Know Sure Thing (KST), developed by Martin Pring, combines four smoothed rate-of-change measurements into one momentum oscillator. Its standard calculation uses several lookback lengths on the same chart series; that does not make it a multi-timeframe data request.
In Pine Script, series float combines a numeric type, float, with the strongest value qualifier, series. It describes a floating-point value that may vary across executions; it does not require the value to change on every bar.
ta.valuewhen(condition, source, occurrence) returns the source value from a selected occurrence of a true condition. Occurrence zero is the latest matching bar, including the current bar if its condition is true.
Pine Script is TradingView's domain-specific programming language for indicators, strategies, and reusable libraries. It is its own language, with a time-series execution model and APIs designed for TradingView data and charts.
A rejected order needs the exact broker or platform error message before it can be diagnosed. An order that remains open, expires, or is canceled has a different lifecycle from a rejected request, even when none produces a fill.
If TradingView appears ten minutes behind, check the data status for the exact symbol before changing your plan. An exchange-delayed feed, a candle labeled with its opening time, and a chart that has stopped refreshing can look similar. They require different fixes.
A paid TradingView plan does not automatically include paid exchange data. TradingView explicitly separates those charges in its market-data subscription guide.
Williams Accumulation/Distribution (WAD) is a cumulative price-based indicator. It uses the current bar's high, low, and close together with the previous close. It does not use volume or identify which participants bought and sold.
Williams %R measures where the current close lies within a recent high-low range. Values near zero place the close near the range high; values near −100 place it near the range low. Those positions do not by themselves predict a reversal.
Wisesheets and Pineify offer overlapping ways to research companies, but their workflows differ. Wisesheets supports spreadsheets, an API, and AI connectors; Pineify offers a conversational research workspace with financial-data tools and separate trading-code workflows.
The traditional Zweig Breadth Thrust is a rapid change in market breadth: a ten-day EMA of advancing issues divided by advancing plus declining issues moves from below 0.40 to above 0.615 within ten trading days. A cross above 0.615 by itself is not the full event.
