ATR+(Experimental)
I often use the ATR as a volatility filter, to get better entries or to just get a quick understand of the volatility when screening different stocks.
With this indicator you can use the ATR in a few different ways:
-- Dynamic ATR --
To get more comparability between stocks I use a dynamic/normalized ATR, so I've experimented with two different methods.
ATR% can be calculated using John Forman’s approach called Normalized ATR (ATR / Close * 100). Or it can be calculated using what I call "Non Forman",
where the normalization happens to the true range and not to the average true range (average of (TR / Close * 100)). I think this method is "cleaner",
though the difference between the two is minimal. For more on this see www.macroption.com
You can chose between normal ATR (not normalized), Forman's normazation method, and "Non-Forman" normalization.
-- Smoothed ATR --
I originally used an ATR on a higher timeframe to get an idea of the overall volatility. But with higher time frames you always end up lag (or repainting
issues when combining into an indicator). So I expertimented on smoothing the true range, by including several bars into the calculation. I most trade
on a daily time frame so to my default "smoothing" is calculating the true range based on the last 5 days. This pretty much equals how the weekly TR
would be calculated, but since it updates daily we get a different result.
You can chose between displaying the standard ATR, the smoothed ATR or both.
-- Thresholds --
To make it more clear and visually more appealing I added thresholds and I'm plotting warning zones for low volatily.
-- Moving Average Method --
I think the best results from ATR comes when using RMA. But since I wanted to experiment with different options, the moving averages can be done using
RMA, SMA, EMA, Hull MA, or WMA.

MJ ECT== One Line Introduction ==
ECT is a multi-level, trend focused technical indicator based on a three-step hierarchical approach - comprising the tide, wave, and ripple - to trend identification.
== Indicator Philosophy ==
The author believes that market trends can be understood in a three-step hierarchy, with tide at the top, wave in the middle, and ripple at the bottom, corresponding to long-, middle-, and short-term momentum in the stock price. This indicator therefore comprises three technical indicators which aims to reflect the abovementioned features of a trend. These three components are True Strength Index (TSI), Exponential Moving Averages ( EMA ), and Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ).
== Indicator Components and Breakdown ==
True Strength Index (TSI) -> Tide
A 20-period TSI is used to visualize the bullish or bearish sentiment surrounding the stock. Crossovers above the zero line are interpreted as bullish while crossovers below the zero line are interpreted as bearish . This is painted into the background where green represents bullish and red represents bearish . While the background is red ( bearish ), no bullish positions should be taken. Hence, the TSI painted background acts as a directional bias filter and going against the bias is not recommended. After understanding the directional bias, the user can delve further into the areas of value for the stock in the Wave.
Exponential Moving Averages ( EMA ) -> Wave
Four EMA are used (20, 50, 100, 200) to identify the dynamic support and resistance waves in a trending market. Stock price pullbacks into any of these EMA represent areas of value where the user can consider taking positions. The correct EMA to use depends on individual stock's behavior, with multiple bounces on a specified EMA being the priority. After understanding which wave best reflects the area of value of a stock, the user can move on to the Ripple to time their entries.
Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) -> Ripple
A 5-period CCI is used to identify short-term oversold conditions where prices are on discount. Discount is defined by the 5-period CCI crossing below -100 as it reflects a weekly oversold condition. The indicator will display a small triangle below the candle when this condition is met.
== Ready To Deploy Field Manual ==
When background is painted red, do nothing.
When background is painted green, begin thinking of bullish opportunities.
Look for the specific EMA that has the most bounces of stock price in recent months, this is the area of value to look for buying opportunity.
For the candles that intersect the EMA you identified above, watch for the appearance of a small triangle below the candle that tells you the entry timing.
When the entry timing signal triangle appears, remember the High of that candle and buy your position when the subsequent candle breaks above this High.
If the High is not broken above in the next immediate candle, remember the newer High of the newer candle (basically follow / trail the latest High until a break above is hit).
If the background turns from green to red, stop following the High and do not enter because the market sentiment has changed to bearish .
If you are holding an existing position and the background turns red, consider exiting the position. You may consider remembering the Low of the candle and exit your position if this Low is broken below on a subsequent candle.
== Best Wishes ==
The author wishes the best success for all users of this technical indicator.
RSI-VWAP Indicator %█ OVERALL
Simple and effective script that, as you already know, uses vwap as source of the rsi, and with good results as long as the market has no long-term downtrend.
RsiVwap = rsi (vwap (close), Length)
The default settings are for BTC in a 30 minute time frame. For other pairs and time frames you just have to play with the settings.
█ FEATURES
• The option to start trading from a certain date has been added.
• To make the profit more progressive, a percentage of your equity is used for entries and a percentage of your position is used for closings.
• The option to trade in Spot mode has been added, since, for the TradingView backtest, the money is infinite and if you do not limit it somehow,
it would offer you much better profits than the live trading.
QuantityOnLong = Spot ? (EquityPercent / 100) * ((strategy.equity / close) - strategy.position_size) : (EquityPercent / 100) * (strategy.equity / close)
• The option to stop the system when the drawdown exceeds the fixed limit has been added.
Drawdown, as you already know, is a very important measure of risk in trading systems.
The maximum drawdown will tell us what the maximum loss of a trading system has been during a period. This maximum loss is determined by:
strategy.risk.max_drawdown(Risk, strategy.percent_of_equity)
• Leverage plotted on labels added.
█ ALERTS
To enjoy the benefits of automatic trading, TradingView alerts can be used as direct buy-sell orders on spot, or long-close orders with leverage.
Currently there are Chrome extensions that act as a bridge between TradingView and your Exchange or Broker.
This is an example of syntax for this type of extensions. Copy and paste a message like this into the alert window:
{{strategy.order.action}} @ {{strategy.order.price}} | e = {{exchange}} a = account s = {{ticker}} b = {{strategy.order.action}} {{strategy.order.alert_message}}
█ NOTE
Certain Risks of Live Algorithmic Trading You Should Know:
• Backtesting cannot assure actual results.
• The relevant market might fail or behave unexpectedly.
• Your broker may experience failures in its infrastructure, fail to execute your orders in a correct or timely fashion or reject your orders.
• The system you use for generating trading orders, communicating those orders to your broker, and receiving queries and trading results from your broker may fail.
• Time lag at various point in live trading might cause unexpected behavior.
• The systems of third parties in addition to those of the provider from which we obtain various services, your broker, and the applicable securities market may fail or malfunction.
█ THANKS
Thanks to TradingView, its Pine code, its community and especially those Pine wizards who post their ideas that helps us to learn.
If the world is heading toward a equitable new world economic order, let's get rich first ...
Happy trading!
Comparison (Malaysia Index & Sector)This is just a simple tool for convenient to compare and showing a clear image of all sector and index in Malaysia. They are just in one indicator. From this indicator, you can predict momentum of each sector in Malaysia, which is currently in bull or bear trend.
STRUCTURE
In the setting, the first line with the option of the following index (Malaysia Index) :
1. FBMKLCI
2. FTSEMYX:FBMSCAP
3. FTSEMYX:FBMACE
4. FTSEMYX:FBM70
5. FTSEMYX:FBMT100
6. FTSEMYX:FBMFLG
7. FTSEMYX:FBMEMAS
8. FTSEMYX:FA40
9. FTSEMYX:FBMMSCS
10. FTSEMYX:FBMAPMYR
11. FTSEMYX:FBMMSCAP
The rest of lines is all of the following sector (Malaysia Sector):
1. Technology
2. Telecommunication
3. Health
4. Consumer Product
5. Industrial Product
6. Construction
7. Property
8. Plantation
9. Utilities
10. Transportation
11. Energy
12. REIT
13. Finance
The last line (Line 15) is provided for other stock/index which is not available in option to manually fill.
All sector and index price are smoothen by Moving Average (MA). The default moving average is Relative Moving Average (RMA) which is used in Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) Oscillator. But the range is different from RSI , it is from -100 to 100 instead of 0 to 100. In the end, result and interpretation are just the same as RSI . Green area indicates oversold area, while red area is overbought.
Other choice of Moving Averages are available to change.
The problem of putting all together is the script may take longer to process. It is just for convenient use.

(JS) Double StochasticThe idea for this indicator came from looking at the Stochastic RSI. The Stochastic RSI takes the RSI reading then applies the Stochastic formula to it - an indicator on top of an indicator. Using this logic, I decided to try using a Stochastic on the existing Stochastic in order to smooth it out - hence the "Double Stochastic". I have also added the option to add RSI on to the indicator as well (with smoothing if you'd like).
Resolution:
I added this so you can look at the reading on any time frame.
K & D:
This is the standard K% and D% used with the Stochastic indicator - the numbers modify the length of their calculations.
Smooth:
This is the smoothing calculation, also from the normal Stochastic indicator.
Use Second Stochastic:
This adds a second Stochastic on to the chart for analysis.
K & D 2:
This is the parameters used to calculate the second K% and D% lines.
Smooth 2:
This is the smoothing interval for the second K% and D% lines.
Use K% and D%:
The default for this is to have it on. What it means is that you wish to see both the K% and D% lines (watching for a cross). If you turn this off, the plot switches to a K% & D% difference line. It is just one line that plots the distance between the two.
SMA Length Using Difference:
If this is on, then you can smooth the difference plot with an SMA, obviously if you just want the raw difference to plot, then set this to 1.
Use RSI:
Since both RSI and Stochastic use a 0-100 scale, I added the ability to plot the RSI along with the Stochastic. This will not plot if you are using the Difference plot, being that plot isn't on a 0-100 scale.
Smooth RSI:
I also added the ability to smooth the RSI if you'd like, you can turn this off for the standard RSI reading.
RSI Length:
This is the period of bars used to calculate the RSI.
RSI Smoothing Length:
This is the smoothing interval if you'd like to apply a moving average on the regular RSI reading.
RSI Smoothing Use EMA:
This makes the RSI smoothing use an EMA, when off an SMA is used instead.
RSI Source:
And finally, this is the source used to calculate the RSI value.
I hope that you all may find this useful, I have been using it myself with a lot of success. Any questions, please leave them in the comments, thanks!
Pyramiding Entries On Early Trends (by Coinrule)Pyramiding the entries in a trading strategy may be risky but at the same time very profitable with a proper risk management approach. This strategy seeks to spot early signs of uptrends and increase the position's size while the right conditions persist.
Each trade comes with its stop-loss and take-profit to enforce a proportional risk/reward profile.
The strategy uses a mix of Moving Average based setups to define the buy-signal.
The Moving Average (200) is above the Moving Average (100), which prevents from buying when the uptrend is already in its late stages
The Moving Average (9) is above the Moving Average (100), indicating that the coin is not in a downtrend.
The price crossing above the Moving Average (9) confirms the potential upside used to fire the buy order.
Each entry comes with a stop-loss and a take-profit in a ratio of 1-to-1. After over 400 backtests, we opted for a 3% TP and 3% SL, which provides the best results.
The strategy is optimized on a 1-hour time frame.
The Advantages of this strategy are:
It offers the possibility of adjusting the size of the position proportionally to the confidence in the possibilities that an uptrend will eventually form.
Low drawdowns. On average, the percentage of trades in profit is above 60%, and the stop-loss equal to the take-profit reduces the overall risk.
This strategy returned good returns both with trading pairs with Fiat/stable coins and with BTC. Considering the mixed trends that cryptocurrencies experienced during 2020 vs BTC, this strengthens the strategy's reliability.
The strategy assumes each order to trade 20% of the available capital and pyramids the entries up to 7 times.
A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Bitcoin Binance Sentiment IndexThe divergence of the price between the futures and spot markets for perpetual contracts could be a gauge of sentiment on a traded cryptoasset.
Sentiment analysis could be used to improve the the predictive value of technical and fundamental analysis.
The price of the perpetual contract is divided by the spot price for Bitcoin on Binance and two simple moving averages of this ratio are plotted together. For graphical purposes, the ratio between the two prices has been multiplied by 100. The moving averages were chosen arbitrarily and can be changed. Values above 100 mean that the average price of the futures over the last x periods was above the spot price over the same period. Conversely, values below 100 mean that the mean price of the futures over the last x periods was below the spot price over the same period. The indicator has been created for a daily timeframe.
This indicator is clearly intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

BIO
RSI HistogramThis an experiment to visualise the famous RSI indicator within a Histogram.
Opposed to regular RSI this RSI is plotted into a Histogram and uses different scales (100 to -100), in addition it has the ability to smooth the RSI with various moving averages like HMA, JMA and KAMA.
About RSI:
The RSI measures recent performance of a given stock against its own price history performance, by combining the average gain or loss a particular security owns over a predetermined time period.
Bars can be colored in Settings (Disabled by default)

One Percent Move Study (For your Alerts)This is a simple script that can be used to alerts. The signal1 variable goes to 100 if there is a 1% up move in a tick, and goes to -100 if there is a 1% down move in a tick for an asset. This is best on a 1 minute or 5 minute chart.
This example shows this on the DeFi exchange Uniswap for the UNI/ETH pair
Finnie's HL BREAKOUTFirst the indicators takes a range, by default it is 22 candles, then finds the highest and lowest points of said range. At this point your left with lines that follow your support and resistance in the given range (take a look by change the 100 ema in settings to 1). To take things a step further I took a 100 candle ema of the highest highest and lowest lows to not only smooth things out, but also to provide visual ques for breakouts, when closing price is above the top band the asset is considered to be breaking out.
EMA_cumulativeVolume_crossover[Strategy]This strategy is back test for EMA_cumulativeVolume_crossover
BUY
When ema50 crossover cumulative volume of 100 period
Exit
When ema50 cross down cumulative volume of 100 period
Partial Exit
for the partial profit I have used stopLoss value , but up side. When price is above partial profit and crossing down EMA 50 , exit 1/3 position
Please note when you select this setting, you see spike number of trades, that is because you closing partial number of trades. which increases the winning rate but reduces the total net profit.
Stop Loss
Defaulted to 8%
Added parameter to take LONG or SHORT trades ... on SHORT side not very good results ... you can review it and provide feedback how to improve the performance.
Short Selling
Reverse above BUY conditions
I have tested LONG trades on SPY , QQQ and AAPL on 1 Hour and 30 mins timeframes. for AAPL on DAY timeframe it shows crazy results :-)
Note
For the use of educational purposes only.
Short In Downtrend Below MA100 (Coinrule)This is a simple strategy to take advantage of downtrends. It's useful to run such a strategy as a hedge in times of market uncertainty.
The Sell Condition - Entry
The sell signal triggers when:
the coin has MA (100) greater than the price in a timeframe of 15 minutes, meaning that the coin is in a short-term downtrend.
the coin has an RSI greater than 30 in a timeframe of 15 minutes, indicating that it didn't reach oversold conditions yet, so there is still room for a further price drop.
On Coinrule, you can launch the strategy on real market conditions, setting up multiple sequential sell orders. The strategy would keep selling while the price stays below the MA(100). In that case, it's advisable to set low amounts for the sell orders. the position will grow gradually while the downtrend intensifies. Set a minimum time interval between the sell orders will also help to have control over the overall position size.
The Buy Condition - Exit
The bot connects to each trade a stop loss and a take profit. The percentages are optimized for short term trades on mid-cap coins. You can adjust the percentages depending on the specific coin you are trading. A ratio of 1:1.5 between the stop loss and the take profit could work as the strategy trades in the same direction of the trend.
Stop loss at 3% from the entry price
Take profit at 2% from the entry price
A slightly larger stop loss allows tolerating more volatility to reduce the case of stops triggering when it shouldn't.
Past and Presentas my old teacher used to say :
"We come from the past to search for the future.. but we stuck in the present looking on what lie ahead"
So this indicator based on non security MTF (HTF) set to daily
there are two type of bands
first is the present ones (color gray and red)
next is past one (based on 100 candle)
as we can that the price of the past bands and present band try to get equilibrium
once the bands depart from each other -present cross up the past then it will be bullish signal and vice versa when price depart from present band it will tend to fall to the level of our past band
since it based on EMA 100 and organised to detect resistance and support
then it easy to see when price collapse or price rise
so this is theory behind this indicator
you can try different length or different TF for better results
same 4 hour chart with week MTF
GAURs Polynomial Regression ChannelsThanks to The Sweet Lord , here is the Gaur's Polynomial Regression Channel.
Its a Polynomial Regression Channel but applied a little differently. Wont go into technical details much. Overview of options is as follows-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Channel Options
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. Degree of Polynomial: 1/2/3
Default = 3
Defines the degree of polynomials - 1,2,3. Note here, degree 1 will not be a straight line since its applied differently.
Try different degrees for different fits and market conditions.
2. Channel Length:
Default 30 (candles)
You can go beyond 100 or 200 candle lengths but smaller is the usual preference of Poly-Reg-channel traders. It all depends on market conditions and your style of trading. Do your research. I am usually comfortable with a range of 20-50 (in crypto markets).
3. Basis of Channel height/boundries: ATR/Manual
Default: ATR
ATR provides a dynamically adjusted entry/exit bounds of the channels. As ATR changes, the channel bounds also changes its height. It can also be fixed manually. Manual heights wont change automatically.
4. Basis of Y-Value: open/close/ sma / ema / wma /hilow
Default: close
Y- value is the y value of the (x,y) coordinates used while calculating the regression coefficients. Dont worry about it, its nothing serious.
5. Apply channel smoothning using sma?: Yes/No
Default: Yes
Without smoothning, the channel does not "look" good.
6. Shaded Area Height Percentage:
Its the extra margin for the channel. Its in percentage of the total height (defined 3 above) of channels. The shaded area provides an extra allowance for your entries or exits beyond the ATR or manual heights.
7. Plot RSI?: Yes/No
Default: Yes
Plots RSI (orange line in between the channel - its different from the dotted center line) considering the downbound of channels as 0 (oversold) and upbound of channels as 100 (overbought)
8. Plot 200 sma?: Yes/No
Default: Yes
It plots a 200 period fast (green) and 225 period slow (red) sma . I usually use two MAs. Its visually very easy to understand.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sample Strategy
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You can develop your own strategy with the channels. But following is just one of the ways you can trade.
Best Application: Ranging markets. But can be happily used in volatile conditions, with a little experience.
1. SMA: -- (this condition is optional really)
If green (200) is above red (225) go only long. If red is above green go only short. Defines long term trend of the market.
2. Channel slope: -- (this stuff needs practice/experience)
Depending on the channel slope, like if its tending to go up or down, you can choose to take only short or long trades. It defines short term momentum of the market.
3. ATR based heights:
Since its ATR based, the channel height are our natural entry and exit points.
Long:
When price touches lower shaded area, consider possible long entry. Exit on price entering the upper shaded area.
Short:
Enter on upper bound shaded area, exit on lower.
4. RSI:
For additional conformations. Again note, the RSI considers the lower bound of channel as 0 and upper as 100. But since, the channel moves up and down, the RSI will also move not only as RSI but also with the channel. Meaning, say if the RSI is valued at 50, then it will be near the center of the channel but since the center changes as time and price changes, the RSI valued at 50 at different times will not be at the same horizontal level respect to the graph, although it will be at the same level (center) respect to the channel.
5. PRC Channel Percentage label:
This label is at the lower side a bit ahead of the current candle. Provides you info on what is the channel percentage. This is especially helpful in crypto markets to gauge your possible percentage profit where profits can be much higher than forex or other instruments. It can also helps you select a suitable market/instrument if the channels are based on ATR.
6. Extra indicators:
I usually use stochastic along with this setup for extra conformations.

Market Breadth Indicator (percentage of US stocks above * SMA)This script is a revised version of jchang274's Multi-Sub script.
Add more feature from the original jchang274 script.
1.Compare 4 US STOCK INDEX ( Dowjones 30/NASDAQ100/RUSSELL2000/S&P500 ) in the same index of percentage of stocks above 20 /50/100/200 days simple moving average.
2. Use 4 index of percentage of stocks above 20 /50/100/200 days simple moving average,compare the same stock index ( Dowjones 30/NASDAQ100/RUSSELL2000/S&P500 )
How it begin?
Traders and investors use market breadth in order to assess the index’s overall health. Market breadth can be a reliable, if not an accurate, indicator of an upcoming price rise in the index. Similarly, it can also provide early warning signs for a future price decline.
What is it?
Market breadth indicators analyze the number of stocks advancing relative to those that are declining in a given index or on a stock exchange.
Market breadth refers to how many stocks are participating in a given move in an index or on a stock exchange. An index may be rising yet more than half the stocks in the index are falling because a small number of stocks have such large gains that they drag the whole index higher.
How it works?
Market breadth studies attempt to uncover strength or weakness in the movements of an index that are not visible simply by looking at a chart of the index.
