MarketSurge EPS Line [tradeviZion]MarketSurge EPS Line

Symbol Settings:
By default, the indicator analyzes the EPS data for the symbol currently displayed on your chart. The Custom Symbol feature allows you to:
Analyze EPS data for a different symbol without changing your chart
Compare earnings trends of related stocks or competitors
View EPS data for one symbol while analyzing price action of another
To use Custom Symbol:
Enable "Use Custom Symbol" checkbox
Click on "Custom Symbol" field to open TradingView's symbol picker
Search and select the symbol you want to analyze
The indicator will fetch and display EPS data for the selected symbol
Note: The chart will still show price action for your current symbol, but the EPS line will reflect the custom symbol's earnings data.
Data Settings:
EPS Field: Choose which earnings data source to use:
Actual Earnings: Reported earnings from company financial statements (default). Use this to analyze historical performance based on what companies actually reported.
Estimated Earnings: Analyst consensus forecasts for future quarters. Use this to see what analysts expect and compare expectations with actual results.
Standardized Earnings: Earnings adjusted for comparability across companies. Use this when comparing multiple stocks as it normalizes accounting differences.
Display Scale:
For the indicator to display correctly on the existing chart, it uses its own axis (right scale) by default. However, you can change this, but the view will not look the same. The right scale is recommended for optimal visibility as it allows the EPS line to be clearly visible alongside price action without compression.
Example: EPS line on separate right scale (recommended) - hover over labels to view detailed earnings tooltips
Example: EPS line pinned to Scale A (not recommended - appears as straight line due to small EPS range compared to price)
Example: EPS line displayed in separate pane below price chart
Methodology Credits:
This indicator implements the EPS line visualization methodology developed by Investor's Business Daily (IBD) for their MarketSurge platform (formerly known as MarketSmith). The EPS line concept helps visualize earnings momentum alongside price action, providing a fundamental overlay for technical analysis.
Technical Details:
Designed for daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes
Minimum 4 quarters of earnings data required
Uses TradingView's built-in earnings data
Automatically handles missing or invalid data
This indicator helps you visualize earnings trends alongside price action, providing a fundamental overlay for your technical analysis.
Marketsurge
EPS YoY% Labels (MarketSurge / IBD style)This script automatically calculates and displays year-over-year quarterly EPS growth (%) directly on the chart, in the same style used by MarketSurge / IBD.
🔹 Key Features
Detects each quarterly earnings report and shows EPS YoY growth as a label above the bar.
Works with both reported EPS and standardized EPS (selectable in settings).
Positive growth is highlighted in green, while negative growth is highlighted in red.
Optional setting to hide negative results for a cleaner, bullish-focused view.
Adjustable decimal precision (0–2 decimals) for percentage display.
🔹 Why it’s useful
EPS growth is one of the core fundamentals that top traders like Mark Minervini and William O’Neil (IBD) focus on when screening for market leaders.
Now you can see at a glance how a stock’s earnings power is accelerating or decelerating — without flipping between platforms.
Combine with Relative Strength (RS) analysis and price/volume patterns for a complete growth-stock trading workflow.
🔹 Example
If a company reports EPS of $1.20 this quarter vs. $0.80 in the same quarter last year, the label will display:
EPS +50% (green).
ChillLax Relative Strength Line with NewHigh NewLow Blue DotThis is similar to the IBD MarketSurge (MarketSmith) Blue Dot:
This plots the Relative Strength line vs. an index (default index is SPX), with a Dot when the RS line is hitting a New High.
If the RS hits a New High over the past X bars (default is 50), it shows a Light Blue (user definable) Dot on the RS line, if RS hits New High before the instrument hits New High, it shows a bigger/darker Blue Dot. Reverse for New Lows (orange for RS NL, Red for RS NL before Price NL)
This Dot is similar to the IBD Marketsurge RS New High Blue Dot, this indicator shows all the previous dots (MarketSurge shows only the last one). This on, unlike IBD, also shows RS New Lows. This one distinguishes RS NH before Price NH, and RS NL before Price NL. Lastly, IBD's lookback period is 52 week, here it is default to 50 days, but it is changeable.
Power OutageThe Power Outage indicator serves as the antithesis to the Power Trend, highlighting periods of extreme weakness or downtrends. Drawing inspiration from the Power Trend, the Power Outage framework was conceived by reversing the logic to highlight periods where being in cash or net short could be beneficial.
What Initiates a Power Outage?
The high is below the 21-day EMA for at least 10 consecutive days.
The 21-day EMA is below the 50-day SMA for a minimum of five days.
The 50-day SMA is on a downward trajectory.
The closing price is lower than the previous day's close.
A Power Outage can be a caution sign for traders to tighten up risk management and encourage defensive strategies or the consideration of short positions. Not only does this indicator clearly identify a Power Outage by a shaded background or shape plotted on the chart, but it also records metrics for each previous Power Outage.
The number of Power Outages that have occurred, their average length, and average depth (from the first day's close when the Power Outage activates to the low of the Power Outage) are all displayed to help assess the condition of the current Power Outage.
What Ends a Power Outage?
A Power Outage ends when the 21-day EMA crosses above the 50-day SMA, or when the price closes 10% above the recent low and above the 50-day SMA.
This indicator is designed to be viewed on a daily time frame.
MarketSmith IndicatorThis script provides you with several indicators that will enable you to mimic MarketSmith charts, even with a free TradingView plan.
You can use this script with my ' EPS & Sales ' indicator.
MarketSmith-style bars
The script offers an original approach to managing candlesticks within the code, making them almost identical to those on MarketSmith.
For a perfect display, select ' Bars ' on your chart and set the opacity of your candles to 100% to display only the candles proposed by this indicator.
If you don't want them, you can simply disable them in the ' Style ' tab by unchecking 'MarketSmith Bars' and 'Chars'.
These candles are designed to be used with a fix chart. (No beautiful result with zooming in or out.)
Normally, the display will still be correct by right-clicking, and ' Reset Chart '.
Simple customizable moving averages
With automatic distinction of the weekly time unit. You can choose to display them or not, select the calculation method and modify their length via the panel.
The RS Rating indicator
I've integrated the RS Rating indicator into this script, as the RS Rating is a fundamental component of this layout.
High and valley points
These points are used by MarketSmith to detect bases, patterns, cup & handle.
Designed for US Market only you won't be able to screen correctly the India market for example.
EPS & SalesHi everyone,
I just adapted a little utility script to visualise EPS % increase (quarters vs Year -1) and sales.
I used the code from @ARUN_SAXENA and modified it to fix what I saw as issues.
(Using base 3M instead of 1M +
request.earnings(syminfo.tickerid, earnings.actual, ignore_invalid_symbol=true)
instead of
request.financial(syminfo.tickerid, "EARNINGS_PER_SHARE", "FQ")
Data will differ from MarketSmith because they use sometimes actual EPS sometimes standard, but think we can at least trust what we see in term of %
The tool is far from being perfect !
