MACD Color Trawler (by ChartArt)This version of the MACD indicator is 'trawling' (checking) if the MACD histogram and the zero line crossing with the MACD line are both positive or negative. The idea behind this is to show areas with higher or lower risk.
Features:
1. Enable the bar color
2. Enable the background color
3. Change zero line value
FYI:
"The MACD-Histogram is an indicator of an indicator. In fact, MACD is also an indicator of an indicator. This means that the MACD-Histogram is the fourth derivative of price."
First derivative: 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA
Second derivative: MACD (12-day EMA less the 26-day EMA)
Third derivative: MACD signal line (9-day EMA of MACD)
Fourth derivative: MACD-Histogram (MACD less MACD signal line)

Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram (v01)Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram (v01)
Overview
Fat Tony's Composite Momentum Histogram (v01) is a sophisticated momentum oscillator that combines four powerful technical analysis components into a single, unified signal. Unlike traditional single-indicator approaches, this tool synthesizes Williams %R, Stochastic, MACD Histogram, and Rate of Change to provide a comprehensive view of momentum across multiple timeframes and calculation methods.
The indicator displays as a histogram that oscillates between -150 and +150, with overbought/oversold zones clearly marked at +100/-100. When momentum crosses above the oversold level with sufficient volume, a green triangle appears below the histogram signaling a potential long entry. Conversely, when momentum crosses below the overbought level, a red triangle appears above signaling a potential short entry.
What Makes This Different
Multi-Component Synthesis: Rather than relying on a single momentum calculation, this indicator averages four complementary momentum measures, each capturing different aspects of price action:
Williams %R captures overbought/oversold conditions
Stochastic tracks momentum relative to recent price range
MACD Histogram shows trend strength and potential reversals
Rate of Change measures velocity of price movement, normalized by volatility
Intelligent Volume Weighting: The indicator amplifies signals when volume confirms the move. Recent volume is compared to a 20-bar average using a logarithmic scale, preventing extreme spikes from distorting the signal while still rewarding genuine volume-backed momentum.
Adaptive Normalization: The MACD component uses a 200-bar standard deviation to adaptively scale itself, ensuring the indicator remains responsive across different market conditions and volatility regimes.
Volume Filtering: Optional minimum volume threshold (5-bar average) prevents false signals during low-liquidity periods when price moves may not be meaningful.
Key Features
Composite Signal: Combines four momentum indicators into one cohesive oscillator
Volume Confirmation: Optional volume weighting amplifies signals backed by strong participation
Trend Filter: Optional EMA-200 filter to trade only with the dominant trend
Visual Clarity: Color-coded histogram (blue for positive, orange for negative, red/green at extremes)
Automatic Alerts: Built-in alerts for entry and exit signals
Customizable Thresholds: Adjust overbought/oversold levels to match your trading style
ROC Toggle: Enable/disable the Rate of Change component based on your preference
Debug Mode: View individual component plots for fine-tuning and validation
Settings & Customization
Momentum Settings
Length (default: 14): Primary calculation period for Williams %R and Stochastic
MACD Fast (default: 12): Fast EMA period for MACD calculation
MACD Slow (default: 26): Slow EMA period for MACD calculation
MACD Signal (default: 9): Signal line period for MACD
ROC Length (default: 10): Lookback period for Rate of Change calculation
MACD StDev Length (default: 200): Period for adaptive MACD normalization
Levels
Overbought Level (default: 100): Threshold for short signals
Oversold Level (default: -100): Threshold for long signals
Volume Settings
Enable Volume Weighting (default: ON): Amplifies signals when volume confirms
Volume Sensitivity (default: 1.5): Controls strength of volume impact (0.5-3.0)
Min Avg Volume (default: 50,000): Minimum 5-bar average volume to trigger signals
Components
Include ROC Component (default: ON): Adds Rate of Change to the composite
Enable Trend Filter (default: OFF): Only signals aligned with EMA-200 trend
Show Component Plots (default: OFF): Display individual components for analysis
How to Use
Basic Signal Interpretation:
Green triangle below histogram = Long signal (momentum crossing up through oversold)
Red triangle above histogram = Short signal (momentum crossing down through overbought)
Histogram color indicates momentum direction and strength
Background shading highlights extreme overbought/oversold zones
Entry Strategy:
Wait for the histogram to enter oversold territory (below -100) for longs, or overbought (above +100) for shorts
Look for the entry signal (triangle) when momentum crosses back through the threshold
Confirm the signal occurs with adequate volume (if volume filter is enabled)
Consider the trend filter if trading with the dominant direction only
Exit Strategy:
Optional exit signals appear when momentum crosses the zero line against your position
Consider taking profits at extreme opposite readings (e.g., long exit when reaching +100)
Use price action, support/resistance, or your own risk management for final exits
Fine-Tuning:
Shorter Length settings (8-10): More responsive, more signals, potentially more noise
Longer Length settings (18-21): Smoother signals, fewer false positives, slower response
Higher Volume Sensitivity: Requires stronger volume confirmation
Lower Overbought/Oversold Levels (±80): More frequent signals
Enable Trend Filter: Reduces signals but improves win rate by trading with trend
Best Practices
Combine with Price Action: Use this indicator to confirm what you're seeing on the price chart, not as a standalone system
Respect the Volume Filter: Low-volume signals are often false moves; the volume confirmation is there for a reason
Don't Chase: Wait for signals at extreme levels; entries in the middle zone tend to whipsaw
Use Multiple Timeframes: Check that momentum aligns across your trading timeframe and a higher timeframe
Backtest Your Settings: Default parameters work well on many instruments, but optimization for your specific market and timeframe can improve results
Technical Details
The indicator normalizes each component to a -50 to +50 range before averaging, ensuring equal weighting regardless of the raw scale differences between Williams %R, Stochastic, MACD, and ROC. The MACD component uses a hyperbolic tangent function for smooth, bounded normalization. Volume weighting applies a logarithmic scale to prevent extreme outliers from dominating the calculation while still capturing genuine volume surges.

Fat Tony's Composite Momentum + ROC (v0.4)Fat Tony's Composite Momentum + ROC Indicator
Overview
Fat Tony's Composite Momentum + ROC is a sophisticated momentum oscillator that combines multiple technical indicators into a single, volume-weighted signal. This indicator helps traders identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential reversal points by synthesizing Williams %R, Stochastic, MACD, and Rate of Change (ROC) into one composite reading.
Key Features
Multi-Indicator Composite: Combines Williams %R, Stochastic %K, MACD Histogram, and ROC for a comprehensive momentum view
Volume Weighting: Optional volume-based amplification to filter out low-conviction moves
Volume Filter: Requires minimum volume threshold (last 2 bars combined) before triggering signals
Adaptive MACD Scaling: Uses tanh normalization to keep MACD contribution proportional regardless of price volatility
Clear Visual Signals: Triangle markers appear only when crossing extreme levels with sufficient volume
Customizable Thresholds: Adjust overbought/oversold levels, volume sensitivity, and component lengths
How It Works
The indicator normalizes each component to a ±50 scale, then averages them together. The composite reading oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum.
Signal Generation:
🟢 Rebound Watch (Green Triangle): Fires when the composite crosses UP through the oversold level with adequate volume
🔴 Fade Watch (Red Triangle): Fires when the composite crosses DOWN through the overbought level with adequate volume
Customizing Settings
After adding to your chart, click the gear icon next to the indicator name to access settings:
Length: Base period for Williams %R and Stochastic (default: 14)
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal: Standard MACD parameters (default: 12/26/9)
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Threshold values for signals (default: ±100)
Use Volume Weighting: Toggle volume amplification on/off
Volume Sensitivity: Multiplier for volume weighting (default: 1.5)
Include ROC: Toggle Rate of Change component on/off
ROC Length: Lookback period for ROC calculation (default: 10)
Minimum Volume: Required volume (sum of last 2 bars) for signals to trigger (default: 50,000)
Usage Tips
Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volume
Lower timeframes (5m-15m) benefit from higher minimum volume settings
Volume weighting helps filter out noise during consolidation periods
Watch for signal triangles at key support/resistance levels for highest probability setups
The indicator works as a momentum gauge and reversal spotter - not an entry system by itself
Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alert conditions:
Click the "⏰" (alarm clock) icon on your chart
Select "Fat Tony's Composite Momentum + ROC"
Choose "Rebound Watch" or "Fade Watch"

Adil Hoca - US Market Score Only NasdaqMarket Score & Crash Detector Indicator
User Guide & Usage Instructions
This TradingView indicator provides a comprehensive market risk assessment, combining multiple financial metrics to detect potential market crashes, recessions, and overall trend regimes. It is especially designed to alert traders and investors about early warning signals before significant market downturns, enabling proactive decision-making.
Key Features
Multi-Metric Market Sentiment: Uses volatility indices, currency strength, yield spreads, breadth, and bond ratios to evaluate market health.
Crash Detection System: Monitors various conditions such as VIX spikes, breadth collapse, momentum cliffs, high-yield spread surges, and hidden market weaknesses.
Reccession Indicator: Incorporates the Sahm Rule, a proven recession indicator based on employment data.
Alert System: Sends real-time alerts for critical market conditions, including crashes, recession signals, and spreads alerts.
Visual Elements: Includes histograms, trend lines, threshold lines, and shape signals to visually interpret market states.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust weights, sensitivity, thresholds, and alert preferences to suit your trading style.
How it Works
1. Data Collection
The indicator fetches data from multiple sources:
Market volatility: VIX index
Currency strength: DXY index
Interest rates: SOFR, PCE inflation
Yield spreads: High Yield Credit Spread, Investment Grade Spread
Market Breadth: Ratio of QQQ to TLT (tech vs. bonds)
Bond Ratios: TMF/TMV (long-term bonds)
Employment Data: The Sahm Rule (monthly unemployment data)
2. Normalization
Data is normalized via z-score calculations over defined periods to standardize the metrics, making them comparable regardless of their original scale.
3. Composite Score Calculation
Each metric is weighted according to user-defined parameters, and a composite score is generated to represent the overall market sentiment, smoothed with an EMA for trend clarity.
4. Crash & Recession Detection
Crash System: Looks for conditions like VIX spikes, breadth collapse, momentum drops, high yield spread surges, and hidden weaknesses. If multiple conditions meet thresholds, alerts trigger.
Recession Indicator: Uses the Sahm Rule, which compares the current unemployment rate's three-month average to the lowest point over the past 12 months. When it exceeds a certain threshold, a recession signal is generated.
5. Alerts & Visualization
Sound & Shape Alerts: Signals like warning triangles, cross icons, and color changes.
Threshold Lines: Indicate levels like "Strong Bullish," "Strong Bear," and critical zones.
Dual Confirmation: Combines crash and recession signals for high-confidence alerts.
Usage & Customization
Placing the Indicator
Copy and paste the Pine Script code into TradingView's Pine Editor.
Save and add the script to your chart. Adjust inputs like weights, sensitivity mode, thresholds, and alert preferences via the input panel.
Key Inputs
Weights: Customize the importance of each metric.

Session ParmezanForex Session Range Boxes (Asia, Europe, US) — visual intraday session tracker for Forex and metals.
This indicator automatically marks the three major Forex trading sessions — Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and American (New York) — directly on your chart using dynamic colored boxes.
Each box represents the full price range (High–Low) formed during that session, helping traders visualize how volatility and liquidity evolve across the global trading day.
The script is built for intraday traders and session-based strategies, especially those who monitor breakouts from the Asian range or reactions during London–New York overlaps.
⚙️ Features
• Accurate session timing (UTC+3 / Moscow Time) — Asia: 03:00–12:00, Europe: 11:00–20:00, US: 16:00–01:00.
• Dynamic range boxes: each box expands in real time as new highs and lows are set during the session.
• Clear visual separation: each session is shown in its own color (blue for Asia, orange for Europe, green for US).
• Automatic daily reset — new boxes start every new session.
• Intraday focus only — visible up to the 1-hour timeframe (M1–H1) for clarity.
• Transparent design — semi-transparent fills keep candles readable even when sessions overlap.
• Lightweight performance — optimized use of box.new() and var variables avoids lag on lower timeframes.
🧭 Typical Use-Cases
• Identify Asian session ranges and watch for London breakouts or New York reversals.
• Visually align your intraday strategy with session volatility cycles.
• Combine with VWAP, liquidity zones, or market profile indicators for deeper confluence.
• Spot overlapping sessions — often the most active periods of the day.

NY ORB - Full Dynamic SystemNY ORB - Full Dynamic Strategy Summary
1. Opening Range and Session Timing
Opening Range (ORB) Calculation: The strategy identifies the ORB High and ORB Low by tracking the highest high and lowest low during the specified New York pre-market window, which is set by default from 8:30 to 8:45 (New York time).
Entry Window: Trading activity is restricted to a specific entry period, typically starting shortly after the ORB is established (default: 8:50 to 12:00).
Hard Exit Time: Any remaining open positions are automatically closed at a fixed exit time (default: 13:25).
2. Trade Entry Logic and Filters
An entry (Long or Short) is generated when the price breaks out of the established ORB, provided it passes a series of optional filters:
Direction Control: The user can restrict the strategy to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
Second Breakout Logic: An optional filter that requires the price to break out, reverse back into the range, and then break out again, confirming momentum after a consolidation.
Confirmation Candle Count: An optional filter that checks the close of a previous candle (e.g., 1 or 2 candles ago) to ensure the price was still inside the range, preventing premature entry.
Technical Filters (Optional): The entry is only executed if it aligns with selected indicators:
RSI: Filters for non-overbought (Long) or non-oversold (Short) conditions.
MACD: Requires the MACD line to be above/below the Signal line for alignment.
VWAP: Requires the price to be above/below the Volume-Weighted Average Price.
Trend Filter (SMMA): Requires the price to be above/below a 50-period Simple Moving Average.
3. Dynamic Risk and Exit Management
This strategy features highly configurable stop-loss and profit-taking mechanics:
Primary Stop Loss Methods: The Stop Loss distance can be dynamically chosen from four types:
Fixed: A fixed number of ticks.
ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Capped ATR: ATR-based, but with a hard maximum tick limit.
OR-Based: Based on a multiple of the actual ORB High-to-Low range.
Dynamic Profit Target: The Take Profit level is calculated dynamically based on a multiplier of either the ATR or the ORB Range.
Breakeven Stop:
If enabled, the Stop Loss automatically moves to the entry price (Breakeven) once the price moves a predetermined distance in the profitable direction.
An Adaptive Breakeven option allows the trigger distance to be calculated as a percentage of the overall ATR Profit Target.
Trailing Stop: The strategy uses a trailing stop, which can be custom-set (fixed ticks) or dynamically tied to the ATR. An optional feature Auto Tighten Trailing reduces the trailing multiplier once the breakeven level is hit.
MA Cross Exit: An alternative, counter-trend exit mechanism that closes the trade if the price crosses back over the chosen Moving Average (either SMMA or VWAP), overriding the pending profit target.
4. Daily Account Management
The strategy includes crucial daily risk controls to protect capital and lock in profits:
Daily Profit Limit: If the total daily PnL (realized and unrealized) hits a predefined maximum profit threshold (in ticks), all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the trading day.
Daily Loss Limit: Conversely, if the total daily PnL hits a predefined maximum loss threshold, all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the day.

Accumulation Distribution LineThis indicator provides an implementation of the classic Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL). It enhances the standard indicator with a built-in divergence detection engine.
Key Features:
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): The primary feature is the integrated divergence engine. It automatically detects and plots all three major types of divergences:
Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals.
Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
Divergence Filtering and Visualization:
Price Tolerance Filter: Divergence detection is enhanced with a percentage-based price tolerance (pivPrcTol) to filter out insignificant market noise, leading to more robust signals.
Persistent Visualization: Divergence markers are plotted for the entire duration of the signal and are visually anchored to the ADL level of the confirming pivot.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF ADL Line: The ADL line itself can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a timeframe other than the chart's timeframe is selected. Divergences are only calculated on the active chart timeframe.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 12 comprehensive alerts that trigger on the start and end of all 6 divergence types (e.g., "Regular Bullish Started", "Regular Bullish Ended").

v2.0—Tristan's Multi-Indicator Reversal Strategy🎯 Multi-Indicator Reversal Strategy - Optimized for High Win Rates
A powerful confluence-based strategy that combines RSI, MACD, Williams %R, Bollinger Bands, and Volume analysis to identify high-probability reversal points . Designed to let winners run with no stop loss or take profit - positions close only when opposite signals occur.
Also, the 3 hour timeframe works VERY well—just a lot less trades.
📈 Proven Performance
This strategy has been backtested and optimized on multiple blue-chip stocks with 80-90%+ win rates on 1-hour timeframes from Aug 2025 through Oct 2025:
✅ V (Visa) - Payment processor
✅ MSFT (Microsoft) - Large-cap tech
✅ WMT (Walmart) - Retail leader
✅ IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) - Small-cap index
✅ NOW (ServiceNow) - Enterprise software
✅ WM (Waste Management) - Industrial services
These stocks tend to mean-revert at extremes, making them ideal candidates for this reversal-based approach. I only list these as a way to show you the performance of the script. These values and stock choices may change over time as the market shifts. Keep testing!
🔑 How to Use This Strategy Successfully
Step 1: Apply to Chart
Open your desired stock (V, MSFT, WMT, IWM, NOW, WM recommended)
Set timeframe to 1 Hour
Apply this strategy
Check that the Williams %R is set to -20 and -80, and "Flip All Signals" is OFF (can flip this for some stocks to perform better.)
Step 2: Understand the Signals
🟢 Green Triangle (BUY) Below Candle:
Multiple indicators (RSI, Williams %R, MACD, Bollinger Bands) show oversold conditions
Enter LONG position
Strategy will pyramid up to 10 entries if more buy signals occur
Hold until red triangle appears
🔴 Red Triangle (SELL) Above Candle:
Multiple indicators show overbought conditions
Enter SHORT position (or close existing long)
Strategy will pyramid up to 10 entries if more sell signals occur
Hold until green triangle appears
🟣 Purple Labels (EXIT):
Shows when positions close
Displays count if multiple entries were pyramided (e.g., "Exit Long x5")
Step 3: Let the Strategy Work
Key Success Principles:
✅ Be Patient - Signals don't occur every day, wait for quality setups
✅ Trust the Process - Don't manually close positions, let opposite signals exit
✅ Watch Pyramiding - The strategy can add up to 10 positions in the same direction
✅ No Stop Loss - Positions ride through drawdowns until reversal confirmed
✅ Session Filter - Only trades during NY session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)

- Max Pyramid Entries: 10 ⭐⭐⭐
SESSION FILTER:
- Trade Only NY Session: ON
- NY Session: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET
**⭐ = Critical settings for success**
## 🎓 Strategy Logic Explained
### **How It Works:**
1. **Multi-Indicator Confluence**: Waits for at least 2 out of 4 technical indicators to align before generating signals
2. **Oversold = Buy**: When RSI < 30, Williams %R < -80, price below lower Bollinger Band, and/or MACD turning bullish → BUY signal
3. **Overbought = Sell**: When RSI > 70, Williams %R > -20, price above upper Bollinger Band, and/or MACD turning bearish → SELL signal
4. **Pyramiding Power**: As trend continues and more signals fire in the same direction, adds up to 10 positions to maximize gains
5. **Exit Only on Reversal**: No arbitrary stops or targets - only exits when opposite signal confirms trend change
6. **Session Filter**: Only trades during liquid NY session hours to avoid overnight gaps and low-volume periods
### **Why No Stop Loss Works:**
Traditional reversal strategies fail because they:
- Get stopped out too early during normal volatility
- Miss the actual reversal that happens later
- Cut winners short with tight take profits
This strategy succeeds because it:
- ✅ Rides through temporary noise
- ✅ Captures full reversal moves
- ✅ Uses multiple indicators for confirmation
- ✅ Pyramids into winning positions
- ✅ Only exits when technical picture completely reverses

How to Use the Frontend
💛 Price Line Tracking (Your Primary Focus)
The yellow price line is your most important guide:
Monitor Price Movement: Track how the yellow line interacts with the 3D terrain
Identify Key Levels: Watch for these critical interactions:
Order Blocks (Green/Red Zones):
When yellow price line enters green zones = Bullish order block
When yellow price line enters red zones = Bearish order block
These represent institutional accumulation/distribution areas
Liquidity Voids (Yellow Zones):
When yellow price line enters yellow void areas = Potential acceleration zones
Voids indicate price gaps where minimal trading occurred
Price often moves rapidly through voids toward next liquidity pool
Terrain Reading:
High Terrain Peaks: High volume/interest areas (support/resistance)
Low Terrain Valleys: Low volume areas (potential breakout zones)
Color Coding:
Green terrain = Bullish volume dominance
Red terrain = Bearish volume dominance
Purple = Neutral/transition areas
📈 Volume Profile Integration
POC (Point of Control): Automatically marks highest volume level
Volume Bins: Adjust granularity (10-50 bins)
Height Weight: Control how much volume affects terrain elevation
🏛️ Order Block Detection
Detection Length: 5-50 bar lookback for block identification
Strength Weighting: Recent blocks have greater impact on terrain
Candle Body Option: Use full candles or body-only for block definition
💧 Liquidity Zone Tracking
Multiple Levels: Track 3-10 key liquidity zones
Buy/Sell Side: Different colors for bid/ask liquidity
Strength Decay: Older zones have diminishing terrain impact
🌊 Liquidity Void Identification
Threshold Multiplier: Adjust sensitivity (0.5-2.0)
Height Amplification: Voids create significant terrain depressions
Acceleration Zones: Price typically moves quickly through void areas
Practical Trading Application
Bullish Scenario:
Yellow price line approaches green order block terrain
Price finds support in elevated bullish volume areas
Terrain shows consistent elevation through key levels
Bearish Scenario:
Yellow price line struggles at red order block resistance
Price falls through liquidity voids toward lower terrain
Bearish volume peaks dominate the landscape
Breakout Setup:
Yellow price line consolidates in flat terrain
Minimal resistance (low terrain) in projected direction
Clear path toward distant liquidity zones
Pro Tips
Start Simple: Begin with default settings, then gradually customize
Focus on Yellow Line: Your primary indicator of current price position
Combine Timeframes: Use the same terrain across multiple timeframes for confluence
Volume Confirmation: Ensure terrain peaks align with actual volume spikes
Void Anticipation: When price enters voids, prepare for potential rapid movement
Order Blocks & Voids Architecture
Order Blocks Calculation
Trigger: Price breaks fractal swing points
Bullish OB: When close > swing high → find lowest low in lookback period
Bearish OB: When close < swing low → find highest high in lookback period
Strength: Based on price distance from block extremes
Storage: Global array maintains last 50 blocks with FIFO management
Liquidity Voids Detection
Trigger: Price gaps exceeding ATR threshold
Bull Void: Low - high > (ATR200 × multiplier)

LibMvAvLibrary "LibMvAv"
This library provides a unified interface for calculating a
wide variety of moving averages. It is designed to simplify
indicator development by consolidating numerous MA calculations
into a single function and integrating the weighting
capabilities from the `LibWght` library.
Key Features:
1. **All-in-One MA Function:** The core of the library is the
`ma()` function. Users can select the desired calculation
method via the `MAType` enum, which helps create
cleaner and more maintainable code compared to using
many different `ta.*` or custom functions.
2. **Comprehensive Selection of MA Types:** It provides a
selection of 12 different moving averages, covering
common Pine Script built-ins and their weighted counterparts:
- **Standard MAs:** SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA (Wilder's), HMA (Hull), and
LSMA (Least Squares / Linear Regression).
- **Weighted MAs:** Weight-enhanced versions of the above
(WSMA, WEMA, WWMA, WRMA, WHMA, WLSMA).
3. **Integrated Weighting:** The library provides weighted versions
for each of its standard MA types (e.g., `wsma` alongside `sma`).
By acting as a dispatcher, the `ma()` function allows these
weighted calculations to be called using the optional
`weight` parameter, which are then processed by the `LibWght`
library.
4. **Simple API:** The library internally handles the logic of
choosing the correct function based on the selected `MAType`.
The user only needs to provide the source, length, and
optional weight, simplifying the development process.

DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower🐉 DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower
Description:
The DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower is a simple yet powerful trend-following strategy designed to capture directional moves based on exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers. It automatically detects trend changes and manages positions dynamically.
Core Logic:
The strategy uses two EMAs — a Fast EMA (default 12) and a Slow EMA (default 21) — to identify the market trend.
When the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a long position, signaling bullish momentum.
When the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a short position, signaling bearish momentum.
The color of the EMAs changes dynamically: green for uptrends, red for downtrends.
Exit rules:
Longs are closed when the EMAs turn red (trend reversal to bearish).
Shorts are closed when the EMAs turn green (trend reversal to bullish).
Position Sizing:
The system uses 10% of equity per trade by default, allowing flexible risk management and compounding.
Purpose:
Designed for traders who want a clean and efficient EMA crossover system to follow trends automatically on any timeframe or asset.
Best Used For:
Swing trading and trend confirmation
Identifying major directional shifts
Testing EMA-based momentum systems
Sector Relative StrengthThis indicator measures a stock's Real Relative Strength against its sector benchmark, helping you identify stocks that are outperforming or underperforming their sector peers.
The concept is based on the Real Relative Strength methodology popularized by the r/realdaytrading community.
Unlike traditional relative strength calculations that simply compare price ratios, this indicator uses a more sophisticated approach that accounts for volatility through ATR (Average True Range), providing a normalized view of true relative performance.
Key Features
Automatic Sector Detection
Automatically detects your stock's sector using TradingView's built-in sector classification
Maps to the appropriate SPDR Sector ETF (XLK, XLF, XLV, XLY, XLP, XLI, XLE, XLU, XLB, XLC)
Supports all 20 TradingView sectors
Sector ETF Mappings
The indicator automatically compares your stock against:
Technology: XLK (Technology Services, Electronic Technology)
Financials: XLF (Finance sector)
Healthcare: XLV (Health Technology, Health Services)
Consumer Discretionary: XLY (Retail Trade, Consumer Services, Consumer Durables)
Consumer Staples: XLP (Consumer Non-Durables)
Industrials: XLI (Producer Manufacturing, Industrial Services, Transportation, Commercial Services)
Energy: XLE (Energy Minerals)
Utilities: XLU
Materials: XLB (Non-Energy Minerals, Process Industries)
Communications: XLC
Default: SPY (for Miscellaneous or unclassified sectors)
Customizable Settings
Comparison Mode: Choose between automatic sector comparison or custom symbol
Length: Adjustable lookback period (default: 12)
Smoothing: Apply moving average to reduce noise (default: 3)
Visual Clarity
Green line: Stock is outperforming its sector
Red line: Stock is underperforming its sector
Zero baseline: Clear reference point for performance
Clean info box: Shows which ETF you're comparing against
How It Works
The indicator calculates relative strength using the following methodology:
Rolling Price Change: Measures the price movement over the specified length for both the stock and its sector ETF
ATR Normalization: Uses Average True Range to normalize for volatility differences
Power Index: Calculates the sector's strength relative to its volatility
Real Relative Strength: Compares the stock's performance against the sector's power index
Smoothing: Applies a moving average to reduce single-candle spikes
Formula:
Power Index = (Sector Price Change) / (Sector ATR)
RRS = (Stock Price Change - Power Index × Stock ATR) / Stock ATR
Smoothed RRS = SMA(RRS, Smoothing Length)
Ripster Clouds (EMA + MTF)v6🧠 Purpose
This indicator combines Ripster EMA Clouds and Multi-Timeframe (MTF) EMA Clouds into one script.
It allows you to visualize short vs long exponential (or simple) moving averages as colored “clouds” to identify trend direction and momentum — across both your current timeframe and a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
⚙️ Main Features
1. EMA Clouds (Local Timeframe)
Up to 5 separate EMA/SMA cloud sets (8/9, 5/12, 34/50, 72/89, 180/200 by default).
Each can be individually enabled/disabled in the settings.
MA type toggle → Choose between EMA and SMA.
Optional line display toggle for showing the short and long MA lines.
Color-coded trend clouds:
Greenish tones = bullish (short > long)
Reddish tones = bearish (short < long)
Configurable leading offset and global offset for alignment.
2. MTF Clouds (Higher Timeframe)
Two sets of higher timeframe EMA clouds (default: 50/55 and 20/21).
Uses request.security() to pull EMA data from a selected higher timeframe (default = Daily).
Optional line visibility toggle (Display Lines).
Blue and teal semi-transparent fills to distinguish from local clouds.
Each MTF cloud can be toggled independently.
3. Unified Controls
Master toggles:
✅ Show EMA Clouds

DTCC RECAPS Dates 2020-2025This is a simple indicator which marks the RECAPS dates of the DTCC, during the periods of 2020 to 2025.
These dates have marked clear settlement squeezes in the past, such as GME's squeeze of January 2021.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has published the 2025 schedule for its Reconfirmation and Re-pricing Service (RECAPS) through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC). RECAPS is a monthly process for comparing and re-pricing eligible equities, municipals, corporate bonds, and Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) that have aged two business days or more .
At its core, the Reconfirmation and Re-pricing Service (RECAPS) is a risk management tool used by the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), a subsidiary of the DTCC. Its primary purpose is to reduce the risks associated with aged, unsettled trades in the U.S. securities market .
When a trade is executed, it is sent to the NSCC for clearing and settlement. However, for various reasons, some trades may not settle on their scheduled date and become "aged." These unsettled trades create risk for both the trading parties and the clearinghouse (NSCC) because the value of the underlying securities can change over time. If a trade fails to settle and one of the parties defaults, the NSCC may have to step in to complete the transaction at the current market price, which could result in a loss.
RECAPS mitigates this risk by systematically re-pricing these aged, open trading obligations to the current market value. This process ensures that the financial obligations of the clearing members accurately reflect the present value of the securities, preventing the accumulation of significant, unmanaged market risk .
Detailed Mechanics: How Does it Work?
The RECAPS process revolves around two key dates you asked about: the RECAPS Date and the Settlement Date .
The RECAPS Date: On this day, the NSCC runs a process to identify all eligible trades that have remained unsettled for two business days or more. These "aged" trades are then re-priced to the current market value. This re-pricing is not just a simple recalculation; it generates new settlement instructions. The original, unsettled trade is effectively cancelled and replaced with a new one at the current market price. This is done through the NSCC's Obligation Warehouse.
The Settlement Date: This is typically the business day following the RECAPS date. On this date, the financial settlement of the re-priced trades occurs. The difference in value between the original trade price and the new, re-priced value is settled between the two trading parties. This "mark-to-market" adjustment is processed through the members' settlement accounts at the DTCC.
Essentially, the process ensures that any gains or losses due to price changes in the underlying security are realized and settled periodically, rather than being deferred until the trade is ultimately settled or cancelled.
Are These Dates Used to Check Margin Requirements?
Yes, indirectly, this process is closely tied to managing margin and collateral requirements for NSCC members. Here’s how:
The NSCC requires its members to post collateral to a clearing fund, which acts as a mutualized guarantee against defaults. The amount of collateral each member must provide is calculated based on their potential risk exposure to the clearinghouse.
By re-pricing aged trades to current market values through RECAPS, the NSCC gets a more accurate picture of each member's outstanding obligations and, therefore, their current risk profile. If a member has a large number of unsettled trades that have moved against them in value, the re-pricing will crystallize that loss, which will be settled the next day.
This regular re-pricing and settlement of aged trades prevent the build-up of large, unrealized losses that could increase a member's risk profile beyond what their posted collateral can cover. While RECAPS is not the only mechanism for calculating margin (the NSCC has a complex system for daily margin calls based on overall portfolio risk), it is a crucial component for managing the specific risk posed by aged, unsettled transactions. It ensures that the value of these obligations is kept current, which in turn helps ensure that collateral levels remain adequate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future dates of 2025:
- November 12, 2025 (Wed)
- November 25, 2025 (Tue)
- December 11, 2025 (Thu)
- December 29, 2025 (Mon)
The dates for 2026 haven't been published yet at this time.
The RECAPS process is essentially the industry's way of retrying the settlement of all unresolved FTDs, netting outstanding obligations, and gradually forcing resolution (either delivery or buy-in). Monitoring RECAPS cycles is one way to track the lifecycle, accumulation, and eventual resolution (or persistence) of failures to deliver in the U.S. market.
The US Stock market has become a game of settlement dates and FTDs, therefore this can be useful to track.
