Option vs Index Performance**Indicator Name:** Option vs Index Performance
**Description:**
This indicator helps traders analyze the relative performance of options compared to their underlying index (e.g., Nifty 50). It evaluates and highlights zones based on two key metrics:
1. **Bar-to-Bar Performance:** Compares the percentage movement of the option price against the index movement on a bar-by-bar basis.
- **Green Zone**: Option outperforms the index.
- **Yellow Zone**: Option moves in sync with the index.
- **Red Zone**: Option underperforms the index.
2. **Swing Alignment:** Tracks the swing structure of the index (higher highs, higher lows) and compares it with the option chart. The indicator checks if the option's swings align with or deviate from the index's swing pattern.
The final output combines both conditions, providing clear visual zones below the chart:
- **Green**: Overperformance and alignment with the index.
- **Yellow**: Neutral performance or partial alignment.
- **Red**: Underperformance or misalignment with the index.
Use this tool on option charts to quickly identify opportunities and assess whether the option's movement is in line with the broader market trend.

Financial Conditions Composite Z-Score1. Inputs and Data Sources
The script pulls data for the following financial metrics using TradingView's request.security function:
CBOE:VIX (Volatility Index): A measure of market volatility.
MOVE Index: A measure of bond market volatility (or Treasury volatility).
BAMLH0A0HYM2 (High-Yield Spread): The spread between high-yield corporate bonds and Treasury yields.
BAMLC0A0CM (Credit Spread): The spread for investment-grade corporate bonds.
Each of these metrics represents a key aspect of financial conditions:
VIX: Equity market risk.
MOVE: Bond market risk.
High-Yield Spread and Credit Spread: Perception of risk in corporate debt.
2. Z-Score Calculation
A z-score standardizes each metric to show how far it deviates from its average over a specified period (lookback = 160, or 160 days):
Positive z-scores indicate the metric is higher than average.
Negative z-scores indicate the metric is lower than average.
The formula for the z-score:
Z-Score = Metric − Mean
Standard Deviation Z-Score = Standard Deviation Metric−Mean
3. Combined Z-Score
The script combines the four individual z-scores into a single Composite Z-Score, equally weighted across the metrics:
Combined Z-Score = (Z VIX + Z MOVE + Z High-Yield Spread + Z Credit Spread) / 4
This Combined Z-Score provides an overall measure of financial conditions:
Positive combined z-scores indicate tighter or riskier financial conditions.
Negative combined z-scores indicate looser or less risky financial conditions.
4. Visual Elements on the Chart
A. Colorful Lines: Individual Z-Scores
Each of the four metrics is plotted as a separate line:
Red: Z-score of the VIX.
Green: Z-score of the MOVE index.
Orange: Z-score of the high-yield spread.
Purple: Z-score of the credit spread.
These lines show how each metric contributes to the overall financial conditions. For example:
A rising red line means increasing equity market volatility (risk).
A rising green line means increasing bond market volatility (risk).
B. Blue Line: Combined Z-Score
The blue line represents the Combined Z-Score. It aggregates the individual z-scores into a single measure:
A rising blue line suggests financial conditions are tightening (greater risk across markets).
A falling blue line suggests financial conditions are loosening (lower risk across markets).
C. Red and Green Background: Z-Score Regions
Red Background: When the Combined Z-Score is positive (>0), it indicates riskier or tighter financial conditions.
Green Background: When the Combined Z-Score is negative (<0), it indicates less risky or looser financial conditions.
This background coloring helps visually distinguish periods of riskier financial conditions from less risky ones.
5. Purpose of the Visualization
This indicator provides a comprehensive view of financial conditions across multiple asset classes:
Traders can use it to gauge the level of systemic market stress.
Investors can use it to assess when risk is elevated (positive z-scores) or subdued (negative z-scores).
It helps in decision-making for strategies that depend on market volatility or risk appetite.
Summary of What You See:
Colorful Lines (Red, Green, Orange, Purple): Individual z-scores for each metric (VIX, MOVE, high-yield spread, credit spread).
Blue Line: The aggregated Combined Z-Score that summarizes financial conditions.
Red and Green Background:
Red: Tight or risky financial conditions (Combined Z-Score > 0).
Green: Loose or low-risk financial conditions (Combined Z-Score < 0).
This visualization provides a multi-dimensional view of financial conditions at a glance, helping to identify periods of high or low risk in the markets.

The indicator essentially creates a dynamic support/resistance structure that adapts to market volatility and volume, making it useful for both intraday and swing trading strategies.
300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.

Shannon Entropy Volatility AnalyzerThis algorithm aims to measure market uncertainty or volatility using a Shannon entropy-based approach. 🔄📊
Entropy is a measure of disorder or unpredictability, and here we use it to evaluate the structure of price returns within a defined range of periods (window length). 🧩⏳ Thus, the goal is to detect changes to identify conditions of high or low volatility. 🔍⚡
What we seek with Shannon's formula in this algorithm is to measure market uncertainty or volatility through dynamic entropy. This measure helps us understand how unpredictable price behavior is over a given period, which is key to making informed decisions. 📈🧠
Through this formula, we calculate the level of disorder or dispersion in price returns based on their probability of occurrence, enabling us to identify moments of high or low volatility. 💡💥
Shannon Entropy Calculation 📏
• Uses probabilities to measure uncertainty in returns. 🎲
• Entropy is normalized on a scale of 0 to 100, where:
o High Entropy: Unpredictable movements (high uncertainty). ⚠️💥
•
o Low Entropy: Structured movements (low uncertainty). 📉🔒
•
• With probabilities, we measure the level of dispersion or unpredictability of returns using Shannon's entropy formula. 📊🔍
________________________________________
Indicator Usefulness 🛠️
• Identify High Volatility: When the market is unpredictable, the indicator signals "High Uncertainty." ⚡🔮
• Detect Market Stability: When the market is more predictable and structured, the indicator highlights "Low Uncertainty." 🔒🧘♂️
• Neutral Zones: Helps monitor markets without extreme conditions, enabling safer entry or exit opportunities. ⚖️🚶♂️
________________________________________
Uncertainty Zones 🌀
1. High Uncertainty: When entropy exceeds the upper threshold. 🚨🔺
2. Low Uncertainty: When entropy is below the lower threshold. 🔻💡
3. Neutral: When entropy lies between both thresholds. ⚖️🔄
________________________________________
What We Aim to Achieve with the Formula in Practice 🎯
1. Detection of Volatile Moments: Shannon’s formula helps us identify when the market is unpredictable. This is a good moment to take additional precautions, such as reducing position size or avoiding trading during high volatility phases. ⚠️📉
2. Trading Opportunities in Stable Markets: With low entropy, we can identify when the market is more predictable, favoring trend or momentum strategies with a higher chance of success. 🚀📈
3. Optimization of Risk Management: By measuring market volatility in real-time, we can adjust entry and exit strategies, tailoring risk based on the level of uncertainty detected. 🔄⚖️

Trend Condition [TradersPro]
OVERVIEW
The Trend Condition Indicator measures the strength of the bullish or bearish trend by using a ribbon pattern of exponential moving averages and scoring system. Trend cycles naturally expand and contract as a normal part of the cycle. It is the rhythm of the market. Perpetual expansion and contraction of trend.
As trend cycles develop the indicator shows a compression of the averages. These compression zones are key locations as trends typically expand from there. The expansion of trend can be up or down.
As the trend advances the ribbon effect of the indicator can be seen as each average expands with the price action. Once they have “fanned” the probability of the current trend slowing is high.
This can be used to recognize a powerful trend may be concluding. Traders can tighten stops, exit positions or utilize other prudent strategies.
CONCEPTS
Each line will display green if it is higher than the prior period and red if it is lower than the prior period. If the average is green it is considered bullish and will score one point in the bullish display. Red lines are considered bearish and will score one point in the bearish display.
The indicator can then be used at a quick glance to see the number of averages that are bullish and the number that are bearish.
A trader may use these on any tradable instrument. They can be helpful in stock portfolio management when used with an index like the S&P 500 to determine the strength of the current market trend. This may affect trade decisions like possession size, stop location and other risk factors.
Tomas' Financial Conditions Z Score"The indicator is a composite z-score comprised of the following four components (equally-weighted):
Credit spreads - ICE BofA High Yield Option Adjusted Spread (BAMLH0A0HYM2) and ICE BofA Corporate Index Option Adjusted Spread (BAMLC0A0CM)
Volatility indexes - VIX (S&P 500 implied volatility) and MOVE (US Treasury bond implied volatility)
I've got it set to a 160-day lookback period, which I think is roughly the best setting after some tinkering.
When the z-score is above zero, it throws a red signal - and when the z-score is below zero, it throws a green signal.
This indicator is a follow-on from the "traffic light financial conditions indicator" that I wrote a thread about a couple of months ago.
I moved on from that previous indicator because it is based on the Federal Reserve's NFCI, which is regularly revised, but I didn't take that into account at the time.
So not a great real-time indicator, if the signal can be subsequently revised in the opposite direction weeks later.
This new indicator is based on real-time market data, so there's no revisions, and it also updates daily, as opposed to weekly for the NFCI"

Standard Deviation of Returns: DivergencePurpose:
The "Standard Deviation of Returns: Divergence" indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals or continuation signals by analyzing divergences between price action and the statistical volatility of returns. Divergences can signal weakening momentum in the prevailing trend, offering insight into potential buying or selling opportunities.
Key Components
1. Returns Calculation:
* The indicator uses logarithmic returns (log(close / close )) to measure relative price changes in a normalized manner.
* Log returns are more effective than simple price differences when analyzing data across varying price levels, as they account for percentage-based changes.
2. Standard Deviation of Returns:
* The script computes the standard deviation of returns over a user-defined lookback period (ta.stdev(returns, lookback)).
* Standard deviation measures the dispersion of returns around their average, effectively quantifying market volatility.
* A higher standard deviation indicates increased volatility, while lower standard deviation reflects a calmer market.
3. Price Action:
* Detects higher highs (new peaks in price) and lower lows (new troughs in price) over the lookback period.
* Price trends are compared to the behavior of the standard deviation.
4. Divergence Detection:
A divergence occurs when price action (higher highs or lower lows) is not confirmed by a corresponding movement in standard deviation:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but the standard deviation does not, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but the standard deviation does not, signaling potential downward momentum.
5. Visual Cues:
The script highlights divergence regions directly on the chart:
Green Background: Indicates a bullish divergence (potential buy signal).
Red Background: Indicates a bearish divergence (potential sell signal).
How It Works
Inputs:
* The user specifies the lookback period (lookback) for calculating the standard deviation and detecting divergences.
Calculation:
* Each bar’s returns are computed and used to calculate the standard deviation over the specified lookback period.
* The indicator evaluates price highs/lows and compares these with the highest and lowest values of the standard deviation within the same lookback period.
Highlight of Divergences:
When divergences are detected:
Bullish Divergence: The background of the chart is shaded green.
Bearish Divergence: The background of the chart is shaded red.
Trading Application
Bullish Divergence:
* Occurs when the market is oversold, or downward momentum is weakening.
* Suggests a potential reversal to an uptrend, signaling a buying opportunity.
Bearish Divergence:
* Occurs when the market is overbought, or upward momentum is weakening.
* Suggests a potential reversal to a downtrend, signaling a selling opportunity.
Contextual Use:
* Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical tools like RSI, MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
* Effective in volatile or ranging markets to help anticipate shifts in momentum.
Summary
The "Standard Deviation of Returns: Divergence" indicator is a robust tool for spotting divergences that can signal weakening market trends. It combines statistical volatility with price action analysis to highlight key areas of potential reversals. By integrating this tool into your trading strategy, you can gain additional confirmation for entries or exits while keeping a close watch on momentum shifts.

squeeze candles with volume Function :
This indicator was designed to detect specific candles called “squeeze”. These candles are characterized by a relatively small body (the difference between the opening and closing price) and long shadows (the distance between the high and low prices), accompanied by significant volume. They often indicate a period of increased volatility or a potential trend reversal.
Use :
Visual detection:
Candles identified as "squeeze" are highlighted in red on the chart.
An “S” icon appears above each detected squeeze candle.
Alerts:
The indicator emits an audible and visual alert when a squeeze candle with high volume is detected (if alerts are enabled).
Market analysis:
This indicator is particularly useful for identifying trading opportunities during periods when the market is showing signs of compression or impending volatility.
Customizable settings:
Minimum volume: Defines the threshold at which the volume is considered high.
Maximum body/shadow ratio: Allows you to adjust the sensitivity to detect squeeze candles (the lower the ratio, the smaller the detected candles will have in relation to their shadows).
Benefits :
Provides accurate alerts on key market candles.
Helps anticipate large movements through analysis of volume and candle characteristics.
Adaptable to different strategies thanks to adjustable parameters.
Ideal for:
Traders who want to identify areas of potential volatility or reversal signals in the market, regardless of the asset or time frame used.

Sector Performance chart to TradingView.
It enables traders to track and compare performance across the crypto market's major sectors, providing essential insights for sector rotation strategies and market analysis.
CALCULATION METHOD
The indicator calculates performance across six key crypto sectors: DeFi, Gaming, Layer 1s, Layer 2s, AI, and Memecoins.
For each sector, it computes a rolling percentage performance by averaging the performance of multiple representative tokens.
All sector performances are rebased to 0% at the start of each period, making relative comparisons clear and intuitive.
VISUALIZATION MODES
The script features two distinct visualization methods:
Plots Mode:
Displays continuous performance lines for each sector over time, ideal for tracking relative strength trends and sector momentum. Each sector has its own color-coded line with performance values clearly marked.
