High-Low Index [LazyBear]-- Fixed --- Source: pastebin.com Fixes an issue with "Combined" mode, using wrong symbols. --- Original --- The High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent, which is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows. Readings below 50 indicate that there were more new lows than new highs. Readings above 50 indicate that there were more new highs than new lows. 0 indicates there were zero new highs (0% new highs). 100 indicates there was at least 1 new high and no new lows (100% new highs). 50 indicates that new highs and new lows were equal (50% new highs). Readings consistently above 70 usually coincide with a strong uptrend. Readings consistently below 30 usually coincide with a strong downtrend.

Zweig Market Breadth Thrust Indicator [LazyBear]The Breadth Thrust (BT) indicator is a market momentum indicator developed by Dr. Martin Zweig. According to Dr. Zweig a Breadth Thrust occurs when, during a 10-day period, the Breadth Thrust indicator rises from below 40 percent to above 61.5 percent. A "Thrust" indicates that the stock market has rapidly changed from an oversold condition to one of strength, but has not yet become overbought. This is very rare and has happened only a few times. Dr. Zweig also points out that most bull markets begin with a Breadth Thrust. All parameters are configurable. You can draw BT for NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX or based on combined data (i.e., AMEX+NYSE+NASD). There is also a "CUSTOM" mode supported, so you can enter your own ADV/DEC symbols.

Impulse MACD [LazyBear]Impulse MACD is a modified MACD, formed by filtering out the values in a MA range (region between MAs of high and low), thereby reducing whipsaw typical in a sideways market. This is usually plotted as histogram. This also plots the traditional histogram (MACD - Signal), to help in finding entries/exits. Use this like a traditional MACD (Zero line crossing or Signal crossing). Colors legend: Impulse MACD: Possible colors => Lime / Green / Orange / Red, based on the ImpulseMACD position with respect to MidLine and Signal. Impulse MACD Signal: Maroon line.

Range Identifier [LazyBear] ---- May 05 2015 ----- Added support for filtered ranges: RID V3 : pastebin.com RIDv3 has full backward compatibility (!?), meaning all my descriptions below still apply for V3. -- In addition, I have added a NON-OVERLAY mode, which can be put in its own pane, that shows the number of bars in the current range. -- in Overlay mode, you can switch on/off filtering ranges based on the bar count. Sample chart: ---- April 30 2015 ----- Updated the source to show a connected Midline only when ConnectRanges option is enabled. Updated src: pastebin.com Sample chart: ---- Original Desc ---- This is a simple indicator that highlights the price ranges. Very helpful in determining a breakout. There are many ways to incorporate this in to your strategy. One simple idea could be to buy if the price breaks above a range, when above the specified EMA, and to SELL when it breaks down from a range below the EMA. All options are configurable. Alerts can be setup using the specified plot names. By default it shows only the ranges, but can be configured to show the full "channel". Chart below shows connected ranges with highlights ON. Range highlighting can be turned OFF. Chart below shows that: Note for the pine coders: As you probably noticed in the charts above, single range is showing 2 colors(red/green). Fill() doesn't accept a series for colors, so I worked around this using two fill() statements with a moving DUMMY line, to get this mixed color effect.

Pip collector [LazyBear]A simple but effective Forex strategy requested by user @pipcollector. Suggested chart timeframe is 5mins. Indicator marks potential long/short entries based on the following conditions: LONG ------ Price above pip median ema on daily, 4 hour and 1 hour timeframe. These 3 timeframes and median EMA lengths are configurable. Background color is set to GREEN (if option is enabled). As soon as price touches or crosses the median ema, a GREEN arrow is shown to mark potential long. SHORT ------ Price below pip median ema on daily, 4 hour and 1 hour timeframe. These 3 timeframes and median EMA lengths are configurable. Background color is set to RED (if option is enabled). As soon as price touches or crosses the median ema, a RED arrow is shown to mark potential short. NO SETUP ----------- Moving averages do not align on the 3 timeframes. Background color is set to GRAY (if option is enabled) I have noticed that this works well on other instruments too (anything trending), also on higher time frames.

Belkhayate Timing [LazyBear]--- Update April 11, 2015 ---- I have merged in @TheMighyChicken's code (Thanks!) and added some more options. Updated source here - pastebin.com Changes: -------------- - Switch between plain candles and colored oscillator candles. - Switch between candles and plain oscillator view. --- Original Description --- Belkhayate Timing, by Mostafa Belkhayate, is very famous in the Forex groups. This is a port from one of the MT4 versions available. If you have used this in other platforms, do let me know if this looks compared to those. The usage is similar to that of ValueChart (). The middle area is the centroid or neutral area, the shaded regions (red/green) are extreme and beyond those are AlertZones. This seems to be used in conjunction with his other indicators, but, in my limited testing, I have seen this give a lot of good signals, especially on divergences. Indicator allows coloring bars based on the oscillator position or show oscillator histogram (Check the options page). Histogram=ON: No Oscillator Smoothing: @TheMightyChicken Can you do your candle magic on this oscillator too, just like you did for ValueChart? :) More Info: www.forexfactory.com List of my public indicators: bit.ly List of my app-store indicators: blog.pulsewire.com

Volume Accumulation Percentage Indicator [LazyBear]Volume Accumulation Percentage Indicator (VAPI) is a variation of the classic volume-accumulation indicators. It uses volume the same way as OBV except that it assigns volume weights based on intraday volatility. In a positive trend, if the stock price is close to a (local) new high, the VAPI should be at its maximum as well (and vice versa for a negative trend). If the market is looking for a direction, if the price is in the bottom side of his current trading range and if, at the same moment the VAPI osc slopes up, there is accumulation on the stock and that the prices should start to climb. The SELL signal is given when the VAPI decreases (distribution). Divergences are usually very effective too. Tuning the "length" parameter may be needed for your instrument (default is 10), do let me know if you find a different value to be optimal for majority of instruments.

Cycle Channel Oscillator [LazyBear]Here's an oscillator derived from my previous script, Cycle Channel Clone (). There are 2 oscillator plots - fast & slow. Fast plot shows the price location with in the medium term channel, while slow plot shows the location of short term midline of cycle channel with respect to medium term channel. Usage of this is similar to %b oscillator. The slow plot can be considered as the signal line. Bar colors can be enabled via options page. When short plot is above 1.0 or below 0, they are marked purple (both histo and the bar color) to highlight the extreme condition. This makes use of the default 10/30 values of Cycle Channel, but may need tuning for your instrument.

Hurst Cycle Channel Clone [LazyBear]Cycle Channel is loosely based on Hurst's nested channels. Basic idea is to identify and highlight the shorter cycles, in the context of higher degree cycles. This indicator plots the shorter term (red) & medium term (green) cycles as channels. Some things to note: As you can see the red channel keeps moving with in the bounds of green channel. When green breaches red channel, it usually signifies extreme market condition. Both red & green channels provide support/resistance levels. Also, the green channel provides S/R levels to the inner red channel. Movement of red channel with reference to green highlights reversal points, reducing momentum et al. For ex., point "(x)" in the chart shows how red channel failed to reach the upper green channel line and highlighted the local top. Use this just like other bands/channels. I have more indicators derived from this idea, will post them later.

McClellan Summation Index [LazyBear]McClellan Summation Index is a breadth indicator derived from McClellan Oscillator (). The Summation Index is simply a running total of the McClellan Oscillator values. Even though it is called a Summation Index, the indicator is really an oscillator that fluctuates above/below zero. As such, signals can be derived from bullish/bearish divergences, directional movement and centerline crossovers. A moving average can also be applied to identify upturns and downturns. Indicator uses the advancing/declining stocks from NYSE by default, but you can change them to any market in the options dialog.

McClellan Oscillator [LazyBear]Developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan, the McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues. Subtracting the 39-day exponential moving average of Net Advances from the 19-day exponential moving average of Net Advances forms the oscillator. As the formula reveals, the McClellan Oscillator is a momentum indicator that works similar to MACD. McClellan Oscillator signals can be generated with breadth thrusts, centerline crossovers, overall levels and divergences. I have added the following options: - Can choose Advancing/Declining issues of any market. Default is NYSE. - Can show the EMAs and/or oscillator. - Ratio Adjusted Calculation mode (as explained in the stockcharts link below) or default mode. - Can use custom timeframe. Default is chart timeframe. More info: stockcharts.com Complete list of my indicators: docs.google.com Thanks @mpinky for pointing out the StockCharts version of this oscillator.

Mirrored MACD [LazyBear]This is a famous indicator I have seen used by many Forex traders in MT4 platform. This indicator uses the difference between EMA of "close" and EMA of "open" to form the oscillator lines (not just a convergence/divergence calculation between EMA of "close") Current market state is determined by which histogram is above zero line. For more confirmation, wait for it to cross above Signal line too. Crossing down the signal or zeroline should be the exit condition. Also, look for divergences. Use plot labels BullHisto/BearHisto/BearLine/BullLine/ZeroLine/Signal for setting up alerts. Complete list of my indicators: ----------------------------- docs.google.com

LBR Paintbars [LazyBear] Added coloring of LB bars above/below Keltner Channel (as suggested by user @20813 below in the comments). Updated code: pastebin.com See comments section below for a sample chart. Copy the code from the pastebin above and update your local copy (TV doesn't allow me to update an already published code -- yet!). Added features: - Switch ON/OFF KC - Mark LB bars above/below KC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The LBR PaintBars indicator changes the colour of the price bars based on the trend direction (derived from price & volatility bands). This is mostly used as a confirmation indicator. For the Pine coders: I suggest trying stdev() in lieu of atr()...some wild combinations can be derived from this simple idea :) Indicator supports the following options: - Switching on/off volatility bands - Switching on/off LBR colors (lime/maroon). - Color non-LBR bars (blue).

Price Volume Rank [LazyBear]Price-Volume Rank, designed by Anthony J. Macek, compares the direction of the change in price (up or down) to the direction of the change in volume and assigns a number to that specific relationship. By quantifying price/volume interaction, P-V rank seeks to determine our position within a typical market cycle. The various modes shown on the chart above or explained below. Also, read on for a little trick using the new Pine feature that you can use in your script. How to read the PVR? ------------------- The most desirable market condition occurs when both price and volume are moving up, that phenomenon is assigned a PVR of 1. The next most desirable condition, when prices are still moving up but volume is diminishing, is given a PVR of 2. Although still technically healthy, this relationship between price and volume issues a warning that market momentum is weakening. The worst-case scenario, seen when selling pressure is greatest with prices dropping and volume increasing, is given PVR's weakest designation, 4. Finally, even though prices are still moving down, volume begins to diminish as selling pressure abates. This price/volume relationship is assigned a PVR of 3, often alerting us to a potential buying opportunity ahead. What do the modes mean? ---------------------- 1) Histogram Mode: This plots PVR along with helpful ranges. Be careful when PVR is trending at turn-around points. 2) MA Crossover Mode: This plots a slow/fast MA of PVR. Default is 5/10 SMA. Buy is signalled when slow MA falls below fast MA. Sell is signalled when slow MA crosses up fast MA. There is a warning line at 2.5 that can be used for more confirmation. 3) Double Smoothed Crossover Mode: Same as MA crossover, but PVR is smoothed more. Warning line (2.5 level) is very useful in this mode. Use slow MA as the signal and fast MA of PVR for tracking the market. Misc notes: ----------- This won't work for Forex and other instruments for which PulseWire doesn't expose volume. Thanks to the new Text rendering feature of PlotShape(), I can actually let users know of that :) Good use-case, eh? I will post a sample chart below in the comments. Feel free to use any part of this code in your indicators. More info: -------- Stocks & Commodities V. 12:6 (235-239): Price-Volume Rank by Anthony J.

Volatility Switch Indicator [LazyBear]The Volatility Switch (VOLSWITCH) indicator, by Ron McEwan, estimates current volatility in respect to historical data, thus indicating whether the market is trending or in mean reversion mode. Range is normalized to 0 - 1. When Volatility Switch rises above the 0.5 level, volatility in the market is increasing, thus the price action can be expected to become choppier with abrupt moves. When the indicator falls below the 0.5 level from recent high readings, volatility decreases, which may be considered a sign of trend formation. Trading strategy as suggested by Ron McEwan is: - If VOLSWITCH is less than 0.5, volatility decreases, which may be considered a sign of trend formation - If VOLSWITCH is greater than 0.5, market is in high volatility mode. Can be choppy. Use RSI to look for OB/OS levels. I have implemented support for 2 lengths (14 and 21) Note that, Pine doesn't support loops. Once it is introduced, I will publish an updated version. Building a strategy out of this is straightforward (refer to my strategy explanation above), I strongly encourage new Pinescript coders to try to a plotarrow() based overlay indicator to get more familiar with Pine.

Coral Trend Indicator [LazyBear]This is a famous trend indicator in MT4 platform. Is this better than other MA based trend systems? I will let you decide that :) Supported modes: - Trend mode: This is the default. Draws a trend line (like MA) and colors them based on the trend. - Ribbon Mode: Shown at the bottom pane. No trend lines are drawn. - OverlayMode: Bars are colored based on the current trend. Trend line is also displayed (default color=gray). Complete list of all my indicators: docs.google.com

Anchored Momentum [LazyBear]Anchored Momentum (AMOM), by Rudy Stefenel, is a modified momentum indicator to capture the relative momentum. AMOM uses SMA as the reference for deriving momentum, thereby anchoring it to that MA rather than "value of close n bars back". Mr.Stefenel suggests using this like other oscillators -- crossing signal line, crossing zero, divergences. For alerts, use "Momentum", "Signal" and "ZeroLine" plots. Configurable options: - Momentum Period: Default is 10. - Signal Period: Default is 8. - Smooth Momentum: Default is FALSE. If TRUE, enables EMA(close) to be used rather than "close". - Smoothing Period: Default is 7. If momentum smoothing is enabled, this period is used. - Show Histogram: Default is FALSE. This is not histogram per se (indicator - signal), but is used for highlighting the crosses. Check out the histogram pane below to see an example. - Enable Barcolors: Default is FALSE. If enabled, colors the price data (bars/candles) using histogram color. More info: Anchored Momentum, Stocks & Commodities V16:2 (89-98) Complete list of all my indicators: docs.google.com

Market Direction Indicator [LazyBear]Market Direction Indicator (MDI), by Donald Lambert, is an extension of simple moving average cross over systems. Series of price cross over points are determined to derive MDI. Note that the short/long lengths will differ between instruments. They need to be tuned properly. I have added an option to specify a "cutoff" parameter. When MDI is in the cutoff zone (-/+ cutoff), bars are colored gray. Set this to zero to turn off cutoffs. Other options: - OverlayMode: Enable this to color bars. MDI values are not plotted. If unchecked, MDI default rendering mode is Histogram mode. - ShowBelowZero: Plots the negative values below zero (Oscillator mode) Use "MDI" and "ZeroLine" for setting up alerts. Make sure MDI is in OscillatorMode. Master list of all my indicators: docs.google.com
