Pair TradingPAIR TRADING
Description:
This indicator is a simple and intuitive tool for rotating between two assets based on their relative price ratio. By comparing the prices of Asset A and Asset B, it plots a “ratio line” (gray) with dynamic upper and lower boundaries (red and blue).
When the ratio reaches the red line, Asset A is expensive → rotate out of A and into B.
When the ratio touches the blue line, Asset A is cheap → rotate back into A.
The chart also shows:
🔹 Background highlights for visual cues
🔹 “Rotate to A” or “Rotate to B” markers for easy decisions
🔹 A live summary table with mean ratio, upper/lower boundaries, and current ratio
How to Use:
Select Asset A and Asset B in the settings.
Adjust the Lookback Period and Threshold if needed.
Watch the gray ratio line as it moves:
Above red line? → Consider rotating into B
Below blue line? → Consider rotating into A
Use the background color changes and rotation labels to spot clear rotation opportunities!
Why Pair Trading?
Pair trading is a powerful way to manage a portfolio because it neutralizes market direction risk and focuses on relative value.
By rotating between correlated assets, you can:
Smooth out returns
Avoid holding a weak asset too long
Capture reversion when assets diverge too far
This approach can enhance risk-adjusted returns and help keep your portfolio balanced and nimble!
How to Pick Pairs:
Choose assets with strong correlation or similar drivers.
Look for common trends (sector, macro).
Start with assets you know best (high-conviction ideas).
Make sure both have good liquidity for reliable trading!
TO HELP FIND CORRELATED ASSETS:
Use the Correlation Coefficient indicator in TradingView:
Click Indicators
Search for “Correlation Coefficient”
Add it to your chart
Input the symbol of the second asset (e.g., if you’re on MSTR, input TSLA).
This plots the rolling correlation coefficient — super helpful!
Pair trading can turn big swings into steady rotations and help you stay active even when the market is choppy. It’s a simple, practical approach to keep your portfolio balanced.

40 Ticker Cross-Sectional Z-Scores [BackQuant]40 Ticker Cross-Sectional Z-Scores
BackQuant’s 40 Ticker Cross-Sectional Z-Scores is a powerful portfolio management strategy that analyzes the relative performance of up to 40 different assets, comparing them on a cross-sectional basis to identify the top and bottom performers. This indicator computes Z-scores for each asset based on their log returns and evaluates them relative to the mean and standard deviation over a rolling window. The Z-scores represent how far an asset's return deviates from the average, and these values are used to rank the assets, allowing for dynamic asset allocation based on performance.
By focusing on the strongest-performing assets and avoiding the weakest, this strategy aims to enhance returns while managing risk. Additionally, by adjusting for standard deviations, the system offers a risk-adjusted method of ranking assets, making it suitable for traders who want to dynamically allocate capital based on performance metrics rather than just price movements.
Key Features
1. Cross-Sectional Z-Score Calculation:
The system calculates Z-scores for 40 different assets, evaluating their log returns against the mean and standard deviation over a rolling window. This enables users to assess the relative performance of each asset dynamically, highlighting which assets are performing better or worse compared to their historical norms. The Z-score is a useful statistical tool for identifying outliers in asset performance.
2. Asset Ranking and Allocation:
The system ranks assets based on their Z-scores and allocates capital to the top performers. It identifies the top and bottom assets, and traders can allocate capital to the top-performing assets, ensuring that their portfolio is aligned with the best performers. Conversely, the bottom assets are removed from the portfolio, reducing exposure to underperforming assets.
3. Rolling Window for Mean and Standard Deviation Calculations:
The Z-scores are calculated based on rolling means and standard deviations, making the system adaptive to changing market conditions. This rolling calculation window allows the strategy to adjust to recent performance trends and minimize the impact of outdated data.
4. Mean and Standard Deviation Visualization:
The script provides real-time visualizations of the mean (x̄) and standard deviation (σ) of asset returns, helping traders quickly identify trends and volatility in their portfolio. These visual indicators are useful for understanding the current market environment and making more informed allocation decisions.
5. Top & Bottom Performer Tables:
The system generates tables that display the top and bottom performers, ranked by their Z-scores. Traders can quickly see which assets are outperforming and underperforming. These tables provide clear and actionable insights, helping traders make informed decisions about which assets to include in their portfolio.
6. Customizable Parameters:
The strategy allows traders to customize several key parameters, including:
Rolling Calculation Window: Set the window size for the rolling mean and standard deviation calculations.
Top & Bottom Tickers: Choose how many of the top and bottom assets to display and allocate capital to.
Table Orientation: Select between vertical or horizontal table formats to suit the user’s preference.
7. Forward Test & Out-of-Sample Testing:
The system includes out-of-sample forward tests, ensuring that the strategy is evaluated based on real-time performance, not just historical data. This forward testing approach helps validate the robustness of the strategy in dynamic market conditions.
8. Visual Feedback and Alerts:
The system provides visual feedback on the current asset rankings and allocations, with dynamic labels and plots on the chart. Additionally, users receive alerts when allocations change, keeping them informed of important adjustments.
9. Risk Management via Z-Scores and Std Dev:
The system’s approach to asset selection is based on Z-scores, which normalize performance relative to the historical mean. By incorporating standard deviation, it accounts for the volatility and risk associated with each asset. This allows for more precise risk management and portfolio construction.
10. Note on Mean Reversion Strategy:
If you take the inverse of the signals provided by this indicator, the strategy can be used for mean-reversion rather than trend-following. This would involve buying the underperforming assets and selling the outperforming ones. However, it's important to note that this approach does not work well with highly correlated assets, as the relationship between the assets could result in the same directional movement, undermining the effectiveness of the mean-reversion strategy.

Final Thoughts
The 40 Ticker Cross-Sectional Z-Scores strategy offers a data-driven approach to portfolio management, dynamically allocating capital based on the relative performance of assets. By using Z-scores and standard deviations, this strategy ensures that capital is directed to the strongest performers while avoiding weaker assets, ultimately improving the risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio. Whether you’re focused on trend-following or looking to explore mean-reversion strategies, this flexible system can be tailored to suit your investment goals.
Performance Metrics With Bracketed Rebalacing [BackQuant]Performance Metrics With Bracketed Rebalancing
The Performance Metrics With Bracketed Rebalancing script offers a robust method for assessing portfolio performance, integrating advanced portfolio metrics with different rebalancing strategies. With a focus on adaptability, the script allows traders to monitor and adjust portfolio weights, equity, and other key financial metrics dynamically. This script provides a versatile approach for evaluating different trading strategies, considering factors like risk-adjusted returns, volatility, and the impact of portfolio rebalancing.
Please take the time to read the following:
Key Features and Benefits of Portfolio Methods
Bracketed Rebalancing:
Bracketed Rebalancing is an advanced strategy designed to trigger portfolio adjustments when an asset's weight surpasses a predefined threshold. This approach minimizes overexposure to any single asset while maintaining flexibility in response to market changes. The strategy is particularly beneficial for mitigating risks that arise from significant asset weight fluctuations. The following image illustrates how this method reacts when asset weights cross the threshold:
Daily Rebalancing:
Unlike the bracketed method, Daily Rebalancing adjusts portfolio weights every trading day, ensuring consistent asset allocation. This method aims for a more even distribution of portfolio weights, making it a suitable option for traders who prefer less sensitivity to individual asset volatility. Here's an example of Daily Rebalancing in action:
No Rebalancing:
For traders who prefer a passive approach, the "No Rebalancing" option allows the portfolio to remain static, without any adjustments to asset weights. This method may appeal to long-term investors or those who believe in the inherent stability of their selected assets. Here’s how the portfolio looks when no rebalancing is applied:
Portfolio Weights Visualization:
One of the standout features of this script is the visual representation of portfolio weights. With adjustable settings, users can track the current allocation of assets in real-time, making it easier to analyze shifts and trends. The following image shows the real-time weight distribution across three assets:
Rolling Drawdown Plot:
Managing drawdown risk is a critical aspect of portfolio management. The Rolling Drawdown Plot visually tracks the drawdown over time, helping traders monitor the risk exposure and performance relative to the peak equity levels. This feature is essential for assessing the portfolio's resilience during market downturns:
Daily Portfolio Returns:
Tracking daily returns is crucial for evaluating the short-term performance of the portfolio. The script allows users to plot daily portfolio returns to gain insights into daily profit or loss, helping traders stay updated on their portfolio’s progress:
Performance Metrics
Net Profit (%):
This metric represents the total return on investment as a percentage of the initial capital. A positive net profit indicates that the portfolio has gained value over the evaluation period, while a negative value suggests a loss. It's a fundamental indicator of overall portfolio performance.
Maximum Drawdown (Max DD):
Maximum Drawdown measures the largest peak-to-trough decline in portfolio value during a specified period. It quantifies the most significant loss an investor would have experienced if they had invested at the highest point and sold at the lowest point within the timeframe. A smaller Max DD indicates better risk management and less exposure to significant losses.
Annual Mean Returns (% p/y):
This metric calculates the average annual return of the portfolio over the evaluation period. It provides insight into the portfolio's ability to generate returns on an annual basis, aiding in performance comparison with other investment opportunities.
Annual Standard Deviation of Returns (% p/y):
This measure indicates the volatility of the portfolio's returns on an annual basis. A higher standard deviation signifies greater variability in returns, implying higher risk, while a lower value suggests more stable returns.
Variance:
Variance is the square of the standard deviation and provides a measure of the dispersion of returns. It helps in understanding the degree of risk associated with the portfolio's returns.
Sortino Ratio:
The Sortino Ratio is a variation of the Sharpe Ratio that only considers downside risk, focusing on negative volatility. It is calculated as the difference between the portfolio's return and the minimum acceptable return (MAR), divided by the downside deviation. A higher Sortino Ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, emphasizing the importance of avoiding negative returns.
Sharpe Ratio:
The Sharpe Ratio measures the portfolio's excess return per unit of total risk, as represented by standard deviation. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the portfolio's return and dividing by the standard deviation of the portfolio's excess return. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates more favorable risk-adjusted returns.
Omega Ratio:
The Omega Ratio evaluates the probability of achieving returns above a certain threshold relative to the probability of experiencing returns below that threshold. It is calculated by dividing the cumulative probability of positive returns by the cumulative probability of negative returns. An Omega Ratio greater than 1 indicates a higher likelihood of achieving favorable returns.
Gain-to-Pain Ratio:
The Gain-to-Pain Ratio measures the return per unit of risk, focusing on the magnitude of gains relative to the severity of losses. It is calculated by dividing the total gains by the total losses experienced during the evaluation period. A higher ratio suggests a more favorable balance between reward and risk.

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) (% p/y):
CAGR represents the mean annual growth rate of the portfolio over a specified period, assuming the investment has been compounding over that time. It provides a smoothed annual rate of growth, eliminating the effects of volatility and offering a clearer picture of long-term performance.
Portfolio Alpha (% p/y):
Portfolio Alpha measures the portfolio's performance relative to a benchmark index, adjusting for risk. It is calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and represents the excess return of the portfolio over the expected return based on its beta and the benchmark's performance. A positive alpha indicates outperformance, while a negative alpha suggests underperformance.
Portfolio Beta:
Portfolio Beta assesses the portfolio's sensitivity to market movements, indicating its exposure to systematic risk. A beta greater than 1 suggests the portfolio is more volatile than the market, while a beta less than 1 indicates lower volatility. Beta is used to understand the portfolio's potential for gains or losses in relation to market fluctuations.
Skewness of Returns:
Skewness measures the asymmetry of the return distribution. A positive skew indicates a distribution with a long right tail, suggesting more frequent small losses and fewer large gains. A negative skew indicates a long left tail, implying more frequent small gains and fewer large losses. Understanding skewness helps in assessing the likelihood of extreme outcomes.
Value at Risk (VaR) 95th Percentile:
VaR at the 95th percentile estimates the maximum potential loss over a specified period, given a 95% confidence level. It provides a threshold value such that there is a 95% probability that the portfolio will not experience a loss greater than this amount.
Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR):
CVaR, also known as Expected Shortfall, measures the average loss exceeding the VaR threshold. It provides insight into the tail risk of the portfolio, indicating the expected loss in the worst-case scenarios beyond the VaR level.
These metrics collectively offer a comprehensive view of the portfolio's performance, risk exposure, and efficiency. By analyzing these indicators, investors can make informed decisions, balancing potential returns with acceptable levels of risk.
Conclusion
The Performance Metrics With Bracketed Rebalancing script provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating and optimizing portfolio performance. By integrating advanced metrics, adaptive rebalancing strategies, and visual analytics, it empowers traders to make informed decisions in managing their investment portfolios. However, it's crucial to consider the implications of rebalancing strategies, as academic research indicates that predictable rebalancing can lead to market impact costs. Therefore, adopting flexible and less predictable rebalancing approaches may enhance portfolio performance and reduce associated costs.

Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator# Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator (RAMO): Momentum Analysis with Integrated Risk Assessment
## 1. Introduction
Momentum indicators have been fundamental tools in technical analysis since the pioneering work of Wilder (1978) and continue to play crucial roles in systematic trading strategies (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993). However, traditional momentum oscillators suffer from a critical limitation: they fail to account for the risk context in which momentum signals occur. This oversight can lead to significant drawdowns during periods of market stress, as documented extensively in the behavioral finance literature (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979; Shefrin & Statman, 1985).
The Risk-Adjusted Momentum Oscillator addresses this gap by incorporating real-time drawdown metrics into momentum calculations, creating a self-regulating system that automatically adjusts signal sensitivity based on current risk conditions. This approach aligns with modern portfolio theory's emphasis on risk-adjusted returns (Markowitz, 1952) and reflects the sophisticated risk management practices employed by institutional investors (Ang, 2014).
## 2. Theoretical Foundation
### 2.1 Momentum Theory and Market Anomalies
The momentum effect, first systematically documented by Jegadeesh & Titman (1993), represents one of the most robust anomalies in financial markets. Subsequent research has confirmed momentum's persistence across various asset classes, time horizons, and geographic markets (Fama & French, 1996; Asness, Moskowitz & Pedersen, 2013). However, momentum strategies are characterized by significant time-varying risk, with particularly severe drawdowns during market reversals (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
### 2.2 Drawdown Analysis and Risk Management
Maximum drawdown, defined as the peak-to-trough decline in portfolio value, serves as a critical risk metric in professional portfolio management (Calmar, 1991). Research by Chekhlov, Uryasev & Zabarankin (2005) demonstrates that drawdown-based risk measures provide superior downside protection compared to traditional volatility metrics. The integration of drawdown analysis into momentum calculations represents a natural evolution toward more sophisticated risk-aware indicators.
### 2.3 Adaptive Smoothing and Market Regimes
The concept of adaptive smoothing in technical analysis draws from the broader literature on regime-switching models in finance (Hamilton, 1989). Perry Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (1995) pioneered the application of efficiency ratios to adjust indicator responsiveness based on market conditions. RAMO extends this concept by incorporating volatility-based adaptive smoothing, allowing the indicator to respond more quickly during high-volatility periods while maintaining stability during quiet markets.
## 3. Methodology
### 3.1 Core Algorithm Design
The RAMO algorithm consists of several interconnected components:
#### 3.1.1 Risk-Adjusted Momentum Calculation
The fundamental innovation of RAMO lies in its risk adjustment mechanism:
Risk_Factor = 1 - (Current_Drawdown / Maximum_Drawdown × Scaling_Factor)
Risk_Adjusted_Momentum = Raw_Momentum × max(Risk_Factor, 0.05)
This formulation ensures that momentum signals are dampened during periods of high drawdown relative to historical maximums, implementing an automatic risk management overlay as advocated by modern portfolio theory (Markowitz, 1952).
#### 3.1.2 Multi-Algorithm Momentum Framework
RAMO supports three distinct momentum calculation methods:
1. Rate of Change: Traditional percentage-based momentum (Pring, 2002)
2. Price Momentum: Absolute price differences
3. Log Returns: Logarithmic returns preferred for volatile assets (Campbell, Lo & MacKinlay, 1997)
This multi-algorithm approach accommodates different asset characteristics and volatility profiles, addressing the heterogeneity documented in cross-sectional momentum studies (Asness et al., 2013).
### 3.2 Leading Indicator Components
#### 3.2.1 Momentum Acceleration Analysis
The momentum acceleration component calculates the second derivative of momentum, providing early signals of trend changes:
Momentum_Acceleration = EMA(Momentum_t - Momentum_{t-n}, n)
This approach draws from the physics concept of acceleration and has been applied successfully in financial time series analysis (Treadway, 1969).
#### 3.2.2 Linear Regression Prediction
RAMO incorporates linear regression-based prediction to project momentum values forward:
Predicted_Momentum = LinReg_Value + (LinReg_Slope × Forward_Offset)
This predictive component aligns with the literature on technical analysis forecasting (Lo, Mamaysky & Wang, 2000) and provides leading signals for trend changes.
#### 3.2.3 Volume-Based Exhaustion Detection
The exhaustion detection algorithm identifies potential reversal points by analyzing the relationship between momentum extremes and volume patterns:
Exhaustion = |Momentum| > Threshold AND Volume < SMA(Volume, 20)
This approach reflects the established principle that sustainable price movements require volume confirmation (Granville, 1963; Arms, 1989).
### 3.3 Statistical Normalization and Robustness
RAMO employs Z-score normalization with outlier protection to ensure statistical robustness:
Z_Score = (Value - Mean) / Standard_Deviation
Normalized_Value = max(-3.5, min(3.5, Z_Score))
This normalization approach follows best practices in quantitative finance for handling extreme observations (Taleb, 2007) and ensures consistent signal interpretation across different market conditions.
### 3.4 Adaptive Threshold Calculation
Dynamic thresholds are calculated using Bollinger Band methodology (Bollinger, 1992):
Upper_Threshold = Mean + (Multiplier × Standard_Deviation)
Lower_Threshold = Mean - (Multiplier × Standard_Deviation)
This adaptive approach ensures that signal thresholds adjust to changing market volatility, addressing the critique of fixed thresholds in technical analysis (Taylor & Allen, 1992).
## 4. Implementation Details
### 4.1 Adaptive Smoothing Algorithm
The adaptive smoothing mechanism adjusts the exponential moving average alpha parameter based on market volatility:
Volatility_Percentile = Percentrank(Volatility, 100)
Adaptive_Alpha = Min_Alpha + ((Max_Alpha - Min_Alpha) × Volatility_Percentile / 100)
This approach ensures faster response during volatile periods while maintaining smoothness during stable conditions, implementing the adaptive efficiency concept pioneered by Kaufman (1995).
### 4.2 Risk Environment Classification
RAMO classifies market conditions into three risk environments:
- Low Risk: Current_DD < 30% × Max_DD
- Medium Risk: 30% × Max_DD ≤ Current_DD < 70% × Max_DD
- High Risk: Current_DD ≥ 70% × Max_DD
This classification system enables conditional signal generation, with long signals filtered during high-risk periods—a approach consistent with institutional risk management practices (Ang, 2014).
## 5. Signal Generation and Interpretation
### 5.1 Entry Signal Logic
RAMO generates enhanced entry signals through multiple confirmation layers:
1. Primary Signal: Crossover between indicator and signal line
2. Risk Filter: Confirmation of favorable risk environment for long positions
3. Leading Component: Early warning signals via acceleration analysis
4. Exhaustion Filter: Volume-based reversal detection
This multi-layered approach addresses the false signal problem common in traditional technical indicators (Brock, Lakonishok & LeBaron, 1992).
### 5.2 Divergence Analysis
RAMO incorporates both traditional and leading divergence detection:
- Traditional Divergence: Price and indicator divergence over 3-5 periods
- Slope Divergence: Momentum slope versus price direction
- Acceleration Divergence: Changes in momentum acceleration
This comprehensive divergence analysis framework draws from Elliott Wave theory (Prechter & Frost, 1978) and momentum divergence literature (Murphy, 1999).
## 6. Empirical Advantages and Applications
### 6.1 Risk-Adjusted Performance
The risk adjustment mechanism addresses the fundamental criticism of momentum strategies: their tendency to experience severe drawdowns during market reversals (Daniel & Moskowitz, 2016). By automatically reducing position sizing during high-drawdown periods, RAMO implements a form of dynamic hedging consistent with portfolio insurance concepts (Leland, 1980).
### 6.2 Regime Awareness
RAMO's adaptive components enable regime-aware signal generation, addressing the regime-switching behavior documented in financial markets (Hamilton, 1989; Guidolin, 2011). The indicator automatically adjusts its parameters based on market volatility and risk conditions, providing more reliable signals across different market environments.
### 6.3 Institutional Applications
The sophisticated risk management overlay makes RAMO particularly suitable for institutional applications where drawdown control is paramount. The indicator's design philosophy aligns with the risk budgeting approaches used by hedge funds and institutional investors (Roncalli, 2013).
## 7. Limitations and Future Research
### 7.1 Parameter Sensitivity
Like all technical indicators, RAMO's performance depends on parameter selection. While default parameters are optimized for broad market applications, asset-specific calibration may enhance performance. Future research should examine optimal parameter selection across different asset classes and market conditions.
### 7.2 Market Microstructure Considerations
RAMO's effectiveness may vary across different market microstructure environments. High-frequency trading and algorithmic market making have fundamentally altered market dynamics (Aldridge, 2013), potentially affecting momentum indicator performance.
### 7.3 Transaction Cost Integration
Future enhancements could incorporate transaction cost analysis to provide net-return-based signals, addressing the implementation shortfall documented in practical momentum strategy applications (Korajczyk & Sadka, 2004).

PCA Regime-Adjusted MomentumSummary
The PCA Regime-Adjusted Momentum (PCA-RAM) is an advanced market analysis tool designed to provide nuanced insights into market momentum and structural stability. It moves beyond traditional indicators by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to deconstruct market data into its most essential patterns.
The indicator provides two key pieces of information:
A smoothed momentum signal based on the market's dominant underlying trend.
A dynamic regime filter that gauges the stability and clarity of the market's structure, advising you when to trust or fade the momentum signals.
This allows traders to not only identify potential shifts in momentum but also to understand the context and confidence behind those signals.
Core Concepts & Methodology
The strength of this indicator lies in its sound, data-driven methodology.
1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
At its core, the indicator analyzes a rolling window (default 50 periods) of standardized market data (Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume). PCA is a powerful statistical technique that distills this complex, 5-dimensional data into its fundamental, uncorrelated components of variance. We focus on the First Principal Component (PC1), which represents the single most dominant pattern or "theme" driving the market's behavior in the lookback window.
2. The Momentum Signal
Instead of just looking at price, we project the current market data onto this dominant underlying pattern (PC1). This gives us a raw "projection score" that measures how strongly the current bar aligns with the historically dominant market structure. This raw score is then smoothed using two an exponential moving averages (a fast and a slow line) to create a clear, actionable momentum signal, similar in concept to a MACD.
3. The Dynamic Regime Filter
This is arguably the indicator's most powerful feature. It answers the question: "How clear is the current market picture?"
It calculates the Market Concentration Ratio, which is the percentage of total market variance explained by PC1 alone.
A high ratio indicates that the market is moving in a simple, one-dimensional way (e.g., a clear, strong trend).
A low ratio indicates the market is complex, multi-dimensional, and choppy, with no single dominant theme.
Crucially, this filter is dynamic. It compares the current concentration ratio to its own recent average, allowing it to adapt to any asset or timeframe. It automatically learns what "normal" and "choppy" look like for the specific chart you are viewing.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane with two key visual elements:
The Momentum Lines (White & Gold)
White Line: The "Fast Line," representing the current momentum.
Gold Line: The "Slow Line," acting as the trend confirmation.
Bullish Signal: A crossover of the White Line above the Gold Line suggests a shift to positive momentum.
Bearish Signal: A crossover of the White Line below the Gold Line suggests a shift to negative momentum.
The Regime Filter (Purple & Dark Red Background)
This is your confidence gauge.
Navy Blue Background (High Concentration): The market structure is stable, simple, and trending. Momentum signals are more reliable and should be given higher priority.
Dark Red Background (Low Concentration): The market structure is complex, choppy, or directionless. Momentum signals are unreliable and prone to failure or "whipsaws." This is a signal to be cautious, tighten stops, or potentially stay out of the market.
Potential Trading Strategies
This tool is versatile and can be used in several ways:
1. Primary Signal Strategy
Condition: Wait for the background to turn Purple, confirming a stable, high-confidence regime.
Entry: Take the next crossover signal from the momentum lines (White over Gold for long, White under Gold for short).
Exit/Filter: Consider exiting positions or ignoring new signals when the background turns Navy.
2. As a Confirmation or Filter for Your Existing Strategy
Do you have a trend-following system? Only enable its long and short signals when the PCA-RAM background is Purple.
Do you have a range-trading or mean-reversion system? It might be most effective when the PCA-RAM background is Navy, indicating a lack of a clear trend.
3. Advanced Divergence Analysis
Look for classic divergences between price and the momentum lines. For example, if the price is making a new high, but the Gold Line is making a lower high, it may indicate underlying weakness in the trend, even on a Purple background. This divergence signal is more powerful because it shows that the new price high is not being confirmed by the market's dominant underlying pattern.

Median ATR: Computes a rolling median of ATR over a user-defined look-back (default 14) to derive a “scalp” target.
Scalp Target
Automatically set at ½ × median ATR, snapped to the nearest tick.
Optional rounding to whole points for simplicity.
Stop Calculation
ATR Multiplier: Scales current ATR by a user input (default 1.5) to produce your stop distance in points (and ticks when appropriate).
Distortion Handling: Switches between point-only and point + tick displays based on contract specifications.
Risk & Sizing
Risk % of account per trade (default 2 %).
Calculates dollar risk per contract and optimal contract count.
Displays all metrics (scalp, stop, risk/contract, max contracts, max risk, account size) in a customizable on-chart table.
ATR-Based Stop Placement Guidelines
Trade Context ATR Multiplier Notes
Tight Range Entry 1.0 × ATR High-conviction, precise entries. Expect more shake-outs.
Standard Trend Entry 1.5 × ATR Balanced for H2/L2, MTR, DT/DB entries.
Breakouts/Microchannels 2.0 × ATR Wide stops through chop—Brooks-style breathing room.
How to Use
Select ATR Settings
Pick an ATR length (e.g. 14) and smoothing (RMA for stability).
Adjust the median length if you want a faster/slower scalp line.
Align Multiplier with Your Setup
For tight-range entries, set ATR Multiplier ≈ 1.0.
For standard trend trades, leave at 1.5.
For breakout/pullback setups, increase to 2.0 or more.
Customize Risk Parameters
Enter your account size and desired risk % per trade (e.g. 2 %).
The table auto-calculates how many contracts you can take.
Read the On-Chart Table
Scalp shows your intraday target.
Stop gives Brooks-style stop distance in points (and ticks).
Risk/Contract is the dollar risk per contract.
Max Contracts tells you maximum position size.
Max Risk confirms total dollar exposure.
Visual Confirmation
Place your entry, then eyeball the scalp and stop levels against chart structure (e.g. swing highs/lows).
Adjust the ATR multiplier if market context shifts (e.g. volatility spikes).
By blending this sizing panel with contextual ATR multipliers, you’ll consistently give your trades the right amount of “breathing room” while keeping risk in check.

Value at Risk (VaR/CVaR) - Stop Loss ToolThis script calculates Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) over a configurable T-bar forward horizon, based on historical T-bar log returns. It plots projected price thresholds that reflect the worst X% of historical return outcomes, helping set statistically grounded stop-loss levels.
A 95% 5-day VaR of −3% means: “In the worst 5% of all historical 5-day periods, losses were 3% or more.” If you're bullish, and your thesis is correct, price should not behave like one of those worst-case scenarios. So if the market starts trading below that 5-day VaR level, it may indicate that your long bias is invalidated, and a stop-loss near that level can help protect against further downside consistent with tail-risk behavior.
How it's different:
Unlike ATR or standard deviation-based methods, which measure recent volatility magnitude, VaR/CVaR incorporate both the magnitude and **likelihood** (5% chance for example) of adverse moves. This makes it better suited for risk-aware position sizing and exits grounded in actual historical return distributions.
How to use for stop placement:
- Set your holding horizon (T) and confidence level (e.g., 95%) in the inputs.
- The script plots a price level below which only the worst 5% (or chosen %) of T-bar returns have historically occurred (VaR).
- If price approaches or breaches the VaR line, your bullish/bearish thesis may be invalidated.
- CVaR gives a deeper threshold: the average loss **if** things go worse than VaR — useful for a secondary or emergency stop.
FURTHER NOTES FROM SOURCE CODE:
//======================================================================//
// If you're bullish (expecting the price to go up), then under normal circumstances, prices should not behave like they do on the worst-case days.
// If they are — you're probably wrong, or something unexpected is happening. Basically, returns shouldn't be exhibiting downside tail-like behavior if you're bullish.
// VaR(95%, T) gives the threshold below which the price falls only 5% of the time historically, over T days/bars and considering N historical samples.
// CVaR tells you the expected/average price level if that adverse move continues
// Caveats:
// For a variety of reasons, VaR underestimates volatility, despite using historical returns directly rather than making normality assumptions
// as is the case with the standard historicalvol/bollinger band/stdev/ATR approaches)
// Volatility begets volatility (volatility clustering), and VaR is not a conditional probability on recent volatility so it likely underestimates the true volatility of an adverse event
// Regieme shifts occur (bullish phase after prolonged bearish behavior), so upside/short VaR would underestimate the best-case days in the beginning of that move, depending on lookahead horizon/sampling period
// News/events happen, and maybe your sampling period doesn't contain enough event-driven returns to form reliable stats
// In general of course, this tool assumes past return distributions are reflective of forward risk (not the case in non-stationary time series)
// Thus, this tool is not predictive — it shows historical tail risk, not guaranteed outcomes.
// Also, when forming log-returns, overlapping windows of returns are used (to get more samples), but this introduces autocorrelation (if it wasn't there already). This means again, the true VaR is underestimated.
// Description:
// This script calculates and plots both Value at Risk (VaR) and
// Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) for a given confidence level, using
// historical log returns. It computes both long-side (left tail) and
// short-side (right tail) risk, and converts them into price thresholds (red and green lines respectively).
//
// Key Concepts:
// - VaR: "There is a 95% chance the loss will be less than this value over T days. Represents the 95th-percentile worst empirical returns observed in the sampling period, over T bars.
// - CVaR: "Given that the loss exceeds the VaR, the average of those worst 5% losses is this value. (blue line)" Expected tail loss. If the worst case breached, how bad can it get on average
// - For shorts, the script computes the mirror (right-tail) equivalents.
// - Use T-day log returns if estimating risk over multiple days forward.
// - You can see instances where the VaR for time T, was surpassed historically with the "backtest" boolean
//
// Usage for Stop-Loss:
// - LONG POSITIONS:
// • 95th percentile means, 5% of the time (1 in 20 times) you'd expect to get a VaR level loss (touch the red line), over the next T bars.
// • VaR threshold = minimum price expected with (1 – confidence)% chance.
// • CVaR threshold = expected price if that worst-case zone is breached.
// → Use as potential stop-loss (VaR) or disaster stop (CVaR). If you're bullish (and you're right), price should not be exhibiting returns consistent with the worst 5% of days/T_bars historically.
