Buffett Valuation Indicator [TradeDots]The Buffett Valuation Indicator (also known as the Buffett Index or Buffett Ratio) measures the ratio of the total United States stock market to GDP.
This indicator helps determine whether the valuation changes in US stocks are justified by the GDP level.
For example, the ratio is calculated based on the standard deviations from the historical trend line. If the value exceeds +2 standard deviations, it suggests that the stock market is overvalued relative to GDP, and vice versa.
This "Buffett Valuation Indicator" is an enhanced version of the original indicator. It applies a Bollinger Band over the Valuation/GDP ratio to identify overvaluation and undervaluation across different timeframes, making it efficient for use in smaller timeframes, e.g. daily or even hourly intervals.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The Buffett Valuation Indicator measures the ratio between US stock valuation and US GDP, evaluating whether stock valuations are overvalued or undervalued in GDP terms.
In this version, the total valuation of the US stock market is represented by considering the top 10 market capitalization stocks.
Users can customize this list to include other stocks for a more balanced valuation ratio. Alternatively, users may use S&P 500 ETFs, such as SPY or VOO, as inputs.
The ratio is plotted as a line chart in a separate panel below the main chart. A Bollinger Band with a default 100-period and multiples of 1 and 2 is used to identify overvaluation and undervaluation.
For instance, if the ratio line moves above the +2 standard deviation line, it indicates that stocks are overvalued, signaling a potential selling opportunity.
APPLICATION
When the indicator is applied to a chart, we observe the ratio line's movements relative to the standard deviation lines. The further the line deviates from the standard deviation lines, the more extreme the overvaluation or undervaluation.
We look for buying opportunities when the Buffett Index moves below the first and second standard deviation lines and sell opportunities when it moves above these lines. This indicator is used as a microeconomic confirmation tool, in combination with other indicators, to achieve higher win-rate setups.

Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed IchimokuThe "Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed Ichimoku" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for traders who seek a unique perspective on market dynamics. This innovative indicator not only reverses the traditional candlestick chart but also inverts the Ichimoku Cloud components, providing a comprehensive view of the market's inverted behavior.
Key Features:
Reversed Candlestick Chart:
The indicator recalculates the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) prices by reversing them along the price axis. This means that what typically would be an upward movement is displayed as a downward movement, and vice versa. This reversal provides an alternative view that can help traders identify hidden patterns and potential reversal points that might not be obvious on a standard chart.
Reversed Ichimoku Cloud:
All components of the Ichimoku Cloud indicator are recalculated based on the reversed price data. This includes:
Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): Reversed based on the highest and lowest prices over the specified period.
Kijun-sen (Base Line): Reversed in a similar manner to the Tenkan-sen, providing a medium-term perspective on price trends.
Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): Reversed to form one boundary of the Kumo (cloud), offering insight into future support and resistance levels.
Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): Reversed to form the other boundary of the Kumo, complementing Senkou Span A.
Chikou Span (Lagging Span): Reversed and plotted backward for additional confirmation of trend direction and strength.
Dynamic Price Range Calculation:
The indicator dynamically calculates the maximum and minimum prices over the last 500 bars (or the available range if fewer bars are present). This ensures that the reversal is always based on the most relevant data, providing accurate and up-to-date visualizations.
Visual Enhancements:
The reversed candlesticks are color-coded for easy interpretation: green for upward movements and red for downward movements, based on the reversed data.
The Ichimoku Cloud is filled with semi-transparent colors to clearly distinguish between bullish and bearish conditions even in its reversed state.
Debugging Aids:
For transparency and accuracy, the indicator plots the maximum and minimum price lines used for the reversal calculations. This allows users to verify the internal workings of the indicator and ensure the reversal logic is correctly applied.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for advanced traders and analysts who want to explore market behavior from an unconventional angle. By reversing both the candlestick chart and the Ichimoku Cloud, it provides a unique perspective that can uncover new trading opportunities and enhance market analysis.
Customization:
Users can customize the periods for the Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, and Senkou Span B, as well as the displacement for the Ichimoku Cloud. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to their specific trading strategies and timeframes.
Conclusion:
The "Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed Ichimoku" indicator is a powerful tool that transforms traditional market analysis. By inverting both price movements and key technical indicators, it opens up a new dimension of trading insights, helping traders to see the market in a completely different light.
Parameters:
Tenkan-sen period (default: 9)

Functionality
The indicator plots the percentage of stocks trading above their 5-day moving average for the following indices:
S&P 500
Nasdaq
Russell 2000
Dow Jones
All Markets (MMFD)
The indicator includes two horizontal lines:
Upper Threshold: Default at 85%
Lower Threshold: Default at 15%
These lines are used to identify potential overbought (above upper threshold) or oversold (below lower threshold) conditions.
Plot Shapes:
Small circles are plotted at the points where the percentage of stocks crosses the upper or lower thresholds, with colors matching the respective index.

The current percentage of stocks above the 5-day average for each index.
A warning sign (⚠️) is shown in the table if the percentage crosses the upper or lower threshold, regardless of whether the index plot is enabled or not.
Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

Macro Risk On/Off SentimentOverview
As an Ichimoku trader, I've always found it crucial to understand the broader market sentiment before entering trades. That's why I developed this Macro Risk On/Off Sentiment Indicator. It's designed to provide a comprehensive view of global market risk sentiment by analysing multiple factors across different asset classes. By combining nine key market indicators, it produces an overall risk sentiment score, giving me a clearer picture of the market's mood before I apply my Ichimoku strategy.
Rationale
While Ichimoku is powerful for identifying trends and potential entry points, I realised it doesn't always capture the broader market context. Markets don't exist in isolation—they're influenced by a myriad of factors including volatility, economic indicators, and cross-asset relationships. By creating this indicator, I aimed to fill that gap, providing myself with a macro view that complements my Ichimoku analysis.
How It Works
The indicator analyses nine different market factors:
VIX (Volatility Index): Measures market expectations of near-term volatility.
S&P 500 Performance: Represents the overall US stock market performance.
US 10-Year Treasury Yield: Indicates bond market sentiment and economic outlook.
Gold Price Movement: Often seen as a safe-haven asset.
US Dollar Index: Measures the strength of the USD against a basket of currencies.
Emerging Markets Performance: Represents risk appetite for higher-risk markets.
High Yield Bond Spreads: Indicates credit market risk sentiment.
Copper/Gold Ratio: An economic growth indicator.
Put/Call Ratio: Measures overall market sentiment based on options trading.
Each factor is assigned a score based on its z-score relative to its recent history, then weighted according to its perceived importance. The overall risk score is a weighted average of these individual scores.
How I Use It
Before applying my Ichimoku strategy, I first check this indicator to gauge the overall market sentiment:
I look at the blue line plotted on the chart, which represents the overall risk score.
I note the background colour: green for risk-on (positive score) and red for risk-off (negative score).
I check the label in the lower-left corner, which provides specific FX pair recommendations and market expectations.
In a risk-on environment (positive score):
I focus on long positions in AUD/JPY, NZD/JPY, EUR/USD, etc.
I look for short opportunities in USD/CAD, USD/NOK, etc.
I expect commodities and yields to rise
In a risk-off environment (negative score):
I focus on long positions in USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/CAD
I look for short opportunities in AUD/USD, NZD/USD, EUR/USD
I expect increased volatility and falling yields
The strength of the sentiment is reflected in how close the score is to either 1 (strong risk-on) or -1 (strong risk-off). This helps me gauge how aggressive or conservative I should be with my Ichimoku trades.
Customisation
I've designed this indicator to be flexible. You can modify it to:
Adjust the lookback period and moving average length (both default to 30)
Change the weighting of different factors in the final score calculation
Include or exclude specific factors based on your analysis needs
By combining this Macro Risk On/Off Sentiment Indicator with my Ichimoku analysis, I've found I can make more informed trading decisions, taking into account both the technical setups I see on the chart and the broader market context.
Groupings [SS]Hey everyone,
Releasing this indicator called groupings.
If you watch/read my analyses on Tradingview, you will have heard me talk about groups. Groups is something I invented. What it is, is just taking the Euclidean Distance (ED) of the previous 5 candles in a specified period (i.e. daily timeframe, weekly, 1 minute, 5 minute, etc.) and rounding the ED up to a whole number.
I have had great success in this approach because the information provided is broad enough to give leniency in interpretation but narrow enough to hone in on potential moves and target prices.
This indicator is a simplified version of how I do groupings in other software, however it is no less powerful!
What do groups tell us?
A "group" takes into account the previous 5 candles, using the ED. This gives Pinescript a general idea of what the short term trend looks like mathematically. From there, Pinescript can look for other groups that looked similar to how this current trend looks. From there, it can offer us insights into what tends to happen in candles subsequent to this group. For example, the ATR range, the close range and whether it is bearish or bullish.
And that is precisely how this indicator operates, Pinescript will calculate the group of the previous 5 canndles in the timeframe period you are looking at. It will then lookback over the designated "train" length and identify previous groups, and what happened in those groups. It looks specifically at:
- What is that average High ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average Low ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average close range associated with that group,
- What is the sentiment associated with that group.
How to use the indicator?
In terms of use, the indicator is relatively simple to use. It will plot three lines, a red for the anticipated low range, a green for the anticipated high range and purple for the opening range (where the current candle opened at).
In addition, it will plot a dot for the anticipated close area. When the dot is green, it expects a bullish close. When the dot is red, it expects a bearish close.
The indicator is going to give you a heads up as to whether we are in a bullish group, what you can anticipate the high and low range to be and where you can anticipate the close.
Of course, its not always exact, as in the image above you can see it underestimated the high range and over-estimated the low range; however, we did close within the anticipate range.
The indicator is meant to help you with your bias. I will reference this indicator on the daily timeframe at open to see what the expectations are for the day.
However, you can use it on any timeframe you wish.
Other functions:
The indicator can plot the EMA 9, 21 and 5. These are the 3 indicators I like and I find them helpful for both intraday and swing trading. However, they can be toggled off if you do not wish to view them.
In addition, the EMAs will be green if the ticker is trending above the EMA 21 (which is a critical EMA for me to determine the immediate sentiment). If the ticker is below, they will turn red.
There is also the ability to adjust the train time. The default is 1,000 candles back, but I usually have it on 1500. If you have a lot of indicators and a lot going on, on your chart, you may find that 1500 is too much and it will lag/error. That’s okay, 500 candles is sufficient and will not put a lot of stress on Pinescript.
Concluding remarks
Its overall a fairly simple concept and indicator, but it has been a neat and helpful / insightful invention. I originally developed this using R and happy to have now brought it into Pinescript.
I hope you enjoy!
Safe trades everyone!
Relative Equal Highs/LowsThis Pine script indicator is designed to create a visual representation of the relative equal highs & lows formed and automatically removed mitigated ones. Unlike indicators designed to show exact equal high/lows this indicator allows a small, configurable degree of variance between price to identify areas where price stops.
Relevance:
Relative Equal highs and lows can serve as valuable tools in identifying potential shifts in trend direction. They come into play when the price hits a support or resistance level and can’t advance further, signaling a possible reversal or pivot point. When the price sufficiently retreats from these levels, relative equal highs and lows can also indicate liquidity draws where buy/sell stops might be positioned, in accordance with SMC/ICT concepts.
How It Works:
The indicator tracks all unmitigated highs & lows within the chart’s present timeframe, limited to the user-defined max bars lookback for optimal performance. If the prices are within the configured variance they are marked as relatively equal and at that point are visually identified by a horizontal line, which connects the two (or more) points of price. Depending on configuration of the indicator, a line is rendered from the 1st, last or both values within the relatively equal range of price. A unique feature of this indicator is its ability to remove the line once the price mitigates the relative equal high/low by falling below the lows or rising above highs. This ensures the chart remains uncluttered and highlights only the currently relevant levels, setting it apart from other indicators providing similar functionality.
Configurability:
The indicator offers five style settings for complete customization of the lines that represent equal highs/lows. These settings include line style, color, and width, along with an option to extend the lines to the right of the chart for enhanced visibility of equal high/low levels. To optimize performance, the indicator allows users to configure the lookback length, determining how far back the price history should be examined. In most instances, the default setting of 500 bars proves more than adequate. Additionally, you can set thresholds via separate configs for stocks & indices that will determine if the price is relatively equal and lastly allow you to configure where the indicator line should be drawn, the first, last or all the values.
Additional notes:
This uses a different approach then my “equal highs/lows” indicator to identify price levels and because it focuses specifically on relative as opposed to exact values it is entirely different and may show “weaker”, but still important levels of liquidity. This indicator is more suited for analysis of stocks and indices or higher-timeframes where price-action rarely forms exact equal values instead more frequently forming almost equal values. My other indicator is more suited for smaller (15m or less) timeframe on indices where exact equal prices are often identical. Depending on situation different indicators should be used.

Sharpe and Sortino Ratios█ OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates the Sharpe and Sortino ratios using a chart symbol's periodic price returns, offering insights into the symbol's risk-adjusted performance. It features the option to calculate these ratios by comparing the periodic returns to a fixed annual rate of return or the returns from another selected symbol's context.
█ CONCEPTS
Returns, risk, and volatility
The return on an investment is the relative gain or loss over a period, often expressed as a percentage. Investment returns can originate from several sources, including capital gains, dividends, and interest income. Many investors seek the highest returns possible in the quest for profit. However, prudent investing and trading entails evaluating such returns against the associated risks (i.e., the uncertainty of returns and the potential for financial losses) for a clearer perspective on overall performance and sustainability.
The profitability of an investment typically comes at the cost of enduring market swings, noise, and general uncertainty. To navigate these turbulent waters, investors and portfolio managers often utilize volatility , a measure of the statistical dispersion of historical returns, as a foundational element in their risk assessments because it provides a tangible way to gauge the uncertainty in returns. High volatility suggests increased uncertainty and, consequently, higher risk, whereas low volatility suggests more stable returns with minimal fluctuations, implying lower risk. These concepts are integral components in several risk-adjusted performance metrics, including the Sharpe and Sortino ratios calculated by this indicator.
Risk-free rate
The risk-free rate represents the rate of return on a hypothetical investment carrying no risk of financial loss. This theoretical rate provides a benchmark for comparing the returns on a risky investment and evaluating whether its excess returns justify the risks. If an investment's returns are at or below the theoretical risk-free rate or the risk premium is below a desired amount, it may suggest that the returns do not compensate for the extra risk, which might be a call to reassess the investment.
Since the risk-free rate is a theoretical concept, investors often utilize proxies for the rate in practice, such as Treasury bills and other government bonds. Conventionally, analysts consider such instruments "risk-free" for a domestic holder, as they are a form of government obligation with a low perceived likelihood of default.
The average yield on short-term Treasury bills, influenced by economic conditions, monetary policies, and inflation expectations, has historically hovered around 2-3% over the long term. This range also aligns with central banks' inflation targets. As such, one may interpret a value within this range as a minimum proxy for the risk-free rate, as it may correspond to the minimum rate required to maintain purchasing power over time. This indicator uses a default value of 2% as the risk-free rate in its Sharpe and Sortino ratio calculations. Users can adjust this value from the "Risk-free rate of return" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
Sharpe and Sortino ratios
The Sharpe and Sortino ratios are two of the most widely used metrics that offer insight into an investment's risk-adjusted performance . They provide a standardized framework to compare the effectiveness of investments relative to their perceived risks. These metrics can help investors determine whether the returns justify the risks taken to achieve them, promoting more informed investment decisions.
Both metrics measure risk-adjusted performance similarly. However, they have some differences in their formulas and their interpretation:
1. Sharpe ratio
The Sharpe ratio , developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe, measures the performance of an investment compared to a theoretically risk-free asset, adjusted for the investment risk. The ratio uses the following formula:
Sharpe Ratio = (𝑅𝑎 − 𝑅𝑓) / 𝜎𝑎
Where:
• 𝑅𝑎 = Average return of the investment
• 𝑅𝑓 = Theoretical risk-free rate of return
• 𝜎𝑎 = Standard deviation of the investment's returns (volatility)
A higher Sharpe ratio indicates a more favorable risk-adjusted return, as it signifies that the investment produced higher excess returns per unit of increase in total perceived risk.
2. Sortino ratio
The Sortino ratio is a modified form of the Sharpe ratio that only considers downside volatility , i.e., the volatility of returns below the theoretical risk-free benchmark. Although it shares close similarities with the Sharpe ratio, it can produce very different values, especially when the returns do not have a symmetrical distribution, since it does not penalize upside and downside volatility equally. The ratio uses the following formula:
Sortino Ratio = (𝑅𝑎 − 𝑅𝑓) / 𝜎𝑑
Where:
• 𝑅𝑎 = Average return of the investment
• 𝑅𝑓 = Theoretical risk-free rate of return
• 𝜎𝑑 = Downside deviation (standard deviation of negative excess returns, or downside volatility)
The Sortino ratio offers an alternative perspective on an investment's return-generating efficiency since it does not consider upside volatility in its calculation. A higher Sortino ratio signifies that the investment produced higher excess returns per unit of increase in perceived downside risk.
The risk-free rate (𝑅𝑓) in the numerator of both ratio formulas acts as a baseline for comparing an investment's performance to a theoretical risk-free alternative. By subtracting the risk-free rate from the expected return (𝑅𝑎−𝑅𝑓), the numerator essentially represents the risk premium of the investment.
Comparison with another symbol
In addition to the conventional Sharpe and Sortino ratios, which compare an instrument's returns to a risk-free rate, this indicator can also compare returns to a user-specified benchmark symbol , allowing the calculation of Information ratios .
An Information ratio is a generalized form of the Sharpe ratio that compares an investment's returns to a risky benchmark , such as SPY, rather than a risk-free rate. It measures the investment's active return (the difference between its returns and the benchmark returns) relative to its tracking error (i.e., the volatility of the active return) using the following formula:
𝐼𝑅 = (𝑅𝑝 − 𝑅𝑏) / 𝑇𝐸
Where:
• 𝑅𝑝 = Average return on the portfolio or investment
• 𝑅𝑏 = Average return from the benchmark instrument
• 𝑇𝐸 = Tracking error (volatility of 𝑅𝑝 − 𝑅𝑏)
Comparing returns to a benchmark instrument rather than a theoretical risk-free rate offers unique insights into risk-adjusted performance. Higher Information ratios signify that the investment produced higher active returns per unit of increase in risk relative to the benchmark. Conventional choices for non-risk-free benchmarks include major composite indices like the S&P 500 and DJIA, as the resulting ratios can provide insight into the effectiveness of an investment relative to the broader market.
Users can enable this generalized calculation for both the Sharpe and Sortino ratios by selecting the "Benchmark symbol returns" option from the "Benchmark type" dropdown in the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
It's crucial to note that this indicator compares the charts symbol's rate of change (return) to the rate of change in the benchmark symbol. Consequently, not all symbols available on TradingView are suitable for use with these ratios due to the nature of what their values represent. For instance, using a bond as a benchmark will produce distorted results since each bar's values represent yields rather than prices, meaning it compares the rate of change in the yield. To maintain consistency and relevance in the calculated ratios, ensure the values from the compared symbols strictly represent price information.
█ FEATURES
This indicator provides traders with two widely used metrics for assessing risk-adjusted performance, generalized to allow users to compare the chart symbol's price returns to a fixed risk-free rate or the returns from another risky symbol. Below are the key features of this indicator:
Timeframe selection
The "Returns timeframe" input determines the timeframe of the calculated price returns. Users can select any value greater than or equal to the chart's timeframe. The default timeframe is "1M".
Periodic returns tracking
This indicator compounds and collects requested price returns from the selected timeframe over monthly or daily periods, similar to how the Broker Emulator works when calculating strategy performance metrics on trade data. It employs the following logic:
• Track returns over monthly periods if the chart's data spans at least two months.
• Track returns over daily periods if the chart's data spans at least two days but not two months.
• Do not track or collect returns if the data spans less than two days, as the amount of data is insufficient for meaningful ratio calculations.
The indicator uses the returns collected from up to a specified number of periods to calculate the Sharpe and Sortino ratios, depending on the available historical data. It also uses these periodic returns to calculate the average returns it displays in the Data Window.
Users can control the maximum number of periods the indicator analyzes with the "Max no. of periods used" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. The default value is 60 periods.
Benchmark specification
The "Benchmark return type" input specifies the benchmark type the indicator compares to the chart symbol's returns in the ratio calculations. It features the following two options:
• "Risk-free rate of return (%)": Compares the price returns to a user-specified annual rate of return representing a theoretical risk-free rate (e.g., 2%).
• "Benchmark symbol return": Compares the price returns to a selected benchmark symbol (e.g., "AMEX:SPY) to calculate Information ratios.
When comparing a chart symbol's returns to a specified benchmark symbol, this indicator aligns the times of data points from the benchmark with the times of data points from the chart's symbol to facilitate a fair comparison between symbols with different active sessions.
Visualization and display
• The indicator displays the periodic returns requested from the specified "Returns timeframe" in a separate pane. The plot includes dynamic colors to signify positive and negative returns.
• When the "Returns timeframe" value represents a higher timeframe, the indicator displays background highlights on the main chart pane to signify when a new value is available and whether the return is positive or negative.
• When the specified benchmark return type is a benchmark symbol, the indicator displays the requested symbol's returns in the separate pane as a gray line for visual comparison.
• Within the separate pane, the indicator displays a single-cell table that shows the base period it uses for periodic returns, the number of periods it uses in the calculation, the timeframe of the requested data, and the calculated Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
• The Data Window displays the chart symbol and benchmark returns, their periodic averages, and the Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
█ FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes the functions from our RiskMetrics library to determine the size of the periods, calculate and collect periodic returns, and compute the Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
• The `getAlignedPrices()` function in this script requests price data for the chart's symbol and a benchmark symbol with consistent time alignment by utilizing spread symbols , which helps facilitate a fair comparison between different symbol types. Retrieving prices from spreads avoids potential information loss and data misalignment that can otherwise occur when using separate requests from each symbol's context when those symbols have different sessions or data times.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedPrices()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences for fair comparison between futures instruments.
• This script uses the `changePercent()` function from our ta library to calculate the percentage changes of the requested data.
• The newly released `force_overlay` parameter in display-related functions allows indicators to display visuals on the main chart and a separate pane simultaneously. We use the parameter in this script's bgcolor() call to display background highlights on the main chart.
Look first. Then leap.

Color Intensity: Adjusts the intensity of the heatmap colors, with a default value of 25.
Lines Width: The width of the plotted lines, with a default value of 10.
Main Color: The main color used for the heatmap (default is lime).
Logic
The script iterates through the number of bins, calculates the volume for each bin between highest and lowest prices for length period, and updates the corresponding bin in the freq array if the current bar is allowed.
If the current bar is the last bar, the script plots lines and labels based on the volume distribution.
Heatmap Lines:
Solid lines colored based on the volume in each bin, using a gradient from no color to the main color based on amount of volume.
Highest Volume Line:
A dashed red line indicating the bin with the highest volume.
Labels:
Labels for the highest and lowest prices and the volume at the highest volume bin.
Plots
Highest Price Plot: Plots the highest price within the lookback period if the current bar is within the allowed range.
Lowest Price Plot: Plots the lowest price within the lookback period if the current bar is within the allowed range.
Summary
This indicator provides a visual representation of where trading volume is concentrated across different price levels, forming a heatmap. The highest volume level is highlighted with a dashed red line and a label indicating the volume at that level. This can help traders identify significant price levels where trading activity is clustered.
The "Volume Distribution (Heat Map)" indicator is a valuable tool for traders looking to enhance their technical analysis by incorporating volume data into their price charts. It provides a clear and visual representation of where market participants are most active, aiding in better-informed trading decisions.
Random Entry and ExitStrategy for Researching Whether It Is Possible to Earn Consistently by Opening Random Trades
The essence of the strategy lies in generating random entries and exits based on pseudorandom numbers. The generation of pseudorandom numbers is performed by the function random_number based on the value of the seed variable. The variables entry_threshold and exit_threshold control the frequency of entries and exits. Lower values mean less frequent trades. To increase the number of trades, increase the values of these variables.
The strategy was created as part of research into whether it is possible to earn randomly in financial markets by making chaotic actions of opening and closing trades. However, it adheres to a few rules: open only long positions (in the direction of the global trend) and do not use leverage. Positions are opened with the entire available capital.
100 generations of the strategy on the daily chart of the S&P 500 (seed 1-101) give 100% positive mathematical expectations. Similar results are observed on higher timeframes of assets that are in a global uptrend.
There is also the possibility of opening only short positions for the research. Note that the logic of the strategy is built in such a way that only one trading direction can operate simultaneously (either longs or shorts). On higher timeframes, random shorts show negative results. Positive mathematical expectations for short positions can be found on lower timeframes (1 min, etc.), where a large amount of noise is observed.

Стратегия для исследования, можно ли стабильно зарабатывать при открытии случайных сделок
Суть стратегии заключается в генерации случайных входов и выходов на основе псевдослучайных чисел. Генерация псевдослучайных чисел происходит функцией random_number на основе значения переменной seed. Переменные entry_threshold и exit_threshold контролируют частоту входов и выходов. Более низкие значения означают менее частые сделки. Для увеличения количества сделок - увеличивайте значения переменных.
Стратегия создавалась в рамках исследования вопроса, можно ли случайным образом зарабатывать на фин. рынках, совершая хаотичные открытия и закрытия сделок. НО, придерживаясь нескольких правил: открывать только длинные позиции (в сторону глобального тренда) и не использовать кредитные плечи. Открытие позиций происходит на весь доступный капитал.
100 генераций стратегии на дневном графике S&P500 (seed 1-101) дают 100% положительных математических ожиданий. Похожие результаты наблюдаются на высоких таймфреймах активов, которые глобально находятся в восходящем тренде.
Также для исследования предусмотрена возможность открытия только коротких позиций. Обратите внимание, что логика стратегии построена таким образом, что одновременно может работать только одно направление торговли (либо лонги, либо шорты). На старших таймфреймах случайные шорты показывают негативные результаты. Положительное математическое ожидание для коротких позиций можно обнаружить на младших таймфреймах (1 min, etc), где наблюдается большое количество шумов.
[EVI]EMA with Volume LevelsThe " EMA with Volume Levels" script calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing prices over a specified period and dynamically changes the color of the EMA based on volume levels. This indicator helps traders easily identify the current volume conditions. As the volume increases or decreases, the color of the EMA changes, providing a visual cue that can assist in making better trading decisions.
Features
This script offers the following features:
EMA Calculation: Calculates the Exponential Moving Average of the closing prices over the user-defined period (default is 360).
Volume Threshold Calculation: Computes the Simple Moving Average (SMA) and standard deviation of the volume over the user-defined period (default is 500), classifying the volume levels into extreme, high, medium, and low.
Dynamic EMA Color: Changes the color of the EMA dynamically based on volume levels, displaying it visually on the chart.
Chart Interpretation
EMA Color and Volume:
If the EMA line is red, it indicates very high volume.
If the EMA line is green, it indicates high volume.
If the EMA line is light green, it indicates medium volume.
If the EMA line is gray, it indicates low volume.
If the EMA line is dark gray, it indicates very low volume.
Cross Analysis:
When the EMA line and the candles are about to cross, and the volume is high (causing the EMA line to turn red), the candles are more likely to break through the 360-day EMA line.
Conversely, if the volume is low and the EMA line turns dark, the EMA line will likely act as a resistance or support level, increasing the likelihood of a bounce.
Additional Indicator:
Using the 20-day moving average along with this script can be beneficial. Combining these two moving averages can provide a more comprehensive view of market volatility.
Notes
Clean Chart: Ensure your chart is clean when using this script. Avoid including other scripts or unnecessary elements.
Additional Explanation: If further explanation is needed on how to use or understand the script, you can use drawings or images on the chart to provide additional context.

Tweaking
There are numerous ways to tweak a trading system, but chartists should avoid over-optimizing the indicator settings. In other words, don't attempt to find the perfect moving average period or crossover level. Perfection is unattainable when developing a system or trading the markets. It is important to keep the system logical and focus tweaks on other aspects, such as the actual price chart of the underlying security.
What do levels above and below 50% signify in the long-term moving average?
A move above 52.5% is deemed bullish, and below 47.5% is deemed bearish. These levels help to reduce whipsaws by using buffers for bullish and bearish thresholds.
How does the short-term moving average work to identify pullbacks or bounces?
When using a 5-day EMA, a move below 40 signals a pullback, and a move above 60 signals a bounce.
How is the reversal of pullback or bounce identified?
A move back above 50 after a pullback or below 50 after a bounce signals that the respective trend may be resuming.
How can you ensure that the uptrend has resumed?
It’s important to wait for the surge above 50 to ensure the uptrend has resumed, signaling improved breadth.
Can the system be tweaked to optimize indicator settings?
While there are various ways to tweak the system, seeking perfection through over-optimizing settings is advised against. It's crucial to keep the system logical and focus tweaks on the price chart of the underlying security.

Корректировка
Существует множество способов настроить торговую систему, но графологам следует избегать чрезмерной оптимизации настроек индикатора. Другими словами, не пытайтесь найти идеальный период скользящей средней или уровень пересечения. Совершенство недостижимо при разработке системы или торговле на рынках. Важно поддерживать логику системы и уделять особое внимание другим аспектам, таким как график фактической цены базовой ценной бумаги.
Что означают уровни выше и ниже 50% в долгосрочной скользящей средней?
Движение выше 52,5% считается бычьим, а ниже 47,5% - медвежьим. Эти уровни помогают снизить риски, используя буферы для бычьих и медвежьих порогов.
Как краткосрочная скользящая средняя помогает идентифицировать откаты или отскоки?
При использовании 5-дневной ЕМА движение ниже 40 указывает на откат, а движение выше 60 указывает на отскок.
Как определяется разворот отката или отскока?
Движение выше 50 после отката или ниже 50 после отскока сигнализирует о возможном возобновлении соответствующего тренда.
Как вы можете гарантировать, что восходящий тренд возобновился?
Важно дождаться скачка выше 50, чтобы убедиться в возобновлении восходящего тренда, сигнализирующего о расширении диапазона.
Можно ли настроить систему для оптимизации настроек индикатора?
Хотя существуют различные способы настройки системы, не рекомендуется стремиться к совершенству с помощью чрезмерной оптимизации настроек. Крайне важно сохранить логичность системы и сфокусировать изменения на ценовом графике базовой ценной бумаги.
TASC 2024.06 REIT ETF Trading System█ OVERVIEW
This strategy script demonstrates the application of the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) ETF trading system presented in the article by Markos Katsanos titled "Is The Price REIT?" from TASC's June 2024 edition of Traders' Tips .
█ CONCEPTS
REIT stocks and ETFs offer a simplified, diversified approach to real estate investment. They exhibit sensitivity to interest rates, often moving inversely to interest rate and treasury yield changes. Markos Katsanos explores this relationship and the correlation of prices with the broader market to develop a trading strategy for REIT ETFs.
The script employs Bollinger Bands and Donchian channel indicators to identify oversold conditions and trends in REIT ETFs. It incorporates the 10-year treasury yield index (TNX) as a proxy for interest rates and the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as a benchmark for the overall market. The system filters trade entries based on their behavior and correlation with the REIT ETF price.
█ CALCULATIONS
The strategy initiates long entries (buy signals) under two conditions:
1. Oversold condition
The weekly ETF low price dips below the 15-week Bollinger Band bottom, the closing price is above the value by at least 0.2 * ATR ( Average True Range ), and the price exceeds the week's median.
Either of the following:
– The TNX index is down over 15% from its 25-week high, and its correlation with the ETF price is less than 0.3.
– The yield is below 2%.
2. Uptrend
The weekly ETF price crosses above the previous week's 30-week Donchian channel high.
The SPY ETF is above its 20-week moving average.
Either of the following:
– Over ten weeks have passed since the TNX index was at its 30-week high.
– The correlation between the TNX value and the ETF price exceeds 0.3.
– The yield is below 2%.
The strategy also includes three exit (sell) rules:
1. Trailing (Chandelier) stop
The weekly close drops below the highest close over the last five weeks by over 1.5 * ATR.
The TNX value rises over the latest 25 weeks, with a yield exceeding 4%, or its value surges over 15% above the 25-week low.
2. Stop-loss
The ETF's price declines by at least 8% of the previous week's close and falls below the 30-week moving average.
The SPY price is down by at least 8%, or its correlation with the ETF's price is negative.
3. Overbought condition
The ETF's value rises above the 100-week low by over 50%.
The ETF's price falls over 1.5 * ATR below the 3-week high.
The ETF's 10-week Stochastic indicator exceeds 90 within the last three weeks.
█ DISCLAIMER
This strategy script educates users on the system outlined by the TASC article. However, note that its default properties might not fully represent real-world trading conditions for an individual. By default, it uses 10% of equity as the order size and a slippage amount of 5 ticks. Traders should adjust these settings and the commission amount when using this script. Additionally, since this strategy utilizes compound conditions on weekly data to trigger orders, it will generate significantly fewer trades than other, higher-frequency strategies.
Price and Volume Breakout Buy Strategy [TradeDots]The "Price and Volume Breakout Buy Strategy" is a trading strategy designed to identify buying opportunities by detecting concurrent price and volume breakouts over a specified range of candlesticks.
This strategy is optimized for assets demonstrating high volatility and significant momentum spikes.
HOW IT WORKS
The strategy first takes the specific number of candlesticks as the examination window for both price and volume.
These values are used as benchmarks to identify breakout conditions.
A trade is initiated when both the closing price and the trading volume surpass the maximum values observed within the predetermined window.
Price must be above a designated moving average, serving as the trend indicator, ensuring that all trades align with the prevailing market trend.
APPLICATION
This strategy is particularly effective for highly volatile assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, capitalizing on the cues from sudden price and volume breakouts indicative of significant market movement, often driven by market smart money traders.
However, for broader markets like the S&P 500, this strategy may be less effective due to less pronounced volume and price shifts compared to the cryptocurrency markets.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 70%
Backtest result sometimes gives fewer than 100 trades under certain higher timeframes, as most trades tend to have a long holding period. Entry conditions are also more stringent, which, combined with the relatively brief history of cryptocurrencies, results in fewer trades on longer timeframes.
Users are advised to adjust and personalize this trading strategy to better match their individual trading preferences and style.
RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading entails substantial risk, and most day traders incur losses. All content, tools, scripts, articles, and education provided by TradeDots serve purely informational and educational purposes. Past performances are not definitive predictors of future results.
Relative Strength Universal
Relative strength is a ratio between two assets, generally it is a stock and a market average (index). RS implementation details are explained here .
This script automatically decides benchmark index for RS calculation based on market cap input values and input benchmark indices values.
Relative strength calculation:
"To calculate the relative strength of a particular stock, divide the percentage change over some time period by the percentage change of a particular index over the same time period". This indicator value oscillates around zero. If the value is greater than zero, the investment has been relatively strong during the selected period; if the value is less than zero, the investment has been relatively weak.
In this script, You can input market cap values and all are editable fields. If company market cap value is grater than 75000(Default value) then stock value will be compared with Nifty index. If company market cap is between 75000 and 25000 then stock value will be compared with midcap 150 to calculate RS. If marketcap is greater than 5000 and less than 25000 then RS will be calculated based on smallcap250. If marketcap is less than 5000 and greater than 500 then it will be compared with NIFTY_MICROCAP250
NYSE TickThe NYSE Tick indicator is a market breadth indicator used to determine short-term bullish or bearish market sentiment. The NYSE Tick index compares the number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange that are ticking up to the number of stocks ticking down at a specific moment in time. When the NYSE Tick is hovering around the zero line, roughly the same number of stocks are ticking up as are ticking down. When the overall market is rising it will usually present on the NYSE Tick as a rise in value that will generally stay mostly above the zero line for a period of time. The opposite is true when the general market is falling and can be seen as the NYSE Tick staying mostly below the zero line. This information can be very helpful for a short-term day trader who trades a market that also follows many of these same stocks, like the E-Mini S&P 500 Futures (ES), for example. While the index can theoretically rise or fall to over ±2,000 if all stocks on the NYSE are ticking up or down at the same time, it’s generally considered an extreme movement if the NYSE Tick is ±1,000. For this reason, the indicator has default reference lines at ±1,000 and halfway marks at ±500. In order to partially smooth out the movement and make movement trends more easily read, the indicator plots the values using Heikin Ashi candles instead of the standard bars or candlesticks. The price-line value displayed is an accurate live value, however, rather than the OHLC average value of a standard Heikin Ashi candle. Since the standard hours for the NYSE are Monday – Friday, 09:30 – 16:00 EST, the indicator only plots bars during this time.
Trend ChameleonThe Trend Chameleon, originally developed by Alex Cole for the Bloomberg Terminal, is a powerful tool designed to simplify trend identification and illuminate potential trading opportunities. It leverages a clear visual display to decode market movements, making it useful for traders of all experience levels.
🟠 Overview
Here's an illustration of how the indicator performs for ES (S&P 500 E-mini Future) on the daily chart:
Trend Chameleon employs a color-coded candle scheme, with each color corresponding to a specific level of trend strength. Purple candles represent the strongest bearish trends, while teal candles signal the most potent bullish momentum. Between these extremes lie red, yellow, and green candles, providing a spectrum of trend direction. This intuitive color coding allows you to quickly grasp the prevailing market sentiment and identify potential entry and exit points for your trades.
🟠 Algorithm
Under the hood, Trend Chameleon evaluates four conditions to provide a directional strength score:
1. Whether the MACD value is positive.
2. Whether the SMA 50 of open prices is above the SMA 50 of the close prices.
3. Whether the ROC indicator value is positive.
4. Whether the current close price is above the SMA 50.
The total number of fulfilled conditions (0 to 4) determines the trend strength, with 0 indicating the most bearish and 4 signifying the strongest bullish trend. This score is then visually represented by coloring the bars on the chart.
🟠 Note
If you don't see the bars being properly colored after adding this indicator, please ensure Trend Chameleon is positioned on top of all other indicators in your chart. This can be easily achieved by hovering over the indicator's name, clicking the three dots, selecting "Visual Order," and then choosing "Bring to front."
Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) [LuxAlgo]The Swing Failure Pattern indicator highlights Swing Failure Patterns (SFP) on the user chart, a pattern occurring during liquidity generation from significant market participants.
A Confirmation level used to confirm a trend reversal is also included. Users can additionally filter out SFP based on a set Volume % Threshold .
🔶 USAGE
Swing failure patterns occur when candle wicks exceed (above/below) a recent swing level but close back below/above it, and occur from more significant market participants engineering liquidity. This pattern can be indicative of a potential trend reversal.
A label and an accentuated wick line highlight the SFP (both can be disabled).
Using a higher "Swings" period will not return different SFP but will however potentially reduce their detection rate.
🔹 Confirmation Level
The confirmation level is the highest point between the previous swing and SFP for a bullish SFP, and the lowest point for a bearish SFP. This level allows confirming a trend reversal after an SFP once the price breaks it.
A small triangle will be displayed when the price closes beyond the confirmation level.
A more reactive and contrarian approach could use the SFP as an entry point, and the confirmation level for taking (partial) profit, or stop loss. The example below shows a possible scenario:
🔹 Volume % Threshold
During the occurrence of an SFP, the Volume % Threshold option allows comparing the cumulative volume outside the Swing level to the total volume of the candle. The following options are included:
Volume outside swing < Threshold: Volume outside the Swing level needs to be lower than x % of total candle volume. Prevent excessive liquidity generation.
Volume outside swing > Threshold: Volume outside the Swing level needs to be higher than x % of total candle volume. Requires more significant liquidity to be generated.
None: No extra filter is applied
Note that in the above case, the left SFP is no longer highlighted because the volume above the swing level was higher than the 25% threshold of the total volume.
When we change the setting to "Volume outside swing > Threshold", we get the reversed situation.
The "Volume outside Swing level" is obtained using intrabar - Lower TimeFrame (LTF) data.
At the intrabar (LTF) level, there are a maximum of 100K bars available. When using the Volume % Threshold filter, a vertical line will highlight the maximum period during which intrabars are available.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 LTF Settings
When 'Auto' is enabled (Settings, LTF), the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3-minute LTF
1500 (default): 1-minute LTF
5000: 30 seconds LTF (1 minute if Premium is disabled)
The concerning LTF can be seen at the right-top (default) corner.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
Bullish SFP: enable/disable bullish Swing Failure Patterns.
Bearish SFP: enable/disable bearish Swing Failure Patterns.
🔹 Volume Validation
Validation:
Volume outside swing < Threshold: The volume outside the swing level needs to be lower than x % of the total volume.
Volume outside swing > Threshold: The volume outside the swing level needs to be higher than x % of the total volume.
None: No extra validation is applied.
Volume % Threshold: % of total volume as threshold.

Volume Delta Candles [LuxAlgo]Volume Delta Candles provides insights about Intrabar trading activity in an easy-to-interpret manner. Lower timeframe or real-time data is used for displaying Volume Delta percentage against the total volume as a coloured bar part.
The script also highlights the intrabar price with the maximum trading activity, as well as complementary information.
🔶 USAGE
The tool focuses on intrabar volume to provide more information about the trading activity associated with a candle, without having to use an external volume indicator.
Each indicator components is further explained below:
🔹 Volume Delta
The volume delta is obtained by the difference between buy volume and sell volume, where buy volume is the volume associated with a bullish intrabar candle, and sell volume with a bearish intrabar candle.
Positive volume delta is displayed with a green candle area, while negative delta is displayed with a red candle area.
🔹 Bar Coloring
The script displays VD as a percentage of the whole, or from the candle half, depending on the setting ' Display '.
Bars can be coloured as follows:
Full (100%) when Display is set at ' Full Bar '
Half (50% or 100% of half a bar) when Display is set at ' Half Bar '
A negative VD (more bearish than bullish volume) will fill the bar from the top (or centre) of the bar towards the bottom, and a positive VD will fill a bar from the bottom (or centre) of the bar towards the top.
A negative VD on a green candle will show a red-coloured VD against a green-bordered candle. On the other hand, a positive VD on a red candle will show a green-coloured VD against a red-bordered candle.
Colours for VD sentiment opposite to the candle sentiment can be set differently if desired.
🔹 Highest Volume Price Level
The script displays a white (black on light mode) line highlighting the intrabar price level with the highest volume.
When ' Show Previous Max Volume Price ' is checked, a white (black on light mode) dot is displayed 1 bar to the right.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Tick/LTF data
The above example used Lower TimeFrame (LTF) data.
The following example uses real-time tick data ( Settings -> Data From )
Both options, LTF or tick data, will show a vertical dotted line where the data starts.
🔹 LTF settings
When ' Data from ' LTF is chosen and ' Auto ' enabled, the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF
1500 (default): 1 minute LTF
5000: 30 seconds LTF (1 minute if Premium is disabled)
🔹 Notes
Different LTFs give different data, which means different results; this doesn't mean it isn't correct; they are just different data sets.
(LTF is displayed at the top right corner)
To ensure maximum visibility of values, we recommend using Bars from the Bar's style menu.
