Display Stocks with Change%Display Stocks with Change% - Pine Script™ Indicator
Overview
The Display Stocks with Change% indicator is designed for TradingView to highlight specific stocks and their percentage change on a given date. The indicator allows users to input custom stock names, dates, and percentage changes, displaying relevant information directly on the chart. Additionally, it provides an option to connect the stock's high price with a label using customizable line styles.
Features
Custom Stock List: Users can input multiple stock names along with corresponding dates and percentage changes.
Date-Specific Highlighting: The script dynamically checks if the current bar's date matches any input date and displays relevant stock data.
Color-Coded Percentage Change: Stocks with a negative change are displayed in red, while positive or neutral changes are in black.
Connecting Lines: An option to enable or disable dotted, dashed, or solid lines connecting the stock's high price to the label.
Automatic Label Positioning: Adjusts label alignment based on recent price movement to avoid overlap and enhance visibility.
Input Parameters
COB (Close of Business Dates): A comma-separated list of dates in DD-MM-YYYY format.
Stock Names: A comma-separated list of stock tickers.
Change Percentage: Corresponding percentage changes for the listed stocks.
Show Connecting Lines: Boolean toggle to enable or disable connecting lines.
Line Color & Style: Customizable line color and style (solid, dotted, or dashed).
How It Works
Data Processing: The script splits user inputs into arrays and iterates through them.
Date Matching: It checks if the current bar's date matches any of the provided COB dates.
Label Formatting: When a match is found, it constructs a label containing the stock name and its percentage change.
Text Alignment & Factor Adjustments: Dynamically determines label positioning based on recent price movements.
Label Display: If any matching stocks are found, a label is created at the stock's high price.
Connecting Line (Optional): If enabled, a line is drawn from the stock’s high to the label for better visualization.
Key Benefits for Traders:
Track Multiple Stocks at Once – Displays stock names and their percentage changes on specific dates automatically.
Saves Time – No need to manually check historical data; the indicator overlays key stock movements.
Visual Insights – Labels & color coding (red for negative, black for positive) make it easy to spot trends.
Customizable & Automated – Add your own stocks, dates, and percentage changes; the script adjusts dynamically.
📌 Use Case Example:
You’re tracking MRPL, CARTRADE, and JSWENERGY on specific dates. Instead of digging through historical data, this indicator automatically highlights the stock’s movement on that date, allowing you to make faster, informed trading decisions.

Volume Block Order AnalyzerCore Concept
The Volume Block Order Analyzer is a sophisticated Pine Script strategy designed to detect and analyze institutional money flow through large block trades. It identifies unusually high volume candles and evaluates their directional bias to provide clear visual signals of potential market movements.
How It Works: The Mathematical Model
1. Volume Anomaly Detection
The strategy first identifies "block trades" using a statistical approach:
```
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
isHighVolume = volume > avgVolume * volumeThreshold
```
This means a candle must have volume exceeding the recent average by a user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) to be considered a significant block trade.
2. Directional Impact Calculation
For each block trade identified, its price action determines direction:
- Bullish candle (close > open): Positive impact
- Bearish candle (close < open): Negative impact
The magnitude of impact is proportional to the volume size:
```
volumeWeight = volume / avgVolume // How many times larger than average
blockImpact = (isBullish ? 1.0 : -1.0) * (volumeWeight / 10)
```
This creates a normalized impact score typically ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, scaled by dividing by 10 to prevent excessive values.
3. Cumulative Impact with Time Decay
The key innovation is the cumulative impact calculation with decay:
```
cumulativeImpact := cumulativeImpact * impactDecay + blockImpact
```
This mathematical model has important properties:
- Recent block trades have stronger influence than older ones
- Impact gradually "fades" at rate determined by decay factor (default 0.95)
- Sustained directional pressure accumulates over time
- Opposing pressure gradually counteracts previous momentum
Trading Logic
Signal Generation
The strategy generates trading signals based on momentum shifts in institutional order flow:
1. Long Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from negative to positive
```
if ta.crossover(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
```
*Logic: Institutional buying pressure has overcome selling pressure, indicating potential upward movement*
2. Short Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from positive to negative
```
if ta.crossunder(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
```
*Logic: Institutional selling pressure has overcome buying pressure, indicating potential downward movement*
3. Exit Logic: Positions are closed when the cumulative impact moves against the position
```
if cumulativeImpact < 0
strategy.close("Long")
```
*Logic: The original signal is no longer valid as institutional flow has reversed*
Visual Interpretation System
The strategy employs multiple visualization techniques:
1. Color Gradient Bar System:
- Deep green: Strong buying pressure (impact > 0.5)
- Light green: Moderate buying pressure (0.1 < impact ≤ 0.5)
- Yellow-green: Mild buying pressure (0 < impact ≤ 0.1)
- Yellow: Neutral (impact = 0)
- Yellow-orange: Mild selling pressure (-0.1 < impact ≤ 0)
- Orange: Moderate selling pressure (-0.5 < impact ≤ -0.1)
- Red: Strong selling pressure (impact ≤ -0.5)
2. Dynamic Impact Line:
- Plots the cumulative impact as a line
- Line color shifts with impact value
- Line movement shows momentum and trend strength
3. Block Trade Labels:
- Marks significant block trades directly on the chart
- Shows direction and volume amount
- Helps identify key moments of institutional activity
4. Information Dashboard:
- Current impact value and signal direction
- Average volume benchmark
- Count of significant block trades
- Min/Max impact range
Benefits and Use Cases
This strategy provides several advantages:
1. Institutional Flow Detection: Identifies where large players are positioning themselves
2. Early Trend Identification: Often detects institutional accumulation/distribution before major price movements
3. Market Context Enhancement: Provides deeper insight than simple price action alone
4. Objective Decision Framework: Quantifies what might otherwise be subjective observations
5. Adaptive to Market Conditions: Works across different timeframes and instruments by using relative volume rather than absolute thresholds
Customization Options
The strategy allows users to fine-tune its behavior:
- Volume Threshold: How unusual a volume spike must be to qualify
- Lookback Period: How far back to measure average volume
- Impact Decay Factor: How quickly older trades lose influence
- Visual Settings: Labels and line width customization
This sophisticated yet intuitive strategy provides traders with a window into institutional activity, helping identify potential trend changes before they become obvious in price action alone.
Liquidity Depth [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script visualizes market liquidity by identifying key price levels where significant volume has transacted. It highlights zones of high buying and selling interest, helping traders understand where liquidity is accumulating and how price may respond to these areas. By dynamically tracking volume at highs and lows, the script builds a real-time liquidity profile, making it a powerful tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels.
CONCEPTS
Liquidity depth analysis helps traders determine how price interacts with supply and demand at different levels. The script processes historical volume data to distinguish between high-liquidity and low-liquidity zones. It assigns transparency levels to plotted lines , ensuring that more relevant liquidity areas stand out visually. The script adds a profile to show the depth of liquidity (derived from historical volume data) for levels above and below the current price
FEATURES
Liquidity Levels: Tracks liquidity levels based on volume concentration at price high and lows.
Volume-Based Transparency: More significant liquidity levels are displayed with higher visibility, showing their significance.
Interpolation: interpolates the bullish and bearish liquidity depth at a user defined range away from the price, helping in comparing the liquidity amounts between bullish and bearish.
Depth Profile: Allows traders to visualize depth of liquidity in a more quantitative and clearer way than the liquidity levels/list]
USAGE
This indicator is best used to track liquidity levels and potential price reaction areas. Traders can adjust the Liquidity Lookback setting to analyze past liquidity levels over different historical periods. The Profile Resolution setting controls the granularity of liquidity depth visualization, with higher values providing more detail. The script can be applied across different timeframes, from intraday scalping to swing trading analysis. The plotted liquidity zones provide traders with insights into where price may encounter strong support, resistance, or potential liquidity-driven reversals.
VIX:VIX3M RatioThe VIX/VIX3M Ratio indicator compares the short-term (1-month) volatility index (VIX) to the medium-term (3-month) volatility index (VIX3M). This ratio provides insights into the market's volatility expectations across different time horizons.
Key Interpretations:
Ratio > 1: Short-term volatility expectations are higher than 3-month expectations
Ratio = 1: Short-term and medium-term volatility expectations are aligned
Ratio < 1: Medium-term volatility expectations are higher than short-term expectations
Potential Trading Insights:
A rising ratio may indicate increasing near-term market uncertainty
Significant deviations from 1.0 can signal potential market stress or changing risk perceptions
Traders use this to gauge the term structure of market volatility
Celestial Pair Spread Hello friends, after a very long time!
Today, I tried to put into code an idea that came to my mind spontaneously and suddenly.
Note :
This script is experimental and improvable.
I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
TIMEFRAME : 1D (Daily Bars)
CELESTIAL SPREAD
The spread moves in a very limited area and is consistent within itself, especially on days far from the end of the contract.
That's why there is a reassuring sky atmosphere. That's why this name was given completely improvised.
Basic logic of the script
We enter the name of the CME Futures contract we want to enter:
Ex : CL1! , ES1! , ZC1! , NQ1!
The script creates us a pair trade parity divided into secondary contracts.
Example : ES1!/ES2!
What is pair trading?
I will explain briefly here.
For users who are wondering:
www.investopedia.com
Let's get back to our topic.
Now we have created a parity that does not actually exist.
This parity is the manifestation of the relative movements of two contracts.
When the parity rises, ES1! increased,ES2! has fallen.
In the opposite case, We can say: ES1! Contract has been dropped ES2! has increased.
Pair trading is generally a trade that needs to be kept in mind from time to time.
It is a method preferred by professionals who can process very quickly.
Market risk is minimal, but since 2 contracts are purchased, more money is paid and very low percentage profits are made.
It is very expensive to do pair trading, especially with oil and its derivatives and interest security derivatives.
The contract we are considering has micros. (small-item contracts tied to the same value)
So when we switch to our broker MES1!/MES2! We will trade.
For all CME futures :
www.cmegroup.com
Anyway, let's continue:
The script created the parity showing its relationship with the next contract and plotted it as bars.
Celestial bands are just like Bollinger bands, but they consist of 3 bands based on percentage changes rather than standard deviation.
The middle band is obtained from moving averages.
The upper and lower bands are the middle band subjected to a threshold value.
The threshold value can be changed.
0.15 percent was charged for this script.
CAUTION :
As can be seen in the example below;
The most important thing is not to make any transactions when the contract switch dates are approaching.
Therefore, it is recommended to use it just below the main chart.
The blue bars in the parity are
Values that outside the upper and lower threshold values are colored blue.
For this condition
Alerts has been added.
Don't forget to add alert and edit.
MAIN PURPOSE
It is aimed to start a pair trade when such conditions come and to quickly close the trades when the parity basis reaches the value.
OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS
Other issues are broker related issues.
Difference between initial margins and maintanence margins of contracts (between 1! and 2!)
It shouldn't be too high.
The commission should not be too high.
Leverage must be high because the profit percentage is very low.
To calculate leverage you must divide your contract size by the relevant margin requirement.
Sample margin requirement table:
www.interactivebrokers.com
RISKS
It is an experimental and intellectual script,
the risk of contract price differences (maybe it will not leave a profit except for very extreme values)
I remind you of the quickness risk that comes from a two-legged trade.
Alerts definitely synchronized with an audible alert sent to a smartphone as an e-mail notification and displayed on the locked screen for quick action.
Best regards!
TICK Indikator
English:
The TICK Indicator measures in real time the number of up ticking stocks minus the number of down ticking stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It can display either the current TICK value ("Normal" mode) or the cumulative TICK values over the trading day ("Cumulative" mode). Positive values indicate market strength, while negative values signal weakness. Colored bars visualize momentum: green shades for rising, red for falling values. The zero line acts as a reference between buying and selling pressure.
Interpretation:
> +1000 and/or continuos lows above 0 → strong buying pressure
< -1000 and/or continuos highs below 0 → strong selling pressure
Around 0 → balanced market
Deutsch:
Der TICK Indikator misst in Echtzeit die Anzahl der Aktien, die an der New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) steigen, minus der Anzahl der fallenden Aktien. Der Indikator kann im "Normal"-Modus den aktuellen TICK-Wert anzeigen oder im "Cumulative"-Modus die kumulierten TICK-Werte über den Tag hinweg summieren. Positive Werte deuten auf eine allgemeine Markstärke hin, während negative Werte Schwäche signalisieren. Farbige Balken visualisieren die Dynamik: grüne Töne bei steigenden, rote bei fallenden Werten. Die Nullinie dient als Referenzpunkt zwischen Kauf- und Verkaufsdruck.
Interpretation:
> +1000 und/oder mehrere aufeinander folgende Tiefs über 0 → starker Kaufdruck
< -1000 und/oder mehrere aufeinander folgende Hochs unter 0 → starker Verkaufsdruck
Nahe 0 → ausgeglichener Markt
[GOG] Risk-Appetite IndicatorOverall tradfi risk appetite indicator. Plotting ARKK/SPX and ARKW/SPX. Look for divergences to your risk assets to look for entries and exits. Also generally useful to compare to past peaks to spot euphoria.
Open Interest (Multiple Exchanges for Crypto)On some cryptocurrencies and exchanges the OI data is nonexistent or deplorable. With this indicator you can see OI data from multiple exchanges (or just the best one) from USD,USDT, or USD+USDT pairs whether you are using a perpetuals chart or not.
Hope you all like it!

Helps determine trend direction and momentum shifts.
How to Use These Values:
• TSI Crosses Above Signal Line → Bullish entry.
• TSI Crosses Below Signal Line → Bearish entry.
• Overbought (+40 to +50) & Oversold (-40 to -50) zones → Watch for trend reversals.
• Divergence Signals → If price makes a new high/low but TSI doesn’t, momentum is weakening.
Whale Supertrend (V1.2)The script "Whale Supertrend (V1.2)" is an advanced trend indicator that uses multiple Supertrends with different factors to determine entry and exit points in the market. The Supertrend is a popular indicator that combines price and volatility to help identify trend direction. The script displays buy and sell signals based on the confluence of Supertrends.
How the script works
Configuring Supertrends
The script configures six Supertrends with different factors (factor, factor1, factor2, factor3, factor4, factor5) while using the same ATR period (atrPeriod = 10).
Supertrend 1: factor = 3
Supertrend 2: factor1 = 4
Supertrend 3: factor2 = 6
Supertrend 4: factor3 = 9
Supertrend 5: factor4 = 13
Supertrend 6: factor5 = 18
For each Supertrend, the bullish (blue) and bearish (purple) trend conditions are plotted on the chart.
Signal Calculation
The script calculates the number of Supertrends in bullish and bearish trend:
bullishCount: Number of Supertrends indicating a bullish trend.
bearishCount: Number of Supertrends indicating a bearish trend.
Signal Detection
The script triggers a buy or sell signal when at least three of the six Supertrends indicate the same trend:
Buy Signal (buySignal): Triggers when bullishCount is greater than or equal to 3.
Sell Signal (sellSignal): Triggers when bearishCount is greater than or equal to 3.
To avoid repetition, signals are only displayed when the state changes:
triggerBuy: Buy signal only when buySignal becomes true for the first time.
triggerSell: Sell signal only when sellSignal becomes true for the first time.
Candle Coloring:
Candles now change color based on signals:
Green: When a Buy Signal is active.
Red: When a Sell Signal is active.
This provides a clearer visualization of market trends directly on the chart.
Dynamic Settings for Supertrends:
You can customize the ATR Period and Factor for each of the 6 Supertrends via the settings panel.
Each Supertrend has independent parameters:
ATR Period: Controls the ATR calculation period.
Factor: Adjusts the Supertrend sensitivity.
Benefits:
Enhanced Readability: Candle colors help identify buy and sell zones at a glance.
Greater Customization: Tailor Supertrend settings to your trading strategy or market conditions.
ROC with closed based coloring & info table [DB]Rate of Change (ROC) Basics
The Rate of Change (ROC) is a momentum oscillator measuring the percentage price change between the current close and the close from N periods ago.
Calculated as: ROC = * 100
Traders use ROC to:
Identify overbought/oversold conditions
Spot momentum shifts
Confirm trend strength
My improvements:
Visual Clarity
Color-Coded Direction: ROC line changes color (green/red/yellow) based on intra-candle momentum shifts.
Direction Table: Instant view of the last change in ROC with the candle close (▲ UP / ▼ DOWN / ▶ FLAT).
Cells for current value and previous change between timeframe bar period.
What you can benefit with this over the regular ROC:
Faster Analysis: The visual cues make direction and strength instantly obvious and it allows for faster decision making while preserving more mental capital.
Binance Perp Premium/DiscountThis TradingView Pine Script indicator calculates and displays the premium or discount percentage between a cryptocurrency's spot price and its corresponding perpetual futures (perp) price on Binance. It automatically detects whether the current chart symbol represents a spot or perp market by checking for the ".P" suffix. The script then retrieves the closing prices for both the spot and perp symbols using the request.security function. If valid data is available for both markets, it computes the premium or discount as a percentage and visualizes this difference as a histogram below the main chart. Green bars indicate a premium (perp price above spot), while red bars signify a discount (perp price below spot). The indicator includes error handling to display 'n/a' when data for the required symbols is unavailable, ensuring robustness across various chart applications.
Buyers vs SellersBuyers vs Sellers is an indicator which essentially weighs the strength of the buyers against the strength of the sellers. It defines the current relationship between the buyers and the sellers as well as the way that that relationship is changing over time.
User Inputs:
1. Number of Bars To Include In The Calculation - this is the look back period. The amount of past data that is being processed.
2. Length of The ATR - higher values are recommended. This ATR is used as a unit in which the price changes are expressed.
3. Bullish/Bearish Bias Threshold - the minimum value to consider the buyers or the sellers having control of the price.
4. Net Move Average Length - the moving average of the sum of bullish and bearish price changes.
The Calculation Process:
This indicator measures the difference between the opening and the closing prices of each bar in the look back period.
After that it sums together the sizes of the bodies of all the bullish bars and also the sizes of all the bearish bars to create the total bullish price change and total bearish price change for the look back period.
After that it converts the total price changes into percentages of the ATR and divides them by the look back period to get the price change per bar - it is a way of getting the price change values down to less ridiculous numbers regardless of the look back period and while still keeping the proportions intact.
After that it sums the two price changes together to get the net move and performs a simple moving average calculation on it in order to smooth out the values. This is a numerical representation of the relationship between the strength of the bullish and the bearish moves, which is easily readable from the chart.
After that the indicator performs a natural logarithm of the bullish price change divided by the bearish price change. This calculation gives a relationship between the two values which is not tied to the volatility of the instrument, but is expressed purely as a relationship between the strength of one value against the other. The idea is that this would allow for easier comparison across different instruments as the same numbers would represent exactly the same distribution of the strength difference.
The Plotting Logic:
The ATR is plotted as just a number as a reference.
The natural logarithm is presented in two ways.
One way is numerical, to be able to precisely read the value and the colour of the number changes depending if it is positive and above the bias threshold or negative and below the bias threshold.
The other way is in the form of a background colour. It only visualises the bias that can be interpreted based on the logarithm value in relation to the set bias threshold.
The total bullish price change and the total bearish price change are both plotted as a line with the fill between that line and the zero line. This helps visualise the bullish and the bearish moves individually.
The moving average of the sum of the bullish and the bearish moves is added as a line to represent the relationship between the two on a graph and not just as a logarithm.
I hope this indicator will serve you well and help with defining the relationship between the buyers and sellers more objectively, hopefully leading to more profitable trades.

RSI and Dev Advanced Volatility IndexEnglish Explanation of the "RSI and Dev Advanced Volatility Index" Pine Script Code
Understanding the Code
Purpose:
This Pine Script code creates a custom indicator that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Deviation (DEV) to provide insights into market volatility.
Key Components:
* Deviation (DEV): Calculates the difference between the closing price and the 10-period simple moving average. This measures the extent to which the price deviates from its recent average, indicating volatility.
* RSI: The traditional RSI is then applied to the calculated deviations. This helps to smooth the data and identify overbought or oversold conditions in terms of volatility.
Calculation Steps:
* Deviation Calculation: The difference between the closing price and its 10-period simple moving average is calculated.
* RSI Calculation: The RSI is calculated on the deviations, providing a measure of the speed and change of volatility relative to recent volatility changes.
* Plotting:
* The RSI of the deviations is plotted on the chart.
* Horizontal lines are plotted at 50, 0, and 110 to visually represent different volatility zones.
* The area between the lines is filled with color to highlight low and high volatility regions.
Interpretation and Usage
* Volatility Analysis:
* High Volatility: When the RSI is above 50, it indicates high volatility, suggesting the market might be in a consolidation or trend reversal phase.
* Low Volatility: When the RSI is below 50, it indicates low volatility, suggesting a relatively calm market.
* Trading Signals:
* Buy Signal: When the RSI crosses above 50 from below, it might signal increasing volatility, which could be a buying opportunity.
* Sell Signal: When the RSI crosses below 50 from above, it might signal decreasing volatility, which could be a selling opportunity.
* Risk Management:
* By monitoring volatility, traders can better manage their risk. During periods of high volatility, traders might reduce their position size or adopt more conservative strategies.
Advantages
* Comprehensive: Combines RSI and DEV for a more holistic view of volatility.
* Sensitivity: Quickly responds to changes in market volatility.
* Visual Clarity: Color-coded zones provide a clear visual representation of different volatility levels.
Limitations
* Parameter Sensitivity: The indicator's performance is sensitive to parameter changes, such as the lookback period for the moving average.
* Lag: Like most technical indicators, it has some lag and might not capture every market movement.
* Not Predictive: It can only indicate current and past volatility, not future movements.
Summary
This custom indicator offers a valuable tool for analyzing market volatility. By combining RSI and DEV, it provides a more nuanced perspective on price fluctuations. However, it should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis for more robust trading decisions.
Key points to remember:
* Higher RSI values indicate higher volatility.
* Lower RSI values indicate lower volatility.
* Crossovers of the RSI line above or below 50 can provide potential trading signals.
* The indicator should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools for a more complete picture of the market.
Trend Levels [ChartPrime]The Trend Levels indicator is designed to identify key trend levels (High, Mid, and Low) during market trends, based on real-time calculations of highest, lowest, and mid-level values over a customizable length. Additionally, the indicator calculates trend strength by measuring the ratio of candles closing above or below the midline, providing a clear view of the ongoing trend dynamics and strength.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Trend Shift Signals :
Trend shifts, based on highest and lowest values during input length. When high is == to highest it will change trend to up when low == lowest value it will be shift to down trend.
// Calculate highest and lowest over the specified length
h = ta.highest(length)
l = ta.lowest(length)
// Determine trend direction: if the current high is the highest value, set trend to true
if h == high
trend := true
// If the current low is the lowest value, set trend to false
if l == low
trend := false
Whenever the trend changes direction (from uptrend to downtrend or vice versa), the indicator provides visual cues in the form of arrows. This gives traders clear signals to identify potential trend reversals, enabling them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
⯌ Trend Level Calculation :
As soon as a trend is detected (uptrend or downtrend), the indicator starts calculating the highest, lowest, and mid-level values over the defined period. These levels are plotted on the chart as color-coded lines for easy visualization, allowing traders to quickly spot the key levels within a trend.
⯌ Midline Retests :
Throughout the trend, the mid-level line is often retested, acting as a potential zone for pullbacks or rejections. Traders can use these retests as opportunities for entering positions or confirming trend continuation. The chart shows how price frequently interacts with the midline, helping to identify important reaction levels.
⯌ Trend Strength Calculation :
The indicator measures the trend strength by calculating the delta between the number of candles closing above and below the midline. This percentage-based delta is displayed in real-time, providing a clear indication of whether the trend is gaining or losing momentum.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Specifies the lookback period for calculating the highest and lowest values, which determines the key trend levels.
Candle Counting : Measures the number of candles closing above and below the midline to calculate the trend strength delta.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Trend Levels indicator provides traders with a powerful tool for visualizing trend dynamics, key levels of support and resistance, and real-time trend strength. By identifying midline retests, tracking candle counts, and providing trend shift signals, this indicator can help traders make well-informed decisions during market trends.
ATR Trailing Stop by tactical trade 22 Oct 2024Description:
The ATR Dual Trailing Stop indicator is a versatile and powerful tool designed to help traders visualize dynamic support and resistance levels based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator plots two separate ATR-based trailing stops with customizable settings, providing a comprehensive view of potential market reversals and trend strength.
Key features:
Two ATR Trailing Stops: The first stop uses customizable ATR settings (default: 10-period ATR with a 3x multiplier), while the second stop uses an alternate configuration (default: 21-period ATR with a 7x multiplier).
Multi-Timeframe ATR Calculation: Regardless of the chart's time frame, the ATR is calculated based on a user-selected time frame (e.g., daily), allowing for consistent stop-loss levels even in lower time frames like 5-minute or 15-minute charts.
Visual Cues: The indicator clearly plots two trailing stop lines in different colors, making it easy to track the market’s volatility-based support and resistance areas.
No Buy/Sell Signals: This is purely a trailing stop indicator with no embedded buy/sell signals, giving traders the flexibility to use it with their preferred entry/exit strategies.
This indicator is especially useful in highly volatile markets where precise trailing stop levels are essential for managing risk and maximizing profit potential. The dual ATR configuration helps traders adapt to changing market conditions by providing two levels of stop placement: a shorter-term and a longer-term trailing stop.
Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend - Indicator [presentTrading]This version of the indicator is built upon the foundation of a strategy version published earlier.

█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend** works by calculating a supertrend based on multiple factors and incorporating oscillations from trend deviations. Here’s a breakdown of how it functions:
🔶 SuperTrend Calculation
At the heart of the indicator is the SuperTrend formula, which dynamically adjusts based on price movements.
🔶 Normalization of Deviations
To enhance accuracy, the **FlexiSuperTrend** calculates multiple deviations from the trend and normalizes them.
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit Levels
The indicator allows setting up to three take profit levels, which are displayed via price level alerts. lows traders to exit part of their position at various profit intervals.

█ Trade Direction
The **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend Indicator** supports both long and short trade directions.
This flexibility allows traders to adapt to trending, volatile, or sideways markets.
█ Usage
To use the **FlexiSuperTrend Indicator**, traders can set up their preferences for the following key features:
- **Trading Direction**: Choose whether to focus on long, short, or both signals.
- **Indicator Source**: The price source to calculate the trend (e.g., close, hl2).
- **Indicator Length**: The number of periods to calculate the ATR and trend (the larger the value, the smoother the trend).
- **Starting and Increment Factor**: These adjust how reactive the trend is to price movements. The starting factor dictates how far the initial trend band is from the price, and the increment factor adjusts subsequent trend deviations.
The indicator then displays buy and sell signals on the chart, along with alerts for each take-profit level.

█ Default Settings
The default settings of the **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend** are carefully designed to provide an optimal balance between sensitivity and accuracy. Let’s examine these default parameters and their effect on performance:
🔶 Indicator Length (Default: 10)
The **Indicator Length** determines the lookback period for the ATR calculation. A smaller value makes the indicator more reactive to price changes, but may generate more false signals. A longer length smooths the trend and reduces noise but may delay signals.
Effect on performance: Shorter lengths perform better in volatile markets, while longer lengths excel in trending markets.
🔶 Starting Factor (Default: 0.618)
This factor adjusts the starting distance of the SuperTrend from the current price. The smaller the starting factor, the closer the trend is to the price, making it more sensitive. Conversely, a larger factor allows more distance, reducing sensitivity but filtering out false signals.
Effect on performance: A smaller factor provides quicker signals but can lead to frequent false positives. A larger factor generates fewer but more reliable signals.
🔶 Increment Factor (Default: 0.382)
The **Increment Factor** controls how the trend bands adjust as the price moves. It increases the distance of the bands from the price with each iteration.
Effect on performance: A higher increment factor can result in wider stop-loss or trend reversal bands, allowing for longer trends to develop without frequent exits. A lower factor keeps the bands closer to the price and is more suited for shorter-term trades.
🔶 Take Profit Levels (Default: 2%, 8%, 18%)
The default take-profit levels are set at 2%, 8%, and 18%. These values represent the thresholds at which the trader can partially exit their positions. These multi-step levels are highly customizable depending on the trader’s risk tolerance and strategy.
Effect on performance: Lower take-profit levels (e.g., 2%) capture small, quick profits in volatile markets, while higher levels (8%-18%) allow for a more gradual exit in strong trends.
🔶 Normalization Method (Default: None)
The default normalization method is **None**, meaning the deviations are not normalized. However, enabling normalization (e.g., **Max-Min**) can improve the clarity of the indicator’s signals in volatile or choppy markets by smoothing out the noise.
Effect on performance: Using a normalization method can reduce the effect of extreme deviations, making signals more stable and less prone to false positives.
Larry Conners SMTP StrategyThe Spent Market Trading Pattern is a strategy developed by Larry Connors, typically used for short-term mean reversion trading. This strategy takes advantage of the exhaustion in market momentum by entering trades when the market is perceived as "spent" after extended trends or extreme moves, expecting a short-term reversal. Connors uses indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index) and price action patterns to identify these opportunities.
Key Elements of the Strategy:
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: The strategy looks for extreme overbought or oversold conditions, often indicated by low RSI values (below 30 for oversold and above 70 for overbought).
Mean Reversion: Connors believed that markets, especially in short-term scenarios, tend to revert to the mean after periods of strong momentum. The "spent" market is assumed to have expended its energy, making a reversal likely.
Entry Signals:
In an uptrend, a stock or market index making a significant number of consecutive up days (e.g., 5-7 consecutive days with higher closes) indicates overbought conditions.
In a downtrend, a similar number of consecutive down days indicates oversold conditions.
Reversal Anticipation: Once an extreme in price movement is identified (such as consecutive gains or losses), the strategy places trades anticipating a reversion to the mean, which is usually the 5-day or 10-day moving average.
Exit Points: Trades are exited when prices move back toward their mean or when the extreme conditions dissipate, usually based on RSI or moving average thresholds.
Why the Strategy Works:
Human Psychology: The strategy capitalizes on the fact that markets, in the short term, often behave irrationally due to the emotions of traders—fear and greed lead to overextended moves.
Mean Reversion Tendency: Financial markets often exhibit mean-reverting behavior, where prices temporarily deviate from their historical norms but eventually return. Short-term exhaustion after a strong rally or sell-off offers opportunities for quick profits.
Overextended Moves: Markets that rise or fall too quickly tend to become overextended, as buyers or sellers get exhausted, making reversals more probable. Connors’ approach identifies these moments when the market is "spent" and ripe for a reversal.
Risks of the Spent Market Trading Pattern Strategy:
Trend Continuation: One of the key risks is that the market may not revert as expected and instead continues in the same direction. In trending markets, mean-reversion strategies can suffer because strong trends can last longer than anticipated.
False Signals: The strategy relies heavily on technical indicators like RSI, which can produce false signals in volatile or choppy markets. There can be times when a market appears "spent" but continues in its current direction.
Market Timing: Mean reversion strategies often require precise market timing. If the entry or exit points are mistimed, it can lead to losses, especially in short-term trades where small price movements can significantly impact profitability.
High Transaction Costs: This strategy requires frequent trades, which can lead to higher transaction costs, especially in markets with wide bid-ask spreads or high commissions.
Conclusion:
Larry Connors’ Spent Market Trading Pattern strategy is built on the principle of mean reversion, leveraging the concept that markets tend to revert to a mean after extreme moves. While effective in certain conditions, such as range-bound markets, it carries risks—especially during strong trends—where price momentum may not reverse as quickly as expected.

ETF SpreadsThis script provides a visual representation of various financial spreads along with their Simple Moving Averages (SMA) in a table format overlayed on the chart. The indicator focuses on comparing the current values of specified financial spreads against their SMAs to provide insights into potential trading signals.
Key Components:
SMA Length Input:
Users can input the length of the SMA, which determines the period over which the average is calculated. The default length is set to 20 days.
Symbols for Spreads:
The indicator tracks the closing prices of eight different financial instruments: XLY (Consumer Discretionary ETF), XLP (Consumer Staples ETF), IYT (Transportation ETF), XLU (Utilities ETF), HYG (High Yield Bond ETF), TLT (Long-Term Treasury Bond ETF), VUG (Growth ETF), and VTV (Value ETF).
Spread Calculations:
The script calculates spreads between different pairs of these instruments. For instance, it computes the ratio of XLY to XLP, which represents the performance spread between Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors.
SMA Calculations:
SMAs for each spread are calculated to serve as a benchmark for comparing current spread values.
Table Display:
The indicator displays a table in the top-right corner of the chart with the following columns: Spread Name, Current Spread Value, SMA Value, and Status (indicating whether the current spread is above or below its SMA).
Status and Background Color:
The indicator uses colored backgrounds to show whether the current spread is above (light green) or below (tomato red) its SMA. Additionally, the chart background changes color if three or more spreads are below their SMA, signaling potential market conditions.

Journal: Journal of Financial Economics, 2007
Abstract: The authors analyze various methods of financial spread calculations and their implications for portfolio allocation decisions. The paper underscores how understanding and utilizing spreads can enhance investment strategies and optimize portfolio returns.
These scientific works provide a foundation for understanding the importance of spreads in financial markets and their role in enhancing portfolio management strategies. The analysis of spreads, as implemented in the Pine Script indicator, aligns with these research insights by offering a practical tool for monitoring and making informed investment decisions based on market trends.
Economic Policy Uncertainty StrategyThis Pine Script strategy is designed to make trading decisions based on the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index for the United States (USEPUINDXD) using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a dynamic threshold. The strategy identifies opportunities by entering long positions when the SMA of the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index crosses above a user-defined threshold. An exit is triggered after a set number of bars have passed since the trade was opened. Additionally, the background is highlighted in green when a position is open to visually indicate active trades.
This strategy is intended to be used in portfolio management and trading systems where economic policy uncertainty plays a critical role in decision-making. The index provides insight into macroeconomic conditions, which can affect asset prices and investment returns.
The Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) Index is a significant metric used to gauge uncertainty related to economic policies in the United States. This index reflects the frequency of newspaper articles discussing economic uncertainty, government policies, and their potential impact on the economy. It has become a popular indicator for both academics and practitioners to analyze the effects of policy uncertainty on various economic and financial outcomes.
Importance of the EPU Index for Portfolio Decisions:
Economic Policy Uncertainty and Investment Decisions:
Research by Baker, Bloom, and Davis (2016) introduced the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index and explored how increased uncertainty leads to delays in investment and hiring decisions. Their study shows that heightened uncertainty, as captured by the EPU index, is associated with a contraction in economic activity and lower stock market returns. Investors tend to shift their portfolios towards safer assets during periods of high policy uncertainty .
Impact on Asset Prices:
Gulen and Ion (2016) demonstrated that policy uncertainty adversely affects corporate investment, leading to lower stock market returns. The study emphasized that firms reduce investment during periods of high policy uncertainty, which can significantly impact the pricing of risky assets. Consequently, portfolio managers need to account for policy uncertainty when making asset allocation decisions .
Global Implications:
Policy uncertainty is not only a domestic issue. Brogaard and Detzel (2015) found that U.S. economic policy uncertainty has significant spillover effects on global financial markets, affecting equity returns, bond yields, and foreign exchange rates. This suggests that global investors should incorporate U.S. policy uncertainty into their risk management strategies .
These studies underscore the importance of the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index as a tool for understanding macroeconomic risks and making informed portfolio management decisions. Strategies that incorporate the EPU index, such as the one described above, can help investors navigate periods of uncertainty by adjusting their exposure to different asset classes based on economic conditions.
