[SS]_TrendAVGZones_and_GoldenRatioMAThe _TrendAVGZones_and_GoldenRatioMA is an indicator that is composed first of a channel made of three price averages ( base average, middle lower and middle upper ) in red is the previous corrections average and in green the previous rises average. So that way we the setting of stop loss targets and price targets can be set up at first glance. It adjusts to any timeframe so no worries 'bout that.
Also I added two exponential moving averages ( white and silver lines ) on the chart which I modified their equations by multiplying as it follows :
is the simple modification I added to fine tune it's precision and after some trials and errors I finally found a perfect spot. Now I tried it with historical data of Bitcoin and when the two Golden Ratio EMA crosses there's a big move coming imminently : if the white one is on top of the silver one the trend is bullish inversely the white one finds itself under the silver line then it needs to cross to expect a reversal.
rphi = 0.6180339887498948 = is the conjugate root of the golden ratio also called the silver ratio
phi = 1.6180339887498948 = golden ratio
It should be used to find short to mid term price targets selling as well as buying ones. If you're a long term trader I suggest using trend lines analysis in combination with it.
I hope to make this indicator a community owned indicator so don't hesitate to perfect it so we can build the best tool traders can hope for ! Together we will no longer ask wen lambo? we will get it!
IF you've got any question you can always DM me
take care of yourselves you future millionaires :D

PVSRA Volume Price - Some people say "Price Action is King". I say, we cannot know how the MMs (Market Makers) will move price next, period. But price tends to consolidate above key SR when MMs are filling short orders for SM (Smart Money) and long orders for DM (Dumb Money), and price tends to consolidate below key SR when MMs are filling long orders for SM and short orders for DM. The MMs are also "SM", and they tend to do the other SMs "one better"! This means that after the MMs fill the SM/DM orders, they might move price a bit further in an attempt to stop out some of those SM executed orders and sucker in more DM; both giving liquidity for the MMs to add to their own SM side position. Yes, the MMs are bastards. But the point is that could leave price not "nicely" above or below a SR anymore, yet more consolidation can occur.
Volume - Increases in activity denote increase in interest. But, is it long or short interest? Where is price in the bigger picture when this is happening? Is it at relative highs, or lows in the overall price action? And if a high volume bar is for a candle which you can examine by going to lower TF charts, you might see where in the spread of that candle the most volume occurred, high or low! Using volume is about taking note of relative increases in volume and what price is doing at the same time. Are the better volumes favoring the lower or the higher prices, as the MMs waffle price up and down? And do the volumes get particularly notable when the MMs take price above or below key SR?
S&R - Read all about S&R at "Baby Pips.com". What I want you to realize here is that the whole, half and quarter numbered price levels (hereinafter referred to as "Levels") are the most important SR of all in this market! Not because price stops, pauses, proceeds or reverses there, but because it is above or below these levels that important consolidation (MMs filling SM orders) takes place. Once SM long orders are filled, they become interested in placing orders to close them at higher prices, and hence the MMs will be moving price higher, eventually. Once SM short orders are filled, they become interested in placing orders to close them at lower prices, and hence the MMs will be moving price lower, eventually.
PVSRA - If we can spot consolidations above/below key SR, examine the overall price action on various TF charts, and take note of where the notable increases in volume have most recently occurred (did volume favor relative highs or lows), then we can build a consensus about what kind of orders the MMs have most recently been filling; buying to open longs or close shorts, or selling to open shorts or close longs. And we can get a better idea if things will next become bullish or bearish. And once PA confirms our bullish or bearish PVSRA results, by recognizing the importance of Levels we can look beyond current PA in the direction it is going and look to historic PA S&R (consolidation around key Levels) to come up with candidates for where the price might be headed. And bull or bear swings typically run in terms of 100+, 150+, 200+ pips, .....etc. And now you know why.
Okay. Now, if this is your first introduction to PVSRA, and having just read the above, you are likely scratching your head and still confused. That is normal. I will tell you a secret about the market and why you have a right to be confused. The secret is this. The market cannot be defined by mathematics nor by immutable logic. This is why the most advanced mathematicians over a century have never even come close to cracking the market. It cannot be done. Something else, other than math and immutable logic is the fundamental operand in the market. Have you ever watched a child attempt a jigsaw puzzle for the first time? And watched as that child grew and attempted more of them, and more complex ones? What is at work in the market I will elaborate on later, but for now trust me in this. We need to apply ourselves to learning how to do PVSRA just as a child attacks learning how to do jigsaw puzzles. And we must continue doing PVSRA, because in time our mind will "learn" when we have just picked up an important piece of the puzzle, and that we know where it goes! Developing the skill of PVSRA is an art form. We must not allow ourselves to feel badly if we miss clues. PVSRA is an art form that takes time to perfect. Over time our skill will grow and our "read" of the unpredictable market will improve. We must take to ongoing learning and application of PVSRA.
Introduction to How the Market Really Works
Does anybody remember the "lil' Abner" cartoons in the Sunday papers? Let me draw for you a mental picture of how the market really works.....
Imagine Daddy Yokum ferociously racing a buckboard wagon up and down the steep inclines and declines in the rough, rocky mountain road that has sharp turns and a sheer cliff on one side. The wagon wheels are spewing rocks off the side of the cliff! Even Daddy Yokum's shotgun is going off due to the jolting of the buckboard! Daddy Yokum has a demented look on his face, but he is smiling! The horse has a wild look in it's eyes and is frothing at the mouth. There are two passengers being tossed around in the back of the buckboard, terror stricken! Now, let's pan back from this cartoon picture and place the labels needed. On the side of the wagon is the sign "Market Pricing". The demented, smiling Daddy Yokum, is the Market Maker. The passengers being tossed around are the buyers and sellers.
.....Got it? Market prices are not determined by the buyers and sellers. They are determined by the Robber Bank Market Makers (MMs).
MMs are Market Manipulators of Price, and Thieves!
The "market" is the sole creation of the Robber Banks that "make the market". While it serves the world of commerce, they run it to make profits. And they opened the market up to foster prolific currency trading by others for the sole purpose of making more profits. They move prices up and down to "create liquidity" to fill the orders of SM (Smart Money) and DM (Dumb Money), for the commissions they make by filling the orders. When they have some orders above the current price and some below the current price, who do you think determines the sequence of direction and distance the price is going to move so these orders can be filled? And always - since they know how they are going to move price next - they take positions themselves to make additional profits.
They do this by:
1. Manipulating price to sucker into the market DM that is taking the wrong side position.
2. Manipulating price to sucker into the market SM that is taking the right side position, but too soon, and later manipulating price to hit their stops.
They have total control of pricing, and by these actions they effectively "steal" from others the money to fill their own "right side" positions before moving the price to the next area they have decided on for filling orders, and for taking profit on their positions built beforehand. Don't get me wrong. I do not object to the market volatility these thieving Robber Banks create. We need it. But we also need to understand what these people are like, the cloth they are cut from. They are crooks, and we have to be extra careful about trading in the market they operate. On some special days you can see them in their true colors. We should witness it. Take note of it. Speak of it. And remember it!
SuperIchi [LuxAlgo]Using one indicator as the core for another one to improve certain aspects while offering an alternative user interaction can be very interesting in technical analysis.
This indicator is a modification of the popular Ichimoku indicator using the equally popular Supertrend indicator as its core, thus no longer entirely relying on calculations done over a fixed window size but instead relying on the average true range and the trend detection method offered by the Supertrend.
Settings
Tenkan: Atr length (left) and factor (right) used for the Supertrend involved in the calculations of the Tenkan Ichimoku component
Kijun: Atr length (left) and factor (right) used for the Supertrend involved in the calculations of the Kijun Ichimoku component
Senkou Span B: Atr length (left) and factor (right) used for the Supertrend involved in the calculations of the second Senkou Span Ichimoku component
Displacement: Bar offset of the cloud (positive offset) and Chikou (negative offset)
Usage
The SuperIchi indicator can be interpreted similarly to a regular Ichimoku as it retains the components and aspects from this one. Users can make use of the Supertrend Factor to detect shorter or longer-term trends.
Unlike the regular components of the Ichimoku based on rolling maximums/minimums, using the Supertrend here allows smoother components and makes it less prone to whipsaw signals.
Note that the Chikou is disabled by default in the style settings
Details
The original Ichimoku indicator is constructed from the average between the rolling maximum high and minimum low values. The Supertrend indicator also relies on one upper/lower extremity but using the average of these extremities for the modification of the Ichimoku indicator might not provide easy to use results due to the nature of these extremities.
Instead, we compute the average between the Supertrend and trailing maximums/minimums with a value reset when a new trend is detected by the Supertrend. This allows obtaining a result that is closer to the original average used by Ichimoku.
MACD Bar 1.0 [upslidedown]MACD is one of the most consistent ways a trader can determine overall trend direction. In this script, I've simplified the traditional MACD histogram into a compact bar with trend change shapes (▲▼) when the MACD histogram goes under the zero line or above the zero line. With traditional MACD I often have to zoom in, wasting precious time. This indicator fixes that problem.
I use this script as a confirmation for other trigger signals, not as an entry or exit signal. I find this compact widget to be a preferable visualization of MACD on lower timeframes, while high timeframe analysis lends itself to the traditional MACD built-in with more data for decision making. This is also very useful when crafting trading strategies to quickly check for confluence of signals.
In addition to the traditional EMA smoothing that comes with MACD, I exposed a series of common moving average types. These include: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, SWMA, VWMA, Hull, TEMA, and ZLEMA. TEMA and ZLEMA are not standard builtins, but when looking for fast confirmation they can be very useful. They can also create LOTS of noise, so consider this wisely before changing the builtin methodology. One neat trick is to pair a "fast" version of this with fast moving average type and then a slow one using traditional EMA.
▲▼ signals = trend shift in direction of triangle
full color "bull or bear" color = strong trend
half color (semi-transparent) "bull or bear" color = weakening trend
CDOI ProfileCumulative Delta of Open Interest Profile
This script lets you visualize where there were Open Interest build-ups and discharges on a price basis.
It only supports pairs where TradingView added the appropriate Open Interest data (at the time of posting that is only Binance and Kraken perpetual contracts)
The script uses my own functions to poll lower timeframe data and compile it into a higher timeframe profile. And as such, it needs some tweaking to adjust it to your timeframe until Tradingview lets me do it codewise (hopefully one day)
The instructions for using the Indicators are as follows:
Condition: How often a new profile should be generated
Sampling Rate and 1/Nth of the TF: These have to be calculated together to have a product that should correspond to the current timeframe in minutes. A few examples below
----------- Sampling - 1Nth of the TF
5 min ------- 5 --------------- 1
10 min ------ 10 ------------- 1
15 min ------ 5 --------------- 3
20 min ------ 10 ------------- 2
30 min ------ 10 -------------- 3
45 min ------- 9 -------------- 5
1 hour ------- 10 ------------- 6
4 hours ----- 10 -------------- 24
1 day -------- 10 ------------- 144
Transparency: This one is pretty self-explanatory but only applies to the Profile bars
% change for a bar: This one indicates how precise each bar will be, but if you go too low the script becomes too heavy and stop running
Bar limit: Limits the amounts of bars the script is run for (ae for the last 1000 bars). Lower = faster loading, too high will stop running
UI color: Color and transparency of the center line and the box surrounding the whole profile
Trading Made Easy Pressure OscillatorAs always, this is not financial advice and use at your own risk. Trading is risky and can cost you significant sums of money if you are not careful. Make sure you always have a proper entry and exit plan that includes defining your risk before you enter a trade.
Those who have looked at my other indicators know that I am a big fan of Dr. Alexander Elder and John Carter. This is relevant to my trading style and to this indicator in general. While I understand it goes against TradingView rules generally to display other indicators while describing a new one, I need the Bollinger Bands, Bollinger Bands Width, and a secondary directional indicator to explain the full power of this indicator. In short, if this is strongly against the rules, I will edit the post as needed.
Those of you who are aware of John Carter are going to know this already, but for those who don’t, an explanation is necessary. John Carter is a relatively famous retail-turned-institutional (sort of) trader. He is the founder of TradetheMarkets, that later turned into SimplerTrading. Him and his company have a series of YouTube videos, he has made appearances on the MoneyShow, TastyTrade, and has authored a couple of books about trading. However, he is probably most famous for his “Squeeze” indicator that was originally launched on Thinkorswim and through his website but has now been incorporated into several trading platforms and even has a few open-source versions available here. In short, the Squeeze indicator looks to identify periods of consolidation and marry that with a momentum oscillator so you can position yourself in a quiet period before a large move. This in my opinion, is one of the best indicators an option trader can have, since options are priced both on time and volatility. To do this, the Squeeze identifies when the Bollinger Bands, a measure of price standard deviation, have contracted inside the Keltner Channels (a measure of the average range of a stock). This highlights something known as “the Squeeze”, when the 2x standard deviations (95% of all likely price movement using data from the past 20 periods) is less than the 1.5x average true range (ATR) of the stock over the same number of periods. These periods are when a stock is resting and in a period of consolidation and is generally followed by another large move once it has rested long enough. The momentum oscillator is used to determine the direction of this next move.
While I think this is one of the best indicators ever made, it is not without its pitfalls. I find that the “Squeeze” periods sometimes take too long to setup (something that was addressed by John and released in a new indicator, the Squeeze Pro, but even that is still slowish) and that the momentum oscillator was also a bit slow. They used a linear regression formula to track momentum, which can lag considerably at times. Collectively, this meant that getting into moves a few candles late was not uncommon or someone solely trading squeeze setups could have missed very good trade opportunities.
To improve on this, I present, the Trading Made Easy Pressure Oscillator. This more accurately identifies when volatility is reducing and the trading range is likely to contract, increasing the “pressure” on the price. This is often marked several candles before a “Squeeze” has started. To identify these ranges, I applied a 21-period exponential moving average to the Bollinger Bands Width indicator (BBW). As mentioned above, the Bollinger Bands measure the 2x standard deviation of price, typically based on a 20-period SMA. When the BBs expand, it marks periods of high volatility, when they contract, conversely, periods of low volatility. Therefore, applying an EMA to the BBW indicator allows us to confidently mark when volatility has slowed down earlier than traditional methods. The second improvement I made was using the Absolute Price oscillator instead of a linear regression-style oscillator. The APO is very similar to a MACD, it measures the difference between two exponential moving averages, here the 8 and 21 (Fibonacci EMAs). However, I find the APO to be smoother than the MACD, yet more reactive than the linear regression-style oscillators to get you into moves earlier.
Uses:
1) Buying before a bigger than expected move. This is especially relevant for options traders since theta decay will often eat away much of our profits while we wait for a large enough price move to offset the time decay. Here, we buy a call option/shares when the momentum oscillator matches the longer-term trend (i.e. the APO crosses over the zero line when price is above the 200-day EMA, and vice versa for puts/shorting the stock). This coincides with Dr. Elder’s Triple Screen Trading System, that we are aligning ourselves with the path of least resistance. We want to do this when price is currently in an increasing pressure situation (i.e. volatility is contracting) to make sure we are buying an option when premium and Implied Volatility is low so we can get a better price and have a better risk to reward ratio. Low volatility is denoted by a purple dot, high volatility a blue dot along the midline of the indicator. A scalper or short-term swing trader may look to exit when the blue dots turn purple signalling a likely end to a move. A longer-term trend trader can look to other exit scenarios, such as a cross of the oscillator below the zero line, signalling to go short, or using a moving average as a trailing stop.
2) Sell premium after a larger than expected move has finished. After a larger than expected move has completed (a series of blue dots is followed by a purple dot), use this time to sell theta-driven options strategies such as straddles, strangles, iron condors, calendar spreads, or iron butterflies, anything that benefits from contracting volatility and stagnating prices. This is useful here since reducing volatility typically means a contraction of prices and the reduced likelihood of a move outside of the normal range.
3) Divergences. This indicator is sensitive enough to highlight divergences. I personally don’t use it as such as I prefer to trend trade vs. reversion trade. Use at your own risk, but they are there.
In summary, this indicator improves upon the famous Squeeze indicator by increasing the speed at which periods of consolidation are marked and trend identification. I hope you enjoy it.
windowing_taAll Signals Are the Sum of Sines. When looking at real-world signals, you usually view them as a price changing over time. This is referred to as the time domain. Fourier’s theorem states that any waveform in the time domain can be represented by the weighted sum of sines and cosines. For example, take two sine waves, where one is three times as fast as the other–or the frequency is 1/3 the first signal. When you add them, you can see you get a different signal.
Although performing an FFT on a signal can provide great insight, it is important to know the limitations of the FFT and how to improve the signal clarity using windowing. When you use the FFT to measure the frequency component of a signal, you are basing the analysis on a finite set of data. The actual FFT transform assumes that it is a finite data set, a continuous spectrum that is one period of a periodic signal. For the FFT, both the time domain and the frequency domain are circular topologies, so the two endpoints of the time waveform are interpreted as though they were connected together. When the measured signal is periodic and an integer number of periods fill the acquisition time interval, the FFT turns out fine as it matches this assumption. However, many times, the measured signal isn’t an integer number of periods. Therefore, the finiteness of the measured signal may result in a truncated waveform with different characteristics from the original continuous-time signal, and the finiteness can introduce sharp transition changes into the measured signal. The sharp transitions are discontinuities.
When the number of periods in the acquisition is not an integer, the endpoints are discontinuous. These artificial discontinuities show up in the FFT as high-frequency components not present in the original signal. These frequencies can be much higher than the Nyquist frequency and are aliased between 0 and half of your sampling rate. The spectrum you get by using a FFT, therefore, is not the actual spectrum of the original signal, but a smeared version. It appears as if energy at one frequency leaks into other frequencies. This phenomenon is known as spectral leakage, which causes the fine spectral lines to spread into wider signals.
You can minimize the effects of performing an FFT over a noninteger number of cycles by using a technique called windowing. Windowing reduces the amplitude of the discontinuities at the boundaries of each finite sequence acquired by the digitizer. Windowing consists of multiplying the time record by a finite-length window with an amplitude that varies smoothly and gradually toward zero at the edges. This makes the endpoints of the waveform meet and, therefore, results in a continuous waveform without sharp transitions. This technique is also referred to as applying a window.
Here is a windowing_ta library with J.F Ehlers Windowing functions proposed on Sep, 2021.

Moving Average LinesDescription
This indicator combines three daily moving average lines and one intraday moving average lines into one convenient indicator. If you routinely use moving average lines on your charts this indicator will reduce indicator clutter, allow you to add more indicators, and provide one central location for all of your moving average settings.
The default length for the intraday moving average is 9. The defaults for the daily moving averages are 20, 50, and 200.
Lower Timeframes
This indicator also includes a very unique feature that displays the daily moving average lines onto lower timeframes. This is very useful for seeing if price will reverse off a daily moving average line while watching on a lower timeframe. Displaying daily moving averages on lower timeframes is controlled by an on/ff switch in the settings. So the user can use this feature only when it is convenient for them.
The default for displaying daily moving averages on lower timeframes is OFF.
Inputs & Style
Everything in this indicator can be independently configured. Each of the moving average lines can be toggle on or off. The length of each moving average lines can be adjusted. There are four mathematical functions that can be chosen for the moving average equations. And the colors and line style can be independently configured to fit your current charts style.
Moving Averages HistogramAn interesting idea is to simplify the display of whether ONE fast-moving average crosses FIVE other slower-moving averages using just a histogram.
The idea is to increase the step counter by 1 every time a fast-moving average crosses OVER one of the five slower-moving averages until reaching 5 (highest value) and decrease the step counter by 1 every time the fast-moving average crosses UNDER each one of the five slower moving averages until reaching 0 (lowest value of the histogram).
=== Cut To Chase ===
If the histogram is at the top value 5 (green), it means the FAST moving average is ABOVE ALL slower-moving averages, Hench, the asset is up trending.
If the histogram is at the bottom value 0 (red), it means the FAST moving average is BELOW ALL slower-moving averages, Hench, the asset is down trending.
If the histogram is in the midways between 0 to 5, it means the FAST moving average is starting to cross the slower moving averages which could lead to a trend reversal, up or down, it depends on the direction of the crossing.
=== Notes ===
You can change from a variety of moving averages like RMA, EMA, ALMA, HMA, and so on.
You can reduce the number of slow-moving averages by placing the same length.
You can visualize the moving averages in case you want to see how it works behind, by going to settings and clicking 'Show MA lines'.
Every moving average length can be modified inside settings.
Note that the fast-moving average should have the lowest length.
You can visualize how the moving average is plotted:
The Strat Screener - yungchoppsThis indicator scan up to 40 tickers of your choice for bullish and bearish Randy Jackson setups. Randy Jackson setups are 2u-2u-2d-2u for bullish cases and 2d-2d-2u-2d for bearish cases. If a ticker has a possible RJ setup, the ticker name will be display on the table depending if it is bullish or bearish. The only thing you need to do it change one of the default tickers to the ones you desire and the table will update if there are any RJ setups. The indicators search for RJ setups on the current timeframe that you are on.
Randy Jackson setups are part of the 'Strat' candlestick analysist. More information about the Strat can be found on the internet and YouTube. This indicator reads the previous candles of every selected ticker and searched for a RJ setup. If one exist, it will update the table with the tickers name. I will add more setups in the future.
This is a screener. This indicator really just makes it easier to scan many indicators at once. Its not hard to use... just place it on the chart and it will do the work for you. Hopefully mods find this enough of a description...
Linear Regression 200/100/50/20Four time frames in one indicator in different colors, showing current price trend in different scopes.
If the slope of the smaller time frame is in a (0,75;1,25) interval of some of the bigger ones the smaller one is omitted (different signs near zero are not coalesced in that way though).
Every time frame has four deltas of range in trend lines of different grade of transparency (2-1-4-3), as well as a vertical line denoting regression date range start, also bearing the same color (blue-red-green-gray for 200/100/50/20).
On the right of the latest bar are Pearson coefficients and slopes of the regressions, 200/100/50/20 bottom-up, also appropriately colored.
PSv5 Color Magic and Chart Theme SimulatorKEEP YOUR COINS FOLKS! I DON'T NEED THEM, DON'T WANT THEM. Many other talented authors on TV deserve them.
INTRODUCTION:
This is my "PSv5 Color Magic and Chart Theme Simulator" displayed using Pine Script version 5.0. The purpose of this PSv5 colorcator is to show vivid colors that are most suitable in my opinion for modifying or developing Pine scripts. Whether you are new to Pine or an experienced Pine poet, this should aid you in developing indicators with stunning color from the provided color list that is easily copied and pasted into any novel script you should possess. Whichever colors you choose, and how, is up to your imagination's capacity.
COMMENTARY:
I have a thesis. Pine essentially is a gigantor calculator with a lot of programmable bells and whistles to perform intense analytics. Zillions of numbers per day are blended up into another cornucopia of numbers to analyze. The thing is, ALL of those numbers are moot unless we can informatively portray them in various colorized forms with unique methods to point out significant numeric events. By graphically displaying them with specific modes of operation, only then do these numbers truly make any sense to us and become quantitatively beneficial.
I have to admit... I hate numbers. I never really liked them, even before I knew what an ema() was. Some days I almost can't stand them, and on occasion I feel they deserve to be flushed down the toilet at times. However, I'm a stickler for a proper gauge of measurements. Numbers are a mental burden, but they do have "purpose and meaning". That's where COLOR comes in! By applying color in specific ways in varying dynamic forms, we can generate smarter visual aids from these numerics. Numbers can be "transformed" into something colorful it wasn't before, into a tool, like a hammer. But we don't need a hammer, we need an impressive jack hammer for BIG problem solving that we could never achieve in the not to distant past.
As time goes on, we analytically measure more, and more, and more each year. It's necessary to our continual evolution. That's one significant difference between us and cave men, and the pertinent reason why we are quickly evolving as a species, while animals haven't. Humankind is gifted to enumerate very well AND blessed to see in color. We use it for innumerable things in the technological present for purpose and pleasure. Day in and day out, we take color for granted, because it's every where we can look. The fact is, color is the most important apparatus in humankind's existence EVER. We wouldn't have survived this far without it.
By utilizing color to it's grand potential, greater advancements can be attained while simultaneously being enjoyed visually. Once color is transformed from it's numeric origins into applicable tools, we can enjoy the style, elegance, and QUALITATIVE nature of the indication that can be forged. Quantities can't reveal all. Color on the other hand has a handy "quality" factor to it, often revealing things we can't ordinarily recognize. When high quality tools provide us with obtained goals, that's when we will realize how magical color truly is, always has been, and shall always be.
The future emerging economies and future financial vessels of people around the globe are going to be dependent on the secured construction of intelligent applications with a rock solid color foundation, not just math alone. I have no doubt about that. I can envision that with my eyes closed. To make an informed choice, it should be charted or graphed somehow prior to a final executive decision to trade. Going back to abysmal black and white with double decimal points placed next to cartoons within extinction doomed newspapers is not a viable option any more.
OBSERVATIONS AND UTILITY:
One thing you will notice is the code is very dense. Looks almost hideous right? Well, the variable naming is lengthy, but it's purpose is to be self explanatory, even for those who don't know how to program, YET. I'm simply not a notation enthusiast. My main intention was to provide clearly identifiable variables from their origin of assignment to their intended destination of use, clearly visible for anyone visiting. The empowerment of well versed words that are easier to understand, is a close rival to the prominent influence color has.
Secondly, I'm displaying hline() and label.new() as prime candidates to exemplify by demonstration how the "Power of Color" can be embraced with the "Power of Pine". Color in Pine has been extensively upgraded to serve novel purposes to accomplish next generation indicators that do and WILL come to exist. New functions included with PSv5 are color.rgb(), color.from_gradient(), color.r(), color.g(), color.b(), and color.t() to accompany color.new() in our mutual TV adventures. Keep in mind, the extreme agility of color also extends to line.new(), the "entirely new" linefill.new(), table.new(), bgcolor() and every other function that may utilize color.
There's a wide range of adjustability in Settings to make selections to see how they perform on different backgrounds, with their size and form. As you curiously toy with those, you're going to notice how some jump out like laser beams while others don't. Things that aren't visually appealing, still have very viable purposes, even if they don't stand out in the crowd. Often, that's preferable. The important thing is that when pertinent information relative to indication is crucial, you can program it with distinction from an assortment of a potential 1.67 million colors that can be created in Pine. "These" are my chosen favorite few, and I hope you adopt them.
PURPOSES:
For those of you who are new to Pine Script, this also may help you understand color hex/rgb and how it is utilized in Pine in a most effective manner. The most skilled of programmers can garner perks as well. There is countless examples of code diversity present here that are applicable in other scripts with adequate mutation. Any member has the freedom use any of this code in this script any way they see fit. It's specifically intended for all. There is absolutely no need for accreditation for any of this code reuse ever, in the present case. Don't worry about, I'm not.
The color_tostring() will be most valuable in troubleshooting color when using color.rgb() and becoming adept with it. I'm not going to be able to use color.rgb() without it. Chameleon indicators of the polychromatic variety are most likely going to be fine tuned with color_tostring() divulging it's results to label.new() or even table.new() maybe. One the best virtues of this script in chart, is when you hover over the generated labels, there's a hidden gift for those who truly wish to learn the intricate mechanics of diverse color in Pine. Settings has informative tooltips too.
AFTERTHOUGHTS:
Colors are most vibrant on the "Black Chart" which is the default, but it doesn't currently exist as a chart theme. With the extreme luminous intensity of LCDs in millicandela( mcd ), you may notice "Light" charts may saturate the colors making charts challenging to analyze. Because of this, I personally use "Dark Charts" and design my indicators specifically for these. I hope this provides inspiration for the future developers who are contemplating the creation of next generation indicators and how color may enhance their usefulness.
When available time provides itself, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and concepts presented below in the comments section, should you have any questions or comments regarding this indicator. When my indicators achieve more prevalent use by TV members , I may implement more ideas when they present themselves as worthy additions. Have a profitable future everyone!
ROC PercentileRate Of Change Percentile calculates the current ROC (user defined length) as a percentile rank.
We use 2 separate arrays, one for all positive ROC values and one for all negative values within a defined lookback period. Then the current ROC value is compared to those arrays to find it's percentile ranking.
For example, a ranking of 75 means the ROC is in the 75th percentile of all POSITIVE ROC values over the lookback period.
A ranking of -80 is in the 80th percentile of all NEGATIVE ROC values over the lookback period.
Most ROC scripts use raw ROC values (or smoothed or otherwise altered), or have stochastic formula applied to them, I've not seen one that displays ROC as percentile ranking of previous positive/negative values.
What is the advantage?
Raw ROC data only gives half the picture. What we want to do is compare the ROC to previous ROC values, to give a sense of scale. Raw ROC values don't give you that context and you can only compare visually, usually limited to the number of bars you can see on your screen.
Using a percentile ranking gives us the context of current Rate of Change relative to the previous Rate of Change over a large lookback period, and not just visually but mathematically.
Why not using a long stochastic ROC? The problem with stochastics in general is that an outlier data point can ruin the data for the rest of the lookback period.
For example, imagine a huge outlier 8% ROC. The 2nd largest ROC is 4% and the 3rd largest is 2%, with all other values below this.
In this example, a stochastic ROC would display the 8% outlier as 100, the 4% as 50, the 2% as 25 and all other data would be squeezed down between 0-25.
Additionally, a value of 60 may have vastly different meaning depending on whether the lookback period contains a large outlier or not.
With a percentile ranking, that 8% outlier would still have a value of 100. But the 4% and 2% would be 99 and 98 respectively (this assumes 100 data points in the series, in reality values will usually be decimals).
This effectively flattens the curve and gives a more consistent and dependable experience, allowing you to more accurately assess the relative importance of the current ROC.
The line of circles is set at the 50 and -50 values for quick comparison.
Values > 50 represent ROC greater than 50% of previous positive ROC values.
Values < -50 represent ROC greater than 50% of previous negative ROC values.
Tarot : Major ArcanaThis script generates a Major Arcana Tarot card for each candle at its close.
The candle is divided into 22 sections, each section corresponding to one of the Major Arcana.
When a candle closes, it closes in one of those 22 sections and that generates the card.
You could read green candles as upright and red candles as reversals.
Uses
----
Use this to pull a daily card on your chart.
Ask a question on the one-minute chart before the candle closes and wait for your answer.
Use it to forecast the upcoming market.
Anything else!
Enjoy.
MFI Divergence Indicator Our Developer Malin converted the built-in RSI divergence indicator to MFI (Money Flow Index).
How to apply?
Notice 1: MFI, unlike the RSI, incorporates volume. It thus is an indicator of a higher precision when it comes to finding the the moment to sell - or - the moment to enter.
Notice 2: In Ranging Markets MFI (and RSI) is a solid momentum indicator to buy or sell. The asset displayed shows a slight markdown. Thus, we are looking primarily for short positions. Once can tell by us omitting the first 2 hidden bearish divergence signals and then entering the market.
Notice 3: Divergences depend on pivot points. The drawback with pivot points is that it is a lagging indication of a potential reversal. The more time (bars) one takes to confirm a reversal the less profitable is the trade - but less risky. In the charts one can tell that we enter the market 5 bars later. Usually that is not the tip of the reversal.
Notice 4: One must adapt the left and right periods of the indicator to risk/reward ratio, length of swing / frequency modulation and volatility of the price action.
