Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters
(All colors, thicknesses and transparencies are editable in the settings.)
✨ Features
Real‑Time Updates
Levels refresh tick‑by‑tick inside their own session—no repainting later.
One‑Click Visibility Toggles
Show or hide any session extreme independently.
Clean Auto‑Labels
Optional right‑edge tags (“RTH High”, “Premkt Low”, etc.) keep your chart readable even when lines overlap.
Automatic Daily Reset
At midnight Eastern, buffers clear and yesterday’s extremes roll into the “Prev‑Day” pair.
Zero‑Noise Design
Transparencies and line styles are tuned so you can overlay on any symbol / timeframe without drowning candles.
📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.

Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)
Script Description
This TradingView indicator is optimized for Forex, scalping, intraday, and day trading strategies. It accurately plots Pivot Points and levels, high/low, support and resistance levels. These are clearly identified to aid the trader during killzone sessions and session opens. Ideal for scalp trading, intraday sessions, and leveraging SMT (Smart Money Techniques). Utilize these Price Levels effectively during London Open, NY Open, and the Asia Session, utilizing Market Structure to pinpoint key levels and reversal zones for successful trading. Improve your Trade Setups, recognize reliable Chart Patterns, identify critical Price Pivots, and trade confidently off Institutional Levels.
This script marks the intraday pivot highs, lows and midpoints retracement levels for
Asia
London
New York
It also plots the previous day's high, low, midpoint, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, providing traders with critical price reference points for making intraday trading decisions.
Originality & Usefulness
This indicator uniquely integrates pivot calculations across three major Forex sessions (Asia, London, NY), clearly delineating session boundaries.
It enhances visibility by using distinct styling
solid for New York
dashed for London
dotted lines for Asia
And colour co-ordinated labeling, improving traders' ability to identify important intraday price action zones efficiently. Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script emphasizes session-specific trading dynamics.
### Key Features ###
Session-Based Levels: Automatically plots high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci (.618) levels for each major session (Asia, London, NY).
Distinct Visual Cues: Lines and labels use session-specific styles and colors to easily differentiate between sessions.
Previous Day Reference: Clearly plots and labels yesterday's high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci levels.
Flexible Visibility: Traders can set timeframe visibility to maintain clean charts on higher timeframes.
### How It Works
At the start of next day's session, previous session lines are cleared, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
High, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci retracement levels (.618) are dynamically calculated and displayed at the close of each session.
All session levels remain visible until the start of the next respective session, providing continuous actionable insights.
Trading Application:
Session highs and lows act as strong intraday support and resistance zones.
Midpoints and Fibonacci levels are effective for identifying potential reversal zones and retracements.
Daily levels provide a broader context, useful for gauging intraday volatility and range.
### Limitations and Considerations ##
Best used on liquid assets with clear session-based price action, such as Forex major pairs, if used on indexes make sure they contain 24 hour price action not just New York session.
This indicator is designed to streamline intraday trading by clearly marking essential pivot points and session-based levels, significantly improving traders' market context and decision-making accuracy. Can be used to enhance SMT decision making when scalping killzones.
Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL) [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects and visualizes Equal High (EQH) and Equal Low (EQL) zones—key liquidity areas where price has previously stalled or reversed. These levels often attract institutional interest due to the liquidity buildup around them. The indicator is built to highlight such zones using dynamic thresholding, overbought/oversold RSI filtering, and adaptive mitigation logic to manage zone relevance over time.
CONCEPTS
Equal Highs/Lows are price points where the market has repeatedly failed to break past a certain high or low, hinting at areas where stop orders and pending interest may be concentrated. These areas are often prime targets for liquidity grabs or reversals. By combining this with RSI filtering, the script avoids false signals during neutral conditions and instead focuses on zones where market pressure is more directional.
FEATURES
Detection Logic: The script identifies EQH and EQL zones by comparing the similarity between recent highs or lows with a dynamic volatility threshold. The `tolerance` input allows users to control how strict this comparison is.
RSI Filtering: If enabled, it only creates zones when RSI is significantly overbought or oversold (based on the `state_thresh` input). This helps ensure zones form only in meaningful market conditions.
Zone Display: Bullish (EQL) zones are shown in grey, while bearish (EQH) zones are in blue. Two horizontal lines mark the zone using wick and body extremes, and a filled area visualizes the zone between them.
Zone Management: Zones automatically extend with price until they’re invalidated. You can choose whether a zone is removed based on wick or body sweeps and whether it requires one or two candle confirmations. Zones also expire after a customizable number of bars.
Alerts: Four alert conditions are built in—when a new EQH/EQL is formed and when one is mitigated—making it easy to integrate into alert-based workflows.
USAGE
Equal highs/lows can be used as liquidity markers, either as entry points or as take-profit targets.
This tool is ideal for liquidity-based strategies and helps traders map out possible reversal or sweep zones that often precede aggressive moves.
Really Key Levels█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the most useful and universally used key trading levels (and only those) in a visually appealing way. Its originality lies in the fact that it was developed due to being unable to find an indicator that wasn't cluttered with other features or far less relevant levels, or one that would indicate the bar causing the level (i.e., not just using a horizontal line over the whole chart), or one that was well-programmed and didn’t frequently refresh for many seconds for no obvious reason, taking far too long to do so for such a seemingly simple indicator.
█ FEATURES
Shows the most frequently used key levels in a visually appealing way
Indicates the bar that causes the level, with the line starting at that bar
Works correctly and consistently on both RTH and ETH charts
Lines can be optionally extended both left and right, if the user prefers
Works with US/European stocks and US futures (at least)
Configurable futures regular session (default time is for CME futures, e.g., ES/NQ, etc.)
Users can configure line colour, style, and thickness
Adjustable label locations to prevent overlap with other indicator labels
Nice defaults that look good, and a well-contrasting label text colour
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those who are interested
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator shows the following levels by a line starting at the bar that causes them:
Current Day RTH High/Low (visible and updated only during RTH; visible with no further updates in the post-market)
Current Day RTH Open (only after the RTH open)
Pre-Market High/Low (as it develops in the pre-market and fixed after RTH open)
Previous Day RTH Close
Previous Day RTH High/Low
Previous Day Pre-Market High-Low
Two Days Ago RTH Close
Other levels may be added in future versions, if requested and if they are Really Key Levels.
Regarding futures: despite being a 23-hour market (for CME futures, 5 p.m. the previous day to 4 p.m. the current day), most trading activity takes place together with the RTH on stock exchanges in New York, 08:30 to 3 p.m. Central (Chicago) time. Therefore, a user-configurable regular market is defined at those times, with times before this (from 5 p.m. the previous day) being considered pre-market, and times after this (until 4 p.m.) being considered post-market.
Care was taken so that the code uses no hard-coded time zones, exchanges, or session times. For this reason, it can in principle work globally. However, it very much depends on the information provided by the exchange, which is reflected in built-in Pine Script variables (see Limitations below).
█ LIMITATIONS
Pre-market levels are not shown when viewing an RTH chart.
The indicator was developed and tested on US/European stocks and US futures. It may or may not work for stocks and futures in other countries (depending on their pre- and post-market definitions and what information the exchange provides to TradingView via the relevant built-in Pine Script variable). It does not work on other security types, especially those with a 24-hour market that don't have a uniquely defined daily close, implicit H/L time window, or a pre-market.
ETH to RTH Gap DetectorETH to RTH Gap Detector
What It Does
This indicator identifies and tracks custom-defined gaps that form between Extended Trading Hours (ETH) and Regular Trading Hours (RTH). Unlike traditional gap definitions, this indicator uses a specialized approach - defining up gaps as the space between previous session close high to current session initial balance low, and down gaps as the space from previous session close low to current session initial balance high. Each detected gap is monitored until it's touched by price.
Key Features
Detects custom-defined ETH-RTH gaps based on previous session close and current session initial balance
Automatically identifies both up gaps and down gaps
Visualizes gaps with color-coded boxes that extend until touched
Tracks when gaps are filled (when price touches the gap area)
Offers multiple display options for filled gaps (color change, border only, pattern, or delete)
Provides comprehensive statistics including total gaps, up/down ratio, and touched gap percentage
Includes customizable alert system for real-time gap filling notifications
Features toggle options for dashboard visibility and weekend sessions
Uses time-based box coordinates to avoid common TradingView drawing limitations
How To Use It
Configure Session Times : Set your preferred RTH hours and timezone (default 9:30-16:00 America/New York)
Set Initial Balance Period : Adjust the initial balance period (default 30 minutes) for gap detection sensitivity
Monitor Gap Formation : The indicator automatically detects gaps between the previous session close and current session IB
Watch For Gap Fills : Gaps change appearance or disappear when price touches them, based on your selected style
Check Statistics : View the dashboard to see total gaps, directional distribution, and touched percentage
Set Alerts : Enable alerts to receive notifications when gaps are filled
Settings Guide
RTH Settings : Configure the start/end times and timezone for Regular Trading Hours
Initial Balance Period : Controls how many minutes after market open to calculate the initial balance (1-240 minutes)
Display Settings : Toggle gap boxes, extension behavior, and dashboard visibility
Filled Box Style : Choose how filled gaps appear - Filled (color change), Border Only, Pattern, or Delete
Color Settings : Customize colors for up gaps, down gaps, and filled gaps
Alert Settings : Control when and how alerts are triggered for gap fills
Weekend Session Toggle : Option to include or exclude weekend trading sessions
Technical Details
The indicator uses time-based coordinates (xloc.bar_time) to prevent "bar index too far" errors
Gap boxes are intelligently limited to avoid TradingView's 500-bar drawing limitation
Box creation and fill detection use proper range intersection logic for accuracy
Session detection is handled using TradingView's session string format for reliability
Initial balance detection is precisely calculated based on time difference
Statistics calculations exclude zero-division scenarios for stability
This indicator works best on futures markets with extended and regular trading hours, especially indices (ES, NQ, RTY) and commodities. Performs well on timeframes from 1-minute to 1-hour.
What Makes It Different
Most gap indicators focus on traditional open-to-previous-close gaps, but this tool offers a specialized definition more relevant to ETH/RTH transitions. By using the initial balance period to define gap edges, it captures meaningful price discrepancies that often provide trading opportunities. The indicator combines sophisticated gap detection logic with clean visualization and comprehensive tracking statistics. The customizable fill styles and integrated alert system make it practical for both chart analysis and active trading scenarios.
ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator & FIB's by TenAMTraderSummary: ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator with Alerts and Fibonacci Retracement Targets by TenAMTrader
This TradingView script is an advanced version of the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator, enhanced with visual clouds and Fibonacci retracement/extension levels. It is designed to help traders identify key price levels and track price movements relative to those levels throughout the trading day. The script includes alert functionalities to notify traders when price crosses key levels and when Fibonacci levels are reached, which can serve as potential entry and exit targets.
Key Features:
Primary and Secondary Range Calculation:
The indicator calculates the primary range (defined by a start and end time) and optionally, a secondary range.
The primary range includes the highest and lowest prices during the designated time period, as well as the midpoint of this range.
The secondary range (if enabled) tracks another price range during a second time period, with its own high, low, and midpoint.
Visual Clouds:
The script draws colored clouds between the high, midpoint, and low of the opening range.
The upper cloud spans between the Opening High and Midpoint, while the lower cloud spans between the Midpoint and Opening Low.
Similarly, a second set of clouds can be drawn for the secondary range (if enabled).
Fibonacci Levels:
The script calculates Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on the primary range (the difference between the Opening High and Opening Low).
Fibonacci levels can be used as entry and exit targets in a trading strategy, as these levels often act as potential support/resistance zones.
Fibonacci levels include standard values like -0.236, -0.382, -0.618, and positive extensions like 1.236, 1.618, etc.
Customizable Alerts:
Alerts can be set to trigger when:
The price crosses above the Opening High.
The price crosses below the Opening Low.
The price crosses the Opening Midpoint.
These alerts can help traders act quickly on important price movements relative to the opening range.
Customization Options:
The indicator allows users to adjust the time settings for both the primary and secondary ranges.
Custom colors can be set for the lines, clouds, and Fibonacci levels.
The visibility of each line and cloud can be toggled on or off, giving users flexibility in how the chart is displayed.
Fibonacci Levels Overview:
The script includes several Fibonacci retracement and extension levels:
Negative Retracements (e.g., -0.236, -0.382, -0.50, -0.618, etc.) are plotted below the Opening Low, and can act as potential support levels in a downtrend.
Positive Extensions (e.g., 1.236, 1.382, 1.618, 2.0, etc.) are plotted above the Opening High, and can act as potential resistance levels in an uptrend.
Fib levels can be used as entry and exit targets to capitalize on price reversals or breakouts.

Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves - Tr33man Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves
Overview 🤷♂️
The Daily ATR Bonanza script is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders visualize and understand potential price movements using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides daily and weekly ATR levels, historical statistics, and conditional probability analysis to give traders actionable insights. The script also plots the daily Keltner channel. This script is ideal for traders who want to gauge volatility, identify key levels, and make data-driven decisions.
b]Key Features:
📈 1. Daily and Weekly ATR Levels
🔵ATR Levels: The script calculates and displays ATR-based levels for the day and week. These levels are derived from the previous day's or week's close price and are adjusted using customizable multipliers (0.5x, 1x, and 1.5x by default).
🔵You can choose the number of ATR levels (1, 2, or 3) and adjust the multipliers to suit your trading strategy.
🌐 2. ATR Bands (Keltner Channels)
🔵The script includes an option to display ATR Bands, which are volatility-based envelopes around a moving average. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
🔵You can adjust the ATR multiplier and the length of the moving average used for the bands.
🧮 3. Historical Statistics and Conditional Probability
🔵 Historical Analysis: The script analyzes historical price movements to calculate the likelihood of closing at certain ATR levels.
🔵 Conditional Probability: This feature shows the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels given the current market conditions. The conditional matches historical data by an open in the same opening ATR bucket, as well as the current price bucket having been visited in the historical case. Conditional probabilities are just statistics, and do not predict anything.
Data Table: 📚
🔵 Historical Close Probability: The percentage of days the price closed within each ATR level.
🔵 Conditional Close Probability: The likelihood of the price closing within each ATR level today.
❓ What is Conditional Probability? ❓
Conditional probability is a statistical measure that calculates the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. In this script, it is used to determine the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels based on the current opening range as well as current ATR distance from the previous close.
For example:
If the market opens near the lower end of the first ATR level, the script calculates the likelihood of the price reaching the upper end of the first, second, or third ATR level.
This analysis is based on historical data, making it a powerful tool for understanding potential price movements.
🌟 Understanding the Levels
🔵Daily Levels: These are based on the previous day's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new day.
🔵Weekly Levels: These are based on the previous week's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new week.
🔵ATR Bands: These are dynamic levels that adjust with market volatility.
🔬 Analyze the Statistics (Daily only for now, no weekly yet)
🔵Use the interactive table to understand historical probabilities and conditional probabilities.
🔵Focus on the current opening range and the likelihood of reaching specific levels.
🧠 Make Trading Decisions
🔵Use the ATR levels and bands to identify key support and resistance levels.
🔵Use the conditional probability table to gauge the likelihood of reaching specific targets.
🔵Adjust your strategy based on the historical performance of the market.
Example Use Cases
1. Day Trading
Use the daily ATR levels to set intraday targets and stop-loss levels.
Monitor the conditional probability table to adjust your expectations based on the opening range.
2. Swing Trading
Use the weekly ATR levels to identify longer-term support and resistance levels.
3. Scalping
Use the ATR bands to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Use the conditional probability table to quickly assess the likelihood of price movements.
Volume-Weighted Pivot BandsThe Volume-Weighted Pivot Bands are meant to be a dynamic, rolling pivot system designed to provide traders with responsive support and resistance levels that adapt to both price volatility and volume participation. Unlike traditional daily pivot levels, this tool recalculates levels bar-by-bar using a rolling window of volume-weighted averages, making it highly relevant for intraday traders, scalpers, swing traders, and algorithmic systems alike.
-- What This Indicator Does --
This tool calculates a rolling VWAP-based pivot level, and surrounds that central pivot with up to five upper bands (R1–R5) and five lower bands (S1–S5). These act as dynamic zones of potential resistance (R) and support (S), adapting in real time to price and volume changes.
Rather than relying on static session or daily data, this indicator provides continually evolving levels, offering more relevant levels during sideways action, trending periods, and breakout conditions.
-- How the Bands Are Calculated --
Pivot (VWAP Pivot):
The core of this system is a rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price, calculated over a user-defined window (default 20 bars). This ensures that each bar’s price impact is weighted by its volume, giving a more accurate view of fair value during the selected lookback.
Volume-Weighted Range (VW Range):
The highest high and lowest low over the same window are used to calculate the volatility range — this acts as a spread factor.
Support & Resistance Bands (S1–S5, R1–R5):
The bands are offset above and below the pivot using multiples of the VW Range:
R1 = Pivot + (VW Range × multiplier)
R2 = R1 + (VW Range × multiplier)
R3 = R2 + (VW Range x multiplier)
...
S1 = Pivot − (VW Range × multiplier)
S2 = S1 − (VW Range × multiplier)
S3 = S2 - (VW Range x multiplier)
...
You can control the multiplier manually (default is 0.25), to widen or tighten band spacing.
Smoothing (Optional):
To prevent erratic movements, you can optionally toggle on/off a simple moving average to the pivot line (default length = 20), providing a smoother trend base for the bands.
-- How to Use It --
This indicator can be used for:
Support and resistance identification:
Price often reacts to R1/S1, and the outer bands (R4/R5 or S4/S5) act as overshoot zones or strong reversal areas.
Trend context:
If price is respecting upper bands (R2–R3), the trend is likely bullish. If price is pressing into S3 or lower, it may indicate sustained selling pressure or a breakdown.
Volatility framing:
The distance between bands adjusts based on price range over the rolling window. In tighter markets, the bands compress — in volatile moves, they expand. This makes the indicator self-adaptive.
Mean reversion trades:
A move into R4/R5 or S4/S5 without continuation can be a sign of exhaustion — potential for reversal toward the pivot.
Alerting:
Built-in alerts are available for crosses of all major bands (R1–R5, S1–S5), enabling trade automation or scalp alerts with ease.
-- Visual Features --
Fuchsia Lines: Mark all Resistance (R1–R5) levels.
Lime Lines: Mark all Support (S1–S5) levels.
Gray Circle Line: Marks the rolling pivot (VWAP-based).
-- Customizable Settings --
Rolling Length: Number of bars used to calculate VWAP and VW Range.
Multiplier: Controls how wide the bands are spaced.
Smooth Pivot: Toggle on/off to smooth the central pivot.
Pivot Smoothing Length: Controls how many bars to average when smoothing is enabled.
Offset: Visually shift all bands forward/backward in time.
-- Why Use This Over Standard Pivots? --
Traditional pivots are based on previous session data and remain fixed. That’s useful for static setups, but may become irrelevant as price action evolves. In contrast:
This system updates every bar, adjusting to current price behavior.
It includes volume — a key feature missing from most static pivots.
It shows multiple bands, giving a full view of compression, breakout potential, or trend exhaustion.
-- Who Is This For? --
This tool is ideal for:
Day traders & scalpers who need relevant intraday levels.
Swing traders looking for evolving areas of confluence.
Algorithmic/systematic traders who rely on quantifiable, volume-aware support/resistance.
Traders on all assets: works on crypto, stocks, futures, forex — any chart that has volume.
Major Session Highs/LowsThis indicator creates horizontal lines at major session high/lows (US, London, and Asian). The script updates the lines automatically, on session close.
For instance, when viewing during the US session, after the London overlap, horizontal lines will be displayed at the following levels.
The high/low of the most recent London session.
The high/low of the most recent Asian session.
The high/low of the last full US session, i.e. the session of the day prior.
When the current US session closes, the US levels automatically update.
KeyLevelsPivotsIndicator Name: Key Levels with Pivots
This indicator identifies key support and resistance levels using pivot high and pivot low values derived from TradingView’s built-in functions (ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow). When a new pivot is detected, the indicator checks if a similar level—within a specified percentage threshold (for example, ±1%) of the pivot value—already exists. If no such level is present, a horizontal line is drawn at that pivot level.
The drawn level extends to the right, automatically updating until one of two conditions occurs:
A breakout takes place—defined as the price moving beyond the level by the specified percentage—and then the level is fixed (truncated) at the bar where the breakout occurred.
The level reaches a maximum age (expressed in bars, e.g., 750 bars for a daily timeframe which approximates 3 years). In this case, the level is fixed at that maximum age.
Once fixed, the level no longer updates, allowing traders to view historically significant support and resistance levels from today's date up to approximately three years back. Additionally, the indicator prevents the re-plotting of a level if a similar level already exists within the defined percentage threshold, thereby avoiding duplicate reflections of the same level unless a breakout occurs.
OpeningRange (Trading_Tix)Purpose:
The indicator highlights the high, low, and middle (50%) price levels of a specified session's opening range. These levels can serve as key support and resistance zones for trading strategies. The indicator also offers options to extend these levels beyond the session into later timeframes, making it useful for tracking breakout or trend continuation setups.
Key Features:
1. Session Detection:
The indicator identifies a specific session period using the user-defined Session Time. It calculates the start time, high, and low prices during this period:
rangeTime: Defines the session time range (default: 5:00 PM to 2:59 AM).
extendTime: Defines the extended time range where lines/backgrounds can be prolonged.
2. Opening Range Calculation:
High (high_val) and Low (low_val)**:
Tracks the highest and lowest prices during the session.
Middle Line:
A midpoint is calculated by averaging high_val and low_val.
3. Visual Elements:
Horizontal Lines:
Drawn at the high, low, and middle levels.
Customizable in width and color.
Shaded Background Box:
Covers the range between high and low prices.
The box’s color and transparency can be adjusted.
Line and Box Extension:
Optionally extends these elements into the extended time range.
4. Customization:
Users have the flexibility to:
Toggle visibility of lines, middle line, and background box.
Adjust colors, line thickness, and style.
Enable or disable the extension of lines and backgrounds into the extended period.
How It Works:
Initialization:
The script initializes variables to store range data (startTime, high_val, low_val) and drawing objects (lines, boxes).
It detects whether the current bar falls within the session (inSession) or extended timeframe (inExtend).
Plotting:
During the session:
Deletes previous lines and boxes from prior sessions.
Draws new lines at the high, low, and middle levels.
Creates a background box covering the range, if enabled.
During the extended period:
Extends the session lines and box, if the user has opted for extensions.
Updates:
Continuously adjusts the high/low values and updates the lines as new price data arrives.
Use Cases:
This indicator can be valuable for traders who:
Use the opening range to identify potential breakout zones.
Trade based on price consolidation within the range.
Want a visual representation of key price levels to plan entries and exits.

Confirmed traps fire only after price moves opposite to the trap direction, adding reliability.
Use Trend Filters to Improve Accuracy:
In an uptrend (price above EMA), prefer Trap Lows (buy setups).
In a downtrend (price below EMA), prefer Trap Highs (sell setups).
Use the Exhaustion Guard to Avoid Bad Trades:
This filter blocks signals when price has moved too far from trend, helping avoid late entries.
Recommended Settings:
Best used on 15-minute, 1-hour, or 4-hour charts.
Trend filter ON for trending markets.
Exhaustion guard ON for volatile or stretched markets.
📈 Important Notes:
This script does not repaint once a pivot is confirmed.
Alerts trigger only on confirmed trap signals.
Always combine signals with sound risk management and trading strategy.

⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.
⏰ Alerts & Automation
Enable alerts:
"SMC Long Entry" — fires when a long signal appears.
"SMC Short Entry" — fires when a short signal appears.
You can integrate this with bots via webhook, like:
TradingConnector, 3Commas, Alertatron, etc.
✅ What This Indicator Gives You
High-probability entries using SMC logic
Customizable filters for entry logic
Multi-timeframe confirmation for stronger setups
Suitable for both intraday and swing trading
Custom Opening Range - CommoditiesThe Custom Opening Range Indicator for Commodities is designed for instruments that trade nearly 24 hours, such as crude oil or natural gas. It allows traders to define the Opening Range based on Indian Standard Time (IST)—typically starting at 3:30 AM IST, which aligns with the global commodities market open. Users can customize both the start time and duration of the range (e.g., 5, 15, or 30 minutes). The indicator dynamically plots the high and low of this range and shades the area between them, providing a clear visual reference for breakout or reversal setups during the rest of the trading session.
Anchored Darvas Box## ANCHORED DARVAS BOX
---
### OVERVIEW
**Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle.
The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL
1. **ANCHOR BAR**
*You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**.
2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7**
• `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance.
• `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance.
3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14**
• Price must stay inside ` `.
• Any violation aborts the test; no box is created.
4. **ARMED STATE**
• If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear:
– **Green** at `rangeHigh`
– **Red** at `rangeLow`
• The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout.
5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION**
• **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**.
• **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**.
• Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again.
• Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge.
6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN**
• After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS
• **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence.
• **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows.
• **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks.
• **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable).
• **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box.
---
### USER WORKFLOW
1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open).
2. Watch live as the script:
– Paints the seven-bar range.
– Draws validation lines.
– Locks in the box on breakout.
3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades.
---
### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
• **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break.
• **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility.
• **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket.
• **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk.
---
### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS
• **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open).
• **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile).
• **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data.
---
### FINAL THOUGHTS
Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.
Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES
---
### OVERVIEW
**Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology.
The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout.
Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
* Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world.
* Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent.
* His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.”
* Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box.
* This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE)
**STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**
• Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).
• Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.
• Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.
• Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).
• Immediately transition to STATE 1.
**STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**
• Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).
• If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.
• If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2.
**STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**
• Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.
• Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.
• Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.
• Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:
– **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.
– **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`.
**STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**
• Upon breakout the script:
1. Deletes the live range lines.
2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.
◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.
◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.
3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:
◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.
◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.
• After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL)
* **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments.
* **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise.
* **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes.
* **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge.
---
### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION
* During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold.
* When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction.
* This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag.
---
### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS
* **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box.
* **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals.
* **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative.
* **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples.
* **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset.
---
### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS
* **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility.
* **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned.
* **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets.
* **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation.

### FINAL THOUGHTS
**Auto Darvas Boxes** packages one of the market’s oldest yet still potent price-action frameworks into a modern, self-resetting indicator. Whether you trade equities, futures, crypto, or forex, the script highlights genuine contraction-expansion sequences—Darvas’s original “boxes”—with zero manual effort, letting you focus solely on execution and risk.

[Stop!Loss] ADR Signal ADR Signal - a technical indicator located in a separate window, which displays by default the 80%-level , as well as the 100%-level of the average daily range (ADR) for the last 10 days and compares it with the current intraday range. The indicator helps not only with the use of a mathematical-statistical method to identify a potential reversal at the moment during intraday trading, but can also serves as an effective assistant in risk management.
👉 Basic mechanics of the indicator
Firstly, this indicator tracks the performance of the standard ATR indicator on the daily chart, in other words, ADR (Average Daily Range).
Important ❗️The ATR (Average True Range) indicator was created by J. Welles Wilder Jr. He first introduced ATR in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems", published in 1978. Wilder developed this indicator to measure market volatility to help traders estimate the range of price movements. This indicator is built into TradingView, more details can be found by link: www.tradingview.com
Like ATR , ADR calculates the average true range for a specified period. In this case, the distance in points from the maximum of each day to its minimum is calculated, after which the arithmetic mean is calculated - this is ADR .
👉 Visualization
ADR Signal is located in a separate window on the chart and has 3 levels:
1) "ADR level" (green line) - the same parameter, the calculations of which are briefly described above. There is 100%-level of ATR on the daily chart (ADR).
2) "Current level" (red line) - this is the current price passage within the day, calculated in points. At the start of a new day, this parameter is reset. Therefore, in the indicator window, this line has sharp drops at the start of a new trading day: "A new trading day - the instrument's power reserve is renewed again".
3) "Signal level" (blue line) - this is an individually customized value that demonstrates a certain part of the ADR parameter.
👉 Inputs
1) - is responsible for the ATR indicator period, the value of which will always be calculated on the daily chart. The default value is "10", that is, ATR is calculated for the last 10 days (not including the current one).
2) - signal level (in %). The default value is "0.8", that is, 80%-level of the ADR parameter (set earlier) is calculated.
👉 Style
1) - by default, this level is colored "blue".
2) - by default, this level is colored "red".
3) - by default, this level is colored "green".
👉 How to use this indicator
Important❗️ The two methods of the use of the ADR Signal indicator described below will be most effective when trading intraday (which is highlighted quite well below), so it is more logical to use the indicator information on time periods H1 and below.
1) Identifying potential reversals during intraday trading:
The ADR Signal indicator can be used as a potential individual reversal strategy.
Important ❗️It should be noted that using it in it without additional confirming analysis tools will be a rather aggressive trading approach. Therefore, it is best to support the entry point in particular with other methods.
In this case, the crossing of the red line (the number of points passed within the current day, that is, from the minimum of the current day to its maximum) and the blue line (color of the Signal level based on the default settings), indicates that the trading instrument has passed 80% (based on the default settings for the "Signal level") of its average distance from the maximum to the minimum over the past 10 days (based on the default settings for the "ADR Length"). Such a situation in the context of the mathematical-statistical approach indicates a probable reversal, since the "power reserve" of this instrument is mostly exhausted, so one can expect with a higher probability, at least, a price stop and possibly a reversal. In case of crossing of the red line and the green one (ADR level), it says again that based on the mathematical-statistical approach, this trading instrument has completely exhausted its intraday "power reserve". In this situation, a stop or reversal of the price will be even more likely.
Of course, using the "Signal level" parameter, one can filter out even more reliable situations for potential price reversals within a day, namely, by specifying, for example, 1.5 in the field of this parameter. Under such conditions, in the case of crossing the red and blue lines (based on the default style settings), to say that the trading instrument has passed 150% of its average distance over the last 10 days (based on the default style settings "ADR length"). In this case, the probability of a stop or reversal of the price increases even more.
2) Use in risk management:
In terms of risk management, this indicator is more applicable to open trades. For example, if one had an open Buy-position (especially if it is an intraday trade) and the price has raised significantly during the day, then the crossing of the red line with the blue line , and especially the red line with the green line , may indicate that the price will most likely stop growing, since the "power reserve" is almost or completely exhausted for this instrument within the current day. In this case, one can, at a minimum, move the trade to breakeven or even partially fix the profit.
We will continue to discuss the methods of using this indicator and strategies based on it here. And we are always waiting for your reactions and feedback on this topic 💬.
