OTC Buy Signal: Name Change & Splits
OTC Buy Signal: Name Change & Splits
This script is a simple event-driven tool designed for traders who monitor OTC equities for corporate actions that may affect price behavior, sentiment, or speculative interest.
The main focus of the script is split activity, with specific logic for forward splits and reverse splits. It is intended to help visually identify situations where a stock may become relevant again after a qualifying event, while also filtering out symbols that have recently undergone reverse splits.
In many OTC names, corporate actions can matter just as much as technical structure.
This script tracks stock split data and applies a basic event filter:
• Forward splits can be treated as buy signals
• Reverse splits are treated as caution events
• A user-defined exclusion period blocks signals after a reverse split
The purpose is to reduce noise and avoid immediately qualifying symbols that may still be in a weaker post-reverse-split phase.
How It Works
The script requests split data directly from TradingView’s corporate actions feed and evaluates the split ratio:
• Ratio greater than 1.0 = forward split
• Ratio less than 1.0 = reverse split
When a reverse split is detected, the script stores the event time and begins an exclusion window based on the number of days selected in settings.
If forward split signals are enabled, a buy signal will only print when the symbol is outside that exclusion period.
Signal Logic
Buy Signal
• Triggered by a forward split event
• Only valid if the chart is outside the reverse split exclusion window
Reverse Split Warning
• Printed when a reverse split occurs
• Used as a visual warning and as the starting point for the exclusion timer
Exclusion Zone
• The chart background is shaded during the exclusion period after a reverse split
• This makes it easier to visually confirm when signals are being suppressed
Visual
• Buy markers below price for qualifying events
• Reverse split markers above price
• Background highlight during the exclusion window
• Alert conditions for both buy signals and reverse split warnings
Important Limitation
This script can detect split events through TradingView’s corporate action data, but it does not automatically detect historical name changes unless those changes are reflected through ticker or corporate action behavior.
Because of that, the script is best understood as a split-based OTC event tracker rather than a full name-change detection system.
Use Cases
This tool may be useful for:
• OTC traders screening for event-driven setups
• Monitoring forward split activity
• Avoiding recent reverse split names
• Building a broader OTC watchlist process
Notes
This is a specialized filter, not a full trading system.
It is best used alongside:
• Manual OTC research
• Corporate action review
• Chart structure and liquidity analysis
• Risk management
As always, event-based setups should be validated with additional context before acting on them.
