Angled Volume Profile [Trendoscope]Volume profile is useful tool to understand the demand and supply zones on horizontal level. But, what if you want to measure the volume levels over trend line? In trending markets, the feature to measure volume over angled levels can be very useful for traders who use these measures. Here is an attempt to provide such tool.
🎲 How to use
🎯 Interactive input for selecting starting point and angle.
Upon loading the script, you will be prompted to select
Start time and price - this is a point which you can select by moving the maroon highlighted label.
End price - though this is shown as maroon bullet, this is price only input. Hence, when you click on the bullet, a horizontal line will appear. Users can move the line to use different End price.
Start and End price are used for identifying the angle at which volume profile need to be calculated. Whereas start time is used as starting time of the volume profile. Last bar of the chart is considered as ending bar.
🎯 Other settings.
From settings, users can select the colour of volume profile and style. Step multiplier defines the distance at which the profile lines needs to be drawn. Higher multiplier leads to less dense profile lines whereas lower multiplier leads to higher density of profile lines.
🎲 Limitations
🎯 Max 500 lines
Pinescript only allows max 500 lines on an indicator. Due to this, if we set very low multiplier - this can lead to more than 500 profile lines. Due to this some lines can get removed.
On the contrary, if multiplier is too high, then you will see very few lines which may not be meaningful.
Hence, it is important to select optimal multiplier based on your timeframe
🎯 No updates on new bar
Since the profile can spawn many bars, it is not possible to recalculate the whole volume profile when price creates new bars. Hence, there will not be visual update when new bars are created. But, to update the chart, users only need to make another movement of Start or ending point on interactive input.

Recursive Zigzag [Trendoscope]Here is an another outcome of Object Oriented Zigzag and Pattern Ecosystem of Libraries.
We already have another implementation of recursive zigzag which makes use of earlier library rzigzag . Here in this example, we make use of similar logic but leverage the new type and method based Zigzag system libraries to derive the indicator.
🎲 Design Overview
Similar to Recursive Auto Pitchfork, here too the indicator code is around 50 lines. Whereas most of the heavy lifting is done by the libraries.
🎲 Base Libraries
Base libraries are those which does not have any dependency. They form basic structures which are later used in other libraries. These libraries need to be crafted carefully so that minimal updates are done later on. Any updates on these libraries will impact all the dependent libraries and scripts.
🎯 Drawing
DrawingTypes - Defines basic drawing types Point, Line, Label, Box, Linefill and related property types.
DrawingMethods - All the methods or functionality surrounding Basic types are defined here.
🎲 Layer 1 Libraries
These are the libraries which has direct dependency on base libraries.
🎯 Zigzag
ZigzagTypes - Types required for defining Zigzag and Divergence
ZigzagMethods - Methods associated with Zigzag Type definitions.
🎲Indicator
Indicator draws zigzags based on given length. And then recursively derives next level zigzags based on previous levels. As per the utility, indicator is useful in several ways
Visualising price structure based on zigzag pivots - which in turn can help visualise patterns.
Ability to add any oscillator makes it easy to spot divergences with choice of indicators.
Programmers can use the derived values to build complex algorithms such as automatic pattern recognition.
🎯 Settings
Settings are explained via tooltips. These are very much straight forward and directly related to zigzag, oscillators and divergence.
Recursive Auto-Pitchfork [Trendoscope]"Say Hi" to object oriented programming with Pinescript using types and methods. This is the beginning of new era of Pinescript where we are moving from isolated scripts containing indicator and strategies to whole ecosystem of Object Oriented Programming with libraries of highly reusable components. Those who are familiar with programming would have already realised how big these improvements are and what it brings to the table.
With this script, I am not just providing an indicator for traders but also an introduction for programmers on how to design and build object oriented components in Pinescript using types and methods. Big thanks to Tradingview and Pine development team for making this happen. We look forward for many such gifts in the future :)
🎲 Architecture
As mentioned before, we are not just building an indicator here. But, an ecosystem of components. Using Types and Methods we can visualise libraries as Classes. Thus, we can build an ecosystem of libraries in layered approach to enhance effective code reusability.
Generic architecture can be visualised as below
Coming to the specific case of Auto Pitchfork indicator, the indicator code is less than 50 lines for logic and around 100 lines of inputs. But, most of the heavy-lifting is done by the libraries underneath. Here is a snapshot of related libraries and how they are connected.
All libraries are divided into two portions.
Types - Contains only type definitions
Methods - Contains only method definitions related to the types defined in the Types library
Together, these libraries can be visualised as Class. Methods are defined in such a way all exported methods are related to Types and no other functions or features are defined. If we need further functionality which does not depend on the types, we need to do this via some other library and use them here. Similarly, we should not define any methods related to these types in other libraries.
Reason for splitting the libraries to types and methods is to enable updating methods without disturbing types. Since libraries create interdependencies due to versioning, it is best if we do less updates on the type definitions. Splitting the two enables adding more features while keeping the type definition version intact.
🎲 Base Libraries
Base libraries are those which does not have any dependency. They form basic structures which are later used in other libraries. These libraries need to be crafted carefully so that minimal updates are done later on. Any updates on these libraries will impact all the dependent libraries and scripts.
🎯 Drawing

These are the libraries which has direct dependency on base libraries.
🎯 Zigzag
ZigzagTypes - Types required for defining Zigzag and Divergence
ZigzagMethods - Methods associated with Zigzag Type definitions.
🎯Pitchfork
PitchforkTypes - Basic and Drawing Types for Pitchfork objects
PitchforkMethods - Methods associated with Pitchfork type definitions
🎲 Indicator and Settings
Indicator draws pitchfork based on recursive zigzag configurations. Recursive zigzag is derived with following logic:
Base level zigzag is calculated with regular zigzag algorithm with given length and depth
Next level zigzag is calculated based on base zigzag. And we recursively calculate higher level zigzags until we are left with 4 or less pivots or when no further reduction is possible
On every level of zigzag, we then check the last 3 pivots and draw pitchfork based on the retracement ratio.
Indicator settings are summarised in the tooltips and are as below.
Finally, big thanks to my partner @CryptoArch_ for bringing up the topic of pitchfork for our next development.

RSI Impact Heat Map [Trendoscope]Here is a simple tool to measure and display outcome of certain RSI event over heat map.
🎲 Process
🎯Event
Event can be either Crossover or Crossunder of RSI on certain value.
🎯Measuring Impact
Impact of the event after N number of bars is measured in terms of highest and lowest displacement from the last close price. Impact can be collected as either number of times of ATR or percentage of price. Impact for each trigger is recorded separately and stored in array of custom type.
🎯Plotting Heat Map
Heat map is displayed using pine tables. Users can select heat map size - which can vary from 10 to 90. Selecting optimal size is important in order to get right interpretation of data. Having higher number of cells can give more granular data. But, chart may not fit into the window. Having lower size means, stats are combined together to get less granular data which may not give right picture of the results. Default value for size is 50 - meaning data is displayed in 51X51 cells.
Range of the heat map is adjusted automatically based on min and max value of the displacement. In order to filter out or merge extreme values, range is calculated based on certain percentile of the values. This will avoid displaying lots of empty cells which can obscure the actual impact.
🎲 Settings
Settings allow users to define their event, impact duration and reference, and few display related properties. The description of these parameters are as below:
🎲 Use Cases
In this script, we have taken RSI as an example to measure impact. But, we can do this for any event. This can be price crossing over/under upper/lower bollinger bands, moving average crossovers or even complex entry or exit conditions. Overall, we can use this to plot and evaluate our trade criteria.
🎲 Interpretation
Q1 - If more coloured dots appear on the top right corner of the table, then the event is considered to trigger high volatility and high risk environment.
Q2 - If more coloured dots appear on the top left corner, then the events are considered to trigger bearish environment.
Q3 - If more coloured dots appear on the bottom left corner of the chart, then the events are considered insignificant as they neither generate higher displacement in positive or negative side. You can further alter outlier percentage to reduce the bracket and hence have higher distribution move towards
Q4 - If more coloured dots appear on the bottom right corner, then the events are considered to trigger bullish environment.
Will also look forward to implement this as library so that any conditions or events can be plugged into it.
Bar MagnifierMany times while developing algos based on patterns and reversals, I come across issues which needs lower timeframe inspection. Loading multiple charts and comparing equivalent lower timeframe is slightly cumbersome at times. Hence, I thought of building this simple tool - which will instantly provide me lower timeframe candles for given candle. Since the candle selection happen via confirmed time input, we can use this as slider to move from one candle to other for inspection.
🎲 Usage
🎯Loading the script
When you load the script, a prompt appears which asks you to select a time by clicking on the chart.
Select the bar you want to magnify and study
🎯Components
Once loaded, you can see the marker which tells which bar is magnified. And you can also see all the lower timeframe candles before that point. Please note that due to pine restrictions, we can only show last 250 lower timeframe bars. You can change the lower timeframe via settings to cover if the chart timeframe is very high.
🎯Moving to different bars
Click on the middle of the marker, you will see slider which you can slide to move from one bar to other.
Example, after sliding, you will see the lower timeframe data of new candle.
🎯Settings
Settings has only two inputs.
Bar time - selects the bar which needs to be inspected.
Lower timeframe - Default is 1 min. And select a timeframe according to your chart timeframe. Less than 1 min is not supported by security.lower_tf function. Hence, will not work.

Band-Zigzag - TrendFollower Strategy [Trendoscope]Strategy Time!!!
Have built this on my earlier published indicator Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower . This is just one possible implementation of strategy on Band-Based-Zigzag .
🎲 Notes
Experimental prototype. Not financial advise and strategy not guaranteed to make money despite backtest results
Not created or tested for any specific instrument or timeframe
Test and adopt with own risk
🎲 Strategy
This is trend following strategy built based on Bands and Zigzag. Traits of trend following strategies are
Lower win rate (Yes, thats right)
High risk reward (Compensates low win rate)
Higher drawdown
If market is choppy, trend following methods suffer.
The script implements few points to overcome the negatives such as lower win rate and higher drawdown by actively assessing pivots on the direction of trend along. This helps us take regular profits and exit on time during the end of trend. Most of the other concepts are defined and explained in indicator - Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower and Band-Based-Zigzag
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.
🎯 Using bands
When price breaks out of upper bands (example, Bollinger Band , Keltener Channel, or Donchian Channel), with a pre determined length and multiplier, we can consider the trend to be bullish and similarly when price breaks down the lower band, we can consider the trend to be bearish .
🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points .
Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎯 Band Based Zigzag Method
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.
I have also implemented few tricks such as sticky bands (Bands will not contract unless there is breakout) and Adaptive Bands (Band will not expand unless price is moving in the direction of band). This makes the trend following method very robust.
To avoid fakeouts, we also use percentB of high/low in comparison with price retracement to define breakout.

🎲 Simplifying Covariance
Original Formula
//For Sample
Covₓᵧ = ∑ ((xᵢ-x̄)(yᵢ-ȳ)) / (n-1)
//For Population
Covₓᵧ = ∑ ((xᵢ-x̄)(yᵢ-ȳ)) / n
Now, if we look at numerator, this can be simplified as follows
∑ ((xᵢ-x̄)(yᵢ-ȳ))
=> (x₁-x̄)(y₁-ȳ) + (x₂-x̄)(y₂-ȳ) + (x₃-x̄)(y₃-ȳ) ... + (xₙ-x̄)(yₙ-ȳ)
=> (x₁y₁ + x̄ȳ - x₁ȳ - y₁x̄) + (x₂y₂ + x̄ȳ - x₂ȳ - y₂x̄) + (x₃y₃ + x̄ȳ - x₃ȳ - y₃x̄) ... + (xₙyₙ + x̄ȳ - xₙȳ - yₙx̄)
=> (x₁y₁ + x₂y₂ + x₃y₃ ... + xₙyₙ) + (x̄ȳ + x̄ȳ + x̄ȳ ... + x̄ȳ) - (x₁ȳ + x₂ȳ + x₃ȳ ... xₙȳ) - (y₁x̄ + y₂x̄ + y₃x̄ + yₙx̄)
=> ∑xᵢyᵢ + n(x̄ȳ) - ȳ∑xᵢ - x̄∑yᵢ
So, overall formula can be simplified to be used in pine as
//For Sample
Covₓᵧ = (∑xᵢyᵢ + n(x̄ȳ) - ȳ∑xᵢ - x̄∑yᵢ) / (n-1)
//For Population
Covₓᵧ = (∑xᵢyᵢ + n(x̄ȳ) - ȳ∑xᵢ - x̄∑yᵢ) / n
🎲 Simplifying Standard Deviation
Original Formula
//For Sample
σ = √(∑(xᵢ-x̄)² / (n-1))
//For Population
σ = √(∑(xᵢ-x̄)² / n)
Now, if we look at numerator within square root
∑(xᵢ-x̄)²
=> (x₁² + x̄² - 2x₁x̄) + (x₂² + x̄² - 2x₂x̄) + (x₃² + x̄² - 2x₃x̄) ... + (xₙ² + x̄² - 2xₙx̄)
=> (x₁² + x₂² + x₃² ... + xₙ²) + (x̄² + x̄² + x̄² ... + x̄²) - (2x₁x̄ + 2x₂x̄ + 2x₃x̄ ... + 2xₙx̄)
=> ∑xᵢ² + nx̄² - 2x̄∑xᵢ
=> ∑xᵢ² + x̄(nx̄ - 2∑xᵢ)
So, overall formula can be simplified to be used in pine as
//For Sample
σ = √(∑xᵢ² + x̄(nx̄ - 2∑xᵢ) / (n-1))
//For Population
σ = √(∑xᵢ² + x̄(nx̄ - 2∑xᵢ) / n)

Band-Zigzag Based Trend FollowerWe defined new method to derive zigzag last month - which is called Channel-Based-Zigzag . This script is an example of one of the use case of this method.
🎲 Trend Following
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.

Here are few examples where I have used bands for identifying trend
Band-Based-Supertrend
Donchian-Channel-Trend-Filter
🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points.
Adoptive-Supertrend-Pivots
Zigzag-Supertrend
Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎲 Band Based Zigzag Method
Band Based Zigzag will help overcome these issues by combining both the methods.
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts.

Downtrend when last confirmed pivot is pivot low and has higher retracement ratio than PercentB of High. Else, considered as uptrend.
🎯 Settings
Settings allow you to select the band type and parameters used for calculating zigzag and then trend. Also has few options to hide the display.
Chatterjee CorrelationThis is my first attempt on implementing a statistical method. This problem was given to me by @lejmer (who also helped me later on building more efficient code to achieve this) when we were debating on the need for higher resource allocation to run scripts so it can run longer and faster. The major problem faced by those who want to implement statistics based methods is that they run out of processing time or need to limit the data samples. My point was that such things need be implemented with an algorithm which suits pine instead of trying to port a python code directly. And yes, I am able to demonstrate that by using this implementation of Chatterjee Correlation.
🎲 What is Chatterjee Correlation?
The Chatterjee rank Correlation Coefficient (CCC) is a method developed by Sourav Chatterjee which can be used to study non linear correlation between two series.
Full documentation on the method can be found here:
arxiv.org
In short, the formula which we are implementing here is:
Algorithm can be simplified as follows:
1. Get the ranks of X
2. Get the ranks of Y
3. Sort ranks of Y in the order of X (Lets call this SortedYIndices)
4. Calculate the sum of adjacent Y ranks in SortedYIndices (Lets call it as SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices)
5. And finally the correlation coefficient can be calculated by using simple formula
CCC = 1 - (3*SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices)/(n^2 - 1)
🎲 Looks simple? What is the catch?
Mistake many people do here is that they think in Python/Java/C etc while coding in Pine. This makes code less efficient if it involves arrays and loops. And the simple code may look something like this.
var xArray = array.new()
var yArray = array.new()
array.push(xArray, x)
array.push(yArray, y)
sortX = array.sort_indices(xArray)
sortY = array.sort_indices(yArray)
SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices = 0.0
index = array.get(xSortIndices, 0)
for i=1 to n > 1? n -1 : na
indexNext = array.get(sortX, i)
SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices += math.abs(array.get(sortY, indexNext)-array.get(sortY, index))
index := indexNext
correlation := 1 - 3*SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices/(math.pow(n,2)-1)
But, problem here is the number of loops run. Remember pine executes the code on every bar. There are loops run in array.sort_indices and another loop we are running to calculate SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices. Due to this, chances of program throwing runtime errors due to script running for too long are pretty high. This limits greatly the number of samples against which we can run the study. The options to overcome are
Limit the sample size and calculate only between certain bars - this is not ideal as smaller sets are more likely to yield false or inconsistent results.
Start thinking in pine instead of python and code in such a way that it is optimised for pine. - This is exactly what we have done in the published code.
🎲 How to think in Pine?
In order to think in pine, you should try to eliminate the loops as much as possible. Specially on the data which is continuously growing.
My first thought was that sorting takes lots of time and need to find a better way to sort series - specially when it is a growing data set. Hence, I came up with this library which implements Binary Insertion Sort.
Replacing array.sort_indices with binary insertion sort will greatly reduce the number of loops run on each bar. In binary insertion sort, the array will remain sorted and any item we add, it will keep adding it in the existing sort order so that there is no need to run separate sort. This allows us to work with bigger data sets and can utilise full 20,000 bars for calculation instead of few 100s.
However, last loop where we calculate SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices is not replaceable easily. Hence, we only limit these iterations to certain bars (Even though we use complete sample size). Plots are made for only those bars where the results need to be printed.
🎲 Implementation
Current implementation is limited to few combinations of x and fixed y. But, will be converting this into library soon - which means, programmers can plug any x and y and get the correlation.
Our X here can be
Average volume
ATR
And our Y is distance of price from moving average - which identifies trend.
Thus, the indicator here helps to understand the correlation coefficient between volume and trend OR volatility and trend for given ticker and timeframe. Value closer to 1 means highly correlated and value closer to 0 means least correlated. Please note that this method will not tell how these values are correlated. That is, we will not be able to know if higher volume leads to higher trend or lower trend. But, we can say whether volume impacts trend or not.
Please note that values can differ by great extent for different timeframes. For example, if you look at 1D timeframe, you may get higher value of correlation coefficient whereas lower value for 1m timeframe. This means, volume to trend correlation is higher in 1D timeframe and lower in lower timeframes.

Harmonic Patterns Based SupertrendExtending the earlier implemented concept of Harmonic-Patterns-Based-Trend-Follower , in this script, lets make it work as supertrend so that it is more easier to operate.
🎲 Process
🎯 Derive Zigzag and scan harmonic patterns for last 5 confirmed pivots
🎯 If a pattern is found, bullish and bearish zones are calculated based on parameter Base
🎯 These bullish and bearish zones act as supertrend based on current trade in progress.
🎯 When in bullish mode, bearish zone will only go up irrespective of new pattern forming new low. Similarly when in bearish mode, bullish zones will only come down - this is done to imitate the standard supertrend behaviour.
🎲 Note
Patterns are not created on latest pivot as last pivot will be unconfirmed and moving. Due to this, patterns appear after certain delay - patterns will not be real time. But, this is expected and does not impact the overall process.
Here are few chart captures to demonstrate how it works.
🎲 Settings
Settings are explained in the screenshot below.
Harmonic Patterns Based Trend FollowerEarlier this week, published an idea on how harmonic patterns can be used for trend following. This script is an attempt to implement the same.
🎲 Process
🎯 Derive Zigzag and scan harmonic patterns for last 5 confirmed pivots
🎯 If a pattern is found, highest point of pattern will become the bullish zone and lower point of the pattern will become bearish zone.
🎯 Since it is trend following method, when price reaches bullish zone, then the trend is considered as bullish and when price reaches bearish zone, the trend is considered as bearish.
🎯 If price does not touch both regions, then trend remains unchanged.
🎯 Bullish and bearish zone will change as and when new patterns are formed.
🎲 Note
Patterns are not created on latest pivot as last pivot will be unconfirmed and moving. Due to this, patterns appear after certain delay - patterns will not be real time. But, this is expected and does not impact the overall process.
When new pattern formed
When price breaks over the zones
🎲 Output
🎯 Patterns formed are drawn in blue coloured lines. Due to pine limitation of max 500 lines, older patterns automatically get deleted when new ones come.
🎯 Bullish Zone and Bearish Zone are plotted in green and red colours and the zone will change whenever new pattern comes along.
🎯 Bar colors are changed according to calculated trend. Trend value can be 1 or -1 based on the current trend. You can also find the value in data window.
🎯 For simplicity purpose, input option for selection of specific patterns are not provided and also pattern names are not displayed on the chart.
