Super Indicator Enhanced by TradeGlobal PROSuper Indicator Enhanced by TradeGlobal PRO
This indicator is designed to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities across various markets, particularly on intraday timeframes like 1H and 4H. It combines multiple technical indicators—RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and volume analysis—to generate reliable BUY and SELL signals while filtering out noise during sideways markets.
Features
RSI with Divergence Detection: Uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought/oversold conditions and bullish/bearish divergences for potential reversals.
MACD for Trend Confirmation: Employs the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to confirm bullish or bearish momentum, ensuring signals align with the market trend.
Bollinger Bands for Sideways Detection: Filters out false signals during low-volatility (sideways) periods by analyzing the Bollinger Bands width.
Volume Breakout & Whale Detection: Detects significant volume spikes to identify potential whale activity, indicating strong buying or selling pressure.
Support/Resistance with Retest Logic: Identifies key support and resistance levels, enhanced with retest confirmation for higher accuracy.
Double Bottom/Top Patterns: Detects classic reversal patterns (double bottom/top) with volume confirmation to validate breakouts.
Dynamic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Automatically calculates stop-loss and take-profit levels using ATR (Average True Range) with a customizable risk-to-reward ratio.
Signal Types
BUY/SELL: Standard signals for entering trades based on RSI, MACD, and whale activity.
BUY EL/SELL EL: Enhanced signals with higher confidence, incorporating support/resistance, double bottom/top patterns, and retest logic.
OUT: Signals to exit a trade when the price hits the stop-loss, take-profit, or breaks key levels.
How to Use
Timeframe: Best used on 1H or 4H charts for intraday trading. Adjust the RSI overbought/oversold levels for higher timeframes if needed.
Signals:
BUY/BUY EL: Enter a long position when these signals appear. Place a stop-loss below the calculated level and aim for the take-profit level.
SELL/SELL EL: Enter a short position when these signals appear. Place a stop-loss above the calculated level and aim for the take-profit level.
OUT: Exit the trade when this signal appears to secure profits or minimize losses.
Customization:
Adjust the RSI Length, MACD settings, and Bollinger Bands Length to suit your trading style.
Modify the ATR Multiplier for stop-loss and the Risk:Reward ratio for take-profit based on your risk tolerance.
Alerts: Set up alerts for BUY, SELL, BUY EL, SELL EL, and OUT signals to stay informed of trading opportunities.
Notes
The indicator works best in trending markets. Avoid using signals during prolonged sideways periods (check Bollinger Bands width).
Always combine the indicator with your own market analysis and risk management strategy.

Prop Firm Business SimulatorThe prop firm business simulator is exactly what it sounds like. It's a plug and play tool to test out any tradingview strategy and simulate hypothetical performance on CFD Prop Firms.
Now what is a modern day CFD Prop Firm?
These companies sell simulated trading challenges for a challenge fee. If you complete the challenge you get access to simulated capital and you get a portion of the profits you make on those accounts payed out.
I've included some popular firms in the code as presets so it's easy to simulate them. Take into account that this info will likely be out of date soon as these prices and challenge conditions change.
Also, this tool will never be able to 100% simulate prop firm conditions and all their rules. All I aim to do with this tool is provide estimations.
Now why is this tool helpful?
Most traders on here want to turn their passion into their full-time career, prop firms have lately been the buzz in the trading community and market themselves as a faster way to reach that goal.
While this all sounds great on paper, it is sometimes hard to estimate how much money you will have to burn on challenge fees and set realistic monthly payout expectations for yourself and your trading. This is where this tool comes in.
I've specifically developed this for traders that want to treat prop firms as a business. And as a business you want to know your monthly costs and income depending on the trading strategy and prop firm challenge you are using.
How to use this tool
It's quite simple you remove the top part of the script and replace it with your own strategy. Make sure it's written in same version of pinescript before you do that.

The tool will then use the strategy equity of your own strategy and use this to simulat prop firms. Since these CFD prop firms work with different phases and payouts the indicator will simulate the gains until target or max drawdown / daily drawdown limit gets reached. If it reaches target it will go to the next phase and keep on doing that until it fails a challenge.
If in one of the phases there is a reward for completing, like a payout, refund, extra it will add this to the gains.
If you fail the challenge by reaching max drawdown or daily drawdown limit it will substract the challenge fee from the gains.
These gains are then visualised in the calendar so you can get an idea of yearly / monthly gains of the backtest. Remember, it is just a backtest so no guarantees of future income.
The bottom pane (non-overlay) is visualising the performance of the backtest during the phases. This way u can check if it is realistic. For instance if it only takes 1 bar on chart to reach target you are probably risking more than the firm wants you to risk. Also, it becomes much less clear if daily drawdown got hit in those high risk strategies, the results will be less accurate.
The daily drawdown limit get's reset every time there is a new dayofweek on chart.
If you set your prop firm preset setting to "'custom" the settings below that are applied as your prop firm settings. Otherwise it will use one of the template by default it's FTMO 100K.
The strategy I'm using as an example in this script is a simple Keltner Channel breakout strategy. I'm using a 0.05% commission per trade as that is what I found most common on crypto exchanges and it's close to the commissions+spread you get on a cfd prop firm. I'm targeting a 1% risk per trade in the backtest to try and stay within prop firm boundaries of max 1% risk per trade.
Lastly, the original yearly and monthly performance table was developed by Quantnomad and I've build ontop of that code. Here's a link to the original publication:
That's everything for now, hope this indicator helps people visualise the potential of prop firms better or to understand that they are not a good fit for their current financial situation.
Advanced Momentum Scanner [QuantAlgo]The Advanced Momentum Scanner is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify market momentum and trend direction using multiple exponential moving averages (EMAs), momentum metrics, and adaptive visualization techniques. It is particularly valuable for those looking to identify trading and investing opportunities based on trend changes and momentum shifts across any market and timeframe.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Advanced Momentum Scanner utilizes a multi-layered approach with four different EMA periods to identify market momentum and trend direction:
Ultra-Fast EMA for quick trend changes detection (default: 5)
Fast EMA for short-term trend analysis (default: 10)
Mid EMA for intermediate confirmation (default: 30)
Slow EMA for long-term trend identification (default: 100)
For momentum detection, the indicator implements a Rate of Change (RoC) calculation to measure price momentum over a specified period. It further enhances analysis by incorporating RSI readings for overbought/oversold conditions, volatility measurements through ATR, and optional volume confirmation. When these elements align, the indicator generates trading signals based on the selected sensitivity mode (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive).
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Multi-Period Trend Identification
The indicator combines multiple EMAs of different lengths to provide comprehensive trend analysis within the same timeframe, displaying the information through color-coded visual elements on the chart.
When an uptrend is detected, chart elements are colored with the bullish theme color (default: green/teal).
Similarly, when a downtrend is detected, chart elements are colored with the bearish theme color (default: red).
During neutral or indecisive periods, chart elements are colored with a neutral gray color, providing clear visual distinction between trending and non-trending market conditions.
This visualization provides immediate insights into underlying trend direction without requiring separate indicators, helping traders and investors quickly identify the market's current state.
2. Trend Strength Information Panel
The trend panel operates in three different sensitivity modes (Conservative, Aggressive, and Balanced), each affecting how the indicator processes and displays market information.
The Conservative mode prioritizes trend sustainability over frequency, showing only strong trend movements with high probability.
The Aggressive mode detects early trend changes, providing more frequent signals but potentially more false positives.
The Balanced mode offers a middle ground with moderate signal frequency and reliability.
Regardless of the selected mode, the panel displays:
Current trend direction (UPTREND, DOWNTREND, or NEUTRAL)
Trend strength percentage (0-100%)
Early detection signals when applicable
The active sensitivity mode
This comprehensive approach helps traders and investors:
→ Assess the strength of current market trends
→ Identify early potential trend changes before full confirmation
→ Make more informed trading and investing decisions based on trend context
3. Customizable Visualization Settings
This indicator offers extensive visual customization options to suit different trading styles and preferences:
Display options:
→ Fully customizable uptrend, downtrend, and neutral colors
→ Color-coded price bars showing trend direction
→ Dynamic gradient bands visualizing potential trend channels
→ Optional background coloring based on trend intensity
→ Adjustable transparency levels for all visual elements
These visualization settings can be fine-tuned through the indicator's interface, allowing traders and investors to create a personalized chart environment that emphasizes the most relevant information for their strategy.
The indicator also features a comprehensive alert system with notifications for:
New trend formations (uptrend, downtrend, neutral)
Early trend change signals
Momentum threshold crossovers
Other significant market conditions
Alerts can be customized and delivered through TradingView's notification system, making it easy to stay informed of important market developments even when you are away from the charts.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
→ Trend Analysis and Interpretation: The indicator visualizes trend direction and strength directly on the chart through color-coding and the information panel, allowing traders and investors to immediately identify the current market context. This information helps in assessing the potential for continuation or reversal.
→ Signal Generation Strategies: The indicator generates potential trading signals based on trend direction, momentum confirmation, and selected sensitivity mode. Users can choose between Conservative (fewer but more reliable signals), Balanced (moderate approach), or Aggressive (more frequent but potentially less reliable signals).
→ Multi-Period Trend Assessment: Through its layered EMA approach, the indicator enables users to understand trend conditions across different lookback periods within the same timeframe. This helps in identifying the dominant trend and potential turning points.
🟢 Pro Tips
Adjust EMA periods based on your timeframe:
→ Lower values for shorter timeframes and more frequent signals
→ Higher values for higher timeframes and more reliable signals
Fine-tune sensitivity mode based on your trading style:
→ "Conservative" for position trading/long-term investing and fewer false signals
→ "Balanced" for swing trading/medium-term investing with moderate signal frequency
→ "Aggressive" for scalping/day trading and catching early trend changes
Look for confluence between components:
→ Strong trend strength percentage and direction in the information panel
→ Overall market context aligning with the expected direction
Use for multiple trading approaches:
→ Trend following during strong momentum periods
→ Counter-trend trading at band extremes during overextension
→ Early trend change detection with sensitivity adjustments
→ Stop loss placement using dynamic bands
Combine with:
→ Volume indicators for additional confirmation
→ Support/resistance analysis for strategic entry/exit points
→ Multiple timeframe analysis for broader market context
Vietnamese Stocks: Multi-Ticker Fibonacci AlertThis Pine Script™ indicator is designed specifically for traders monitoring the Vietnamese stock market (HOSE, HNX). Its primary goal is to automate the tracking of Fibonacci retracement levels across a large list of stocks, alerting you when prices breach key support zones.
Core Functionality:
The script calculates Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) for up to 40 tickers simultaneously. The calculation is based on the highest high and lowest low identified since a user-defined Start Time. This allows you to anchor the Fibonacci analysis to a specific market event, trend start, or time period relevant to your strategy.
What it Does For You:
Automated Watchlist Scanning: Instead of drawing Fib levels on dozens of charts, select one of the two pre-configured watchlists (up to 40 symbols each, customizable in settings) populated with popular Vietnamese stocks.
Time-Based Fibonacci: Define a Start Time in the settings. The script uses this date to find the subsequent highest high and lowest low for each symbol in your chosen watchlist, forming the basis for the Fib calculation.
Intelligent Alerts: Get notified via TradingView's alerts when the candle closing price of any stock in your active watchlist falls below the critical 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, or 78.6% levels relative to its own high/low range since the start time. Alerts are consolidated for efficiency.
Visual Aids:
- Plots the same time-based Fibonacci levels directly on your current chart symbol for quick reference.
- Includes an optional on-chart table showing which monitored stocks are currently below key Fib levels (enable "Show Debug Info").
- Features experimental background coloring to highlight potential bullish signals on the current chart.
Configuration:
Start Time: Crucial input – sets the anchor point for Fib calculations.
WatchList Selection: Choose between WatchList #1 (Bluechip/Midcap focus) or WatchList #2 (Defensive/Other focus) using the boolean toggles.
Symbol Customization: Easily replace the default symbols with your preferred Vietnamese stocks directly in the indicator settings.
Notification Prefix: Add custom text to the beginning of your alert messages.
Alert Setup: Remember to create an alert in TradingView, selecting this indicator and the alert() condition, usually with "Once Per Bar Close" frequency.

AI-123's BTC vs Gold (Lag Correlation)
DISCLAIMER
I made this indicator with the help of ChatGPT and using what I have learned so far from The Pine Script Mastery Course, LOTS of edits based on what I have learned so far had to be made as well as additions and modifications to my liking thanks to what I have learned so far. I am aware this already exists but I have done my best to make a first ever script/indicator while learning how to properly publish as well, so please bear that in mind.
Overview
This indicator analyzes the correlation between Bitcoin (BTC) and Gold (XAUUSD), with a customizable lag applied to the Gold price, providing insight into the macro relationship between these two assets.
It is designed for traders and investors who want to track how Bitcoin and Gold move in relation to each other, particularly when Gold is lagged by a specific number of days.
Key Features:
BTC and Gold (Lagged) Price Overlay: Display Bitcoin (BTC) and Gold (XAUUSD) prices on the chart, with an adjustable lag applied to the Gold price.
Rolling Correlation Calculation: Measures the correlation between Bitcoin and lagged Gold prices over a customizable lookback period.
Adjustable Lag: The number of days that Gold is lagged relative to Bitcoin is fully customizable (default: 20 days).
Customizable Correlation Length: Allows you to choose the lookback period for the correlation (default: 50 days), providing flexibility for short-term or long-term analysis.
Normalized Plotting: Prices of Bitcoin and Gold are normalized for better visual alignment with the correlation values. BTC is divided by 1000, and Gold by 100.
Correlation Scaling: The correlation value is amplified by 10 for better visual clarity and comparison with price data.
Zero Line: Horizontal line representing a correlation of 0, making it easier to identify positive or negative correlation shifts.
Maximum Correlation Lines: Horizontal lines at +10 and -10 values for extreme correlation scenarios.
Input Settings:
Gold Symbol: Customize the Gold ticker (default: OANDA:XAUUSD).
Bitcoin Symbol: Customize the Bitcoin ticker (default: BINANCE:BTCUSDT).
Lag (in trading days): Adjust the number of trading days to lag the Gold price relative to Bitcoin (default: 20).
Correlation Length (days): Set the number of days over which the rolling correlation is calculated (default: 50).
How to Use:
Price Comparison: The BTC (Spot) and Lagged Gold plots give you a side-by-side visual comparison of the two assets, normalized for clarity.
Correlation Line: The correlation line helps you gauge the strength and direction of the relationship between BTC and lagged Gold. Positive values indicate a strong positive correlation, while negative values indicate a negative correlation.
Visual Analysis: Watch how the correlation shifts with changes in lag and correlation length to identify potential market dynamics between Bitcoin and Gold.
Potential Applications:
Macro Trading: Track how Bitcoin and Gold behave in relation to each other during periods of economic uncertainty or inflation.
Sentiment Analysis: Use the correlation data to understand the sentiment between digital and traditional assets.

Understanding Macro Trends/Correlations.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is for informational purposes only. The correlation between Bitcoin and Gold does not guarantee future performance, and users should conduct their own research and use risk management strategies when making trading decisions.
Notes: This script uses historical data, so results may vary across different timeframes.
Customization options allow users to adjust the lag and correlation length to better fit their trading strategy.
Future Enhancements: Additional Correlation Line: A second correlation line for different lengths of lag or different assets.
Color-Coding of Correlation: Future updates may include color-coded correlation strength, visually indicating positive or negative correlation more effectively.
NQ/MNQ Position Sizing
Despite having my own position sizing calculator in an excel sheet, the manual process of having to identify my next trade, switch tabs/screens, input my values into the sheet, go back into TV, input the trade parameters with appropriate contract sizing, has always really gotten to me. I also found that I would often miss ideal entries due to the delay this caused.
I searched TV for position sizing calculators but almost all the ones I found seemed to be similar: based on some form of manual input for the entry and stop parameters, many of which had way more settings and parameters than I needed, also over complicated things.
I just needed something that would allow me to dynamically set my entry and stop levels directly on the chart, and spit out the appropriate contracts I should be using, either on NQ or MNQ, to maintain my desired level of risk, so I could quickly execute the necessary trade.
So, I coded my own and it's been a huge help to me already, so I thought I may as well publish the script as can't imagine there aren't others out there that also hate the manual data entry process of calculating risk.
Upon first load, the script will ask you to set your Entry and Stop levels, before drawing respective lines for these on the chart, and calculating contract sizing based on your risk settings, which you can update directly. The reset values may be buggy, will be easier to just remove the script and re-apply it to your chart if you ever lose track of the levels you've set.
Hope it's useful.

OverUnder Yield Spread🗺️ OverUnder is a structural regime visualizer , engineered to diagnose the shape, tone, and trajectory of the yield curve. Rather than signaling trades directly, it informs traders of the world they’re operating in. Yield curve steepening or flattening, normalizing or inverting — each regime reflects a macro pressure zone that impacts duration demand, liquidity conditions, and systemic risk appetite. OverUnder abstracts that complexity into a color-coded compression map, helping traders orient themselves before making risk decisions. Whether you’re in bonds, currencies, crypto, or equities, the regime matters — and OverUnder makes it visible.
🧠 Core Logic
Built to show the slope and intent of a selected rate pair, the OverUnder Yield Spread defaults to 🇺🇸US10Y-US2Y, but can just as easily compare global sovereign curves or even dislocated monetary systems. This value is continuously monitored and passed through a debounce filter to determine whether the curve is:
• Inverted, or
• Steepening
If the curve is flattening below zero: the world is bracing for contraction. Policy lags. Risk appetite deteriorates. Duration gets bid, but only as protection. Stocks and speculative assets suffer, regardless of positioning.
📍 Curve Regimes in Bull and Bear Contexts
• Flattening occurs when the short and long ends compress . In a bull regime, flattening may reflect long-end demand or fading growth expectations. In a bear regime, flattening often precedes or confirms central bank tightening.
• Steepening indicates expanding spread . In a bull context, this may signal healthy risk appetite or early expansion. In a bear or crisis context, it may reflect aggressive front-end cuts and dislocation between short- and long-term expectations.
• If the curve is steepening above zero: the world is rotating into early expansion. Risk assets behave constructively. Bond traders position for normalization. Equities and crypto begin trending higher on rising forward expectations.
🖐️ Dynamically Colored Spread Line Reflects 1 of 4 Regime States
• 🟢 Normal / Steepening — early expansion or reflation
• 🔵 Normal / Flattening — late-cycle or neutral slowdown
• 🟠 Inverted / Steepening — policy reversal or soft landing attempt
• 🔴 Inverted / Flattening — hard contraction, credit stress, policy lag
🍋 The Lemon Label
At every bar, an anchored label floats directly on the spread line. It displays the active regime (in plain English) and the precise spread in percent (or basis points, depending on resolution). Colored lemon yellow, neither green nor red, the label is always legible — a design choice to de-emphasize bias and center the data .
🎨 Fill Zones
These bands offer spatial, persistent views of macro compression or inversion depth.
• Blue fill appears above the zero line in normal (non-inverted) conditions
• Red fill appears below the zero line during inversion
🧪 Sample Reading: 1W chart of TLT
OverUnder reveals a multi-year arc of structural inversion and regime transition. From mid-2021 through late 2023, the spread remains decisively inverted, signaling persistent flattening and credit stress as bond prices trended sharply lower. This prolonged inversion aligns with a high-volatility phase in TLT, marked by lower highs and an accelerating downtrend, confirming policy lag and macro tightening conditions.
As of early 2025, the spread has crossed back above the zero baseline into a “Normal / Steepening” regime (annotated at +0.56%), suggesting a macro inflection point. Price action remains subdued, but the shift in yield structure may foreshadow a change in trend context — particularly if follow-through in steepening persists.
🎭 Different Traders Respond Differently:
• Bond traders monitor slope change to anticipate policy pivots or recession signals.
• Equity traders use regime shifts to time rotations, from growth into defense, or from contraction into reflation.
• Currency traders interpret curve steepening as yield compression or divergence depending on region.
• Crypto traders treat inversion as a liquidity vacuum — and steepening as an early-phase risk unlock.
🛡️ Can It Compare Different Bond Markets?
Yes — with caveats. The indicator can be used to compare distinct sovereign yield instruments, for example:
• 🇫🇷FR10Y vs 🇩🇪DE10Y - France vs Germany
• 🇯🇵JP10Y vs 🇺🇸US10Y - BoJ vs Fed policy curves
However:
🙈 This no longer visualizes the domestic yield curve, but rather the differential between rate expectations across regions
🙉 The interpretation of “inversion” changes — it reflects spread compression across nations , not within a domestic yield structure
🙊 Color regimes should then be viewed as relative rate positioning , not absolute curve health
🙋🏻 Example: OverUnder compares French vs German 10Y yields
1. 🇫🇷 Change the long-duration ticker to FR10Y
2. 🇩🇪 Set the short-duration ticker to DE10Y
3. 🤔 Interpret the result as: “How much higher is France’s long-term borrowing cost vs Germany’s?”
You’ll see steepening when the spread rises (France decoupling), flattening when the spread compresses (convergence), and inversions when Germany yields rise above France’s — historically rare and meaningful.
🧐 Suggested Use
OverUnder is not a signal engine — it’s a context map. Its value comes from situating any trade idea within the prevailing yield regime. Use it before entries, not after them.
• On the 1W timeframe, OverUnder excels as a macro overlay. Yield regime shifts unfold over quarters, not days. Weekly structure smooths out rate volatility and reveals the true curvature of policy response and liquidity pressure. Use this view to orient your portfolio, define directional bias, or confirm long-duration trend turns in assets like TLT, SPX, or BTC.
• On the 1D timeframe, the indicator becomes tactically useful — especially when aligning breakout setups or trend continuations with steepening or flattening transitions. Daily views can also identify early-stage regime cracks that may not yet be visible on the weekly.
• Avoid sub-daily use unless you’re anchoring a thesis already built on higher timeframe structure. The yield curve is a macro construct — it doesn’t oscillate cleanly at intraday speeds. Shorter views may offer clarity during event-driven spikes (like FOMC reactions), but they do not replace weekly context.
Ultimately, OverUnder helps you decide: What kind of world am I trading in? Use it to confirm macro context, avoid fighting the curve, and lean into trades aligned with the broader pressure regime.
Correlation Heatmap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates a correlation matrix for a user-specified list of symbols based on their time-aligned weekly or monthly price returns. It calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient for each possible symbol pair, and it displays the results in a symmetric table with heatmap-colored cells. This format provides an intuitive view of the linear relationships between various symbols' price movements over a specific time range.
█ CONCEPTS
Correlation
Correlation typically refers to an observable statistical relationship between two datasets. In a financial time series context, it usually represents the extent to which sampled values from a pair of datasets, such as two series of price returns, vary jointly over time. More specifically, in this context, correlation describes the strength and direction of the relationship between the samples from both series.
If two separate time series tend to rise and fall together proportionally, they might be highly correlated. Likewise, if the series often vary in opposite directions, they might have a strong anticorrelation . If the two series do not exhibit a clear relationship, they might be uncorrelated .
Traders frequently analyze asset correlations to help optimize portfolios, assess market behaviors, identify potential risks, and support trading decisions. For instance, correlation often plays a key role in diversification . When two instruments exhibit a strong correlation in their returns, it might indicate that buying or selling both carries elevated unsystematic risk . Therefore, traders often aim to create balanced portfolios of relatively uncorrelated or anticorrelated assets to help promote investment diversity and potentially offset some of the risks.
When using correlation analysis to support investment decisions, it is crucial to understand the following caveats:
• Correlation does not imply causation . Two assets might vary jointly over an analyzed range, resulting in high correlation or anticorrelation in their returns, but that does not indicate that either instrument directly influences the other. Joint variability between assets might occur because of shared sensitivities to external factors, such as interest rates or global sentiment, or it might be entirely coincidental. In other words, correlation does not provide sufficient information to identify cause-and-effect relationships.
• Correlation does not predict the future relationship between two assets. It only reflects the estimated strength and direction of the relationship between the current analyzed samples. Financial time series are ever-changing. A strong trend between two assets can weaken or reverse in the future.
Correlation coefficient
A correlation coefficient is a numeric measure of correlation. Several coefficients exist, each quantifying different types of relationships between two datasets. The most common and widely known measure is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient , also known as the Pearson correlation coefficient or Pearson's r . Usually, when the term "correlation coefficient" is used without context, it refers to this correlation measure.
The Pearson correlation coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. In other words, it indicates how consistently variables' values move together or in opposite directions in a proportional, linear manner. Its formula is as follows:
𝑟(𝑥, 𝑦) = cov(𝑥, 𝑦) / (𝜎𝑥 * 𝜎𝑦)
Where:
• 𝑥 is the first variable, and 𝑦 is the second variable.
• cov(𝑥, 𝑦) is the covariance between 𝑥 and 𝑦.
• 𝜎𝑥 is the standard deviation of 𝑥.
• 𝜎𝑦 is the standard deviation of 𝑦.
In essence, the correlation coefficient measures the covariance between two variables, normalized by the product of their standard deviations. The coefficient's value ranges from -1 to 1, allowing a more straightforward interpretation of the relationship between two datasets than what covariance alone provides:
• A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation over the analyzed sample. As one variable's value changes, the other variable's value changes proportionally in the same direction .
• A value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation (anticorrelation). As one variable's value increases, the other variable's value decreases proportionally.
• A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables over the analyzed sample.
Aligning returns across instruments
In a financial time series, each data point (i.e., bar) in a sample represents information collected in periodic intervals. For instance, on a "1D" chart, bars form at specific times as successive days elapse.
However, the times of the data points for a symbol's standard dataset depend on its active sessions , and sessions vary across instrument types. For example, the daily session for NYSE stocks is 09:30 - 16:00 UTC-4/-5 on weekdays, Forex instruments have 24-hour sessions that span from 17:00 UTC-4/-5 on one weekday to 17:00 on the next, and new daily sessions for cryptocurrencies start at 00:00 UTC every day because crypto markets are consistently open.
Therefore, comparing the standard datasets for different asset types to identify correlations presents a challenge. If two symbols' datasets have bars that form at unaligned times, their correlation coefficient does not accurately describe their relationship. When calculating correlations between the returns for two assets, both datasets must maintain consistent time alignment in their values and cover identical ranges for meaningful results.
To address the issue of time alignment across instruments, this indicator requests confirmed weekly or monthly data from spread tickers constructed from the chart's ticker and another specified ticker. The datasets for spreads are derived from lower-timeframe data to ensure the values from all symbols come from aligned points in time, allowing a fair comparison between different instrument types. Additionally, each spread ticker ID includes necessary modifiers, such as extended hours and adjustments.
In this indicator, we use the following process to retrieve time-aligned returns for correlation calculations:
1. Request the current and previous prices from a spread representing the sum of the chart symbol and another symbol ( "chartSymbol + anotherSymbol" ).
2. Request the prices from another spread representing the difference between the two symbols ( "chartSymbol - anotherSymbol" ).
3. Calculate half of the difference between the values from both spreads ( 0.5 * (requestedSum - requestedDifference) ). The results represent the symbol's prices at times aligned with the sample points on the current chart.
4. Calculate the arithmetic return of the retrieved prices: (currentPrice - previousPrice) / previousPrice
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each symbol requiring analysis.
It's crucial to note that because this process retrieves prices for a symbol at times consistent with periodic points on the current chart, the values can represent prices from before or after the closing time of the symbol's usual session.
Additionally, note that the maximum number of weeks or months in the correlation calculations depends on the chart's range and the largest time range common to all the requested symbols. To maximize the amount of data available for the calculations, we recommend setting the chart to use a daily or higher timeframe and specifying a chart symbol that covers a sufficient time range for your needs.
█ FEATURES
This indicator analyzes the correlations between several pairs of user-specified symbols to provide a structured, intuitive view of the relationships in their returns. Below are the indicator's key features:
Requesting a list of securities
The "Symbol list" text box in the indicator's "Settings/Inputs" tab accepts a comma-separated list of symbols or ticker identifiers with optional spaces (e.g., "XOM, MSFT, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD"). The indicator dynamically requests returns for each symbol in the list, then calculates the correlation between each pair of return series for its heatmap display.
Each item in the list must represent a valid symbol or ticker ID. If the list includes an invalid symbol, the script raises a runtime error.
To specify a broker/exchange for a symbol, include its name as a prefix with a colon in the "EXCHANGE:SYMBOL" format. If a symbol in the list does not specify an exchange prefix, the indicator selects the most commonly used exchange when requesting the data.
Note that the number of symbols allowed in the list depends on the user's plan. Users with non-professional plans can compare up to 20 symbols with this indicator, and users with professional plans can compare up to 32 symbols.
Timeframe and data length selection
The "Returns timeframe" input specifies whether the indicator uses weekly or monthly returns in its calculations. By default, its value is "1M", meaning the indicator analyzes monthly returns. Note that this script requires a chart timeframe lower than or equal to "1M". If the chart uses a higher timeframe, it causes a runtime error.
To customize the length of the data used in the correlation calculations, use the "Max periods" input. When enabled, the indicator limits the calculation window to the number of periods specified in the input field. Otherwise, it uses the chart's time range as the limit. The top-left corner of the table shows the number of confirmed weeks or months used in the calculations.
It's important to note that the number of confirmed periods in the correlation calculations is limited to the largest time range common to all the requested datasets, because a meaningful correlation matrix requires analyzing each symbol's returns under the same market conditions. Therefore, the correlation matrix can show different results for the same symbol pair if another listed symbol restricts the aligned data to a shorter time range.
Heatmap display
This indicator displays the correlations for each symbol pair in a heatmap-styled table representing a symmetric correlation matrix. Each row and column corresponds to a specific symbol, and the cells at their intersections correspond to symbol pairs . For example, the cell at the "AAPL" row and "MSFT" column shows the weekly or monthly correlation between those two symbols' returns. Likewise, the cell at the "MSFT" row and "AAPL" column shows the same value.
Note that the main diagonal cells in the display, where the row and column refer to the same symbol, all show a value of 1 because any series of non-na data is always perfectly correlated with itself.
The background of each correlation cell uses a gradient color based on the correlation value. By default, the gradient uses blue hues for positive correlation, orange hues for negative correlation, and white for no correlation. The intensity of each blue or orange hue corresponds to the strength of the measured correlation or anticorrelation. Users can customize the gradient's base colors using the inputs in the "Color gradient" section of the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
• This script uses the `getArrayFromString()` function from our ValueAtTime library to process the input list of symbols. The function splits the "string" value by its commas, then constructs an array of non-empty strings without leading or trailing whitespaces. Additionally, it uses the str.upper() function to convert each symbol's characters to uppercase.
• The script's `getAlignedReturns()` function requests time-aligned prices with two request.security() calls that use spread tickers based on the chart's symbol and another symbol. Then, it calculates the arithmetic return using the `changePercent()` function from the ta library. The `collectReturns()` function uses `getAlignedReturns()` within a loop and stores the data from each call within a matrix . The script calls the `arrayCorrelation()` function on pairs of rows from the returned matrix to calculate the correlation values.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedReturns()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences.
• A Pine script can execute up to 40 or 64 unique `request.*()` function calls, depending on the user's plan. The maximum number of symbols this script compares is half the plan's limit, because `getAlignedReturns()` uses two request.security() calls.
• This script can use the request.security() function within a loop because all scripts in Pine v6 enable dynamic requests by default. Refer to the Dynamic requests section of the Other timeframes and data page to learn more about this feature, and see our v6 migration guide to learn what's new in Pine v6.
• The script's table uses two distinct color.from_gradient() calls in a switch structure to determine the cell colors for positive and negative correlation values. One call calculates the color for values from -1 to 0 based on the first and second input colors, and the other calculates the colors for values from 0 to 1 based on the second and third input colors.
Look first. Then leap.

50 EMA Crossover With Monthly DCARecommended Chart Interval = 1W
Overview:
This strategy combines trend-following principles with dollar-cost averaging (DCA), aiming to efficiently deploy capital while minimizing market timing risk.
How It Works:
When the Long Condition is Not Met (i.e., Price < 50 EMA):
- If the price is below the 50 EMA, a fixed DCA amount is added to a cash reserve every month.
- This ensures that capital is consistently accumulated, even when the strategy isn't in a long position.
When the Long Condition is Met (i.e., Price > 50 EMA):
- A long position is opened when the price is above the 50 EMA.
- At this point, the entire capital, including the accumulated cash reserve, is deployed into the market.
- While the strategy is long, a DCA buy order is placed every month using the set DCA amount, continuously investing as the market conditions allow.
Exit Strategy:
If the price falls below the 50 EMA, the strategy closes all positions, and the cash reserve accumulation process begins again.
Key Benefits:
✔ Systematic Investing: Ensures consistent capital deployment while following trend signals.
✔ Cash Efficiency: Accumulates uninvested funds when conditions aren’t met and deploys them at optimal moments.
✔ Risk Management: Exits when the price trend weakens, protecting capital.
Conclusion:
This method allows for efficient capital growth by combining a trend-following approach with disciplined DCA, ensuring risk is managed while capital is deployed systematically at optimal points in the market. 🚀
Z-Score Normalized VIX StrategyThis strategy leverages the concept of the Z-score applied to multiple VIX-based volatility indices, specifically designed to capture market reversals based on the normalization of volatility. The strategy takes advantage of VIX-related indicators to measure extreme levels of market fear or greed and adjusts its position accordingly.
1. Overview of the Z-Score Methodology
The Z-score is a statistical measure that describes the position of a value relative to the mean of a distribution in terms of standard deviations. In this strategy, the Z-score is calculated for various volatility indices to assess how far their values are from their historical averages, thus normalizing volatility levels. The Z-score is calculated as follows:
Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}
Where:
• X is the current value of the volatility index.
• \mu is the mean of the index over a specified period.
• \sigma is the standard deviation of the index over the same period.
This measure tells us how many standard deviations the current value of the index is away from its average, indicating whether the market is experiencing unusually high or low volatility (fear or calm).
2. VIX Indices Used in the Strategy
The strategy utilizes four commonly referenced volatility indices:
• VIX (CBOE Volatility Index): Measures the market’s expectations of 30-day volatility based on S&P 500 options.
• VIX3M (3-Month VIX): Reflects expectations of volatility over the next three months.
• VIX9D (9-Day VIX): Reflects shorter-term volatility expectations.
• VVIX (VIX of VIX): Measures the volatility of the VIX itself, indicating the level of uncertainty in the volatility index.
These indices provide a comprehensive view of the current volatility landscape across different time horizons.
3. Strategy Logic
The strategy follows a long entry condition and an exit condition based on the combined Z-score of the selected volatility indices:
• Long Entry Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the combined Z-score of the selected VIX indices falls below a user-defined threshold, indicating an abnormally low level of volatility (suggesting a potential market bottom and a bullish reversal). The threshold is set as a negative value (e.g., -1), where a more negative Z-score implies greater deviation below the mean.
• Exit Condition: The strategy exits the long position when the combined Z-score exceeds the threshold (i.e., when the market volatility increases above the threshold, indicating a shift in market sentiment and reduced likelihood of continued upward momentum).
4. User Inputs
• Z-Score Lookback Period: The user can adjust the lookback period for calculating the Z-score (e.g., 6 periods).
• Z-Score Threshold: A customizable threshold value to define when the market has reached an extreme volatility level, triggering entries and exits.
The strategy also allows users to select which VIX indices to use, with checkboxes to enable or disable each index in the calculation of the combined Z-score.
5. Trade Execution Parameters
• Initial Capital: The strategy assumes an initial capital of $20,000.
• Pyramiding: The strategy does not allow pyramiding (multiple positions in the same direction).
• Commission and Slippage: The commission is set at $0.05 per contract, and slippage is set at 1 tick.
6. Statistical Basis of the Z-Score Approach
The Z-score methodology is a standard technique in statistics and finance, commonly used in risk management and for identifying outliers or unusual events. According to Dumas, Fleming, and Whaley (1998), volatility indices like the VIX serve as a useful proxy for market sentiment, particularly during periods of high uncertainty. By calculating the Z-score, we normalize volatility and quantify the degree to which the current volatility deviates from historical norms, allowing for systematic entry and exit based on these deviations.
7. Implications of the Strategy
This strategy aims to exploit market conditions where volatility has deviated significantly from its historical mean. When the Z-score falls below the threshold, it suggests that the market has become excessively calm, potentially indicating an overreaction to past market events. Entering long positions under such conditions could capture market reversals as fear subsides and volatility normalizes. Conversely, when the Z-score rises above the threshold, it signals increased volatility, which could be indicative of a bearish shift in the market, prompting an exit from the position.
By applying this Z-score normalized approach, the strategy seeks to achieve more consistent entry and exit points by reducing reliance on subjective interpretation of market conditions.

Z-Score Normalized Volatility IndicesVolatility is one of the most important measures in financial markets, reflecting the extent of variation in asset prices over time. It is commonly viewed as a risk indicator, with higher volatility signifying greater uncertainty and potential for price swings, which can affect investment decisions. Understanding volatility and its dynamics is crucial for risk management and forecasting in both traditional and alternative asset classes.
Z-Score Normalization in Volatility Analysis
The Z-score is a statistical tool that quantifies how many standard deviations a given data point is from the mean of the dataset. It is calculated as:
Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}
Where X is the value of the data point, \mu is the mean of the dataset, and \sigma is the standard deviation of the dataset. In the context of volatility indices, the Z-score allows for the normalization of these values, enabling their comparison regardless of the original scale. This is particularly useful when analyzing volatility across multiple assets or asset classes.
This script utilizes the Z-score to normalize various volatility indices:
1. VIX (CBOE Volatility Index): A widely used indicator that measures the implied volatility of S&P 500 options. It is considered a barometer of market fear and uncertainty (Whaley, 2000).
2. VIX3M: Represents the 3-month implied volatility of the S&P 500 options, providing insight into medium-term volatility expectations.
3. VIX9D: The implied volatility for a 9-day S&P 500 options contract, which reflects short-term volatility expectations.
4. VVIX: The volatility of the VIX itself, which measures the uncertainty in the expectations of future volatility.
5. VXN: The Nasdaq-100 volatility index, representing implied volatility in the Nasdaq-100 options.
6. RVX: The Russell 2000 volatility index, tracking the implied volatility of options on the Russell 2000 Index.
7. VXD: Volatility for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
8. MOVE: The implied volatility index for U.S. Treasury bonds, offering insight into expectations for interest rate volatility.
9. BVIX: Volatility of Bitcoin options, a useful indicator for understanding the risk in the cryptocurrency market.
10. GVZ: Volatility index for gold futures, reflecting the risk perception of gold prices.
11. OVX: Measures implied volatility for crude oil futures.
Volatility Clustering and Z-Score
The concept of volatility clustering—where high volatility tends to be followed by more high volatility—is well documented in financial literature. This phenomenon is fundamental in volatility modeling and highlights the persistence of periods of heightened market uncertainty (Bollerslev, 1986).
Moreover, studies by Andersen et al. (2012) explore how implied volatility indices, like the VIX, serve as predictors for future realized volatility, underlining the relationship between expected volatility and actual market behavior. The Z-score normalization process helps in making volatility data comparable across different asset classes, enabling more effective decision-making in volatility-based strategies.
Applications in Trading and Risk Management
By using Z-score normalization, traders can more easily assess deviations from the mean in volatility, helping to identify periods when volatility is unusually high or low. This can be used to adjust risk exposure or to implement volatility-based trading strategies, such as mean reversion strategies. Research suggests that volatility mean-reversion is a reliable pattern that can be exploited for profit (Christensen & Prabhala, 1998).

EMA Crossover (Short Focus with Trailing Stop)This strategy utilizes a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and Simple Moving Averages (SMA) to generate entry and exit signals for both long and short positions. The core of the strategy is based on the 13-period EMA (short EMA) crossing the 33-period EMA (long EMA) for entering long trades, while a 13-period EMA crossing the 25-period EMA (mid EMA) generates short trade signals. The 100-period SMA and 200-period SMA serve as additional trend indicators to provide context for the market conditions. The strategy aims to capitalize on trend reversals and momentum shifts in the market.
The strategy is designed to execute trades swiftly with an emphasis on entering positions when conditions align in real time. For long entries, the strategy initiates a buy when the 13 EMA is greater than the 33 EMA, indicating a bullish trend. For short entries, the 13 EMA crossing below the 33 EMA signals a bearish trend, prompting a short position. Importantly, the code includes built-in exit conditions for both long and short positions. Long positions are exited when the 13 EMA falls below the 33 EMA, while short positions are closed when the 13 EMA crosses above the 25 EMA.
A key feature of the strategy is the use of trailing stops for both long and short positions. This dynamic exit method adjusts the stop level as the market moves in favor of the trade, locking in profits while reducing the risk of losses. The trailing stop for long positions is based on the high price of the current bar, while the trailing stop for short positions is set using the low price, providing more flexibility in managing risk. This trailing stop mechanism helps to capture profits from favorable market moves while ensuring that positions are exited if the market moves against them.
This strategy works best on the daily timeframe and is optimized for major cryptocurrency pairs. The daily chart allows for the EMAs to provide more reliable signals, as the strategy is designed to capture broader trends rather than short-term market fluctuations. Using it on major crypto pairs increases its effectiveness as these assets tend to have strong and sustained trends, providing better opportunities for the strategy to perform well.
