[TTI] Combined Absolute Relative Strength - ARS toolHISTORY AND CREDITS–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
I got inspired to build this based on some public lectures I have seen of Matt Caruso. Matt says he has taken 10 years to build similar tool. The idea of a 'better' Relative Strength hit home and I cracked open the textbooks to see which technique would serve best. I think I have made a very close (my estimate about 90%) script to the original. Examples of side by side in comments.
WHAT IT DOES––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
💡A significant advancement in relative strength analysis is Combined Adaptive Relative Strength (ARS tool).
The ARS tool makes it quick and easy to determine whether an asset exhibits Relative Strength and is therefore subject to institutional accumulation.
ARS is not restricted to equities and may be used to find RS on any traded security like crypto, forex, bonds or ETFs. By design, ARS adjusts to a security's volatility to discover RS in a slower-moving, dividend-paying investment just as easily as in a one with strong velocity. Due to this feature, investors are able to use RS analysis on any security type that fits their objectives and risk tolerance.
When the indicator calculates a favourable, strong relative strength in the ticker it paints the background of the chart to the chosen color.
🎁 Unlike the original indicator, I have left a few customisable settings for those who wish to toggle the sensitivity:
✅. You can choose which index you compare Relative Strength against (perfect for anyone trading international)
✅. You can choose how manyDays Lookback the ticker uses to make calculations
✅. You can chooses what Timeperiod in number of bars the ticker uses to calculate Relative Strength
✅. I have made all calculations adaptable for larger and smaller timeframes (so wether you are daytrader or investor this will adapt to the way you have customised your chart).
HOW TO USE IT–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The tool highlights the periods of time when the ticker has the highest probability of attracting institutional investors and hence result in price appreciation. The blue color appears in stages of the indicator where significant upward moves are probable.
You can use the indicator as part of the longer term trend analysis of your research.

[TTI] Stage 2 Signal & NetNewHighs vs NetNewLowsHISTORY AND CREDITS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Stage 2 is part of Mark Minervini's NON-NEGOTIABLE criteria. What does this mean? Well it means that Mark does not enter a trade that is not in Stage 2. Stage analysis is the work of Stan Weinstein who divides stock price movements in 4 stages (Stage1, Stage2, Stage3 and Stage4). Additionally, the second part of the indicator, NetNewHighs (NNH) vs NetNewLows (NNL), has been used by many traders, most recently I have seen Matt Caruso use it in his methodology.
WHAT IT DOES ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
1️⃣ Stage 2 Signal
This method uses price, moving averages, volume in order to asses when it is the best time to get in a trade.
👉 Stage 1 - stock goes sideways and does not make any price progress
👉 Stage 2 - stock gains a lot of value and is trending up. It shows strong support from institutions
👉 Stage 3 - stock goes in a sideways action again
👉 Stage 4 - stock loses a lot of it gain in a short amount of time
Stage 2 is shown by the AQUA/CYAN color on the first line of the indicator.🟦
2️⃣ Net New Highs vs Net New Lows
This assess the general market health. It looks at the ration of New Highs vs New Lows. The indicator assess when there has been 3 consecutive days of Net New Highs > Net New Lows, this show that the general market is moving up as more stocks are advancing than those that are declining. As per Investor Business Daily research the stocks move is determined 50% by the move of the general market, 25% by the move of the sector it is in and 25% by the stock itself. Therefore, the indicator helps assess and analyze the 50% of the general marekt.
When the condition of 3consecutive days is met the indicator prints green square on the bottom line 🟩.. The sensitivity (i.e. the 3 day can be changed in the settings).
HOW TO USE IT –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
1️⃣ Stage 2 Signal
Only enter trades when they are in a Stage 2. This drastically increases the probability of success when trading to the long side. Look for AQUA/CYAN squares print before entering a trade
2️⃣ Net New Highs vs Net New Lows
Look for confirmation criteria indicated by a printing of green squares in the bottom of the indicator.
[TTI] Net New Highs / Lows––––History & Credit
There are multiple methodologies that use Net New Highs for the NASDAQ or NYSE as a market direction indicator. Recently, I saw Matt Caruso to also apply such methodology, so I decided to code this indicator.
–––––What it does
👉 Plots a Net Change histogram. This shows New Highs - New Lows, if the histogram is above 0 this means there are more highs than lows
👉 Plots Background colouring. This is dependant on the sensitivity setting of the indicator. We would require a few days of downward action before concluding a downward action. Sensitivity can be adjusted in the menu
👉 Bot the Histogram and the Background colouring can be turned on and off (as per screenshot example)
–––––How to use it
You can use it to validate if the market conditions are ripe for entering a trade. For instance if you trade long, you would want to confirm with the indicator that general market is facilitating moves to the upside. IBD have mentioned more than once that a stock move is 50% due to the general market move.
