Session LiquidityThe “Session Liquidity” TradingView indicator by Infinity Trading creates dynamic horizontal lines at the high and low points of a specified time span within the trading day. This indicator gives the user control of three separate time spans so the user can dynamically see the highs and lows of their favorite daily time spans.
Purpose
This indicator is similar to my TradingView indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0”. In that indicator the user gets control of dynamic price boxes. For me, these boxes made it difficult to spot ICT’s Orderblocks. So instead of boxes I made independently controllable lines and now I can spot ICT Orderblocks and easily identify Liquidity Pools.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic lines can but independently configured. Start & End Times, Line Color, Line Style, Line Width, Text Characters, Text Size, Text Color can all be adjusted. The high and low lines as well as their text labels can be individually toggled on or off for maximum control.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each time span line needs a specific start of each day. This is controlled by a setting called “Line Start Day Timezone” where the user sets a timezone that corresponds with the start time. In general if a timespan resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If the Line Start Time is within one candle of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won’t display. So choose the previous timezone
Lines only display when the timeframe is <= 30 minute

R:R Trading System FrameworkFirst off, huge thanks to @fikira! He was able to adapt what I built to work much more efficiently, allowing for more strategies to be used simultaneously. Simply put, I could not have gotten to this point without you. Thanks for what you do for the TV community. Second, I am fairly new to pinescript writing, so I welcome criticism, thoughtful input and improvement suggestions. I would love to grow this concept into something even better, if possible. So please let me know if you have any ideas for improvement. However I do juggle a lot of different things outside of TV, so implementations may be delayed.
I have decided, at this time, not to add alerts. First, because I feel most people looking to adapt this framework can add their own pretty easily. Also, given how customized the framework is currently, while also attempting to account for all the possible ways in which people may want alerts to function after they customize it, it seems best to leave them out as it doesn't exactly fit the idea of a framework.
For best viewing, I recommend hovering over the script's name > ... > Visual order > Bring to front. Also I found hollow candles with mono-toned colors (like pictured) are more visually appealing for me personally. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING WITH BAR REPLAY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FRAMEWORK'S FUNCTIONALITY.
▶️ WHAT THIS FRAMEWORK IS
- A huge collection of concepts and capabilities for those trying to better understand, learn, or teach pinescript.
- A system designed to showcase Risk:Reward concepts more holistically by providing all of the most popular components of retail trading to include backtesting, trade visual plotting, position tracking, market condition shifts, and useful info while positioned to help highlight changes in your risk:reward based decision-making processes.
- A system that can showcase individual strategies regardless of trade direction, allowing you to develop hedging strategies without having multiple indicators that do not correlate with each other.
- Designed around the idea that you trade less numbers of assets but manage your positions and risk based on multiple concurrently running strategies to manage your risk exposure and reward potential.
- An attempt to combine all the things you need to execute with an active trading management style.
- A framework that uses backtested results (in this case the number of averaged bars it takes to hit key levels) in real-time to inform your risk:reward decision-making while in-trade (in this case in your Trade Tracking Table using dynamic color to show how you might be early, on-time, or late compared to the average amount of backtested time it normally takes to hit that specific key level).
▶️ WHAT THIS FRAMEWORK IS NOT
- A complete trading product. DO NOT USE as-is. It is a FRAMEWORK for you to generate ideas of your own and fairly easily implement your own triggering conditions in the appropriate sections of the script.
▶️ USE CASES
- If you decide you like the Stop, Target, Trailing Stop, and Risk:Reward components as-is, then just understanding how to plug in your Entry and Bullish / Bearish conditions (Triangles) and adjust the input texts to match your custom naming will be all you need to make it your own!
- If you want to adapt certain components, then this system gives you a great starting point to adapt your different concepts and ideas from.
▶️ SYSTEM COMPONENTS
- Each of the system's components are described via tooltips both in the input menu and in the tables' cells.
- Each label on the chart displays the corresponding price at those triggered conditions on hover with tooltips.
- The Trailing Stop only becomes active once it is above the Entry Price for that trade, and brightens to show it is active. The STOP line (right of price) moves once it takes over for the Entry Stop representing the level of the Trailing Stop at that time for that trade.
- The Lines / Labels to the right of price will brighten once price is above for Longs or below for Shorts. The Trade Tracking Table cells will add ☑️ once price is above for Longs or below for Shorts.
- The brighter boxes on the chart show the trades that occurred based on your criteria and are color coded for all components of each trade type to ensure your references are consistent. (Defaults are TV built-in strategies)
- The lighter boxes on the chart show the highest and lowest price levels reached during those trades, to highlight areas where improvements can be made or additional considerations can be accounted for by either adjusting Entry triggers or Bullish / Bearish triggers.
- Default Green and Red Triangles (Bullish / Bearish) default to having the same triggering condition as the Entry it corresponds to. This is to highlight either a pyramiding concept, early exit, or you can change to account for other things occurring during your trades which could help you with Stop and Target management/considerations.
TradingView and many of its community members have done a lot for me, so this is my attempt to give back.

1St Bar GAP+BkOut Screener v2 by RMFirst Bar Gap and subsequent conditions are used as one of the several strategies for Day traders.
This script runs on first bar and checks if the stocks has an initial Gap (up or down), then checks for next bars to be inside the boundaries of the first candle
you can customize this screener according to your requirement. There are a number of very clever people I have taken bits of code and ideas, thanks to you all :)
Used part of this code as published by @PineCoders and Public Libraries. Also add some power query code to help you create the symbols input in the script
Disclaimer: This is not a Financial advisory tool. For education purposes only. * Use at your own risk *
Outline:
gap up/ gap down on 1 min first candle -> good
2nd candle inside 1st candle -> good
3rd to nth candle to break out from first candle range -> good /alert/ Plot flag

----------------------------
█ OVERVIEW
This script is intended to provide a vertical line indicator for the hourly "flips" to easily indicate when the hour turns. Ideally used in timeframes less than an hour.
Input
----------
Hour Color: the color of the line and the text for the hourly indicator
Four Hour Color: the color of the line and the text for the four hour indicator
Show Label Text?: an on/off (active/inactive) flag to display the text (new 30s/60s). I can't figure out how to get a label vertical, so sometimes it gets in the way.
Output
----------
Vertical Dotted Line Indicator: vertical lines that allow a user to quickly see when the hour flips
Hour Flip Labels: quick visual labels with the same color as the lines that will display new 4h/60s/30s
Best Practices
----------
Trading view may limit the number of lines drawn, so probably not best to be use in larger time frames (like days/month worth of data on the chart) for smaller intervals
Best if used for intervals under 30 minutes
DAYOFWEEK performance1 -Objective
"What is the ''best'' day to trade .. Monday, Tuesday...."
This script aims to determine if there are different results depending on the day of the week.
The way it works is by dividing data by day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ... ) and perform calculations for each day of the week.
1 - Objective
2 - Features
3 - How to use (Examples)
4 - Inputs
5 - Limitations

AVG OPEN-CLOSE
Calculate de Percentage change from day open to close
Green % (O-C)
Percentage of days green (open to close)
Average Change
Absolute day change (O-C)
AVG PrevD. Close-Close
Percentage change from the previous day close to the day of the week close
(Example: Monday (C-C) = Friday Close to Monday close
Tuesday (C-C) = Monday C. to Tuesday C.
Green % (C1-C)
Percentage of days green (open to close)
AVG Volume
Day of the week Average Volume
Notes:
*Mon(Nº) - Nº = Number days is currently calculated
Example: Monday (12) calculation based on the last 12 Mondays. Note: Discrepancies in numbers example Monday (12) - Friday (11) depend on the initial/end date or the market was closed (Holidays).
3 - How to use (Examples)
For the following example, NASDAQ:AAPL from 1 Jan 21 to 1 Jul 21 the results are following.
The highest probability of a Close being higher than the Open is Monday with 52.17 % and the Lowest Tuesday with 38.46 %. Meaning that there's a higher chance (for NASDAQ:AAPL ) of closing at a higher value on Monday while the highest chance of closing is lower is Tuesday. With an average gain on Tuesday of 0.21%
Long - The best day to buy (long) at open (on average) is Monday with a 52.2% probability of closing higher
Short - The best day to sell (short) at open (on average) is Tuesday with a 38.5% probability of closing higher (better chance of closing lower)
Since the values change from ticker to ticker, there is a substantial change in the percentages and days of the week. For example let's compare the previous example ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) to NYSE:GM (same settings)
For the same period, there is a substantial difference where there is a 62.5% probability Friday to close higher than the open, while Tuesday there is only a 28% probability.
With an average gain of 0.59% on Friday and an average loss of -0.34%
Also, the size of the table (number of days ) depends if the ticker is traded or not on that day as an example COINBASE:BTCUSD
4 - Inputs
DATE RANGE
Initial Date - Date from which the script will start the calculation.
End Date - Date to which the script will calculate.
TABLE SETTINGS
Text Color - Color of the displayed text
Cell Color - Background color of table cells
Header Color - Color of the column and row names
Table Location - Change the position where the table is located.
Table Size - Changes text size and by consequence the size of the table
5 - LIMITATIONS
The code determines average values based on the stored data, therefore, the range (Initial data) is limited to the first bar time.
As a consequence the lower the timeframe the shorter the initial date can be and fewer weeks can be calculated. To warn about this limitation there's a warning text that appears in case the initial date exceeds the bar limit.
Example with initial date 1 Jan 2021 and end date 18 Jul 2021 in 5m and 10 m timeframe:
6 - Notes and Disclosers
The script can be moved around to a new pane if need. -> Object Tree > Right Click Script > Move To > New pane
The code has not been tested in higher subscriptions tiers that allow for more bars and as a consequence more data, but as far I can tell, it should work without problems and should be in fact better at lower timeframes since it allows more weeks.
The values displayed represent previous data and at no point is guaranteed future values
7 - Final Tooughs
This script was quite fun to work on since it analysis behavioral patterns (since from an abstract point a Tuesday is no different than a Thursday), but after analyzing multiple tickers there are some days that tend to close higher than the open.
PS: If you find any mistake ex: code/misspelling please comment.
Contextual Moving AveragesThis indicator customizes moving averages, allowing you to show or hide them on specific timeframes.
Lets say you want to show MA8 on the 5m timeframe but not on the Daily timeframe , now you can!
You can also timeframe lock a moving average and see it on the other timeframes, for example: You would like to see the Daily MA20 on the all other timeframes.
If you think that the indicator parameters texts are too long when viewing charts, right click on the indicator name and unclick "Show Indicator Arguments"
Trend ChannelMarket engineers can use channels to find out when a market has entered an undervalued or overvalued zone. Purchases and sales take place in these zones. Professionals use trending channels to find out when the market has overtaken itself and where it is likely to reverse.
Upper channel line = EMA + EMA x channel coefficient
Lower channel line = EMA - EMA x channel coefficient
The topline reflects the bulls' strength in raising prices above the average value consensus. This line marks the normal limit of optimism in the market.
The bottom line of the channel reflects the strength of the bears pushing prices below the average consensus of values. This line marks the normal limit of pessimism in the market.
The coefficient is used to correct the distance to the moving average until the channel contains 95% of all prices. Only the tips and the lowest bottoms are allowed to protrude. For these peaks and curves and sideways trends, I have added two more switchable lines to the border lines, with a distance of 23.6% (light blue).
The larger the time frame, the wider the channel.
If you buy near a rising moving average, you take profits near the upper line of the channel.
If you are short near a falling moving average, you should close out near the bottom of the channel.
If the moving average is essentially flat, then you should be long on the bottom of the channel and short on the top of the channel. You realize profits when the prices have returned to their moving average to normal.
Interesting for day traders:
Adjust the moving average so that it has the same slope as the quotes on the hourly chart. With the coefficient you set the distance between the border lines. Perhaps adding the 23.6% lines will help, where the sideways trends are starting. Set the resolution to "1 hour". If you want to trade with these settings in short time units, e.g. in the 3 minute chart or in the 1 minute chart, then you now have target marks and indications in which direction the prices will possibly move when the prices have reached the moving average or one of the border lines.
The text contains excerpts from "Come into my Trading Room" by Dr. Alexander Elder.
The indicator has an additional exponential moving average with adjustable period, adjustable shift and adjustable source for the narrow range of quotations and final determination of direction.
The chart shows how the trend channel and the Fibonacc trading indicator can complement each other.

Markttechniker können Kanäle verwenden um heraus zu finden, wann ein Markt eine unterbewertete oder überbewertete Zone erreicht hat. An diesen Zonen finden Käufe und Verkäufe statt. Profis benutzen Trendkanäle um herauszufinden, wann der Markt sich selbst überholt hat und wo er wahrscheinlich eine Umkehrbewegung vollziehen wird.
Obere Kanallinie = EMA + EMA x Kanalkoeffizient
Untere Kanallinie = EMA - EMA x Kanalkoeffizient
Die Oberlinie reflektiert die Kraft der Bullen, mit der sie die Kurse über den durchschnittlichen Wertekonsens anheben. Diese Linie kennzeichnet die normale Grenze des Optimismus im Markt.
Die untere Linie des Kanals reflektiert die Kraft der Bären, mit der sie die Kurse unter den durchschnittlichen Wertekonsens drücken. Diese Linie kennzeichnet die normale Grenze des Pessimismus im Markt.
Mit dem Koeffizienten wird der Abstand zum gleitenden Durchschnitt so lange korrigiert, bis der Kanal 95% aller Kurse enthält. Lediglich die Spitzen und die niedrigsten Böden dürfen herausragen. Für diese Spitzen und Bögen und Seitwärtstrends habe ich zu den Grenzlinien zwei weitere zuschaltbare Linien, mit einem Abstand von 23,6%, hinzugefügt (hellblau).
Je größer der Zeitrahmen ist, um so breiter ist der Kanal.
Wenn Sie in der Nähe eines ansteigenden gleitenden Durchschnitts kaufen, nehmen Sie die Gewinne in der Nähe der oberen Grenzlinie des Kanals mit.
Wenn Sie in der Nähe eines fallenden gleitenden Durchschnitts leerverkaufen, sollten Sie in der Nähe der unteren Grenzlinie des Kanals glattstellen.
Wenn der gleitende Durchschnitt im Wesentlichen flach ist, dann sollten Sie an der unteren Kanalbegrenzung eine Long-Position und an der oberen Kanalbegrenzung eine Short-Position einnehmen. Gewinne realisieren Sie jeweils, wenn die Kurse zu ihrem gleitenden Durchschnitt, zur Normalität zurückgekehrt sind.
Für Daytrader interessant:
Stellen Sie den gleitenden Durchschnitt so ein, dass er die gleiche Steigung wie die Notierungen im Stunden-Chart hat. Mit dem Koeffizienten Stellen Sie den Abstand der Grenzlinien ein. Vielleicht hilft die Zuschaltung der 23,6%-Linien, wo die Seitwärtstrends anstoßen. Stellen Sie die Auflösung auf „1 Stunde“. Wenn Sie mit diesen Einstellungen in niedrigen Zeiteinheiten traden wollen, z.B. im 3 Minuten-Chart oder im 1 Minuten-Chart, dann haben Sie jetzt Zielmarken und Hinweise in welche Richtung die Notierungen möglicherweise laufen werden, wenn die Notierungen den gleitenden Durchschnitt oder eine der Grenzlinien erreicht haben.

Developing Range v1.0Developing Range v1.0
----------------------------
Azimuth Dynamics
Scalping tool for help finding potentially high probability reactive levels. I suggest using on a 5min chart.
GRAY BAND: yesterday's High-Low range
BLUE BAND: today's Developing Range. Mean of today's High-Low range so far and yesterday's High-Low range, this is calculated for each of today's bars
THIN BLUE LINE: the mean of today's range median and yesterday's range median.
Note: we do not use the DAILY bar via 'security()' to obtain today's high and low. This would essentially be forward looking, instead we use iteration to check from the current bar back to midnight, bar by bar. This then allows a developing range to be established as the day prints new highs and lows.
Inspired by volatility trading textbook.
Any MA bands (TMA bands V2)Hi everyone
Website will be opening very shortly :) Sorting out the last details and we're so excited to finally roll-out our different Algorithm Builders for you guys
Forewords
This present script is an evolution of the TMA bands . I would never have expected that script to become so popular to be honest
This is not only a study or idea but a really proven method and I'm glad that many of you are using it already. But please, whenever you see a new script out there, even if it looks cool and promising, please test it on a demo account for a week or on a LIVE account but with tiny amounts every time.
Many times, what you see on the chart is not what will happen in reality. I know that most of you will agree and I know exactly why we see this behavior... I'll give more details in a later post
I have plenty of methods like that one and I'll detail them on my website (and a bit on TradingView) starting next month
TMA bands on steroids
Someone asked me privately to make a generic version of the TMA bands and make it compatible with other standards Moving Average types. That's it for the specifications really as I didn't do much than re-using some piece of my own code
Suggested (but not mandatory) methodology
1) The Take Profit 1 is the middle line, Take Profit 2 is the opposite band.
2) Once the TP1 is hit, set your Stop Loss to breakeven
3) Once the TP2 is hit, if you still want to stay in the trade, set your Stop Loss to the TP1
It will be a powerful tool in your arsenal for some scalp/intraday trades
Wishing you all of you a great and profitable day
PS
It's strictly forbidden to republish this script without my explicit approval. All my posts are copyrighted from now on
Obviously you can use but not republish and get the credit or even worse... some money from your own clients

Trend Direction Helper (ZigZag and S/R and HH/LL labels)Hey everyone
First of all, I'd like to thank Ricardo Santos, Backtest Rookies for the inspiration for this script.
Actually, most of it is coming from them and I only mixed them up (and added my secret sauce ^^). If some of you are not thinking about a trading secret sauce, please get serious for a moment :)
Some of you asked me how I do to set the trend direction. You all understood that if you get an UP label, then the price should go up and vice-versa for down.
But it's not so easy to define the good signals for each asset and each timeframe. I'm going to repeat what I said yesterday because ... well... that's what trading is about
So quoting myself here "The inputs set by default will have to be changed for your asset/timeframe and can't be generic for everything. You have to play with the inputs until the signals will make sense to you
The indicator/strategy with a unique configuration that you'll never check or update according to the market condition DOES NOT exit. "
BUT... a bit of patience and practice and you might do wonders.
The Method
I never realized until now but by connecting the higher highs/lower lows, I was drawing zigzag lines.
The Zig Zag Master is Ricardo Santos . Please give him a follow, he's awesome
For those who don't want to draw on the chart or (my preferred choice) need some inspiration to define your trend directions, this script is for YOU (and your family, your pet, your girlfriend/boyfriend, ...)
I think that each asset/timeframe chart has its own history. What worked in a post could work in the future.
In that regard, if a trend direction worked in the past, that's the parameter that I'll use to trade with it in a demo account and make sure it's relevant. If not then I will adjust
If you're trading with new indicators or a new method right away on your real trading account, you're gonna have a bad time imgflip.com
Lines EVERYWHERE
The script draws the classical horizontal pivots + the zig zag lines + the Higher Highs/Lower Lows label in just 1 script. I'm very excited to share a script (on which I coded 100 lines out of 500) but no one else did it
The horizontal pivots part are coming from Backtest Rookies
For more security, you can add a pullback on a moving average after getting a signal. Pullbacks are necessary to limit any eventual loss or maximize your gains by getting in the trend sooner.
I really give you a solid method and a great script in my opinion. 6 years of experience given away for FREE :p (when Dave will start thinking as a business man instead :O)
Does it repaint ?
Getting this question twice a day. You guys are obsessed with the repainting :)
Short answer, yes because it will calculate the pivots and zig zags whenever new higher highs/lower lows will be formed.
However, the trend direction code is based on the candle close so it shouldn't repaint. If it does, please let me know
See you all on Monday
Love you all
Dave

CCI Stochastic and a quick lesson on Scalping & Trading SystemsHello traders
Still on holidays but I don't and will never forget you <3
I realize more and more that you guys don't only want some indicators and learn about pinescript. You also want some guidance and get some mentors providing you with comprehensive and simple trading methods and tricks.
I'm against those posting many scripts a day that in the end will make you lose your money because they don't give you the methodology to use them
It might look nice on the charts but we're not here to do some painting.... but to improve our lifestyle right :)
The today indicator is based on an indicator that I used for scalping : Fxcodebase CCI Stochastic
A CCI stochastic is very reactive and allows us to take many scalps trades per day with a few pips/USD gain for each trade. I don't recommend novice traders to use it and I strongly recommend everyone reading my disclaimer below basically saying "I'm not a financial advisor, don't be dumb, stay safe"
(I also recommend the few scripts copy-pasters to read my disclaimer as well)
What's a novice trader, sir? Well... thanks for asking. A novice trader is any trader with less than 5 years of live trading experience
From a pinescript perspective, this script will be however interesting for everyone :)
How to use it?
The indicator gives 3 possible entries for Longs and Shorts:
- Arrows at Enter - Will give signals whenever the Stoch CCI will enter in the BUY/SELL zone
- Arrows at Exit - Will give signals whenever the Stoch CCI will exit the BUY/SELL zone
- Arrows at Center - Signals whenever the Stoch CCI will cross the mid-line (50)
All arrows have different colors because ... painting is cool and nice.... kidding.... it gives clearer and more readable signals on the chart (but painting sir...)
A possible trading method could be to use the 3 modes at the same time to get the maximum of opportunities.
The safer bet is to use the "Arrows at Exit" only mode but for those who want to accumulate more scalping positions, adding the "Arrows at Enter" mode is an option as well. In other words, you accumulate a few scalping positions whenever the Stoch CCI get in the BUY/SELL zone and will stop accumulating whenever it will exit the BUY/SELL zone
You can add a few extra positions whenever the Stoch CCI will cross the mid-line as it often translates in a trend continuation
Life hack
Very important note : (probably the most important gem I shared until now) The inputs set by default will have to be changed for your asset/timeframe and can't be generic for everything. You have to play with the inputs until the signals will make sense to you
The indicator/strategy with a unique configuration that you'll never check or update according to the market condition DOES NOT exit.
If you find such a tool and prove me that you're making constant gains with it over a year, please patent it and then show it to me as I'd like to study it to replicate :) But most likely this is a myth/unicorn
Who I am to say this? Well, I worked in a Bank with real traders and I have a good sense of what works and what will certainly not work
My guru said scalping crypto in 1 second timeframe was the way to get rich quick. Do you agree sir?
But in trading, this is not because you take the maximum of trades possible that your gains will increase. This is the contrary.
There is a strong and proven inverse correlation between the number of trades taken and how fast you'll burn your capital. A swing trader taking 2/3 trades a month is more likely to beat 99% of the scalpers out there trying to predict all market movements. (and I'm not even talking about how dangerous it is to scalp with leverage)
You're starting to know me a bit more right now. I prefer to tell you what you need to hear vs what you want to hear because the second option doesn't allow to stay in the game very long.
I might lose some futures clients along the way by saying that but for my own conscience and ethics, I prefer to warn about the true risks of trading and to select who you listen very carefully (the advice also works for me, if you feel what I said doesn't make sense, this is totally your right but I hope this is because I'm french and not because of the content ^^).
See you tomorrow for another indicator or idea
Love you all
Dave

Multi SMA EMA WMA HMA BB (4x3 MAs Bollinger Bands) Pro MTF - RRBMulti SMA EMA WMA HMA 4x3 Moving Averages with Bollinger Bands Pro MTF by RagingRocketBull 2018
Version 1.0
This indicator shows multiple MAs of any type SMA EMA WMA HMA etc with BB and MTF support, can show MAs as dynamically moving levels.
There are 4 MA groups + 1 BB group. You can assign any type/timeframe combo to a group, for example:
- EMAs 50,100,200 x H1, H4, D1, W1 (4 TFs x 3 MAs x 1 type)
- EMAs 8,13,21,55,100,200 x M15, H1 (2 TFs x 6 MAs x 1 type)
- D1 EMAs and SMAs 12,26,50,100,200,400 (1 TF x 6 MAs x 2 types)
- H1 WMAs 7,77,231; H4 HMAs 50,100,200; D1 EMAs 144,169,233; W1 SMAs 50,100,200 (4 TFs x 3 MAs x 4 types)
- +1 extra MA type/timeframe for BB
compile time: 25-30 sec
full redraw time after parameter change in UI: 3 sec
There are several versions: Simple, MTF, Pro MTF, Advanced MTF and Ultimate MTF. This is the Pro MTF version. The Differences are listed below. All versions have BB
- Simple: you have 2 groups of MAs that can be assigned any type (5+5)
- MTF: +2 custom Timeframes for each group (2x5 MTF)
- Pro MTF: +4 custom Timeframes for each group (4x3 MTF), MA levels and show max bars back options
- Advanced MTF: +2 extra MAs/group (4x5 MTF), custom Ticker/Symbol, backreferences for type, TF and MA lengths in UI
- Ultimate MTF: +individual settings for each MA, custom Ticker/Symbols
Features:
- 4x3 = 12 MAs of any type including Hull Moving Average (HMA)
- 4x MTF groups with step line smoothing
- BB +1 extra TF/type for BB MAs
- 12 MA levels with adjustable group offsets, indents and shift
- show max bars back
- you can show/hide both groups of MAs/levels and individual MAs
Notes:
1. based on 3EmaBB, uses plot*, barssince and security functions
2. you can't set certain constants from input due to Pinescript limitations - change the code as needed, recompile and use as a private version
3. Levels = trackprice implementation
4. Show Max Bars Back = show_last implementation
5. uses timeframe textbox instead of input resolution to allow for 120 240 and other custom TFs. Also supports TFs in hours: 2H or H2
6. swma has a fixed length = 4, alma and linreg have additional offset and smoothing params
7. Smoothing is applied by default for visual aesthetics on MTF. To use exact ma mtf values (lines with stair stepping) - disable it
MTF Notes:
- uses simple timeframe textbox instead of input resolution dropdown to allow for 120, 240 and other custom TFs, also supports timeframes in H: 2H, H2
- Groups that are not assigned a Custom TF will use Current Timeframe (0).
- MTF will work for any MA type assigned to the group
- MTF works both ways: you can display a higher TF MA/BB on a lower TF or a lower TF MA/BB on a higher TF.
- MTF MA values are normally aligned at the boundary of their native timeframe. This produces stair stepping when a higher TF MA is viewed on a lower TF.
Therefore X Y Point Density/Smoothing is applied by default on MA MTF for visual aesthetics. Set both to 0 to disable and see exact ma mtf values (lines with stair stepping and original mtf alignment).
- Smoothing is disabled for BB MTF bands because fill doesn't work with smoothed MAs after duplicate values are replaced with na.
- MTF MA Value fluctuation is possible on the current bar due to default security lookahead
Smoothing:
- X,Y == 0 - X,Y smoothing disabled (stair stepping on high TFs)
- X == 0, Y > 0 - X,Y smoothing applied to all TFs
- Y == 0, X > 0 - X smoothing applied to all TFs < deltaX_max_tf, Y smoothing disabled
- X > 0, Y > 0 - Y smoothing applied to all TFs, then X smoothing applied to all TFs < deltaX_max_tf
X Smoothing with Y == 0 - shows only every deltaX-th point starting from the first bar.
X Smoothing with Y > 0 - shows only every deltaX-th point starting from the last shown Y point, essentially filling huge gaps remaining after Y Smoothing with points and preserving the curve's general shape
X Smoothing on high TFs with already scarce points produces weird curve shapes, it works best only on high density lower TFs
Y Smoothing reduces points on all TFs, removes adjacent points with prices within deltaY, while preserving the smaller curve details.
A combination of X,Y produces the most accurate smoothing. Higher delta value - larger range, more points removed.
Show Max Bars Back:
- can't set plot show_last from input -> implemented using a timenow based range check
- you can't delete/modify history once plotted, so essentially it just sets a start point for plotting (from num_bars bars back) that works only in realtime mode (not in replay)
Levels:
You can plot current MA value using plot trackprice=true or by checking Show Price Line in Style. Problem is:
- you can only change color (not the dashed line style, width), have both ma + price line (not just the line), and it's full screen wide
- you can't set plot trackprice from input => implemented using plotshape/plotchar with fixed text labels serving as levels
- there's no other way of creating a dynamic level: hline, plot, offset - nothing else works.
- you can't plot a text var - all text strings must be constants, so you can't change the style, width and text labels without recompiling.
- from input you can only adjust offset, indent and shift for each level group, and change color
- the dot below each level line is the exact MA value. If you want just the line swap plotshape with plotchar, recompile and save as your private version, adjust Y shift.
To speed up redraw times: reduce last_bars to ~2000, recompile and use as your own private version
Pinescript is a rudimentary language (should be called Painscript instead) that can basically only plot data. You can't do much else. Please see the code for tips and hints.
Certain things just can't be done or require shady workarounds and weeks of testing trying to resolve weird node.js compiler errors.
Feel free to learn from/reuse/change the code as needed and use as your own private version. See comments in code. Good Luck!
ICS🏛️ Institutional Confluence Suite (ICS) Indicator
The Institutional Confluence Suite is a powerful and highly customizable TradingView indicator built to help traders identify key institutional trading concepts across multiple timeframes. It visualizes essential market components like Market Structures (MS), Order Blocks (OB)/Breaker Blocks (BB), Liquidity Zones, and Volume Profile, providing a confluence of institutional price action data.
📈 Key Features & Components
1. Market Structures (MS)
Purpose: Automatically identifies and labels shifts in market trends (Market Structure Shift, MSS) and continuations (Break of Structure, BOS).
Timeframe Detection: You can select detection across Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings to match your trading horizon.
Visualization: Plots colored lines (Bullish: Teal, Bearish: Red) to mark the structures and optional text labels (BOS/MSS) for clear identification.
2. Order & Breaker Blocks (OB/BB)
Purpose: Detects and projects potential Supply and Demand zones based on recent price action that led to a swing high or low.
Block Types: Distinguishes between standard Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks (OBs that fail to hold and are traded through, often serving as support/resistance in the opposite direction).
Customization:
Detection Term: Adjusts sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Display Limit: Sets the maximum number of recent Bullish and Bearish blocks to display.
Price Reference: Option to use the Candle Body (Open/Close) or Candle Wicks (High/Low) to define the block boundaries.
Visualization: Displays blocks as colored boxes (Bullish: Green, Bearish: Red) extending into the future, with a dotted line marking the 50% equilibrium level. Breaker Blocks are indicated by a change in color/line style upon being broken.
3. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL)
Purpose: Highlights areas where retail stops/limit orders are likely clustered, often represented by a series of relatively equal highs (Buyside Liquidity) or lows (Sellside Liquidity).
Detection Term: Adjustable sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Margin: Uses a margin (derived from ATR) to group similar swing points into a single liquidity zone.
Visualization: Plots a line and text label marking the swing point, and a box indicating the clustered liquidity zone.
4. Liquidity Voids (LV) / Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Purpose: Identifies areas where price moved sharply and inefficiency was created, often referred to as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances. These are price ranges where minimal trading volume occurred.
Threshold: Uses a multiplier applied to the 200-period ATR to filter for significant gaps.
Mode: Can be set to Present (only show voids near the current price) or Historical (show all detected voids).
Visualization: Fills the price gap with colored boxes (Bullish/Bearish zones), often segmented to represent the price delivery across the gap.
5. Enhanced Liquidity Detection
Purpose: A complementary feature that uses volume and price action to highlight areas of high liquidity turnover, potentially indicating stronger Support and Resistance zones.
Calculation: Utilizes a volume-weighted approach to color-grade liquidity zones based on their significance.
Visualization: Plots shaded boxes (gradient-colored) around swing highs/lows, with text displaying the normalized volume strength.
6. Swing Highs/Lows
Purpose: Directly marks the price points identified as Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on the lookback periods.
Timeframe Detection: Can be enabled for Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings.
Visualization: Plots a small colored dot/label (e.g., "⦁") at the swing point.
This indicator is an invaluable tool for traders employing ICT (Inner Circle Trader), Smart Money Concepts (SMC), or general price action strategies, as it automatically aggregates and displays these critical structural and liquidity elements.
Quarterly Theory ChecklistThis indicator gives you a fully customizable trading checklist directly on your chart, helping you stay consistent and avoid emotional or impulsive trades.

Trend Meter [MMT]The Trend Meter is a dynamic Pine Script indicator designed to provide traders with a clear, multi-dimensional view of market trends and momentum across different timeframes and metrics. By integrating Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), higher timeframe (HTF) analysis, and Regular Trading Hours (RTH) breakouts, this indicator offers a comprehensive tool for identifying bullish, bearish, or neutral market conditions. Its customizable visual display and label system make it ideal for traders seeking actionable insights for trend-following, breakout, or reversal strategies.
Key Features:
1. Multi-Metric Trend Analysis:
- Trend Meter : Compares a Fast EMA (default: 9) and Slow EMA (default: 21) to determine short-term trend direction.
- Bias Meter : Uses a longer-term Bias EMA (default: 35) to assess the overall market bias based on the close price.
- VWAP Meter : Evaluates price position relative to the VWAP for dynamic support/resistance insights.
- HTF Meter : Analyzes higher timeframe (default: 60-minute) price action, detecting breakouts of previous highs/lows and candle direction.
- RTH Meter : Tracks price breakouts above/below the US Regular Trading Hours (09:30–16:00 EST) 15m opening range (09:30–09:45 EST).
2. Color-Coded Visuals:
- Each metric is displayed as a horizontal line with customizable colors (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
- Visual style options (dotted, dashed, or solid lines) allow for personalized chart clarity.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Optional labels for each metric (Trend, Bias, VWAP, HTF, RTH) with customizable text, size (tiny to huge), and color.
- Labels update in real-time, providing clear identification of each meter’s role and current state.
4. Flexible Metric Selection:
- Toggle individual metrics (EMA, VWAP, HTF, RTH) on/off to focus on relevant indicators for your trading style.
- Option to use the previous bar’s close price for calculations, reducing noise in volatile markets.
5. RTH and Opening Range Analysis:
- Calculates the high/low of the opening range (09:30–09:45 EST) during RTH sessions.
- Signals bullish or bearish conditions when the price breaks above/below the opening range outside the initial 15-minute window.
6. Higher Timeframe Breakout Detection:
- Monitors HTF price action to identify breakouts of the previous candle’s high or low, combined with the HTF candle’s direction for trend confirmation.
How to Use:
- Trend Confirmation : Use the Trend and Bias Meters to confirm short-term and long-term market direction.
- Breakout Trading : Leverage the RTH Meter for breakout setups above/below the opening range during US trading hours.
- Support/Resistance : Utilize the VWAP Meter to identify dynamic price levels for entries or exits.
- Higher Timeframe Context : Monitor the HTF Meter for broader market trend alignment, ideal for swing or position trading.
- Customization : Adjust EMA lengths, toggle metrics, and customize visual styles and labels to suit your chart preferences.
Settings:
- Bias Settings :
- Fast EMA (default: 9), Slow EMA (default: 21), Bias EMA (default: 35).
- Higher Timeframe (default: 60-minute).
- Option to use previous close price for calculations.

MPO4 Lines – Modal Engine█ OVERVIEW
MPO4 Lines – Modal Engine is an advanced multi-line modal oscillator for TradingView, designed to detect momentum shifts, trend strength, and reversal points through candle-based pressure analysis with multiple fast lines and a reference slow line. It features divergence detection on Fast Line A, overbought/oversold return signals, dynamic coloring modes, and layered gradient visualizations for enhanced clarity and decision-making.
█ CONCEPT
The indicator is built upon the Market Pressure Oscillator (MPO) and serves as its expanded evolution, aimed at enabling broader market analysis through multiple lines with varying parameters. It calculates modal pressure using candle body size and direction, weighted against average body size over a lookback period, then normalized and smoothed via EMA. It generates four distinct oscillator lines: a heavily smoothed Slow Line (trend reference), two Fast Lines (A & B) for momentum and support/resistance, and an optional Line 4 for additional confirmation. Divergence is calculated solely on Fast Line A, with visual gradients between lines and bands for intuitive interpretation.
█ WHY USE IT?
- Multi-Layer Momentum: Combines slow trend reference with dual fast lines for precise entry/exit timing.
- Divergence Precision: Bullish/bearish divergences on Fast Line A with labeled confirmation.
- OB/OS Return Signals: Clear buy/sell markers when Fast Line A exits oversold/overbought zones.
- Dynamic Visuals: Gradient fills, line-to-line shading, and band gradients for instant market state recognition.
- Flexible Coloring: Slow Line color by direction or zero-position; fast lines by sign.
- Full Customization: Independent lengths, smoothing, visibility, and transparency — by adjusting the lengths of different lines, you can tailor results for various strategies; for example, enabling Line 4 and tuning its length allows trading based on crossovers between different lines.
█ HOW IT WORKS?
- Candle Pressure Calculation: Body = math.abs(close - open); avgBody = ta.sma(body, len). Direction = +1 (bull), –1 (bear), 0 (neutral). Weight = body / avgBody. Contribution = direction × weight.
- Rolling Sum & Normalization: Sums contributions over lookback, normalizes to ±100 scale (÷ (len × 2) × 100).
Smoothing: Applies primary EMA (smoothLen), with extra EMA on Slow Line for stability.
Line Structure:
- Slow Line = calcCPO(len1=20, smoothLen1=5) → extra EMA (5)
- Fast Line A = calcCPO(len2=6, smoothLen2=7)
- Fast Line B = calcCPO(len3=6, smoothLen3=10)
- Line 4 = calcCPO(len4=14, smoothLen4=1)
Divergence Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh/low on price and Fast Line A (pivotLength left/right). Bullish: lower price low + higher osc low. Bearish: higher price high + lower osc high. Valid within 5–60 bar window.
Signals:
- Buy: Fast Line A crosses above oversold (–30)
- Sell: Fast Line A crosses below overbought (+30)
- Slow Line color flip (direction or zero-cross)
- Divergence labels ("Bull" / "Bear")
- Band Coloring as Momentum Signal:
When Fast Line A ≤ Fast Line B → Overbought band turns red (bearish pressure building)
When Fast Line A > Fast Line B → Oversold band turns green (bullish pressure building) This dynamic coloring serves as visual confirmation of momentum shift following fast line crossovers
Visualization:
- Gradients: Fast B → Zero (multi-layer fade), Fast A ↔ B fill, OB/OS bands
- Dynamic colors: Green/red based on sign or trend
- Zero line + dashed OB/OS thresholds
Alerts: Trigger on OB/OS returns, Slow Line changes, and divergences.
█ SETTINGS AND CUSTOMIZATION
- Line Visibility: Toggle Slow, Fast A, Fast B, Line 4 independently.
Line Lengths:
- Slow Line: Base (20), Primary EMA (5), Extra EMA (5)
- Fast A: Lookback (6), EMA (7)
- Fast B: Lookback (6), EMA (10)
- Line 4: Lookback (14), EMA (1)
- Slow Line Coloring Mode: “Direction” (trend-based) or “Position vs Zero”.
- Bands & Thresholds: Overbought (+30), Oversold (–30), step 0.1.
- Signals: Enable Fast A OB/OS return markers (default: on).
- Divergence: Enable/disable, Pivot Length (default: 2, min 1).
- Colors & Appearance: Full control over bullish/bearish hues for all lines, zero, bands, divergence, and text.
Gradients & Transparency:
- Fast B → Zero: 75 (default)
- Fast A ↔ B fill: 50
- Band gradients: 40
- Toggle each gradient independently
█ USAGE EXAMPLES
The indicator allows users to configure various strategies manually, though no built-in alerts exist for them. Entry signals can include color of fast lines, crossovers between different lines, alignment of colors across lines, or consistency in direction.
- Trend Confirmation: Slow Line above zero + green = bullish bias; below + red = bearish.
- Entry Timing: Buy on Fast A crossing above –30 (circle marker), especially if Slow Line is rising or near zero.
- Reversal Setup: Bullish divergence (“Bull” label) + Fast A in oversold + green gradient band = high-probability long.
- Scalping: Fast A vs Fast B crossover in direction of Slow Line trend.
- Noise Reduction: Increase extraSmoothLen on Slow Line
█ USER NOTES
- Best combined with volume, support/resistance, or trend channels.
- Adjust lookback and smoothing to asset volatility.
- Divergence delay = pivotLength; plan entries accordingly.
Position Sizer (Share Qty)
This indicator enables fast & accurate position sizing for traders using (user defined) fixed dollar risk, eliminating the need for manual calculations and supporting disciplined risk management directly on the chart
Calculates precise share quantity for fixed-risk trades using the formula Shares = Risk Amount / (Current Price – Stop Price), rounded to the nearest whole share, updating in real time on every bar
Offers two dynamic stop-loss options: Low of Day (LoD) — tracked only during Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) with automatic daily reset — or Low of Week (LoW) via weekly timeframe data
Displays all critical trade data in a clean, customizable on-screen table showing: Risk Amount, Stop Loss type (LoD/LoW), Stop Price, and calculated Shares Qty
Allows full table placement control with four corner positions with optional Top Offset and Bottom Offset (0–20 blank rows each) to prevent overlap with price action or other indicators
Provides complete visual styling control for header text/background, value text/background, and share quantity text/background
Ensures efficient rendering by recreating the table only when position, row count, or layout changes, deleting the prior instance to avoid flicker or memory issues
Handles edge cases safely: shows 0 shares if stop is 'na' or above current price, and initializes LoD only on the first RTH bar of each session
For use on equities only (table will not display on futures instruments)
--
Future improvements:
Visual Stop Loss line for either LoD or LoW
Functionality and toggle to include Extended hours (PM /AH) for LoD stop pricing

Introduction to Correlation Analysis
What is Correlation?
Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the degree to which two assets move in relation to each other. Think of it like measuring how closely two dancers move together on a dance floor.
Perfect Positive Correlation (+1.0): Both dancers move in perfect sync, same direction, same speed
Perfect Negative Correlation (-1.0): Both dancers move in perfect sync but in opposite directions
Zero Correlation (0): The dancers move completely independently of each other
In financial markets, correlation helps us understand relationships between different assets, which is crucial for:
Portfolio diversification
Risk management
Pairs trading strategies
Hedging positions
Market analysis
Why This Script is Special
This script goes beyond simple correlation calculations by providing:
Two different correlation methods (Pearson and Spearman)
Statistical significance testing to ensure results are meaningful
Rolling correlation analysis to track how relationships change over time
Visual representation for easy interpretation
Comprehensive statistics table with detailed metrics
Deep Dive into the Script's Components
1. Input Parameters Explained-
Symbol Selection:
This allows you to select the second asset to compare with the chart's primary asset
Default is Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), but you can change this to any symbol
Example: If you're viewing a Bitcoin chart, you might set this to "NASDAQ:TSLA" to see if Bitcoin and Tesla are correlated
Correlation Window (60): This is the number of periods used to calculate the main correlation
Larger values (e.g., 100-500) provide more stable, long-term correlation measures
Smaller values (e.g., 10-50) are more responsive to recent price movements
60 is a good balance for most daily charts (about 3 months of trading days)
Rolling Correlation Window (20): A shorter window to detect recent changes in correlation
This helps identify when the relationship between assets is strengthening or weakening
Default of 20 is roughly one month of trading days
Return Type: This determines how price changes are calculated
Simple Returns: (Today's Price - Yesterday's Price) / Yesterday's Price
Easy to understand: "The asset went up 2% today"
Log Returns: Natural logarithm of (Today's Price / Yesterday's Price)
More mathematically elegant for statistical analysis
Better for time-additive properties (returns over multiple periods)
Less sensitive to extreme values.
Confidence Level (95%): This determines how certain we want to be about our results
95% confidence means we accept a 5% chance of being wrong (false positive)
Higher confidence (e.g., 99%) makes the test more strict
Lower confidence (e.g., 90%) makes the test more lenient
95% is the standard in most scientific research
Show Statistical Significance: When enabled, the script will test if the correlation is statistically significant or just due to random chance.
Display options control what you see on the chart:
Show Pearson/Spearman/Rolling Correlation: Toggle each correlation type on/off
Show Scatter Plot: Displays a scatter plot of returns (limited to recent points to avoid performance issues)
Show Statistical Tests: Enables the detailed statistics table
Table Text Size: Adjusts the size of text in the statistics table
2.Functions explained-
calcReturns():
This function calculates price returns based on your selected method:
Log Returns:
Formula: ln(Price_t / Price_t-1)
Example: If a stock goes from $100 to $101, the log return is ln(101/100) = ln(1.01) ≈ 0.00995 or 0.995%
Benefits: More symmetric, time-additive, and better for statistical modeling
Simple Returns:
Formula: (Price_t - Price_t-1) / Price_t-1
Example: If a stock goes from $100 to $101, the simple return is (101-100)/100 = 0.01 or 1%
Benefits: More intuitive and easier to understand
rankArray():
This function calculates the rank of each value in an array, which is used for Spearman correlation:
How ranking works:
The smallest value gets rank 1
The second smallest gets rank 2, and so on
For ties (equal values), they get the average of their ranks
Example: For values
Sorted:
Ranks: (the two 2s tie for ranks 1 and 2, so they both get 1.5)
Why this matters: Spearman correlation uses ranks instead of actual values, making it less sensitive to outliers and non-linear relationships.
pearsonCorr():
This function calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient:
Mathematical Formula:
r = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / √
Where x and y are the two variables, and n is the sample size
What it measures:
The strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables
Values range from -1 (perfect negative linear relationship) to +1 (perfect positive linear relationship)
0 indicates no linear relationship
Example:
If two stocks have a Pearson correlation of 0.8, they have a strong positive linear relationship
When one stock goes up, the other tends to go up in a fairly consistent proportion
spearmanCorr():
This function calculates the Spearman rank correlation:
How it works:
Convert each value in both datasets to its rank
Calculate the Pearson correlation on the ranks instead of the original values
What it measures:
The strength and direction of the monotonic relationship between two variables
A monotonic relationship is one where as one variable increases, the other either consistently increases or decreases
It doesn't require the relationship to be linear
When to use it instead of Pearson:
When the relationship is monotonic but not linear
When there are significant outliers in the data
When the data is ordinal (ranked) rather than interval/ratio
Example:
If two stocks have a Spearman correlation of 0.7, they have a strong positive monotonic relationship
When one stock goes up, the other tends to go up, but not necessarily in a straight-line relationship
tStatistic():
This function calculates the t-statistic for correlation:
Mathematical Formula: t = r × √((n-2)/(1-r²))
Where r is the correlation coefficient and n is the sample size
What it measures:
How many standard errors the correlation is away from zero
Used to test the null hypothesis that the true correlation is zero
Interpretation:
Larger absolute t-values indicate stronger evidence against the null hypothesis
Generally, a t-value greater than 2 (in absolute terms) is considered statistically significant at the 95% confidence level
criticalT() and pValue():
These functions provide approximations for statistical significance testing:
criticalT():
Returns the critical t-value for a given degrees of freedom (df) and significance level
The critical value is the threshold that the t-statistic must exceed to be considered statistically significant
Uses approximations since Pine Script doesn't have built-in statistical distribution functions
pValue():
Estimates the p-value for a given t-statistic and degrees of freedom
The p-value is the probability of observing a correlation as strong as the one calculated, assuming the true correlation is zero
Smaller p-values indicate stronger evidence against the null hypothesis
Standard interpretation:
p < 0.01: Very strong evidence (marked with **)
p < 0.05: Strong evidence (marked with *)
p ≥ 0.05: Weak evidence, not statistically significant
stdev():
This function calculates the standard deviation of a dataset:
Mathematical Formula: σ = √(Σ(x-μ)²/(n-1))
Where x is each value, μ is the mean, and n is the sample size
What it measures:
The amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values
A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean
A high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range
Why it matters for correlation:
Standard deviation is used in calculating the correlation coefficient
It also provides information about the volatility of each asset's returns
Comparing standard deviations helps understand the relative riskiness of the two assets.
3.Getting Price Data-
price1: The closing price of the primary asset (the chart you're viewing)
price2: The closing price of the secondary asset (the one you selected in the input parameters)
Returns are used instead of raw prices because:
Returns are typically stationary (mean and variance stay constant over time)
Returns normalize for price levels, allowing comparison between assets of different values
Returns represent what investors actually care about: percentage changes in value
4.Information Table-
Creates a table to display statistics
Only shows on the last bar to avoid performance issues
Positioned in the top right of the chart
Has 2 columns and 15 rows
Populating the Table
The script then populates the table with various statistics:
Header Row: "Metric" and "Value"
Sample Information: Sample size and return type
Pearson Correlation: Value, t-statistic, p-value, and significance
Spearman Correlation: Value, t-statistic, p-value, and significance
Rolling Correlation: Current value
Standard Deviations: For both assets
Interpretation: Text description of the correlation strength
The table uses color coding to highlight important information:
Green for significant positive results
Red for significant negative results
Yellow for borderline significance
Color-coded headers for each section
=> Practical Applications and Interpretation
How to Interpret the Results
Correlation Strength
0.0 to 0.3 (or 0.0 to -0.3): Weak or no correlation
The assets move mostly independently of each other
Good for diversification purposes
0.3 to 0.7 (or -0.3 to -0.7): Moderate correlation
The assets show some tendency to move together (or in opposite directions)
May be useful for certain trading strategies but not extremely reliable
0.7 to 1.0 (or -0.7 to -1.0): Strong correlation
The assets show a strong tendency to move together (or in opposite directions)
Can be useful for pairs trading, hedging, or as a market indicator
Statistical Significance
p < 0.01: Very strong evidence that the correlation is real
Marked with ** in the table
Very unlikely to be due to random chance
p < 0.05: Strong evidence that the correlation is real
Marked with * in the table
Unlikely to be due to random chance
p ≥ 0.05: Weak evidence that the correlation is real
Not marked in the table
Could easily be due to random chance
Rolling Correlation
The rolling correlation shows how the relationship between assets changes over time
If the rolling correlation is much different from the long-term correlation, it suggests the relationship is changing
This can indicate:
A shift in market regime
Changing fundamentals of one or both assets
Temporary market dislocations that might present trading opportunities
Trading Applications
1. Portfolio Diversification
Goal: Reduce overall portfolio risk by combining assets that don't move together
Strategy: Look for assets with low or negative correlations
Example: If you hold tech stocks, you might add some utilities or bonds that have low correlation with tech
2. Pairs Trading
Goal: Profit from the relative price movements of two correlated assets
Strategy:
Find two assets with strong historical correlation
When their prices diverge (one goes up while the other goes down)
Buy the underperforming asset and short the outperforming asset
Close the positions when they converge back to their normal relationship
Example: If Coca-Cola and Pepsi are highly correlated but Coca-Cola drops while Pepsi rises, you might buy Coca-Cola and short Pepsi
3. Hedging
Goal: Reduce risk by taking an offsetting position in a negatively correlated asset
Strategy: Find assets that tend to move in opposite directions
Example: If you hold a portfolio of stocks, you might buy some gold or government bonds that tend to rise when stocks fall
4. Market Analysis
Goal: Understand market dynamics and interrelationships
Strategy: Analyze correlations between different sectors or asset classes
Example:
If tech stocks and semiconductor stocks are highly correlated, movements in one might predict movements in the other
If the correlation between stocks and bonds changes, it might signal a shift in market expectations
5. Risk Management
Goal: Understand and manage portfolio risk
Strategy: Monitor correlations to identify when diversification benefits might be breaking down
Example: During market crises, many assets that normally have low correlations can become highly correlated (correlation convergence), reducing diversification benefits
Advanced Interpretation and Caveats
Correlation vs. Causation
Important Note: Correlation does not imply causation
Example: Ice cream sales and drowning incidents are correlated (both increase in summer), but one doesn't cause the other
Implication: Just because two assets move together doesn't mean one causes the other to move
Solution: Look for fundamental economic reasons why assets might be correlated
Non-Stationary Correlations
Problem: Correlations between assets can change over time
Causes:
Changing market conditions
Shifts in monetary policy
Structural changes in the economy
Changes in the underlying businesses
Solution: Use rolling correlations to monitor how relationships change over time
Outliers and Extreme Events
Problem: Extreme market events can distort correlation measurements
Example: During a market crash, many assets may move in the same direction regardless of their normal relationship
Solution:
Use Spearman correlation, which is less sensitive to outliers
Be cautious when interpreting correlations during extreme market conditions
Sample Size Considerations
Problem: Small sample sizes can produce unreliable correlation estimates
Rule of Thumb: Use at least 30 data points for a rough estimate, 60+ for more reliable results
Solution:
Use the default correlation length of 60 or higher
Be skeptical of correlations calculated with small samples
Timeframe Considerations
Problem: Correlations can vary across different timeframes
Example: Two assets might be positively correlated on a daily basis but negatively correlated on a weekly basis
Solution:
Test correlations on multiple timeframes
Use the timeframe that matches your trading horizon
Look-Ahead Bias
Problem: Using information that wouldn't have been available at the time of trading
Example: Calculating correlation using future data
Solution: This script avoids look-ahead bias by using only historical data
Best Practices for Using This Script
1. Appropriate Parameter Selection
Correlation Window:
For short-term trading: 20-50 periods
For medium-term analysis: 50-100 periods
For long-term analysis: 100-500 periods
Rolling Window:
Should be shorter than the main correlation window
Typically 1/3 to 1/2 of the main window
Return Type:
For most applications: Log Returns (better statistical properties)
For simplicity: Simple Returns (easier to interpret)
2. Validation and Testing
Out-of-Sample Testing:
Calculate correlations on one time period
Test if they hold in a different time period
Multiple Timeframes:
Check if correlations are consistent across different timeframes
Economic Rationale:
Ensure there's a logical reason why assets should be correlated
3. Monitoring and Maintenance
Regular Review:
Correlations can change, so review them regularly
Alerts:
Set up alerts for significant correlation changes
Documentation:
Keep notes on why certain assets are correlated and what might change that relationship
4. Integration with Other Analysis
Fundamental Analysis:
Combine correlation analysis with fundamental factors
Technical Analysis:
Use correlation analysis alongside technical indicators
Market Context:
Consider how market conditions might affect correlations
Conclusion
This Scientific Correlation Testing Framework provides a comprehensive tool for analyzing relationships between financial assets. By offering both Pearson and Spearman correlation methods, statistical significance testing, and rolling correlation analysis, it goes beyond simple correlation measures to provide deeper insights.
For beginners, this script might seem complex, but it's built on fundamental statistical concepts that become clearer with use. Start with the default settings and focus on interpreting the main correlation lines and the statistics table. As you become more comfortable, you can adjust the parameters and explore more advanced applications.
Remember that correlation analysis is just one tool in a trader's toolkit. It should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and with a clear understanding of its limitations. When used properly, it can provide valuable insights for portfolio construction, risk management, and pair trading strategy development.
