Breadth Thrust Strategy with Volatility Stop-LossThe "Breadth Thrust Strategy with Volatility Stop-Loss" is a trading strategy designed to capitalize on market momentum while managing risk through volatility-based stop-losses. Here's a detailed breakdown of the strategy:
Strategy Overview:
Market Breadth Analysis: The strategy uses the "Breadth Thrust Indicator," which evaluates market momentum by calculating the ratio of advancing stocks to the total number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This indicator helps identify bullish market conditions. An optional feature allows for the inclusion of volume data in this calculation, enhancing the signal's robustness.
Signal Generation: A long position is triggered when the smoothed breadth ratio (or the combined breadth and volume ratio) crosses above a specified low threshold (e.g., 0.4). This crossover indicates a potential shift towards positive market momentum.
Key Parameters:
Smoothing Length (length): Defines the period over which the breadth or combined ratio is smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise and highlight the underlying trend.
Low Threshold (threshold_low): The level below which the smoothed ratio must fall before crossing back above to trigger a long signal.
Hold Periods (hold_periods): The minimum number of periods for which the position will be held once entered, ensuring the strategy captures a meaningful move.
Volatility Multiplier (volatility_multiplier): A multiplier applied to the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the distance of the stop-loss from the entry price, which adjusts according to market volatility.
Trade Management:
Entry Signal: The strategy enters a long position when the smoothed combined ratio crosses above the low threshold, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
ATR-Based Stop-Loss: Upon entering a trade, the strategy calculates a stop-loss level based on the ATR, which measures market volatility. The stop-loss is set at a distance from the entry price, determined by multiplying the ATR by the specified volatility multiplier. This adaptive stop-loss mechanism helps protect the position from adverse market moves.
Stop-Loss Adjustment: While the position is open, the stop-loss level is dynamically updated, ensuring it never decreases (trailing stop-loss effect) but can be adjusted upwards to reflect the latest price action relative to volatility.
Position Closure: The position is closed if:
The market price falls to or below the stop-loss level.
The position has been held for the specified number of periods (hold_periods), after which it is automatically closed.
Additional Settings:
Initial Capital: The strategy starts with an initial capital of $10,000.
Commissions and Slippage: Each trade incurs a commission of $5 per order, and slippage is accounted for at $1 per trade.
Background Highlighting: The chart background turns green when a position is open, providing a clear visual indication of the active trade.
This strategy is designed to identify and capitalize on upward momentum in the market while employing a volatility-adjusted stop-loss to manage risk. By combining market breadth analysis with volatility-based stop-losses, the strategy aims to balance profit potential with protection against sudden market reversals.

Whaley Breadth Thrust IndicatorThe Whaley Breadth Thrust Indicator (WBT) is a momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify the strength of market trends. It measures the market's breadth by comparing advancing stocks to declining stocks, providing insights into whether a market is in a bullish, neutral, or bearish state. This script calculates the indicator based on the advancing and declining U.S. stocks; however, it can be expanded to other markets as well.
Breadth Thrust Ratio (BTR):
This is calculated as the ratio of advancing stocks to the total number of advancing and declining stocks.
Formula: BTR = Advances / (Advances + Declines + small_offset), where the small offset prevents division errors.
Smoothing:
The BTR is smoothed using a 3-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to reduce noise and highlight significant trends.
Thresholds:
0.30: Indicates a strongly bearish market.
0.40: A bearish threshold; crossing below suggests bearish momentum.
0.60: A bullish threshold; crossing above suggests bullish momentum.
0.70: Indicates a strongly bullish market.
MM Market Range MapWhat this script does:
The purpose of this script is to help traders identify when the major sectors of the market are moving in one direction - also known as a "market trend day".
How this script works:
The indicator uses QQQ, SMH and NVDA to represent the technology side of the market, and XLF, XLV & IWM to represent everything else. It tracks where price is within the day's range for each of those symbols, and presents that data in a table and in also in a dot-based "map".
How to use this script:
Using the dot-based map, you can see if all symbols were ever at the highs or lows of their range together. You can use this information to decide which direction you should be trading (ie. with trend). For example, in order for there to be healthy bullish moves in the market, you would want this indicator to show you that all sectors are at the highs or trending in that direction.
What makes this script original:
Most indicators and even the TradingView watchlist measure the percent changed on the day from the closing price of a stock on the prior trading day, essentially telling you what sentiment is since yesterday. This script tells you the sentiment today since it is priced from the opening print. It also provides the map so you can see if they were ever at the highs or lows together throughout the day, which can be an early indicator that the market will trend.

Normalized and Smoothed Cumulative Delta for Top 5 NASDAQ StocksThis script is designed to create a TradingView indicator called **"Normalized and Smoothed Cumulative Delta for Top 5 NASDAQ Stocks."** The purpose of this indicator is to track and visualize the cumulative price delta (the change in price from one period to the next) for the top five NASDAQ stocks: Apple Inc. (AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), and Meta Platforms Inc. (FB).
### Key Features of the Script:
1. **Ticker Selection**:
- The script focuses on the top five NASDAQ stocks by automatically setting their tickers.
2. **Price Data Retrieval**:
- It fetches the closing prices for each of these stocks using the `request.security` function for the current timeframe.
3. **Delta Calculation**:
- The script calculates the delta for each stock, which is simply the difference between the current closing price and the previous closing price.
4. **Cumulative Delta Calculation**:
- It calculates the cumulative delta for each stock by adding the current delta to the previous cumulative delta. This helps track the total change in price over time.
5. **Summing and Smoothing**:
- The cumulative deltas for all five stocks are summed together.
- The script then applies an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a period of 5 to smooth the summed cumulative delta, making the indicator less sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
6. **Normalization**:
- To ensure the cumulative delta is easy to interpret, the script normalizes it to a range of 0 to 1. This is done by tracking the minimum and maximum values of the smoothed cumulative delta and scaling the data accordingly.
7. **Visualization**:
- The normalized cumulative delta is plotted as a smooth line, allowing users to see the overall trend of the cumulative price changes for the top five NASDAQ stocks.
- A horizontal line is added at 0.5, serving as a midline reference, which can help traders quickly assess whether the normalized cumulative delta is above or below its midpoint.
### Usage:
This indicator is particularly useful for traders and investors who want to monitor the aggregated price movements of the top NASDAQ stocks, providing a high-level view of market sentiment and trends. By smoothing and normalizing the data, it offers a clear and concise visualization that can be used to identify potential market turning points or confirm ongoing trends.
Market Internal Pivots by SyntaxGeekThis indicator combines simple pivot detection with market breadth ratios.
The thought was to show market breadth strength or weakness where price was making potential pivots.
Lookback can be adjusted and currently it supports NYSE and NASDAQ market breadth.
Configuration is limited given the simplicity but live breadth printout can be displayed at current candle.
Max label count is at 500 but the indicator makes use of the visible chart library and will redraw old pivot labels when scrolling back, up to 500.
Considering that market breadth data is only available during RTH, do not expect data during ETH sessions. I've only tested this up to 1hr timeframe so I can't guarantee higher timeframes will present correctly.
Feel free to leave feedback, happy trading!
Support ResistanceThis indicator was written in pine script code, inspired by the L3 Banker Fund Flow Trend Oscillator indicator whose link I gave below.
This indicator is designed to track the flow of banker funds in the market by analyzing price movements and generating entry signals based on specific criteria. It uses a combination of custom functions and moving averages to identify potential points where bankers might be entering the market.
Key Features:
Fund Flow Trend Calculation:
The indicator calculates the fund flow trend using a combination of weighted moving averages. This helps in identifying the overall trend and potential reversals.
Bull Bear Line:
A key component of the indicator is the Bull Bear Line, which is derived from the typical price, lowest low, and highest high over a specified period. This line helps in determining the strength and direction of the market trend.
Banker Entry Signal:
The indicator generates a banker entry signal when the fund flow trend crosses above the Bull Bear Line, and the Bull Bear Line is below 25. This condition is indicative of a potential entry point for bankers.
Visual Representation:
Entry prices and indices for the last five banker entry signals are stored and used to draw dashed lines on the chart, representing these significant levels.
A dynamic rectangle is drawn between the last two entry prices, which extends to the right until the specified conditions are met. The rectangle's color changes from red to green if the price crosses above it by at least one bar, indicating a potential support zone.
Usage:
Trend Identification:
Use the fund flow trend and Bull Bear Line to identify the prevailing market trend and potential reversal points.
Entry Signals:
Pay attention to the banker entry signals as potential points of entry based on institutional fund flow.
Support and Resistance:
The dynamic rectangle can act as a support zone. Monitor price action relative to this rectangle for potential trading opportunities.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to align their trades with the movements of large institutional players. By understanding and tracking the flow of banker funds, traders can gain valuable insights into market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.

Enhanced Alligator Trend Indicator By Er. Parvez HaleemPurpose: The Enhanced Alligator Trend Indicator aims to identify strong and reliable buy and sell signals on the price chart by combining the Alligator Indicator with trend strength and volume filters. It is specifically designed for use on a 1-minute chart to enhance precision in short-term trading decisions.
Components:
Alligator Indicator:
Jaw Line (Blue): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over a specified period (default: 13 bars). Represents the long-term trend.
Teeth Line (Red): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over a shorter period (default: 8 bars). Represents the medium-term trend.
Lips Line (Green): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over an even shorter period (default: 5 bars). Represents the short-term trend.
Trend Strength Indicator:
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Measures the strength of the current trend, using a default period of 14 bars. RSI values above 50 suggest a bullish trend, while values below 50 suggest a bearish trend.
Volume Filter:
Volume Threshold: Filters signals based on trading volume to ensure they only appear when volume exceeds a specified threshold (default: 100,000). This helps to avoid low-volume noise and enhance signal reliability.
Additional Trend Filters:
Short-Term SMA: A simple moving average with a default period of 20 bars, used to assess short-term trend direction.
Long-Term SMA: A simple moving average with a default period of 50 bars, used to assess long-term trend direction.
SMA Crossover: A bullish crossover occurs when the short-term SMA is above the long-term SMA, and a bearish crossover occurs when the short-term SMA is below the long-term SMA.
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: Generated when:
The Lips line is above the Teeth line, and the Teeth line is above the Jaw line (indicating a bullish alignment in the Alligator Indicator).
The RSI is above 50 (indicating strong bullish trend strength).
The trading volume exceeds the specified volume threshold (indicating sufficient trading activity).
The short-term SMA is above the long-term SMA (confirming a bullish trend).
Sell Signal: Generated when:
The Lips line is below the Teeth line, and the Teeth line is below the Jaw line (indicating a bearish alignment in the Alligator Indicator).
The RSI is below 50 (indicating strong bearish trend strength).
The trading volume exceeds the specified volume threshold (indicating sufficient trading activity).
The short-term SMA is below the long-term SMA (confirming a bearish trend).
Plotting on Chart:
Alligator Lines: The Jaw, Teeth, and Lips lines are plotted directly on the price chart in blue, red, and green, respectively, to indicate the long-term, medium-term, and short-term trends.
Buy/Sell Signals: Buy signals are plotted below the price bars in green, and sell signals are plotted above the price bars in red. These signals are marked with labels ("BUY" and "SELL") to clearly indicate trading opportunities.
Debugging: RSI and SMA lines are plotted but hidden by default. They can be revealed for verification purposes to ensure the correctness of the indicator’s calculations.
Alerts:
Buy Alert: Triggers when a buy signal condition is met, sending a notification that a buy opportunity has been identified.
Sell Alert: Triggers when a sell signal condition is met, sending a notification that a sell opportunity has been identified.
High Low Lines (500 candle 5min)This TradingView script is designed to visualize the highest high and the lowest low from the previous 576 candles on the chart. It draws horizontal lines representing these values and updates them at a specific time each day.
Prospect Theory IndicatorProspect Theory Indicator
This indicator is designed based on Prospect Theory, which was developed by Nobel laureates Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Prospect Theory explains how people make decisions involving risk and uncertainty, highlighting their tendency to value potential losses more than equivalent gains and their focus on relative gains and losses rather than absolute outcomes.
Features:
1. Reference Points: The indicator calculates and displays the highest and lowest prices over a specified period (default is 14 periods). These are the reference points used to evaluate current price movements.
2. Risk/Reward Ratio: It calculates the risk/reward ratio by comparing the current price to the reference points. The risk is defined as the distance to the lowest point, and the reward as the distance to the highest point.
3. Visual Indicators:
• Green Line: Indicates the highest reference point (High Reference Point).
• Red Line: Indicates the lowest reference point (Low Reference Point).
• Green Triangle: Displays when the reward outweighs the risk, suggesting a favorable condition for entering a trade.
• Red Triangle: Displays when the risk outweighs the reward, suggesting a cautious approach.
4. Labels: Provides real-time labels showing the risk/reward ratio, and marks the current conditions as “High Risk” or “High Reward” based on the calculated ratio.
Usage:
• Entry Signals: Use green triangles for potential buy entries when the reward is higher than the risk.
• Exit Signals: Use red triangles as a signal to review your positions, as the risk has become higher than the reward.
• Risk Management: Continuously monitor the risk/reward ratio to maintain optimal risk management in your trading strategy.
This indicator helps traders make more informed and objective decisions, mitigating the emotional biases described by Prospect Theory.
Volume Insignts AnalyzerDescription:
The Volume Insight Analyzer is an advanced Pine Script designed for traders who want a comprehensive view of volume dynamics on their charts. This script combines multiple volume-based indicators to help identify key trading opportunities, including significant volume days, volume dry-ups, and pocket pivots.
Key Features:
VDU (Volume Dry-Up) Detection: Automatically identifies and marks days when the volume is significantly below its moving average, helping to spot potential breakout or breakdown points. Customizable volume thresholds allow for tailored analysis based on your trading strategy. The Volume Dry-Up label appears when the volume is substantially below its average level and the price is near a key moving average. This condition indicates a period of equilibrium between supply and demand, suggesting a potential low-risk entry point for traders.
Pocket Pivot Analysis using 5 and 10 Length Pocket Pivots: Highlights days with exceptionally high volume compared to recent history, indicating potential pocket pivots. Visual markers on the chart and volume bars color-coded for 5 and 10-day lengths. Pocket pivot points are identified when the volume on a given day exceeds the maximum volume observed over the past several days. Specifically, a 5-day pocket pivot point is marked when today's volume surpasses the highest selling volume of the last 5 days. A cluster of 5-day pocket pivot points within a base is a strong indicator of stock strength. Similarly, a 10-day pocket pivot point following a Volume Dry-Up (VDU) suggests a potential entry opportunity. Moreover, a pre-existing cluster of 5-day pocket pivot points before a 10-day pocket pivot point provides greater conviction in the trade.
Volume Moving Averages: Set different lengths for primary and secondary moving averages to track volume trends over daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. Options to display moving average lines on the volume chart.
Volume Visualization:
a. Major and Minor Volume Bars: Option to display bars that are either above or below average volume levels. Adjustable settings to show or hide these bars based on user preference.
b. Volume Bar Coloring: Volume bars are color-coded based on significant volume thresholds, including green for bullish signals, red for bearish signals, and orange for volume dry-ups.
Volume Metrics Table: A customizable table that displays real-time volume metrics including Relative Volume (RVOL), Turnover, and the number of high volume days. The table can be oriented horizontally or vertically and styled according to your theme preferences.
Visual Indicators:
a) Volume Dry-Up (VDU) Labels: Clearly marked VDU events with textual annotations on the chart.
b) Bullish and Bearish Arrows: Arrows indicating potential bullish or bearish closes based on volume analysis, enhancing decision-making.
Customization Options:
a) Dark and Light Theme Support: Toggle between dark and light themes to match your chart settings.
b) Adjustable Parameters: Easily configure input settings such as volume thresholds, MA lengths, and table display options to fit your trading style.
How to Use:
Set Parameters: Adjust the script settings such as volume thresholds, moving average lengths, and display preferences according to your analysis needs.
Analyze Volume Patterns: Use the indicators and visual markers provided by the script to identify significant volume patterns and potential trading signals.
Monitor Metrics: Refer to the volume metrics table for a quick overview of key volume-related statistics and trends.
Make Informed Decisions: Utilize the visual cues and volume data provided by the script to enhance your trading strategy and make more informed decisions.

S&P Short-Range Oscillator**SHOULD BE USED ON THE S&P 500 ONLY**
The S&P Short-Range Oscillator (SRO), inspired by the principles of Jim Cramer's oscillator, is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in the stock market, specifically for the S&P 500 index. The SRO combines several market indicators to provide a normalized measure of market sentiment, assisting traders in making informed decisions.
The SRO utilizes two simple moving averages (SMAs) of different lengths: a 5-day SMA and a 10-day SMA. It also incorporates the daily price change and market breadth (the net change of closing prices). The 5-day and 10-day SMAs are calculated based on the closing prices. The daily price change is determined by subtracting the opening price from the closing price. Market breadth is calculated as the difference between the current closing price and the previous closing price.
The raw value of the oscillator, referred to as SRO Raw, is the sum of the daily price change, the 5-day SMA, the 10-day SMA, and the market breadth. This raw value is then normalized using its mean and standard deviation over a 20-day period, ensuring that the oscillator is centered and maintains a consistent scale. Finally, the normalized value is scaled to fit within the range of -15 to 15.
When interpreting the SRO, a value below -5 indicates that the market is potentially oversold, suggesting it might be a good time to start buying stocks as the market could be poised for a rebound. Conversely, a value above 5 suggests that the market is potentially overbought. In this situation, it may be prudent to hold on to existing positions or consider selling if you have substantial gains.
The SRO is visually represented as a blue line on a chart, making it easy to track its movements. Red and green horizontal lines mark the overbought (5) and oversold (-5) levels, respectively. Additionally, the background color changes to light red when the oscillator is overbought and light green when it is oversold, providing a clear visual cue.
By incorporating the S&P Short-Range Oscillator into your trading strategy, you can gain valuable insights into market conditions and make more informed decisions about when to buy, sell, or hold your stocks. However, always consider other market factors and perform your own analysis before making any trading decisions.
The S&P Short-Range Oscillator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gain insights into market sentiment. It provides clear buy and sell signals through its combination of multiple indicators and normalization process. However, traders should be aware of its lagging nature and potential complexity, and use it in conjunction with other analysis methods for the best results.
Disclaimer
The S&P Short-Range Oscillator is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves risk, and you should conduct your own research or consult a financial advisor before making investment decisions. The author is not responsible for any losses incurred from using this indicator. Use at your own risk.
Stocks Above 5-Day Average (FOMO)Overview
Inspired by Matt Carusos's FOMO indicator, this breadth indicator is designed to provide a visual representation of the percentage of stocks within major indices that are trading above their 5-day moving average.
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.
Table:
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.
Six PillarsGeneral Overview
The "Six Pillars" indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that combines six different technical analysis methods to provide a holistic view of market conditions.
These six pillars are:
Trend
Momentum
Directional Movement (DM)
Stochastic
Fractal
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
The indicator calculates the state of each pillar and presents them in an easy-to-read table format. It also compares the current timeframe with a user-defined comparison timeframe to offer a multi-timeframe analysis.
A key feature of this indicator is the Confluence Strength meter. This unique metric quantifies the overall agreement between the six pillars across both timeframes, providing a score out of 100. A higher score indicates stronger agreement among the pillars, suggesting a more reliable trading signal.
I also included a visual cue in the form of candle coloring. When all six pillars agree on a bullish or bearish direction, the candle is colored green or red, respectively. This feature allows traders to quickly identify potential high-probability trade setups.
The Six Pillars indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes, offering a comparison between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe. This multi-timeframe analysis provides traders with a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
Origin and Inspiration
The Six Pillars indicator was inspired by the work of Dr. Barry Burns, author of "Trend Trading for Dummies" and his concept of "5 energies." (Trend, Momentum, Cycle, Support/Resistance, Scale) I was intrigued by Dr. Burns' approach to analyzing market dynamics and decided to put my own twist upon his ideas.
Comparing the Six Pillars to Dr. Burns' 5 energies, you'll notice I kept Trend and Momentum, but I swapped out Cycle, Support/Resistance, and Scale for Directional Movement, Stochastic, Fractal, and On-Balance Volume. These changes give you a more dynamic view of market strength, potential reversals, and volume confirmation all in one package.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
The standout feature of the Six Pillars indicator is its Confluence Strength meter. This feature calculates the overall agreement between the six pillars, providing traders with a clear, numerical representation of signal strength.
The strength is calculated by considering the state of each pillar in both the current and comparison timeframes, resulting in a score out of 100.
Here's how it calculates the strength:
It considers the state of each pillar in both the current timeframe and the comparison timeframe.
For each pillar, the absolute value of its state is taken. This means that both strongly bullish (2) and strongly bearish (-2) states contribute equally to the strength.
The absolute values for all six pillars are summed up for both timeframes, resulting in two sums: current_sum and alternate_sum.
These sums are then added together to get a total_sum.
The total_sum is divided by 24 (the maximum possible sum if all pillars were at their strongest states in both timeframes) and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
The result is rounded to the nearest integer and capped at a minimum of 1.
This calculation method ensures that the Confluence Strength meter takes into account not only the current timeframe but also the comparison timeframe, providing a more robust measure of overall market sentiment. The resulting score, ranging from 1 to 100, gives traders a clear and intuitive measure of how strongly the pillars agree, with higher scores indicating stronger potential signals.
This approach to measuring signal strength is unique in that it doesn't just rely on a single aspect of price action or volume. Instead, it takes into account multiple factors, providing a more robust and reliable indication of potential market moves. The higher the Confluence Strength score, the more confident traders can be in the signal.
The Confluence Strength meter helps traders in several ways:
It provides a quick and easy way to gauge the overall market sentiment.
It helps prioritize potential trades by identifying the strongest signals.
It can be used as a filter to avoid weaker setups and focus on high-probability trades.
It offers an additional layer of confirmation for other trading strategies or indicators.
By combining the Six Pillars analysis with the Confluence Strength meter, I've created a powerful tool that not only identifies potential trading opportunities but also quantifies their strength, giving traders a significant edge in their decision-making process.
How the Pillars Work (What Determines Bullish or Bearish)
While developing this indicator, I selected and configured six key components that work together to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions. Each pillar is set up to complement the others, creating a synergistic effect that offers traders a more nuanced understanding of price action and volume.
Trend Pillar: Based on two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - a fast EMA (8 period) and a slow EMA (21 period). It determines the trend by comparing these EMAs, with stronger trends indicated when the fast EMA is significantly above or below the slow EMA.
Directional Movement (DM) Pillar: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) with a default period of 14. It measures trend strength, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend. It also considers the Positive and Negative Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to determine trend direction.
Momentum Pillar: Uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with customizable fast (12), slow (26), and signal (9) lengths. It compares the MACD line to the signal line to determine momentum strength and direction.
Stochastic Pillar: Employs the Stochastic oscillator with a default period of 13. It identifies overbought conditions (above 80) and oversold conditions (below 20), with intermediate zones between 60-80 and 20-40.
Fractal Pillar: Uses Williams' Fractal indicator with a default period of 3. It identifies potential reversal points by looking for specific high and low patterns over the given period.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) Pillar: Incorporates On-Balance Volume with three EMAs - short (3), medium (13), and long (21) periods. It assesses volume trends by comparing these EMAs.
Each pillar outputs a state ranging from -2 (strongly bearish) to 2 (strongly bullish), with 0 indicating a neutral state. This standardized output allows for easy comparison and aggregation of signals across all pillars.
Users can customize various parameters for each pillar, allowing them to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions. The multi-timeframe comparison feature also allows users to compare pillar states between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe, providing additional context for decision-making.
Design
From a design standpoint, I've put considerable effort into making the Six Pillars indicator visually appealing and user-friendly. The clean and minimalistic design is a key feature that sets this indicator apart.
I've implemented a sleek table layout that displays all the essential information in a compact and organized manner. The use of a dark background (#030712) for the table creates a sleek look that's easy on the eyes, especially during extended trading sessions.
The overall design philosophy focuses on presenting complex information in a simple, intuitive format, allowing traders to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
The color scheme is carefully chosen to provide clear visual cues:
White text for headers ensures readability
Green (#22C55E) for bullish signals
Blue (#3B82F6) for neutral states
Red (#EF4444) for bearish signals
This color coding extends to the candle coloring, making it easy to spot when all pillars agree on a bullish or bearish outlook.
I've also incorporated intuitive symbols (↑↑, ↑, →, ↓, ↓↓) to represent the different states of each pillar, allowing for quick interpretation at a glance.
The table layout is thoughtfully organized, with clear sections for the current and comparison timeframes. The Confluence Strength meter is prominently displayed, providing traders with an immediate sense of signal strength.
To enhance usability, I've added tooltips to various elements, offering additional information and explanations when users hover over different parts of the indicator.
How to Use This Indicator
The Six Pillars indicator is a versatile tool that can be used for various trading strategies. Here are some general usage guidelines and specific scenarios:
General Usage Guidelines:
Pay attention to the Confluence Strength meter. Higher values indicate stronger agreement among the pillars and potentially more reliable signals.
Use the multi-timeframe comparison to confirm signals across different time horizons.
Look for alignment between the current timeframe and comparison timeframe pillars for stronger signals.
One of the strengths of this indicator is it can let you know when markets are sideways – so in general you can know to avoid entering when the Confluence Strength is low, indicating disagreement among the pillars.

Daily Range + Asia Liquidity + FVG + silver Bullet sessionIndicator Description :
This indicator combines several trading concepts to provide an overall view of intraday selling opportunities. It includes the following elements:
Daily Range:
Measures the daily price range between the highest and lowest points of the day.
Helps understand daily volatility and identify potential support and resistance levels.
Asia Liquidity:
Analyzes price movements and volumes during the Asian session (usually from 00:00 to 08:00 GMT).
Identifies liquidity levels where the price has reacted during this period, providing clues on where significant orders are concentrated.
FVG (Fair Value Gap):
A trading concept that identifies areas where the price has moved quickly, creating a "gap" or empty space on the chart.
These areas are often revisited by the price, which can provide potential entry or exit points.
Silver Bullet Session:
Refers to a specific period of the day where a particular strategy or setup is expected to occur. For example, this could be a period where price movements are historically more predictable or volatile.
This session particularly targets price movements that attract sellers.
Using the Indicator
Identifying Selling Levels:
Combine the daily range levels with the liquidity zones identified during the Asian session to spot levels where sellers might be interested.
Use the fair value gaps (FVG) to identify areas where the price might return, providing entry or exit points for selling positions.
Silver Bullet Session:
Focus on this period to observe price movements and reactions to the levels identified earlier.
Look for selling signals (e.g., bearish reversal candlesticks or continuation patterns) during this session to maximize selling opportunities.
Objective :
The objective of this indicator is to provide a systematic approach to identifying selling opportunities based on multiple technical and temporal elements. By combining daily volatility, liquidity levels, value gaps, and specific trading periods, this indicator helps traders pinpoint potential selling points with greater accuracy.
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.
PI indicatorOpening 5-Minute Range Candle (A):
This represents the price range during the first 5 minutes of the trading day.
You can plot this as a vertical line connecting the high and low of the 5-minute candle.
Additionally, you can display the range values (high and low) as labels or in a table.
Multiply Opening Range Candle (A) with π (PI) Value (B):
Calculate the product of the opening range candle (A) and the value of π (approximately 3.14).
Plot this value as a line on the chart.
Optionally, you can label this line with the calculated value.
Divide B by 2 ©:
Divide the value obtained in step 2 (B) by 2.
Plot this value as another line on the chart.
You can also label this line with the calculated value.
Add C to A (D):
Sum the value of C (from step 3) with the opening range candle (A).
Plot this sum as a line on the chart.
Label this line accordingly.
Add C to D (E):
Add the value of C (from step 3) to the value of D (from step 4).
Plot this sum as another line on the chart.
Label it appropriately.
Add D to E (F):
Finally, add the value of D (from step 4) to the value of E (from step 5).
Plot this sum as a line with a distinct style (e.g., dashed or dotted) on the chart.
Label this line as well.
Remember that these steps involve mathematical calculations and plotting lines on the chart. You can customize the appearance (color, style, thickness) of each line and label according to your preferences. Additionally, consider adjusting the time frame to accurately capture the opening 5-minute range at 9:20:50 am.
Risk Radar ProThe "Risk Radar Pro" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to help investors and traders assess the risk and performance of their investments over a specified period. This presentation will explain each component of the indicator, how to interpret the results, and the advantages compared to traditional metrics.
The "Risk Radar Pro" indicator includes several key metrics:
● Beta
● Maximum Drawdown
● Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
● Annualized Volatility
● Dynamic Sharpe Ratio
● Dynamic Sortino Ratio
Each of these metrics is dynamically calculated using data from the entire selected period, providing a more adaptive and accurate measure of performance and risk.
1. Start Date
● Description: The date from which the calculations begin.
● Interpretation: This allows the user to set a specific period for analysis, ensuring that all metrics reflect the performance from this point onward.
2. Beta
● Description: Beta measures the volatility or systematic risk of the instrument relative to a reference index (e.g., SPY).
● Interpretation: A beta of 1 indicates that the instrument moves with the market. A beta greater than 1 indicates more volatility than the market, while a beta less than 1 indicates less volatility.
● Advantages: Unlike classic beta, which typically uses fixed historical intervals, this dynamic beta adjusts to market changes over the entire selected period, providing a more responsive measure.
3. Maximum Drawdown
● Description: The maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough before a new peak is achieved.
● Interpretation: This shows the largest single drop in value during the specified period. It is a critical measure of downside risk.
● Advantages: By tracking the maximum drawdown dynamically, the indicator can provide timely alerts when significant losses occur, allowing for better risk management.
4. Annualized Performance
● Description: The mean annual growth rate of the investment over the specified period.
● Interpretation: The Annualized Performance represents the smoothed annual rate at which the investment would have grown if it had grown at a steady rate.
● Advantages: This dynamic calculation reflects the actual long-term growth trend of the investment rather than relying on a fixed time frame.
5. Annualized Volatility
● Description: Measures the degree of variation in the instrument's returns over time, expressed as a percentage.
● Interpretation: Higher volatility indicates greater risk, as the investment's returns fluctuate more.
● Advantages: Annualized volatility calculated over the entire selected period provides a more accurate measure of risk, as it includes all market conditions encountered during that time.
6. Dynamic Sharpe Ratio
● Description: Measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment relative to its volatility.
● Choice of Risk-Free Rate Ticker: Users can select a ticker symbol to represent the risk-free rate in Sharpe ratio calculations. The default option is US03M, representing the 3-month US Treasury bill.
● Interpretation: A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted returns. This ratio accounts for the risk-free rate to provide a comparison with risk-free investments.
● Advantages: By using returns and volatility over the entire period, the dynamic Sharpe ratio adjusts to changes in market conditions, offering a more accurate measure than traditional static calculations.
7. Dynamic Sortino Ratio
● Description: Similar to the Sharpe ratio, but focuses only on downside risk.
Interpretation: A higher Sortino ratio indicates better risk-adjusted returns, focusing solely on negative returns, which are more relevant to risk-averse investors.
● Choice of Risk-Free Rate Ticker: Similarly, users can choose a ticker symbol for the risk-free rate in Sortino ratio calculations. By default, this is also set to US03M.
● Advantages: This ratio's dynamic calculation considering the downside deviation over the entire period provides a more accurate measure of risk-adjusted returns in volatile markets.
Comparison with Basic Metrics
● Static vs. Dynamic Calculations: Traditional metrics often use fixed historical intervals, which may not reflect current market conditions. The dynamic calculations in "Risk Radar Pro" adjust to market changes, providing more relevant and timely information.
● Comprehensive Risk Assessment: By including metrics like maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and Sortino ratio, the indicator provides a holistic view of both upside potential and downside risk.
● User Customization: Users can customize the start date, reference index, risk-free rate, and table position, tailoring the indicator to their specific needs and preferences.
Conclusion
The "Risk Radar Pro" indicator is a powerful tool for investors and traders looking to assess and manage risk more effectively. By providing dynamic, comprehensive metrics, it offers a significant advantage over traditional static calculations, ensuring that users have the most accurate and relevant information to make informed decisions.
The "Risk Radar Pro" indicator provides analytical tools and metrics for informational purposes only. It is not intended as financial advice. Users should conduct their own research and consider their individual risk tolerance and investment objectives before making any investment decisions based on the indicator's outputs. Trading and investing involve risks, including the risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Market Inner Strength IndexThe "Market Inner Strength Index" is an indicator designed to visually represent the market strength by analyzing the six major sectors: XLK, XLV, XLF, XLY, XLC and XLI. These sectors represent more than 80% of the SPX index, making their performance crucial for understanding overall market conditions. The indicator calculates the individual strengths of these sectors and combines them to provide an overall market strength index, helping to identify scenarios of sector rotation, euphoria, or panic.
Rationale:
The six major sectors (XLK, XLV, XLF, XLY, XLC, XLI) are essential as they encompass a significant portion of the SPX index. Typically, money rotates among these sectors, meaning some sectors grow while others decline. Rare occasions where all sectors move in the same direction can indicate market-wide euphoria (upwards) or panic (downwards). The Market Inner Strength Index helps track sector performance and identify these scenarios.
Methodology:
Script requests current timeframe data for each of the sectors and assigns scores, based on its performance. It will work best on the daily and higher timeframes but can also be used on the lower timeframes.
Score assignment:
If the sector is green (positive performance) for the given timeframe, it receives positive points.
If the sector is red (negative performance), it receives negative points.
If the current close price is above the previous period high, additional positive points are assigned.
If the current close price is below the previous period low, additional negative points are assigned.
The scores for the six sectors are averaged to compute a total score, which is plotted on the chart. A table displays the performance of each sector, color-coded based on their scores for the last period.
Parameters:
Neutral Zone : Define the neutral zone threshold.
Heikin Ashi : Option to use Heikin Ashi candles instead of normal ones.
Show Divergency : Option to show divergences on the chart. Divergence occurs when the SPY is bullish, but the sector score is bearish, or vice versa. This option will only work on SPY chart.
Sector selections : Enable/disable specific sectors in score calculation.
