Smart Trader, Episode 02, by Ata Sabanci | Battle of Candles ⚠️ CRITICAL: READ BEFORE USING ⚠️
This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED and requires Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data for accurate calculations. Please understand the following limitations before using:
📊 DATA ACCURACY LEVELS:
• 1T (Tick) — Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick
• 1S (1 Second) — Reasonably accurate approximation
• 15S (15 Seconds) — Good approximation, longer historical data available
• 1M (1 Minute) — Rough approximation, maximum historical data range
⚠️ BACKTEST & REPLAY LIMITATIONS:
• Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability
• For longer back test periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M)
• Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data
• Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks
💡 A NOTE ON TOOLS:
Successful trading requires proper tools. Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable signals. Consider this when evaluating your trading infrastructure.
📌 OVERVIEW
Smart Trader Episode 02: Battle of Candles is an advanced educational indicator that combines multiple analysis engines to help traders identify market scenarios and understand market dynamics. This is NOT financial advice or a trading signal service — it's a learning tool designed to help you understand how institutional traders might interpret price action.
The indicator integrates 7 major analysis engines into a unified dashboard, providing real-time insights into volume flow, trend structure, market phases, and potential trade setups.
⚡ KEY FEATURES
🎯 16-Pattern Scenario Engine
Automatically detects and classifies market conditions into 16 distinct scenarios, from strong continuation moves to potential reversals and traps.
💰 Trade Advisor Panel
Aggregates all signals into actionable suggestions with confidence levels, suggested entry/SL/TP levels, and risk/reward calculations.
📊 Volume Engine
Splits volume into buy/sell components using either Geometry (candle shape) or Intrabar (LTF data) methods for precise delta analysis.
📈 CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure to identify accumulation, distribution, and divergences.
🎯 Stop-Hunt Detection
Identifies potential stop-hunt patterns where price sweeps liquidity levels before reversing.
📐 Pure Structure Trend Engine
Zero-lag trend detection based on swing highs/lows (HH/HL/LH/LL) without any lagging indicators.
⚡ Effort vs Result Analysis
Measures energy spent (volume) versus ground taken (price movement) to detect stalls, breakthroughs, and exhaustion.
🎯 SCENARIO ENGINE — 16 Market Patterns
The Scenario Engine analyzes multiple factors (candle anatomy, volume, forces, CVD, wick analysis) to classify each candle into one of 16 scenarios:
Continuation Scenarios (1-3)
1. ⚔️ STRONG MOVE — Big body candle (>60%) with volume confirming direction. Indicates strong momentum continuation.
2. 🛡️ ABSORPTION — One side attacks but the other absorbs the pressure. Price holds despite volume. Continuation expected in the absorbing side's favor.
3. 📉 PULLBACK — Small move against the trend with low volume. Indicates a healthy retracement before trend continuation.
Reversal Scenarios (4-6, 13-16)
4. 💥 REJECTION — Big wick (>40%) with small body and high volume. Price was rejected
at a level, potential reversal.
5. 🪤 TRAP — Pin direction disagrees with delta. Extreme wick size. Looks bullish/bearish but the opposite may happen.
6. 😫 EXHAUSTION — High energy spent (volume) but low ground taken (price movement). Both sides active but momentum fading.
13. 🔄 CVD BULL DIV — Price falling but CVD rising. Hidden buying detected (accumulation). Potential bullish reversal.
14. 🔄 CVD BEAR DIV — Price rising but CVD falling. Hidden selling detected (distribution). Potential bearish reversal.
15. 🎯 STOP HUNT BULL — Shorts were liquidated below support. Price swept liquidity and reversed. Expect bullish move.
16. 🎯 STOP HUNT BEAR — Longs were liquidated above resistance. Price swept liquidity and reversed. Expect bearish move.
Range/Stalemate Scenarios (7-9)
7. ⚖️ DEADLOCK — Market in balance. Force ratio between 0.4-0.6. Low volume. No side winning.
8. 🔥 BATTLE — High volume fight in a range. Both sides attacking. Wicks on both ends of candle.
9. 🎯 WAITING — Building phase with quiet volume. Market is preparing but no trigger yet. Wait for breakout.
Pre-Breakout Scenarios (10-12)
10. 🚀 BULL SETUP — Buyers accumulating in a building phase. Positive delta building. Bullish pressure growing.
11. 💣 BEAR SETUP — Sellers distributing in a building phase. Negative delta building. Bearish pressure growing.
12. ⚡ BREAKOUT — Price at boundary with strong candle and volume supporting. Imminent breakout expected.
💰 TRADE ADVISOR ENGINE
The Trade Advisor aggregates all signals from the different engines into a single actionable output. It uses a weighted scoring system:
Scoring Weights:
• Scenario Signal: 30%
• Trend Alignment: 20%
• CVD Momentum: 15% + Divergence Bonus
• Pin Forces: 15%
• Liquidity Sweep: 12%
• Stop-Hunt Detection: 10%
• Effort vs Result: 10%
Possible Actions:
• ⏳ WAIT — Edge not strong enough (stay patient)
• 🟢 LONG ENTRY — Buyers have strong advantage + signals align
• 🔴 SHORT ENTRY — Sellers have strong advantage + signals align
• ⚠️ CLOSE LONG/SHORT — Position at risk (reversal/trend flip)
• 🛑 STOP LOSS — Price hit risk threshold
• 💰 TAKE PROFIT — Target threshold reached
📊 EXTENDED INFO PANEL (Detailed Explanations)
The Extended Info panel is hidden by default (toggle: Show Extended Info in settings). It provides detailed metrics that feed into the main engines:
CVD ANALYSIS
What is CVD?
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is the running total of Buy Volume minus Sell Volume. It reveals the underlying buying/selling pressure that may not be visible in price alone.
CVD Value & Slope:
• ↗ Rising: CVD increasing = net buying pressure (bullish)
• ↘ Falling: CVD decreasing = net selling pressure (bearish)
• → Flat: No clear pressure direction
Accumulation vs Distribution:
• Accumulation %: Shows buying pressure strength (0-100). High accumulation with CVD rising = strong bullish bias.
• Distribution %: Shows selling pressure strength (0-100). High distribution with CVD falling = strong bearish bias.
Divergence Alerts:
• ⚠️ BULLISH DIVERGENCE: Price falling but CVD rising. Hidden buying = potential reversal UP.
• ⚠️ BEARISH DIVERGENCE: Price rising but CVD falling. Hidden selling = potential reversal DOWN.
WICK ANALYSIS
Wick Torque:
Torque measures the "rotational force" from wicks. It's calculated from wick length, volume, and body efficiency.
• Positive Torque (Bullish): Bottom wick power dominates. Buyers defended lower prices.
• Negative Torque (Bearish): Top wick power dominates. Sellers defended higher prices.
• ⚡ High Torque (>30): Strong signal, significant wick rejection occurred.
Stop-Hunt Detection:
The engine detects when price has likely swept stop-losses clustered at key levels:
• Stop Hunt Risk %: Likelihood score (0-100). Above 55% = confirmed hunt.
• "Shorts hunted": Price swept below support, liquidating shorts, expect bounce UP.
• "Longs hunted": Price swept above resistance, liquidating longs, expect drop DOWN.
LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
This section appears only when a liquidity sweep is detected. The engine monitors for price sweeping recent highs/lows and then reversing:
• 🎯 LIQUIDITY SWEPT ABOVE: Price broke recent highs but closed back below. Longs trapped, expect DOWN.
• 🎯 LIQUIDITY SWEPT BELOW: Price broke recent lows but closed back above. Shorts trapped, expect UP.
POWER BALANCE
The Power Balance meter shows the real-time strength comparison between buyers and sellers.
Force Ratio:
• 0% = Complete seller dominance
• 50% = Perfect balance
• 100% = Complete buyer dominance
Visual Bar:
• Left side (▓): Bear territory
• Right side (▓): Bull territory
• The bar is smoothed over recent history to reduce noise.
EFFORT vs RESULT
This section measures the efficiency of price movement relative to volume expended.
Energy:
How much volume was spent relative to the average. Energy > 1.0x means above-average volume activity.
Ground:
How much price movement occurred relative to average range. Ground > 1.0x means above-average price movement.
STALL Warning:
A STALL is detected when high energy is spent but low ground is taken (high effort, low result). This often indicates institutional battle, exhaustion, or imminent reversal.
MARKET PHASE
The Phase Engine classifies the current market regime:
RANGE : No clear trend. Price confined to middle of channel. Low ADX. Balanced forces. Trade breakouts with caution.
BUILDING : Compression/preparation phase. Channel tightening or boundary penetration without follow-through. Watch for breakout direction.
TRENDING : Active directional move. Clear slope, good efficiency, price on trending side of channel. Favor pullback entries.
Strength:
0-100% score combining slope, volume validity, and force/efficiency filters.
Bars: How many candles the current phase has persisted.
TRACK RECORD (Validation Panel)
Enable with Show Validation Panel in settings. This section tracks the historical accuracy of scenario predictions:
Accuracy: Percentage of validated predictions that were correct.
Best/Worst Scenario: Shows which scenarios have the highest and lowest accuracy on the current symbol.
Recent Signals: Last 5 predictions with their outcomes. ✓ = correct, ✗ = wrong, ⏳ = pending validation.
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE
📊 Volume Analysis
Volume Calculation: Choose Geometry (estimates from candle shape) or Intrabar (precise LTF data).
Intrabar Resolution: LTF for precise mode. Try 1S, 15S, or 1T. Must be lower than chart timeframe.
History Depth: Candles stored in memory (5-50). Higher = more context, slower.
Memory Lookback: Bars for moving averages and Z-scores (10-100).
🏷️ Market Phase
Range Zone Width: How much of channel center is considered "range" (0.1-0.8).
Trend Sensitivity: Minimum slope to detect trending. Lower = more sensitive.
Min Episode Length: Minimum bars before phase can change. Prevents flickering.
🎯 Scenarios
Min Confidence to Show: Only display scenarios above this confidence level (30-90).
Bars to Validate: How many bars to wait before checking if prediction was correct.
Success Move %: Minimum price movement to consider prediction successful.
💰 Trade Advisor
Min Confidence for Entry: Minimum confidence to suggest a trade entry (50-90).
Default Risk %: Stop loss distance as % of price (0.5-5.0).

Candlestick analysis
Toby Crabel's HisVolAs in Linda Raschke's Street smarts..... . This indicator shows the signals of Toby Crabel's Historical Volatility 6/100 strategy. The strategy assumes, that volatility contraction measured by two measures would give better results.
There is one other script that is a strategy , but it assumes that the signal requires both inside bar and narrowest range, what is not as in Linda Raschke's.
The strategy and what does the script do:
1) measures short-term unannualized volatility (by default six), long term uannualized volatility (by default 100), and measures the ratio of short volatility / long volatility.
2) checks if the current bar is an inside bar or has narrowest range out of last X bar (by default 4), or both,
3) puts an etiquette if short volatility / long volatility is equal to or smaller than 0,5 AND the day is inside bar, has narrowest range, or both.
Next day both buy-stop and sell-stop should be set. Buy-stop at the high and sell-stop at the low of the bar with etiquette.
This is by no means any financial advice, nor the historical results guarantee future gain.

Institutional Engine SAFEThis indicator is designed for traders who want to visualize institutional-level market execution patterns across multiple timeframes. It combines high-timeframe trend analysis, liquidity sweeps, fair value gaps (FVG), intermarket divergence (SMT), inverse FVGs, and change-in-state-of-delivery (CSID) to identify high-probability long and short setups.
FranPL - Psychological LevelsIt automatically draws horizontal lines fixed to the right-hand price scale at every price level ending in 00, 20, 50, and 80. These levels are commonly watched by traders as areas where price often reacts, pauses, or reverses.
The lines remain anchored to price, updating dynamically as the market moves, and stay aligned with the price scale rather than drifting with time. The indicator works across all markets and timeframes.
FranPL is fully customizable through the settings, allowing the user to adjust the line color, thickness, and length, making it easy to match personal chart preferences while keeping the chart clean and uncluttered.
Overall, FranPL provides a clear, consistent visual framework for identifying important psychological levels to support entries, exits, and risk management.
Average CandleAverage Candle is a custom indicator that plots a synthetic candle built from the average open, high, low, and close of the last X periods, providing a smoother view of price behavior and trend. It helps filter noise by summarizing recent market action into a single, representative **candle** per bar.
1. Introduction
Average Candle calculates the simple moving average of each OHLC component (Open, High, Low, Close) over a user-defined lookback period and renders that as a separate candle on the chart.
This creates a smoothed representation of price that is less affected by short-term volatility while still respecting the overall structure of the market.
By visualizing these averaged candles, traders can better identify underlying direction and momentum without removing the original price bars.
2. Key features
- Uses the average of the last X opens, highs, lows, and closes to build a synthetic candle for each bar, allowing consistent smoothing across all OHLC components.
- Colors the Average Candle bullish or bearish based on whether the average close is above or below the average open, making directional bias visually clear at a glance.
- Can be overlaid on the main chart to compare raw price candles with their averaged counterpart, helping traders distinguish meaningful swings from short-term noise.
3. How to use
- Add the indicator to your chart, choose the desired lookback length (X periods), and tune it according to your trading timeframe and style—for example, shorter lengths for more responsive signals and longer lengths for smoother trends.
- Use the Average Candle to confirm trend direction, detect potential reversals, or validate entries and exits by checking whether price action aligns with the smoothed average structure.
- Combine it with other tools such as support/resistance, volume, or momentum indicators, ensuring it is used as a complementary visualization aid rather than a standalone signal generator.

RS Proxy Suite (Sector-Weighted) - by kuokkuokIndicator Description
RS Proxy Suite (Sector-Weighted) is a Pine Script indicator for TradingView, designed for stock traders to calculate a stock's Relative Strength (RS) proxy score. This indicator simulates a market proxy universe by weighting multiple sector ETFs, evaluating a stock's strength relative to a benchmark like the SPX. Inspired by the M.E.T.S. (Multiple Edge Trading Strategy) system, it helps users identify market-leading stocks, potential breakout opportunities, and low-risk entry points.
Key Features and Benefits:
RS Proxy Rating (1–99 Score): Computes the stock's RS score (higher is stronger), aiding in screening super-strong stocks. A score above 80 indicates the stock outperforms most peers, making it a prime buy candidate.
RS Line and Blue Dot Divergence: Displays the RS line trend and marks RS-leading new high divergences. This acts like an "early warning light," signaling potential low-risk entries (e.g., when RS hits a new high but price hasn't caught up yet).
Sector-Weighted Design: Integrates Growth, Cyclical, Defensive, and Policy ETFs to simulate a comprehensive market environment. Weights are adjustable for flexibility across market phases.
Dashboard Display: A concise panel shows RS Rating, RS Trend, and Blue Dot status for quick decision-making.
Application Scenarios: Ideal for technical analysts to screen leaders, spot trend reversals, or confirm breakouts with VCP patterns (Volatility Contraction Patterns). Its strength lies in avoiding single-index bias for more stable RS assessments.
This indicator avoids subjective judgments, relying on quantitative momentum calculations to help traders "go with the flow" and reduce false breakout risks. Shared for community use—feedback welcome for improvements.
User Manual -
This manual guides you on installing and using the RS Proxy Suite (Sector-Weighted) indicator on TradingView. It's suited for daily or weekly charts, applicable to US stocks or markets correlated with SPX. Ensure your TradingView account supports Pine Script v6.
1. Installation Steps
Step 1: Log in to TradingView and open the Chart page.
Step 2: Click the "Indicators" button in the top toolbar, search for "RS Proxy Suite (Sector-Weighted)" (or paste the Pine Script code into the Pine Editor and add it).
Step 3: If installing from the Community Scripts library, click "Add to Chart"; for custom code, save and add to the chart.
Step 4: The indicator will appear below the chart (overlay=false). Confirm no error messages.
2. Parameter Adjustment Guide
The indicator offers multiple input parameters in TradingView's "Settings" panel. Defaults are optimized, but adjust based on market conditions. Here's a grouped breakdown:
Data Source:
Market Index SPX: Default "SP:SPX", changeable to other indices (e.g., "TVC:NDX").
Calculation Price: Default close (closing price), switch to high/low/open for sensitivity tweaks.
RS Momentum Periods (Adjustable):
Short Term (Default 63 days): Short-term momentum; larger values smooth it out.
Medium Term (Default 126 days): Mid-term momentum.
Long Term (Default 252 days): Long-term momentum for capturing major trends.
Momentum Weights:
Short Term Weight: Default 0.4, emphasizes recent performance.
Medium Term Weight: Default 0.2.
Long Term Weight: Default 0.4. Sum doesn't need to be 1; system normalizes automatically.
Sector Weights: Each ETF weight is independently adjustable (step 0.1). Defaults reflect sector importance, e.g., higher for growth ETFs.
XLK Weight (Technology): Default 1.5.
SOXX Weight (Semiconductors): Default 1.3.
XLY Weight (Consumer Discretionary): Default 1.2.
XLC Weight (Communication Services): Default 1.1.
XLG Weight (Large Cap Growth): Default 1.3.
XLI Weight (Industrials): Default 1.0.
XLF Weight (Financials): Default 1.0.
XLB Weight (Materials): Default 0.9.
XLE Weight (Energy): Default 0.9.
XLV Weight (Health Care): Default 0.8.
XLP Weight (Consumer Staples): Default 0.8.
XLU Weight (Utilities): Default 0.7.
XLRE Weight (Real Estate): Default 0.7.
PPA Weight (Aerospace & Defense): Default 0.9.
Adjustment Tips: Boost XLK/SOXX for tech-favorable markets; increase XLV/XLP for defensive phases.
Visualization Settings:
Show RS Line: Displays RS line (black) and 50-day MA (gray).
Show Blue Dot Divergence (Blue Dot): Marks divergence signals.
Show Dashboard: Enables the dashboard.
Dashboard Position: Choose locations like "Bottom Right".
3. Output Interpretation
RS Line: Black line shows stock strength vs. SPX; upward trend means outperforming. Gray line is 50-day MA—breaking above signals strength.
Blue Dot: Blue circle appears for RS leading price new highs (like a "coiled spring"), indicating potential low-risk entries. Confirm with: RS > 50-day MA and volume surge.
Dashboard:
RS Rating: Score 1–99; green (>80) for strong, yellow (50–80) neutral, red (<50) weak.
RS Trend: Green "Strong" or red "Weak".
Blue Dot: Blue "Present" or red "None".
Interpretation Analogy: RS Rating is like a stock's "health score"—above 80 is an "athlete" worth tracking for breakouts; Blue Dot is a "green light," but pair with volume to confirm true breakouts (avoid fakes).
4. Usage Examples
Screening Leaders: Add to AAPL chart—if RS Rating > 85 and Blue Dot appears, check if price nears VCP pivot; this is a low-risk buy setup.
Trend Judgment: Rising RS line with M.E.T.S. Stage 2 (uptrend) confirms trend-following trades.
Weight Tweaks: For defensive markets, raise XLV/XLU weights and recalculate RS Proxy.
5. Common Issues and Warnings
Q: Indicator not showing? A: Verify ETF symbols (e.g., AMEX:XLK) or switch timeframes.
Q: Inaccurate scores? A: Adjust periods/weights and backtest on historical data.
Q: Avoiding false breakouts? A: Combine with volume and support/resistance; Blue Dot is a alert, not a buy signal.
Warnings: Based on historical data; markets are volatile—use with other tools. Results are for reference only, not investment advice. Test in a demo account.

Weekly
These daily posts are intentional.
They are not meant to showcase wins, targets, or outcomes.
They are designed to help viewers observe consistency in market behavior—specifically how structure, range, and reaction repeat across different products and timeframes.
The value is not in catching every move.
The value is in knowing when participation is unnecessary or unsupported.
Signal Architect™ tools are built to help traders avoid low-quality decisions, not to encourage constant activity.
________________________________________
What These Posts Are Demonstrating
Over time, if you observe these posts across equities and futures, you’ll begin to notice:
• The same structural traps repeat across different instruments
• The same reactions occur across multiple timeframes
• The same stop-run and absorption behaviors appear regardless of volatility
That repetition is not coincidence.
It reflects how markets consistently behave, even as prices change.
The goal of these posts is to make that behavior familiar—
because familiarity reduces hesitation, overtrading, and unnecessary loss.
Consistency is not the outcome.
Consistency is the environment.

The tools emphasize:
• Market structure over prediction
• Environmental awareness over signals
• Risk framing over reward chasing
Nothing shown publicly is meant to tell you what to trade.
It is meant to help you recognize when not to trade.

Why This Matters
Most losses do not come from being wrong on direction.
They come from participating:
• too early
• too late
• during transitions
• inside structural traps
Signal Architect™ tools are designed to filter those moments out.
In many cases, the highest-value action is:
• standing aside
• reducing size
• waiting for clarity
Saving capital is part of execution.
Avoiding a bad trade is often more valuable than finding a good one.

Weekly (W) — Strategic Regime / “Where price is allowed to live”
Goal: Identify the dominant direction + structural permission for the entire week(s).
How to use:
• Treat weekly RECLAIM as regime confirmation, not an entry.
• If weekly prints Bull RECLAIM, favor long participation on lower timeframes until weekly invalidates.
• If weekly prints Bear RECLAIM, same idea but short-biased.
Best behavior to look for:
• 1–2 reclaim signals per month/quarter.
• Use it as a “macro gate.”
Recommended settings (starting point):
• dispMult 1.2–1.6
• reclaimWindow 20–40
• cooldown 8–20
🟣 WEEKLY — Macro Regime & Liquidity Clearing
1️⃣ Range Indicator (RI)
• <30 → long-term compression (energy building)
• >70 → macro expansion (trend regime active)
Use:
Defines whether markets are coiling or trending on a multi-month scale.
________________________________________
2️⃣ ZoneEngine (Structure)
• Identifies macro structural bias
• Explains why certain weekly moves fail or accelerate
Use:
Never fight weekly structure. This is your “market weather.”
________________________________________
3️⃣ Cloud / Reclaim (Behavior)
• Clouds classify regime state, not entries
• Reclaims are informational only on weekly
Use:
Helps label the regime: continuation vs transition.
________________________________________
4️⃣ Stop-Hunt Proxy
• Represents large-scale liquidity clearing
• Often tied to:
o fund rebalancing
o regime shifts
o macro events
Use:
Context only. Weekly stop-hunts explain why a regime changed — they are not trades.

ORB (x2) by jaXn# ORB (x2) Professional Suite
## 🚀 Unleash the Power of Precision Range Trading
**ORB (x2)** isn't just another breakout indicator—it is a complete **Opening Range Breakout workspace** designed for professional traders who demand flexibility, precision, and chart cleanliness.
Whether you are trading Indices, Forex, or Commodities, the Opening Range is often the most critical level of the day. This suite allows you to master these levels by tracking **two independent ranges** simultaneously, giving you a distinctive edge.
## 🔥 Why choose ORB (x2)?
Most indicators force you to choose one specific time. **ORB (x2)** breaks these limits.
### 🌎 1. Multi-Session Mastery (London & New York)
Trade the world's biggest liquidity pools. Set **ORB 1** for the **London Open** (e.g., 03:00–03:05 EST) and **ORB 2** for the **New York Open** (09:30–09:35 EST). Watch how price reacts to London levels later in the New York session.
### ⏱️ 2. Multi-Strategy Stacking (The "Fractal" Approach)
This is a game-changer for intraday setups. Instead of two different times, track **two different durations** for the *same* open.
* **Setup:** Configure **ORB 1** as the classic **5-minute range** (09:30–09:35).
* **Setup:** Configure **ORB 2** as the statistically significant **15-minute or 30-minute range** (09:30–10:00).
* **Result:** You now see immediate scalping levels *and* major trend reversals levels on the same chart, automatically.
### 🎯 3. "Plot Until" Tech: Keep Your Chart Clean
Sick of lines extending infinitely into the void?
Our exclusive **"Plot Until"** feature separates the signal from the noise. You define exactly when the trade idea invalidates.
* *Example:* Plot the 09:30 levels only until 12:00 (Lunch).
* The script intelligently cuts the lines off at your exact minute, ensuring your chart is ready for the afternoon session without morning clutter.
### ⚡ Precision Engine
We use a dedicated "Precision Timeframe" input. Even if you are viewing a 1-hour or 4-hour chart to see the big picture, ORB (x2) can fetch data from the **1-minute** timeframe to calculate the *exact* high and low of the opening range. No more "repainting" or guessing where the wick was.
## 🛠 Feature Breakdown
* **Dual Independent Engines:** Fully separate Color, Style, Time, and Cutoff settings for both ORB 1 and ORB 2.
* **Absolute Time Cutoff:** Lines obey day boundaries perfectly. A cutoff at 16:00 means 16:00, not "whenever the next bar closes".
* **Style Control:** Visually distinguish between your "Scalp" ORB (e.g., Dotted Lines) and your "Trend" ORB (e.g., Solid Thick Lines).
* **Performance Mode:** Adjustable "Lookback Days" limits history to keep your chart lightning fast.
## 💡 Configuration Examples
**The "Double Barrel" (Standard Stock + Futures)**
* *ORB 1:* `0930-0935` (5 min) - The immediate reaction.
* *ORB 2:* `0930-1000` (30 min) - The institutional trend setter.
**The "Transatlantic" (Forex/Indices)**
* *ORB 1:* `0800-0805` (London Open) - European liquidity.
* *ORB 2:* `1330-1335` (NY Open) - US liquidity injection.
## ⚠️ Disclaimer
Trading involves substantial risk. This tool helps visualize critical price levels but does not guarantee profits. Always combine with proper risk management and your own analysis.
kamsakang Pivot Breakout OK. Not "the latest N highs" but **" based on the previous high (the most recently confirmed swing high) '**, I'll change it to catch the moment it crosses that value.
The key is to pivot high. (It took a few bongs to confirm "this was the high point" → This is the cleanest "pivot high point")
