1. Overview

Files ending in .indicator declare a study() (or indicator()) that only plots values. Files ending in .strategy declare a strategy() that also places strategy.entry orders on crossover rules:

TimeSeriesMomentumEffect.strategy is a larger draft: it lists 60 futures contracts, measures each one’s return over 12 × 21 bars, goes long winners and short losers, and sizes positions with a volatility target and a leverage cap.

3. Getting started

There is nothing to install. The README’s steps are:

1. Log in to TradingView and open the Pine Editor tab at the bottom of a chart.
2. Copy the contents of a .indicator or .strategy file from this repository and paste it into the editor.
3. Click Add to Chart (and Save to keep the script under a name).
4. Use the gear icon next to the script label to change lengths, sources, levels and colours.

4. Repository guide

• *.indicator (and ema.indcator): plotting-only versions of EMA, linear regression, MACD, RSI, RVI and standard deviation.
• *.strategy: trading versions with entry rules for EMA, SMA crossover (mac), MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, linear regression, RVI and standard deviation.
• TimeSeriesMomentumEffect.strategy: multi-asset time-series momentum draft.
• README.md: list of techniques and the TradingView setup steps.
• docs/about.md: placeholder page with a heading only.

5. Features

• eight classic technical techniques, most available as both an indicator and a strategy;
• adjustable inputs (input()) for every length, multiplier and threshold;
• chart overlays: bands, moving averages, signal lines and overbought/oversold levels;
• a written-out time-series momentum idea with volatility targeting.

6. Limits

• Most files target Pine Script v4. mac.strategy declares @version=5 but uses v4 calls, and ema.indcator declares @version=4 but uses v5 calls (indicator, input.int, ta.ema); either version header needs changing before they compile.
• standarddeviation.strategy compares close with close ± std; since the bands always sit on either side of the close, the crossover conditions never fire and the strategy places no trades as written.
• TimeSeriesMomentumEffect.strategy uses syntax that Pine does not accept (brace-delimited functions, length() on arrays), so it reads as pseudocode rather than a runnable script.
• The README calls RVI the “Relative Volatility Index”, but the code computes the Relative Vigor Index; mac.strategy is not listed in the README, and ema.indcator has a typo in its extension.
• Strategies enter and reverse on opposite signals (only mac.strategy closes instead); there are no stops, position sizing or commission settings, and the repository contains no backtest results.
