Index Position Size Calculator for [US30 / US100 / SP500]What it does
This tool helps you size positions consistently for index trades on US30 (Dow Jones), NAS100 (Nasdaq-100), and SP500 (S&P 500). Enter your account balance, risk %, and your planned Entry / Stop-Loss / Target and the script calculates:
• Position Size (rounded to your lot/contract step)
• Risk-to-Reward (R/R)
• Potential P/L in USD based on your inputs
• Visual Entry / SL / TP lines with green/red zones and concise labels
Supported contract styles
Choose a preset for common products (e.g., CFD $1/pt, YM/NQ/ES futures, MYM/MNQ/MES micros) or override the economics yourself. You remain in control of the two key levers:
• $/point — how many dollars you gain/lose per 1 index point per contract/lot
• Point size — how many price units equal 1 index point on your chart (often 1.0, but some brokers use 0.1 or 0.5)
Inputs
• Account Balance ($) and Risk % per trade
• Index: US30 / NAS100 / SP500
• Contract: CFD / Futures (YM, NQ, ES) / Micros (MYM, MNQ, MES)
• $/point: auto from Contract or manual override
• Point size: auto from Index or manual override
• Position size step: rounding (e.g., 1 for futures, 0.01 for CFDs)
• Entry / SL / TP: typed values (snapped to tick), with on-chart zones and labels
• Display toggles for lines and labels
How the math works
• StopPoints = |Entry − SL| ÷ PointSize
• ProfitPoints = |TP − Entry| ÷ PointSize
• Position Size = (AccountBalance × Risk%) ÷ (StopPoints × $/point)
• R/R = ProfitPoints ÷ StopPoints
• Potential P/L = PositionSize × Points × $/point
How to use (quick start)
1. Select Index and Contract.
2. Confirm $/point and Point size match your broker’s specs.
3. Enter Entry / SL / TP for the trade idea.
4. Read the Position Size, R/R, and Potential P/L in the info box.
5. Adjust for fees, spreads, and slippage as needed.
Notes & limitations
• Broker symbols can vary. Always verify $/point and Point size for your instrument before risking capital.
• The script does not place orders and does not generate trade signals; it’s a sizing/visualization tool.
• Results can differ across brokers due to pricing, spreads, minimum lot sizes, and execution rules.
• Use on the intended indices; you’ll see a reminder if you load it elsewhere.
Changelog highlights
• Pine v6, constant-safe inputs, tick-snapping, global fills (no local-scope errors).
• Robust label handling and optional minimal chart markers.

Index Generator [By MUQWISHI]▋ INTRODUCTION :
The “Index Generator” simplifies the process of building a custom market index, allowing investors to enter a list of preferred holdings from global securities. It aims to serve as an approach for tracking performance, conducting research, and analyzing specific aspects of the global market. The output will include an index value, a table of holdings, and chart plotting, providing a deeper understanding of historical movement.
_______________________
▋ OVERVIEW:
The image can be taken as an example of building a custom index. I created this index and named it “My Oil & Gas Index”. The index comprises several global energy companies. Essentially, the indicator weights each company by collecting the number of shares and then computes the market capitalization before sorting them as seen in the table.
_______________________
▋ OUTPUTS:
The output can be divided into 3 sections:
1. Index Title (Name & Value).
2. Index Holdings.
3. Index Chart.
1. Index Title , displays the index name at the top, and at the bottom, it shows the index value, along with the daily change in points and percentage.
2. Index Holdings , displays list the holding securities inside a table that contains the ticker, price, daily change %, market cap, and weight %. Additionally, a tooltip appears when the user passes the cursor over a ticker's cell, showing brief information about the company, such as the company's name, exchange market, country, sector, and industry.
3. Index Chart , display a plot of the historical movement of the index in the form of a bar, candle, or line chart.
_______________________
▋ INDICATOR SETTINGS:
(1) Naming the index.
(2) Entering a currency. To unite all securities in one currency.
(3) Table location on the chart.
(4) Table’s cells size.
(5) Table’s colors.
(6) Sorting table. By securities’ (Market Cap, Change%, Price, or Ticker Alphabetical) order.
(7) Plotting formation (Candle, Bar, or Line)
(8) To show/hide any indicator’s components.
(9) There are 34 fields where user can fill them with symbols.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Index Value RainbowThis indicator is used to estimate Index valuation based on each countries base money supply M0. The chart will compare how the index value will move alongside with base money supply for comparison study. The chart presented here is just a relative comparison with some scaling and shifting so it doesn't refers to any real measurement. However it can be used to track the index whether it's too cheap or too expensive in relative to money supply available in the market.
- The gray line represent the money supply M0
- The rainbow above the gray line represent the multiplication factors from 1x, 2x, ..., 10x
- The rainbow below the gray line represent the division factors from 0.8x, 0.6x, ..., 0.2x
This indicator can only be used with specific indices mentioned below. Currently can be used to estimate the value of largest indices by market cap:
- US Index - based on Fed Balance Sheet (SPX, NDX, DJI, RUI, RUT, RUA, ES1!, NQ1!, YM1!, RTY1!)
- EU Index - based on M1 Money Supply (N100, EU500)
- JP Index - based on M0 Money Supply (NI225, NKY)
- CN Index - based on M0 Money Supply (000001, 399001)
- HK Index - based on M0 Money Supply (HSI)
- SG Index - based on M0 Money Supply (STI)
- CA Index - based on M0 Money Supply (TSX)
- AU Index - based on M0 Money Supply (ASX200, AUS200)
- ID Index - based on M0 Money Supply (COMPOSITE)

Index investingThe Index Investing indicator simplifies decision-making for adding to Index ETF's Long-term investments. By utilizing a percentage discount methodology, it highlights potential opportunities to enhance portfolios. This straightforward tool aids in identifying favorable moments to invest based on calculated price discounts from selected reference points, making the process more systematic and less subjective.
🔶 SETTINGS
Reference Price: Choose between 'All-Time-High' or 'Start of the Year' as the basis for calculating discount levels. This allows for flexibility in strategy depending on market conditions or investment philosophy.
Discount 1 %, Discount 2 %, Discount 3 %: These inputs define the percentage below the reference price at which buy signals are generated. They represent strategic entry points at discounted prices.
🔶 Default Parameters
The default parameters of 4.13%, 8.26%, and 12.39% for the discount levels are chosen based on the average 5-year return of the NSE:NIFTY Index, which stands at approximately 12.39%. By dividing this return into three parts, we obtain a structured approach to capturing potential upside at varying levels of market retracement, providing a logical basis for the selected default values.
Users have the flexibility to modify these parameters, tailoring the indicator to fit their unique approach and market outlook.
🔶 How Levels Are Calculated
Discount levels are calculated using the formula: Discount Price = Reference Price * (1 - Discount %) . This succinct approach establishes specific entry points below the chosen reference, such as an all-time high or the year's start price.
🔶 How Are the Buy Labels Generated
Buy signals are generated when the market price(Low of the candle) crosses under any of the defined discount levels. Each level has a corresponding buy label ('Buy 1', 'Buy 2', 'Buy 3'), which is activated upon the price crossing below the specified discount level and is only reset at the beginning of a new year or upon reaching a new reference high, ensuring signals are not repetitive for the same price level.
🔶 Other Features
Alerts: The indicator provides alerts for each buy signal, notifying potential entry points at their defined discount levels. The alert triggers only once per candle.
Year Marker: A vertical line with an accompanying label marks the start of each trading year on the chart. This feature aids in visualizing the temporal context of buy signals and reference price adjustments.
Index Trend Filter - Weekend Trend TraderThis little script simply gives you a quick visual cue of where price is compared to a particular EMA of another security or underlying index.
It is based on Nick Radge's broader market filter weekend trend trader system, but can be applied to other timeframes if you want to confirm if the index is in an up trend or down trend.
• Green means the underlying index price is above the EMA
• Red means the underlying index price is below the EMA
Kraken Altcoin IndexIndex based upon the valuation of LTC, ETH, ETC, XMR and ZEC in XBT, USD and EUR
Options:
- choose which of the above alt coins are part of the index
- choose whether you want to see the valuation in XBT, USD or EUR
Note that because of the high valuation of ZEC during the launch period and the months thereafter it has a significant effect on the index. This is true as well for XMR, though to lesser extend.
Because of these effect, ZEC and XMR are not taken part of the index by default.
Please like it, if you find it useful.
If you'd like me to improve the indicator, the by all means leave a comment or PM me.
Cheers!
LUNC Spot IndexIndex of several (eventually all) luna classic spot markets with some bonus features!
Index SMA vs. CloseVery simple script that index the close price with the SMA 20,50 and 200. It is very useful to plot and see if stocks are extended vs. de SMAs.
Index Vs Futures for OKEX Quarterly Contracts 5.0*****Please note that all old versions of this script are depreciated and will report incorrect data!*****
This "indicator" is made to display the history of the price difference between OKEX's quarterly contracts and the market that it is supposed to be tracking. Contango differences are natural, but it's nice to visualize how they change over time.
This update to this script brings in further functionality when OKEX changed the index that the futures contracts are based off of to remove chinese exchanges from the mix. This script reflects that change and crosses-over when that change was made.
The new index removed chinese exchanges which are (currently) trading at a significant discount which will give bad data when using my old code.
Make Your Own Index!Intro
For my first script, I have released Make Your Own Index version 1. It has a long way to go so please stay tuned. Scroll down to read all the updates and notes as they come in.
Why it matters
Making your index is important to quickly see an index of symbols that you want to chart. Having the ability to assign weightings gives you the opportunity to make the index equal weighted or custom weighted. As we all know, indexes like the S&P 500 are NOT equal weighted, but more heavily weighted toward the winners. Now, you can make your own of a basket of symbols and make them custom weighted or equal weighted. Have some fun exploring this.
Features
You select the symbols of your choice and then chart them as one line with a specific weighting. This can be done in the settings menu once the indicator is selected. Use the symbol search field to add a symbol. From what I have tested, it works for any symbol whether it's stocks, crypto, FX and more. The default is set to stocks.
The Weight field in the settings menu is where you can assign a specific weight to the symbol of your choice. This way you can make an equal weighted index or a custom weighted index. By default each symbol is set to 10 or 10%. There are 10 symbols in the menu, so at 10%, they are equally weighted! In the script I have made it so each weighting is in percentage terms. So type in the percentage and you're good to go.
The chart is currently displayed in a separate window and not as an overlay. This may change in the future. The line can also be changed slightly and the color of it. Stay tuned for more on this.
Send in feedback
I am a Pine rookie in all regards and I am surely looking for support, feedback, and/or ideas. I want to add a lot more to this. If you look at the settings you will see have some input fields that are in their first iteration and currently needing to be improved. Rather than waiting to make them perfect, I just want to get this out there and update as I go. Also, as mentioned, I will definitely need a little support at adding more features that I have in mind.
Credit where credit is due
I used a lot of Open Source indicators as inspiration to quickly get going so thank you to the following people and accounts who share open source scripts that you can use to learn, test, and get started instantly:
@TradingView
@LucF
@PineCoders
@KioseffTrading
@norok
@RedKTrader
@NeoButane
And many others. That's the beauty of open source!
Closing note
Publishing it open source so people can fact check my code and thinking. One thing I know for sure is that this can probably be created in a more efficient way. Nonetheless, please a take look and let me know what you think - I am excited to make some updates over the coming weeks.
Thanks for reading!

Jakes Index------------
English
I introduce the community to the Jakes Index. Basically, this is an index containing the top 10 cryptocurrencies, classified according to their Marketcap. The purpose of this index is to show a general market context, without being tied to a single crypto. With an overview of the market, it is easier to identify the market trend, in addition to being an excellent indicator to gauge the performance of your Crypt portfolio. Supply data comes from CoinMarktCap, and price data comes mostly from Binance, however some crypts are not yet available for trading by it, so the prices used come from the first broker indicated by TradingView in the search.
Given that one of the crypts was launched very recently, Internet Computer to be more exact, I decided to leave it out of the index, adding "//" to the code in all references to it. If you want to see the performance of the index with the included cryptography, just delete the bars that follow in front of your code, such parts: "ASSET8; SUPPLY8; PESO8; QOC8; FINM8" after that add "//" in "PESO11" and remove the bars from "PESSO11F", in addition to also removing the F. Do the same with "JAKESINDEX" at the end of the code, and you will have the result with the Internet Computer included.
The calculation of the index takes into account the Marketcap of the crypto, which is divided by the sum of the Marketcap of all the others, and then the result is multiplied by the market value of the Cryptocurrency. Thus, we have an index weighted by Marketcap with the 10 most important cryptocurrencies in the market AT THE TIME. It is important to remember that this index must be updated, both in terms of the currencies that change their place in the ranking with certain frequency, as the Supply that each one has, since coins with active mining, as is the case of Bitcoin, change their Supply frequently.
To keep the index up to date, I will do ONE Monthly update, always posting the code with the new changes.

Português
Apresento a comunidade o Jakes Index. Basicamente, este é um índice contendo as 10 principais criptomoedas, classificadas de acordo com seu Marketcap. O objetivo deste índice é mostrar um contexto geral do mercado, sem ficar preso a uma única cripto. Com um apanhado geral sobre o mercado, fica mais fácil identificar a tendência do mercado, além de ser um excelente indicador para balizar o desempenho da sua carteira de Criptos. Os dados referentes a Supply são advindos do CoinMarktCap, e os dados dos preços vem em sua maioria da Binance, porém algumas criptos ainda não estão disponíveis para negociação pela mesma, portanto os preços utilizados vem da primeira corretora indicada pelo TradingView na busca.
Tendo em vista que uma das criptos foi lançada muito recentemente, a Internet Computer para ser mais exato, decidi deixa-la de fora do índice, adicionando "//" no código em todas as referencias a mesma. Caso queira ver o desempenho do índice com a cripto incluída, basta apagar as barras que seguem na frente de seu código, sendo tais partes: "ASSET8; SUPPLY8; PESO8; QOC8; FINM8" após isso adicione "//" em "PESO11" e remova as barras de "PESSO11F", além de remover também o F. Faça o mesmo com "JAKESINDEX" no fim do código, e terá o resultado com a Internet Computer incluída.
O calculo do índice leva em conta o Marketcap da cripto, que é dividio pela soma do Marketcap de todas as outras, e então o resultado é multiplicado pelo valor a mercado da Criptomoeda. Dessa forma, temos um índice ponderado pelo Marketcap com as 10 Criptomoedas mais importantes do mercado NO MOMENTO. É importante lembrar que este índice deve ser atualizado, tanto em questão das moedas que mudam com certa frequência seu lugar no ranking, como o Supply que cada uma tem, visto que moedas com mineração ativa, como é o caso do Bitcoin, mudam seu Supply com frequência.
Para manter o índice atualizado, farei UMA atualização Mensal, postando sempre o código com as novas alterações.

AP Index - Geomagnetic disturbancesDaily AP index back to 2015-01-01.
Geomagnetic disturbances can be monitored by ground-based magnetic observatories recording the three magnetic field components. The global Kp index is obtained as the mean value of the disturbance levels in the two horizontal field components, observed at 13 selected, subauroral stations . The name Kp originates from "planetarische Kennziffer" ( = planetary index).
The three-hour index ap and the daily indices Ap, Cp and C9 are directly related to the Kp index. In order to obtain a linear scale from Kp, J. Bartels gave the following table to derive a three-hour equivalent range, named ap index.
Geomagnetic Ap Index: The daily index Ap is obtained by averaging the eight values of ap for each day.
Based on the data from Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences.
.BXBT IndexThe current .BXBT index weighted as close as possible to BitMEX's with updates as BitMEX refreshes their index.
Difference between this and the script titled '2020 March 27 .BXBT Index': this one will receive updates because it doesn't have a date in its title.
Methodology
www.bitmex.com
"BitMEX Index Weights, assuming no constituent exchanges have been excluded due to Index Protection Rules, last updated 27 December 2019 at 12:00:05 UTC."
Binance: -
Bitstamp: 10.61%
Bittrex: 2.53%
Coinbase: 52.30%
Gemini: 6.89%
Huobi: -
Itbit: 4.21%
Kraken: 23.46%
Poloniex: -
ItBit's weight is combined with Gemini's due to ItBit not being on TradingView as of now. BITTREX:BTCUSD substituted with BITTREX:BTCUSDT*POLONIEX:USDTUSD to backfill because Bittrex only recently (late 2018) started to offer a fiat BTC/USD pair. Not that it matters since the index used in 2018 didn't include Bittrex if I remember correctly.
What is actually used for 27/12/2019 to 27/03/2020:
Binance: -
Bitstamp: 10.61%
Bittrex: 2.53%
Coinbase: 52.30%
Gemini: 11.10%
Huobi: -

Kraken: 23.46%
Poloniex: -
Options:
Toggle candlesticks or close line
Change price source to be used for indicators
To be added: Change quarter to show indexes for different times, with labels that apply to the appropriate index used
Reasons to use this vs. the index itself: (not many)
It is helpful as a reference for other indicators or creation of an index.
Canadian Dollar Currency IndexCanadian Dollar Currency Index updates in real time and doesn't close like tradingview.com's currency indexes. Based off of the Bank of Canada's CEER methodology and tracks it quite closely, although not perfectly. It seems to be higher than the Bank of Canada's index by 2 points. This could be due to using different data for the currencies and as I am not proficient in PineScript, I don't think I was able to replicate the formula exactly...? Regardless ,it works well and is more than close enough to suit one's purpose of tracking the Canadian dollar against a basket of currencies that are weighted according to the Bank of Canada's total weights (The total weight of a country j in year t is a weighted average of the their import, export and third-market competition weights). For more information on the actual Bank of Canada's index: www.bankofcanada.ca

Intramarket Difference Index StrategyHi Traders !!
The IDI Strategy:
In layman’s terms this strategy compares two indicators across markets and exploits their differences.
note: it is best the two markets are correlated as then we know we are trading a short to long term deviation from both markets' general trend with the assumption both markets will trend again sometime in the future thereby exhausting our trading opportunity.
📍 Import Notes:
This Strategy calculates trade position size independently (i.e. risk per trade is controlled in the user inputs tab), this means that the ‘Order size’ input in the ‘Properties’ tab will have no effect on the strategy. Why ? because this allows us to define custom position size algorithms which we can use to improve our risk management and equity growth over time. Here we have the option to have fixed quantity or fixed percentage of equity ATR (Average True Range) based stops in addition to the turtle trading position size algorithm.
‘Pyramiding’ does not work for this strategy’, similar to the order size input togeling this input will have no effect on the strategy as the strategy explicitly defines the maximum order size to be 1.
This strategy is not perfect, and as of writing of this post I have not traded this algo.
Always take your time to backtests and debug the strategy.
🔷 The IDI Strategy:
By default this strategy pulls data from your current TV chart and then compares it to the base market, be default BINANCE:BTCUSD . The strategy pulls SMA and RSI data from either market (we call this the difference data), standardizes the data (solving the different unit problem across markets) such that it is comparable and then differentiates the data, calling the result of this transformation and difference the Intramarket Difference (ID). The formula for the the ID is
ID = market1_diff_data - market2_diff_data (1)

market(i)_diff_data = diff_data / ATR(j)_market(i)^0.5,
where i = {1, 2} and j = the natural numbers excluding 0
Formula (1) interpretation is the following
When ID > 0: this means the current market outperforms the base market
When ID = 0: Markets are at long run equilibrium
When ID < 0: this means the current market underperforms the base market
To form the strategy we define one of two strategy type’s which are Trend and Mean Revesion respectively.
🔸 Trend Case:
Given the ‘‘Strategy Type’’ is equal to TREND we define a threshold for which if the ID crosses over we go long and if the ID crosses under the negative of the threshold we go short.
The motivating idea is that the ID is an indicator of the two symbols being out of sync, and given we know volatility clustering, momentum and mean reversion of anomalies to be a stylised fact of financial data we can construct a trading premise. Let's first talk more about this premise.
For some markets (cryptocurrency markets - synthetic symbols in TV) the stylised fact of momentum is true, this means that higher momentum is followed by higher momentum, and given we know momentum to be a vector quantity (with magnitude and direction) this momentum can be both positive and negative i.e. when the ID crosses above some threshold we make an assumption it will continue in that direction for some time before executing back to its long run equilibrium of 0 which is a reasonable assumption to make if the market are correlated. For example for the BTCUSD - ETHUSD pair, if the ID > +threshold (inputs for MA and RSI based ID thresholds are found under the ‘‘INTRAMARKET DIFFERENCE INDEX’’ group’), ETHUSD outperforms BTCUSD, we assume the momentum to continue so we go long ETHUSD.
In the standard case we would exit the market when the IDI returns to its long run equilibrium of 0 (for the positive case the ID may return to 0 because ETH’s difference data may have decreased or BTC’s difference data may have increased). However in this strategy we will not define this as our exit condition, why ?
This is because we want to ‘‘let our winners run’’, to achieve this we define a trailing Donchian Channel stop loss (along with a fixed ATR based stop as our volatility proxy). If we were too use the 0 exit the strategy may print a buy signal (ID > +threshold in the simple case, market regimes may be used), return to 0 and then print another buy signal, and this process can loop may times, this high trade frequency means we fail capture the entire market move lowering our profit, furthermore on lower time frames this high trade frequencies mean we pay more transaction costs (due to price slippage, commission and big-ask spread) which means less profit.
By capturing the sum of many momentum moves we are essentially following the trend hence the trend following strategy type.
Here we also print the IDI (with default strategy settings with the MA difference type), we can see that by letting our winners run we may catch many valid momentum moves, that results in a larger final pnl that if we would otherwise exit based on the equilibrium condition(Valid trades are denoted by solid green and red arrows respectively and all other valid trades which occur within the original signal are light green and red small arrows).
another example...
Note: if you would like to plot the IDI separately copy and paste the following code in a new Pine Script indicator template.

// INTRAMARKET INDEX
var string g_idi = "intramarket diffirence index"
ui_index_1 = input.symbol("BINANCE:BTCUSD", title = "Base market", group = g_idi)

ui_ma_lkb = input.int(24, title = "lookback of ma and volatility scaling constant", group = g_idi)
ui_rsi_lkb = input.int(14, title = "Lookback of RSI", group = g_idi)
ui_atr_lkb = input.int(300, title = "ATR lookback - Normalising value", group = g_idi)

Note it is possible that after printing a buy the strategy then prints many sell signals before returning to a buy, which again has the same implication (less profit. Potentially because we exit early only for price to continue upwards hence missing the larger "trend"). The image below showcases this cenario and again, by allowing our winner to run we may capture more profit (theoretically).
This should be clear...
🔸 Mean Reversion Case:
We stated prior that mean reversion of anomalies is an standerdies fact of financial data, how can we exploit this ?
We exploit this by normalizing the ID by applying the Ehlers fisher transformation. The transformed data is then assumed to be approximately normally distributed. To form the strategy we employ the same logic as for the z score, if the FT normalized ID > 2.5 (< -2.5) we buy (short). Our exit conditions remain unchanged (fixed ATR stop and trailing Donchian Trailing stop)
🔷 Position Sizing:
If ‘‘Fixed Risk From Initial Balance’’ is toggled true this means we risk a fixed percentage of our initial balance, if false we risk a fixed percentage of our equity (current balance).
Note we also employ a volatility adjusted position sizing formula, the turtle training method which is defined as follows.
Turtle position size = (1/ r * ATR * DV) * C
Where,
r = risk factor coefficient (default is 20)
ATR(j) = risk proxy, over j times steps
DV = Dollar Volatility, where DV = (1/Asset Price) * Capital at Risk
🔷 Risk Management:
Correct money management means we can limit risk and increase reward (theoretically). Here we employ
Max loss and gain per day
Max loss per trade
Max number of consecutive losing trades until trade skip
To read more see the tooltips (info circle).
🔷 Take Profit:
By defualt the script uses a Donchain Channel as a trailing stop and take profit, In addition to this the script defines a fixed ATR stop losses (by defualt, this covers cases where the DC range may be to wide making a fixed ATR stop usefull), ATR take profits however are defined but optional.
ATR SL and TP defined for all trades
🔷 Hurst Regime (Regime Filter):
The Hurst Exponent (H) aims to segment the market into three different states, Trending (H > 0.5), Random Geometric Brownian Motion (H = 0.5) and Mean Reverting / Contrarian (H < 0.5). In my interpretation this can be used as a trend filter that eliminates market noise.
We utilize the trending and mean reverting based states, as extra conditions required for valid trades for both strategy types respectively, in the process increasing our trade entry quality.
🔷 Example model Architecture:
Here is an example of one configuration of this strategy, combining all aspects discussed in this post.

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)
world stage indexThis is an indicator that expresses the ratio of "stage1" and "stage4" of world index.

The criteria are as follows:
EMA5≧EMA20≧EMA40 : Stage1
EMA5≦EMA20≦EMA40 : Stage4
A.The sum of Stage1 was multiplied by 2.5 and drawn on a scale of 0 to 100, with yellow area
B.The Sum of Stage4 was multiplied by 2.5 and drawn on a scale of 0 to 100, with blue area.
C. The ratio of A/B was multiplied by 2.5 and drawn on a scale of 0 to 100, with red lines.
This idea is from Kojirou Kousi.
40 symbols of this script are partially different from Kojiro kousi's idea.
