How each ranking is compiled, and how to use it
About the reviews
Vowars analyzes and breaks down community-built indicators published on TradingView against its own criteria, then publishes the results as review articles. This page organizes those articles into rankings, so use it as a guide for finding the indicator that fits what you are trying to do.
Rankings by period (based on page views)
Compiled from actual article views. Indicators near the top of the shorter windows are the ones that suit current market conditions, or simply the ones people are talking about right now. Indicators that hold their place across the longer windows are the staples that stay useful whatever the season.
Rankings by category (by purpose)
Grouped by the role an indicator plays. Looking for something to trade with the trend? Start with Trend and Momentum. Timing a reversal? Oscillator and Reversal. Need confirmation behind a move? Volume. When you already know what you need, this is the shortest route to it.
Rankings by rating (overall score)
Ordered by the star rating shown at the top of each review. Because it is compiled independently of view counts, indicators that are little known but genuinely capable tend to rise here. It is the place to look when you are after the useful tools that stay hidden.
About the Vowars star rating (five criteria)
The star rating on each review is an overall guide drawn from scores on the five criteria below.
[Effectiveness] How fully it delivers what its author set out to do
[Originality] Whether it brings a perspective, structure or presentation existing indicators lack
[Clarity] Whether you can read what it tells you, once it is on the chart, without misreading it
[Flexibility] Whether it can be fitted to your instrument, timeframe and style of trading
[Reliability] Whether you can take what is on screen at face value and act on it
The overall score is the average of the five, which carry equal weight. Points come off only in a small number of defined cases, such as a gap between what the author describes and what the indicator actually does.
Note: an indicator built for a narrow purpose will score lower for that reason. That is a characteristic rather than a weakness, and in the situations it was designed for it will outperform general-purpose alternatives.
The bands for each criterion, the cases that draw a deduction and how the overall score is calculated are all published on our Rating Standards page.
Rankings by difficulty
This is not a measure of quality. It groups indicators by how much prior knowledge is needed to handle them.
[Beginner] Works largely as intended on its default settings.
[Intermediate] Assumes you understand what the parameters mean and will adjust them.
[Advanced] Requires combining it with other tools, or understanding a concept unique to it.
