Crypto Index Price# Crypto Index Price - Indicator Description
## 📊 What is this indicator?
**Crypto Index Price** is an indicator for creating your own cryptocurrency index based on an equal-weighted portfolio. It allows you to track the overall dynamics of the cryptocurrency market through a composite index of selected assets.
## 🎯 Key Features
- **Up to 20 assets in the index** — create an index from any trading pairs
- **Equal-weighted methodology** — each asset has the same weight in the index
- **Moving average** — optional trend filter for the index
- **Flexible visualization settings** — customizable colors and line thickness
## 📈 How to Use
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane below the chart and shows:
1. **Blue line** — crypto index value
2. **Orange line** (optional) — moving average of the index
### Trading Applications:
- **Identify overall market trend** — if the index is rising, most coins are in an uptrend
- **Divergences** — divergence between your asset and the index may signal local opportunities
- **Signal confirmation** — use the index to confirm trading decisions on individual coins
- **Market condition filter** — trade longs when index is above MA, shorts when below
## ⚙️ Settings
### Assets (Symbols)
- **Asset 1-10** — main cryptocurrencies (default: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, LINK, DOGE, TRX)

## 💡 Recommendations
- For a top coins index, use 5-10 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap
- For an altcoin index, add medium and small coins from your sector
- Use MA to filter false signals and identify the global trend
- Compare individual asset behavior with the index to find anomalies
## ⚠️ Important
The indicator uses equal-weighted methodology — each coin contributes equally regardless of price or market cap. This differs from cap-weighted indices and may provide a different market perspective.
