Wall Street Cheat Sheet Indicator

24 May

The Wall Street Cheat Sheet Indicator is a unique tool designed to help traders identify the psychological stages of the market cycle based on the well-known Wall Street Cheat Sheet. This indicator integrates moving averages and RSI to dynamically label market stages, providing clear visual cues on the chart.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Stage Identification: The indicator automatically detects and labels market stages such as Disbelief, Hope, Optimism, Belief, Thrill, Euphoria, Complacency, Anxiety, Denial, Panic, Capitulation, Anger, and Depression. These stages are derived from the emotional phases of market participants, helping traders anticipate market movements.
  

• Technical Indicators: The script uses two key technical indicators:
  

• 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA): Helps identify long-term market trends.
  
• 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA): Aids in recognizing medium-term trends.
  
• Relative Strength Index (RSI): Assesses the momentum and potential reversal points based on overbought and oversold conditions.
  

• Clear Visual Labels: The current market stage is displayed directly on the chart, making it easy to spot trends and potential turning points.
  

Usefulness:
This indicator is not just a simple mashup of existing tools. It uniquely combines the concept of market psychology with practical technical analysis tools (moving averages and RSI). By labeling the psychological stages of the market cycle, it provides traders with a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential future movements.

How It Works:

• Disbelief: Detected when the price is below the 200-day SMA and RSI is in the oversold territory, indicating a potential bottom.
  
• Hope: Triggered when the price crosses above the 50-day SMA, with RSI starting to rise but still below 50, suggesting an early uptrend.
  
• Optimism: Occurs when the price is above the 50-day SMA and RSI is between 50 and 70, indicating a strengthening trend.
  
• Belief: When the price is well above the 50-day SMA and RSI is between 70 and 80, showing strong bullish momentum.
  
• Thrill and Euphoria: Identified when RSI exceeds 80, indicating overbought conditions and potential for a peak.
  
• Complacency to Depression: These stages are identified based on price corrections and drops relative to moving averages and declining RSI values.
  

Best Practices:

• High-Time Frame Focus: This indicator works best on high-time frame charts, specifically the 1-week Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) chart. The longer time frame provides a clearer picture of the overall market cycle and reduces noise.
  
• Trend Confirmation: Use in conjunction with other technical analysis tools such as trendlines, Fibonacci retracement levels, and support/resistance zones for more robust trading strategies.
  

How to Use:

1. Add the Indicator: Apply the Wall Street Cheat Sheet Indicator to your TradingView chart.
   
2. Analyze Market Stages: Observe the dynamic labels indicating the current stage of the market cycle.
   
3. Make Informed Decisions: Use the insights from the indicator to time your entries and exits, aligning your trades with the market sentiment.
   

This indicator is a valuable tool for traders looking to understand market psychology and make informed trading decisions based on the stages of the market cycle.
