Strength/Weakness IndicatorThe Strength/Weakness Indicator is a customisable tool designed to help traders identify key areas of market strength and weakness based on the 50% Fibonacci retracement level .
█ Underlying Concept:
The concept behind this indicator draws heavily on the principles of Fibonacci retracement and WD Gann’s market theories , particularly the importance of the 50% level in signalling critical psychological areas of support and resistance. Historically, the 50% retracement level has been regarded as a key marker where markets either find new buyers/sellers or continue a trend. Gann himself placed significant emphasis on the halfway point of a previous market move as a critical level for market strength and reversal.
Strength : When an asset is trading above the 50% retracement level, it suggests that buyers are in control and that the market is showing strength. This is particularly useful for traders aiming to ride the continuation of an uptrend.
Weakness : Conversely, when the price falls below the 50% retracement level, it indicates that sellers are dominating, and the market is showing signs of weakness. This can be an early indication of a potential reversal or further decline.
█ Key Features:
1 — Multi-Timeframe Fibonacci Analysis :
This indicator supports up to two distinct retracement levels, allowing traders to analyse multiple timeframes simultaneously. Customise the look-back periods for each level to track the highest high and lowest low over your chosen period.
The tool is adaptable to short-term, swing trading, and long-term investing, making it useful across different trading styles.
2 — Dynamic Strength/Weakness Labelling :
The script dynamically calculates and displays whether the asset is “STRONG” or “WEAK” based on its position relative to the 50% retracement levels. If the price is above both levels, it is considered "VERY STRONG." Conversely, trading below both levels signals "VERY WEAK" conditions. This real-time feedback helps traders gauge market sentiment with ease.
3 — Customizable Visual Representation :
Both retracement levels are fully customisable, including line colours, styles, and thicknesses. The script offers custom background fills—highlighting areas of strength (green) and weakness (red)—to provide a clear visual aid for identifying key price zones.
Traders can modify the appearance of text labels (size, colour, position) and choose whether to extend lines left, right, both directions, or not at all.
4 — Cross-Timeframe Validation :
Traders can cross-reference price action between two timeframes to confirm trends. If both levels signal strength or weakness, it validates market momentum, increasing confidence in trade decisions.
5 — Strategic Decision-Making Aid :
The indicator aids in identifying support and resistance zones based on the 50% retracement level. Use it to time entries and exits effectively: price above the 50% level suggests potential trend continuation, while falling below may indicate reversal.
█ How It Works:
1 — Defining Custom Timeframes :
The trader selects custom time periods (days, weeks, months, or years) to calculate the highest high and lowest low, allowing precise control over the analysis.
2 — Calculating Strength/Weakness :
Once the 50% retracement level is calculated, the price’s position relative to it determines the market’s condition. Above 50% signals strength, below signals weakness.
3 — Comparing Multiple Timeframes :
Enable a second retracement level to compare different time periods. This feature is useful for spotting divergences between short-term and long-term trends or validating strength across timeframes.
█ How to Use:
1 — Assess Market Conditions :
If price trades above both 50% retracement levels, it indicates strong bullish momentum. Conversely, trading below both levels signals bearish conditions.
2 — Plan Entries/Exits :
Use the 50% level as a reference for support and resistance. Plan to enter when the price bounces off the 50% level, or exit if it breaks down below this critical level.
3 — Cross-Timeframe Analysis :
Validate the market trend by comparing retracement levels across different timeframes. This helps in confirming whether the trend is strong enough to justify holding a position.
█ Why This Indicator is Unique:
Comprehensive Multi-Timeframe Analysis : While most Fibonacci indicators focus on a single period, this tool provides a deeper understanding by allowing traders to compare price action across multiple timeframes.
Customizable and Dynamic : The real-time strength/weakness labeling, customizable background fills, and the ability to analyze two retracement levels simultaneously make this tool adaptable to any trading strategy.
Valuable for All Traders : Whether you are day trading, swing trading, or investing long-term, the Strength/Weakness Indicator offers clarity on key market levels and sentiment, improving decision-making for entries and exits.
Disclaimer : This script is for educational purposes and is not financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, so please consult a professional advisor before making investment decisions. For the best results, use this indicator alongside other technical analysis methods like trend lines or moving averages to help you confirm signals and make more informed decisions.

Sector relative strength and correlation by KaschkoThis script provides a quick overview of the relative strength and correlation of the symbols in a sector by showing a line chart of the close prices on a percent scale with all symbols starting at zero at the left side of the chart. It allows a great deal of flexibility in the configuration of the sectors and symbols in it. The standard preset sectors cover the most important futures markets and their symbols.
However, up to ten sectors with up to ten symbols each can be freely configured. Each sector is defined by a single line that has the following format:
Sector name:Symbol suffix:List of comma separated symbols
For example, the first predefined sector is defined as follows.
Energies:1!:CL,HO,NG,RB
1. The name of the sector is "Energies"
2. The suffix is "1!", i.e., to each symbol in the list "1!" is appended to get the continous future for the given symbol root. When using stock, forex or other symbols, simply leave the suffix empty.
3. The list of comma separated symbols is "CL,HO,NG,RB", i.e. crude oil, heating oil, natural gas and gasoline. As the suffix is "1!", the actual symbols whose prices are shown are "CL1!","HO1!","NG1!" and "RB1!"
You can choose to use settlement-as-close and back-adjusted contracts. The sector can also be determined automatically ("Auto-select"). In this case, it is determined to which sector the symbol currently displayed in the main chart belongs and the script displays it in the context of the other symbols in the sector.
By selecting a suitable chart time frame and time range, you can quickly determine which symbols in the sector are stronger or weaker and which are more or less strongly correlated.
The following symbols are best suited for a quick trial, as the sectors are preset for these:
CL1!,ES1!,6A1!,6B1!,6c1!,6E1!,6J1!,6M1!,6N1!,6S1!,GC1!,GF1!,HE1!,HG1!,HO1!,LBR1!,LE1!,NG1!,NQ1!,PA1!,PL1!,RB1!,SI1!,YM1!,ZB1!,ZC1!,ZF1!,ZL1!,ZM1!,ZN1!,ZO1!,ZR1!,ZS1!,ZT1!,ZW1!,CC1!,CT1!,DX1!,KC1!,OJ1!,SB1!,RTY1!
You can also use the script to compare any symbols (e.g. different shares) with each other. Preferably use the "Custom" sector for this.
Relative Strength/Weakness ArrowsHello everyone,
This Script is designed to show relative strength or relative weakness. It takes the stock your looking at and compares it to the sector it is in and to SPY. It evaluates strength or weakness on every candle. In this specific script it is only designed for the communications sector(XLC), so all the names I have inputted into the script fall within XLC. It works for all timeframes. It really helps me stay in trades longer as even though stock might be consolidating it can still be weak, making me more confident in holding. Each green arrow shows that the stock is relatively strong compared to SPY and its SECTOR, in this case, XLC. Each red arrow means that the stock is relatively weak to the market and its sector. When there are no arrows on the candles, then the stock is following the market and its sector. Tell me what yall think.
Just add it to your chart, go to any of the stocks within XLC and it will populate arrows based on relative strength and relative weakness. The weakness and strength is based on movement of price using ATR. So if the price of the stock is moving up and so is the sector it will only populate based on how large the move is. So if SPY had ATR of 1 and it moved up .50c that means the stock you're looking at would need to move more than .50c in the same candle if it also had an ATR or 1.
You can add or delete tickers in the code by going to the list of symbols and adding or removing them. Just remember that if you add a stock that doesn't fall within XLC then the arrows wont represent strength/weakness properly.
Market First Signals - Relative Strength/WeaknessThis market-first trading strategy gives BUY, SHORT, and CLOSE signals based on volume, trend, and relative strength or weakness to the market (SPY by default, can be customized). This indicator is useful for signaling day-trade entries and exits for tickers that are strong (or weak) against the market.
Stocks that are showing relative strength (or weakness) to the market, are trending, and have decent movement generate a buy (or short) signal. When the trend runs out, a CLOSE signal is fired.
Potential profit (based on ATR) and actual profit is calculated, predicting the type of move expected
Unique 'stay in trade' logic helps prevent unnecessary CLOSE signals if a trend is likely to continue
A colored plot indicates the strength of the current trend and turns orange/red when the strength is weakened.
Crypto traders can uncheck 'Trade during market hours' for 24-hour trading, and should change the comparison ticker from SPY to BTCUSD or something similar for their market.
Enjoy!
KEY CONCEPTS
The three- and five-minute timeframes are used to establish and verify trend (ADX/DI with custom logic)
Entries and exits are based on Parabolic SAR and confirmed on multiple timeframes, trend, and relative volume
Relative strength /weakness to the market compares ticker to SPY
Chop is avoided at all costs. I've experimented with choppiness indicator below 38, but found that the ADX DI+/- readings work even better.
Trend is established using ADX DI+/- readings over 20, confirmed by EMA 5/13 crossover and EMA5 slope
Signals will fire only if the average volume for the current 5-min bar is above normal
Only tickers with a five-bar / 13 period ATR of 1% the ticker's price generate signal.
Only longs above daily-anchored VWAP, shorts below daily-anchored VWAP
Signals fire on bar close to prevent repainting / look-ahead bias
Indicator labels and alerts generated
SIGNALS
BUY: up-trending tickers showing relative strength are bought on the three-minute PSAR
SELL: when the close price falls below the 1, 3, and 5-minute PSAR, or the ADX DI- falls below 20
SHORT: down-trending tickers with relative weakness are shorted on the three-minute PSAR
COVER: when the close price moves above the 1, 3, and 5-minute PSAR, or the ADX DI- falls below 20
ALERTS
Alerts are generated on BUY, SELL, SHORT, and COVER signals, as well as optional LOST RELATIVE STRENGTH and LOST RELATIVE WEAKNESS

(8) Closing Score VS-345Closing Score discloses to traders the sentiment of the traders in control of the current price. If we can accurately determine trader’s sentiment, we can determine where the market is heading.
Closing Score utilizes a very simple concept and formula to determine the trader's collective sentiment. The formula (((Close – Low) / (High – Low) * 100)) produces a range that is extracted from the true range of the stock’s activity. The High to the Low within the time frame / bars you have chosen. The final output of the formula produces a finite score, between 0 and 100 that indicates to the trader, what the sentiment of the traders where, at the conclusion of this bar or at the end of the trading day. This is displayed on a graph with 10 horizontal stratifications (shown below) each representing 1/10 of the indicators total range of 100. The final dots utilized to indicate the output of this indicator are then rounded to allow placement within the graphs stratification.
The closer the indicator's outputted signal comes to either extreme, zero or 100, the stronger the correlation is between the closing score and future price movements. 97 to 100 are very strong positive signals. 0 to 3 are very negative signals and both have been validated as statically significant, Three-Sigma-Signals. Additionally, we have added an interior band within the placement of the dots to indicate that their proximity is within 3% of the extreme reading of this indicator. If the volume is above the 14 day moving average it is indicated by placing a dot within the center of the indicator dots to denote a volume confirmation of this specific indicators signal. Dots that are both within the statistically relevant, extreme range and the volume for these bars were above the 14 day moving average produce a bulls-eye.
If you study or use candlestick analysis in your trading, you can think of Closing Score as an automatic candle stick analysis tool. Take a look at any candlestick pattern and compare the point of the closes in that pattern with its corresponding closing score and you will see a very strong correlation, greater than 95%, between what the Closing Score indicates and what the candlestick pattern is indicating.

Relative Strength IndexEvery developer must create his own Relative Strength Index with midline and other features).
In addition to the midline, highlighting and levels customization I give you ability to play with non-standard sources like On Balance Volume.
If someone doesn't know what is this:
This indicator was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder and was described in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" (1978). It is intended to measure the strength or weakness of an instrument for the specified period.
RSI is a momentum oscillator and can have a reading from 0 to 100. The values of 70 or above indicate that an instrument is becoming overbought or overvalued and may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price. The values of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition.
The other significant signals are divergences with price and middle line crossovers. RSI if one the most used indicators on the planet.
Enjoy and good luck!
