Magic Line 2.0 β
WELCOME TO MAGIC LINE 2.0 β
This indicator is intended to show current market sentiment – a reflection of that which market internals (VIX, ADD, TICK, VOLD and TRIN) are doing.
The indicator does not make any reference to, or have any knowledge of, SPX price action.
If Magic Line is green, that suggests that market sentiment is rising. If Magic Line is red, that suggests that market sentiment is falling.
If Magic Line is above zero, that usually suggests an overall positive market sentiment, and if it is only slightly red, then SPX price action could still be bullish. And vice versa.
USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO:
- Adjust the Main Parameters … find out what works for you!
- Adjust the Flat Zone … if you are using a longer timeframe, a higher value in the Flat Zone might be beneficial
Users are also encouraged to play with the Internals, in particular:
- Turn the individual Internals on / off … experiment; what happens if you turn off everything, other than say ADD?
- Adjust the relative weighting of each Internal
It's not really recommended to play with the EMA weightings (either of the internals, or the fast / slow lines) - but you're welcome to do so, if you wish!

ADDITIONAL NOTES
- Market internals are often not very beneficial for trading futures, or long options. If you’re not careful, you can get badly chopped up.
If you set Grind Correction to max. (100) you’ll get a positive trend even on a grind day. The downside is that on a more volatile day, the indicator will be a little slower in responding.
If Magic Line is flat, or just wandering around in the chop zone, SPX price action may well be flat, slowly grinding, or choppy.
This has been back-tested and forward-tested during 2022 (April – August) market conditions (Trading View doesn’t give short-timeframe data further back). If market conditions change significantly, I may find that I need to adjust / update some of the coding. TBA …
Disclaimer; it is of course recommended to have all market internals open individually, rather than relying on a ‘Market Internals Smoothie’ for making trading decisions! :)
