Correlation Coefficient PRO + Moving Average
Advanced dual-asset correlation indicator with dynamic smoothing
Overview
Correlation Coefficient PRO + MA is a powerful indicator that measures the statistical correlation between the current chart symbol and any secondary instrument in real time. Displayed in a separate window, it gives traders an immediate visual reading of how two assets move in relation to each other — whether they trend together, diverge, or move inversely.
The built-in Moving Average overlay allows you to filter out short-term noise and identify structural shifts in correlation regimes with greater confidence.
How It Works
The indicator calculates the Pearson Correlation Coefficient over a configurable rolling window, comparing the closing prices of the chart symbol against any secondary symbol and timeframe of your choice. The result is plotted as a histogram ranging from −1 to +1:
- +1 → perfect positive correlation (assets move in lockstep)
- 0 → no linear relationship
- −1 → perfect inverse correlation (assets move in opposite directions)
An optional Moving Average (SMA or EMA) is overlaid on the correlation histogram to help identify trend direction and regime changes in the relationship between the two instruments.
Key Features
✅ Universal symbol support — compare any pair, index, commodity, or asset class ✅ Multi-timeframe ready — analyze correlation across different timeframes ✅ Configurable correlation period — adapt the lookback to your trading style ✅ SMA / EMA smoothing — toggle and customize the moving average overlay ✅ Robust data handling — automatically skips missing bars to avoid calculation errors ✅ Clean separate window display — histogram + line, fixed scale from −1 to +1 with zero level reference
