- 0:00all right we're back what's up it's
- 0:02thrax trades today in this video we're
- 0:05going to be talking about an indicator I
- 0:06actually made yesterday I coded an
- 0:09indicator we're going to go over what it
- 0:11is how to set it up how to use it why
- 0:13you would want to use it whether it's
- 0:15even going to be a benefit or not to use
- 0:18this indicator but first let me kind of
- 0:20talk about why I made the indicator so I
- 0:24really made this indicator for me and
- 0:27specifically my strategy I just thought
- 0:29to make it public and for free on
- 0:32trading view if anyone else found it
- 0:34useful by all means they can go ahead
- 0:37and use it I just want to have this
- 0:39video out there just in case anyone
- 0:40wants to use this they'll know how to
- 0:42set it up they'll know how to adjust it
- 0:44so that it works best for their scenario
- 0:47so just a quick overview of what the
- 0:50indicator is so it is a multi-timeframe
- 0:54sentiment indicator and basically what
- 0:56this indicator is doing is we have 7
- 1:00time frames here listed on our indicator
- 1:03it is determining whether the sentiment
- 1:05for that time frame is either bearish or
- 1:07bullish based off of some technical
- 1:09indicators that it's calculating the
- 1:11data off of and then it is giving us a
- 1:14lower time frame overall and higher time
- 1:16frame overall sentiment and the way that
- 1:19the overall sentiments are calculated is
- 1:22for the first three time frames those
- 1:25should be your lower time frames it has
- 1:27a two out of three rule so if two out of
- 1:29three of the time frames are bullish
- 1:31then it's going to give it an overall
- 1:33bullish sentiment if it is bearish two
- 1:35out of three are bearish then it's going
- 1:37to give it a bare sentiment same goes
- 1:39for the higher time frame the only
- 1:41difference with the higher time frame is
- 1:43that the higher time frame is doing a
- 1:45three out of four rule so if three out
- 1:47of four of your higher time frames are
- 1:49bullish it'll be bullish if three out of
- 1:51four are bearish then the overall
- 1:53sentiment for the higher time frame is
- 1:54going to be bearish you can adjust the
- 1:56time frames to whatever you want just
- 1:58keep in mind the first three time frames
- 2:00are going to be your lower time frames
- 2:02the other four time frames following the
- 2:05first three so you know four to seven
- 2:07are going to be your higher time frames
- 2:10so let me just kind of go into why I
- 2:12created this indicator so the reason I
- 2:15created this indicator is because I'm
- 2:16typically placing trades on a one or 5
- 2:20minute chart and I do typically have
- 2:22like a 15minute chart pulled up I have
- 2:25multiple screens but it is hard to kind
- 2:27of keep track of every single chart um
- 2:30and so I thought it' be easier if I just
- 2:31kind of condensed it all down into a
- 2:34simple table chart just to be able to
- 2:36keep your eyes on one screen kind of get
- 2:38an understanding of what's going on and
- 2:40the reason why is because you know
- 2:42sometimes I'm so zoomed in on the charts
- 2:44on the one minute I forget to you know
- 2:46take a bird's eye view or zoom out to
- 2:49see what's happening on higher time
- 2:50frames now as you know higher time frame
- 2:53sentiment or analysis is very important
- 2:55when it comes to intraday trading even
- 2:58if you're scalping um I mean of course
- 3:00it might change a little bit if you're
- 3:02scalping on like let's say a 5-second
- 3:04chart or 15-second chart but nonetheless
- 3:07you know having an overall idea of where
- 3:09the market is actually moving and how
- 3:12the sentiment looks for all the time
- 3:14frames combined it should really give
- 3:16you a better idea on on what side of the
- 3:19market you want to be on when taking
- 3:20trades I mean if the sentiment for lower
- 3:22time frames and higher time frames are
- 3:24all bearish you don't really want to
- 3:26take a long position I mean you can you
- 3:29just have lower probabilities of it
- 3:30actually working out and vice versa you
- 3:32know if everything is showing uh bullish
- 3:35lower time frame overall is bullish
- 3:37higher time frame overall is bullish um
- 3:39you don't really want to be taking
- 3:40shorts you can but probabilities of it
- 3:44working out is going to be slightly
- 3:46lower so it's just making sure that when
- 3:48you are taking trades you're going to be
- 3:49on the right side of the market now keep
- 3:51in mind this is an indicator no
- 3:54indicator I don't care what anyone tells
- 3:55you is not going to make you profitable
- 3:57this is just a tool you should not be
- 3:59taking trades based off of this
- 4:00indicator you should have your strategy
- 4:03you should have your methodology for
- 4:05actually taking trades your own rules
- 4:07and this should just be a tool to help
- 4:09with confirmation or Confluence when it
- 4:13comes to actually making your decisions
- 4:14on how to trade that is very important I
- 4:16do not want to have you taking trades
- 4:20solely based off of the time frame
- 4:22analysis showing bullish or bearish so
- 4:24that's just a quick overview on why I
- 4:26created the indicator I don't know if
- 4:28anyone's going to find it helpful if
- 4:29they do great if not doesn't really
- 4:31matter to me it's free if you want to
- 4:33use it you can if not doesn't matter so
- 4:35I'll kind of go over what it actually is
- 4:38so essentially it's called the
- 4:40multi-timeframe sentiment this one is
- 4:43the pro version I have a version that's
- 4:46actually the first one I created but I
- 4:48wanted to make it more customizable for
- 4:49everybody so it's basically combining
- 4:52price action volume analysis and
- 4:54multiple technical indicators to
- 4:56actually provide uh like a market
- 4:58analysis um across different you know
- 5:01time frame combinations you can
- 5:03customize it it's fully customizable you
- 5:05can modify any of the seven time frames
- 5:07for analysis it is using Dynamic lower
- 5:10time frame and higher time frame
- 5:12calculations and what are those
- 5:13calculations actually based off of so
- 5:16how are we actually coming to find out
- 5:18whether something is bullish or bearish
- 5:20well I have it set up on a few different
- 5:22things so we're in the settings now for
- 5:24the for the indicator as you can see
- 5:26it's fully customizable you can adjust
- 5:28all of the time frames just keep in mind
- 5:30the first three those are your lower
- 5:32time frames the next four those are
- 5:34going to be your higher time frames this
- 5:36is how I currently have M setup which is
- 5:38showing here you do have time frame
- 5:40visibility so if you want to turn all of
- 5:44these
- 5:45off it'll still be calculating for the
- 5:48overall but it just won't show on the
- 5:50chart if you want them on you can keep
- 5:52them on or you can remove some or add
- 5:54some doesn't matter but I want to talk
- 5:56about how is this actually calculating
- 5:59what is showing on the chart so we're
- 6:00using a few different things here we're
- 6:02using the EMA we're using RSI we're
- 6:04using macd and we are using Binger bands
- 6:07and then we are using volume analysis so
- 6:10it's like vwap and on balance volume you
- 6:12can decide whether or not you want to
- 6:14use these or not use these in your
- 6:16calculations you can also adjust the EMA
- 6:19length the RSI length the macd settings
- 6:23the Binger band length and standard
- 6:25deviations and the most important thing
- 6:27here that you want to consider is the
- 6:30weight the weight is basically how the
- 6:33output is getting calculated this might
- 6:35be a little confusing for some people
- 6:36but this is important the output because
- 6:39we're using multiple technical
- 6:41indicators it is getting scored off of a
- 6:44point system so if you add more weight
- 6:47towards a certain indicator or technical
- 6:49indicator it is going to give it a
- 6:52higher weight percentage when it's
- 6:53actually calculating the output and the
- 6:55reason why this is important is because
- 6:58you're going to need need to adjust the
- 7:00weight of these technical indicators for
- 7:03your specific strategy if you don't want
- 7:05to adjust the weight or you don't want
- 7:08to figure that out you don't need to I
- 7:10have the MTF the multi-time frame
- 7:13sentiment the first version it's not
- 7:15really customizable if you want to just
- 7:17plug and play and go you can but it is
- 7:20better and it's more powerful to
- 7:22actually be able to adjust these
- 7:23settings and I have my settings adjusted
- 7:25they're going to look different than
- 7:26yours cuz the defaults are different but
- 7:29I I have weights set specifically for my
- 7:32strategy to give you an understanding of
- 7:35why I have it set up like this my
- 7:37strategy I'm typically looking for
- 7:39reversals now sometimes it's with the
- 7:41trend sometimes it's not with the trend
- 7:44but for the most part I am looking for
- 7:46reversals so to give you an idea on why
- 7:50my settings are set like this so I
- 7:52currently have my EMA weight set to two
- 7:54which is technically 20% of the total I
- 7:57also have my on balance on balance
- 8:00volume set to two which is another 20%
- 8:02of the total the reason why I have it
- 8:04set like this is because it helps me
- 8:06validate moves I'm seeing at key levels
- 8:08I'm looking for and that's just for my
- 8:10strategy right I also have I have the
- 8:13RSI weight set to one which is lower and
- 8:16I also have the Binger band weight set
- 8:18to 1.25 which is lower and the reason
- 8:21for that is since I'm already using
- 8:23footprint charts for my executions I
- 8:25don't really need Binger bands or RSI
- 8:29um to identify like exhaustion or
- 8:32absorption so I just lower the volume on
- 8:34I lower the weight for that right macd I
- 8:37do have it set kind of in a medium
- 8:39weight it's at 1.75 and it just helps me
- 8:42confirm momentum during moves from key
- 8:45levels that I'm looking at and you're
- 8:46going to have to really adjust this for
- 8:48your strategy so are you looking for
- 8:51reversals are you typically you know
- 8:53trading Trend continuations it really
- 8:57just depends right so you can play
- 9:00around with it one thing I like to do is
- 9:02I do like to use AI so you know if you
- 9:05describe this indicator or you go to the
- 9:08publishing page that's in the
- 9:09description below and you copy and paste
- 9:12what the indicator is you give it a chat
- 9:14GPT you explain your strategy and you
- 9:17ask it what settings you should be using
- 9:19it'll give you some settings that you
- 9:21know might make sense and then of course
- 9:23you want to back test it a little bit
- 9:25and the last thing here is just visual
- 9:27settings it is customizable so you you
- 9:29can adjust any of the colors here you
- 9:31can adjust the position of it if you
- 9:33want to be on the top of your chart on
- 9:35the left side of your chart right side
- 9:37Center you can do so and so the idea on
- 9:41how you want to actually use this is you
- 9:44want to use it to confirm the setups
- 9:47that you're taking so let's say you're
- 9:49looking for a long position it would
- 9:51make a lot of sense if the sentiment for
- 9:53all the time frames are bullish you know
- 9:56you're going to take along everything's
- 9:58looking bullish lines up it makes sense
- 10:01vice versa for when you're looking for a
- 10:03short if the sentiment overall for a
- 10:05lower time frame or higher time frame is
- 10:07bearish and you're looking for shorts
- 10:09it's going to make a lot of sense right
- 10:11if you're looking for Longs and
- 10:12everything is bearish it's not going to
- 10:14make much sense you might get lucky sure
- 10:17you're not going to have as much as a
- 10:19continuation move or a bigger move if it
- 10:22Remains the opposite of your position
- 10:24you're basically just trying to utilize
- 10:26this in Confluence with your actual
- 10:28strategy just to make sure you're on the
- 10:30right side of things when you're
- 10:32actually going to make trades and I'll
- 10:34kind of do a quick replay here and show
- 10:36you what it looks like it's a very
- 10:37simple indicator I just wanted to give a
- 10:40quick explanation on how to set it up
- 10:43what it is one thing I also want to
- 10:45mention too is if you load up the
- 10:49indicator and when you load it up it's
- 10:51loading up in a Paine below like a pain
- 10:54down here all you have to do is go to
- 10:56the actual indicator on the bottom pain
- 10:59click the three dots move to existing
- 11:02pain above and then it'll move it to
- 11:03where your chart's at so if that's an
- 11:05issue for you you know you can always
- 11:08just move it up it's very simple to do
- 11:10so I'll give you an example of what this
- 11:12kind of looks like so obviously you know
- 11:14we're in a we had a sell off on Friday
- 11:16it was a pretty big one too so obviously
- 11:18everything is going to be bearish so in
- 11:20a situation like this where everything
- 11:22is bearish it's not likely that you're
- 11:24going to be looking for some long
- 11:25positions right it just wouldn't make a
- 11:27lot of sense you're going to be you're
- 11:28basically trying to go against the
- 11:30current so it's not going to make a lot
- 11:31of sense to do so now let's say we're in
- 11:35a situation like this right where we
- 11:37might flip from bearish into a bullish
- 11:39sentiment so let's watch how the actual
- 11:42indicator here adjusts so we're on a
- 11:445-minute time frame it's calculating the
- 11:475 minute the 15 minute the 30 minute for
- 11:49our lower time frames and it's
- 11:50calculating the 1 hour 4H hour daily and
- 11:53weekly for our higher time frames just
- 11:55so you know what we're basing this off
- 11:57of we're going to be currently looking
- 11:59looking at the 5 minute time frame and
- 12:01we're just going to be watching what it
- 12:02does so as price starts to go lower
- 12:05we're in a bearish situation right
- 12:08you're going to be looking for a
- 12:09continuation until this switches to
- 12:11bullish for lower time frame and higher
- 12:14time frame overall the moment it starts
- 12:15to switch to bullish then of course you
- 12:18could be looking for a reversal but
- 12:20until that happens you don't really want
- 12:22to be looking at long positions or if
- 12:24you do you got to make sure that you're
- 12:26right so now that we're switching into a
- 12:28bullish sentiment obviously any pullback
- 12:30into let's say an imbalance or a fair
- 12:32value Gap or whatever you're looking at
- 12:34support you know you're going to be
- 12:35looking for an entry on the Longs good
- 12:37thing about this indicator and what you
- 12:39can do is you can use it actually to
- 12:41time your exits so let's say you got
- 12:43into a long position down here and price
- 12:46is continuing the moment that you start
- 12:47seeing that the indicator is indicating
- 12:50that you know everything is bearish now
- 12:52you can consider yourself to try and
- 12:54start getting out of this trade
- 12:56otherwise if you put your stop to break
- 12:58even right it's eventually just going to
- 13:00come back and hit your break even if the
- 13:02overall lower time frame and higher time
- 13:04frame remains bearish if you're in a
- 13:06long one of the important things you
- 13:08want to look at when you're actually
- 13:10trading depending on what time frame
- 13:12you're actually trading on is going to
- 13:14be the difference on how you're going to
- 13:16look at this but you want to keep your
- 13:18eye on the higher time frame overall
- 13:20sentiment realistically that is more
- 13:22important when it comes to making
- 13:24decisions the lower time frame
- 13:26sentiments can obviously fake you out
- 13:28you'll find a good way to use it if you
- 13:30want to use it the way I use it is I'm
- 13:33basically looking for the lower time
- 13:35frame and higher time frame overall
- 13:37sentiments to align and then I'm looking
- 13:39for an entry whether it's a fair value
- 13:41Gap or one of my other levels um I use
- 13:44stat map levels I use digital time
- 13:46theory levels and if all lines then of
- 13:49course I am going to take a position and
- 13:51I'm going to continue to Trail my
- 13:53stoploss until the sentiment changes
- 13:55into bearish if I'm going along and vice
- 13:58versa so it's a free indicator you know
- 14:01if you want to play around with it and
- 14:02use it with your strategy you're more
- 14:05than free to do so if you have any
- 14:07questions I'm more than happy to answer
- 14:09them in the comment section below it's a
- 14:11super simple indicator there's not a lot
- 14:13to it except for the settings you want
- 14:16to make sure those are right for your
- 14:17strategy um that could make or break
- 14:20whether or not this is even going to be
- 14:21useful for you is setting up those
- 14:23settings if you have questions on how to
- 14:25do it you can either ask or you can use
