Candle Emotion Index (CEI) StrategyThe Candle Emotion Index (CEI) Strategy is an innovative sentiment-based trading approach designed to help traders identify and capitalize on market psychology. By analyzing candlestick patterns and combining them into a unified metric, the CEI Strategy provides clear entry and exit signals while dynamically managing risk. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to leverage market sentiment to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
How It Works
The CEI Strategy is built around three core oscillators that reflect key emotional states in the market:
Indecision Oscillator . Measures market uncertainty using patterns like Doji and Spinning Tops. High values indicate hesitation, signaling potential turning points.
Fear Oscillator . Tracks bearish sentiment through patterns like Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing. Helps identify moments of intense selling pressure.
Greed Oscillator . Detects bullish sentiment using patterns like Marubozu, Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Three White Soldiers. Highlights periods of strong buying interest.
These oscillators are averaged into the Candle Emotion Index (CEI):
CEI = (Indecision + Fear + Greed) / 3
This single value quantifies overall market sentiment and drives the strategy’s trading decisions.
Key Features
Sentiment-Based Trading Signals . Long Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a lower threshold (e.g., 0.1), indicating increasing bullish sentiment. Short Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a higher threshold (e.g., 0.2), signaling rising bearish sentiment.
Volume Confirmation . Trades are validated only if volume exceeds a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over the lookback period. This ensures entries are backed by significant market activity.
Break-Even Recovery Mechanism . If a trade moves into a loss, the strategy attempts to recover to break-even instead of immediately exiting at a loss. This feature provides flexibility, allowing the market to recover while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Dynamic Risk Management . Maximum Holding Period: Trades are closed after a user-defined number of candles to avoid overexposure to prolonged uncertainty. Profit-Taking Conditions: Positions are exited when favorable price moves are confirmed by increased volume, locking in gains. Loss Threshold: Trades are exited early if the price moves unfavorably beyond a set percentage of the entry price, limiting potential losses.
Cooldown Period . After a trade is closed, a cooldown period prevents immediate re-entry, reducing overtrading and improving signal quality.
Why Use This Strategy?
The CEI Strategy combines advanced sentiment analysis with robust trade management, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market psychology and identify high-probability setups. Its unique features, such as the break-even recovery mechanism and volume confirmation, add an extra layer of discipline and reliability to trading decisions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Indicators . Use trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, ADX) and momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm signals.
Align with Key Levels . Incorporate support and resistance levels for refined entries and exits.
Multi-Market Compatibility . Apply this strategy to forex, crypto, stocks, or any asset class with strong volume and price action.
Greed
Candle Emotion Index (CEI)The Candle Emotion Index (CEI) is a comprehensive sentiment analysis indicator that combines three sub-oscillators—Indecision Oscillator, Fear Oscillator, and Greed Oscillator—to provide a single, unified measure of market sentiment. By analyzing bullish, bearish, and indecisive candlestick patterns, the CEI delivers a holistic view of market emotions and helps traders identify key turning points.
How It Works
Indecision Oscillator: Measures market uncertainty using Doji and Spinning Top candlestick patterns. Scores their presence and normalizes the results over a user-defined lookback period.
Fear Oscillator: Measures bearish sentiment using Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing candlestick patterns. Scores their presence and normalizes the results over a user-defined lookback period.
Greed Oscillator: Measures bullish sentiment using Marubozu, Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, and Three White Soldiers candlestick patterns. Scores their presence and normalizes the results over a user-defined lookback period.
Candle Emotion Index Calculation: The CEI is calculated as the average of the Indecision, Fear, and Greed Oscillators: CEI = (Indecision Oscillator + Fear Oscillator + Greed Oscillator) / 3
Plotting: The CEI is plotted as a single line on the chart, representing overall market sentiment.
Reference lines are added to indicate Low Emotion, Neutral, and High Emotion levels.
The Candle Emotion Index provides a unified perspective on market sentiment by blending indecision, fear, and greed into one easy-to-interpret metric. It serves as a powerful tool for traders seeking to gauge market psychology and identify high-probability trading opportunities. For best results, use the CEI in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm signals.
Greed OscillatorThis Pine Script v6 component calculates and plots a "Greed Oscillator" based on the presence of bullish candlestick patterns (Marubozu, Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, and Three White Soldiers) over a user-defined lookback period.
How It Works:
User Inputs: length - The lookback period for calculating the oscillator, marubozuThreshold - The threshold for identifying Marubozu patterns, engulfingThreshold - The threshold for identifying Bullish Engulfing patterns, hammerThreshold - The threshold for identifying Hammer patterns, threeWhiteSoldiersThreshold - The threshold for identifying Three White Soldiers patterns.
Pattern Detection: The script defines functions to detect Marubozu, Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, and Three White Soldiers patterns. Patterns are identified based on the size of the body, wicks, and specific threshold criteria.
Score Calculation: The script calculates scores for each bullish pattern over the lookback period. These scores are normalized by dividing by the total number of candles in the period.
Greed Oscillator: The oscillator is calculated as the average of the normalized scores for the four bullish patterns.
Plotting: The Greed Oscillator is plotted on the chart, with reference lines for "Low Greed" and "High Greed" levels.
This indicator provides a visual representation of market greed, making it a useful tool for traders to assess bullish sentiment and identify potential reversal points or areas of heightened bullish activity. It works best in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals.
Fear/Greed Zone Reversals [UAlgo]The "Fear/Greed Zone Reversals " indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed for TradingView, aimed at identifying potential reversal points in the market based on sentiment zones characterized by fear and greed. This indicator utilizes a combination of moving averages, standard deviations, and price action to detect when the market transitions from extreme fear to greed or vice versa. By identifying these critical turning points, traders can gain insights into potential buy or sell opportunities.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Moving Averages: The indicator allows users to select from various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) for both fear and greed zone calculations, enabling flexible adaptation to different trading strategies.
Fear Zone Settings:
Fear Source: Select the price data point (e.g., close, high, low) used for Fear Zone calculations.
Fear Period: This defines the lookback window for calculating the Fear Zone deviation.
Fear Stdev Period: This sets the period used to calculate the standard deviation of the Fear Zone deviation.
Greed Zone Settings:
Greed Source: Select the price data point (e.g., close, high, low) used for Greed Zone calculations.
Greed Period: This defines the lookback window for calculating the Greed Zone deviation.
Greed Stdev Period: This sets the period used to calculate the standard deviation of the Greed Zone deviation.
Alert Conditions: Integrated alert conditions notify traders in real-time when a reversal in the fear or greed zone is detected, allowing for timely decision-making.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Greed Zone: A Greed Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly above the chosen moving average. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards greed, potentially indicating a selling opportunity.
Fear Zone Reversal: A Fear Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly below the chosen moving average of the selected price source. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards fear, potentially indicating a buying opportunity. When the indicator identifies a reversal from a fear zone, it suggests that the market is transitioning from a period of intense selling pressure to a more neutral or potentially bullish state. This is typically indicated by an upward arrow (▲) on the chart, signaling a potential buy opportunity. The fear zone is characterized by high price volatility and overselling, making it a crucial point for traders to consider entering the market.
Greed Zone Reversal: Conversely, a Greed Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly above the chosen moving average. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards greed, potentially indicating a selling opportunity. When the indicator detects a reversal from a greed zone, it indicates that the market may be moving from an overbought condition back to a more neutral or bearish state. This is marked by a downward arrow (▼) on the chart, suggesting a potential sell opportunity. The greed zone is often associated with overconfidence and high buying activity, which can precede a market correction.
🔶 Why offer multiple moving average types?
By providing various moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) , the indicator offers greater flexibility for traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and market preferences. Different moving averages react differently to price data and can produce varying signals.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Provides an equal weighting to all data points within the specified period.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Gives more weight to recent data points, making it more responsive to price changes.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Allows for custom weighting of data points, providing more flexibility in the calculation.
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Considers both price and volume data, giving more weight to periods with higher trading volume.
HMA (Hull Moving Average): A combination of weighted moving averages designed to reduce lag and provide a smoother curve.
Offering multiple options allows traders to:
Experiment: Traders can try different moving averages to see which one produces the most accurate signals for their specific market.
Adapt to different market conditions: Different market conditions may require different moving average types. For example, a fast-moving market might benefit from a faster moving average like an EMA, while a slower-moving market might be better suited to a slower moving average like an SMA.
Personalize: Traders can choose the moving average that best aligns with their personal trading style and risk tolerance.
In essence, providing a variety of moving average types empowers traders to create a more personalized and effective trading experience.

Levels Of Greed
The Levels Of Greed indicator is based on the same idea as the Levels Of Fear one and was suggested by several traders in the comment section. It helps analyze price advances to find the best levels for closing a long position in an asset after a quick surge or longer up-trend. In finance, volatility is a term that describes the degree of variation of an asset price over time. It is usually denoted by the letter σ (sigma) and estimated as the standard deviation of the asset price or price returns. The Levels Of Greed indicator helps measure the current price advance in the standard deviation units. It plots seven levels at distances of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 standard deviations (sigmas) above the base price (the recent lowest price or lower bound of the established range). In what follows, we will refer to these levels as levels of greed.
HOW TO USE
When the price in its surge reaches a certain level of greed, it means that it has surged from its recent lowest value by a corresponding number of standard deviations. The indicator helps traders see the maximum levels to which the price may rise and estimate the potential height of the current surge. Five-seven sigma surges are relatively rare events and correspond to significant market exuberance. Careful traders and shorter-term ones would not want to participate in the bandwagon effect and herd behavior that drive market bubbles. They prefer to take their profits when the market is not exceedingly overbought.
SETTINGS
Window : the averaging window or period of the indicator. The algorithm uses this parameter to calculate the base level and standard deviations. Higher values are better for measuring deeper and longer surges.
Levels Stability : the parameter used in the up-move detection. The higher the value is, the more stable and long the greed levels are, but at the same time, the lag increases. The lower it is, the faster the indicator responds to the price changes, but the greed levels are recalculated more frequently and are less stable. This parameter is mostly for fine-tuning. It does not change the overall picture much.
Mode : the parameter that defines the style for the labels. In the Cool Guys Mode, the indicator displays the labels as emojis. In the Serious Guys Mode, labels show the distance from the base level measured in standard deviation units or sigmas.

Fear and Greed Intraday IndexThis script uses all of the sub-components of my 'Fear and Greed Index' which can be used on intraday timeframes. Most of the components of this script are based on the popular fear and greed index website and are briefly described in the code comments.
Several of the subcomponents have been recalculated to use RSIs instead of being compared to moving averages, which means as opposed to being used a contrarian timing indicator as the daily timeframe Fear and Greed Index is, this indicator now may potentially be used more like a momentum indicator.
It's up to you!
Enjoy!
Fear and Greed Index CandlesticksThis colours the candlesticks based on my 'Fear and Greed Index'.
All calculations are explained in the code.
The index is mainly based upon the components of the popular fear and greed index website. I've annotated the components in the code for you to look at.
If you're interested, you can replace the final variable 'Total' (within the 'barcolor' function at the very end) with any of the final outputs of the subcomponents to see the results of that single part.
Red = Greed
Green = Fear
Enjoy!
Fear and Greed IndexI couldn't find one based on the original, so I made my own, it's not quite identical, but it does the job.
Red = greed
Green = fear
I updated a lot of the subcomponents and fixed a bug. I've reduced the smoothing to 1, it was previously 5 if you prefer smoother signals. Also added a McClellan oscillator.
I've commented out the plotting of individual sub-components, just uncomment them to see what they do. Some look like pretty useful indicators on their own.
Enjoy!
FEAR & GREED INDICATORBINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP
Hello
The crypto index, which is currently only for Bitcoin, captures bearish and bullish trends by gauging investor sentiment for the coin. As the name suggests, the market trend is identified based on two emotions – fear and greed.
This configurations are set for 1D BTC charts
This is simple script, based on cheatcountry script
Enjoy ;)
ST_greed_spot_exampleA simple grid long strategy. The first entry into the transaction is carried out according to the "double bottom" pattern, then when the average entry price decreases by a certain percentage, the position is completed. Dobor is always carried out for the same amount of funds. Take profit with an increase in the average entry price for a given volume
Alferow_pnl_up_shortThis script allows you to determine the leverage required to enter one position based on the set entry price, the price of the expected take profit, stop loss and risk per transaction. It also allows you to schedule this transaction for 5 possible transactions, with different shoulders and a martingale coefficient for each subsequent gain at the same risk, allowing you to qualitatively improve the pnl of the transaction with price fluctuations after entering the transaction. The script is designed for short positions.
Simplified Crypto Fear & Greed DisplayA more simplified view of a Fear & Greed index.
This script has been made public because it uses Trading Psychology - Fear & Greed Index by DGT as the basis/inspiration for it.
I've re-imagined the visuals in order to display F&G data differently to the more traditional versions of the indicator floating around, as well as adapting it's calculations and reference assets for use with Crypto markets.
It's aim is to show the current status / mindset of market participants at a quick glance.
When there is a lot of fear in the market it is usually a good time to look for buying opportunities.
On the flip side you can use it to spot selling opportunities when there is too much greed / FOMO in the markets.
This indicator has the option for Traditional and Crypto markets.
The Traditional option uses the tickers VIX and GOLD as part of it's calculations, where as Crypto uses BVOL24H and BTC.D in order to base it's decisions off of more relevant data.
There are also 10 levels of smoothing so play around with that to get the desired result. Depending on the asset you are looking at, smoothing of 1 or 2 may work much better than 5+
Have a play around, customize it, use it and let me know what you think.
GreedZone indicator - Contrarian Indicator"Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful" - Warren Buffett.

Fear And Greed IndicatorThe Fear And Greed Indicator is a very popular indicator on the Bloomberg platform and since I didn't have actual source code to work with, this is a very close approximation of that indicator. Let me know if you spot any discrepancies with the original and I will do my best to fix them.
For buy and sell signals it is pretty straightforward. Just buy when the green (greed) is in control and sell when the fear (red) is in control
This was a special request so let me know if you want to see more scripts from me or if you want something custom!
Fear & Greed Index-BuschiThis is an attempt to mimic the CNN Money "Fear & Greed Index": money.cnn.com
It's far from perfect, because the exact numbers can be a bit far off. Still, the highs and lows are quite on target. Alas, CNN does not give away too much information on how the index is calculated.
Feedback is most welcome.
