[KF] Sector & Industry RemappingThis script remaps TradingView's sector and industry categories to standard classifications and displays them in the top-right corner of the chart making it easy to quickly identify a security's sector and industry. This tool is useful for traders and analysts who prefer standard industry classifications while using TradingView's charts.
Trade Tool VDWMA + OI RSI BasedThis indicator works only for symbols where open interest data is available.
The idea was to create a combination of Volume Delta, Open Interest, RSI, Moving Average and Support / Resistance as a unified tool.
I created a Weighted Moving Average based on the Volume Delta (VDWMA). The idea behind this was to reflect the moving average on the difference between buy and sell volume.
There are two VDWMA to determine a trend. Fast and Slow. The principle is the same as with conventional moving averages. For visualization, the candles are colored based on the following logic:
up trend = Fast VDWMA is above the Slow VDWMA and the price is above the Fast VWDWMA.
down Trend = Fast VDWMA is below the Slow VDWMA and the Short is below the Fast VDWMA
Further, support and resistance zones were defined based on the close and high prices as well as close and low prices.
A simple logic looks for divergences between RSI and price to generate first signals for possible price reversals.
Another RSI was created based on the open interest.
In combination with the conventional RSI, oversold and overbought zones were defined based on the following logic, which are marked by vertical zones on the chart.
Oversold zone = RSI is below 30 and OI RSI is above 70 or below 30 and OI opening is not greater than OI closing price
Overbought zone = RSI is above 70 and OI RSI is above 70 or below 30 and OI opening is not smaller than OI closing price
Based on this, buy and sell signals were defined.
First, the support or resistance zone must remain the same for two candles, which signals that the zone has not been breached. In addition, a divergence must occur in the RSI and the price must bounce.
newsell = resistance == resistance and high >= resistance and close < resistance and bearishDiv
newbull = support == support and low <= support and close > support and bullishDiv
The OI signaling was deliberately not included as well as the trend function. The tool should be suitable for scalping as well as for swinging. Thus, depending on the tradestyle itself to decide which points you want to trade.

Autocorrelation - The Quant ScienceAutocorrelation - The Quant Science it is an indicator developed to quickly calculate the autocorrelation of a historical series. The objective of this indicator is to plot the autocorrelation values and highlight market moments where the value is positive and exceeds the attention threshold.
This indicator can be used for manual analysis when a trader needs to search for new price patterns within the historical series or to create complex formulas in estimating future prices.
What is autocorrelation?
Autocorrelation in trading is a statistical measure used to determine the presence of a relationship or pattern of dependence between values in a financial time series over time. It represents the correlation of past values in a series with its future values. In other words, autocorrelation in trading aims to identify if there are systematic relationships between the past prices or returns of a security or market and its future prices or returns. This analysis can be helpful in identifying patterns or trends that can be leveraged for informed trading decisions. The presence of autocorrelation may suggest that market prices or returns follow a certain pattern or trend over time.
Limitations of the model
It is important to note that autocorrelation does not necessarily imply a causal relationship between past and future values. Other variables or market factors may influence the dynamics of prices or returns, and therefore autocorrelation could be merely a random coincidence. Therefore, it is essential to carefully evaluate the results of autocorrelation analysis along with other information and trading strategies to make informed decisions.
How to use
The usage is very simple, you just need to add it to the current chart to activate the indicator.
From the user interface, you can manage two important features:
1. Lenght: the delay period applied to the historical series during the autocorrelation calculation can be managed from the user interface. By default, it is set to 20, which means that the autocorrelation ratio within the historical series is calculated with a delay of 20 bars.
2. Threshold: the threshold value that the autocorrelation level must meet can be managed from the user interface. By default, it is set to 0.50, which means that the autocorrelation value must be higher than this threshold to be considered valid and displayed on the chart.
3. Bar color: the color used to display the autocorrelation data and highlight the bars when autocorrelation is valid can be managed from the user interface.
To set up the chart
We recommend disabling the 'wick' and 'border' of the candlesticks from the chart settings for a high-quality user experience.
No Code SignalsNo Code Signals is an intuitive user interface for users to generate their own signals based on indicators they already have applied to their chart.
This indicator makes use of the new input.source() limits for importing data from external sources (indicators) into 1 indicator.
You are now able to import ANY number of sources from up to 10 different indicators.
Features:
- Import up to 10 unique values from up to 10 different indicators already on your chart!
- Compare those values against other imported indicator values, or chart ohlc values.
- Option to use a defined level instead of an active source.
- 5 Signal Options (Currently)
- Alerts, Each signal has its own alert condition.
- Labeled Signals, to tell which signal is which.
Potential Future Plans:
- More Signals & Analysis Options
- Possibly more imports
- Combining 2 (or more) signals into 1
Here is a Screenshot of a chart with signals, and the Interface creating the signals.

Candle LevelsCandle Levels
Allows chart levels to be plotted automatically, simply add tool to chart and the interactive mode will prompt for candle selection, timeframe anchor and some label choices such as displaying time, price or disabling labels altogether.
Also a note can be supplied that will be shown in the labels if they're displayed, if not it'll be up in the indicator values if those are enabled. Colors and individual labels can be customized, encourage saving over defaults for repeated usage.
Levels calculated:
Standard OHLC
Close to open mid point
High to low mid point
High wick mid point (either between close or open, whichever is higher)
Low wick mid point (either between close or open, whichever is lower)
I have plans to better detected levels and labels overlap to perhaps do something with that, for now manually toggling display of label should suffice.
I've tested with various markets such as futures, standard stock markets and also various higher and lower timeframes, if something is found to not be working please let me know.
Enjoy!

Monthly Returns in PineScript StrategiesI'm not 100% satisfied with the strategy performance output I receive from TradingView. Quite often I want to see something that is not available by default. I usually export raw trades/metrics from TradingView and then do additional analysis manually.
But with tables, you can build additional metrics and tools for your strategies quite easily.
This script will just show a table with monthly/yearly performance of your script. Quite a lot of traders/investors used to look at returns like that. Also, it might help you to identify periods of time when your strategy performed good/bad than expected and try to analyze that better.
The script is very simple and I believe you can easily apply it to your own strategies.
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting.
This post and the script don’t provide any financial advice.
Vertical line by bar_indexThis indicator helps in letting the trader focus on a particular date/candle across many symbols.
Tradingview currently has a bug in Bar Replay - when we switch symbols, the bar replay resets.
Hence if you are backtesting & running through a bunch of symbols, it is nearly impossible to focus on a particular historical candle across all symbols.
This indicator plots a vertical line on a given bar_index which remains as it is while you are switching symbols.
Feel free to copy, modify and use as you like!
Rule Number 1 SignalsThis script takes the Rule #1 3 tools and plots them on the graph, to provide an additional level of indication for when to sell and when to buy.
cooltoyz: shadow candlesAnother tool for the cooltoyz series :)
tired of having to look at multiple time frames for a ticker, and having to mentally mix them to try to guess/visualize trends, or support/resistance levels? so was i, and with this tool i let the chart do the heavy lifting :)
with this, upper time frames are visualized as shadows imposed on the chart itself. there are two levels:
level 1 - represented with strong green/red for candle body, and a thin line for the candle wicks
level 2 - light green/red for the candle body, lighter still for the wicks
it was the best visually appealing representation i could come with, if you find a better one share it in comments, please :)
basically works the same as the previous tool, the ghost candle, but with two levels of time frames superimposed. the same notes and warnings from the ghost candle apply, so go read them, too lazy for a copypasta :)
you can find the ghost candle here:
cooltoyz: Volume Delta RealTime v1.0This is a tool, shows the volume variation % strength related to the X past candles.
The current candle is shown in real time, until candle closes.
The visualization of the candle time to close is a thin line, that is 100% for all past candles and slowly goes up for the current candle.
Best with an example:
with a 4h candle, 1 hour has wasted already. This is 25% of all the candle time. So, if volume is also at 25% of the last candles traded, we can expect(yeah, you wish) that by candle close, around 100% of the last volumes average will be traded.
Or two:
in a 4h candle, we're at 10mins., around 8% of total candle time. If volume traded is already at 57% of average past volumes, something big is going on.
Note 1: in the indicator's "Format" pop-up there is a "candle minutes" field, it MUST match the chart timeframe in minutes (ex: 4h=240min)
Note 2: the back volume function check can be switched between the methods "highest value" or "average", in the Format->inputs
Note 3: when a new candle opens, it will go craaayeeezeee!!, because the extreme small values introduce a lot of rounding errors. just let it go, it calms it self after ~0.5% of candle time has passed.
There are more examples and details in the early version of this indicator, check my published scripts.
cooltoyz: ghost candleThis is a tool. Do with it what you like :)
The ghost candle works by drawing a bigger time frame candles in ghost mode over a chart. The time frame is default of 4h, can be changed in the "format" pop-up.
What we see in a time frame as the "wick", is really a set of candles when looked at lower resolutions/timeframes, that info is crunched into the OHLC format. But, when we look at a represntation of the "internals" of a candle, the wicks are not just a single candle that "walked out of the reservation".
So, in this ghost mode, a wick makes no sense visually. In this case, the OHLC is represented as a darker area for the main candle body, and lighter zones for the wicks. Just another way to sing the same song...
Note 1: the ghost candles are skewed, due to the way that TV plots a line. It's most visible when a chart is very zoomed.
Note 2:As result of the TV real time engine, the last candle presents sometimes mixed colors. There's no easy way to fix it, so until the candle closes, if you see weird colors, well, that's life :)

For showing a 2nd resolution on one chart; Not much more to say about that :)
MACDouble + RSI (rec. 15min-2hr intrv) Uses two sets of MACD plus an RSI to either long or short. All three indicators trigger buy/sell as one (ie it's not 'IF MACD1 OR MACD2 OR RSI > 1 = buy", its more like "IF 1 AND 2 AND RSI=buy", all 3 match required for trigger)
The MACD inputs should be tweaked depending on timeframe and what you are trading. If you are doing 1, 3, 5 min or real frequent trading then 21/44/20 and 32/66/29 or other high value MACDs should be considered. If you are doing longer intervals like 2, 3, 4hr then consider 9/19/9 and 21/44/20 for MACDs (experiment! I picked these example #s randomly).
Ideal usage for the MACD sets is to have MACD2 inputs at around 1.5x, 2x, or 3x MACD1's inputs.
Other settings to consider: try having fastlength1=macdlength1 and then (fastlength2 = macdlength2 - 2). Like 10/26/10 and 23/48/20. This seems to increase net profit since it is more likely to trigger before major price moves, but may decrease profitable trade %. Conversely, consider FL1=MCDL1 and FL2 = MCDL2 + (FL2 * 0.5). Example: 10/26/10 and 22/48/30 this can increase profitable trade %, though may cost some net profit.
