Performer
Tired of spending time chasing down top performing sector(s) of the day? With this indicator, it automatically shows you the top two performing sectors for the market's open trading day. Why only two? This is because most people would rather focus their trading only the top one or two performing sector/stock(s) of the trading day and you really need only one good trade to make your money for the trading day. Also, why clutter up your chart with a big information window showing the entire list of sectors? This script is free for all to use and was designed to be non-cluttering for those who like to keep their charts clean. You can tuck this indicator in one of any of the 4 corners of your charting window for that clean look. This script features two things:
- Shows the top two performing sectors (the first 2 lines of the Information Window; there's no option to remove this, as this is the intention of having this indicator - if one of the sectors doesn't work out for you, there's usually another sector, so that's why we have the top 2)
- The last line (3rd line) shows the ticker symbol of the current stock/security you're looking at, along with the relative volume (this relative volume follows my own formula and will not match any other relative volume's found elsewhere - you can hide or show this from the settings menu)
What was removed from the original design?
Parts of this script contains the old original leftover code I disabled where the original idea was to also show you the top performing stock within the absolute top performing sector; however, I ran into a snag in getting this to work properly. I think it's a limitation issue, as well as preventing scripters from unintentionally causing a performance hit on the client and/or server side. Upon running into this issue, I then decided on, how about randomly showing a few tickers for the top performing sector, but also ran into an issue where I didn't like how it behaved. In any case, those who aren't new to the stock market should somewhat have many of these ticker symbols memorized, as well as know (or at least have an idea) a few ticker symbols in the various stock sectors. Again, this extra feature has been disabled and many parts of the original code cleaned up (or disabled) to reduce any unnecessary performance hits (for this published release). Even though this additional feature was removed/disabled from this public release, you can however, utilize the relative volume to help you figure out if the stock/security you're currently looking at is below, at or above the normal average volume. Typically, if you see a high relative volume in a particular stock/security, you know that there's a lot of trading activity with that stock/security for the day, so it's worth keeping that stock/security on your watchlist.
