Portfolio HeatThe "Portfolio Heat" indicator offers a visual representation of potential risk exposure for a portfolio across up to eight different symbols. It dynamically calculates three risk metrics based on current price, the number of shares owned, your designated stop loss, and total account size.
Open Dollar Risk – the total dollar amount you will lose if your stop loss is hit.
Open % of Portfolio Risk – the risk as a percentage of your total account size.
Starting Capital Risk – the dollar amount risked based on the difference between the entry price and stop price.
These metrics adjust in real-time, allowing you to monitor and manage risk more effectively.
Open portfolio heat refers to how much you would lose if all your currently held stock positions hit their stop-losses, whether those stop-losses are below what you paid for them - referred to as your “cost basis” - at your cost basis (breakeven) or above your cost basis (in the money). Admittedly, it’s a pretty bad day when all your stops are hit at once, but as traders we need to prepare for the worst. To visualize what “open heat” looks like on a single stock position, please note the chart below:
In the example above you can see that if you were to purchase 100 shares of this stock at a cost-basis of $18/share, and your stop-loss is placed at $15, if the current price of the stock is at $20 and the stock price drops to hit your stop-loss, it would result in a $500 total drawdown in your portfolio. Keep in mind this is just one stock position. Hypothetically, if you were even holding two stocks that had the above open heat, with a $10,000 account size, you could experience a 10% drawdown quite fast if the market corrects.
The “Portfolio Heat” indicator is fully customizable allowing traders to select the number of positions in the portfolio, colors and a detailed or a summary view of risk.
Note if entering a short position, you will enter the number of shares owned as a negative number.
Exposure
Indicator Based Market Exposure (IBME)The Indicator Based Market Exposure (IBME) system was created by Big Wave Chartist as a way to navigate the markets using a confluence of three different signals to determine when the "internals" of the market are in your favor and how heavily invested to be at any point. The idea of the system is also to flash warning signs when the market internals are beginning to deteriorate so as to take a defensive stance. Of course this system can be strictly adhered to, or it can be incorporated into a more discretionary style of trading, and be combined with progressive exposure into (and out of) the market as positions gain (or lose) traction.
The IBME displays a straightforward action signal based on the combination of the 3 separate signals:
Green 🟢 Full size-longs permitted
Yellow 🟡 Pilot positions permitted
Red 🔴 No longs allowed
So let's get into the signals used:
McClellan Summation Index
Net New Highs/Lows
Net New Highs Crossover
McClellan Summation Index (MSI)
The McClellan Summation Index is a long-term version of the McClellan Oscillator, which is a market breadth indicator based on stock advances and declines. Interpretation is similar to that of the McClellan Oscillator, except that it is more suited to intermediate to major trends and related reversals. The McClellan Summation Index can be calculated as the sum of all the daily values of the McClellan Oscillator. This is used along with the 10-sma to watch for a crossover indicating an uptrend or downtrend beginning.
Net New Highs/Lows
This is the net number of stocks making 52-week highs or lows. For instance, if there are 60 new 52-week highs and 20 new 52-week lows, the net number will be 40 net new 52 week highs. This signal is particularly useful in gauging breadth.
Net New Highs Crossover
This is the description of NNHC from the original separate version of this indicator created by HikoStory: "Net New Highs can guide you to increase or decrease your exposure based on the current market health. They are calculated by subtracting the new highs from the new lows, based on all stocks of the...NASDAQ. A positive value shows that the market is doing good, since more stocks are making new highs compared to new lows. A negative value shows that the market is doing bad, since more stocks are making new lows compared to new highs. Combined with a moving average you can see crossovers that can warn you early when there is a change in the current market health."
The default index for the IBME is the Nasdaq.
The IBME is meant to be used on a daily time frame chart, therefore the signal will only show on a daily time frame chart.

Market Navigator OscillatorSimilar to the Market Navigator, the Market Navigator Oscillator turns the methodology taught in Market School by Investors Business Daily into an easy-to-use indicator, but in a more condensed form. The Market Navigator Oscillator plots all of the same information as the original Market Navigator, but keeps your main chart clear. This system follows a strict set of rules to help gauge when it's time to increase market exposure or back away.
The indicator considers 24 different buy and sell signals, as well as portfolio management rules, to keep you on the right side of the market with no guesswork.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on different criteria, including the relationship between price and key moving averages, volume, and time. Each signal is assigned a point value, which is then added (buy signal) or subtracted (sell signal) to the running exposure count when the signal occurs. This exposure count is then used to give a recommended maximum exposure level.
The Market Navigator Oscillator also identifies certain instances when being more aggressive is called for, known as a Power Trend. A Power Trend is triggered within the context of an uptrend that meets a certain criterion of price, length, and moving average relationship.
This indicator is a must-have for any trader looking to take the guesswork out of their trading by automating recommended exposure levels and being in step with the market.
Principles covered include:
Recommended maximum portfolio exposure
Buy switch / restraint rules
Follow through / distribution days
Power Trend
Dynamic Day 1
When you first put the indicator on your chart, it will ask you to select Day 1 of the current rally attempt. A Day 1 is defined as either:
The first positive day in a down trending market
A down day where the index closes in the upper half of the daily range

[TTI] Minervini STEM Model📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS 🏦
Introducing the Minervini STEM Model, an innovative indicator developed by Mark Minervini, an experienced trader and author renowned for his expertise in gauging the quality of breakouts. The Stock Tactical Environment Model (STEM) is designed to assess the trading environment based on the performance and setup of stocks, helping traders navigate various market conditions with ease.
🎯 ––––WHAT IT DOES 💡
The Minervini STEM Model measures the quality of breakouts in the stock market and provides valuable insights into the trading environment. The model is subjective based on the performance of the Mark Minervini Focus List on a 5 day rolling basis.
• What is the Mark Minervini Focus List?
- This is a private weekly watchlist of all the best setups provided by Mark Minervini in his Private Access Group
• How is the quality of breakouts measured?
- This is the subjective part of the indicator. A good breakout is one that has definite clear of a pivot, with a good close and strong volume. From then on there are strong follow through buys (consecutive up days with new highs) again with good (above average) volume signatures. When stocks start moving in earnest and together and breakouts happen with quality technical characteristics and keep on holding the new highs, then we have a good quality breakouts, otherwise if there are 'pop and drops' (breakout met with subsequent selling on the next days) - we have a bad quality breakouts.
• What is the 5 day rolling basis?
- As part of the methodology, I have included, how are the watchlist (Focus List) is performing on subsequent on the next 5 days. This means if we have 10 stocks on Friday, how many did close up in the following 5 days, do we have improvement compared to the previous week and the week before that, is there an overall trend of stocks gaining value or not. This also measures the quality of the bearjouts
🚨IMPORTANT! The model is largely subjective based on the various factors. Largely, I look at Mark Minervini's focus list and determine how it is performing on a 5 day rolling basis. Depending on how many of the Focus List stocks are closing down for the 5 day period (e.g. less than 60%) and how are all cumulatively performing, I adjust the model. It generates three distinct color-coded signals to indicate the effectiveness of breakouts and the overall market condition:
Color meanings
🟩Green: Breakouts are working well, indicating an easy dollar environment.
🟨Orange: The market is selective or highly rotational, signalling a need for caution.
🟥Red: Breakouts are not working well, suggesting a hard penny environment and high risk.
This color-coded system allows traders to quickly assess the market's health and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
🛠️ ––––HOW TO USE IT 🔧
To effectively use the Minervini STEM Model, follow these steps:
1.Load the Minervini STEM Model script into your preferred charting platform.
2.Observe the color-coded signals displayed on your chart.
Interpret the signals as follows:
🟩Green: Breakouts are working well. Consider aggressive trading and increasing exposure.
🟨Orange: The market is selective or highly rotational. Exercise caution when trading and be selective with your stock setups.
🟥Red: Breakouts are not working well, and risk is high. Adopt maximum caution and consider reducing exposure or staying small until you gain traction.
By incorporating the Minervini STEM Model into your trading strategy, you can better gauge the quality of breakouts and the overall market condition, enabling you to make informed decisions on your trades. Remember to use this tool in conjunction with other technical indicators and risk management practices to optimize your success.
NNFX Exposure UtilityOVERVIEW
This tool allows the user to manually keep track of how much of their account is currently exposed to each currency, and keep that information handy and organized on the chart as a table.
It is specialized for NNFX traders who are trading all the pairs among the 9 major currency crosses: AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, JPY, NZD, SGD, USD.
HOW DO I USE THIS INDICATOR?
Before you take a trade, you should open the indicator settings for this indicator and check off which currencies you are about to go long and short on. Here are 3 trades taken as examples:
If you go long on EUR/USD with 2% risk, your exposure is 2% long on EUR and 2% short on USD.
Then if you go short on GBP/SGD with 2% risk, your exposure is 2% short on GBP and 2% long on SGD.
But if you go long on SGD/JPY with 2% risk, your exposure would now be 4% long on SGD and 2% short on JPY. This is against your rules if you are trading the NNFX way. So this tool allows you to see when you are about to accidentally overexpose yourself to any currency pair.
Net New Highs CrossoverA lot of traders have a hard time to get in and out of the market at the right time.
Net New Highs of stocks can guide you to increase or decrease your exposure based on the current market health.
They are calculated by subtracting the new highs of the new lows, based on all stocks of the NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX.
+ A positive value shows that the market is doing good, since more stocks are making new highs compared to new lows.
- A negative value shows that the market is doing bad, since more stocks are making new lows compared to new highs.
Combined with a moving average you can see crossovers that can warn you early when there is a change in the current market health.
Features
■ You can select different Net New High indices or combine them (NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX)
■ You can specify a moving average line ( SMA / EMA and length)
■ Use single color or two colors for the moving average line to better spot the crossovers
Hints
*New highs and new lows index values currently only get updated at the end of the day
*Only works on daily timeframe
PrimeTrading ExposureThis indicator helps traders staying on the right side of the market and increasing their portfolio exposure as the market health improves.
Nothing kills more accounts than trying to pick a bottom by loading positions below all kma’s. What if the market rollover? Then you take a major hit on your p&l.
The goal is to increase your maximum allowable exposure as the market confirms his way above key moving averages (kma’s).
Market based maximum exposure PT rules:
■ Price < 50dma & Price > 5dma = 20%
■ Price < 50dma & Price > 21dma = 40%
■ Price > 50dma = 60%
■ Price > 50dma & Price > 21dma = 80%
■ Price > 50dma & Price > 21dma & Price > 10dma = 100%
Features
■ You can select the indices reference you prefer to calculate the max exposure ( IWM , QQQ , SPY )
■ You can see the price extension for kma’s (5,10,21,50 dma)
■ Use the current symbol or lock on your preferred reference indices
