[BT] NedDavis Series: CPI Minus 5-Year Moving Average🟧 GENERAL
The script works on the Monthly Timeframe and has 2 main settings (explained in FEATURES ). It uses the US CPI data, reported by the Bureau of Labour Statistics.
🔹Functionality 1: The main idea is to plot the distance between the CPI line and the 5 year moving average of the CPI line. This technique in mathematics is called "deviation from the moving average". This technique is used to analyse how has CPI previously acted and can give clues at what it might do in the future. Economic historians use such analysis, together with specific period analysis to predict potential risks in the future (see an example of such analysis in HOW TO USE section. The mathematical technique is a simple subtraction between 2 points (CPI - 5yr SMA of CPI).
▶︎Interpretation for deviation from a moving average:
Positive Deviation: When the line is above its moving average, it indicates that the current value is higher than the average, suggesting potential strength or bullish sentiment.
Negative Deviation: Conversely, when the line falls below its moving average, it suggests weakness or bearish sentiment as the current value is lower than the average.
▶︎Applications:
Trend Identification: Deviations from moving averages can help identify trends, with sustained deviations indicating strong trends.
Reversal Signals: Significant deviations from moving averages may signal potential trend reversals, especially when combined with other technical indicators.
Volatility Measurement: Monitoring the magnitude of deviations can provide insights into market volatility and price movements.
Remember the indicator is applying this only for the US CPI - not the ticker you apply the indicator on!
🔹Functionality 2: It plots on a new pane below information about the Consumer Price Index. You can also find the information by plotting the ticker symbol USACPIALLMINMEI on TradingView, which is a Monthly economic data by the OECD for the CPI in the US. The only addition you would get from the indicator is the plot of the 5 year Simple Moving Average.
🔹What is the US Consumer Price Index?
Measures the change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers;
Traders care about the CPI because consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate;
It is measured as the average price of various goods and services are sampled and then compared to the previous sampling.

FEATURES OF INDICATOR
1) The US Consumer Price Index Minus the Five Year Moving Average of the same.
As shown on the picture above and explained in previous section. Here a more detailed view.
2) The actual US Consumer Price Index (Annual Rate of change) and the Five year average of the US Consumer Price Index. Explained above and shown below:
To activate 2) go into settings and toggle the check box.
HOW TO USE
It can be used for a fundamental analysis on the relationship between the stock market, the economy and the Feds decisions to hike or cut rates, whose main mandate is to control inflation over time.
I have created this indicator to show my analysis in this idea:
What does a First Fed Rate cut really mean?
CREDITS
I have seen such idea in the past posted by the institutional grade research of NedDavis and have recreated it for the TradingView platform, open-source for the community.
Statistics
Order Block Refiner [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block according to your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in the "Order Block Refine". The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block.
For risk-averse traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable as it provides a lower loss limit and a greater reward-to-risk ratio. For risk-taking traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more appropriate. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices, and this mode, which has a wider order block width, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
Important :
One of the advantages of using this library is increased code accuracy. Not only does it have the capability to create order blocks, but you can also simply define the condition for order block creation (true/false) and "bar_index," and you'll find the primary range without applying any filters.
🟣 Order Block Refinement Algorithm
The order block ranges are filtered in two stages. In the first stage, the "Open," "High," "Low," and "Close" of the current order block candle, its two or three previous candles, and one subsequent candle (if available) are examined. In this stage, minimum and maximum distances are calculated, and logical range filters are applied.
In the second stage, two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," are calculated.
For the "Defensive" mode, the width of these ranges is compared with the "ATR" (Average True Range) of period 55, and if they are smaller than "ATR" or 1 to more than 4 times "ATR," the width of the range is reduced from 0 to 80 percent.
For the "Aggressive" mode, you get the same output as the first filter, which usually has a wider width than the "Defensive" mode.
• Order Block Refiner : Off
• Order Block Refiner : On / "Aggressive Mode"
• Order Block Refiner : On / "Defensive Mode"
🔵 How to Use
OBRefiner(string OBType, string OBRefine, string RefineMethod, bool TriggerCondition, int Index) =>
Parameters:
• OBType (string)

Stochastic Z-Score Oscillator Strategy [TradeDots]The "Stochastic Z-Score Oscillator Strategy" represents an enhanced approach to the original "Buy Sell Strategy With Z-Score" trading strategy. Our upgraded Stochastic model incorporates an additional Stochastic Oscillator layer on top of the Z-Score statistical metrics, which bolsters the affirmation of potential price reversals.
We also revised our exit strategy to when the Z-Score revert to a level of zero. This amendment gives a much smaller drawdown, resulting in a better win-rate compared to the original version.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The strategy operates by calculating the Z-Score of the closing price for each candlestick. This allows us to evaluate how significantly the current price deviates from its typical volatility level.
The strategy first takes the scope of a rolling window, adjusted to the user's preference. This window is used to compute both the standard deviation and mean value. With these values, the strategic model finalizes the Z-Score. This determination is accomplished by subtracting the mean from the closing price and dividing the resulting value by the standard deviation.
Following this, the Stochastic Oscillator is utilized to affirm the Z-Score overbought and oversold indicators. This indicator operates within a 0 to 100 range, so a base adjustment to match the Z-Score scale is required. Post Stochastic Oscillator calculation, we recalibrate the figure to lie within the -4 to 4 range.
Finally, we compute the average of both the Stochastic Oscillator and Z-Score, signaling overpriced or underpriced conditions when the set threshold of positive or negative is breached.
APPLICATION
Firstly, it is better to identify a stable trading pair for this technique, such as two stocks with considerable correlation. This is to ensure conformance with the statistical model's assumption of a normal Gaussian distribution model. The ideal performance is theoretically situated within a sideways market devoid of skewness.
Following pair selection, the user should refine the span of the rolling window. A broader window smoothens the mean, more accurately capturing long-term market trends, while potentially enhancing volatility. This refinement results in fewer, yet precise trading signals.
Finally, the user must settle on an optimal Z-Score threshold, which essentially dictates the timing for buy/sell actions when the Z-Score exceeds with thresholds. A positive threshold signifies the price veering away from its mean, triggering a sell signal. Conversely, a negative threshold denotes the price falling below its mean, illustrating an underpriced condition that prompts a buy signal.
Within a normal distribution, a Z-Score of 1 records about 68% of occurrences centered at the mean, while a Z-Score of 2 captures approximately 95% of occurrences.
The 'cool down period' is essentially the number of bars that await before the next signal generation. This feature is employed to dodge the occurrence of multiple signals in a short period.
DEFAULT SETUP
The following is the default setup on EURAUD 1h timeframe
Rolling Window: 80
Z-Score Threshold: 2.8
Signal Cool Down Period: 5
Stochastic Length: 14
Stochastic Smooth Period: 7
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 40%
FURTHER IMPLICATION
The Stochastic Oscillator imparts minimal impact on the current strategy. As such, it may be beneficial to adjust the weightings between the Z-Score and Stochastic Oscillator values or the scale of Stochastic Oscillator to test different performance outcomes.
Alternative momentum indicators such as Keltner Channels or RSI could also serve as robust confirmations of overbought and oversold signals when used for verification.

Pivot Profit Target [Mxwll]Introducing the Pivot Profit Target!
This script identifies recent pivot highs/lows and calculates the expected minimum distance for the next pivot, which acts as an approximate profit target.
The image above details the indicator's output.
The image above shows a table consisting of projection statistics.
How to use
The Pivot Profit Targets can be used to approximate a profit target for your trade.
Identify where your entry is relative to the most recent pivot, and assess whether the minimum expected distance for the most recent pivot has been exceeded. Treat the zones as an approximation.
If your trade aligns with the most recent pivot - treat the minimum expected distance zone as a potential profit target area. Of course, price might stop short or continue beyond the projection area!
That's it! Just a short and sweet script; thank you!
Kalman Filter Volume Bands by TenozenHello there! I am excited to introduce a new original indicator, the Kalman Filter Volume Bands. This indicator is calculated using the Kalman Filter, which is an adaptive-based smoothing quantitative tool. The Kalman Filter Volume Bands have two components that support the calculation, namely VWAP and VaR.
VWAP is used to determine the weight of the Kalman Filter Returns, but it doesn't have a significant impact on the calculation. On the other hand, VaR or Value at risk is calculated using the 99th percentile, which means that there is a 1% chance for the returns to exceed the 99th percentile level. After getting the VaR value, I manually adjust the bands based on the current market I'm trading on. I take the highest point (VaR*2) and the lowest point (-(VaR*2)) from the Kalman Filter, and then divide them into segments manually based on my preference.
This process results in 8 segments, where 2 segments near the Kalman Filter are further divided, making a total of 12 segments. These segments classify the current state of the price based on code-based coloring. The five states are very bullish, bullish, very bearish, bearish, and neutral.
I created this indicator to have an adaptive band that is not biased toward the volatility of the market. Most band-based indicators don't capture reversals that well, but the Kalman Filter Volume Bands can capture both trends and reversals. This makes it suitable for both trend-following and reversal trading approaches.
That's all for the explanation! Ciao!
Additional Reminder:
- Please use hourly timeframes or higher as lower timeframes are too noisy for reliable readings of this indicator.
Price alert multi symbols (Miu)This indicator won't plot anything to the chart.
Please follow steps below to set your alarms based on multiple symbols' prices:
1) Add indicator to the chart
2) Go to settings
3) Check symbols you want to receive alerts (choose up to 8 different symbols)
4) Set price for each symbol
5) Once all is set go back to the chart and click on 3 dots to set alert in this indicator, rename your alert and confirm
6) You can remove indicator after alert is set and it'll keep working as expected
What does this indicator do?
This indicator will generate alerts based on following conditions:
- If price set is met for any symbol
Once condition is met it will send an alert with the following information:
- Symbol name (e.g: BTC, ETH, LTC)
- Price reached
This script requests current price for each symbol through request.security() built-in function. It also requests amount of digits (mintick) for each symbol to send alerts with correct value.
This script was developed to attend a demand from a comment in other published script.
Feel free to give feedbacks on comments section below.
Enjoy!

Price Based Z-Trend - Strategy [presentTrading]█ Introduction and How it is Different
Z-score: a statistical measurement of a score's relationship to the mean in a group of scores.
Simple but effective approach.
The "Price Based Z-Trend - Strategy " leverages the Z-score, a statistical measure that gauges the deviation of a price from its moving average, normalized against its standard deviation. This strategy stands out due to its simplicity and effectiveness, particularly in markets where price movements often revert to a mean. Unlike more complex systems that might rely on a multitude of indicators, the Z-Trend strategy focuses on clear, statistically significant price movements, making it ideal for traders who prefer a streamlined, data-driven approach.
BTCUSD 6h LS Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Calculation of the Z-score
"Z-score is a statistical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values. Z-score is measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. If a Z-score is 0, it indicates that the data point's score is identical to the mean score. A Z-score of 1.0 would indicate a value that is one standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores may be positive or negative, with a positive value indicating the score is above the mean and a negative score indicating it is below the mean."
The Z-score is central to this strategy. It is calculated by taking the difference between the current price and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price over a user-defined length, then dividing this by the standard deviation of the price over the same length:
z = (x - μ) /σ
Local
🔶 Trading Signals
Trading signals are generated based on the Z-score crossing predefined thresholds:
- Long Entry: When the Z-score crosses above the positive threshold.
- Long Exit: When the Z-score falls below the negative threshold.
- Short Entry: When the Z-score falls below the negative threshold.
- Short Exit: When the Z-score rises above the positive threshold.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows users to select their preferred trading direction through an input option.
█ Usage
To use this strategy effectively, traders should first configure the Z-score thresholds according to their risk tolerance and market volatility. It's also crucial to adjust the length for the EMA and standard deviation calculations based on historical performance and the expected "noise" in price data.
The strategy is designed to be flexible, allowing traders to refine settings to better capture profitable opportunities in specific market conditions.
█ Default Settings
- Trade Direction: Both
- Standard Deviation Length: 100
- Average Length: 100
- Threshold for Z-score: 1.0
- Bar Color Indicator: Enabled
These settings offer a balanced starting point but can be customized to suit various trading styles and market environments. The strategy's parameters are designed to be adjusted as traders gain experience and refine their approach based on ongoing market analysis.
Z-score is a must-learn approach for every algorithmic trader.
1 Year Historical Trend AnalyzerHey everyone!
This is a new indicator of mine. If you know me, you know I really like Z-Score and there are a lot of cool things that can be done with Z-Score, especially as it pertains to trading!
This indicator uses Z-Score but in a different way from conventional Z-Score indicators (including mine). It uses Z-Score to plot out the current 1 year trend of a stock. Now, 1 year trend is not year to date (i.e. if we are in April, it is not just looking from January to April), but instead, its taking the last 1 trading year of candle data to plot out the trend, ranges and areas of z-score math based supports and resistances.
How it works:
The indicator will look at the current timeframe you are on, whether it be daily, 1 hour, 4 hours, weekly or even monthly. It will then look back the designated amount of candles that constitute 1 trading year. These are preprogrammed into the indicator so it knows to look back X number of Candles based on Y timeframe. This will give you a standard, scaled version of the past 1 year of trading data.
From there, the indicator will calculate the MAX Z-Score (or the highest Z-Score that the stock reached over the 1 trading year) and the MIN Z-score (or the lowest Z-Score that the stock reached over the 1 trading year). It plots these as a red and green line respectively:
It will then display the price that the MAX and MIN fall at. Keep in mind, the MAX and MIN price will change as the trading time elapses, but the Z-Score will remain the same until the stock does a lower or higher move from that z-score point.
It will then calculate the mean (average) of the Max and Min and then the mid points between the max and mean, and the min and mean. These all represent mathematical areas of support and resistance and key levels to watch when trading.
The indicator also has a table that is optional. The table can be toggled to either Auto or Manual. Auto will automatically calculate 5 Z-Score Points that are within the proximity of the annual trading range. However, you can select manual and input your own Z-Score values to see where the prices will fall based on the 1 year of data.
Some other options:
You can toggle on and off these midline support and resistance levels in the settings menu. Additionally, you can have the indicator plot actual scaled candles of the 1 year trading history. This is a great function to really see how the support and resistance works. Let’s take a look at RIVN, plotted as candles, on the 1 hour timeframe:
In this diagram, we can see two recent points in March where the Z-Score has acted as support for the stock. If we view this in conjunction with the actual ticker, you can see these were great buy points:
Do get this functionality, simply go into the plots menu in the settings menu and select “Plot as Candles”.
How to Use it:
While I have discussed some applications of the indicator, namely identify math supports and resistances, targets and such, there are some key things I really want to emphasize that this indicator excels at. I am going to group them for greater clarity:
All time Highs and All Time Lows:
AXP has recently been pushing ATHs. When a stock breaks an ATH or an ATL, it is said that there is no resistance or support. However, with Z-Score that is never true, there are always areas of math resistance and support. We can use this indicator to identify such areas. Let’s look at AXP:
Using this as a reference, we can see that AXP broke out of a Z-Score resistance level and re-tested the resistance as support. It held and continued up. We can see that the next area of math resistance is at 270:
And 234.65 is support. We would look for the ticker to hold this 234.65 line as support to continue the move up to the 270s.
Similar setup for ATLs with RIVN:
We can see that RIVN can indeed make a new ATL because support isn’t until 7.63.
Technical Tips on How to Use:
Because this indicator uses predefined lookback periods based on timeframes, its important that you are analyzing the data with pre-market turned off. The candles are calculated with the assumption that there is no pre-market data.
As well, the lowest timeframe that can be used to get 1 year worth of data is 1 hour. Anything below 1 hour will require you to manually input a lookback length (default is 252) which will be less than 1 year. This is simply because of the limitations of candle lookbacks through Pinescript.
That is not to say that this is not effective on smaller timeframes, it is! You just need to be sure that you understand you are not looking at a year trend worth of data. You can toggle your manual lookback parameters in the settings menu.
Concluding remarks
And that’s the indicator! I know the explanation is lengthy but I really suggest you read it carefully to understand how the indicator works and how you can best use it to analyze tickers and supplement your strategy.
Thanks for reading and safe trades as always!

Rise Sense Capital - RSI MACD Spot Buying IndicatorToday, I'll share a spot buying strategy shared by a member @KR陳 within the DATA Trader Alliance Alpha group. First, you need to prepare two indicators:
今天分享一個DATA交易者聯盟Alpha群組裏面的群友@KR陳分享的現貨買入策略。
首先需要準備兩個指標
RSI Indicator (Relative Strength Index) - RSI is a technical analysis tool based on price movements over a period of time to evaluate the speed and magnitude of price changes. RSI calculates the changes in price over a period to determine whether the recent trend is relatively strong (bullish) or weak (bearish).
RSI指標，(英文全名:Relative Strength Index)，中文稱為「相對強弱指標」，是一種以股價漲跌為基礎，在一段時間內的收盤價，用於評估價格變動的速度 (快慢) 與變化 (幅度) 的技術分析工具，RSI藉由計算一段期間內股價的漲跌變化，判斷最近的趨勢屬於偏強 (偏多) 還是偏弱 (偏空)。
MACD Indicator (Moving Average Convergence & Divergence) - MACD is a technical analysis tool proposed by Gerald Appel in the 1970s. It is commonly used in trading to determine trend reversals by analyzing the convergence and divergence of fast and slow lines.
MACD 指標 (Moving Average Convergence & Divergence) 中文名為平滑異同移動平均線指標，MACD 是在 1970 年代由美國人 Gerald Appel 所提出，是一項歷史悠久且經常在交易中被使用的技術分析工具，原理是利用快慢線的交錯，藉以判斷股價走勢的轉折。
In MACD analysis, the most commonly used values are 12, 26, and 9, known as MACD (12,26,9). The market often uses the MACD indicator to determine the future direction of assets and to identify entry and exit points.
在 MACD 的技術分析中，最常用的值為 12 天、26 天、9 天，也稱為 MACD (12,26,9)，市場常用 MACD 指標來判斷操作標的的後市走向，確定波段漲幅並找到進、出場點。
Strategy analysis by member KR陳:
策略解析 by群友 KR陳 ：
Condition 1: RSI value in the previous candle is below oversold zone(30).

稍微修改：
I've added the ATR-MACD, developed earlier, as a filter signal alongside the classic MACD. The appearance of an upward-facing triangle indicates that the ATR MACD histogram also triggers the condition, aiming to serve as a filtering mechanism.
我在經典的macd作爲條件的同時 也加入了之前開發的ATR-MACD作爲過濾信號 出現朝上的三角圖示代表ATR MACD的柱狀圖一樣觸發條件 希望可以以此起到過濾的作用
Asset/Usage Instructions:
使用標的/使用説明
Through backtesting, it's found that it's not suitable for smaller time frames as there's a lot of noise. It's recommended to use it in assets with a long-term bullish view, focusing on time frames of 12 hours or longer such as 12H, 16H, 1D, 1W to find spot buying opportunities.
經過回測發現 并不適用與一些小級別時區 噪音會非常多，建議在一些長期看漲的標的中切入12小時以上的時區如12H，16H, 1D, 1W 中間尋找現貨買入的機會。
A few thoughts:
Overall, it's a very good indicator strategy for spot buying in the physical market. Thanks to member @KR陳 for sharing!
一些小感言 綜合來看是一個針對現貨買入非常好的指標策略，感謝群友@KR陳的分享！

Crypto liquidation refers to the process of forcibly closing a trader's positions in the cryptocurrency market. It occurs when a trader's margin account can no longer support their open positions due to significant losses or a lack of sufficient margin to meet the maintenance requirements. Liquidations can be categorized as either a long liquidation or a short liquidation.
A long liquidation occurs when long positions are being liquidated, typically due to a sudden drop in the price of the asset being traded. Traders who were bullish on the asset and had opened long positions will face losses as the market moves against them.
On the other hand, a short liquidation occurs when short positions are being liquidated, often triggered by a sudden spike in the price of the asset. Traders who were bearish on the asset and had opened short positions will face losses as the market moves against them.
🔹Liquidation Data
It's worth noting that liquidation data is not readily available on TradingView. However, we recognize the close correlation between liquidation data, trading volumes, and asset price movements. Therefore, this script analyzes accessible data sources, extracts necessary information, and offers an educated estimation of liquidation data. It's important to emphasize that the presented data doesn't reflect precise quantitative values of liquidations. Traders and analysts should instead focus on observing changes over time and identifying correlations between liquidation data and price movements.

Symbol CorrelationThe "Symbol Correlation" indicator calculates and displays the correlation between the chosen symbol's price and another selected source over a specified period. It also includes a moving average (SMA) of this correlation to provide a smoothed view of the relationship.
Why SMA and Table Display ?
The inclusion of SMA (Simple Moving Average) with adjustable length (SMA Length) enhances the indicator's utility by smoothing out short-term fluctuations in correlation, allowing for clearer trend identification. The SMA helps to visualize the underlying trend in correlation, making it easier to spot changes and patterns over time.
The table display of the correlation SMA value offers a concise summary of this trend. By showcasing the current correlation SMA alongside its historical values, traders can quickly gauge the relationship's strength relative to previous periods.
Interpreting the Indicator:
1. Correlation Values: The primary plot shows the raw correlation values between the symbol's price and the specified source. A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, -1 signifies a perfect negative correlation, and 0 suggests no linear relationship.
2. Correlation SMA: The SMA line represents the average correlation over a defined period (SMA Length). Rising SMA values indicate strengthening correlation trends, while declining values suggest weakening correlations.
3. Choosing SMA Length: Traders can adjust the SMA Length parameter to tailor the moving average to their specific analysis horizon. Shorter SMA lengths react quickly to price changes but may be more volatile, while longer SMA lengths smooth out noise but respond slower to recent changes.
In summary, the "Symbol Correlation" indicator is a valuable tool for assessing the evolving relationship between a symbol's price and an external source. Its use of SMA and tabular presentation facilitates a nuanced understanding of correlation trends, aiding traders in making informed decisions based on market dynamics.
Tweet/X Post Timestamp - By LeviathanThis script allows you to generate visual timestamps of X/Twitter posts directly on your chart, highlighting the precise moment an X post/tweet was made. All you have to do is copy and paste the post URL.
◽️ Use Cases:
- News Trading: Traders can use this indicator to visually align market price actions with news or announcements made on X (formerly Twitter), aiding in the analysis of news impact on market volatility.
- Behavioral Analysis: Traders studying the influence of social media on price can use the timestamps to track correlations between specific posts and market reactions.
- Proof of Predictions: Traders can use this indicator to timestamp their market forecasts shared on X (formerly Twitter), providing a visual record of their predictions relative to actual market movements. This feature allows for transparent verification of the timing and accuracy of their analyses
◽️ Process of Timestamp Calculation
The calculation of the timestamp from a tweet ID involves the following steps:
Extracting the Post ID:
The script first parses the input URL provided by the user to extract the unique ID of the tweet or X post. This ID is embedded in the URL and is crucial for determining the exact posting time.
Calculating the Timestamp:
The post ID undergoes a mathematical transformation known as a right shift by 22 bits. This operation aligns the ID's timestamp to a base reference time used by the platform.
Adding Base Offset:
The result from the right shift is then added to a base offset timestamp (1288834974657 ms, the epoch used by Twitter/X). This converts the processed ID into a UNIX timestamp reflecting the exact moment the post was made.
Date-Time Conversion:
The UNIX timestamp is further broken down into conventional date and time components (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) using calculations that account for leap years and varying days per month.
Label Placement:
Based on user settings, labels displaying the timestamp, username, and other optional information such as price changes or pivot points are dynamically placed on the chart at the bar corresponding to the timestamp.
Bayesian Bias OscillatorWhat is a Bayes Estimator?
Bayesian estimation, or Bayesian inference, is a statistical method for estimating unknown parameters of a probability distribution based on observed data and prior knowledge about those parameters. At first , you will need a prior probability distribution, which is a prior belief about the distribution of the parameter that you are interested in estimating. This distribution represents your initial beliefs or knowledge about the parameter value before observing any data. Second , you need a likelihood function, which represents the probability of observing the data given different values of the parameter. This function quantifies how well different parameter values explain the observed data. Then , you will need a posterior probability distribution by combining the prior distribution and the likelihood function to obtain the posterior distribution of the parameter. The posterior distribution represents the updated belief about the parameter value after observing the data.
Bayesian Bias Oscillator
This tool calculates the Bayes bias of returns, which are directional probabilities that provide insight on the "trend" of the market or the directional bias of returns. It comes with two outputs: the default one, which is the Z-Score of the Bayes Bias, and the regular raw probability, which can be switched on in the settings of the indicator.
The Z-Score output value doesn't tell you the probability, but it does tell you how much of a standard deviation the value is from the mean. It uses both probabilities, the probability of a positive return and the probability of a negative return, which is just (1 - probability of a positive return).
The probability output value shows you the raw probability of a positive return vs. the probability of a negative return. The probability is the value of each line plotted (blue is the probability of a positive return, and purple is the probability of a negative return).

Momentum ProfileProfile market behavior in horizontal zones
Profile Sidebar
Buckets pointing rightward indicate upward security movement in the lookahead window at that level, and buckets pointing leftward indicate downward movement in the lookahead window.
Green profile buckets indicate the security's behavior following an uptrend in the lookbehind window. Conversely, Red profile buckets show security's behavior following a downtrend in the lookbehind window. Yellow profile buckets show behavior following sideways movement.
Buckets length corelates with the amount of movement measured in that direction at that level.
Inputs
Length determines how many bars back are considered for the calculation. On most securities, this can be increased to just above 4000 without issues.
Rows determines the number of buckets that the securities range is divided into.
You can increase or decrease the threshold for which moves are considered sideways with the sideways_filter input: higher means more moves are considered sideways.
The lookbehind input determines the lookbehind window. Specifically, how many bars back are considered when determining whether a data point is considered green (uptrend), red (downtrend), or yellow (no significant trend).
The lookahead input determines how many bars after the current bar are considered when determining the length and direction of each bucket (leftward for downward moves, rightward for upward moves).
Profile_width and Profile_spacing are cosmetic choices.
Intrabar support is not current supported.
Region Highlighting
Regions highlighted green saw an upward move in the lookahead window for both lookbehind downtrends and uptrends. In other words, both red and green profile buckets pointed rightward.
Regions highlighted red saw a downward move in the lookahead window both for lookbehind downtrends and uptrends.
Regions highlighted brown indicate a reversal region: uptrends were followed by downtrends, and vice versa. These regions often indicate a chop range or sometimes support/resistance levels. On the profile, this means that green buckets pointed left, and red buckets pointed right.
Regions highlighted purple indicate that whatever direction the security was moving, it continued that way. On the profile, this means that green buckets pointed right, and red buckets pointed left in that region.
sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I want to introduce my new indicator - sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread Analysis. For me, this script is helpfully in Technical Analysis mainly with Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. Maybe You are in circle of people who used my previous script - normalized Volume Price Spread Analysis. I work with him a lot of time, but I come to a conclusion that I can do better...
Theory concept...
What is a big volume? How big was this spread? It was extreme high or just high? How to do an answer for this and a lot other questions related to this subject? My thoughts was directed to statistics. In my first script I used to x/max normalized data. It was good, but susceptible for high deviation events. So, I choose standardization method with smaller sensitivity on violent events - z-Score standardization Description of z-Score formula:
Z = (x-mean)/standard deviation
Probability of event are descriptive by probability density function - The Normal Distribution.
en.wikipedia.org
en.Wikipedia.org
This is base of script methodology, let’s go deeper in indicator.
X axis is time, date. Y axis is standard deviation. Narrow bar represent price spread, wide one is volume. Colors are corresponding to deviation, blue < sigma, green > sigma, red > 2*sigma and fuchsia > 3*sigma. Appearance is full editable.
Data collection starts from left to right. There is two possibilities to use, constans number of bars or visible data range, also indicator permit to overscore linear regression from data. There is a possibility to set an alert.
Short introduction how put an interpretation on visualized data.
For this example I used constans value of data collection, 52 bars. So, from left I see great, fuchsia volume bar with low spread. This record respond Celsius withdrawals pause. This is bar with the biggest volume on presented chart, more than four sigmas. Spread value is near one sigma. I should consider this via one of Wyckoffs laws - effort vs result. I see a three bars in turn, they tenor tells me that bear market is possible near end. Accumulation structure near new year, spring test and bullish momentum bar near march are approval of this idea. Next high spread bars have volume near mean value. Effort is low but result is great. Interesting is last bar, with -2,8 deviation of volume. I see the lowest volume value on chart, so he’s deviation is strong to negative side. This script require a little of practise and can be a potent tool in Technical Analysis.
If You have a concept how to improve my script or You experience bug, please, send me feedback.
I hope that You consider my work as useful.
I wish You great trades and faultless analysis.

Gaussian Price Filter [BackQuant]Gaussian Price Filter
Overview and History of the Gaussian Transformation
The Gaussian transformation, often associated with the Gaussian (normal) distribution, is a mathematical function characteristically prominent in statistics and probability theory. The bell-shaped curve of the Gaussian function, expressing the normal distribution, is ubiquitously employed in various scientific and engineering disciplines, including financial market analysis. This transformation's core utility in trading and economic forecasting is derived from its efficacy in smoothing data series and highlighting underlying trends, which are pivotal for making strategic trading decisions.
The Gaussian filter, specifically, is a type of data-smoothing algorithm that mitigates the random "noise" of market price data, thus enhancing the visibility of crucial trend changes and patterns. Historically, this concept was adapted from fields such as signal processing and image editing, where precise extraction of useful information from noisy environments is critical.
1. What is a Gaussian Transformation?
A Gaussian transformation involves the application of a Gaussian function to a set of data points. The function is applied as a filter in the context of trading algorithms to smooth time series data, which helps in identifying the intrinsic trends obscured by market volatility. The transformation is characterized by its parameter, sigma (σ), representing the standard deviation, which determines the width of the Gaussian bell curve. The breadth of this curve impacts the degree of smoothing: a wider curve (higher sigma value) results in more smoothing, beneficial for longer-term trend analysis.
2. Filtering Price with Gaussian Transformation and its Benefits
In the provided Script, the Gaussian transformation is utilized to filter price data. The filtering process involves convolving the price data with Gaussian weights, which are calculated based on the chosen length (the number of data points considered) and sigma. This convolution process smooths out short-term fluctuations and highlights longer-term movements, facilitating a clearer analysis of market trends.
Benefits:
Reduces noise: It filters out minor price movements and random fluctuations, which are often misleading.
Enhances trend recognition: By smoothing the data, it becomes easier to identify significant trends and reversals.
Improves decision-making: Traders can make more informed decisions by focusing on substantive, smoothed data rather than reacting to random noise.
3. Potential Limitations and Issues
While Gaussian filters are highly effective in smoothing data, they are not without limitations:
Lag introduction: Like all moving averages, the Gaussian filter introduces a lag between the actual price movements and the output signal, which can delay decision-making.
Feature blurring: Over-smoothing might obscure significant price movements, especially if a large sigma is used.
Parameter sensitivity: The choice of length and sigma significantly affects the output, requiring optimization and backtesting to determine the best settings for specific market conditions.
4. Extending Gaussian Filters to Other Indicators
The methodology used to filter price data with a Gaussian filter can similarly be applied to other technical indicators, such as RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). By smoothing these indicators, traders can reduce false signals and enhance the reliability of the indicators' outputs, leading to potentially more accurate signals and better timing for entering or exiting trades.
5. Application in Trading
In trading, the Gaussian Price Filter can be strategically used to:
Spot trend reversals: Smoothed price data can more clearly indicate when a trend is starting to change, which is crucial for catching reversals early.
Define entry and exit points: The filtered data points can help in setting more precise entry and exit thresholds, minimizing the risk and maximizing the potential return.
Filter other data streams: Apply the Gaussian filter on volume or open interest data to identify significant changes in market dynamics.
6. Functionality of the Script
The script is designed to:
Calculate Gaussian weights (f_gaussianWeights function): Generates the weights used for the Gaussian kernel based on the provided length and sigma.
Apply the Gaussian filter (f_applyGaussianFilter function): Uses the weights to compute the smoothed price data.
Conditional Trend Detection and Coloring: Determines the trend direction based on the filtered price and colors the price bars on the chart to visually represent the trend.
7. Specific Actions of This Code
The Pine Script provided by BackQuant executes several specific actions:
Input Handling: It allows users to specify the source data (src), kernel length, and sigma directly in the chart settings.
Weight Calculation and Normalization: Computes the Gaussian weights and normalizes them to ensure their sum equals one, which maintains the original data scale.
Filter Application: Applies the normalized Gaussian kernel to the price data to produce a smoothed output.
Trend Identification and Visualization: Identifies whether the market is trending upwards or downwards based on the smoothed data and colors the bars green (up) or red (down) to indicate the trend direction.
US CPIIntroducing "US CPI" Indicator
The "US CPI" indicator, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the United States, is a valuable tool for analyzing inflation trends in the U.S. economy. This indicator is derived from official data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and is widely recognized as a key measure of inflationary pressures.
What is CPI?
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the average change in prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services over time. It is an essential economic indicator used to gauge inflationary trends and assess changes in the cost of living.
How is "US CPI" Calculated?
The "US CPI" indicator in this script retrieves CPI data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) using the FRED:CPIAUCSL symbol. It calculates the rate of change in CPI over a specified period (typically 12 months) and applies technical analysis tools like moving averages (SMA and EMA) for trend analysis and smoothing.
Why Use "US CPI" Indicator?
1. Inflation Analysis: Monitoring CPI trends provides insights into the rate of inflation, which is crucial for understanding the overall economic health and potential impact on monetary policy.
2. Policy Implications: Changes in CPI influence decisions by policymakers, central banks, and investors regarding interest rates, fiscal policies, and asset allocation.
3. Market Sentiment: CPI data often impacts market sentiment, influencing trading strategies across various asset classes including currencies, bonds, and equities.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Smoothing: The indicator allows users to apply exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing to CPI data for clearer trend identification.
2. Visual Representation: The plotted line visually represents the inflation rate based on CPI data, helping traders and analysts assess inflationary pressures at a glance.
Sources and Data Integrity:
The CPI data used in this indicator is sourced directly from FRED, ensuring reliability and accuracy. The script incorporates robust security protocols to handle data requests and maintain data integrity in a trading environment.
In conclusion, the "US CPI" indicator offers a comprehensive view of inflation dynamics in the U.S. economy, providing traders, economists, and policymakers with valuable insights for informed decision-making and risk management.
