Futures Settlement [NeoButane]Traders use settlement prices as both support/resistance and as a target for price to trend towards. The intention of this script is to provide possible entry and exit levels for swing and scalp trades by drawing horizontal lines of true settlement prices provided by TradingView.
The settlement price, which is calculated daily, is used to determine the profit/loss of a trader's futures position. Prior to the daily close, price settlement of futures contracts is performed by taking the average of its traded price during a specified period of time.
Usage
The settlement prices, shown as horizontal lines, serve as support or resistance for entry or exit. There are hundreds of ways to combine this with favorite indicators, or it can be used as levels for pure price action traders.
See how settlement price levels can be used in confluence with oscillators.
Configuration
Toggles to show each settlement. Reprint shows prior weeks or months after they've ended. Back-adjusted futures, which affect expired futures price history on continuous futures charts, should only be enabled on non-standard charts to match the user's chart settings.
What this script does
This script plots the daily, weekly, and monthly settlements for futures, including an average for the two most recent weekly or monthly settlements. The weekly settlement uses the last day of the week's daily settlement and the monthly settlement uses the last day of the month's daily settlement. For symbols that do not have settlement prices, which will be almost if not all symbols that are not futures, the settlement price instead becomes price at the last second before the daily/weekly/monthly close. In those cases, this script becomes a tool for automatically plotting daily/weekly/monthly closes.
See below for two different bitcoin charts. The chart on top is a non-futures chart and a futures chart is at the bottom. Note that CME bitcoin futures settle 4 hours (1500 CST) before bitcoin's daily close (UTC).
How this script works
TradingView has a built-in ability to display daily settlements instead of the actual daily close. This can be enabled in chart settings for futures on the daily timeframe and there is an argument for Pine Script to do so as well. Because settlement times are different for multiple products during the day, the script uses the settlement price from daily timeframe, which is guaranteed to be correct because TradingView is wonderful. I accidentally found the undocumented backadjustment and settlement_at_close when I was trying to use ticker.inherit() to create a symbol with its daily close time changed to another symbol's, which I still haven't figured out. TradingView has since added documentation for both of them, but there's still an ambiguous 'etc.' in the description of ticker.inherit() so maybe there's more secret arguments...
The script is able to be used on non-standard charts by using ticker.standard(), but back-adjustment will need to be changed by input to match chart settings.

Bull Flag DetectionThe FuturesGod bull flag indicator aims to identify the occurrence of bull flags.
Bull flags are a popular trading pattern that allows users to gauge long entries into a given market. Flags consist of a pole that is followed by either a downward or sideways consolidation period.
This script can be used on any market but was intended for futures (NQ, ES) trading on the intraday timeframe.
The script does the following:
1. Identifies the occurrence of a flag pole. This is based on a lookback period and percentage threshold decided by the user.
2. Marks the consolidation area after the pole occurrence using swing highs and swing lows.
3. Visually the above is represented by a shaded green area.
4. When a pole is detected, it is marked by a downward off-white triangle. Note that if the percentage threshold is reached several times on the same upward climb, the script will continue to identify points where the threshold for pole detection is met.
5. Also visualized are the 20, 50 and 200 period exponential moving averages. The area between the 20 and 50 EMAs are shaded to provide traders a visual of a possible support area.
Crypto Spot/Futures Dominance Indicator with AlertsFutures/Spot Dominance Indicator:
Overview:
The futures/spot dominance indicator is a versatile tool used by traders and analysts to assess the relative strength or dominance of the futures market in relation to the spot (or cash) market for a specific asset. It offers insights into market sentiment, potential arbitrage opportunities, and risk management while incorporating the VWAP indicator for added context.
How It Works:
This indicator automatically detects and adapts to the futures symbol applied to the chart, simplifying the setup for traders. However, it still necessitates manual input of the corresponding spot pair to ensure accuracy.
Automatic Futures Symbol Detection: The indicator starts by automatically detecting the futures symbol on the trading chart, eliminating the need for manual configuration. This ensures that the indicator is applied to the correct futures contract.
Manual Spot Pair Entry: To provide a reliable reference point for the comparison, traders must manually input the corresponding spot symbol via the indicator's inputs. For instance, if the indicator detects the BTCUSDT.P futures symbol, traders would manually enter the BTCUSDT spot symbol.
Gathering Data: The indicator collects historical price data for both the detected futures contract and the manually specified spot symbol. This data includes open, high, low, and close prices, as well as trading volume.
VWAP Calculation: To gain a deeper understanding of price trends and market dynamics, the indicator calculates the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) for both the futures and spot markets. The VWAP places more weight on prices with higher trading volume, offering a weighted average that reflects market consensus.
Premium/Discount Calculation: By subtracting the VWAP of the spot market from the VWAP of the futures market, the indicator quantifies the premium or discount of the futures price concerning the spot price. A positive value indicates a premium, while a negative value suggests a discount.
Plotting: The premium/discount value is displayed as a line on the chart, often alongside moving averages or other smoothing techniques for improved trend analysis.
Alerts: In addition to its analysis capabilities, this indicator now includes alerts to enhance your trading experience. It alerts you in the following scenarios:
Premium Above Average: Notifies you when the premium crosses above the average line.
Premium Below Average: Alerts you when the premium crosses below the average line.
Premium Above Zero: Provides an alert when the premium crosses above the zero line.
Premium Below Zero: Generates an alert when the premium crosses below the zero line.
Benefits of the Futures/Spot Dominance Indicator:
Sentiment Analysis: Traders use the indicator to assess market sentiment. A futures premium might signify bullish sentiment, while a discount could indicate bearish sentiment.
Arbitrage Opportunities: Identifying price discrepancies between futures and spot markets can help traders spot arbitrage opportunities, where they can profit from price differentials.
Risk Management: The indicator assists in evaluating risks associated with futures positions, helping traders manage their exposure effectively.
Trend Confirmation: When used in conjunction with other technical indicators, futures/spot dominance, along with VWAP, can provide additional confirmation of price trends.
Hedging: Investors and corporations use this tool to gauge the effectiveness of hedging strategies based on futures contracts.
Speculative Trading: Traders and investors use the indicator to inform speculative positions, aligning their trades with perceived market strength or weakness.
Insightful Analysis: Futures/spot dominance analysis, enriched by VWAP data, offers insights into market behavior during specific events or changes in economic conditions.
In summary, the futures/spot dominance indicator, with its integration of VWAP and automatic futures symbol detection, provides traders and investors with a comprehensive tool to assess market dynamics. It aids in sentiment analysis, risk management, and trend confirmation while offering potential arbitrage opportunities. The newly added alerts enhance the indicator's functionality, providing timely notifications of key market events. However, it relies on manual input of the corresponding spot pair to ensure precise comparisons between futures and spot markets. It should be used alongside other analysis techniques for a well-rounded view of the market.
TASC 2023.10 COT Commercials Indicator█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the COT Commercials Indicator introduced by Alfred François Tagher in an article featured in TASC's October 2023 edition of Traders' Tips . The indicator is designed for use in futures markets and represents a fast stochastic (%K) calculated based on the commercial open interest values of an asset derived from the weekly Commitments Of Traders (COT) report .
█ CONCEPTS
The COT report, issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) , presents a breakdown of reportable open interest positions held by various trader groups—commercial, noncommercial, and nonreportable (small traders). Open interest reflects the total number of derivative contracts entered by market participants but not yet settled. Consequently, it can serve as a measure of market activity and liquidity.
The indicator showcased here aims to analyze changes in the reported net values of open interest for commercial traders/hedgers (often referred to as 'smart money', as they deal directly in underlying commodities). The net values are positive when the commercial traders have more long positions than short ones and negative when they hold more short positions than long ones. Positive net values indicate that commercial traders hold more long positions than short ones, while negative values indicate the opposite. Thus, overbought and oversold conditions of the COT Commercials Indicator potentially suggest collective bullish and bearish sentiments, respectively.
█ CALCULATIONS
The calculations involve these steps:
1. Net open interest values are extracted from COT data using the LibraryCOT library provided by TradingView.
2. A fast stochastic indicator (%K) is then applied to normalize these net values.
The script also provides an option of calculating and plotting the indicator curve for noncommercial (speculators) open interest.
SEC-Combined Indicator with EMA LinesTitle: Combined Indicator with EMA Lines
Description:
The Combined Indicator with EMA Lines is a technical analysis tool that combines multiple indicators to provide insights into the market's strength and potential buying or selling opportunities. It incorporates the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Exponential Moving Average (EMA) lines, and the trend over the past three days to generate signals.
The indicator calculates a combined data value by assigning weights to the RSI, EMA, and past trend. The RSI measures the strength of price movements, while the EMA lines provide an indication of the average price over a specific period. The past trend considers the price behavior over the last three days. By combining these factors, the indicator offers a comprehensive view of market conditions.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on the change in the combined data. A buy signal occurs when there is an increase in the combined data above a specified threshold, indicating a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when there is a decrease in the combined data below a specified threshold, suggesting a potential selling opportunity.
The indicator also plots the EMA lines, which include the EMA High, EMA Average, and EMA Low. These lines provide additional visual cues about the price trend and potential support and resistance levels.
Traders can use the Combined Indicator with EMA Lines to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. It helps in capturing trends, evaluating price strength, and making informed trading decisions. The buy and sell signals, along with the EMA lines, aid in spotting potential reversals, confirming trends, and managing risk.
It's important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other analysis techniques and risk management strategies. Traders should consider combining it with additional indicators, chart patterns, and fundamental analysis to enhance their trading decisions.
Remember to backtest and validate the indicator's performance using historical data before using it in real-time trading. Adjust the input parameters, such as RSI period, EMA period, and threshold values, to suit your trading style and market conditions.
Annualized Spot-Future DifferenceThe "Annualized Spot-Future Difference" indicator (ASFD) compares the closing prices of a futures contract and its underlying spot asset. It calculates the price difference between the two instruments and annualizes this difference to provide a standardized measure for comparison.
The indicator takes inputs for the futures ticker symbol and the spot ticker symbol, allowing flexibility in selecting the specific assets for analysis. Additionally, it allows the user to input the contract date, which represents the expiration date of the futures contract.
The ASFD indicator plots the annualized difference between the futures and spot prices. It calculates the price difference by subtracting the spot price from the futures price. To annualize this difference, it considers the remaining days to the contract expiration and scales the difference accordingly.
The annualized difference can provide insights into market expectations, as it reflects the market's perception of the future price movement of the underlying asset. A positive value indicates that the futures price is higher than the spot price, potentially suggesting bullish sentiment. Conversely, a negative value suggests bearish sentiment, with the futures price lower than the spot price.
Traders and analysts can utilize the ASFD indicator to identify potential opportunities for arbitrage or evaluate market sentiment regarding the underlying asset. By monitoring changes in the annualized difference over time, they can gain insights into market dynamics and make informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that the ASFD indicator relies on accurate and up-to-date pricing data for both the futures and spot assets. Traders should verify that the selected ticker symbols correspond to the desired instruments and ensure that the contract date aligns with the relevant futures contract expiration.
Overall, the ASFD indicator provides a quantitative measure of the annualized price difference between futures and spot assets, enabling traders and analysts to assess market expectations and identify potential trading opportunities.
4H RangeThis script visualizes certain key values based on a 4-hour timeframe of the selected market on the chart. These values include the High, Mid, and Low price levels during each 4-hour period.
These levels can be helpful to identify inside range price action, chop, and consolidation. They can sometimes act as pivots and can be a great reference for potential entries and exits if price continues to hold the same range.
Here's a step-by-step overview of what this indicator does:
1. Inputs: At the beginning of the script, users are allowed to customize some inputs:
Choose the color of lines and labels.
Decide whether to show labels on the chart.
Choose the size of labels ("tiny", "small", "normal", or "large").
Choose whether to display price values in labels.
Set the number of bars to offset the labels to the right.
Set a threshold for the number of ticks that triggers a new calculation of high, mid, and low values.
* Tick settings may need to be increased on equity charts as one tick is usually equal to one cent.
For example, if you want to clear the range when there is a close one point/one dollar above or below the range high/low then on ES
that would be 4 ticks but one whole point on AAPL would be 100 ticks. 100 ticks on an equity chart may or may not be ideal due to
different % change of 100 ticks might be too excessive depending on the price per share.
So be aware that user preferred thresholds can vary greatly depending on which chart you're using.
2. Retrieving Price Data: The script retrieves the high, low, and closing price for every 4-hour period for the current market.
The script also calculates the mid-price of each 4-hour period (the average of the high and low prices).
3. Line Drawing: At the start of the script (first run), it draws three lines (high, mid, and low) at the levels corresponding to the high,
mid, and low prices. Users can also change transparency settings on historical lines to view them. Default setting for historical lines
is for them to be hidden.
4. Updating Lines and Labels: For each subsequent 4-hour period, the script checks whether the close price of the period has gone
beyond a certain threshold (set by user input) above the previous high or below the previous low. If it has, the script deletes the
previous lines and labels, draws new lines at the new high, mid, and low levels, and creates new labels (if the user has opted to
show labels).
5. Displaying Values in the Data Window: In addition to the visual representation on the chart, the script also plots the high, mid, and
low prices. These plotted values appear in the Data Window of TradingView, allowing users to see the exact price levels even when
they're not directly labeled on the chart.
6. Updating Lines and Labels Position: At the end of each period, the script moves the lines and labels (if they're shown) to the right,
keeping them aligned with the current period.
Please note: This script operates based on a 4-hour timeframe, regardless of the timeframe selected on the chart. If a shorter timeframe is selected on the chart, the lines and labels will appear to extend across multiple bars because they represent 4-hour price levels. If a longer timeframe is selected, the lines and labels may not accurately represent high, mid, and low levels within that longer timeframe.
SPX ES SpreadA very simple indicator to display the spread between ES and SPX. The table by default displays in the upper right corner of the chart. If you are on the chart for SPX, it will show the current price of ES, as well as the difference in points between the two. Similarly, if on the chart for ES, it will show the price for SPX as well as the difference in points between the two. The table does not appear at all if the chart symbol is anything other than ES or SPX. The specific symbols used can be defined by the user.
Percent of U.S. Stocks Above VWAPThis indicator plots a line reflecting the percentage of all U.S. stocks above or below their VWAP for the given candle. Horizontal lines have been placed at 40% (oversold), 50% (mid-line), and 60% (overbought). I recommend using this indicator as a market breadth indicator when trading individual stocks. In my experience, this indicator is best utilized while trading the major indices (SPX, SPY, QQQ, IWM) or their futures (ES, NQ, RTY) in the following manner:
- When the line crosses 50%, a green or red triangle is plotted indicating the majority of market momentum has turned bullish or bearish based on price positioning vs. VWAP. Look for longs when the line is rising (green) or above 50%, or shorts when the line is falling (red) or below 50%.
- When the line is below 40%, indicator shows red shading; I would not be long anything during this period. When the line exits this level, I begin looking for long entries. This line is adjustable in the indicator settings if you prefer to use a tighter or looser oversold level.
- When the line is above 60%, indicator shows green shading; I would not be short anything during this period. When the line exits this level, I begin looking for short entries. This line is adjustable in the indicator settings if you prefer to use a tighter or looser overbought level.
This indicator uses the TradingView ticker “PCTABOVEVWAP.US”, thus it only updates during NY market hours. If trading futures, I recommend applying VWAP to your chart and using that as the level to trade against in a similar manner, along with your personal price action analysis and other indicators you find useful.
Binance Auto Spot-Futures Premium/Discount -CheThis Script is based in the 2020 @Plumptoiletduck script
Special thanks to @tartigradia for the Auto Detect code for the Binance pair.
It tells us the difference in price between Spot and Perpetual Futures.
Now I incorporated the function that automatically detects the pair we are in to show the premium/discount of that pair.
You never need to select the currency you are in the script anymore!
It is specially designed for Binance coins, it includes all perpetuals.
How to use it?
Usually if the Futures are higher than the Spot it indicates that we are in an over exposure zone of longs in futures.
If the spot is cheaper than the futures it means that the futures are more fearful.
You can use this script with an Open Interest script to get an idea of what is going on.
Other examples:
Futures/Spot Ratiowhat is Futures /Spot Ratio?
Although futures and spot markets are separate markets, they are correlated. arbitrage bots allow this gap to be closed. But arbitrage bots also have their limits. so there are always slight differences between futures and spot markets. By analyzing these differences, the movements of the players in the market can be interpreted and important information about the price can be obtained. Futures /Spot Ratio is a tool that facilitates this analysis.
what it does?
it compresses the ratio between two selected spot and futures trading pairs between 0 and 100. its purpose is to facilitate use and interpretation. it also passes a regression (Colorful Regression) through the middle of the data for the same purpose.
about Colorful Regression:
how it does it?
it uses this formula:
how to use it?
use it to understand whether the market is priced with spot trades or leveraged positions. A value of 50 is the breakeven point where the ratio of the spot and leveraged markets are equal. Values above 50 indicate excess of long positions in the market, values below 50 indicate excess of short positions. I have explained how to interpret these ratios with examples below.
Pin Candle DetectionPin candles are a variation of hammer candles that are useful in technical analysis . In particular, when combined with volume profile studies, they can be a powerful set up for long entries or other decision making.
For example, when looking at volume profiles, a long entry would be a fair value area (i.e. 40%) below the close of a pin candle. When combined with a support level , the set up is stronger.
While most scripts look for hammer candles, pin candles are somewhat different in that the length of the wick is significant.
This script and its parameters was built for ES futures 15 min chart in mind.
This script is unique in that it allows for the below parameters to be adjusted to suit other instruments and timeframes:
1. Fib level: Candle must close within a certain retracement level). My preference is 0.55. Some traders like 0.5, while others prefer 0.33
2. Wick length: Pin candles differ from pure hammers in that the length of the wick must be significant. My preference is 7 points on ES (as in $ and not ticks)
Add this script to your alerts to no longer miss these set ups.
30 Second Futures Session Open RangeThis indicator displays 30 second opening ranges from Globex, Europe, and RTH sessions.
From the RTH session range, it also displays infinitely generating Price Targets based on a % of the opening range size.
I am retrieving the 30 second data using the new "request.security_lower_tf()" function.
The importance of these levels is based on the idea that when the market opens, algorithms establish their positions within the first 30 seconds.
These areas can also be seen as potential areas of support and resistance throughout the sessions.
Enjoy!
Failed Breakdown Detection'Failed Breakdowns' are a popular set up for long entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant low is made ('initial low')
2) Initial low is undercut with a new low
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial low by moving +8-10 points from the initial low
This script aims at detecting such set ups. It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
Business Logic:
1) Uses pivot lows to detect 'significant' initial lows
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new low beneath the initial low; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a green candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new low
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial low value (pivot low) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBD Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot low detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New lows are plotted on the chart with a blue triangle
Notes:
User input
- My preference is to use the defaults as is, but as always feel free to experiment
- Can modify pivot length but in my experience 10/10 work best for pivot lows
- New low detection - 55 bars and 0.05 amplitude work well based on visual checks of signals
- Can modify the number of points needed to reclaim a low, and the # of bars limit under which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new lows and detection of failed breakdowns
- Alerts are also available for these signals but only during 7:30PM-4PM EST - 'prime time' US trading hours
Limitations:
- Current version of the script only compares new lows to the most recent pivot low, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal

Session LiquidityThe “Session Liquidity” TradingView indicator by Infinity Trading creates dynamic horizontal lines at the high and low points of a specified time span within the trading day. This indicator gives the user control of three separate time spans so the user can dynamically see the highs and lows of their favorite daily time spans.
Purpose
This indicator is similar to my TradingView indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0”. In that indicator the user gets control of dynamic price boxes. For me, these boxes made it difficult to spot ICT’s Orderblocks. So instead of boxes I made independently controllable lines and now I can spot ICT Orderblocks and easily identify Liquidity Pools.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic lines can but independently configured. Start & End Times, Line Color, Line Style, Line Width, Text Characters, Text Size, Text Color can all be adjusted. The high and low lines as well as their text labels can be individually toggled on or off for maximum control.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each time span line needs a specific start of each day. This is controlled by a setting called “Line Start Day Timezone” where the user sets a timezone that corresponds with the start time. In general if a timespan resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If the Line Start Time is within one candle of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won’t display. So choose the previous timezone
Lines only display when the timeframe is <= 30 minute

Z Score BandThis is a band based on Z Score. What is Z Score? In layman's terms it's a method of finding outliers within a sequence of numbers. It's highly effective to quantify pump and dumps in the crypto market.
The middle line is a simple Exponential Moving Average, you can configure this with whatever period you prefer. It comes default with a period of 247 to which I find suitable for my style of trading. The upper and lower bound are determined by the standard deviation you choose in the settings, it comes with a default of 1.69 although I've heard people saying 2.5 is a better number to really pinpoint outliers.
Trading with this indicator is like trading with any band based indicator. The main difference is that this indicator's sole purpose when I wrote it is to help me find shorting positions in the futures market. On the contrary though, longs are also achievable although I rarely long the futures market.
If prices hit the upper bound and get rejected, it's probably because the move was an outlier, it doesn't happen often and when it does usually it reveals crypto's nature of buying spot and hedging short in the futures market. When prices stay above the upper bound, switch to a higher timeframe until we can see that it's still have some ways upwards.
What's true about using this as a shorting tool is also true with longs. However, it might not be as effective, I'd like to be proven wrong.
Weekly Power 3Did you know there is a simple line you can place on your chart to immediately make the weeks price action more understandable? Its called the Weekly Open Line. And its the opening price of the trading week. It was created by The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and incorporates another one of his concepts called Power 3.
The Weekly Power 3 indicator takes the idea of the Weekly Open Line and builds a suite of intelligent and dynamic tools around it that will immediately help the user to start understanding how price moves within the trading week context.
Features
Static Weekly Open Line
Intelligent Days of the Week Text
Dynamic Weekly High Line
Dynamic Weekly Low Line
Weekly High Candle Label (highest candle of the week)
Weekly Low Candle Label (lowest candle of the week)
Best Odds High of the Week Zone Line & Text
Best Odds Low of the Week Zone Line & Text
Components
The primary feature is a line that forms on the weekly open price and grows as the week progresses. Additionally, lines are created for the highest and lowest prices of the week so the weekly profile can be easily recognized. A dynamic label marks each weeks highest and lowest point. This will automatically move as prices expand throughout the week.
A very useful component of the Weekly Power 3 indicator is the Days of the Week text. Each Day of the Week text is displayed in the middle of each trading day and also the user can specify in the Settings whether to position the text at the high or low of the weeks price range. Additionally, there is a Buffer setting that allows the user to move the Days of the Week text up or down to prevent chart overlapping.
To help the user visualize the span of time with the best odds of forming the weekly highs or weekly lows, according to ICT, this indicator adds at static line and optional label into the charts future that projects the span from Tuesday’s London Open to Wednesday’s New York. Having a static line out in the future on your chart really helps to picture where price could be drawn to based solely around time of the week.
Premise
ICT says that the weekly open price is the most important level that price reacts to across the five days of a trading week. If the week profile is expected to be bullish then price many times goes below the weekly open line at the beginning of the week and above it later in the week (a.k.a Bullish Power 3). Consequently, if the week is anticipated to be a bearish week, price often times starts the week high and then goes lower throughout the week (a.k.a Bearish Power 3).
ICT always specifies that the weekly high or weekly low have the best odds of forming between the Tuesday’s London Open and Wednesday’s New York Open.
Inputs and Style
Like all scripts publish by Infinity Trading, everything in the indicator is customizable by the user. Every label, line, or text can be individually toggled ON or OFF so the user has complete control over the elements they want displayed on their chart. All of the lines can be individually adjusted by color, line style, or line width. The color and text color on the high and low of the week labels can be individually changed. The text in the chart (day of the week & best odds zones text) each have a “buffer” value. This allows the user to individually move the text up or down on the chart to declutter the chart. And lastly, the day of the week text can be positioned above or below the weeks price action and the text will dynamically move higher or lower as price expands throughout the week.
Previous weeks have all of the Weekly Power 3 markups so it's easy to study past price action and identify trends.

Future's spread with base contract (MOEX)English:
Indicator calculates spread between future and it's theoretical price baased on base contract, number of days to expiration and central bank key rate.
I didn't find any means of getting base contract of security on chart so I hardcoded futures and corresponding base contracts.
Hardcoded futures are MOEX (Moscow Exchange) only and key rate used in script is Russian Central Bank's key rate from 2013, but I believe you can easily adapt it to any other key rate history. I can share source code of tiny C++20 utility for easy generation of get_rate(time) function from more human-readable date format rather then UNIX timestamp used in PineScript.
Only quarterly futures are supported. Only in "SIU2022" like notation. "SI1!" like aliases are not supported.
Русский:
Индикатор отображает спред фьючерса к его теоретической цене с учётом усыхания на каждый день.
Не нашёл, как определить базовый актив фьючерса средствами TradingView - поэтому это соответствие захардкожено вручную.
Поддерживаются только квартальные фьючерсы, только MOEX, только хардкор.
Поддерживается история ключевой ставки ЦБ РФ с 2013 года.
Используйте коды фьючерсов вида "SIU2022".
Не поддерживаются альясы вроде "SI1!", "EU1!".

Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0Description
The ultimate conclusion to the Futures Exchange Sessions 2.0 indicator. In version 3.0 the user gets full control of the start and end times of three separate dynamic boxes and one horizontal line. If the user wants to visually keep track of killzones, lunches, or any other time span in a trading day, version 3.0 will dynamically expand and keep track of price within the time specified by the user.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic boxes and one horizontal line can but independently configured. Color, style, border, width can all be adjusted. In the Settings each box has a text box so the user can give each one a unique name.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each box and line need a dependent start of each day. This is controlled by a setting where the user can specify a timezone called Start Day Timezone which would be midnight of the respective timezone. In general if a box or line resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users box/line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the box/line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If start time is within one period of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won't display
Boxes and time lines only display when timeframe is <= 30 minute
To turn off box text label set opacity to 0%
