Joel Greenblatt Magic FormulaJoel Greenblatt Magic Formula. I always wanted to make this.
The Indicator shows 3 values.
ROC,EY,SUM.
ROC= Return On Capital.
EY=Earnings Yield
SUM= Addition of Two.
Formula:
ROC=EBIT / (Net Working Capital + Net Fixed Assets).
EY = EBIT / Enterprise value
Enterprise Value=(Market value of equity + Net Interest-bearing debt)
To implement the strategy, investors start by identifying a universe of stocks, typically large-cap or mid-cap companies that trade on a major stock exchange. Next, they rank the stocks based on their ROC and EY. The companies with the best combination of these two metrics are considered the best investments (based on this ranking).
For example, a stock that ranks 10th on EY and 99th on ROIC gets a value of 109. The two ranks are simply added together and all stocks are ranked on the sum of the two ranks. The stocks with the lowest values are best.

The Magic Formula strategy is a stock selection method popularized by Joel Greenblatt’s book The Little Book That Beats the Market.
It involves ranking companies based on Two factors:
A high return on capital and A high Earnings Yield.
The companies with the best combination of these two metrics are considered the best investments. The strategy aims to find undervalued companies with strong financials that have the potential for high returns over the long term.
Ranking
J_TPO Velocity VariationThis one is a very random indicator but with an excellent concept. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the origin of this indicator or who made it. Still, the first appearance was around 2004 on a Meta Trader forum. There are a lot of variations of the J_TPO indicator. One of them is the J_TPO Velocity. The difference from the original version is that it uses the price range of the latest candles to change the magnitude of the indicator value, but the concept is the same.
More info here
In its original form, an oscillator between -1 and +1 is a nonparametric statistic quantifying how well the prices are ordered in consecutive ups (+1) or downs (-1), or intermediate cases. The velocity variation adds the price range, and this script variation adds a baseline as a filter for the indicator. This indicator will work as a confirmation indicator. Using it with the trend filter will work as an entry indicator.
Besides the columns representing the indicator's values, 2 more signals will be printed on the chart. One is the middle cross, the other the kicking middle cross. The first will print a signal when the J_TPO crosses the middle line (0) in favor of the trend. A diamond will be printed when the baseline is above 0, and the cross is upwards. The inverse for crosses downwards. The other signal is the Kicking middle cross which will appear when the cross comes after an opposite cross. This will give only one signal per cross in the same direction, which may help identify earlier the trend direction.
