Enhanced McClellan Summation Index
The Enhanced McClellan Summation Index (MSI) is a comprehensive tool that transforms the MSI indicator with Heikin-Ashi visualization, offering improved trend analysis and momentum insights. This indicator includes MACD and it's histogram calculations to refine trend signals, minimize false positives and offer additional momentum analysis.
Methodology:
McClellan Summation Index (MSI) -
The MSI begins by calculating the ratio between advancing and declining issues in the specified index.
float decl = 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴
float adv = 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴
float ratio = (adv - decl) / (adv + decl)
It then computes a cumulative sum of the MACD (the difference between a 19-period EMA and a 39-period EMA) of this ratio. The result is a smoothed indicator reflecting market breadth and momentum.
macd(float r) =>
ta.ema(r, 19) - ta.ema(r, 39)
float msi = ta.cum(macd(ratio))
Heikin-Ashi Transformation -
Heikin-Ashi is a technique that uses a modified candlestick formula to create a smoother representation of price action. It averages the open, close, high, and low prices of the current and previous periods. This transformation reduces noise and provides a clearer view of trends.
type bar
float o = open
float h = high
float l = low
float c = close
bar b = bar.new()
float ha_close = math.avg(b.o, b.h, b.l, b.c)
MACD and Histogram -
The Enhanced MSI incorporates MACD and histogram calculations to provide additional momentum analysis and refine trend signals. The MACD represents the difference between the 12-period EMA and the 26-period EMA of the MSI. The histogram is the visual representation of the difference between the MACD and its signal line.
Options:
Index Selection - Choose from TVC:NYA , NASDAQ:NDX , or TVC:XAX to tailor the MSI-HA to the desired market index.
MACD Settings - Adjust the parameters for the MACD calculation to fine-tune the indicator's responsiveness.
Ratio Multiplier - Apply scaling to the MSI to suit different market conditions and indices.
Benefits of Heikin-Ashi -
Smoothed Trends - Heikin-Ashi reduces market noise, providing a more apparent and smoothed representation of trends.
Clearer Patterns - Candlestick patterns are more distinct, aiding in the identification of trend reversals and continuations.
Utility and Use Cases:
Trend & Momentum Analysis - Utilize the tool's Heikin-Ashi visualization for clearer trend identification in confluence with it's MACD and histogram to gain additional insights into the strength and direction of trends, while filtering out potential false positives.
Breadth Analysis - Explore market breadth through the MSI's cumulative breadth indicator, gauging the overall health and strength of the underlying market.
- Alerts Setup Guide -
The Enhanced MSI is a robust indicator that combines the breadth analysis of the McClellan Summation Index with the clarity of Heikin-Ashi visualization and additional momentum insights from MACD and histogram calculations. Its customization options make it adaptable to various indices and market conditions, offering traders a comprehensive tool for trend and momentum analysis.

McClellan Indicators (Oscillator, Summation Index w/ RSI & MACD)Four indicators in one based on the McClellan Oscillator for both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchanges. Designed to be used in conjunction with each other- plot the Oscillator (Osc), Summation Index (MSI), and RSI/MACD of the MSI on both your SPX and Nasdaq chart. Select the exchange and indicator within the settings. These tools are secondary- but when the signals are combined with the action of the index and stocks can be helpful in identifying market turns and trend strength.
McClellan Oscillator--
The Osc is a market breadth tool that uses a fast and slow EMA based on the difference between advancing and declining stocks on the exchange. Used primarily to identify breadth thrusts, divergences, and extremes (oversold/overbought). Plot horizontal levels to see when the market internals are extremely overbought or oversold, and take note of when the Osc is declining while the market is advancing or vice versa.
McClellan Summation Index--
For intermediate trends the MSI is a running total of the Osc which can be used to confirm the strength of a trend, and spot potential reversals. A 10 period ema is included on this indicator, where crossovers can aid in spotting the change in trend of market internals, and divergences can identify when market internals are not in line with the trend. Shading is applied for when the internals are in a bullish or bearish trend.
Two additional indicators are the RSI and MACD of the Summation Index. An overbought or oversold MSI RSI generally indicates a strong trend in the market internals, however you may want to take note when the RSI stalls and begins to "hook" in the opposite direction. This indicator has signals to show when the market internals may be turning and to be on lookout for trend change.
Similarly- the MACD of the MSI identifies the strength of the trend, and crossovers can be used to help spot reversals. Shading is included in this indicator to spot the bullish/bearish trend of internals.

[Unxi]McClellan Summation Index for DAX 30 (GER30) [modified]About McClellan Summation Index
The McClellan Summation Index is a market breadth indicator which was developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan. It is based on the McClellan Oscillator and add its values together, effectively running a total. The index goes up when the McClellan Oscillator is positive and goes down when it is negative. Signals can be derived from the index crossing the middle line (bullish when it's crossing up and bearish when it's crossing down). Other potential signals include divergences and overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is best used in combination with other analysis techniques.
About this implementation
This version here is a modification of the McClellan Summation Index.
It runs the simple version of the McClellan Oscillator and uses the simple method to calculate the Summation Index. No ratios are used in this implementation.
Further information:
- It can only be used on the DAX index ( DAX 30 or GER 30)
- It only considers the DAX 30 stocks
- The data window will provide a summary about rising and declining stocks
- The data window will output the last change for each of the 30 stocks
- The script is pretty slow because it has to calculate the change for each bar individually (instead of receiving a complete calculation from the stock exchange).
DISCLAIMER
This script was mainly written for educational purposes (training myself how to write custom indicatotors).
As you can see, the code is really messy.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION: This script will work on any time period. It is recommended to use it with timeperiod = 1d, though. Just use whatever timeperiod you are comfortable with, the indicator will automatically adjust accordingly.

[KY]McClellan Summation Index RSIThis script contains McClellan Summation Index(MSI) and McClellan Oscillator(MO)
(1) What is McClellan Summation Index(MSI)
McClellan Summation Index(MSI) is a breadth indicator derived the McClellan Oscillator(MO),
which is a breadth indicator based on Net Advances (advancing issues less declining issues).
The Summation Index is simply a running total of the McClellan Oscillator values.
To identify the market direction, I prefer to use the relative strength(RSI) of MSI rather than MSI itself
because MSI is a summation so it's difficult to compare with previous market patterns. So I use RSI applied MSI.
Reference: Stockcharts.com has a nice set of detailed explanation about MSI.
school.stockcharts.com
(2) How to use this script
- Add this script to your chart.
- You can choose one of two options ("MSI RSI" or "MO").
- You can also choose the market from three options ("Nasdaq", "NYSE", "Nasdaq+NYSE")
(3) "MSI RSI" or "MO"
a) "MSI RSI"
For swing trade(sevelal weeks), MSI RSI is much better to identify the broad market direction.
I backtested last several years of S&P500. The result was not symmetrical between MT bear/bull market.
For bull side, when MSI RSI curls up from the bottom(e.g. RSI 30 level), 90% of times out of them the market rallied.
For bear side, when MSI RSI rolles over to downside from the top(e.g. RSI 70 level), only 60% of times out of them the market declined.
So the market tends to hit negatively diverrgent high from advancing/declining issues perspective. Be careful to use MSI oscilator.
b) "MO"
For short term trade(intraday, 2-3 days of holding), MO is better because MSI is a summation so lags several days. MO is quick.
MO is sometimes very noisy, so you need to draw trendlines or horizontal levels to compare with the previous cases.
For beginners, I recommend to use "MSI RSI".
McClellan Summation Index [LazyBear]McClellan Summation Index is a breadth indicator derived from McClellan Oscillator ().
The Summation Index is simply a running total of the McClellan Oscillator values. Even though it is called a Summation Index, the indicator is really an oscillator that fluctuates above/below zero. As such, signals can be derived from bullish/bearish divergences, directional movement and centerline crossovers. A moving average can also be applied to identify upturns and downturns.
Indicator uses the advancing/declining stocks from NYSE by default, but you can change them to any market in the options dialog.
