interest in a particular asset.
This indicator is perfect for traders who rely on volume analysis to confirm price movements, spot potential reversals, or gauge market conviction.
Key Features & How It Works:
Real-time Volume Metrics:
The table prominently displays the volume data for the current (last) candle, including:
Time: The precise time of the current candle's close, formatted in IST (Indian Standard Time - UTC+5:30) for your convenience.
Volume: The total volume for the current candle, smartly formatted in K (Thousands) or M (Millions) for readability.
Change % (Chg%): The percentage change in volume compared to the immediately preceding candle. This helps you quickly spot sudden increases or decreases in trading activity.
Vs 4-Avg % (vs4Avg%): The percentage change in volume compared to the average volume of the last 4 preceding candles. This is crucial for identifying volume surges or drops relative to recent historical activity, which can signal significant market events.
Configurable Historical Data:
Beyond the current candle, you can customize how many previous candles' volume data you wish to display. A simple input setting allows you to choose from 1 to 20 historical rows, giving you flexibility to review recent volume trends. Each historical row also provides its own "Change %" and "Vs 4-Avg %" for detailed analysis of past candle activity.
Intuitive Color-Coding:
Percentage change values are intuitively color-coded for instant visual cues:
Green: Indicates a positive (increase) in volume percentage.
Red: Indicates a negative (decrease) in volume percentage.
Clean & Organized Table Display:
The indicator presents all this data in a neat, easy-to-read table positioned at the top-right of your chart. The table automatically adjusts its height based on the number of historical rows you choose, ensuring a compact and efficient use of screen space.
Ideal Use Cases:
Volume Confirmation: Quickly confirm the conviction behind price movements. A strong price move on high "Vs 4-Avg %" volume often indicates higher reliability.
Spotting Abnormal Volume: Identify candles with unusually high or low volume compared to their recent average, which can precede or accompany significant price action.
Momentum Analysis: Understand if buying/selling pressure is increasing or decreasing over recent periods.
Scalping & Day Trading: The real-time updates and concise format make it highly effective for fast-paced short-term decision-making.
Complements Other Indicators: Use it alongside price action, candlestick patterns, or other technical indicators for a more robust analysis.
Customization Options:
Number of Historical Rows: Adjust Number of Historical Rows from 1 to 20 to tailor the depth of your historical volume review.
Important Disclaimer:
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. It is not financial advice. Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk, and you could lose money. Always perform your own research and risk management.
DCA Investment Tracker Pro [tradeviZion]DCA Investment Tracker Pro: Educational DCA Analysis Tool
An educational indicator that helps analyze Dollar-Cost Averaging strategies by comparing actual performance with historical data calculations.
---
💡 Why I Created This Indicator
As someone who practices Dollar-Cost Averaging, I was frustrated with constantly switching between spreadsheets, calculators, and charts just to understand how my investments were really performing. I wanted to see everything in one place - my actual performance, what I should expect based on historical data, and most importantly, visualize where my strategy could take me over the long term .
What really motivated me was watching friends and family underestimate the incredible power of consistent investing. When Napoleon Bonaparte first learned about compound interest, he reportedly exclaimed "I wonder it has not swallowed the world" - and he was right! Yet most people can't visualize how their $500 monthly contributions today could become substantial wealth decades later.
Traditional DCA tracking tools exist, but they share similar limitations:
Require manual data entry and complex spreadsheets
Use fixed assumptions that don't reflect real market behavior
Can't show future projections overlaid on actual price charts
Lose the visual context of what's happening in the market
Make compound growth feel abstract rather than tangible
I wanted to create something different - a tool that automatically analyzes real market history, detects volatility periods, and shows you both current performance AND educational projections based on historical patterns right on your TradingView charts. As Warren Buffett said: "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." This tool helps you visualize your financial tree growing over time.
This isn't just another calculator - it's a visualization tool that makes the magic of compound growth impossible to ignore.

🔬 Pine Script Code Examples
Core DCA Calculations:
// Calculate total invested over time
months_elapsed = (year - start_year) * 12 + month - 1
total_invested = initial_investment + (monthly_contribution * months_elapsed)
// Compound growth formula for initial investment
theoretical_initial_growth = initial_investment * math.pow(1 + annual_return, years_elapsed)
// Future Value of Annuity for monthly contributions
monthly_rate = annual_return / 12
fv_contributions = monthly_contribution * ((math.pow(1 + monthly_rate, months_elapsed) - 1) / monthly_rate)
// Total expected value
theoretical_total = theoretical_initial_growth + fv_contributions
Volatility Detection Logic:
// Detect extreme years for volatility adjustment
extreme_years = 0
for i = 1 to historical_years
yearly_return = ((price_current / price_i_years_ago) - 1) * 100
if yearly_return > 100 or yearly_return < -50
extreme_years += 1
// Use median approach for high volatility stocks
high_volatility = (extreme_years / historical_years) > 0.2
calculated_return = high_volatility ? median_of_returns : standard_cagr
Performance Metrics:
// Calculate key performance indicators
absolute_gain = actual_value - total_invested
total_return_pct = (absolute_gain / total_invested) * 100
roi_initial = ((actual_value - initial_investment) / initial_investment) * 100
cagr = (math.pow(actual_value / initial_investment, 1 / years_elapsed) - 1) * 100

📊 Real-World Examples
See the indicator in action across different investment types:
Stable Index Investments:
AMEX:SPY (SPDR S&P 500) - Shows steady compound growth with standard CAGR calculations
Classic DCA success story: $60K initial + $500/month starting 2020. The indicator shows SPY's historical 10%+ returns, demonstrating how consistent broad market investing builds wealth over time. Notice the smooth theoretical growth line vs actual performance tracking.
MIL:VUAA (Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS) - Shows both data limitation and solution approaches
Data limitation example: VUAA shows "Manual (Auto Failed)" and "No Data" when default 10-year historical setting exceeds available data. The indicator gracefully falls back to manual percentage input while maintaining all DCA calculations and projections.
MIL:VUAA (Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS) - European ETF with successful 5-year auto calculation
Solution demonstration: By adjusting historical period to 5 years (matching available data), VUAA auto calculation works perfectly. Shows how users can optimize settings for newer assets. European market exposure with EUR denomination, demonstrating DCA effectiveness across different markets and currencies.
NYSE:BRK.B (Berkshire Hathaway) - Quality value investment with Warren Buffett's proven track record
Value investing approach: Berkshire Hathaway's legendary performance through DCA lens. The indicator demonstrates how quality companies compound wealth over decades. Lower volatility than tech stocks = standard CAGR calculations used.
High-Volatility Growth Stocks:
NASDAQ:NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) - Demonstrates volatility-adjusted calculations for extreme price swings
High-volatility example: NVIDIA's explosive AI boom creates extreme years that trigger volatility detection. The indicator automatically switches to "Median (High Vol): 50%" calculations for conservative projections, protecting against unrealistic future estimates based on outlier performance periods.
NASDAQ:TSLA (Tesla) - Shows how 10-year analysis can stabilize volatile tech stocks
Stable long-term growth: Despite Tesla's reputation for volatility, the 10-year historical analysis (34.8% CAGR) shows consistent enough performance that volatility detection doesn't trigger. Demonstrates how longer timeframes can smooth out extreme periods for more reliable projections.
NASDAQ:META (Meta Platforms) - Shows stable tech stock analysis using standard CAGR calculations
Tech stock with stable growth: Despite being a tech stock and experiencing the 2022 crash, META's 10-year history shows consistent enough performance (23.98% CAGR) that volatility detection doesn't trigger. The indicator uses standard CAGR calculations, demonstrating how not all tech stocks require conservative median adjustments.
Notice how the indicator automatically detects high-volatility periods and switches to median-based calculations for more conservative projections, while stable investments use standard CAGR methods.

Multi Scanner Plot & Table V1Here's how to interpret each column in the table:
Price vs MAs:
What it shows: Where the current price is relative to the short-term (e.g., 20-period) and long-term (e.g., 50-period) Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) calculated on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation:
Above Both (Green background): Price is above both the short and long MAs. Generally considered a bullish sign for the current trend.
Below Both (Red background): Price is below both MAs. Generally considered a bearish sign.
Mixed (Gray background): Price is between the two MAs (e.g., above the short but below the long, or vice-versa). Indicates indecision or a potential trend change.
RSI Value:
What it shows: The actual numerical value of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculated on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation: Just the raw RSI number (e.g., 65.32). The background is always gray. You compare this value to standard overbought/oversold levels (like 70/30) or the levels defined in the script's inputs.
RSI Status:
What it shows: Interprets the RSI Value based on the Overbought/Oversold levels set in the script's inputs (default 70/30). Calculated on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation:
Overbought (Red background): RSI is above the overbought level (e.g., > 70). Suggests the asset might be due for a pullback or reversal downwards. Red indicates a potentially bearish condition.
Oversold (Green background): RSI is below the oversold level (e.g., < 30). Suggests the asset might be due for a bounce or reversal upwards. Green indicates a potentially bullish condition.
Neutral (Gray background): RSI is between the oversold and overbought levels.
Last Sig Price:
What it shows: The price level where the last "SIG NOW" Buy or Sell signal occurred on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation: Helps you see the entry price of the most recent short-term signal generated by this script. The background color matches the signal type: Green for the last Buy signal, Red for the last Sell signal. N/A if no signal has occurred yet.
SIG NOW:
What it shows: This is the main short-term signal generated by the script based on conditions on your current chart's timeframe. It combines the "Price vs MAs" status and specific RSI conditions (price must be above/below both MAs and RSI must be within a certain range defined in the inputs).
Interpretation:
BUY (Green background): The specific buy conditions are met right now. (Price above both MAs AND RSI is strong but not necessarily overbought).
SELL (Red background): The specific sell conditions are met right now. (Price below both MAs AND RSI is weak but not necessarily oversold).
NEUTRAL (Gray background): Neither the Buy nor the Sell conditions are currently met.
ALERT:
What it shows: Flags unusual volume activity on the current bar compared to the recent average volume (calculated on your current chart's timeframe).
Interpretation:
SPIKE (Yellow background, black text): Current volume is significantly higher than the recent average (defined by the Volume Spike Multiplier). Can indicate strong interest or a potential climax.
DUMP (Purple background): Current volume is significantly lower than the recent average (defined by the Volume Dump Multiplier). Can indicate fading interest.
NONE (Gray background): Volume is within the normal range for the lookback period.
SD$:
What it shows: The price level where the last Volume Spike or Dump occurred on your current chart's timeframe.
Interpretation: Shows the price associated with the most recent significant volume event. The background color indicates the type of the last event: Green if the last event was a Spike, Red if the last event was a Dump. N/A if no Spike/Dump has occurred yet.
BB Value (%B):
What it shows: This relates to Bollinger Bands, but specifically calculated on a Higher Timeframe (HTF) that you can set in the inputs (e.g., Daily BBs while viewing an Hourly chart). It shows the Bollinger Band Percent B (%B) value for that HTF. %B measures where the HTF closing price is relative to the HTF upper and lower bands.
Interpretation:
Value > 1: HTF price closed above the HTF upper Bollinger Band.
Value < 0: HTF price closed below the HTF lower Bollinger Band.
Value between 0 and 1: HTF price closed within the HTF Bollinger Bands (e.g., 0.5 is exactly on the middle band).
The background is always gray.
LTS (Long Term Signal):
What it shows: A signal derived only from the Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bollinger Bands.
Interpretation:
BUY (Green background): The HTF price closed above the HTF upper Bollinger Band (see BB Value > 1). Considered a strong bullish signal from the higher timeframe perspective.
SELL (Red background): The HTF price closed below the HTF lower Bollinger Band (see BB Value < 0). Considered a strong bearish signal from the higher timeframe perspective.
NEUTRAL (Gray background): The HTF price closed within the HTF Bollinger Bands.
How to Understand Bollinger Bands and Signals in this Context:
Bollinger Bands are primarily used for the Long Term Signal (LTS) column. This script calculates BBs on a higher timeframe (you choose which one, or it defaults to the chart's timeframe if left blank).
The "LTS" signal triggers:
A BUY when the price on that higher timeframe closes above its upper Bollinger Band. This often indicates strong momentum or a potential breakout.
A SELL when the price on that higher timeframe closes below its lower Bollinger Band. This often indicates strong negative momentum or a potential breakdown.
The "BB Value" column gives you the raw %B number from that same higher timeframe, showing you exactly where the price is relative to the bands (is it just barely above/below, or way outside?).
The script does not directly use Bollinger Bands from the current chart timeframe for the "SIG NOW" or other table signals. The main short-term signals ("SIG NOW") rely on Moving Averages and RSI on the current timeframe. The LTS provides a longer-term perspective using HTF Bollinger Bands.
In summary: Look at the table to quickly gauge:
Short-term trend (Price vs MAs).
Short-term momentum (RSI Status, SIG NOW).
Recent short-term entry points (Last Sig Price).
Current volume anomalies (ALERT).
Long-term strength/weakness based on HTF Bollinger Bands (LTS, BB Value).
Combine these pieces of information to get a more rounded view of the current market conditions according to this specific script's logic.

Setup:
Set Moving Average Type to EMA, Length to 20.
Set Moving Average Crossover to “MA vs SMA50”.
Enable Show Buy/Sell Signals and choose “arrowup” for buy, “arrowdown” for sell.
Select “Emerald Spark” for candlestick colors to highlight volume surges.
Usage: Buy when the EMA20 crosses above the SMA50 (green arrow appears) and volume is high (dark green candles). Sell when the EMA20 crosses below the SMA50 (red arrow). Set alerts for real-time notifications.
Scalping with Custom Price Alerts:
Scenario: A day trader monitors Tesla (TSLA) on a 5-minute chart and wants alerts at specific support/resistance levels.
Setup:
Set Custom Buy Alert Price to 150.00 (support) and Custom Sell Alert Price to 160.00 (resistance).
Use “labelup” for buy signals and “labeldown” for sell signals.
Keep Moving Average Crossover as “None” to focus on price alerts.
Usage: Receive a sound alert and label when TSLA crosses 150.00 (buy) or 160.00 (sell). Use volume-colored candles to confirm momentum before entering trades.
When NOT to Use Easy MA Signals
High-Frequency Trading: Reason: The indicator relies on moving averages and volume, which may lag in ultra-fast markets (e.g., sub-second trades). High-frequency traders may need specialized tools with real-time tick data.
Alternative: Use order book or market depth indicators for faster execution.
Low-Volatility or Sideways Markets:
Reason: MA crossovers and custom price alerts can generate false signals in choppy, range-bound markets, leading to whipsaws.
Alternative: Use oscillators like RSI or Bollinger Bands to trade within ranges.
This indicator is tailored more towards less experienced traders. And as always, paper trade until you are comfortable with how this works if you're unfamiliar with trading! We hope you enjoy this and have great success. Thanks for your interested in Easy MA Signals!
Stochastic Overlay - Regression Channel (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Stochastic Overlay – Regression Channel (Zeiierman) is a next-generation visualization tool that transforms the traditional Stochastic Oscillator into a dynamic price-based overlay.
Instead of leaving momentum trapped in a lower subwindow, this indicator projects the Stochastic oscialltor directly onto price itself — allowing traders to visually interpret momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and market strength without ever taking their eyes off price action.
⚪ In simple terms:
▸ The Bands = The Stochastic Oscillator — but on price.
▸ The Midline = Stochastic 50 level
▸ Upper Band = Stochastic Overbought Threshold
▸ Lower Band = Stochastic Oversold Threshold
When the price moves above the midline → it’s the same as the oscillator moving above 50
When the price breaks above the upper band → it’s the same as Stochastic entering overbought.
When the price reaches the lower band →, think of it like Stochastic being oversold.
This makes market conditions visually intuitive. You’re literally watching the oscillator live on the price chart.
█ How It Works
The indicator layers 3 distinct technical elements into one clean view:
⚪ Stochastic Momentum Engine
Tracks overbought/oversold conditions and directional strength using:
%K Line → Momentum of price
%D Line → Smoothing filter of %K
Overbought/Oversold Bands → Highlight potential reversal zones
⚪ Volatility Adaptive Bands
Dynamic bands plotted above and below price using:
ATR * Stochastic Scaling → Creates wider bands during volatile periods & tighter bands in calm conditions
Basis → Moving average centerline (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, RMA selectable)
This means:
→ In strong trends: Bands expand
→ In consolidations: Bands contract
⚪ Regression Channel
Projects trend direction with different models:
Logarithmic → Captures non-linear growth (perfect for crypto or exponential stocks)
Linear → Classic regression fit
Adaptive → Dynamically adjusts sensitivity
Leading → Projects trend further ahead (aggressive mode)
Channels include:
Midline → Fair value trend
Upper/Lower Bounds → Deviation-based support/resistance
⚪ Heatmap - Bull & Bear Power Strength
Visual heatmeter showing:
% dominance of bulls vs bears (based on close > or < Band Basis)
Automatic normalization regardless of timeframe
Table display on-chart for quick visual insight
Dynamic highlighting when extreme levels are reached
⚪ Trend Candlestick Coloring
Bars auto-color based on trend filter:
Above Basis → Bullish Color
Below Basis → Bearish Color
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Trading
→ Use Band direction + Regression Channel to identify trend alignment
→ Longs favored when price holds above the Basis
→ Shorts favored when price stays below the Basis
→ Use the Bull & Bear heatmap to asses if the bulls or the bears are in control.
⚪ Mean Reversion
→ Look for price to interact with Upper or Lower Band extremes
→ Stochastic reaching OB/OS zones further supports reversals
⚪ Momentum Confirmation
→ Crossovers between %K and %D can confirm continuation or divergence signals
→ Especially powerful when happening at band boundaries
⚪ Strength Heatmap
→ Quickly visualize current buyer vs seller control
→ Sharp spikes in Bull Power = Aggressive buying
→ Sharp spikes in Bear Power = Heavy selling pressure
█ Why It Useful
This is not a typical Stochastic or regression tool. The tool is designed for traders who want to:
React dynamically to price volatility
Map momentum into volatility context
Use adaptive regression channels across trend styles
Visualize bull vs bear power in real-time
Follow trends with built-in reversal logic
█ Settings
Stochastic Settings
Stochastic Length → Period of calculation. Higher = smoother, Lower = faster signals.
%K Smoothing → Smooths the Stochastic line itself.
%D Smoothing → Smooths the moving average of %K for slower signals.
Stochastic Band
Band Length → Length of the Moving Average Basis.
Volatility Multiplier → Controls band width via ATR scaling.
Band Type → Choose MA type (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, RMA).
Regression Channel
Regression Type → Logarithmic / Linear / Adaptive / Leading.
Regression Length → Number of bars for regression calculation.
Heatmap Settings
Heatmap Length → Number of bars to calculate bull/bear dominance.

Multi-Timeframe EMAsMulti Timeframe EMA's
The 'Multi-Timeframe EMA Band Comparison' indicator is a tool designed to analyze trend direction across multiple timeframes using Exponential Moving Averages. it calculates the 50, 100, and 200 period EMAs for fiver user defined timeframes and compares their relationships to provide a visual snapshot of bullish or bearish momentum.
How it Works:
EMA Calculations: For each selected timeframe, the indicator computes the 50, 100, and 200 period EMAs based on the closing price.
Band Comparisons: Three key relationships are evaluated:
50 EMA vs 100 EMA
100 EMA vs 200 EMA
50 EMA vs 200 EMA
Scoring System: Each comparison is assigned a score:
🟢 (Green Circle): The shorter EMA is above the longer EMA, signaling bullish momentum.
🔴 (Red Circle): The shorter EMA is below the longer EMA, signaling bearish momentum.
⚪️ (White Circle): The EMAs are equal or data is unavailable (rare).
Average Score:
An overall average score is calculated across all 15 comparisons ranging from 1 to -1, displayed with two decimal places and color coded.
Customization:
This indicator is fully customizable from the timeframe setting to the color of the table. The only specific part that is not changeable is the EMA bands.
Econometrica by [SS]This is Econometrica, an indicator that aims to bridge a big gap between the resources available for analysis of fundamental data and its impact on tickers and price action.
I have noticed a general dearth of available indicators that offer insight into how fundamentals impact a ticker and provide guidance on how they these economic factors influence ticker behaviour.
Enter Econometrica. Econometrica is a math based indicator that aims to co-integrate and model indicator price action in relation to critical economic metrics.
Econometrica supports the following US based economic data:
CPI
Non-Farm Payroll
Core Inflation
US Money Supply
US Central Bank Balance Sheet
GDP
PCE
Let's go over the functions of Econometrica.
Creating a Regression Cointegrated Model
The first thing Econometrica does is creates a co-integrated regression, as you see in the main chart, predicting ticker value ranges from fundamental economic data.
You can visualize this in the main chart above, but here are some other examples:
SPY vs Core Inflation:
BA vs PCE:
QQQ vs US Balance Sheet:
The band represents the anticipated range the ticker should theoretically fall in based on the underlying economic value. The indicator will breakdown the relationship between the economic indicator and the ticker more precisely. In the images above, you can see how there are some metrics provided, including Stationairty, lagged correlation, Integrated Correlation and R2. Let's discuss these very briefly:
Stationarity: checks to ensure that the relationship between the economic indicator and ticker is stationary. Stationary data is important for making unbiased inferences and projections, so having data that is stationary is valuable.
Lagged Correlation: This is a very interesting metric. Lagged correlation means whether there is a delay in the economic indicator and the response of the ticker. Typically, you will observed a lagged correlation between an economic indicator and price of a ticker, as it can take some time for economic changes to reach the market. This lagged correlation will provide you with how long it takes for the economic indicator to catch up with the ticker in months.
Integrated Correlation: This metric tells you how good of a fit the regression bands are in relation to the ticker price. A higher correlation, means the model is better at consistent and accurate information about the anticipated range for the ticker in relation to the economic indicator.
R2: Provides information on the variance and degree of model fit. A high R2 value means that the model is capable of explaining a large amount of variance between the economic indicator and the ticker price action.
Explaining the Relationship
Owning to the fact that the indicator is a bit on the mathy side (it has to be to do this kind of task), I have included ability for the indicator to explain and make suggestions based on the underlying data. It can assess the model's fit and make suggestions for tweaking. It can also explain the implications of the data being presented in the model.
Here is an example with QQQ and the US Balance Sheet:
This helps to simplify and interpret the results you are looking at.
Forecasting the Economic Indicator
In addition to assessing the economic indicator's impact on the ticker, the indicator is also capable of forecasting out the economic indicator over the next 25 releases.
Here is an example of the CPI forecast:
Overall use of the indicator
The indicator is meant to bridge the gap between Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis.
Any trader who is attune to fundamentals would benefit from this, as this provides you with objective data on how and to what extent fundamental and economic data impacts tickers.
It can help affirm hypothesis and dispel myths objectively.
It also omits the need from having to perform these types of analyses outside of Tradingview (i.e. in excel, R or Python), as you can get the data in just a few licks of enabling the indicator.
Conclusion
I have tried to make this indicator as user friendly as possible. Though it uses a lot of math, it is fairly straight forward to interpret.
The band plotted can be considered the fair market value or FMV of the ticker based on the underlying economic data, provided the indicator tells you that the relationship is significant (and it will blatantly give you this information verbatim, you don't have to interpret the math stuff).
This is US economic data only. It does not pull economic data from other countries. You can absolutely see how US economic data impacts other markets like the TSX, BANKNIFTY, NIFTY, DAX etc. but the indicator is only pulling US economic data.
That is it!
I hope you enjoy it and find this helpful!
Thanks everyone and safe trades as always 🚀🚀🚀
STRX - Correlation DominationThis indicator displays the correlation among three selected assets (for example, Gold, Dollar Index, and Nasdaq) on a custom timeframe. A table positioned at the top-right corner of the chart lets you quickly see the correlation between:
Asset 1 vs Asset 2
Asset 1 vs Asset 3
Asset 2 vs Asset 3
Correlations are calculated using the Pearson correlation function (ta.correlation). If the correlation is greater than or equal to 0.4, the value appears in green (strong positive correlation). If it is less than or equal to -0.4, it appears in red (strong negative correlation). Otherwise, it is displayed in yellow (weak correlation).
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Compare up to three instruments at once on your chosen timeframe.
Customizable period: Use the “Correlation Period” setting to adjust the correlation calculation window.
Clear table format: The results are immediately visible in an easy-to-read table.

ICT Professional Accumulation DistributionICT Professional Accumulation Distribution (ICT AD) provides a x-ray view into market accumulation and distribution. You can literally see the institutions at work.
The indicator consists of two cumulative lines derived from:
Cumulative change from open to close
Cumulative change from previous close to new open
By overlaying these two cumulative lines, you can detect real meaningful divergence that is narrative based not mathematically derived. You're seeing the real works of algorithms in play working in this area.
These divergences are only useful at extremes (topping or bottoming formations), not while trending. It will probably confirm your suspicion about making a important high or low.
This works on all timeframes but is most impactful on the daily.
How to use:
Method 1:
Enable the option for "Show Open vs Close."
Calculate the shift by subtracting the "Open vs Close" line value from the ICT Accumulation/Distribution (AD) line value.
Look for divergences between the two cumulative lines.
Method 2:
Switch the chart's display mode to "Line View" (representing the Open vs Close).
look for divergences between the line chart and the ICT AD line.
BTC x M2 Divergence (Weekly)### Why the "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" Indicator Should Work
IMPORTANT
- Weekly only indicator
- Combine it with BTC Halving Cycle Profit for better results
The "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" indicator leverages the relationship between macroeconomic factors (M2 money supply) and Bitcoin price movements, combined with technical analysis tools like RSI, to provide actionable trading signals. Here's a detailed rationale on why this indicator should be effective:
1. **Macroeconomic Influence**:
- **M2 Money Supply**: Represents the total money supply, including cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near money. Changes in M2 reflect liquidity in the economy, which can influence asset prices, including Bitcoin.
- **Bitcoin Sensitivity to Liquidity**: Bitcoin, being a digital asset, often reacts to changes in liquidity conditions. An increase in money supply can lead to higher asset prices as more money chases fewer assets, while a decrease can signal tightening conditions and lower prices.
2. **Divergence Analysis**:
- **Economic Divergence**: The indicator calculates the divergence between the percentage changes in M2 and Bitcoin prices. This divergence can highlight discrepancies between Bitcoin's price movements and broader economic conditions.
- **Market Inefficiencies**: Large divergences may indicate inefficiencies or imbalances that could lead to price corrections or trends. For example, if M2 is increasing (indicating more liquidity) but Bitcoin is not rising proportionately, it might suggest a potential upward correction in Bitcoin's price.
3. **Normalization and Smoothing**:
- **Normalized Divergence**: Normalizing the divergence to a consistent scale (-100 to 100) allows for easier comparison and interpretation over time, making the signals more robust.
- **Smoothing with EMA**: Applying Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to the normalized divergence helps to reduce noise and identify the underlying trend more clearly. This double-smoothed divergence provides a clearer signal by filtering out short-term volatility.
4. **RSI Integration**:
- **RSI as a Momentum Indicator**: RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, indicating overbought or oversold conditions. Normalizing the RSI and incorporating it into the divergence analysis helps to confirm the strength of the signals.
- **Combining Divergence with RSI**: By using RSI in conjunction with divergence, the indicator gains an additional layer of confirmation. For instance, a bullish divergence combined with an oversold RSI can be a strong buy signal.
5. **Dynamic Zones and Sensitivity**:
- **Good DCA Zones**: Highlighting zones where the divergence is significantly positive (good DCA zones) indicates periods where Bitcoin might be undervalued relative to economic conditions, suggesting good buying opportunities.
- **Red Zones**: Marking zones with extremely negative divergence, combined with RSI confirmation, identifies potential market tops or bearish conditions. This helps traders avoid buying into overbought markets or consider selling.
- **Peak Detection**: The sensitivity setting for detecting upside down peaks allows for early identification of potential market bottoms, providing timely entry points for traders.
6. **Visual Cues and Alerts**:
- **Clear Visualization**: The plots and background colors provide immediate visual feedback, making it easier for traders to spot significant conditions without deep analysis.
- **Alerts**: Built-in alerts for key conditions (good DCA zones, red zones, sell signals) ensure traders can act promptly based on the indicator's signals, enhancing the practicality of the tool.
### Conclusion
The "M2 Money Supply vs BTC Divergence with Normalized RSI" indicator integrates macroeconomic data with technical analysis to offer a comprehensive view of Bitcoin's market conditions. By analyzing the divergence between M2 money supply and Bitcoin prices, normalizing and smoothing the data, and incorporating RSI for momentum confirmation, the indicator provides robust signals for identifying potential buying and selling opportunities. This holistic approach increases the likelihood of capturing significant market movements and making informed trading decisions.
Divergence Indicator [Trendoscope®]🎲 New Divergence Indicator by Trendoscope
Our latest Divergence Indicator revolutionizes the way traders identify market trends and potential reversals. Built upon the robust foundation of the Zigzag Trend Divergence Detector and inline with our recent implementation of the Divergence Goggles indicator, this tool is designed to be intuitive yet powerful, making it an essential addition to any trader's toolkit.
We received several queries on extending the Divergence Goggles to last N bars instead of using an interactive widget. Though it is possible, we thought the better approach is to enable the indicator to use any oscillator and trend indicator in order to define the divergence.
🎯 Key Features
Flexible Oscillator Integration : Choose from a wide range of built-in oscillators or import your own, including options like the innovative Multiband Oscillator. This versatility extends to using volume indicators like OBV for divergence calculations, broadening the scope of analysis.
Trend Identification Versatility : Utilize built-in methods like Zigzag and MA Difference, or integrate external trend indicators. Our system adapts to various methods, ensuring you have the right tools for precise trend identification.
Customizable Zigzag Sensitivity : Adjust the Zigzag based on your chosen oscillator's sensitivity to ensure divergence lines are accurate and visually coherent.
Repainting vs. Delayed Signals : Tailor the indicator to your strategy by choosing between immediate repainting signals and slightly delayed but more stable signals.
🎯 Understanding Divergence: Key Rules
Bullish Divergence
Happens only in downtrend
Observed on Pivot Lows
Price makes lower low whereas oscillator makes higher low, indicating weakness and possible reversal
Bearish Divergence
Happens only in uptrend
Observed on Pivot Highs
Price makes higher high whereas oscillator makes lower high, indicating weakness and possible reversal
Bullish Hidden Divergence
Happens only in uptrend
Observed on Pivot Lows
Price makes higher low, whereas indicator makes lower low due to price consolidation. In bullish trend, this is considered as bullish as the price gets a breather and get ready to surge further.
Bearish Hidden Divergence
Happens only in downtrend
Observed on Pivot Highs
Price makes lower high whereas oscillator makes higher high due to price consolidation. In bearish trend, this is considered as bearish as the price gets a breather and get ready to fall further.
🎯 Visual Insights: Divergence and Hidden Divergence
For a clearer understanding, refer to our visual guides:
🎲 Using the Divergence Indicator: A Step-by-Step Guide
🎯 Step 1 - Selecting the Oscillator
Customize your analysis by choosing from a variety of oscillators or importing your preferred one. Options are available to select a range of built-in oscillators and the loopback length. However, if the oscillator that user want to use is not in the list, they can simply load the oscillator from the indicator library and use it as an external signal.
In our current example, we are using a custom oscillator called - Multiband Oscillator
This also means, the indicator option is not limited to oscillators. Users can even make use of volume indicators such as OBV for the calculation of divergence.
🎯 Step 2 - Choosing the Trend Identification Method
Select from our built-in methods or integrate an external indicator to accurately identify market trends. Trend is one of the key parameters of divergence type identification. Trend can be identified mathematically by various methods. Some of them are as simple as above or below 200 moving average and some can follow trend based indicators such as supertrend and others can be very complex.
To cater for a wider audience, here too we have provided the option to use an external trend indicator. The simple condition for the external trend indicator is that it should return positive value for uptrend and negative value for downtrend.
Other than that, we also have 2 built in trend identification methods.
Zigzag - The trend is defined by the starting pivot of divergence line. If the starting pivot is Higher High or Higher Low, then it is considered uptrend. And if the starting pivot is either Lower Low or Lower High, then we consider it as downtrend.
MA Difference - In this case, the difference between the moving average of pivots joining the divergence line will determine the trend. It is considered uptrend if the moving average increased from starting pivot to ending pivot of the divergence line, and it is considered downtrend if the moving average decreased from starting pivot to the ending pivot of the divergence line.
🎯 Step 3 - Adjusting Zigzag Sensitivity
Fine-tune the Zigzag to match the oscillator's sensitivity, ensuring divergence lines are accurate and visually coherent.
🎯 Step 4 - Managing Repainting
Understand the implications of repainting in the last pivot of the Zigzag and choose between immediate or delayed signals based on your trading strategy. The last pivot of the zigzag repaint by design. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Users can just choose not to use the last pivot, but instead use the last but one for all the calculations. But, this also means, the signals will be delayed.
Indicator provides option to use repainting signal vs delayed signal. If you select the repaint option, the signals are shown immediately as and when they occur. But, there is a possibility that these signals change when the new price candles change zigzag pivot.
If you chose not to select the repaint option, then the divergence signals may lag by a few bars.
RVol LabelThis Code is update version of Code Provided by @ssbukam, Here is Link to his original Code and review the Description
Below is Original Description
1. When chart resolution is Daily or Intraday (D, 4H, 1H, 5min, etc), Relative Volume shows value based on DAILY. RVol is measured on daily basis to compare past N number of days.
2. When resolution is changed to Weekly or Monthly, then Relative Volume shows corresponding value. i.e. Weekly shows weekly relative volume of this week compared to past 'N' weeks. Likewise for Monthly. You would see change in label name. Like, Weekly chart shows W_RVol (Weekly Relative Volume). Likewise, Daily & Intraday shows D_RVol. Monthly shows M_RVol (Monthly Relative Volume).
3. Added a plot (by default hidden) for this specific reason: When you move the cursor to focus specific candle, then Indicator Value displays relative volume of that specific candle. This applies to Intraday as well. So if you're in 1HR chart and move the cursor to a specific candle, Indicator Value shows relative volume for that specific candlestick bar.
4. Updating the script so that text size and location can be customized.
Changes to Updated Label by me
1. Added Today's Volume to the Label
2. Added Total Average Volume to the Label
3. Comparison vs Both in Single Line and showing how much volume has traded vs the average volume for that time of the day
4. Aesthetic Look of the Label
How to Use Relative Volume for Trading
Using Relative Volume (RVol) in trading can be a valuable tool to help you identify potential trading opportunities and gain insight into market behavior. Here are some ways to use RVol in your trading strategy:
Identifying High-Volume Breakouts: RVol can help you spot potential breakouts when the volume surges significantly above its average. High RVol during a breakout suggests strong market interest, increasing the probability of a sustained move in the direction of the breakout.
Confirming Trends and Reversals: RVol can act as a confirmation tool for trends and reversals. A trend accompanied by rising RVol indicates a strong and sustainable move. Conversely, a trend with declining RVol might suggest a weakening trend or potential reversal.
Spotting Volume Divergence: When the price is moving in one direction, but RVol is declining or not confirming the move, it may indicate a divergence. This discrepancy could suggest a potential reversal or trend change.
Support and Resistance Confirmation: High RVol near key support or resistance levels can indicate potential price reactions at those levels. This confirmation can be valuable in determining whether a level is likely to hold or break.
Filtering Trade Signals: Incorporate RVol into your existing trading strategy as a filter. For example, you might consider taking trades only if RVol is above a certain threshold, ensuring that you focus on high-impact trading opportunities.
Avoiding Low-Volume Traps: Low RVol can indicate a lack of interest or participation in the market. In such situations, price movements may be erratic and less reliable, so it's often wise to avoid trading during low RVol periods.
Monitoring News Events: Around significant news events or earnings releases, RVol can help you gauge the market's reaction to the information. High RVol during such events can present trading opportunities but be cautious of increased volatility and potential gaps.
Adjusting Trade Size: During periods of extremely high RVol, it might be prudent to adjust your position size to account for higher risk.
Using Relative Volume in Morning Session
If the Volume traded in first 15 minute to 30 Minutes is already at 50% or 100% depending upon the ticker, it means that it is going to have very high Volume vs average by end of the day.
This gives me conviction for Long or Short Trades
Remember that RVol is not a standalone indicator; it works best when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools. Additionally, RVol's effectiveness may vary across different markets and trading strategies. Therefore, backtesting and validating the use of RVol in your trading approach is essential.
Lastly, risk management is crucial in trading. While RVol can provide valuable insights, it cannot guarantee profitable trades. Always use appropriate risk management strategies, such as setting stop-loss levels, and avoid overexposing yourself to the market based solely on RVol readings.
Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.

CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays cumulative volume delta in candle form. It uses intrabar information to obtain more precise volume delta information than methods using only the chart's timeframe.
█ CONCEPTS
Bar polarity
By bar polarity , we mean the direction of a bar, which is determined by looking at the bar's close vs its open .
Intrabars
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. Each 1H chart bar of a 24x7 market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour. Mining information from intrabars can be useful in that it offers traders visibility on the activity inside a chart bar.
Lower timeframes (LTFs)
A lower timeframe is a timeframe that is smaller than the chart's timeframe. This script uses a LTF to access intrabars. The lower the LTF, the more intrabars are analyzed, but the less chart bars can display CVD information because there is a limit to the total number of intrabars that can be analyzed.
Volume delta
The volume delta concept divides a bar's volume in "up" and "down" volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down volume from up volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down volume within a bar. The simplest techniques use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which usually limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available.
This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating volume delta. In the context where historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView, intrabar analysis is the most precise technique to calculate volume delta on historical bars on our charts. Our Volume Profile indicators use it. Other volume delta indicators in our Community Scripts such as the Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to achieve more precise volume delta calculations, but that method cannot be used on historical bars, so those indicators only work in real time.
This is the logic we use to assign intrabar volume to up or down slots:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's volume determined, the up volumes are added and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is volume delta for that chart bar.
█ FEATURES
CVD Candles
Cumulative Volume Delta Candles present volume delta information as it evolves during a period of time.
This is how each candle's levels are calculated:
• open : Each candle's' open level is the cumulative volume delta for the current period at the start of the bar.
This value becomes zero on the first candle following a CVD reset.
The candles after the first one always open where the previous candle closed.
The candle's high, low and close levels are then calculated by adding or subtracting a volume value to the open.
• high : The highest volume delta value found in intrabars. If it is not higher than the volume delta for the bar, then that candle will have no upper wick.
• low : The lowest volume delta value found in intrabars. If it is not lower than the volume delta for the bar, then that candle will have no lower wick.
• close : The aggregated volume delta for all intrabars. If volume delta is positive for the chart bar, then the candle's close will be higher than its open, and vice versa.
The candles are plotted in one of two configurable colors, depending on the polarity of volume delta for the bar.
CVD resets
The "cumulative" part of the indicator's name stems from the fact that calculations accumulate during a period of time. This allows you to analyze the progression of volume delta across manageable chunks, which is often more useful than looking at volume delta cumulated from the beginning of a chart's history.
You can configure the reset period using the "CVD Resets" input, which offers the following selections:
• None : Calculations do not reset.
• On a fixed higher timeframe : Calculations reset on the higher timeframe you select in the "Fixed higher timeframe" field.
• At a fixed time that you specify.
• At the beginning of the regular session .
• On a stepped higher timeframe : Calculations reset on a higher timeframe automatically stepped using the chart's timeframe and following these rules:
Chart TF HTF
< 1min 1H
< 3H 1D
<= 12H 1W
< 1W 1M
>= 1W 1Y
The indicator's background shows where resets occur.
Intrabar precision
The precision of calculations increases with the number of intrabars analyzed for each chart bar. It is controlled through the script's "Intrabar precision" input, which offers the following selections:
• Least precise, covering many chart bars
• Less precise, covering some chart bars
• More precise, covering less chart bars
• Most precise, 1min intrabars
As there is a limit to the number of intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, a tradeoff occurs between the number of intrabars analyzed per chart bar and the chart bars for which calculations are possible.
Total volume candles
You can choose to display candles showing the total intrabar volume for the chart bar. This provides you with more context to evaluate a bar's volume delta by showing it relative to the sum of intrabar volume. Note that because of the reasons explained in the "NOTES" section further down, the total volume is the sum of all intrabar volume rather than the volume of the bar at the chart's timeframe.
Total volume candles can be configured with their own up and down colors. You can also control the opacity of their bodies to make them more or less prominent. This publication's chart shows the indicator with total volume candles. They are turned off by default, so you will need to choose to display them in the script's inputs for them to plot.
Divergences
Divergences occur when the polarity of volume delta does not match that of the chart bar. You can identify divergences by coloring the CVD candles differently for them, or by coloring the indicator's background.
Information box
An information box in the lower-left corner of the indicator displays the HTF used for resets, the LTF used for intrabars, and the average quantity of intrabars per chart bar. You can hide the box using the script's inputs.
█ INTERPRETATION
The first thing to look at when analyzing CVD candles is the side of the zero line they are on, as this tells you if CVD is generally bullish or bearish. Next, one should consider the relative position of successive candles, just as you would with a price chart. Are successive candles trending up, down, or stagnating? Keep in mind that whatever trend you identify must be considered in the context of where it appears with regards to the zero line; an uptrend in a negative CVD (below the zero line) may not be as powerful as one taking place in positive CVD values, but it may also predate a movement into positive CVD territory. The same goes with stagnation; a trader in a long position will find stagnation in positive CVD territory less worrisome than stagnation under the zero line.
After consideration of the bigger picture, one can drill down into the details. Exactly what you are looking for in markets will, of course, depend on your trading methodology, but you may find it useful to:
• Evaluate volume delta for the bar in relation to price movement for that bar.
• Evaluate the proportion that volume delta represents of total volume.
• Notice divergences and if the chart's candle shape confirms a hesitation point, as a Doji would.
• Evaluate if the progress of CVD candles correlates with that of chart bars.
• Analyze the wicks. As with price candles, long wicks tend to indicate weakness.
Always keep in mind that unless you have chosen not to reset it, your CVD resets for each period, whether it is fixed or automatically stepped. Consequently, any trend from the preceding period must re-establish itself in the next.
█ NOTES
Know your volume
Traders using volume information should understand the volume data they are using: where it originates and what transactions it includes, as this can vary with instruments, sectors, exchanges, timeframes, and between historical and realtime bars. The information used to build a chart's bars and display volume comes from data providers (exchanges, brokers, etc.) who often maintain distinct feeds for intraday and end-of-day (EOD) timeframes. How volume data is assembled for the two feeds depends on how instruments are traded in that sector and/or the volume reporting policy for each feed. Instruments from crypto and forex markets, for example, will often display similar volume on both feeds. Stocks will often display variations because block trades or other types of trades may not be included in their intraday volume data. Futures will also typically display variations.
Note that as intraday vs EOD variations exist for historical bars on some instruments, differences may also exist between the realtime feeds used on intraday vs 1D or greater timeframes for those same assets. Realtime reporting rules will often be different from historical feed reporting rules, so variations between realtime feeds will often be different from the variations between historical feeds for the same instrument. The Volume X-ray indicator can help you analyze differences between intraday and EOD volumes for the instruments you trade.
If every unit of volume is both bought by a buyer and sold by a seller, how can volume delta make sense?
Traders who do not understand the mechanics of matching engines (the exchange software that matches orders from buyers and sellers) sometimes argue that the concept of volume delta is flawed, as every unit of volume is both bought and sold. While they are rigorously correct in stating that every unit of volume is both bought and sold, they overlook the fact that information can be mined by analyzing variations in the price of successive ticks, or in our case, intrabars.
Our calculations model the situation where, in fully automated order handling, market orders are generally matched to limit orders sitting in the order book. Buy market orders are matched to quotes at the ask level and sell market orders are matched to quotes at the bid level. As explained earlier, we use the same logic when comparing intrabar prices. While using intrabar analysis does not produce results as precise as when individual transactions — or ticks — are analyzed, results are much more precise than those of methods using only chart prices.
Not only does the concept underlying volume delta make sense, it provides a window on an oft-overlooked variable which, with price and time, is the only basic information representing market activity. Furthermore, because the calculation of volume delta also uses price and time variations, one could conceivably surmise that it can provide a more complete model than ones using price and time only. Whether or not volume delta can be useful in your trading practice, as usual, is for you to decide, as each trader's methodology is different.
For Pine Script™ coders
As our latest Polarity Divergences publication, this script uses the recently released request.security_lower_tf() Pine Script™ function discussed in this blog post . It works differently from the usual request.security() in that it can only be used at LTFs, and it returns an array containing one value per intrabar. This makes it much easier for programmers to access intrabar information.
Look first. Then leap.
Numbers RenkoRenko with Volume and Time in the box was developed by David Weis (Authority on Wyckoff method) and his student.
I like this style (I don't know what it is officially called) because it brings out the potential of Wyckoff method and Renko, and looks beautiful.
I can't find this style Indicator anywhere, so I made something like it, then I named "Numbers Renko" (数字 練行足 in Japanese).
Caution : This indicator only works exactly in Renko Chart.
////////// Numbers Renko General Settings //////////
Volume Divisor : To make good looking Volume Number.
ex) You set 100. When Volume is 0.056, 0.05 x 100 = 5.6. 6 is plotted in the box (Decimal are round off).
Show Only Large Renko Volume : show only Renko Volume which is larger than Average Renko Volume (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
Show Renko Time : "Only Large Renko Time" show only Renko Time which is larger than Average Renko Time (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
EMA period for calculation : This is used to calculate Average Renko Time and Average Renko Volume (These are used to decide Numbers colors and Candles colors). Default is EMA, You can choice SMA.
////////// Numbers Renko Coloring //////////
The Numbers in the box are color coded by compared the current Renko Volume with the Average Renko Volume.
If the current Renko Volume is 2 times larger than the ARV, Color2 will be used. If the current Renko Volume is 1.5 times larger than the ARV, Color1.5 will be used. Color1 If the current Renko Volume is larger than the ARV . Color0.5 is larger than half Athe RV and Color0 is less than or equal to half the ARV. Color1, Color1.5 and Color2 are Large Value, so only these colored Numbers are showed when use "Show Only ~ " option.
Default is Renko Volume based Color coding, You can choice Renko Time based Color coding. Therefore you can use two type coloring at the same time. ex) The Numbers Colors are Renko Volume based. Candle body, border and wick Colors are Renko Time based.
////////// Weis Wave Volume //////////
Show Effort vs Result : Weis Wave Volume divided by Wave Length.
ex) If 100 Up WWV is accumulated between 30 Up Renko Box, 100 / 30 = 3.33... will be 3.3 (Second decimal will be rounded off).
No Result Ratio : If current "Effort vs Result" is "No Result Ratio" times larger than Average Effort vs Result, Square Mark will be show. AEvsR is calculated by 5SMA.
ex) You set 1.5. If Current EvsR is 20 and AEvsR is 10, 20 > 10 x 1.5 then Square Mark will be show.
If the left and right arrows are in the same direction, the right arrow is omitted.
Show Comparison Marks : Show left side arrow by compare current value to previous previous value and show right side small arrow by compare current value to previous value.
ex) Current Up WWV is 17 and Previous Up WWV (previous previous value) is 12, left side arrow is Up. Previous Dn WWV is 20, right side small arrow is Dn.
Large Volume Ratio : If current WWV is "Large Volume Ratio" times larger than Average WWV, Large WWV color is used.

Modified ATR Indicator [KL]Modified Average True Range (ATR) Indicator
This indicator displays the ATR with relative highs and relative lows statistically determined.
What is ATR:
To know what ATR is, we need to understand what a True Range (TR) is.
- TR at a given bar is the highest distance between points: a) High vs low, b) High vs Close, and c) Low vs Close.
- ATR is the moving average of TRs over a predefined lookback period; 14 is the most commonly used.
- ATR can be mathematically expressed as:
Why is ATR Important
ATR often used to measure volatility; high volatility is indicated by high ATR, vice versa for low. This is a versatile tool allowing traders to determine entry/exit points, as well as the size of stop losses and when to take profits relative to it.
This is an opinion: Through observations, I have noticed that ATR can also indirectly tell us the levels of relative volume. This intuitively makes sense because in order to increase length of TR, high amounts of capital inflow/outflow is required (graphically speaking, high volume is required in order to make lengths of candle sticks longer). The relationship between ATR and relative volume should hold unless the market is illiquid to the extreme that there is no relationship between volume and price.
That said, knowing the relative lows/highs of ATR is very useful. It can be interpreted as:
- Relative high = high volatility, usually during sell offs
- Relative low = decreasing volume, could indicate price consolidation
Instead of arbitrarily determining whether ATR is high/low, this indicator will determine relative highs and relative lows using a simple statistical model.
How relative high/low is determined by this model
This indicator applies two-tailed hypothesis testing to test whether ATR (ie. say lookback of 14) has greatly deviated from a larger sample size (ie. lookback of 50). Assuming ATR is normally distributed and variance is known, then test statistic (z) can be used to determine whether ATR14 is within the critical area under Null Hypothesis: ATR14 == ATR50. If z falls below/above the left/right critical values (ie. 1.645 for a 90% confidence interval), then this is shown by the indicator through using different colors to plot the ATR line.
Volume X-ray [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This tool analyzes the relative size of volume reported on intraday vs EOD (end of day) data feeds on historical bars. If you use volume data to make trading decisions, it can help you improve your understanding of its nature and quality, which is especially important if you trade on intraday timeframes.
I often mention, when discussing volume analysis, how it's important for traders to understand the volume data they are using: where it originates, what it includes and does not include. By helping you spot sizeable differences between volume reported on intraday and EOD data feeds for any given instrument, "Volume X-ray" can point you to instruments where you might want to research the causes of the difference.
█ CONCEPTS
The information used to build a chart's historical bars originates from data providers (exchanges, brokers, etc.) who often maintain distinct historical feeds for intraday and EOD timeframes. How volume data is assembled for intraday and EOD feeds varies with instruments, brokers and exchanges. Variations between the two feeds — or their absence — can be due to how instruments are traded in a particular sector and/or the volume reporting policy for the feeds you are using. Instruments from crypto and forex markets, for example, will often display similar volume on both feeds. Stocks will often display variations because block trades or other types of trades may not be included in their intraday volume data. Futures will also typically display variations. It is even possible that volume from different feeds may not be of the same nature, as you can get trade volume (market volume) on one feed and tick volume (transaction counts) on another. You will sometimes be able to find the details of what different feeds contain from the technical information provided by exchanges/brokers on their feeds. This is an example for the NASDAQ feeds . Once you determine which feeds you are using, you can look for the reporting specs for that feed. This is all research you will need to do on your own; "Volume X-ray" will not help you with that part.
You may elect to forego the deep dive in feed information and simply rely on the figure the indicator will calculate for the instruments you trade. One simple — and unproven — way to interpret "Volume X-ray" values is to infer that instruments with larger percentages of intraday/EOD volume ratios are more "democratic" because at intraday timeframes, you are seeing a greater proportion of the actual traded volume for the instrument. This could conceivably lead one to conclude that such volume data is more reliable than on an instrument where intraday volume accounts for only 3% of EOD volume, let's say.
Note that as intraday vs EOD variations exist for historical bars on some instruments, there will typically also be differences between the realtime feeds used on intraday vs 1D or greater timeframes for those same assets. Realtime reporting rules will often be different from historical feed reporting rules, so variations between realtime feeds will often be different from the variations between historical feeds for the same instrument. A deep dive in reporting rules will quickly reveal what a jungle they are for some instruments, yet it is the only way to really understand the volume information our charts display.
█ HOW TO USE IT
The script is very simple and has no inputs. Just add it to 1D charts and it will calculate the proportion of volume reported on the intraday feed over the EOD volume. The plots show the daily values for both volumes: the teal area is the EOD volume, the orange line is the intraday volume. A value representing the average, cumulative intraday/EOD volume percentage for the chart is displayed in the upper-right corner. Its background color changes with the percentage, with brightness levels proportional to the percentage for both the bull color (% >= 50) or the bear color (% < 50). When abnormal conditions are detected, such as missing volume of one kind or the other, a yellow background is used.
Daily and cumulative values are displayed in indicator values and the Data Window.
The indicator loads in a pane, but you can also use it in overlay mode by moving it on the chart with "Move to" in the script's "More" menu, and disabling the plot display from the "Settings/Style" tab.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The script will not run on timeframes >1D because it cannot produce useful values on them.
• The calculation of the cumulative average will vary on different intraday timeframes because of the varying number of days covered by the dataset.
Variations can also occur because of irregularities in reported volume data. That is the reason I recommend using it on 1D charts.
• The script only calculates on historical bars because in real time there is no distinction between intraday and EOD feeds.
• You will see plenty of special cases if you use the indicator on a variety of instruments:
• Some instruments have no intraday volume, while on others it's the opposite.
• Missing information will sometimes appear here and there on datasets.
• Some instruments have higher intraday than EOD volume.
Please do not ask me the reasons for these anomalies; it's your responsibility to find them. I supply a tool that will spot the anomalies for you — nothing more.
█ FOR PINE CODERS
• This script uses a little-known feature of request.security() , which allows us to specify `"1440"` for the `timeframe` argument.
When you do, data from the 1min intrabars of the historical intraday feed is aggregated over one day, as opposed to the usual EOD feed used with `"D"`.
• I use gaps on my request.security() calls. This is useful because at intraday timeframes I can cumulate non- na values only.
• I use fixnan() on some values. For those who don't know about it yet, it eliminates na values from a series, just like not using gaps will do in a request.security() call.
• I like how the new switch structure makes for more readable code than equivalent if structures.
• I wrote my script using the revised recommendations in the Style Guide from the Pine v5 User Manual.
• I use the new runtime.error() to throw an error when the script user tries to use a timeframe >1D.
Why? Because then, my request.security() calls would be returning values from the last 1D intrabar of the dilation of the, let's say, 1W chart bar.
This of course would be of no use whatsoever — and misleading. I encourage all Pine coders fetching HTF data to protect their script users in the same way.
As tool builders, it is our responsibility to shield unsuspecting users of our scripts from contexts where our calcs produce invalid results.
• While we're on the subject of accessing intrabar timeframes, I will add this to the intention of coders falling victim to what appears to be
a new misconception where the mere fact of using intrabar timeframes with request.security() is believed to provide some sort of edge.
This is a fallacy unless you are sending down functions specifically designed to mine values from request.security() 's intrabar context.
These coders do not seem to realize that:
• They are only retrieving information from the last intrabar of the chart bar.
• The already flawed behavior of their scripts on historical bars will not improve on realtime bars. It will actually worsen because in real time,
intrabars are not yet ordered sequentially as they are on historical bars.
• Alerts or strategy orders using intrabar information acquired through request.security() will be using flawed logic and data most of the time.
The situation reminds me of the mania where using Heikin-Ashi charts to backtest was all the rage because it produced magnificent — and flawed — results.
Trading is difficult enough when doing the right things; I hate to see traders infected by lethal beliefs.

Relative StrengthThis indicator is called Relative Strength and is no way related to RSI ( Relative strength indicator).
It is simply a ratio of asset A to asset B plotted. Usually it is used to look for strength vs a particular index. Since it is a ratio, all the trendlines work on it. The default index is NIFTY. You can change it any index/script you want to compare:
1. Script vs Index
2. Index vs Index
