ICT FVG Buy/Sell SignalsThis bot is built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts such as:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – imbalance zones between candles.
Consequent Encroachment (CE) – the midpoint of a gap.
Premium / Discount Arrays – dealing ranges split into premium (sell-side) and discount (buy-side) zones.
Displacement candles – strong impulsive moves that confirm intent.
The bot scans for FVGs, marks CE levels, and waits for price to return to these levels.
When price revisits a valid FVG zone with displacement confirmation and in the correct PD array, the bot generates a BUY or SELL signal.
✅ Signal Rules
Buy Signal
Price trades back into a Bullish FVG.
Current bar shows bullish displacement (large bullish body relative to ATR).
Price is in discount territory of the current dealing range (if PD filter is enabled).
Close is above the CE line of the FVG.
Sell Signal
Price trades back into a Bearish FVG.
Current bar shows bearish displacement.
Price is in premium territory of the current dealing range.
Close is below the CE line of the FVG.
🎯 What You’ll See on the Chart
Green “BUY” labels below candles when long signals trigger.
Red “SELL” labels above candles when short signals trigger.
Shaded background:
Red = Premium zone (sell side).
Teal = Discount zone (buy side).
Yellow line = dealing range midpoint (equilibrium).
Dots on CE lines = midpoints of the latest bullish/bearish FVG.
🔔 Alerts
ICT Buy → Triggers when a bullish setup confirms.
ICT Sell → Triggers when a bearish setup confirms.

Market Internal Strength (DJI/Nasdaq/S&P)Market Health Dow, Nasdaq & S\&P 500 Breadth
Track the true internal health of the US market's three most important indices the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), the Nasdaq 100 (NDX), and the S\&P 500 (SPX).
Price action alone can be deceiving. A rising index might be driven by only a handful of mega-cap stocks, masking underlying weakness. This indicator provides a crucial look "under the hood" to measure the market's true breadth.
It visualizes the percentage of stocks within each index that are trading above their key moving averages (5, 20, 50, 100, 150, and 200-day). This allows you to instantly gauge whether a market trend is broadly supported by the majority of its constituent stocks.
Key Features
* Covers 3 Major US Indices Seamlessly switch your analysis between the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, and S\&P 500.
* Complete Breadth Picture Six MA periods offer a full view, from short-term momentum (5D, 20D) to the long-term institutional trend (150D, 200D).
* Fully Customizable Toggle the visibility of any line and adjust overbought/oversold levels to fit your personal strategy.
How to Use
1. Extreme Readings (Overbought/Oversold)
* Above 80% Signals a very strong, potentially overbought market. Caution is advised as a pullback could be near.
* Below 20% Signals a deeply oversold market, often indicating capitulation and potential buying opportunities.
2. Divergence (Powerful Warning Signal)
* Bearish The index price makes a new high, but this indicator makes a lower high. This warns that the rally is not broad-based and may be losing steam.
* Bullish The index price makes a new low, but this indicator makes a higher low. This suggests internal strength is building and a bottom may be forming.
3. Trend Confirmation
When the long-term lines (150D, 200D) remain high (e.g., \> 50%), the primary market trend is healthy and confirmed.
Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI)The Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI) measures the relative volatility of overnight price gaps versus intraday price movements for a given security, such as SPY or SPX. It uses a rolling standard deviation of absolute overnight percentage changes divided by the standard deviation of absolute intraday percentage changes over a customizable window. This helps traders identify periods where overnight gaps predominate, suggesting potential opportunities for strategies leveraging extended market moves.
Instructions
A
pply the indicator to your TradingView chart for the desired security (e.g., SPY or SPX).
Adjust the "Rolling Window" input to set the lookback period (default: 60 bars).
Modify the "1DTE Threshold" and "2DTE+ Threshold" inputs to tailor the levels at which you switch from 0DTE to 1DTE or multi-DTE strategies (default: 0.5 and 0.6).
Observe the OGDI line: values above the 1DTE threshold suggest favoring 1DTE strategies, while values above the 2DTE+ threshold indicate multi-DTE strategies may be more effective.
Use in conjunction with low VIX environments and uptrend legs for optimal results.
Pure Price Zone Flow🔎 What this indicator is
It’s a price-action-based zone indicator. Unlike moving average systems, this one relies only on:
1. Swing Highs & Swing Lows → The highest and lowest points within a recent lookback period (like "mini support & resistance").
2. ATR (Average True Range) → A volatility measure that expands the zone, making it more adaptive to different market conditions.
3. Breakouts & Retests → When price breaks above a swing high (bullish) or below a swing low (bearish), the indicator marks it and highlights the new trend.
👉 The goal is to spot clean structure shifts and define clear trend zones where traders can position themselves.
________________________________________
⚙️ How it is calculated
1. Swing High & Swing Low
o We look back len candles (default 20).
o Find the highest high (swingHigh) and the lowest low (swingLow) in that window.
o This forms the price range zone.
2. ATR Expansion
o We calculate ATR over the same len.
o Add/subtract it (multiplied by atrMult) to the zone edges to expand them.
o This ensures the zones breathe with volatility (tight in quiet markets, wide in choppy ones).
3. Mid-Zone
o Simply the average of swingHigh and swingLow.
o If price is above mid → bullish bias.
o If below mid → bearish bias.
o This gives us the trend color for candles.
4. Breakouts
o If the close crosses above swingHigh, we mark a bullish breakout with a label.
o If the close crosses below swingLow, we mark a bearish breakdown.
________________________________________
📊 How it helps traders
This indicator helps by:
1. Identifying Structure Shifts
o Many traders watch swing highs/lows for breakouts or reversals.
o This automates the process and visually confirms when structure is broken.
2. Dynamic Zone Trading
o Instead of fixed support/resistance, the ATR expansion adapts to volatility.
o This avoids false signals in high-volatility conditions.
3. Trend Bias at a Glance
o Candle coloring instantly tells you whether price is in bullish or bearish territory relative to the mid-zone.
4. Breakout Confirmation
o The labels show when a breakout has occurred, so traders can react quickly (e.g., enter with trend, wait for retest, or avoid fading moves).
________________________________________
🌍 Markets it works best in
• Crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.): Very effective since crypto is breakout-driven and respects swing levels.
• Forex: Good for volatility-adaptive structure analysis, especially in trending pairs.
• Indices (SPX, NASDAQ, DAX, NIFTY): Useful for breakout trading during session opens or key news events.
• Commodities (Gold, Oil, Silver): Works well to define intraday ranges and breakout levels.
⚠️ Less useful in low-volatility, mean-reverting assets (like some penny stocks or sideways ranges), because breakouts may be rare or fake.
________________________________________
💡 How it adds value
• Strips away unnecessary complexity (no lagging averages).
• Focuses directly on what price is doing structurally.
• Adaptive → works across different markets & timeframes.
• Easy visualization → zones, trend coloring, breakout markers.
• Helps traders trade with the flow of the market, instead of guessing tops/bottoms.
________________________________________
👉 In short:
This indicator turns raw price action into clear, actionable zones.
It highlights when the market shifts from balance to breakout, so traders can align with momentum rather than fighting it.
RRG Relative Strength# RRG Relative Strength (RRG RS)
Compare any symbol to a benchmark using two RRG-style lines: **RS-Ratio** (trend of relative strength) and **RS-Momentum** (momentum of that trend). Both are centered at **100**:
- **RS-Ratio > 100** → outperforming the benchmark
- **RS-Ratio < 100** → underperforming
- **RS-Momentum** often **leads** RS-Ratio (crosses 100 earlier)
# How it works
1) Relative Strength (RS): RS = Close(symbol) / Close(benchmark)
2) Normalize around 100: smooth RS with EMA and divide RS by that EMA
3) RS-Ratio: EMA( RS / EMA(RS, Length), LenSmooth ) * 100
4) RS-Momentum: RS-Ratio / EMA(RS-Ratio, LenSmooth) * 100
# Inputs
- Length (default 14): normalization window for RS
- Length Smooth (default 20): smoothing window for RS-Ratio & RS-Momentum
# Benchmark (auto)
- US: SP:SPX (S&P 500)
- Vietnam: HOSE:VNINDEX
- Crypto: INDEX:BTCUSD
(Modify the mapping if needed, or replace with your own input.symbol().)
# How to read
- Improving: RS-Momentum crosses above 100 while RS-Ratio turns up
- Leading: RS-Ratio > 100 with RS-Momentum ≥ 100
- Weakening: RS-Momentum drops below 100; RS-Ratio often follows
# Timeframes & presets
- Works on Daily and Weekly charts
- Daily (fast): 14 / 20
- Approx. weekly behavior on Daily: 50 / 60
Note: Values usually hover near 100 (e.g., ~90–110) but are not strictly bounded. Ensure your symbol and benchmark trade in comparable sessions/currencies.
Extended CANSLIM Indicator❖ Extended CANSLIM Indicator.
The Extended CANSLIM indicator is an indicator that concentrates all the tools usually used by CANSLIM traders.
It shows a table where all the stock fundamental information is shown at once first for the last quarter and then up to 5 years back.
The fundamental data is checked against well known CANSLIM validation criteria and is shown over 4 state levels.

❖ Historical Data.
Optionally selectable historical data can be displayed for C, A, Revenue and ROE up to 20 quarters if available.
Quarterly numbers can also be displayed for A, C and Revenue.
Information can be shown in Chronological or Reverse Chronological order (default).
Increasing growth quarters are shown in white, while diminuing ones are shown in Yellow.
Transition from Losing to Profitable quarters are shown with an exclamation mark ‘!’
Finally, losing quarters are shown between parenthesis.
❖ MAs on chart.
Displays 200, 100, 50 and 20 days MAs on chart.
The MAs are also automatically scaled in the 1W time frame.
❖ New 52 Week High on chart.
A sun is shown on the chart the first time that a new 52 week high is reached.
The N cell shows a filled sun when a 52 week high is no older than a month, an lighter sun when it’s no older than a quarter or a moon otherwise.
❖ Pocket Pivots on chart.
Small triangles below the price are signaling pocket pivots.
❖ Bases on chart, formerly Darvas Boxes.
Draw bases as defined by Darvas boxes, both top or bottom of bases can be selected to be shown in order to only show resistance or support.
❖ Market exposure/direction indicator.
When charting S&P500 (SPX), Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX), Nasdaq composite (IXIC) or Dow Jownes Index (DJIA), the indicator switches to Market Exposure indicator, showing also Accumulation/Distribution days when volume information is available. This indication which varies from 0% to 100% is what is shown under the M letter in the CANSLIM table which is calculated on the S&P500.
❖ Follow Through Days indicator.
If you are an adept of the Low-cheat entry, then you will be highly interested by the Follow Through days indicator as measured in the S&P 500 and shown as diamonds on the chart.
The follow-through days are calculated on S&P500 but shown in current stock chart so you don’t need to chart the S&P 500 to know that a follow through day occurred.
Follow Through days show correctly on Daily time frame and most are also shown on the Weekly time frame as well.
They are also classified according to the market zone in which they occur:
0%-5% from peak = Pullback : FT day is not shown.
5%-10% from peak = Minor Correction : Minor FT days is shown.
10%-20% from peak = Correction : Intermediate FT days us shown
20+% from peak = Bear Market : Makor FT days is shown
❖ RS Line and Rating indicator.
A RS Line and Rating indicator can be added to the chart.
Relative Strength Rating Accuracy.
Please note that the RS Rating is not 100% accurate when compared to IBD values.
❖ Earning Line indicator.
An Earning Line indicator can be added to the chart.
❖ ATR Bands and ATR Trade calculator.
The motivation for this calculator came from my own need to enter trades on volatile stocks where the simple 7% Stop Loss rule doest not work.
It simply calculates the number of shares you can buy at any moment based on current stock price and using the lower ATR band as a stop loss.
A few words about the ATR Bands.
On this indicator the ATR bands are not drawn as a classical channel that follows the price.
The lower band is drawn as a support until it’s broken on a closing basis. It can’t be in a down trend.
The upper band is drawn as a resistance until it’s broken on a closing basis. It can’t be in an up trend.
The idea is that when price starts to fall down from a peak, it should not violate its lower band ATR and that means that we can use that level as a Stop Loss.
You must look back for the stock volatility and find out which ATR multiplier works well meaning that the ATR bands are not violated on normal pullbacks. By default, the indicator uses 5x multiplier.
❖ Extra things, visual features and default settings.
The first square cell of current quarter displays a check mark ‘V’ if the CANSLIM criteria is OK or acceptable or a cross ‘X’ otherwise.
The first square cell of historical C and Rev show respectively the count of last consecutive positive quarters.
There are different color themes from “Forest” to “Space” you can chose from to best fit your eyes.
You also have different table sizes going from “Micro” to “Huge” for better adjustment to the size of your display.
The default settings view show: Pocket Pivots, FT Days, MA50, RS Line and ATR Bands.
That's all, Enjoy!
Adaptive Correlation Engine (ACE)🧠 Adaptive Correlation Engine (ACE)
Quantify inter-asset relationships with adaptive lag detection and actionable insights.
📌 What is ACE?
The Adaptive Correlation Engine (ACE) is a precision tool for seeking to uncover meaningful relationships between two assets — not just raw correlation, but also lag dynamics, leader detection, and alignment vs. divergence classification.
Unlike static correlation tools, ACE intelligently scans multiple lag windows to find:
✅ The maximum correlation between the base asset and a comparison symbol
⏱️ The optimal lag (if any) at which the correlation is strongest
🧭 Whether the assets are Aligned (positive correlation) or Divergent (inverse)
🔁 Which symbol is leading, and by how many bars
📈 Actionable signal strength based on a user-defined correlation threshold
⚙️ How It Works
Correlation Scan:
For each bar, ACE checks the correlation between the charted asset (close) and a lagged version of the comparison asset across a sliding window of lookback periods.
Lag Optimization:
The engine searches from lag 0 up to your specified Max Lag to find where the correlation (positive or negative) is most significant.
Relationship Classification:
The indicator classifies the relationship as:
Aligned: Positive correlation above the threshold
Divergent: Negative correlation above the threshold
Synchronous: No lag detected
Low Signal: Correlation is weak or noisy
Visual & Tabular Insights:
ACE plots the highest detected correlation on the chart and shows an insight table displaying:
- Correlation value
- Detected lag
- Direction type (aligned/divergent)
- Leading asset
- Suggested action (e.g., “Likely continuation” or “Possible mean reversion”)
💡 How to Use It
Use ACE to identify leadership patterns between assets (e.g., ETH leads altcoins, SPX leads crypto, etc.)
Spot potential lagging trade setups where one asset’s move may soon echo in another
Confirm or challenge correlation-based trading assumptions with data
Combine with technical indicators or price action to time entries and exits more confidently
🔔 Alerts
Built-in alerts notify you when correlation strength crosses your actionable threshold, classified by alignment or divergence.
🛠️ Inputs
Compare Symbol: The asset to compare against (e.g., INDEX:ETHUSD)
Correlation Lookback: Rolling window for calculating correlation
Max Lag Bars: Maximum lag shift to test
Minimum Actionable Correlation: Signal threshold for trade-worthy insights

Dynamic 5DMA/EMA with Color for Multiple Products🔹 Dynamic 5DMA/EMA with Slope-Based Coloring (All Timeframes)
This indicator plots a dynamic 5-period moving average that adapts intelligently to your chart's timeframe and product type — giving you a clean, slope-sensitive visual edge across intraday, daily, and weekly views.
✅ Key Features:
📈 Dynamic MA Length Scaling:
On intraday timeframes, the MA adjusts for your selected market session (RTH, ETH, VIX, or Futures), calculating a true 5-day average based on actual session length — not just a flat bar count.
🔄 Automatic Timeframe Detection:
Daily Chart: Uses standard 5DMA or 5EMA.
Weekly Chart: Applies a true 5-week MA.
Intraday Charts: Converts 5 days into bar-length equivalent dynamically.
🎨 Color-Coded Slope Logic:
Green = Rising MA (bullish slope)
Red = Falling MA (bearish slope)
Neutral slope = previous color held for visual continuity
No more guessing — direction is instantly clear.
⚠️ Built-In Slope Flip Alerts:
Set alerts when the slope of the MA turns up or down. Ideal for timing pullback entries or exits across any product.
⚙️ Session Settings for Proper Scaling:
Choose your product's market structure to ensure accurate 5-day conversion on intraday charts:
Stocks - RTH: 390 mins/day
Stocks - ETH: 780 mins/day
VIX: 855 mins/day
Futures: 1440 mins/day
This ensures the MA reflects 5 full trading days, regardless of session irregularities or bar interval.
📌 Why Use This Indicator?
Most MAs misrepresent trend direction on intraday charts because they assume static daily bar counts. This tool corrects that, then adds slope-based coloring to give you a fast, visual read on short-term momentum. Whether you’re swing trading SPY, scalping VIX, or position trading futures, this indicator keeps your view aligned with how institutions see moving averages across timeframes.
🔧 Best For:
VIX & volatility traders
Short-term SPY/SPX traders
Swing traders who value clean setups
Anyone wanting a true 5-day trend anchor on any chart

IV PercentileIV Percentile Indicator - Brief Description
What It Does
The IV Percentile Indicator measures where current implied volatility ranks compared to the past year, showing what percentage of time volatility was lower than today's level.
How It Works
Data Collection:
Tracks implied volatility (or historical volatility as proxy) for each trading day
Stores the last 252 days (1 year) of volatility readings
Uses VIX data for SPY/SPX, historical volatility for other stocks
Calculation:
IV Percentile = (Days with IV below current level) ÷ (Total days) × 100
Example: If IV Percentile = 75%, it means current volatility is higher than 75% of the past year's readings.
Visual Output
Main Display:
Blue line showing percentile (0-100%)
Reference lines at key levels (20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 80%)
Color-coded backgrounds for quick identification
Info table with current readings
Key Levels:
80%+ (Red): Very high IV → Sell premium
70-79% (Orange): High IV → Consider selling
30-20% (Green): Low IV → Consider buying
<20% (Bright Green): Very low IV → Buy premium
Trading Application
When IV Percentile is HIGH (70%+):
Options are expensive relative to recent history
Good time to sell premium (iron condors, credit spreads)
Expect volatility to decrease toward normal levels
When IV Percentile is LOW (30%-):
Options are cheap relative to recent history
Good time to buy premium (straddles, long options)
Expect volatility to increase from compressed levels
Core Logic
The indicator helps answer: "Is this a good time to buy or sell options based on how expensive/cheap they are compared to recent history?" It removes the guesswork from volatility timing by providing historical context for current option prices.
Reversal Signal avec TICK + RSIThis indicator is a potential reversal indicator for SCALPING, don't use it for swing. It's base on TICK and on an overbrought/oversold condition of the RSI. You can play with the setting, typicaly I like my TICK to be over reacting an 800/-800 and my rsi over 20 and 80, but it give not enough signal. So I set the TICK signal at 651/-651 and the RSI at 25/75. This indicator is made for SP500 and Nasdaq, so SPY/QQQ/SPX/ES/NQ should work well. It's the first version of it, so maybe I'll add so more data to it to increase signal and lower false one. For now I've test it on live market yet(26/7/25).
The RSI is Fast(5 period), I like to use it on the 1 or 5 min chart.
Please not that it only work during 9h30am to 4pm EST.(Because of the TICK)
Feel free to try and even comment. Don't be harsh on me, it's my first try!
(Sorry for my 'english' it's not my first language)

Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (O-PLS)Version 0.1
Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (O-PLS) Indicator for TradingView
This indicator, named "Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (O-PLS)", is designed to help traders understand the relevance or predictive power of various market variables on the future close price of the asset it's applied to. Unlike standard correlation coefficients that show a simple linear relationship, O-PLS aims to separate variables into "predictive" (relevant to Y) and "orthogonal" (irrelevant noise) components. This Pine Script indicator provides a simplified proxy of the relevance score derived from O-PLS principles.
Purpose of the Indicator
The primary purpose of this indicator is to identify which technical factors (such as price, volume, and other indicators) have the strongest relationship with the future price movement of the current trading instrument. By providing a "relevance score" for each input variable, it helps traders focus on the most influential data points, potentially leading to more informed trading decisions.
Inputs
The indicator offers the following user-definable inputs:
* **Lookback Period:** This integer input (default: 100, min: 10, max: 500) determines the number of past bars used to calculate the relevance scores for each variable. A longer lookback period considers more historical data, which can lead to smoother, less reactive scores but might miss recent shifts in variable importance.
* **External Asset Symbol:** This symbol input (default: `BINANCE:BTCUSDT`) allows you to specify an external asset (e.g., `BINANCE:ETHUSDT`, `NASDAQ:TSLA`) whose close price will be included in the analysis as an additional variable. This is useful for cross-market analysis to see how other assets influence the current chart.
* **Plot Visibility Checkboxes (e.g., "Plot: Open Price Relevance", "Plot: Volume Relevance", etc.):** These boolean checkboxes allow you to toggle the visibility of individual relevance score plots on the chart, helping to declutter the display and focus on specific variables.
Outputs
The indicator provides two main types of output:
Relevance Score Plots: These are lines plotted in a separate pane below the main price chart. Each line corresponds to a specific market variable (Open Price, Close Price, High Price, Low Price, Volume, various RSIs, SMAs, MFI, and the External Asset Close). The value of each line represents the calculated "relevance score" for that variable, typically scaled between 0 and 10. A higher score indicates a stronger predictive relationship with the future close price.
Sorted Relevance Table : A table displayed in the top-right corner of the chart provides a clear, sorted list of all analyzed variables and their corresponding relevance scores. The table is sorted in descending order of relevance, making it easy to identify the most influential factors at a glance. Each variable name in the table is colored according to its plot color, and the external asset's name is dynamically displayed without the "BINANCE:" prefix.
How to Use the Indicator
1. **Add to Chart:** Apply the "Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (O-PLS)" indicator to your desired trading chart (e.g., ETH/USDT).
2. **Adjust Inputs:**
* **Lookback Period:** Experiment with different lookback periods to see how the relevance scores change. A shorter period might highlight recent correlations, while a longer one might show more fundamental relationships.
* **External Asset Symbol:** If you trade BTC/USDT, you might add ETH/USDT or SPX as an external asset to see its influence.
3. **Analyze Relevance Scores:**
* **Plots:** Observe the individual relevance score plots over time. Are certain variables consistently high? Do scores change before significant price moves?
* **Table:** Refer to the sorted table on the latest confirmed bar to quickly identify the top-ranked variables.
4. **Incorporate into Strategy:** Use the insights from the relevance scores to:
* Prioritize certain indicators or price actions in your trading strategy. For example, if "Volume" has a high relevance score, it suggests volume confirmation is critical for future price moves.
* Understand the influence of inter-market relationships (via the External Asset Close).
How the Indicator Works
The indicator works by performing the following steps on each bar:
1. **Data Fetching:** It gathers historical data for various price components (open, high, low, close), volume, and calculated technical indicators (SMA, RSI, MFI) for the specified `lookback` period. It also fetches the close price of an `External Asset Symbol` .
2. **Standardization (Z-scoring):** All collected raw data series are standardized by converting them into Z-scores. This involves subtracting the mean of each series and dividing by its standard deviation . Standardization is crucial because it brings all variables to a common scale, preventing variables with larger absolute values from disproportionately influencing the correlation calculations.
3. **Correlation Calculation (Proxy for O-PLS Relevance):** The indicator then calculates a simplified form of correlation between each standardized input variable and the standardized future close price (Y variable) . This correlation is a proxy for the relevance that O-PLS would identify. A high absolute correlation indicates a strong linear relationship.
4. **Relevance Scaling:** The calculated correlation values are then scaled to a range of 0 to 10 to provide an easily interpretable "relevance score" .
5. **Output Display:** The relevance scores are presented both as time-series plots (allowing observation of changes over time) and in a real-time sorted table (for quick identification of top factors on the current bar) .
How it Differs from Full O-PLS
This indicator provides a *simplified proxy* of O-PLS principles rather than a full, mathematically rigorous O-PLS model. Here's why and how it differs:
* **Dimensionality Reduction:** A full O-PLS model would involve complex matrix factorization techniques to decompose the independent variables (X) into components that are predictive of Y and components that are orthogonal (unrelated) to Y but still describe X's variance. Pine Script's array capabilities and computational limits make direct implementation of these matrix operations challenging.
* **Orthogonal Components:** A true O-PLS model explicitly identifies and removes orthogonal components (noise) from the X data that are unrelated to Y. This indicator, in its simplified form, primarily focuses on the direct correlation (relevance) between each X variable and Y after standardization, without explicitly modeling and separating these orthogonal variations.
* **Predictive Model:** A full O-PLS model is ultimately a predictive model that can be used for regression (predicting Y). This indicator, however, focuses solely on **identifying the relevance/correlation of inputs to Y**, rather than building a predictive model for Y itself. It's more of an analytical tool for feature importance than a direct prediction engine.
* **Computational Intensity:** Full O-PLS involves Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) or Partial Least Squares (PLS) algorithms, which are computationally intensive. The indicator uses simpler statistical measures (mean, standard deviation, and direct correlation calculation over a lookback window) that are feasible within Pine Script's execution limits.
In essence, this Pine Script indicator serves as a practical tool for gaining insights into variable relevance, inspired by the spirit of O-PLS, but adapted for the constraints and common use cases of a TradingView environment.

Fear and Greed Index [DunesIsland]The Fear and Greed Index is a sentiment indicator designed to measure the emotions driving the stock market, specifically investor fear and greed. Fear represents pessimism and caution, while greed reflects optimism and risk-taking. This indicator aggregates multiple market metrics to provide a comprehensive view of market sentiment, helping traders and investors gauge whether the market is overly fearful or excessively greedy.How It WorksThe Fear and Greed Index is calculated using four key market indicators, each capturing a different aspect of market sentiment:
Market Momentum (30% weight)
Measures how the S&P 500 (SPX) is performing relative to its 125-day simple moving average (SMA).
A higher value indicates that the market is trading well above its moving average, signaling greed.
Stock Price Strength (20% weight)
Calculates the net number of stocks hitting 52-week highs minus those hitting 52-week lows on the NYSE.
A greater number of net highs suggests strong market breadth and greed.
Put/Call Options (30% weight)
Uses the 5-day average of the put/call ratio.
A lower ratio (more call options being bought) indicates greed, as investors are betting on rising prices.
Market Volatility (20% weight)
Utilizes the VIX index, which measures market volatility.
Lower volatility is associated with greed, as investors are less fearful of large market swings.
Each component is normalized using a z-score over a 252-day lookback period (approximately one trading year) and scaled to a range of 0 to 100. The final Fear and Greed Index is a weighted average of these four components, with the weights specified above.Key FeaturesIndex Range: The index value ranges from 0 to 100:
0–25: Extreme Fear (red)
25–50: Fear (orange)
50–75: Neutral (yellow)
75–100: Greed (green)
Dynamic Plot Color: The plot line changes color based on the index value, visually indicating the current sentiment zone.
Reference Lines: Horizontal lines are plotted at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 to represent the different sentiment levels: Extreme Fear, Fear, Neutral, Greed, and Extreme Greed.
How to Interpret
Low Values (0–25): Indicate extreme fear, which may suggest that the market is oversold and could be due for a rebound.
High Values (75–100): Indicate greed, which may signal that the market is overbought and could be at risk of a correction.
Neutral Range (25–75): Suggests a balanced market sentiment, neither overly fearful nor greedy.
This indicator is a valuable tool for contrarian investors, as extreme readings often precede market reversals. However, it should be used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools for a well-rounded view of the market.
Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA OverlayThe "Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA Overlay" is a custom technical indicator designed to identify intermediate-term overbought and oversold conditions in the stock market, inspired by Edson Gould's original DTB methodology. This indicator combines three key components:
A 7-day advance-decline oscillator, a 20-day volume oscillator, and a 28-day DJIA price ratio, normalized into a composite index scaled around 110–135. Values below 110 signal potential oversold conditions, while values above 135 indicate overbought territory, aiding in timing market reversals.
The overlay of a normalized DJIA plot allows for visual correlation with the broader market trend. Use this tool to anticipate turning points in oscillating markets, though it’s best combined with other indicators for confirmation. Ideal for traders seeking probabilistic insights into bear or bull market transitions.
How to use -
If the DTB line (blue) and normalized DJIA (orange) are under the green dashed line, high probability for a long and reversal.

QQQ Strategy v2 ESL | easy-peasy-x This is a strategy optimized for QQQ (and SPY) for the 1H timeframe. It significantly outperforms passive buy-and-hold approach. With settings adjustments, it can be used on various assets like stocks and cryptos and various timeframes, although the default out of the box settings favor QQQ 1H.
The strategy uses various triggers to take both long and short trades. These can be adjusted in settings. If you try a different asset, see what combination of triggers works best for you.
Some of the triggers employ LuxAlgo's Ultimate RSI - shoutout to him for great script, check it out here .
Other triggers are based on custom signed standard deviation - basically the idea is to trade Bollinger Bands expansions (long to the upside, short to the downside) and fade or stay out of contractions.
There are three key moving averages in the strategy - LONG MA, SHORT MA, BASIC MA. Long and Short MAs are guides to eyes on the chart and also act as possible trend filters (adjustable in settings). Basic MA acts as guide to eye and a possible trade trigger (adjustable in settings).
There are a few trend filters the strategy can use - moving average, signed standard deviation, ultimate RSI or none. The filters act as an additional condition on triggers, making the strategy take trades only if both triggers and trend filter allows. That way one can filter out trades with unfavorable risk/reward (for instance, don't long if price is under the MA200). Different trade filters can be used for long and short trades.
The strategy employs various stop loss types, the default of which is a trailing %-based stop loss type. ATR-based stop loss is also available. The default 1.5% trailing stop loss is suitable for leveraged trading.
Lastly, the strategy can trigger take profit orders if certain conditions are met, adjustable in settings. Also, it can hold onto winning trades and exit only after stop out (in which case, consecutive triggers to take other positions will be ignored until stop out).
Let me know if you like it and if you use it, what kind of tweaks would you like to see.

S&P 500 & Normalized CAPE Z-Score AnalyzerThis macro-focused indicator visualizes the historical valuation of the U.S. equity market using the CAPE ratio (Shiller P/E), normalized over its long-term average and standard deviations. It helps traders and investors identify overvaluation and undervaluation zones over time, combining both statistical signals and historical context.
💡 Why It’s Useful
This indicator is ideal for macro traders and long-term investors looking to contextualize equity valuations across decades. It helps identify statistical extremes in valuation by referencing the standard deviation of the CAPE ratio relative to its long-term mean. The overlay of S&P 500 price with valuation zones provides a visual confirmation tool for macro decisions or timing insights.
It includes:
✅ Three display modes:
-S&P 500 (color-coded by CAPE valuation zone)
-Normalized CAPE (vs. long-term mean)
-CAPE Z-Score (standardized measure)
🎯 How to Interpret
Dynamic coloring of the S&P 500 price based on CAPE valuation:
🔴 Z > +2σ → Highly Overvalued
🟠 Z > +1σ → Overvalued
⚪ -1σ < Z < +1σ → Neutral
🟢 Z < -1σ → Undervalued
✅ Z < -2σ → Strong Buy Zone
-Live valuation label showing the current CAPE, Z-score, and zone.
-Macro event shading: major historical events (e.g. Great Depression, Oil Crisis, Dot-com Bubble, COVID Crash) are shaded on the chart for context.
✅ Built-in alerts:
CAPE > +2σ → Potential risk zone
CAPE < -2σ → Potential opportunity zone
📊 Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for:
🧠 Macro traders seeking long-term valuation extremes.
📈 Portfolio managers monitoring systemic valuation risk.
🏛️ Long-term investors timing strategic allocation shifts.
🧪 How It Works
CAPE ratio (Shiller PE) is retrieved from Quandl (MULTPL/SHILLER_PE_RATIO_MONTH).
The script calculates the long-term average and standard deviation of CAPE.
The Z-score is computed as:
(CAPE - Mean) / Standard Deviation
Users can switch between:
S&P 500 chart, color-coded by CAPE valuation zones.
Normalized CAPE, centered around zero (historic mean).
CAPE Z-score, showing statistical positioning directly.
Visual bands represent +1σ, +2σ, -1σ, -2σ thresholds.
You can switch between modes using the “Display” dropdown in the settings panel.
📊 Data Sources

SOFR Spread (proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY)📊 SOFR Spread (Proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY) – Monitoring USD Money Market Liquidity
In 2008, the spread exhibits a sharp vertical spike, signaling a severe liquidity dislocation: investors rushed into short-term U.S. Treasuries, pushing their yields down dramatically, while the FEDFUNDS rate remained relatively high.
This behavior indicates extreme systemic stress in the interbank lending market, preceding massive Federal Reserve interventions such as rate cuts, emergency liquidity operations, and the launch of quantitative easing (QE).
Description:
This indicator plots the spread between the Effective Federal Funds Rate (FEDFUNDS) and the 3-Month US Treasury Bill yield (US03MY), used here as a proxy for the SOFR spread.
It serves as a simple yet powerful tool to detect liquidity dislocations and stress signals in the US short-term funding markets.
Interpretation:
🔴 Spread > 0.20% → Possible liquidity stress: elevated repo rates, cash shortage, interbank distrust.
🟡 Spread ≈ 0% → Normal market conditions, balanced liquidity.
🟢 Spread < 0% → Excess liquidity: strong demand for T-Bills, “flight to safety”, or distortion due to expansionary monetary policy.
Ideal for:
Monitoring Fed policy impact
Anticipating market-wide liquidity squeezes
Correlation with DXY, SPX, VIX, MOVE Index, and risk sentiment
🧠 Note: As SOFR is not directly available on TradingView, FEDFUNDS is used as a reliable proxy, closely tracking the same trends in most macro conditions.
Index Futures vs Cash ArbitrageThis indicator measures the statistical spread between major stock index futures and their corresponding cash indices (e.g., ES vs SPX, NQ vs NDX) using Z-score normalization. It automatically detects commonly traded index pairs (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, Russell 2000) and calculates a smoothed spread between futures and spot prices. A Z-score is then derived from this spread to highlight potential overpricing or underpricing conditions.
Traders can use customizable thresholds to identify mean-reversion opportunities where the futures contract may be temporarily overvalued or undervalued relative to the index. The histogram highlights the direction of the Z-score (green = futures > index, red = futures < index), while built-in alerts notify users of key threshold breaches or zero-line crosses.
This tool is designed for discretionary traders, pairs traders, or anyone exploring statistical arbitrage strategies between futures and spot markets. It is not a buy/sell signal by itself and should be used with additional confluence or risk management techniques.
Divergence Macro Sentiment Indicator (DMSI)The Divergence Macro Sentiment Indicator (DMSI)
Think of DMSI as your daily “mood ring” for the markets. It boils down the tug-of-war between growth assets (S&P 500, copper, oil) and safe havens (gold, VIX) into one clear histogram—so you instantly know if the bulls have broad backing or are charging ahead with one foot tied behind.
🔍 What You’re Seeing
Green bars (above zero): Risk-on conviction.
Equities and commodities are rallying while gold and volatility retreat.
Red bars (below zero): Risk-off caution.
Gold or VIX are climbing even as stocks rise—or stocks aren’t fully joined by oil/copper.
Zero line: The line in the sand between “full-steam ahead” and “proceed with care.”
📈 How to Read It
Cross-Zero Signals
Bullish trigger: DMSI flips up through zero after a red stretch → fresh long entries.
Bearish trigger: DMSI tumbles below zero from green territory → tighten stops or go defensive.
Divergence Warnings
If SPX makes new highs but DMSI is rolling over (lower green bars or red), that’s your early red flag—rallies may fizzle.
Strength Confirmation
On pullbacks, only buy dips when DMSI ≥ 0. When DMSI is deeply positive, you can be more aggressive on position size or add leverage.
💡 Trade Guidance & Use Cases
Trend Filter: Only take your S&P or sector-ETF long setups when DMSI is non-negative—avoids hollow rallies.
Macro Pair Trades:
Deep red DMSI: go long gold or gold miners (GLD, GDX).
Strong green DMSI: lean into cyclicals, industrials, even energy names.
Risk Management:
Scale out as DMSI fades into negative territory mid-trade.
Scale in or add to winners when it stays bullish.
Swing Confirmation: Overlay on any oscillator or price-pattern system—accept signals only when the macro tide is flowing in your favour.
🚀 Why It Works
Markets don’t move in a vacuum. When stocks rally but the “real-economy” metals and volatility aren’t cooperating, something’s off under the hood. DMSI catches those cross-asset cracks before price alone can—and gives you an early warning system for smarter entries, tighter risk, and bigger gains when the macro trend really kicks in.
UM Dual MA with Price Bar Color change & Fill
Description
This is a dual moving average indicator with colored bars and moving averages. I wrote this indicator to keep myself on the right side of the market and trends. It plots two moving averages, (length and type of MA are user-defined) and colors the MAs green when trending higher or red when trending lower. The price bars are green when both MAs are green, red when both MAs are red, and orange when one MA is green and the other is red. The idea behind the indicator is to be extremely visual. If I am buying a red bar, I ask myself "why?" If I am selling a green bar, again, "why?"
Recommended Usage
Configure your tow favorite Moving averages. Consider long positions when one or both turn green. Scale into a position with a portion upon the first MA turning green, and then more when the second turns green. Consider scaling out when the bars are orange after an up move.
Orange bars are either areas of consolidation or prior to major turns.
You can also look for MA crossovers.
The indicator works on any timeframe and any security. I use it on daily, hourly, 2 day charts.
Default settings
The defaults are the author's preferred settings:
- 8 period WMA and 16 period WMA.
- Bars are green when both MAs are trending higher, red when both MAs are trending lower, and orange when one MA is trending higher and the other is trending lower.
Moving average types, lengths, and colors are user-configurable. Bar colors are also user-configurable.
Alerts
Alerts can be set by right-clicking the indicator and selecting the dropdown:
- Bullish Trend Both MAs turning green
- Bearish Trend Both MAs turning red
- Mixed Trend, 1 green 1 red MA
Helpful Hints:
Look for bullish areas when both MAs turn green after a sustained downtrend
Look for bearish areas when both MAs turn red
Careful in areas of orange bars, this could be a consolidation or a warning to a potential trend direction change.
Switch up your timeframes, I toggle back and forth between 1 and 2 days.
Stretch your timeframe over a lower time frame; for example, I like the 8 and 16 daily WMA. With most securities I get 16 bars with pre and post market. This translates into 128 and 256 MAs on the hourly chart. This slows down moves and color transitions for better manageability.
Author's Subjective Observations
I like the 128/256 WMA on the hourly charts for leveraged and inverse ETFs such as SPXL/SPXS, TQQQ/SQQQ, TNA/TZA. Or even the volatility ETFs/ETNS: UVXY, VXX.
Here is a one-hour chart example:
I have noticed that as volatility increases, I should begin looking at higher timeframes. This seems counterintuitive, but higher volatility increases the level of noise or swings.
I question myself when I short a green bar or buy a red bar; "Why am I doing this?" The colors help me visually stay on the right side of trend. If I am going to speculate on a market turn, at least do it when the bars are orange (MA trends differ)
My last observation is a 2-day chart of leveraged ETFs with the 8 and 16 WMAs. I frequently trade SPXL, FNGA, and TNA. If you are really dissecting this indicator,
look at a few 2-day charts. 2-day charts seem to catch the major swings nicely up and down. They also weed out the daily sudden big swings such as a panic move from economic data
or tweets. When both the MAs turn red on a 2-day chart the same day or same bar, beware; this could be a rough ride or short opportunity. I found weekly charts too long for my style but good
to review for direction. Less decisions on longer charts equate to less brain damage for myself.
These are just my thoughts, of course you do you and what suits your style best! Happy Trading.
