Up/Down Volume RatioUp/Down Volume Ratio is calculated by summing volume on days when it closes up and divide that total by the volume on days when the stock closed down.
High volume up days are typically a sign of accumulation(buying) by big players, while down days are signs of distribution(selling) by big market players. The Up Down volume ratio takes this assumption and turns it into a tangible number that's easier for the trader to understand. My formula is calculated using the past 50 periods, be warned it will not display a value for stocks with under 50 periods of trading history. This indicator is great for identify accumulation of growth stocks early on in their moves, most of the time you would like a growth stocks U/D value to be above 2, showing institutional sponsorship of a stock.
Up/Down Volume value interpretation:
U/D < 1 -> Bearish outlook, as sellers are in control
U/D = 1 -> Sellers and Buyers are equal
U/D > 1 -> Bullish outlook, as buyers are in control
U/D > 2 -> Bullish outlook, significant accumulation underway by market makers
U/D >= 3 -> MONSTER STOCK ALERT, market makers can not get enough of this stock and are ravenous to buy more
U/D values greater than 2 are rare and typically do not last very long, and U/D >= 3 are extremely rare one example I kind find of a stock's U/D peaking above 3 was Google back in 2005.

Relative Strength Line by @iArpanKHello Traders!
I'm a Momentum Trader, following the Indian & US markets. Most of us are familiar with the Relative Strength (RS) indicator, popularized by Investor's Business Daily (IBD) and available on their MarketSmith platform. So, here I'm sharing a script that does the same and additionally pops an alert label when the RS line hits a new high (similar to Blue Dot appearance on MarketSmith charts).
User Settings
Inputs tab
Base Symbol : Symbol of the security/index with which you want to compare your current active symbol.
Period : Number of days since which you want to scan for a new high (default is 250 days, which approximately pops alerts for new 52 week high in RS). For example, if you want to look for new 10 days high in RS, set the Period to 10.
Style tab
RS Line : Change color using the palette provided (default is blue).
Alert Label : Show/hide alert labels by checking/unchecking the box. Change color using the palette provided. Change alert label symbol.
Precision : Default is two decimal places. Can be changed as per requirement.
Usage
The indicator consists of two components- the Relative Strength (RS) line & alert labels on new RS highs. Relative strength gives a measure of how the underlying security is performing with respect to a base index or security. For example, how is NSE:DIXON performing w.r.t NSE:NIFTY or how is NASDAQ:AAPL performing w.r.t. the TVC:SPX .
A rising RS line tells us that the underlying entity is outperforming the base entity. Similarly, a declining RS line shows under-performance of the underlying entity. A new high in RS (especially before a new high in price) often gives valuable information about the underlying security's strength w.r.t. the general market, and can tip us off to a possible breakout in the price in near future.
Making RS lists (list of stocks making new high in RS on heavy down days in index) can be very helpful to sort out leaders that are best resisting the decline and are likely to move up aggressively when the market turns favorable.
The concept of RS is extensively used by momentum traders and growth stock traders. When used in conjunction with price & volume action, this can be a very powerful tool in your trading arsenal. You can now easily spot RS trends and new highs visually by simply adding this indicator to your chart!

Price StatsIntroduction
Price Stats is an indicator based on the statistics shown in MarketSmith charting software when viewing the Track Price information, also known as the "yellow box."
The following stats are available for the most recent price bar:
■ High price
■ Low price
■ Last price
■ Percent change in price from prior bar
■ Closing range within the bar
■ Current volume
■ Volume % change relative to the 50-day moving average volume
For daily charts:
■ 21-day EMA and % offset of price
■ 50-day SMA and % offset of price
■ 200-day SMA and % offset of price
Here's how to interpret the moving averages:
In the image below the 50-day SMA is 74.58 (8.04%). 74.58 represents the value of the 50-day SMA. 8.04% indicates that the current price is 8.04% above the SMA. A negative % would indicate the current price is the specified % below the SMA.
Volume Buzz 2.0Volume Buzz/Volume Run Rate as seen on TC2000 and MarketSmith respectively.
Basically, the volume buzz tells you what percentage over average(100 time period moving average) the volume traded was. You can use this indicator to more readily identify above-average trading volume and accumulation days on charts. The percentage will show up in the top left corner, make sure to click the settings button and uncheck the second box(left of plot) in order to get rid of the chart line.
Pictured above, a chart with the volume on the bottom along with the 50-day moving average applied to volume. As you can see in the top left it will tell you the "volume buzz" of that day, telling you what days were on above-average volume and how above-average those days were.
TraderLion's Relative Strength LineRelative Strength Line
Introduction
The script adds a line/candlestick to your charts that shows how well a stock is acting relative to the Index. We call this Relative Strength Line.
Relative Strength ( RS ) separates leading stocks from laggards. Stocks showing RS during a market correction phase will often be the strongest movers once the general market is ready to cooperate.
