Volumetric Expansion/Contraction### Indicator Title: Volumetric Expansion/Contraction
### Summary
The Volumetric Expansion/Contraction (PCC) indicator is a comprehensive momentum oscillator designed to identify high-conviction price moves. Unlike traditional oscillators that only look at price, the PCC integrates four critical dimensions of market activity: **Price Change**, **Relative Volume (RVOL)**, **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)**, and **Average True Range (ATR)**.
Its primary purpose is to help traders distinguish between meaningful, volume-backed market expansions and noisy, unsustainable price action. It gives more weight to moves that occur in a controlled, low-volatility environment, highlighting potential starts of new trends or significant shifts in market sentiment.
### Key Concepts & Purpose
The indicator's unique formula synthesizes the following concepts:
1. **Price Change:** Measures the magnitude and direction of the primary move.
2. **Relative Volume (RVOL):** Confirms that the move is backed by significant volume compared to its recent average, indicating institutional participation.
3. **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD):** Measures the underlying buying and selling pressure, confirming that the price move is aligned with the net flow of market orders.
4. **Inverse Volatility (ATR):** This is the indicator's unique twist. It normalizes the signal by the inverse of the Average True Range. This means the indicator's value is **amplified** when volatility (ATR) is low (signifying a controlled, confident expansion) and **dampened** when volatility is high (filtering out chaotic, less predictable moves).
The goal is to provide a single, easy-to-read oscillator that signals when price, volume, and order flow are all in alignment, especially during a breakout from a period of contraction.
### Features
* **Main Oscillator Line:** A single line plotted in a separate pane that represents the calculated strength of the volumetric expansion or contraction.
* **Zero Line:** A dotted reference line to easily distinguish between bullish (above zero) and bearish (below zero) regimes.
* **Visual Threshold Zones:** The background automatically changes color to highlight periods of significant strength:
* **Bright Green:** Indicates a "Strong Up Move" when the oscillator crosses above the user-defined upper threshold.
* **Bright Fuchsia:** Indicates a "Strong Down Move" when the oscillator crosses below the user-defined lower threshold.
### Configurable Settings & Filters
The indicator is fully customizable to allow for extensive testing and adaptation to different assets and timeframes.
#### Main Calculation Inputs
* **Price Change Lookback:** Sets the period for calculating the primary price change.
* **CVD Normalization Length:** The lookback period for normalizing the Cumulative Volume Delta.
* **RVOL Avg Volume Length:** The lookback for the simple moving average of volume, used to calculate RVOL.
* **RVOL Normalization Length:** The lookback period for normalizing the RVOL score.
* **ATR Length & Normalization Length:** Sets the periods for calculating the ATR and its longer-term average for normalization.
#### Weights
* Fine-tune the impact of each core component on the final calculation, allowing you to emphasize what matters most to your strategy (e.g., give more weight to CVD or RVOL).
#### External Market Filter (Powerful Feature)
* **Enable SPY/QQQ Filter for Up Moves?:** A checkbox to activate a powerful regime filter.
* **Symbol:** A dropdown to choose whether to filter signals based on the trend of **SPY** or **QQQ**.
* **SMA Period:** Sets the lookback period for the Simple Moving Average (default is 50).
* **How it works:** When enabled, this filter will **only allow "Strong Up Move" signals to appear if the chosen symbol (SPY or QQQ) is currently trading above its specified SMA**. This is an excellent tool for aligning your signals with the broader market trend and avoiding bullish entries in a bearish market.
#### Visuals
* **Upper/Lower Threshold:** Allows you to define what level the oscillator must cross to trigger the colored background zones, letting you customize the indicator's sensitivity.

RACZ-SIGNAL-V2.1RACZ-SIGNAL-V2.1 – Reactive Analytical Confluence Zones
Developed by: RACZ Trading
Indicator Type: Multi-Factor Confluence System
Overlay: Off (separate pane)
Purpose: Detect powerful trade opportunities through confluence of technical signals.
⸻
🔍 What is RACZ?
RACZ stands for Reactive Analytical Confluence Zones.
It’s a high-precision trading tool built for traders who rely on multi-signal confirmation, momentum alignment, and market structure awareness.
Rather than relying on a single technical metric, RACZ dynamically combines RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX, and Volume Analytics to produce a composite signal score from 0 to 12 — the higher the score, the stronger the signal.
⸻
🧠 How It Works – Core Components
1. RSI Analysis
• Detects momentum shifts.
• Compares RSI value to overbought (default: 67) and oversold (default: 33) thresholds.
• Adds points to Bullish or Bearish score.
2. VWAP-RSI
• Uses RSI based on VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).
• Adds weight to signals influenced by volume-adjusted price movement.
3. Divergence Detection
• Detects potential reversal zones.
• Bullish Divergence: RSI crosses up from low zone.
• Bearish Divergence: RSI crosses down from high zone.
• Strong confluence signal when present.
4. ADX Dynamic Strength Filter
• Custom-calculated ADX (trend strength indicator).
• Uses a dynamic threshold derived from SMA of ADX over a lookback period, scaled by a factor (default 0.9).
• Ensures signals are only validated in strong trend environments.
5. Volume Z-Score
• Detects anomalies in volume behavior.
• Z-score applied to 20-period volume average & deviation.
• Labels spikes, drops, high/low volume conditions.
⸻
📊 Signal Scoring Logic
Each component (RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX) can score up to 3 points each.
• Bullish Score: Total from bullish alignment of each factor.
• Bearish Score: Total from bearish alignment of each factor.
• Signal Power = max(bullish, bearish)
📈 Signal Interpretation
• BUY: Bullish Score > Bearish Score
• SELL: Bearish Score > Bullish Score
• NEUTRAL: Scores are equal
• Signal power is plotted on a 0–12 histogram:
• 0–5 = Weak
• 6–8 = Medium
• 9–12 = Strong (High Confluence Zone)
🖥️ Live Status Panel (Top-Right Corner)
This real-time panel helps you break down the signal:Component

cd_cisd_market_CxHi Traders,
Overview:
Many traders follow market structure to identify the market direction and seek trade opportunities in line with the trend.
However, markings derived from user-defined inputs can create different structures, depending on personal choices. For instance, choosing a pivot distance of 3 instead of 2 alters the structure, even though the chart remains the same. Ideally, the structure should remain consistent.
"Change in State Delivery" ( CISD ) is a widely accepted concept among traders and is considered a significant indicator of market direction based on the gain/loss of CISD levels.
In this indicator, CISD is selected as the primary criterion for marking market structure, eliminating the influence of user-dependent variations.
Here is a summary of the key logic and rules applied:
• When the price forms a new high/low, that level is only considered a pivot if a CISD has occurred.
• A bullish CISD is always followed by a bearish CISD, and vice versa.
• Pivot points form the internal structure.
• The internal structure is used to interpret the swing structure.
• Probabilities are derived from internal structure patterns.
________________________________________
Details:
How is CISD determined?
As is commonly known:
• When price makes a new high, the opening level of the first candle in the consecutive bullish candle sequence is marked.
• When price makes a new low, the opening of the first candle in the consecutive bearish sequence is marked.
• If there’s only one candle in the sequence, its opening level is used.
In a bullish market, losing a bearish CISD level (i.e., a close below it) or in a bearish market, gaining a bullish CISD level (i.e., a close above it) is interpreted as a potential shift in buyer-seller dominance and a possible market reversal.
________________________________________
How are internal (pivot) levels determined?
• When price closes below a bearish CISD level, the highest candle's high becomes a pivot high (PH).
• When price closes above a bullish CISD level, the lowest candle's low becomes a pivot low (PL).
• If the new PH is above the previous PH, it’s labeled as HH (Higher High); otherwise, LH (Lower High).
• If the new PL is below the previous PL, it’s labeled as LL (Lower Low); otherwise, HL (Higher Low).
________________________________________
Internal Market Structure:
• A series of HHs indicates a bullish internal structure.
• A series of LLs indicates a bearish internal structure.
________________________________________
Swing (Main) Market Structure:
Using internal pivots and previous swing levels, the main market structure is derived.
• A new swing high (SH) requires the price to move above the previous SH.
• A new swing low (SL) requires the price to move below the previous SL.
________________________________________
Probability Calculation:
Pivot levels forming the internal structure are coded as five-element sequences.
There are 64 possible combinations of such sequences made from consecutive PH and PL values.
Each pattern’s frequency from its starting candle is tracked.
To make it more understandable:
For example, after the four-sequence “HH, LL, LH,HL”, either HH or LH might follow.
The table shows the statistical likelihood of both possible outcomes for the most recent four-element sequence on the chart.
________________________________________
How reliable is it?
To assess reliability, results are calculated from the beginning using:
Success Rate (Suc. Rt) = Number of Correct Predictions / Total Predictions
This value is added to the table for reference.
It’s important to note that no statistical outcome guarantees certainty—every result offers a different interpretation. What truly matters is to avoid getting stopped out 😊.
________________________________________
Menu Options:
Show/hide preferences and color selections can be customized via the indicator menu.

What’s Coming in Future Versions?
Features such as FVG (Fair Value Gaps) between swing levels, volume imbalances, order blocks / mitigation blocks, Fibonacci levels, and relevant trade suggestions will be added.

Stephis Supply & Demand Zones v3
📉 Support
Definition: Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause or reverse due to a concentration of buying interest.
Why it matters: When the price of an asset falls to a support level, traders expect buyers to step in, preventing the price from falling further.
Visual clue: On a chart, support often appears as a horizontal line where the price has bounced up multiple times.
📈 Demand
Definition: Demand refers to the willingness and ability of buyers to purchase an asset at a given price.
In trading context: High demand typically pushes prices up, while low demand can lead to price drops.
Relation to support: A support level exists because of demand—buyers are willing to buy at that price, creating a floor.
🧠 How They Work Together
When price approaches a support level, traders watch to see if demand increases—if it does, the price may bounce.
If the support level is broken, it may signal that demand has weakened, and the price could fall further.
🔁 Opposite Concept: Resistance & Supply
Resistance is the opposite of support—it's a level where selling pressure (supply) may stop a price from rising.
Just like demand creates support, supply creates resistance.
Advanced Volume Profile Levels (Working)This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use volume profile analysis to identify significant price levels. It automatically calculates and plots the three most critical levels derived from volume data—the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—for three different timeframes simultaneously: the previous week, the previous day, and the current, live session.
The primary focus of this indicator is unmatched readability. It features dynamic, floating labels that stay clear of price action, combined with a high-contrast design to ensure you can see these crucial levels at a glance without any visual clutter.
Key Features
Multi-Session Analysis: Gain a complete market perspective by viewing levels from different timeframes on a single chart.
Weekly Levels: Identify the long-term areas of value and control from the prior week's trading activity.
Daily Levels: Pinpoint the most significant levels from the previous day's Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
Current Session Levels: Track the developing value area and POC in real-time with a dynamic profile that updates with every bar.
Advanced Visuals for Clarity:
Floating Labels: The labels for the weekly and daily levels intelligently "float" on the right side of your chart, moving with the price to ensure they are never obscured by candles.
High-Contrast Design: Labels are designed for maximum readability with solid, opaque backgrounds and an automatic text color (black or white) that provides the best contrast against your chosen level color.
Trailing Current Levels: The labels for the current session neatly trail the most recent price action, providing an intuitive view of intra-day developments.
Comprehensive Customization: Tailor the indicator's appearance to your exact preferences.
Toggle each profile (Weekly, Daily, Current) on or off.
Individually set the color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and line width for each set of levels.
Adjust the text size, background transparency, and horizontal offset for all on-chart labels.
Information Hub:
On-Chart Price Labels: Each label clearly displays both the level name and its precise price (e.g., "D-POC: 22068.50").
Corner Table: An optional, clean table in the top-right corner provides a quick summary of all active weekly and daily level values.
Built-in Alerts:
Create alerts directly from the script to be notified whenever the price crosses above or below the weekly or daily Point of Control, helping you stay on top of key market movements.
How to Use
The levels provided by this indicator serve as powerful reference points for market activity:
Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest traded volume. It acts as a magnet for price and represents the area of "fair value" for that session. Markets often test or revert to the POC.
Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL): These levels define the range where approximately 70% of the session's volume occurred. They are critical support and resistance zones.
Price acceptance above the VAH may signal a bullish breakout.
Price acceptance below the VAL may signal a bearish breakdown.
Rejection at the VAH or VAL often leads to price moving back across the value area towards the POC.
Daily ATR TrackerDaily ATR Tracker
The Daily ATR Tracker is a simple yet powerful tool designed to help traders monitor the daily price movement relative to the average daily range (ATR). This indicator provides an objective view of how much price has moved compared to its recent daily volatility.
🔎 Key Features:
Customizable ATR period (default 14 days)
Live calculation of the current day's price range
ATR value displayed in pips for clear reference
Percentage of ATR covered by the current day's range
Color-coded table for quick visual interpretation:
🟢 Green: less than 60% of ATR covered
🟠 Orange: 60% to 100% of ATR covered
🔴 Red: more than 100% of ATR covered
Alert condition when daily range exceeds 100% of the ATR average
Movable table position to fit your chart layout
🎯 Why use Daily ATR Tracker?
✅ Identify exhaustion zones: When price has already covered a large portion of its typical daily range, the odds of further strong movement may diminish, helping you to manage entries, exits, and risk.
✅ Objective daily bias: Get a quantitative sense of how "stretched" the market is in real time.
✅ Works with any timeframe: While designed for daily ranges, you can monitor intraday movements with this context in mind.
⚠️ Usage Note:
This tool does not provide buy or sell signals by itself. It is designed to complement your existing strategies by offering additional context regarding daily range exhaustion.

Trend Blend
Trend blend is my new indicator. I use it to identify my bias when trading and filter out fake setups that are going in the wrong direction.
Trend blend utilises the 9 EMA (Red), 21 EMA (Black), and if you trade futures or Bitcoin, you can also use the VWAP (Blue).
There is also a table at the top right that displays the chart time frame bias
I prefer to use the 1-hour time frame for bias and execute the trades on 5-minute charts, mainly, and sometimes on the 1-minute for a smaller stoploss.
Here's an example of the trade I took during the London session on XAU/USD
1 hour bias was Bearish
Price broke out of the range
I waited for the London session to open, where I ended up taking a short on the 5-minute time frame as we broke out of the pre-London range
Entry was at the Fair Value Gap (5-minute bias was also Bearish as price traded into the FVG)
Stoploss was at the last high
Take Profit was the next major support level
Another set that I like to trade with the Trend blend is when price is trending bullish and price trades inside the 9 and 21 EMA, and there is a bullish candle closer above the 9 EMA with Stoploss below the low of the bullish candle and Take profit between 1-2 Risk to Reward
Same when there's a bearish trend, I wait for price to trade inside the 9 and 21 EMA, and I'll take sells when a bearish candle closes below the 9 EMA.
This setup works best in strong trends, or it can be used to enter a trade on a pullback or to scale into an existing trade.
Rolling Z-Score Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Rolling Z-Score Trend measures how far the current price deviates from its rolling mean in terms of standard deviations. It transforms price data into standardized scores to identify overbought and oversold conditions while tracking momentum shifts.
The indicator displays a Z-Score line showing price deviation from statistical norms, with background momentum columns showing the rate of change in these deviations. This helps traders and investors identify mean reversion opportunities and momentum shifts across different asset classes and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator uses the Z-Score formula: Z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the current closing price, μ is the rolling mean, and σ is the rolling standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period. This creates a dynamic baseline that adapts to changing market conditions and standardizes price movements for interpretation across different assets and volatility conditions. The raw Z-Score undergoes 3-period EMA smoothing to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness to market signals.
Beyond the basic Z-Score calculation, the indicator measures the rate of change in Z-Score values between successive bars, displayed as background momentum columns. This momentum component shows acceleration and deceleration of statistical deviations. All calculations are processed through confirmation filters, displaying signals only on confirmed bars to reduce premature signals based on incomplete price action.
🟢 How to Use
1. Z-Score Interpretation and Threshold Zones
Positive Values (Above Zero) : Price trading above statistical mean, suggesting bullish momentum or potential overbought conditions
Negative Values (Below Zero) : Price trading below statistical mean, suggesting bearish momentum or potential oversold conditions
Zero Line Crosses : Signal transitions between statistical regimes and potential trend changes
Upper Threshold Zone : Area above entry threshold (default 1.5) indicating potential overbought conditions
Lower Threshold Zone : Area below negative entry threshold (default -1.5) indicating potential oversold conditions
Extreme Values (±2.0 or higher) : Statistically significant deviations that may indicate reversal opportunities
2. Momentum Background Analysis and Info Table
Green Columns : Accelerating positive momentum in Z-Score values
Red Columns : Accelerating negative momentum in Z-Score values
Column Height : Magnitude of momentum change between bars
Momentum Divergence : When columns contradict primary Z-Score direction, often signals impending reversals
Info Table : Displays real-time numerical values for both Z-Score and momentum, including trend direction indicators and bar-to-bar change calculations for position management
3. Preconfigured Settings
Default : Balanced performance across multiple timeframes and asset classes for general trading and medium-term position management.
Scalping : Responsive setup for ultra-short-term trading on 1-15 minute charts with frequent signals and increased sensitivity to quick price movements.
Swing Trading : Optimized for multi-day positions with noise filtering, focusing on larger price swings. Most effective on 1-4 hour and daily timeframes.
Trend Following : Maximum smoothing that prioritizes established trends over short-term volatility. Generates fewer signals for daily and weekly charts.
PulseMA + MADescription
The PulseMA + MA indicator is an analytical tool that combines the analysis of the price relationship to a base Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a smoothed Simple Moving Average (SMA) of this relationship. The indicator helps traders identify the direction and momentum of market trends and generates entry signals, displaying data as lines below the price chart.
Key Features
PulseMA: Calculates trend momentum by multiplying the number of consecutive candles above or below the base EMA by the slope of this average. The number of candles determines trend strength (positive for an uptrend, negative for a downtrend), while the EMA slope reflects the rate of change of the average. The PulseMA value is scaled by multiplying by 100.
Smoothed Average (PulseMA MA): Adds a smoothed SMA, facilitating the identification of long-term changes in market momentum.
Dynamic Colors: The PulseMA line changes color based on the price position relative to the base EMA (green for price above, red for price below).
Zero Line: Indicates the area where the price is close to the base EMA.
Applications
The PulseMA + MA indicator is designed for traders and technical analysts who aim to:
Analyze the direction and momentum of market trends, particularly with higher PulseMA Length values (e.g., 100), which provide a less sensitive EMA for longer-term trends.
Generate entry signals based on the PulseMA color change or the crossover of PulseMA with PulseMA MA.
Anticipate potential price reversals to the zero line when PulseMA is significantly distant from it, which may indicate market overextension.
How to Use
Add the Indicator to the Chart: Search for "PulseMA + MA" in the indicator library and add it to your chart.
Adjust Parameters:
PulseMA Length: Length of the base EMA (default: 50).
PulseMA Smoothing Length: Length of the smoothed SMA (default: 20).
Interpretation:
Green PulseMA Line: Price is above the base EMA, suggesting an uptrend.
Red PulseMA Line: Price is below the base EMA, indicating a downtrend.
PulseMA Color Change: May signal an entry point (recommended to wait for 2 candles to reduce noise).
PulseMA Crossing PulseMA MA from Below: May indicate a buy signal in an uptrend.
Zero Line: Indicates the area where the price is close to the base EMA.
Significant Deviation of PulseMA from the Zero Line: Suggests a potential price reversal to the zero line, indicating possible market overextension.
Notes
The indicator generates trend signals and can be used to independently identify entry points, e.g., on PulseMA color changes (waiting 2 candles is recommended to reduce noise) or when PulseMA crosses PulseMA MA from below.
In sideways markets, it is advisable to use the indicator with a volatility filter to limit false signals.
Adjusting the lengths of the averages to suit the specific instrument can improve signal accuracy.
True High/Low RSI for DivergenceThis Pine Script creates a highly specialized RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator designed to provide a more accurate signal for divergence trading. Its official title is "True High/Low RSI for Divergence."
Here is a breakdown of its core features:
1. Dual RSI Calculation based on Highs and Lows:
Unlike a standard RSI that typically uses the closing price of a candle, this indicator calculates two separate RSI lines:
A "High RSI" : This line calculates the RSI based on the high price of each candle. It is intended to track momentum peaks more accurately.
A "Low RSI" : This line calculates the RSI based on the low price of each candle. It is designed to track momentum troughs more accurately.
The main purpose of this separation is to avoid the potential errors that can occur when using an average price (like the close or hl2) during periods of high volatility. By using the true extremes of the price candles, the indicator aims to show a more "true" representation of momentum for identifying divergences between price and the indicator.
2. Dynamic Transparency:
This is a key visual feature. The RSI lines are not always fully visible. They dynamically fade into view as they enter significant overbought or oversold zones:
The Low RSI line (red by default) is invisible when above a value of 50. As it drops from 49 towards 30, it becomes progressively more opaque (more visible). It reaches full opacity at an RSI value of 30, visually alerting the user to strengthening oversold conditions.
The High RSI line (blue by default) is invisible when below a value of 50. As it rises from 51 towards 70, it also becomes progressively more opaque. It is fully opaque at an RSI value of 70, highlighting strengthening overbought conditions.
3. User Customization:
The script allows for user flexibility. You can change:
The colors for both the High and Low RSI lines.
The RSI calculation length (default is 14).
The price source for each RSI line (though they are specifically designed to use high and low).
In summary, this indicator is a purpose-built tool for traders who rely on divergence. It provides a more precise and visually intuitive way to track momentum at its true peaks and troughs, helping to make more informed trading decisions.

Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI# Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI: Market Breadth Indicator Analysis
## Overview
The Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI is a comprehensive market breadth indicator designed to monitor market internals across NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. It tracks several key metrics including up/down volume ratios, TICK readings, and trend momentum to provide traders with real-time insights into market direction, strength, and potential turning points.
## Indicator Components
This indicator displays a table with data for:
- NYSE breadth metrics
- NASDAQ breadth metrics
- NYSE TICK data and trends
- NASDAQ TICK (TICKQ) data and trends
## Table Columns and Interpretation
### Column 1: Market
Identifies the data source:
- **NYSE**: New York Stock Exchange data
- **NASDAQ**: NASDAQ exchange data
- **Tick**: NYSE TICK index
- **TickQ**: NASDAQ TICK index
### Column 2: Ratio
Shows the current ratio values with different calculations depending on the row:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Displays the up/down volume ratio
- Positive values (green): More up volume than down volume
- Negative values (red): More down volume than up volume
- The magnitude indicates the strength of the imbalance
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the ratio of positive to negative ticks plus the current TICK reading in parentheses
- Format: "Ratio (Current TICK value)"
- Positive values (green): More stocks ticking up than down
- Negative values (red): More stocks ticking down than up
### Column 3: Trend
Displays the directional trend with both a symbol and value:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Shows the VOLD (volume difference) slope
- "↗": Rising trend (positive slope)
- "↘": Falling trend (negative slope)
- "→": Neutral/flat trend (minimal slope)
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the slope of the ratio history
- Color-coding: Green for positive momentum, Red for negative momentum, Gray for neutral
The trend column is particularly important as it shows the current momentum of the market. The indicator applies specific thresholds for color-coding:
- NYSE: Green when normalized value > 2, Red when < -2
- NASDAQ: Green when normalized value > 3.5, Red when < -3.5
- TICK/TICKQ: Green when slope > 0.01, Red when slope < -0.01
## How to Use This Indicator
### Basic Interpretation
1. **Market Direction**: When multiple rows show green ratios and upward trends, it suggests strong bullish market internals. Conversely, red ratios and downward trends indicate bearish internals.
2. **Market Breadth**: The magnitude of the ratios indicates how broad-based the market movement is. Higher absolute values suggest stronger market breadth.
3. **Momentum Shifts**: When trend arrows change direction or colors shift, it may signal a potential reversal or change in market momentum.
4. **Divergences**: Look for divergences between different markets (NYSE vs NASDAQ) or between ratios and trends, which can indicate potential market turning points.
### Advanced Usage
- **Volume Normalization**: The indicator includes options to normalize volume data (none, tens, thousands, millions, 10th millions) to handle different exchange scales.
- **Trend Averaging**: The slope calculation uses an averaging period (default: 5) to smooth out noise and identify more reliable trend signals.
## Examples for Interpretation
### Example 1: Strong Bullish Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.75 | ↗ 2.85 |
| NASDAQ | 2.10 | ↗ 4.12 |
| Tick | 2.45 (485) | ↗ 0.05 |
| TickQ | 1.95 (320) | ↗ 0.03 |
```
**Interpretation**: All metrics are positive and trending upward (green), indicating a strong, broad-based rally. The high ratio values show significant bullish dominance. This suggests continuation of the upward move with good momentum.
### Example 2: Weakening Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 0.45 | ↘ -1.50 |
| NASDAQ | 0.85 | → 0.30 |
| Tick | 0.95 (105) | ↘ -0.02 |
| TickQ | 1.20 (160) | → 0.00 |
```
**Interpretation**: The market is showing mixed signals with positive but low ratios, while NYSE and TICK trends are turning negative. NASDAQ shows neutral to slightly positive momentum. This divergence often occurs near market tops or during consolidation phases. Traders should be cautious and consider reducing position sizes.
### Example 3: Negative Market Turning Positive
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | -1.25 | ↗ 1.75 |
| NASDAQ | -0.95 | ↗ 2.80 |
| Tick | -1.35 (-250) | ↗ 0.04 |
| TickQ | -1.10 (-180) | ↗ 0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: This is a potential bottoming pattern. Current ratios are still negative (red) showing overall negative breadth, but the trends are all positive (green arrows), indicating improving momentum. This divergence often occurs at market bottoms and could signal an upcoming reversal. Look for confirmation with price action before establishing long positions.
### Example 4: Mixed Market with Divergence
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.45 | ↘ -2.25 |
| NASDAQ | -0.85 | ↘ -3.80 |
| Tick | 1.20 (230) | ↘ -0.03 |
| TickQ | -0.75 (-120) | ↘ -0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: There's a significant divergence between NYSE (positive ratio) and NASDAQ (negative ratio), while all trends are negative. This suggests sector rotation or a market that's weakening but with certain segments still showing strength. Often seen during late-stage bull markets or in transitions between leadership groups. Consider reducing risk exposure and focusing on relative strength sectors.
## Practical Trading Applications
1. **Confirmation Tool**: Use this indicator to confirm price movements. Strong breadth readings in the direction of the price trend increase confidence in trade decisions.
2. **Early Warning System**: Watch for divergences between price and breadth metrics, which often precede market turns.
3. **Intraday Trading**: The real-time nature of TICK and volume data makes this indicator valuable for day traders to gauge intraday momentum shifts.
4. **Market Regime Identification**: Sustained readings can help identify whether the market is in a trend or chop regime, allowing for appropriate strategy selection.
This breadth indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with price action and other technical indicators rather than in isolation.
Yelober - Sector Rotation Detector# Yelober - Sector Rotation Detector: User Guide

Positive values display with a "+" sign (e.g., +1.25%)
### 3. RSI
Displays the Relative Strength Index value for each sector, which helps identify overbought or oversold conditions:
- Values above 70 (highlighted in red): Potentially overbought
- Values below 30 (highlighted in green): Potentially oversold
- Values between 30-70 (highlighted in blue): Neutral territory
### 4. Vol Ratio
Shows the volume ratio, which compares today's volume to the average volume over the lookback period:
- Values above 1.5x (highlighted in yellow): Indicates abnormally high trading volume
- Values below 1.5x (highlighted in blue): Normal trading volume
This helps identify sectors with unusual activity that may signal important price movements.
### 5. Trend
Displays the current price trend direction with symbols:
- ▲ (green): Uptrend (today's close > yesterday's close)
- ▼ (red): Downtrend (today's close < yesterday's close)
- ◆ (gray): Neutral (today's close = yesterday's close)
## Summary & Recommendations Section
The summary section provides:
1. **Sector Rotation Detection**: Identifies when there's a significant performance gap (>2%) between the strongest and weakest sectors.
2. **Risk-Off Mode Detection**: Alerts when defensive sectors (Consumer Staples and Utilities) are positive while Technology is negative, which often signals investors are moving to safer assets.
3. **Strong Volume Detection**: Indicates when any sector shows abnormally high trading volume.
4. **Stock Recommendations**: Suggests specific stocks to consider for long positions (from the strongest sectors) and short positions (from the weakest sectors).
## Example Interpretations
### Example 1: Sector Rotation
If you see:
- Technology: -1.85%
- Financial: +2.10%
- Summary shows: "SECTOR ROTATION DETECTED: Rotation from Technology to Financial"
**Interpretation**: Capital is moving out of tech stocks and into financial stocks. This could be due to rising interest rates, which typically benefit banks while pressuring high-growth tech companies. Consider looking at financial stocks like JPM, BAC, and WFC for potential long positions.
### Example 2: Risk-Off Conditions
If you see:
- Consumer Staples: +0.80%
- Utilities: +1.20%
- Technology: -1.50%
- Summary shows: "RISK-OFF MODE DETECTED"
**Interpretation**: Investors are seeking safety in defensive sectors while selling growth-oriented tech stocks. This often occurs during market uncertainty or ahead of economic concerns. Consider reducing exposure to high-beta stocks and possibly adding defensive names like PG, KO, or NEE.
### Example 3: Volume Spike
If you see:
- Energy: +3.20% with Volume Ratio 2.5x (highlighted in yellow)
- Summary shows: "STRONG VOLUME DETECTED"
**Interpretation**: The energy sector is making a strong move with significantly higher-than-average volume, suggesting conviction behind the price movement. This could indicate the beginning of a sustained trend in energy stocks. Consider names like XOM, CVX, and COP.

The Butterfly [theUltimator5]This is a technical analysis tool designed to automatically detect and visualize Butterfly harmonic patterns based on recent market pivot structures. This indicator uses a unique plotting and detection algorithm to find and display valid Butterfly patterns on the chart.
The indicator works in real-time and historically by identifying major swing highs and lows (pivots) based on a user-defined ZigZag length. It then evaluates whether the most recent price structure conforms to the ideal proportions of a bullish or bearish Butterfly pattern. If the ratios between price legs XA, AB, BC, and projected CD meet defined tolerances, the pattern is plotted on the chart along with a projected D point for potential reversal.
Key Features:
Automatic Pivot Detection: The script analyzes recent price action to construct a ZigZag pattern, identifying swing points as potential X, A, B, and C coordinates.
Butterfly Pattern Validation: The pattern is validated against traditional Fibonacci ratios:
--AB should be approximately 78.6% of XA.
--BC must lie between 38.2% and 88.6% of AB.
--CD is projected as a multiple of BC, with user control over the ratio (e.g., 1.618–2.24).
Bullish and Bearish Recognition: The pattern logic detects both bullish and bearish Butterflies, automatically adjusting plotting direction and color themes.
Custom Ratio Tolerance: Users can define how strictly the AB/XA and BC/AB legs must adhere to ideal ratios, using a percentage-based tolerance slider.
Fallback Detection Logic: If a new pattern is not identified in recent bars, the script performs a backward search on the last four pivots to find the most recent valid pattern.
Force Mode: A toggle allows users to force the drawing of a Butterfly pattern on the most recent pivot structure, regardless of whether the ideal Fibonacci rules are satisfied.
Dynamic Visualization:
--Clear labeling of X, A, B, C, and D points.
--Colored connecting lines and filled triangles to visualize structure.
--Optional table displaying key Fibonacci ratios and how close each leg is to ideal values.
Inputs:
Length: Controls the sensitivity of the ZigZag pivots. Smaller values result in more frequent pivots.
Tolerance (%): Adjustable threshold for acceptable deviation in AB/XA and BC/AB ratios.
CD Length Multiplier: Projects point D by multiplying the BC leg using a value between 1.618 and 2.24.
Force New Pattern: Overrides validation checks to display a Butterfly structure on recent pivots regardless of ratio accuracy.
Show Table: Enables a table showing calculated ratios and deviations from the ideal.
