Easy To Trade indicator

15 thg 11, 2023

Abstract
This script evaluates how easy for traders to trade.
This script computes the level that the gains were distributed in many trading days.
We can use this indicator to decide the instruments and the time we trade.

Introduction

Why we think the trading markets are boring?
It is because most of the gains were concentrated in a few trading days.
We look for instruments we can buy at support and sell at resistance frequently and repeatedly.
However, it does not happen usually because it is difficult to find sellers sell at support and buyers buy at resistance.

This script is a method to measure if an instrument is difficult to trade.
If most of the gains were concentrated in a few trading days, this script says it is difficult to trade.
If gains were distributed in many trading days and we can buy low and sell high repeatedly, this script says it is easy to trade.

Therefore, this script measure how difficult for us to trade by the ratio between the area of value and the total gain.


How it works
1. Determine the instruments and time frames we are interested in.
2. Determine how many days this script evaluate the result. This number may depend on how many days from you buy in to you sell out.
3. If the instrument you choose is easy to trade, this script reports higher values.
4. If the instrument is long term bullish, the number "easy to invest" is usually higher than the number "easy to short" .
5. We can consider trade instruments which are easier to trade than others.
6. We can consider wait until the period that it is difficult to trade has past or keep believing that some instruments are easier to trade than others.
