IBD PowerTrendThis IBD PowerTrend indicator is designed to help traders identify strong market uptrends based on the IBD Market School's Power Trend methodology. It is intended to be added to daily charts on major indexes.
Concept and Methodology
The IBD PowerTrend helps traders identify strong market uptrends. Markets generally exist in three states: uptrends, downtrends, and rangebound motion. This methodology focuses on:
Downtrends: Stay out of the market.
Rangebound markets: Often frustrating, best avoided.
Uptrends: Identify the strongest uptrends early.
This indicator uses IBD's research on historical uptrends to help traders get in and stay in during robust market phases.
How It Works
A PowerTrend starts when the following four conditions are met simultaneously on a major index:
10-Day Low Above 21-Day EMA : The market's low must be above the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) for at least 10 consecutive days.
21-Day EMA Above 50-Day SMA : The 21-day EMA must be above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) for at least five consecutive days.
50-Day SMA Uptrend : The 50-day SMA must be in an uptrend (one day is sufficient).
Market Closes Up : The market must close higher than the previous day's close.
A PowerTrend typically ends when the 21-day EMA crosses back below the 50-day SMA. However, there are rare cases where a PowerTrend can end early due to a circuit breaker or a follow-through day failure. In this script, a circuit breaker is defined as a break of the 50-day line and being more than 10% below recent highs (interpreted as three months).
How to Use
When the PowerTrend is active, the indicator will plot green circles, signaling a strong market uptrend. During these periods, traders might observe opportunities in growth stocks breaking out of sound bases and consider the use of margin. Conversely, during downtrends, the indicator suggests a more defensive approach.
It is recommended to use on daily timeframe.

Powertrend
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.
LevelUp^ Trend Follower All-In-OneLevelUp is an all-in-one collection of the most popular trend following tools merged into one indicator. LevelUp automates many aspects of technical analysis to find and highlight chart patterns and signals based on the principles of William O'Neil, Stan Weinstein, Jesse Livermore and other well-known trend followers.
The 10-EMA, 21-EMA and 50-SMA are foundational in LevelUp. LevelUp uses the term moving average alignment to refer to patterns that meet your specific requirements as it relates to moving averages and their relationship to price and one another. For example, you can request the start of MA alignment begin when the low is > 21-EMA, the 21-EMA is > 50-SMA and the 50-SMA is trending up.
LevelUp includes indicators for intraday, daily and weekly timeframes.

Daily Chart Examples
The following charts show a range of examples on customization and features in LevelUp when viewing a daily chart.
Weekly Chart Examples
Weekly charts are helpful for identifying longer-term trends and patterns. Trend followers often limit the number of indicators and signals on a weekly timeframe, making for a cleaner chart with less noise.
Intraday Chart Examples
Daily 10-EMA, 21-EMA and 50-SMA on an intraday chart.
AVWAP and marked highs/lows.
RS Line ~ Relative Strength
The RS Line compares a stock's performance to the S&P 500 index. A rising RS Line means the stock is outperforming the overall market. Another important signal is when the RS Line reaches a new high before price. When this occurs, it indicates strong demand for the stock and may precede a significant price increase as buyers accumulate shares. Both signals are customizable within LevelUp providing multiple visual cues when the required conditions are met.
LevelUp also adds a few unique visuals as it relates to the typical RS Line. Included are options to show symbols on the RS line that represent RS Line new high and RS Line new high before price. This provides an at-a-glance view of the trend. Additionally, LevelUp allows for custom moving averages to be applied to the RS Line as well as an optional cloud to help identify support/resistance levels.
Power Trends
When a power trend is active, there is a stronger than usual uptrend underway. The concept of a power trend was created by Investor's Business Daily (IBD) based on extensive backtesting and historical analysis.
A power trend by definition uses a major index, such as the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC), as the data source for determining a power trend's state, either off or on. The LevelUp indicator builds upon this concept by allowing the current active chart symbol to be the data source for the power trend.
What Starts A Power Trend:
▪ Low is above the 21-day EMA for at least 10 days.
▪ 21-day EMA is above the 50-day SMA for at least five days.
▪ 50-day SMA is in an uptrend.
▪ Close up for the day.
What Ends A Power Trend:
▪ 21-day EMA crosses under 50-day SMA and the close is below prior day close.
▪ Close below the 50-day SMA and low is 10% below recent high.
Important Note: The power trend as created by IBD uses the daily 21-EMA and 50-SMA. Hence, the power trend is only shown when on the daily timeframe.
AVWAP - Anchored VWAP
The Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (AVWAP) , created by Brian Shannon, is used to assess the average price at which an asset has traded since a specific time, event or milestone. This could be the beginning of a trading day, the release of important news, or any other event deemed significant. By anchoring the VWAP to a specific point in time, it helps market participants analyze how prices have evolved relative to that anchor.
If a stock is above a rising AVWAP, buyers are in control, while a declining AVWAP indicates sellers are in control. By analyzing AVWAP, traders can make informed decisions on timing entries, managing losses and profits, or deciding to stay on the sidelines during periods of market indecision.
Tight Weeks And Up Weeks
William O'Neil primarily focused on weekly charts. Two common patterns he looked for were tight weeks and up weeks.
Tight weeks occur when there are small variations in price from one week to the next. This indicates a lack of supply and accumulation by institutions. You can configure the minimum number of weeks and the maximum % change in price from week to week.
Up weeks are defined as multiple weeks where each close is higher than the previous week. This pattern is often a signal of institutional buying. At a minimum, O'Neil looked for three weeks of upward price action. You can configure the minimum number of up weeks required.
Flat Base
A flat based is relatively tight price action within a range. A flat base takes 5+ weeks (25+ days) to form. Although flat bases are often found after a more significant advance in price, this isn't always the case. With that in mind, LevelUp does not currently have requirements for a prior uptrend while scanning for flat bases.
In a flat base, price declines should be no more than 15% from intraday peak to trough. This is an important distinction, as with a consolidation (see below) the maximum depth is based on the high of first bar that started the base.
Default Requirements:
▪ Daily minimum length: 25 days.
▪ Weekly minimum length: 5 weeks.
▪ Depth maximum: 15% (daily or weekly).
Consolidation
A consolidation differs from a flat base in that the former can be much deeper and last longer. In addition, the fluctuations in price of a flat base are often tighter than a consolidation.
Unlike a flat base, the maximum depth is calculated from the high at the start of the consolidation. The minimum length and maximum depth can be customized for all flat base and consolidation patterns.
Default Requirements:
▪ Daily minimum length: 30 days.
▪ Weekly minimum length: 6 weeks.
▪ Depth maximum: 35% (daily or weekly).
Pullback In Price And Potential Bounce
A pullback occurs when the price declines after an initial advance. This is normal price action as prior support levels are tested. Pullbacks also act as a way to shakeout weak holders before the primary trend resumes.
With LevelUp you specify the type of pullback to track: lower lows, lower closes or both. You also set the minimum number of bars required. Different values can be set for daily and weekly charts. Once your requirements are met, LevelUp will highlight the bar after the pullback is complete. This is often a potential entry/add point.
52-Week Highs
A 52-week high refers to the highest closing price within the past 52 weeks. Trend followers often use the 52-week high as a signal to identify assets with upward momentum, considering it as an indication of a potential trend continuation. This approach assumes that assets that have reached a 52-week high are more likely to experience further price appreciation.
52-week highs can be shown on both weekly and daily charts. You can set the location where the 52-week high symbol is shown: above the bar, below the bar, at the top of the chart or at the bottom of the chart.
Marked Highs And Lows
Marked highs/lows, often referred to as pivot highs/lows, can be helpful to find areas of potential support and resistance. As defined by William O'Neil, on a daily chart, a marked high is the highest high going back nine bars and forward nine bars. The number of days forward/backward is referred to as the period. The same concept applies to finding marked lows.
One benefit of LevelUp marked highs/lows is that you can customize the high and low periods on all timeframes.
There is an additional option when viewing marked highs/lows to see where a breakout occurs. The highlight is shown if the current bar high is above the most recent pivot high.
Comparing Stock Performance
With two or more copies of LevelUp installed, you can configure different settings and compare and contrast how indicators and signals perform relative to one another.
This is a great way to come up with your own custom layout for each timeframe, tailored to your preferences and trading style.
Stats And The Signals Table
The stats and signal tables can be very helpful to see price information and patterns at a glance. For example, you can quickly determine potential stoploss placement based on the distance to/from a moving average. The signals tables show the status of several key trend indicators, including 52-week highs, RS Line new high and RS Line new high before price.
Managing Long Term Trends
Depending on your trading style, there are many ways to take advantage of long term trends. For example, the chart that follows show how an uptrend can be a profitable trade whether holding for the duration or taking shorter term trades along the way.

Power Trend - Spot Powerful UptrendsWhen a Power Trend is active, there is a stronger than usual uptrend underway. The concept of a Power Trend was defined by Investor's Business Daily, more specifically, the Market School course designed to mimic the trading style of IBD's Founder, William O'Neil.
The specifics of a Power Trend were defined by Mike Webster, Justin Nielsen and Charles Harris, while working with William O'Neil at IBD. The uptrends of the Nasdaq Composite were studied in great detail, looking for characteristics that were similar across significant uptrends. The end result was a set of rules that define when a Power Trend starts and ends.
Knowing that there is a Power Trend in play can be helpful to gauge how aggressive to be with your trades.
The price action in a major index, such as the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC), is the source for determining a Power Trend's status. Using an index is based on the definition of a Power Trend from Market School. With this indicator, in addition to indexes, it will allow an ETF (more specifically, a "fund" as defined by TradingView) to be used as the source. The reason for the latter is that various ETFs such as ARKK, which are focused on "disruptive technology," can be helpful to track trends for growth traders.
What Starts a Power Trend?
▪ Low is above the 21-day EMA for at least 10 days.
▪ 21-day EMA is above the 50-day SMA for at least five days.
▪ 50-day SMA is in an uptrend.
▪ Close up for the day.
What Ends a Power Trend?
▪ 21-day EMA crosses under 50-day SMA.
▪ Close 10% below recent high and below the 50-day SMA.
Show Power Trend Status
This indicator has two options to highlight each day of the Power Trend:
▪ Symbol over each bar.
▪ Symbol across the bottom of the chart for each day in a Power Trend.
How Does a Power Trend End?
One way for a Power Trend to end is when the 21-day EMA crosses under the 50-day SMA.
There are also "circuit-breaker" rules that result in the a Power Trend ending. For example, when the price breaks below the 50-day SMA and closes 10% or more from a recent high.
Important Notes
As designed and implemented by William O'Neil, Power Trends are only shown on a daily chart.

IBD Power Trend is an indicator created by TintinTrading inspired by the Investor's Business Daily and William O'Neil's investment philosophy. It is part of the Market School methodology.. It's built on the principle that the market's Power Trend is the best time to get aggressive.
💪 What it does
IBD Power Trend helps traders identify when the market's Power Trend starts and finishes. The indicator uses rules about the position of the price relative to the 21EMA and 50SMA, as well as the relationship between the two moving averages, to give traders an edge.
👨🏫 How to use it
IBD Power Trend can be used as an additional criteria to decide when to get more aggressive in the market. It can also be used to assess when to be a pig/tiger. With IBD Power Trend, traders can have more confidence in their trades and make better investment decisions.
TradeChartist TrendStalker - Market Bias Indicator™TradeChartist TrendStalker helps visualise the Market Bias through 3 different Plot types and also displays Trend Direction Identifier (Green, Red and Orange square blocks) that can be connected to ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade to generate Trade entries, Targets, StopLoss and create alerts based on performance on the chosen timeframe. The three plot types are as below.
1. Market Bias Strength Oscillator
Plots true strength of Market Bias - helps determine if Market is Bullish/Bearish overall for the asset on chart TF.
2. Market Bias Detector - Range Based
Displays TrendStalker plots stalking the Market Bias based on Range the Market is expecting to gain/lose from the asset on the Chart Timeframe. Change in Market Bias can be easily seen through the Convergence/Divergence of the TrendStalker plots.
3. Market Bias Detector - Price
Displays TrendStalker plots stalking the Market Bias based on Price for the asset on the Chart Timeframe. Change in Market Bias can be easily seen through the Convergence/Divergence of the TrendStalker plots.
Note: Trend Direction Identifier for Trade entries will be the same for Market Bias Detector plots, but differs from Market Bias Strength Oscillator.
Note: Trend Direction Identifier plots orange squares when its detecting a potential change in trend and its recommended to close some/most of the position or move Stop Loss to protect profit/reduce risk. Once the orange squares turn back into green/red squares, it signals safe re-entry.
Green squares - Bullish Trend
Red Squares - Bearish Trend
Orange Squares - Potential change in Market Bias

TradeChartist PowerTracer ProTradeChartist PowerTracer Pro is an exceptionally well designed and a functional indicator, requiring minimal user input to trace the asset's Bull and Bear Power. The indicator makes it visually engaging with its intelligent positioning of the PowerTracer Bar, tracking not just the current trend, but also the developing trend using visually easy to understand Power plots. PowerTracer Pro can be used with PowerTrader Pro to generate Trade signals with several possible combinations of settings based on PowerTracer Pro Backtester Performance results.
What does ™TradeChartist PowerTracer Pro do?
1. Tracks Bull and Bear Power and plots the information visually on chart using one of the following 2 Power plot options based on Timeframe Multiplier and Smoothing Factor..
𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿 - Plot of the Bull and Bear Power Oscillator, pivotal to this script that tracks the true Bull and Bear Power along with Bull/Bear oscillator reading, calculated dynamically using a unique and original formula. Values beyond 50 and -50 are quite rare, but theoretically, they can go beyond 80 and -80. 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿's highs and lows are also tracked and updated real-time using labels placed exactly at the Highs and Lows with their readings.
Bar-wise Power Holder - Absolute Bull and Bear power of each bar. It is plotted by calculating the difference between Bull and Bear Power of each bar. The values can swing between -100 and +100 even though values above 90 and below 90 are rare.
2. Visually displays the Balance of Power between the Bulls and the Bears using Power density background fill.
3. Uses an accompanying 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿 bar that helps spot the true bull and bear power using simple linear blocks, displaying the power level using power intensity colors.
4. Paints price bars and PowerTracer background using Power intensity colors, which helps spot the increase or decrease in Bull and Bear Power. Price bar color changes are based on increasing/decreasing power intensity of the price bar's power holder and may not be the same as the Power plots. This is designed specifically to spot price trends based on chart timeframe power trend.
5. Inverts bar colors, and PowerTracer bar color to help see price trend using the Opponent's Point of View.
What markets can this indicator be used on?
-- Forex
-- Stocks - works best with 4hr or above and prices calculated taking gaps into account.
-- Commodities
-- Cryptocurrencies
and almost any asset on Trading View
What time-frames can this indicator be used on?
This indicator can be used on all timeframes. If the asset has very little volume / volatility or is far low in comparative value against the base currency, power detection can be choppy, but with most assets, this won't be an issue.
Does this indicator repaint?
-- No. Real-time Power plots can change colors and values based on current bar close as values get calculated dynamically. Once the bar closes, plots and power intensity colors don't repaint.
-- This can be verified using Bar Replay to check if the plots and fills stay in the same bar in real time as the Bar Replay
Does the indicator generate trade signals based on Power shifts?
Yes. PowerTracer Pro can be connected to PowerTrader Pro to generate BUY and SELL signals with automatic/user specified targets on the main price chart along with Fixed or Trailing Stop Loss plots based on the Power Plot opted by the user. PowerTrader Pro is highly recommended for traders who would like signals based on power trend on the main price chart as it comes with real time Dashboard and Gains tracker with the option to plot past performance displaying Max gains and Max Drawdowns for each trade. It also includes SL/TP Plots and Alerts system that can be used to automate trades based on settings that result in high ROI on PowerTracer Pro Backtester performance report.

TradeChartist PowerTracer™TradeChartist PowerTracer is an exceptionally well designed and functional indicator, requiring minimal user input to trace the asset's Bull and Bear Power. The indicator makes it visually engaging with its various color schemes and intelligent positioning of the PowerTracer Bar, tracking not just the current trend, but also the developing trend using a visually easy to understand Power plots.
What does ™TradeChartist PowerTracer do?
1. Tracks Bull and Bear Power and plots the information visually on chart using one of the following 3 Power plot options based on high or low power detection sensitivity.
𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿 - Plot of the Bull and Bear Power Oscillator, pivotal to this script that tracks the true Bull and Bear Power along with Bull/Bear oscillator reading, calculated dynamically using a unique and original formula. Values beyond 50 and -50 are quite rare, but theoretically, they can go beyond 80 and -80. 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿's highs and lows are also tracked and updated real-time using labels placed exactly at the Highs and Lows with their readings.
Bar-wise Power Holder - Absolute Bull and Bear power of each bar. It is plotted by calculating the difference between Bull and Bear Power or each bar. The values can swing between -100 and +100 even though values above 90 and below 90 are rare. The bar color on the chart will be painted using this value to visually display the Bull/Bear strength if "Paint Bars on Chart" is enabled from the indicator settings.
Bar-wise Power Fight - Plot of Maximum Bull and Bear Power of every bar that helps visualize the fight between Bulls and Bears in each bar.
2. Visually displays the Balance of Power between the Bulls and the Bears using Opponent Power Gain background fill when it is 50% or over. For example, if the current PowerTracer plot is a Bull zone, enabling this setting with Opponent Power Gain % set at 75, will paint the background when Bear Power increases beyond 75% using the Bear Power Intensity fill based on Color Scheme the user opts from the settings. This option can be enabled or disabled from settings and the Opponent Power gain % (minimum 50%) can also be adjusted to spot the change in price trend early on.
3. Uses an accompanying 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿 bar that helps spot the true bull and bear power using simple linear blocks, displaying the power level using power intensity colors based on the color scheme.
4. Paints price bars and PowerTracer background using Power intensity colors based on Color Scheme from the indicator settings, which helps spot the increase or decrease in Bull and Bear Power.
5. Inverts bar colors, background fill and PowerTracer bar color to help see price using the Opponent's Point of View.
What markets can this indicator be used on?
-- Forex
-- Stocks - works best with 4hr or above and prices calculated taking gaps into account.
-- Commodities
-- Cryptocurrencies
and almost any asset on Trading View
What time-frames can this indicator be used on?
This indicator can be used on all timeframes. If the asset has very little volume/volatility or is far low in comparative value against the base currency, power detection can be choppy, but with most assets, this won't be an issue.
Does this indicator repaint?
-- No. Real-time Power plots can change colors and values based on current bar close as values get calculated dynamically. Once the bar closes, plots and power intensity colors don't repaint.
-- This can be verified using Bar Replay to check if the plots and fills stay in the same bar in real time as the Bar Replay
Does the indicator send alerts when the power shifts from Bull to Bear or from Bear to Bull?
Yes. Users can get alerts when Power gets shifted using Trading View alerts. This can be done by choosing '™TradeChartist PowerTracer' and 'Powershift to Bulls' or 'Powershift to Bears' under Trading View Alert condition and by using 'Once per bar close' as user needs to wait for candle close for Power shift confirmation.
Example Charts
In this split screen chart of Bitcoin, it can be seen how the 30m chart on left is Bearish and 5m chart on right is Bullish based on Power changes. The trend can be spotted on PowerTracer by spotting the Opponent's background fill that started showing when Opponent's power gained by over 75%. This is a good example using the script for scalping/swing trading using 2 timeframes. Note that the chart on the left shows Price bars and PowerTracer bar with inverted colors to show Opponent's point of view.
In this 15m chart of GBP-USD, 100% Power gain for Entries and Exits is used. This is a more conservative approach and is suited for less aggressive traders based on complete change of trend.
In this 2hr chart of Ethereum, all 3 Power plots are used to identify the trend using low sensitivity using 100% Power Gain entries and this shows how a trade can be held longer to maximise gains using entries with Power shift confirmations.
