RSI Impact Heat Map [Trendoscope]Here is a simple tool to measure and display outcome of certain RSI event over heat map.
🎲 Process
🎯Event
Event can be either Crossover or Crossunder of RSI on certain value.
🎯Measuring Impact
Impact of the event after N number of bars is measured in terms of highest and lowest displacement from the last close price. Impact can be collected as either number of times of ATR or percentage of price. Impact for each trigger is recorded separately and stored in array of custom type.
🎯Plotting Heat Map
Heat map is displayed using pine tables. Users can select heat map size - which can vary from 10 to 90. Selecting optimal size is important in order to get right interpretation of data. Having higher number of cells can give more granular data. But, chart may not fit into the window. Having lower size means, stats are combined together to get less granular data which may not give right picture of the results. Default value for size is 50 - meaning data is displayed in 51X51 cells.
Range of the heat map is adjusted automatically based on min and max value of the displacement. In order to filter out or merge extreme values, range is calculated based on certain percentile of the values. This will avoid displaying lots of empty cells which can obscure the actual impact.
🎲 Settings
Settings allow users to define their event, impact duration and reference, and few display related properties. The description of these parameters are as below:
🎲 Use Cases
In this script, we have taken RSI as an example to measure impact. But, we can do this for any event. This can be price crossing over/under upper/lower bollinger bands, moving average crossovers or even complex entry or exit conditions. Overall, we can use this to plot and evaluate our trade criteria.
🎲 Interpretation
Q1 - If more coloured dots appear on the top right corner of the table, then the event is considered to trigger high volatility and high risk environment.
Q2 - If more coloured dots appear on the top left corner, then the events are considered to trigger bearish environment.
Q3 - If more coloured dots appear on the bottom left corner of the chart, then the events are considered insignificant as they neither generate higher displacement in positive or negative side. You can further alter outlier percentage to reduce the bracket and hence have higher distribution move towards
Q4 - If more coloured dots appear on the bottom right corner, then the events are considered to trigger bullish environment.
Will also look forward to implement this as library so that any conditions or events can be plugged into it.
Bar MagnifierMany times while developing algos based on patterns and reversals, I come across issues which needs lower timeframe inspection. Loading multiple charts and comparing equivalent lower timeframe is slightly cumbersome at times. Hence, I thought of building this simple tool - which will instantly provide me lower timeframe candles for given candle. Since the candle selection happen via confirmed time input, we can use this as slider to move from one candle to other for inspection.
🎲 Usage
🎯Loading the script
When you load the script, a prompt appears which asks you to select a time by clicking on the chart.
Select the bar you want to magnify and study
🎯Components
Once loaded, you can see the marker which tells which bar is magnified. And you can also see all the lower timeframe candles before that point. Please note that due to pine restrictions, we can only show last 250 lower timeframe bars. You can change the lower timeframe via settings to cover if the chart timeframe is very high.
🎯Moving to different bars
Click on the middle of the marker, you will see slider which you can slide to move from one bar to other.
Example, after sliding, you will see the lower timeframe data of new candle.
🎯Settings
Settings has only two inputs.
Bar time - selects the bar which needs to be inspected.
Lower timeframe - Default is 1 min. And select a timeframe according to your chart timeframe. Less than 1 min is not supported by security.lower_tf function. Hence, will not work.

Lower win rate (Yes, thats right)
High risk reward (Compensates low win rate)
Higher drawdown
If market is choppy, trend following methods suffer.
The script implements few points to overcome the negatives such as lower win rate and higher drawdown by actively assessing pivots on the direction of trend along. This helps us take regular profits and exit on time during the end of trend. Most of the other concepts are defined and explained in indicator - Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower and Band-Based-Zigzag
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.
🎯 Using bands
When price breaks out of upper bands (example, Bollinger Band , Keltener Channel, or Donchian Channel), with a pre determined length and multiplier, we can consider the trend to be bullish and similarly when price breaks down the lower band, we can consider the trend to be bearish .
🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points .
Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎯 Band Based Zigzag Method
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.
I have also implemented few tricks such as sticky bands (Bands will not contract unless there is breakout) and Adaptive Bands (Band will not expand unless price is moving in the direction of band). This makes the trend following method very robust.
To avoid fakeouts, we also use percentB of high/low in comparison with price retracement to define breakout.

This allows the calculations to run on unbound series, and/or higher number of samples
🎲 Simplifying Covariance
Original Formula
//For Sample
Covₓᵧ = ∑ ((xᵢ-x̄)(yᵢ-ȳ)) / (n-1)
//For Population
Covₓᵧ = ∑ ((xᵢ-x̄)(yᵢ-ȳ)) / n
Now, if we look at numerator, this can be simplified as follows
∑ ((xᵢ-x̄)(yᵢ-ȳ))
=> (x₁-x̄)(y₁-ȳ) + (x₂-x̄)(y₂-ȳ) + (x₃-x̄)(y₃-ȳ) ... + (xₙ-x̄)(yₙ-ȳ)
=> (x₁y₁ + x̄ȳ - x₁ȳ - y₁x̄) + (x₂y₂ + x̄ȳ - x₂ȳ - y₂x̄) + (x₃y₃ + x̄ȳ - x₃ȳ - y₃x̄) ... + (xₙyₙ + x̄ȳ - xₙȳ - yₙx̄)
=> (x₁y₁ + x₂y₂ + x₃y₃ ... + xₙyₙ) + (x̄ȳ + x̄ȳ + x̄ȳ ... + x̄ȳ) - (x₁ȳ + x₂ȳ + x₃ȳ ... xₙȳ) - (y₁x̄ + y₂x̄ + y₃x̄ + yₙx̄)
=> ∑xᵢyᵢ + n(x̄ȳ) - ȳ∑xᵢ - x̄∑yᵢ
So, overall formula can be simplified to be used in pine as
//For Sample
Covₓᵧ = (∑xᵢyᵢ + n(x̄ȳ) - ȳ∑xᵢ - x̄∑yᵢ) / (n-1)
//For Population
Covₓᵧ = (∑xᵢyᵢ + n(x̄ȳ) - ȳ∑xᵢ - x̄∑yᵢ) / n
🎲 Simplifying Standard Deviation
Original Formula
//For Sample
σ = √(∑(xᵢ-x̄)² / (n-1))
//For Population
σ = √(∑(xᵢ-x̄)² / n)
Now, if we look at numerator within square root
∑(xᵢ-x̄)²
=> (x₁² + x̄² - 2x₁x̄) + (x₂² + x̄² - 2x₂x̄) + (x₃² + x̄² - 2x₃x̄) ... + (xₙ² + x̄² - 2xₙx̄)
=> (x₁² + x₂² + x₃² ... + xₙ²) + (x̄² + x̄² + x̄² ... + x̄²) - (2x₁x̄ + 2x₂x̄ + 2x₃x̄ ... + 2xₙx̄)
=> ∑xᵢ² + nx̄² - 2x̄∑xᵢ
=> ∑xᵢ² + x̄(nx̄ - 2∑xᵢ)
So, overall formula can be simplified to be used in pine as
//For Sample
σ = √(∑xᵢ² + x̄(nx̄ - 2∑xᵢ) / (n-1))
//For Population
σ = √(∑xᵢ² + x̄(nx̄ - 2∑xᵢ) / n)

Band-Zigzag Based Trend FollowerWe defined new method to derive zigzag last month - which is called Channel-Based-Zigzag . This script is an example of one of the use case of this method.
🎲 Trend Following
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.

Band-Based-Supertrend
Donchian-Channel-Trend-Filter
🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points.
Adoptive-Supertrend-Pivots
Zigzag-Supertrend
Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎲 Band Based Zigzag Method
Band Based Zigzag will help overcome these issues by combining both the methods.
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts.
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.

🎲 The indicator
The output of indicator is simple and intuitive to understand.
🎯 Trend Criteria
Uptrend when last confirmed pivot is pivot high and has higher retracement ratio than PercentB of High. Else, considered as downtrend.
Downtrend when last confirmed pivot is pivot low and has higher retracement ratio than PercentB of High. Else, considered as uptrend.
🎯 Settings
Settings allow you to select the band type and parameters used for calculating zigzag and then trend. Also has few options to hide the display.
Chatterjee CorrelationThis is my first attempt on implementing a statistical method. This problem was given to me by @lejmer (who also helped me later on building more efficient code to achieve this) when we were debating on the need for higher resource allocation to run scripts so it can run longer and faster. The major problem faced by those who want to implement statistics based methods is that they run out of processing time or need to limit the data samples. My point was that such things need be implemented with an algorithm which suits pine instead of trying to port a python code directly. And yes, I am able to demonstrate that by using this implementation of Chatterjee Correlation.
🎲 What is Chatterjee Correlation?
The Chatterjee rank Correlation Coefficient (CCC) is a method developed by Sourav Chatterjee which can be used to study non linear correlation between two series.
Full documentation on the method can be found here:
arxiv.org
In short, the formula which we are implementing here is:
Algorithm can be simplified as follows:
1. Get the ranks of X
2. Get the ranks of Y
3. Sort ranks of Y in the order of X (Lets call this SortedYIndices)
4. Calculate the sum of adjacent Y ranks in SortedYIndices (Lets call it as SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices)
5. And finally the correlation coefficient can be calculated by using simple formula
CCC = 1 - (3*SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices)/(n^2 - 1)
🎲 Looks simple? What is the catch?
Mistake many people do here is that they think in Python/Java/C etc while coding in Pine. This makes code less efficient if it involves arrays and loops. And the simple code may look something like this.
var xArray = array.new()
var yArray = array.new()
array.push(xArray, x)
array.push(yArray, y)
sortX = array.sort_indices(xArray)
sortY = array.sort_indices(yArray)
SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices = 0.0
index = array.get(xSortIndices, 0)
for i=1 to n > 1? n -1 : na
indexNext = array.get(sortX, i)
SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices += math.abs(array.get(sortY, indexNext)-array.get(sortY, index))
index := indexNext
correlation := 1 - 3*SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices/(math.pow(n,2)-1)
But, problem here is the number of loops run. Remember pine executes the code on every bar. There are loops run in array.sort_indices and another loop we are running to calculate SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices. Due to this, chances of program throwing runtime errors due to script running for too long are pretty high. This limits greatly the number of samples against which we can run the study. The options to overcome are
Limit the sample size and calculate only between certain bars - this is not ideal as smaller sets are more likely to yield false or inconsistent results.
Start thinking in pine instead of python and code in such a way that it is optimised for pine. - This is exactly what we have done in the published code.
🎲 How to think in Pine?
In order to think in pine, you should try to eliminate the loops as much as possible. Specially on the data which is continuously growing.
My first thought was that sorting takes lots of time and need to find a better way to sort series - specially when it is a growing data set. Hence, I came up with this library which implements Binary Insertion Sort.
Replacing array.sort_indices with binary insertion sort will greatly reduce the number of loops run on each bar. In binary insertion sort, the array will remain sorted and any item we add, it will keep adding it in the existing sort order so that there is no need to run separate sort. This allows us to work with bigger data sets and can utilise full 20,000 bars for calculation instead of few 100s.
However, last loop where we calculate SumOfAdjacentSortedIndices is not replaceable easily. Hence, we only limit these iterations to certain bars (Even though we use complete sample size). Plots are made for only those bars where the results need to be printed.
🎲 Implementation
Current implementation is limited to few combinations of x and fixed y. But, will be converting this into library soon - which means, programmers can plug any x and y and get the correlation.
Our X here can be
Average volume
ATR
And our Y is distance of price from moving average - which identifies trend.
Thus, the indicator here helps to understand the correlation coefficient between volume and trend OR volatility and trend for given ticker and timeframe. Value closer to 1 means highly correlated and value closer to 0 means least correlated. Please note that this method will not tell how these values are correlated. That is, we will not be able to know if higher volume leads to higher trend or lower trend. But, we can say whether volume impacts trend or not.
Please note that values can differ by great extent for different timeframes. For example, if you look at 1D timeframe, you may get higher value of correlation coefficient whereas lower value for 1m timeframe. This means, volume to trend correlation is higher in 1D timeframe and lower in lower timeframes.

Harmonic Patterns Based SupertrendExtending the earlier implemented concept of Harmonic-Patterns-Based-Trend-Follower , in this script, lets make it work as supertrend so that it is more easier to operate.
🎲 Process
🎯 Derive Zigzag and scan harmonic patterns for last 5 confirmed pivots
🎯 If a pattern is found, bullish and bearish zones are calculated based on parameter Base
🎯 These bullish and bearish zones act as supertrend based on current trade in progress.
🎯 When in bullish mode, bearish zone will only go up irrespective of new pattern forming new low. Similarly when in bearish mode, bullish zones will only come down - this is done to imitate the standard supertrend behaviour.
🎲 Note
Patterns are not created on latest pivot as last pivot will be unconfirmed and moving. Due to this, patterns appear after certain delay - patterns will not be real time. But, this is expected and does not impact the overall process.
Here are few chart captures to demonstrate how it works.
🎲 Settings
Settings are explained in the screenshot below.
Harmonic Patterns Based Trend FollowerEarlier this week, published an idea on how harmonic patterns can be used for trend following. This script is an attempt to implement the same.
🎲 Process
🎯 Derive Zigzag and scan harmonic patterns for last 5 confirmed pivots
🎯 If a pattern is found, highest point of pattern will become the bullish zone and lower point of the pattern will become bearish zone.
🎯 Since it is trend following method, when price reaches bullish zone, then the trend is considered as bullish and when price reaches bearish zone, the trend is considered as bearish.
🎯 If price does not touch both regions, then trend remains unchanged.
🎯 Bullish and bearish zone will change as and when new patterns are formed.
🎲 Note
Patterns are not created on latest pivot as last pivot will be unconfirmed and moving. Due to this, patterns appear after certain delay - patterns will not be real time. But, this is expected and does not impact the overall process.
When new pattern formed
When price breaks over the zones
🎲 Output
🎯 Patterns formed are drawn in blue coloured lines. Due to pine limitation of max 500 lines, older patterns automatically get deleted when new ones come.
🎯 Bullish Zone and Bearish Zone are plotted in green and red colours and the zone will change whenever new pattern comes along.
🎯 Bar colors are changed according to calculated trend. Trend value can be 1 or -1 based on the current trend. You can also find the value in data window.
🎯 For simplicity purpose, input option for selection of specific patterns are not provided and also pattern names are not displayed on the chart.
Band Based Trend FilterSimilar to RelativeBandwidthFilter , this script is also a simple trend filter which can be used to define your trading zone.
🎲 Concept
On contrary to reversal mindset, we define trend when price hits either side of the band. If close price hits upper band then it is considered as bullish and if close price hits lower band, then it is considered bearish. Further, trend strength is measured in terms of how many times the price hits one side of the band without hitting other side. Hit is counted only if price has touched middle line in between the touches. This way price walks on the bands are considered as just one hit.
🎲 Settings
Settings are minimal and details can be found in the tooltips against each parameters
🎲 Usage
This can be used with your own strategy to filter your trading/non-trading zones based on trend . Script plots a variable called "Trend" - which is not shown on chart pane. But, it is available in the data window. This can be used in another script as external input and apply logic.
Trend values can be
1 : Allow only Long
-1 : Allow only short
0 : Do not allow any trades
Wolfe Strategy [Trendoscope]Hello Everyone,
Wish you all Merry X-Mas and happy new year. Lets start 2023 with fresh new strategy built on Wolfe Indicator. Details of the indicator can be found here
🎲 Wolfe Concept
Wolfe concept is simple. Whenever a wedge is formed, draw a line joining pivot 1 and 4 as shown in the chart below:
For simplicity, we will only consider static value for Target and Stop. But, entry is done based on breaking the triangle. Revised strategy looks something like this:
🎲 Settings
Settings are simple and details of each are provided via tooltips.
Out of these, the most important one is minimum risk reward ratio. If you set lower risk reward threshold then losing few trades may generate more losses than more winning trades. Similarly higher value will filter out most of the trades and may not work efficiently. Default value set to 1 to make sure optimal risk reward is present before placing trade. Also make note that since the entry bar is always moving towards stop, as and when pattern progress, the RR will also increase. Hence, a pattern which is below RR threshold may become good to trade at certain point of time in future.
🎲 Strategy Parameters
Default strategy parameters are initialised via definition. Margins are set to 100 to disable leveraged trades. Appropriate values are chosen for other parameters. These can be altered based on individual strategy and trading plan.
As the strategy concentrates on the single pattern, number of trades generated are comparatively less. But, there is chance to increase the algorithm further to catch more such patterns on larger scale. Will try to work on them in next versions.
🎲 Pine Strategy limitations
Backtest can only be done on one direction as pine strategy cannot have both long and short open trades together. Hence, it is mandatory to chose either long/short trades in settings.
Since pyramiding is limited to 1, there is possibility of a pattern not generating trade even though the entry conditions are met. They are just based on pine limitations and not necessarily mean patterns are not good for placing trades.
Channel Based Zigzag [HeWhoMustNotBeNamed]🎲 Concept
Zigzag is built based on the price and number of offset bars. But, in this experiment, we build zigzag based on different bands such as Bollinger Band, Keltner Channel and Donchian Channel. The process is simple:
🎯 Derive bands based on input parameters
🎯 High of a bar is considered as pivot high only if the high price is above or equal to upper band.
🎯 Similarly low of a bar is considered as pivot low only if low price is below or equal to lower band.
🎯 Adding the pivot high/low follows same logic as that of regular zigzag where pivot high is always followed by pivot low and vice versa.
🎯 If the new pivot added is of same direction as that of last pivot, then both pivots are compared with each other and only the extreme one is kept. (Highest in case of pivot high and lowest in case of pivot low)
🎯 If a bar has both pivot high and pivot low - pivot with same direction as previous pivot is added to the list first before adding the pivot with opposite direction.
🎲 Use Cases
Can be used for pattern recognition algorithms instead of standard zigzag. This will help derive patterns which are relative to bands and channels.
Example: John Bollinger explains how to manually scan double tap using Bollinger Bands in this video: www.youtube.com This modified zigzag base can be used to achieve the same using algorithmic means.
🎲 Settings
Few simple configurations which will let you select the band properties. Notice that there is no zigzag length here. All the calculations depend on the bands.
With bands display, indicator looks something like this
Note that pivots do not always represent highest/lowest prices. They represent highest/lowest price relative to bands.
As mentioned many times, application of zigzag is not for buying at lower price and selling at higher price. It is mainly used for pattern recognition either manually or via algorithms. Lets build new Harmonic, Chart patterns, Trend Lines using the new zigzag?
BinaryInsertionSortLibrary "BinaryInsertionSort"
Library containing functions which can help create sorted array based on binary insertion sort.
This sorting will be quicker than array.sort function if the sorting needs to be done on every bar and the size of the array is comparatively big.
This is created with the intention of using this to solve a bigger problem posted by @lejmer. Wish me luck!!

Electrocardiogram ChartThis is an attempt to develop alternative visualisation of financial charts. This script also makes use of new pine feature types which represents User Defined Object Types. You can refer to below documentation to understand more about this feature:
www.tradingview.com
www.tradingview.com
🎲 Structure of new chart components
🎯Instead of candles/bars, this type of chart contains Electrocardiogram blocks which resembles the heartbeat signals on electrocardiogram.
Body color of the block is defined by the open and close prices of the bar. If close is greater than open, body is green. Otherwise, the body is painted red.
Border color of the block is defined by the close prices of current and previous bar. If the close of current bar is greater than that of last bar, then the border color is green. Otherwise, border color is painted red.
🎯Inside each blocks there will be 5 connecting lines called the signal lines.
open-open
open-firstPeak(high or low of the bar whichever comes first)
firstPeak-secondPeak(high or low of the bar whichever comes last)
secondPeak-close
close-close
🎯 Color of the signal lines are determined by which among the high/low of the bar comes last. If highest part of the bar reached after reaching the lowest part of the bar, then signal lines are coloured green signifying bullish sentiment towards the end of bar. If lowest part of the bar reached after reaching the highest part of the bar, then signal lines are coloured red signifying bearish sentiment towards the end of bar.
Pictorial examples here:
🎲 Limitations with pinescript implementation
Since, pinescript can only use maximum 500 lines and each block will take 1 box and 5 lines, it is not possible to display more than 100 bars.
Each block of new Electrocardiogram chart will take the space of 7 bars of candlestick chart. Due to this, the alignment of regular OHLC candles is not inline with the new chart type. Background highlighting is done for the part of the OHLC candles where Electrocardiogram blocks are plotted so that it helps users to map the bars manually
