█ OVERVIEW
The Pine Script is an indicator designed to analyze market signals for institutional and short-term investors. It calculates and plots three main signals: Institutional Signal, Institutional Build, and Short-Term Investor Signal. The script uses a combination of price, volume, and moving average data to generate these signals, which can help traders identify potential buying or selling opportunities.

█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK

The script is structured into several main sections:

1 — Input Parameters
The script does not explicitly define any input parameters, relying on default values for calculations.

2 — Custom Functions
• reference_value(values, length): Retrieves the first non-NA value from a specified number of past values.
• calculate_institutional_and_short_term_signals(low, close, open, volume): Calculates the institutional and short-term investor signals based on price, volume, and moving average data.

3 — Calculations
• Price and Volume Metrics: The script calculates various smoothed price changes, lowest and highest values over different periods, and volume-weighted prices.
• Moving Averages: It computes simple moving averages (SMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA) for different periods.
• RSI Calculation: The script calculates a custom RSI for different periods.
• Signal Generation: It generates the institutional and short-term investor signals based on the calculated metrics.

4 — Plotting
The script plots the three main signals on the chart using the plot function.

The flow of data and logic is as follows:
• The reference_value function is used to find reference values for calculations.
• The calculate_institutional_and_short_term_signals function performs the core calculations and returns the institutional and short-term investor signals.
• The main script calls this function and plots the results.

█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS

1 — reference_value(values, length)
• Purpose: Retrieves the first non-NA value from a specified number of past values.
• Parameters:
• values: An array of values.
• length: The number of past values to consider.
• Return Value: The first non-NA value found or na if no valid value is found.
• Functionality: Iterates through the specified number of past values and returns the first non-NA value.

2 — calculate_institutional_and_short_term_signals(low, close, open, volume)
• Purpose: Calculates the institutional and short-term investor signals based on price, volume, and moving average data.
• Parameters:
• low: Low price series.
• close: Close price series.
• open: Open price series.
• volume: Volume series.
• Return Values:
• institutional_signal: The institutional signal.
• institutional_build: The institutional build signal.
• short_term_investor_signal: The short-term investor signal.
• Functionality:
• Computes various price and volume metrics.
• Calculates moving averages and volume-weighted prices.
• Generates the institutional and short-term investor signals based on these metrics.

█ KEY POINTS AND TECHNIQUES

1 — Advanced Pine Script Features
• Custom Functions: The script defines and uses custom functions to encapsulate complex logic.
• Conditional Statements: Extensive use of iff and if statements to control the flow of calculations.
• Looping Constructs: The for loop in reference_value function to iterate through past values.
• Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): Used to smooth out price and signal changes.
• Volume-Weighted Price (VWP): Calculated to factor in volume in price analysis.
• Custom RSI Calculation: A custom RSI formula is used, which differs from the standard RSI calculation.

2 — Optimization Techniques
• Efficient Data Handling: The reference_value function efficiently finds the first non-NA value without unnecessary computations.
• Smoothed Signals: Using EMAs to smooth out noisy signals for better trend identification.

3 — Unique Approaches
• Combination of Metrics: The script combines multiple metrics (price, volume, moving averages, and custom RSI) to generate comprehensive signals.
• Institutional Build Signal: A unique approach to detect institutional activity by comparing current price levels with historical lows and smoothed price changes.

█ EXTENDED KNOWLEDGE AND APPLICATIONS

1 — Potential Modifications
• Input Parameters: Add input parameters to allow users to customize the lengths and thresholds used in the calculations.
• Strategy Version: Convert the indicator into a strategy by adding buy/sell signals based on the generated signals.
• Additional Indicators: Integrate other technical indicators (e.g., MACD, Bollinger Bands) to enhance the signal generation process.

2 — Similar Trading Scenarios
• Institutional Activity Analysis: Use similar techniques to analyze institutional activity in other markets or assets.
• Volume Analysis: Apply the volume-weighted price and volume analysis to identify significant price movements.
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Extend the script to analyze signals across multiple timeframes for a more robust trading strategy.
