Money Flow DivergenceThe Money Flow Divergence indicator is designed to help traders identify periods when there is a significant divergence between the growth of the U.S. M2 money supply and the S&P 500 index (SPX).
This divergence can provide insights into potential market turning points, making it a valuable tool for long-term investors and traders looking to capitalize on macroeconomic trends.
How It Works:
Data Sources:
S&P 500 Index (SPX) and U.S. M2 Money Supply.
Calculating Growth Rates:
SPX Growth: The script calculates the percentage growth of the S&P 500 index by comparing the current closing price with the previous period's closing price.
M2 Growth: Similarly, it calculates the percentage growth of the U.S. M2 money supply by comparing the current value with the previous period's value.
Growth Gap/Delta:
Growth Gap: The core of the indicator is the "growth gap" or "delta," which is the difference between the M2 money supply growth and the SPX growth. This gap indicates whether liquidity in the economy (represented by M2) is outpacing or lagging behind the performance of the stock market.
Interpretation:
Positive Gap (Green Bars): When the M2 growth outpaces SPX growth, the gap is positive, indicating that there is more liquidity in the system than what is being reflected in the stock market. This scenario often signals potential upward momentum in the market, making it a good time to consider buying.
Negative Gap (Red Bars): When the SPX growth outpaces M2 growth, the gap is negative, suggesting that the market may be overextended relative to the available liquidity. This can be a warning sign of potential market corrections or downturns.
Visualization:
The indicator plots the growth gap as a histogram with bars colored based on the gap value:
Green Bars: Indicate a positive gap where M2 growth is higher than SPX growth.
Red Bars: Indicate a negative gap where SPX growth is higher than M2 growth.
The bars are thickened for better visibility, and a horizontal line at zero is plotted to help users easily distinguish between positive and negative gaps.
How To Use It:
Time Frame Selection: Users can select the desired time frame (e.g., monthly, weekly) for the data. This flexibility allows traders to analyze the indicator over different periods, depending on their investment horizon.
Monthly time frames seem to work best.
Interpreting the Indicator:
Bullish Signals: Look for sustained periods of positive growth gaps (green bars), which may indicate a favorable environment for buying or holding long positions.
Bearish Signals: Be cautious during periods of negative growth gaps (red bars), which could signal overvaluation in the market or potential pullbacks.

Enio_SPX_Accumulation/DistributionThis indicator handles the same inputs used for classic Accumulation and Distribution indicators, but performs the calculations in a different way.
This indicator is used to compare the positive volume (up volume) and the number of advancing stocks against the negative volume (down volume) and the number of declining stocks.
This indicator only measures SPX market breadth (Advancing issues, Declining issues) and SPX volume (Up and down volume)so it is for use only with SPX, SPY or MES. It can also be used with ES, but data outside of regular trading hours is not provided, the indicator in those cases will print a block of the same height and same color as the last RTH bar.
When the histogram is positive or green, the bars change to a lighter color if the current bar is less than the average of the last 3 bars. A continued set of bars with a lighter color could mean that the trend is about to change.
When the histogram is negative or red, the bars change to a lighter color if the current bar is greater than the average of the last 3 bars. A continued set of bars with a lighter color could mean that the trend is about to change.
When the histogram height is low, could signal a choppy market (SPX).
The histogram can help indicate a trending market when the opening trend is maintained and the color of the bars does not change, for example, a solid green increasing histogram can indicate a bullish trending market, while a solid red decreasing histogram will indicate a strong bearish trend.
In intraday trading the indicator can signal if the SPX price changes are supported by volume and market breadth and also allows you to see when these changes or trend are weakening.
The change from green (positive) to red (negative) and vice versa should not be taken alone as a buy/sell signal but as a confirmation of signals from other indicators you trust.
Due to the great specific weight that some stocks have within the SPX price calculation, the divergences of this indicator with SPX, can be taken as warning signals, but should not become an element of trading decisions. . You could see a negative histogram while SPX is positive and vice versa.
Combined EMA Technical AnalysisThis script is written in Pine Script (version 5) for TradingView and creates a comprehensive technical analysis indicator called "Combined EMA Technical Analysis." It overlays multiple technical indicators on a price chart, including Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), VWAP, MACD, PSAR, RSI, Bollinger Bands, ADX, and external data from the S&P 500 (SPX) and VIX indices. The script also provides visual cues through colors, shapes, and a customizable table to help traders interpret market conditions.

See Documentation from CNN's website
CNN's Fear and Greed index is an attempt to quantitatively score the Fear and Greed in the SPX using 7 factors:
Market Momentum- S&P 500 (SPX) and its 125-day moving average
Stock Price Strength -Net new 52-week highs and lows on the NYSE
Stock Price Breadth - McClellan Volume Summation Index
Put and Call options - 5-day average put/call ratio
Market Volatility - VIX and its 50-day moving average
Safe Haven Demand - Difference in 20-day stock and bond returns
Junk Bond Demand - Yield spread: junk bonds vs. investment grade
Each Factor has a weight input for the final calculation initially set to a weight of 1. The final calculation of the index is a weighted average of each factor.
3 Factors have separate functions for calculation : See Code for Clarity
SPX Momentum : difference between the Daily CBOE:SPX index value and it's 125 Day Simple moving average.
Stock Price Strength : Net New 52-week highs and lows on the NYSE.
Function calculates a measure of Net New 52-week highs by:
NYSE 52-week highs (INDEX:MAHN) - all new NYSE Highs (INDEX:HIGH)
measure of Net New 52-week lows by:
NYSE 52-week lows (INDEX:MALN) - all new NYSE Lows (INDEX:LOWN)
Then calculate a ratio of Net New 52-week Highs and Lows over Total Highs and Lows then takes a 5-day moving average of that ratio-See Code
Stock Price Breadth is the McClellan Volume Summation Index :
First Calculate the McClellan Oscillator
Second Calculate the Summation Index
4 Factors are Straight data requests
5 Day Simple Moving Average of the Put-Call Ratio on SPY
50 Day Simple Moving Average of the SPX VIX
Difference between 20 Day Simple Moving Average of SPX Daily Close and 20 Day Simple Moving Average of 10Y Constant Maturity US Treasury Note
Yield Spread between ICE BofA US High Yield Index and ICE BofA US Investment Grade Corporate Yield Index
The Fear and Greed Index is a weighted average of these factors - which is then normalized to scale from 0 to 100 using the past 25 values - length parameter.
3 Zones are Shaded: Red for Extreme Fear, Grey for normal jitters, Green for Extreme Greed.

FEAR & GREED INDEX FAQs
What is the CNN Business Fear & Greed Index?
The Fear & Greed Index is a way to gauge stock market movements and whether stocks are fairly priced. The theory is based on the logic that excessive fear tends to drive down share prices, and too much greed tends to have the opposite effect.
How is Fear & Greed Calculated?
The Fear & Greed Index is a compilation of seven different indicators that measure some aspect of stock market behavior. They are market momentum, stock price strength, stock price breadth, put and call options, junk bond demand, market volatility, and safe haven demand. The index tracks how much these individual indicators deviate from their averages compared to how much they normally diverge. The index gives each indicator equal weighting in calculating a score from 0 to 100, with 100 representing maximum greediness and 0 signaling maximum fear.
How often is the Fear & Greed Index calculated?
Every component and the Index are calculated as soon as new data becomes available.
How to use Fear & Greed Index?
The Fear & Greed Index is used to gauge the mood of the market. Many investors are emotional and reactionary, and fear and greed sentiment indicators can alert investors to their own emotions and biases that can influence their decisions. When combined with fundamentals and other analytical tools, the Index can be a helpful way to assess market sentiment.
Rule Of 20 - Fair Value Estimation by Inflation & Earnings (TG)The Rule Of 20 is a heuristic calculation to find the fair value of an asset or market given its earnings and current inflation.
Its calculation is straightforward: the fair multiple of the price or price-to-earnings ratio of a stock should be 20 minus the rate of inflation.
In math terms: fair_price-to-earnings_ratio = (20 - inflation) ; fair_value = current_price * fair_price-to-earnings_ratio / real_price-to-earnings_ratio
For example, if a stock or index was trading on 11 times earnings and inflation was 2%, then the theory would be that the fair price-to-earnings ratio would be 20-2 = 18, which is much higher than the real price-to-earnings ratio of 11, and hence the asset would be undervalued.
Conversely, a market or company that was trading on 18 times price-to-earnings ration when inflation was 8% was seen as overvalued, because of the fair price-to-earnings ratio being 20-8=12, hence much lower than the real price-to-earnings ratio of 18.
We can then project the delta between the fair PE and real PE onto the asset's value to obtain the projected fair value, which may be a target of future value the asset may reach or hover around.
For example, as of 1st November 2022, SPX stood at 3871.97, with a PE ratio of 20.14 and an inflation in the US of 7.70. Using the Rule Of 20, we find that the fair PE ratio is 20-7.7=12.3, which is much lower than the current PE ratio of 20.14 by 39%! This may indicate a future possibility of a further downside risk by 39% from current valuation levels.
The origins of this rule are unknown, although the legendary US fund manager Peter Lynch is said to have been an active proponent when he was directing the Fidelity’s Magellan fund from 1977 to 1990.
For more infos about the Rule Of 20, reading this article is recommended: www.sharesmagazine.co.uk
This indicator implements the Rule Of 20 on any asset where the Financials are availble to TradingView, and also for the entire SP:SPX index as a way to assess the wider US stock market. Technically, the calculation is a bit different for the latter, as we cannot access earnings of SPX through Financials on TradingView, so we access it using the QUANDL:MULTPL/SP500_PE_RATIO_MONTH ticker instead.
By default are displayed:
current asset value in red
fair asset value according to the Rule Of 20 in white for SPX, or different shades of purple/maroon for other assets. Note that for SPX there is only one calculation, whereas for other assets there are multiple different ways to calculate earnings, so different fair values can be computed.
fair price-to-earnings ratio (PE ratio) in light grey.
real price-to-earnings ratio in darker grey.
This indicator can be used on SP:SPX ticker, and on most NASDAQ:* tickers, since they have Financials integrated in TradingView. Stocks tickers from other exchanges may not provide Financials data, so this indicator won't work then. If this happens, try to find the same ticker on NASDAQ instead.
Note that by default, only the US stock market is considered. If you want to consider stocks or assets in other regions of the world, please change the inflation ticker to a ticker that reflect the target region's inflation.
Also adding a table to ease interpretation was considered, but then the Timeframe MTF parameter would not work, and since the big advantage of this indicator is to allow for historical comparisons, the table was dropped.
Enjoy, and keep in mind that all models are wrong, but some are useful.
Trade safely!

Price Correction to fix data manipulation and mispricingPrice Correction corrects for index and security mispricing to the extent possible in TradingView on both daily and intraday charts. Price correction addresses mispricing issues for specific securities with known issues, or the user can build daily candles from intraday data instead of relying on exchange reported daily OHLC prices, which can include both legitimate special auction and off-exchange trades or illegitimate mispricing. The user can also detect daily OHLC prices that don’t reflect the intraday price action within a specified percent deviation. Price Correction functions as normal candles or bars for any time frame when correction is not needed.
On the 4th of October 2022, the AMEX exchange, owned by the New York Stock Exchange, decided to misprice the daily OHLC data for the SPY, the world’s largest ETF fund. The exchange eliminated the overnight gap that should have occurred in the daily chart that represents regular trading hours by showing a wick connecting near the close of the previous day. Neither the SPX, the SP500 cash index that the SPY ETF tracks, nor other SPX ETFs such as VOO or IVV show such a wick because significant price action at that level never occurred. The intraday SPY chart never shows the price drop below 372.31 that day, but there is a wick that extends to 366.57. On the 6th of October, they continued this practice of using a wick that connects with the close of the previous day to eliminate gaps in daily price action. The objective of this indicator is to fix such inconsistent mispricing practices in the SPY, NYA, and other indices or securities.
Price Correction corrects for the daily mispricing in the SPY to agree with the price action that actually occurred in the SPX index it tracks, as well as the other SPX ETFs, by using intraday data. The chart below compares the Price Correction of the SPY (top) to the SPX (middle) and the original mispriced SPY (bottom) with incorrect wicks. Price correction (top) removes those incorrect wicks (bottom) to match the SPX (middle).
The daily mispricing of the SPY follows after the successful deployment of the NYSE Composite Index mispricing, NYA, an index that represents all common stocks within the New York Stock Exchange, the largest exchange in the world. The importance of the NYA should not be understated. It is the price counterpart to NYSE’s market internals or statistics. Beginning in 2021, the New York Stock Exchange eliminated gaps in daily OHLC data for the NYA by using the close of the previous day as the open for the following day, in violation of their own NYSE Index Series Methodology. The Methodology states for the opening price that “The first index level is calculated and published around 09:30 ET, when the U.S. equity markets open for their regular trading session. The calculation of that level utilizes the most updated prices available at that moment.” You can verify for yourself that this is simply not the case. The first update of the NYA price for each day matches the close of the previous day, not the “most updated prices available at that moment”, causing data providers to often represent the first intraday bar with a huge sudden price change when an overnight price change occurred instead. For example, on 13 Jun 2022, TradingView shows a one-minute bar drop 2.3%. With a market capitalization of roughly 23 trillion dollars, the NYSE composite capitalization did not suddenly drop a half-trillion dollars in just one minute as the intraday chart data would have you believe. All major US indices, index ETFs, and even foreign indices like the Toronto TAX, the Australian ASXAL, the Bombay SENSEX, and German DAX had down gaps that day, except for the mispriced NYSE index. Price Correction corrects for this mispricing in daily OHLC data, as shown in the main chart at the top of this page comparing the original NYA (top) to the Price Corrected NYA (bottom).
Price Correction also corrects for the intraday mispricing in the NYA. The chart below shows how the Price Correction (top) replaces the incorrect first one-minute candles with gaps (bottom) from 22 Sep 2022 to 29 Sep 2022. TradingView is inconsistent in how intraday data is reported for overnight gaps by sometimes connecting the first intraday bar of the day to the close of the previous day, and other times not. This inconsistency may be due to manually changing the intraday data based on user support tickets. For example, after reporting the lack of a major gap in the NYA daily OHLC prices that existed intraday for 13 Jun 2022, TradingView opted to remove the true gap in intraday prices by creating a 2.3% half-a-trillion-dollar one-minute bar that connected the close of the previous day to show a sudden drop in price that didn’t occur, instead of adding the gap in the daily OHLC data that actually took place from overnight price action.
Price Correction allows users to detect daily OHLC data that does not reflect the intraday price action within a certain percent difference by changing the color of those candles or bars that deviate. The chart below clearly shows the start of the NYSE disinformation campaign for NYA that started in 2021 by painting blue those candles with daily OHLC values that deviated from the intraday values by 0.1%. Before 2021, the number of deviating candles is relatively sparse, but beginning in 2021, the chart is littered with deviating candles.
If there are other index or security mispricing or data issues you are aware of that can be incorporated into Price Correction, please let me know. Accurate financial data is indispensable in making accurate financial decisions. Assert your right to accurate financial data by reporting incorrect data and mispricing issues.
How to use the Price Correction
Simply add this “indicator” to your chart and remove the mispriced default candles or bars by right clicking on the chart, selecting Settings, and de-selecting Body, Wick, and Border under the Symbol tab. The Presets settings automatically takes care of mispricing in the NYA and SPY to the extent possible in TradingView. The user can also build their own daily candles based off of intraday data to address other securities that may have mispricing issues.
MenthorQ Levels ConversionLevels Conversion helps traders accurately overlay price levels from spot/index ETFs and indices (like SPX, SPY, QQQ, NDX) onto futures charts (like ES, NQ, etc.).
Because futures and spot/index prices don’t trade at the same price, your levels will be misaligned if you plot them directly. Futures typically trade at a spread or ratio versus their related index/ETF. This indicator solves that by calculating the conversion ratio automatically, so your levels stay aligned on the futures chart.
How it works
This script calculates the ratio between Asset A and Asset B and applies it to convert levels from one instrument to the other (for example, SPX → ES, QQQ → NQ).
Ratio options (3 modes)
You can choose one of three ratio sources:
✅ T1 Ratio (Morning Snapshot)
Select a specific time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 10:00 AM ET (morning session snapshot)
✅ T2 Ratio (Afternoon Snapshot)
Select a second time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 3:30 PM ET (afternoon snapshot)
✅ Last Price Ratio (Live)
Uses the last traded price of both assets to compute the ratio.
Note: To refresh the “Last Price” baseline, simply remove and re-add the indicator.

Fabian Z-ScoreFabian Z-Score — % Distance & Z-Scores for SPX / DJI / XLU
What it does
This indicator measures how far three market proxies are from a moving average and standardizes those distances into z-scores so you can spot stretch/mean-reversion and relative out/under-performance.
Universe: S&P 500 (SPX), Dow Jones (DJI) and Utilities (XLU). You can change any of these in Inputs.
Anchor MA: user-selectable MA type (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA/VWMA/HMA/LSMA/ALMA) and length (default 39; a popular weekly anchor).
Outputs
% from MA: 100 × (𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒 − 𝑀𝐴) / 𝑀𝐴
Time-series Z: z-score of the last N % distances (default 39) → “how stretched vs its own history?”
Cross-sectional Z: z-score of each % distance within the trio on this bar → “who’s strongest vs the others right now?”
A compact mini table (top-right) shows the latest values for each symbol: % from MA, Z(ts) and Z(xsec).
Panels & Visualization
Toggle what you want to see in View:
Plot % distance — raw % above/below the MA (0% line shown).
Plot time-series Z — standardized stretch with ±Threshold guides (default ±2σ).
Plot cross-sectional Z — relative z across SPX, DJI, XLU (0 = at the trio’s mean).
Smoothing — optional light MA on the plotted series (set to 1 for none).
A price-panel Moving Average is drawn with your chosen type/length for visual context.
Colors: SPX = teal, DJI = orange, XLU = purple.
Alerts
Two built-in alert conditions (time-series Z only):
“Z(ts) crosses up +Thr” — any of the three crosses above +Threshold.
“Z(ts) crosses down -Thr” — any crosses below −Threshold.
When enabled, the chart background tints faint green (up cross) or red (down cross) on those bars.
How to use (ideas, not advice)
On weekly charts, a 39-length MA/Z lookback often captures major risk-on/off swings. (Fabian Timing)
Deep negative Z(ts) (e.g., ≤ −2σ or −3σ) frequently accompanies panic and mean-reversion setups.
High positive Z(ts) suggests over-extension; watch for momentum fades.
Cross-sectional Z helps rank leadership today:
Z(xsec) > 0 → stronger than the trio’s mean this bar; Z(xsec) < 0 → weaker.
Utilities (XLU) turning positive x-sec while the others are negative can hint at defensive rotation.
If all 3 are above 0, go long, if below 0 go cash.
Combine: look for extreme Z(ts) aligning with lead/lag Z(xsec) to time entries/exits or hedges.
Inputs (quick reference)
Symbols: SPX / DJI / XLU (editable).
MA type & length: SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, LSMA, ALMA; default EMA(39).
Z-score lookback (ts): default 39.
Smoothing on plots: default 1 (off).
Z threshold (±): default 2.0 (guide lines & alerts).
Money Flow Divergence IndicatorOverview
The Money Flow Divergence Indicator is designed to help traders and investors identify key macroeconomic turning points by analyzing the relationship between U.S. M2 money supply growth and the S&P 500 Index (SPX). By comparing these two crucial economic indicators, the script highlights periods where market liquidity is outpacing or lagging behind stock market growth, offering potential buy and sell signals based on macroeconomic trends.
How It Works
1. Data Sources
S&P 500 Index (SPX500USD): Tracks the stock market performance.
U.S. M2 Money Supply (M2SL - Federal Reserve Economic Data): Represents available liquidity in the economy.
2. Growth Rate Calculation
SPX Growth: Percentage change in the S&P 500 index over time.
M2 Growth: Percentage change in M2 money supply over time.
Growth Gap (Delta): The difference between M2 growth and SPX growth, showing whether liquidity is fueling or lagging behind market performance.
3. Visualization
A histogram displays the growth gap over time:
Green Bars: M2 growth exceeds SPX growth (potential bullish signal).
Red Bars: SPX growth exceeds M2 growth (potential bearish signal).
A zero line helps distinguish between positive and negative growth gaps.
How to Use It
✅ Bullish Signal: When green bars appear consistently, indicating that liquidity is outpacing stock market growth. This suggests a favorable environment for buying or holding positions.
❌ Bearish Signal: When red bars appear consistently, meaning stock market growth outpaces liquidity expansion, signaling potential overvaluation or a market correction.
Best Timeframes for Analysis
This indicator works best on monthly timeframes (M) since it is designed for long-term investors and macro traders who focus on broad economic cycles.
Who Should Use This Indicator?
📈 Long-term investors looking for macroeconomic trends.
📊 Swing traders who incorporate liquidity analysis in their strategies.
💰 Portfolio managers assessing market liquidity conditions.
🚀 Use this indicator to stay ahead of market trends and make informed investment decisions based on macroeconomic liquidity shifts! 🚀
Statistical Package for the Trading Sciences [SS]
This is SPTS.
It stands for Statistical Package for the Trading Sciences.
Its a play on SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) by IBM (software that, prior to Pinescript, I would use on a daily basis for trading).
Let's preface this indicator first:
This isn't so much an indicator as it is a project. A passion project really.
This has been in the works for months and I still feel like its incomplete. But the plan here is to continue to add functionality to it and actually have the Pinecoding and Tradingview community contribute to it.
As a math based trader, I relied on Excel, SPSS and R constantly to plan my trades. Since learning a functional amount of Pinescript and coding a lot of what I do and what I relied on SPSS, Excel and R for, I use it perhaps maybe a few times a week.
This indicator, or package, has some of the key things I used Excel and SPSS for on a daily and weekly basis. This also adds a lot of, I would say, fairly complex math functionality to Pinescript. Because this is adding functionality not necessarily native to Pinescript, I have placed most, if not all, of the functionality into actual exportable functions. I have also set it up as a kind of library, with explanations and tips on how other coders can take these functions and implement them into other scripts.
The hope here is that other coders will take it, build upon it, improve it and hopefully share additional functionality that can be added into this package. Hence why I call it a project. Okay, let's get into an overview:
Current Functions of SPTS:
SPTS currently has the following functionality (further explanations will be offered below):
Ability to Perform a One-Tailed, Two-Tailed and Paired Sample T-Test, with corresponding P value.
Standard Pearson Correlation (with functionality to be able to calculate the Pearson Correlation between 2 arrays).
Quadratic (or Curvlinear) correlation assessments.
R squared Assessments.
Standard Linear Regression.
Multiple Regression of 2 independent variables.
Tests of Normality (with Kurtosis and Skewness) and recognition of up to 7 Different Distributions.
ARIMA Modeller (Sort of, more details below)
Okay, so let's go over each of them!
T-Tests
So traditionally, most correlation assessments on Pinescript are done with a generic Pearson Correlation using the "ta.correlation" argument. However, this is not always the best test to be used for correlations and determine effects. One approach to correlation assessments used frequently in economics is the T-Test assessment.
The t-test is a statistical hypothesis test used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups. It assesses whether the sample means are likely to have come from populations with the same mean. The test produces a t-statistic, which is then compared to a critical value from the t-distribution to determine statistical significance. Lower p-values indicate stronger evidence against the null hypothesis of equal means.
A significant t-test result, indicating the rejection of the null hypothesis, suggests that there is statistical evidence to support that there is a significant difference between the means of the two groups being compared. In practical terms, it means that the observed difference in sample means is unlikely to have occurred by random chance alone. Researchers typically interpret this as evidence that there is a real, meaningful difference between the groups being studied.
Some uses of the T-Test in finance include:
Risk Assessment: The t-test can be used to compare the risk profiles of different financial assets or portfolios. It helps investors assess whether the differences in returns or volatility are statistically significant.
Pairs Trading: Traders often apply the t-test when engaging in pairs trading, a strategy that involves trading two correlated securities. It helps determine when the price spread between the two assets is statistically significant and may revert to the mean.
Volatility Analysis: Traders and risk managers use t-tests to compare the volatility of different assets or portfolios, assessing whether one is significantly more or less volatile than another.
Market Efficiency Tests: Financial researchers use t-tests to test the Efficient Market Hypothesis by assessing whether stock price movements follow a random walk or if there are statistically significant deviations from it.
Value at Risk (VaR) Calculation: Risk managers use t-tests to calculate VaR, a measure of potential losses in a portfolio. It helps assess whether a portfolio's value is likely to fall below a certain threshold.
There are many other applications, but these are a few of the highlights. SPTS permits 3 different types of T-Test analyses, these being the One Tailed T-Test (if you want to test a single direction), two tailed T-Test (if you are unsure of which direction is significant) and a paired sample t-test.
Which T is the Right T?
Generally, a one-tailed t-test is used to determine if a sample mean is significantly greater than or less than a specified population mean, whereas a two-tailed t-test assesses if the sample mean is significantly different (either greater or less) from the population mean. In contrast, a paired sample t-test compares two sets of paired observations (e.g., before and after treatment) to assess if there's a significant difference in their means, typically used when the data points in each pair are related or dependent.
So which do you use? Well, it depends on what you want to know. As a general rule a one tailed t-test is sufficient and will help you pinpoint directionality of the relationship (that one ticker or economic indicator has a significant affect on another in a linear way).
A two tailed is more broad and looks for significance in either direction.
A paired sample t-test usually looks at identical groups to see if one group has a statistically different outcome. This is usually used in clinical trials to compare treatment interventions in identical groups. It's use in finance is somewhat limited, but it is invaluable when you want to compare equities that track the same thing (for example SPX vs SPY vs ES1!) or you want to test a hypothesis about an index and a leveraged share (for example, the relationship between FNGU and, say, MSFT or NVDA).
Statistical Significance
In general, with a t-test you would need to reference a T-Table to determine the statistical significance of the degree of Freedom and the T-Statistic.
However, because I wanted Pinescript to full fledge replace SPSS and Excel, I went ahead and threw the T-Table into an array, so that Pinescript can make the determination itself of the actual P value for a t-test, no cross referencing required :-).
Left tail (Significant):
Both tails (Significant):
Distributed throughout (insignificant):
As you can see in the images above, the t-test will also display a bell-curve analysis of where the significance falls (left tail, both tails or insignificant, distributed throughout).
That said, I have not included this function for the paired sample t-test because that is a bit more nuanced. But for the one and two tailed assessments, the indicator will provide you the P value.
Pearson Correlation Assessment
I don't think I need to go into too much detail on this one.
I have put in functionality to quickly calculate the Pearson Correlation of two array's, which is not currently possible with the "ta.correlation" function.
Quadratic (Curvlinear) Correlation
Not everything in life is linear, sometimes things are curved!
The Pearson Correlation is great for linear assessments, but tends to under-estimate the degree of the relationship in curved relationships. There currently is no native function to t-test for quadratic/curvlinear relationships, so I went ahead and created one.
You can see an example of how Quadratic and Pearson Correlations vary when you look at CME_MINI:ES1! against AMEX:DIA for the past 10 ish months:
Pearson Correlation:
Quadratic Correlation:
One or the other is not always the best, so it is important to check both!
R-Squared Assessments:
The R-squared value, or the square of the Pearson correlation coefficient (r), is used to measure the proportion of variance in one variable that can be explained by the linear relationship with another variable. It represents the goodness-of-fit of a linear regression model with a single predictor variable.
R-Squared is offered in 3 separate forms within this indicator. First, there is the generic R squared which is taking the square root of a Pearson Correlation assessment to assess the variance.
The next is the R-Squared which is calculated from an actual linear regression model done within the indicator.
The first is the R-Squared which is calculated from a multiple regression model done within the indicator.
Regardless of which R-Squared value you are using, the meaning is the same. R-Square assesses the variance between the variables under assessment and can offer an insight into the goodness of fit and the ability of the model to account for the degree of variance.
Here is the R Squared assessment of the SPX against the US Money Supply:
Standard Linear Regression
The indicator contains the ability to do a standard linear regression model. You can convert one ticker or economic indicator into a stock, ticker or other economic indicator. The indicator will provide you with all of the expected information from a linear regression model, including the coefficients, intercept, error assessments, correlation and R2 value.
Here is AAPL and MSFT as an example:
Multiple Regression
Oh man, this was something I really wanted in Pinescript, and now we have it!
I have created a function for multiple regression, which, if you export the function, will permit you to perform multiple regression on any variables available in Pinescript!
Using this functionality in the indicator, you will need to select 2, dependent variables and a single independent variable.
Here is an example of multiple regression for NASDAQ:AAPL using NASDAQ:MSFT and NASDAQ:NVDA :
And an example of SPX using the US Money Supply (M2) and AMEX:GLD :
Tests of Normality:
Many indicators perform a lot of functions on the assumption of normality, yet there are no indicators that actually test that assumption!
So, I have inputted a function to assess for normality. It uses the Kurtosis and Skewness to determine up to 7 different distribution types and it will explain the implication of the distribution. Here is an example of SP:SPX on the Monthly Perspective since 2010:
And NYSE:BA since the 60s:
And NVDA since 2015:
ARIMA Modeller
Okay, so let me disclose, this isn't a full fledge ARIMA modeller. I took some shortcuts.
True ARIMA modelling would involve decomposing the seasonality from the trend. I omitted this step for simplicity sake. Instead, you can select between using an EMA or SMA based approach, and it will perform an autogressive type analysis on the EMA or SMA.
I have tested it on lookback with results provided by SPSS and this actually works better than SPSS' ARIMA function. So I am actually kind of impressed.
You will need to input your parameters for the ARIMA model, I usually would do a 14, 21 and 50 day EMA of the close price, and it will forecast out that range over the length of the EMA.
So for example, if you select the EMA 50 on the daily, it will plot out the forecast for the next 50 days based on an autoregressive model created on the EMA 50. Here is how it looks on AMEX:SPY :
You can also elect to plot the upper and lower confidence bands:
Closing Remarks
So that is the indicator/package.
I do hope to continue expanding its functionality, but as of now, it does already have quite a lot of functionality.
I really hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. This. Has. Taken. AGES! No joke. Between referencing my old statistics textbooks, trying to remember how to calculate some of these things, and wanting to throw my computer against the wall because of errors in the code, this was a task, that's for sure. So I really hope you find some usefulness in it all and enjoy the ability to be able to do functions that previously could really only be done in external software.
As always, leave your comments, suggestions and feedback below!
Take care!
Market InternalsMarket internals can be a powerful tool for determining future moves, overall trend health and provide a means of directional confidence.
This indicator watches a handful of SPX and US stocks based internals to determine key areas of sentiment changes, the internals monitored are:
US Stocks Ticks
Call and Put SPX Volume
SPX Gamma Dispersion
US Stocks Ask and Big Volume
US Stocks Advancing and Declining Issues
Each time there's a bullish or bearish sentiment change it will be market with green/red flag and a single letter that identifies what market internal has changed.
SPX gamma dispersion events aren't to be considered directional from historical observations made but can be a sign of liquidity adjustments and when paired with any of the other aforementioned internals sentiment changes can be used as a powerful signal.
If it's observed that market internals are changing erratically then it's a clear indication of market chop and best to wait for cleaner trends.
Future updates may include non-SPX based internals analysis, change in display, alerts/alertconditions and more. Feel free to comment with any desired changes and we can discuss!
Correlative Move IndicatorEDIT: When loading this indicator it uses a default symbol for comparison of SPX. On Tradingview SPX is a Daily price (unless you buy real time) so you will see "Loading ..." and never see data. Move out to a daily time frame -or- switch the symbol to something available intraday. /EDIT
Correlates the movement of the price you are graphing to the price of someting else that you pick (default is SPX, see EDIT above)
Comments in code explain what I did. If correlations are too tight for CC to show anything but a flat line try this.
Please comment / improve.
=====================
// A simple indicator that looks complex (impress your friends)
// Provides rate of change in the propensity of something
// to move in correlation with whatever you are graphing.
// Inputs are:
// "Compared symbol" - standard Trading View symbol input. You can input ratios & formulas if you like; Defaults to SPX
// "Invert?" - by default the indicator shows the item you have charted as numerator and the "Compared symbol"
// the denominator. So if you graphed "UVXY" and open this indicator with default compared symbol "SPX" then
// the base relationship is UVXY/SPX. Click the box if you want SPX/UVXY (for example) instead.
// "Fast EMA Period" - the period for the fast EMA (white line). default = 7
// "Slow EMA Period" - the period for the slow EMA (black line). default = 27. Important: the bakground color of the indicator
// changes based on this EMA hitting threshold values below.
// "+ threshold" - > threshold for green background. default = 1.0
// "- threshold" - < threshold for red background. default = 0.99
// "BBand Period" - number of periods back for BBand (1 std deviation) calculation. default = 15
// Does not measure correlation per se - it measures change in that correlation.
// If two things do not correlate well in the first place then you will see a lot of noise
// and I wish you much luck in interpreting it.
// However, if two things do correlate well (like VXX and VIX) then this will help you detect
// circumstances where that correlation is unstable. Such instability can signal change in direction.
// I developed it to track real time changes in contango / backwardation in various VIX futures instruments which I trade.
// Tip - always try invert - sometimes the correlation changes become clearer. That can be because the threshold bias
// towards "+" with the defaults here, so think about what the "logical" relationship is and adjust the thresholds, or invert,
// or do both. Just remember - the indicator is below the item you are charting, so the default "source"/"compared"
// relationship is intuitive as you look at the screen. Volatility traders, however, will find "invert" useful with default
// thresholds signalling "green" for contango and "red" for backwardation.
// Short and long ema trends added for smoothing and trend change indications.
// Background color changes to green when correlation changing "positively" and red when "negatively" and white when near 1.
// Think of the value "1" as representing the base "1 to 1" correlation between two things. That doesn't mean same price -
// it means same rate and direction in change in price.
// 1 std deviation is used to build a basic Bollinger Band in blue. The number of periods for calculating that is an input.
// You may find a change in correlation signal outside a Bollinger Band signals a direction change. TV alerts can be
// set for such events.
Swing Trading IndicatorThis script is a swing‑trading dashboard designed for BTC, ETH, S&P 500 (for now). It combines weekly RSI, USDT.D, VIX, moving averages and Fisher Transform into a single visual tool, with background highlights, an on‑chart info table and ready‑made alerts to help you time high‑probability swing entries and manage risk.
1. Overview
The indicator is intended to work on daily timeframe.
Signals are context‑aware: BTC and ETH get USDT.D conditions, SPX gets VIX and EMA‑100 logic, and all non‑ETH symbols can also use Fisher Transform as a mean‑reversion filter.
2. Conditions and background highlights
Each component sets a boolean condition and, when active, paints a background layer:
Weekly RSI condition
True when weekly RSI is below its symbol‑specific threshold.
USDT.D conditions
BTC: triggered when USDT.D is above the user threshold and the chart symbol is BTC.
ETH: same logic for ETH, but tracked separately..
VIX condition (SPX only)
True when VIX high is at or above the VIX threshold while the chart is SPX.
EMA condition (BTC & SPX)
BTC: daily close below EMA‑200.
SPX: daily close below EMA‑100.
Fisher Transform condition (non‑ETH)
Fisher Transform on the chart timeframe, using the configured period.
True when Fisher value is below the Fisher threshold.
3. Intended use and notes
This indicator is designed as a confluence tool for swing traders, not a standalone buy/sell system. It works best on assets that are in a clear uptrend, where the main idea is to accumulate during corrections within that broader bullish structure.
During larger market shocks, deep corrections, or black‑swan events, trend‑based and mean‑reversion filters can produce false signals, because volatility and correlations often behave abnormally in those periods. For that reason, this script should always be combined with independent risk management, higher‑timeframe trend analysis, and your own discretion.
Z-score RegimeThis indicator compares equity behaviour and credit behaviour by converting both into z-scores. It calculates the z-score of SPX and the z-score of a credit proxy based on the HYG divided by LQD ratio.
SPX z-score shows how far the S&P 500 is from its rolling average.
Credit z-score shows how risk-seeking or risk-averse credit markets are by comparing high-yield bonds to investment-grade bonds.
When both z-scores move together, the market is aligned in either risk-on or risk-off conditions.
When SPX z-score is strong but credit z-score is weak, this may signal equity strength that is not supported by credit markets.
When credit z-score is stronger than SPX z-score, credit markets may be leading risk appetite.
The indicator plots the two z-scores as simple lines for clear regime comparison.
Correlation HeatMap [TradingFinder] Sessions Data Science Stats🔵 Introduction
n financial markets, correlation describes the statistical relationship between the price movements of two assets and how they interact over time. It plays a key role in both trading and investing by helping analyze asset behavior, manage portfolio risk, and understand intermarket dynamics. The Correlation Heatmap is a visual tool that shows how the correlation between multiple assets and a central reference asset (the Main Symbol) changes over time.
It supports four market types forex, stocks, crypto, and a custom mode making it adaptable to different trading environments. The heatmap uses a color-coded grid where warmer tones represent stronger negative correlations and cooler tones indicate stronger positive ones. This intuitive color system allows traders to quickly identify when assets move together or diverge, offering real-time insights that go beyond traditional correlation tables.
🟣 How to Interpret the Heatmap Visually ?
Each cell represents the correlation between the main symbol and one compared asset at a specific time.
Warm colors (e.g. red, orange) suggest strong negative correlation as one asset rises, the other tends to fall.
Cool colors (e.g. blue, green) suggest strong positive correlation both assets tend to move in the same direction.
Lighter shades indicate weaker correlations, while darker shades indicate stronger correlations.
The heatmap updates over time, allowing users to detect changes in correlation during market events or trading sessions.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its ability to overlay global market sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or major equity opens directly onto the heatmap timeline. This alignment lets traders observe how correlation structures respond to real-world session changes. For example, they can spot when assets shift from being inversely correlated to moving together as a new session opens, potentially signaling new momentum or macro flow. The customizable symbol setup (including up to 20 compared assets) makes it ideal not only for forex and crypto traders but also for multi-asset and sector-based stock analysis.
🟣 Use Cases and Advantages
Analyze sector rotation in equities by tracking correlation to major indices like SPX or DJI.
Monitor altcoin behavior relative to Bitcoin to find early entry opportunities in crypto markets.
Detect changes in currency alignment with DXY across trading sessions in forex.
Identify correlation breakdowns during market volatility, signaling possible new trends.
Use correlation shifts as confirmation for trade setups or to hedge multi-asset exposure
🔵 How to Use
Correlation is one of the core concepts in financial analysis and allows traders to understand how assets behave in relation to one another. The Correlation Heatmap extends this idea by going beyond a simple number or static matrix. Instead, it presents a dynamic visual map of how correlations shift over time.
In this indicator, a Main Symbol is selected as the reference point for analysis. In standard modes such as forex, stocks, or crypto, the symbol currently shown on the main chart is automatically used as the main symbol. This allows users to begin correlation analysis right away without adjusting any settings.
The horizontal axis of the heatmap shows time, while the vertical axis lists the selected assets. Each cell on the heatmap shows the correlation between that asset and the main symbol at a given moment.
This approach is especially useful for intermarket analysis. In forex, for example, tracking how currency pairs like OANDA:EURUSD EURUSD, FX:GBPUSD GBPUSD, and PEPPERSTONE:AUDUSD AUDUSD correlate with TVC:DXY DXY can give insight into broader capital flow.
If these pairs start showing increasing positive correlation with DXY say, shifting from blue to light green it could signal the start of a new phase or reversal. Conversely, if negative correlation fades gradually, it may suggest weakening relationships and more independent or volatile movement.
In the crypto market, watching how altcoins correlate with Bitcoin can help identify ideal entry points in secondary assets. In the stock market, analyzing how companies within the same sector move in relation to a major index like SP:SPX SPX or DJ:DJI DJI is also a highly effective technique for both technical and fundamental analysts.
This indicator not only visualizes correlation but also displays major market sessions. When enabled, this feature helps traders observe how correlation behavior changes at the start of each session, whether it's Tokyo, London, New York, or the opening of stock exchanges. Many key shifts, breakouts, or reversals tend to happen around these times, and the heatmap makes them easy to spot.
Another important feature is the market selection mode. Users can switch between forex, crypto, stocks, or custom markets and see correlation behavior specific to each one. In custom mode, users can manually select any combination of symbols for more advanced or personalized analysis. This makes the heatmap valuable not only for forex traders but also for stock traders, crypto analysts, and multi-asset strategists.
Finally, the heatmap's color-coded design helps users make sense of the data quickly. Warm colors such as red and orange reflect stronger negative correlations, while cool colors like blue and green represent stronger positive relationships. This simplicity and clarity make the tool accessible to both beginners and experienced traders.
🔵 Settings
Correlation Period: Allows you to set how many historical bars are used for calculating correlation. A higher number means a smoother, slower-moving heatmap, while a lower number makes it more responsive to recent changes.
Select Market: Lets you choose between Forex, Stock, Crypto, or Custom. In the first three options, the chart’s active symbol is automatically used as the Main Symbol. In Custom mode, you can manually define the Main Symbol and up to 20 Compared Symbols.
Show Open Session: Enables the display of major trading sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or equity market opening hours directly on the timeline. This helps you connect correlation shifts with real-world market activity.
Market Mode: Lets you select whether the displayed sessions relate to the forex or stock market.
🔵 Conclusion
The Correlation Heatmap is a robust and flexible tool for analyzing the relationship between assets across different markets. By tracking how correlations change in real time, traders can better identify alignment or divergence between symbols and gain valuable insights into market structure.
Support for multiple asset classes, session overlays, and intuitive visual cues make this one of the most effective tools for intermarket analysis.
Whether you’re looking to manage portfolio risk, validate entry points, or simply understand capital flow across markets, this heatmap provides a clear and actionable perspective that you can rely on.

Correlation Coefficient [Giang]### **Introduction to the "Correlation Coefficient" Indicator**
#### **Idea behind the Indicator**
The "Correlation Coefficient" indicator was developed to analyze the linear relationship between Bitcoin (**BTCUSD**) and other important economic indices or financial assets, such as:
- **SPX** (S&P 500 Index): Represents the U.S. stock market.
- **DXY** (Dollar Index): Reflects the strength of the USD against major currencies.
- **SPY** (ETF representing the S&P 500): A popular trading instrument.
- **GOLD** (Gold price): A traditional safe-haven asset.
The correlation between these assets can help traders understand how Bitcoin reacts to market movements of traditional financial instruments, providing opportunities for more effective trading decisions.
Additionally, the indicator allows users to **customize asset symbols for comparison**, not limited to the default indices (SPX, DXY, SPY, GOLD). This flexibility enables traders to tailor their analysis to specific goals and portfolios.
---
#### **Significance and Use of Correlation in Trading**
**Correlation** is a measure of the linear relationship between two data series. In the context of this indicator:
- **The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1**:
- **1**: Perfect positive relationship (both increase or decrease together).
- **0**: No linear relationship.
- **-1**: Perfect negative relationship (one increases while the other decreases).
- **Use in trading**:
- Identify **strong relationships or unusual divergences** between Bitcoin and other assets.
- Help determine **market sentiment**: For example, if Bitcoin has a negative correlation with DXY, traders might expect Bitcoin to rise when the USD weakens.
- Provide a foundation for hedging strategies or investments based on inter-asset relationships.
---
#### **Components of the Indicator**
The "Correlation Coefficient" indicator consists of the following key components:
1. **Main Data (BTCUSD)**:
- The closing price of Bitcoin is used as the central asset for calculations.
2. **Comparison Data**:
- Users can select different asset symbols for comparison. By default, the indicator supports:
- **SPX**: Stock market index.
- **DXY**: Dollar Index.
- **SPY**: Popular ETF.
- **GOLD**: Gold price.
3. **Correlation Coefficients**:
- Calculated between BTC and each comparison index, based on a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) over a user-defined period.
4. **Graphical Representation**:
- Displays individual correlation coefficients with each comparison index, making it easier for traders to track and analyze.
---
#### **How to Analyze and Use the Indicator**
**1. Identify Key Correlations:**
- Observe the correlation lines between BTC and the indices to determine positive or negative relationships.
- Example:
- If the **Correlation Coefficient (BTC-DXY)** sharply declines to -1, this indicates that when USD strengthens, Bitcoin tends to weaken.
**2. Analyze the Strength of Correlations:**
- **Strong Correlations**: If the coefficient is close to 1 or -1, the relationship between the two assets is very clear.
- **Weak Correlations**: If the coefficient is near 0, Bitcoin may be influenced by other factors outside the compared index.
**3. Develop Trading Strategies:**
- Use correlations to predict Bitcoin's price movements:
- If BTC has an inverse relationship with **DXY**, traders might consider selling BTC when the USD strengthens.
- If BTC and **SPX** are strongly correlated, traders can monitor the stock market to predict Bitcoin's trend.
**4. Evaluate Changes Over Time:**
- Use different timeframes (daily, weekly) to track the correlation's fluctuations.
- Look for unusual signals, such as a breakdown or shift from positive to negative relationships.
---
#### **Conclusion**
The "Correlation Coefficient" indicator is a powerful tool that helps traders analyze the relationship between Bitcoin and major financial indices. The ability to customize asset symbols for comparison makes the indicator flexible and suitable for various trading strategies. When used correctly, this indicator not only provides insights into market sentiment but also supports the development of intelligent trading strategies and optimized profits.
Scaled Historical ATR [SS]Hello again everyone,
This is the Scaled ATR Range indicator. This was done in response to an article/analysis I posted regarding the expected high and range on SPX. I would encourage you to read it here:
Essentially, I took SPX data, scaled it to correct for inflation, then calculated the ATR for Bullish years to get our average range to expect and our close range to expected.
I accomplished this analysis using Excel; however, I figured Pinescript would handle this type of task more elegantly, and I was correct!
This indicator is the result.
What it does:
This indicator permits the analyst to select a historic period in time. The indicator will then scale the period into returns and convert the range to a corrected range based on the current position of the ticker. How it does this is by converting the returns of the historic period selected, then multiplying the returns by the current period open, to ensure that the range amounts are corrected for inflation and natural growth of a ticker.
I say analyst because this indicator is intended to be used by both professional and recreational analysts, to give them an easy way to:
a) Scale historic data and correct it based on the current rate; and
b) Offer insight into a ticker’s ATR and behaviour during bullish and bearish periods.
Prior to this indicator, the only way to do this would be manually or the use of statistical software.
How to use?
The indicator’s use is quite simple. Once launched, the indicator will ask the user to input a timeframe period that the user is interested in assessing. In the main chart above, I chose SPX between 1995 and 2001.
The user can further filter down the data using the settings menu. In the settings menu, there is an option to filter by “All”, “Bullish Periods” or “Bearish Periods”.
Filtering by “All”
Filtering by “All” will include all candles selected within the timeframe. This includes both bearish and bullish candles. It will give you the averaged out range for the entire period of time, including both bearish and bullish instances.
Filtering by “Bullish”
Filtering by “Bullish” will omit any red candles from the analysis. It will only return the ATR ranges for green, bullish candles.
Filtering by “Bearish”
Inverse to filtering by Bullish, if you filter by Bearish, it will only include the red, bearish candles in the analysis.
My suggestion? If you are trying to determine t he likely outcome of a bullish year, filter by Bullish instances. If you want the likely outcome of a bearish year, filter by Bearish.
Other features of the Indicator:
The indicator will display the current period statistics. In the main chart above, you can see that the current ranges for this year are displayed. This allows you to do a side by side comparison of the current period vs. the historic period you are looking at. This can alert you to further upside, further downside and the anticipated close range. It can also alert you to whether or not we are following a similar trajectory as the historical periods you are looking at.
As well, the indicator will list target prices for the current period based on the historical periods you are looking at. This helps to put things into perspective.
Concluding Remarks
And that is the indicator in a nutshell! I encourage you to read the article I linked above to see how you may use it in an analysis. This would be the best example of a real world application of this indicator!
Otherwise, I hope you enjoy and, as always, safe trades!
[dharmatech] Area Under Yield Curve : USThis indicator displays the area under the U.S. Treasury Securities yield curve.
If you compare this to SP:SPX , you'll see that there are large periods where they are inversely related. Other times, they track together. When the move together, watch out for the expected and eventual divergence.
By default, this indicator will show up in a separate pane. If you move it to an existing pane (e.g. along side SP:SPX ) you'll need to move it to a different price scale.
The area under the yield curve is a quick way to see if the overall yield curve moved up or down. Generally speaking, increasing yields isn't good for markets, unless there is some other stimulus going on simultaneously.
The following treasury securities are used in this calculation:
FRED:DGS1MO (1 month)
FRED:DGS3MO (3 month)
FRED:DGS6MO (6 month)
FRED:DGS1 (1 year)
FRED:DGS2 (2 year)
FRED:DGS3 (3 year)
FRED:DGS5 (5 year)
FRED:DGS7 (7 year)
FRED:DGS10 (10 year)
FRED:DGS20 (20 year)
FRED:DGS30 (30 year)
Ultimate Correlation CoefficientIt contains the Correlations for SP:SPX , TVC:DXY , CURRENCYCOM:GOLD , TVC:US10Y and TVC:VIX and is intended for INDEX:BTCUSD , but works fine for most other charts as well.
Don't worry about the colored mess, what you want is to export your chart ->
TradingView: How can I export chart data?

VIX Rule of 16There’s an interesting aspect of VIX that has to do with the number 16. (approximately the square root of the number of trading days in a year).
In any statistical model, 68.2% of price movement falls within one standard deviation (1 SD ). The rest falls into the “tails” outside of 1 SD .
When you divide any implied volatility (IV) reading (such as VIX ) by 16, the annualized number becomes a daily number
The essence of the “rule of 16.” Once you get it, you can do all sorts of tricks with it.
If the VIX is trading at 16, then one-third of the time, the market expects the S&P 500 Index (SPX) to trade up or down by more than 1% (because 16/16=1). A VIX at 32 suggests a move up or down of more than 2% a third of the time, and so on.
• VIX of 16 – 1/3 of the time the SPX will have a daily change of at least 1%
• VIX of 32 – 1/3 of the time the SPX will have a daily change of at least 2%
• VIX of 48 – 1/3 of the time the SPX will have a daily change of at least 3%
Volatility barometerIt is the indicator that analyzes the behaviour of VIX against CBOE volaility indices (VIX3M, VIX6M and VIX1Y) and VIX futures (next contract to the front one - VX!2). Because VIX is a derivate of SPX, the indicator shall be used on the SPX chart (or equivalent like SPY).
When the readings get above 90 / below 10, it means the market is overbought / oversold in terms of implied volatility. However, it does not mean it will reverse - if the price go higher along with the indicator readings then everything is fine. There is an alarming situation when the SPX is diverging - e.g. the price go higher, the readings lower. It means the SPX does not play in the same team as IVOL anymore and might reverse.
You can use it in conjunction with other implied volatility indicators for stronger signals: the Correlation overlay ( - the indicator that measures the correlation between VVIX and VIX) and VVIX/VIX ratio (it generates a signal the ratio makes 50wk high).
VIX-VXV-Ratio-Buschi
English:
This script shows the ratio between the VIX (implied volatility of SPX options over the next month) and the VXV (implied volatility of SPX options over the next three months). Since in normal "Contango" mode, the VXV should be higher than the VIX, the crossing under 1.0 or maybe 0.95 after a volatility spike could be a sign for a calming market or at least a calming volatility.
Deutsch:
Dieses Skript zeigt das Verhältnis zwischen dem VIX (implizite Volatilität der SPX-Optionen über den nächsten Monat) und dem VXV (implizite Volatilität der SPX-Optionen über die nächsten drei Monate). Da im normalen "Contango"-Modus der VXV höher als der VIX liegen sollte, kann das Abfallen unter 1,0 oder 0,95 nach einer Volatilitätsspitze ein Anzeichen für einen ruhiger werdenden Markt oder zumindest eine ruhiger werdende Volatilität sein.
