Stocks vs Sector Leaderboard**Stocks vs Sector Leaderboard** compares the performance of up to 10 selected stocks against a sector index or other benchmark.
The indicator is designed to quickly show which stocks are **outperforming or underperforming their sector** over a configurable lookback period.
The default configuration compares a selection of ASX Energy stocks against the **S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (XEJ)**, but both the stocks and benchmark are fully configurable.
**How it works**
For each selected stock, the indicator:
* Calculates performance over the selected number of bars.
* Calculates the benchmark's performance over the same period.
* Calculates relative performance as **Stock Performance − Sector Performance**.
* Estimates market capitalization using the latest available shares outstanding and current share price.
* Ranks the selected stocks by estimated market capitalization.
* Displays the results in a configurable leaderboard directly on the chart.
A positive **vs Sector** value means the stock has outperformed the benchmark over the selected period. A negative value means it has underperformed.
The lookback uses the **current chart timeframe**. For example, a lookback of 60 means 60 daily bars on a daily chart, 60 hourly bars on a 1-hour chart, or 60 weekly bars on a weekly chart.
**Configuration**
The indicator allows you to configure the benchmark, up to 10 stock symbols, performance lookback, table position, font size, normal text color, outperforming color, and underperforming color.
Although the default configuration uses ASX Energy stocks and XEJ, the indicator can be used with other sectors, indices, exchanges, or groups of stocks by changing the symbols in the settings.
**PulseWire request limit**
The indicator intentionally supports a maximum of **10 stocks** because it needs to retrieve external price and financial data for each symbol using Pine Script `request.*()` functions.
PulseWire imposes limits on the number of unique `request.*()` calls a script may make. On plans with a **40 unique-request limit**, increasing the number of stocks can cause the script to exceed that limit and fail to execute.
Because request limits and access to financial data can depend on the user's PulseWire plan, **this indicator may not work, or may have limited functionality, on PulseWire's free plan**.
**Note**
Market capitalization is an estimate based on share price and the latest shares-outstanding data available through PulseWire. It should be used for ranking and comparison rather than as an authoritative real-time market-cap figure.
This indicator is intended as an analysis tool and does not provide trading or investment advice.

Sector Power & Market RegimeThe Sector Power & Market Regime Indicator is a multi-asset dashboard designed to quantify market dynamics through the lens of volatility-adjusted momentum. Unlike standard price-action indicators, this tool uses statistical normalization to compare the 11 major S&P 500 sectors, a benchmark (SPY), and custom equities on a leveled playing field.
1. The Rationale: Quantifying Market Behavior
The core philosophy of this indicator is that markets do not just move "up" or "down"—they move through different behavioral archetypes.
Statistical Normalization: By utilizing a Z-Score Window (defaulted to 252 days, or one trading year), the script calculates how an asset’s current performance deviates from its historical mean
. This allows a high-volatility sector like Technology (XLK) to be compared directly to a lower-volatility sector like Utilities (XLU)
.
Volatility Adjusted Momentum: By dividing price momentum (ROC) by the asset's current volatility (ATR), the script ensures that a high-volatility stock doesn't automatically look "stronger" than a stable one. It measures how much an asset is moving relative to its typical daily range.
Z-Scored X-Axis: This ROC/ATR value is then Z-scored over a 252-bar window (one trading year)
. This identifies how many standard deviations the current volatility-adjusted momentum is from its one-year mean.
Volatility Disorder (Z-Scored TR Dispersion):
The script evaluates the standard deviation of True Range relative to average True Range, then z-scores that value over the historical window. This quantifies how unusually dispersed or unstable volatility is versus the asset’s normal behavior, allowing the indicator to distinguish between smooth/trending price action and noisy/chaotic conditions.
. It essentially asks: Is this move backed by sustainable strength, or is it becoming dangerously erratic?
2. Understanding the Four Market States
The indicator categorizes every asset into one of four color-coded regimes
:
Efficient (Green): Characterized by strong, steady momentum with manageable volatility. This represents a healthy, sustainable trend where trend-following strategies typically thrive.
Explosive (Red): This state occurs during high-velocity breakouts or parabolic moves. While highly profitable, these are often "hot" zones that require active trade management.
Chaotic (Orange): Signals high volatility or trend exhaustion. Price action is often unpredictable here, suggesting a "hands-off" approach or a transition to a different regime.
Stable (Blue): Indicates consolidation or low-volatility environments. These are "quiet" periods where the asset is building energy for its next major move.
3. Key Metrics: Power & Age
Power (X-Value): This is the numerical strength of the asset
. A higher number indicates stronger relative momentum. Traders use this to rank sectors from strongest to weakest at a single glance.
Age (d): This tracks how many bars (days) the asset has remained in its current state
.
Fresh Trends: An asset in the Efficient state with an age of "2d" suggests a brand-new trend.
Overextended Trends: An asset in the Explosive state with an age of "20d" suggests the move may be nearing a climax.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Use This in Your Trading Strategy
A. Alpha Generation (Relative Strength) Compare your Custom Stocks to the SPY benchmark
. If SPY is in a "Stable" (Blue) state but your stock is "Efficient" (Green) with higher "Power," your stock is showing significant relative strength and is a prime candidate for a long position.
B. Sector movement Tracking Monitor the 11 sectors to see where "Big Money" is moving
. If you see the "Defensive" sectors (XLU, XLP, XLV) moving into Efficient states while "Growth" sectors (XLK, XLY) move into Chaotic states, it is a strong signal of a defensive market shift.
C. Risk Management & Exit Timing The "Age" metric is your primary tool for timing exits
. If a sector you are holding moves from Efficient to Chaotic or stays in Explosive for an extended period, the "Age" will alert you that the trend is maturing, signaling it may be time to trail your stops tighter or harvest profits.
D. Customization Traders can input their own specific watchlist (e.g., MU, STX, BIIB) to see exactly how their personal portfolio is performing relative to the broader market sectors Indicator
Symbol Table NSEThis Pine Script has been designed specifically for Indian Traders that displays a dynamic information table overlay on NSE (National Stock Exchange) charts. This is NOT a buy/sell indicator — it is purely an informational tool that shows metadata about the current chart being viewed.
Core Functionality: -
The script creates a customizable table that displays key information about the security being charted:
Symbol/Underlying: Shows the ticker symbol of the current chart:
Chart Timeframe: Displays the current chart's time period (1-minute, 5-minute, hourly, daily, etc.)
Sector: Retrieves and displays the sector classification of the security
Industry: Shows the industry classification of the security
Lot Size: Calculates and displays the lot size for NSE futures contracts based on their point value
Key Features:
Customization Options:
Choose from 9 different line colors (White, Green, Red, Pink, Orange, Blue, Purple, Gray, Black)
Toggle each information element on or off independently
Select table position from 9 locations on the chart (Top/Middle/Bottom × Left/Center/Right)
Adjust table sizing with options for pane labels and symbol info text
Customize table styling with border width and background color controls
Smart Lot Size Calculation:
Automatically detects NSE futures contracts (symbols ending with '!')
Requests the futures contract's point value data
Calculates lot size based on the point value, defaulting to 1 if data is unavailable.
Dynamic Updates:
Updates on every new candle (when barstate.islast is true)
Automatically refreshes all displayed information based on the active chart.
Use Cases=>
Traders use this indicator for quick reference of chart context without cluttering the chart with analysis tools. It's particularly useful for NSE traders who need to track lot sizes for futures contracts or quickly identify sector/industry information while analyzing a chart. Indicator
S&P 500 Breadth BullstackCore Idea of the Indicator:
The indicator is not a classic buy/sell trigger, but rather a breadth regime scanner for the S&P 500. In other words, it measures how many stocks in each sector are trading above their 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages (Simple Moving Average - SMA), compresses that information into a color-coded view, and visualizes whether there is a true “bullstack” in the market.
In practical terms, this means it is especially useful for filtering long positions during strong market phases, scaling into them, and turning defensive earlier when market breadth starts to weaken.
Structure:
The code loads three breadth series for each of the 11 S&P 500 sectors, plus the Nasdaq-100: 20D, 50D, and 200D.
The data is retrieved using request.security() from other symbols or contexts; in Pine, this function is used to access values from other symbols or timeframes within the script.
The script also calculates three averages from the 11 sectors (tot20, tot50, tot200) to create an overall view of S&P 500 market breadth.
Color Logic:
The core idea is: 20D represents short-term momentum, 50D represents medium-term confirmation, and 200D represents the long-term trend.
The bullstackColor() function does not create a simple traffic-light system, but rather a graduated state model: green/turquoise means broad strength, white marks the transition zone, yellow/orange signals early weakness, red to near-black indicates clear breadth weakness, and pink represents a special case of negative divergence.
This divergence occurs when many stocks are still above their 200D line in the long term (b200 > 65), while short-term momentum is already breaking down significantly (b20 < 45) — a typical late-cycle/distribution signal.
Long Strategy:
For longs, the indicator is most powerful when used as a market filter:
The best entries occur when overall breadth rotates up out of capitulation through neutral (white) and then into light green, with 20D breadth picking up first as short-term momentum, 50D breadth then confirming as the medium-term trend, and 200D remaining stable as the long-term trend.
The highest-quality longs occur when not only “Total SPY” turns green, but especially cyclical sectors such as XLY, XLF, XLI, XLK, and ideally the Nasdaq block as well are participating. That usually means the rally is broad, risk-on, and more durable.
Specifically, I would derive three long setups from this:
Early long (first tranche) on the turn from capitulation into the neutral zone, when 20D breadth is clearly rising and 50D breadth is no longer declining.
Confirmation long (second tranche), when 20D > 50D > 50 and several leading sectors turn green at the same time.
Trend add-on (final tranche), when the overall market and cyclical sectors such as XLY, XLF, XLI, and XLK are already green and rotating into turquoise, while pullbacks on the price chart remain shallow (only down to the SMA20 or slightly below).
Position Management:
For position management, the color is almost more important than the entry itself: as long as the picture remains green and 20D only fluctuates slightly, that argues for holding rather than nervous re-trading.
Partial profit-taking or tighter risk management makes sense once strong green fades into pale green or white, because that often marks the transition from expansion to exhaustion.
A clear warning signal against new longs is pink: in that case, the long-term trend is still intact, but short-term momentum is already rolling over — exactly the kind of environment where late longs are often rewarded the least. Caution is warranted here, and the first partial profits should be secured.
Short Strategy:
I would trade shorts much more selectively than longs with this indicator, because breadth indicators in uptrends can often stay “too strong” longer than short setups can tolerate.
The better short opportunities do not occur on the first yellow bar, but when the overall picture shifts from white/yellow into orange/red, while 20D breadth and 50D breadth are weak at the same time and defensive sectors look better than cyclical ones. That points more to genuine market distribution rather than just a simple pullback in individual sectors.
The cleanest short entries come after a failed rebound out of a pink divergence, or when multiple sectors flip synchronously into red/dark red after a warning phase, especially if Nasdaq, Tech, and other cyclical sectors confirm the weakness.
A simple practical rule would therefore be:
Prefer longs when breadth is expanding, 20D leads first, and 50D/200D then confirm.
No fresh longs during pink divergences.
Only take shorts when the weakness is broad, synchronized, and visible across sectors.
One more important point:
The script measures market breadth, not price structure. Therefore, it is best used as a top-down filter together with price triggers in SPY/ES/QQQ or in individual stocks — for example, breadth turning green plus a breakout or trend pullback on the chart, rather than trading breadth in isolation.

Sector Rotation & Allocation StrategySector Rotation & Allocation Strategy
Overview This advanced indicator analyzes the relationship between Defensive and Cyclical sectors to identify market regimes and generate precise buy/sell signals. It automatically detects which asset you're viewing and provides tailored recommendations based on current sector rotation dynamics.
What It Does Identifies Market Regime – Determines if markets are in Risk-On (growth) or Risk-Off (defensive) mode Auto-Detects Your Asset – Classifies the current chart into one of 11 sectors Generates Trading Signals – Provides BUY/SELL signals based on sector alignment with market conditions Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Offers allocation recommendations from 1 week to 12 months Value Assessment – Scores each asset 0-100 to determine if it's a good trade NOW
How It Works
Market Regime Detection The indicator compares Defensive Sectors (Health Care, Consumer Staples, Utilities) against Cyclical Sectors (Technology, Financials, Energy, Industrials, Materials, Real Estate, Discretionary, Communication).
Risk-On Market (Green, >0): Cyclical sectors outperforming Economic growth expected Investors favoring growth stocks Action : Buy cyclicals, reduce defensives
Risk-Off Market (Red, <0): Defensive sectors outperforming Uncertainty or fear in markets Flight to safety occurring Action : Buy defensives, reduce cyclicals
Understanding the Four Tables
1. MARKET REGIME (Top Left) Market Regime : Current state – RISK-ON or RISK-OFF Bias : Which sector type is favored right now Strength : STRONG/MODERATE/WEAK – conviction level Current Sector : Your asset's sector classification Signal : Trading recommendation for your specific asset
2. SECTOR RANKINGS (Top Right) Shows relative strength of all 11 sectors vs SPY benchmark. Rel Str : Percentage outperformance/underperformance vs market Signal : ✓ = Outperforming, ✗ = Underperforming, − = Neutral
3. ALLOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS (Bottom Center) Suggested portfolio allocation between Defensive and Cyclical sectors. 1 Week : Tactical – follows current regime closely (70/30 split) 1 Month : Near-term positioning (65/35 split) 3 Months : Medium-term allocation (60/40 split) 6 Months : Balanced approach (50/50 split) 12 Months : Strategic/Contrarian – assumes mean reversion (40/60 split)
4. ASSET ANALYSIS (Bottom Left) Sector : Auto-detected sector classification Value Rating : STRONG BUY / BUY / HOLD / REDUCE / AVOID Value Score : 0-100 numerical assessment Rel Strength : How this asset performs vs SPY Regime Fit : Is this asset aligned with current market regime?
Trading Signals Explained
BUY Signals Oscillator crosses above oversold (30) Asset's sector is gaining momentum Regime is favorable for that sector
SELL Signals Oscillator crosses below overbought (70) Asset's sector is losing momentum Regime is turning unfavorable for that sector
How Value Score Works (0-100)
Relative Strength (40 points max) : Asset outperforming SPY by 5%+ → 40 points Asset outperforming SPY by 2-5% → 30 points Asset outperforming SPY by 0-2% → 20 points Asset underperforming slightly → 10 points Asset underperforming significantly → 0 points
Sector Alignment (30 points max) : Defensive in Risk-Off OR Cyclical in Risk-On → 30 points Misaligned sector → 0 points Unclassified → 15 points
Momentum (30 points max) : RSI > 60 → 30 points RSI 50-60 → 20 points RSI 40-50 → 10 points RSI < 40 → 0 points
Interpretation : 80-100 : STRONG BUY – High conviction opportunity 65-79 : BUY – Favorable setup 45-64 : HOLD – No clear edge 30-44 : REDUCE – Unfavorable conditions 0-29 : AVOID – High risk of underperformance
Best Practices Use Daily Timeframe or Higher – More reliable signals Combine with Price Action – Confirm with support/resistance Monitor Regime Changes – Transitions offer the highest ROI Respect Risk Management – Always use stop losses Don't Fight the Regime – Buying defensives during Risk-On is low probability

Druckenmiller Alpha-Physics [Dual-Core]Stop trading in a vacuum. Start trading like a Macro Fund Manager.
The Druckenmiller Alpha-Physics engine is a professional-grade dashboard designed to solve the single biggest problem in trading: Context. Most traders buy a "dip" only to realize it was a crash, or sell a "rip" only to watch it fly higher.
This tool solves this by synthesizing Market Physics (Velocity & Acceleration) across two distinct timeframes (Weekly Macro & Daily Tactical) and filtering every signal through a Global Liquidity Shield.
It is engineered based on the trading philosophy of Stanley Druckenmiller: “I don’t care about the news. I care about the liquidity and the acceleration of the trend.”
How It Works (The Dual-Core Logic)
The engine runs 27 distinct sector assets through a dual-loop physics processor:
The Macro Core (Weekly): Analyzes the 18-month trend. Is the "Tide" coming in or going out?
The Tactical Core (Daily): Analyzes the 3-day price action. Is the "Wave" crashing or rising?
It then synthesizes these two data streams into a single Action Signal.
The Signals (How to Read)
The dashboard tells you exactly what to do based on the conflict between Macro and Micro:
🟢 BUY PULLBACK (The "Alpha" Trade):
Logic: Macro is RIPPING (Bullish) + Tactical is TOP/CRASH (Bearish).
Meaning: You are buying a long-term leader on a short-term discount.
🔵 STINK BID (The "Bottom" Trade):
Logic: Macro is TURNING UP + Tactical is CRASHING.
Meaning: The physics have shifted positive, but price is still dumping. Place limit orders -5% lower to catch the panic bottom.
🔴 SELL RIP (The "Trap" Trade):
Logic: Macro is TOPPING (Bearish) + Tactical is RIPPING (Bullish).
Meaning: The long-term trend is dead. Sell into this short-term rally immediately.
⚪ HOLD: All systems go. Sit on your hands and ride the trend.
The "Invisible" Liquidity Shield
The most dangerous time to buy is when the Fed is draining liquidity. This script monitors the 10-Year Treasury Yield (TNX) and VIX in real-time.
If Liquidity is OK (Navy Header): Signals are valid. Green means Go.
If Liquidity is TIGHT (Maroon Header): The entire dashboard enters "Defense Mode." Buy signals are tinted Maroon to warn you that you are fighting the Fed.
Included Universe (The "Ultimate" List)
Includes 27 institutional-grade tickers covering every corner of the market:
Growth: XLK, SMH, IGV, GRID, QTUM
Cyclical: JETS, XHB, KRE, XLI, XLF
Commodities: GDX, URA, XLE, XLB, TAN
Risk/Safety: IBIT, TLT, XLV, XLP
Note: This script uses dynamic request handling optimized for Pine Script v6. It is designed for Premium/Ultimate plans due to the high volume of data processing (54+ simultaneous streams). Indicator

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)
Aerospace & Defense: ITA (iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense 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.

Set your threshold (default 5%) - this determines how big a divergence triggers the alert.
RS Score Alerts:
Get notified when RS Score crosses your threshold:
Crossed Above: RS Score went from below to above your threshold (bullish)
Crossed Below: RS Score dropped from above to below threshold (bearish)
Set your threshold (default 70) to focus on strong stocks.
Sector Rotation Alert:
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!

Sector Relative StrengthDescription
This script compares sector performance relative to the S&P 500. Sector price levels or charts alone can mislead, because they tend to move with the broader market. An increase in a sector’s price does not necessarily indicate strength, as it may simply be following the index.
For more a more reliable picture, the script calculates a ratio between each sector ETF and SPY. If the ratio has increased, the sector has outperformed the index. In case it has declined, the sector has underperformed. If the value is near zero, the sector has moved in line with the index. The sectors are presented in a table and sorted on relative performance.
Calculation Method
The performance is expressed as a percentage change in the ratio over a user-defined lookback period. The default lookback is set to 21 bars, which corresponds to one month on a daily chart. This value can be adopted in the settings to match preferred time period.
Z-Score
In addition to the percentage change, the script calculates a Z-score of the ratio, which measures how far the current value deviates from its recent mean. A high positive Z-score indicates that the ratio is significantly above its average, while a negative value indicates it is below. This normalization allows for comparison between sectors with different price levels or volatility profiles.
Table Columns
- Relative %: The sector's performance relative to SPY over the selected lookback period
- Z-Score: Standardized measure of current performance ratio is relative to its average
- Trend Arrow: Indicates the direction of relative performance up down or flat
Example Interpretation
For example, if XLK shows a 3.7% change, it has outperformed SPY over the selected period. Another sector might show a -2.1% change, which indicates underperformance. While both values shows relative strength or weakness, the Z-score is optional and can provide additional context based on how unusual that performance is compared to the sector's own recent behavior.
Use Case
This approach helps evaluate overall market conditions and supports a top-down method. By starting with sector performance, it becomes easier to identify where the market is showing leadership or weakness. This allows the stock selection process to be more deliberate and can help refine or customize screeners based on certain sectors. Indicator

S&P 500 Sector StrengthsThe "S&P 500 Sector Strengths" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to provide traders and investors with a comprehensive view of the relative performance of various sectors within the S&P 500 index. This indicator utilizes the True Strength Index (TSI) to measure and compare the strength of different sectors, offering valuable insights into market trends and sector rotations.
At its core, the indicator calculates the TSI for each sector using price data obtained through the request.security() function. The TSI, a momentum oscillator, is computed using a user-defined smoothing period, allowing for customization based on individual preferences and trading styles. The resulting TSI values for each sector are then plotted on the chart, creating a visual representation of sector strengths.
To use this indicator effectively, traders should focus on comparing the movements of different sector lines. Sectors with lines moving higher are showing increasing strength, while those with descending lines are exhibiting weakness. This comparative analysis can help identify potential investment opportunities and sector rotations. Additionally, when multiple sector lines move in tandem, it may signal a broader market trend.
The indicator includes dashed lines at 0.5 and -0.5, serving as reference points for overbought and oversold conditions. Sectors with TSI values above 0.5 might be considered overbought, suggesting caution, while those below -0.5 could be viewed as oversold, potentially indicating buying opportunities.
One of the key advantages of this indicator is its flexibility. Users can toggle the visibility of individual sectors and customize their colors, allowing for a tailored analysis experience. This feature is particularly useful when focusing on specific sectors or reducing chart clutter for clearer visualization.
The indicator's ability to provide a comprehensive overview of all major S&P 500 sectors in a single chart is a significant benefit. This consolidated view enables quick comparisons and helps in identifying relative strengths and weaknesses across sectors. Such insights can be invaluable for portfolio allocation decisions and in spotting emerging market trends.
Moreover, the dynamic legend feature enhances the indicator's usability. It automatically updates to display only the visible sectors, improving chart readability and interpretation.
By leveraging this indicator, market participants can gain a deeper understanding of sector dynamics within the S&P 500. This enhanced perspective can lead to more informed decision-making in sector allocation strategies and individual stock selection. The indicator's ability to potentially detect early trends by comparing sector strengths adds another layer of value, allowing users to position themselves ahead of broader market movements.
In conclusion, the "S&P 500 Sector Strengths" indicator is a powerful tool that combines technical analysis with sector comparison. Its user-friendly interface, customizable features, and comprehensive sector coverage make it an valuable asset for traders and investors seeking to navigate the complexities of the S&P 500 market with greater confidence and insight.

EMA Distance & Sector InfoThis indicator provides insights into price trends relative to Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and displays sector/industry information about the asset. Below is a detailed explanation of its purpose and what it is designed to achieve:
Purpose of the Code
The indicator offers two key functionalities:
1. Analyzing Price Distance from Multiple EMAs:
• Helps traders understand how far the current price is from key EMAs, expressed as a percentage.
• Calculates average percentage distances over a specified period (default: 63 days) to spot consistent trends or mean reversion opportunities.
• Useful for trend-following strategies, allowing the trader to see when the price is above or below important EMAs (e.g., 9, 21, 50, 100, and 150-period EMAs).
2. Displaying Asset Sector and Industry Information:
• Displays the sector and industry of the asset being analyzed (e.g., Technology, Consumer Goods).
• Provides additional context when evaluating performance across a specific sector or comparing an asset to its peers.
Who Would Use This Indicator?
This indicator is particularly helpful for:
1. Swing Traders and Positional Traders:
• They can use it to track whether the price is trading significantly above or below critical EMAs, which often signals overbought/oversold conditions or trend strength.
• The average percentage distances help to identify momentum shifts or pullback opportunities.
2. Sector/Industry-Focused Investors:
• Understanding an asset’s sector and industry helps investors gauge how the asset fits into the broader market context.
• This is valuable for sector rotation strategies, where investors shift funds between sectors based on performance trends.
How It Helps in Trading Decisions
1. Entry and Exit Points:
• If the price is far above an EMA (e.g., 21 EMA), it might indicate an overbought condition or a strong trend, while a negative percentage could signal a pullback or reversal opportunity.
• The average percentage distances smooth the fluctuations and reveal longer-term trends.
2. Contextual Information:
• Knowing the sector and industry is useful when analyzing trends. For example, if Technology stocks are doing well, and this asset belongs to that sector, it could indicate sector-wide momentum.
Summary of the Indicator’s Purpose
This code provides:
• EMA trend monitoring: Visualizes the price position relative to multiple EMAs and averages those distances for smoother insights.
• Sector and industry information: Adds valuable context for asset performance analysis.
• Decision-making support: Helps traders identify overbought/oversold levels and assess the asset within the broader market landscape.
In essence, this indicator is a multi-purpose tool that combines technical analysis (through EMA distances) with fundamental context (via sector/industry info), making it valuable for traders and investors aiming to time entries/exits or understand market behavior better. Indicator

Sector relative strength and correlation by KaschkoThis script provides a quick overview of the relative strength and correlation of the symbols in a sector by showing a line chart of the close prices on a percent scale with all symbols starting at zero at the left side of the chart. It allows a great deal of flexibility in the configuration of the sectors and symbols in it. The standard preset sectors cover the most important futures markets and their symbols.
However, up to ten sectors with up to ten symbols each can be freely configured. Each sector is defined by a single line that has the following format:
Sector name:Symbol suffix:List of comma separated symbols
For example, the first predefined sector is defined as follows.
Energies:1!:CL,HO,NG,RB
1. The name of the sector is "Energies"
2. The suffix is "1!", i.e., to each symbol in the list "1!" is appended to get the continous future for the given symbol root. When using stock, forex or other symbols, simply leave the suffix empty.
3. The list of comma separated symbols is "CL,HO,NG,RB", i.e. crude oil, heating oil, natural gas and gasoline. As the suffix is "1!", the actual symbols whose prices are shown are "CL1!","HO1!","NG1!" and "RB1!"
You can choose to use settlement-as-close and back-adjusted contracts. The sector can also be determined automatically ("Auto-select"). In this case, it is determined to which sector the symbol currently displayed in the main chart belongs and the script displays it in the context of the other symbols in the sector.
By selecting a suitable chart time frame and time range, you can quickly determine which symbols in the sector are stronger or weaker and which are more or less strongly correlated.
The following symbols are best suited for a quick trial, as the sectors are preset for these:
CL1!,ES1!,6A1!,6B1!,6c1!,6E1!,6J1!,6M1!,6N1!,6S1!,GC1!,GF1!,HE1!,HG1!,HO1!,LBR1!,LE1!,NG1!,NQ1!,PA1!,PL1!,RB1!,SI1!,YM1!,ZB1!,ZC1!,ZF1!,ZL1!,ZM1!,ZN1!,ZO1!,ZR1!,ZS1!,ZT1!,ZW1!,CC1!,CT1!,DX1!,KC1!,OJ1!,SB1!,RTY1!
You can also use the script to compare any symbols (e.g. different shares) with each other. Preferably use the "Custom" sector for this. Indicator
