Hinton Map

█ HINTON MAP

This script displays a Hinton Map visualization of market data for user-defined tickers and timeframes. It uses color gradients to represent the magnitude and direction of price change, RSI, and a combination of both.

This is one example. You can modify and try other values as you wish, but do keep the incoming values between -1 and 1.

In the Example Usage:

Users can input up to 5 symbols and 5 timeframes. For each ticker/timeframe combination:

• The box size represents the relative magnitude of the 2-bar percentage change.
  
• The box fill color represents the direction and magnitude of the 2-bar percentage change.
  
• The box border color and thickness represent the RSI deviation from 50.
  
• The inner box color represents a combination of price change magnitude and RSI deviation from 50.
  
• Hovering over each box displays a tooltip with the ticker, timeframe, percentage change, and RSI.
