Gap Finder with Box FillSetup and Inputs
The indicator checks the current and previous candles to find gaps, using a color input for filling the gap area on the chart.
Gap Detection:
If the current candle opens higher than the previous close and doesn’t overlap with the previous candle’s range, it marks this as a gap-up.
If the current candle opens lower than the previous close without overlap, it’s marked as a gap-down.
Drawing the Gap:
When a gap-up or gap-down is found, the script draws a box from the previous close to the current candle’s low or high, filling it with the chosen color.
Benefits
Visual Aid: The filled box highlights gaps, making them easy to spot on the chart.
Trade Signals: Gaps can show strong market moves, helping traders spot potential entries or watch for reversals.
Customizable: You can adjust the color to fit your chart style, making the gaps stand out clearly.
This simple tool gives traders a quick view of gaps, which are often key points of interest in technical analysis.

MMRI Chart (Primary)The **Mannarino Market Risk Indicator (MMRI)** is a financial risk measurement tool created by financial strategist Gregory Mannarino. It’s designed to assess the risk level in the stock market and economy based on current bond market conditions and the strength of the U.S. dollar. The MMRI considers factors like the U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield and the Dollar Index (DXY), which indicate investor confidence in government debt and the dollar's purchasing power, respectively.
The formula for MMRI uses the 10-Year Treasury Yield multiplied by the Dollar Index, divided by a constant (1.61) to normalize the risk measure. A higher MMRI score suggests increased market risk, while a lower score indicates more stability. Mannarino has set certain thresholds to interpret the MMRI score:
- **Below 100**: Low risk.
- **100–200**: Moderate risk.
- **200–300**: High risk.
- **Above 300**: Extreme risk, indicating market instability and potential downturns.
This tool aims to provide insight into economic conditions that may affect asset classes like stocks, bonds, and precious metals. Mannarino often updates MMRI scores and risk analyses in his public market updates.
Colored Moving Averages With RSI SignalsMoving Average (MA):
Helps to determine the overall market trend. If the price is above the MA, it may indicate an uptrend, and if below, a downtrend.
In this case, a Simple Moving Average (SMA) is used, but other types can be applied as well.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
This is an oscillator that measures the speed and changes of price movements.
Values above 70 indicate overbought conditions (possible sell signal), while values below 30 indicate oversold conditions (possible buy signal).
Purpose of This Indicator:
Trading Signals: The indicator generates "Buy" and "Sell" signals based on the intersection of the price line and the moving average, as well as RSI values. This helps traders make more informed decisions.
Signal Filtering: Using RSI in combination with MA allows for filtering false signals since it considers not only the current trend but also the state of overbought or oversold conditions.
How to Use:
For Short-Term Trading: Traders can use buy and sell signals to enter trades based on short-term market fluctuations.
In Combination with Other Indicators: It can be combined with other indicators for a more comprehensive analysis (e.g., adding support and resistance levels).
Overall, this indicator helps traders respond more quickly and accurately to changes in market conditions, enhancing the chances of successful trades.

- The number of times price touches the level (touch count method)
- The total volume traded when price is at the level (volume method)
The most active levels are highlighted based on this activity data
Understanding Touch Count vs Volume
Touch count method: Useful for identifying key support/resistance levels based on price action alone
Volume method: Provides insight into levels where the most trading activity occurs, potentially indicating stronger support/resistance
Practical Applications
Trend identification and strength assessment
Support and resistance level discovery
Entry and exit point optimization
Volume profile analysis for improved market structure understanding
This Linear Regression Channel indicator combines powerful statistical analysis with flexible visualization options, making it an invaluable tool for traders and analysts across various timeframes and markets.

SMC Order Block & Liquidity EntryThe SMC Order Block and Liquidity Trap Entry Strategy script uses Smart Money Concepts (SMC), which analyze institutional actions in the market, to assist traders in identifying high-probability trades. In order to help traders match their entry with institutional activity, this script highlights important regions of interest, including order blocks, liquidity zones, and indications for Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
The fundamental ideas of this approach, which focuses on regions where institutions frequently make sizable orders or sweep liquidity, are based on SMC principles. Order blocks, which are frequently important support or resistance zones when institutions are involved, are the final bullish or bearish candle before a significant price move in the other direction. There are liquidity zones that show where retail stop-loss orders build up (above recent highs or below recent lows), such as Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL). Before changing the direction of the price, institutions could target these zones, giving traders possible chances.
The script depicts liquidity levels above or below recent highs and lows, automatically finds order blocks within a specified lookback time, and looks for BOS (a continuation signal) or CHoCH (a reversal signal). When liquidity retests inside an order block coincide with BOS or CHoCH circumstances, entry signals are produced. While short entries are triggered when the price breaks below the order block and SSL, long entry alerts are triggered when the price breaks above the order block and BSL.
Power Root SuperTrend [AlgoAlpha]📈🚀 Power Root SuperTrend by AlgoAlpha - Elevate Your Trading Strategy! 🌟
Introducing the Power Root SuperTrend by AlgoAlpha, an advanced trading indicator that enhances the traditional SuperTrend by incorporating Root-Mean-Square (RMS) calculations for a more responsive and adaptive trend detection. This innovative tool is designed to help traders identify trend directions, potential take-profit levels, and optimize entry and exit points with greater accuracy, making it an excellent addition to your trading arsenal.
Key Features:
🔹 Root-Mean-Square SuperTrend Calculation : Utilizes the RMS of closing prices to create a smoother and more sensitive SuperTrend line that adapts quickly to market changes.
🔸 Multiple Take-Profit Levels : Automatically calculates and plots up to seven take-profit levels (TP1 to TP7) based on market volatility and the change in SuperTrend values.
🟢 Dynamic Trend Coloring : Visually distinguish between bullish and bearish trends with customizable colors for clearer market visualization.
📊 RSI-Based Take-Profit Signals : Incorporates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of the distance between the price and the SuperTrend line to generate additional take-profit signals.
🔔 Customizable Alerts : Set alerts for trend direction changes, achievement of take-profit levels, and RSI-based take-profit conditions to stay informed without constant chart monitoring.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator : Add the indicator to favorites by pressing the ⭐ icon or search for "Power Root SuperTrend " in the TradingView indicators library and add it to your chart. Adjust parameters such as the ATR multiplier, ATR length, RMS length, and RSI take-profit length to suit your trading style and the specific asset you are analyzing.
Analyze the Chart : Observe the SuperTrend line and the plotted take-profit levels. The color changes indicate trend directions—green for bullish and red for bearish trends.
Set Alerts : Utilize the built-in alert conditions to receive notifications when the trend direction changes, when each TP level is drawn, or when RSI-based take-profit conditions are met.
How It Works:
The Power Root SuperTrend indicator enhances traditional SuperTrend calculations by applying a Root-Mean-Square (RMS) function to the closing prices, resulting in a more responsive trend line that better reflects recent price movements. It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the volatility and sets the upper and lower SuperTrend bands accordingly. When a trend direction change is detected—signified by the SuperTrend line switching from above to below the price or vice versa—the indicator calculates the change in the SuperTrend value. This change is then used to establish multiple take-profit levels (TP1 to TP7), each representing incremental targets based on market volatility. Additionally, the indicator computes the RSI of the distance between the current price and the SuperTrend line to generate extra take-profit signals when the RSI crosses under a specific threshold. The combination of RMS calculations, multiple TP levels, dynamic coloring, and RSI signals provides traders with a comprehensive tool for identifying trends and optimizing trade exits. Customizable alerts ensure that traders can stay updated on important market developments without needing to constantly watch the charts.
Elevate your trading strategy with the Power Root SuperTrend indicator and gain a smarter edge in the markets! 🚀✨

SMA- Ashish SinghSMA
This script implements a Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossover strategy using three SMAs: 200-day, 50-day, and 20-day, with buy and sell signals triggered based on specific conditions involving these moving averages. The indicator is overlaid on the price chart, providing visual cues for potential buy and sell opportunities based on moving average crossovers.
Key Features:
Moving Averages:
The 200-day, 50-day, and 20-day SMAs are calculated and plotted on the price chart. These are key levels that traders use to assess trends.
The 200-day SMA represents the long-term trend, the 50-day SMA is used for medium-term trends, and the 20-day SMA is for short-term analysis.
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is triggered when the price is below all three moving averages (200 SMA, 50 SMA, 20 SMA) and the SMAs are in a specific downward trend (200 SMA > 50 SMA > 20 SMA). This is an indication of a potential upward reversal.
The buy signal is marked with a green triangle below the price bar.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is triggered when the price is above all three moving averages and the SMAs are in a specific upward trend (200 SMA < 50 SMA < 20 SMA). This signals a potential downward reversal.
The sell signal is marked with a red triangle above the price bar.
Trade Information:
After a buy signal, the buy price, bar index, and timestamp are recorded. When a sell signal occurs, the percentage gain or loss is calculated along with the number of days between the buy and sell signals.
The script automatically displays a label on the chart showing the gain or loss percentage along with the number of days the trade lasted. Green labels represent gains, and red labels represent losses.
User-friendly Visuals:
The buy and sell signals are plotted as small triangles directly on the chart for easy identification.
Detailed trade information is provided with well-formatted labels to highlight the profit or loss after each trade.
How It Works:
This strategy helps traders to identify trend reversals by leveraging long-term and short-term moving averages.
A single buy or sell signal is triggered based on price movement relative to the SMAs and their order.

IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!

Daily Volatility Limit Channel
Hello, this is the simplest yet most powerful tool I have discovered regarding volatility. Using the ATR17 value based on a 4-hour timeframe, this tool displays the most significant volatility thresholds for the day, clearly showing when strong trends occur as these boundaries are breached. Once a boundary is crossed, the price of Bitcoin (as well as other actively traded asset classes like stocks and futures) tends to continue moving in the direction of the breakout. If the price reaches a boundary but fails to break through, this point often becomes the lowest point of pullback or correction, effectively serving as a pivot point and the optimal entry for buying.
The indicator features color and arrow options, enhancing your trading experience. The arrows appear below the candles when the trend changes to an upward impulse and above the candles when it shifts to a downward impulse. This visual aid allows traders to quickly identify trend reversals and make informed decisions.
In summary, this tool effectively highlights volatility limits and trend reversals, making it a valuable asset for any trader looking to navigate the market efficiently.
This indicator is recommended for use on 2-hour or 4-hour candlestick charts. These timeframes allow for clearer visualization of volatility and help effectively identify strong trends and volatility boundaries.

Z-Score RSI StrategyOverview
The Z-Score RSI Indicator is an experimental take on momentum analysis. By applying the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to a Z-score of price data, it measures how far prices deviate from their mean, scaled by standard deviation. This isn’t your traditional use of RSI, which is typically based on price data alone. Nevertheless, this unconventional approach can yield unique insights into market trends and potential reversals.
Theory and Interpretation
The RSI calculates the balance between average gains and losses over a set period, outputting values from 0 to 100. Typically, people look at the overbought or oversold levels to identify momentum extremes that might be likely to lead to a reversal. However, I’ve often found that RSI can be effective for trend-following when observing the crossover of its moving average with the midline or the crossover of the RSI with its own moving average. These crossovers can provide useful trend signals in various market conditions.
By combining RSI with a Z-score of price, this indicator estimates the relative strength of the price’s distance from its mean. Positive Z-score trends may signal a potential for higher-than-average prices in the near future (scaled by the standard deviation), while negative trends suggest the opposite. Essentially, when the Z-Score RSI indicates a trend, it reflects that the Z-score (the distance between the average and current price) is likely to continue moving in the trend’s direction. Generally, this signals a potential price movement, though it’s important to note that this could also occur if there’s a shift in the mean or standard deviation, rather than a meaningful change in price itself.
While the Z-Score RSI could be an insightful addition to a comprehensive trading system, it should be interpreted carefully. Mean shifts may validate the indicator’s predictions without necessarily indicating any notable price change, meaning it’s best used in tandem with other indicators or strategies.
Recommendations
Before putting this indicator to use, conduct thorough backtesting and avoid overfitting. The added parameters allow fine-tuning to fit various assets, but be careful not to optimize purely for the highest historical returns. Doing so may create an overly tailored strategy that performs well in backtests but fails in live markets. Keep it balanced and look for robust performance across multiple scenarios, as overfitting is likely to lead to disappointing real-world results.
Quick scan for cycles🙏🏻
The followup for
As I told before, ML based algorading is all about detecting any kind of non-randomness & exploiting it (cuz allegedly u cant trade randomness), and cycles are legit patterns that can be leveraged
But bro would u really apply Fourier / Wavelets / 'whatever else heavy' on every update of thousands of datasets, esp in real time on HFT / nearly HFT data? That's why this metric. It works much faster & eats hell of a less electicity, will do initial rough filtering of time series that might contain any kind of cyclic behaviour. And then, only on these filtered datasets u gonna put Periodograms / Autocorrelograms and see what's going there for real. Better to do it 10x times less a day on 10x less datasets, right?
I ended up with 2 methods / formulas, I called em 'type 0' and 'type 1':
- type 0: takes sum of abs deviations from drift line, scales it by max abs deviation from the same drift line;
- type 1: takes sum of abs deviations from drift line, scales it by range of non-abs deviations from the same drift line.
Finnaly I've chosen type 0 , both logically (sum of abs dev divided by max abs dev makes more sense) and experimentally. About that actually, here are both formulas put on sine waves with uniform noise:
^^ generated sine wave with uniform noise
^^ both formulas on that wave
^^ both formulas on real data
As you can see type 0 is less affected by noise and shows higher values on synthetic data, but I decided to put type 1 inside as well, in case my analysis was not complete and on real data type 1 can actually be better since it has a lil higher info gain / info content (still not sure). But I can assure u that out of all other ways I've designed & tested for quite a time I tell you, these 2 are really the only ones who got there.
Now about dem thresholds and how to use it.
Both type 0 and type 1 can be modelled with Beta distribution, and based on it and on some obvious & tho non mainstream statistical modelling techniques, I got these thresholds, so these are not optimized overfitted values, but natural ones. Each type has 3 thresholds (from lowest to highest):
- typical value (turned off by default). aka basis ;
- typical deviation from typical value, aka deviation ;
- maximum modelled deviation from typical value (idk whow to call it properly for now, this is my own R&D), aka extension .
So when the metric is above one of these thresholds (which one is up to you, you'll read about it in a sec), it means that there might be a strong enough periodic signal inside the data, and the data got to be put through proper spectral analysis tools to confirm / deny it.
If you look at the pictures above again, you'll see gray signal, that's uniform noise. Take a look at it and see where does it sit comparing to the thresholds. Now you just undertand that picking up a threshold is all about the amount of false positives you care to withstand.
If you take basis as threshold, you'll get tons of false positives (that's why it's even turned off by default), but you'll almost never miss a true positive. If you take deviation as threshold, it's gonna be kinda balanced approach. If you take extension as threshold, you gonna miss some cycles, and gonna get only the strongest ones.
More true positives -> more false positives, less false positives -> less true positives, can't go around that mane
Just to be clear again, I am not completely sure yet, but I def lean towards type 0 as metric, and deviation as threshold.
Live Long and Prosper
P.S.: That was actually the main R&D of the last month, that script I've released earlier came out as derivative.
P.S.: These 2 are the first R&Ds made completely in " art-space", St. Petersburg. Come and see me, say wassup🤘🏻
S&P 100 Option Expiration Week StrategyThe Option Expiration Week Strategy aims to capitalize on increased volatility and trading volume that often occur during the week leading up to the expiration of options on stocks in the S&P 100 index. This period, known as the option expiration week, culminates on the third Friday of each month when stock options typically expire in the U.S. During this week, investors in this strategy take a long position in S&P 100 stocks or an equivalent ETF from the Monday preceding the third Friday, holding until Friday. The strategy capitalizes on potential upward price pressures caused by increased option-related trading activity, rebalancing, and hedging practices.
The phenomenon leveraged by this strategy is well-documented in finance literature. Studies demonstrate that options expiration dates have a significant impact on stock returns, trading volume, and volatility. This effect is driven by various market dynamics, including portfolio rebalancing, delta hedging by option market makers, and the unwinding of positions by institutional investors (Stoll & Whaley, 1987; Ni, Pearson, & Poteshman, 2005). These market activities intensify near option expiration, causing price adjustments that may create short-term profitable opportunities for those aware of these patterns (Roll, Schwartz, & Subrahmanyam, 2009).
The paper by Johnson and So (2013), Returns and Option Activity over the Option-Expiration Week for S&P 100 Stocks, provides empirical evidence supporting this strategy. The study analyzes the impact of option expiration on S&P 100 stocks, showing that these stocks tend to exhibit abnormal returns and increased volume during the expiration week. The authors attribute these patterns to intensified option trading activity, where demand for hedging and arbitrage around options expiration causes temporary price adjustments.
Scientific Explanation
Research has found that option expiration weeks are marked by predictable increases in stock returns and volatility, largely due to the role of options market makers and institutional investors. Option market makers often use delta hedging to manage exposure, which requires frequent buying or selling of the underlying stock to maintain a hedged position. As expiration approaches, their activity can amplify price fluctuations. Additionally, institutional investors often roll over or unwind positions during expiration weeks, creating further demand for underlying stocks (Stoll & Whaley, 1987). This increased demand around expiration week typically leads to temporary stock price increases, offering profitable opportunities for short-term strategies.

This study examines the relationship between options market liquidity and stock return volatility, finding that increased liquidity needs during expiration weeks can heighten volatility, impacting stock returns.
Summary
The Option Expiration Week Strategy utilizes well-researched financial market phenomena related to option expiration. By positioning long in S&P 100 stocks or ETFs during this period, traders can potentially capture abnormal returns driven by option market dynamics. The literature suggests that options-related activities—such as delta hedging, position rollovers, and portfolio adjustments—intensify demand for underlying assets, creating short-term profit opportunities around these key dates.
Payday Anomaly StrategyThe "Payday Effect" refers to a predictable anomaly in financial markets where stock returns exhibit significant fluctuations around specific pay periods. Typically, these are associated with the beginning, middle, or end of the month when many investors receive wages and salaries. This influx of funds, often directed automatically into retirement accounts or investment portfolios (such as 401(k) plans in the United States), temporarily increases the demand for equities. This phenomenon has been linked to a cycle where stock prices rise disproportionately on and around payday periods due to increased buy-side liquidity.
Academic research on the payday effect suggests that this pattern is tied to systematic cash flows into financial markets, primarily driven by employee retirement and savings plans. The regularity of these cash infusions creates a calendar-based pattern that can be exploited in trading strategies. Studies show that returns on days around typical payroll dates tend to be above average, and this pattern remains observable across various time periods and regions.
The rationale behind the payday effect is rooted in the behavioral tendencies of investors, specifically the automatic reinvestment mechanisms used in retirement funds, which align with monthly or semi-monthly salary payments. This regular injection of funds can cause market microstructure effects where stock prices temporarily increase, only to stabilize or reverse after the funds have been invested. Consequently, the payday effect provides traders with a potentially profitable opportunity by predicting these inflows.

Summary
Research on the payday effect highlights a repeating pattern in stock market returns driven by scheduled payroll investments. This cyclical increase in stock demand aligns with behavioral finance insights and market microstructure theories, offering a valuable basis for trading strategies focused on the beginning, middle, and end of each month.
XAUUSD 10-Minute StrategyThis XAUUSD 10-Minute Strategy is designed for trading Gold vs. USD on a 10-minute timeframe. By combining multiple technical indicators (MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and ATR), the strategy effectively captures both trend-following and reversal opportunities, with adaptive risk management for varying market volatility. This approach balances high-probability entries with robust volatility management, making it suitable for traders seeking to optimise entries during significant price movements and reversals.
Key Components and Logic:
MACD (12, 26, 9):
Generates buy signals on MACD Line crossovers above the Signal Line and sell signals on crossovers below the Signal Line, helping to capture momentum shifts.
RSI (14):
Utilizes oversold (below 35) and overbought (above 65) levels as a secondary filter to validate entries and avoid overextended price zones.
Bollinger Bands (20, 2):
Uses upper and lower Bollinger Bands to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions, aiming to enter long trades near the lower band and short trades near the upper band.
ATR-Based Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are dynamically set as multiples of ATR (3x for stop loss, 5x for take profit), ensuring flexibility with market volatility to optimise exit points.
Entry & Exit Conditions:
Buy Entry: T riggered when any of the following conditions are met:
MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line
RSI is oversold
Price drops below the lower Bollinger Band
Sell Entry: Triggered when any of the following conditions are met:
MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line
RSI is overbought
Price moves above the upper Bollinger Band
Exit Strategy: Trades are closed based on opposing entry signals, with adaptive spread adjustments for realistic exit points.

Equilibrium Candles + Pattern [Honestcowboy]The Equilibrium Candles is a very simple trend continuation or reversal strategy depending on your settings.
How an Equilibrium Candle is created:
We calculate the equilibrium by measuring the mid point between highest and lowest point over X amount of bars back.
This now is the opening price for each bar and will be considered a green bar if price closes above equilibrium.
Bars get shaded by checking if regular candle close is higher than open etc. So you still see what the normal candles are doing.
Why are they useful?
The equilibrium is calculated the same as Baseline in Ichimoku Cloud. Which provides a point where price is very likely to retrace to. This script visualises the distance between close and equilibrium using candles. To provide a clear visual of how price relates to this equilibrium point.
This also makes it more straightforward to develop strategies based on this simple concept and makes the trader purely focus on this relationship and not think of any Ichimoku Cloud theories.
Script uses a very simple pattern to enter trades:
It will count how many candles have been one directional (above or below equilibrium)
Based on user input after X candles (7 by default) script shows we are in a trend (bg colors)
On the first pullback (candle closes on other side of equilibrium) it will look to enter a trade.
Places a stop order at the high of the candle if bullish trend or reverse if bearish trend.
If based on user input after X opposite candles (2 by default) order is not filled will cancel it and look for a new trend.
Use Reverse Logic:
There is a use reverse logic in the settings which on default is turned on. It will turn long orders into short orders making the stop orders become limit orders. It will use the normal long SL as target for the short. And TP as stop for the short. This to provide a means to reverse equity curve in case your pair is mean reverting by nature instead of trending.
ATR Calculation:
Averaged ATR, which is using ta.percentile_nearest_rank of 60% of a normal ATR (14 period) over the last 200 bars. This in simple words finds a value slightly above the mean ATR value over that period.
Big Candle Exit Logic:
Using Averaged ATR the script will check if a candle closes X times that ATR from the equilibrium point. This is then considered an overextension and all trades are closed.
This is also based on user input.
Simple trade management logic:
Checks if the user has selected to use TP and SL, or/and big candle exit.
Places a TP and SL based on averaged ATR at a multiplier based on user Input.
Closes trade if there is a Big Candle Exit or an opposite direction signal from indicator.
Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in % and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
There is also a simple buy and sell alert feature if you don't want to fully automate but still get alerts. These are available in the dropdown when creating an alert.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
The backtest uses a 4% exposure per trade and a 10 point slippage. I did not include a commission cause I'm not personaly aware what the commissions are on most forex brokers. I'm only aware of minimal slippage to use in a backtest. Trading conditions vary per broker you use so always pay close attention to trading costs on your own broker. Use a full automation at your own risk and discretion and do proper backtesting.
Economic Profit (YavuzAkbay)The Economic Profit Indicator is a Pine Script™ tool for assessing a company’s economic profit based on key financial metrics like Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). This indicator is designed to give traders a more accurate understanding of risk-adjusted returns.
Features
Customizable inputs for Risk-Free Rate and Corporate Tax Rate assets for people who are trading in other countries.
Calculates Economic Profit based on ROIC and WACC, with values shown as both plots and in an on-screen table.
Provides detailed breakdowns of all key calculations, enabling deeper insights into financial performance.
How to Use
Open the stock to be analyzed. In the settings, enter the risk-free asset (usually a 10-year bond) of the country where the company to be analyzed is located. Then enter the corporate tax of the country (USCTR for the USA, DECTR for Germany). Then enter the average return of the index the stock is in. I prefer 10% (0.10) for the SP500, different rates can be entered for different indices. Finally, the beta of the stock is entered. In future versions I will automatically pull beta and index returns, but in order to publish the indicator a bit earlier, I have left it entirely up to the investor.
How to Interpret
We see 3 pieces of data on the indicator. The dark blue one is ROIC, the dark orange one is WACC and the light blue line represents the difference between WACC and ROIC.
In a scenario where both ROIC and WACC are negative, if ROIC is lower than WACC, the share is at a complete economic loss.
In a scenario where both ROIC and WACC are negative, if ROIC has started to rise above WACC and is moving towards positive, the share is still in an economic loss but tending towards profit.
A scenario where ROIC is positive and WACC is negative is the most natural scenario for a company. In this scenario, we know that the company is doing well by a gradually increasing ROIC and a stable WACC.
In addition, if the ROIC and WACC difference line goes above 0, the company is now economically in net profit. This is the best scenario for a company.
My own investment strategy as a developer of the code is to look for the moment when ROIC is greater than WACC when ROIC and WACC are negative. At that point the stock is the best time to invest.
