T-distribution

Volume CandlesHello traders! Well, I was trying to implement EquiVolume Charts that were developed by Richard W. Arms, but unfortunately I got a poor result. Instead, I used my groundwork on EquiVolumes to create Volume Candles indicator to help you make better, smarter trades. What are the cool features? Excellently filters the instrument's movements Gives a better view of the accumulation/distribution phases Completely removes price gaps Works on ANY instrument that has available volume data. Personally, I am a big fan of the volume-based indicators and to clarify my position I cite the following words of Buff Pelz Dormeier from his book "Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends" : A trade produces only two pieces of information: the price and price's neglected sibling, volume. Perhaps the least appreciated piece of the puzzle, volume represents fertile ground for technical analysis. Proficiency in volume analysis is a rare skill. Properly understood, though, volume analysis can provide its practitioner with the power to peer deeply into market mechanics. Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing and a mentor of Warren Buffett, often called the market a 'voting machine'. If so, then volume is the ballot box. Volume is a literal illustration of the power behind the forces of supply and demand. Volume is understood as the validation of price, the source of liquidity, the substantiation of information, the fulfillment of convictions, the revelation of divergent opinions, the fuel of the market, the proponent of truth, and the energy behind the velocity of money. If you believe any of this information might be important in making an investment decision, volume analysis is important to you. I attached some screenshots to show you how it works with other instruments. How to get access Buy for only 129$ to get lifetime access to this indicator Like and follow for more cool indicators!

Ultimate Money Flow (UMF), Stoch, Multi Time Frame (MTF) [cI8DH]This indicator adds stochastic, multi time frame, signal line, histogram, and bar coloring options to my previous indicators. It can also replicate standard Money Flow Index ( MFI ), Chaikin's Accumulation/Distribution Line ( ADL ), On Balance Volume ( OBV ) and Price-Volume Trend ( PVT ). This indicator can be used for analyzing momentum, buy/sell pressure, overbought/oversold conditions, and trendiness/choppiness, as well as identifying swings (stoch). Chart below shows example multi-TF setup with bar coloring. For analyzing price, I made a similar indicator based on Absolute and Relative Strength Indices, which you can find in the link below. Equation Here is part of the code used in the script: pastebin.com Standard MFI, OBV, ADL and PVT To validate the calculations, I stacked UMF on MFI, OBV, ADL, and PVT in the chart below (100% overlaps validate the calculations). It also shows how you can replicate these indicator if you'd like to use them, or if you want to make your own custom indicator by combining features from different indicators. I do not recommend MFI, ADL or OBV; read "why invent a new indicator" section below. (bear in mind that MFI scale is 0-100, while UMF scales is -100 to 100) Money Flow based on "Balance of Power" (this is the default mode) Balance of Power (BoP) equation is: (close - open) / (high - low) In my opinion, BoP is the most accurate equation to measure the amount of volume accumulated or distributed. I used BoP in my previous open source indicators ADV , ADL , ADP and ADMF . I applied the "True Range" fix to BoP equation similar to what Twiggs did on CMF . Aggregation Method By changing aggregation methods, you can replicate my previous indicators which are also linked at the bottom of this page. Please read more about their applications in their respective pages. aggregation method = Cumulative => ADL indicator: accumulation/distribution (price factoring should be turned off) aggregation method = MA => ADMF indicator: accurate buy/sell pressure, momentum and divergence aggregation method = MA Percent => ADP indicator: overbought/oversold conditions, buy/sell pressure, momentum and divergence, failure swings Smoothing, signal line and histogram to detect trend and choppiness You can apply additional smoothing to UMF. Also, you can add a signal line and histogram (histogram is the difference between main line and signal line). To do so, set the signal length to a number greater than one. Signal line can help you detect changes in trend similar to the signal line on MACD. If signal line criss-crosses UMF, it shows market is choppy. The worst case is when this criss-crossing coincides with UMF flattening near neutral line and histogram height is short; that means market is ded (until it is not; expansion following a contraction period is a common phenomena)! (Bear in mind that histogram will not show in stoch mode.) Stochastic To enable stoch, change the stoch length to a number greater than 1 (default stoch length for the built-in stoch RSI is 14). This length should be calibrated depending on TF and asset. If done correctly, it can be a powerful tool for identifying swings. Stoch can be combined with any aggregation method. I recommend using stoch with MA or cumulative aggregation methods. For conventional uses of stochastic, please read www.tradingview.com(STOCH) and www.tradingview.com(STOCH_RSI). Experimental Bar coloring Feature There is an option to color bars depending on UMF's position relative to the signal line. If both TFs are used in coloring and they are in disagreement, the TF with greater histogram height wins. There are two shades of green and red. The darker shade means both TFs agree. If you use the signal line, bar coloring can help with calibrating the indicator (play with parameters until you see a good looking chart i.e. a lot of green candles followed by a lot of red candles in a row). Please note that bar colors might change until candle(s) close(s). The bar coloring rules will most likely change in the future. Notes - Uncheck "Factor Price" for Bitmex or any other exchange that shows volume in terms of money. - UMF is a replacement to ADP , ADMF and ADL , so no more updates for the old indicators! - Smooth MA length N = EMA length 2*N-1 - Combined tickers, e.g. (COINBASE:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BTCUSD+KRAKEN:XBTUSD)/3, can mitigate inconsistency issues between different exchanges (I recommend not mixing USD and USDT pairs together) Why invent a new indicator I have spent a great deal of time to find the best equation that represents accumulation/distribution. Each of the well-known methods have a major flaw. - Winner-take-all problem MFI, OBV and to some extent Williams AD assign accumulation or distribution based on the direction of change in price. They don't account for the amount of change. That means the indicator does not differentiate between a full candle and a doji candle. - Extreme divergence problem Chaikin tried to avoid winner-take-all problem. However, he ended up with a solution that, in my opinion, is even worse. A big flaw of Chaikin's indicators is that they can diverge too much from price. Most responsive indicators in this class, require at least two candles to diverge from price, but CMF/ADL can diverge in a single candle. Chaikin used the same component ( aka Chaikin's money flow multiplier) in both CMF and ADL. CMF 's flaws may not be as visible because it is a normalized oscillator. However, this common flaw is more evident in accum/dist indicator which keeps all past information in its memory. As you can see in the chart below, accum/dist is constantly rising during an obviously distribution period. ADV (Volume) ADP ADMF ADL Please give a like, and share the interesting configurations you find in the comments.

Stoch Money Flow (ADMF) & Absolute Strength Index (ASI) [cI8DH]This indicator can apply my previous indicator, Historical and Standard Stochastic, to Money Flow (ADMF) or Absolute Strength Index (ASI) or both at the same time. It can also display those two indicators in regular mode as well as showing visual cues when the indicators make new ATH or ATL. ASI is basically a new name I am giving to my Gain/Loss Moving Average indicator. If you normalize ASI with the moving average of all the changes in price, it becomes identical to RSI. So ASI is basically non-normalized RSI, that is why it should be a more accurate representation of price momentum. ADMF is an accumulation/distribution and money flow momentum indicator. Both ASI and ADMF are not range-bound so it is not easy to compare them against each other. When stochastic equation is applied to them, they both become range-bound and comparable. The gaps between the two indicator can reveal valuable information about market dynamics. The chart below shows some examples (note the settings). For conventional usages of stochastic, please read www.tradingview.com(STOCH) and www.tradingview.com(STOCH_RSI). I recommend you to find the optimal length by playing with the stoch length in the indicator settings. If this parameter is calibrated properly, this indicator can be a powerful tool for identifying market cycle. You can get these features ( ATH , ATL detection and historical stochastic) for any other indicator using the script below:

Sectors Relative Strength Normal DistributionI wrote this indicator as an attempt to see the Relative Strengths of different sectors in the same scale, but there is also other ways to do that. This indicator plots the normal distribution for the 10 sectors of the SPY for the last X bars of the selected resolution, based on the selected comparative security. It shows which sectors are outperforming and underperforming the SPY (or any other security) relatively to each other by the given deviation.

Volume (D)EMAA simple yet configurable indicator that shows recent traffic volumes. The time period is specified as weeks/days/hours/minutes, not as bars. Set the volume period to non-zero if you want to use a generalized double EMA instead of plain. The "ratio" option will show the size of the current volume compared to the average volume as computed for the specified time period; say hello to fat tails and goodby to "standard" and "normal" and "average". With the "together" option, it compares the current volume to the both sides together (buy+sell), otherwise it compares it to just its respective side.

GEOMETRIC STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS v1 by @XeL_ArjonaGEOMETRIC STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS Ver.1 By Ricardo M Arjona @XeL_Arjona DISCLAIMER: The Following indicator/code IS NOT intended to be a formal investment advice or recommendation by the author, nor should be construed as such. Users will be fully responsible by their use regarding their own trading vehicles/assets. The embedded code and ideas within this work are FREELY AND PUBLICLY available on the Web for NON LUCRATIVE ACTIVITIES and must remain as is. WHAT'S THIS? This IS NOT the wheel "Re-Invention"... This is exactly what the name says: A pair of Envelope Bands to measure "volatility", constructed at statistical relation from within price series and their Rolling back MEAN (Simple Moving Average). YES, What Mr. Bollinger did and put it's name to this simple, cleaver and popular formula. This time, I took the time to make another simple mod, but seems to me to be quite functional in REAL VOLATILE assets like in the example chart: TO USE THEIR GEOMETRIC MODE!! Cheers! Any feedback or public modification(s) are quite welcome to the community....! @XeL_Arjona Apr 28 2016
