Library "KCInstitutionalCore"
Reusable Pine Script v6 utilities for timeframe context, score grading, premium/discount classification, alignment, risk-to-reward and position-size calculations. Designed as a transparent helper library for indicators and strategies.
clamp(value, minimum, maximum)
Restricts a numeric value to the supplied minimum and maximum boundaries.
Parameters:
value (float): Value to restrict.
minimum (float): Lower boundary.
maximum (float): Upper boundary.
Returns: The restricted value.
scoreToGrade(score)
Converts a numeric score into a concise quality grade.
Parameters:
score (float): Score expressed on a 0–100 scale.
Returns: A grade string from AA to D.
normalizeScore(rawScore, maximumScore)
Normalizes a raw score to a 0–100 scale.
Parameters:
rawScore (float): Current raw score.
maximumScore (float): Maximum possible raw score.
Returns: Normalized score from 0 to 100, or na when maximumScore is not positive.
rangeLocation(price, rangeHigh, rangeLow)
Classifies the current price inside a supplied dealing range.
Parameters:
price (float): Current or evaluated price.
rangeHigh (float): Upper boundary of the range.
rangeLow (float): Lower boundary of the range.
Returns: A tuple containing PREMIUM, DISCOUNT, or EQUILIBRIUM and the 0–100 range percentage.
riskReward(entry, stop, target)
Calculates reward-to-risk from entry, stop and target prices.
Parameters:
entry (float): Entry price.
stop (float): Stop-loss price.
target (float): Target price.
Returns: Absolute reward-to-risk ratio, or na when the stop distance is zero.
positionSize(accountSize, riskPercent, entry, stop, pointValue)
Estimates position size from account risk and stop distance.
Parameters:
accountSize (float): Account balance or planning capital.
riskPercent (float): Percentage of account risked.
entry (float): Entry price.
stop (float): Stop-loss price.
pointValue (float): Monetary value per price point for one unit.
Returns: Estimated units or lots according to the supplied pointValue, or na for invalid inputs.
tradeStyle(chartSeconds)
Maps chart duration in seconds to a general planning style.
Parameters:
chartSeconds (float): Chart timeframe duration in seconds, normally supplied with timeframe.in_seconds().
Returns: SCALP, INTRADAY, SWING, or POSITION.
adaptiveTimeframes(chartSeconds)
Suggests two broader context timeframes from the chart duration.
Parameters:
chartSeconds (float): Chart timeframe duration in seconds, normally supplied with timeframe.in_seconds().
Returns: A tuple containing primary and secondary context timeframe strings.
alignmentState(localBias, htfBias, mtfBias)
Summarizes local, higher-timeframe and multi-timeframe directional agreement.
Parameters:
localBias (int): Local direction: 1 bullish, -1 bearish, 0 neutral.
htfBias (int): Higher-timeframe direction: 1 bullish, -1 bearish, 0 neutral.
mtfBias (int): Broader alignment direction: 1 bullish, -1 bearish, 0 neutral.
Returns: BULL ALIGNED, BEAR ALIGNED, PARTIAL, CONFLICT, or NEUTRAL.
executionBlocker(direction, htfBias, mtfBias, location, structureConfirmed, liquidityConfirmed, newsBlocked)
Returns the first material execution blocker in a transparent priority order.
Parameters:
direction (int): Intended direction: 1 long, -1 short, 0 neutral.
htfBias (int): Higher-timeframe direction: 1 bullish, -1 bearish, 0 neutral.
mtfBias (int): Multi-timeframe direction: 1 bullish, -1 bearish, 0 neutral.
location (string): PREMIUM, DISCOUNT, or EQUILIBRIUM.
structureConfirmed (bool): True when the required structure event is confirmed.
liquidityConfirmed (bool): True when the required liquidity event is confirmed.
newsBlocked (bool): True when a manual news blackout is active.
Returns: A concise blocker description, or CLEAR when no listed blocker is active.
KCInstitutionalCore is a reusable Pine Script v6 utility library created to support structured technical-analysis workflows without duplicating common helper logic across multiple indicators and strategies.
The library provides transparent and independently reusable functions for:
- Score normalization and trade-quality grading
- Premium, Discount and Equilibrium classification
- Risk-to-reward calculation
- Risk-based position-size estimation
- Timeframe-aware trading-style classification
- Adaptive higher-timeframe selection
- Directional alignment analysis
- Execution-blocker identification
The exported functions are deterministic utilities. They do not generate guaranteed trading signals, predict future price movement or execute trades.
