CAPE / Shiller PE RatioThe CAPE (Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings) or Shiller PE ratio is a popular valuation measure used by investors to assess whether a stock or index is over or undervalued relative to its historical earnings. Unlike the traditional P/E ratio, the CAPE ratio smooths earnings over ten years, adjusting for inflation and providing a more stable and long-term view of valuation.
This indicator lets you quickly calculate and visualize the CAPE ratio for any stock on TradingView, helping you make informed decisions about the sustainability of current price levels. With its clear presentation and intuitive setup, you can compare historical CAPE levels and identify potential opportunities for long-term investments or avoid overvalued markets.
Advantages of the CAPE Ratio:
Long-Term Focus : Smooth earnings over ten years, reducing the impact of short-term volatility.
Inflation-Adjusted : Provides a more precise, inflation-adjusted valuation measure over time.
Historical Comparison : Allows for benchmarking against long-term historical averages.
Market Sentiment Indicator : Can highlight overvalued or undervalued markets for long-term investors.
Reduces Noise : Filters out short-term earnings fluctuations, offering a more stable view.
Disadvantages of the CAPE Ratio:
Ignores Recent Earnings : Misses short-term earnings changes, which can affect current valuations.
Outdated Data : Relies on old earnings data that may not reflect recent company performance.
Less Effective for Growth Stocks : May undervalue high-growth stocks focused on future earnings.
Sector Limitations : Works best for broad markets, less so for fast-changing industries.
Debated Predictive Power : It’s unreliable for timing short-term market movements.
In short, the CAPE ratio is excellent for long-term valuation but has limitations for short-term or growth-focused investing.

Accurate 10x Volume Spike with Corrected Next Candle AnalysisDescription :
The Volume Ten Candles indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps traders identify candles with volume exceeding the previous one by 10 times. This can indicate a potential trend reversal or continuation of the current price movement.
Signal :
The indicator generates a signal when a candle with volume exceeding the previous one by 10 times appears. The signal is displayed on the chart as an arrow or other symbol.
Statistics :
The indicator also displays statistics in the form of a table that shows the number of candles with volume exceeding the previous one by 10 times for a certain period of time. This helps traders assess the strength of the trend and make a decision about entering a trade.
Example of Use :
The Volume Ten Candles indicator can be useful for traders who want to find candles with high volume and use them to enter a trade. For example, if a candle with volume exceeding the previous one by 10 times appears, it may indicate that the market is ready for a price movement. In this case, the trader can open a trade in the direction of this movement.
It is important to note that the Volume Ten Candles indicator is not a guarantee of profit and may produce false signals. Therefore, before using the indicator, it is necessary to conduct testing on historical data and develop a trading strategy.
Statistics Table :
The table displays the number of candles with volume exceeding the previous one by 10 times for each day.
Stochastic RMIThe Relative Momentum Index (RMI) is a technical analysis indicator used to analyze the price movements of assets in a financial market. Similar to the RSI (Relative Strength Index), it helps measure the momentum and strength of the asset's price movements over the recent period. However, the RMI offers a "smoother" view, unlike the RSI. This means that there is less "noise" in the indicator.
As is known, the Stochastic RSI indicator is based on the RSI. What I did was to create a stochastic based on the RMI. If you compare this indicator with the "Stochastic RSI", you will see that there is no difference between them, except that the "Stochastic RMI" is more "smooth" and noiseless.
Industry Group StrengthThe Industry Group Strength indicator is designed to help traders identify the best-performing stocks within specific industry groups. The movement of individual stocks is often closely tied to the overall performance of their industry. By focusing on industry groups, this indicator allows you to find the top-performing stocks within an industry.
Thanks to a recent Pine Script update, an indicator like this is now possible. Special thanks to @PineCoders for introducing the dynamic requests feature.
How this indicator works:
The indicator contains predefined lists of stocks for each industry group. To be included in these lists, stocks must meet the following basic filters:
Market capitalization over 2B
Price greater than $10
Primary listing status
Once the relevant stocks are filtered, the indicator automatically recognizes the industry group of the current stock displayed on the chart. It then retrieves and displays data for that entire industry group.
Data Points Available:
The user can choose between three different data points to rank and compare stocks:
YTD (Year-To-Date) Return: Measures how much a stock has gained or lost since the start of the year.
RS Rating: A relative strength rating for a user-selected lookback period (explained below).
% Return: The percentage return over a user-selected lookback period.
Stock Ranking:
Stocks are ranked based on their performance within their respective industry groups, allowing users to easily identify which stocks are leading or lagging behind others in the same sector.
Visualization:
The indicator presents stocks in a table format, with performance metrics displayed both as text labels and color-coded lines. The color gradient represents the percentile rank, making it visually clear which stocks are outperforming or underperforming within their industry group.
Relative Strength (RS):
Relative Strength (RS) measures a stock’s performance relative to a benchmark, typically the S&P 500 (the default setting). It is calculated by dividing the closing price of the stock by the closing price of the S&P 500.
If the stock rises while the S&P 500 falls, or if the stock rises more sharply than the S&P 500, the RS value increases. Conversely, if the stock falls while the S&P 500 rises, the RS value decreases. This indicator normalizes the RS value into a range from 1 to 99, allowing for easier comparison across different stocks, regardless of their raw performance. This normalized RS value helps traders quickly assess how a stock is performing relative to others.
Key Levels Suite - By LeviathanThis is a comprehensive script, designed to display over 100 key price levels across multiple dimensions, including volume profile levels, HTF levels, VWAPs, SMAs/EMAs, market session levels, day of week levels and more. The indicator offers high flexibility in features, settings and visual appearance.
● The script organizes levels into six main categories:
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels
- Current and/or previous period: Open, High, Low, and Midpoint for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current weekly high/low and previous weekly high/low).
- These levels provide a clear structure for identifying key support and resistance zones. Traders often use HTF levels to anticipate price reactions, such as bounces or rejections, at major highs and lows. For example, a price nearing the weekly high could signal an area of resistance.
VWAP Levels
- Current and/or previous period: VWAP and upper/lower standard deviations for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current daily VWAP and previous weekly VWAP).
- VWAP levels give traders insight into whether the current price is above or below the fair market value for a given period. It’s often used as a reference point for trend direction or S/R. If the price remains above VWAP, the trend may be seen as bullish, while breaks below VWAP can suggest a shift toward bearish sentiment. Standard deviations help identify areas where the price may be overextended, offering opportunities for mean reversion trades.
Moving Average Levels
- EMA and SMA for three customizable lengths (eg. levels for 200 EMA, 50 EMA and 100 SMA).
- These levels act as dynamic support and resistance lines that adjust with price movement. Traders use them to confirm trend direction and watch for reactions around these levels, particularly in trending markets. For example, when the price pulls back to a 200 EMA, it could present an opportunity to enter a trade in line with the prevailing trend.
Volume Profile Levels
- Current and previous: Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL) for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current day POC and previous day POC).
- Volume Profile levels highlight price areas where significant trading occurred. The POC indicates the price where the most volume was traded and can act as a strong magnet for price. VAH and VAL mark the boundaries of value areas, making them excellent spots for breakout or mean reversion trades. Traders look for price reactions around these zones to either join or fade moves.
Market Session Levels
- Current and previous: Open, high, low, and midpoint for three user-defined sessions, with default being Tokyo, London, and New York (eg. levels for current New York session open and previous New York session high and low).
- Session levels allow traders to track how price behaves across different global market sessions. For instance, the New York open often brings increased liquidity and volatility. Traders often use these levels to anticipate sharp moves or continuations, especially after session highs and lows are broken, signaling shifts in market momentum.
Day of Week Levels
- Open, high, low, and midpoint for Monday through Sunday (eg. levels for Monday's high and low and Tuesday open).
- These levels help traders identify recurring intraday or intraweek price behaviors. For example, highs or lows established earlier in the week can serve as benchmarks for breakouts or retracements later on. Monday’s open or Friday’s high/low often reflect market sentiment going into or out of the weekend, providing valuable clues for planning trades.
● About the script
I published this script because it was heavily requested by my Tradingview followers who wanted a clean and feature-rich indicator that can display various levels they use in their analysis. The indicator can display levels that are not available in other similar public scripts and makes sure to calculate and load calculation-intensive levels (like volume profile levels, higher timeframe vwap levels, etc) as fast and efficiently as possible. It is one of the only scripts I've published that is not open source. The code is protected because it includes some proprietary calculations (eg: for POC/VAH/VAL), that I don't wish to open source, but I still want to publish a heavily requested script in a public and free format.
● How to use the script
1. Add the script to your chart
Start by adding the script to your chart like any other indicator.
2. Open the indicator settings
Click the settings icon to access all customization options.
3. Select which level groups to display

Three Bar Reversal Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Three Bar Reversal Pattern indicator identifies and highlights three bar reversal patterns on the user price chart.
The script also provides an option for incorporating various trend indicators used to filter out detected signals, allowing them to enhance their accuracy and help obtain a more comprehensive analysis.
🔶 USAGE
The script automates the detection of three-bar reversal patterns and provides a clear, visually identifiable signal for potential trend reversals.
When a reversal chart pattern is confirmed and price action aligns with the pattern, the pattern's boundaries are extended, forming levels, with the upper boundary often acting as a resistance and the lower boundary as a support.
The script allows users to filter patterns based on a specific trend direction detected by multiple trend indicators. Users can choose to view patterns that are either aligned with the detected trend or opposite to it.
Included trend indicators are: Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels.
🔶 DETAILS
The three-bar reversal pattern is a technical analysis pattern that signals a potential reversal in the prevailing trend. The pattern consists of three consecutive bar formations:
First Bar and Second Bar: 2 consecutive of the same sentiment, representing the prevailing trend in the market.
Third Bar: Confirms the reversal by closing beyond the high or low of the first bar, signaling a potential change in market sentiment.
Various types of three-bar reversal patterns are documented. The script supports two main types:
Normal Pattern: Detects three-bar reversal patterns without requiring the third bar closing price to surpass the high (bullish pattern) or low (bearish pattern) of the first bar. It identifies basic formations signaling potential trend reversals.
Enhanced Pattern: Specifically identifies three-bar reversal patterns where the third bar closing price surpasses the high (bullish pattern) or low (bearish pattern) of the first bar. This type provides a more selective signal for stronger trend reversals.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pattern Type: Users can choose the type of 3-bar reversal patterns to detect: Normal, Enhanced, or All. "Normal" detects patterns that do not necessarily surpass the high/low of the first bar. "Enhanced" detects patterns where the third bar surpasses the high/low of the first bar. "All" detects both Normal and Enhanced patterns.
Derived Support and Resistance: Toggles the visibility of the support and resistance levels/zones.
🔹 Trend Filtering
Filtering: Allows users to filter patterns based on the trend indicators: Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels. The "Aligned" option only detects patterns that align with the trend and conversely, the "Opposite" option detects patterns that go against the trend.
🔹 Trend Indicator Settings
Moving Average Cloud: Allows traders to choose the type of moving averages (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.) and set the lengths for fast and slow-moving averages.
Supertrend: Options to set the ATR length and factor for Supertrend.
Donchian Channels: Option to set the length for the channel calculation.

[ AlgoChart ] - Pearson Index CorrelationCorrelation Indicator (Pearson Index)
The correlation indicator measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two financial assets using the Pearson Index.
Correlation values range from +100 to -100, where:
+100 indicates perfect positive correlation, meaning the two assets tend to move in the same direction.
-100 indicates perfect negative correlation, where the two assets move in opposite directions.
The neutral zone ranges from +25% to -25%, suggesting that the asset movements are independent, with no clear correlation between them.
Interpreting Correlation Levels:
Correlation above +75%: The two assets tend to move similarly and in the same direction. This may indicate a risk of overexposure if both assets are traded in the same direction, as their movements will be very similar, increasing the likelihood of double losses or gains.
Correlation below -75%: The two assets tend to move similarly but in opposite directions. This correlation level can be useful for strategies that benefit from opposing movements between assets, such as trading pairs with inverse dynamics.
Practical Use of the Indicator:
Risk management: Use the indicator to monitor asset correlations before opening positions. High correlation may indicate you are duplicating exposure, as two highly correlated assets tend to move similarly. This helps avoid excessive risk and improves portfolio diversification.
Statistical Arbitrage: During moments of temporary decorrelation between two assets, the indicator can be used for statistical arbitrage strategies. In such cases, you can take advantage of the divergence by opening positions and closing them when the correlation returns to higher or positive levels, thus potentially profiting from the reconvergence of movements.
While the correlation indicator provides valuable insights into asset relationships, it is most effective when used in conjunction with other concepts and tools. On its own, it may offer limited relevance in trading decisions.
Trend Following Composite Index ( TFCI ) 🏆 Trend Following Composite Index (TFCI) 🏆
Overview 🔎
The Trend Following Composite Index (TFCI) is designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market trends by combining several technical indicators in a single, unified tool. Each component brings its unique perspective, and together they create a well-rounded signal that may help traders better understand the current market condition. TFCI simplifies the decision-making process by aggregating these signals into one easy-to-read confidence percentage, allowing traders to quickly gauge whether the market is trending upwards, downwards, or is in a period of indecision.
Combining Multiple Indicators for a Unique Edge 🔀
TFCI integrates six different technical indicators, each tuned to capture distinct aspects of market behavior. Rather than relying on any single indicator, TFCI merges their signals into one, providing a more nuanced and potentially more reliable view of the market. This combination helps reduce the weaknesses inherent in any one indicator, offering a more balanced and holistic trend signal.
RSI Filter: The RSI helps identify potential overbought or oversold conditions, but when used alone, it can generate false signals. In TFCI, the RSI is smoothed and combined with other metrics to avoid reacting to small fluctuations, making the signals more robust.
Kijun-Based Band: This component, inspired by the Kijun-sen line from the Ichimoku system, defines adaptive price bands based on market equilibrium. When combined with a smoothing filter, it provides traders with clear visual cues for potential trend reversals, reducing the guesswork.
Boosted Moving Average: By combining short- and long-term EMAs, this component reacts quickly to price changes, while the "boost" factor enhances its ability to confirm trends early. This combination helps filter out market noise, making it easier to spot genuine trend shifts.
Deviation Condition: This proprietary moving average adjusts dynamically based on volatility, which means it adapts to fast-changing market conditions. By adjusting its sensitivity based on market deviations, it helps smooth out erratic price movements, creating clearer trend signals.
VWTSI (Volume-Weighted Trend Strength Indicator): Volume is an essential factor in confirming trends. This indicator looks at price movements in relation to volume to assess the strength of the trend. By factoring in volatility, it ensures that traders are focusing on the strongest market moves, further enhancing the reliability of the signals.
Supertrend: A volatility-based trailing stop that defines buy and sell points. Its role in TFCI is to help maintain positions during trending markets while avoiding premature exits due to minor pullbacks.
A Streamlined Confidence Signal 🧮
One of the main advantages of TFCI is that it simplifies the multitude of signals into one easy-to-read confidence percentage. The aggregation of multiple indicators means that no single indicator drives the signal; instead, the combined analysis ensures that only when several conditions align do you get a clear trend indication. This reduces false positives and gives traders a more confident view of the overall market direction.
Bullish signals from several components push the percentage higher.
Bearish signals lower the percentage.
A neutral score indicates indecision, signaling a potential range-bound or consolidating market.This consolidated signal allows traders to make quicker decisions without having to interpret several individual indicators, making the tool more user-friendly and practical for daily trading.
Why TFCI’s Combination is Unique and Useful 🔍
What makes TFCI stand out is how each of these indicators works together to offer a more comprehensive view of the market:
Reduced Noise: By combining multiple indicators, TFCI reduces the likelihood of acting on false signals. The integration of smoothing mechanisms and volume-based confirmations further increases signal reliability.
More Balanced Analysis: Using indicators that analyze price, volume, volatility, and trend strength, TFCI provides a balanced view of market conditions. Traders can trust that the signal reflects multiple facets of the market rather than just one aspect, making it more adaptable to different market environments.
Easier to Read: Instead of juggling multiple charts or relying on complex setups, TFCI combines everything into one clear percentage and visual signal. This saves time and reduces the complexity of decision-making.
Tested Across Market Conditions 📅
While no indicator can predict the future, TFCI has been tested in a range of market conditions. Its ability to adapt to different environments (trending, volatile, or range-bound) makes it a versatile tool, though like any technical tool, it should be used alongside other forms of analysis and risk management.

Options Strategy Straddle StrangleThe "Options Strategy Straddle Strangle" indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying and executing optimal options trading strategies by leveraging the foundational principles of option greeks. This tool focuses on two prevalent strategies in options trading: straddles and strangles, providing a systematic approach to determining appropriate strike prices based on real-time market data.
At its core, the indicator calculates strike prices by analyzing key option greeks, including Delta, Gamma, Theta, and Vega. By evaluating these sensitivities, the tool assesses the potential risks and rewards associated with different strike prices, ensuring that the selected levels align with the trader's specified thresholds. Users can input their desired thresholds for each greek, allowing for a customized approach that reflects individual risk tolerance and market outlook.
Once the thresholds are set, the indicator applies its underlying logic to filter and identify the most suitable strike prices for both straddle and strangle strategies. A straddle involves purchasing both a call and a put option at the same strike price, benefiting from significant price movements in either direction. Conversely, a strangle involves buying a call and a put option at different strike prices, which can be more cost-effective while still capitalizing on substantial market shifts.
The output of the "Options Strategy Straddle Strangle" indicator is presented in a clear and organized table format. This table displays the recommended strike prices for implementing either a straddle or a strangle strategy, based on the current market conditions and the predefined greek thresholds. By providing this information in an accessible manner, the indicator enables traders to make informed decisions quickly, enhancing their ability to respond to market volatility effectively.

Pip hunter 1-Minute Scalping Strategy [manesisnet]NOTE: This is my first attempt to write an indicator using pine script and it's not recommended for serious trading, just use it for your own research or feel free to create your own versions based on the below.
Overview: The "1-Minute Scalping Strategy" is a custom TradingView indicator designed for short-term traders looking to capitalize on quick price movements in the 1-minute timeframe. This strategy combines moving averages and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to generate buy and sell signals while filtering out potential false entries by confirming trends on a higher timeframe.
How It Works:
Moving Averages:
The indicator uses two Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):
A fast SMA (5-period) for short-term price movements.
A slow SMA (20-period) to identify the overall trend.
Buy signals are generated when the fast SMA crosses above the slow SMA, indicating bullish momentum.
Sell signals occur when the fast SMA crosses below the slow SMA, indicating bearish momentum.
Higher Time Frame Confirmation:
To enhance the accuracy of the signals, the strategy checks the trend on a higher timeframe (default is 5 minutes).
A buy signal is only valid if the current price is above the higher timeframe SMA, confirming that the overall trend is bullish.
A sell signal is only valid if the current price is below the higher timeframe SMA, confirming a bearish trend.
This confirmation helps avoid false breakouts and ensures that trades are aligned with the prevailing market direction.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
The RSI is used to assess market momentum and potential reversal points.
The indicator calculates a 14-period RSI to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
For buy signals, the RSI must be below 60 (indicating the market is not overbought).
For sell signals, the RSI must be above 40 (indicating the market is not oversold).
This helps to filter out trades that might occur during extreme market conditions.
Visual Representation:
The fast SMA (5-period) is plotted in blue, the slow SMA (20-period) in red, and the higher timeframe SMA in orange.
Buy signals are indicated with a green label below the bar, while sell signals are indicated with a red label above the bar.
This visual representation allows traders to quickly identify potential entry points.
Alerts:
The script includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, enabling traders to receive notifications when the conditions for entering trades are met.
Pivot Liquidity Sweep + SignalsCore Functionalities:
Sweep Signals:
The indicator identifies sweeps of liquidity by detecting when price exceeds recent pivot highs (swing highs) or pivot lows (swing lows) and then reverses direction. It draws attention to these scenarios by labeling them on the chart.
For bullish sweep signals, the entry point is the closing price of the sweep candle, with the stop loss placed at the highest point between the sweep candle and the previous candle.
For bearish sweeps, the entry point is similarly identified, with the stop loss being the lowest price of the sweep candle and the candle before it. The profit target is dynamically set to the low or high of the closest valid pivot depending on the direction of the trade.
Rejection Signals:
Rejection signals are identified when price attempts to break a pivot high or low but fails, causing a rejection.
Bullish rejections involve price trying to break a pivot low but closing back above it, indicating potential for a bounce.
Bearish rejections follow a similar pattern, with price attempting to break a pivot high but failing to hold above it, signaling a potential bearish move.
High-Precision Intrabar Data:
The "Intrabar Precision" feature allows the indicator to use lower timeframe data to accurately plot sweeps and rejections, providing traders with precise entry and exit points.
The intrabar settings are particularly useful for traders looking for high-precision trades, such as scalpers who want to capture small yet consistent moves.
ATR and Percentage-Based Filters:
The indicator allows for customizable filters to ensure signals meet certain thresholds before being validated. Traders can use ATR (Average True Range) or percentage-based conditions to filter out low-quality signals, ensuring that the trades captured have enough volatility or price movement potential.
Dashboard:
The built-in dashboard provides a quick overview of trades executed using the indicator, displaying metrics such as the total number of sweep and rejection trades, their success rates, and total profit in points.
The dashboard is color-coded for easy reading and offers traders insights into the overall performance of their strategy, helping with ongoing evaluation and optimization.
Labeling and Alerts:
Every time a sweep or rejection signal is detected, the indicator automatically labels the chart to help traders quickly identify the trading opportunities.
Alerts are also generated for each trading signal, providing the trader with real-time notifications, which can be useful for those who are not constantly monitoring their charts.
Stop Loss and Target Adaptation:
The stop loss levels are adjusted dynamically based on the recent pivot points, and the target profit is derived from valid subsequent pivot levels to ensure realistic and efficient trade exits.
[MAD MBS] L3 Float Operations & ML-NormalizersFirst of all:
This indicator is not a standalone tool ; it relies on other script series for its inputs.
This script is an indicator designed for multi-path float operations with integrated machine learning normalizers.
It supports up to four distinct paths, each customizable with multiple sources, factors, and operations.
Users can perform various mathematical operations on price data, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and percentage changes, as well as more advanced tasks like double and triple moving averages or power operations.
The script also integrates several normalization methods (e.g., Min-Max, Z-Score, Robust) to standardize data—an important step for machine learning models.
Each path supports multiple smoothing techniques (e.g., EMA, SMA, and specialized Ehlers smoothers) to further refine the output.
Designed to handle multiple data inputs simultaneously, this tool is especially useful for traders looking to analyze and normalize data from different price sources.
The combination of advanced mathematical operations, normalization techniques, and smoothing enhances data management, aiding in more effective trading decisions.
Here you can see a single path, out of the four possible:
Details to the screenshot:
First Series
Second Series
Option to override the second series with a custom constant (or when normalizing, use the length instead)
The first selection box sets the mathematical operation or activates the normalizer.
The second selection box sets the normalization method.
The third selection box sets the final smoothing technique, followed by parameters for smoothing length.
These settings are repeated identically for Paths 2–4.
At the bottom of the setup, there's a general offset option (add the 'close' price for overlay purposes).
Additionally, there's an option to display a line at zero for centered results.
Kurutoga Histogram with HTF and LTF
Kurutoga Histogram:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a technical analysis indicator designed to measure price divergence from the 50% level of a recent price range. By calculating how far the current price is from the midpoint of a selected base length of candles, the histogram provides insight into the momentum, strength, and potential reversals in the market. Additionally, it can be applied across multiple timeframes to provide a comprehensive view of both short- and long-term market dynamics.
Key Components:
Base Length:
The base length is the number of candles (bars) over which the high and low prices are observed. The default base length is typically 14 periods, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preference.
This base length defines the range from which the 50% level, or midpoint, is calculated.
50% Level (Midpoint):
The midpoint is the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the selected base length. This 50% level acts as an equilibrium point around which the price fluctuates.
Formula:
Midpoint = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2
The price’s distance from this midpoint is an indicator of how strong the current trend or divergence is.
Price Divergence:
The main calculation of the histogram is the difference between the current closing price and the midpoint of the price range.
Formula:
Divergence = Close Price − Midpoint
A positive divergence (price above the midpoint) indicates bullish strength, while a negative divergence (price below the midpoint) indicates bearish strength.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The Kurutoga Histogram can be applied to both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe (HTF), allowing traders to gauge price movement in both short-term and long-term contexts.
By comparing the histograms of multiple timeframes, traders can determine if there is alignment (confluence) between trends, which can strengthen trade signals or provide additional confirmation.
Color-Coded Histogram:
Blue Bars (Positive Divergence): Represent that the price is above the 50% level, indicating bullish momentum. Taller blue bars suggest stronger upward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest weakening strength.
Red Bars (Negative Divergence): Represent that the price is below the 50% level, indicating bearish momentum. Taller red bars suggest stronger downward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest a potential reversal or consolidation.
The histogram’s color intensity and transparency can be adjusted to enhance the visual effect, distinguishing between current timeframe (LTF) and higher timeframe (HTF) divergence.
Interpretation:
Bullish Signals: When the histogram bars are blue and growing, the price is gaining momentum above the midpoint of its recent range. This could signal an ongoing uptrend.
Bearish Signals: When the histogram bars are red and growing, the price is gaining momentum below the midpoint, signaling an ongoing downtrend.
Momentum Shifts: When the histogram bars shrink in size (whether blue or red), it could indicate that the current trend is losing strength and may reverse or enter consolidation.
Neutral or Sideways Movement: When the histogram bars hover around zero, it means the price is trading near the midpoint of its recent range, often signaling a lack of strong momentum in either direction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
When the current timeframe (LTF) histogram aligns with the higher timeframe (HTF) histogram (e.g., both are showing strong bullish or bearish divergence), it may provide stronger confirmation of the trend's strength.
Divergence between timeframes (e.g., bullish on LTF but bearish on HTF) may suggest that price movements on lower timeframes are not yet reflected in the broader trend, signaling caution.
Applications:
Trend Identification: The Kurutoga Histogram is highly useful for detecting when the price is trending away from its equilibrium point, providing insight into the strength of ongoing trends.
Momentum Analysis: By measuring the divergence from the 50% level, the histogram helps traders identify when momentum is increasing or decreasing.
Reversal Detection: Shrinking histogram bars can signal weakening momentum, which often precedes trend reversals.
Consolidation and Breakouts: When the histogram remains near zero for an extended period, it suggests consolidation, which often precedes a breakout in either direction.
Advantages:
Clear Visuals: The use of a color-coded histogram makes it easy to visually assess whether the market is gaining bullish or bearish momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Utility: The ability to compare current timeframe signals with higher timeframe signals adds an extra layer of confirmation, reducing false signals.
Dynamic Adjustment: By adjusting the base length, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator to match different markets or trading styles.
Limitations:
Lagging Indicator: Like most divergence indicators, the Kurutoga Histogram may lag slightly behind actual price movements, especially during fast, volatile markets.
Requires Confirmation: This indicator works best when used in conjunction with other technical tools like moving averages, support/resistance levels, or volume indicators, to avoid relying on divergence alone.
Conclusion:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a versatile and visually intuitive tool for measuring price divergence from a key equilibrium point, helping traders to assess the strength of trends and identify potential reversal points. Its use across multiple timeframes provides deeper insights, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy that emphasizes momentum and trend following.
Relative Strength Index Custom [BRTLab]RSI Custom — Strategy-Oriented RSI with Multi-Timeframe Precision
The Relative Strength Index Custom is designed with a focus on developing robust trading strategies. This powerful indicator leverages the logic of calculating RSI on higher timeframes (HTFs) while allowing traders to execute trades on lower timeframes (LTFs). Its unique ability to extract accurate RSI data from higher timeframes without waiting for those candles to close provides a real-time advantage, eliminating the "look-ahead" bias that often
distorts backtest results.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe RSI for Strategy Development
This indicator stands out by allowing you to calculate RSI on higher timeframes, even while operating on lower timeframe charts. This means you can, for example, calculate RSI on the 1-hour or daily chart and execute trades on a 1-minute chart without needing to wait for the higher timeframe candle to close. This feature is crucial for strategy-building as it eliminates backtesting issues where data from the future is inadvertently used, providing more reliable backtest results.
Example: On a 15-minute chart, you can use the 1-hour RSI to open positions based on higher timeframe momentum, but you get this signal in real-time, improving timing and accuracy.
Accurate Data Extraction from Higher Timeframes
The indicator's custom logic ensures that accurate RSI data is retrieved from higher timeframes, providing an edge by delivering timely information for lower timeframe decisions. This prevents delayed signals often encountered when waiting for higher timeframe candles to close, which is crucial for high-frequency and intraday traders looking for precise entries based on multi-timeframe data.
Customizable RSI Settings for Strategy Tuning
The script offers full customization of the RSI, including length and source price (close, open, high, or low), allowing traders to tailor the RSI to fit specific trading strategies. These settings are housed in the "RSI Settings" section, enabling precise adjustments that align with your overall strategy.
No Future-Looking in Backtests
Traditional backtests often suffer from "future-looking" bias, where calculations unintentionally use data from candles that haven’t yet closed. This indicator is specifically designed to prevent such issues by calculating RSI values in real-time. This is particularly important when creating and testing strategies, as it ensures that the conditions under which trades would have been made are accurately represented in historical tests.
RSI-Based Moving Average for Additional Filtering
The built-in moving average (MA) based on RSI values helps filter out noise, making it easier to identify genuine trend shifts. This is particularly useful in strategies where moving average crossovers act as additional confirmation for trade entries and exits.
Overbought and Oversold Zone Detection
Visual gradient fills on the RSI chart help traders identify overbought and oversold zones (above 70 and below 30, respectively). These zones are crucial for timing reversal trades or confirming momentum-based strategies.
How This Indicator Enhances Your Strategy
Increased Accuracy for Intraday Strategies
For traders who operate on lower timeframes, using higher timeframe RSI data gives a broader perspective of market momentum while still maintaining precision for short-term trade entries. The real-time data extraction means you don't need to wait for HTF candles to close, which can dramatically improve your entry timing.
Strategic Edge in Backtesting
One of the greatest challenges in backtesting strategies is avoiding future-looking bias. This indicator is built to overcome this by using real-time multi-timeframe data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of historical strategy testing, which provides confidence in your strategies when applied to live markets.
Advanced Filtering for Trend Strategies
By combining the RSI values with a customizable moving average (MA) and visualizing key momentum zones with overbought/oversold fills, the indicator allows for more refined trade filters. This ensures that signals generated by your strategy are based on solid momentum data and not short-term price fluctuations.
