Correlation Coefficient Master Table

ayer

The Correlation Coefficient Master Table is a comprehensive tool designed to calculate and visualize the correlation coefficient between a selected base asset and multiple other assets over various time periods. It provides traders and analysts with a clear understanding of the relationships between assets, enabling them to analyze trends, diversification opportunities, and market dynamics. You can define key parameters such as the base asset’s data source (e.g., close price), the assets to compare against (up to six symbols), and multiple lookback periods for granular analysis.

The indicator calculates the covariance and normalizes it by the product of the standard deviations. The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to +1, with +1 indicating a perfect positive relationship, -1 a perfect negative relationship, and 0 no relationship.

You can specify the lookback periods (e.g., 15, 30, 90, or 120 bars) to tailor the calculation to their analysis needs. The results are visualized as both a line plot and a table. The line plot shows the correlation over the primary lookback period (the Chart Length), which can be used to inspect a certain length close up, or could be used in conjunction with the table to provide you with five lookback periods at once for the same base asset. The dynamically created table provides a detailed breakdown of correlation values for up to six target assets across the four user-defined lengths. The table’s cells are formatted with rounded values and color-coded for easy interpretation.

This indicator is ideal for traders, portfolio managers, and market researchers who need an in-depth understanding of asset interdependencies. By providing both the numerical correlation coefficients and their visual representation, users can easily identify patterns, assess diversification strategies, and monitor correlations across multiple timeframes, making it a valuable tool for decision-making.
