Retail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed Index Retail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed Index Overview The Retail Sentiment Indicator provides real-time sentiment data for major financial instruments including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. This indicator displays retail trader positioning and market sentiment using CFD data and fear/greed indices. Methodology and Scale Calculation This indicator operates on a **-50 to +50 scale** with zero representing perfect market equilibrium. Scale Interpretation: - **Zero (0)**: Market balance - exactly 50% of investors buying, 50% selling - **Positive values**: Majority buying pressure - Example: If 63% of investors are buying, the indicator shows +13 (63 - 50 = +13) - **Negative values**: Majority selling pressure - Example: If 92% of investors are selling, the indicator shows -42 (50 - 92 = -42) BTC Fear & Greed Index Scaling: The original `BTC FEAR&GREED` index is natively scaled from 0-100 by its creator. In our indicator, this data has been rescaled to also fit the -50 to +50 range for consistency with other sentiment data sources. This unified scaling approach allows for direct comparison across all instruments and data sources within the indicator. -Important Data Source Selection- Bitcoin (BTC) Data Sources When viewing Bitcoin charts, the indicator offers **two different data sources**: 1. **Default Auto-Mode**: `BTCUSD Retail CFD` - Retail CFD traders sentiment data (automatically loaded). 2. **Manual Selection**: `BTC FEAR&GREED` - Fear & Greed Index from website: alternative dot me **To access BTC Fear & Greed Index**: Input settings -> disable checkbox "Auto-load Sentiment Data" -> manually select "BTC FEAR&GREED" from the dropdown menu.

Data is updated regularly and sourced from reputable financial data providers. Trading Strategy & Market Philosophy Contrarian Trading Approach The primary purpose of this indicator is based on the fundamental market principle that **the majority of retail investors are often wrong**, and markets typically move opposite to the positions held by the majority of market participants. Key Strategy Guidelines: - **Contrarian Signal**: When the majority of users are positioned on one side of the market, there is statistically greater market advantage in taking positions in the opposite direction - **Trend Exhaustion Signal**: An interesting observed phenomenon occurs when, during a long-lasting trend where the majority of investors have consistently been on the wrong side, the Sentiment indicator suddenly shows that the majority has flipped and opened positions in the direction of that long-running trend. This is often a signal of fuel exhaustion for further movement in that direction Interpretation Examples - High greed readings (majority bullish) → Consider bearish opportunities - High fear readings (majority bearish) → Consider bullish opportunities - Sudden sentiment flip during established trends → Potential trend reversal signal Technical Notes - Built with PineScript v6 - Dynamic symbol detection with fallback options - Optimized for performance with minimal resource usage - Color-coded visualization with customizable zones Data Sources & Expansion Acknowledgments We extend our gratitude to **TradingView** for enabling the use of custom data feeds based on GitHub repositories, making this comprehensive sentiment analysis possible. Data Expansion Opportunities As the operator of this indicator, I am **open to suggestions for new data sources** that could be integrated and published. If you have ideas for additional instruments or sentiment data: How to Submit Suggestions: 1. Send a **private message** with your proposal 2. Include: **instrument/data type**, **source**, and **brief description** 3. If technically feasible, we will work to import and publish the data Data Infrastructure Status Current Data Upload Process: Please note that sentiment data uploads may occasionally experience minor interruptions. However, this should not pose significant issues as sentiment data typically changes gradually rather than rapidly. Infrastructure Development: We are actively working on establishing permanent cloud-based infrastructure to ensure continuous, automated data collection and upload processes. This will provide more reliable and consistent data availability in the future. Disclaimer This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. Sentiment data should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and not as the sole basis for trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The contrarian approach described is a market theory and may not always produce profitable results.

Global Net Liquidity (TG fork)Worldwide net liquidity, with trend coloring. Global Net Liquidity attempts to represent worldwide net liquidity, and is defined as: Fed + Japan + China + UK + ECB - RRP - TGA , Where the first five components are central bank assets. On TradingView, the indicator can be reproduced with the following equations: Global Net Liquidity = FRED:WALCL + FRED:JPNASSETS * FX_IDC:JPYUSD + CNCBBS * FX_IDC:CNYUSD + GBCBBS * FX:GBPUSD + ECBASSETSW * FX:EURUSD + RRPONTSYD + WTREGEN However, this indicator adds a moving average cloud, and margin coloring, which eases historical trend assessment at a glance. This indicator can be seen as an alternative representation of the accumulation/distribution indicator (and hence the same terms can be used in this description). The Moving Average Cloud is simply the filling between the moving average (by default an EMA) and the current value. This feature was inspired by D7R ACC/DIST closed-source indicator, kudos to D7R for making such neat visual indicators. Usage instructions: Blue is more likely a phase of accumulation because the current value is above its historical price as defined by the moving average, red is when this is more likely a phase of distribution. Yellow is when the difference is below the margin, so we consider it is insignificant and that the trend is undecided. This can be disabled by setting the margin to 0. While the color indicates if it's more likely an accumulation (blue) or distribution (red) phase or undecided (yellow), the cloud's vertical size allows to assess the strength of this tendency and the horizontal size the momentum, so that the bigger the cloud, the stronger the accumulation (if cloud is blue) or distribution (if cloud is red). Why is that so? This is because the cloud represents the difference between the current tendency and the moving averaged past one, so a bigger cloud represents a bigger departure from recently observed tendencies. In practice, when there is accumulation, a pump in price can be expected soon, or if it already happened then it means it is indeed supported by volume, whereas if distribution, either a dump is to be expected soon, or if it already happened it means it's supported by volume. Or maybe not necessarily a dump, but if there is a move upward in price, but the indicator indicates a strong distribution, then it means that the price movement is not supported and may not be sustainable (reversal may happen at anytime), whereas if price is going upward AND there is an accumulation (blue coloring) then it is more sustainable. This can be used to adapt strategies accordingly (risk on/risk off depending on whether there is concordance of both price and accumulation/distribution). This indicator also includes sentiment signals that can be used to trigger alarms. This indicator is a remix of Dharmatech's, who authored the first this Global Net Liquidity equation, kudos to them! Please show them some love if you like this indicator!

Ichimoku Oscillator Hello All, This is Ichimoku Oscillator that creates different oscillator layers, calculates the trend and possible entry/exit levels by using Ichimoku Cloud features. There are four layer: First layer is the distance between closing price and cloud (min or max, depending on the main trend) Second layer is the distance between Lagging and Cloud X bars ago (X: the displacement) Third layer is the distance between Conversion and Base lines Fourth layer is the distance between both Leadlines If all layers are visible maning that positive according to the main trend, you can take long/short position and when main trend changed then you should close the position. so it doesn't mean you can take position when main trend changed, you need to wait for all other conditions met (all layers( there is take profit partially option. if Conversion and base lines cross then you can take profit partially. Optionally you can take profit partially when EMA line crosses Fourth layer. Optionally ATR (average true range) is used for Conversion and baseline for protection from whipsaws. you can use it to stay on the trend longer time. I added options to enable/disable the alert and customize alert messages. You can change alert messages as you wish. if you use ' close ' in the alert message then you can get closing price in the alert message when the alert was triggered. There is an option Bounce Off Support/Resistance , if there is trend and if the price bounce off Support/Resistance zone then a tiny triangle is shown. There are many other options for coloring, alerts etc. Some screenshots: Main trend: Taking/closing positions: Example alert messages: Bounce off: Colors: Colors: Colors: Non-colored background: P.S. For a few months I haven't published any new script because of some health issues. hope to be healthy and create new scripts in 2024 :) Enjoy!

Advance/Decline Line [IQ]Advance/Decline Line is a Market Breath indicator. A/D line calculates a ratio between total number stocks advancing and total number of stocks in one day, providing another way to grasp the market breath at any moment. We think the indicator covers the whole market, as we use data from the three main exchanges: NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), nicknamed "The Big Board") is by far the world's largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies. The Nasdaq Stock Market (NASDAQ) is ranked second on the list of stock exchanges by market capitalization of shares traded, behind the New York Stock Exchange. The American Stock Exchange (AMEX) is the third largest stock exchange in the U.S. after the NYSE and the NASDAQ, and handles approximately 10% of all American trades. How to interpret it: Green columns mean more than 50% of NASDAQ stocks are advancing, red columns mean more than 50% of NASDAQ stocks are declining. Green values above the top band mean correlation to the upside, red values bellow the low band mean correlation to the downside. Correlation means rising probability of capitulation (to the upside or to the downside) and is market by a white bar (as signal). Important: For a better interpretation, the Advance/Decline Line indicator should be used in conjunction with other indicators (volatility, volume, etc.).
