Z-Score with Buy & Sell SignalsThis is my open-source indicator of z-score with buy and sell indicators.
I see there are other z-score indicators, I just am particular about how I like my z-scores calculated and so decided to make my own and add buy and sell signals to help guide me. And I figured I could share it openly here!
What is a Z-Score
A z-score is a statistical measures of the distance, in standard deviations, a value is from its given mean. It is expressed as a standard deviation (or SD). The further a value (in this case, a stock) is from their mean, the more likely a regression to the mean is possible (i.e. a return to the average). So if a stock is trading at 3 standard deviations away from its mean, then we can anticipate it wanting to regress back towards 1 to 0 standard deviations from its mean (i.e. sell off back to a value that brings it closer to that SD).
The inverse is true if it is trading below.
Z-Scores and Stocks
Stocks, like everything in nature, like to trade between -1 and +1 SD away from its mean. Anything above this, we can interpret that there is "stress" on the stock. Anything over 2.50 is tremendous stress on the stock and we can anticipate that it will want to revert to its mean in the near future and bring that value down to at least 1, ideally between the -0.5 and 0.5 range.
Please note, I set the standard VERY high for the indicator to issue a buy and sell signal (/=2.50). Lately with the volatility, stocks have been entering these ranges frequently and so there have been plenty of signals, but traditionally in a stable environment you may not get these signals. I set the bar extremely high because I want to avoid false buy and sell signals (you will still get them though, nothing is perfect!). So the value in this indicator is in interpreting the actual z-score itself, so please be sure you understand exactly what the Z-score is (see the description above).
How the indicator works
The indicator works by calculating the average Z-Score between a stocks high and low. This indicator will present the average deviation a stock has from its high and low average. The higher the Z-Score, the more "overbought" the stock is. The lower the z-score, the more "oversold" the stock is. It uses the previous 500 candles worth of data to calculate its SMA and its Standard deviation in order to calculate the z-score.
Anytime a stock trades 2.50 SDs or more above or below its mean, you will be presented with a Buy or Sell signal, as generally, statistically speaking, after something has travelled 2.50 SDs aware from its mean, there is an increased probability of a reversion happening.
You can use this indicator to determine whether the stock is trading within normal parameters or not and to help you in your analysis as to whether or not a stock could be shorted or longed.
I personally like this for swing trading on the 1 hour chart; however, this can be used on any time from 1 minute to 1 hour. It also allows you to track a stocks progress in its reversion to the mean.
Examples of it in Use:
Gold ETF (ARCA: GLD) on 1 minute
Dow Jones ETF (ARCA: DIA) on 1 minute (my favourite Stock!)
SPY ETF (ARCA: SPY) on 1 hour chart
Disclaimer:
This is not meant to be placed as a sole and single strategy. It should be used in COJUNCTION with your other strategies to help you make a determination.
No indicator is infallible and should never be relied on 100%!

Make Your Own Index!Intro
For my first script, I have released Make Your Own Index version 1. It has a long way to go so please stay tuned. Scroll down to read all the updates and notes as they come in.
Why it matters
Making your index is important to quickly see an index of symbols that you want to chart. Having the ability to assign weightings gives you the opportunity to make the index equal weighted or custom weighted. As we all know, indexes like the S&P 500 are NOT equal weighted, but more heavily weighted toward the winners. Now, you can make your own of a basket of symbols and make them custom weighted or equal weighted. Have some fun exploring this.
Features
You select the symbols of your choice and then chart them as one line with a specific weighting. This can be done in the settings menu once the indicator is selected. Use the symbol search field to add a symbol. From what I have tested, it works for any symbol whether it's stocks, crypto, FX and more. The default is set to stocks.
The Weight field in the settings menu is where you can assign a specific weight to the symbol of your choice. This way you can make an equal weighted index or a custom weighted index. By default each symbol is set to 10 or 10%. There are 10 symbols in the menu, so at 10%, they are equally weighted! In the script I have made it so each weighting is in percentage terms. So type in the percentage and you're good to go.
The chart is currently displayed in a separate window and not as an overlay. This may change in the future. The line can also be changed slightly and the color of it. Stay tuned for more on this.
Send in feedback
I am a Pine rookie in all regards and I am surely looking for support, feedback, and/or ideas. I want to add a lot more to this. If you look at the settings you will see have some input fields that are in their first iteration and currently needing to be improved. Rather than waiting to make them perfect, I just want to get this out there and update as I go. Also, as mentioned, I will definitely need a little support at adding more features that I have in mind.
Credit where credit is due
I used a lot of Open Source indicators as inspiration to quickly get going so thank you to the following people and accounts who share open source scripts that you can use to learn, test, and get started instantly:
@TradingView
@LucF
@PineCoders
@KioseffTrading
@norok
@RedKTrader
@NeoButane
And many others. That's the beauty of open source!
Closing note
Publishing it open source so people can fact check my code and thinking. One thing I know for sure is that this can probably be created in a more efficient way. Nonetheless, please a take look and let me know what you think - I am excited to make some updates over the coming weeks.
Thanks for reading!
Market Sector Scanner/Screener With MOM + RSI + MFI + DMI + MACDMARKET SECTOR SCANNER/SCREENER MOM + RSI + MFI + DMI + MACD FOR STOCKS CRYPTO & FOREX
This script scans 9 markets constantly and returns the values of 5 different popular indicators.
This indicator helps you see when one of your favorite stocks is bullish or bearish when you are not watching that chart so you can always catch the big moves as they happen.
***HOW TO USE***
A great way to use this market screener is to set up separate chart layouts for each sector you like to trade. Such as the top 9 stocks in the S & P 500, top 9 stocks in the XLF etf, etc. Make sure to set up separate chart layouts in Tradingview so you don’t have to change the symbols constantly. This will give you a good idea in real time if that entire sector is bullish, bearish or mixed. When the entire grid goes red or green, those are very strong signs of market direction across that entire sector, so trades in the corresponding direction are quite safe.
This can be done for crypto as well, using the top 9 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Watch the grid and wait for the entire lot to turn green or red and then take a position in that direction.
You can also use this with a variety of your favorite tickers so you can see when specific markets are looking strong in either direction, instead of constantly changing charts or missing good opportunities because you weren’t watching that specific chart.
This grid can also be used to determine how long to hold a position as well. If the entire grid is still green or red, according to your trade direction, you can usually expect price to continue in that direction until you see some conflicting colors start to pop up on the grid. As it starts to give mixed signals, you can expect the market to be indecisive or reverse which is a good time to get out.
If you have your scanner setup to show similar markets in one sector, be careful taking trades when the grid is very mixed in color. This shows signs of indecision and will likely have choppy price action until the market decides a direction so make sure to use caution when the grid is mixed. It is best to wait for the entire grid to turn green or red and then take position.
***COLOR MEANINGS***
When each indicator value is in bullish territory, the background of that value will turn green.
When each indicator value is in bearish territory, the background of that value will turn red.
When each indicator value is in neutral territory, the background of that value will turn blue.
When all 5 indicators for a ticker are bullish, the ticker background will turn green.
When all 5 indicators for a ticker are bearish, the ticker background will turn red.
When there is a mixture of bullish and bearish values, the ticker background will turn blue.
***CUSTOMIZATION***
You can customize which tickers are in your scanner including stocks, crypto, futures and forex, the source of the indicators, the length of the indicator settings and the smoothing parameters.
***INDICATORS USED***
The indicators used for each ticker are as follows:
Momentum(MOM) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above zero, bearish is below zero.
Relative Strength Index(RSI) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above 50, bearish is below 50.
Money Flow Index(MFI) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above 50, bearish is below 50.
Directional Movement Index(DMI) - Default length is 14 and smoothing is 14. Calculated by subtracting di minus from di plus. If the value is positive, it is bullish. If the value is negative, it is bearish.
Moving Average Convergence & Divergence(MACD) - Default settings are 12, 26, 9. If the short line is greater than the long line, then it is bullish. If the short line is less than the long line, it is bearish.
***MARKETS***
This market scanner can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This scanner can be used on all timeframes and pulls data from other tickers using the same timeframe as what your current chart is set to.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are Trend Friend Scalp & Swing Signals, Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile With Buy/Sell Pressure, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Scanner. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Market Profile Visible RangeSup TV, 2 important points .
1) surprisingly, it's the first MP Visible Range script on TV;
2) This one doesn't use any bagging/binning*, instead each row represents the time spent on the actual minimal price steps (aka ticks).
The script will be further extended with usual market profile related functionally in future updates. At this point we have:
- Profile itself (each row represents how many bars touch the given price);
- Mode of the profile (called POC)**;
* Still it will be introduced in future when I will find / design the proper aggregating technique. It is vital for processing very wide price ranges (for example, 500 days on ES futures).
** The script correctly calculates POC by finding all the modes in the data & choosing the closest one to data's midrange.
For this kind of technical instrument finally it was more convenient to use Pine Script 5 (btw it's my first Pine 5).
Basically this script is a side-effect of another R&D I'm doing, the stuff is useful tho so let's go.
By choosing length we both specify the amount of data to be processed & the profile's location screen-wise. It's pretty cool and & useful, on my screen it's always almost touching the left side and still always visible.
The code is heavily commented in order to be understood fast, nothing fantastic, just a lil patience required this time.
Rationale
Market & volume profiles are well known concepts, lotta info available, the most important point of all that is that MP is just another way of visualizing data that lets you notice things you don't usually notice on sequential charts. From my side I can only add that it's better to use your own brain for thinking and reconsidering using volume profile in all the cases, especially on decentralized markets (unless you're aggregating ALL the volume data from everywhere, including options, OTC etc).
Here is it, for you
Relative StrengthRelative strength is a calculation of the price trend of a stock or a financial instrument in comparison to another instrument, stock, or industry. It shall be determined by taking the price of one commodity and dividing it by another.
Relative strength is a strategy used for determining value stocks and is used in momentum investing as well. It involves investing in stocks that have done well, in relation to their index or benchmark. For example, a relative strength investor might pick technology companies that have outperformed the Nasdaq Composite Index or large-cap stocks that are lagging against the S&P 500 index(Adjustable in the settings).
This indiator will give you a plot for relative strength between the current pair with another pair (adjustable in the settings), with a plotshape for RSNHBP & RSNH
Features :
1. Relative Strength
2. Double EMA of Relative Strength
3. RSNHBP & RSNH
How to use it :
1. Adjust All the settings parameter
2. For Alerting, Just use any alert function call, it will give you an alert of RSNHBP and RSNH
The Rush
█ OVERVIEW
This script shows when buyers are in a rush to buy and when sellers are in a rush to sell
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ CONCEPTS
Prophet Mohamed Peace be upon Him once said something similar to this "It is not advisable to trade if you do not know the
Volume".
In his book "The Day Trader's Bible - Or My Secret In Day trading Of Stocks", Richard D. Kickoff wrote in page 55
"This shows that there was only 100 shares for sale at 180 1/8, none at all at 180f^, and only 500 at 3/8. The jump from 1 to 8 to 3/8
Emphasizes both the absence of pressure and persistency on the part of the buyers. They are not content to wait patiently until they can
Secure the stock at 180^/4; they "reach" for it."
This script was inspired by these two great men.
Prophet Mohamed Peace be upon Him showed the importance of the volume and Richard D. Kickoff explained what Prophet
Mohamed Peace be upon Him meant.
So I created this script that gauge the movement of the stock and the sentiments of the traders.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• FEATURES: The script calculates The Percentage Difference of the price and The Percentage Difference of the volume between
two success bullish candles (or two success bearish candles) and then it creates a ratio between these two Percentage
Differences and in the end the ratio is compared to the previous one to see if there is an increase or a decrease.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• HOW TO USE: if you see 2 or more successive red bars that mean bears are in hurry to sell and you can expect a bearish trend soon
if the Market Maker allows it or later if the Market Maker wants to do some distribution.
if you see 2 or more successive green bars that mean bulls are in hurry to buy and you can expect a bullish trend soon if the Market
Maker allows it or later if the Market Maker wants to do some accumulation.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• LIMITATIONS:
1- Use only Heikin Ashi chart
2- Good only if volume data is correct , meaning good for a centralized Market. (You can use it for forex or
crypto but at your own risk because those markets are not centralized)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• THANKS: I pay homage to Prophet Mohamed Peace be upon Him and Richard D. Kickoff who inspired the creation of this
Script.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VIX SPX & XJOVix is a volatility indicator that lets traders know when to be cautious.
This indicator shows the volatility for the US market as well as the Australian market on seperate lines.
Blue lines are Vix for SPX (S&P 500)
If blue indicator goes above 30, high volatility is present and caution should be taken.
Green lines are Vix for XJO (ASX 200)
If green indicator goes above 20, high volatility is present and caution should be taken.
Stock Rotation Model [CC]This is an original indicator so a true hidden gem in my opinion. I based this idea off of the work by Giorgos Siligardos (Stocks and Commodities Aug 2012) with his indicator called the Sector Rotation Model. This indicator is best used as a trend confirmation in combination with another indicator such as a leading indicator. This will show you how strong the current stock you are looking at is compared to the S&P 500 which almost everyone uses as a relative strength comparison. Feel free to change the default lengths if you would like as these were just the settings that I liked the best overall. Let me know if you find any good combos that works for most stocks in general. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish!
MS VIX Bull ReversalThis script measures the rebound of the implied volatility of the S&P 500 index options from an excessive panic zone. The IV starts a reversion to the mean as soon as profit taking from the hedge begins. The assumption behind it: this rebound indicates at least the beginning of a countermovement, in uptrends the end of the correction and the trend continuation.
Coppock Curve with Pivot Points and Divergence The Coppock Curve is a long-term price momentum indicator used primarily to recognize major downturns and upturns in a stock market index. It is calculated as a 10-month weighted moving average of the sum of the 14-month rate of change and the 11-month rate of change for the index. It is also known as the "Coppock Guide."
The Coppock formula was introduced in Barron's in 1962 by Edwin Coppock.
The Coppock Curve is a technical indicator that provides long-term buy and sell signals for major stock indexes and related ETFs based on shifts in momentum.
What Does the Coppock Curve Tell You?
The Coppock Curve was originally implemented as a long-term buy and sell indicator for major indices such as the S&P 500 and the Wilshire 5000. Often, it is used with long-term time series such as a candlestick chart, but where each candle contains a month's worth of price information.
The Difference Between the Coppock Curve and Rate of Relative Strength Index (RSI)?
The relative strength index looks at how the current price compares to prior prices, though it is calculated differently than the rate of change (ROC) indicator used in the Coppock Curve calculation. Therefore, these indicators will provide different trade signals and information.
What are those circles?
-These are Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
What are those triangles?
- These are Pivots . They show when the VPT oscillator might reverse, this is important to know because many times the price action follows this move.
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.
Moving Average Suite + VWAP + TICKThis indicator combines some of the commonly used moving averages, VWAP, and TICK sentiment, all of which are useful for all types of trading
By default, this indicator includes:
- 21/50/100/200 period smoothed simple moving average
- great for determining trends
- also act as support / resistance line for price
- 9 period exponential moving average
- fast trend / direction indicator
- Volume Weighted Average Price
- no explanation required
- $TICK sentiment as background fill
- overall market sentiment and direction
- +/- 500 levels are colored green/red and are usually indication of institutional order flow --> critical for trading indexes such as SPY or QQQ
- deep green/red background indicates +/-1000 on the $TICK, which are usually associated with overbought or oversold
S5TH [SP500]This indicator is based on the percentage of S&P 500 Stocks Above 200-Day Moving Average ( S5TH )
Up & Down Trend following trading strategy for BTC/USDT 3hThis strategy is based on multi time frame technical indicators such as;
1. RSI (10,50,100)
2. MFI (10,50,100)
3. RVI (10,50,100)
4. BOP (10,50,100)
5. Super Trend
6. SAR indicator
7. Higher highs and lower lows
8. SMA (9,500)
9. EMA (9,200)
After evaluating different parameters provided by those indicators, script is in a possition to determine optimul positions to enter in to market as well as exit from the market. In some cases stratergy will exit fully or partially depends on the situation. Other than that, this strategy is in a possition to calculate and specify the quantity you need to buy or sell depending on market situation. You can specify amount available for investment and how many times you are going to average (if downtrend). Parameters are optimised to BTC/USDT, 3h standerd candlestic chart.
goodluck
Sessions with High/Low DiffThe main purpose of this indicator is to facilitate backtesting, but it may also be useful for traders to easily identify the current
active/open trading sessions on lower-timeframe charts.
This indicator also tracks the session high/low difference and plots it as a label on the last candle of the session once the last
bar of that session has finished printing and a new candle opened. The position and direction of the label is based on the
session open and close - if the session open is greater than the session close (which would equate to the equivalent of a red candle),
the label will be printed UNDER the last candle, and vice versa if the session close is above the session open.
The number printed inside the label is the difference between the session high and the session low, scaled to the minimum tick value of the chart.
Note #1: There is a Pinescript maximum of 500 labels allowed on any chart. While I could have gotten fancy and done some wizardry with label arrays,
I didn't really see a point to it. If labels are enabled for all 4 sessions at the same time, that would still have them available for the past 125
sessions, which would be about 6 months (approx 252 trading days per year, and this would cover 125 of them). If you limit to 2 sessions, you double
your potential look-back to almost a year (250 days out of the 252 average trading days each year), and for a single session, you double it yet again
to just under 2 years.
Note #2: As this indicator tracks open, high, low, and close for each session, it can potentially be enhanced (or forked) to construct "session candles".
I'm not sure what use this would be to anyone, but the pieces are there should someone find a use for it.
While it would be easy to add alerts on sessions opening/closing, I didn't see a purpose or value in that as it would be little more than a
glorified alarm clock. If I get enough demand to add them, I will gladly consider it.

Indicador de reducciones de precio con etiqueta.
El indicador toma por defecto el valor máximo histórico y a partir de ese valor realiza los siguientes cálculos:
Reducción del 50% = Máximo Histórico*(50/100)
Reducción del 60% = Máximo Histórico*(40/100)
Reducción del 70% = Máximo Histórico*(30/100)
Reducción del 80% = Máximo Histórico*(20/100)
Reducción del 90% = Máximo Histórico*(10/100)
En el grafico se mostrará una etiqueta a la derecha por defecto, el valor que corresponde a cada reducción.
Ejemplo:
Fecha: 04 de Enero de 2022
Máximo Histórico de BTC = $ 69,000 (Línea color Naranja)
Reducción del 50% = $ 34,500 (Línea color Morada)
Reducción del 60% = $ 27,600 (Línea color Marrón)
Reducción del 70% = $ 20,700 (Línea color Verde)
Reducción del 80% = $ 13,800 (Línea color Roja)
Reducción del 90% = $ 6,900 (Línea color Aqua)
Reducción del 100% = $ 0 (Línea color Negro)
Espero les ayude, saludos.
Market Breadth EMAsThis is the combined market breadth tickers: S5TW, S5FI, S5OH, and S5TH representing the percentage of S&P 500 stocks above their 20, 50, 100, and 200 EMA respectively. The colors go from green (20) to red (200) because if 20 crosses above the 200, the market's bullish, and if the 20 crosses below the 200, the market is bearish. So if green is on top = bull market. If red is on top = bear market. In general the market sentiment is whichever color is highest up.
The background is colored in depending on a few historical extremes in the 200. The darker the color the more significant the buy/sell signal. These can be adjusted by changing the hline's in the code.
High Volume Price Levels x3This script detects recent huge volume areas to help you finding out good support and resistance levels.
For each of the 3 periods (defaults : 100, 200, 500) a new line will be drawn from the last time the volume amount exceeded n% (default 99%) of the highest volume on the same period, to the next occurence.
Most of time, these lines represent strong support and resistance levels which can be helpful in your technical analysis.
Options:
Volume trigger level: represents the minimum % of the highest volume within the given period on which you want to draw a new price level. (But higher this % is, stronger the levels will be)
Periods: The reference periods for high volume detection.
Show period: Enable/Disable the use of any period.
Period Color: Select a color correspondig to each period.
Show current levels only: Disable drawing of previous levels, to display current levels only.
Extend last level: Extend current lines to right/left/both or none sides of your chart.
Notes:
Sometimes, the last detected level from every periods can be the same at the same moment. In this situation, you'll only see one or two of the lines instead of three.
I'd like to figure out how to continuously draw every interesting levels without making the chart unreadable. Of course this script will be updated if I find a good way to do it.
Feel free to suggest any improvements/modifications.
Example:
benchLibrary "bench"
A simple banchmark library to analyse script performance and bottlenecks.
Very useful if you are developing an overly complex application in Pine Script, or trying to optimise a library / function / algorithm...
Supports artificial looping benchmarks (of fast functions)
Supports integrated linear benchmarks (of expensive scripts)
One important thing to note is that the Pine Script compiler will completely ignore any calculations that do not eventually produce chart output. Therefore, if you are performing an artificial benchmark you will need to use the bench.reference(value) function to ensure the calculations are executed.
Please check the examples towards the bottom of the script.

Realtime 5D Profile [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays a realtime profile that can be configured to visualize five dimensions: volume, price, time, activity and age. For each price level in a bar or timeframe, you can display total or delta volume or ticks. The tick count measures activity on a level. The thickness of each level's line indicates its age, which helps you identify the most recent levels.
█ WARNING
The indicator only works in real time. Contrary to TradingView's line of volume profile indicators , it does not show anything on historical bars or closed markets, and it cannot display volume information if none exists for the data feed the chart is using. A realtime indicator such as this one only displays information accumulated while it is running on a chart. The information it calculates cannot be saved on charts, nor can it be recalculated from historical bars. If you refresh the chart, or the script must re-execute for some reason, as when you change inputs, the accumulated information will be lost.
Because "Realtime 5D Profile" requires time to accumulate information on the chart, it will be most useful to traders working on small timeframes who trade only one instrument and do not frequently change their chart's symbol or timeframe. Traders working on higher timeframes or constantly changing charts will be better served by TradingView's volume profiles. Before using this indicator, please see the "Limitations" section further down for other important information.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart (see here if you don't know how).
The default configuration displays:
• A double-sided volume profile showing at what price levels activity has occurred.
• The left side shows "down" volume, the right side shows "up" volume.
• The value corresponding to each level is displayed.
• The width of lines reflects their relative value.
• The thickness of lines reflects their age. Four thicknesses are used, with the thicker lines being the most recent.
• The total value of down/up values for the profile appears at the top.
To understand how to use profiles in your trading, please research the subject. Searches on "volume profile" or "market profile" will yield many useful results. I provide you with tools — I do not teach trading. To understand more about this indicator, read on. If you choose not to do so, please don't ask me to answer questions that are already answered here, nor to make videos; I don't.
█ CONCEPTS
Delta calculations
Volume is slotted in up or down slots depending on whether the price of each new chart update is higher or lower than the previous update's price. When price does not move between chart updates, the last known direction is used. In a perfect world, Pine scripts would have access to bid and ask levels, as this would allow us to know for sure if market orders are being filled on upticks (at the ask) or downticks (at the bid). Comparing the price of successive chart updates provides the most precise way to calculate volume delta on TradingView, but it is still a compromise. Order books are in constant movement; in some cases, order cancellations can cause sudden movements of both the bid and ask levels such that the next chart update can occur on an uptick at a lower price than the previous one (or vice versa). While this update's volume should be slotted in the up slot because a buy market order was filled, it will erroneously be slotted in the down slot because the price of the chart's update is lower than that of the previous one. Luckily, these conditions are relatively rare, so they should not adversely affect calculations.
Levels
A profile is a tool that displays information organized by price levels. You can select the maximum quantity of levels this indicator displays by using the script's "Levels" input. If the profile's height is small enough for level increments to be less than the symbol's tick size, a smaller quantity of levels is used until the profile's height grows sufficiently to allow your specified quantity of levels to be displayed. The exact position of levels is not tethered to the symbol's tick increments. Activity for one level is that which happens on either side of the level, halfway between its higher or lower levels. The lowest/highest levels in the profile thus appear higher/lower than the profile's low/high limits, which are determined by the lowest/highest points reached by price during the profile's life.
Level Values and Length
The profile's vertical structure is dynamic. As the profile's height changes with the price range, it is rebalanced and the price points of its levels may be recalculated. When this happens, past updates will be redistributed among the new profile's levels, and the level values may thus change. The new levels where updates are slotted will of course always be near past ones, but keep this fluidity in mind when watching level values evolve.
The profile's horizontal structure is also dynamic. The maximum length of level lines is controlled by the "Maximum line length" input value. This maximum length is always used for the largest level value in the profile, and the length of other levels is determined by their value relative to that maximum.
Updates vs Ticks
Strictly speaking, a tick is the record of a transaction between two parties. On TradingView, these are detected on seconds charts. On other charts, ticks are aggregated to form a chart update . I use the broader "update" term when it names both events. Note that, confusingly, tick is also used to name an instrument's minimal price increment.
Volume Quality
If you use volume, it's important to understand its nature and quality, as it varies with sectors and instruments. My Volume X-ray indicator is one way you can appraise the quality of an instrument's intraday volume.
█ FEATURES
Double-Sided Profiles
When you choose one of the first two configuration selections in the "Configuration" field's dropdown menu, you are asking the indicator to display a double-sided profile, i.e., where the down values appear on the left and the up ones on the right. In this mode, the formatting options in the top section of inputs apply to both sides of the profile.
Single-Sided Profiles
The six other selections down the "Configuration" field's dropdown menu select single-sided profiles, where one side aggregates the up/down values for either volume or ticks. In this mode, the formatting options in the top section of inputs apply to the left profile. The ones in the following "Right format" section apply to the right profile.
Calculation Mode
The "Calculation" input field allows the selection of one of two modes which applies to single-sided profiles only. Values can represent the simple total of volume or ticks at each level, or their delta. The mode has no effect when a double-sided profile is used because then, the total is represented by the sum of the left and right sides. Note that when totals are selected, all levels appear in the up color.
Age
The age of each level is always displayed as one of four line thicknesses. Thicker lines are used for the youngest levels. The age of levels is determined by averaging the times of the updates composing that level. When viewing double-sided profiles, the age of each side is calculated independently, which entails you can have a down level on the left side of the profile appear thinner than its corresponding up side level line on the right side because the updates composing the up side are more recent. When calculating the age of single-sided profiles, the age of the up/down values aggregated to calculate the side are averaged. Since they may be different, the averaged level ages will not be as responsive as when using a double-sided profile configuration, where the age of levels on each side is calculated independently and follows price action more closely. Moreover, when displaying two single-sided profiles (volume on one side and ticks on the other), the age of both sides will match because they are calculated from the same realtime updates.
Profile Resets
The profile can reset on timeframes or trend changes. The usual timeframe selections are available, including the chart's, in which case the profile will reset on each new chart bar. One of two trend detection logics can be used: Supertrend or the one used by LazyBear in his Weis Wave indicator . Settings for the trend logics are in the bottommost section of the inputs, where you can also control the display of trend changes and states. Note that the "Timeframe" field's setting also applies to the trend detection mechanism. Whatever the timeframe used for trend detection, its logic will not repaint.
Format
Formatting a profile for charts is often a challenge for traders, and this one is no exception. Varying zoom factors on your chart and the frequency of profile resets will require different profile formats. You can achieve a reasonable variety of effects by playing with the following input fields:
• "Resets on" controls how frequently new profiles are drawn. Spacing out profiles between bars can help make them more usable.
• "Levels" determines the maximum quantity of levels displayed.
• "Offset" allows you to shift the profile horizontally.
• "Profile size" affects the global size of the profile.
• Another "Size" field provides control over the size of the totals displayed above the profile.
• "Maximum line length" controls how far away from the center of the bar the lines will stretch left and right.
Colors
The color and brightness of levels and totals always allows you to determine the winning side between up and down values. On double-sided profiles, each side is always of one color, since the left side is down values and the right side, up values. However, the losing side is colored with half its brightness, so the emphasis is put on the winning side. When there is no winner, the toned-down version of each color is used for both sides. Single-sided profiles use the up and down colors in full brightness on the same side. Which one is used reflects the winning side.
Candles
The indicator can color candle bodies and borders independently. If you choose to do so, you may want to disable the chart's bars by using the eye icon near the symbol's name.
Tooltips
A tooltip showing the value of each level is available. If they do not appear when hovering over levels, select the indicator by clicking on its chart name. This should get the tooltips working.
Data Window
As usual, I provide key values in the Data Window, so you can track them. If you compare total realtime volumes for the profile and the built-in "Volume" indicator, you may see variations at some points. They are due to the different mechanisms running each program. In my experience, the values from the built-in don't always update as often as those of the profile, but they eventually catch up.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The levels do not appear exactly at the position they are calculated. They are positioned slightly lower than their actual price levels.
• Drawing a 20-level double-sided profile with totals requires 42 labels. The script will only display the last 500 labels,
so the number of levels you choose affects how many past profiles will remain visible.
• The script is quite taxing, which will sometimes make the chart's tab less responsive.
• When you first load the indicator on a chart, it will begin calculating from that moment; it will not take into account prior chart activity.
• If you let the script run long enough when using profile reset criteria that make profiles last for a long time, the script will eventually run out of memory,
as it will be tracking unmanageable amounts of chart updates. I don't know the exact quantity of updates that will cause this,
but the script can handle upwards of 60K updates per profile, which should last 1D except on the most active markets. You can follow the number of updates in the Data Window.
• The indicator's nature makes it more useful at very small timeframes, typically in the sub 15min realm.
• The Weis Wave trend detection used here has nothing to do with how David Weis detects trend changes.
LazyBear's version was a port of a port, so we are a few generations removed from the Weis technique, which uses reversals by a price unit.
I believe the version used here is useful nonetheless because it complements Supertrend rather well.
█ NOTES
The aggregated view that volume and tick profiles calculate for traders is a good example of one of the most useful things software can do for traders: look at things from a methodical, mathematical perspective, and present results in a meaningful way. Profiles are powerful because, if the volume data they use is of good enough quality, they tell us what levels are important for traders, regardless of the nature or rationality of the methods traders have used to determine those levels. Profiles don't care whether traders use the news, fundamentals, Fib numbers, pivots, or the phases of the moon to find "their" levels. They don't attempt to forecast or explain markets. They show us real stuff containing zero uncertainty, i.e., what HAS happened. I like this.
The indicator's "VPAA" chart name represents four of the five dimensions the indicator displays: volume, price, activity and age. The time dimension is implied by the fact it's a profile — and I couldn't find a proper place for a "T" in there )
I have not included alerts in the script. I may do so in the future.
For the moment, I have no plans to write a profile indicator that works on historical bars. TradingView's volume profiles already do that, and they run much faster than Pine versions could, so I don't see the point in spending efforts on a poor ersatz.
For Pine Coders
• The script uses labels that draw varying quantities of characters to break the limitation constraining other Pine plots/lines to bar boundaries.
• The code's structure was optimized for performance. When it was feasible, global arrays, "input" and other variables were used from functions,
sacrificing function readability and portability for speed. Code was also repeated in some places, to avoid the overhead of frequent function calls in high-traffic areas.
• I wrote my script using the revised recommendations in the Style Guide from the Pine v5 User Manual.
█ THANKS
• To Duyck for his function that sorts an array while keeping it in synch with another array.
The `sortTwoArrays()` function in my script is derived from the Pine Wizard 's code.
• To the one and only Maestro, RicardoSantos , the creative volcano who worked hard to write a function to produce fixed-width, figure space-padded numeric values.
A change in design made the function unnecessary in this script, but I am grateful to you nonetheless.
• To midtownskr8guy , another Pine Wizard who is also a wizard with colors. I use the colors from his Pine Color Magic and Chart Theme Simulator constantly.
• Finally, thanks to users of my earlier "Delta Volume" scripts. Comments and discussions with them encouraged me to persist in figuring out how to achieve what this indicator does.
Never Going Back AgainDraws lines for each of up to 500 prices that have never been revisited at the present moment in time, as time progresses these levels may or may not hodl.
Adaptation of "Never Look Back Price" originally described by Timothy Peterson in his research paper entitled "Why Bitcoin's Price Is Never Looking Back".

Market Profile with TPOThis is is Market Profile with TPO (the letters) on the current session. Due to pinescript limitations, we are limited to 500 TPOs, since this script uses 1 label per TPO. It is NOT volume profile, this is Time Profile (Time spent at a price).
[AB] Support/Resistance Drawing ToolThis script is designed to help you identify viable support and resistance levels by automatically creating lines that become less transparent when said levels hold. It is based on Donchian Channels created by rounded closes, not by highs and lows. You can use it as an aid to draw your levels manually, or stick exclusively to automatic charting.
Available settings are as follows:
Source - highly recommended to use Close, but other options are available if you'd like to do some experimentation.
Source Rounding - the accuracy of price sampling; higher rounding will make your lines more visible at the expense of precision. It is highly recommended to use decimals.
Length (Array) - the overall lookback of the script (length of the array). This value shouldn't be higher than 500 if skip = 2, or 250 if skip = 1. If you'd like to reach further back into the past, I'd recommend switching timeframes instead of increasing this beyond 500.
Sampling Skip - how frequently the data is sampled. I wouldn't recommend going beyond 2, especially with the default settings.
Transparency Skip - you can think of it as "pencil hardness". The higher the skip, the bigger the imprint of a single level detection will be. Wouldn't recommend going beyond 10.
Color R, G, and B - you can use these settings to adjust the color of the lines.
Baekdoo multi OverSold OverBuy colored CandleHi forks,
I'm trader Baekdoosan who trading Equity from South Korea. This Baekdoo multi OverSold OverBuy colored candle will give you the idea of
multiple indicators in one shot with colored candle. Those indicators tell us that oversold or overbuy statistically. For the color, you can freely change
based on your comfort. For me, in Korea white candle has red color and black candle has blue color. So somewhat confusing for you. Anyway you can
easily modify color in the script. Please refer this line.
barcolor(open<close and result_pos == 4 ? color.new(color.red, 0) : open<close and result_pos == 3 ? color.new(color.red, 25) : open<close and result_pos == 2 ? color.new(color.red, 50) : open<close and result_pos == 1? color.new(color.red, 75) : na)
you can see I put different transparency at color.new() function with color code. Let me divide and conquer to explain for up candle
white candle and black candle.
1. White candle
with 4 oversold signal case with white candle tells us it is almost reached real bottom and try to rebound. In this case, I put vivid color (no transparency) on the candle. And all 4 signal case, I put text on "OverSold". It will not happen frequently. Then 2 approaches can be made.
(a) short term approach
You can buy on this time. and you set stop loss with open price. This is mainly aimed for technical rebound.
(b) long term approach
You can accumulate based on your budget with 5 times dividing. At that day might not be the very bottom but those period will most probably real bottom. You can put more weight on latter buy. Let say, 1 : 1.25 : 1.5 : 1.75 : 2.5. So for example, if you have $8,000 to investigate then, buy $1,000 and then $1,250, $1,500, accordingly. If price rebound then don't adding weight on accumulation but with the first amount that you buy(i.e., $1,000 with above example). With this approach, you will not have much stress and you will get profit well. If this is grand bottom case, then you can HODL this long term. What you needs is stick to the plan. :)
with 3 signals the color is less vivid, 2 signals is much less vivid, accordingly.
2. Black candle
The approaches are opposite to above. The signal will tells us for 4 overBuy signals, then vivid blue candle will be shown. Our strategy is distribute to sell. Please do not sell in one shot. As Newton said, "I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people". Strong buy phase, we don't know how far will it go. But indicators will tell us it is quite overSold situation. So what I can suggest you is sell it 10% to 20% on resistance price, and put 50% of lower than certain support price. Remember, accumulation and distribution will always better than one shot trading if you want to survive long time on this war field.
Hope this will help your trading on equity as well as crypto. I didn't try it on futures. Best of luck all of you. Gazua~!
