7 Week RuleThe 7 week rule was shared by Gil Morales in his book “Trade Like an O’Neil Disciple”. The rule is described as: Stocks that have shown a tendency to “obey” or “respect” the 10-day moving average for at least 7 weeks in an uptrend should often be sold once the stock violates the 10-day line. A “violation” is defined as a close below the 10-day moving average followed by a move on the next day below the intraday low of the first day.
This indicator makes using the 7 week rule easy. Once a stock has closed above its selected moving average (10SMA by default) for 35 days the 7 week rule is triggered. Once the stock then “violates” the moving average, a sell signal is printed on the chart.

Volume With ColorVolume with color helps to quickly identify accumulation or distribution.
An accumulation day is an up day with volume greater than a user selected average.
A distribution day is a down day with volume greater than a user selected average.
This indicator will highlight those days by changing the volume bar colors for an easy visual.
Pocket Pivots and standard SMA/EMA'sThis script shows Pocket Pivots, up-days with higher volume than the last 9 down-days, directly on the chart below current and historic candles. Pocket pivots can be used to find early entry points within a base since it marks institutional buying. Pocket pivots are marked as black dots below the candle for easier identification.
The script is largely based on Gil Morales and Chris Kacher's method from their books "Trade Like an O'Neil Disciple" and "In The Trading Cockpit with the O'Neil Disciples". Other than pocket pivots, this script also includes the most common Simple and Exponential Moving Averages, and support/resistance lines as well as 3-weeks tight markup on the weekly chart.
This script contains:
- Pocket Pivots, black dots below the candles on all timeframes (Pocket Pivot = an up-day with greater volume than the last 9 down-days)
- Caution marks, red dots below the candles on all timeframes (Caution mark = close below the 10EMA)
- Simple moving averages
- Exponential moving averages
- Support/resistance lines
- 3-weeks tight markup on the weekly chart
