UCS_Price Action Normalized VolatilityFor Stock, Futures and Forex traders this may not be a replacement for MACD . But for an Option Trader, this would make sense 1000 times.
So, What is this?
This is the MACD for OPTIONS traders, remove the smoothness and adjust for volatility . Thats all it is.
Why is it important?
No one, ABSOLUTELY no one should be buying options in high volatility period for a long haul. So, this indicator takes that out of your guess work and only spits out price movement with relation to volatility .
You can use this exactly like a MACD for any options ( aka , volatility driven market).
Few things I have added, since I created and used it privately.
1. Chop Zone - Trade the Extremes of any Product
2. Buyers Zone - Shorts reconsider
3. Sellers Zone - Longs reconsider
Why did I create this?
Volatility dictates the market movement. That is an indepth conversation. If you are curious you can research on how shorts are squeezed, what are market makers obligations, how they maintain profitability. How NITE got burned, are some starting point for your own research.
So, if you are an options trader, I highly recommend to use this/test it and share your thoughts and how you use it.
- Good Luck Everyone.

UCS - Sector RatingPreviously I have posted Index Rating Indicator to help gauge the strong and weak index.
Now Its the Sectors.
This should help you choose sectors / Stocks within sectors, regardless of being a trend trader or contrarian. i.e. Trading with Strength or Against it.
Notice, At the time of me posting it.
The rally is supported heavily by XLK (TECH) and XLV - (BioTECH). Weakness from there would push the market down. Some cases the sectors rotate as well.
All In All, I use this to quickly pick stocks that are from stronger sectors to play pullbacks, or huge rally to play contrarian.
------------------------- YES I play both sides ------------------
One Last Information
Markets are classified into 3 Segments, Cyclical, Sensitive and Stable.
Stable - XLU, XLP, XLV
Sensitive - XLI, XLK, XLB
Cyclical - XLF, XLY, XLE
Knowing where the market money is flowing gives you a good edge.
Later I will post the composition of Sectors and the Markets Combined Strength Index measured through Sectors soon I figure out a way to make it presentable.
- Enjoy trading.
UCS_Trader Pressure Indicator -V1Welcoming everyone to a simple Indicator. I have used the volume of a stock to establish how commited the market for that particular ticker is when it comes to a direction.
The idea behind the indicator is how much of commitment there is towards a move.
*** This indicator is non directional*** ie., It just measures the commitment behind a move.
Why is it important.
Let's say we have a uptrending stock with low commitment (pressure), the bounce on any pullback will not be able carry that any further. So the pressure on the Pullback could drop the stock below and add additional risk. Only for us to wish and think, we checked that previously.
Essentially, If a Trend is being established with a strong pressure (VOLUME BASED). It is more likely to continue.
How you would use this is upto you. But general ideas in Some of these snapshots.
Concluding -
The trend in combination with TPI - Stronger Trend.
In such stronger trends - A pullback (oppsing the trend) have higher probability to bounce.
NOTE - Experiement with the indicator and Trade at your own risk This is a tool, not a system.
Feedbacks are welcome and will be considered for improvement.
Best Wishes
UCS_S_Stochastic Pop and Drop StrategyMy Contribution to Jake Bernstein Educational Series, Initiated by Chris Moody.
The Stochastic Pop was developed by Jake Bernstein and modified by David Steckler. Bernstein's original Stochastic Pop is a trading strategy that identifies price pops when the Stochastic Oscillator surges above 80. Steckler modified this strategy by adding conditional filters using the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the weekly Stochastic Oscillator.
Modifications
1. Weekly Stochastic Oscillator for Trading Bias = 5* Daily Stochastic
2. Optional Volume Confirmation, Custom Average Volume Length
Future Plans
1. Adding Triggers for Entry, Stops and Target. - This will be release when we have ability to code the complete Strategy. Although it can be done with the current pinescript options, it would be far more easier if we have strategy ability.

UCS_S_Steve Primo - Strategy #8Hello Fellas,
Hope you are trading fantastic and fine. Here is another setup from Steve Primo (Stocks) Setups. He claims this can be applied on any market, and you can. Primarily focused on Stocks and Futures market.
NOTE : I DID CODE THE BOTTOM INDICATOR, NOT PUBLISHING IT, ITS JUST RSI(5)
What did I change, ofcourse I don't publish what I find, There is a bit of me in the codes.....
1. Setup only shows up at meaningful levels, Stringent Filter
Myself and tradearcher will keep this upto date. As he has volenteered to help with the track record of steve primo strategies.

This is more like catching a freight train after a mini pullback.
AGAIN, This is not a holy grail, but this fits my personality of trading, Buying pullbacks on stronger stocks. Because it is harder to get a UCS_momo_Oscillator to signal a setup, primarily because of the smoothing, you can use this as an alternative to catch the excitement trade.
Do not sit on it for more than T+4 days, Unless another setup triggered in your way.
Rule - Buy/Sell the candle breakout next day after the setup - in the direction it is setting up
- Close the Position @ 100% candle extension or RSI Oversold.

Developed and used to win trading competitions around the world, the Hoffman Inventory Retracement Trade is quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to identify where short-term counter trend institutional inventory has subsided and when it’s time to re-enter into a trade’s original trend direction.
I have not included the TREND condition.

UCS_Murrey's Math Oscillator_V2Hello, Murrey Math lovers, Thanks for those who showed interest on this. Based on a request, I have updated the plot / candle coloring, for Version - 2.
This has been in the queue for a while.
There was a Glitch found with the Multiplier. Will Fix in the next version. The Current Version (and the previous version) only supports 1/8 fractions. Will not support 0.25. The code needs to be updated, to automate the fractal line glitches for other ratios, Planned for future update.
Good Luck and Enjoy the Colorful Oscillator. Please keep your suggestions flowing. Lets make it better.
UCS_Murrey's Math OscillatorThis is a new indicator release, Using the principle of Murrey Math Line Trading Systems. It will be easier for someone to add alerts on an oscillator rather than a overlay.
Currently, I did add some aesthetics for those who like to view different colors, can be turned off.
Oscillator Color Definition -
Green = Above MidLine
Red = Below Midline
Blue = Below Negative 3rd Quadrant
Orange = Above Positive 3rd Quadrant
/////////
Planned future Improvement is to consider Wicks as well.
Do post your opinions and any improvement.
