Fibonacci Extensions and Retracements for Selected TimeframesPurpose of the Script
This script plots Fibonacci levels (retracements and extensions) based on the high and low points of the previous day, previous week, or previous month. It is a trading aid to help identify potential support and resistance zones. These zones are often used by traders to determine entry or exit points for trades.
How It Works
Select Timeframe
The trader can choose whether to calculate Fibonacci levels based on the high and low points of the previous day, previous week, or previous month.
This is selected using the timeframe_input input.
Examples:
"D" for the previous day
"W" for the previous week
"M" for the previous month
Calculate Price Range
The script calculates the price range using the high and low of the selected timeframe:
Formula: price_range = High - Low
Draw Fibonacci Levels
Retracements: Within the price range, Fibonacci levels such as 12%, 23%, 38%, 50%, 61%, 78%, and 88% are calculated. These help identify potential support or resistance zones.
Extensions: Beyond the price range, Fibonacci extensions such as 127%, 161%, 200%, 224%, and 241% are plotted to indicate potential breakout targets.
Visualization
The script plots lines and labels for each level.
These lines extend to the right, providing real-time guidance during trading.
Colors and line styles can be customized to match personal preferences.
How to Use as a Trading Aid
Use Fibonacci Retracements:
Use retracements (e.g., 38%, 50%, 61%) to identify potential support or resistance zones.
Example: If the price dropped sharply the previous day, the retracement levels could act as support during a rebound.
Use Fibonacci Extensions:
Extensions help identify price targets when the price breaks above or below the high or low of the previous day, week, or month.
Example: After a breakout above the previous week’s high, the 127% or 161% level could serve as a target.
Adjust Timeframe:
Choose the timeframe that suits your strategy:
Intraday traders can use the previous day’s high and low.
Swing traders might prefer the previous week.
Long-term traders could work with the previous month.
Example
A trader selects the weekly timeframe (W) to analyze the high and low of the previous week:
The script calculates the price range based on the high and low of the previous week.
Fibonacci retracements (e.g., 50% and 61%) are drawn to identify potential support zones.
Fibonacci extensions (e.g., 127% and 161%) help define price targets for a potential breakout above or below the range.

Candle-Based Negative Space (Improved)This script visualizes the concept of negative space (when a candle closes below a defined baseline) and positive space (when a candle closes above the baseline) on a price chart. It uses user-defined inputs to configure the baseline and optionally includes a moving average for additional trend analysis. Below is a detailed explanation of the script and suggestions for improving its plotting.
Explanation of the Script
Purpose
The script helps traders visualize the relationship between price movements and a dynamically chosen baseline. The baseline can be based on:
The high/low of the previous candle.
The open/close of the current candle.
The "negative space" is calculated when the closing price is below the baseline, and the "positive space" is calculated when the closing price is above the baseline. The sum of these spaces over a period is plotted as a histogram to provide insights into market strength.
Swing-Based VWAPSwing-Based VWAP
Summary:
The "Swing-Based VWAP" indicator enhances traditional VWAP calculations by incorporating swing-based logic. It dynamically adapts to market conditions by identifying key swing highs and lows and calculating VWAP levels around these pivot points. This makes it a versatile tool for traders seeking actionable price insights.
Explanation:
What is Swing-Based VWAP?
The Swing-Based VWAP is a modified version of the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). It calculates VWAP not only for a chosen timeframe (e.g., session, week) but also adapts dynamically to market swings. By identifying swing highs and lows, it offers more precise levels for potential price action.
Unique Features:
1. Dynamic Swing Integration:
- Uses pivot points to determine significant price levels.
- Calculates VWAP based on these points to adapt to market trends.
2. User-Friendly Settings:
- Includes options to hide VWAP on higher timeframes for chart clarity.
- Flexible swing size input for adjusting sensitivity.
How to Use:
1. Configuring Swing Settings:
- Use the "Swing Setting" input to determine the sensitivity of swing detection.
- Higher values identify broader swings, while smaller values capture more granular movements.
2. Enabling/Disabling VWAP:
- Toggle VWAP visibility using the "Use VWAP" option.
- The "Hide VWAP on 1D or Above" setting lets you control visibility on higher timeframes.
3. Anchor Period:
- Select your preferred anchoring period (e.g., session, week) to match your trading style.
4. Adjusting the Data Source:
- Use the "Source" input to select the price source (default: HLC3).
5. Visualizing Swing-Based VWAP:
- The script plots a dynamic VWAP line based on detected swing points.
- This line highlights average price levels weighted by volume and swing pivots.

EMA Squeeze RythmHere's a description of this indicator and its purpose:
This indicator is based on the concept of price consolidation and volatility contraction using multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It primarily looks for "squeeze" conditions where the EMAs converge, indicating potential market consolidation and subsequent breakout opportunities.
Key Features:
1. Uses 8 EMAs (20-55 period) to measure price compression
2. Measures the distance between fastest (20) and slowest (55) EMAs in ATR units
3. Identifies four distinct states:
- PRE-SQZE: Initial convergence of EMAs
- SQZE: Tighter convergence
- EXT-SQZE: Extreme convergence (highest probability of breakout)
- RELEASE: EMAs begin to expand (potential breakout in progress)
Best Used For:
- Identifying potential breakout setups
- Finding periods of low volatility before explosive moves
- Confirming trend strength using higher timeframe analysis
- Trading mean reversion strategies during squeeze states
- Catching momentum moves during release states
The indicator works well on any timeframe but is particularly effective on 15M to 4H charts for most liquid markets. It includes higher timeframe analysis to help confirm the broader market context.
Asset Indexed by Future Interest
Este script em Pine Script calcula e exibe o índice de um ativo em relação à taxa de juros futuros (DI1) em um painel inferior. Ele obtém o preço de fechamento do ativo e a taxa de juros futuros DI1!, e em seguida, calcula o índice do ativo dividindo o preço do ativo pela taxa de juros futuros. Para evitar a divisão por zero, o script realiza uma validação para garantir que o valor da taxa de juros não seja nulo ou zero. O índice calculado é então plotado no painel inferior, em uma linha verde, permitindo que os usuários visualizem a relação entre o preço do ativo e os juros futuros de curto prazo. Esse índice pode ser útil para analisar como a taxa de juros influencia o comportamento do ativo.
This script in Pine Script calculates and displays the ratio of an asset to the future interest rate (DI1) in a lower panel. It obtains the asset's closing price and the future interest rate DI1!, and then calculates the asset index by dividing the asset price by the future interest rate. To avoid division by zero, the script performs validation to ensure that the interest rate value is not null or zero. The calculated index is then plotted in the bottom panel, in a green line, allowing users to visualize the relationship between the asset's price and short-term future interest. This index can be useful for analyzing how the interest rate influences the asset's behavior.
Adjust Asset for Future Interest (Brazil)Este script foi criado para ajustar o preço de um ativo com base na taxa de juros DI11!, que reflete a expectativa do mercado para os juros futuros. O objetivo é mostrar como o valor do ativo seria influenciado se fosse diretamente ajustado pela variação dessa taxa de juros.
Como funciona?
Preço do Ativo
O script começa capturando o preço de fechamento do ativo que está sendo visualizado no gráfico. Esse é o ponto de partida para o cálculo.
Taxa de Juros DI11!
Em seguida, ele busca os valores diários da taxa DI11! no mercado. Esta taxa é uma referência de juros de curto prazo, usada para ajustes financeiros e projeções econômicas.
Fator de Ajuste
Com a taxa de juros DI11!, o script calcula um fator de ajuste simples:
Fator de Ajuste
=
1
+
DI11
100
Fator de Ajuste=1+
100
DI11
Esse fator traduz a taxa percentual em um multiplicador aplicado ao preço do ativo.
Cálculo do Ativo Ajustado
Multiplica o preço do ativo pelo fator de ajuste para obter o valor ajustado do ativo. Este cálculo mostra como o preço seria se fosse diretamente influenciado pela variação da taxa DI11!.
Exibição no Gráfico
O script plota o preço ajustado do ativo como uma linha azul no gráfico, com maior espessura para facilitar a visualização. O resultado é uma curva que reflete o impacto teórico da taxa de juros DI11! sobre o ativo.
Utilidade
Este indicador é útil para entender como as taxas de juros podem influenciar ativos financeiros de forma hipotética. Ele é especialmente interessante para analistas que desejam avaliar a relação entre o mercado de renda variável e as condições de juros no curto prazo.
This script was created to adjust the price of an asset based on the DI11! interest rate, which reflects the market's expectation for future interest rates. The goal is to show how the asset's value would be influenced if it were directly adjusted by the variation of this interest rate.
How does it work?
Asset Price
The script starts by capturing the closing price of the asset that is being viewed on the chart. This is the starting point for the calculation.
DI11! Interest Rate
The script then searches for the daily values of the DI11! rate in the market. This rate is a short-term interest reference, used for financial adjustments and economic projections.
Adjustment Factor
With the DI11! interest rate, the script calculates a simple adjustment factor:
Adjustment Factor
=
1
+
DI11
100
Adjustment Factor=1+
100
DI11
This factor translates the percentage rate into a multiplier applied to the asset's price.
Adjusted Asset Calculation
Multiplies the asset price by the adjustment factor to obtain the adjusted asset value. This calculation shows how the price would be if it were directly influenced by the variation of the DI11! rate.
Display on the Chart
The script plots the adjusted asset price as a blue line on the chart, with greater thickness for easier visualization. The result is a curve that reflects the theoretical impact of the DI11! interest rate on the asset.
Usefulness
This indicator is useful for understanding how interest rates can hypothetically influence financial assets. It is especially interesting for analysts who want to assess the relationship between the equity market and short-term interest rate conditions.
PROWIN STUDY ALTCOIN INDEXPROWIN STUDY ALTCOIN INDEX
This indicator tracks the performance of key altcoin dominance indices (BTC.D, ETH.D, USDT.D, USDC.D, and DAI.D) by analyzing their closing prices. It calculates an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to highlight the overall trend of the altcoin market. Key horizontal levels representing support (limit up), resistance (limit down), and a central line are drawn to help identify potential price action zones. This indicator is designed for analysis on the others.d asset in a daily timeframe, providing insights into market movements and altcoin dominance shifts.
Percent Movement HighlighterThe Percent Movement Highlighter is a custom TradingView indicator that visually highlights candles based on their percentage movement relative to the previous day's close. The indicator uses two user-defined thresholds:
Positive Threshold: Marks candles that move up by a specified percentage or more.
Negative Threshold: Marks candles that move down by a specified percentage or more.
Features:
Visual Highlights:
Green candles for upward moves exceeding the positive threshold.
Red candles for downward moves exceeding the negative threshold.
Dynamic Counters:
Displays a summary label that counts the number of positive, negative, and neutral candles dynamically as the chart progresses.
User Inputs:
Customizable positive and negative percentage thresholds to suit different trading strategies.
This tool is useful for traders seeking to identify significant price movements and analyze market volatility efficiently.
Pivot Highs/Lows with Bar CountsWhat does the indicator do?
This indicator adds labels to a chart at swing (a.k.a., "pivot") highs and lows. Each label may contain a date, the closing price at the swing, the number of bars since the last swing in the same direction, and the number of bars from the last swing in the opposite direction. A table is also added to the chart that shows the average, min, and max number of bars between swings.
OK, but how do I use it?
Many markets -- especially sideways-moving ones -- commonly cycle between swing highs and lows at regular time intervals. By measuring the number of bars between highs and lows -- both same-sided swings (i.e., H-H and L-L) and opposite-sided swings (i.e., H-L and L-H) -- you can then project the averages of those bar counts from the last high or low swing to make predictions about where the next swing high or low should occur. Note that this indicator does not make the projection for you. You have to determine which swing you want to project from and then use the bar counts from the indicator to draw a line, place a label, etc.
Example: Chart of BTC/USD
The indicator shows pivot highs and lows with bar counts, and it displays a table of stats on those pivots.
If you focus on the center section of the chart, you can see that prices were moving in a sideways channel with very regular highs and lows. This indicator counts the bars between these pivots, and you could have used those counts to predict when the next high or low may have occurred.
The bar counts do not work as well on the more recent section of the chart because there are no regularly time swings.
TASC 2025.01 Linear Predictive Filters█ OVERVIEW
This script implements a suite of tools for identifying and utilizing dominant cycles in time series data, as introduced by John Ehlers in the "Linear Predictive Filters And Instantaneous Frequency" article featured in the January 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . Dominant cycle information can help traders adapt their indicators and strategies to changing market conditions.
█ CONCEPTS
Conventional technical indicators and strategies often rely on static, unchanging parameters, which may fail to account for the dynamic nature of market data. In his article, John Ehlers applies digital signal processing principles to address this issue, introducing linear predictive filters to identify cyclic information for adapting indicators and strategies to evolving market conditions.
This approach treats market data as a complex series in the time domain. Analyzing the series in the frequency domain reveals information about its cyclic components. To reduce the impact of frequencies outside a range of interest and focus on a specific range of cycles, Ehlers applies second-order highpass and lowpass filters to the price data, which attenuate or remove wavelengths outside the desired range. This band-limited analysis isolates specific parts of the frequency spectrum for various trading styles, e.g., longer wavelengths for position trading or shorter wavelengths for swing trading.
After filtering the series to produce band-limited data, Ehlers applies a linear predictive filter to predict future values a few bars ahead. The filter, calculated based on the techniques proposed by Lloyd Griffiths, adaptively minimizes the error between the latest data point and prediction, successively adjusting its coefficients to align with the band-limited series. The filter's coefficients can then be applied to generate an adaptive estimate of the band-limited data's structure in the frequency domain and identify the dominant cycle.
█ USAGE
This script implements the following tools presented in the article:
Griffiths Predictor
This tool calculates a linear predictive filter to forecast future data points in band-limited price data. The crosses between the prediction and signal lines can provide potential trade signals.
Griffiths Spectrum
This tool calculates a partial frequency spectrum of the band-limited price data derived from the linear predictive filter's coefficients, displaying a color-coded representation of the frequency information in the pane.
Griffiths Dominant Cycle
This tool compares the cyclic components within the partial spectrum and identifies the frequency with the highest power, i.e., the dominant cycle . Traders can use this dominant cycle information to tune other indicators and strategies, which may help promote better alignment with dynamic market conditions.
Notes on parameters
Bandpass boundaries:
In the article, Ehlers recommends an upper bound of 125 bars or higher to capture longer-term cycles for position trading. He recommends an upper bound of 40 bars and a lower bound of 18 bars for swing trading. If traders use smaller lower bounds, Ehlers advises a minimum of eight bars to minimize the potential effects of aliasing.
Data length:
The Griffiths predictor can use a relatively small data length, as autocorrelation diminishes rapidly with lag. However, for optimal spectrum and dominant cycle calculations, the length must match or exceed the upper bound of the bandpass filter. Ehlers recommends avoiding excessively long lengths to maintain responsiveness to shorter-term cycles.

The visual appearance of the levels (style, color, width).
The number of levels and their spacing.
Whether labels are displayed and their style.
Volume-MACD-RSI Integrated StrategyDescription:
This script integrates three well-known technical analysis tools—Volume, MACD, and RSI—into a single signal meant to help traders identify potential turning points under strong market conditions.
Concept Overview:
Volume Filter: We compare the current bar’s volume to a 20-period volume average and require it to exceed a specified multiplier. This ensures that signals occur only during periods of heightened market participation. The logic is that moves on low volume are less reliable, so we wait for increased activity to confirm potential trend changes.
MACD Momentum Shift:
We incorporate MACD crossovers to determine when momentum is changing direction. MACD is a popular momentum indicator that identifies shifts in trend by comparing short-term and long-term EMAs. A bullish crossover (MACD line crossing above the signal line) may suggest upward momentum is building, while a bearish crossunder can indicate momentum turning downward.
RSI Market Condition Check:
RSI helps us identify overbought or oversold conditions. By requiring that RSI be oversold on buy signals and overbought on sell signals, we attempt to pinpoint entries where price could be at an extreme. The idea is to position entries or exits at junctures where price may be due for a reversal.
How the Script Works Together:
Volume Confirmation: No signals fire unless there’s strong volume. This reduces false positives.
MACD Momentum Check: Once volume confirms market interest, MACD crossover events serve as a trigger to initiate consideration of a trade signal.
RSI Condition: Finally, RSI determines whether the market is at an extreme. This final layer helps ensure we only act on signals that have both momentum shift and a price at an extreme level, potentially increasing the reliability of signals.
Intended Use:
This script can help highlight potential reversal points or trend shifts during active market periods.
Traders can use these signals as a starting point for deeper analysis. For instance, a “BUY” arrow may prompt a trader to investigate the market context, confirm with other methods, or look for patterns that further support a long entry.
The script is best used on markets with reliable volume data, such as stocks or futures, and can be experimented with across different timeframes. Adjusting the RSI thresholds, MACD parameters, and volume multiplier can help tailor it to specific instruments or trading styles.
Chart Setup:
When adding this script to your chart, it should be the only indicator present, so you can clearly see the red “BUY” arrows and green “SELL” arrows at the candle closes where signals occur.
The chart should be kept clean and uncluttered for clarity. No other indicators are necessary since the logic is already integrated into this single script.
4-Year Cycles [jpkxyz]Overview of the Script
I wanted to write a script that encompasses the wide-spread macro fund manager investment thesis: "Crypto is simply and expression of macro." A thesis pioneered by the likes of Raoul Pal (EXPAAM) , Andreesen Horowitz (A16Z) , Joe McCann (ASYMETRIC) , Bob Loukas and many more.
Cycle Theory Background:
The 2007-2008 financial crisis transformed central bank monetary policy by introducing:
- Quantitative Easing (QE): Creating money to buy assets and inject liquidity
- Coordinated global monetary interventions
Proactive 4-year economic cycles characterised by:
- Expansionary periods (low rates, money creation)
- Followed by contraction/normalisation
Central banks now deliberately manipulate liquidity, interest rates, and asset prices to control economic cycles, using monetary policy as a precision tool rather than a blunt instrument.
Cycle Characteristics (based on historical cycles):
- A cycle has 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Each season with a cycle lasts 365 days
- The Cycle Low happens towards the beginning of the Spring Season of each new cycle
- This is followed by a run up throughout the Spring and Summer Season
- The Cycle High happens towards the end of the Fall Season
- The Winter season is characterised by price corrections until establishing a new floor in the Spring of the next cycle
Key Functionalities
1. Cycle Tracking
- Divides market history into 4-year cycles (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Starts tracking cycles from 2011 (first cycle after the 2007 crisis cycle)
- Identifies and marks cycle boundaries
2. Visualization
- Colors background based on current cycle season
- Draws lines connecting:
- Cycle highs and lows
- Inter-cycle price movements
- Adds labels showing:
- Percentage gains/losses between cycles
- Number of days between significant points
3. Customization Options
- Allows users to customize:
- Colors for each season
- Line and label colors
- Label size
- Background opacity
Detailed Mechanism
Cycle Identification
- Uses a modulo calculation to determine the current season in the 4-year cycle
- Preset boundary years include 2015, 2019, 2023, 2027
- Automatically tracks and marks cycle transitions
Price Analysis
- Tracks highest and lowest prices within each cycle
- Calculates percentage changes:
- Intra-cycle (low to high)
- Inter-cycle (previous high to current high/low)
Visualization Techniques
- Background color changes based on current cycle season
- Dashed and solid lines connect significant price points
- Labels provide quantitative insights about price movements
Unique Aspects
1. Predictive Cycle Framework: Provides a structured way to view market movements beyond traditional technical analysis
2. Seasonal Color Coding: Intuitive visual representation of market cycle stages
3. Comprehensive Price Tracking: Captures both intra-cycle and inter-cycle price dynamics
4. Highly Customizable: Users can adjust visual parameters to suit their preferences
Potential Use Cases
- Technical analysis for long-term investors
- Identifying market cycle patterns
- Understanding historical price movement rhythms
- Educational tool for market cycle theory
Limitations/Considerations
- Based on a predefined 4-year cycle model (Liquidity Cycles)
- Historic Cycle Structures are not an indication for future performance
- May not perfectly represent all market behavior
- Requires visual interpretation
This script is particularly interesting for investors who believe in cyclical market theories and want a visual, data-driven representation of market stages.
Weekly Covered Calls Strategy with IV & Delta LogicWhat Does the Indicator Do?
this is interactive you must use it with your options chain to input data based on the contract you want to trade.
Visualize three strike price levels for covered calls based on:
Aggressive (closest to price, riskier).
Moderate (mid-range, balanced).
Low Delta (farthest, safer).
Incorporate Implied Volatility (IV) from the options chain to make strike predictions more realistic and aligned with market sentiment. Adjust the risk tolerance by modifying Delta inputs and IV values. Risk is defined for example .30 delta means 30% chance of your shares being assigned. If you want to generate steady income with your shares you might want to lower the risk of them being assigned to .05 or 5% etc.
How to Use the Indicator with the Options Chain
Start with the Options Chain:
Look for the following data points from your options chain:
Implied Volatility (IV Mid): Average IV for a particular strike price.
Delta:
~0.30 Delta: Closest strike (Aggressive).
~0.15–0.20 Delta: Mid-range strike (Moderate).
~0.05–0.10 Delta: Far OTM, safer (Low Delta).
Strike Price: Identify strike prices for the desired Deltas.
Open Interest: Check liquidity; higher OI ensures tighter spreads.
Input IV into the Indicator:
Enter the IV Mid value (e.g., 0.70 for 70%) from the options chain into the Implied Volatility field of the indicator.
Adjust Delta Inputs Based on Risk Tolerance:
Aggressive Delta: Increase if you want strikes closer to the current price (riskier, higher premium).
Default: 0.2 (20% chance of shares being assigned).
Moderate Delta: Balanced risk/reward.
Default: 0.12 (12%)
Low Delta: Decrease for safer, farther OTM strikes.
Default: 0.05 (5%)
Visualize the Chart:
Once inputs are updated:
Red Line: Aggressive Strike (closest, riskiest, higher premium).
Blue Line: Moderate Strike (mid-range).
Green Line: Low Delta Strike (farthest, safer).
Step-by-Step Workflow Example
Open the options chain and note:
Implied Volatility (IV Mid): Example 71.5% → input as 0.715.
Delta for desired strikes:
Aggressive: 0.30 Delta → Closest strike ~ $455.
Moderate: 0.15 Delta → Mid-range strike ~ $470.
Low Delta: 0.05 Delta → Farther strike ~ $505.
Open the indicator and adjust:
IV Mid: Enter 0.715.
Aggressive Delta: Leave at 0.12 (or adjust to bring strikes closer).
Moderate Delta: Leave at 0.18.
Low Delta: Adjust to 0.25 for safer, farther strikes.
View the chart:
Compare the indicator's strikes (red, blue, green) with actual options chain strikes.
Use the visualization to: Validate the risk/reward for each strike.
Align strikes with technical trends, support/resistance.

Weekly Covered Calls StrategyWhat Does This Indicator Do?
This indicator is a tool to help you pick strike prices for your weekly covered call options strategy. It does two things:
Plots two suggested strike prices on your chart:
Aggressive Strike (red label): A strike price closer to the current price, offering higher premiums but with a higher chance of assignment.
Moderate Strike (blue label): A strike price further from the current price, offering lower premiums but with a lower chance of assignment.
Uses technical analysis (volatility) to calculate these strike prices dynamically. It adjusts them based on the market's volatility and your chosen risk settings.
How It Works:
The indicator uses the following inputs to determine the strike prices:
ATR (Average True Range):
This measures the stock's volatility (how much the stock moves up or down over a given period).
A higher ATR = more volatile stock = wider range for strike prices.
Delta Adjustments:
The default settings use Delta values of 0.12 (Aggressive) and 0.18 (Moderate).
Delta is a concept in options trading that estimates the likelihood of the option being "in the money" (ITM) by expiration.
A 0.12 Delta = 12% chance of assignment (Aggressive)
A 0.18 Delta = 18% chance of assignment (Moderate)
Volatility Factor:
This multiplies the ATR by a factor (default is 1.5) to estimate the expected price move and adjust strike prices accordingly.
How to Use the Indicator:
Step 1: Understand the Labels
Red Label (Aggressive Strike):
Closer to the current stock price.
You’ll collect higher premiums because the strike price is riskier (closer to being ITM).
Best for traders comfortable with a higher risk of assignment.
Blue Label (Moderate Strike):
Further from the current stock price.
You’ll collect lower premiums because the strike price is safer (further from being ITM).
Best for traders looking to avoid assignment and collect safer weekly income.
Step 2: Match It to the Options Chain
Open your options chain (like the one you see in Fidelity, TOS, or TradingView).
Look for the strike prices closest to the red (aggressive) and blue (moderate) labels plotted by the indicator.
Compare the premiums (the amount you collect for selling the call) and decide:
If you want higher income: Go with the Aggressive Strike.
If you want safety: Go with the Moderate Strike.
Step 3: Manage Your Risk and Income
Avoid Assignment:
If you do not want your shares to be called away, choose strike prices further from the current price (e.g., moderate strike).
Maximize Premiums:
If you’re okay with a chance of your shares being called away, choose the closer aggressive strike for higher premium income.
Weekly Income Goal:
Use this strategy consistently each week to collect premium income while holding your shares.
Step 4: Adjust for Your Risk Tolerance
You can adjust the Delta values (0.12 for Aggressive and 0.18 for Moderate) to suit your risk tolerance:
Lower Delta (e.g., 0.08–0.10): Safer, fewer chances of assignment, lower premiums.
Higher Delta (e.g., 0.20–0.25): Riskier, higher chances of assignment, higher premiums.
Technical Analysis Summary (What the Indicator Uses):
The indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility and estimate how far the price might move.
It then multiplies ATR by a Volatility Factor to calculate the strike prices.
Using the Delta Adjustment settings, it adjusts these strike prices to give you a balance between risk and reward.
Putting It All Together:
Look at the Chart: The indicator will show two lines and labels for strike prices.
Check the Options Chain: Find the closest strike prices and compare premiums.
Decide Your Strategy:
Want higher premium income? Choose the Aggressive Strike (red label).
Want lower risk of assignment? Choose the Moderate Strike (blue label).
Collect Weekly Income: Sell the call option and repeat this process weekly to generate consistent income.
Happy trading, and may your premiums roll in while your shares stay safe! 🎯📊
20/50 SMA Cross 200 SMAThis Pine Script code is designed to identify and visualize crossovers of two shorter-term Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), a 20-period SMA and a 50-period SMA, with a longer-term 200-period SMA on a price chart. It also includes alerts for these crossover events. Here's a breakdown:
**Purpose:**
The core idea behind this script is to detect potential trend changes. Crossovers of shorter-term moving averages over a longer-term moving average are often interpreted as bullish signals, while crossovers below are considered bearish.
**Key Components:**
1. **Moving Average Calculation:**
* `sma20 = ta.sma(close, 20)`: Calculates the 20-period SMA of the closing price.
* `sma50 = ta.sma(close, 50)`: Calculates the 50-period SMA of the closing price.
* `sma200 = ta.sma(close, 200)`: Calculates the 200-period SMA of the closing price.
2. **Crossover Detection:**
* `crossUp20 = ta.crossover(sma20, sma200)`: Returns `true` when the 20-period SMA crosses above the 200-period SMA.
* `crossDown20 = ta.crossunder(sma20, sma200)`: Returns `true` when the 20-period SMA crosses below the 200-period SMA.
* Similar logic applies for `crossUp50` and `crossDown50` with the 50-period SMA.
3. **Recent Crossover Tracking (Crucial Improvement):**
* `lookback = 7`: Defines a lookback period of 7 bars.
* `var bool hasCrossedUp20 = false`, etc.: Declares `var` (persistent) boolean variables to track if a crossover has occurred *within* the last 7 bars. This is the most important correction from previous versions.
* The logic using `ta.barssince()` is the key:
* If a crossover happens (`crossUp20` is true), the corresponding `hasCrossedUp20` is set to `true`.
* If no crossover happens on the current bar, it checks if a crossover happened within the last 7 bars using `ta.barssince(crossUp20) <= lookback`. If so, it keeps `hasCrossedUp20` as `true`. After 7 bars, it becomes `false`.
4. **Plotting Crossovers:**
* `plotshape(...)`: Plots circles on the chart to visually mark the crossovers.
* Green circles below the bars for bullish crossovers (20 and 50).
* Red circles above the bars for bearish crossovers (20 and 50).
* Different shades of green/red (green/lime, red/maroon) distinguish between 20 and 50 SMA crossovers.
5. **Plotting Moving Averages (Optional but Helpful):**
* `plot(sma20, color=color.blue, linewidth=1)`: Plots the 20-period SMA in blue.
* Similar logic for the 50-period SMA (orange) and 200-period SMA (gray).
6. **Alerts:**
* `alertcondition(...)`: Triggers alerts when crossovers occur. This is essential for real-time trading signals.
**How it Works (in Simple Terms):**
The script continuously calculates the 20, 50, and 200 SMAs. It then monitors for instances where the 20 or 50 SMA crosses the 200 SMA. When such a crossover happens, a colored circle is plotted on the chart, and an alert is triggered. The key improvement is that it remembers if a crossover occurred in the last 7 bars and continues to display the circle during that period.
**Use Case:**
Traders use this type of indicator to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. A bullish crossover (shorter SMA crossing above the longer SMA) might be a signal to buy, while a bearish crossover might be a signal to sell.
**Key Improvements over Previous Versions:**
* **Correct Lookback Implementation:** The use of `ta.barssince()` and `var` variables is the correct and efficient way to check for crossovers within a lookback period. This fixes the major flaw in earlier versions.
* **Clear Visualizations:** The use of `plotshape` with distinct colors makes it easy to distinguish between 20 and 50 SMA crossovers.
* **Alerts:** The inclusion of alerts makes the script much more practical for real-time trading.
This improved version provides a robust and useful tool for identifying and tracking SMA crossovers.
Weighted Fourier Transform: Spectral Gating & Main Frequency🙏🏻 This drop has 2 purposes:
1) to inform every1 who'd ever see it that Weighted Fourier Tranform does exist, while being available nowhere online, not even in papers, yet there's nothing incredibly complicated about it, and it can/should be used in certain cases;
2) to show TradingView users how they can use it now in dem endevours, to show em what spectral filtering is, and what can they do with all of it in diy mode.
... so we gonna have 2 sections in the description
Section 1: Weighted Fourier Transform
It's quite easy to include weights in Fourier analysis: you just premultiply each datapoint by its corresponding weight -> feed to direct Fourier Transform, and then divide by weights after inverse Fourier transform. Alternatevely, in direct transform you just multiply contributions of each data point to the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier transform by corresponding weights (in accumulation phase), and in inverse transform you divide by weights instead during the accumulation phase. Everything else stays the same just like in non-weighted version.
If you're from the first target group let's say, you prolly know a thing or deux about how to code & about Fourier Transform, so you can just check lines of code to see the implementation of Weighted Discrete version of Fourier Transform, and port it to to any technology you desire. Pine Script is a developing technology that is incredibly comfortable in use for quant-related tasks and anything involving time series in general. While also using Python for research and C++ for development, every time I can do what I want in Pine Script, I reach for it and never touch matlab, python, R, or anything else.
Weighted version allows you to explicetly include order/time information into the operation, which is essential with every time series, although not widely used in mainstream just as many other obvious and right things. If you think deeply, you'll understand that you can apply a usual non-weighted Fourier to any 2d+ data you can (even if none of these dimensions represent time), because this is a geometric tool in essence. By applying linearly decaying weights inside Fourier transform, you're explicetly saying, "one of these dimensions is Time, and weights represent the order". And obviously you can combine multiple weightings, eg time and another characteristic of each datum, allows you to include another non-spatial dimension in your model.
By doing that, on properly processed (not only stationary but Also centered around zero data), you can get some interesting results that you won't be able to recreate without weights:
^^ A sine wave, centered around zero, period of 16. Gray line made by: DWFT (direct weighted Fourier transform) -> spectral gating -> IWFT (inverse weighted Fourier transform) -> plotting the last value of gated reconstructed data, all applied to expanding window. Look how precisely it follows the original data (the sine wave) with no lag at all. This can't be done by using non-weighted version of Fourier transform.
^^ spectral filtering applied to the whole dataset, calculated on the latest data update
And you should never forget about Fast Fourier Transform, tho it needs recursion...
Section 2: About use cases for quant trading, about this particular implementaion in Pine Script 6 (currently the latest version as of Friday 13, December 2k24).
Given the current state of things, we have certain limits on matrix size on TradingView (and we need big dope matrixes to calculate polynomial regression -> detrend & center our data before Fourier), and recursion is not yet available in Pine Script, so the script works on short datasets only, and requires some time.
A note on detrending. For quality results, Fourier Transform should be applied to not only stationary but also centered around zero data. The rightest way to do detrending of time series
is to fit Cumulative Weighted Moving Polynomial Regression (known as WLSMA in some narrow circles xD) and calculate the deltas between datapoint at time t and this wonderful fit at time t. That's exactly what you see on the main chart of script description: notice the distances between chart and WLSMA, now look lower and see how it matches the distances between zero and purple line in WFT study. Using residuals of one regression fit of the whole dataset makes less sense in time series context, we break some 'time' and order rules in a way, tho not many understand/cares abouit it in mainstream quant industry.
Two ways of using the script:
Spectral Gating aka Spectral filtering. Frequency domain filtering is quite responsive and for a greater computational cost does not introduce a lag the way it works with time-domain filtering. Works this way: direct Fourier transform your data to get frequency & phase info -> compute power spectrum out of it -> zero out all dem freqs that ain't hit your threshold -> inverse Fourier tranform what's left -> repeat at each datapoint plotting the very first value of reconstructed array*. With this you can watch for zero crossings to make appropriate trading decisions.
^^ plot Freq pass to use the script this way, use Level setting to control the intensity of gating. These 3 only available values: -1, 0 and 1, are the general & natural ones.
* if you turn on labels in script's style settings, you see the gray dots perfectly fitting your data. They get recalculated (for the whole dataset) at each update. You call it repainting, this is for analytical & aesthetic purposes. Included for demonstration only.
Finding main/dominant frequency & period. You can use it to set up Length for your other studies, and for analytical purposes simply to understand the periodicity of your data.
^^ plot main frequency/main period to use the script this way. On the screenshot, you can see the script applied to sine wave of period 16, notice how many datapoints it took the algo to figure out the signal's period quite good in expanding window mode
Now what's the next step? You can try applying signal windowing techniques to make it all less data-driven but your ego-driven, make a weighted periodogram or autocorrelogram (check Wiener-Khinchin Theorem ), and maybe whole shiny spectrogram?
... you decide, choice is yours,
The butterfly reflect the doors ...

Drawdown from All-Time High (Line)This Pine Script is a **Drawdown Indicator from All-Time High** for TradingView. It calculates and plots the percentage drawdown from the highest price the asset has ever reached (the all-time high). Here's a breakdown of what this script does:
### Description:
- **Drawdown Calculation**:
- The drawdown is calculated as the difference between the current price (`close`) and the all-time high, divided by the all-time high, and multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
- If the current price is higher than the previous all-time high, the all-time high is updated to the current price.
- **All-Time High Tracking**:
- The script tracks the highest price (`allTimeHigh`) that the asset has ever reached. Each time a new high is reached, the `allTimeHigh` value is updated.
- **Line Plot**:
- The drawdown percentage is then plotted as a line on the chart, with a color of **blue** for easy visualization.
- The line shows how much the price has dropped relative to its all-time high.
- **Zero Line**:
- A horizontal line is added at the **0%** level to act as a reference point, which is helpful to identify when the asset has fully recovered to its all-time high.
### Key Features:
- **Track Drawdown**: The indicator helps visualize how far the current price has fallen from its highest point, which is useful for understanding the depth of losses (drawdowns) during a period.
- **Update All-Time High**: The indicator automatically updates the all-time high whenever a new high is detected.
- **Visual Reference**: The 0% horizontal line provides a clear indication of when the asset is at its all-time high, and the drawdown is at 0%.
### How it Works:
- If the current price surpasses the all-time high, the script will reset the all-time high to the new price.
- The drawdown percentage is calculated from the current price relative to this all-time high, and it is displayed as a line on the chart.
### Visuals:
- **Drawdown Line**: Plots the percentage of the drawdown, which is the drop from the all-time high.
- **Zero Line**: A dotted horizontal line at 0% marks the level of the all-time high.
This indicator is valuable for understanding the extent of price corrections and potential recoveries relative to the historical peak of the asset. It is especially useful for traders and investors who want to assess the risk of drawdowns in relation to the highest price achieved by the asset.
