This “heatmap” type indicator plots the returned values of the RSI oscillator for all its calculated periods between the values of “StartPeriod” up to “MaxScale”. Each value is colored according to its degree of over-sold (in red) and over-bought (in green).
The ensemble thus forms a cloud of colored dots making it easy to better identify how the market behaves in the different dimensions.
It is thus possible to determine the best opportunities for positions in trend following or mean reversion without wondering what is the best period of observation with respect to the instrument and the timeframe used. .
Many ideas can sprout from the observation of this type of indicator, I let you work 🙂
Idea came from another indicator development from that topic.

iPeriod=max(startperiod,iPeriod+Step) //increase indicator period for next loop iteration
wend
return startperiod,maxscale

I tried to use it (with prorealtime version 11 - end of day version). I receive an error message regardind an infinite loop or too much iteractions. I tried decreasing the end period of the loop, but the error message still remains. I'm not able to find a solution, has anyone the same problem? thanks in advance
Very intresting! Thanks Nicolas
Hallo Nicolas, i tried to code the multi period heat map in combination with the Ehler’s market mode. https://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-indicators/market-mode/ The code it self is easy to realize, but I see different results by - Calculation the market mode by using a single period for example 20 - Calculation the heat map by using while loop Same I see by calculation other indicators. All are using band pass filter with look back days. I expect that the look back days [1] [2] [3] in combination with the while loop are causing the problem. It would be very helpful, if you could have a look for these problem. Many thanks in advance. Best regards Hasardeur
