Implied and Historical Volatility v4There is a famous option strategy📊 played on volatility📈. Where people go short on volatility, generally, this strategy is used before any significant event or earnings release. The basic phenomenon is that the Implied Volatility shoots up before the event and drops after the event, while the volatility of the security does not increase in most of the scenarios. 💹
I have tried to create an Indicator using which you
can analyse the historical change in Implied Volatility Vs Historic Volatility.
To get a basic idea of how the security moved during different events.
Notes:
a) Implied Volatility is calculated using the bisection method and Black 76 model option pricing model.
b) For the risk-free rate I have fetched the price of the “10-Year Indian Government Bond” price and calculated its yield to be used as our Risk-Free rate.

CBDE OscillatorWhat makes The Universe grow at an accelerating pace?
Dark Energy.
What makes The Economy grow at an accelerating pace?
Debt.
Debt is the Dark Energy of The Economy.
The Central Bank Dark Energy Oscillator (CBDEO) is a companion to the popular CBDET (Central Bank Dark Energy Tracer) script.
CBDEO is an oscillator that shows up in a separate TradingView pane in order to provide a relative change signal. It uses the same equations to aggregate central bank liquidity that are used in CBDET, and adds unique analysis tools that provide rate of change data.
There are 2 signals in the chart. First is the change/delta on a per bar basis, based on the chart time frame. The default style for this plot is "columns". This style parameter can be changed in the settings, along with each plot's visibility.
The second plot is a divergence signal that tests the change vs a simple moving average of the CBDET signal (central bank liquidity). The SMA length is customizable in the Input tab within the settings for the indicator. The SMA is based on the chart's current time frame.
The changes in liquidity on various time frames, and calculated as divergence against the liquidity signal SMA can be useful in determining the rate of change in liquidity, and therefore potential thrust in market price action.
Negroni MA & RSI Strategy, plus trade entry and SL/TP optionsI will start with the context, and some things to think about when using a strategy tool to back-test ideas.
CONTEXT
FIRST: This is derived from other people's work, but I honestly hadn't found a mixed indicator MA strategy tool that does what this now does. If it is out there, apologies!!
This tool can help back-test various MA trends (SMA, EMA, HMA, VWMA); as well as factoring in RSI levels (or not); and can factor in a fixed HTF MA (or not). You can apply a 'retest entry' or a 'breakout entry', and you can also apply various risk mgt for SL/TP orders: 1) No SL/TP; or 2) a fixed %, or 3) dynamic ATR multipliers.
Find below, some details explaining what this tool is attempting to do.
Thank you, tack, salute!
THINGS TO REVIEW (it is not just about 'profitability'!!)
Whilst discretion is always highly encouraged as a trader, and a 100% indicator-driven strategy is VERY unlikely to yield sustainable results going forward, at the very least back-testing your strategies can help provide some guidance, not just on win rate Vs profit factor, but other things including:
a) Trade frequency: if a strategy has an 75% win rate and profit factor of 4, with all your parameters and confluence checks, but only triggers 3 trades every 5 years, is that realistically implementable to your trading situation if you have a $10,000 account?
b) Trade entry type: is it consistently better to wait for a retest of an 'MA zone', or is it better to market buy/sell on breakout of the 'MA zone'?
c) Risk management (SL/TP): is it consistently better to have a fixed static % for SL/TP ("I always place my stops 2% away, whether it is EURUSD or BTCUSDT"), or would you be better placed to try using an ATR multiplier of the respective assets?
d) Moving average type: is your old faithful 100 EMA really serving you well, or is the classic SMA more reliable, or how about the HMA, or the VWMA? Is the 100/200 cross holding up, or do you need something more sensitive? Is there any significant difference between a 10 EMA/20 EMA trend zone compared to a 13 EMA /25 EMA zone?
e) Confluence: Do added confluence checks (RSI, higher timeframe MA) actually improve profitability? But even if they do, is at the cost of cutting too many trades?
INPUTS AND PARAMETERS
Choice 1) Entry Strategy: Retest or Breakout - You can select both!
[ ]:
a) RETEST entry strat: price crosses UNDER FastMA INTO the 'MA trend zone'.
b) BREAKOUT entry strat: price crosses OVER FastMA OUT the 'MA trend zone'.
Choice 2) Risk Management (SL and TP) - You can select more than 1 strategy!
a) No SL/TP: Long trades are closed when the LOW crosses back UNDER the fastMA again, and shorts are closed when the HIGH crosses back OVER the fastMA again.
b) Static % SL/TP: Your SL/TP will be a fixed % away from avg. position price... WARNING: You should change this for various asset classes; FX vol is not the same as crypto altcoin vol!
c) Dynamic ATR SL/TP: Your SL/TP is a multiple of your selected ATR range (default is 50, see 'info' when you select ATR range). ATR accounts for the change in vol of different asset classes somewhat, HOWEVER... you should probably still not have the same multiplier trading S&P500 as you would trading crypto altcoins!
Then select your preferred parameters: EMA, SMA, HMA, VWMA, etc. You can mix and match, and most options have a info/tooltip guide.
RSI note: If you don't care for RSI levels, then set buy signal at 1... i.e always buys! Similarly set sell signal at 99.
ATR note: standard ATR length is usually 14, however... your SL/TP will move POST entry, and can tighten or widen your initial SL/TP... for better AND usually for worse! Go find a trade (strat 3) on the chart, look at the SL/TP lines, now change the number to 5, you'll see.
Fixed HTF MA note: If you don't care for HTF MA confluence, just change the timeframe/options to match the 'Slow MA' options you've chosen.
Easy RSI by nnamWhat Does this Indicator Do?
The Easy RSI Indicator color codes candles based on their RSI Value vs. Open / Close (Red / Green). It plots the current price and current RSI value on the chart in real-time. Additionally, when the RSI Value is in an oversold or overbought condition, it plots that signal on the chart in real-time.
The initial candle color is the standard Red / Green Tradingview color, but a Gradient is added to the color which either darkens or lightens the color based on the RSI Value.
As seen in the screenshot below, the higher the RSI Value, the brighter the Green Color is. The lower the RSI Value, the brighter the Red Color is.
The current Price and current RSI Value are both plotted on the chart by default, but can be optionally switched off by the trader.
As seen in the screenshot below, the prices and RSI Values are easily seen while visually tracking the price in real-time.
RSI Overbought Values are plotted when the Overbought condition is triggered. The Default is RED for Overbought and GREEN for Oversold.
As seen in the screenshot below, with all three labels turned on under the input settings (these are ON by default) you can see the overbought condition, the current RSI Value, and current price all in one centralized area. Oversold Values are also plotted when turned on under the input settings.
As shown in the screenshot below, the candle is GREEN (as evident by the green candle outline) but the RSI Value is low and shows lower than average relative strength. This turns the bar color ORANGE vs, GREEN showing that the relative strength of the move is subpar.
As shown on the screenshot below, if the trader has the standard Tradingview Price label switched on (in the Tradingview Chart Settings), the color of the bar is also translated to the price are for an easy to recognize RSI Value just by looking at the price. Even if the current candle is RED, when the RSI is higher than lower, the color will be green / greenish and even if the current candle is GREEN, when the RSI Value is lower than higher, the color will be red-ish / orange in color giving the user a quick view of RSI Value.
If you have any questions or feature requests for this Indicator please do not hesitate to reach out and ask.
GOOD LUCK trading!!

Investing Performance with vs without feesHello traders,
I had a chat with a friend recently who's using a fund manager services to invest for him in some US-based ETFs tracking the US indices.
I showed him using an online tool that those 2% annual fees he's paying to his fund manager are eating a lot of his profit overtime.
As I had some time, I decided to code this simulator in Pinescript because .... why not :)
@RicardoSantos already did that Compound Interest function ()
I added the n parameter being the number of times the interest is compounded per unit of time
Compound interest is calculated using the following formula
CI = P*(1 + R/n) (n*t) – P
Here,
P is the principal amount.
R is the annual interest rate.
t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.
n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t, for example if interest is compounded monthly and t is in years then the value of n would be 12.
If interest is compounded quarterly and t is in years then the value of n would be 4.
For now, the script only works on a yearly chart - I might update it later making it compatible with other chart timeframes - assuming there is some demand for it
If there is, let me know in the comments down below
All the best
Dave
Another New Adaptive Moving Average [CC]The New Adaptive Moving Average was created by Scott Cong (Stocks and Commodities Mar 2023) and this is a companion indicator to my previous script . This indicator still works off of the same concept as before with effort vs results but this indicator takes a slightly different approach and instead defines results as the absolute difference between the closing price and a closing price x bars ago. As you can see in my chart example, this indicator works great to stay with the current trend and provides either a stop loss or take profit target depending on which direction you are going in. As always, I use darker colors to show stronger signals and lighter colors to show normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicator scripts you would like to see me publish!
RS: FootprintThis is live only Footprint indicator.
Warning: TV does not provide tick by tick data and updates come in snapshots . Based on this, this indicator can never show precisely what is happening on the bid/ask. What it shows is only an approximation that works well enough if the tape is not too fast.
Use it at your own risk, with the warning above in mind!
Footprint can be used in two modes:
Delta - with bid/ask delta numbers on the left, at the same price level and the total volume numbers on the right
Bid vs Ask - with the bid on the left and the ask on the right; the coloring is based on the diagonal difference
Zoom in to fit the candles; optionally hide default candles.
TICK - Custom Tickers [Pt]Traditionally, the TICK index is a technical analysis indicator that shows the difference in the number of stocks that are trading on an uptick vs a downtick in a particular period of time. This indicator allows user to choose up to 40 tickers to calculate TICK.
By default, it uses the SPY Top 40 stocks, but can be changed to any tickers.
There are options to show:
- Top 7 , ie. can be used for just showing TICK for FAANGMT => $FB + $AMZN + $AAPL + $NFLX + $GOOG + $MSFT + $TSLA
- Top 10
- Top 20
- Top 30
- Top 40
Data can be displayed in candle bars, line, or both.
Enjoy~
Fib RetracementI've re-created the fib retracement tool as an indicator and this is as close as I can currently get to matching the built-in fib retracement tool.
Why did I make this? For custom labels for every fib retracement level.
Caveats to this vs the built-in tool are:
the "Save as Default" doesn't appear to work (I believe this is due to the interactive/confirm based settings)
copy and paste to another chart is locked into the price of source location
when dragging the points of retracement the tool/indicator disappears
Hopefully some can find usefulness in this code or it's functionality.
Custom HTF candle overlay, ICT True Day-input your own session time for custom 'daily' or HTF candles to overlay on your lower time frame charts.

-customize the HTF candles to any start/end time.
-set lookback period/cutoff in days (i.e. backtesting vs only viewing recent price action).
-option to toggle on/off custom opening price line.
-works across all lower time frames.
~useful for visualizing the chunks of the day where the action tends to happen.

GRIDBOT Scalper by nnamWhat is this Indicator used for?
Made specifically for GRID Bots
note: before continuing... this indicator works on any timeframe, but it WORKS BEST ON THE 15 MINUTE TIMEFRAME
Straters and Forex Master Pattern Value Line Traders use this to help determine when the price could reverse.
This indicator is a scalping indicator that produces signals when a "potential" reversal in price is indicated. When the price moves UP and a Potential Bearish Reversal Signal occurs, traders can use this signal as a potential SHORT entry signal for their Short Grid Bot. The process is the same in reverse. After a sustained move down, a Potential Bullish Signal can be used by the trader as a potential LONG entry signal for their GridBot.
As shown in the screenshot below, lines develop on the chart (either RED or GREEN) indicating that a sustained move in one direction is currently occurring; however, there is no potential reversal signal plotted (this means that price action is currently moving in one direction only).
As shown in the screenshot below, lines can be used as a stop-loss after entering the GRIDbot. (usually, by this time, the Grid Bot is in Profit as it usually moves in the opposite direction first)
What this Indicator Does
The GRIDBOT Scalper provides information regarding potential reversals in the market after a sustained movement in one direction (either Bullish or Bearish).
The indicator is based on PRICE-ACTION ONLY and does not take into account the current state of the market (Bullish or Bearish).
Once the price moves in a particular direction for at least 14 bars , a line appears as shown in a previous screenshot. Once the price stops moving in that direction and begins moving in the opposite direction - and after a sustained run - a "signal" appears alerting the trader that a "potential" reversal could be on the horizon soon.
If price moves in one direction and plots both a line and a signal and then begins moving back in the other direction in a sustained manner, the original signal will remain even when a NEW line begins forming (the original line will disappear). (see below) This line will continue to move as the price continues to move. Not until a signal plots on the chart is the potential reversal forming. THE LINE DOES NOT SIGNAL A REVERSAL . Some traders, however, use this information to "ride the wave UP or DOWN" and exit their positions once the signal prints.
As shown below, optional input settings allow the trader to set the line at CLOSE or HIGH/LOW of the candle preceding the potential reversal.
It is suggested to use Close instead of High or Low but the setting allows one to use either.
As shown in the screenshot below, it is typical on LOWER TIME FRAMES to see the price pass the signal line. The Indicator works best on the 15 minute timeframe, as it gives the trader time to make the decisions required as the volatility is less on the 15 minute chart vs the 1 minute or 5 minute charts.

Simple STRAT Tool by nnamWhat this Indicator Does
This indicator is a very simple tool created specifically for experienced Straters. It was created for those Straters who fully understand the 1-2-3 Strat Scenarios, are in need of an easy to use tool, and do not want or need a lot of messy markings on their chart.
The indicator simply allows the user to color code the Strat 1, 2 ,3 (Inside /Outside /Up / Down) Bars as desired and by default extends lines to the right of the chart from the Highs and Lows of the previous 2 Bars giving the user a simple reference for Strat scenario structure breaks.
As shown above, the bars are color coded, but the original bar color is maintained via the border and wick.
If a bar is an Outside Bar or an Inside Bar, it is still easy to identify whether or not the bar was a Bullish or Bearish 1 or 3.
The same goes for 2UP and 2Down Bars - It is easy to identify Bullish or Bearish UP or DOWN Bars.
Optionally, as show in the screenshot below, the user can extend the lines in both directions to get an "at a glance" better understanding of where price is currently vs previous support and resistance areas.
For Straters that prefer to trade only INSIDE BAR BREAKOUTS there is an optional input setting labeled "Trade Inside Bars ONLY".
This setting turns OFF the lines that extend from the 2nd previous bar back and only displays and extend lines from the previous bar IF and ONLY IF the current bar is an INSIDE (one) bar. .
The User Input settings allow for the following customizations:
1. Custom Outside Bar Color
2. Custom Inside Bar Color
3. Custom 2 Up Bar Color
4. Custom 2 Down Bar Color
5. Turn ON or OFF color coded bars
6. Trade only INSIDE Bar Breakouts
7. Extend Lines Both Directions
8. Hide all Lines
The customizable settings above allow the user to hide all lines and turn OFF color coding without having to fully remove the indicator from the chart. This is convenient when the user has another indicator that uses color coded bars or the lines conflict with another indicator and they need to be temporarily disabled.
If you have any questions regarding this indicator please let me know. If you have any suggestions for minor tweaks to the indicator do not hesitate to ask for them.
I hope you enjoy this indicator and get some usefulness from it... HAPPY TRADING!!
Short vs Long ATRSimple pinescript that compares a long ATR against short ATR and let you define a threshold in %
Quickfingers Luc base scanner - version 2This is my second implementation of a Pine Script Quickfingers Luc (QFL) base scanner that I have published on Trading View. QFL base scanners seek to provide buy signals according to the QFL trading strategy. To profitably trade using this script you should be familiar with the QFL trading strategy, scaling in and out of positions, and money risk management.
Background
All the QFL base identification Pine Scripts that I have inspected to date use a simple candlestick pattern of two lower lows followed by two higher lows to identify a base. Some scripts may combine this with a volume indicator as well. In practice, I found the results of this approach to be somewhat unreliable. The candlestick pattern may identify some significant bases, may identify minor bases (that should not be traded), but at the same time miss other significant bases entirely!
My first QFL base scanner sought to use Pine Script’s built in ta.lowest and ta.highest functions to identify bases and peaks. This approach depended on the time period selected to find the lowest lows and highest highs. This approach can be problematic because significant bases may be formed outside the nominated time period, leading to the identification of minor bases within the time period. I have left the first version of my QFL base scanning script in the Trading View indicators because it uses a different approach to this script that other people may still find useful.
My second version of the QFL base scanner does not use the Pine Script ta.lowest and ta.highest functions, and therefore does not rely on nominating a time period to look back through data.
User inputs
This script steps through the price data to find the following patterns that are used to confirm bases and peaks.
Base – bounce of x% above previous base confirms that base
Peak – fall of y% below previous peak confirms that peak
Buy signal – fall of z% below the base signals a buy signal.
x%, y% and z% are user configurable through the script settings. Small percentages will provide more, but riskier, buy signals; larger percentages will provide fewer, but safer, buy signals.
The script identifies QFL bases and buy signals and marks them on the price chart. These are able to be turned on and off in the script settings. The settings also allow the user to turn on plots for peaks, lowest lows and highest highs. These are not useful for applying the QFL trading strategy, but are calculations used in finding bases and can be useful for the user to understand what the script is doing in the background.
Troubleshooting
If looking at the past script results, you may think that the script is perfectly timing entry points at the bottom of market dips. This is NOT the case. The script is actually showing buy signals when the price falls z% below the PREVIOUS base. The current base is only retrospectively marked some periods later once the reversal is confirmed – a solid line marks a confirmed base in real time; a dotted line retrospectively repaints the line to the actual base. New bases are not tradeable using this script, but a percentage fall from the previous base is – this is the QFL trading strategy.
Pine Script may flag that this script has a repainting issue. Pine Script defines repainting as, “script behavior causing historical vs realtime calculations or plots to behave differently.” In the case of this script, bases are confirmed once the price has bounced x% off the low. The script then repaints a dotted line from the base that has been identified in real time (with a solid line) back to the point in the price data where the base actually occurs. The dotted line only aids in visual identification of the base, and does not impact on the real time identification of bases. A similar repainting issue occurs for identifying peaks. I have identified the lines in the script that cause this repainting. These lines can be commented out without affecting the buy signals generated by the script, but you will also lose the visual pinpointing of historical bases and peaks.
The user may find price charts where they think that the script has not correctly identified a base or peak. Usually, careful measurement will reveal that the price chart has not confirmed a base or peak by moving x% or y% from the previous base or peak respectively.
And before you ask, yes, Trading View alerts work with this script.
Enjoy.
RedK K-MACD : a MACD with some more musclesMoving Averages are probably the most commonly used analysis tools, and MACD is possibly the first charting indicator a trader gets to learn about.
MACD Basic concept
----------------------------
Without repeating all the tons of documentation about what MACD does, let's quickly re-visit the MACD concept from a 10-mile altitude (note we're keen on simplifying here rather than being technically accurate - so please forgive the use of any "common lingos")
- MACD goal is to represent the distance between 2 Moving Averages (MAs) - one fast and one slow, relatively - as an unrestricted zero-based oscillator.
- The value of the main MACD line is the distance, or the displacement between the 2 MA's
- usually a signal line is used (which is another MA of that distance value) to enable better visualization of the change (and rate of change, since this is all depicted on a time axis) of that displacement - this represents price momentum (price movement in the recent period versus movements for a relatively longer period).
- the difference between the main MACD line and its signal is then represented as a histogram above and below the zero line. in this case, that histogram is really redundant, since it shows a value that is already represented visually by the main line and its signal line.
How K-MACD is different
---------------------------------
K-MACD takes that simple concept of the classic MACD and expands around it - the idea is to use the same simple approach to representing price momentum while bringing in more insight to price moves in the short, medium and long terms, ability to represent more than 2 MA's and to enable better identification of tradeable patterns (like Volatility Contraction and others) - while still keeping things simple and visually clean.
K-MACD is an indicator that allows us to view how price moves against 3 moving averages: a fast / slow pair, and a "market" Filter or Baseline (very long) that will be used as a flag for Bear/Bull market mode. Many traders and trading literature use the 200 day (40 week) SMA as that key filter
so in total, there are 4 MA lines in K-MACD (excluding the "orange" signal line):
* Price Proxy: Which is a very fast moving average that will represent the price itself - let's use a WMA(3) or something close to that here - there will be a signal line to enable better visualization of this similar to a classic MACD - that's the orange line
* Fast & Slow MA's : Use whatever represents the "medium term" momentum for your trading - Some traders use 20 and 50, others use 10 and 20 .. if on your price chart, you keep using a pair of MA's for this, use the same settings in K-MACD - these will be represented by the 3-color Momentum Bars that fluctuate above and below the baseline
* Filter/Baseline MA: Should be your long (Bullish/Bearish Mode) MA. so 100 or 200 or any other value you consider your market to be bearish below and bullish above. on K-MACD this is actually the blue zero line - everything else is "relative" to it
Review the sample chart which explains various elements and the "price chart" setup that K-MACD represents. With K-MACD you can clean up your chart from those various Moving Averages - or use a different set than the ones you already have K-MACD represent - or other indicators (like ATR channels..etc)
Other "muscles" in the K-MACD
---------------------------------------------
- Relative vs Classic Calculation Mode
A key issue with the classic MACD is that the displacement between the 2 moving averages is represented as "absolute or direct" values - as the price of the underlying increases with time, you can't really use these values to make useful comparison between the past and now (see below example) - also you can't use them to compare 2 different instruments.
- The "Relative" calculation option in K-MACD addresses that issue by relating all "distances" to the Baseline MA as percentage (above or below) - you can see this clear when you look at the above chart the far left versus the far right and compare K-MACD with the classic MACD - the Classic option is still available
- More MA "type" options for all MA lines: choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, and RSS_WMA (which i use a lot in my trading and is my default for the Price Proxy)
- More Alerts: a total or 9 alerts (in 3 groups) are available with K-MACD (Momentum above or below baseline, Price Proxy crossing signal line, and Price Proxy crossing baseline)
- New 52 week High / Low markers: These will show as Green/red circles on the zero line in K-MACD. this will only work for 1D timeframe and above, i'm just using a simple approach and would like to keep it that way.
- i know i added some more features not covered above :) -- if you have questions about any of the settings, feel free to ask below
Closing thoughts
-------------------------
K-MACD is a combination of couple of indicators i published in the past (xMACD and Mo_Bars) - so you can go back and read about them if needed - I then added improvements to accommodate ideas from swing trading literature and common practices that i plan to focus on in future. So K-MACD is really part of my own trading setup.
I assume here that most traders are familiar with what a MACD is - so kept this post short - if you thing we should expand more about the concepts covered here let me know in the comments - i can make some separate posts with examples and more details.
I hope many fellow traders find this work useful - and feel free let me know in comments below if you do.
Renko Emulator - Rev NR - Released - 12-29-22Renko Emulator - Rev NR - Released 12-29-22
By Hockeydude84
Simple script to Emulate Renko Charting behavior on standard candle stick charts. Code provide capability to select between standard(ish) Renko bricks (in this code it's defined by percent vs ticks/value), or an ATR brick option. For ATR bricks, the code provides an option to inhibit emulator movement (formation of new bricks) by providing a minimum threshold that must be present. This threshold is the "Standard Brick" input (the input pulls double duty). Code also provides multiple plotting options.
Use the code to help see trends and reduce the chop/erroneous data. Also helps to identify where trend deviations are present.
TableBuilderTableBuilder is a library designed to make it easier to create tables in PineScript.
It allows you to more flexibly define the structure of a table before actually building it.
Features:
Style inheritance: styles are inherited from Table, to Column, to Row, and then Cell.
Columns are useful for propagating/reusing style but they are not required.
Add rows with different numbers of cells. The resultant number of columns in the table will be determined by the max number of cells vs the number of defined columns.
Auto text color: Instead of having to set the font color for every cell, the color is automatically determined by the luminosity of the background color.
See the 'Demo' section of the code for an example.
[Pt] TICK + Heikin Ashi RSI IndicatorThis indicator combines NYSE TICK and RSI to aim to provide a view of NYSE market trend strength.
What is TICK
NYSE TICK, also known as the TICK index, is a technical analysis indicator that shows the number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that are trading on an uptick or a downtick in a particular period of time. The TICK index is calculated by subtracting the number of stocks trading on a downtick from the number of stocks trading on an uptick. A reading of +1000 on the TICK index, for example, would indicate that there are 1000 more stocks trading on an uptick than on a downtick. The TICK index is often used as a measure of market sentiment, as it can provide insight into whether there is more buying or selling pressure in the market at a given time. A high TICK index reading may suggest that there is strong buying pressure, while a low TICK index reading may indicate that there is more selling pressure in the market.
By default, I am using -800 and 800 for oversold and overbought levels. These are configurable. Also, this indicator includes TICK divergence signals.
The TICK index is usually very volatile, so this indicator is best suited for lower timeframes, such as 1 to 5 min charts.
Idea of TICK neutral zone
As part of this indicator I've identified what I consider as "neutral" range for the TICK. Based on my own personal experience, the market tends to be in consolidation or choppy in this range. By default, I've defined this range to be -200 to 200. This range is configurable.
Signals
In combination with RSI and Heikin Ashi RSI (HARSI), which help smooths out the RSI values and make it easier to identify trends and potential reversal points, this indicator aims to generate Bullish vs Bearish signals based on the following conditions:
- bullish / bearish HARSI candle
- Inside bar on HARSI candle
- TICK trend (above or below Neutral zone)
- RSI trend (above or below 0, but not overbought or oversold)
- RSI / HARSI convergence and divergence
When all bullish conditions are met, the signal turns bright green. Bright red when all bearish conditions are met. These generated signals aims to provide users easy to read visual cues to help with their trades.
A table is also provided in attempt to identify the trend in real time:
TICK trend:
- Bullish, Extended
- Bullish
- Neutral w/ Bullish bias
- Neutral w/ Bearish bias
- Bearish
- Bearish, Extended
RSI:
- Bullish
- Bearish
Note on scale
This indicator is based on the scale for TICK, hence the RSI and HARSI are scaled. By default, standard overbought RSI value of 70 = 800 on this scale, whereas oversold value of 30 = -800.

Heikin Ashi RSI code was borrowed from @JayRogers - Heikin Ashi RSI Oscillator
Anchored VWAP BandSimple script to anchor vwap to a drag and drop spot on the chart and display it as a band instead of a line.
the AVAP Band displays:
1. The AVWAP using High as the source
2. The AVWAP using OHLC4 as the source
3. The AVWAP using Low as the source
This is just a different way of visualising VWAP from an anchored point in time (Band vs Line)
Weird Renko StratThis strategy uses Renko, it generates a signal when there is a reversal in Renko. When using historical data, it provides a good entry and an okay exit. However, in a real-time environment, this strategy is subject to repaint and may produce a false signal.
As a result, the backtesting result should not be used as a metric to predict future results. It is highly recommended to forward-test the strategy before using it in real trading. I forward test it from 12/18/2022 to 12/21/2022 in paper trading, using the alert feature in Tradingview. I made 60 trades trading the BTCUSDT BINANCE 3 min with 26 as the param and under the condition that I use 20x margin, compounding my yield, and having 0 trading fee, a steady loss is generated: from $10 to $3.02.
This is quite interesting. As if I flip the signal from "Long" to "Short" and another way too, it will be a steady profit from $10 to $21.85. Hence, if I'm trying to anti-trade the real-time alert signal, the current "4 Days Result" will be good. Nevertheless, I still have to forward-test it for longer to see if it will fail eventually.
Dive into the setting of the strategy
- Margin is the leverage you use. 1 means 1x, 10 means 10x. It affects the backtest yield when you backtest
- Compound Yield button is for compound calculation, disable it to go back to normal backtesting
- Anti Strategy button is to do the opposite direction trade, when the original strat told you to "Long", you "Short" instead. Enable it to use the feature
- Param is the block size for the Renko chart
- Drawdown is just a visual tool for you in case you want to place a stop loss (represent by the semitransparent red area in the chart)
- From date Thru Date is to specify the backtest range of the strategy, This feature is turned off by default. It is controlled by the Max Backtest Timeframe which will be explain below
- Max Backtest Timeframe control the From date Thru Date function, disable it to enable the From Date Thru Date function
Param is the most important input in this strategy as it directly affects performance. It is highly recommended to backtest nearly all the possible parameters before deploying it in real trading. Some factors should be considered:
- Price of the asset (like an asset of 1 USD vs an asset of 10000 USD required different param)
- Timeframe (1-minute param is different than 1-month param)
I believe this is caused by the volatility of the selected timeframe since different timeframe has different volatility. Param should be fine-tuned before usage.
Here is the param I'm using:
BTCUSDT BINANCE 3min: 26
BTCUSDT BINANCE 5min: 28
BTCUSDT BINANCE 1day: 15
Background of the strategy:
- The strategy starts with $10 at the start of backtesting (customizable in setting)
- The trading fee is set to 0.00% which is not common for most of the popular exchanges (customizable in setting)
- The contract size is not a fixed amount, but it uses your balance to buy it at the open price. If you are using the compound mode, your balance will be your current total balance. If you are using the non-compound mode, it will just use the $10 you start with unless you change the amount you start with. If you are using a margin higher than 1, it will calculate the corresponding contract size properly based on your margin. (Only these options are allowed, you are not able to change them without changing the code)
Buyer to Seller Volume (BSV) Indicator As promised, here is the buyer to seller volume indicator!
About it/How it works:
The indicator tracks buying and selling volume. It does it simplistically but effectively simply by looking at red vs green candles and averaging out the volume of each respective candle.
It uses the SMA of buying/selling and overall volume to track buyers to sellers and also display the average volume traded over a designated period of time.
Legend:
Green lines = buying volume
Red lines = selling volume
Yellow lines = SMA over designated period of time (user input defined, default is 14 candles).
Buyers are shown in green and sellers are shown in red:
How to Use it:
Default, the indicator goes to 1 Day, 14 candle period.
My preference personally is to use to have it go to "chart" but you can view any time period on the chart that you want and designate the time period of volume you want to view independently.
This can be used for:
1. Identify trends: When buying or selling volume is above selling volume and above the SMA, you know that this persuasively supports a bullish trend. Inverse for the opposite (see below):
2. To identify fakeouts and whether there is volume backing a move:
3. To identify potential changes in trends via a cross:
Its also a great reference when you are unsure of a move. This indicator literally just saved me from wrongfully shorting the FOMC bear flag today:
Probably many other uses you can find, but these are the things I like to use it for!
As always, I have posted a tutorial video for your reference:
As always though, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions for the indicator, please share them below!
Safe trades and best of luck to all!
Ticker vs IndexI was exploring a simple idea how I can visualize the ticker performance against the underlying Index (or any other ticker) performance.
how it works:
When the line is moving up (blue zone), the ticker is performing better than the underlying index (e.g. SPX)(configurable).
When the line is moving down (red zone), the ticker is performing worse than the underlying index.
How to use it:
Use as confirmation always in conjunction with other (main) indicators, avoid "buy" when indicator is in the red zone
Also, crossing over the zero line is often an indication for an upcoming upward move
Try to different SMA length - default is 20 but 10 was often showing better results
(No financial advise, for testing purposes only)
