Stock Rotation Model [CC]This is an original indicator so a true hidden gem in my opinion. I based this idea off of the work by Giorgos Siligardos (Stocks and Commodities Aug 2012) with his indicator called the Sector Rotation Model. This indicator is best used as a trend confirmation in combination with another indicator such as a leading indicator. This will show you how strong the current stock you are looking at is compared to the S&P 500 which almost everyone uses as a relative strength comparison. Feel free to change the default lengths if you would like as these were just the settings that I liked the best overall. Let me know if you find any good combos that works for most stocks in general. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish!

Call / All Ratio ( C / A ) - NoldoFirst of all this script inspired by MagicEins' Put/Call-Ratio-Buschi script .
What is the Put-Call Ratio
The put-call ratio is an indicator ratio that provides information about relative trading volumes of an underlying security's put options to its call options. The put-call ratio has long been viewed as an indicator of investor sentiment in the markets, where a large proportion of puts to calls indicates bearish sentiment, and vice versa. Technical traders use the put-call ratio as an indicator of performance and as a barometer of overall market sentiment. Put-call ratios on broader indexes such as the S&P 500 are also used as more general gauges of market climate.
Put-Call Ratio Interpretation
One way to interpret the put-call ratio is to say that a higher ratio means it's time to sell and a lower ratio means it's time to buy, because when the ratio is high it suggests that people are either expecting or protecting more readily against a future decline in the price of the underlying. A Put-Call ratio between 0.5 and 1 is considered a sideways trend in the markets.
Some also view the Put-Call ratio as a contrarian indicator. Traders know that derivatives are used to do more than place bets; they are used as hedges and insurance. If there's a lot of insurance being placed to the sell side, it means traders are worried about prices falling.
Some traders buy when the put-call ratio is above 1, meaning the market is out of balance to the sell side, and sell when the put-call ratio is below 1, meaning the market is out of balance to the buy side. These traders are looking to make money on the correction. The interpretation of the ratio is left to the analyst's or trader's investment philosophy.

Let' s start.
In short, calls represent "bulls" and puts represent "bears".
Some analysts do the opposite,for trend reversals the choice is up to you.
I usually look at the opposite comments in commercial positions because I look at this flow angle neutral.
If you want to do the opposite, you must create Put / All Ratio.
So i created this ratio to observe easily movements under or over 0.50 area .
Or you can take the point close to 0.50 as a horizontal trend. Many more comments can be made.I have a few ideas about this, and I'm going to publish them soon . My best suggestion is that it covers a single bar and is very volatile, so you can look for averages and strong accelerations.
