Candle to Indicator Correlation For ThinkOrSwim

[VincentJalapeno]

Is there a way to measure or code how the value of my indicator is correlated to price action?
If price goes up and my indicator value increases, shows a correlation for x indicator.
If price goes up and my indicator value decreases, shows that the indicator is not correlated to current price movement.
Any sort of help with this would be greatly appreciated! I have tried to analyze fractal and supertrend codes to maybe find the information I need, but haven't been able to find anything.

here are 3 versions of what you may be looking for

upper0,
find the the percent change, bar to bar, of a signal and price.
compare them , (price - signal)
plot as squares on a line in the middle of the candles.

thank you very much I appreciate you <3

What would I change in order to change the amount of bars it looks back? I'm using the 2nd study if it helps you, but would it just be inserted a number between () in BarNumber()?
