Relative Price Strength (RPS)Relative Price Strength (RPS) is a technical analysis indicator that measures the performance of a specific symbol relative to a benchmark or "Base Symbol".
It's essentially a ratio that compares the price of the specific symbol to the price of the benchmark.
Rising RPS: Indicates that the symbol is outperforming the benchmark.
Falling RPS: Suggests that the symbol is underperforming the benchmark.
RSP is smoothed over a period for better visualization.
Relativevalue
two_leg_spread_returns_zscoreThis script helps assess the relative returns of each leg in a two-legged spread. It shows the z-score of each period's returns, along with a moving average of the difference between the two returns. A negative moving average implies that the second leg is strengthening, on a relative return basis, against the first leg, and vice versa. The inputs are:
- timeframe: the timeframe for the calculations. the default is five minutes.
- leg1_sym: the symbol for the first leg
- leg2_sym: the symbol for the second leg
- ma_length: the length of the moving average. by default it is 48, or the previous four hours, given the default timeframe.
The default symbols are RB and HO, simply as an example of an intercommodity spread.
