Mansfield Relative Strength (Original Version) by stageanalysisThe Mansfield Relative Strength ( Mansfield RS ) is one of the core components of the Stan Weinstein's Stage Analysis method as discussed in his classic book Stan Weinstein's Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets .
The Mansfield RS measures the relative performance of the stock compared to an index such as the S&P 500, or to another stock etc.
However, this should not to be confused with the popular RSI (Relative Strength Index developed J. Welles Wilder), which is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements on a single stock.
The Mansfield RS indicator consists of the Relative Strength comparison line versus the S&P 500 (default universal setting, but can be edited), and the "Zero Line" – which is the 52 week MA of the Relative Strength line, that's been flattened to create the oscillator style.
How to use the Indicator:
Outperforming – Above the Zero Line
When the Relative Strength line crosses above the Zero Line (it's flattened 52 week RS MA), it is outperforming the index or stock that it's comparing against, and so it is showing stronger relative strength.
Underperforming – Below the Zero Line
When the Relative Strength line crosses below the Zero Line (it's flattened 52 week RS MA), it is underperforming the index or stock that it's comparing against, and so it is showing weaker relative strength.
Settings:
When you first add the indicator is has a coloured background, with a green tint for a postive RS score, and a red tint for a negative RS score. However, this can be turned off, or edited in the indicator settings, in the Style tab. So you can change the colors or remove it and just have the RS line and zero line showing. Both of which can also be edited in the settings.
Change the symbol that it compares against. The default is the S&P 500. But for crypto you might want to use Bitcoin for example. Or you might want to compare against competing stocks in the same peer group, or against the industry group or sector. The choice is yours. But the S&P 500 is a universal measure for the Mansfield RS. So I would recommend leaving it on that unless you have a particular reason to change it as mentioned.
MA Length is also an editable setting. This creates the Zero Line. So it will affect the values of the Mansfield RS if you change it. 52 is the default setting, and is set as such for the weekly chart. So I'd recommend not editing it on the weekly chart, but for other timeframes, different settings can be used.
Candle Strength based on Relative Strength of EMAOverview:
The EMA-Based Relative Strength Labels indicator provides a dynamic method to visualize the strength of price movements relative to an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). By comparing the current price to the EMA, it assigns labels (A, B, C for bullish and X, Y, Z for bearish) to candles, indicating the intensity of bullish or bearish behavior.
Key Features:
Dynamic EMA Comparison: The indicator calculates the difference between the current price and the EMA, expressing it as a percentage to determine relative strength.
Configurable Thresholds: Users can set custom thresholds for strong, moderate, and low bullish or bearish movements, allowing for tailored analysis based on personal trading strategy or market behavior.
Clear Visual Labels: Each candle is labeled directly on the chart, making it easy to spot significant price movements at a glance.
Usage:
Trend Confirmation: The labels help confirm the prevailing trend's strength, aiding traders in decision-making regarding entry or exit points.
Risk Management: By identifying the strength of the price movements, traders can better manage stop-loss placements and avoid potential false breakouts.
Strategy Development: Incorporate the indicator into trading systems to enhance strategies that depend on trend strength and momentum.
How It Works:
The script calculates the EMA of the closing prices and measures the relative strength of each candle to this average.
Bullish candles above the EMA and bearish candles below the EMA are further analyzed to determine their strength based on predefined percentage thresholds.
Labels 'A', 'B', and 'C' are assigned for varying degrees of bullish strength, while 'X', 'Y', and 'Z' denote levels of bearish intensity.
Customization:
Users can adjust the EMA period and modify the strength thresholds for both bullish and bearish conditions to suit different instruments and timeframes.
Best Practices:
Combine this indicator with volume analysis and other technical tools for comprehensive market analysis.
Regularly update the thresholds based on market volatility and personal risk tolerance to maintain the effectiveness of the labels.
Price Relative / Relative StrengthThe Price Relative indicator compares the performance of one security to another. This indicator can be used to compare the performance of a stock against a benchmark index, such as the S&P 500, or its sector/industry group. This makes it possible to determine if a stock is leading or lagging its peers.
The Price Relative is used to gauge relative strength, which is important when it comes to stock selection. Many portfolio managers compare their performance to a benchmark, such as the S&P 500. Their goal is to outperform that benchmark. In order to achieve this goal, managers often look for stocks that are showing relative strength. Enter the Price Relative. The Price Relative rises when a stock shows relative strength and is outperforming its benchmark. Conversely, the Price Relative falls when a stock shows relative weakness and is underperforming its benchmark.

Forex Relative Strength MatrixTraders often feel uncertain about which Forex pair to open a position with. This indicator is designed to help in that regard.
This indicator was created as described in the book Swing Trading with Heiken Ashi and Stochastics. In the original, the author suggests using it for swing trading. The author recommends applying it to a monthly chart with an 8-period moving average to analyze the context.
The logic of the indicator is to measure the relative strength of each currency by checking if the price of each Forex pair is above or below a chosen moving average. If the price is above the moving average, the base currency is awarded 1 point, indicating strength. If below, it scores 0, indicating weakness. By accumulating points across multiple pairs, the indicator ranks currencies from strongest to weakest, helping traders identify potential pairs for trading.
Trend Identification:
After identifying relative strength, the trader should observe the general trend using a 100-period SMA on 4-hour charts. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is bullish; if below, it is bearish.
Buy Logic:
A buy is triggered when the base currency is strong (price is above the moving average) and the quote currency is weak (price is below the moving average). After identifying the trend direction, the entry is confirmed by a color change in Heiken Ashi candles (from red to green in an uptrend) and a stochastic crossover in the trend’s direction.
Sell Logic:
A sell is triggered when the base currency is weak (price is below the moving average) and the quote currency is strong (price is above the moving average). The sell entry is confirmed by a color change in Heiken Ashi candles (from green to red in a downtrend) and a stochastic crossover aligned with the trend.
Entry Chart:
The entry chart used is the 4-hour chart. The trader should look for entry signals following a pullback in the trend direction, using Heiken Ashi candles. Entry is made when the Heiken Ashi candles change color (from red to green in an uptrend) and there is a smooth crossover of the stochastic indicator in the trend’s direction.
It would also be possible to adapt the indicator for day trading strategies with targets of 1 to 2 days. Here is a recommended setup:
Relative Strength Identification (1-Hour Chart):
Instead of monthly charts, use a 1-hour chart to identify currency strength with a 20-period moving average.
The 20-period moving average on the 1-hour chart captures a balanced view of short- to medium-term direction, covering nearly a day’s worth of trading but with enough sensitivity for day trading.
General Trend (5-Minute Chart with 100 SMA):
On the 5-minute chart, observe the 100-period SMA to identify the general trend direction throughout the day.
Price above the 100 SMA indicates an uptrend, and below indicates a downtrend, confirming the movement in shorter timeframes.
Entry Chart and Signals (5-Minute Chart):
Use the 15-minute chart to look for entry opportunities, focusing on pullbacks in the main trend direction.
Entry Signals: Enter the position when Heiken Ashi candles change color in the trend direction (from red to green in an uptrend) and the stochastic indicator makes a smooth crossover in the trend’s direction.

Dow Factor Relative Strength IndexThis script was written to create a new, rapid relative strength index inspired by the Dow Theory.
More info about Dow Theory : www.investopedia.com
According to the Dow Theory, volume should confirm market trends.
The correlation coefficient between prices and volume is negative in weakening trends and negative trends , positive in strengthening or positive trends.a factor was formed based on the correlation coefficient between volume and prices.
This factor was added to the relative strength index.
Period 5 is selected because the volume is very volatile and can be slow.
You can use the period you want, but I recommend the period as a minimum of 5.
It is suitable for all instruments and timeframes and thanks to its design, it provides control over gradual buying and selling points.
I haven't fully tested it, it's open to updates. For now, just use it to create ideas.

Sectors Relative Strength Normal DistributionI wrote this indicator as an attempt to see the Relative Strengths of different sectors in the same scale, but there is also other ways to do that.
This indicator plots the normal distribution for the 10 sectors of the SPY for the last X bars of the selected resolution, based on the selected comparative security. It shows which sectors are outperforming and underperforming the SPY (or any other security) relatively to each other by the given deviation.
market relative strengthOverview
market relative strength is a custom indicator that visualizes how strong or weak a given asset is compared to a selected market benchmark — such as KOSPI, NASDAQ100, BTC dominance, or total crypto market cap.
How It Works
The indicator calculates the relative return between the current asset and the selected benchmark over a user-defined period. It then normalizes the difference into a 0–100 score:
Above 50 = outperforming the market
Below 50 = underperforming the market
Above 70 / Below 30 = strong divergence from market trend
Use Case
This is ideal for identifying assets with strong relative performance, detecting trend leaders or laggards, and rotating positions between sectors or assets based on strength.
Customization
Choose from a list of market indexes or crypto metrics
Set the comparison period and normalization range
Visual cues with background shading for strong/weak zones
Note
This is not the same as RSI. This indicator is based on relative performance to a benchmark, not price momentum.
Linear Regression Relative Strength[image/x/iZvwDWEY/
Relative Strength indicator comparing the current symbol to SPY (or any other benchmark). It may help to pick the right assets to complement the portfolio build around core ETFs such as SPY.
The general idea is to show if the current symbol outperforms or underperforms the benchmark (SPY by default) when bought some certain time ago. Relative performance is displayed as percent and is calculated for three different time ranges - short (1 mo by default), mid (1 quarter), and long (half a year). To smooth the volatility, the script uses linear regression to estimate the trend and takes the start and the end points of the linear regression line to compute the relative strength.
It is important to remember that the script shows the gain relative to SPY (or other selected benchmark), not the asset's gain. Therefore, it may indicate that the asset is profitable, but it still may lose value if SPY is in downtrend.
Therefore, it is crucial to check other indicators before making a decision. In the example above, standard linear regression for one quarter is used to indicate the direction of the trend.
RS.ROC | Relative Strength - Rate of Changes - 4CR CUPFor completeness of Relative Strength studies, the Relative Strength based on rate of changes (ROC) with weighting is coded and presented as well.
The RS.ROC is similar to the formulation of RS by IBD before rank among all the stocks in the market.
The lookback period is relaxed for customizing. Once you set the total lookback period, representing the 4Q, in the indicator, the other shorter lookback periods will be auto-calculated, namely, 1Q, 2Q, 3Q.
A simple moving average of the RS.ROC is also added for your easier analysis on the trend development of the strength.

RSRS (Resistance Support Relative Strength)The Resistance Support Relative Strength (RSRS) indicator, published by Everbright Securities, is a technical analysis tool that enjoys immense popularity among Chinese quantitative traders, owing to its stellar performance in China's stock markets.
🟠 Principle
The indicator treats daily highs and lows as resistance and support levels respectively. It measures market strength by comparing the magnitude of price changes in daily highs versus lows. Specifically, it fits a linear regression model to the (low, high) data points over the past N days (typically 18) and uses the slope (beta) as the RSRS value. A steeper slope indicates stronger market strength.
🟠 Algorithm
1. Collect the daily low and high prices over the past N days.
2. Apply Ordinary Least Squares to estimate the linear regression model: high = alpha + beta * low. The beta is the RSRS value.
3. Compute the z-score of the RSRS over the past M days (typically 600).
4. Compare the z-score to preset buy and sell thresholds (typically 0.7 and -0.7) to generate trading signals. If z-score > buy threshold, a buy signal is triggered. If z-score < sell threshold, a sell signal is triggered.

Advanced Relative Strength Analysis
The standout feature of this indicator is its comprehensive 8-metric relative strength scoring system that compares your current ticker against both QQQ (Nasdaq-100) and SPY (S&P 500) benchmarks.
The 4-Metric Relative Strength System Explained
Metric 1: Relative Strength Ratio (RSR)
Purpose: Measures whether your ticker is outperforming or underperforming relative to its historical relationship with the benchmarks.
How it works:
Calculates the ratio of your ticker's price to QQQ/SPY prices
Compares current ratio to a 20-period moving average of the ratio
Scores +1 if ratio is above average (relative strength), -1 if below (relative weakness)
Trading significance: Identifies when a stock is breaking out of its normal correlation pattern with major indices.
Metric 2: Percentage-Based Relative Performance
Purpose: Compares short-term percentage changes to identify immediate relative momentum.
How it works:
Calculates 5-day percentage change for your ticker and benchmarks
Subtracts benchmark performance from ticker performance
Scores +1 if outperforming by >1%, -1 if underperforming by >1%, 0 for neutral
Trading significance: Captures recent momentum shifts and identifies stocks moving independently of market direction.
Metric 3: Beta-Adjusted Relative Strength (Alpha)
Purpose: Measures risk-adjusted performance by accounting for the ticker's natural volatility relationship with benchmarks.
How it works:
Calculates rolling beta (correlation and variance relationship)
Determines expected returns based on benchmark moves and beta
Measures alpha (excess returns above/below expectations)
Scores based on whether alpha is consistently positive or negative
Trading significance: Identifies stocks generating returns beyond what their risk profile would suggest, indicating fundamental strength or weakness.
Metric 4: Volume-Weighted Relative Strength
Purpose: Incorporates volume analysis to validate price-based relative strength signals.
How it works:
Compares VWAP-based percentage changes between ticker and benchmarks
Applies volume weighting factor based on relative volume strength
Enhances score when high relative volume confirms price movements
Trading significance: Distinguishes between genuine institutional-driven moves and low-volume price action that may not sustain.
Combined Scoring System
The indicator generates 8 individual scores (4 metrics × 2 benchmarks) that combine into a single strength assessment:
Score Interpretation
Strong (4-8 points): Ticker significantly outperforming both benchmarks across multiple methodologies
Moderate Strong (1-3 points): Ticker showing good relative strength with some mixed signals
Neutral (0 points): Balanced performance relative to benchmarks
Moderate Weak (-1 to -3 points): Ticker showing relative weakness with some mixed signals
Weak (-4 to -8 points): Ticker significantly underperforming both benchmarks
Display Format
The indicator shows results as: "Strong (6/8)" indicating the ticker scored 6 out of 8 possible points.

Real Relative Strength Indicator (Multi-Index Comparison)The Real Relative Strength (RRS) indicator implements the "Real Relative Strength" equation, as detailed on the Real Day Trading subreddit wiki. This equation measures whether a stock is outperforming a benchmark (such as SPY or any preferred ETF/index) by calculating price change normalized by the Average True Range (ATR) of both the stock and the indices it’s being compared to.
The RRS metric often highlights potential accumulation by institutional players. For example, in this chart, you can observe accumulation in McDonald’s beginning at 1:25 pm ET on the 5-minute chart and continuing until 2:55 pm ET. When used in conjunction with other indicators or technical analysis, RRS can provide valuable buy and sell signals.
This indicator also supports multi-index analysis, allowing you to plot relative strength against two indices simultaneously—defaulting to SPY and QQQ—to gain insights into the "real relative strength" across different benchmarks. Additionally, this indicator includes an EMA line and background coloring to help automatically identify relative strength trends, providing a clearer visualization than typical Relative Strength Comparison indicators.
CANSLIM IBD Relative Strength NIFTYSMLCAP250 (Daily & Weekly)This Pine Script (written in version 5) is designed to calculate the IBD Relative Strength for both daily and weekly timeframes, comparing the current chart's security to the NIFTY SMLCAP 250 index. Here's a breakdown of the code:
1. Indicator Initialization: This line sets up the indicator with both a short and full title. The overlay=true means the plot will be drawn on top of the price chart.
2. Fetching Data: This fetches the daily ("D") and weekly ("W") close prices for the NIFTY SMLCAP 250 index.
3. Relative Strength Calculation: Relative strength is calculated as the ratio of the security's current close price to the close price of the NIFTY SMLCAP 250, multiplied by 100 for both daily and weekly timeframes.
4. Timeframe-Based Selection: Here, the script checks whether the chart is in daily or weekly mode and selects the corresponding relative strength value.
5. Scaling with Multiplier: This section ensures there are at least 60 bars of data and scales the relative strength by using a multiplier derived from the 60th previous bar's close price.
6. Plotting: Finally, the scaled relative strength is plotted on the chart in black.
Improvements :
Dynamic Timeframe Handling: You might want to extend this for other timeframes, e.g., monthly.
Customization: You can add user input parameters to adjust the timeframe, scale factor, or period dynamically.
Color Enhancements: You can add color variation to indicate strength/weakness more clearly.
Normalized Relative Strength LineNormalized Relative Strength Line Indicator
Overview
The "Normalized Relative Strength Line" indicator measures the relative performance of a stock compared to a benchmark index (e.g., NSE
). This indicator helps traders and investors identify whether a stock is outperforming or underperforming the selected benchmark over a specified lookback period. The values are normalized to a range of -100 to +100 for easy interpretation.
Key Features
Comparison Symbol: Users can select a benchmark index or any other comparison symbol to measure relative performance.
Lookback Period: A user-defined period for normalization, typically set to a number of trading days (e.g., 252 days for one year).
Relative Strength Calculation: The indicator calculates the percentage change in price for both the stock and the comparison symbol from the start of the lookback period.
Normalization: The relative strength values are normalized to a range of -100 to +100 to facilitate comparison and visualization.
Smoothing: An optional 14-period simple moving average (SMA) is applied to the normalized relative strength line for a smoother representation of trends.
Interpretation
Positive Values (+100 to 0): When the normalized relative strength (RS) line is above 0, it indicates that the stock is outperforming the comparison symbol. Higher values signify stronger outperformance.
Negative Values (0 to -100): When the normalized RS line is below 0, it indicates that the stock is underperforming the comparison symbol. Lower values signify stronger underperformance.
Horizontal Line at 0: The horizontal line at 0 serves as a reference point. Crossing this line from below indicates a shift from underperformance to outperformance, and crossing from above indicates a shift from outperformance to underperformance.
Crossovers: The points where the RS line crosses the moving average (red line) can signal potential changes in relative performance trends.
Example Use Case
If the normalized RS line of a stock consistently remains around +100, it suggests that the stock has been strongly outperforming the comparison symbol over the selected lookback period. Conversely, if it remains around -100, it suggests strong underperformance.
XY RSI - Relative strength IndexThis script is for Forex combinations of the following currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, AUD, NZD, CAD
- It uses security function to get 28 currency pairs, so that it may cost a few seconds to paint.
- It displays two currencies RSI index based on the chart. For example, the chart is GBPCHF, then the green line is for GBP, the red line is for CHF.
You can compare currency index (DXY, EXY, BXY, JXY, AXY, CXY, SXY, ZXY) chart on your main chart by youself to get more views on relative strength.
Equilibrium Price for Relative StrengthPlot of equilibrium price of Relative Strength.
Instead of the RS ratio, this is the plot of the price that will make the RS ratio equal to zero, we call this the equilibrium price.
About the equilibrium price plot:
- When the plot is below the symbol price plot, it means stock is performing above the benchmark
- When the plot is above the symbol price plot, it means stock is underperforming in comparison to the benchmark
- When the plot is close (or equal) to the symbol price plot, it means that RS is near the zero line, either crossing over or crossing below
The latest equilibrium is displayed over the plot. This gives a visual and quantitative idea of how far above or below the equilibrium price is in comparison to the current price.
In the above example, we see that HDFC Bank which was performing above the benchmark (trading above equilibrium price) whipsawed a lot (price near equilibrium price), before swaying down during the COVID-19 fall in the market (price is trading below the equilibrium price) . Currently, the equilibrium price is 1136, but HDFC Bank is trading below this price at 1033, around 100 points below.
