Standard Deviation

WhipLashThis is a study to determine if small candle bodies (little difference between open and close), regardless of overall candle length (high/low), can be used to filter choppy markets. The indicator will calculate the selected average "MA Mode" of (close-open). To standardize this result and ensure any filters/thresholds do not need to be recalculated for each instrument the result will be used to calculate the Z Score. The idea is that when candle bodies are small there is very little actual price movement, and therefore price is choppy. When considering the Z Score of that result, any outliers ie larger candle bodies, could show a potential trend forming. This indicator is similar to QStick but allows more customization by the user. MA Mode determines which MA is used to smooth the results of (close-open) Price Smoothing is the number of running periods the MA Mode is calculated for. The three Thresholds are preset to the 90%, 95%, and 99% levels for Z Score. If these thresholds are altered you may wish to also alter the horizontal lines programmed for each level on the positive and negative sides. The Z Length is the period for which the Z Score is calculated Multiple MA Options Credits to @Fractured Bits and Pieces from @AlexGrover, @Montyjus, and @Jiehonglim As always, trade at your own risk.

Moving Average Adaptive FilterThe Moving Avg Adaptive Filter (MAAF) was authored by Perry Kaufman in the Stocks and Commodities Magazine 03/1998 This is a volatility based indicator so when this indicator goes up, sell in the direction of how that stock is going. In other words go short when it is rising and the stock price is below the ema or go long when it is rising and the stock price is above the ema. Lower volatility means it is trading sideways or the current price action is about to reverse. Send me a message and let me know what other indicators you would like to see!

VQZL Z-ScoreVolatility Qaulity Zero Line attempts to keep a trader out of ranging markets, but the original calculation on TradingView had to be adjusted for each instrument. To avoid this issue, I have applied a z-score calculation to the VQZL so the result is standardized for all instruments. A Z-Score is simply a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. This calculation allows us to compare current volatility to the mean (moving average) of the population (Z-Length). The closer the VQZL Z-Score is to the mean, the closer it will be to the Zero Line and therefore price is likely consolidating and choppy. The farther VQZL Z-Score is from the mean, the more likely price is trending. The MA Mode determines the Moving Average used to calculate VQZL itself. The Z-Score is ALWAYS calculated with a simple moving average (as that is the standard calculation for Z-Score). The Threshold Levels are the levels at which VQZL Z-Score will change from gray to yellow, orange, green (bullish), or red (bearish). These levels can be adjusted but you should adjust the Threshold Lines as well (in the style section), so they line up with your adjusted values. Statistically speaking, confidence levels in relation to Z-Score are noted below. The built in Threshold Levels are the positive and negative values for 90%, 95%, and 99%. This would indicate when volatility is greater than these values they are out of the ordinary from the standard range. You may wish to adjust these levels for VQZL Z-Score to be more responsive to your trading need 80% :: 1.28 85% :: 1.44 90% :: 1.64 95% :: 1.96 99% :: 2.58 As always, trade at your own risk.

Standard Deviation Measurement ToolIf you like the script please come back and leave me a comment or find me on the interwebs. I get notified you "liked" it... but I have no idea if you actually use it. So, let me know =) The script uses the open price as the mean and calculates the standard deviation from the open price on a per candle basis - Goal: - To establish a mean based on the Open Price and calculate the standard deviation. The reason for this is if the Open is the mean, then the Standard deviation implies a standardized distance a given candle can be expected to travel from the open price - Edge: - If you know that there is a 68%/95%/99.7% probability that price will NOT move more than One Standard Deviation/Two Standard Deviations/Three Standard Deviations from the open price respectively you can set reasonable price targets that relate to those probabilities in a given timeframe. e.g. if you're on a 1h chart and your target is 3.5% from the open price, but 1 standard deviation of the hourly candle is equal to 0.78%. You can make assumptions on either: - The reasonableness of your target or - The holding period likely required for the trade. Also, Standard Deviation is a function of volatility and this tool provides a unique mechanism for measuring volatility as well on a candle by candle basis - Customization Options- - Set 3 independent upper and lower standard deviations. - Each set of standard deviations are on a switch so you can show 1, 2, or 3 sets of standard deviations - You can set the distribution width - Though it's not recommended, you can change the mean source. - There is a switch to show the standard deviation on only the real-time bar or real-time and historical bars. - How I Think About This Script - This strategy is predicated the same principle as Bollinger Bands: the reality that 68% of all data points will fall within one standard deviation of the mean, 96% of all data points will fall within two standard deviations, and 98% of al data points will fall within 3 standard deviations. By understanding the standard deviation, you can possibly infer an edge by understanding the probabilistic range price will be bound to the limits of standard deviation rules according to their probabilistic outcomes for the single candle on any given timeframe. Bollinger Bands are designed to provide this information with the mean being a 20-period moving average and this indicator. This indicator is designed to provide standard deviation information with the mean being based on the distance price travels away from the open of individual candles in the lookback period. If you use a strategy where you enter on major candle closes, this can be useful to set targets for those entries based on the intended hold period or at least add/remove validity to other target metrics. Example: Your target is at the 1.618 Fibonacci level and your confirmation triggers on the 4h candle close (H4 if that's your thing lol). You set up the indicator based on the standard deviation of price movement in 4h candles over the last week. Let's say the indicator shows that the 1.618 Fibonacci level is 3 standard deviations away. This being the case this statistically indicates that within the next 4 hours, you have a very low probability of achieving your target (>2%). This doesn't invalidate your target, but it does indicate a low probability of achieving it in the next 4hrs. With this information, you can infer that you are either going to be (a) really lucky (b) in this trade for a lot longer than 4hrs or (c) your target is unrealistic given your intended hold period. You can develop a more probabilistically favorable hold period calculation by looking at the standard deviation on a higher time frame (e.g. 1d-1w). Bonus feature: You'll find that the 2 and 3 standard deviations will often "cluster" and these clusters often provide future S/R levels. That's a pretty sweet feature no one things to look for. But, try it. Find a cluster of 2nd and 3rd stdevs that are in somewhat of a horizontal pattern (usually the result of a range) and you'll find that to be a good s/r area. Even better if you use the 3.2 standard deviation, you'll find that is a fantastic breakout signal! Summary So, you can use it for target setting, a confluence test, a reasonableness test, or just a measurement tool. This was the first TV script I ever wrong.. Got taken down. But, I've re-released it because there are other TV scripts that attempt to do this but are completely wrong. Please be careful about using other people's scripts. Always validate the math of the script before you use it if possible. Stay safe out there and I hope all your dreams come true.

SMU STDEV Overlap Candles with Highest and Lowest This script creates a STDEV in a candle format overlayed on the actual candles. The STDEV candles lead with deviation to upside or downside. The Blue bars are Upside heads-up showing the strength of the uptrend before it happens. The Black candles are downside indicators pulling on the price I like price action because it is raw. So for High and Low I used the highest and lowest amount so when you trade you can see where the price is in relation to previous high and low I use this script in conjunction with my first STDEV candles to get the full picture in short time frames. For example, when I see the STDEV of above 6 on change of direction then I trade on it before the trend begins and confirm it with STDEV overlay If you have you been following my scripts you notice the code is very simple but the concept is very powerful. My hope is better pine script coders to build on these scripts and publish more out of the box type of scripts. Enjoy

SMU STDEV Candles This script creates a STDEV in a candle format so you can see the Change in a candle format and compare it with the actual price candle. Is very similar to SMU RSI and SMU ROC. The interesting part is to see the full effect of traditional indicators in a candle format rather than a simple plot format. Very interesting view in SPX. There is a very big clue in the chart as STDEV changed since 2008. Can you figure it out? Also, try this in lower time frame and you will be amazed how Algo kills volatility after each upside or downside. Fascinating

r2 correlation coefficientmade a quick script to compare r2 correlation coefficient, can change source and correlation component in inputs menu example, here we can see that btc currently has a 0.85 correlation with eth vs usd when using simple moving avg on the daily (above 0.8 is positive correlation. below -0.8 is negitive correlation, and anything in between means there is no correlation) note: if you wanted to compare with a different source like rsi, then you would need to reduce the length in the inputs menu not an expert, i encourage doing your own research biffy

sma dipsparity and sdvFXBTCJPY 1min contrarian script (2020/1/30) 1分足の逆張りです． If you want to use other timescale, need to change disparity rate and sdv. To display disparity(sma) and standard deviation, and to draw a hline(pine function) a certain valu. And lets think. I thought disparity rate 1~1.3 or -1~-1.3 are able to use constrarian trade (and sdv>600). In bottom, disparity index is auxiliary. It is different from the multiple in the script to make the value easier to understand. Sorry if the expiration date of the script has expired.

Exponential Deviation Bands [ChuckBanger]This is Exponential Deviation Bands. It is a price band indicator based on exponential deviation rather than the more traditional standard deviation, as you find in the well-known Bollinger Bands calculation. As compared to standard deviation bands, exponential deviation bands apply more weight to recent data and generate fewer breakouts. There fore it is a much better tool to identifying trends. One strategy on the daily can be Buy next bar if closing price crosses below the lower bands Sell if price is equal to the current value of the upper bands

Linear Regression Trend ChannelThis is my first public release of indicator code and my PSv4.0 version of "Linear Regression Channel", as it is more commonly known. It replicates TV's built-in "Linear Regression" without the distraction of heavy red/blue fill bleeding into other indicators. We can't fill() line.new() at this time in Pine Script anyways. I entitled it Linear Regression Trend Channel, simply because it seems more accurate as a proper description. I nicely packaged this to the size of an ordinary napkin within 20 lines of compact code, simplifying the math to the most efficient script I could devise that fits in your pocket. This is commonly what my dense intricate code looks like behind the veil, and if you are wondering why there is no notes, that's because the notation is in the variable naming. I excluded Pearson correlation because it doesn't seem very useful to me, and it would comprise of additional lines of code I would rather avoid in this public release. Pearson correlation is included in my invite-only advanced version of "Enhanced Linear Regression Trend Channel", where I have taken Linear Regression Channeling to another level of fully featured novel attainability using this original source code. Features List Includes: "Period" adjustment "Deviation(s)" adjustment "Extend Method" option to extend or not extend the upper, medial, and lower channeling Showcased in the chart below is my free to use "Enhanced Schaff Trend Cycle Indicator", having a common appeal to TV users frequently. If you do have any questions or comments regarding this indicator, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and ideas presented below in the comments section, when time provides it. As always, "Like" it if you simply just like it with a proper thumbs up, and also return to my scripts list occasionally for additional postings. Have a profitable future everyone!

Breakout Reversal Entry on WMA - NG1! Overnight ver 1This script is for learning purposes only This strategy will plot arrows when price breaks so far above/below WMA. The strategy will enter when the price breaks away from WMA. All entries are reversals. Users can set WMA length and source; also the distance of the price away from WMA to enter. Adjustable bracket orders are placed for exit, with trailing stop or market stop choice. Last, users can set the time of day they want to enter a trade. My Preference: I am testing this strategy on NG1! over night on 1 minute candle. with .003 on price drop/climb, I get entries almost every night. Also 10 tick stop and 5 tick profit seems backward to most, but with a high win/loss ratio, it performs quite well. Trailing stops generally help out as well. INPUTS: Length - The is the WMA length Source - WMA source (High, Low, Open, Close...) When Price Drops - This is the distance in ticks when the price drops away from WMA, an arrow is plotted, and reversal entry order is placed When Price Climbs - Same as price drop, just in the opposite direction Trailing Stop check box - Check if you want to place a trailing stop so many tick away from entry. Unchecked is Market (hard) stop so many ticks from entry. Stop - Number of ticks away from entry a the stop or trailing stop is set (for NG 1 tick = $0.001) Limit Out - Number of ticks away from entry a limit order is placed to take profits Limit Time of day check box - check to use the time of day to limit what time of day order entry will occur. Start/Stop Trades (Est Time) - First box is when the strategy will be allowed to start buying and stop is when the strategy will stop being allowed to buy. Sell orders continue until a stop or limit triggers an exit. These times are Eastern time zone PROPERTIES: Pyramiding - This feature will allow multiple entries to occur. If set to 1, the strategy should only trade 1 contract at a time. If set to 2, the strategy will enter a second order if entry requirements are met. This allows you to be holding 2 contracts. Basically on a good day, it will multiply your earnings, on a bad day, you'll just lose more. For testing, I keep this on 1. TIPS: - If you want to go long only, set "When Price Climbs" to an impossible number, like 10,000. It's not possible for NG to move $10 is a matter of minutes so it will not enter the market with a short order. Also keep in mind you can set different requirements for going long vs going short. If you think there is more pull on the market in a particular direction.

Standard Deviation - Sum Of The Squares Minus Square Of The SumsIntroduction The standard deviation measure the dispersion of a data set, in short this metric will tell you if your data is on average closer or farther away from the mean. Its one of the most important tools in statistics and living without it is pretty much impossible, without it you can forget about Bollinger-bands, CCI, and even the LSMA (ouch this hurt) . Now i don't want to extend myself about the standard deviation since that would require a huge post but i want to show you how to calculate the standard deviation from the stdev pinescript function. Sum Of The Squares Minus Square Of The Sums Any metric calculated from a moving average can be classified as "running", this mean that the metric constantly update itself and is not constant, this is why it is better to say "running standard deviation" but its okay. If we use the standard calculation for the standard deviation which would be sqrt(sma(pow(close - sma,2))) we might get something totally different from the stdev function : In white the pine stdev function and in red the standard calculation of both period 4, its clear that both are not the same, one might try to use the Bessel's correction but that won't do either, this is because most technical analysis tools will calculate the square root of the "Sum Of The Squares Minus Square Of The Sums" method to estimate the standard deviation Another way is to use : a = sqrt(sma(pow(close,2),length) - pow(sma(close,length),2)) By returning the difference we might still see some errors : Nothing relevant of course. Conclusion Some of you might already be aware of this but a reminder is always good since it can be confusing to make what can be considered the good standard deviation formula and then have something totally different from the pine function, i hope this post will be useful and that you learned something from it. Thanks for reading :)

Realized VolatilityRealized / Historical Volatility Calculates historical, i.e. realized volatility of any underlying. If frequency is not the daily, but for example 6h, 30min, weeks or months, it scales the initial setting to be suitable for the different time frame. Examples with default settings (30 day volatility, 365 days per year): A) Frequency = Daily: Returns 30 day historical volatility, under the assumption that there are 365 trading days in a year. B) Frequency = 6h: Still returns 30 day historical volatility, under the assumption that there are 365 trading days in a year. However, since 6h granularity fits 4 times in 24 hours, it rescales the look back period to rather 30*4 = 120 units to still reflect 30 day historical volatility.
