Ahsan Tufail Precise MA Crossover Filter for Reliable SignalsIntroduction:
In the ever-evolving world of Forex trading, strategies that provide a competitive edge are highly sought after. The Moving Average (MA) crossover technique is a popular long-term approach, but its vulnerability to false signals can lead to potential losses. To overcome this challenge, we introduce a game-changing MA crossover filter designed to weed out false signals and unlock the full potential of this strategy. In this article, we delve into the mechanics of this filter, providing a comprehensive analysis of its components and how it enhances the accuracy of buy and sell signals.
The Power of the MA Crossover Filter:
The essence of our MA crossover filter lies in the integration of a specialized indicator that operates on a scale of 0 to 100. This ingenious indicator dynamically measures the distance between the middle Bollinger band and either the upper or lower Bollinger band. By analyzing the values of the last 504 candlesticks, it maps the range from 50 to 100 for the largest and smallest distances between the middle and upper Bollinger bands. Similarly, for values ranging from 0 to 50, it measures the distance between the middle and lower Bollinger bands.
Unveiling the Signal Execution Process:
The brilliance of this filter is revealed in its meticulous execution of buy and sell signals, which significantly reduces false crossovers. Let's explore the process step-by-step:
Buy Signal Precision:
To initiate a buy signal, the price must be positioned above the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter validates the crossover by checking the indicator's value, ensuring it falls below the threshold of 25.
Sell Signal Accuracy:
For a sell signal, the price must be below the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter confirms the crossover by verifying the indicator's value, which should exceed the threshold of 75.
This selective approach ensures that only high-confidence crossovers are considered, maximizing the potential for profitable trades.
Fine-Tuning the Filter for Optimal Performance:
While the MA crossover filter exhibits its prowess in GBPUSD and EURUSD currency pairs, it may require adjustments for other pairs. Currency pairs possess unique characteristics, and adapting the filter to specific behavior is crucial for its success.
To fine-tune the filter for alternative currency pairs, traders should conduct rigorous backtesting and analyze historical price data. By experimenting with indicator threshold values, traders can calibrate the filter to accurately match the dynamics of the target currency pair. This iterative process allows for customization, ultimately resulting in a finely-tuned filter that aligns with the unique behavior of the selected market.
Conclusion:
The MA crossover filter represents a paradigm shift in long-term Forex trading strategies. By intelligently filtering false signals, this precision tool unleashes the true potential of the MA crossover technique, elevating its profitability and enhancing overall trading performance. While no strategy guarantees absolute success, incorporating this filter empowers traders with a heightened level of confidence in their buy and sell signals. Embracing the power of this innovative filter can be a transformative step towards mastering Forex profits and staying ahead in the dynamic world of currency trading.

DHL reversal indicator [promuckaj]DHL reversal indicator was developed as idea to mark interesting zones on the chart according to previous daily High/Low prices that in most scenarios could be a good point to open reversal scalp position.
Logic behind this is that if price is above previous daily high, or below previous daily low, with confluence of MA20 indicator will mark that zones with color. If price pullback and cross MA20 (at least with 80% with candles body) but still is out of previous daily high/low it will mark respective bars as confirmed potential signals with triangles.
Confirmed potential signals can be filtered with simple MACD, preferred with 1D timeframe for MACD, used as general bias.
Settings allow to change MA, MACD and colors as well as integrated alerts for potential confirmed signals for long/short.
Everyone enjoy and happy scalping!
Relative Daily Change% by SUMIT
"Relative Daily Change%" Indicator (RDC)
The "Relative Daily Change%" indicator compares a stock's average daily price change percentage over the last 200 days with a chosen index.
It plots a colored curve. If the stock's change% is higher than the index, the curve is green, indicating it's doing better. Red means the stock is under-performing.
This indicator is designed to compare the performance of a stock with specific index (as selected) for last 200 candles.
I use this during a breakout to see whether the stock is performing well with comparison to it`s index. As I marked in the chart there was a range zone (red box), we got a breakout with good volume and it is also sustaining above 50 and 200 EMA, the RDC color is also in green so as per my indicator it is performing well. This is how I do fine-tuning of my analysis for a breakout strategy.
You can select Index from the list available in input
**Line Color Green = Avg Change% per day of the stock is more than the Selected Index
**Line Color White = Avg Change% per day of the stock is less than the Selected Index
If you want details of stocks for all index you can ask for it.

What it does
The indicator uses an Adjusted Weighted majority algorithm to generate "buy" and "sell" signals. The algorithm takes into account several market metrics and weights them based on their recent performance. How far back the algorithm checks is based on the “Time Weighting” setting. This allows users to choose between having more data points or having more recency bias within the algorithm, but less data to decipher.
How it works and what differentiates it
There are many popular strategies in the market all of which go in and out of successful periods. The SFX algorithm effectively uses popular indicators or "experts" and weights them using a period decided through the "Time Weighting" Setting. The "experts" include popular indicators that cover Momenutmn, ATR trends, and EMA trends. Adjusted Weighted Majority typically weighs only through binary events however the SFX also uses a dynamic system to punish larger losses. The total weighting is then used to confirm a signal is agreeing with the most successful "experts" or indicators within the time period. This effectively will filter poor signals during periods of underperformance compared to other indicators and the converse during performant periods.
This weighting algorithm was inspired by the Princeton University lecture "Multiplicative Weight Algorithm" by Sanjeev Arora!
Usage
CME_MINI:ES1! 3 minute timeframe, July 7 2023.
Indicator Settings: (Sensitivity: 70, Signal Strength: 40, Time Weighting: Recent Trends)
The star-rated signals show the strength of the signals based on our weighting system
The colored candles (green & red) simplify the market into basic uptrends/downtrends
The volatility bands show areas of potential reversals
The volatility bands also show potential breakouts (Tight bands = consolidation, which could lead to an impulsive move)
The take profit signals suggest areas where profits should be taken in a trade
Settings and their Usage
Algorithm Settings Explained
Sensitivity determines how frequently signals appear. A higher sensitivity would lead to more frequent signals (Buy & Sell) appearing on your chart
Signal Strength helps filter out low-rated signals based on our Stochastic Weighting Algorithm. A higher signal strength will lead to fewer signals on your chart. A higher-rated signal doesn't necessarily make it a better signal than a lower-rated signal.
Time Weighting allows you to choose how much historic data you want the indicator to use when interpreting data for the signals. There are three options to choose from including:
- Recent Trends
- Mixed Trends
- Longterm Trends
Using the "Recent Trends" option will only use recent market data when looking at the market metrics our algorithm uses for generating "Buy" and "Sell" signals. Thus, there will be a recency bias which means the metrics the algorithm is weighing more heavily have recently performed well.
Using the "Longterm Trends" option will use more historic market data when looking at the market metrics our algorithm uses. This will give more data points for the algorithm to use, but it won't count for recent performances, but rather an overall performance in the past. Thus, if one metric has been doing poorly recently, it will still receive the same weight, even though it was performing well at the start of our lookback period for data.
Using the "Mixed Trends" option will give you a choice that is in between these two options. This will give you a good balance between having enough data points for market metrics, while also sustaining a good bit of market recency bias.
Sessions by JuezFxLines Plotted at the opening price of London, New York, New York Stock Exchange, and Asia. It could also plot lines of the closing price of the session.
The script is just plotting a line at those levels to give us a visual indicator of those specific levels as they could be very beneficial for your trading. Opening and closing of the session hold the most liquidity, attracting the market towards it.
I hope this script will help you in your trading and you can use those levels along with other confluences in order to identify key levels that the market could react from!
There are some similar scripts but this one have more lines to plot at could be identified by different color and line thickness!
Smoothed Vortex IndicatorThe Smoothed Vortex Indicator (SVI) is an enhanced version of the original Vortex Indicator (VI), designed to provide traders with a more refined and smoother representation of trend strength and potential reversals in financial markets. While both indicators share the same concept of measuring directional movement and true range, the SVI incorporates the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to achieve additional smoothing , differentiating it from the standard Vortex Indicator.
The original Vortex Indicator (VI) consists of two lines, VI+ and VI-, which represent the positive and negative directional movements, respectively. It calculates the True Range (TR), Plus Directional Movement (PDM), and Minus Directional Movement (MDM) over a specified period, usually 14 periods, and then calculate the Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of VI+ and VI- based on these values.
On the other hand, the Smoothed Vortex Indicator (SVI) utilizes the HMA to improve precision and reduce lag in trend identification. The HMA is itself a weighted moving average of two WMAs and is known for its smoothing characteristics. The SVI first calculates the VI+ and VI- values as in the original VI and then applies the HMA formula to each of these values separately.
To add further flexibility to the SVI, it introduces a user-defined Weighting Factor. This factor allows traders to fine-tune the smoothing effect applied to VI+ and VI-. By multiplying the weighted VI values with the HMA, the SVI ensures a smoother representation of trend strength, making it easier for traders to identify trends and potential reversal points in the market.
In summary, the Smoothed Vortex Indicator (SVI) enhances the original Vortex Indicator by incorporating the Hull Moving Average (HMA) for additional smoothing and introducing a customizable Weighting Factor. This improved version provides traders with a more refined and visually smoother indicator, aiding them in making better-informed trading decisions based on trend strength and possible market reversals.
Historic Volume/Market ProfilesHistoric Volume/Market Profile is a Periodic Volume Profile with all of the improvements known in the original Volume/Market Profile.
VMP is a 2 in 1 Volume and Market Profile Indicator.
HVMP uses the base of VMP to offer a quick and simple view at multiple historic profiles at the same time.
This includes:
Cluster Identification for High Volume and Low Volume Areas.
Maximizing granularity by utilizing boxes and lines to get up to 1000 rows.
New Inclusions in HVMP vs VMP:
HVMP granularity is determined by the # of profiles on display. By doing this, each profile will get an even amount of allocated rows to use and granularity is scaled per-profile, to fit within the row allowance.
For Example: 1000/(# of profiles) = Maximum # of rows per profile.
HVMP introduces the "Auto-Scale" Option (on by Default), this automatically fits each profile within the defined timeframe period to provide a consistent display when switching timeframes.
Even with "Auto-Scale" enabled, "Display Size" dictates which direction the profile is displayed.
Below is a Negative Display Size (Displays from right to left, starting at the end of the period)
Below is a Positive Display Size (Displays from left to right, starting at the beginning of the period)
HVMP is only for historical data, you can get a live profile with the same Node Identification using VMP (Volume Market/Profile). The indicator that this one is based on.

HTF Liquidity Dashboard [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to server as a multi-symbol scanner that indicates when user-defined symbols have exceeded their previous Day/Week/Month highs and lows.
By default, the dashboard will use a compact view where the green ✔ means that price has swept and is currently exceeding the level of interest, the red ❌ implies that price swept the level but reversed back into the original range, and - indicates that the level hasn't been reached. However, the dashboard text can be toggled to show the numerical values of the highs and lows instead of these compact strings, as shown in the following image.
These levels may be shown and customized on the current chart as well via the Show Levels option. By default, levels from the selected timeframes will initially be plotted as black, and will change to red once traded through. Users can optionally increase the Session Limit parameter to show more than one previous high/low on their chart, for each selected timeframe.
Optionally, we can also plot labels to show when any of the user-defined symbols have exceeded their respective highs and lows, for any of the selected timeframes. Alerts can be created for these events as well; simply select the desired symbols and timeframes, create a new alert using this indicator, and you should be alerted when highs and lows are traded through. Note: if you encounter any issues with duplicate alerts, try deleting the alert, navigating to a lower timeframe such as the 1m, and making a new alert.
Trend FollowingMoving Average Period:** This is the period of the moving average that will be used to identify the trend. A good starting point is 10 days.
* **Candlestick Patterns:** The candlestick patterns that will be used to identify potential reversals in the trend. Some of the most common candlestick patterns include the bullish engulfing pattern, the bearish engulfing pattern, the hammer pattern, and the inverted hammer pattern.
* **Support and Resistance Levels:** The support and resistance levels that will be used to manage risk. These levels can be identified using a variety of technical indicators, such as the moving average, the Bollinger bands, and the Fibonacci retracement levels.
Here is how the strategy will work:
1. The moving average will be used to identify the trend. When the price is above the moving average, it is considered to be in an uptrend. When the price is below the moving average, it is considered to be in a downtrend.
2. Candlestick patterns will be used to identify potential reversals in the trend. If a bullish candlestick pattern appears in an uptrend, it could be a sign that the trend is about to continue. If a bearish candlestick pattern appears in a downtrend, it could be a sign that the trend is about to reverse.
MACD Higher TimeFrameThis Pine script is an indicator called "MACD Higher TimeFrame" that calculates and displays the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on a higher timeframe. It is designed to be used on a lower timeframe chart but show the MACD values from a specified higher timeframe.
The indicator takes several inputs, including the fast length, slow length, source data, signal smoothing length, and the types of moving averages to be used for the MACD and signal lines. The default values are set to 12, 26, the closing price, 9, and exponential moving averages (EMA) for both lines, respectively. These inputs can be modified by the user.
The script calculates the MACD and signal lines based on the specified inputs and the source data. It uses the `init_ma` function to initialize the moving average calculation based on the selected moving average type (EMA or SMA) and length.
To display the MACD and signal lines from the higher timeframe, the script utilizes the `request.security` function, fetching the values of MACD and signal lines one bar ago on the higher timeframe. It handles any gaps in data and lookahead considerations.
The script also includes a function called `int_htf_fillna`, which handles the filling of `na` (not available) values for the higher timeframe indicators. It ensures that the indicator values are carried forward if they are not available for a particular bar.
To enhance the visualization, the script includes customizable colors for the MACD line, signal line, and histogram bars. The histogram bars are styled using the `plot.style_columns` option, and their color is determined by the `color_handle_ducplicate_value` function. This function checks for duplicate values and assigns colors based on whether the indicator is rising or falling, and whether it is above or below zero.
The script also includes a zero line (color #787B86) to provide a visual reference for the zero level.
Overall, this Pine script allows users to view the MACD indicator from a higher timeframe on a lower timeframe chart, providing insights into the broader market trend.
Bull / Bear Market RegimeBull / Bear Market Regime
Instructions:
- A simple risk on or risk off indicator based on CBOE's Implied Correlation and VIX to highlight and indicate Bull / Bear Markets. To be used with the S&P500 index as that's the source from where the CBOE calculates and measures implied volatility & implied correlation. Can also be used with the other indices such as: Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq, & Nasdaq100, & Index ETF's such as DIA, SPY, QQQ, etc.
- Know the active regime, see the larger picture using the Daily or Weekly view, and visualize the current "Risk On (Bull) or Risk Off (Bear)" environment.
Description:
- Risk On and Risk Off simplified & visualized. Know if we are in a RISK ON or RISK OFF environment (Bull or Bear Market). (Absolute bottoms and tops will occur BEFORE a Risk On (Bull Market) or Risk Off (Bear Market) environment is confirmed!) This indicator is not meant to bottom tick or uptick market price action, but to show the active regime.
- Green: Bull Market, Risk On, low volatility, and low risk.
- Red: Bear Market, Risk Off, high volatility, and higher risk.
Buy & Sell Indicators (DAILY time frame)
- Nothing is 100% guaranteed! Can be used for short to medium term trades at the users discretion in BEAR MARKETS!!
- These signals are meant to be used during a RISK OFF / BEAR MARKET environment that tends to be accompanied with high volatility. A Risk on / Bull Market environment tends to have low volatility and endless rallies, so the signals will differ and in most instances not apply for Bull market / Risk on regime.
- The SELL signal will more often than not signal that a pullback is near in a BULL market and that a BMR-Bear Market Rally is almost over in a BEAR market.
- The BUY signal will have far more accuracy in a BEAR market-high volatility environment and can Identify short-term and major bottoms.
Always use proper sizing and risk management!

Global Yield SpreadThe Global Yield Spread is a simple indicator that can help to identify economic wellbeing and thus allows traders and investors alike to derive a rough estimation onto where the market is likely to go.
----------
Please note that things like Yield Spread generally influence the market only over longer time horizons of a couple weeks to many months.
Also be aware that the Yield Spread is only capable of measuring the Yields on Bonds and is thus limited to only changes that are reflected in the interest rates on the Bonds.
----------
The Normal Yield Spread is widely recognized for it's signal abilities for recessions or general economic well being...
However, since the rates have decreased drastically in the US something else has been proposed: The Global Yield Spread
As the normal US Yield Spread is loosing signal capacity because the US government can easily borrow money from overseas,
thus reducing the need to increase interest rates.
By monitoring and analyzing the Global Yield spread, traders and investors can gain insights into relative valuations, economic movements, market sentiment, and opportunities.
It can help inform their investment decisions and strategies, allowing them to allocate capital more effectively and potentially generate better returns.
You have options to visually represent a diversity of Countries and their according Yield Spreads.
Furthermore there are Global Yield Spreads for:
10Y-03MY
10Y-02Y
30Y-10Y
The Average Global Yield Spread encompasses the 3 options above to get an average reading.
Flag FinderFlag Finder Indicator is a technical analysis tool to identify bull and bear flags.
What are flags
Flags are continuation patterns that occur within the general trend of the security. A bull flag represents a temporary pause or consolidation before price resumes it's upward movement, while a bear flag occurs before price continues its downward movement.
Both flag patterns consist of two components:
The Pole
The Flag
The pole is the initial strong upward surge or decline that precedes the flag. The pole is usually a fast move accompanied by heavy volume signaling significant buying or selling pressure.
The flag is then formed as price consolidates after the initial surge or decline from the pole. For a bull flag price will drift slightly downward to sideways, a bear flag will drift upward to sideways. The best flags often see volume dry up during this phase of the pattern.
Indicator Settings
Both components are fully customizable in the indicator so the user can adjust for any time frame or volatility. Select the minimum and maximum accepted limits from the % gain loss required for the pole, the maximum acceptable flag depth or rally and the minimum and maximum number of bars for each component.
Colors and what components are visible at any time are also user controlled.
Trading flags
Traders typically use flags to enter on breakouts. A breakout occurs when price moves above the left side high of a bull flag or below the left side low of a bear flag.
Alerts
The Flag Finder allows for four different types of alerts
New Bull Flag
New Bear Flag
Bull Flag Breakout
Bear Flag Breakout
Pine Script
On top of the indicator identifying bull and bear flags, throughout the source code I left notes on nearly every line to help anyone who is interested in pine script see my thought process and explain which each line of code does.

Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator.The "Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator." indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify and display key price levels on a chart. It utilizes the concept of Order Blocks and the Fractal Value Zone (FVG) to highlight potential support and resistance areas in the market.
The indicator marks bearish and bullish Order Blocks, which are significant price structures characterized by consecutive higher highs and higher lows for a bearish block, or consecutive lower lows and lower highs for a bullish block. These blocks suggest potential areas of market reversal.
Additionally, the indicator calculates and displays retracement and extension levels within each Order Block. These levels are derived from the previous highest and lowest values within a specified number of candles. The retracement levels include 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%, while the extension levels include 138.2%, 150%, and 161.8%.
Furthermore, the Fractal Value Zone (FVG) is determined to identify the highest high and lowest low within the selected number of candles. The FVG helps identify areas of significant price action and potential breakout zones.
Overall, the "Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator." indicator assists traders in identifying potential support and resistance levels, as well as areas of market reversal or breakout. It can be used to make informed trading decisions based on key price levels within the observed price action.
ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.

CE - Market Performance TableThe 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓽 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓣𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 is a sophisticated market tool designed to provide valuable insights into the current market trends and the approximate current position in the Macroeconomic Regime.
Furthermore the 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓽 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓣𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 provides the Correlation Implied Trend for the Asset on the Chart. Lastly it provides information about current "RISK ON" or "RISK OFF" periods.
Methodology:
𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓽 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓣𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 tracks the 15 underlying Stock ETF's to identify their performance and puts the combined performances together to visualize 42MACRO's GRID Equity Model.
For this it uses the below ETF's:
Dividends (SPHD)
Low Beta (SPLV)
Quality (QUAL)
Defensives (DEF)
Growth (IWF)
High Beta (SPHB)
Cyclicals (IYT, IWN)
Value (IWD)
Small Caps (IWM)
Mid Caps (IWR)
Mega Cap Growth (MGK)
Size (OEF)
Momentum (MTUM)
Large Caps (IWB)
Overall Settings:
The main time values you want to change are:
Correlation Length
- Defines the time horizon for the Correlation Table
ROC Period
- Defines the time horizon for the Performance Table
Normalization lookback
- Defines the time horizon for the Trend calculation of the ETF's
- For longer term Trends over weeks or months a length of 50 is usually pretty accurate
Visuals:
There is a variety of options to change the visual settings of what is being plotted and the two table positions and additional considerations.
Everything that is relevant in the underlying logic that can help comprehension can be visualized with these options.
Market Correlation:
The Market Correlation Table takes the Correlation of the above ETF's to the Asset on the Chart, it furthermore uses the Normalized KAMA Oscillator by IkkeOmar to analyse the current trend of every single ETF.
It then Implies a Correlation based on the Trend and the Correlation to give a probabilistically adjusted expectation for the future Chart Asset Movement. This is strengthened by taking the average of all Implied Trends.
With this the Correlation Table provides valuable insights about probabilistically likely Movement of the Asset, for Traders and Investors alike, over the defined time duration.
Market Performance:
𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓽 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓣𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 is the actual valuable part of this Indicator.
It provides valuable information about the current market environment (whether it's risk on or risk off), the rough GRID models from 42MACRO and the actual market performance.
This allows you to obtain a deeper understanding of how the market works and makes it simple to identify the actual market direction.
Utility:
The 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓽 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓣𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 is divided in 4 Sections which are the GRID regimes:
Economic Growth:
Goldilocks
Reflation
Economic Contraction:
Inflation
Deflation
Top 5 Equity Style Factors:
Are the values green for a specific Column? If so then the market reflects the corresponding GRID behavior.
Bottom 5 Equity Style Factors:
Are the values red for a specific Column? If so then the market reflects the corresponding GRID behavior.
So if we have Goldilocks as current regime we would see green values in the Top 5 Goldilocks Cells and red values in the Bottom 5 Goldilocks Cells.
You will find that Reflation will look similar, as it is also a sign of Economic Growth.
Same is the case for the two Contraction regimes.
Webby's RS LineThe Relative Strength (RS) line is something many investors are familiar with. It is used to measure a stocks performance versus the S&P 500 and is typically calculated by dividing the closing price of the stock by the closing price of the S&P. This means if a stock moves up and the S&P moves down or the stock moves up more than the S&P the RS line will increase, if the stock moves down while the S&P moves up the line will decrease.
While the standard RS line is a powerful tool, Mike Webster recently discussed how he has made changes to the standard RS line and also uses a 21 exponential moving average of the RS line to help guide his decision making. This script puts those new twists on the standard RS line, by first calculating the RS line using the low of both the security and the S&P rather than the closing prices. Next it measures the 21-day exponential moving average of the RS line and plots the distance between the two as a histogram.
A strong trending stock that is out performing the market will see an extended period of a positive blue histogram signifying the RS line is above the 21-ema.
While on the other hand a stock in a downtrend that is underperforming will see a negative red histogram a red histogram signifying the RS line is below the 21-ema.
On top of all of that, the indicator also keeps 3 & 13 exponential moving average of the distance between the RS line and the 21 ema to help identify shorter term relative strength and capture more immediate shifts in momentum. Both of those are plotted on the histogram as well and will change color as they rise and fall making it easy to spot the direction.
Indicator options include:
Choose symbol to measure performance against
Change histogram colors
Choose ema line width
* Note this indicator does not plot the actual RS line, it is the histogram representing the distance between the RS line calculated using the lows and the 21 ema, as well as the two ema's of the relationship.
Intraday trading period indicatorI have created this indicator because I was in a need of simple indication of personal session time for my backtesting while practicing intraday Futures trading.
How it works:
1. Define your timezone.
2. Set Trading session start/end time.
3. Choose the colour you want to see your intraday session in.
Actual result: Your selected session is displayed with selected colour and within selected time period. Your are good to go.
It is not perfect for sure but it does what it needs to do and I think it is awesome.
Hope it will be useful for you and let the Profit be with you!
