Currency Strength Meter (8 Majors) — invincible3
📊 Currency Strength Meter (8 Majors) — Description
The Currency Strength Meter (8 Majors) calculates the relative performance of the major global currencies — USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF — using aggregated logarithmic returns across all major FX pairs. Strength values are normalized on every bar, allowing users to quickly identify the strongest and weakest currencies at any moment in time.
Each currency’s strength is computed from a basket of 7 related currency pairs, smoothed with EMA, converted into z-scores, and finally normalized to a 0–100 scale for easy comparison.
A built-in table displays the real-time strength for all currencies, along with bar-to-bar delta and directional arrows.
🔶 SETTINGS

Delta (current – previous bar)
🔶 USAGE
This indicator helps traders quickly determine which currencies are strong and which are weak , and how that strength evolves over time.
Because currencies are evaluated relative to one another , trend strength becomes easier to identify across FX pairs.
Use cases include:
Finding strong vs. weak currency pair combinations
Confirming trend continuation or exhaustion
Identifying momentum shifts through the delta column
Spotting early reversals when strength begins to diverge
Comparing currency performance over multiple timeframes
📈 Example Interpretation
If the USD shows:
Strength = 82
Delta = +3 (▲)
…USD is not only strong, but also getting stronger relative to the previous bar.
If AUD shows:
Strength = 22
Delta = -5 (▼)
…AUD is weak and weakening further.
This makes strong/weak pairing intuitive:
Prefer strong vs weak pairs (e.g., USD/AUD if USD strong & AUD weak)
Avoid neutral or mixed-strength pairs
🔶 DETAILS
Currency Strength Calculation
For each currency pair, the indicator calculates the log-return over the selected lookback window.
Each currency aggregates 7 major related pairs to form a composite strength value.
The aggregated value is smoothed using EMA.
All 8 currencies are converted into z-scores, then normalized to a 0–100 scale for cross-sectional comparison.
A bar-to-bar delta is computed to reveal strengthening or weakening momentum.
This structure ensures the indicator remains stable, consistent, and highly responsive for intraday and higher-timeframe trading.
Strength
Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0
ST - Relative StrengthST - Relative Strength plots the relative strength of the current stock versus a benchmark index. It divides the stock’s close by the index close on the same timeframe, and you can switch the benchmark to any index or symbol you prefer. This helps you quickly see whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming its chosen benchmark over time.

Adaptive Trend Mapper-ATM (Arjo)Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) is a multi-factor trend, momentum, and compression-analysis tool designed to help traders visually map the strength and direction of market pressure.
Instead of simply combining existing indicators, ATM creates a new composite framework that blends momentum imbalance, directional strength, volatility contraction, and adaptive smoothing into a single, unified model.
Originality and usefulness
Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) does not replicate any one indicator.
It generates two custom indices— Bull Pressure Index and Bear Pressure Index —derived from a mathematical combination of RSI, inverse-RSI, and ADX. These indices behave differently from traditional oscillators:
They represent directional pressure on a 0–100 scale , not momentum.
They are designed to converge/diverge, forming a basis for the built-in Squeeze Detection Engine.
They can be optionally step-compressed , making the movement easier to read on fast or small charts.
The script also integrates a custom SuperSmoother trend model (not TradingView’s built-in function), which acts as an adaptive trend curve on the chart.
All calculations are combined intentionally—not as a mashup—to create a framework that allows traders to understand trend strength, compression phases, and micro-trend shifts in one place.
How the Indicator Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices:
These indices measure directional imbalance:
Bull Index = ADX strength weighted against inverse-RSI
Bear Index = ADX strength weighted against normal RSI
This produces two opposing pressure curves that rise or fall depending on whether buyers or sellers dominate.
You can optionally smooth these using:
SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA via the “Smoothing Settings” panel.
2. Squeeze & Compression Detection:
A squeeze is detected when:
ADX stays below a user-defined threshold
Bull–Bear Index difference shrinks
Average difference is falling (convergence)
This is a volatility-contraction model inspired by squeeze logic but applied to directional pressure, not Bollinger Bands/Keltner Channels .
3. Adaptive Trend Curve (SuperSmoother Engine)
The indicator applies a two-pole SuperSmoother filter to the price, then smooths it again using EMA.
The slope color flips between bullish and bearish and is displayed using:
A thin SuperSmoother curve
A thicker band for visual context
4. EMA-50 Trend Context:
An optional EMA-50 helps identify broad directional bias .
5. Step-Based Scaling
You can quantize the Bull/Bear indices using custom step intervals.
This makes the indicator easier to read on noisy intraday charts.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Analysis
A rising Bull Index shows strengthening upward pressure
A rising Bear Index shows strengthening downward pressure
Wide divergence between the indices signals a strong trend
2. Compression / Squeeze Analysis
Yellow background = volatility compression + pressure convergence
Breakouts from this zone often precede directional expansion
3. Trendline Reading
SuperSmoother line color flip = micro trend shift
EMA-50 slope gives macro-trend direction
Perfect for combining trend and momentum maps on the same chart
4. Visual Interpretation
Cyan/teal → strong bullish pressure
Purple/red/orange → various levels of bearish control
Neutral/teal background → weak ADX
Yellow background → squeeze zone
Open-Source Notes
This script uses:
TradingView built-in RSI, ADX/DMI, and smoothing functions
A SuperSmoother implementation based on known DSP filter coefficients
All remaining logic, signal methods, composite indices, and compression model are original developments by ARJO .
The script is published open-source to comply with TradingView’s reuse policy.

Average Directional Index infoAverage Directional Index (ADX) is a technical indicator created by J. Welles Wilder that measures trend strength (not direction!). Values range from 0 to 100.
This indicator is a supplementary tool for assessing whether trend strategies are worthwhile, monitoring changes in trend strength and avoiding weak, choppy movements
Value Interpretation:
0-25: Weak trend or sideways market
25-50: Moderate to strong trend
50-75: Very strong trend
75-100: Extremely strong trend (rare)
Important: ADX does not indicate trend direction (up/down), only its strength!
This script indicator includes additional features:
1. ADX Plot (purple line)
Basic ADX value showing current trend strength.
2. ADX Trend Analysis (arrows)
The script compares current ADX with its 10-period moving average with ±5% tolerance:
↑ (green): ADX rising → trend strengthening
↓ (red): ADX falling → trend weakening
⮆ (gray): ADX stable → trend strength unchanged
3. Information Table
Displays current ADX value with trend arrow in the top-right corner.
Parameters to Configure
Smoothing (default: 14) - Indicator smoothing period
Lower values (e.g., 7): more sensitive, more signals
Higher values (e.g., 21): more stable, less noise
Indicator Length (default: 14) - Period for calculating directional movement (+DI/-DI)
Wilder's standard value is 14
Trend Length (default: 10) - Period for moving average to analyze ADX dynamics
Determines how quickly changes in trend strength are detected
Practical Application
✅ Strategy 1: Trend Strength Filter
1. ADX > 25 → look for positions aligned with the trend
2. ADX < 25 → avoid trend strategies, consider oscillators
✅ Strategy 2: Entries on Strengthening Trend
1. ADX crosses above 25 + arrow ↑ → trend gaining momentum
2. Combine with other indicators (e.g., EMA) for direction confirmation
✅ Strategy 3: Exhaustion Warning
1. ADX > 50 + arrow ↓ → strong trend may be exhausting
2. Consider profit protection or trailing stop
Relative Performance Areas [LuxAlgo]The Relative Performance Areas tool enables traders to analyze the relative performance of any asset against a user-selected benchmark directly on the chart, session by session.
The tool features three display modes for rescaled benchmark prices, as well as a statistics panel providing relevant information about overperforming and underperforming streaks.
🔶 USAGE
Usage is straightforward. Each session is highlighted with an area displaying the asset price range. By default, a green background is displayed when the asset outperforms the benchmark for the session. A red background is displayed if the asset underperforms the benchmark.
The benchmark is displayed as a green or red line. An extended price area is displayed when the benchmark exceeds the asset price and is set to SPX by default, but traders can choose any ticker from the settings panel.
Using benchmarks to compare performance is a common practice in trading and investing. Using indexes such as the S&P 500 (SPX) or the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) to measure our portfolio's performance provides a clear indication of whether our returns are above or below the broad market.
As the previous chart shows, if we have a long position in the NASDAQ 100 and buy an ETF like QQQ, we can clearly see how this position performs against BTSUSD and GOLD in each session.
Over the last 15 sessions, the NASDAQ 100 outperformed the BTSUSD in eight sessions and the GOLD in six sessions. Conversely, it underperformed the BTCUSD in seven sessions and the GOLD in nine sessions.
🔹 Display Mode
The display mode options in the Settings panel determine how benchmark performance is calculated. There are three display modes for the benchmark:
Net Returns: Uses the raw net returns of the benchmark from the start of the session.
Rescaled Returns: Uses the benchmark net returns multiplied by the ratio of the benchmark net returns standard deviation to the asset net returns standard deviation.
Standardized Returns: Uses the z-score of the benchmark returns multiplied by the standard deviation of the asset returns.
Comparing net returns between an asset and a benchmark provides traders with a broad view of relative performance and is straightforward.
When traders want a better comparison, they can use rescaled returns. This option scales the benchmark performance using the asset's volatility, providing a fairer comparison.
Standardized returns are the most sophisticated approach. They calculate the z-score of the benchmark returns to determine how many standard deviations they are from the mean. Then, they scale that number using the asset volatility, which is measured by the asset returns standard deviation.
As the chart above shows, different display modes produce different results. All of these methods are useful for making comparisons and accounting for different factors.
🔹 Dashboard
The statistics dashboard is a great addition that allows traders to gain a deep understanding of the relationship between assets and benchmarks.
First, we have raw data on overperforming and underperforming sessions. This shows how many sessions the asset performance at the end of the session was above or below the benchmark.
Next, we have the streaks statistics. We define a streak as two or more consecutive sessions where the asset overperformed or underperformed the benchmark.
Here, we have the number of winning and losing streaks (winning means overperforming and losing means underperforming), the median duration of each streak in sessions, the mode (the number of sessions that occurs most frequently), and the percentages of streaks with durations equal to or greater than three, four, five, and six sessions.
As the image shows, these statistics are useful for traders to better understand the relative behavior of different assets.
🔶 SETTINGS
Benchmark: Benchmark for comparison
Display Mode: Choose how to display the benchmark; Net Returns: Uses the raw net returns of the benchmark. Rescaled Returns: Uses the benchmark net returns multiplied by the ratio of the benchmark and asset standard deviations. Standardized Returns: Uses the benchmark z-score multiplied by the asset standard deviation.
🔹 Dashboard
Dashboard: Enable or disable the dashboard.
Position: Select the location of the dashboard.
Size: Select the dashboard size.
🔹 Style
Overperforming: Enable or disable displaying overperforming sessions and choose a color.
Underperforming: Enable or disable displaying underperforming sessions and choose a color.
Benchmark: Enable or disable displaying the benchmark and choose colors.
Luxy Sector & Industry RS AnalyzerEver wonder why some stocks soar while others in the same sector barely move? Or why your perfectly timed entry still loses money? Possibly the answer can be found in Relative Strength.
The Luxy Sector & Industry RS Analyzer solves a critical problem that most traders overlook: picking strong stocks in strong sectors AND strong industries . It's not enough for a stock to go up - you want stocks that are crushing their competition at both the sector AND industry level. This indicator does the heavy lifting by automatically comparing your stock against its sector ETF, industry ETF, the broader market, sector leader, and industry leader, giving you a complete multi-level picture of relative performance.
What makes this different?
- Automatic sector AND industry detection - no manual setup required
- Multi-level hierarchy analysis: Market → Sector → Industry → Stock
- Multi-timeframe analysis (1 month to 1 year) in one glance
- Industry ETF mapping (30+ industries covered)
- Clear 0-100 scoring system with letter grades (A+ to F)
- Works on stocks, crypto, forex, and commodities
- Real-time updates with anti-repaint protection
Think of it as your performance dashboard - instantly showing you if you're trading a champion or a laggard at every level of the market hierarchy.
METHODOLOGY & ATTRIBUTION
This indicator is based on classical Relative Strength (RS) analysis principles from technical analysis. RS methodology compares an asset's price performance against a benchmark to identify relative outperformance or underperformance. This concept has been used by professional traders and institutions for decades.
Key Concepts Used:
Relative Strength (RS) - Classical technical analysis concept measuring comparative performance
Multi-Level Hierarchy Analysis - Market → Sector → Industry → Stock comparison
Sector Rotation Analysis - Identifying which sectors are leading or lagging the market
Industry Rotation Analysis - Identifying which industries are leading within their sectors
Multi-period Performance Analysis - Evaluating strength across multiple timeframes
Beta Calculation - Standard statistical measure of volatility relative to a benchmark
DISCLAIMER: This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It should not be considered financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Always do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
with all rows visible - capture when stock has strong RS score (70+) so users can see what a "good" setup looks like]
WHAT THE INDICATOR SHOWS
1. AUTOMATIC ASSET TYPE DETECTION
The indicator automatically identifies what you're analyzing and adjusts accordingly:
Stocks - Compares to sector ETF (XLK, XLF, XLV, etc.) and SPY
Crypto - Compares to Total Crypto Market Cap and Bitcoin
Forex - Compares to relevant currency index (DXY, EXY, etc.)
Commodities - Compares to Gold (GLD) as benchmark
Indices - Compares to broader market indices
How it works: The indicator reads your chart's asset type and ticker, then automatically maps it to the correct sector or benchmark. For stocks, it uses intelligent sector detection (looking at the sector field) to match you with the right sector ETF. For example:
- Technology stocks get compared to XLK (Technology Select Sector SPDR)
- Financial stocks get compared to XLF (Financial Select Sector SPDR)
- Healthcare stocks get compared to XLV (Health Care Select Sector SPDR)
This happens instantly when you add the indicator to any chart - no configuration needed.
2. SECTOR & MARKET BENCHMARKS
What is a Sector ETF?
A sector ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks a specific industry group. For example, XLK contains all major technology companies. By comparing your stock to its sector ETF, you can see if your stock is outperforming or underperforming its peers.
The indicator shows three key comparison points:
Stock vs Sector (Benchmark)
This tells you how your stock performs compared to companies in the same industry. Positive numbers mean your stock is beating the sector average. Negative numbers mean it's lagging behind.
Stock vs Market (SPY)
This shows performance against the broader S&P 500 index. This is important because even if a stock beats its sector, the entire sector might be weak. You want stocks that beat both their sector AND the market.
Sector vs Market
This reveals "sector rotation" - whether money is flowing into or out of this sector. When this number is positive, the whole sector is hot and leading the market. This is powerful because strong sectors tend to lift all boats, making it easier to find winners.
3. MULTI-PERIOD PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The indicator calculates performance across four timeframes simultaneously:
1 Month (1M) - Recent short-term momentum
3 Months (3M) - Medium-term trend strength
6 Months (6M) - Longer-term positioning
1 Year (1Y) - Full-cycle performance view
Why multiple periods matter:
A stock might look great over 1 month but terrible over 6 months - that's a red flag. The best stocks show consistent strength across all timeframes . When you see positive RS (Relative Strength) values across all four periods, you've found a stock with sustained outperformance.
Each row in the table shows:
- Raw performance percentage for that period
- RS value (the difference compared to benchmark)
- Color coding: Green for positive, red for negative, white for neutral
4. SECTOR LEADER COMPARISON
The indicator automatically identifies and compares your stock to the sector leader - the dominant stock in that industry.
Sector leaders by industry:
Technology: Apple (AAPL)
Healthcare: UnitedHealth (UNH)
Financial: JPMorgan Chase (JPM)
Energy: ExxonMobil (XOM)
Consumer Discretionary: Amazon (AMZN)
Consumer Staples: Walmart (WMT)
And more...
Why this matters:
Comparing to the leader shows you if you're trading a champion or a follower. If your stock consistently beats the sector leader, you've found something special. If it's lagging the leader, you might want to trade the leader instead.
Optional Custom Leader:
You can override the automatic leader and compare to any stock you choose. This is useful if you want to benchmark against a specific competitor or reference stock.
NEW! INDUSTRY ANALYSIS (STOCKS ONLY)
The indicator now provides multi-level analysis by automatically detecting and comparing your stock to its specific industry , not just the broad sector.
Why Industry matters:
Technology sector (XLK) contains many different industries: Software, Semiconductors, Hardware, etc. A software stock might beat the broad tech sector but lag behind other software companies. Industry analysis provides this granular view.
Industry ETF Mapping (30+ industries):
Software/Applications: IGV (iShares Software ETF)
Semiconductors: SMH (VanEck Semiconductor ETF)
Biotech: IBB (iShares Biotechnology ETF)
Pharmaceuticals: XPH (SPDR Pharmaceuticals ETF)
Banks: KBE (SPDR S&P Bank ETF)
Regional Banks: KRE (SPDR Regional Banking ETF)
Oil & Gas Exploration: XOP (SPDR Oil & Gas Exploration ETF)
Homebuilders: XHB (SPDR Homebuilders ETF)
Retail: XRT (SPDR S&P Retail ETF)

And many more...
Industry Leader Mapping:
The indicator also identifies the leader within each industry:
Software: Microsoft (MSFT)
Semiconductors: NVIDIA (NVDA)
Biotech: Amgen (AMGN)
Pharmaceuticals: Eli Lilly (LLY)
Banks: JPMorgan (JPM)
Oil Exploration: ConocoPhillips (COP)
And more...
New Table Rows for Stocks:
Industry ETF Performance - How the specific industry performed (green background)
Industry Leader Performance - How the top stock in the industry performed
vs Industry RS - Your stock's outperformance vs its industry ETF
Industry vs Sector RS - Is this industry hot or cold within its sector?
vs Industry Leader RS - Your stock's performance vs the industry's best
Why this is powerful:
A stock that beats both its sector AND its industry is showing strength at every level. This indicates true relative strength, not just riding sector-wide momentum.
Optional Custom Industry:
You can override automatic detection for both Industry ETF and Industry Leader in settings.
5. RS SCORE & GRADING SYSTEM (0-100)
The heart of the indicator is the RS Score - a weighted calculation that distills all the performance data into one clear number from 0 to 100.
How the score is calculated:
FOR STOCKS (with Industry data):
The indicator splits the weight between Sector (60%) and Industry (40%):
SECTOR RS (60% of total weight):
1 Month RS: 24% weight (40% × 0.6)
3 Month RS: 18% weight (30% × 0.6)
6 Month RS: 12% weight (20% × 0.6)
1 Year RS: 6% weight (10% × 0.6)
INDUSTRY RS (40% of total weight):
1 Month RS: 16% weight (40% × 0.4)
3 Month RS: 12% weight (30% × 0.4)
6 Month RS: 8% weight (20% × 0.4)
1 Year RS: 4% weight (10% × 0.4)
FOR OTHER ASSETS (Crypto, Forex, Commodities):
Uses full 100% weight on benchmark:
1 Month RS: 40% weight
3 Month RS: 30% weight
6 Month RS: 20% weight
1 Year RS: 10% weight
It starts at 50 (neutral) and adds or subtracts points based on your asset's relative strength in each period.
Bonus points:
+5 points if the sector is outperforming the market (sector rotation is bullish)
+5 points if the industry is outperforming its sector (hot industry) - STOCKS ONLY
+5 points if RS momentum is improving (getting stronger over time)
-5 points if RS momentum is declining (getting weaker)
The final score is capped between 0-100.
Letter Grade System:
90-100: A+ - Elite performer, crushing the sector
85-89: A - Excellent, strong outperformer
80-84: A- - Very good, above average
75-79: B+ - Good, solid performer
70-74: B - Above average, decent strength
65-69: B- - Slightly above average
60-64: C+ - Average, neutral strength
55-59: C - Below average
50-54: C- - Weak, slight underperformance
45-49: D+ - Concerning weakness
40-44: D - Poor, significant underperformance
0-39: F - Failing, avoid this stock
What scores mean for trading:
- RS Score above 70: Strong stocks worth considering for long positions
- RS Score 50-70: Average stocks, better opportunities elsewhere
- RS Score below 50: Weak stocks, avoid or consider for shorts
6. CONSISTENCY SCORE
This metric shows what percentage of time periods show positive RS .
For STOCKS (with Industry data):
Counts both Sector RS periods AND Industry RS periods (up to 8 total periods):
- If a stock beats both sector and industry in all 4 periods each: Consistency = 100% (8/8)
- If it beats in 6 out of 8 total periods: Consistency = 75%
- If it beats in 4 out of 8 total periods: Consistency = 50%
For OTHER ASSETS:
Counts benchmark periods only (4 total):
- If it beats benchmark in all 4 periods (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y): Consistency = 100%
- If it beats in 3 out of 4 periods: Consistency = 75%
- If it beats in 2 out of 4 periods: Consistency = 50%
Why consistency matters:
A high RS Score with low consistency might indicate a recent spike that could fade. The best stocks show both high RS Score AND high consistency - they're strong now AND have been strong historically at both the sector AND industry level.
Look for stocks with:
Consistency above 75%: Very reliable strength across all levels
Consistency 50-75%: Decent but check other metrics
Consistency below 50%: Weak or erratic, proceed with caution
7. BETA CALCULATION (Volatility Measure)
Beta measures how much more volatile your stock is compared to its sector.
Beta > 1.2 : High volatility - stock moves more aggressively than sector (marked as "High")
Beta 0.8-1.2 : Normal volatility - moves roughly in line with sector
Beta < 0.8 : Low volatility - stock is more stable than sector (marked as "Low")
Formula used:
Beta = Correlation(Stock, Sector) × (Standard Deviation of Stock / Standard Deviation of Sector)
This uses a 20-period calculation for reliability.
How to use Beta:
- High Beta stocks offer bigger gains but also bigger risks - good for aggressive traders
- Low Beta stocks are more defensive - good for conservative positions
- Match Beta to your risk tolerance and strategy
8. DAYS ABOVE/BELOW SECTOR
This tracks consecutive periods (bars) where your stock outperforms or underperforms its sector.
Days Above Sector:
Counts how many bars in a row your stock has beaten the sector.
10+ days: Strong sustained strength (shown in bright green)
5-9 days: Building momentum (shown in yellow)
1-4 days: Early strength (shown in white)
0 days: Not currently outperforming
Days Below Sector:
Counts how many bars in a row your stock has lagged the sector.
10+ days: Sustained weakness (shown in bright red)
5-9 days: Losing momentum (shown in orange)
1-4 days: Minor weakness (shown in white)
0 days: Not underperforming (this is good!)
Why this matters:
Long streaks show trend persistence. A stock with 15+ days above sector is riding strong momentum. A stock with 15+ days below sector is in a sustained downtrend relative to peers.
9. PRICE VS 52-WEEK HIGH
Shows where current price sits relative to its 52-week high (or equivalent for your timeframe).
95%+ (green) : Stock is near all-time highs - strong positioning
80-94% (yellow) : Stock is in a pullback but still relatively strong
Below 80% : Stock has pulled back significantly from highs
Why this matters:
The strongest stocks stay near their highs. When you see a stock with high RS Score AND price near 52W high, you've found a stock with institutional support and strong buying pressure.
10. RELATIVE VOLUME
Compares current volume to the 20-period average volume.
1.5x+ (green) : High volume - significant interest and participation
Around 1.0x : Average volume - normal trading activity
Below 1.0x : Low volume - less interest or inactive period
Why volume matters:
High relative volume confirms price moves. When a stock makes a strong move on 2x or 3x normal volume, it's more likely to sustain. Low volume moves are often just noise.
11. AVERAGE RS STRENGTH
This calculates the average absolute value of all RS readings across the four timeframes.
It shows the magnitude of divergence from the sector, regardless of direction. A high number means the stock moves very differently from its sector (could be much stronger or much weaker). A low number means it tracks closely with the sector.
High Average RS: Stock has strong character, moves independently
Low Average RS: Stock follows sector closely, lacks individual strength
12. SECTOR ROTATION SIGNAL
This indicator automatically detects when a sector is experiencing bullish rotation - meaning money is flowing into the sector and it's outperforming the broader market.
Condition for bullish rotation:
Sector must be beating SPY (market) in both 1-month AND 3-month periods.
Why this matters:
Stocks in hot sectors tend to perform better because they have tailwinds from sector-wide buying. When sector rotation is bullish and your stock has a high RS Score, you've found an ideal setup.
The indicator adds +5 bonus points to the RS Score when sector rotation is bullish.
13. MOMENTUM DETECTION
The indicator compares 1-month RS to 3-month RS to detect if momentum is improving or declining.
RS Momentum Improving: 1M RS is better than 3M RS - stock is getting stronger (adds +5 to score)
RS Momentum Declining: 1M RS is worse than 3M RS - stock is getting weaker (subtracts -5 from score)
Why momentum matters:
You want to catch stocks as momentum is building, not after it's already peaked. Improving momentum suggests the strength is accelerating, not fading.
14. OVERALL ASSESSMENT & RECOMMENDATION
The indicator provides two quick summary rows:
Overall Rating:
Based on grade and RS Score, you get an instant quality rating:
Strong Leader (A/A+) - Top tier stock, crushing it
Above Average (A-/B+) - Solid performer, better than most
Average (B/B-) - Middle of the pack
Below Average (C/C+) - Struggling, watch carefully
Underperformer (D/F) - Weak stock, underperforming badly
Trading Signal:
Combines multiple factors to give setup quality:
STRONG BUY SETUP - RS Score 70+, Consistency 75+, AND sector rotation bullish. This is the perfect storm - strong stock, consistent strength, hot sector.
BULLISH - RS Score 60+, Consistency 50+. Good quality stock worth considering.
NEUTRAL - RS Score 50+. Okay but not exciting, better opportunities exist.
WEAK - RS Score 40-49. Below average, risky.
AVOID - RS Score below 40. Stay away, too weak.
IMPORTANT: These are educational signals only, not financial advice. Always do your own analysis and risk management.

Fires when sector shows bullish rotation (outperforming market).
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
FOR SWING TRADERS:
1. Add indicator to your watchlist stocks
2. Look for RS Score 70+ with Consistency 75%+
3. Check if sector rotation is bullish (bonus!)
4. Verify price is near 52W high (95%+)
5. Wait for entry setup on your chart
6. Use stop loss below key support
Example Setup:
Stock shows:
- RS Score: 82 (Grade: A-)
- Consistency: 100% (strong across all periods)
- Sector Rotation: Bullish
- Price vs 52W High: 96%
- Days Above Sector: 12 days
- Relative Volume: 1.8x
This is a textbook strong stock in a hot sector near highs - ideal for swing long.
FOR POSITION TRADERS:
1. Focus on 6-month and 1-year RS values
2. Look for sustained outperformance (Consistency 75%+)
3. Prefer lower Beta stocks (less volatility)
4. Check Days Above Sector for trend persistence
5. Monitor RS Score monthly, exit if drops below 60
FOR ACTIVE TRADERS:
1. Use on intraday timeframes (1H or 4H)
2. Set RS Score filter to 60+ for quick screening
3. Enable Divergence Alerts
4. Watch for momentum improving signal
5. Higher Beta stocks offer more movement
FOR SHORT SELLERS:
1. Look for RS Score below 40 (Grade: D or F)
2. Check for declining momentum
3. Verify Days Below Sector is increasing (10+)
4. Sector rotation should be bearish
5. Price should be well off 52W high
WHAT MAKES A PERFECT SETUP:
The holy grail combination:
RS Score: 75+ (A- or better)
Consistency: 80%+ (strong across time - beats sector AND industry)
Sector Rotation: Bullish (hot sector)
Industry vs Sector: Positive (hot industry within sector)
Days Above Sector: 10+ (sustained strength)
Momentum: Improving (getting stronger)
Price vs 52W High: 90%+ (near highs)
Relative Volume: 1.5x+ (volume confirmation)
When you find this combination, you've located a stock with every advantage in its favor - strong at the stock level, industry level, AND sector level. That's multi-level confirmation of relative strength.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does RS Score of 75 actually mean?
A: It means your stock is strongly outperforming its sector across multiple timeframes. The score is weighted toward recent performance (1-month gets 40% weight), so 75 indicates sustained relative strength with emphasis on current momentum.
Q: My stock has high RS Score but is going down. Why?
A: RS Score measures relative performance (vs sector/market), not absolute price direction. A stock can fall 5% while its sector falls 10% - that's still positive relative strength. In bear markets or sector corrections, high RS stocks often fall less than peers.
Q: Should I only trade stocks with RS Score above 70?
A: For long positions, yes - focus on 70+ scores. These stocks have proven they can beat their sector. However, for pairs trading or relative value plays, you might also short stocks with scores below 40 while longing stocks above 70.
Q: What if my stock doesn't have a sector?
A: The indicator handles this gracefully. If no sector is detected, it will compare directly to the market (SPY for stocks). Some rows may show N/A, but the indicator will still provide useful market-relative data.
Q: Why does the sector sometimes show N/A?
A: This happens when: 1) Your asset has no sector classification, 2) The stock IS the sector ETF itself, 3) You're analyzing a non-stock asset (crypto, forex, commodity). The indicator adapts by focusing on market-relative metrics instead.
Q: Can I use this on cryptocurrencies?
A: Yes! The indicator automatically detects crypto and compares to the Total Crypto Market Cap (CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL). You can also set a custom leader like Bitcoin (BTCUSD) to compare against the dominant crypto.
Q: What's the difference between RS Score and Consistency?
A: RS Score is the weighted average of how much you're beating the sector (magnitude). Consistency is what percentage of time periods show outperformance (reliability). You want both high - that means strong AND consistent.
Q: Do the alerts repaint?
A: No. All alerts fire only on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) and use properly configured data with lookahead=off. Once an alert fires, it's final and won't change.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
A: For swing trading: Daily or Weekly. For day trading: 1H or 4H. For position trading: Weekly. Use "Chart Timeframe" mode and switch your chart timeframe to change the analysis period easily.
Q: Why is Days Above Sector showing 0?
A: This means your stock is not currently outperforming its sector. If Days Below Sector is also 0, it means the RS is exactly neutral (very rare). Check the actual RS values to see current standing.
Q: Can I compare to a different market benchmark than SPY?
A: Currently the indicator uses SPY (S&P 500) as the default US stock market benchmark. For crypto it uses CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL, for forex it uses currency indices, etc. The benchmark auto-adjusts based on asset type.
Q: What's a good Beta value?
A: It depends on your strategy. Aggressive traders prefer Beta above 1.2 (more volatility = bigger moves). Conservative traders prefer Beta 0.8-1.0 (more stable). Beta is neutral - it's about matching your risk tolerance.
Q: How often does the table update?
A: With Real-time Indicator enabled: Every tick (constant updates). With it disabled: Only on bar close. Either way, the underlying data is identical and non-repainting - the toggle only affects update frequency and the clock icon display.
Q: My stock is showing "AVOID" but it's up 50% this year. Is the indicator wrong?
A: Not necessarily. The indicator measures RELATIVE performance. If your stock is up 50% but the sector is up 100%, your stock is actually underperforming by 50%. The indicator helps you identify when you should switch to stronger stocks in the same sector.
Q: What does "Strong Buy Setup" really mean?
A: It means three things aligned: 1) RS Score above 70 (strong stock), 2) Consistency above 75% (reliable strength), 3) Sector rotation is bullish (hot sector). This combination historically correlates with stocks that continue outperforming. However, this is NOT financial advice - always do your own analysis.
Q: Can I use this for options trading?
A: Yes! High RS Score stocks make good candidates for call options (bullish bets) while low RS Score stocks may work for puts (bearish bets). Higher Beta stocks will have more volatile options (higher premiums but more movement).
Q: Why is my crypto showing N/A for sector?
A: Cryptocurrencies don't have "sectors" like stocks do. Instead, the indicator compares crypto to the total crypto market cap. This is normal and expected behavior.
Q: What happens if I'm analyzing an ETF?
A: If you're analyzing a sector ETF (like XLK), it will compare to SPY (market). If you're analyzing SPY itself, some comparisons won't be available (can't compare SPY to itself). The indicator intelligently adapts to avoid circular comparisons.
Q: What if my stock doesn't have industry data?
A: Not all stocks are mapped to specific industries (only 30+ major industries are covered). If no industry is detected, the indicator will still work using only sector analysis. The RS Score calculation will use 100% sector weight instead of the 60%/40% split.
Q: Why does Industry vs Sector matter?
A: Industry vs Sector shows if your specific industry is hot or cold within its broader sector. For example, Semiconductors (SMH) might be outperforming Technology sector (XLK) even though both are up. This helps you find not just strong sectors, but the strongest industries within those sectors.
Q: Can I disable Industry analysis?
A: Yes! In the "Industry Analysis" settings group, you can toggle off "Show Industry Analysis in Table" to hide all industry rows. However, even when hidden, industry data still contributes to the RS Score calculation for stocks.
Q: Why is my Consistency Score lower for stocks than other assets?
A: For stocks with industry data, Consistency counts 8 periods (4 Sector + 4 Industry periods) instead of just 4. This means the bar is higher - your stock needs to beat both sector AND industry consistently. A stock that beats sector in all 4 periods but lags industry in 2 periods will show 75% consistency (6/8), not 100%.
BEST PRACTICES
Use as a screening tool - Set RS Score filter to 70+ and quickly scan your watchlist. Only strong stocks will show the table.
Combine with technical analysis - RS Score tells you WHAT to trade, your chart tells you WHEN to enter.
Check multiple timeframes - Switch between Daily and Weekly to see if strength holds across different time horizons.
Monitor sector rotation - When sector goes from bearish to bullish rotation, it's often a great time to enter stocks in that sector.
Watch Industry vs Sector - Stocks in hot industries within hot sectors have double tailwinds. Prioritize Industry vs Sector positive values.
Pay attention to consistency - High RS Score with low consistency might be a spike that fades. Look for 70%+ consistency across BOTH sector and industry.
Use the leader comparison - If your stock consistently beats both sector leader AND industry leader, you may have found the next champion.
Watch days above/below sector - Long streaks (15+ days) indicate strong trends. Look for these in conjunction with high RS Score.
Set alerts on key stocks - Enable RS Score alerts at 70 threshold to get notified when watchlist stocks become strong.
Consider Beta for position sizing - Size smaller positions in high Beta stocks, larger in low Beta stocks for balanced risk.
Exit when RS Score drops - If a stock's RS Score falls below 60, consider reducing or exiting - the strength may be fading.
Leverage industry-level insight - If Industry ETF is weak but stock is strong, that's standout strength. If Industry is hot but stock is lagging, consider switching to the industry leader instead.

WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOESN'T DO
To set proper expectations:
Does NOT provide entry/exit signals - this is a strength analyzer, not a trading system
Does NOT predict future price movement - shows current and historical relative strength
Does NOT guarantee profits - strong RS stocks can still decline
Does NOT replace your own analysis - use as one tool among many
Does NOT work on stocks with no sector data - will adapt but some rows show N/A
This indicator is a decision support tool . It helps you identify which stocks are showing relative strength so you can make more informed trading decisions. You still need your own entry strategy, risk management, and position sizing rules.

FINAL REMINDER
This indicator is a tool for analyzing relative strength - it shows you which stocks are outperforming their sector and market. It does NOT provide financial advice or trade signals. Always conduct your own research, manage your risk appropriately, and consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
Past performance of relative strength does not guarantee future results. Strong stocks can become weak, and sectors rotate in and out of favor. Use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not as a standalone decision-making system.
Trade smart, manage risk, and may your RS Scores stay high!

Market Extreme Zones IndexThe Market Extreme Zones Index is a new mean reversion (valuation) tool focused on catching long term oversold/overbought zones. Combining an enhanced RSI with a smoothed Z-score this indicator allows traders to find oppurtunities during highly oversold/overbought zones.
I will separate the explanation into the following parts:
1. How does it work?
2. Methodologies & Concepts
3. Use cases
How does it work?
The indicator attempts to catch highly unprobable events in either direction to capture reversal points over the long term. This is done by calculating the Z-Score of an enhanced RSI.
First we need to calculate the Enhanced RSI:
For this we need to calculate 2 additional lengths:
Length1 = user defined length
Length2 = Length1/2
Length3 = √Length
Now we need to calculate 3 different RSIs:
1st RSI => uses classic user defined source and classic user defined length.
2nd RSI => uses classic user defined source and Length 2.
3rd RSI => uses RSI 2 as source and Length 2
Now calculate the divergence:
RSI_base => 2nd RSI * 3 - 1st RSI - 3rd RSI
After this we need to calculate the median of the RSI_base over √Length and make a divergence of these 2:
RSI => RSI_base*2 - median
All that remains now is the Z-score calculations:
We need:
Average RSI value
Standard Deviation = a measure of how dispersed or spread out a set of data values are from their average
Z-score = (Current Value - Average Value) / Standard Deviation
After this we just smooth the Z-score with a Weighted Moving average with √Length
Methodology & Concepts
Mean Reversion Methodology:
The methodology behind mean reversion is the theory that asset prices will eventually return to their long-term average after deviating significantly, driven by the belief that extreme moves are temporary.
Z-Score Methodology:
A Z-score, or standard score, is a statistical measure that indicates how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean of a dataset. A positive z-score means the value is above the mean, a negative score means it's below, and a score of zero means the value is equal to the mean.
You might already be able to see where I am going with this:
Z-Score could be used for the extreme moves to capture reversal points.
By applying it to the RSI rather than the Price, we get a more accurate measurement that allow us to get a banger indicator.
Use Cases
Capturing reversal points
Trend Direction
- while the main use it for mean reversion, the values can indicate whether we are in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Advantages:
Visualization:
The indicator has many plots to ensure users can easily see what the indicator signals, such as highlighting extreme conditions with background colors.
Versatility:
This indicator works across multiple assets, including the S&P500 and more, so it is not only for crypto.
Final note:
No indicator alone is perfect.
Backtests are not indicative of future performance.
Hope you enjoy Gs!
Good luck!
Trapper Absolute PriceActionThe Trapper Absolute PriceAction (TAPA) indicator is a custom, momentum-based oscillator designed to help traders visually read shifts in bullish and bearish price strength — with no reliance on volume or external data.
TAPA calculates and smooths both bullish and bearish momentum using multiple methods (RSI, Stochastic, or ADX) and compares their relative strength in real time. The result is a clean dual-line oscillator with color-coded histograms that highlight which side of the market currently has control.
It was built to give traders a sniper-level precision tool for detecting early momentum shifts before they appear clearly on price charts, allowing confirmation or invalidation of setups faster than with lagging indicators.
How It Works
Momentum Strength Calculation
The script measures directional price movement across the chosen mode (RSI, Stochastic, or ADX).
These values are smoothed twice using a selectable moving average type (WMA, EMA, SMA, ALMA, HMA, etc.).
Bullish & Bearish Curves
The green line represents smoothed bullish momentum (SmthBulls).
The orange/red line represents smoothed bearish momentum (SmthBears).
Histogram Strength Visualization
The distance between the two curves forms a color-coded histogram.
Green/Lime bars indicate growing bullish control, while Orange/Red bars show bearish dominance.
A gray neutral zone reflects indecision or range-bound conditions.
Signal Triggers
BUY 🐂 appears when the green line crosses up through the orange — signaling a bullish momentum flip.
SELL 🐻 appears when the green line crosses down through the orange — signaling bearish control.
Alerts can be enabled directly in TradingView through the BUY (🐂) or SELL (🐻) alert conditions for automated notifications or integrations.
How to Use
1. Confirm Early Momentum Shifts
When a crossover appears, check that the histogram color supports the move (green shades for bullish, red/orange for bearish).
Avoid signals when both lines are tangled and the histogram alternates gray, that usually indicates consolidation or low volatility.
2. Validate with Higher-Timeframe Structure
TAPA is most powerful when aligned with trend structure from higher timeframes.
Example: A bullish crossover on the 1-hour timeframe, while the daily TAPA shows the green line already rising, can confirm momentum alignment before entry.
3. Combine with Support/Resistance
Mark your key support and resistance zones (manual or using your “Trapper S&R PRO” indicator).
Look for a TAPA bullish crossover occurring at a major support zone, that’s often the start of a reversal move.
4. Multi-Mode Analysis
Experiment with “Indicator Method” in the inputs:
RSI Mode - smoother and responsive for swing trading.
Stochastic Mode - better for short-term entries and exits.
ADX Mode - captures trending momentum on strong breakouts.
Examples
Bullish Example:
Price forms a higher low on the chart while TAPA’s green line crosses up through orange with a lime/green histogram. That’s a strong early signal that momentum is reversing before price confirms on structure.
Bearish Example:
Price rallies into resistance, then TAPA shows a red histogram and a bearish cross (green dropping under orange). That’s typically a high-probability short signal once structure breaks.
What Makes TAPA Different
No Volume Dependency: Focuses purely on price behavior, not volume spikes or anomalies.
Multi-Mode Engine: Switch between RSI, Stochastic, or ADX-style momentum math instantly.
Customizable Visuals: Editable histogram color layers (weak/strong bull/bear, neutral) and line color control.
Sniper Labeling System: Clean, minimal BUY/SELL cues at each verified crossover.
Alert-Ready: Built-in conditions allow for TradingView alerts, webhooks, or bot automation.
Modernized Core: Rebuilt in Pine v6 with optimized performance and compliance to TradingView standards.
TAPA is designed to filter out the noise and show what truly drives a move — the shift in control between buyers and sellers.
Best Pairing Indicators
To get maximum clarity and confluence:
Trapper Support & Resistance PRO
Helps identify key zones where momentum flips from TAPA have the most impact. A bullish crossover at a defined support level often marks an early trend reversal.
Trapper Volume Trigger
While TAPA doesn’t use volume internally, pairing it with a volume-based trigger confirms that momentum shifts have institutional participation.
Simple Moving Averages (5, 20, or 50)
Overlay short and mid-term SMAs on your chart to confirm directional bias. A bullish TAPA cross that aligns with SMA-5 crossing above SMA-20 increases reliability.

ADX Trend Strength Filter + TRAMA [DotGain]Summary
Are you tired of trading trend signals, only to get stopped out in volatile, sideways chop?
The ADX Trend Strength Filter (ADX TSF) is designed to solve this exact problem. It is a comprehensive trend-following system that only generates signals when a trend not only has the right direction and momentum, but also sufficient strength.
This indicator filters out weak or indecisive market phases (the "chop") and will only color the bars Green or Red when all conditions for a strong, confirmed trend are met.
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
The ADX TSF relies on a triple-filter logic to generate a clear trade signal:
Trend Filter (TRAMA): A TRAMA (Trending Adaptive Moving Average) is used as the main trendline. This adaptive average automatically adjusts to market volatility, acting as a dynamic support/resistance level.
Price > TRAMA = Bullish
Price < TRAMA = Bearish
Momentum Filter (RSI Crossover): Momentum is measured by a crossover of two moving averages of the RSI (a fast EMA and a slow SMA). This confirms whether the momentum is pointing in the same direction as the trend.
Strength Filter (ADX): This is the most important filter. A signal is only considered valid if the ADX (Average Directional Index) is above a defined threshold (Default: 30). This ensures the trend has sufficient strength.
🚦 How to Read the Indicator
The indicator has three states, displayed directly as bar colors on your chart:
🟩 GREEN BARS (Strong Uptrend) All three conditions are met:
Price is above the TRAMA.
RSI momentum is bullish (Fast MA > Slow MA).
ADX is above 30 (Strong trend is present).
🟥 RED BARS (Strong Downtrend) All three conditions are met:
Price is below the TRAMA.
RSI momentum is bearish (Fast MA < Slow MA).
ADX is above 30 (Strong trend is present).
🟧 ORANGE BARS (Neutral / Caution) This state appears if any of the following conditions are true:
Weak Trend: The ADX is below 30. The market is in consolidation or a sideways phase. (This is the primary filter!)
Indecision: The price is caught in the "Neutral Zone" between the TRAMA and the 200 SMA.
Visual Elements
Bar Colors: (Green/Red/Orange) Show the current trend status.
TRAMA (Orange Line): Your primary adaptive trendline.
200 SMA (White Line): Serves as a reference for the long-term trend.
Orange Background (Fill): Fills the area between the TRAMA and SMA to visually highlight the "Neutral Zone."
Key Benefit
The goal of the ADX TSF is to keep traders out of weak, unpredictable markets and help them participate only in strong, momentum-confirmed trends.
Have fun :)

Volatility Adjusted Relative Strength (VARS) - Histogram OptionI’ve developed a new version of VARS that includes an option to toggle it into a histogram view. I recommend using a single neutral color rather than the conventional “red below 0, green above 0” scheme — because true RS analysis shouldn’t rely on color cues. The focus should be on the immediacy and persistence of RS itself to capture that initial breakout move as the most optimal RRR entry. This also provides clearer insight and visualization into how RS functions (both traditional and VARS) since RS is a static EOD metric derived from a defined timeframe.
I want to emphasize again that VARS is useful to identify low-risk entries, with relative strength calibrated to the volatility of the reference index (in this case, AMEX:SPY ). It is not used to determine my exits — those should be governed by a strict, non-discretionary framework for partial profit-taking and final exit of a position.
Strong Body Close Candle (90%)This indicator highlights Strong Body Close Candles, which are single bars where the real body makes up the vast majority of the total range and the close is positioned very close to the candle’s extreme. By default, the script looks for candles where the body is at least 90% of the full high-low range, and the close falls within the top 10% (for bullish) or bottom 10% (for bearish). These settings ensure that only very strong, conviction-driven candles are marked. The script plots labels above or below qualifying bars, colors the candle accordingly, and provides alert conditions so you can be notified in real time when such a candle forms.
Both percentages are fully adjustable so you can fine-tune the strictness of the definition. For example, if you change the body threshold to 85% and the close-to-extreme threshold to 15%, the script will highlight candles where the body makes up at least 85% of the total range and the close is within 15% of the high or low. This adjustment allows for a slightly looser definition, catching more frequent signals while still maintaining strength criteria. Built-in alerts let you choose between bullish and bearish signals separately (or both), ensuring you won’t miss setups even when you’re away from the chart.
This tool is flexible across timeframes and instruments. On lower timeframes, signals may appear more frequently, highlighting intraday momentum bursts, while on higher timeframes such as daily or weekly charts, these signals often represent periods of strong directional conviction. Traders can combine this indicator with additional filters such as trend direction, volume confirmation, VWAP, or moving averages to improve reliability and fit it into their broader strategy. Because the body and close thresholds are user-defined, you have control over whether the indicator is tuned to rare but powerful candles (stricter settings) or more frequent signals (looser settings).
The indicator is designed to be non-repainting since it only evaluates candles after they close. It can be used purely visually with chart labels and bar coloring or as part of an automated workflow with TradingView alerts. Alerts are triggered on bar close whenever a bullish or bearish strong body close candle is detected, allowing you to integrate them into your trading process via pop-ups, emails, mobile notifications, or webhooks. Whether you’re looking for sharp reversals, momentum continuation signals, or simply want to filter out weaker candles, this tool provides a clear and adjustable framework for identifying high-conviction bars.
Algorithmic Value Oscillator [CRYPTIK1]Algorithmic Value Oscillator
Introduction: What is the AVO? Welcome to the Algorithmic Value Oscillator (AVO), a powerful, modern momentum indicator that reframes the classic "overbought" and "oversold" concept. Instead of relying on a fixed lookback period like a standard RSI, the AVO measures the current price relative to a significant, higher-timeframe Value Zone .
This gives you a more contextual and structural understanding of price. The core question it answers is not just "Is the price moving up or down quickly?" but rather, " Where is the current price in relation to its recently established area of value? "
This allows traders to identify true "premium" (overbought) and "discount" (oversold) levels with greater accuracy, all presented with a clean, futuristic aesthetic designed for the modern trader.
The Core Concept: Price vs. Value The market is constantly trying to find equilibrium. The AVO is built on the principle that the high and low of a significant prior period (like the previous day or week) create a powerful area of perceived value.
The Value Zone: The range between the high and low of the selected higher timeframe.
Premium Territory (Distribution Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing pink/purple zone above +100, it is trading at a premium.
Discount Territory (Accumulation Zone): When the oscillator moves into the glowing teal/blue zone below -100, it is trading at a discount.
Key Features
1. Glowing Gradient Oscillator: The main oscillator line is a dynamic visual guide to momentum.
The line changes color smoothly from light blue to neon teal as bullish momentum increases.
It shifts from hot pink to bright purple as bearish momentum increases.
Multiple transparent layers create a professional "glow" effect, making the trend easy to see at a glance.
2. Dynamic Volatility Histogram: This histogram at the bottom of the indicator is a custom volatility meter. It has been engineered to be adaptive, ensuring that the visual differences between high and low volatility are always clear and dramatic, no matter your zoom level. It uses a multi-color gradient to visualize the intensity of market volatility.
3. Volatility Regime Dashboard: This simple on-screen table analyzes the histogram and provides a clear, one-word summary of the current market state: Compressing, Stable, or Expanding.
How to Use the AVO: Trading Strategies
1. Reversion Trading This is the most direct way to use the indicator.
Look for Buys: When the AVO line drops into the teal "Accumulation Zone" (below -100), the price is trading at a discount. Watch for the oscillator to form a bottom and start turning up as a signal that buying pressure is returning.
Look for Sells: When the AVO line moves into the pink "Distribution Zone" (above +100), the price is trading at a premium. Watch for the oscillator to form a peak and start turning down as a signal that selling pressure is increasing.
2. Best Practices & Settings
Timeframe Synergy: The AVO is most effective when your chart timeframe is lower than your selected "Value Zone Source." For example, if you trade on the 1-hour chart, set your Value Zone to "Previous Day."
Confirmation is Key: This indicator provides powerful context, but it should not be used in isolation. Always combine its readings with your primary analysis, such as market structure and support/resistance levels.

Currency Strength v3.0Currency Strength v3.0
Summary
The Currency Strength indicator is a powerful tool designed to gauge the relative strength of major and emerging market currencies. By plotting the True Strength Index (TSI) of various currency indices, it provides a clear visual representation of which currencies are gaining momentum and which are losing it. This indicator automatically detects the currency pair on your chart and highlights the corresponding strength lines, simplifying analysis and helping you quickly identify potential trading opportunities based on currency dynamics.
Key Features
Comprehensive Currency Analysis: Tracks the strength of 19 currencies, including major pairs and several emerging market currencies.
Automatic Pair Detection: Intelligently identifies the base and quote currency of the active chart, automatically highlighting the relevant strength lines.
Dynamic Coloring: The base currency is consistently colored blue, and the quote currency is colored gold, making it easy to distinguish between the two at a glance.
Non-Repainting TSI Calculation: Uses the True Strength Index (TSI) for smooth and reliable momentum readings that do not repaint.
Customizable Settings: Allows for adjustment of the fast and slow periods for the TSI calculation to fit your specific trading style.
Clean Interface: Features a minimalist legend table that only displays the currencies relevant to your current chart, keeping your workspace uncluttered.
How It Works
The indicator pulls data from major currency indices (like DXY for the US Dollar and EXY for the Euro). For currencies that don't have a dedicated index, it uses their USD pair (e.g., USDCNY) and inverts the calculation to derive the currency's strength relative to the dollar. It then applies the True Strength Index (TSI) to this data. The TSI is a momentum oscillator that is less volatile than other oscillators, providing a more reliable measure of strength. The resulting values are plotted on the chart, allowing you to see how different currencies are performing against each other in real-time.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: When the base currency's line is rising and above the zero line, and the quote currency's line is falling, it can confirm a bullish trend for the pair. The opposite would suggest a bearish trend.
Identifying Divergences: Look for divergences between the currency strength lines and the price action of the pair. For example, if the price is making higher highs but the base currency's strength is making lower highs, it could signal a potential reversal.
Crossovers: A crossover of the base and quote currency lines can signal a shift in momentum. A bullish signal occurs when the base currency line crosses above the quote currency line. A bearish signal occurs when it crosses below.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: The horizontal dashed lines at 0.5 and -0.5 can be used as general guides for overbought and oversold conditions, respectively. Strength moving beyond these levels may indicate an unsustainable move that is due for a correction.
Settings
Fast Period: The short-term period for the TSI calculation. Default is 7.
Slow Period: The long-term period for the TSI calculation. Default is 15.
Index Source: The price source used for the calculations (e.g., Close, Open). Default is Close.
Base Currency Color: The color for the base currency line. Default is Royal Blue.
Quote Currency Color: The color for the quote currency line. Default is Goldenrod.

Understanding Trend Strength
The indicator's foundation is the Trend Strength Score - a quantified measurement (0-100%) that combines four key factors:
Strong Trends (75%+ Strength) 🟢 Characteristics : High alignment, close price-to-trend proximity, strong momentum Signals : ADD LONG (bullish) or ADD SHORT (bearish) Strategy : Aggressive position building, trend continuation trades Risk : Lower risk due to strong trend confirmation
Medium Trends (35-75% Strength) 🟡 Characteristics : Mixed signals, moderate alignment, transitional phases Signals : HOLD current positions Strategy : Conservative approach, wait for clearer signals Risk : Medium risk, requires careful monitoring
Weak Trends (Below 35% Strength) 🔴 Characteristics : Poor alignment, distant from trend lines, weak momentum Signals : REDUCE positions or CLOSE Strategy : Risk reduction, position unwinding Risk : High risk, trend likely changing or failing
Entry Strategies
Primary Strategy: Trend Continuation Entries Setup : Strong trend strength (75%+) with clear directional bias Entry Trigger : ADD LONG or ADD SHORT signal confirmation Direction : Follow the trend direction (Bullish ⬆ or Bearish ⬇) Timing : Enter on signal generation or price pullback to trend lines
Stop Loss Placement Conservative Method : Beyond the opposite trend line Aggressive Method : Below/above recent swing points For Long Positions : Below the Slow Trend Line For Short Positions : Above the Slow Trend Line Dynamic Adjustment : Move stops with trend line progression
Profit Taking Strategy
For Long Positions (Bullish Trend): Take 50% profits when trend strength begins declining from peak Take another 25% when trend strength drops below 60% Close remaining position when REDUCE signal appears Trail stops using Fast Trend Line for remaining position
For Short Positions (Bearish Trend): Take 50% profits when trend strength begins declining from peak Take another 25% when trend strength drops below 60% Close remaining position when REDUCE signal appears Trail stops using Fast Trend Line for remaining position
Alternative Strategy: Divergence-Based Reversal Entries Setup : Bullish or bearish divergence detected with weakening trend strength Entry : On trend direction change confirmation Risk Management : Tight stops due to counter-trend nature Targets : Opposite trend line or previous swing levels
Risk Management Framework
Position Sizing Based on Trend Strength Strong Trends (75%+) : Full position size (within risk tolerance) Medium Trends (35-75%) : Reduced position size (50-75% of normal) Weak Trends (Below 35%) : Minimal or no new positions Transitional Periods : Smallest position sizes due to uncertainty
Dynamic Risk Adjustment Increasing Strength : Can add to positions gradually Decreasing Strength : Begin profit-taking and position reduction Rapid Strength Loss : Quick position reduction or exit Divergence Warning : Tighten stops and prepare for reversal

Price action + MA + MTF RSI + S/R Zones by GunjanPanditDescription:
This script combines multiple powerful trading tools into a unified indicator designed for trend-following and confirmation-based entries. It is built to assist traders in identifying actionable signals based on price structure, volatility, and momentum across multiple timeframes.
🔧 How It Works
✅ UT Bot Core Logic
The script uses a variation of the UT Bot (Ultimate Trend Bot) method to generate buy/sell signals.
Signals are based on ATR-filtered trailing stop levels to reduce noise and detect real trend changes.
A Buy is triggered when the price closes above the UT trailing stop.
A Sell is triggered when the price closes below it.
✅ Multi-Timeframe RSI Confirmation
RSI is calculated on a user-defined higher timeframe (default: 1 hour).
A buy signal is confirmed only if RSI is below the oversold level, and vice versa for sell signals.
This confirmation layer adds an extra filter to improve signal reliability and reduce whipsaws.
✅ Support & Resistance Zones (MTF)
The script automatically plots dynamic support and resistance zones using highs/lows from the selected higher timeframe.
These zones are visualized as shaded bands, helping users recognize key levels where price may reverse or consolidate.
✅ Visual Aids & Alerts
Buy and Sell signals are clearly labeled on the chart.
Optional RSI plot in a separate pane for visual monitoring.
Real-time alert conditions included for both Buy and Sell entries.
📈 Use Case & Recommendations
This script is best suited for:
Swing trading or intraday strategies in trending markets.

And clean, customizable overlays for actionable trading insights.
Apex Edge - RSI Trend LinesThe Apex Edge - RSI Trend Lines indicator is a precision tool that automatically draws real-time trendlines on the RSI oscillator using confirmed pivot highs and lows. These dynamic trendlines track RSI structure in motion, helping you anticipate breakout zones, reversals, and hidden divergences.
Every time a new pivot forms, the indicator automatically re-draws the RSI trendline between the two most recent pivots — giving you an always-current view of momentum structure. You’ll instantly see when RSI begins compressing or expanding, long before price reacts.
Key Features: • Dynamic RSI trendlines drawn from the last 2 pivots
• Auto re-draws in real-time as new pivots form
• Optional "Full Extend" or "Pivot Only" modes
• Slope color-coded: green = support, red = resistance
• Built-in dotted RSI levels (30/70 default)
• Alert conditions for RSI trendline breakout signals
• Ideal for spotting divergence, compression, and early SMC confluence
This is not your average RSI — it’s a fully reactive momentum edge overlay designed to give you clarity, structure, and timing from within the oscillator itself. Perfect for traders using Smart Money Concepts, divergence setups, or algorithmic trend tracking.

Internal Candle Strength [LuxAlgo]The Internal Candle Strength tool allows traders to divide each chart bar into multiple rows of custom size and inspect the strength of the lower timeframes trends located within each row.
This tool effectively helps traders in identifying the power dynamic between bulls and bears within multiple areas within each bar, providing the ability to conduct LTF analysis.
🔶 USAGE
The strength displayed within each row ranges from 0% to 100%, with 0% being the most bearish and 100% being the most bullish.
Traders should be aware of the extreme probabilities located at the higher/lower end of the bars, as this can signal a change in strength and price direction.
Traders can select the lower timeframe to pull the data from or the row size in the scale of the chart. Selecting a lower timeframe will provide more data to evaluate an area's strength.
Do note that only a timeframe lower than the chart timeframe should be selected.
🔹 Row Size
Selecting a smaller row size will increase the number of rows per bar, allowing for a more detailed analysis. A lower value will also generally mean that less data will be considered when calculating the strength of a specific area.
As we can see on the chart above (all BTCUSD 30m), by selecting a different row size, traders can control how many rows are displayed per bar.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Lower timeframe used to calculate the candle strength.
Row Size: Size of each row on the chart scale, expressed as a fraction of the candle range.
