Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend - Strategy [presentTrading]The code is mainly developed for me to stimulate the multi-step taking profit function for strategies. The result shows the drawdown can be reduced but at the same time reduced the profit as well. It can be a heuristic for futures leverage traders.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend" is a trading strategy designed to leverage the power of multiple steps to optimize trade entries and exits across the Supertrend indicator. Unlike traditional strategies that rely on single entry and exit points, this strategy employs a multi-step approach to take profit, allowing traders to lock in gains incrementally. Additionally, the strategy is adaptable to both long and short trades, providing a comprehensive solution for dynamic market conditions.
This template strategy lies in its dual Supertrend calculation, which enhances the accuracy of trend detection and provides more reliable signals for trade entries and exits. This approach minimizes false signals and increases the overall profitability of trades by ensuring that positions are entered and exited at optimal points.

█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The "Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend Trader" strategy utilizes two Supertrend indicators calculated with different parameters to determine the direction and strength of the market trend. This dual approach increases the robustness of the signals, reducing the likelihood of entering trades based on false signals. Here is a detailed breakdown of how the strategy operates:
🔶 Supertrend Indicator Calculation
The Supertrend indicator is a trend-following overlay on the price chart, typically used to identify the direction of the trend. It is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) to ensure that the indicator adapts to market volatility. The formula for the Supertrend indicator is:
Upper Band = (High + Low) / 2 + (Factor * ATR)
Lower Band = (High + Low) / 2 - (Factor * ATR)
Where:
- High and Low are the highest and lowest prices of the period.
- Factor is a user-defined multiplier.
- ATR is the Average True Range over a specified period.
The Supertrend changes its direction based on the closing price in relation to these bands.
🔶 Entry-Exit Conditions
The strategy enters long positions when both Supertrend indicators signal an uptrend, and short positions when both indicate a downtrend. Specifically:
- Long Condition: Supertrend1 < 0 and Supertrend2 < 0
- Short Condition: Supertrend1 > 0 and Supertrend2 > 0
- Long Exit Condition: Supertrend1 > 0 and Supertrend2 > 0
- Short Exit Condition: Supertrend1 < 0 and Supertrend2 < 0
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit Mechanism
The strategy features a multi-step take profit mechanism, which allows traders to lock in profits incrementally. This is achieved through four user-configurable take profit levels. For each level, the strategy specifies a percentage increase (for long trades) or decrease (for short trades) in the entry price at which a portion of the position is exited:
- Step 1: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent1 / 100)
- Step 2: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent2 / 100)
- Step 3: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent3 / 100)
- Step 4: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent4 / 100)
This staggered exit strategy helps in locking profits at multiple levels, thereby reducing risk and increasing the likelihood of capturing the maximum possible profit from a trend.

█ Trade Direction
The strategy is highly flexible, allowing users to specify the trade direction. There are three options available:
- Long Only: The strategy will only enter long trades.
- Short Only: The strategy will only enter short trades.
- Both: The strategy will enter both long and short trades based on the Supertrend signals.
This flexibility allows traders to adapt the strategy to various market conditions and their own trading preferences.
█ Usage
1. Add the strategy to your trading platform and apply it to the desired chart.
2. Configure the take profit settings under the "Take Profit Settings" group.
3. Set the trade direction under the "Trade Direction" group.
4. Adjust the Supertrend settings in the "Supertrend Settings" group to fine-tune the indicator calculations.
5. Monitor the chart for entry and exit signals as indicated by the strategy.
█ Default Settings
- Use Take Profit: True
- Take Profit Percentages: Step 1 - 6%, Step 2 - 12%, Step 3 - 18%, Step 4 - 50%
- Take Profit Amounts: Step 1 - 12%, Step 2 - 8%, Step 3 - 4%, Step 4 - 0%
- Number of Take Profit Steps: 3
- Trade Direction: Both
- Supertrend Settings: ATR Length 1 - 10, Factor 1 - 3.0, ATR Length 2 - 11, Factor 2 - 4.0
These settings provide a balanced starting point, which can be customized further based on individual trading preferences and market conditions.
Sharpe and Sortino Ratios█ OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates the Sharpe and Sortino ratios using a chart symbol's periodic price returns, offering insights into the symbol's risk-adjusted performance. It features the option to calculate these ratios by comparing the periodic returns to a fixed annual rate of return or the returns from another selected symbol's context.
█ CONCEPTS
Returns, risk, and volatility
The return on an investment is the relative gain or loss over a period, often expressed as a percentage. Investment returns can originate from several sources, including capital gains, dividends, and interest income. Many investors seek the highest returns possible in the quest for profit. However, prudent investing and trading entails evaluating such returns against the associated risks (i.e., the uncertainty of returns and the potential for financial losses) for a clearer perspective on overall performance and sustainability.
The profitability of an investment typically comes at the cost of enduring market swings, noise, and general uncertainty. To navigate these turbulent waters, investors and portfolio managers often utilize volatility , a measure of the statistical dispersion of historical returns, as a foundational element in their risk assessments because it provides a tangible way to gauge the uncertainty in returns. High volatility suggests increased uncertainty and, consequently, higher risk, whereas low volatility suggests more stable returns with minimal fluctuations, implying lower risk. These concepts are integral components in several risk-adjusted performance metrics, including the Sharpe and Sortino ratios calculated by this indicator.
Risk-free rate
The risk-free rate represents the rate of return on a hypothetical investment carrying no risk of financial loss. This theoretical rate provides a benchmark for comparing the returns on a risky investment and evaluating whether its excess returns justify the risks. If an investment's returns are at or below the theoretical risk-free rate or the risk premium is below a desired amount, it may suggest that the returns do not compensate for the extra risk, which might be a call to reassess the investment.
Since the risk-free rate is a theoretical concept, investors often utilize proxies for the rate in practice, such as Treasury bills and other government bonds. Conventionally, analysts consider such instruments "risk-free" for a domestic holder, as they are a form of government obligation with a low perceived likelihood of default.
The average yield on short-term Treasury bills, influenced by economic conditions, monetary policies, and inflation expectations, has historically hovered around 2-3% over the long term. This range also aligns with central banks' inflation targets. As such, one may interpret a value within this range as a minimum proxy for the risk-free rate, as it may correspond to the minimum rate required to maintain purchasing power over time. This indicator uses a default value of 2% as the risk-free rate in its Sharpe and Sortino ratio calculations. Users can adjust this value from the "Risk-free rate of return" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
Sharpe and Sortino ratios
The Sharpe and Sortino ratios are two of the most widely used metrics that offer insight into an investment's risk-adjusted performance . They provide a standardized framework to compare the effectiveness of investments relative to their perceived risks. These metrics can help investors determine whether the returns justify the risks taken to achieve them, promoting more informed investment decisions.
Both metrics measure risk-adjusted performance similarly. However, they have some differences in their formulas and their interpretation:
1. Sharpe ratio
The Sharpe ratio , developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe, measures the performance of an investment compared to a theoretically risk-free asset, adjusted for the investment risk. The ratio uses the following formula:
Sharpe Ratio = (𝑅𝑎 − 𝑅𝑓) / 𝜎𝑎
Where:
• 𝑅𝑎 = Average return of the investment
• 𝑅𝑓 = Theoretical risk-free rate of return
• 𝜎𝑎 = Standard deviation of the investment's returns (volatility)
A higher Sharpe ratio indicates a more favorable risk-adjusted return, as it signifies that the investment produced higher excess returns per unit of increase in total perceived risk.
2. Sortino ratio
The Sortino ratio is a modified form of the Sharpe ratio that only considers downside volatility , i.e., the volatility of returns below the theoretical risk-free benchmark. Although it shares close similarities with the Sharpe ratio, it can produce very different values, especially when the returns do not have a symmetrical distribution, since it does not penalize upside and downside volatility equally. The ratio uses the following formula:
Sortino Ratio = (𝑅𝑎 − 𝑅𝑓) / 𝜎𝑑
Where:
• 𝑅𝑎 = Average return of the investment
• 𝑅𝑓 = Theoretical risk-free rate of return
• 𝜎𝑑 = Downside deviation (standard deviation of negative excess returns, or downside volatility)
The Sortino ratio offers an alternative perspective on an investment's return-generating efficiency since it does not consider upside volatility in its calculation. A higher Sortino ratio signifies that the investment produced higher excess returns per unit of increase in perceived downside risk.
The risk-free rate (𝑅𝑓) in the numerator of both ratio formulas acts as a baseline for comparing an investment's performance to a theoretical risk-free alternative. By subtracting the risk-free rate from the expected return (𝑅𝑎−𝑅𝑓), the numerator essentially represents the risk premium of the investment.
Comparison with another symbol
In addition to the conventional Sharpe and Sortino ratios, which compare an instrument's returns to a risk-free rate, this indicator can also compare returns to a user-specified benchmark symbol , allowing the calculation of Information ratios .
An Information ratio is a generalized form of the Sharpe ratio that compares an investment's returns to a risky benchmark , such as SPY, rather than a risk-free rate. It measures the investment's active return (the difference between its returns and the benchmark returns) relative to its tracking error (i.e., the volatility of the active return) using the following formula:
𝐼𝑅 = (𝑅𝑝 − 𝑅𝑏) / 𝑇𝐸
Where:
• 𝑅𝑝 = Average return on the portfolio or investment
• 𝑅𝑏 = Average return from the benchmark instrument
• 𝑇𝐸 = Tracking error (volatility of 𝑅𝑝 − 𝑅𝑏)
Comparing returns to a benchmark instrument rather than a theoretical risk-free rate offers unique insights into risk-adjusted performance. Higher Information ratios signify that the investment produced higher active returns per unit of increase in risk relative to the benchmark. Conventional choices for non-risk-free benchmarks include major composite indices like the S&P 500 and DJIA, as the resulting ratios can provide insight into the effectiveness of an investment relative to the broader market.
Users can enable this generalized calculation for both the Sharpe and Sortino ratios by selecting the "Benchmark symbol returns" option from the "Benchmark type" dropdown in the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
It's crucial to note that this indicator compares the charts symbol's rate of change (return) to the rate of change in the benchmark symbol. Consequently, not all symbols available on TradingView are suitable for use with these ratios due to the nature of what their values represent. For instance, using a bond as a benchmark will produce distorted results since each bar's values represent yields rather than prices, meaning it compares the rate of change in the yield. To maintain consistency and relevance in the calculated ratios, ensure the values from the compared symbols strictly represent price information.
█ FEATURES
This indicator provides traders with two widely used metrics for assessing risk-adjusted performance, generalized to allow users to compare the chart symbol's price returns to a fixed risk-free rate or the returns from another risky symbol. Below are the key features of this indicator:
Timeframe selection
The "Returns timeframe" input determines the timeframe of the calculated price returns. Users can select any value greater than or equal to the chart's timeframe. The default timeframe is "1M".
Periodic returns tracking
This indicator compounds and collects requested price returns from the selected timeframe over monthly or daily periods, similar to how the Broker Emulator works when calculating strategy performance metrics on trade data. It employs the following logic:
• Track returns over monthly periods if the chart's data spans at least two months.
• Track returns over daily periods if the chart's data spans at least two days but not two months.
• Do not track or collect returns if the data spans less than two days, as the amount of data is insufficient for meaningful ratio calculations.
The indicator uses the returns collected from up to a specified number of periods to calculate the Sharpe and Sortino ratios, depending on the available historical data. It also uses these periodic returns to calculate the average returns it displays in the Data Window.
Users can control the maximum number of periods the indicator analyzes with the "Max no. of periods used" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. The default value is 60 periods.
Benchmark specification
The "Benchmark return type" input specifies the benchmark type the indicator compares to the chart symbol's returns in the ratio calculations. It features the following two options:
• "Risk-free rate of return (%)": Compares the price returns to a user-specified annual rate of return representing a theoretical risk-free rate (e.g., 2%).
• "Benchmark symbol return": Compares the price returns to a selected benchmark symbol (e.g., "AMEX:SPY) to calculate Information ratios.
When comparing a chart symbol's returns to a specified benchmark symbol, this indicator aligns the times of data points from the benchmark with the times of data points from the chart's symbol to facilitate a fair comparison between symbols with different active sessions.
Visualization and display
• The indicator displays the periodic returns requested from the specified "Returns timeframe" in a separate pane. The plot includes dynamic colors to signify positive and negative returns.
• When the "Returns timeframe" value represents a higher timeframe, the indicator displays background highlights on the main chart pane to signify when a new value is available and whether the return is positive or negative.
• When the specified benchmark return type is a benchmark symbol, the indicator displays the requested symbol's returns in the separate pane as a gray line for visual comparison.
• Within the separate pane, the indicator displays a single-cell table that shows the base period it uses for periodic returns, the number of periods it uses in the calculation, the timeframe of the requested data, and the calculated Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
• The Data Window displays the chart symbol and benchmark returns, their periodic averages, and the Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
█ FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes the functions from our RiskMetrics library to determine the size of the periods, calculate and collect periodic returns, and compute the Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
• The `getAlignedPrices()` function in this script requests price data for the chart's symbol and a benchmark symbol with consistent time alignment by utilizing spread symbols , which helps facilitate a fair comparison between different symbol types. Retrieving prices from spreads avoids potential information loss and data misalignment that can otherwise occur when using separate requests from each symbol's context when those symbols have different sessions or data times.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedPrices()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences for fair comparison between futures instruments.
• This script uses the `changePercent()` function from our ta library to calculate the percentage changes of the requested data.
• The newly released `force_overlay` parameter in display-related functions allows indicators to display visuals on the main chart and a separate pane simultaneously. We use the parameter in this script's bgcolor() call to display background highlights on the main chart.

VIX Percentile Rank HistogramVIX Percentile Rank Histogram
The VIX Percentile Rank Histogram provides a visual representation of the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) percentile rank over a customizable lookback period, helping traders gauge market sentiment and make informed trading decisions.
Overview:
This indicator calculates the percentile rank of the VIX over a specified lookback period and displays it as a histogram. The histogram helps traders understand whether the current VIX level is relatively high or low compared to its recent history. This information is particularly useful for timing entries and exits in the S&P 500 or related ETFs and Mega Caps.
How It Works:
VIX Data Integration: The script fetches daily VIX close prices, regardless of the chart you are viewing, to analyze market volatility.
Percentile Rank Calculation: The indicator calculates the rank percentile of the VIX over the chosen lookback period.
Histogram Visualization: The histogram plots the difference between the flipped VIX percentile rank and 50, showing green bars for ranks below 50 (indicating lower market volatility) and red bars for ranks above 50 (indicating higher market volatility).
Usage:
This indicator is most effective when trading the S&P 500 (SPX, SPY, ES1!) or ETFs and Mega Caps that closely follow the S&P 500. It provides insight into market sentiment, helping traders make more informed decisions.
Timing Entries and Exits: Green histogram readings suggest it's a good time to enter or hold long positions, while red readings suggest considering exits or short positions.
Market Sentiment: A high VIX percentile rank (red bars) indicates market fear and uncertainty, while a low percentile rank (green bars) suggests investor confidence and reduced volatility.
Key Features:
Customizable Lookback Period: The default lookback period is set to 20 days, but can be adjusted based on the trader's average trade duration. For example, if your trades typically last 20 days, a 20-day lookback period helps contextualize the VIX level relative to its recent history.
Histogram Visualization: The histogram provides a clear visual representation of market volatility.
Green Bars: Indicate a lower-than-median VIX percentile rank, suggesting reduced market volatility.
Red Bars: Indicate a higher-than-median VIX percentile rank, suggesting increased market volatility.
Threshold Line: A dashed gray line at the 0 level serves as a visual reference for the median VIX rank.
Important Note:
This indicator always shows readings from the VIX, regardless of the chart you are viewing. For example, if you are looking at Natural Gas futures, this indicator will provide no relevant data. It works best when trading the S&P 500 or related ETFs and Mega Caps.

Ichimoku Theories [LuxAlgo]The Ichimoku Theories indicator is the most complete Ichimoku tool you will ever need. Four tools combined into one to harness all the power of Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō.
This tool features the following concepts based on the work of Goichi Hosoda:
Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō: Original Ichimoku indicator with its five main lines and kumo.
Time Theory: automatic time cycle identification and forecasting to understand market timing.
Wave Theory: automatic wave identification to understand market structure.
Price Theory: automatic identification of developing N waves and possible price targets to understand future price behavior.
🔶 ICHIMOKU KINKŌ HYŌ
Ichimoku with lines only, Kumo only and both together
Let us start with the basics: the Ichimoku original indicator is a tool to understand the market, not to predict it, it is a trend-following tool, so it is best used in trending markets.
Ichimoku tells us what is happening in the market and what may happen next, the aim of the tool is to provide market understanding, not trading signals.
The tool is based on calculating the mid-point between the high and low of three pre-defined ranges as the equilibrium price for short (9 periods), medium (26 periods), and long (52 periods) time horizons:
Tenkan sen: middle point of the range of the last 9 candles
Kinjun sen: middle point of the range of the last 26 candles
Senkou span A: middle point between Tankan Sen and Kijun Sen, plotted 26 candles into the future
Senkou span B: midpoint of the range of the last 52 candles, plotted 26 candles into the future
Chikou span: closing price plotted 26 candles into the past
Kumo: area between Senkou pans A and B (kumo means cloud in Japanese)
The most basic use of the tool is to use the Kumo as an area of possible support or resistance.
🔶 TIME THEORY
Current cycles and forecast
Time theory is a critical concept used to identify historical and current market cycles, and use these to forecast the next ones. This concept is based on the Kihon Suchi (translating to "Basic Numbers" in Japanese), these are 9 and 26, and from their combinations we obtain the following sequence:
9, 17, 26, 33, 42, 51, 65, 76, 129, 172, 200, 257
The main idea is that the market moves in cycles with periods set by the Kihon Suchi sequence.
When the cycle has the same exact periods, we obtain the Taito Suchi (translating to "Same Number" in Japanese).
This tool allows traders to identify historical and current market cycles and forecast the next one.
🔹 Time Cycle Identification
Presentation of 4 different modes: SWINGS, HIGHS, KINJUN, and WAVES .
The tool draws a horizontal line at the bottom of the chart showing the cycles detected and their size.
The following settings are used:
Time Cycle Mode: up to 7 different modes
Wave Cycle: Which wave to use when WAVE mode is selected, only active waves in the Wave Theory settings will be used.
Show Time Cycles: keep a cleaner chart by disabling cycles visualisation
Show last X time cycles: how many cycles to display
🔹 Time Cycle Forecast
Showcasing the two forecasting patterns: Kihon Suchi and Taito Suchi
The tool plots horizontal lines, a solid anchor line, and several dotted forecast lines.
The following settings are used:
Show time cycle forecast: to keep things clean
Forecast Pattern: comes in two flavors
Kihon Suchi plots a line from the anchor at each number in the Kihon Suchi sequence.
Taito Suchi plot lines from the anchor with the same size detected in the anchored cycle
Anchor forecast on last X time cycle: traders can place the anchor in any detected cycle
🔶 WAVE THEORY
All waves activated with overlapping
The main idea behind this theory is that markets move like waves in the sea, back and forth (making swing lows and highs). Understanding the current market structure is key to having realistic expectations of what the market may do next. The waves are divided into Simple and Complex.
The following settings are used:
Basic Waves: allows traders to activate waves I, V and N
Complex Waves: allows traders to activate waves P, Y and W
Overlapping waves: to avoid missing out on any of the waves activated
Show last X waves: how many waves will be displayed
🔹 Basic Waves
The three basic waves
The basic waves from which all waves are made are I, V, and N
I wave: one leg moves
V wave: two legs move, one against the other
N wave: Three legs move, push, pull back, and another push
🔹 Complex Waves
Three complex waves
There are other waves like
P wave: contracting market
Y wave: expanding market
W wave: double top or double bottom
🔶 PRICE THEORY
All targets for the current N wave with their calculations
This theory is based on identifying developing N waves and predicting potential price targets based on that developing wave.
The tool displays 4 basic targets (V, E, N, and NT) and 3 extended targets (2E and 3E) according to the calculations shown in the chart above. Traders can enable or disable each target in the settings panel.
🔶 USING EVERYTHING TOGETHER
Please DON'T do this. This is not how you use it
Now the real example:
Daily chart of Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ1!) with our Ichimoku analysis
Time, waves, and price theories go together as one:
First, we identify the current time cycles and wave structure.
Then we forecast the next cycle and possible key price levels.
We identify a Taito Suchi with both legs of exactly 41 candles on each I wave, both together forming a V wave, the last two I waves are part of a developing N wave, and the time cycle of the first one is 191 candles. We forecast this cycle into the future and get 22nd April as a key date, so in 6 trading days (as of this writing) the market would have completed another Taito Suchi pattern if a new wave and time cycle starts. As we have a developing N wave we can see the potential price targets, the price is actually between the NT and V targets. We have a bullish Kumo and the price is touching it, if this Kumo provides enough support for the price to go further, the market could reach N or E targets.
So we have identified the cycle and wave, our expectations are that the current cycle is another Taito Suchi and the current wave is an N wave, the first I wave went for 191 candles, and we expect the second and third I waves together to amount to 191 candles, so in theory the N wave would complete in the next 6 trading days making a swing high. If this is indeed the case, the price could reach the V target (it is almost there) or even the N target if the bulls have the necessary strength.
We do not predict the future, we can only aim to understand the current market conditions and have future expectations of when (time), how (wave), and where (price) the market will make the next turning point where one side of the market overcomes the other (bulls vs bears).

NYSE TickThe NYSE Tick indicator is a market breadth indicator used to determine short-term bullish or bearish market sentiment. The NYSE Tick index compares the number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange that are ticking up to the number of stocks ticking down at a specific moment in time. When the NYSE Tick is hovering around the zero line, roughly the same number of stocks are ticking up as are ticking down. When the overall market is rising it will usually present on the NYSE Tick as a rise in value that will generally stay mostly above the zero line for a period of time. The opposite is true when the general market is falling and can be seen as the NYSE Tick staying mostly below the zero line. This information can be very helpful for a short-term day trader who trades a market that also follows many of these same stocks, like the E-Mini S&P 500 Futures (ES), for example. While the index can theoretically rise or fall to over ±2,000 if all stocks on the NYSE are ticking up or down at the same time, it’s generally considered an extreme movement if the NYSE Tick is ±1,000. For this reason, the indicator has default reference lines at ±1,000 and halfway marks at ±500. In order to partially smooth out the movement and make movement trends more easily read, the indicator plots the values using Heikin Ashi candles instead of the standard bars or candlesticks. The price-line value displayed is an accurate live value, however, rather than the OHLC average value of a standard Heikin Ashi candle. Since the standard hours for the NYSE are Monday – Friday, 09:30 – 16:00 EST, the indicator only plots bars during this time.
Lin Reg (Linear Regression) Support and Resistance by xxMargauxLin Reg (Linear Regression) Support & Resistance by xxMargaux 💸
This indicator plots three linear regression lines (Lin Reg) on the price chart, providing insights into potential support and resistance levels. It calculates Lin Reg lines based on user-defined lengths and sources.
This indicator's settings were initially configured for MNQ1! (E-Mini Nasdaq 100 futures contracts). But works as intended on any security and on any timeframe.
When price is below a given Lin Reg line, that line will be red and may serve as resistance as price moves up towards the line. That is, it may be a potential short entry opportunity. When price is above a given Lin Reg line, that line will be green and may serve as support as price continues up from the line. That is, it may be a potential long entry opportunity.
When price starts to break sideways or down through the Lin Reg lines, this may signal a reversal from uptrend to downtrend. When price starts to break sideways or up through the Lin Reg Lines, this may signal a reversal from downtrend to uptrend. In very strong trends, breaking through the lines briefly may provide an entry opportunity, but be cautious because a trend reversal may also be possible.
Inputs:
Length of Price Lin Reg Lines: Customize the lengths of the three Lin Reg lines.
Source for Price Lin Reg Lines: Choose the source for each Lin Reg line.
Source for Security Price: Select the price source for the security.
Features:
Trend Analysis: Assists in visualizing price trends based on the relationship between the security price and Lin Reg lines, which will be colored according to whether price is above or below each Lin Reg line.
Customizable Colors: When price is above a Lin Reg line that line will be green. When price is below a Lin Reg line, that line will be red.
Here's a beginner-friendly explanation of linear regression lines 💡
Best-Fit Line: Imagine you have a scatter plot of closing prices on a chart. Linear regression aims to find the straight line that best fits the overall trend of these data points. It's like drawing a line through the center of the data that minimizes the distance between the line and each data point.
Trend Identification: Once the linear regression line is plotted on a price chart, it provides a visual representation of the trend. If the price is generally rising, the linear regression line will slope upwards. If the price is falling, the line will slope downwards. This helps traders identify whether the trend is bullish (upward) or bearish (downward).
Support and Resistance: Linear regression lines can also act as dynamic support and resistance levels. When the price is above the linear regression line, it may act as support, meaning the price tends to bounce off the line and continue higher. Conversely, when the price is below the line, it may act as resistance, with the price encountering selling pressure and potentially reversing lower.
Reversal Signals: Changes in the slope or direction of the linear regression line can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if the price breaks above a downward-sloping linear regression line, it may indicate a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend, and vice versa.
Adjustable Parameters: Traders can customize the length of the linear regression line by adjusting the period over which it's calculated. Shorter periods may be more sensitive to recent price changes, while longer periods may provide a smoother trend line.
Long / Short OI Build Up ntroduction
The "Long / Short OI Build Up" script is designed to identify potential long or short build-up opportunities based on changes in open interest (OI) and price movements. Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding contracts for a financial asset, such as futures or options, that have not been settled. This script provides insights into whether there is a build-up of long positions (bullish sentiment) or short positions (bearish sentiment) in the market.
Script Overview
Indicator Overlay: This script functions as an overlay indicator, meaning it plots its output on the price chart.
Input Customization: Users can customize the symbol for which they want to analyze open interest data. Additionally, they can adjust parameters like the percentage change in open interest and price to define build-up conditions.
Dashboard Display: The script includes a dashboard feature that displays the build-up analysis at a chosen location on the chart.
Build-Up Analysis: Based on the defined criteria, the script identifies whether there is a long build-up (bullish) or short build-up (bearish) scenario. It calculates the change in open interest and price and compares them against user-defined thresholds.
Table Visualization: The results of the analysis are presented in a table format, showing the build-up type, percentage change in open interest, and percentage change in price.
Usage
Override Symbol: Users can choose to override the default symbol for analysis by selecting this option and entering the desired symbol.
Price Change Percentage: Set the percentage change in price that should trigger a build-up signal.
OI Change Percentage: Define the percentage change in open interest necessary to signal a build-up scenario.
Dashboard Location: Choose the location on the chart where the build-up analysis table will be displayed (options include Top Right, Bottom Right, and Bottom Left).
Interpretation
Build Up: Indicates whether there is a long build-up (green) or short build-up (red) based on the defined criteria.
OI Change: Shows the percentage change in open interest relative to the previous value. Positive values are highlighted in green, indicating an increase, while negative values are highlighted in red, indicating a decrease.
Price Change: Displays the percentage change in price relative to the previous close. Positive values are highlighted in green for price increase, while negative values are highlighted in red for price decrease.
Conclusion
The "Long / Short OI Build Up" script provides traders with valuable insights into potential bullish or bearish build-up scenarios based on changes in open interest and price movements. By customizing parameters and visualizing the analysis on a chart dashboard, traders can make more informed decisions regarding their trading strategies.
COT | MERCORThis Pine Script is designed for use on the TradingView platform to visualize various Commitment of Traders (COT) data for trading analysis. The COT reports provide a breakdown of each Tuesday’s open interest in the futures markets, which is valuable for understanding market sentiment. This script specifically focuses on displaying the positions of commercial and noncommercial traders (large speculators), both in long and short positions, as well as their net positions. Here’s a breakdown of the script’s components and how to use it:
Script Components
Indicator Declaration: The script begins by declaring a custom indicator using indicator() function, naming it "COT | MERCOR", and setting a short title and precision.
Library Import: It imports a library TradingView/LibraryCOT/2 as cot, which is likely a mock representation for the purpose of this description, assuming a library that provides COT data functions.
User Inputs:
shortNegative: A boolean input that allows users to choose whether short positions are displayed as negative numbers.
invertColors: A boolean input for users to decide if they want to invert the default colors of the plot lines.
lineWidth: An integer input that lets users adjust the width of the plotted lines.
COT Data Requests: The script requests COT data for both commercial and noncommercial traders' long and short positions using cot.COTTickerid() function. This includes constructing identifiers for these data points based on the user's input and predefined criteria (like "Commercial Positions" or "Noncommercial Positions", and direction "Long" or "Short").
Data Plotting: The script plots the retrieved data points on the chart, using different colors and line styles to distinguish between commercial and noncommercial positions, as well as between long, short, and net positions. It includes options to adjust the appearance based on user inputs (like inverting colors or changing line width).
Zero Line: A horizontal line (hline) is plotted at zero to provide a baseline for comparison.
How to Use
Adding the Script to Your Chart:
On TradingView, open the Pine Editor.
Paste this script into the Pine Editor.
Save and add the script to your chart.
Customizing the Display:
You can toggle whether short positions are displayed as negative numbers through the "Show Shorts as Negative Numbers?" checkbox.
Use the "Invert Colors?" checkbox to swap the colors used for plotting the positions.
Adjust the "Line Width" option to change the thickness of the plotted lines according to your preference.
Analyzing the Data:
The plotted lines represent the long, short, and net positions of commercial and noncommercial traders.
Commercial positions are typically considered the positions of entities involved in the production, processing, or merchandising of a commodity, whereas noncommercial positions represent large speculators, such as hedge funds.
The net positions (long minus short) provide insight into the overall bullish or bearish sentiment among these trader categories.
By examining these positions, traders can gain insights into potential market moves based on the behaviors of key market participants.
This script is a powerful tool for traders who want to incorporate COT report data into their market analysis on TradingView. By visualizing the trading positions of significant market players, it aids in making informed trading decisions.
Realized volatility differentialAbout
This is a simple indicator that takes into account two types of realized volatility: Close-Close and High-Low (the latter is more useful for intraday trading).
The output of the indicator is two values / plots:
an average of High-Low volatility minus Close-Close volatility (10day period is used as a default)
the current value of the indicator
When the current value is:
lower / below the average, then it means that High-Low volatility should increase.
higher / above then obviously the opposite is true.
How to use it
It might be used as a timing tool for mean reversion strategies = when your primary strategy says a market is in mean reversion mode, you could use it as a signal for opening a position.
For example: let's say a security is in uptrend and approaching an important level (important to you).
If the current value is:
above the average, a short position can be opened, as High-Low volatility should decrease;
below the average, a trend should continue.

TTrades Daily Bias [TFO]Inspired by @TTrades_edu video on daily bias, this indicator aims to develop a higher timeframe bias and collect data on its success rate. While a handful of concepts were introduced in said video, this indicator focuses on one specific method that utilizes previous highs and lows. The following description will outline how the indicator works using the daily timeframe as an example, but the weekly timeframe is also an included option that functions in the exact same manner.
On the daily timeframe, there are a handful of possible scenarios that we consider: if price closes above its previous day high (PDH), the following day's bias will target PDH; if price trades above its PDH but closes back below it, the following day's bias will target its previous day low (PDL).
Similarly, if price closes below its PDL, the following day's bias will target PDL. If price trades below its PDL but closes back above it, the following day's bias will target PDH.
If price trades as an inside bar that doesn't take either PDH or PDL, it will refer to the previous candle for bias. If the previous day closed above its open, it will target PDH and vice versa. If price trades as an outside bar that takes both PDH and PDL, but closes inside that range, no bias is assigned.
With a rigid framework in place, we can apply it to the charts and observe the results.
As shown above, each new day starts by drawing out the PDH and PDL levels. They start out as blue and turn red once traded through (these are the default colors which can be changed in the indicator's settings). The triangles you see are plotted to indicate the time at which PDH or PDL was traded through. This color scheme is also applied to the table in the top right; once a bias is determined, that cell's color starts out as blue and turns red once the level is traded through.
The table indicates the success rate of price hitting the levels provided by each period's bias, followed by the success rate of price closing through said levels after reaching them, as well as the sample size of data collected for each scenario.
In the above crude oil futures (CL1!) 30m chart, we can glean a lot of information from the table in the top right. First we may note that the "PDH" cell is red, which indicates that the current day's bias was targeting PDH and it has already traded through that level. We might also note that the "PWH" cell is blue, which indicates that the weekly bias is targeting the previous week high (PWH) but price has yet to reach that level.
As an example of how to read the table's data, we can look at the "PDH" row of the crude oil chart above. The sample size here indicates that there were 279 instances where the daily bias was assigned as PDH. From this sample size, 76.7% of instances did go on to trade through PDH, and only 53.7% of those instances actually went on to close through PDH after hitting that level.
Of course, greater sample sizes and therefore greater statistical significance may be derived from higher timeframe charts that may go further back in time. The amount of data you can observe may also depend on your TradingView plan.
If we don't want to see the labels describing why bias is assigned a certain way, we can simply turn off the "Show Bias Reasoning" option. Additionally, if we want to see a visual of what the daily and weekly bias currently is, we can plot that along the top and bottom of the chart, as shown above. Here I have daily bias plotted at the top and weekly bias at the bottom, where the default colors of green and red indicate that the bias logic is expecting price to draw towards the given timeframe's previous high or low, respectively.
For a compact table view that doesn't take up much chart space, simply deselect the "Show Statistics" option. This will only show the color-coded bias column for a quick view of what levels are being anticipated (more user-friendly for mobile and other smaller screens).
Alerts can be configured to indicate the bias for a new period, and/or when price hits its previous highs and lows. Simply enable the alerts you want from the indicator's settings and create a new alert with this indicator as the condition. There will be options to use "Any alert() function call" which will alert whatever is selected from the settings, or you can use more specific alerts for bullish/bearish bias, whether price hit PDH/PDL, etc.
Lastly, while the goal of this indicator was to evaluate the effectiveness of a very specific bias strategy, please understand that past performance does not guarantee future results.
ICT Killzones Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Killzones Toolkit is a comprehensive set of tools designed to assist traders in identifying key trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Killzones Toolkit includes the following Price Action components:
ICT Killzones with Pivot Highs/Lows
Order Blocks
Breaker Blocks
Fair Value Gaps
Market Structure Shifts
By combining these components, the ICT Killzones Toolkit provides traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the market and identifying setups of interest. Leveraging these tools effectively can enhance traders' decision-making process and improve killzones interpretability.
🔶 USAGE
In forex/futures trading, timing is crucial. ICT Killzone are specific periods when there's a higher chance of finding setups of interest. Mastering these time intervals can offer significant advantages to traders who know how to use them effectively.
The image above highlights a potential setup of interest when using the ICT Killzones Toolkit.
As another example for utilizing the ICT Killzones Toolkit, we can see in the image above when price retests setups generated from killzones such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps, a potential strategy could be to look for entries on those & take profits as the next killzone appears.
🔹 Order Blocks
Order Blocks are sections on a price chart where notable buying or selling activity has occured, often signaling interest zones for institutional traders. This toolkit's Order Blocks component pinpoints these areas within the Killzone, which may act as potential support or resistance levels.
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Breaker Blocks are zones built from mitigated order blocks, and highlight zones on the chart where price has previously stalled or reversed. These areas may act as significant barriers to price movement in the future, and the Breaker Blocks component helps traders identify them for potential trading opportunities.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps are especially favored by price action traders and arise from market inefficiencies or imbalances, typically when buying and selling are unequal. These gaps often attract price movement before resuming in the same direction. the Fair Value Gaps component of the toolkit helps traders identify and analyze them.
🔹 Market Structure Shifts
Market Structure Shifts refer to significant changes in the overall structure of the market, such as shifts in trend direction, volatility, or trading activity. These shifts can provide valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trading opportunities, and the Market Structure Shifts component helps traders identify and interpret them.
Overall, the ICT Killzone Toolkit combines these components to provide traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the markets and identifying high-probability trading setups.

RVOL++Overview
RVOL++ is a valuable tool for intraday traders to gauge market participation and anticipate the pace of the market. By understanding the RVOL levels, traders can adjust their strategies and expectations to align with the current market conditions. RVOL is a simple mathematical formula that compares the current volume to a prior lookback period, such as the previous 5 days or previous 10 days. This indicator helps traders understand the level of interest or participation in the market, which in turn can indicate the speed or pace of the market.
How to calculate RVOL at Time
Check if the current time is within the specified time period (e.g., 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM EST).
If it is, calculate the current cumulative volume for that period.
Find the average cumulative volume for the same period over the past X days (where X is the lookback period).
Calculate the RVOL at Time as:
RVOL at Time =(Current Cumulative Volume/Average Cumulative Volume)×100
For more info about calculating RVOL at time please refer to the Tradingview article.
www.tradingview.com
Key Features of RVOL++
Two Session and Daily Modes: In Two Session mode, it calculates RVOL for two distinct trading sessions, while in Daily mode, it calculates RVOL for the entire trading day. Two Session mode helps for instruments like futures, forex, crypto that trade 23+ hours. If you are using an instrument such as a stock like AAPL, if you don't have pre-market/extended hours enabled you will want to use "Daily Mode".
Session Time Settings: The indicator allows users to define the trading session times in Eastern Standard Time (EST) for more accurate RVOL calculations.
Customizable Lookback Period: Users can set the number of days for the lookback period, allowing for flexibility in calculating the average volume at time (RVOL).
Color-Coded RVOL Histogram: The indicator displays a color-coded histogram to visualize RVOL levels. Different colors represent different RVOL ranges, making it easy to identify low, neutral, and high RVOL periods.
RVOL Ranges**: The indicator defines RVOL ranges as follows:
40 - 80: Low RVOL (Red/Yellow)
80 - 120: Neutral RVOL (Blue/Cyan)
120+: High RVOL (Green-Lime)
Low RVOL Environment
Expect slow market movement with limited opportunities.
Focus on A+ setups and be selective.
Use tighter stops, size down, and adjust trading goals.
Neutral RVOL Environment
Expect a more normalized trading pace with frequent rotations.
Lean on structure and incorporate other trading tools.
Use normal sizing and stop management.
High RVOL Environment
Expect the best opportunities for range expansion and rotations.
Be more relaxed about overtrading but stay focused on structure.
Start with smaller initial size and build up to a full position.
Day/Week/Month Metrics (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Day/Week/Month Metrics (Zeiierman) indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to incorporate historical performance into their trading strategy. It computes statistical metrics related to the performance of a trading instrument on different time scales: daily, weekly, and monthly. Breaking down the performance into daily, weekly, and monthly metrics provides a granular view of the instrument's behavior.
The indicator requires the chart to be set on a daily timeframe.
█ Key Statistics
⚪ Day in month
The performance of financial markets can show variability across different days within a month. This phenomenon, often referred to as the "monthly effect" or "turn-of-the-month effect," suggests that certain days of the month, especially the first and last days, tend to exhibit higher than average returns in many stock markets around the world. This effect is attributed to various factors including payroll contributions, investment of monthly dividends, and psychological factors among traders and investors.
⚪ Edge
The Edge calculation identifies days within a month that consistently outperform the average monthly trading performance. It provides a statistical advantage by quantifying how often trading on these specific days yields better returns than the overall monthly average. This insight helps traders understand not just when returns might be higher, but also how reliable these patterns are over time. By focusing on days with a higher "Edge," traders can potentially increase their chances of success by aligning their strategies with historically more profitable days.
⚪ Month
Historically, the stock market has exhibited seasonal trends, with certain months showing distinct patterns of performance. One of the most well-documented patterns is the "Sell in May and go away" phenomenon, suggesting that the period from November to April has historically brought significantly stronger gains in many major stock indices compared to the period from May to October. This pattern highlights the potential impact of seasonal investor sentiment and activities on market performance.
⚪ Day in week
Various studies have identified the "day-of-the-week effect," where certain days of the week, particularly Monday and Friday, show different average returns compared to other weekdays. Historically, Mondays have been associated with lower or negative average returns in many markets, a phenomenon often linked to the settlement of trades from the previous week and negative news accumulation over the weekend. Fridays, on the other hand, might exhibit positive bias as investors adjust positions ahead of the weekend.
⚪ Week in month
The performance of markets can also vary within different weeks of the month, with some studies suggesting a "week of the month effect." Typically, the first and the last week of the month may show stronger performance compared to the middle weeks. This pattern can be influenced by factors such as the timing of economic reports, monthly investment flows, and options and futures expiration dates which tend to cluster around these periods, affecting investor behavior and market liquidity.
█ How It Works
⚪ Day in Month
For each day of the month (1-31), the script calculates the average percentage change between the opening and closing prices of a trading instrument. This metric helps identify which days have historically been more volatile or profitable.
It uses arrays to store the sum of percentage changes for each day and the total occurrences of each day to calculate the average percentage change.
⚪ Month
The script calculates the overall gain for each month (January-December) by comparing the closing price at the start of a month to the closing price at the end, expressed as a percentage. This metric offers insights into which months might offer better trading opportunities based on historical performance.
Monthly gains are tracked using arrays that store the sum of these gains for each month and the count of occurrences to calculate the average monthly gain.
⚪ Day in Week
Similar to the day in the month analysis, the script evaluates the average percentage change between the opening and closing prices for each day of the week (Monday-Sunday). This information can be used to assess which days of the week are typically more favorable for trading.
The script uses arrays to accumulate percentage changes and occurrences for each weekday, allowing for the calculation of average changes per day of the week.
⚪ Week in Month
The script assesses the performance of each week within a month, identifying the gain from the start to the end of each week, expressed as a percentage. This can help traders understand which weeks within a month may have historically presented better trading conditions.
It employs arrays to track the weekly gains and the number of weeks, using a counter to identify which week of the month it is (1-4), allowing for the calculation of average weekly gains.
█ How to Use
Traders can use this indicator to identify patterns or trends in the instrument's performance. For example, if a particular day of the week consistently shows a higher percentage of bullish closes, a trader might consider this in their strategy. Similarly, if certain months show stronger performance historically, this information could influence trading decisions.
Identifying High-Performance Days and Periods
Day in Month & Day in Week Analysis: By examining the average percentage change for each day of the month and week, traders can identify specific days that historically have shown higher volatility or profitability. This allows for targeted trading strategies, focusing on these high-performance days to maximize potential gains.
Month Analysis: Understanding which months have historically provided better returns enables traders to adjust their trading intensity or capital allocation in anticipation of seasonally stronger or weaker periods.
Week in Month Analysis: Identifying which weeks within a month have historically been more profitable can help traders plan their trades around these periods, potentially increasing their chances of success.
█ Settings
Enable or disable the types of statistics you want to display in the table.
Table Size: Users can select the size of the table displayed on the chart, ranging from "Tiny" to "Auto," which adjusts based on screen size.
Table Position: Users can choose the location of the table on the chart

The 10 minute Opening Range (OR) dynamically identifies and visualizes the opening range of a trading session within the first 10 minutes after the market opens at 9:30 AM EST, concluding at 4:00 PM EST, reflecting the typical trading hours for U.S. stock exchanges. This indicator is particularly useful for strategies that rely on the initial market momentum and direction established during the early moments of the trading session.
Upon activation, the indicator calculates the highest (orHigh) and lowest (orLow) price levels reached during the first 10 minutes of the trading session, marking these levels with green (for the high) and red (for the low) lines directly on the chart overlay. Additionally, it computes and plots a midpoint (midPoint) between these high and low levels, displayed as a blue line, offering a visual reference for the median of the opening range.
The calculations are reset daily to ensure the indicator accurately reflects the opening range for each new trading session. By doing so, it avoids carrying over data from previous days, maintaining relevance and precision for day traders and those utilizing short-term trading strategies. The indicator also incorporates timezone adjustments to align with the America/New_York timezone, ensuring that the opening range is accurately captured regardless of the user's local timezone.
This tool is invaluable for traders looking to capitalize on breakout or reversion strategies around the opening range, providing clear visual cues for significant price levels established at the start of the trading session. By focusing on the first 10 minutes of trading, it caters to a specific segment of the market that believes the initial movements can set the tone for the rest of the day's trading activity.
Asset capital flows - multi-timeframeIndicator for use on the any timeframe to show net capital flows into an asset of your choosing, to allow the user to track potential buy and selling pressure.
Net volume is derived from lower timeframe data (5 minute chart by default for daily timeframe) and multiplied by the average price for the same LTF period (defined by the mean of the high, low + close values). This gives the net capital inflow or outflow for the asset per bar. The cumulative sum of all previous bars is also calculated each period/day and available to be plotted as a line chart.
This might be preferred to other similar indicators as it uses low time frame bars to calculate the up/down volumes and price, thus accuracy is improved.
It should be borne in mind that the values of capital flows displayed are specific to the asset and the volume/price feed origin (ie the listed exchange used), and thus correlated with the total underlying flows, but there are other external factors influencing the volume/price data feed beyond the buy/sell volume of the specified exchange (such as spot and futures trading on other locations/exchanges)
Volume Spike IndicatorHello dear traders,
Today we're discussing an indicator I've coded: the Volume Spike Indicator (VSI).
The indicator isn't a groundbreaking invention and certainly not a novelty. Nevertheless, I haven't seen this version of the indicator on TradingView before, so I'd like to introduce it.
1. The Origin of the Idea:
We're all familiar with volume charts: A volume chart visually represents the trading activity for a specific asset over a certain period, indicating the total number of shares or contracts traded.
We also know that volume spikes can significantly impact the market. A volume spike represents an extreme anomaly, a day, week, or month with an extraordinary amount of trading. However, recognizing these spikes in practice isn't always straightforward. What constitutes high volume? How do we define and identify it? The answers to these questions aren't easy.
It's commonly said that a volume spike could be identified if the volume is 25% more than the average of the two weeks prior, but how do you measure this 25%? It's not always easy to calculate, especially in real-time.
This challenge led me to develop the concept into an indicator.
How Does It Work?
Imagine being able to "feel" the market's energy like a surfer feels the ocean. The VSI does something similar by examining trading volume and comparing it to what has been typical over the past few weeks. Here's a quick look at the magic behind it:
Step 1: Establishing the Baseline: We start by establishing a baseline, i.e., the average trading volume over a given period. Let's use the last 10 days as the default setting. We choose 10 days because, in the traditional stock market, 10 days represent two weeks if you subtract weekends. This gives us a fixed line to compare against.
Step 2: Recognizing Peaks: Next, we look for days when the trading volume significantly exceeds this average. The size of the jump is where you have a say. You can set a threshold, such as 25%, to define what you consider a volume spike.
Step 3: The Calculation: This is where the math comes into play. We calculate the percentage change in today's volume compared to the average volume of the last 10 days. For example, if today's volume is 30% above the average and you've set your threshold at 25%, the VSI will recognize this as a spike.
Step 4: Visual Cue: These spikes are then plotted on a graph, with each spike represented as a bar. The height of the bar indicates the spike's percentage size, so you can see at a glance how significant a spike is.
Step 5: Intuitive Color Coding: For quick analysis, the VSI employs a color-coding system. Exceptionally high peaks, such as those exceeding a 100% increase, are highlighted in blue to emphasize their importance. Other peaks are shown in red, creating a visual hierarchy for quick volume data interpretation.
Why This Matters:
Identifying these spikes can help pinpoint the beginning or end of a trend. The idea is that when trading peaks at a certain level, there might be no more buyers or sellers willing to engage at that price level. Volume peaks, and a reversal is likely imminent. It's a simple yet effective concept. Therefore, it's crucial to use this indicator in the context of the trend, as not every spike carries the same significance.
Customizable:
The beauty of the VSI lies in its flexibility. Trading futures? You might want to adjust the averaging period to 14 days to better suit your market. You have full control over the settings to tailor them to your trading style.
Interpreting the Figures:
A positive percentage indicates a volume spike above the average – the higher the percentage, the more significant the spike.
If the percentage exceeds a certain threshold (which you can set, e.g., 25%), it signals a volume spike, indicating increased market activity that could precede significant price movement.
What makes the VSI genuinely adaptable is your ability to tweak the parameters to suit your needs.
Are you trading in a volatile market? Extend the SMA period to smooth out the noise. Trading in a 24-hour market? Adjust the length of your SMA. Seeking finer details? Shorten it. The VSI is yours to adapt to your trading strategy.

As we wrap up this introduction to the Volume Spike Indicator, I hope you're as excited about its potential as I am. This tool, born out of curiosity and a desire for clarity in the vast ocean of market data, is designed to be your ally in navigating the waves of trading activity.
Remember, the true power of the VSI lies not just in its ability to highlight significant volume spikes, but in its adaptability to your unique trading style and needs. Whether you're charting courses through the tumultuous seas of day trading or navigating the broader currents of long-term investments, the VSI is here to offer insights and guidance.
I encourage you to experiment with it, customize it, and see how it can enhance your trading strategy. And as you do, remember that every tool, no matter how powerful, is just one piece of the puzzle. Combine the VSI with your knowledge, experience, and intuition to make informed and strategic trading decisions.
Thank you for taking the time to explore the Volume Spike Indicator with me.

BTC Perp/Spot Price DifferenceThis is a simple script that provides you with realtime information on the actual Bitcoin price difference between the Binance Perpetual Futures and the Coinbase Spot markets.
I consider this information very useful - especially on intraday timeframes - because it immediately shows the way the retail margin traders are skewed.
Positive values mean that the margin retail daytraders are mainly long, negative values mean the opposite.
I hope this indicator will help you in your intraday Bitcoin trades.
Gains CorrelationsScript Description: This script is to tie the major futures indexes together at a macro level with the normal relationships (i.e. 10YR Yield, DXY, VIX inversely related to Equities) and determine how strong the correlation is between them using a 20 period average. For example, a move up in the 10YR yield while having a strong inverse covariance with equities should signal a downward move for equities. In addition, if ES and NQ are going down, and the Dow and RTY have a strong covariance, the probability of them going down as well is strong. Overall, it's a macro indicator on broad market movements.
Originality & Usefulness: The script functions by tying 7 major indexes together using correlation strength relative to the currently selected ticker. The user can change the tickers and also invert if needed. This is different from the single correlation script by adding in several as they track in tandem. The chart used is to illustrate periods where correlations are tight with equities and the lines are clustered towards the top range of strong covariance. It also highlights when Equities are far out of line with others like gold (GC). A loose covariance would mean the relationship is weak and this indicator would show a divergence in price action between them. The overall intent is to show that most indexes rise and fall together but sometimes they move faster together.
