Equity CurveAn equity curve is a graphical representation of the change in the value of a trading account over a time period. The equity curve is a direct reflection of a trading strategy's effectiveness. A consistently upward-trending equity curve indicates a successful strategy, while a flat or declining curve may signal the need for adjustment.
This indicator takes traders daily account values as a comma separated list, and creates an equity curve and simple moving average of the equity curve. This serves as a mirror reflecting the outcome of past actions and decisions, guiding traders in fine-tuning their strategies, managing risk more effectively, and ultimately striving towards a consistently profitable trading journey.
New equity values should be added to the end of the current list. A space or no space after the comma has no effect.
Importance of the Equity Curve
Strategy Evaluation: The equity curve is a direct reflection of a trading strategy's effectiveness over time. A consistently upward-trending equity curve indicates a successful strategy, while a flat or declining curve may signal the need for adjustment.
Risk Management: Monitoring the equity curve helps traders to see the impact of their risk management practices. Sudden drops in equity could highlight instances of excessive risk-taking or inadequate stop-loss settings.
Performance Benchmarks: Comparing the equity curve against benchmarks or desired performance goals allows traders to assess if they are meeting, exceeding, or falling short of their trading objectives.
Psychology: Trading is as much about psychology as it is about strategy. A visual representation of one's equity curve helps maintain discipline, encouraging adherence to a trading plan during downturns and preventing overconfidence during upswings.
Having this data visually allows traders to see which category of trader they fall into.

Boom or Bust
Profitable
Statistical Data
The indicator not only plots the equity curve and moving average, but includes the option to display the highest value reached by the equity curve, the percentage difference from the peak, and performance over selected periods (All Time, YTD, QTD, MTD, WTD).
Historical Analysis
The Equity Curve Indicator is not just a tool for real-time monitoring of trading performance; it also serves as a powerful instrument for conducting historical analysis. By analyzing the equity curve in conjunction with historical market conditions, traders can identify patterns or triggers that resulted in significant gains or losses.
For example, the chart below shows the equity curve overlaid on periods of net new highs / lows. The equity curve experienced declines while the market was showing net new lows or choppy periods (represented by a red or white background), while most of the equity gains were made while net new highs were present (green background).
This retrospective analysis helps in understanding how different market conditions impact trading strategies and performance.
Trading the Equity Curve
All trading strategies produce an equity curve that has winning and losing periods. In the example above, the trader could introduce a simple rule to lighten up on long positions or move to cash during periods of net new lows.
Another simple rule could be introduced to stop trading if the equity curve falls below the moving average, until favorable market conditions return again.
This indicator is intended to be used on the daily timeframe.

Danger Signals from The Trading MindwheelThe " Danger Signals " indicator, a collaborative creation from the minds at Amphibian Trading and MARA Wealth, serves as your vigilant lookout in the volatile world of stock trading. Drawing from the wisdom encapsulated in "The Trading Mindwheel" and the successful methodologies of legends like William O'Neil and Mark Minervini, this tool is engineered to safeguard your trading journey.
Core Features:
Real-Time Alerts: Identify critical danger signals as they emerge in the market. Whether it's a single day of heightened risk or a pattern forming, stay informed with specific danger signals and a tally of signals for comprehensive decision-making support. The indicator looks for over 30 different signals ranging from simple closing ranges to more complex signals like blow off action.
Tailored Insights with Portfolio Heat Integration: Pair with the "Portfolio Heat" indicator to customize danger signals based on your current positions, entry points, and stops. This personalized approach ensures that the insights are directly relevant to your trading strategy. Certain signals can have different meanings based on where your trade is at in its lifecycle. Blow off action at the beginning of a trend can be viewed as strength, while after an extended run could signal an opportunity to lock in profits.
Forward-Looking Analysis: Leverage the 'Potential Danger Signals' feature to assess future risks. Enter hypothetical price levels to understand potential market reactions before they unfold, enabling proactive trade management.
The indicator offers two different modes of 'Potential Danger Signals', Worst Case or Immediate. Worst Case allows the user to input any price and see what signals would fire based on price reaching that level, while the Immediate mode looks for potential Danger Signals that could happen on the next bar.
This is achieved by adding and subtracting the average daily range to the current bars close while also forecasting the next values of moving averages, vwaps, risk multiples and the relative strength line to see if a Danger Signal would trigger.
User Customization: Flexibility is at your fingertips with toggle options for each danger signal. Tailor the indicator to match your unique trading style and risk tolerance. No two traders are the same, that is why each signal is able to be turned on or off to match your trading personality.
Versatile Application: Ideal for growth stock traders, momentum swing traders, and adherents of the CANSLIM methodology. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned investor, this tool aligns with strategies influenced by trading giants.
Validation and Utility:
Inspired by the trade management principles of Michael Lamothe, the " Danger Signals " indicator is more than just a tool; it's a reflection of tested strategies that highlight the importance of risk management. Through rigorous validation, including the insights from "The Trading Mindwheel," this indicator helps traders navigate the complexities of the market with an informed, strategic approach.
Whether you're contemplating a new position or evaluating an existing one, the " Danger Signals " indicator is designed to provide the clarity needed to avoid potential pitfalls and capitalize on opportunities with confidence. Embrace a smarter way to trade, where awareness and preparation open the door to success.
Let's dive into each of the components of this indicator.
Volume: Volume refers to the number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a given period. It is a measure of the total trading activity and liquidity, indicating the overall interest in a stock or market.
Price Action: the analysis of historical prices to inform trading decisions, without the use of technical indicators. It focuses on the movement of prices to identify patterns, trends, and potential reversal points in the market.
Relative Strength Line: The RS line is a popular tool used to compare the performance of a stock, typically calculated as the ratio of the stock's price to a benchmark index's price. It helps identify outperformers and underperformers relative to the market or a specific sector. The RS value is calculated by dividing the close price of the chosen stock by the close price of the comparative symbol (SPX by default).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is a market volatility indicator used to show the average range prices swing over a specified period. It is calculated by taking the moving average of the true ranges of a stock for a specific period. The true range for a period is the greatest of the following three values:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The absolute value of the current high minus the previous close.
The absolute value of the current low minus the previous close.
Average Daily Range (ADR): ADR is a measure used in trading to capture the average range between the high and low prices of an asset over a specified number of past trading days. Unlike the Average True Range (ATR), which accounts for gaps in the price from one day to the next, the Average Daily Range focuses solely on the trading range within each day and averages it out.
Anchored VWAP: AVWAP gives the average price of an asset, weighted by volume, starting from a specific anchor point. This provides traders with a dynamic average price considering both price and volume from a specific start point, offering insights into the market's direction and potential support or resistance levels.
Moving Averages: Moving Averages smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price over a specific period of time. It helps traders identify trends by flattening out the fluctuations in price data.
Stochastic: A stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that compares a particular closing price of an asset to a range of its prices over a certain period of time. The theory behind the stochastic oscillator is that in a market trending upwards, prices will tend to close near their high, and in a market trending downwards, prices close near their low.
While each of these components offer unique insights into market behavior, providing sell signals under specific conditions, the power of combining these different signals lies in their ability to confirm each other's signals. This in turn reduces false positives and provides a more reliable basis for trading decisions
These signals can be recognized at any time, however the indicators power is in it's ability to take into account where a trade is in terms of your entry price and stop.
If a trade just started, it hasn’t earned much leeway. Kind of like a new employee that shows up late on the first day of work. It’s less forgivable than say the person who has been there for a while, has done well, is on time, and then one day comes in late.
Contextual Sensitivity:
For instance, a high volume sell-off coupled with a bearish price action pattern significantly strengthens the sell signal. When the price closes below an Anchored VWAP or a critical moving average in this context, it reaffirms the bearish sentiment, suggesting that the momentum is likely to continue downwards.
By considering the relative strength line (RS) alongside volume and price action, the indicator can differentiate between a normal retracement in a strong uptrend and a when a stock starts to become a laggard.
The integration of ATR and ADR provides a dynamic framework that adjusts to the market's volatility. A sudden increase in ATR or a character change detected through comparing short-term and long-term ADR can alert traders to emerging trends or reversals.
The "Danger Signals" indicator exemplifies the power of integrating diverse technical indicators to create a more sophisticated, responsive, and adaptable trading tool. This approach not only amplifies the individual strengths of each indicator but also mitigates their weaknesses.

Power OutageThe Power Outage indicator serves as the antithesis to the Power Trend, highlighting periods of extreme weakness or downtrends. Drawing inspiration from the Power Trend, the Power Outage framework was conceived by reversing the logic to highlight periods where being in cash or net short could be beneficial.
What Initiates a Power Outage?
The high is below the 21-day EMA for at least 10 consecutive days.
The 21-day EMA is below the 50-day SMA for a minimum of five days.
The 50-day SMA is on a downward trajectory.
The closing price is lower than the previous day's close.
A Power Outage can be a caution sign for traders to tighten up risk management and encourage defensive strategies or the consideration of short positions. Not only does this indicator clearly identify a Power Outage by a shaded background or shape plotted on the chart, but it also records metrics for each previous Power Outage.
The number of Power Outages that have occurred, their average length, and average depth (from the first day's close when the Power Outage activates to the low of the Power Outage) are all displayed to help assess the condition of the current Power Outage.
What Ends a Power Outage?
A Power Outage ends when the 21-day EMA crosses above the 50-day SMA, or when the price closes 10% above the recent low and above the 50-day SMA.
This indicator is designed to be viewed on a daily time frame.

Anchored Relative StrengthThe Anchored Relative Strength (RS) Indicator is a tool designed for traders to compare the performance of a selected stock or security against a benchmark index or another security starting from a specific point in time.
Traditional Relative Strength
The traditional RS line is a popular tool used to compare the performance of a stock, typically calculated as the ratio of the stock's price to a benchmark index's price. It helps identify outperformers and underperformers relative to the market or a specific sector.
The Anchored Approach
The Anchored RS line enhances the traditional concept of the RS line by introducing an anchored approach, where calculations begin from a user-defined date. This feature provides the flexibility to start the comparison from a specific historical event, earnings, market peak, trough, or any date significant to the trader's analysis.
Calculating Relative Strength
The RS value is calculated by dividing the close price of the chosen stock by the close price of the comparative symbol (SPX by default). This calculation is performed for each bar since the Anchor Date.
Indicator Features
🔶Custom Start Date
🔶Custom Comparison Symbol
🔶RS Line Moving Average
🔶Comparison Symbol Line
🔶Customize Colors & Appearance
Users can change the anchor date simply by clicking on the indicator and dragging the anchor point.
Webby's Quick & Grateful Dead RSWebby's Quick & Grateful Dead RS combines a Relative Strength Line and Moving Averages to help traders hold a core position in a winning stock by identifying moments of strength and weakness in a stocks advance.
The Relative Strength (RS) line is something many investors are familiar with. It is used to measure a stocks performance versus the S&P 500 (default setting) and is typically calculated by dividing the closing price of the stock by the closing price of the S&P. This means if a stock moves up and the S&P moves down or the stock moves up more than the S&P the RS line will increase, if the stock moves down while the S&P moves up the line will decrease.
While the RS Line by itself is a powerful tool, adding moving averages to the RS line can help better understand trends. This work was done by Mike Webster (Webby) as he tried to reverse engineer how William O'Neil was able to hold some of his biggest winning positions.
This indicator plots the RS line along with two moving averages and clearly labels and alerts the 3 signals shared by Webby:
Quick Break - RS line crosses below the fast moving average
Quicksand - RS line moves lower than it was at the time of the Quick Break
Grateful Dead Break - RS line crosses below the slow moving average
To ensure your chart doesn't get skewed, please use the multiplier in the setting to adjust the vertical offset of the RS line and moving averages.
MarketSmith Stochasticversion=5
This version of the stochastic produces the identical stochastic as used in MarketSmith
The three primary differences from a classic stochastic are as follows:
1. Close values only
2. 5-day ema instead of 3-day simple moving averages for smoothing the fast and slow lines
3. Slow and fast lines are truncated to integer values

[TTI] IBD Base Analysis (WEEKLY)📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
This indicator, titled " IBD Base Analysis (WEEKLY)," is an original creation by TinTinTrading. It synthesises multiple metrics and visual cues to provide a comprehensive overview of market bases on a weekly timeframe. It is based on the teachings of Investors Business Daily (IBD) and William O'Neil. Mainly from attending all IBD Seminars, Courses and part of man IBD MeetUps. I have compiled most criteria and made it into indicator.
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
What sets this indicator apart is its multi-faceted approach to base analysis. It doesn't just measure base depth or length, or plot a base structure with target (Cup with Handle, Double Bottoms, Flat Bases or other);
The IBD Base Analysis (WEEKLY) allows the user to pick the beginning and end of base and then runs through the criteria for a HEALTHY vs FAULTY Bases. The script is intended for a Weekly timeframe and is base agnostic - hence it can be used on any base pattern you want to analyse. By using the script you will be able to grab a quick visual if there are any faulty characteristics that you have be aware of. Furthermore, its user-friendly interface, complete with customisable color-coding and toggle-able advanced metrics, makes it a great tool for both novice and expert traders to incorporate into their trading.
🛠️ ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
👉 Analysis Table with customisable position. Each cell has additional information when you hover over it with a mouse to show what is required and what is faulty. The cells are color coordinated by user customisable color-coding. If the cell is green then it is bullish. If it is orange then it is soft violating condition and if it is red it is bearish.
Depth: First we look at the Depth of the base expressed in percent
Length: How many weeks long is the base
Number of Weeks under Accumulation (Acc Wks)
Number of Weeks under Distribution (Distrb Wks)
Number of Weeks showing Supporting action
Number of weeks which show wide and loose action (unfavorable), "10% WKs)
Number of weeks we close above the mid point
Grading of the close within the first 3 weeks after bottoming
Counting the Gap ups vs Gap down for the given period
👉 Base plots
+ plot under weeks where we have a tight action compared to previous week - this is considered favorable
▲ plot under down weeks where we show supporting action
⏺ appear under the 3 most important weeks in the base: The Week at the bottom, The week with the Largest Spread and the Week with the Largest Volume. Green means bullish action, Orange means soft violation. The tooltips on the circles show the Closing Range of the week.
- midpoint (in blue), this draws the midpoint within the base.
👉 18 month line - According to IBD the True Market Leaders Breakout and run for on average of 18 months before topping. For this reason I have included a customizable on/off line that plots 18 months back. What I want to see is if the stock has been in a strong uptrend (Stage 2 accumulation for those knowing the Stan Weinstein methodology) for the last18 months. If yes, you ought to consider the base higher risk than one that is just starting its move.
💡 ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
Add the indicator to your chart
Determine the beginning and the end of the base (use the settings in the indicator or drag the verical blue lines)
Read the price action based on the coloring and the criteria explained in the tooltips. Additionally familiarize yourself with the general tips for reading a base below.
💡 ––––GENERAL TIPS FOR READING THE ANALYSIS TABLE––––
Depth: IBD recommends bases to be under 30%. However, during a strong bear market some stocks can exhibit 1.5-2x the volatility. Yet, it is key within the IBD methodology to buy breakouts from proper Non-deep bases
Length: Many newer traders misinterpret small patterns for bases. This common misunderstanding is addressed by calculating the length of the base and determining if it is developed or immature.
Number of Weeks under Accumulation (Acc Wks): This is the first thing the late Market Wizard William O'neill looks into the base. How many weeks are showing signs of accumualtion and how many are showing signs of distribution (the cell below). Always look for Accumulation weeks to be more than distribution weeks.
Number of Weeks under Distribution (Dist Wks): See above
Number of Weeks showing Supporting action: New traders determine down week as bearish. However, within the methodology and extensive research IBD has given criteria of down weeks that are actually a bullish sign. Counting the number of weeks within the base that meet this criteria gives us this metric.
Number of weeks which show wide and loose action: If the base is not compact but it is wide and loose it is considered an unfavorable pattern. Generally, occurs within Stage 3 of a stock topping.
Wks > Mid: Utilizes a simple 'hack' of base reading. How many weeks have closed above the mid level of the base and how many have closed below the mid level of the base.
Grading of the close within the first 3 weeks of the bottom: The next cell looks at the price action subsequent of the 3 weeks after the bottom. These are very important as they show if accumulation is happening (strengthening the breakout hypothesis) or if it is not.
Counting the Gap ups vs Gap down for the given period: Lastly gaps are key footprint of institutional moves. We look for the number of DAILY gaps on the WEEKLY timeframe and compare the daily gap up vs the daily gap downs within the base.
REMEMBER, ALL TRADING INCLUDES RISK. NEVER RELY SOLELY ON A SINGLE INDICATOR. INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR BROADER TRADING METHODOLOGY AS A COMPLEMENTING SOURCE OF INFORMATION.
[TTI] MarketSmith & IBD Style Model Stock Quarters 📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
The MarketSmith & IBD Style Model Stock Quarters another Utility indicator is an original creation by TintinTrading inspired by Investor's Business Daily and William O'Neil style of presenting information. While going through the Model Stocks that IBD has been publishing, I realized that I wanted to see the exam same Quarterly presentation on the time axis in order to compare William O'Neil notes better with my own notes from Tradingview. The script is simple and could help you if you study the CANSLIM methodology.
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
The distinctiveness of this indicator lies in its ability to visually delineate stock quarters directly on the price chart. It serves as a handy tool for traders who adopt a quarterly review of stock performance, in line with MarketSmith and IBD's analysis frameworks.
🛠️ ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
Quarter Marking : Draws a black line at the beginning of each financial quarter (January, April, July, and October).
Quarter Labeling : Places a label at the close of the last month in a quarter, indicating the upcoming quarter with its abbreviation and the last two digits of the year.
💡 ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
👉Installation: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart by searching for " MarketSmith & IBD Style Model Stock Quarters" in the indicator library.
👉Add to New Pane and squash the Pane Length: I add the indicator to a new pane under the price and volume charts and squash the height of the pane so that it looks exactly like the MarketSmith visuals.
👉Visual Cues:
Look for the black lines marking the start of a new quarter.
Observe the labels indicating the upcoming quarter and year, positioned at the close of the last month in a quarter.
👉Interpretation: Use these quarterly markers to align your trading strategies with quarterly performance metrics or to conduct seasonal analysis.
👉Settings: The indicator does not require any user-defined settings, making it straightforward to use.
MarketSmith VolumesThe 'MarketSmith Volumes' is to be used with the 'MarketSmith Indicator' and 'EPS & Sales' in order to mimic fully MarketSmith Graphs with the maximum number of indicators allowed by a free Tradingview Plan: 3
This indicator is no more than a simple volume indicator where all parameters are already adjusted to resemble MarketSmith graphical volumes.
Also you will find integrated:
High Volumes Bars Peak :
They allow us to see peak volumes at a glance.
10-Week Average Volume :
When viewing a weekly chart, this line represents a 10-week moving average volume level. It allows you to see if the current Volume Bar of the week is above or under the average volume traded in the past 10 Weeks.
50-Day Average Volume :
When viewing a daily chart, this line represents a 50-day moving average volume level. Whether or not volume is above or below the average for a certain period could have a significant impact on your stock chart analysis.
MarketSmith IndicatorThis script provides you with several indicators that will enable you to mimic MarketSmith charts, even with a free TradingView plan.
You can use this script with my ' EPS & Sales ' indicator.
MarketSmith-style bars
The script offers an original approach to managing candlesticks within the code, making them almost identical to those on MarketSmith.
For a perfect display, select ' Bars ' on your chart and set the opacity of your candles to 100% to display only the candles proposed by this indicator.
If you don't want them, you can simply disable them in the ' Style ' tab by unchecking 'MarketSmith Bars' and 'Chars'.
These candles are designed to be used with a fix chart. (No beautiful result with zooming in or out.)
Normally, the display will still be correct by right-clicking, and ' Reset Chart '.
Simple customizable moving averages
With automatic distinction of the weekly time unit. You can choose to display them or not, select the calculation method and modify their length via the panel.
The RS Rating indicator
I've integrated the RS Rating indicator into this script, as the RS Rating is a fundamental component of this layout.
High and valley points
These points are used by MarketSmith to detect bases, patterns, cup & handle.
Designed for US Market only you won't be able to screen correctly the India market for example.
MarketSmith Daily Market IndicatorsMarketSmith Daily Market Indicators is designed to mimic the Daily Market Indicators tab found in MarketSmith. This tab contains 4 different secondary indicators to help gauge the health of the overall market.
This indicator allows you to choose which of the 4 indicators to show, as well as which index to pull data from, Nasdaq or NYSE. There is also a snapshot table showing the following:
# of stock advancing and up volume
# of stocks declining and down volume
# of stock unchanged and unchanged volume
# of stocks making new highs and new lows
Now let's look at the 4 indicators and how they work.
Advance/Decline Line
Plots the number of advancing shares vs the number of declining shares. Heavily weighted index stocks can skew price action, this line helps reveal that and whether most stocks are aligned with the trend.
Short Term Overbought/Oversold Oscillator
A 10-day moving average of the number of stocks moving up in price less the number of stocks moving down in price.
10 Day Moving Average of Up & Down Volume
Two 10 day moving averages to represent the volume of all stocks. Blue line: total volume of all stocks moving up in price. Red line: the total volume of all stocks moving down in price.
10 Day Moving Average of New Highs & New Lows
Two 10-day moving average to represent stocks making new highs and new lows. Blue line: The number of stocks making new price highs. Red line: The number of stocks reaching new lows.
Note this indicator is designed to work on a daily time frame chart. Data typically updates 90 minutes after the close. Data may differ from Marketsmith due to different providers, however the general trends are the same.
Quarterly EarningsThis script displays quarterly earnings per share (EPS) and sales data, and their year-on-year percentage change.
The script builds upon the Volume Price and Fundamentals script by Mohit_Kakkar08 and improves upon the array functions to keep the code light-weight & the output as accurate as possible. This script uses diluted EPS data for calculating the quarterly earnings. New quarters are auto-generated by the script as the earnings data gets updated in Tradingview every quarter.
Features:
⦿ View quarterly earnings per share (EPS) and sales data.
⦿ The percentage change is a YoY (year on year) comparison of the current quarter to the same quarter of the previous year.
⦿ Option to change the data from Quarterly (FQ) to Yearly (FY) .
⦿ Long mode : Option to increase the number of previous quarters displayed in the table (default is the past 4 quarters) to any number.
⦿ Location & size of the table can be changed.
⦿ Option for a 1-click dark mode
⦿ Option for a ' Mini mode ' where the values are replaced by traffic lights for a quick visual:
🟢 or 🔵 YoY increase in earnings/sales
🔴 or 🟣 YoY decrease in earnings/sales
🟡 or 🟠 YoY earnings/sales unchanged
⚪️ No data available
⦿ The top-left cell has the option to display either the free float (FF) or the marketcap (Mcap) of the stock.
Please note that sometimes the Tradingview data reflected in the script output might differ a bit from MarketSmith. Also make sure you are viewing the 'consolidated' data there.
This script was developed as a collaboration between me & @EquityCraze .
Market Smith IndicatorsMarket Smith has a collection of tools that are useful for identifying stocks. On their charts they have a 21/50/200 day moving averages, high and low pivot points, a relative strength line, and a relative strength rating. This script contains indicators for the following:
21/50/200 Day Moving Averages
High and Low pivot points
A Relative Strength line
A Relative Strength rating
21/50/200 Day Moving Averages
The 21/50/200 Day moving averages are simple moving averages. They are visible in any chart increment but to use them properly you need to set you charts to be by day. Labels will appear on the right of the lines to show that they are representative of 21/50/200 day moving averages.
High and Low pivot points
The High and Low pivot points are green for high pivot points and red for low points. They are show in the Market Smith style with the numbers simply above the pivot points.
Relative Strength line
The Relative Strength line is a line that shows the strength of the stock compared to the S&P 500. In this case we utilize the SPX ticker to compare the stock to. This line is almost identical to the Market Smith tool and is an excellent tool to determine how a stock is doing compared to the market. When movements in the stock and shown with sideways trending of the RS line that means that the stock is following the market. When a stock is outperforming the market the RS line will follow.
Relative Strength rating
Thank you to ©Fred6724 for the RS Rating inspiration. They wrote excellent open source code for a RS Rating comparable to Market Smith. As the RS Rating in Market Smith is not open source it is difficult to know exactly how it is being calculated. After simplifying Fred's code and building upon a few ideas I had I compared the RS Rating to multiple Market Smith Ratings. The rating is close but often off by multiple points. If there is anyone who has a better idea on how to get this rating or how to improve on the code please send me a PM or fork this project. This rating is a good indicator to see how a certain stock compares to other stocks in the market. In Market Smith they are able to utilize their database to compare it to all other stocks. Since we do not have access to the same tools we are only able to compare it to the percentage of stocks above the 200, 150, 100, 50, and 20 day moving average.
Using these tools together are a small fraction what make people like Bill O'neill and Jim Roppel so successful. I plan on updating the RS Rating as I continue to work on this project so if there is anyone who has ideas then please send me a PM. Ultimately the goal of this project is to have a solution that is identical to Market Smith.
Base Finder DailyThe Base Finder Daily is the companion tool to the original Base Finder which is used to identify consolidation periods in a stock's advance. The Base Finder Daily allows traders to zoom in from the weekly chart and get a more precise view of the daily price action during a basing period.
Base Finder Daily identifies three different types of bases (Flat Base, High Tight Flag, Consolidation) and provides key information about the consolidation such as the depth, length, and pivot point. This information allows traders to compare and analyze the best basing patterns quickly and easily.
This tool helps traders of all levels train their eye to identify potential trading opportunities that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Base Finder is a must-have tool for any trader, especially those that have studied the work of William O’Neil. Base Finder stacks up base for base with MarketSmith.
Easily customize the settings, from the look to the intricacies of a consolidation.
Default base settings:
Flat Base
length: 25 days minimum
depth: <= 15%
High Tight Flag
Flag Pole: up 80% or more in less than 40 days
Flag: Less than 25% correction in 10-20 days
Consolidation:
length: minimum 30 days
depth: <= 35%
Notes
This indicator is meant to be used on the daily timeframe.
In order to see the stats labels hover your mouse over the left side high of the consolidation and please make sure the indicator is brought to the front using the visual order of your chart. If the visual order is not correct you will not be able to see the stats label.

Market NavigatorThe Market Navigator turns the methodology taught in Market School by Investors Business Daily into an easy-to-use indicator. This system follows a strict set of rules to help gauge when it's time to increase market exposure or back away.
The indicator considers 24 different buy and sell signals, as well as portfolio management rules, to keep you on the right side of the market with no guesswork.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on different criteria, including the relationship between price and key moving averages, volume, and time. Each signal is assigned a point value, which is then added (buy signal) or subtracted (sell signal) to the running exposure count when the signal occurs. This exposure count is then used to give a recommended maximum exposure level.
The Market Navigator also identifies certain instances when being more aggressive is called for, known as a Power Trend. A Power Trend is triggered within the context of an uptrend that meets a certain criterion of price, length, and moving average relationship.
This indicator is a must-have for any trader looking to take the guesswork out of their trading by automating recommended exposure levels and being in step with the market
Principles covered include:
Recommended maximum portfolio exposure
Buy switch / restraint rules
Follow through / distribution days
Power Trend
Customize the indicator so it fits and looks great on your charts!
Multiple ways to view key information
Customize colors
Show or hide different element to see as much or as little information as you want
Highlight the background of Power Trends
Change the bar color of distribution/stall days
Change table position & size
Show or hide key moving averages
Dynamic Day 1
When you first put the indicator on your chart, it will ask you to select Day 1 of the current rally attempt. A Day 1 is defined as either:
The first positive day in a down trending market
A down day where the index closes in the upper half of the daily range
With over 24 buy and sell signals, the built-in reference table makes it simple to crosscheck which signals occur.
Included with this indicator is access to the Market Navigator Oscillator, which plots the exposure count as a line in a separate pane, keeping your main chart uncluttered. This version allows you to see all of the same information in a condensed form.

RS RatingHello everyone.
The RS Rating (or Relative Strenght Rating) is a metric that tracks a stock's price performance relative to the rest of the market. Specifically, it looks at a stock's relative strength over the last 52 weeks.
It allows you to identify at a glance stocks that are outperforming the market and may be poised for further gains.
Designed for break-out traders, trend follower, value investors, the RS Rating can help you identify promising opportunities and make informed investment decisions.
The Rating stands as follow:
- From 1 (worst) to 99 (best)
- 99 rating means the stock is outperforming 99% of all stocks in terms of relative share price performance over the last 52 weeks.
The RS Rating is accompanied by the RS line which is a representation of the progress of the asset against the comparative symbol. (Here SP500)
Of course this script is inspired by the IBD rating system.
The results may be equivalent but it is not guaranteed.
This indicator proposes a scoring system in the style of the one proposed by IBD.
Indeed for an optimal result, it would be necessary to compare the relative performance of all actions, which is not yet possible on PineScript.
Here is the formula for calculating the score:
RS Score = 40% * P3 + 20% * P6 + 20% * P9 + 20% * P12
With
P3 = Performance over the last 3 months
P6 = Performance over the last 6 months
P9 = Performance over the last 9 months
P12 = Performance over the last 12 months
There is no equivalent solution for the moment on TradingView.
The rating score will only appear on the daily timeframe.
For now it's my pleasure to share!
Price Data LabelThis indicator gives you the ability to see historical data for each bar on the chart by simply hovering over the high of the bar, similar to the functionality of MarketSmith.
Data for each bar includes:
Open
High
Low
Close + Change
Percentage Change
Closing Range
Volume
Volume Percent based on 50 day average
Distance to 4 selectable moving averages
Example of stats on a historical bar:
* Note this only works on the last 500 historical bars. If you use bar replay it will work with 500 historical bars from the last bar.
* If you have multiple indicators on your chart, in order to see the data you will need to use visual order to bring to front. This can be done by clicking the three dots next to the indicator name and selecting visual order.
EPS & SalesHi everyone,
I just adapted a little utility script to visualise EPS % increase (quarters vs Year -1) and sales.
I used the code from @ARUN_SAXENA and modified it to fix what I saw as issues.
(Using base 3M instead of 1M +
request.earnings(syminfo.tickerid, earnings.actual, ignore_invalid_symbol=true)
instead of
request.financial(syminfo.tickerid, "EARNINGS_PER_SHARE", "FQ")
Data will differ from MarketSmith because they use sometimes actual EPS sometimes standard, but think we can at least trust what we see in term of %
The tool is far from being perfect !
Marked Highs/Lows - Support & ResistanceThis indicator mimics the functionality of marked highs/lows in MarketSmith, a charting tool available from Investor's Business Daily. Marked highs/lows, sometimes referred to as pivot highs/lows, can be used to locate areas of support and resistance. These same points can also be helpful when drawing trendlines and channels.
I've added several customization options that add to the flexibility and overall usefulness of this technical indicator.
Custom Ranges for Marked Highs/Lows
In MarketSmith, a marked high is the highest high going back nine bars and forward nine bars. The number of required bars with lower highs on each side of the high is referred to as the period. The default for the indicator is a nine bar period, however, you can configure the period to fit with your trading style.
View Marked Highs/Lows on Any Timeframe
MarketSmith only supports marked highs/lows on daily charts. With this indicator you can view marked highs/lows on any timeframe.
Suggestions
■ Draw horizontal rays from the most recent marked high and low to help visualize areas of support and resistance.
■ Create a channel to show the current trading range. Draw a trendline across marked highs and a separate trendline across marked lows.
■ Increase the marked high/low periods to find more significant highs and lows.
Earnings, Sales & Volume DashboardView quarterly earnings per share (EPS) and sales data. Optional visual icons can be shown comparing data on a Year-over-Year (YoY) and/or Quarter-on-Quarter (QoQ) basis.
YoY: quarterly earnings/sales compared to the value in the same quarter of the previous year.
QoQ: quarterly earnings/sales compared to the value of the previous quarter.
Earnings Calculation - Basic EPS vs Diluted
This indicator uses basic EPS data to calculate earnings. For relatively new issues (IPOs, etc), some platforms/tools may use diluted EPS data as a means to account for outstanding stock options, convertible preferred shares, etc. In this scenario, you will notice differences in the earnings information.
Features
■ View quarterly earnings per share (EPS) and sales data.
■ Configure colors for dashboard header and rows.
■ Change location of dashboard.
■ Choose which charts display the dashboard (daily, weekly or monthly).
Pro Tip: Show the dashboard on top of other chart elements:
- Right click on the indicator
- Select 'Visual Order'
- Select 'Bring to Front'
Volume Indicators PackageCONTAINS 3 OF MY BEST VOLUME INDICATORS ALL FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!
CONTAINS:
Average Dollar Volume in RED
Up/Down Volume Ratio in Green
Volume Buzz/Volume Run Rate in BLUE
If you would like to get these individually, I also have scripts for that too.
Below is information about all three of these indicators, what they do, and why they are important.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AVERAGE DOLLAR VOLUME----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dollar volume is simply the volume traded multiplied times the cost of the stock.
Dollar volume is an extremely important metric for finding stocks with enough liquidity for market makers to position themselves in. Market Liquidity is defined as market's feature whereby an individual or firm can quickly purchase or sell an asset without causing a drastic change in the asset's price. The key concept you want to understand is that these big instructions with billions of dollars need liquidity in a stock in order to even think about buying it, and therefore these institutions will demand a large dollar volume . A good dollar volume amount, that represents a pretty liquid name, is typically above 100 million $ average. Why are institutions important? Simple because they are the ones who make stocks move, and I mean really move. If you want to see large growth from a stock in a short amount of time, you need institutions wielding billions of dollars to be fighting one another to buy more shares. Institutions are the ones who make or break a stock, this is why we call them market makers.
My script calculates average dollar volume using four averages: the 50, the 30, the 20, and the 10 period. I use multiple averages in order to provide the accurate and up to date information to you. It then selects the minimum of these averages and divides this value by 1 million and displays this number to you.
TL;DR? If you want monster moves from your stocks, you need to pick names with average high liquidity(dollar volume >= $100 million). The number presented to you is in millions of whatever currency the name is traded in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UP/DOWN VOLUME RATIO-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up/Down Volume Ratio is calculated by summing volume on days when it closes up and divide that total by the volume on days when the stock closed down.
High volume up days are typically a sign of accumulation(buying) by big players, while down days are signs of distribution(selling) by big market players. The Up Down volume ratio takes this assumption and turns it into a tangible number that's easier for the trader to understand. My formula is calculated using the past 50 periods, be warned it will not display a value for stocks with under 50 periods of trading history. This indicator is great for identify accumulation of growth stocks early on in their moves, most of the time you would like a growth stocks U/D value to be above 2, showing institutional sponsorship of a stock.
Up/Down Volume value interpretation:
U/D < 1 -> Bearish outlook, as sellers are in control
U/D = 1 -> Sellers and Buyers are equal
U/D > 1 -> Bullish outlook, as buyers are in control
U/D > 2 -> Bullish outlook, significant accumulation underway by market makers
U/D >= 3 -> MONSTER STOCK ALERT, market makers can not get enough of this stock and are ravenous to buy more
U/D values greater than 2 are rare and typically do not last very long, and U/D >= 3 are extremely rare one example I kind find of a stock's U/D peaking above 3 was Google back in 2005.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VOLUME BUZZ-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume Buzz/ Volume Run Rate as seen on TC2000 and MarketSmith respectively.
Basically, the volume buzz tells you what percentage over average(100 time period moving average) the volume traded was. You can use this indicator to more readily identify above-average trading volume and accumulation days on charts. The percentage will show up in the top left corner, make sure to click the settings button and uncheck the second box(left of plot) in order to get rid of the chart line.
