[TTI] IBD Base Analysis (WEEKLY)📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
This indicator, titled " IBD Base Analysis (WEEKLY)," is an original creation by TinTinTrading. It synthesises multiple metrics and visual cues to provide a comprehensive overview of market bases on a weekly timeframe. It is based on the teachings of Investors Business Daily (IBD) and William O'Neil. Mainly from attending all IBD Seminars, Courses and part of man IBD MeetUps. I have compiled most criteria and made it into indicator.
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
What sets this indicator apart is its multi-faceted approach to base analysis. It doesn't just measure base depth or length, or plot a base structure with target (Cup with Handle, Double Bottoms, Flat Bases or other);
The IBD Base Analysis (WEEKLY) allows the user to pick the beginning and end of base and then runs through the criteria for a HEALTHY vs FAULTY Bases. The script is intended for a Weekly timeframe and is base agnostic - hence it can be used on any base pattern you want to analyse. By using the script you will be able to grab a quick visual if there are any faulty characteristics that you have be aware of. Furthermore, its user-friendly interface, complete with customisable color-coding and toggle-able advanced metrics, makes it a great tool for both novice and expert traders to incorporate into their trading.
🛠️ ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
👉 Analysis Table with customisable position. Each cell has additional information when you hover over it with a mouse to show what is required and what is faulty. The cells are color coordinated by user customisable color-coding. If the cell is green then it is bullish. If it is orange then it is soft violating condition and if it is red it is bearish.
Depth: First we look at the Depth of the base expressed in percent
Length: How many weeks long is the base
Number of Weeks under Accumulation (Acc Wks)
Number of Weeks under Distribution (Distrb Wks)
Number of Weeks showing Supporting action
Number of weeks which show wide and loose action (unfavorable), "10% WKs)
Number of weeks we close above the mid point
Grading of the close within the first 3 weeks after bottoming
Counting the Gap ups vs Gap down for the given period
👉 Base plots
+ plot under weeks where we have a tight action compared to previous week - this is considered favorable
▲ plot under down weeks where we show supporting action
⏺ appear under the 3 most important weeks in the base: The Week at the bottom, The week with the Largest Spread and the Week with the Largest Volume. Green means bullish action, Orange means soft violation. The tooltips on the circles show the Closing Range of the week.
- midpoint (in blue), this draws the midpoint within the base.
👉 18 month line - According to IBD the True Market Leaders Breakout and run for on average of 18 months before topping. For this reason I have included a customizable on/off line that plots 18 months back. What I want to see is if the stock has been in a strong uptrend (Stage 2 accumulation for those knowing the Stan Weinstein methodology) for the last18 months. If yes, you ought to consider the base higher risk than one that is just starting its move.
💡 ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
Add the indicator to your chart
Determine the beginning and the end of the base (use the settings in the indicator or drag the verical blue lines)
Read the price action based on the coloring and the criteria explained in the tooltips. Additionally familiarize yourself with the general tips for reading a base below.
💡 ––––GENERAL TIPS FOR READING THE ANALYSIS TABLE––––
Depth: IBD recommends bases to be under 30%. However, during a strong bear market some stocks can exhibit 1.5-2x the volatility. Yet, it is key within the IBD methodology to buy breakouts from proper Non-deep bases
Length: Many newer traders misinterpret small patterns for bases. This common misunderstanding is addressed by calculating the length of the base and determining if it is developed or immature.
Number of Weeks under Accumulation (Acc Wks): This is the first thing the late Market Wizard William O'neill looks into the base. How many weeks are showing signs of accumualtion and how many are showing signs of distribution (the cell below). Always look for Accumulation weeks to be more than distribution weeks.
Number of Weeks under Distribution (Dist Wks): See above
Number of Weeks showing Supporting action: New traders determine down week as bearish. However, within the methodology and extensive research IBD has given criteria of down weeks that are actually a bullish sign. Counting the number of weeks within the base that meet this criteria gives us this metric.
Number of weeks which show wide and loose action: If the base is not compact but it is wide and loose it is considered an unfavorable pattern. Generally, occurs within Stage 3 of a stock topping.
Wks > Mid: Utilizes a simple 'hack' of base reading. How many weeks have closed above the mid level of the base and how many have closed below the mid level of the base.
Grading of the close within the first 3 weeks of the bottom: The next cell looks at the price action subsequent of the 3 weeks after the bottom. These are very important as they show if accumulation is happening (strengthening the breakout hypothesis) or if it is not.
Counting the Gap ups vs Gap down for the given period: Lastly gaps are key footprint of institutional moves. We look for the number of DAILY gaps on the WEEKLY timeframe and compare the daily gap up vs the daily gap downs within the base.
REMEMBER, ALL TRADING INCLUDES RISK. NEVER RELY SOLELY ON A SINGLE INDICATOR. INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR BROADER TRADING METHODOLOGY AS A COMPLEMENTING SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

[TTI] Closing Range Indicator📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
This Pine Script Utility indicator, titled " Closing Range Indicator," is designed and developed by TintinTrading but inspired by the teaching of Investor's Business Daily (IBD) and William O'Neil. It aims to help traders identify the closing range of a given timeframe, either daily or weekly.
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
The unique feature of this indicator lies in its ability to simulate a functionality of Closing Range calculation based on hovering of the mouse over the close. It employs a conditional display that allows the user to set the indicator as 'invisible' without removing it from the chart and hence provides a numerical closing range value when hovering over the indicator.
🛠️ ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
The Closing Range Indicator calculates the closing range of a trading bar in terms of percentages. It computes the difference between the closing price and the low price of the bar, and then divides it by the range of the bar.
A stock that closes on the high would display 100%
A stock that closes on the low would display 0%
Generally, the higher the percentage the more bullish the close but there are exceptions to this rule.
The indicator can operate on two timeframes:
Daily : Computes the closing range based on the daily high, low, and closing prices.
Weekly : Computes the closing range based on the weekly high, low, and closing prices. If you enable the weekly it will show the weekly close on all daily timeframes. Meaning that if the week Closing range is 54.15% on Friday, it will show the value 54.15% for all days prior to Friday from the same week.
The indicator places a label at the close of each bar, with the label's tooltip showing the calculated closing range percentage. I generally hide the label and just reference the tooltip calculation with a a hoover on top of the bar.
💡 ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
Installation: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart by searching for " Closing Range Indicator" in the indicator library.
Reorder: Reorder the indicator so that it sits as the first indicator (even above the price) on the Pane. This will make sure that you always trigger the tooltip functionality.
Go to Settings:
Timeframe: Choose between daily ('D') and weekly ('W') timeframes from the settings.
Visibility: Enable the 'Make Invisible' option if you want the indicator to be hidden.
Interpretation:
A higher percentage indicates that the closing price is closer to the high of the range, signaling bullish sentiment.
A lower percentage indicates bearish sentiment.
Tooltip: Hover over the label to view the closing range in percentage terms.
[TTI] IBD's 3 (three) weeks tight close pattern––––HISTORY & CREDITS 🏦
The Three Weeks Tight Close pattern is a technical analysis pattern that occurs when a stock closes at nearly the same price for three consecutive weeks, suggesting a period of consolidation before the stock moves in a new direction. The concept of "line of least resistance" as mentioned by Jesse Livermore is closely related to this pattern. It indicates that there is a period of indecision in the market, with buyers and sellers fairly evenly matched. This pattern is often associated with stocks that have strong fundamentals and a solid business model. The pattern was first discovered by Investor's Business Daily founder William Bill O'Neill.
––––WHAT IT DOES 💡
The Three Weeks Tight Close pattern helps traders identify periods of consolidation in a stock's price movement. During these periods, the stock's closing price remains nearly unchanged for three consecutive weeks. This pattern can be a signal that the stock is under accumulation and potentially ready to make a significant move in either an upward or downward direction. By identifying these tight closes, traders can prepare to take advantage of the solid price run and make profitable trades.
The indicator plots 3 different dots/squares above the weekly bar on order to indicate which consecutive tight close wee have.
👉 Cyan color indicates 3 week tight closes
👉 Pink color indicates 4 week tight closes
👉 Red color indicates 5 week tight closes
––––HOW TO USE IT 🔧
• Focus on weekly charts for easier identification.
• Look for three consecutive weekly closes with nearly the same price, within 1-1.5% of each other. Using the indicator.
• Check for low volume during the tightening period.
• Once the pattern is confirmed, switch to the daily timeframe to find the exact buy point.
• Use other technical indicators to confirm a breakout before taking a position in the stock, such as breakouts, moving averages, and trend lines.
• Monitor the position regularly to ensure continued positive price movement.
• Be patient and wait for confirmation before buying in.
• Use stop-loss orders to limit losses if the stock does not move in the expected direction.
• Consider the overall market and its impact on individual stocks before making a trade.
• Keep in mind that not all three tight closes are created equal and use technical analysis to confirm your suspicions.
By following these steps, traders can use the Three Weeks Tight Close pattern to identify potential trading opportunities and increase their chances of making profitable trades.
