Ribbon Concordance [RC Tools]RC Tools — Ribbon Concordance
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
█ OVERVIEW
Most ribbon-of-moving-averages tools either average the ribbon or rely on simple crossovers. This one asks a different question: is the ribbon consistently ORDERED? A cleanly stacked ribbon signals real trend conviction; a tangled, crossing one signals chop — often before any single moving average has crossed another.
█ WHAT IT DOES
Plots a live moving-average ribbon directly on the price chart (choice of 7 MA types, up to 10 MAs), plus a rank-concordance score (-100 to +100) in its own pane. Classifies the ribbon into four bands — Strong Bullish, Weak Bullish, Weak Bearish, Strong Bearish — colours the chart background accordingly, and shows a table with the current band, how long price has been in it, and historical base rates (average forward return and win rate) for each band.
█ THE THEORY BEHIND IT
Ribbon tools usually throw away information about HOW consistently the ribbon is stacked, collapsing it to an average or a single crossover event. This tool instead measures rank concordance — a public, long-established statistical concept (related to Kendall's tau) that quantifies how well two orderings agree with each other. Applied to a moving-average ribbon: compare every pair of MAs, shorter-period against longer-period, and score whether their relative ordering is consistent with a clean trend. A ribbon where every shorter MA sits above every longer one (or below, for a downtrend) scores near the extreme; a tangled, crossing ribbon averages out near zero. This is a different statistical question than "is price above its moving average" or "how efficient was the recent price path" (see the Regime Classifier for that approach) — it is specifically about internal agreement across the whole ribbon at once.
█ HOW IT IS CALCULATED
1. Build a ribbon of N moving averages (configurable type and count), with periods increasing linearly from a base period by a fixed spacing.
2. For every pair of MAs (i, j) where i has a shorter period than j: score +1 if MA > MA (bullish-consistent ordering), -1 if reversed, 0 if tied.
3. Sum all pair scores and normalise by the number of pairs compared, scaled to -100..+100.
4. Optionally EMA-smooth the raw score, which is otherwise a somewhat steppy pairwise count, for a cleaner read.
Classification occurs ONLY on confirmed bar close — the band never flips mid-bar and reverses. The MA ribbon itself plots live, exactly like any moving average on any chart; that is normal behaviour, not repainting. Only the concordance score and its band classification are held to confirmed bars.
█ SETTINGS & CONFIGURATION
• Source, MA Type (SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA / HMA / DEMA / TEMA)
• Base Period and Period Spacing — set the shortest MA and the gap between each successive one
• Ribbon Size (3-10 MAs) — more MAs smooth the read but add lag from the longest one; fewer react faster but are noisier
• Score Smoothing Length — EMA smoothing on the raw concordance score (set to 1 for none)
• Strong Threshold — the score above which (or below its negative) a band counts as "Strong" rather than "Weak"
• Forward Return Window — the horizon used for the base-rate table
• Show MA Ribbon on Chart — toggle the ribbon overlay off if you only want the concordance pane
• Ribbon gradient colours (short end / long end) and band colours are fully configurable
█ HOW TO USE IT
Use it as a trend-conviction filter alongside your existing process. Strong Bullish/Bearish bands indicate a cleanly stacked ribbon — a higher-conviction environment for trend-following approaches. Weak bands, or frequent flips between Weak Bullish and Weak Bearish, indicate the ribbon is loosely ordered — more caution warranted for trend-following, and potentially a more favourable environment for mean-reversion approaches instead. Check the base-rate table's sample count before assuming any one band is systematically favourable.
Works on any asset and timeframe; ribbon size and spacing should be tuned to the timeframe you trade (a wide, long-spaced ribbon on a low timeframe will lag heavily).
█ LIMITATIONS
• This is a ribbon of moving averages — inherently lagging by construction. It confirms alignment after price has already moved, and this cannot be removed without curve-fitting.
• Near-zero or Weak readings are common in choppy, range-bound conditions and do NOT predict a breakout direction — they only describe the ribbon's current state of (dis)agreement.
• Ribbon size is a real trade-off: more MAs smooth the read but add lag from the longest included MA; fewer MAs react faster but are noisier.
• The concordance score and band update on confirmed bar close only. The ribbon MA lines themselves plot live, like any moving average — that is normal behaviour, not repainting.
• Historical base-rate stats need a meaningful sample count (check N) before being trusted, especially for less common bands.
• Four bands are a deliberate simplification of a continuous reality. Markets do not actually occupy discrete states.

Dear fellow traders, this is Tommy, and today I'd like to introduce you to the Multi-Moving Averages Ribbon (MMAR) indicator, which I believe to be one of the best MMAR indicators available on PulseWire. Moving Averages is a popular technical analysis tool used to smooth out price data by creating an average of past price data points over a specified time period. They can be used to identify trends and provide a clearer view of price action, as well as generate buy and sell signals by observing crossovers between different moving average lines.
In the MMAR indicator, we have incorporated 12 different types of Moving Averages, including Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Weighted Moving Averages (WMA), Hull Moving Averages (HMA), and Smoothed Moving Averages (SMMA), among others. This allows traders to choose the optimal type for their preferred trading commodities.
One common technique in technical analysis is using multiple Moving Averages with varying lengths, which provides a more comprehensive view of price action. By analyzing multiple Moving Averages with different timeframes, traders can better understand both short- and long-term trends and make more informed trading decisions. Some of the well-known combinations of multiple moving averages used by traders are (5, 9, 14, 21, 45), (6, 11, 16, 22, 51), [8, 13, 21, 55), (50, 100, 200), and (60, 120, 240).
Another way to gauge the strength of the market trend is to look for the arrangement of the Moving Averages. If they are in a sequential order, with the shortest on top and the longest on the bottom, it is most likely a bullish trend. On the other hand, if they are arranged in reverse order, with the shortest on the bottom and the longest on top, it is most likely a bearish trend. The 'Trend Light' in the indicator settings will automatically signal when the Moving Averages are in either an orderly or reverse arrangement.
Lastly, I have added a useful feature to the indicator: the 'MA Projection'. This feature projects and forecasts the Moving Averages in the future, allowing traders to easily identify confluence zones in future candlesticks. Please note that the projection levels may change in the case of extreme price action that significantly affects the Moving Averages.
This is free so any Tradingview users can use this indicator. Just search TOMMAR in the indicator section located on top of the chart.

안녕하세요 트레이더 여러분, 토미입니다. 오늘 여러분들에게 소개드릴 지표는 다양한 길이의 이동평균선 조합을 사용할 수 있는 MMAR (Multiple Moving Averages Ribbon)입니다. 아마 제가 만든 MMAR 지표가 트레이딩뷰에서 가장 쓸만할 겁니다. 이동평균선, 줄여서 이평선은 말 그대로 특정 기간 범위 내의 주가들을 평균한 값들로 이루어진 선입니다. 제가 이평선 관련된 강의 자료는 예전에 올려드린 바 있으니 더 자세한 내용이 궁금하신 분들은 아래 링크/이미지 클릭하시길 바랍니다.
본 지표는 Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Weighted Moving Averages (WMA), Hull Moving Averages (HMA), 그리고 Smoothed Moving Averages (SMMA) 등을 포함해 총 12개 종류의 이평선 지표를 사용할 수 있습니다. 또한 각 이평선의 길이들도 하나하나 일일이 설정하실 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 요즘에 자주 보이는 이평선들의 조합이 , , , , 그리고 등등이 존재하는데 여러분의 취향에 맞게 설정하여 사용하시면 됩니다.
몇 가지 주요 기능에 대해서 설명 드리겠습니다. 설정에서 ‘Trend Light’를 키면 이평선들의 정배열 혹은 역배열 여부를 쉽게 볼 수 있습니다. 이평선이 정배열일때는 맨 아래의 이평선에 초록불이, 역배열일때는 맨 위의 이평선에 빨간불이 켜지며 둘 다 아닐 땐 아무 불도 켜지지 않습니다. 또한 ‘MA Projection’을 키면 이평선들의 미래 예측 값들을 확장해줍니다. 당연히 가격 변동이 갑자기 크게 나오면 이평선 예측 확장 레벨들이 확 바뀌겠죠.
지표창에 TOMMAR 검색하시거나 아래 즐겨찾기 인디케이터에 넣기 클릭하시면 누구나 사용하실 수 있습니다~ 여러분의 구독, 좋아요, 댓글은 저에게 큰 힘이 됩니다.

+ Multi-timeframe Multiple Moving Average LinesThis is a pretty simple script that plots lines for various moving averages (what I think are the most commonly used across all markets) of varying lengths of timeframes of the user's choosing. Timeframes range from 5 minutes up to one month, so regardless if you're a scalper or a swing trader there should be something here for you.
There are 8 lines (that can be turned on/off individually), which may seem like a lot, but if you use two averages and want to display four different timeframes for each, you can do that. The nice thing is that because the lines start plotting from the current bar they won't clutter up the screen. And obviously having moving averages from different timeframes on your chart makes price action more difficult to read (I mean sure, you can make them invisible, but who wants to do that all the time).
For each line there are two labels. One with the moving average type, and the other with its specific timeframe. I can't include the moving average length because it's not a string input. If anyone has a workaround for this, let me know, otherwise I would simply recommend setting different colors depending on the length, or if you only use one or two lengths and one or two moving averages this shouldn't be an issue. I had to use two labels because for the label text I couldn't include more than one string input, this is why there is an input for the 'moving average type label distance.'' You will want to adjust this depending on if you are trading crypto, futures, or forex because in some cases there may still be label overlap.
Pretty much everything else is self-explanatory.
I've added alerts. I might need to modify them if I can, because it would be nice for them to state the name and timeframe of the moving average. But I think this will do for now.
Enjoy! Indicator

Multiple MAs + No Trend Zone + ATR WidgetThis is my first Pine Script attempt. Nothing special, just an "all in one" for the most common things I use, and what I have found to be the most common in a lot of strategies.
Great for free and limited accounts as it combines 7 total indicators into one.
-- First 5 indicators are Independant Moving Averages:
-Each one can be set for length, as well as source and type (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) individually
-- Second type (6th) of indicator is one I find extremly useful for staying OUT of consolidation trading. It's called a "No Trend Zone" indicator I swipped from the Hoffman Startegy. Basically, its set for a small deviation (0.5) of a 35 EMA, which creates a "Band" around the 35 line. When you have this "Band" flat or with no discernable incline/decline, with price action OR some or multiple moving averages inside this banded zone, it typically indicates a zone of consolidation. This will help you identify when you may be in one of those zones, that way you don't get trapped "waiting for paint to dry" before the market starts to move again with your position, and keep you from entering should you be considering the market at that time.
The last indicator is my favorite, and one I will refine a little deeper soon.
-- The ATR widget finishes us out. This widget can be customized for colors, turned on or off, and automatically rounds the ATR (ATR period based on the chart timeframe) to a nice readable number for what you're trading. It has settings to show or not, the length, what rounding style to use (forex pip 0.0001, forex/stock/etf/indicies 0.01) where to show it on the pane, a Multiplier Factor (for stop loss calculations automatically) and the colors.
***NOTE ABOUT ATR WIDGET:
I am primarily a forex trader, so the defaults are for Forex 0.0001. If you see some odd numbers (like 55798 on a current chart), check the inputs tab on the settings, and change the "ATR Style" from "Forex 0.0001" to "Forex/Stock/ETF/Indicies 0.01", and you should arrive with the correct number.

Hx 9 Moving AveragesThis script is designed to handle and provide quick and easy access to up to 9 different moving averages in one indicator and one tab.
Basically, it leverages the 'inline' and 'group' arguments of the 'input' function to provide you with a simple and straightforward way to:
- define your favorite moving averages by choosing type, length, source and color in the same tab and
- decide which moving averages to display in one click on a checkbox.
I do not like to have to select the color of an indicator in another tab. So, I put everything in the Inputs tab.
In addition, I like to "linewidth code" my moving averages so that a sma has a different thickness than an ema for example.
To do so, just define the line width that you want to associate with a moving average type in the "LINE WIDTH" section.
Once parameters are set to your liking, just check / uncheck the moving averages you want to display / hide (and save your settings as default).
This script handles 9 different moving averages and implements sma, wma, ema, vwma, rma (RSI) and hma (Hull).
It can easily be modified to change the number of available moving averages or include other types of moving averages.
The default settings provide an example of commonly used moving averages with associated colors ranked from Hot (more nervous) to Cold (less nervous) with the exception of Hull moving average displayed in gray.
These settings are just an example and are NOT meant to be used as a trading system! DYOR!
Hope it will be useful.
