When comparing two stock prices over a period of time, the statistical moments—mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis—can provide a deep insight into the behavior of the stock prices and their distributions. Here’s what each moment signifies in this context:
1. Mean
Definition: The mean (or average) is the sum of the stock prices over the period divided by the number of data points. It represents the central value of the price series.
Interpretation: When comparing two stocks, the mean tells you the average price level of each stock over the period. A higher mean indicates that, on average, the stock price is higher compared to another stock with a lower mean.
Comparison Insight: If Stock A has a higher mean price than Stock B, it implies that Stock A's prices are generally higher than those of Stock B over the given period.
2. Variance
Definition: Variance measures the dispersion or spread of the stock prices around the mean. It is the average of the squared differences from the mean.
Interpretation: A higher variance indicates that the stock prices fluctuate more widely from the mean, implying greater volatility. Conversely, a lower variance indicates more stable and predictable prices.
Comparison Insight: Comparing the variances of two stocks helps in assessing which stock has more price volatility. If Stock A has a higher variance than Stock B, it means Stock A's prices are more volatile and less predictable compared to Stock B.
3. Skewness
Definition: Skewness measures the asymmetry of the distribution of stock prices around the mean. It can be positive, negative, or zero:
Positive Skewness: The distribution has a long right tail, with more frequent small returns and fewer large positive returns.
Negative Skewness: The distribution has a long left tail, with more frequent small returns and fewer large negative returns.
Zero Skewness: The distribution is symmetric around the mean.
Interpretation: Skewness tells you about the direction of outliers in the stock price distribution. Positive skewness means a higher probability of large positive returns, while negative skewness means a higher probability of large negative returns.
Comparison Insight: By comparing skewness, you can understand the nature of extreme returns for two stocks. For example, if Stock A has positive skewness and Stock B has negative skewness, Stock A might have more frequent large gains, whereas Stock B might have more frequent large losses.
4. Kurtosis
Definition: Kurtosis measures the "tailedness" of the distribution of stock prices. It indicates how much of the distribution is in the tails versus the center. High kurtosis means more outliers (extreme returns), while low kurtosis means fewer outliers.
Interpretation:
High Kurtosis: Indicates a higher likelihood of extreme price movements (both high and low) compared to a normal distribution.
Low Kurtosis: Indicates that extreme price movements are less common.
Comparison Insight: Comparing kurtosis between two stocks shows which stock has more extreme returns. If Stock A has higher kurtosis than Stock B, it means Stock A has more frequent extreme price changes, suggesting more risk or opportunities for large gains or losses.
Summary
Mean: Compares average price levels.
Variance: Compares price volatility.
Skewness: Compares the asymmetry of price movements.
Kurtosis: Compares the likelihood of extreme price changes.
By analyzing these statistical moments, you can gain a comprehensive view of how the two stocks behave relative to each other, which can inform investment decisions based on risk, return expectations, and the nature of price movements.

Clear Table Display: Presents key information like Stop Loss and Take Profit levels in a user-friendly table, making it easier to track trade targets.
How It Works
Supertrend Calculation: The Supertrend is calculated using ATR (Average True Range) to gauge market volatility. The script then creates buffer zones around the Supertrend line for refined signal generation.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy: When the close price crosses above the upper buffer zone, indicating a potential uptrend.
Sell: When the close price crosses below the lower buffer zone, suggesting a potential downtrend.
Take Profit & Stop Loss:
Take Profits: Three TP levels are calculated based on ATR and a customizable profit factor.
Stop Loss: The stop-loss can be set as either a fixed value based on ATR or as a trailing stop-loss that dynamically adjusts to lock in profits.
How To Use
Add the Indicator: Search for "Supertrend (Buy/Sell) With TP & SL" in the TradingView indicators list and add it to your chart.
Customize Inputs: Adjust parameters like ATR Period, Factor, Take Profit Factor, Stop Loss Factor, Stop Loss Type, etc., based on your trading style and preferences.
Interpret Signals: Look for buy signals when the price crosses above the upper buffer and sell signals when it crosses below the lower buffer.
Manage Risk: Use the plotted Take Profit and Stop Loss levels to manage your risk and potential rewards.
Concepts

TICK Price Label Colors[Salty]The ticker symbol for the NYSE CUMULATIVE Tick Index is TICK. The Tick Index is a short-term indicator that shows the number of stocks trading up minus the number of stocks trading down. Traders can use this ratio to make quick trading decisions based on market movement. For example, a positive tick index can indicate market optimism, while readings of +1,000 and -1,000 can indicate overbought or oversold conditions.
This script is used to color code the price label of the Symbol values zero or above in Green(default), and values below zero in red(default). For a dynamic symbol like the TICK this tells me the market is bullish when Green or Bearish when Red. I was previously using the baseline style with a Base level of 50 to accomplish this view of the symbol, but it was always difficult to maintain the zero level at the zero TICK value. This indicator is always able to color code the price label properly. Also, it has the benefit of setting the timeframe to 1 second(default) that is maintained even when the chart timeframe is changed.
Update: Added the ability to show the TICK Symbol to support viewing multiple TICK tickers at once as shown.
Volume Spread Analysis [AlgoAlpha]Unleash the power of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) with our state-of-the-art indicator designed to detect market divergences and convergences, helping you make informed trading decisions. 📈
Key Features:
Detects bullish and bearish divergences based on volume and price movements. 📊🔍
Identifies bullish and bearish convergences, signaling potential trend continuations or reversals. 🔄📉
Customizable parameters for period length, volume SMA period, and outlier reduction factor. ⚙️🔧
Visual highlights for detected effects, with color-coded boxes and labels. 🟩🟥
Provides alerts for divergences and convergences, keeping you updated on market conditions. 🔔📬
📚 Introduction to Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) :
Volume Spread Analysis is a method used to interpret the relationship between volume and price to identify the intentions of market participants. By analyzing the spread (range) of a price bar and its corresponding volume, VSA helps traders discern market strength and potential reversals.
In VSA, harmony occurs when price and volume move in sync, such as when increasing prices(aka "Effect" in the script) are accompanied by increasing volume. This indicates a strong and healthy trend. Conversely, divergence happens when price and volume move in opposite directions. For example, if prices are rising lesser but volume is still high, it may signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal. Identifying these patterns helps traders understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
🛠 Quick Guide to Using the Volume Spread Analysis Indicator
⭐ Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favorites by pressing the star icon. Customize settings such as period length, volume SMA period, and outlier reduction factor to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for color-coded boxes indicating effects and labels showing effort values. Look for divergences and convergences to identify potential trading opportunities. A higher work done suggests that the markets are needing to work harder to move the price and users can use that information as displayed below each trend impulse box to analyze the likely hood of trend continuation/reversals.
🔔 Alerts: Enable alerts for divergences and convergences to stay informed of critical market conditions without constant chart monitoring.
🔍 How It Works:
Our indicator meticulously analyzes volume and price data to detect significant market movements. It identifies periods where volume is above or below a moving average, marks these points, and tracks the price effect over a user-defined range. By calculating the effort (volume) and effect (price movement), it distinguishes between divergences and convergences based on predefined conditions. Bullish and bearish conditions are visually represented with color-coded boxes and labels, making it easy to spot trading opportunities. Alerts can be set to notify you of critical market conditions, ensuring you never miss a potential trade setup.

RSI K-Means Clustering [UAlgo]The "RSI K-Means Clustering " indicator is a technical analysis tool that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with K-means clustering techniques. This approach aims to provide more nuanced insights into market conditions by categorizing RSI values into overbought, neutral, and oversold clusters.
The indicator adjusts these clusters dynamically based on historical RSI data, allowing for more adaptive and responsive thresholds compared to traditional fixed levels. By leveraging K-means clustering, the indicator identifies patterns in RSI behavior, which can help traders make more informed decisions regarding market trends and potential reversals.
🔶 Key Features
K-means Clustering: The indicator employs K-means clustering, an unsupervised machine learning technique, to dynamically determine overbought, neutral, and oversold levels based on historical RSI data.
User-Defined Inputs: You can customize various aspects of the indicator's behavior, including:
RSI Source: Select the data source used for RSI calculation (e.g., closing price).
RSI Length: Define the period length for RSI calculation.
Training Data Size: Specify the number of historical RSI values used for K-means clustering.
Number of K-means Iterations: Set the number of iterations performed by the K-means algorithm to refine cluster centers.
Overbought/Neutral/Oversold Levels: You can define initial values for these levels, which will be further optimized through K-means clustering.
Alerts: The indicator can generate alerts for various events, including:
Trend Crossovers: Alerts for when the RSI crosses above/below the neutral zone, signaling potential trend changes.
Overbought/Oversold: Alerts when the RSI reaches the dynamically determined overbought or oversold thresholds.
Reversals: Alerts for potential trend reversals based on RSI crossing above/below the calculated overbought/oversold levels.
RSI Classification: Alerts based on the current RSI classification (ranging, uptrend, downtrend).
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Adjusted RSI Value: The primary plot represents the adjusted RSI value, calculated based on the relative position of the current RSI compared to dynamically adjusted overbought and oversold levels. This value provides an intuitive measure of the market's momentum. The final overbought, neutral, and oversold levels are determined by K-means clustering and are displayed as horizontal lines. These levels serve as dynamic support and resistance points, indicating potential reversal zones.
Classification Symbols : The "RSI K-Means Clustering " indicator uses specific symbols to classify the current market condition based on the position of the RSI value relative to dynamically determined clusters. These symbols provide a quick visual reference to help traders understand the prevailing market sentiment. Here's a detailed explanation of each classification symbol:
Ranging Classification ("R")
This symbol appears when the RSI value is closest to the neutral threshold compared to the overbought or oversold thresholds. It indicates a ranging market, where the price is moving sideways without a clear trend direction. In this state, neither buyers nor sellers are in control, suggesting a period of consolidation or indecision. This is often seen as a time to wait for a breakout or reversal signal before taking a position.
Up-Trend Classification ("↑")
The up-trend symbol, represented by an upward arrow, is displayed when the RSI value is closer to the overbought threshold than to the neutral or oversold thresholds. This classification suggests that the market is in a bullish phase, with buying pressure outweighing selling pressure. Traders may consider this as a signal to enter or hold long positions, as the price is likely to continue rising until the market reaches an overbought condition.
Down-Trend Classification ("↓")
The down-trend symbol, depicted by a downward arrow, appears when the RSI value is nearest to the oversold threshold. This indicates a bearish market condition, where selling pressure dominates. The market is likely experiencing a downward movement, and traders might view this as an opportunity to enter or hold short positions. This symbol serves as a warning of potential further declines, especially if the RSI continues to move toward the oversold level.
Bullish Reversal ("▲")
This signal occurs when the RSI value crosses above the oversold threshold. It indicates a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend, suggesting that the market may start to move higher. Traders might use this signal as an opportunity to enter long positions.
Bearish Reversal ("▼")
This signal appears when the RSI value crosses below the overbought threshold. It suggests a possible transition from an uptrend to a downtrend, indicating that the market may begin to decline. This signal can alert traders to consider entering short positions or taking profits on long positions.
These classification symbols are plotted near the adjusted RSI line, with their positions adjusted based on the standard deviation and a distance multiplier. This placement helps in visualizing the classification's strength and ensuring clarity in the indicator's presentation. By monitoring these symbols, traders can quickly assess the market's state and make more informed trading decisions.

How It Works ⚙️
The indicator calculates market sentiment by averaging the volume and closing prices over a user-defined lookback period, creating a sentiment score. It differentiates between bullish and bearish sentiment by evaluating whether the closing price is higher or lower than the opening price, summing the respective volumes. The true sentiment is determined by comparing these summed values, with a positive score indicating bullish sentiment and a negative score indicating bearish sentiment. The indicator further normalizes this sentiment score by dividing it by the EMA of the highest high minus the lowest low over double the lookback period, ensuring values are constrained between -1 and 1. Bullish and bearish impulses are identified using Hull Moving Averages (HMA) of the positive and negative sentiments, respectively. When these impulses exceed a calculated threshold based on the standard deviation of the sentiment, it indicates a significant trend change. The script also includes a gradient color table to visually represent the strength of sentiment, and customizable alerts to notify users of key sentiment changes and trend impulses.

By distinguishing between Accumulation, Uptrend, Distribution, and Downtrend phases, this indicator provides a clear and color-coded representation of market conditions, aiding in better decision-making and strategy development. It is especially useful for long-term investors to observe and understand market cycles over extended periods. The phases are color-coded for easy identification: Green for Accumulation, Blue for Uptrend, Yellow for Distribution, and Red for Downtrend.
Key Features
Identifies four key market phases: Accumulation, Uptrend, Distribution, and Downtrend
Uses a combination of moving averages and volatility measures
Color-coded background for easy visualization of market phases
Adjustable parameters for moving average length, volatility length, and volatility threshold
Plots the moving average and Average True Range (ATR) for reference
Suitable for both short-term trading and long-term investing
Concepts Underlying the Calculations
The calculations behind the Market Cycle Phases Indicator are straightforward, combining the principles of moving averages and volatility measures:
Moving Average (MA): A simple moving average is used to determine the overall trend direction.
Average True Range (ATR): This measures market volatility over a specified period.
Volatility Threshold: A multiplier is applied to the ATR to distinguish between high and low volatility conditions.
How It Works
The indicator first calculates a moving average (MA) of the closing prices and the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. Based on the position of the price relative to the MA and the current volatility level, the indicator determines the current market phase:
Accumulation Phase: Price is below the MA, and volatility is low (Green background). This phase often indicates a period of consolidation and potential buying interest before an uptrend.
Uptrend Phase: Price is above the MA, and volatility is high (Blue background). This phase represents a strong upward movement in price, often driven by increased buying activity.
Distribution Phase: Price is above the MA, and volatility is low (Yellow background). This phase suggests a period of consolidation at the top of an uptrend, where selling interest may start to increase.
Downtrend Phase: Price is below the MA, and volatility is high (Red background). This phase indicates a strong downward movement in price, often driven by increased selling activity.
How Traders Can Use It

The color is stronger at the beginning of the trend and weaker at the end, helping traders to visually assess the trend's development.
Detailed Explanation:
Configuration:
Length for Trend Calculation: This input defines the period over which the trend is calculated. The default value is 14. This means the script will look at the past 14 bars to determine the trend.
Uptrend Color: This input sets the base color for uptrend lines and gradient. The default color is green.
Downtrend Color: This input sets the base color for downtrend lines and gradient. The default color is red.
Color Strength: This input defines the strength of the color gradient. A higher value means a stronger gradient effect from the start to the end of the trend.
Trend Calculation:
The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) over the defined length to identify trends.
Uptrend: Identified when the current close is above the SMA.
Downtrend: Identified when the current close is below the SMA.
Gradient Coloring:
The script uses a function to calculate the gradient color based on the position within the trend. The color is stronger at the beginning of the trend and becomes weaker towards the end.
Alpha Value: The transparency of the color is adjusted based on the position within the trend, creating a gradient effect.
Drawing Trend Lines:
Uptrend Lines: When an uptrend is identified, the script draws trend lines connecting the lows of the bars within the trend length, applying the gradient color.
Downtrend Lines: When a downtrend is identified, the script draws trend lines connecting the highs of the bars within the trend length, applying the gradient color.
These lines provide a visual representation of the trend strength over time.
Background Coloring:
The script also colors the background of the chart based on the trend, applying the gradient effect to further enhance visual cues for traders.
Indicator Benefits:
Visual Trend Identification: Helps traders quickly identify the direction and strength of trends using gradient coloring.
Enhanced Analysis: The gradient effect provides insights into the development of the trend, showing where it started strong and where it might be weakening.
Customizable Parameters: Allows traders to adjust the length for trend calculation and the strength of the gradient to suit different trading strategies and market conditions.
Justification of Component Combination:
Combining trend lines with gradient coloring provides a comprehensive visual tool for assessing trend strength and direction. The gradient effect enhances the trader's ability to see how trends develop over time.
How Components Work Together:
The script first calculates the SMA to identify trends.
It then draws trend lines connecting lows (for uptrends) and highs (for downtrends) with a gradient color.
The background color is also adjusted based on the trend direction, creating a unified visual tool for trend analysis.
Título: Linhas de Tendência com Gradiente
Descrição em Português:
Este indicador identifica linhas de tendência e aplica uma coloração em gradiente para visualizar a força da tendência ao longo do tempo. A cor é mais forte no início da tendência e mais fraca no final, ajudando os traders a avaliar visualmente o desenvolvimento da tendência.
Explicação Detalhada:
Configuração:
Comprimento para Cálculo da Tendência: Este input define o período sobre o qual a tendência é calculada. O valor padrão é 14. Isso significa que o script analisará os últimos 14 candles para determinar a tendência.
Cor da Tendência de Alta: Este input define a cor base para as linhas de tendência de alta e gradiente. A cor padrão é verde.
Cor da Tendência de Baixa: Este input define a cor base para as linhas de tendência de baixa e gradiente. A cor padrão é vermelha.
Força da Cor: Este input define a intensidade do efeito gradiente. Um valor mais alto significa um efeito de gradiente mais forte do início ao fim da tendência.
Cálculo da Tendência:
O script calcula uma média móvel simples (SMA) ao longo do comprimento definido para identificar as tendências.
Tendência de Alta: Identificada quando o fechamento atual está acima da SMA.
Tendência de Baixa: Identificada quando o fechamento atual está abaixo da SMA.
Coloração em Gradiente:
O script usa uma função para calcular a cor gradiente com base na posição dentro da tendência. A cor é mais forte no início da tendência e se torna mais fraca em direção ao final.
Valor Alpha: A transparência da cor é ajustada com base na posição dentro da tendência, criando um efeito de gradiente.
Desenho de Linhas de Tendência:
Linhas de Tendência de Alta: Quando uma tendência de alta é identificada, o script desenha linhas de tendência conectando as mínimas dos candles dentro do comprimento da tendência, aplicando a cor gradiente.
Linhas de Tendência de Baixa: Quando uma tendência de baixa é identificada, o script desenha linhas de tendência conectando as máximas dos candles dentro do comprimento da tendência, aplicando a cor gradiente.
Essas linhas fornecem uma representação visual da força da tendência ao longo do tempo.
Coloração de Fundo:
O script também colore o fundo do gráfico com base na tendência, aplicando o efeito gradiente para melhorar ainda mais as dicas visuais para os traders.
Benefícios do Indicador:
Identificação Visual de Tendências: Ajuda os traders a identificar rapidamente a direção e a força das tendências usando a coloração em gradiente.
Análise Aprimorada: O efeito gradiente fornece insights sobre o desenvolvimento da tendência, mostrando onde ela começou forte e onde pode estar enfraquecendo.
Parâmetros Personalizáveis: Permite que os traders ajustem o comprimento para cálculo da tendência e a intensidade do gradiente para se adequar a diferentes estratégias de negociação e condições de mercado.
Justificação da Combinação de Componentes:
Combinar linhas de tendência com coloração em gradiente fornece uma ferramenta visual abrangente para avaliar a força e a direção das tendências. O efeito gradiente melhora a capacidade do trader de ver como as tendências se desenvolvem ao longo do tempo.
Como os Componentes Funcionam Juntos:
O script primeiro calcula a SMA para identificar as tendências.
Em seguida, desenha linhas de tendência conectando mínimas (para tendências de alta) e máximas (para tendências de baixa) com uma cor gradiente.
A cor de fundo também é ajustada com base na direção da tendência, criando uma ferramenta visual unificada para análise de tendências.
Enhanced Trend Arrows with Moving Average [ST]Enhanced Trend Arrows with Moving Average
Description in English:
This indicator is designed to identify market trends using a moving average and displays arrows after three consecutive closes above or below the moving average. It helps traders visualize confirmed trends and make informed decisions.
Detailed Explanation:
Configuration:
Length: Defines the period over which the moving average is calculated. The default value is 14.
MA Type: Allows choosing between a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Uptrend Color: Sets the color of the arrows indicating an uptrend. The default color is green.
Downtrend Color: Sets the color of the arrows indicating a downtrend. The default color is red.
Moving Average Calculation:
The moving average (MA) is calculated based on the selected type (SMA or EMA) and period. The SMA is the simple arithmetic mean of the closing prices over the specified period, while the EMA gives more weight to recent prices.
Trend Identification:
The script detects when the price crosses above (crossover) or below (crossunder) the moving average.
When a crossover occurs (price moves above the MA), it indicates a potential uptrend, and the trend variable is set to 1.
When a crossunder occurs (price moves below the MA), it indicates a potential downtrend, and the trend variable is set to -1.
The script tracks the closing price at the crossover or crossunder point using the trendPrice variable.
It also counts consecutive bars above or below the moving average to confirm the trend, using above_count for uptrend and below_count for downtrend.
Arrow Display:
The script displays an up arrow ("▲") after three consecutive closes above the moving average, indicating a confirmed uptrend.
Similarly, it displays a down arrow ("▼") after three consecutive closes below the moving average, indicating a confirmed downtrend.
The arrows are displayed at the trendPrice level to clearly indicate the point at which the trend was confirmed.
Indicator Benefits:
Trend Identification: Helps traders identify market trends using moving averages, which are widely used in technical analysis.
Visual Cues: The arrows provide clear visual signals for confirmed trends, making it easier for traders to make informed decisions.
New Features and Enhancements:
This script has been enhanced to provide more accurate trend identification by ensuring arrows are only displayed after three consecutive closes above or below the moving average.
The color customization options for uptrend and downtrend arrows have been added for better visualization.
Improved description and explanations to make the functionality and usage of the indicator clearer.
Trend identifier with signals - Swing TradingIndicator Objective
The "Trend identifier with signals - Swing Trading" indicator is designed to help traders identify market trends and provide clear visual signals for potential buy and sell points based on the interaction of price with the 20-period moving average.
How the Indicator Works
20-Period Moving Average:
The indicator calculates the 20-period simple moving average (SMA), which is a common tool for smoothing out price fluctuations and identifying the overall market direction.
The moving average is plotted on the chart, changing color according to the identified trend:
Green: Indicates an uptrend.
Red: Indicates a downtrend.
Gray: Indicates a neutral or undefined market condition.
Trend Identification on the Daily Chart:
The indicator checks the trend based on an adjustable period (default is 5 periods):
Uptrend: When the short-term moving average (5 periods) is above the long-term moving average (10 periods).
Downtrend: When the short-term moving average (5 periods) is below the long-term moving average (10 periods).
Signal for Touching the Moving Average:
When the price crosses the 20-period moving average, the candles are colored purple to indicate that there was a touch on the moving average.
This helps identify critical points where the price may reverse or continue its trend.
Trend Signal:
Green Flag: Appears below the candle when there is a touch on the moving average and the trend is up, suggesting a potential buy point.
Red Flag: Appears above the candle when there is a touch on the moving average and the trend is down, suggesting a potential sell point.
Lateral Zone Identification:
The indicator also checks if the price touched the moving average for 5 consecutive candles, indicating a possible consolidation or lateral zone.
If this occurs, a message "Possible Lateral Zone" is shown on the chart, helping the trader avoid trades in a market without a clear direction.
How the Indicator Helps Traders
Clear Trend Identification:
By changing the color of the moving average according to the trend (green for up, red for down), the indicator provides a clear visualization of market direction.
This allows traders to align their trades with the prevailing trend, increasing the probability of success.
Visual Buy and Sell Signals:
The green and red flags provide direct visual signals for potential entry and exit points, based on the interaction of price with the moving average.
This is particularly useful for novice traders who may struggle to identify these points on their own.
Risk Management and Trade Planning:
Identifying lateral zones helps traders avoid trading in trendless markets, where price movements are more unpredictable.
This improves risk management and allows traders to focus on more favorable opportunities.
CoT Trend Change MomentumI discovered that whenever there's huge change in long IO or short IO there will be a momentum shift. So, I created this indicator to spot massive explosive volume changes for commercials and non commercials activity. Using standard deviation 2 and -2 as extreme point. Whatever crossing above standard deviation 2 indicating positions are added regardless whether it is long or shorts, whatever crossing below standard deviation -2 means positions are closed.
This is how I use this indicator:
1) In this example , i use only the commercials long and shorts. Whenever the longs exceed stdeviation +2, means that long volume flow in massively, for me this can be indicating potential to the upside. Whenever longs fall below stdeviation-2, for me this can be indicating that commercials are either taking profits for the short positions or accumulating for another bull price.
2) For shorts same logic applied here, when it exceeds stdeviation +2, mean commercials shorts position increase massively, when it exceeds stdeviation-2, means that commercials closed their short positions.
For this script, I use 13 weeks period as lookback, u guys may directly modify the period in the script to set the period that u want.
I've added for non-commercials as well, to ease people who emphasizes on non-commercials positioning analysis process.
I'm still trying to incorporate this with Open Interest Analysis. Hopefully u guys find this indicator useful. Feel free to modify it, to understand it more, my suggestions are u compare date by date the positions, to see the extreme points. The indicator only works in weekly chart, it is non repainted only in weekly chart, meaning that the indicator shows the histogram just as the week open.
Stocks Above 5-Day Average (FOMO)Overview
Inspired by Matt Carusos's FOMO indicator, this breadth indicator is designed to provide a visual representation of the percentage of stocks within major indices that are trading above their 5-day moving average.
Functionality
The indicator plots the percentage of stocks trading above their 5-day moving average for the following indices:
S&P 500
Nasdaq
Russell 2000
Dow Jones
All Markets (MMFD)
The indicator includes two horizontal lines:
Upper Threshold: Default at 85%
Lower Threshold: Default at 15%
These lines are used to identify potential overbought (above upper threshold) or oversold (below lower threshold) conditions.
Plot Shapes:
Small circles are plotted at the points where the percentage of stocks crosses the upper or lower thresholds, with colors matching the respective index.
Table:
The current percentage of stocks above the 5-day average for each index.
A warning sign (⚠️) is shown in the table if the percentage crosses the upper or lower threshold, regardless of whether the index plot is enabled or not.
MM Sector Intraday TrackerWhat this script does:
This script tracks the percent that price has moved from the opening print of each of the 9 sector ETFs. It color codes the values so you can see which sectors are down (red color) and which sectors are up (green color). If a sector is only up or down half of one ATR, it the color will be light, but if it is beyond half of one ATR, it is a darker color.
How this script works:
It simply measures the distance that price has moved from the opening print today, and presents that information in an easy to read table on your chart.
How to use this script:
If all sectors are moving in one direction, it indicates that the entire market is in a trend day in that direction. You can use this information to decide which direction you should be trading (ie. with trend). For example, in order for there to be healthy bullish moves in the market, you would want this indicator to show you that all sectors are green, or at least that some sectors are green, which would indicate that there is healthy rotation of capital across the market sectors.
What makes this script original:
Most indicators and even the TradingView watchlist measure the percent changed on the day from the closing price of a stock on the prior trading day, essentially telling you what sentiment is since yesterday. This script tells you the sentiment today since it is priced from the opening print.

Markov Chain Trend IndicatorOverview
The Markov Chain Trend Indicator utilizes the principles of Markov Chain processes to analyze stock price movements and predict future trends. By calculating the probabilities of transitioning between different market states (Uptrend, Downtrend, and Sideways), this indicator provides traders with valuable insights into market dynamics.
Key Features
State Identification: Differentiates between Uptrend, Downtrend, and Sideways states based on price movements.
Transition Probability Calculation: Calculates the probability of transitioning from one state to another using historical data.
Real-time Dashboard: Displays the probabilities of each state on the chart, helping traders make informed decisions.
Background Color Coding: Visually represents the current market state with background colors for easy interpretation.
Concepts Underlying the Calculations
Markov Chains: A stochastic process where the probability of moving to the next state depends only on the current state, not on the sequence of events that preceded it.
Logarithmic Returns: Used to normalize price changes and identify states based on significant movements.
Transition Matrices: Utilized to store and calculate the probabilities of moving from one state to another.
How It Works
The indicator first calculates the logarithmic returns of the stock price to identify significant movements. Based on these returns, it determines the current state (Uptrend, Downtrend, or Sideways). It then updates the transition matrices to keep track of how often the price moves from one state to another. Using these matrices, the indicator calculates the probabilities of transitioning to each state and displays this information on the chart.
How Traders Can Use It
Traders can use the Markov Chain Trend Indicator to:
Identify Market Trends: Quickly determine if the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways state.
Predict Future Movements: Use the transition probabilities to forecast potential market movements and make informed trading decisions.
Enhance Trading Strategies: Combine with other technical indicators to refine entry and exit points based on predicted trends.
Example Usage Instructions
Add the Markov Chain Trend Indicator to your TradingView chart.
Observe the background color to quickly identify the current market state:
Green for Uptrend, Red for Downtrend, Gray for Sideways
Check the dashboard label to see the probabilities of transitioning to each state.
Use these probabilities to anticipate market movements and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Combine the indicator with other technical analysis tools for more robust decision-making.
ThePawnAlgoThe Pawn Algo is a simple indicator that is useful for scalping in sync with a higher timeframe should only be use in clear trending markets.
What it does and How it does it?
The script is based of a simple pattern close above previous candle high means higher prices we can see it in a green bar. Close below previous candle low means lower prices we can see it in a red bar. Close inside previous candle range means price is going to consolidate do some kind of retracement or reversal we mark it in a black or dark color bar.
It plot an arrow and a liquidity level when it detects a change in sentiment from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish.
It plot the Higher timeframe previous completed candle range into the selected Lower timeframe to easily see the HTF levels into the lower timeframe.
The HTF range change colors depending of previous HTF candles closes following the same idea, close above previous candle high means green range, close below previous candle low means red range and close inside means a gray range. Finally it plots the 50% of the HTF range and the previous close high and low.
Finally it draws a yellow value zone that is the difference between the previous candle close and 50% of the previous range. This zone is ideal for taking continuation trades in favor of the HTF trend.
How to use it?
You must first select a higher timeframe in minutes in the settings default value is 1440minutes then select a lower timeframe is the maximum timeframe in where the HTF will be visible. Default lower timeframe is 15minutes.
Then just wait for the HTF candle to close and engage in the LTF when price is around the value yellow zone in a premium or discount.
Green arrows are automatically plot when HTF is bullish and Red arrows when is bearish by default. But you can enable or disable the arrow signals liquidity levels or configure as you want. Making all signals visible or just the buys or sells.
The script is useful to easily identify the HTF draw on liquidity and recent key levels and then use the LTF structure to enter.
The indicator can be used to identify liquidity, price will seek this liquidity point sometimes sweep and then continue the move. if the liquidity or stop level is broken with a body is a clear change of direction.
Aggressor Volume ImbalanceAggressor volume imbalance represents the ratio between market aggressor buy volume (market buy orders) and market aggressor sell volume (market sell orders). This ratio enables traders to evaluate the interest of market aggressors and whether aggressive market activity favours the price's direction.
Analysing aggressor volume is critical in understanding market sentiment and aids in identifying shifts in momentum and potential exhaustion points in the market. When the aggressor buy volume significantly exceeds the sell volume, it typically indicates strong buying interest, driving prices higher if the offer-side liquidity cannot contain it, and vice versa.
How it Works
The imbalance ratio is calculated as follows, according to the selected session timeframe (see settings):
imbalance := ((buyVolumeAccumulator - sellVolumeAccumulator)
/ (buyVolumeAccumulator + sellVolumeAccumulator)) * 100
Aggressive Volume Imbalance uses lower timeframe historical data to calculate Historical Aggressor Volume Imbalances, while live data is used for live aggressor volume imbalances.
How to Use It
You can set the indicator to use any historical data timeframe you prefer. However, it is highly recommended to use lower timeframes (e.g., 1 second), as the lower the timeframe, the more granular the data.
The indicator resets to 0% whenever a new session timeframe begins (e.g., a new day) and calculates new values for the rest of the session. This can be configured in the settings.
First Candle DirectionWe determine the color of the first candle based on whether the closing price is greater than or equal to the opening price.
If the closing price is higher, the candle is green; otherwise, it’s red.
