Inverted Yield Curve with VIX Fear IndexUS 2 year and US 10 year comparison, inverted yield curve with VIX. I use this on a weekly chart with 2 moving averages, the 40 week (ma200 daily) and the 520 week (10 year median).
The bottom histogram is the VIX and the plot is the yield curve. When the VIX is above a certain level (you can set it in settings) and the ýield curve is close to or at inversion the background goes red.
The last seven recessions were preceded by an inverted yield curve. Here I combined the two main fear indexes, the VIX and the run for safe US treasuries (Inverted Yield Curve).
This is preset to the 2 year and 10 year US bond, weekly, and the normal VIX ticker but you can set it to whatever you like.
Published with source code for anyone to modify. Please comment below if you do so! This is the second in a series of indicators I intend to publish as a package of economic recoverty/recession symptom indicators.

Automatic Support, Resistance, Fibonacci LevelsThis indicator plots absolute high and low values for up to five completely adjustable time periods (in months, weeks, days, hours, minutes) and optionally calculates the Fibonacci levels on the pair of absolutes of your choice, ascending or descending, and mimics the shading available in the built-in Fib charting tools (e.g. retracement).
Here are a few screenshots of the same chart with various options selected.
3-Month, 4-Week, and 5-Day absolutes with 3-Monthly Fib plotted:

I started putting this together for Vazzyb, who was looking for a way to automate plotting horizontal support and resistance levels for monthly, weekly, and daily extremes, and then I added additional features as they occurred to me. Special thanks to Paaax, who suggested I add Fib levels.
I am leaving the code open, so you may feel free to grab snippets you like and use them for your own purposes. Of particular interest may be my custom "calc_fib()" function, which accepts any series pair, as well as a Boolean indicating whether to invert, and returns an array with each of the major Fibonacci levels: .

Dual Timeframe SMA Ribbon CrossoverCopyright by RJ 3/2018
Should be used with lower timeframe and higher timeframe charts
First set your chart to the lower timeframe you'd like to analyze
see f.bpcdn.co
For this method, low timeframe/high suitable timeframe pairs are:
5min with 30min parent
15min with 1hr parent
30min with 4hr parent
4hr with daily parent
daily with weekly parent
weekly with monthly parent
On lower timeframe chart - Plot of 2 smas length 6, 1 Offset
If smas cross - and bar crosses the sma convergence, and full body of bar crosses SMAs - then this is a buy or sell opportunity
For confirmation - on the higher timeframe chart, check if bar is above or below the smas for that day
Auto DayWeekMonth Fib Levels R2 by JustUncleLThis indicator automatically draws up to Three Sets of Fibonacci Pivot levels based on the previous Candle period's Range (High-Low). The HLC3 is used as the default Pivotal level. Only the most Recent period Candle Levels are displayed. The longer Weekly and Monthly sets are particularly useful in finding long term Supply and Demand levels.
The three sets of selectable periods are spit into the following sets:
Daily Set (1,2,3,4,5,7,10 or 14 Days)
Weekly Set (1,2,3,4,5,10, or 13 Weeks)
Monthly Set (1,2,3,4,5,6,9 or 12 months)
Each set has the option to display Extension levels.
The Pivotal Level HLC3 and Range = (High - Low), are extracted from previous Period Candle.
FIB LEVELS Colours (same in each period set):
Yellow = Pivot and Pivot Zone (HLC3 by default)
Fuchsia = R1,S1 Levels 0.368 * Range
Lime = R2,S2 Levels 0.618 * Range
Red = R3,S3 Levels 0.786 * Range
Aqua = R4,S4 Levels 1.000 * Range
Green = R5,S5 Levels 1.236 * Range
Orange = R6,S6 Levels 1.382 * Range
Black = R7,S7 Levels 1.618 * Range
Maroon = R8,S8 Levels 2.000 * Range
Pullback Trading Tool R5-65 by JustUncleLBy request this is an updated version of the "PullBack Trading Tool": removes experimental "OCC" channel, added option to display ribbons or just single moving average lines, added alert arrows for "PB" exits, added alertcondition for TV alarm subsystem, added some extract options for Pivot points and general cleanup of code.
Description:
This project incorporates the majority of the indicators needed to analyse and trade Trends for Pullbacks, swings and reversals.
Incorporated within this tool are the following indicators:
1. Major industry (Banks) recognised important EMAs in an EMA Ribbon:
Lime = EMA5 (Optional Display)
DodgerBlue = EMA12 (Optional Display)
Red = EMA36 (Optional display)
Green = EMA89
Blue = EMA200
Black = EMA633
2. The 5 EMA (default) High/Low/Close Price Action Channel (PAC), the PAC channel display is disabled by default.
3. Optionally display Fractals and optional Fractal levels
4. Optional HH, LH, LL, HL finder.
5. Optional Buy/Sell "PB" exit Alerts with Optional 200EMA filter.
6. Coloured coded Bar high lighting based on the PAC:
blue = bar closed above PAC
red = bar closed below PAC
gray = bar closed inside PAC
7. Alert condition sent to TradingView's Alarm subsystem for PB exits.
8. Pivot points with optional labels.
9. EMA5-12 Ribbon is displayed by default.
10.EMA12-36 Ribbon is displayed by default
Set up and hints:
I am unable to provide a full description here, as Pullback Trading incorporates a full trading Methodology, there are a number of articles and books written on the subject.
Set the chart to Heikin Ashi Candles (optional).
I also add a "Sweetspot Gold R3" indicator to the chart as well to help with support and resistance finding and shows where the important "00" lines are.
First on a weekly basis say Sunday night or Monday morning, analyse the Daily and Weekly charts to establish overall trends, and support/resistant levels. Draw significant mini trend lines (2/3 TL), vertical trend lines (VTL) and S/R levels. Can use the Pivots points to guide VTL drawing and Fractals to help guide 2/3 TL drawing.
Once the trend direction and any potential major reversals highlighted, drop down to lower timeframe chart and draw appropriate mini Trend line (2/3 TL) matching the established momentum direction. Take note of potential pull backs from and of the EMAs, in particular the EMA5-12 ribbon, EMA12-36 Ribbon and the 200EMA. Can use the Pivots and/or Fractals points to guide your 2/3 TL drawing.
Set a TradingView alarm on the "PBTOOL alert", with the default settings this normally occurs before or during the Break of the manually drawn TL lines.
Once alerted check to see if the TL is broken and is returning to trend away from the EMA lines, this is indicated by bar colour change to trend directional colour.
You can trade that alert or drop down to even lower time frames and perform the same TL analysis there to find trades at the lower TF. Trading at lower TF you will allow tighter Stop loss settings.
Other than the "SweetSpot Gold R3" indicator, you should not need any other indicator to successfully trade trends for Pullbacks and reversals. If you really want another indicator I suggest a momentum one for example: AO ( Awesome Oscillator ), MACD or Squeeze Momentum.
KK_Average Directional Index (ADX) Higher TFHey guys,
sometimes you just want to plot an Indicator value from a higher Timeframe on your Chart. For most Indicators this is pretty straightforward however there is one Indicator that has been giving me quite a headache while trying to do this: The Average Directional Index . Anyway after going through almost 200 versions of this script I finally found a solution that works and thought I would share this with you, since I'm sure some of you have encountered the same problem.
How it works
Go to your desired Instrument/Timeframe and add the Script
Under Settings in the field for "Higher ADX TF" put the Timeframe-code you want to pull the ADX Values from.
- Codes: Monthly - M, Weekly W, Daily - D
- Codes Intraday: The amount of hours in minutes, e.g. if you want to pull values from the 4h-Chart the code is 240 (60 for 1h, 15 for 15m ...)
In some cases (see below) the calculation might not be correct. So make sure the values are correct:
a) Write down the latest ADX of the higher TF while you are on the lower TF
b) Switch the Resolution to the higher TF
c) Compare the value you have just written down to the next to last value. They should be the same.
d) Switch back the Resolution to the lower TF and you're good to go.
Limitations
You can only pull values from higher Timeframes, e.g. you're on a 4h Chart, so you can only pull values from the Daily, Weekly and Monthly Chart. You can't pull values from the 1h Chart.
You can only pull values from Timeframes, where the higher Timeframe Close always has a corresponding Close on the lower Timeframe, e.g. you can't pull values from the 3h Chart when you are on a 2h Chart. This should be pretty rare.
The Script needs a certain amount of Data from the Higher TF before the calculated values are correct. I have tested this on several Instruments and the Script usually needs approximately 100 Bars on the higher Timeframe (often less) for the values to be correct (error < 1%).
So when the difference between your lower Timeframe and you higher Timeframe is large, e.g. you want to pull the Daily ADX value on a 15m-Chart, the calculation can be wrong. This can lead to errors in 2 Cases:
a) Backtesting: When you go over old data and get close to the last available Bar the Data will be wrong. This will limit the amount of data you can backtest.
b) Live values: When the difference between the two Timeframes is too large, it is possible that even live values are wrong, e.g. this will be the case when you are trying to pull the Daily ADX value on a 5 minute Chart. Always check if the calculation works with your desired combination of Timeframes before using it (see above).
I hope this is useful for you and whish all of you successful trading!
Best regards

Auto Pivots with S/R LevelsPlots out the pivot point with corresponding Support / Resistance levels.
It will automatically determine the time frame to calculate pivots based on the current view resolution.
Monthly resolution will pull a yearly pivot
Weekly resolution will pull a monthly pivot
Daily view will pull a weekly pivot
Intraday view will pull a daily pivot.
You have the choice of using Standard pivots or Fibonacci pivots
You can choose to only display the most recent pivot or all pivots
You can chose to extend the most recent pivot across the whole chart as a price line
TODO:
- Add in the ability to choose how far back historically to display pivots
- Add in calculations for smaller resolutions to calculate off lower time frames. EX: minute resolution should pull hour time frame to calculate pivots.
Herrick Payoff Index for Quandl DataUpdate to my previous Herrick Payoff Index script. This script pulls Quandl futures data with daily open interest. The prior version only used the weekly Commitment of Traders open interest data so could only be used on weekly bars. Note: Must use Quandl Symbol methodology in chart (i.e. enter symbol as QUANDL:CHRIS/CME_FC2, QUANDL:CME/FCX2016, ect.). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to program this to pull from the embedded futures data.
UCS_S_Stochastic Pop and Drop StrategyMy Contribution to Jake Bernstein Educational Series, Initiated by Chris Moody.
The Stochastic Pop was developed by Jake Bernstein and modified by David Steckler. Bernstein's original Stochastic Pop is a trading strategy that identifies price pops when the Stochastic Oscillator surges above 80. Steckler modified this strategy by adding conditional filters using the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the weekly Stochastic Oscillator.
Modifications
1. Weekly Stochastic Oscillator for Trading Bias = 5* Daily Stochastic
2. Optional Volume Confirmation, Custom Average Volume Length
Future Plans
1. Adding Triggers for Entry, Stops and Target. - This will be release when we have ability to code the complete Strategy. Although it can be done with the current pinescript options, it would be far more easier if we have strategy ability.

Repeating Trend HighlighterThis custom indicator helps you see when the current price trend is similar to a past trend over the same number of candles. Think of it like checking whether the market is repeating itself.
You choose three settings:
• Lookback Period: This is how many candles you want to measure. For example, if you set it to 10, it looks at the price change over the last 10 bars.
• Offset Bars Ago: This tells the indicator how far back in time to look for a similar move. If you set it to 50, it compares the current move to what happened 50 bars earlier.
• Tolerance (%): This is how closely the moves must match to be considered similar. A smaller number means you only get a signal if the moves are almost the same, while a larger number allows more flexibility.
When the current price move is close enough to the past move you picked, the background of your chart turns light green. This makes it easy to spot repeating trends without studying numbers manually.
You’ll also see two lines under your chart if you enable them: a blue line showing the percentage change of the current move and an orange line showing the change in the past move. These help you compare visually.
This tool is useful in several ways. You can use it to confirm your trading setups, for example if you suspect that a strong rally or pullback is happening again. You can also use it to filter trades by combining it with other indicators, so you only enter when trends repeat. Many traders use it as a learning tool, experimenting with different lookback periods and offsets to understand how often similar moves happen.
If you are a scalper working on short timeframes, you can set the lookback to a small number like 3–5 bars. Swing traders who prefer daily or weekly charts might use longer lookbacks like 20–30 bars.
Keep in mind that this indicator doesn’t guarantee price will move the same way again—it only shows similarity in how price changed over time. It works best when you use it together with other signals or market context.
In short, it’s like having a simple spotlight that tells you: “This move looks a lot like what happened before.” You can then decide if you want to act on that information.
If you’d like, I can help you tweak the settings or combine it with alerts so it notifies you when these patterns appear.

Logarithmic Moving Average (LMA) [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Logarithmic Moving Average (LMA) uses advanced logarithmic weighting to create a dynamic trend-following indicator that prioritizes recent price action while maintaining statistical significance. Unlike traditional moving averages that use linear or exponential weights, this indicator employs logarithmic decay functions to create a more sophisticated price averaging system that adapts to market volatility and momentum conditions.
The indicator displays a smoothed signal line that oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum. The signal incorporates trend quality assessment, momentum confirmation, and multiple filtering mechanisms to help traders and investors identify trend continuation and reversal opportunities across different timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core innovation lies in its logarithmic weighting system, where weights are calculated using the formula: w = 1.0 / math.pow(math.log(i + steepness), 2) The steepness parameter controls how aggressively recent data is prioritized over historical data, creating a dynamic weight decay that can be fine-tuned for different trading styles. This logarithmic approach provides more nuanced weight distribution compared to exponential moving averages, offering better responsiveness while maintaining stability.
The LMA calculation combines multiple sophisticated components. First, it calculates the logarithmic weighted average of closing prices. Then it measures the slope of this average over a 10-period lookback: lmaSlope = (lma - lma ) / lma * 100 The system also incorporates trend quality assessment using R-squared correlation analysis of log-transformed prices, measuring how well the price data fits a linear trend model over the specified period.
The final signal generation uses the formula: signal = lmaSlope * (0.5 + rSquared * 0.5) which combines the LMA slope with trend quality weighting. When momentum confirmation is enabled, the indicator calculates annualized log-return momentum and applies a multiplier when the momentum direction aligns with the signal direction, strengthening confirmed signals while filtering out weak or counter-trend movements.
🟢 How to Use
1. Signal Interpretation and Threshold Zones
Positive Values (Above Zero): LMA slope indicating bullish momentum with upward price trajectory relative to logarithmic baseline
Negative Values (Below Zero): LMA slope indicating bearish momentum with downward price trajectory relative to logarithmic baseline
Zero Line Crosses: Signal transitions between bullish and bearish regimes, indicating potential trend changes
Long Entry Threshold Zone: Area above positive threshold (default 0.5) indicating confirmed bullish signals suitable for long positions
Short Entry Threshold Zone: Area below negative threshold (default -0.5) indicating confirmed bearish signals suitable for short positions
Extreme Values: Signals exceeding ±1.0 represent strong momentum conditions with higher probability of continuation
2. Momentum Confirmation and Visual Analysis
Signal Color Intensity: Gradient coloring shows signal strength, with brighter colors indicating stronger momentum
Bar Coloring: Optional price bar coloring matches signal direction for quick visual trend identification
Position Labels: Real-time position classification (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) displayed on the latest bar
Momentum Weight Factor: When short-term log-return momentum aligns with LMA signal direction, the signal receives additional weight confirmation
Trend Quality Component: R-squared values weight the signal strength, with higher correlation indicating more reliable trend conditions
3. Examples: Preconfigured Settings
Default: Universally applicable configuration balanced for medium-term investing and general trading across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
Scalping: Highly responsive setup with shorter period and higher steepness for ultra-short-term trades on 1-15 minute charts, optimized for quick momentum shifts.
Swing Trading: Extended period with moderate steepness and increased smoothing for multi-day positions, designed to filter noise while capturing larger price swings on 1-4 hour and daily charts.
Trend Following: Maximum smoothing with lower steepness for established trend identification, generating fewer but more reliable signals optimal for daily and weekly timeframes.
Mean Reversion: Shorter period with high steepness for counter-trend strategies, more sensitive to extreme moves and reversal opportunities in ranging market conditions.
