Absorption RatioThe Hidden Connections Between Markets
Financial markets are not isolated islands. When panic spreads, seemingly unrelated assets suddenly begin moving in lockstep. Stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies that normally provide diversification benefits start falling together. This phenomenon, where correlations spike during crises, has devastated portfolios throughout history. The Absorption Ratio provides a quantitative measure of this hidden fragility.
The concept emerged from research at State Street Associates, where Mark Kritzman, Yuanzhen Li, Sebastien Page, and Roberto Rigobon developed a novel application of principal component analysis to measure systemic risk. Their 2011 paper in the Journal of Portfolio Management demonstrated that when markets become tightly coupled, the variance explained by the first few principal components increases dramatically. This concentration of variance signals elevated systemic risk.
What the Absorption Ratio Measures
Principal component analysis, or PCA, is a statistical technique that identifies the underlying factors driving a set of variables. When applied to asset returns, the first principal component typically captures broad market movements. The second might capture sector rotations or risk-on/risk-off dynamics. Additional components capture increasingly idiosyncratic patterns.
The Absorption Ratio measures the fraction of total variance absorbed or explained by a fixed number of principal components. In the original research, Kritzman and colleagues used the first fifth of the eigenvectors. When this fraction is high, it means a small number of factors are driving most of the market movements. Assets are moving together, and diversification provides less protection than usual.
Consider an analogy: imagine a room full of people having independent conversations. Each person speaks at different times about different topics. The total "variance" of sound in the room comes from many independent sources. Now imagine a fire alarm goes off. Suddenly everyone is talking about the same thing, moving in the same direction. The variance is now dominated by a single factor. The Absorption Ratio captures this transition from diverse, independent behavior to unified, correlated movement.
The Implementation Approach
TradingView does not support matrix algebra required for true principal component analysis. This implementation uses a closely related proxy: the average absolute correlation across a universe of major asset classes. This approach captures the same underlying phenomenon because when assets are highly correlated, the first principal component explains more variance by mathematical necessity.
The asset universe includes eight ETFs representing major investable categories: SPY and QQQ for large cap US equities, IWM for small caps, EFA for developed international markets, EEM for emerging markets, TLT for long-term treasuries, GLD for gold, and USO for oil. This selection provides exposure to equities across geographies and market caps, plus traditional diversifying assets.
From eight assets, there are twenty-eight unique pairwise correlations. The indicator calculates each using a rolling window, takes the absolute value to measure coupling strength regardless of direction, and averages across all pairs. This average correlation is then transformed to match the typical range of published Absorption Ratio values.
The transformation maps zero average correlation to an AR of 0.50 and perfect correlation to an AR of 1.00. This scaling aligns with empirical observations that the AR typically fluctuates between 0.60 and 0.95 in practice.
Interpreting the Regimes
The indicator classifies systemic risk into four regimes based on AR levels.
The Extreme regime occurs when the AR exceeds 0.90. At this level, nearly all asset classes are moving together. Diversification has largely failed. Historically, this regime has coincided with major market dislocations: the 2008 financial crisis, the 2020 COVID crash, and significant correction periods. Portfolios constructed under normal correlation assumptions will experience larger drawdowns than expected.
The High regime, between 0.80 and 0.90, indicates elevated systemic risk. Correlations across asset classes are above normal. This often occurs during the build-up to stress events or during volatile periods where fear is spreading but has not reached panic levels. Risk management should be more conservative.
The Normal regime covers AR values between 0.60 and 0.80. This represents typical market conditions where some correlation exists between assets but diversification still provides meaningful benefits. Standard portfolio construction assumptions are reasonable.
The Low regime, below 0.60, indicates that assets are behaving relatively independently. Diversification is working well. Idiosyncratic factors dominate returns rather than systematic risk. This environment is favorable for active management and security selection strategies.
The Relationship to Portfolio Construction
The implications for portfolio management are significant. Modern portfolio theory assumes correlations are stable and uses historical estimates to construct efficient portfolios. The Absorption Ratio reveals that this assumption is violated precisely when it matters most.
When AR is elevated, the effective number of independent bets in a diversified portfolio shrinks. A portfolio holding stocks, bonds, commodities, and real estate might behave as if it holds only one or two positions during high AR periods. Position sizing based on normal correlation estimates will underestimate portfolio risk.
Conversely, when AR is low, true diversification opportunities expand. The same nominal portfolio provides more independent return streams. Risk can be deployed more aggressively while maintaining the same effective exposure.
Component Analysis
The indicator separately tracks equity correlations and cross-asset correlations. These components tell different stories about market structure.
Equity correlations measure coupling within the stock market. High equity correlation indicates broad risk-on or risk-off behavior where all stocks move together. This is common during both rallies and selloffs driven by macroeconomic factors. Stock pickers face headwinds when equity correlations are elevated because individual company fundamentals matter less than market beta.
Cross-asset correlations measure coupling between different asset classes. When stocks, bonds, and commodities start moving together, traditional hedges fail. The classic 60/40 stock/bond portfolio, for example, assumes negative or low correlation between equities and treasuries. When cross-asset correlation spikes, this assumption breaks down.
During the 2022 market environment, for instance, both stocks and bonds fell significantly as inflation and rate hikes affected all assets simultaneously. High cross-asset correlation warned that the usual defensive allocations would not provide their expected protection.
Mean Reversion Characteristics
Like most risk metrics, the Absorption Ratio tends to mean-revert over time. Extremely high AR readings eventually normalize as panic subsides and assets return to more independent behavior. Extremely low readings tend to rise as some level of systematic risk always reasserts itself.
The indicator tracks AR in statistical terms by calculating its Z-score relative to the trailing distribution. When AR reaches extreme Z-scores, the probability of normalization increases. This creates potential opportunities for strategies that bet on mean reversion in systemic risk.
A buy signal triggers when AR recovers from extremely elevated levels, suggesting the worst of the correlation spike may be over. A sell signal triggers when AR rises from unusually low levels, warning that complacency about diversification benefits may be excessive.
Momentum and Trend
The rate of change in AR carries information beyond the absolute level. Rapidly rising AR suggests correlations are increasing and systemic risk is building. Even if AR has not yet reached the high regime, acceleration in coupling should prompt increased vigilance.
Falling AR momentum indicates normalizing conditions. Correlations are decreasing and assets are returning to more independent behavior. This often occurs in the recovery phase following stress events.
Practical Application
For asset allocators, the AR provides guidance on how much diversification benefit to expect from a given allocation. During high AR periods, reducing overall portfolio risk makes sense because the usual diversifiers provide less protection. During low AR periods, standard or even aggressive allocations are more appropriate.
For risk managers, the AR serves as an early warning indicator. Rising AR often precedes large market moves and volatility spikes. Tightening risk limits before correlations reach extreme levels can protect capital.
For systematic traders, the AR provides a regime filter. Mean reversion strategies may work better during high AR periods when panics create overshooting. Momentum strategies may work better during low AR periods when trends can develop independently across assets.
Limitations and Considerations
The proxy methodology introduces some approximation error relative to true PCA-based AR calculations. The asset universe, while representative, does not include all possible diversifiers. Correlation estimates are inherently backward-looking and can change rapidly.
The transformation from average correlation to AR scale is calibrated to match typical published ranges but is not mathematically equivalent to the eigenvalue ratio. Users should interpret levels directionally rather than as precise measurements.
Correlation regimes can persist longer than expected. Mean reversion signals indicate elevated probability of normalization but do not guarantee timing. High AR can remain elevated throughout extended crisis periods.

Liquidations (TV Source / Manual / Proxy) Cruz Pro Stack + Liquidations (TV Source / Manual / Proxy) is a high-confluence crypto trading indicator built to merge reversal detection, volatility timing, structure confirmation, and liquidation pressure into one clean decision engine.
This script combines five pro-grade components:
1) RSI Divergence (Regular + Hidden)
Detects early momentum shifts at tops and bottoms to anticipate reversals before price fully reacts.
2) BBWP (Bollinger Band Width Percentile)
Identifies volatility compression and expansion cycles to time breakout conditions and avoid low-quality chop.
3) Market Structure (BOS / CHOCH proxy)
Confirms trend continuation or change-of-character using swing breaks for more reliable directional bias.
4) Liquidations Layer (3 Modes)
Adds liquidation-driven context for where price is likely to squeeze or flush next:
TV Source: Use TradingView’s built-in Liquidations plot when available.
Manual Totals: Paste 12h/24h/48h long/short totals for higher-level regime bias.
Proxy (Volume Shock): A fallback approximation for spot charts using volume + candle direction.
The script automatically converts your chart timeframe into rolling 12/24/48-hour windows, then computes a weighted liquidation bias and a spike detector to flag potential exhaustion moves.
5) Confluence Score + Signals
A simple scoring engine highlights high-probability setups when multiple factors align.
Signals are printed only when divergence + structure + volatility context agree with liquidation pressure.
How to use
Best on BTC/ETH perps across 15m–4H.
For maximum accuracy:
Add TradingView’s Liquidations indicator (if your exchange/symbol supports it).
Set Liquidations Mode = TV Source.
Select the Liquidations plot as the source.
If that plot can’t be selected, switch to Proxy or Manual Totals.
What this indicator is designed to improve
Earlier reversal recognition
Cleaner breakout timing
Structure-confirmed entries
Better risk management around liquidation-driven moves
Fewer low-quality trades during dead volatility

5-Min Range Breakout (09:30 NY on MNQ)This is a 5 - min orb strat that a youtuber mentioned and i had a manual look for a while and thought it was actually pretty good but my results are bad. Feel free to look yourself with this code.
Basically this strat is using the 5min orb then go down to 1min timeframe and wait for a breakout with FVG confirmation. So candle after breaking candle is our entry only if FVG is formed.
However i do notice if you dump this code onto 5min timefraem and above you start consistently making money but it is a very small amount for me so you all can have it. Good starter strat on 5min or 10min timeframe

- **Dynamic Extension**: Order Blocks extend until broken, providing clear visual guidance
- **Volume Distribution**: Shows bullish vs bearish volume breakdown with percentage
### 📊 Fair Value Gaps (FVG) Detection
- **Lightweight Processing**: Works on current chart timeframe only for optimal performance
- **Volume Metrics**: Displays FVG volume and dominant side percentage
- **Mitigation Tracking**: Automatically tracks when FVGs are filled or broken
- **Customizable Mitigation Source**: Choose between close price or high/low wicks
### 🔔 Comprehensive Alert System

- **Clean Labels**: Shows timeframe, zone type, volume, and dominant percentage
- **Combined Tags**: Optional labels for merged zones
- **Adjustable Extension**: Control how far zones extend into the future
## How It Works
### Order Blocks
Order Blocks identify institutional trading zones where large players have placed significant orders. The indicator:
1. Detects swing highs/lows using configurable swing length
2. Identifies the last opposing candle before a strong move
3. Analyzes volume distribution (bullish vs bearish)
4. Tracks zone validity until price breaks through
5. Combines overlapping zones from multiple timeframes
### Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gaps represent price imbalances that often get filled. The indicator:
1. Identifies 3-candle patterns with gaps between candles
2. Filters gaps by size percentile to show only significant ones
3. Calculates volume distribution within the gap
4. Tracks mitigation when price returns to fill the gap
5. Extends gaps dynamically until filled
### Bounce Detection
The indicator detects bounces using a two-step process:
1. **Touch Phase**: Tracks when price enters a zone (touchedInside flag)
2. **Bounce Phase**: Confirms bounce when price exits the zone in the expected direction
- Bullish zones: Price closes above top after touching inside
- Bearish zones: Price closes below bottom after touching inside
## Settings Guide
### General Configuration
- **Show Historic Zones**: Display invalidated/broken zones
- **Zone Invalidation**: Choose between wick or close for break detection
- **Combine Overlapping Order Blocks**: Merge OBs from different timeframes

# Six Meridians Unified Long/Short Strategy
## Overview
The "Six Meridians Unified Long/Short Strategy" is a comprehensive quantitative trading strategy built on TradingView Pine Script v6, designed for cross-asset long/short trading (stocks, cryptocurrencies, futures, forex, etc.). It leverages the resonance of **6 classic technical indicators** to filter high-confidence trading signals, reducing false signals caused by single-indicator bias and improving the reliability of entry/exit decisions.
## Core Indicators (6 "Meridians")
The strategy evaluates bullish/bearish trends by calculating 6 key technical indicators, with a "bullish count" system to quantify trend strength:
| Indicator | Calculation Parameters | Bullish Condition | Bearish Condition |
|-------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| MACD | Fast=12, Slow=26, Signal=9 | MACD line crosses above Signal line | MACD line crosses below Signal line |
| KDJ (Stochastic Oscillator) | Length=14, SmoothK=3, SmoothD=3 | K line > D line | K line < D line |
| RSI (Relative Strength Index) | Short=6, Long=12 | Short-period RSI (6) > Long-period RSI (12) | Short-period RSI (6) < Long-period RSI (12) |
| LWR (Modified Williams %R) | Length=14, Smooth=6 | LWR1 (WMA-smooth) > LWR2 (6-period WMA) | LWR1 < LWR2 |
| BBI (Bollinger Band Index) | EMA(3)+EMA(6)+EMA(12)+EMA(24) /4 | Close price > BBI line | Close price < BBI line |
| MTM (Momentum) | Period=12, MMS=6, MMM=14 | Short momentum line (MMS) > Long momentum line (MMM) | Short momentum line (MMS) < Long momentum line (MMM) |
## Trading Logic
The strategy uses a "count-based" trigger mechanism to execute position management (no pyramiding allowed):
### Long Position Rules
1. **Entry**: Open long position only when all 6 indicators show bullish signals (`bullCount = 6`).
2. **Partial Exit**: Reduce 50% of long position when 4 indicators remain bullish (`bullCount = 4`).
3. **Full Exit**: Close all long positions when ≤3 indicators are bullish (`bullCount ≤ 3`).
### Short Position Rules
1. **Entry**: Open short position only when all 6 indicators show bearish signals (`bearCount = 6`).
2. **Partial Exit**: Cover 50% of short position when 4 indicators remain bearish (`bearCount = 4`).
3. **Full Exit**: Close all short positions when ≤3 indicators are bearish (`bearCount ≤ 3`).
## Strategy Parameters (Risk & Capital Management)
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|--------------------------|----------------|----------------------------------------------|
| Initial Capital | $100,000 | Starting equity for backtesting |
| Default Order Size | $10,000 (cash) | Fixed cash amount per trade (instead of lots) |
| Commission | 0.1% per trade | Realistic transaction cost (percent-based) |
| Margin Requirement | 100% | No leverage (1:1 trading) |
| Pyramiding | 0 | No additional positions on existing trades |
## Key Features
1. **Multi-Indicator Resonance**: Eliminates noise from single-indicator false signals by requiring consensus across 6 diverse technical metrics.
2. **Gradual Position Management**: Partial exit (50%) before full closure to lock in profits and reduce downside risk.
3. **Full Automation**: Automatically executes entry/exit/position adjustment without manual intervention.
4. **Visualization Tools**: Plots BBI line, long/short signal labels, and bullish indicator count for easy strategy monitoring.
5. **Versatility**: Adaptable to multiple timeframes (15min, 1H, 4H, daily) and asset classes.
## Notes
- The strategy is optimized for trend-following markets and may underperform in choppy/range-bound conditions.
- Backtest results should be validated across different market cycles (bull, bear, sideways) before live trading.
- Parameters (e.g., indicator periods, order size) can be adjusted based on specific asset volatility and trading style.
Time-based levelsScript to plot time-based levels such as yearly/quarterly/monthly/Monday open, Monday range, previous month/week/day range.
This script does NOT handle sessions, therefore it's better suited for crypto which is 24/7.
There are various display options.
- Monday open is displayed immediately, but Monday High / Low / Mid 50% are displayed from Tuesday (i.e. when Monday closes and H/L are set for good)
This behaviour can be overridden using the appropriate option within the indicator's inputs parameters
- Levels are time-frame dependant (for instance, a daily level such as "Monday open" only shows on D1 TF and lower TF)
- To avoid redundancies:
* Yearly open is not displayed on January (redundant with monthly open)
* Quarterly open is not displayed on January, April, July and October (redundant with monthly open), neither on Feb. and March (redundant with yearly open)
* Previous day High / Low / Mid 50% are not displayed on Tuesday (redundant with Monday open / High / Low / Mid 50%)
* Daily open is not displayed on Monday (redundant with Monday open)
- Alerts can be created when prices crosses levels such as yearly/quarterly/monthly/Monday open, Monday range, previous month/week/day range
Known issue (TradingView ticket opened as issue is on their side):
On the W1 TF, if the current week spans over 2 months, the monthly open will be incorrect and still use the previous month open instead.
Once the week closes, the monthly open will be displayed correctly. This issue is not present on other TF.
Example: on Feb. 2nd 2023, when W1 TF is selected, monthly open shows January open instead of February open.
Setup Keltner BandS MMS + RSI SIGNALS
📊 Keltner Bands with RSI Confirmation – TradingView Script
Introduction
This script combines Keltner Channel logic with Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirmation to provide traders with visual signals and alerts for potential reversals. It is designed for scalping and short-term trading strategies, where precision and quick decision-making are essential.
🔧 How It Works
• Keltner Bands (ATR-based):
• Two sets of bands are plotted around a moving average:
• Band 3 (ATR × 3) – more sensitive, suitable for aggressive entries.
• Band 5 (ATR × 5) – wider, used as a filter or confirmation zone.
• Signals are generated when the price crosses back inside the bands from outside.
• RSI Confirmation:
• RSI is calculated with a customizable period (default: 14).
• Overbought and oversold levels (default: 70/30) are used to filter signals.
• A bearish reversal is confirmed only if RSI is above the overbought level.
• A bullish reversal is confirmed only if RSI is below the oversold level.
📌 Functions and Features
• Visual Signals:
• Triangles plotted above/below candles for Keltner-only signals.
• Additional colored triangles for Keltner + RSI confirmed signals.
• Alerts:
• Configurable alerts for both Keltner-only and RSI-confirmed conditions.
• Messages include the type of reversal and the band level.
• Customizable Parameters:
• Moving average length.
• ATR multipliers (3 and 5).
• RSI length and thresholds.
• Colors for band fills and signals.
🎯 Usage
1. Apply the script to your chart in TradingView.
2. Adjust parameters to fit your trading style (scalping, intraday, swing).
3. Watch for signals:
• Red/green/orange/teal triangles → Keltner-only reversals.
• Maroon/lime/purple/blue triangles → RSI-confirmed reversals.
4. Set alerts to receive notifications when conditions are met.
5. Use RSI confirmation to filter out false signals and increase accuracy.
✅ Benefits
• Clear visualization of reversal zones.
• Dual-layer confirmation (Keltner + RSI).
• Flexible for different timeframes and trading styles.
• Ready-to-use alerts for automation or manual trading.
