Strategy Myth-Busting #11 - TrendMagic+SqzMom+CDV - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our 11th one is an automated version of the "Magic Trading Strategy : Most Profitable Indicator : 1 Minute Scalping Strategy Crypto" strategy from "Fx MENTOR US" who doesn't make any official claims but given the indicators he was using, it looked like on the surface that this might actually work. The strategy author uses this on the 1 minute and 3 minute timeframes on mostly FOREX and Heiken Ashi candles but as the title of his strategy indicates is designed for Crypto. So who knows..
To backtest this accurately and get a better picture we resolved the Heiken Ashi bars to standard candlesticks . Even so, I was unable to sustain any consistency in my results on either the 1 or 3 min time frames and both FOREX and Crypto. 10000% Busted.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
Trend Magic by KivancOzbilgic
Squeeze Momentum by LazyBear
Cumulative Delta Volume by LonesomeTheBlue
Trend Magic consists of two main indicators to validate momentum and volatility. It uses an ATR like a trailing Stop to determine the overarching momentum and CCI as a means to validate volatility. Together these are used as the primary indicator in this strategy. When the CCI is above 0 this is confirmation of a volatility event is occurring with affirmation based upon current momentum (ATR).
The CCI volatility indicator gets confirmation by the the Cumulative Delta Volume indicator which calculates the difference between buying and selling pressure. Volume Delta is calculated by taking the difference of the volume that traded at the offer price and the volume that traded at the bid price. The more volume that is traded at the bid price, the more likely there is momentum in the market.
And lastly the Squeeze Momentum indicator which uses a combination of Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels and Momentum are used to again confirm momentum and volatility. During periods of low volatility, Bollinger bands narrow and trade inside Keltner channels. They can only contract so much before it can’t contain the energy it’s been building. When the Bollinger bands come back out, it explodes higher. When we see the histogram bar exploding into green above 0 that is a clear confirmation of increased momentum and volatile. The opposite (red) below 0 is true when there are low periods. This indicator is used as a means to really determine when there is premium selling plays going on leading to big directional movements again confirming the positive or negative momentum and volatility direction.
If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.

Market TrendThis indicator show how is the trend of 40 stock in SET Index Thailand ordered by market capitalization.
RSI, Moving Average and MACD is used to calculate vale of each stocks.
The trend will be assigned and cumulative as 1 represent uptrend while -1 represents downtrend.
For example RSI
If RSI > RSI moving average, it will be uptrend and return 1.
If RSI < RSI moving average, it will be downtrend and return-1.
The calculation will return positive and negative of total 40 stocks (or other tickers).
If positive is greater than negative, it mean that the market is uptrend and vise versa.
Here some examples
RSI
Moving Average

TICK Divergence + Heikin Ashi [Pt]This indicator identifies divergence between NYSE TICK and price, displays TICK in line, bar, or Heikin Ashi format, calculates various types of moving average lines and shows moving average crossovers.
What is TICK
NYSE TICK, also known as the TICK index, is a technical analysis indicator that shows the number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that are trading on an uptick or a downtick in a particular period of time. The TICK index is calculated by subtracting the number of stocks trading on a downtick from the number of stocks trading on an uptick. A reading of +1000 on the TICK index, for example, would indicate that there are 1000 more stocks trading on an uptick than on a downtick. The TICK index is often used as a measure of market sentiment, as it can provide insight into whether there is more buying or selling pressure in the market at a given time. A high TICK index reading may suggest that there is strong buying pressure, while a low TICK index reading may indicate that there is more selling pressure in the market.
The TICK index is usually very volatile, so this indicator is best suited for lower timeframes, such as 1 to 5 min charts.
Features
1) Shows bullish, bearish, hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences
2) Three display modes for TICK data: Line, Bar, Heikin-Ashi
3) Plot various moving average lines and crossovers. Overall background
4) Configurable significant zones. Background colors will change based on closing TICK value.
Deemer Breakaway Momentum ThrustBreakaway momentum is a "breadth thrust" coined by Walter Deemer in the 1970s that occurs when the ten-day total advances on the NYSE are greater than 1.97 times the ten-day total NYSE declines.
This indicator calculates the ratio and plots it as a histogram. The 1.97 threshold is also plotted as a horizontal line. Anytime the histogram gets above the line Breakaway Momentum has occurred.
This is a rare signal that has only happened 25 times since 1945.
Market Structure MA Based BOS [liwei666]
🎲 Overview
🎯 This BOS(Break Of Structure) indicator build based on different MA such as EMA/RMA/HMA, it's usually earlier than pivothigh() method
when trend beginning, customer your BOS with 2 parameters now.
🎲 Indicator design logic
🎯 The logic is simple and code looks complex, I‘ll explain core logic but not code details.
1. use close-in EMA's highest/lowest value mark as SWING High/Low when EMA crossover/under,
not use func ta.pivothigh()/ta.pivotlow()
2. once price reaching EMA’s SWING High/Low, draw a line link High/Low to current bar, labled as BOS
3. find regular pattern benefit your trading.
🎲 Settings
🎯 there are 4 input properties in script, 2 properties are meaningful in 'GRP1' another 2 are display config in 'GRP2'.
GRP1
MA_Type: MA type you can choose(EMA/RMA/SMA/HMA), default is 'HMA'.
short_ma_len: MA length of your current timeframe on chart
GRP2
show_short_zz: Show short_ma Zigzag
show_ma_cross_signal: Show ma_cross_signal
🎲 Usage
🎯 BOS signal usually worked fine in high volatility market, low volatility is meaningless.
🎯 We can see that it performs well in trending market of different symbols, and BOS is an opportunity to add positions
BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP
BINANCE:ETHUSDTPERP
🎯 MA Based signal is earlier than pivothigh()/pivotlow() method when trend beginning. it means higher profit-loss rate.
🎯 any questions or suggestion please comment below.
Additionally, I plan to publish 20 profitable strategies in 2023; indicatior not one of them,
let‘s witness it together!
Hope this indicator will be useful for you :)
enjoy! 🚀🚀🚀
On Balance Volume Scaled - OBV ScaledThe main idea of this oscillator is to place the OBV oscillator and its oscillation around the range of 0 and around -50 to +50 and for this scaling of the "On Balance Volume" oscillator, I have used Min-max normalization.
Since this oscillator does not have a specific minimum and maximum, just setting the maximum and minimum does not seem the best thing to do. As in this case, we will constantly observe sudden changes and we will have problems such as volatility. On the one hand, we will constantly deal with sudden changes and problems such as volatility. Also on the other hand, the continuous collisions of the high/low(+50 & -50) and index and returning from that is another thing that we are going to deal with.
Therefore, to solve these problems and create more flexible maximum and minimum ranges, another similar method has been used. Choosing the maximum of our normalization to the size of the moving average of 100 candles of the index maximum and choosing the minimum of normalization to the size of the moving average of 100 candles of the minimums of the OBV index, and then normalizing the OBV index with the Min-max method with those ranges, is the recommended method ,which has been used to eliminate problems. In this case, we will not have any problem hitting 50 and returning or hitting -50 and returning. Also, our scaled OBV index will have the ability to touch and cross 50 and -50 and can fluctuate without problems.
Market Breadth: Trends & BreakoutsVisualize the percentage of stocks in an index participating in trends and breakouts/breakdowns.
The default data source is the S & P 500: the percent of stocks above/below the 200 and 50 day moving averages, and the percentage of stocks making new 52 week breakouts/breakdowns. You can pick new data sources in the settings.
The blue band represents the percentage of stocks above/below the 200 day moving average. (It's always 100% in width, unlike say Bollinger bands). The thin blue lines are the same but for the 50 day moving average. The red and green areas represent the percentage of stocks making new 52 week highs/lows.
In the example chart you can see a divergence between the market as a whole which continues up and to the right throughout 2021, where as fewer and fewer stocks were above their own 200 day moving average, causing the blue band to trend down. Before the market turns beginning 2022 you can see more stocks making new 52 week lows, even as other stocks make 52 week highs. After the market tops, the percentage of 52 week lows intensifies and the percentage of stocks below their 200 day moving average is already over 50%.
Distribution DaysWhat is Distribution Day?
A distribution day is when a market representative index (for example, Nifty 50) loses more than 0.2 percent in a day, with volume higher than that of the previous session.
When a distribution day occurs, it hints that big institutional investors are exiting or reducing their positions in the market. Institutional activity is what moves any market, especially in India where retail participation is small.
How does it help in sensing market weakness?
When the market is in an uptrend, the intensity of market weakness is determined by the distribution day count. An investor keeps count of all valid distribution days (as per above definition) during an uptrend.
A distribution day count of 2-3 is benign and usually normal in an uptrend. But when the count goes to 5-6, one should prepare to get his/her positions trimmed.
Distribution Day Expiry:
ven though a distribution day hints that institutions may be liquidating their positions, it loses its impact after 25 trading sessions. A distribution day is also removed from the count after the index rallies 5 percent above that day’s close.
[Pt] TICK + Heikin Ashi RSI IndicatorThis indicator combines NYSE TICK and RSI to aim to provide a view of NYSE market trend strength.
What is TICK
NYSE TICK, also known as the TICK index, is a technical analysis indicator that shows the number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that are trading on an uptick or a downtick in a particular period of time. The TICK index is calculated by subtracting the number of stocks trading on a downtick from the number of stocks trading on an uptick. A reading of +1000 on the TICK index, for example, would indicate that there are 1000 more stocks trading on an uptick than on a downtick. The TICK index is often used as a measure of market sentiment, as it can provide insight into whether there is more buying or selling pressure in the market at a given time. A high TICK index reading may suggest that there is strong buying pressure, while a low TICK index reading may indicate that there is more selling pressure in the market.
By default, I am using -800 and 800 for oversold and overbought levels. These are configurable. Also, this indicator includes TICK divergence signals.
The TICK index is usually very volatile, so this indicator is best suited for lower timeframes, such as 1 to 5 min charts.
Idea of TICK neutral zone
As part of this indicator I've identified what I consider as "neutral" range for the TICK. Based on my own personal experience, the market tends to be in consolidation or choppy in this range. By default, I've defined this range to be -200 to 200. This range is configurable.
Signals
In combination with RSI and Heikin Ashi RSI (HARSI), which help smooths out the RSI values and make it easier to identify trends and potential reversal points, this indicator aims to generate Bullish vs Bearish signals based on the following conditions:
- bullish / bearish HARSI candle
- Inside bar on HARSI candle
- TICK trend (above or below Neutral zone)
- RSI trend (above or below 0, but not overbought or oversold)
- RSI / HARSI convergence and divergence
When all bullish conditions are met, the signal turns bright green. Bright red when all bearish conditions are met. These generated signals aims to provide users easy to read visual cues to help with their trades.
A table is also provided in attempt to identify the trend in real time:
TICK trend:
- Bullish, Extended
- Bullish
- Neutral w/ Bullish bias
- Neutral w/ Bearish bias
- Bearish
- Bearish, Extended
RSI:
- Bullish
- Bearish
Note on scale
This indicator is based on the scale for TICK, hence the RSI and HARSI are scaled. By default, standard overbought RSI value of 70 = 800 on this scale, whereas oversold value of 30 = -800.
Credits:
Heikin Ashi RSI code was borrowed from @JayRogers - Heikin Ashi RSI Oscillator
On Balance Volume CrossoversCheck on balance volume but with crossover. You can choose the smoothing method, which is set by default to use the Volume Weighted Moving Average (bringing volume to the equation is always a good idea) but you can change to SMA, MA, EMA, ...
Hope you guys enjoy it and don't forget to rate it up! :)
I plan to include % from 0-100 OBV in here later! Stay tuned.
Feedback is cool.
TICK Grid (TheMas7er)█ OVERVIEW
Shows the NYSE Tick Index, as it is used by TheMas7er .
This indicator has several customization options built-in that can be configured:
• Positive and negative threshold levels with show/hide option and color selection.
• Zero line with show/hide option and color selection.
• Bar colors are fully customizable.
• Symbol can be changed. Default is USI:TICK for the New York Stock Exchange.
Tick Indices are available in TradingView as a symbol - just like any other stock - which you can show on a chart.
This script adds a pane with your selected Tick Index, which can then be used as an indicator to make short-term trading decisions.
█ CONCEPTS
The Tick Index is a short-term barometer of internal market strength.
It shows the number of stocks trading on an uptick minus the number of stocks trading on a downtick, and is used by day traders to view the overall market sentiment at a given point in time.
It's categorized as a Breadth Indicator because it analyzes the "Breadth and Scope" of an entire Index.
Since the Tick Index measures the up/down ticks of a universe of stocks, any collection of stocks (market,index,...) could theoretically have it's own Tick Index.
Some of the major Tick Indices are:
• USI:TICK for the New York Stock Exchange
• USI:TICKQ for Nasdaq
• USI:TICKI for the Down Jones
Session High and Low IndicatorThis script is meant for stocks that have a pre-market session. It is meant to be used on the 1 min time frame. This script will draw a green line at the high of pre-market, and a red line at the low of pre-market and extend these lines across the regular session day
This makes it easy to see if price action during regular market has broken above pre-market high or broken below pre-market low.
The high/low skips any quick spikes in price action (similar to what happens at 8:30 am every day).
Custom OBV OscillatorThis is a modified OBV indicator that creates an oscillator by smoothing the difference between the value of the OBV and a short moving average of the OBV. SMAs of the oscillator are also provided to study crosses and convergence/divergence.
The indicator should mostly be used on common stock, but works on futures contracts with some tuning and a shorter timeframe.
[blackcat] L2 Handicap Volume for StocksLevel 2
Background
Handicap volume is a way to understand market logic.
Function
I have studied many classic trading textbooks about volume. Most textbooks tell me that the most authentic indicator in the world is the trading volume, because other things can be faked, but the trading volume is real, and the real money is there, so it cannot be faked! But now, almost everyone knows that if you place an order there, and then eat it yourself, and the volume comes out, it does not reflect the real long-short will of the market.
So why is volume still considered the most important technical indicator by many successful traders in the stock market? Here is to distinguish from the duration and intensity of the trading volume, the actions of the main whales. It's like in the sea, small fish and shrimp can only create ripples, while whales can set off huge waves. When you need to fish, you must go to the sea with both ripples and huge waves. If the volume of a stock or a currency can fluctuate evenly or pulse ECG, the price will move unnaturally, and it will also be small fluctuations or ECG. This corresponds to a group of small fish and shrimp retail investors gathering, or stocks or altcoins with high control of whales, these two cannot participate. Otherwise, either your money will be wasted there, or you will be taken over by the unscrupulous project party with high control area.
This technical indicator is the handicap trading volume and turnover rate indicators. You can see clearly the type of funds operating on this target in a suitable time period, and thus determine whether this target is in line with your trading style and whether you want to participate Among them and so on.
My technical indicator is mainly to clearly see whether there are main whales participating in the stock by distinguishing the trading volume and the enlarged turnover rate. Its main purpose is to judge the character of the stock, that is, the nature of the stock. And in the yellow and purple positions with high turnover rates, it prompts the behavior of the main whales. This is just a reminder. As for whether the main whale will attack or retreat, you need to conduct an in-depth analysis based on market logic. This analysis data has gone beyond the scope of ordinary candle chart analysis, and requires additional dimensions of information to assist judgment.
Remarks
Feedbacks are appreciated.
TICK IndicatorSimilar to the USI:ADD index, the NYSE TICK index measures the number of stocks with in the index with positive ticks versus negative ticks. Levels such as +/- 1000 or +/- 2000 can be considered as areas of overbought and oversold.
GIRISH indicatorHello traders,
This indicator is the enhancement to my previous indicator (RSI+OBV). There is combined RSI and OBV with DMI. This new indicator is combination of RSI and OBV with VWAP . I have been using this indicator for intraday trades in NIFTY & BANKNIFTY .
The white line indicates the movement of VWAP wrt current price. There default range for this has been defined as -40 to 40 .
Entry for long: When white line goes below -40, we need to wait for green background. Entry has to be taken when green background appears. If price goes below the entry point, averaging can be done once. Price will surely go long and give us good profit.
Entry for short: When white line goes above 40 , we need to wait for red background (if darker red comes, it is better) . Entry has to be taken when red background appears. If price goes above the entry point, averaging can be done once. Price will surely go down and give us good profit on short side.
PS: Please do back testing in chart before taking trades.

Cheat Code's RedemptionWELCOME TO THE CHEAT CODE REDEMPTION PACK!!!!
I want to take a deep dive into what this indicator consists of and how you can use it to improve your trading strategy.
-What does the CCR consist of?
The Oscillator:
The oscillator is a combination of a true strength index sampled from on-balance volume and a regular RSI at default settings. The reason I added the on-balance volume is that it does not tend to remain at overbought or oversold conditions as traditional momentum oscillators do.
The Histogram:
The histogram is copied to a tee from the MACD histogram, the only difference here is that I extended the moving averages to depict a special pairing; the ema55 slow and ema21 fast. I then converted it into another true strength index, as the calculations fit all time frames.
The Divergences:
The divergences of an indicator can be extremely useful in catching scalp opportunities, a DARK RED/GREEN represents a REGULAR divergence, while a SALMON/LIGHT GREEN color represents a HIDDEN divergence.
The moving average:
The moving average built into this indicator is depicted as an aqua or yellow line, when the oscillator is moving in an uptrend, the moving average will appear aqua, when the oscillator is in a downtrend it will appear yellow. Use this as confirmation bias or as the third derivative of market position.
Oscillator Colors:
The Oscillator color is an important thesis of this indicator. When the line is green, it means the market is effectively in an uptrend, when it is red, it means the market is in a downtrend. Use this to prevent longing in a serious downtrend and vice versa.
If you have any questions regarding the indicator(s), feel free to reach out to me in the comments or through Direct Message!!!

BHARAT IND The Williams Alligator indicator is a trend following indicator based on the idea that financial markets and individual securities usually trend at a lower rate than sideways ranges. It uses smoothed Moving Averages to analyze market trends. The indicator was developed with the thought in mind that both institutions and individuals generally collect more profit when a market is trending strongly.
Breadth - Advance Decline ThrustBreadth indicator. Takes NYSE/NQ/US up volume and divides it by the total volume to get an advance decline thrust ratio which can be used as a measure of market breadth.
Also has the option to look at the cumulative breadth over the trailing x days.
Also has the option to display as cumulative net up volume which will show lower values than advance decline thrust on days where there were large buy/sell imbalances, but the total day's volume was low.
Multi-Indicator Divergence ScreenerHere is a new screener for everyone.
I have applied my Better Divergence On Any Indicator logic to scan 3 different indicators and up to 6 different assets at one time. Shoutout to LonesomeTheBlue and QuantNomad for their respective work on divergence and scanner scripts. I've implemented similar logic to put together this scanner.
So far, I have added support for RSI, OBV, MACD, MFI, Stochastic, and FSR, though I'm happy to add more by request. Please note, for simplicity, I have removed the logic to filter for only overbought/oversold divergences. Because this can scan both centered oscillators and non-centered indicators, overbought/oversold does not apply to all of them. I may try to find a way to work in back in later, as time allows.
Personally, I like to find confluences different types of indicators. For instance, agreeable divergence with a centered strength oscillator like RSI and a volume based indicator like OBV gives me more confidence that there will be follow-through.
Like in the Better Divergence script, you can opt to scan for confirmed divergences, potential divergences, or both.
You have the option to show or hide a table that will tell you exactly which assets have divergence, on which indicator they were found, and how many points of divergence were identified. By default, bull divergences will be green, bear will be red, but you can change these base colors to your liking. Confirmed divergences are shown with a solid background, while potentials (if selected) are shown with transparent background. If all 3 of your chosen indicators have divergence in the same direction, the asset name will show in the bull or bear color to highlight the confluence.
Alerts have also been set up to fire on bar close. The message will essentially tell you the same thing the table does, but in condensed format.
You can choose to have alerts fire any time there is any divergence detected across all assets, only when there are divergences on at least 2 of the chosen indicators for a given asset, or limit them to only when all 3 indicators show divergence in agreement.
