How To Input CSV List Of Symbol Data Used For ScreenerExample of how to input multiple symbols at once using a CSV list of ticker IDs. The input list is extracted into individual ticker IDs which are then each used within an example screener function that calculates their rate of change. The results for each of the rate of changes are then plotted.
For code brevity this example only demonstrates using up to 4 symbols, but the logic is annotated to show how it can easily be expanded for use with up to 40 ticker IDs.
The CSV list used for input may contain spaces or no spaces after each comma separator, but whichever format (space or no space) is used must be used consistently throughout the list. If the list contains any invalid symbols the script will display a red exclamation mark that when clicked will display those invalid symbols.
If more than 4 ticker IDs are input then only the first 4 are used. If less than 4 ticker IDs are used then the unused screener calls will return `float(na)`. In the published chart the input list is using only 3 ticker IDs so there are only 3 plots shown instead of 4.

Light or Dark Mode Tutorial - Luminance DetectionAs a colorblind trader, I think accessibility is a big deal. This script auto detects the chart background color and optimizes text color based on luminance.
Luminance detection is based on pine script new chart.bg_color feature, allowing lines, tables, etc to be optimized. Thanks to TV team for releasing this in the latest update/blog post today! This makes it simple to optimize scripts based off the knowledge that max luminance = 765 (rgb 255 + 255 + 255), thus we know that lum <= 383 is "dark mode" and lum > 383 is "light mode".
Try changing the chart background color and see how this script changes the table printed on the chart. I hope more script authors will begin to utilize this concept and that even better contrast detection may be built future pine script iterations.
Invisible FriendLooking into a question from user Alex100, i realized many people do want some kind of values displayed on chart when they hover the mouse over different bars.
As pinescript does not have any feature like pop up box, the only way is to plot a line and than see indicator values at top left. So when mouse is moved around the value displayed changes. As we just need the value, we do not want to clutter the chart with another line.
Using display.none will hide the value from indicator value also
Using color.white will also color the indicator value to white, making it invisible
So the solution is very simple, and requires a bit of creativity. We create an invisible line, in any color we like :)
This indicator is a tutorial on how to display indicator values without the line showing up and also this can be implemented as displaying data for each bar on mouse hover.

Learning Built-in VarsI'm currently working on v5 of my Pine Script Programming Course.
As a part of it, I'm building a few tools/widgets to help students get the content easier.
Here is one of the tools. It's quite basic with it you can select a bar and see all the build-in variables for this bar (Except strategy variables)
I hope it will help you in learning Pine Script!

Example - MA-Cross Retracement DetectionThe retracement tracker function(s) in this script outline how to:
Track conditions using "toggle" booleans.
Use multiple coinciding conditions to trigger an event just once.
What is a retracement?
"Retracements are temporary price reversals that take place within a
larger trend. The key here is that these price reversals are temporary
and do not indicate a change in the larger trend."

Example - HTF Values Without 'Security()'This is an example of how to reference higher timeframe data without the
need for a 'security()' call.

price data that's needed for your everyday indicators in a reliable fashion.
EMA Crossover Strategy ExampleThis is a script written as an example of how to build a simple strategy with user-defined inputs based on a simple Moving Average crossover.
--
This indicator is used for backtesting Moving Average crossover strategies (only for long trades).
A "short" and "long" moving average period and calculation method (the "smoothing type") are user-adjustable. The trade is triggered when the "short" moving average crosses over the "long" moving average.
A third customizable moving average is provided which is used as a trigger to exit the trade when the *close* of a candle crosses below this "exit" moving average. Again the period and smoothing type are user-adjustable.
CC - Array-meta Consolidated Interval Display (ACID)This script extends my other two Array examples (which I've also provided to you open source):
The Ticker-centric 5m,15m,45m,1h,4h,1d resolution labels using arrays:
And the more Macro VIX,GLD,TLT,QQQ,SPY,IWM 1d resolution labels using arrays:
This script aims to show how to use min/max/avg with Arrays easily. My next example after this will be exploring the usage of variance versus covariance ratios over different periodic interval resolutions. Currently, this is using the following intervals: 5m,15m,45m,1h,4h,1d. It takes these intervals, calculates the values at those resolutions and puts the absolute min and max from the 5 minute to the 1 day resolutions.
It's more of an example of the power that arrays can hold, as all this truly is right now is a min/max bound calculator. The real gem lies in the avg calculators for multiple resoltuions tied into a single label with readable data. Check out the code and let me know what you think. If you need more examples, the other two scripts I mentioned before are also open source.
Using this on intervals of less than 1D sometimes times out, the way I wrote it is memory intensive, may not work for non-pro users.
Thanks!
NONE OF THIS IS FOREWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS, THIS IS NOT A PREDECTIVE ANALYSIS TOOL. THIS IS A RESEARCH ATTEMPT AT A NOVEL INDICATOR. I am not responsible for outcomes using it.
Please use and give criticisms freely. I am experimenting with combining resolutions and comparing covariance values at different levels right now, so let me know your thoughts! The last indicator will likely not be open source, but may be depending on how complex I get.
CC - Macro Consolidated Interval Display (MCID)Ever wish you didn't have to rapidly flip between 6 different tickers to get the full picture?
Yeah, me too. Do you also wish that you kind of understood how the shift / unshift function works for arrays?
Yeah, I did too. Both of those birds are taken care of with one stone!
The Macro Consolidated Interval Display uses the new Array structure and security to display data for VIX, GLD, TLT, QQQ, SPY and IWM (at a 1D interval) SIMUTANEOUSLY! Regardless of which ticker you're looking at you can get the full picture of macro futures data without flipping around to get it.
This is my first script trying to use arrays. It basically shows the following a 1d interval:
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for VIX.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for GLD.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for TLT.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for QQQ.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for SPY.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for IWM
To make it more or less busy, I've allowed you to toggle off any of the levels you wish. I've also chosen to leave this as open source, as it's nothing too experimental, and I hope that it can gain some traction as an Array example that the public can use! If you don't like the different values that are shown, use this source code example as a spring-board to put values that you do care about onto the labels.
If this code has helped you at all please drop me a like or some constructive criticism if you do not think it's worth a like.
Good luck and happy trading friends. This should be compatible with my CID as well:
If this gets traction, I will post something similar for a dynamic combination of tickers and intervals that you can set yourself.

How To Color Prior BarsExample how to color the trigger bar of the condition and n-1 prior bars using only 1 barcolor() function.
Currently when offsets are used in barcolor(), bgcolor(), plot(), plotarrow(), plotchar(), or plotshape(), the offset only works with a simple (static) integer. If series (dynamic) integers are used instead, there is not an error, but the series values are ignored. Because of this limitation of offset being constrained to using only fixed offsets, the normal way to paint 3 Black Crows would be to use 3 barcolor() functions. Since there are a known number of bars to be painted in that scenario, this can be easily accomplished.
If a condition encompassed a variable length of n bars, then the number of barcolor() functions needed to use would be unknown. How to color the trigger bar of the condition and n-1 prior bars using only 1 barcolor() function? Dual examples below solves issue but requires n "future" bars, because of this it will not paint the most recent condition in realtime and may not be applicable for use in certain realtime situations. It paints similar in behavior to how a pivot does. Special thanks to LucF and RicardoSantos for illumination!

Scripting Tutorial 8 - Triple Many Moving Averages RibbonsThis script is for a triple moving average indicator where the user can select from different types of moving averages, price sources, lookback periods and resolutions.
Features:
- 3 Moving Averages with variable MA types, periods, price sources, resolutions and the ability to disable each individually
- Crossovers are plotted on the chart with detailed information regarding the crossover (Ex: 50 SMA crossed over 200 SMA )
- Forecasting available for all three MAs. MA values are forecasted 5 values out and plotted as if a continuation to the MA.
- Forecast bias also applies to all forecasting. Bias means we can forecast based on an anticipated bullish, bearish or neutral direction in the market.
- To understand bias, please read the source code, or if you can't read the code just send me a message on here or Twitter. Twitter should be linked to my profile.
- Ribbons added and on by default. Optional setting to disable the ribbons. 5 ribbons between MA1 and MA2 and another 5 between MA2 and MA3.
- Ribbons are alpha-color coded based on their relation to their default MAs.
- Ribbons are only visible between MAs if the MAs being compared share the same Type, Resolution, and Source because there is no way to consolidate those three in a simple manner.
- Ribbon values are calculated based on calculated MA Periods between the MAs.
This script is meant as an educational script with well-formatted styling, and references for specific functions.
