EMA 9/21 with Target Price [SS]Hey everyone,
Coming back with my EMA 9/21 indicator.
My original one was removed a long time ago because I didn't really realize that there were already plenty of similar indicators (my bad!) but this one is my unique, Steversteves edition haha.
About the Indicator:
Essentially, it just combines the 2 only EMA's I ever really use (the 9 and 21) with an ATR based analysis to calculate the average range a ticker undergoes after an EMA 9 / 21 Cross-over and Cross-under.
You can see the major example being in the chart above. I use this for dramatic effect as SPY just happened to have topped at the second expected bull target on the daily. But obviously the intention for this indicator is to be used on the smaller timeframes. Let's take a look at some examples with various tickers.
TSLA:
So let's just use the previous day as example (which was Friday). If we look to the chart below:
TSLA did an EMA 9/21 crossover (bullish) in premarket. This put the immediate TP at 234.59. If we play out the chart:
We shot right to it at open.
We then did a cross under with a TP of 225.93, but that was not realized as the sentiment was too bullish. We then cross back over to the upside, putthing next TP at 238.88 which was realized:
NVDA:
On Friday, NVDA was a bit of a mess, lots of whipsaw off open. But once we finally had a cross under with 3 consecutive closes below the EMA9/21 on the 5 minute chart, it solidified the likelihood of a short:
And this was the result:
We came down to the first target, held it actually as support before finally crossing back over, setting the next TP at 475.05. We got 3 consecutive closes above the EMA 9/21, so let's see what happened:
Nothing really, we closed before we got there, but we did make progress towards it.
And last but not least SPY:
We opened the day with a bullish crossover and 3 consecutive closes above the EMA9/21, making our TP 441.38 (chart above). Let's see what happened:
We came just shy of it after the fed release volatility slammed it down, where we got a crossunder (bearish) to a TP of 436.21:
This ended up playing out, we did get a bullish crossover later in the day and so let's see what happened then:
So those are the real examples, most recent examples of trading using this. They are not all perfect, which is intentional because you need to use a bit of your own analysis, of course, when you are using this type of strategy or indicator. The EMA 9/21 is not sufficient generally on its own, but it is very helpful to gauge the immediate PA and whether the expected move aligns with your overall thesis on the day in terms of realistic target prices.
Customizability:
In terms of the customizability, this is a very basic indicator aside from the assessment of ranges. So there really is not a lot to customize.
You can toggle off and on the labels if you do not want them, you can also adjust the lookback length for the ATR assessment. The lookback length is defaulted to 500, I do really highly suggest you leave it at 500 because this has worked well for me and in back-testing, it has performed above my own expectations.
But, that said, you can take this and back-test as you wish with whatever parameters you feel are most appropriate. I haven't back-tested this on every stock known to man, my go to's are SPY, QQQ, sometimes MSFT and so it works well on those. But perhaps some others will have differing results.
Final Thoughts:
That is the indicator in a nutshell! It is really self explanatory and its likely a strategy most of you already know. This just helps to add realistic price targets and context to those cross-overs and cross-unders.
It also works fine on larger timeframes. We can see it on the 1 hour with MSFT:
On the 2 hour hour with QQQ:
And I am sure you can find other examples!
That's it everyone, safe trades!

Baseline Indicator [SS]Hello,
This is the Baseline Indicator. I modelled it after one of my favourite Tradingview chart types, the baseline type (shown in image below):
I really love this chart, but I wanted a way for it to:
a) Be static and not move with the chart; and
b) Auto calculate the baseline average for a specified period of time.
So I created this indicator which does essentially that.
What it does:
The indicator will calculate the average between the high and low of a user defined timeframe. The timeframe is customizable, but it defaults to daily. It will then plot the average (or baseline) of the high and low over that specified timeframe. The default plot is a candle plot. It will change the colours of the candles to green (for above the baseline) and red (for below the baseline). The chart below shows an example of the indicator with candles on SPY. The Baseline timeframe is set to 1 hour:
You can choose whether you want to plot the current baseline average or the previous.
The advantage to plotting the previous is that this provide a static reference point and can be helpful on the 30 and 60 minute timeframe. Here is an example:
In this example on SPY, the indicator is plotting the previous average. You can see SPY is using this as support and creating a "staircase" pattern. This is indicative of a trend.
The example above is using the previous day average on the daily timeframe during a sideways day. You can see that the price action accumulates and is consistently drawn to this point.
Inversely, you can manually select your own baseline price if you want a static, self-calculated baseline reference point.
Options and Settings:
Below is an outline of the menu as well as a brief explanation of the options and settings:
To view your chart as a baseline chart, make sure you select the "Line" input and then hide the candles on your chart using your chart settings (see image below):
The purple arrow shows how to hide the candles. You select the "Eye" Icon which should then become greyed out and you will be left with the baseline chart from the indicator.
Why use baseline average?
The average between the high and low of a designated timeframe is a very helpful value. In choppy markets, this acts as a key point of frequent return. In trendy markets, this acts as a reference point of trend direction and strength. I encourage you to play around with the indicator and review some historical charts using it, and you will see some patterns emerge!
Final thoughts:
I have also done a quick tutorial video on the indicator for your reference, you can check that out below:
Thanks for checking out the indicator and I hope you like it!
ATR - Average True Range + Dynamic Trend w/ Signals | by Octopu$↕ ATR - Average True Range + Dynamic Trend w/ Signals | by Octopu$
What is ATR?
ATR stands for Average True Range
A Technical Analysis Indicator that measures market volatility by decomposing the range of a Security Price in a specific period.
The ATR can be used as a High Low Spectrum,
As well as a variation of a Moving Average, considering the ranges on a timeframe, generally this being 14 days.
Shorter periods can be used (will generate more signals) or longer periods for steadier trends (for fewer signals)
A ticker on a high volatility has a high ATR.
A ticker on a low volatility has a low ATR.
It is an useful resource for a trading system:
Can be used to enter or exit trades and/or also measure the daily spectrum of a stock.
Does not necessarily points price direction, but takes into account gaps and strong legs.
Can also be used as trading positions confirmation,
Rather be it for stop losses or take profits,
As well as setting trailing stops or limit orders.
This tool offers a great Risk to Reward Ratio, considering the fact you will be aware of the possible moves that an asset can perform.
This indicator should not be used as a standalone tool.
(The combination of factors relies on your own knowledge about Confluence Factors along with your Due Diligence)
This indicator is not an advice to buy or sell securities.

Sector Relative StrengthDescription
This script compares sector performance relative to the S&P 500. Sector price levels or charts alone can mislead, because they tend to move with the broader market. An increase in a sector’s price does not necessarily indicate strength, as it may simply be following the index.
For more a more reliable picture, the script calculates a ratio between each sector ETF and SPY. If the ratio has increased, the sector has outperformed the index. In case it has declined, the sector has underperformed. If the value is near zero, the sector has moved in line with the index. The sectors are presented in a table and sorted on relative performance.
Calculation Method
The performance is expressed as a percentage change in the ratio over a user-defined lookback period. The default lookback is set to 21 bars, which corresponds to one month on a daily chart. This value can be adopted in the settings to match preferred time period.
Z-Score
In addition to the percentage change, the script calculates a Z-score of the ratio, which measures how far the current value deviates from its recent mean. A high positive Z-score indicates that the ratio is significantly above its average, while a negative value indicates it is below. This normalization allows for comparison between sectors with different price levels or volatility profiles.
Table Columns
- Relative %: The sector's performance relative to SPY over the selected lookback period
- Z-Score: Standardized measure of current performance ratio is relative to its average
- Trend Arrow: Indicates the direction of relative performance up down or flat
Example Interpretation
For example, if XLK shows a 3.7% change, it has outperformed SPY over the selected period. Another sector might show a -2.1% change, which indicates underperformance. While both values shows relative strength or weakness, the Z-score is optional and can provide additional context based on how unusual that performance is compared to the sector's own recent behavior.
Use Case
This approach helps evaluate overall market conditions and supports a top-down method. By starting with sector performance, it becomes easier to identify where the market is showing leadership or weakness. This allows the stock selection process to be more deliberate and can help refine or customize screeners based on certain sectors.
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) [Loxx]Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) demonstrates how to calculate the Cost of Equity for an underlying asset using Pine Script. This script will only work on the monthly timeframe. While you can change the default inputs, you should study what CAPM is and how this works before doing so. This indicator pulls various types of data from SPY from various timeframes to calculate risk-free rates, market premiums, and log returns. Alpha and Beta are computed using the regression between underlying asset and SPY. This indicator only calculates on the most recent data. If you wish to change this, you'll have to save the script and make adjustments. A few examples where CAPM is used:
Used as the mu factor Geometric Brownian Motion models for options pricing and forecasting price ranges and decay
Calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Asset pricing
Efficient frontier
Risk and diversification
Security market line
Discounted Cashflow Analysis
Investment bankers use CAPM to value deals
Account firms use CAPM to verify asset prices and assumptions
Real estate firms use variations of CAPM to value properties
... and more
Details of the calculations used here
Rm is calculated using yearly simple returns data from SPY, typically this is just hard coded as 10%.
Rf is pulled from US 10 year bond yields
Beta and Alpha are pulled form monthly returns data of the asset and SPY
In the past, typically this data is purchased from investments banks whose research arms produce values for beta, alpha, risk free rate, and risk premiums. In 2022 ,you can find free estimates for each parameter but these values might not reflect the most current data or research.
History
The CAPM was introduced by Jack Treynor (1961, 1962), William F. Sharpe (1964), John Lintner (1965) and Jan Mossin (1966) independently, building on the earlier work of Harry Markowitz on diversification and modern portfolio theory. Sharpe, Markowitz and Merton Miller jointly received the 1990 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for this contribution to the field of financial economics. Fischer Black (1972) developed another version of CAPM, called Black CAPM or zero-beta CAPM, that does not assume the existence of a riskless asset. This version was more robust against empirical testing and was influential in the widespread adoption of the CAPM.
Usage
The CAPM is used to calculate the amount of return that investors need to realize to compensate for a particular level of risk. It subtracts the risk-free rate from the expected rate and weighs it with a factor – beta – to get the risk premium. It then adds the risk premium to the risk-free rate of return to get the rate of return an investor expects as compensation for the risk. The CAPM formula is expressed as follows:
r = Rf + beta (Rm – Rf) + Alpha
Therefore,
Alpha = R – Rf – beta (Rm-Rf)
Where:
R represents the portfolio return
Rf represents the risk-free rate of return
Beta represents the systematic risk of a portfolio
Rm represents the market return, per a benchmark
For example, assuming that the actual return of the fund is 30, the risk-free rate is 8%, beta is 1.1, and the benchmark index return is 20%, alpha is calculated as:
Alpha = (0.30-0.08) – 1.1 (0.20-0.08) = 0.088 or 8.8%
The result shows that the investment in this example outperformed the benchmark index by 8.8%.
The alpha of a portfolio is the excess return it produces compared to a benchmark index. Investors in mutual funds or ETFs often look for a fund with a high alpha in hopes of getting a superior return on investment (ROI).
The alpha ratio is often used along with the beta coefficient, which is a measure of the volatility of an investment. The two ratios are both used in the Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM) to analyze a portfolio of investments and assess its theoretical performance.

Automatic Fibonacci Retracement + Golden Ratio | by Octopu$👑 Automatic Fibonacci Retracement on Specific Timeframes + Golden Ratio | by Octopu$
Fibonacci Retracement is a method of technical analysis for determining support and resistance levels.
It is named after the famous Fibonacci sequence of numbers: 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%
These ratios provide price levels to which markets tend to retrace a portion of a move.
Also used as a potential spot before a trend continues (or reverses) original direction.
While not officially a Fibonacci ratio, 50% is also used.
Fibonacci Levels can be drawn between any two significant price points or time frames.
(Such as a High and a Low or also on Daily and Weekly charts)
The indicator will then Automatically create the levels between those selected points.
Golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, in mathematics, is the irrational number:
(1 + Square root of√5)/2, often denoted by the Greek letter ϕ or τ
Which is approximately equal to 1.618.
(Two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.)
That's The Magic of the Fibonaccis, as well the Golden Ratio itself.
And this is exactly where this Indicator by Octopu$ kicks in:
This indicator Automatically sets all the Fibonacci Levels within the Retracement selected.
On top of that, it Highlights the Golden Ratio for the Fibonacci Levels drawn.
Additionally, it sets the Golden Ratio as possible Support or Resistance level,
Doing so by having visual identification to the Up or Down side.
This changes the game! Along with Price Action, Trend Direction, Chart Analysis and other Indicators as well.

Donchian Channels with Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$ 🌊 Donchian Channels with Middle Line, Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$
Donchian Channels are three lines generated by Moving Average calculations.
These lines formed by upper and lower bands around a midrange or median band.
The Upper Band marks the Highest price of a security over X periods of time.
While the Lower Band marks the Lowest price over the same period.
Now, the Limit bands are the High and Low prices over a Y period of time (different than X)
The difference about using Limits with the Bands on Donchian Channels is the time length:
By using different time comparisons (X and Y) you are able to identify previous Highs and Lows.
This is very useful for Support and Resistance levels regarding the Price Action
As well as Pivot Points, considering the possibility off Breakouts or Bounces.
Usually - as a General Rule - the Price tends to navigate in-between these channels
That's where DC Channels + Limits w/ Shadows come into play!
Highs and Lows serve as Supply and Demand Zones as well.
The Middle Line can be used as a spot for Reversal/Continuation.
All of this also makes the Donchian Channels a great tool for Trend Identification.

Mind the GAP! (Automatic Intraday GAP Overnight) | by Octopu$🤏 Mind the GAP! (Automatic Intraday GAP Overnight) | by Octopu$
Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock moves sharply up or down, with little or no trading in between.
When it happens overnight (not considering Extended Hours), it is just considered as Price Level, for possible revisit.
A Gap is defined when the Open current Candle is Higher or Lower than the Close of the Last Candle:
When the Open of the current Candle is Higher than the Close of the Last Candle it is considered a Gap UP;
When the Open of the current Candle is Lower than the Close of the Last Candle it is considered a Gap DOWN;
Something interesting about Gap is that:
1. The Price Action can travel fast between these levels (Volatility);
2. One (or both) of these levels (Hi/Lo) can act as Support (or Breakout);
3. One (or both) of these levels (Hi/Lo) can act as Resistance (or Breakout).
This Indicator includes these Gaps added Automatically to your Chart.
It is also built-in with a Shadow between the lines for easy visualization.
Colors are also customizable and the Lines are also editable according t your preferences.

⚖ Volume BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$⚖ Volume BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$
Volume is the number of shares traded in a particular stock, index, or other investment over a specific period of time.
It can indicate market strength, as rising markets on increasing volume are typically viewed as strong and healthy.
In fact, the more, the better. Institutions tend to get more involved in a stock with daily dollar volume in the hundreds of millions or more
But also, when prices fall on increasing volume, the trend is gathering strength to the downside.
That's where BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$ comes in.
Typically, Volume bars follow the candles.
If the Candle is Green (Close > Open), the Volume Bar is also Green.
Now if the Candle is Red (Close < Open) the Volume Bar is also Red.
You never know if it is being Bought or Sold.
This changes the game: along with Price Action, Trend Direction, and other factors. This is possible!
This indicator is composed of:
Volume itself (all of it), displayed by Gray bars;
Identifies Buying Pressure on Green Bars;
And Selling Pressure with Red Bars.
Volume Average as a White Line, for the last "X" Days
Additionally,
It presents a Yellow Triangle as and indication of when the Volume is above the Average in the current TF you are in.
Additionally, this can be set up via an Input: Means if you like to watch it 10% above Average, you got it. 25%? 50%?... You name it.
On top of that,
Includes an indication for Volume Spike as well. So if informs you visually on the Volume Bars of any surges on the TF you are in.
For example: 2x the Volume from the last Candle. Or maybe 3x? 5x... The way you like it the best.
This way, with the combination of your understanding as well as other Indicator and Factor as Confluence, you can improve your analysis and figure out what is going on.

FANGMANT Performance TableThis is a simple performance table for QQQ, SPY and the main FANGMANT stocks shown left to right by current order of weighting.
Importantly, the performance is intraday from session open time.
It is NOT a daily change - credit to ShadowTrader for this distinction.
Credit also to PineCoders for their string manipluation instructions for Pine Script.
Each of the 12 symbols in the table can be set by the user.
For publication purposes I have included QQQ, SPY, VXN and TNX as these are all relevant to Nasdaq performance too
The table can be placed Top or Bottom, Left or Right
The user will need to set the cell width and height and transparency and bulilsh/bearish colors to best suit their own displays.
There are two color gradients built in to help illustrate which symbols are leading or lagging
I will also publish one for the SPY sectors that will otherwise be very similar to this
NEXT Stochastic 3xVW (Triple Volume Weighted)Overview:
This responsive version of the Stochastic oscillator modifies and extends the original to incorporate volume. It does so on 2 levels: by using Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) as input and applying a triple volume weighting filter within the internal algorithm, intelligently blending volume with what is otherwise pure momentum/distribution analysis. The result is more binary-like curve behavior (%K and %D oscillator lines), whose polarizing movement acts as both a signal and filter.
Below is a screenshot comparing NEXT Stochastic 3xVW with default settings to the original Stochastic oscillator on NQ M1 chart.
Application and Strategy Ideas:
NEXT Stochastic 3xVW is intended to be used like the original Stochastic oscillator within the context of technical analysis: identifying overvalued (above upper limit) and undervalued (below lower limit) price action, as well as establishing a bias baseline (bullish if over 50; bearish if under 50). Higher NEXT Stochastic 3xVW bottoms compared to lower price bottoms signify bullish divergence; lower NEXT Stochastic 3xVW tops compared to higher price tops signify bearish divergence. Trading %K/%D line crossing is also a popular strategy, with %K crossing over %D indicating bullish sentiment and %K crossing under %D indicating bearish sentiment.
Below is a screenshot showing NEXT Stochastic 3xVW overbought/oversold intraday strategy on SPY M1 chart. NEXT Stochastic 3xVW is set to 5,10,1,3 with long signal issued at lower limit of 30 and short at upper limit of 70.
Input Parameters:
VWMA Length - controls the averaging length of the volume-weighted moving average (based on close price and volume); used as Stochastic input
%K Length - volume-driven averaging length of the %K oscillator line - this is the faster of the two Stochastic lines
%K Smoothing - volume-driven smoothing factor of the %K line
%D Smoothing - volume-driven averaging length of the %D oscillator line (a %K derivative, post smoothing) - this is the slower of the two Stochastic lines
Upper Limit - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level above which market is considered overbought, default is 80
Base Bias - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level above which market bias is considered bullish, and below bearish
Lower Limit - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level below which market is considered oversold, default is 20
Signals and Alerts:
Discover and visualize NEXT Stochastic 3xVW strategies using the companion NEXT Strategy Visualizer indicator. While the %K/%D cross alerts can be set via NEXT Stochastic 3xVW indicator, the Strategy Visualizer will only plot long/short signals when %K or %D cross over or under overbought/oversold levels (as hown in the above SPY M1 screenshot). That being said, the next version of the Strategy Visualizer will also support %K/%D crosses.
Here is how to set NEXT Stochastic 3xVW %K/%D crossing alerts: open a chart, attach NEXT Stochastic 3xVW, and right-click on chart -> Add Alert. Condition: Next Stochastic >> %K >> Crossing >> Next Stochastic >> %D
Waindrops [Makit0]█ OVERALL
Plot waindrops (custom volume profiles) on user defined periods, for each period you get high and low, it slices each period in half to get independent vwap, volume profile and the volume traded per price at each half.
It works on intraday charts only, up to 720m (12H). It can plot balanced or unbalanced waindrops, and volume profiles up to 24H sessions.
As example you can setup unbalanced periods to get independent volume profiles for the overnight and cash sessions on the futures market, or 24H periods to get the full session volume profile of EURUSD
The purpose of this indicator is twofold:
1 — from a Chartist point of view, to have an indicator which displays the volume in a more readable way
2 — from a Pine Coder point of view, to have an example of use for two very powerful tools on Pine Script:
• the recently updated drawing limit to 500 (from 50)
• the recently ability to use drawings arrays (lines and labels)
If you are new to Pine Script and you are learning how to code, I hope you read all the code and comments on this indicator, all is designed for you,
the variables and functions names, the sometimes too big explanations, the overall structure of the code, all is intended as an example on how to code
in Pine Script a specific indicator from a very good specification in form of white paper

█ FEATURES
Waindrops are a different way of seeing the volume and price plotted in a chart, its a volume profile indicator where you can see the volume of each price level
plotted as a vertical histogram for each half of a custom period. By default the period is 60 so it plots an independent volume profile each 30m
You can think of each waindrop as an user defined candlestick or bar with four key values:
• high of the period
• low of the period
• left vwap (volume weighted average price of the first half period)
• right vwap (volume weighted average price of the second half period)
The waindrop can have 3 different colors (configurable by the user):
• GREEN: when the right vwap is higher than the left vwap (bullish sentiment )
• RED: when the right vwap is lower than the left vwap (bearish sentiment )
• BLUE: when the right vwap is equal than the left vwap ( neutral sentiment )
KEY FEATURES
• Help menu
• Custom periods
• Central bars
• Left/Right VWAPs
• Custom central bars and vwaps: color and pixels
• Highly configurable volume histogram: execution window, ticks, pixels, color, update frequency and fine tuning the neutral meaning
• Volume labels with custom size and color
• Tracking price dot to be able to see the current price when you hide your default candlesticks or bars

█ LIMITS
This indicator only works on intraday charts (minutes only) up to 12H (720m), the lower chart timeframe you can use is 1m
This indicator needs price, time and volume to work, it will not work on an index (there is no volume), the execution will not be allowed
The histogram (volume profile) can be plotted on 24H sessions as limit but you can plot several 24H sessions
█ ERRORS AND PERFORMANCE
Depending on the choosed settings, the script performance will be highly affected and it will experience errors
Two of the more common errors it can throw are:
• Calculation takes too long to execute
• Loop takes too long
The indicator performance is highly related to the underlying volatility (tick wise), the script takes each candlestick or bar and for each tick in it stores the price and volume, if the ticker in your chart has thousands and thousands of ticks per bar the indicator will throw an error for sure, it can not calculate in time such amount of ticks.
What all of that means? Simply put, this will throw error on the BITCOIN pair BTCUSD (high volatility with tick size 0.01) because it has too many ticks per bar, but lucky you it will work just fine on the futures contract BTC1! (tick size 5) because it has a lot less ticks per bar
There are some options you can fine tune to boost the script performance, the more demanding option in terms of resources consumption is Updates per period , by default is maxed out so lowering this setting will improve the performance in a high way.
If you wanna know more about how to improve the script performance, read the HELP INFO accessible from the settings panel
█ HOW-TO SETUP
The basic parameters to adjust are Period size , Ticks per bar and Pixels per bar
• Period size is the main setting, defines the waindrop size, to get a better looking histogram set bigger period and smaller chart timeframe
• Ticks per bar is the tricky one, adjust it differently for each underlying (ticker) volatility wise, for some you will need a low value, for others a high one.
To get a more accurate histogram set it as lower as you can (min value is 1)
• Pixels per bar allows you to adjust the width of each histogram bar, with it you can adjust the blank space between them or allow overlaping
You must play with these three parameters until you obtain the desired histogram: smoother, sharper, etc...
These are some of the different kind of charts you can setup thru the settings:
• Balanced Waindrops (default): charts with waindrops where the two halfs are of same size.
This is the default chart, just select a period (30m, 60m, 120m, 240m, pick your poison), adjust the histogram ticks and pixels and watch
• Unbalanced Waindrops: chart with waindrops where the two halfs are of different sizes.
Do you trade futures and want to plot a waindrop with the first half for the overnight session and the second half for the cash session? you got it;
just adjust the period to 1860 for any CME ticker (like ES1! for example) adjust the histogram ticks and pixels and watch
• Full Session Volume Profile: chart with waindrops where only the first half plots.
Do you use Volume profile to analize the market? Lucky you, now you can trick this one to plot it, just try a period of 780 on SPY, 2760 on ES1!, or 2880 on EURUSD
remember to adjust the histogram ticks and pixels for each underlying
• Only Bars: charts with only central and vwap bars plotted, simply deactivate the histogram and volume labels
• Only Histogram: charts with only the histogram plotted (volume profile charts), simply deactivate the bars and volume labels
• Only Volume: charts with only the raw volume numbers plotted, simply deactivate the bars and histogram
If you wanna know more about custom full session periods for different asset classes, read the HELP INFO accessible from the settings panel
EXAMPLES
Full Session Volume Profile on MES 5m chart:
Full Session Unbalanced Waindrop on MNQ 2m chart (left side Overnight session, right side Cash Session):
The following examples will have the exact same charts but on four different tickers representing a futures contract, a forex pair, an etf and a stock.
We are doing this to be able to see the different parameters we need for plotting the same kind of chart on different assets
The chart composition is as follows:
• Left side: Volume Labels chart (period 10)
• Upper Right side: Waindrops (period 60)
• Lower Right side: Full Session Volume Profile
The first example will specify the main parameters, the rest of the charts will have only the differences

Yelober - Intraday ETF Dashboard# How to Read the Yelober Intraday ETF Dashboard
The Intraday ETF Dashboard provides a powerful at-a-glance view of sector performance and trading opportunities. Here's how to interpret and use the information:
## Basic Dashboard Reading
### Color-Coding System
- **Green values**: Positive performance or bullish signals
- **Red values**: Negative performance or bearish signals
- **Symbol colors**: Green = buy signal, Red = sell signal, Gray = neutral
### Example 1: Identifying Strong Sectors
If you see XLF (Financials) with:
- Day % showing +2.65% (green background)
- Symbol in green color
- RSI of 58 (not overbought)
**Interpretation**: Financial sector is showing strength and momentum without being overextended. Consider long positions in top financial stocks like JPM or BAC.
### Example 2: Spotting Weakness
If you see XLK (Technology) with:
- Day % showing -1.20% (red background)
- Week % showing -3.50% (red background)
- Symbol in red color
- RSI of 35 (approaching oversold)
**Interpretation**: Technology sector is showing weakness across multiple timeframes. Consider avoiding tech stocks or taking short positions in names like MSFT or AAPL, but be cautious as the low RSI suggests a bounce may be coming.
## Advanced Interpretations
### Example 3: Sector Rotation Detection
If you observe:
- XLE (Energy) showing +2.10% while XLK (Technology) showing -1.50%
- Both sectors' Week % values showing the opposite trend
**Interpretation**: This suggests money is rotating out of technology into energy stocks. This rotation pattern is actionable - consider reducing tech exposure and increasing energy positions (look at XOM, CVX in the Top Stocks column).
### Example 4: RSI Divergences
If you see XLU (Utilities) with:
- Day % showing +0.50% (small positive)
- RSI showing 72 (overbought, red background)
**Interpretation**: Despite positive performance, the high RSI suggests the sector is overextended. This divergence between price and indicator suggests caution - the rally in utilities may be running out of steam.
### Example 5: Relative Strength in Weak Markets
If SPY shows -1.20% but XLP (Consumer Staples) shows +0.30%:
**Interpretation**: Consumer staples are showing defensive strength during market weakness. This is typical risk-off behavior. Consider defensive positions in stocks like PG, KO, or PEP for protection.
## Practical Application Scenarios
### Day Trading Setup
1. **Morning Market Assessment**:
- Check which sectors are green pre-market
- Focus on sectors with Day % > 1% and RSI between 40-70
- Identify 2-3 stocks from the Top Stocks column of the strongest sector
2. **Midday Reversal Hunting**:
- Look for sectors with symbol color changing from red to green
- Confirm with RSI moving away from extremes
- Trade stocks from that sector showing similar pattern changes
### Swing Trading Application
1. **Trend Following**:
- Identify sectors with positive Day % and Week %
- Look for RSI values in uptrend but not overbought (45-65)
- Enter positions in top stocks from these sectors, using daily charts for confirmation
2. **Contrarian Setups**:
- Find sectors with deeply negative Day % but RSI < 30
- Look for divergence (price making new lows but RSI rising)
- Consider counter-trend positions in the stronger stocks within these oversold sectors
## Reading Special Conditions
### Example 6: Risk-Off Environment
If you observe:
- XLP (Consumer Staples) and XLU (Utilities) both green
- XLK (Technology) and XLY (Consumer Disc) both red
- SPY slightly negative
**Interpretation**: Classic risk-off rotation. Investors are moving to safety. Consider defensive positioning and reducing exposure to growth sectors.
### Example 7: Market Breadth Analysis
Count the number of sectors in green vs. red:
- If 7+ sectors are green: Strong bullish breadth, consider aggressive long positioning
- If 7+ sectors are red: Weak market breadth, consider defensive positioning or shorts
- If evenly split: Market is indecisive, focus on specific sector strength instead of broad market exposure
Remember that this dashboard is most effective when combined with broader market analysis and appropriate risk management strategies.
KeyTrade - /ES 5 Min ScalpThis is the final version of KeyTrade scalp indicator for /ES futures, which can be used for SPX, SPY 0dte options or short dated options as well. The script primarily uses ichi cloud, fib extension and ema in combination for better signals.
This indicator only provides long entries because short entries are too noisy. The take profit levels vary based on different user preferences. Stop loss in general from backtesting is around 20-30 /ES points. Sometimes the strategy can capture 300+ /ES points, so take profits and stop loss are purely discretionary.
The ichi cloud is re-coded on my own so as the fib band extension. The fib band provides signal of oversold condition and ichi cloud provides further layer of confirmation if the signal is valid, especially it's below key support level.
DISCLAIMER: There is no guarantee to make profits on every trade. So please don't treat it as 100% winning strategy. It only provides solid signal based on technicals, whether or not to enter the trade is on your own discretionary.
IMPORTANT: The indicator should only be applied to 5 min /ES futures or US500 charts. It doesn't work well on SPY, SPX directly.
Multifractal Forecast [ScorsoneEnterprises]Multifractal Forecast Indicator
The Multifractal Forecast is an indicator designed to model and forecast asset price movements using a multifractal framework. It uses concepts from fractal geometry and stochastic processes, specifically the Multifractal Model of Asset Returns (MMAR) and fractional Brownian motion (fBm), to generate price forecasts based on historical price data. The indicator visualizes potential future price paths as colored lines, providing traders with a probabilistic view of price trends over a specified trading time scale. Below is a detailed breakdown of the indicator’s functionality, inputs, calculations, and visualization.
Overview
Purpose: The indicator forecasts future price movements by simulating multiple price paths based on a multifractal model, which accounts for the complex, non-linear behavior of financial markets.
Key Concepts:
Multifractal Model of Asset Returns (MMAR): Models price movements as a multifractal process, capturing varying degrees of volatility and self-similarity across different time scales.
Fractional Brownian Motion (fBm): A generalization of Brownian motion that incorporates long-range dependence and self-similarity, controlled by the Hurst exponent.
Binomial Cascade: Used to model trading time, introducing heterogeneity in time scales to reflect market activity bursts.
Hurst Exponent: Measures the degree of long-term memory in the price series (persistence, randomness, or mean-reversion).
Rescaled Range (R/S) Analysis: Estimates the Hurst exponent to quantify the fractal nature of the price series.
Inputs
The indicator allows users to customize its behavior through several input parameters, each influencing the multifractal model and forecast generation:
Maximum Lag (max_lag):
Type: Integer
Default: 50
Minimum: 5
Purpose: Determines the maximum lag used in the rescaled range (R/S) analysis to calculate the Hurst exponent. A higher lag increases the sample size for Hurst estimation but may smooth out short-term dynamics.
2 to the n values in the Multifractal Model (n):
Type: Integer
Default: 4
Purpose: Defines the resolution of the multifractal model by setting the size of arrays used in calculations (N = 2^n). For example, n=4 results in N=16 data points. Larger n increases computational complexity and detail but may exceed Pine Script’s array size limits (capped at 100,000).
Multiplier for Binomial Cascade (m):
Type: Float
Default: 0.8
Purpose: Controls the asymmetry in the binomial cascade, which models trading time. The multiplier m (and its complement 2.0 - m) determines how mass is distributed across time scales. Values closer to 1 create more balanced cascades, while values further from 1 introduce more variability.
Length Scale for fBm (L):
Type: Float
Default: 100,000.0
Purpose: Scales the fractional Brownian motion output, affecting the amplitude of simulated price paths. Larger values increase the magnitude of forecasted price movements.
Cumulative Sum (cum):
Type: Integer (0 or 1)
Default: 1
Purpose: Toggles whether the fBm output is cumulatively summed (1=On, 0=Off). When enabled, the fBm series is accumulated to simulate a price path with memory, resembling a random walk with long-range dependence.
Trading Time Scale (T):
Type: Integer
Default: 5
Purpose: Defines the forecast horizon in bars (20 bars into the future). It also scales the binomial cascade’s output to align with the desired trading time frame.
Number of Simulations (num_simulations):
Type: Integer
Default: 5
Minimum: 1
Purpose: Specifies how many forecast paths are simulated and plotted. More simulations provide a broader range of possible price outcomes but increase computational load.
Core Calculations
The indicator combines several mathematical and statistical techniques to generate price forecasts. Below is a step-by-step explanation of its calculations:
Log Returns (lgr):
The indicator calculates log returns as math.log(close / close ) when both the current and previous close prices are positive. This measures the relative price change in a logarithmic scale, which is standard for financial time series analysis to stabilize variance.
Hurst Exponent Estimation (get_hurst_exponent):
Purpose: Estimates the Hurst exponent (H) to quantify the degree of long-term memory in the price series.
Method: Uses rescaled range (R/S) analysis:
For each lag from 2 to max_lag, the function calc_rescaled_range computes the rescaled range:
Calculate the mean of the log returns over the lag period.
Compute the cumulative deviation from the mean.
Find the range (max - min) of the cumulative deviation.
Divide the range by the standard deviation of the log returns to get the rescaled range.
The log of the rescaled range (log(R/S)) is regressed against the log of the lag (log(lag)) using the polyfit_slope function.
The slope of this regression is the Hurst exponent (H).
Interpretation:
H = 0.5: Random walk (no memory, like standard Brownian motion).
H > 0.5: Persistent behavior (trends tend to continue).
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting behavior (price tends to revert to the mean).
Fractional Brownian Motion (get_fbm):
Purpose: Generates a fractional Brownian motion series to model price movements with long-range dependence.
Inputs: n (array size 2^n), H (Hurst exponent), L (length scale), cum (cumulative sum toggle).
Method:
Computes covariance for fBm using the formula: 0.5 * (|i+1|^(2H) - 2 * |i|^(2H) + |i-1|^(2H)).
Uses Hosking’s method (referenced from Columbia University’s implementation) to generate fBm:
Initializes arrays for covariance (cov), intermediate calculations (phi, psi), and output.
Iteratively computes the fBm series by incorporating a random term scaled by the variance (v) and covariance structure.
Applies scaling based on L / N^H to adjust the amplitude.
Optionally applies cumulative summation if cum = 1 to produce a path with memory.
Output: An array of 2^n values representing the fBm series.
Binomial Cascade (get_binomial_cascade):
Purpose: Models trading time (theta) to account for non-uniform market activity (e.g., bursts of volatility).
Inputs: n (array size 2^n), m (multiplier), T (trading time scale).
Method:
Initializes an array of size 2^n with values of 1.0.
Iteratively applies a binomial cascade:
For each block (from 0 to n-1), splits the array into segments.
Randomly assigns a multiplier (m or 2.0 - m) to each segment, redistributing mass.
Normalizes the array by dividing by its sum and scales by T.
Checks for array size limits to prevent Pine Script errors.
Output: An array (theta) representing the trading time, which warps the fBm to reflect market activity.
Interpolation (interpolate_fbm):
Purpose: Maps the fBm series to the trading time scale to produce a forecast.
Method:
Computes the cumulative sum of theta and normalizes it to .
Interpolates the fBm series linearly based on the normalized trading time.
Ensures the output aligns with the trading time scale (T).
Output: An array of interpolated fBm values representing log returns over the forecast horizon.
Price Path Generation:
For each simulation (up to num_simulations):
Generates an fBm series using get_fbm.
Interpolates it with the trading time (theta) using interpolate_fbm.
Converts log returns to price levels:
Starts with the current close price.
For each step i in the forecast horizon (T), computes the price as prev_price * exp(log_return).
Output: An array of price levels for each simulation.
Visualization:
Trigger: Updates every T bars when the bar state is confirmed (barstate.isconfirmed).
Process:
Clears previous lines from line_array.
For each simulation, plots a line from the current bar’s close price to the forecasted price at bar_index + T.
Colors the line using a gradient (color.from_gradient) based on the final forecasted price relative to the minimum and maximum forecasted prices across all simulations (red for lower prices, teal for higher prices).
Output: Multiple colored lines on the chart, each representing a possible price path over the next T bars.
How It Works on the Chart
Initialization: On each bar, the indicator calculates the Hurst exponent (H) using historical log returns and prepares the trading time (theta) using the binomial cascade.
Forecast Generation: Every T bars, it generates num_simulations price paths:
Each path starts at the current close price.
Uses fBm to model log returns, warped by the trading time.
Converts log returns to price levels.
Plotting: Draws lines from the current bar to the forecasted price T bars ahead, with colors indicating relative price levels.
Dynamic Updates: The forecast updates every T bars, replacing old lines with new ones based on the latest price data and calculations.
Key Features
Multifractal Modeling: Captures complex market dynamics by combining fBm (long-range dependence) with a binomial cascade (non-uniform time).
Customizable Parameters: Allows users to adjust the forecast horizon, model resolution, scaling, and number of simulations.
Probabilistic Forecast: Multiple simulations provide a range of possible price outcomes, helping traders assess uncertainty.
Visual Clarity: Gradient-colored lines make it easy to distinguish bullish (teal) and bearish (red) forecasts.
Potential Use Cases
Trend Analysis: Identify potential price trends or reversals based on the direction and spread of forecast lines.
Risk Assessment: Evaluate the range of possible price outcomes to gauge market uncertainty.
Volatility Analysis: The Hurst exponent and binomial cascade provide insights into market persistence and volatility clustering.
Limitations
Computational Intensity: Large values of n or num_simulations may slow down execution or hit Pine Script’s array size limits.
Randomness: The binomial cascade and fBm rely on random terms (math.random), which may lead to variability between runs.
Assumptions: The model assumes log-normal price movements and fractal behavior, which may not always hold in extreme market conditions.
Adjusting Inputs:
Set max_lag based on the desired depth of historical analysis.
Adjust n for model resolution (start with 4–6 to avoid performance issues).
Tune m to control trading time variability (0.5–1.5 is typical).
Set L to scale the forecast amplitude (experiment with values like 10,000–1,000,000).
Choose T based on your trading horizon (20 for short-term, 50 for longer-term for example).
Select num_simulations for the number of forecast paths (5–10 is reasonable for visualization).
Interpret Output:
Teal lines suggest bullish scenarios, red lines suggest bearish scenarios.
A wide spread of lines indicates high uncertainty; convergence suggests a stronger trend.
Monitor Updates: Forecasts update every T bars, so check the chart periodically for new projections.
Chart Examples
This is a daily AMEX:SPY chart with default settings. We see the simulations being done every T bars and they provide a range for us to analyze with a few simulations still in the range.
On this intraday PEPPERSTONE:COCOA chart I modified the Length Scale for fBm, L, parameter to be 1000 from 100000. Adjusting the parameter as you switch between timeframes can give you more contextual simulations.
On BITSTAMP:ETHUSD I modified the L to be 1000000 to have a more contextual set of simulations with crypto's volatile nature.
With L at 100000 we see the range for NASDAQ:TLT is correctly simulated. The recent pop stays within the bounds of the highest simulation. Note this is a cherry picked example to show the power and potential of these simulations.
Technical Notes
Error Handling: The script includes checks for array size limits and division by zero (math.abs(denominator) > 1e-10, v := math.max(v, 1e-10)).
External Reference: The fBm implementation is based on Hosking’s method (www.columbia.edu), ensuring a robust algorithm.
Conclusion
The Multifractal Forecast is a powerful tool for traders seeking to model complex market dynamics using a multifractal framework. By combining fBm, binomial cascades, and Hurst exponent analysis, it generates probabilistic price forecasts that account for long-range dependence and non-uniform market activity. Its customizable inputs and clear visualizations make it suitable for both technical analysis and strategy development, though users should be mindful of its computational demands and parameter sensitivity. For optimal use, experiment with input settings and validate forecasts against other technical indicators or market conditions.
CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot🎯 CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot
📊 Overview
The Counter-Directional-Pivot (CDP) indicator calculates five critical price levels based on the previous day's OHLC data, specifically designed for multi-timeframe analysis. Unlike standard pivot points, CDP levels are calculated using a unique formula that identifies potential reversal zones where price action often changes direction.
⚡ What Makes This Script Original
This implementation solves several technical challenges that existing pivot indicators face:
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Consistency: Values remain identical across all timeframes (1m, 5m, 1h, daily) - a common problem with many pivot implementations
🔒 Intraday Stability: Uses advanced value-locking technology to prevent the "stepping" effect that occurs when pivot lines shift during the trading session
💪 Robust Data Handling: Optimized for both liquid and illiquid stocks with enhanced data synchronization
🧮 CDP Calculation Formula
The indicator calculates five key levels using the previous day's High (H), Low (L), and Close (C):
CDP = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 (Central Decision Point)
AH = 2×CDP + H – 2×L (Anchor High - Strong Resistance)
NH = 2×CDP – L (Near High - Moderate Resistance)
AL = 2×CDP – 2×H + L (Anchor Low - Strong Support)
NL = 2×CDP – H (Near Low - Moderate Support)
✨ Key Features
🎨 Visual Elements

💥 Breakout Trading: Enter positions when price decisively breaks through anchor levels
↔️ Range Trading: Use CDP as the central reference point for range-bound markets
🎯 Advanced Strategy Combinations
RSI Integration for Enhanced Signals: 📊
📉 Oversold Bounces: Combine RSI below 30 with price touching AL/NL levels for high-probability long entries
📈 Overbought Rejections: Look for RSI above 70 with price rejecting AH/NH levels for short opportunities
🔍 Divergence Confirmation: When RSI shows bullish divergence at support levels (AL/NL) or bearish divergence at resistance levels (AH/NH), it often signals stronger reversal potential
⚡ Momentum Confluence: RSI crossing 50 while price breaks through CDP can confirm trend direction changes
⚙️ Configuration Options
🎨 Line Customization: Adjust width, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and colors
👁️ Display Preferences: Toggle individual levels, labels, and value table
📍 Table Position: Place the value table anywhere on your chart
🔔 Alert System: Get notifications when price crosses key levels
🔧 Technical Implementation Details
🎯 Data Reliability
The script uses request.security() with lookahead settings to ensure historical accuracy while maintaining real-time functionality. The value-locking mechanism prevents the common issue where pivot levels shift during the trading day.
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Logic
⏰ Intraday Charts: Display previous day's calculated levels as stable horizontal lines
📅 Daily Charts: Show current day's levels based on yesterday's OHLC
🔍 Consistency Check: All timeframes reference the same source data
🤔 Why CDP vs Standard Pivots?
Counter-Directional Pivots often provide more accurate reversal points than traditional pivot calculations because they incorporate the relationship between high/low ranges and closing prices more effectively. The formula creates levels that better reflect market psychology and institutional trading behaviors.
💡 Best Practices

Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)
Bridging Statistical Physics and Market Dynamics Through Ensemble Analysis
The Revolutionary Concept: When Physics Meets Trading
After months of research into ergodic theory—a fundamental principle in statistical mechanics—I've developed a trading system that identifies when markets transition between predictable and unpredictable states. This indicator doesn't just follow price; it analyzes whether current market behavior will persist or revert, giving traders a scientific edge in timing entries and exits.
The Core Innovation: Ergodic Theory Applied to Markets
What Makes Markets Ergodic or Non-Ergodic?
In statistical physics, ergodicity determines whether a system's future resembles its past. Applied to trading:
Ergodic Markets (Mean-Reverting)
- Time averages equal ensemble averages
- Historical patterns repeat reliably
- Price oscillates around equilibrium
- Traditional indicators work well
Non-Ergodic Markets (Trending)
- Path dependency dominates
- History doesn't predict future
- Price creates new equilibrium levels
- Momentum strategies excel
The Mathematical Framework
The Ergodic Score combines three critical divergences:
Ergodic Score = (Price Divergence × Market Stress + Return Divergence × 1000 + Volatility Divergence × 50) / 3
Where:
Price Divergence: How far current price deviates from market consensus
Return Divergence: Momentum differential between instrument and market
Volatility Divergence: Volatility regime misalignment
Market Stress: Adaptive multiplier based on current conditions
The Ensemble Analysis Revolution
Beyond Single-Instrument Analysis
Traditional indicators analyze one chart in isolation. EMD monitors multiple correlated markets simultaneously (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA) to detect systemic regime changes. This ensemble approach:
Reveals Hidden Divergences: Individual stocks may diverge from market consensus before major moves
Filters False Signals: Requires broader market confirmation
Identifies Regime Shifts: Detects when entire market structure changes
Provides Context: Shows if moves are isolated or systemic
Dynamic Threshold Adaptation
Unlike fixed-threshold systems, EMD's boundaries evolve with market conditions:
Base Threshold = SMA(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 3)
Adaptive Component = StDev(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 2) × Sensitivity
Final Threshold = Smoothed(Base + Adaptive)
This creates context-aware signals that remain effective across different market environments.
The Confidence Engine: Know Your Signal Quality
Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring
Every signal receives a confidence score based on:
Signal Clarity (0-35%): How decisively the ergodic threshold is crossed
Momentum Strength (0-25%): Rate of ergodic change
Volatility Alignment (0-20%): Whether volatility supports the signal
Market Quality (0-20%): Price convergence and path dependency factors
Real-Time Confidence Updates
The Live Confidence metric continuously updates, showing:
- Current opportunity quality
- Market state clarity
- Historical performance influence
- Signal recency boost
- Visual Intelligence System

Custom Sector Relative Strength (sector rotation)📌 Indicator Summary for “Custom Sector Relative Strength (sector rotation)”
🔹 Overview:
This Pine Script indicator calculates and displays the relative strength performance of up to 25 customizable sectors or ETFs compared to a user-defined benchmark index (e.g., SPY, TASI.TAD, etc.).
It helps traders and analysts identify which sectors are outperforming or underperforming relative to the benchmark over different time frames.
________________________________________
🔹 Calculation Method:
For each sector, the indicator:
1. Retrieves the current and past closing prices for both the sector and the benchmark.
2. Computes the ratio of the sector's price to the benchmark at both time points.
3. Calculates the percentage change in this ratio over the selected lookback period:
4. Relative Strength (%) = ((Current_Ratio / Past_Ratio) - 1) * 100
5. Assigns a direction symbol:
o ↑ for positive outperformance
o ↓ for underperformance
o → for no significant change
6. Applies a color code for clarity:
o Green for ↑
o Red for ↓
o Gray for →
________________________________________
🔹 How to Use:
1. Set your benchmark index (e.g., SPY or TASI.TAD) from the settings panel.
2. Choose a lookback period: 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, or 1 Year.
3. Define up to 25 sectors:
o Enter the symbol and name of each sector.
o Toggle the Show option on/off to include/exclude any sector.
4. The script will sort the sectors from strongest to weakest based on their relative performance.
5. Results are displayed in a dynamic table on the chart showing:
o Ticker
o Sector Name
