SPY Trend-Based Buy Signals🔹 Overview
This indicator identifies potential buy signals on any asset by combining MACD and Stochastic Oscillator crossovers, while using the SPY’s trend (via exponential moving averages) as a broader market filter.
It helps traders stay aligned with macro momentum and avoid counter-trend entries.
🔍 How it works
SPY Trend Filter (Daily Timeframe):
Pulls SPY (S&P 500 ETF) data using EMAs (5, 20, 80)
Categorizes SPY market trend with color codes:
🟢 Green: Strong uptrend (EMA5 > EMA20 > EMA80)
🟡 Yellow: Potential uptrend / early momentum (EMA5 < EMA20 > EMA80)
🔴 Red: Downtrend (EMA5 < EMA20 < EMA80)
🔵 Blue: Possible trend reversal or mixed trend (EMA5 > EMA20 < EMA80)
Buy Signal Conditions (Combined Logic):
A signal is only triggered when:
- SPY trend is either yellow or blue (indicating a neutral-to-bullish or early recovery environment)
-The Stochastic Oscillator's %D line is below 50, showing possible upside
- A bullish MACD crossover occurs on the current symbol
🟢 Green signal: MACD crossover occurs below 0 (early reversal)
🟠 Orange signal: MACD crossover occurs above 0 (momentum continuation)
📈 Visual Output
🟢 Green label below the bar when an early reversal setup occurs
🟠 Orange label above the bar when a trend continuation signal appears
✅ Best Use Case
Ideal for:
Swing traders and position traders
LEAPS (long-term options) traders aligning entries with SPY trend
Anyone seeking clean, contextual entries filtered by market momentum
⚠️ Note: This indicator is most effective when used on fundamentally strong stocks that are sector leaders with solid earnings growth and market presence. Use technical signals as a complement to quality fundamentals.
ℹ️ Clarification: The moving averages displayed on the chart (e.g., on QQQ) are for visual reference only, to help users understand the color logic of the SPY trend filter. The actual logic and signals are based on SPY’s moving averages, regardless of the charted symbol.
SPY Volume Weighted CloseHey everyone!
Deciding to make this indicator public and open access.
This is a volume weighted close indicator for SPY. It is a statistics based indicator.
How it works:
It uses volume data mixed with some price action data to prospectively predict where SPY's price will close within a 30 minute interval.
As such, its different from other indicators in the sense that its not reactive, it proactive and actively predicts the price that SPY will see within the next 30 minutes and where SPY will most likely close at.
It has 3 bands. The main centre band (blue, but colour can be changed) is the most likely price that SPY will close at within the next 30 minutes.
The Upper Level Confidence and Lower Level Confidence bands are the expected range that the analysis thinks SPY will remain confined in based on current volume and price action.
How to Use it:
I personally use this in place of VWAP, but the applications are infinite. Take a look at the chart below:
Applications:
This is specifically programmed for SPY but I have used it with other stocks such as QQQ, UPRO and DIA. However, using it with those stocks, the upper and lower confidence bands are not helpful. But YMMV with other stocks. This is specifically designed for SPY.

SPY 1 Minute Day TraderWhen scalping options, users are looking for where breakouts are going to occur instead of sitting thru areas choppy price action that drain delta and cause them to lose value even if price is up trending. This script tries to identify when a trend reversal is expected based on one minute price action on the SPY. It alerts users to prepare for potential breakout when 5 out of the 6 key optimized parameters are discovered by showing a white L or S. Once all six trigger, it informs the user at the close of that candle with a golden triangle with Pivot Up or Pivot Down. As scalping options is something that is expected to be short in duration, a take profit and stop loss of 30 cents of price actions is established. If five or more parameters occur after the pivot is initiated, then stop losses and take profits are adhered to; however, if there are less, then it waits to take profit or stop the trade, as likely it is just noise and it will finish trend with an additional breakout.
This script has been created to take into account how the following variables impact trend for SPY 1 Minute:
ema vs 13 ema : A cross establishes start of trend
MACD (Line, Signal & Slope) : If you have momentum
ADX : if you are trending
RSI : If the trend has strength
The above has been optimized to determine pivot points in the trend using key values for these 6 indicators
bounce up = ema5 > ema13 and macdLine < .5 and adx > 20 and macdSlope > 0 and signalLine > -.1 and rsiSignal > 40
bounce down = ema5 < ema13 and macdLine > -.5 and adx > 20 and signalLine < 0 and macdSlope < 0 and rsiSignal < 60
White L's indicate that 5 of 6 conditions are met due to impending uptrend w/ missing one in green below it
Yellow L's indicate that 6 of 6 conditions still are met
White S's indicate that 5 of 6 conditions are met due to impending downtrend w/ missing condition in red above it
Yellow S's indicate that 6 of 6 conditions still are met
After a downtrend or uptrend is established, once it closes it can't repeat for 10 minutes
Won't open any trades on last two minutes of any hours to avoid volatility
Will close any open trades going into last minute of hour to avoid large overnight random swings.

SPY Option returns calculations This script allows you to calculate returns on double butterfly options, specifically for 0 DTE and 1 DTE(days to expiration) for options that have expiration on Monday, Tuesday and Friday(Mostly SPY). The script is bi-directional, meaning it will calculate the returns on a put and call butterfly simultaneously, not just a put or just a call butterfly. The script was developed to calculate how much return could be made on opening a double butterfly option by opening a position right at the open of the day on a 0 DTE option. The script rounds the price up or down to the nearest strike price at open. From there you would need to chose how far to select your options from the opening strike price. You would also need to select how many contracts you would like to open, negative - is selling an option positive + is buying an option. As an example the script is defaulted to a 0,2,4 strike position with buying 1 contract at the 0, selling 3 contracts at the +/- 2 strike and selling 2 contracts at the +/- strike. The default is set to an unbalanced double butterfly as it allows a better credit collection than a standard butterfly. To change to a standard butterfly change the # of contracts to 1 -2 and 1 respectively.
The script defaults a return of 0 on Tuesdays and Thursdays as there are no 0 DTE options available on those days.
If you have questions about script ask ... if you have questions about options ... the answers will likely take too much time to answer.

Relative Strength (Volatility Adjusted)The volatility adjusted relative strength indicator offers a more precise approach to traditional RS indicators by incorporating volatility adjustments into its calculations. This will provide traders with a more nuanced view of relative performance between a selected instrument and a comparison index.
Identifying Relative Strength (RS) and Weakness (RW) against a benchmark like the SPY is crucial for traders, as it highlights institutional activity in an equity, which retail traders rarely achieve on their own. However, the traditional method of simply comparing the rate of change of a stock to the rate of change for the SPY can be flawed. This method often fails to account for the inherent volatility of each stock, leading to misleading RS/RW readings.
Consider two stocks that both move in response to SPY's movements. If SPY moves significantly more than its average (measured by its ATR), and the stock does the same, traditional RS calculations might show strength when, in fact, the stock is just mirroring SPY's increased volatility. For instance, if SPY typically moves $0.25 an hour but suddenly moves $1, and a stock typically moves $0.50 but moves $2, the stock's apparent RS might be overstated, when in reality there is no relative strength for the stock.
By adjusting for volatility using the ATR (Average True Range), we normalize these movements and get a clearer picture of true RS/RW. For example, if SPY moves 5 times its average rate and a stock moves the same multiple of its own ATR, the RS should be considered neutral rather than strong. Similarly if a stock in absolute terms moves $1 while the SPY also moves $1 but the stock usually moves at twice the rate of the SPY, the stock should be considered relatively weak - not neutral.
Usage
Use this to identify stocks with actual strength or weakness compared to the market.
When the RS line is above 0 and above the moving average it indicates a stock with relative strength that is still gaining more strength.
When the RS line is above 0 but above the moving average it indicates a stock with relative strength that is currently losing strength.
When the RS line is below 0 and below the moving average it indicates a stock with relative weakness that is still losing strength.
When the RS line is below 0 but above the moving average it indicates a stock with relative weakness that is starting to gain back some strength.
Stock vs SPY % ChangeStock vs SPY % Change Indicator
This Pine Script indicator helps you compare a stock's price performance to the S&P 500 (using SPY ETF) over a user-defined period. It calculates the percentage price change of the stock and SPY, then displays the difference as a relative performance metric. A positive value (plotted in green) indicates the stock is outperforming SPY (e.g., dropping only 3% while SPY drops 10%), while a negative value (plotted in red) shows underperformance.
Features:
Adjustable lookback period (default: 20 days) to analyze recent performance.
Visual plot with green/red coloring for quick interpretation.
Zero line to clearly separate outperformance from underperformance.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to your stock's chart.
Set the "Lookback Period" in the settings (e.g., 20 for ~1 month).
Check the plot:
Green (above 0) = Stock's % change is better than SPY's.
Red (below 0) = Stock's % change is worse than SPY's.
Use on daily or weekly charts for best results.
Ideal for identifying stocks that hold up better during market downturns or outperform in uptrends. Perfect for relative strength analysis and to spot accumulation.
Rolling Beta against SPY📈 Pine Script Showcase: Rolling Beta Against SPY
Understanding how your favorite stock or ETF moves in relation to a benchmark like the S&P 500 can offer powerful insights into risk and exposure. This script calculates and visualizes the rolling beta of any asset versus the SPY ETF (which tracks the S&P 500).
🧠 What Is Beta?
Beta measures the sensitivity of an asset's returns to movements in the broader market. A beta of:
- 1.0 means the asset moves in lockstep with SPY,
- >1.0 indicates higher volatility than the market,
- <1.0 implies lower volatility or possible defensive behavior,
- <0 suggests inverse correlation (e.g., hedging instruments).
🧮 How It Works
This script computes rolling beta over a user-defined window (default = 60 periods) using classic linear regression math:
- Calculates daily returns for both the asset and SPY.
- Computes covariance between the two return streams.
- Divides by the variance of SPY returns to get beta.
⚙️ Customization
You can adjust the window size to control the smoothing:
- Shorter windows capture recent volatility changes,
- Longer windows give more stable, long-term estimates.
📊 Visual Output
The script plots the beta series dynamically, allowing you to observe how your asset’s correlation to SPY evolves over time. This is especially useful in regime-change environments or during major macroeconomic shifts.
💡 Use Cases
- Portfolio construction: Understand how your assets co-move with the market.
- Risk management: Detect when beta spikes—potentially signaling higher market sensitivity.
- Market timing: Use beta shifts to infer changing investor sentiment or market structure.
📌 Pro Tip: Combine this rolling beta with volatility, Sharpe ratio, or correlation tracking for a more robust factor-based analysis.

Daily SPY PlanThe Daily SPY Plan indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to provide traders with a visual representation of price levels and take profit points for the SPY (S&P 500 ETF) on a daily timeframe. This indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate projected price levels and take profit points, aiding traders in identifying potential breakout and profit-taking opportunities.
Indicator Description:
The indicator is written in Pine Script, specifically for use on the TradingView platform. It plots several levels on the price chart, each representing a potential breakout or take profit point. The levels are determined based on a fraction of the ATR added or subtracted from the closing price. The fractions used are 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 times the ATR.
The indicator distinguishes between breakout levels and take profit levels using different colors. Breakout levels, which indicate potential entry or exit points, are displayed in green, while take profit levels are shown in gray.
Key Features and Use:
ATR Calculation: The indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR) using a specified length (default value of 14). ATR is a measure of market volatility and represents the average range between the high and low prices over a specific period.
Projected Price Levels: The indicator plots several projected price levels above and below the closing price. These levels are calculated by adding or subtracting a fraction of the ATR from the closing price. Traders can use these levels as potential breakout points or areas to set stop-loss orders.
Take Profit Points: The indicator also plots take profit points at specific levels above and below the closing price. These levels are designed to help traders identify potential areas to secure profits or partially exit their positions.
Visual Representation: The indicator utilizes step-like lines to plot the projected price levels and take profit points, providing a clear visual representation on the price chart. Traders can easily identify the relevant levels and incorporate them into their trading strategies.
Customizability: The indicator allows traders to customize the ATR length and choose whether to display Fibonacci levels (although there are no Fibonacci calculations in the provided code). These customization options enable traders to adapt the indicator to their preferred trading style and timeframe.
Limitations and Considerations:
Complementary Analysis: The Daily SPY Plan indicator should be used as a complementary tool alongside other technical analysis techniques and indicators. It provides price levels and take profit points based on ATR calculations, but it doesn't incorporate additional market factors or trading strategies.
Timeframe Suitability: The indicator is specifically designed for the daily timeframe of the SPY. Traders should consider adjusting the parameters and adapting the indicator if using it on different timeframes or instruments.
Risk Management: While the indicator suggests potential breakout and take profit points, it does not provide explicit stop-loss levels or risk management parameters. Traders should incorporate appropriate risk management techniques to protect their capital.
Conclusion:
The Daily SPY Plan indicator is a valuable technical analysis tool for traders focusing on the SPY ETF and the daily timeframe. By utilizing the ATR, it helps traders identify potential breakout levels and take profit points. However, traders should remember that this indicator is just one piece of the puzzle and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
S&P 500 E-Mini TrackerThis script generates a reference price for the S&P 500 ETF - SPY based on the current price of the ES contract, which is an E-Mini Futures contract representing the S&P 500 index. The indicator plots this reference price on the chart, providing a unique view of the relationship between these two popular markets.
Advantages:
Identifies divergence between the ES and SPY prices, indicating potential trading opportunities or shifts in market sentiment.
Confirms trends by showing the correlation between the ES and SPY prices.
Eliminates the need for multiple charts, allowing traders to focus on a single screen and make more informed decisions.
Customizable Parameters:
Color Scheme: Choose from various color options to customize the appearance of the indicator.
Line Style: Select from different line styles to change the visual representation of the reference price.
Divisor: Set the dividing factor to adjust the ratio at which the reference price is calculated. (Default value: 10). It is recommended to keep it at 10 for SPY.
To use it with other Stocks/ ETFs, use simple ratio math to calculate the divisor and you can customize the indicator to scale accordingly.
By using this indicator, traders can gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the E-Mini and SPY markets, making it easier to identify trading opportunities and confirm trends.
VIX/VOLI RatioWe all know TVC:VIX . But what is NASDAQ:VOLI ?
VOLI is basically a measure of expectations for market volatility over the next 30 calendar days as expressed by ATM options on AMEX:SPY
nations.com
So why is this VIX /VOLI ratio important? It's because it can give an important measure of options skew.
It can show the premium of OTM options (particularly puts) over ATM.
It can show if traders are interested in owning wings in AMEX:SPY
Not a lot of info can be taken by just looking at the ratio as a standalone nominal value. Plus, the ratio is noisy and spotting a clear trend can be hard.
For these reasons, I decided to code this indicator (which is best used on the Daily chart).
I added two EMA clouds, 7 and 12 and color code them with respect to their positions. If 7 > 12, cloud will be green. If 7 < 12, cloud will be red. This will give a better view of how the ratio is trending.
I then added a lookback period that can be changed from the indicator's setting (along with the fast and slow EMAs).
The lookback period will be used to get the following parameters:
- highest value
- lowest value
- 10th, 30th, 50th, 70th and 90th percentiles
- Percentile Rank
- Average, Median and Mode
Having all these values in a table will give a better idea of where the current ratio sits.
Composite Sentiment Indicator (SPY/QQQ/SOXX + VixFix)# Multi-Index Composite Sentiment Indicator
A comprehensive sentiment indicator that works across SPY, QQQ, SOXX, and custom symbols. Combines volatility, options flow, macro factors, technicals, and seasonality into a single z-score composite.
## What It Does
Takes multiple market sentiment inputs (VIX, put/call ratios, breadth, yields, etc.) and smooshes them into one normalized line. When the composite is high = markets getting spooked. When it's low = markets getting complacent.
## Key Features
- **Multi-Index Support**: Automatically adapts for SPY (uses VIX), QQQ (uses VXN), SOXX (uses VixFix), or custom symbols
- **VixFix Integration**: Larry Williams' VixFix for indices without dedicated VIX measures
- **Signal MA**: Choose from SMA/EMA/WMA/HMA/TEMA/DEMA with color coding (red above MA = risk-on, green below = risk-off)
- **September Focus**: Built-in seasonality weighting for September weakness patterns
- **Comprehensive Components**: Volatility, options sentiment, macro factors, technicals, and sector-specific metrics
## How to Use
**Basic Setup:**
1. Pick your index (SPY/QQQ/SOXX)
2. Choose signal MA type and length (EMA 21 is a good start)
3. Watch for extreme readings and MA crossovers
**Color Signals:**
- Red composite = above signal MA = bearish sentiment
- Green composite = below signal MA = bullish sentiment
- Extreme high readings (red background) = potential tops
- Extreme low readings (green background) = potential bottoms
**For Different Indices:**
- **QQQ**: Uses NASDAQ VIX (VXN) when available, falls back to VixFix
- **SOXX**: Includes semiconductor cycle indicators, uses VixFix for volatility
- **Custom**: Adapts automatically, relies on VixFix and general market metrics
## Components Included
**Volatility**: VIX/VXN/VixFix, term structure, historical vol
**Options**: Put/call ratios, SKEW index
**Macro**: DXY, 10Y yields, yield curve, TIPS spreads
**Technical**: RSI deviation, momentum
**Seasonality**: September effects, quad witching, month-end patterns
**Breadth**: S&P 500 and NASDAQ breadth measures
## Pro Tips
- Works well on Daily Timeframe
- September gets extra weight automatically - watch for August setup signals
- Keltner envelope breaks often mark sentiment exhaustion points
- Use alerts for extreme readings and MA crossovers
Works best when you understand that sentiment extremes often mark turning points, not continuation signals. High readings don't mean "keep shorting" - they mean "start looking for reversal setups."
## Settings Worth Tweaking
- Signal MA type/length for your timeframe
- Component weights based on what matters for your index
- Envelope multipliers for your risk tolerance
- VixFix parameters if default doesn't fit your symbol's volatility
The table shows all current component readings so you can see what's driving the signal. Good for context and debugging weird readings.
3 Candle Strike StretegyMainly developed for AMEX:SPY trading on 1 min chart. But feel free to try on other tickers.
Basic idea of this strategy is to look for 3 candle reversal pattern within trending market structure. The 3 candle reversal pattern consist of 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles,
followed by an engulfing candle in the opposite direction. This pattern usually signals a reversal of short term trend. This strategy also uses multiple moving averages to filter long or short
entries. ie. if the 21 smoothed moving average is above the 50, only look for long (bullish) entries, and vise versa. There is option change these moving average periods to suit your needs.
I also choose to use Linear Regression to determine whether the market is ranging or trending. It seems the 3 candle pattern is more successful under trending market. Hence I use it as a filter.
There is also an option to combine this strategy with moving average crossovers. The idea is to look for 3 candle pattern right after a fast moving average crosses over a slow moving average.
By default , 21 and 50 smoothed moving averages are used. This gives additional entry opportunities and also provides better results.
This strategy aims for 1:3 risk to reward ratio. Stop losses are calculated using the closest low or high values for long or short entries, respectively, with an offset using a percentage of
the daily ATR value. This allows some price fluctuation without being stopped out prematurely. Price target is calculated by multiplying the difference between the entry price and the stop loss
by a factor of 3. When price target is reach, this strategy will set stop loss at the price target and wait for exit condition to maximize potential profit.
This strategy will exit an order if an opposing 3 candle pattern is detected, this could happen before stop loss or price target is reached, and may also happen after price target is reached.
*Note that this strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. I haven't determined an easy way to calculate the # of contracts to represent the equivalent option values. Plus the option
prices varies greatly depending on which strike and expiry that may suits your trading style. Therefore, please be mindful of the net profit shown. By default, each entry is approximately equal
to buying 10 of same day or 1 day expiry call or puts at strike $1 - $2 OTM. This strategy will close all open trades at 3:45pm EST on Mon, Wed, and Fri.
**Note that this strategy also takes into account of extended market data.
***Note pyramiding is set to 2 by default, so it allows for multiple entries on the way towards price target.
Remember that market conditions are always changing. This strategy was only able to be back-tested using 1 month of data. This strategy may not work the next month. Please keep that in mind.
Also, I take no credit for any of the indicators used as part of this strategy.
Enjoy~
Dollar Weighted Cumulative SPY Sectors VolumeThis plots the combined volume of the subsectors of the SPY using (open+close)/2, both per bar (narrow candles) and cumulative (wide faded candles).
This aims to use dollar volume and weights each sector individually in dollar amounts. NOT with the weighting used in the SPY index. This indicator is NOT equally weighted., it is weighted according to each subsector's own dollar volume.
Green lines means there is more money flowing into the subsectors combined than out. This is a breadth indicator.
Green and red crosses indicate divergence.
Green crosses are shown when the SPY is outperforming this indicator.
Red crosses are shown when this indicator is outperforming the SPY.
Perhaps the best use of this indicator is to stop you from being aggressive when the whole market isn't moving with you.
Enjoy! Feel free to ask any questions.

| 5) I set a 10% stop, but usually exit at 8% before my stop triggers depending on current situation
| 6) I utilize about 10-20% of my Portfolio for one trade. Sometimes more. Rarely less.
| 7) I never hold overnight in these market conditions.
| 8) I shoot for 10-20% for gains. Depending on market conditions.
| 9) Always look for confirmations in your indicators.
| 10) I never force a trade. No trade is a good trade too if the entry just isn't there.
| 11) Patience always pays off. A great set-up can form in minutes or seconds. I never regret being patient to enter. I nearly always regret rushing into a trade.

This indicator combines the moving averages into a single unit to simplify one part of the indicator usage rules: the 8 EMA / 21 EMA Cross. . The 8 crossing over the 21 is a Bullish signal, while the 8 crossing under the 21 is a Bearish signal. This indicator places flags at these crossover/under points, as well as shading the area between the 8 and 21 EMAs to help visualize the strength of the trend; green during a Bullish cross, and red during a Bearish cross.
A new addition to this strategy is the Hull Moving Average, or HMA. This script defaults to an HMA of 20 and shows alerts when candles close above or below the plot in the form of green and red candle backgrounds. This alert is best used in conjunction with the main crossovers and should be considered an addition level of confidence rather than providing trade entry/exits directly. This indicator is more flexible and you should feel free to adjust the period if you find a different value works better within your own personal trading style.
Each individual element of this indicator can be modified or toggled, providing maximum customization. While you should strive to become comfortable with the default settings, these options are provided in case you feel the need to adjust for your own style (or if testing on tickers other than SPY, for example).
Goodluch, and happy trading!
