WHAT THIS INDICATOR SHOWS
- A daily volatility estimate in percent points, called sigma_day.
- A slow volatility anchor, the 10-year EMA of sigma_day.
- A blended volatility series in percent points:
sigma_blend = (1 − p) * sigma_day + p * EMA_10y(sigma_day)
where p is the Slow weight %, default 30.
- Optional annualization by multiplying by 16, this is a daily-to-annual
conversion used by Robert Carver in his writings.
METHODOLOGY, CREDIT
The estimator follows the approach popularized by Robert Carver
("Systematic Trading", "Advanced Futures Trading Strategies", blog qoppac).
Current daily volatility is computed as an exponentially weighted standard
deviation of daily percent returns, with alpha = 2 / (span + 1).
The slow leg is a long EMA of that volatility series, about 10 years.
The blend uses fixed weights. This keeps the slow leg meaningful through
large price level changes, since the blend is done in percent space first.
MATH DETAILS
Let r_t be daily percent return:
r_t = 100 * (Close_t / Close_{t−1} − 1)
EWMA mean and variance:
m_t = α * r_t + (1 − α) * m_{t−1}
v_t = α * (r_t − m_t)^2 + (1 − α) * v_{t−1}
where α = 2 / (span_current + 1)
Current daily sigma in percent points:
sigma_day = sqrt(v_t)
Slow leg:
sigma_10y = EMA(sigma_day, span_long)
Blend:
sigma_blend = (1 − p) * sigma_day + p * sigma_10y
Annualized option:
sigma_ann = 16 * sigma_blend
INPUTS
- Threshold (percent points): horizontal guide level on the chart.
- Short term span (days): EW stdev span for sigma_day.
- Long term span (days): EMA span for the slow leg, choose about 2500 for 10 years.
- Slow weight %: p in the blend.
- Annualize (x16): plot daily or annualized values.
- Show components: toggles Current and 10y EMA lines.
- The script uses the chart symbol by default.
PLOTS
- Blended σ% as the main line.
- Optional Current σ% and 10y EMA σ%.
- Editable horizontal threshold line in the same units as the plot
(percent points per day or per year).
- Optional EMA 9 and EMA 20 cloud on the blended series, green for uptrend
when EMA 9 is above EMA 20, red otherwise. Opacity is configurable.
HOW TO READ
- Values are percent points of movement per day when not annualized,
for example 1.2 means about 1.2% typical daily move.
- With annualize checked, values are percent points per year, for example 18
means about 18% annualized volatility.
- Use the threshold and the EMA cloud to mark high or low volatility regimes.
NOTES
- All calculations use daily data via request.security at the chart symbol.
- The blend is done in percent space, then optionally annualized, which avoids
bias from the price level.
- This script does not produce trading signals by itself, it is a risk and
regime indicator.

Market State Momentum OscillatorMarket State Momentum Oscillator (MSMO)
Overview
The MSMO combines three elements in one panel:
Momentum oscillator (gray/blue area with aqua signal line)
Market State filter (green/red background area)
Money Flow Index (orange line)
Works on all markets and all timeframes. Non-repainting at bar close.
Colors and meaning
Gray area: Momentum above 0 (bullish bias)
Blue area: Momentum below 0 (bearish bias)
Aqua line: Signal line smoothing the oscillator
Green background: Market state bullish (price above moving average)
Red background: Market state bearish (price below moving average)
Orange line: Money Flow Index (volume-weighted momentum)
How to use
Always wait for confirmation of the green or red market state before acting.
Trend alignment: Watch the slope of the Weekly and Daily 200 MA and Weekly and Daily 50 MA to understand higher-timeframe trend direction. Trade only in alignment with the broader trend.
Entries:
Long: Green state + gray histogram rising + MFI trending up
Short: Red state + blue histogram falling + MFI trending down
Exits: Histogram crossing back through 0, or state background flips against the position.
Users can add chart alerts on plot crossings if needed.
Inputs
Lengths for oscillator pivot, signal smoothing, state moving average, trend weight, return %, and Money Flow Index. Defaults work for most charts.

VWAP Confluência 3x VWAP Confluence 3x — Daily · Weekly · Anchored
Purpose
A pragmatic VWAP suite for execution and risk management. It plots three institutional reference lines: Daily VWAP, Weekly VWAP, and an Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) starting from a user-defined event (news, earnings, session open, swing high/low).
Why it matters
VWAP is the market’s “fair price” weighted by where volume actually traded. Confluence across timeframes and events turns noisy charts into actionable bias and clean levels.
What it does
Daily VWAP — resets each trading day; intraday “fair value.”
Weekly VWAP — resets each week; swing context and larger player defense.
Anchored VWAP — starts at a precise timestamp you set (e.g., news release).
Price source toggle — Typical Price
(
𝐻
+
𝐿
+
𝐶
)
/
3
(H+L+C)/3 or Close.
Visibility switches — enable/disable each line independently.
Anchor marker — labels the first bar of the AVWAP.
Inputs
Show Daily VWAP (on/off)
Show Weekly VWAP (on/off)
Show Anchored VWAP (on/off)
Price Source: Typical (H+L+C)/3 or Close
Anchor Time: timestamp of your event (uses the chart/exchange timezone)
How to anchor to a news event
Find the exact release time as shown in your chart’s timezone.
Open the indicator settings → set Anchor Time to that minute.
The AVWAP begins at that bar and accumulates forward.
Playbook (examples, not signals)
Strong long bias: price above Daily and Weekly VWAP; AVWAP reclaimed after news.
Strong short bias: price below Daily and Weekly; AVWAP reject after news.
Mean-revert zones: price stretches far from the active VWAPs and snaps back; size around VWAP with tight risk.
Targets: opposite VWAP, prior day/week highs/lows, or liquidity pools near AVWAP.
Best used with
Session highs/lows, liquidity sweeps, volume profile, and time-of-day filters.
Notes & limitations
Works best on markets with reliable volume (equities, futures, liquid crypto). FX spot uses synthetic volume—interpret accordingly.
Anchor Time respects the chart’s timezone. Convert news times before setting.
This is an indicator, not a backtestable strategy. No trade advice.

PumpC PAC & MAsPumpC – PAC & MAs (Open Source)
A complete Price Action Candles (PAC) toolkit combining classical price action patterns (Fair Value Gaps, Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and Volume Imbalances) with a flexible Moving Averages (MAs) module and an advanced bar-coloring system.
This script highlights supply/demand inefficiencies and micro-patterns with forward-extending boxes, recolors zones when mitigated, qualifies patterns with a global High-Volume filter, and ships with ready-to-use alerts. It works across intraday through swing trading on any market (e.g., NASDAQ:QQQ , $CME:ES1!, FX:EURUSD , BITSTAMP:BTCUSD ).
This is an open-source script. The description is detailed so users understand what the script does, how it works, and how to use it. It makes no performance claims and does not provide trade advice.
Acknowledgment & Credits
This script originates from the structural and box-handling logic found in the Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools by makuchaku & eFe. Their pioneering framework provided the base methods for managing arrays of boxes, extending zones forward, and recoloring once mitigated.
Building on that foundation, I have substantially expanded and adapted the code to create a unified Price Action Candles toolkit . This includes Al Brooks–inspired PAC logic, additional patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and the new Volume Imbalance module, along with strong-bar coloring, close-threshold detection, a flexible global High-Volume filter, and a multi-timeframe Moving Averages system.
What it does
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) : Detects 3-bar displacement gaps, plots forward-extending boxes, and optionally recolors them once mitigated.
Inside Bars (IB) : Highlights bars fully contained within the prior candle’s range, with optional high-volume filter.
Hammers (H) & Inverted Hammers (IH) : Identifies rejection candles using configurable body/upper/lower wick thresholds. High-volume qualification optional.
Volume Imbalances (VI) : Detects inter-body gaps where one candle’s body does not overlap the prior candle’s body. Boxes extend forward until wick-based mitigation occurs (only after the two-bar formation completes). Alerts available for creation and mitigation.
Mitigation Recolor : Each pattern can flip to a mitigated color once price trades back through its vertical zone.
Moving Averages (MAs) : Four configurable EMAs/SMAs, with per-MA timeframe, length, color, and clutter-free plotting rules.
Strong Bar Coloring : Highlights bullish/bearish engulfing reversals with different colors for high-volume vs low-volume cases.
Close Threshold Bars : Marks candles that close in the top or bottom portion of their range, even if the body is small. Helps spot continuation pressure before a full trend bar forms.
Alerts : Notifications available for FVG+, FVG−, IB, H, IH, VI creation, and VI mitigation.
Connection to Al Brooks’ PAC teachings
This script reflects Al Brooks’ Price Action Candle methodology. PAC patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, and Inverted Hammers are not trade signals on their own—they gain meaning in context of trend, failed breakouts, and effort vs. result.
By layering in volume imbalances, strong-bar reversals, and volume filters, this script focuses attention on the PACs that show true participation and conviction, aligning with Brooks’ emphasis on reading crowd psychology through price action.
Why the High-Volume filter matters
Volume is a key proxy for conviction. A PAC or VI formed on light volume can be misleading noise; one formed on above-average volume carries more weight.
Elevates Inside Bars that show absorption/compression with heavy activity.
Distinguishes Hammers that reject price aggressively vs. weak drifts.
Filters Inverted Hammers to emphasize true supply pressure.
Highlights VI zones where institutional order flow left inefficiencies.
Differentiates strong engulfing reversals from weaker, low-participation moves.
Inputs & Customization
Inputs are grouped logically for fast configuration:
High-Volume Filter : Global lookback & multiple, per-pattern toggles.
FVG : Visibility, mitigated recolor, box style/transparency, label controls.
IB : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, colors, label settings.
Hammer / IH : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, wick/body thresholds.
VI : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, box style, labels, mitigation alerts.
Strong Bars : Enable/disable, separate colors for high-volume and low-volume outcomes.
Close Threshold Bars : Customizable close thresholds, labels, optional count markers.
MAs : EMA/SMA type, per-MA toggle, length, timeframe, color.
Alerts
New Bullish FVG (+)
New Bearish FVG (−)
New Inside Bar (IB)
New Hammer (H)
New Inverted Hammer (IH)
New Volume Imbalance (VI)
VI Mitigated
Strong Bullish Engulfing / Bearish Engulfing (high- and low-volume variants)
Suggested workflow
Choose your market & timeframe (script works across equities, futures, FX, crypto).
Toggle only the PACs you actually trade. Assign distinct colors for clarity.
Use MAs for directional bias and higher timeframe structure.
Enable High-Volume filters when you want to emphasize conviction.
Watch mitigation recolors to see which levels/zones have been interacted with.
Use alerts selectively for setups aligned with your plan.
Originality
Builds upon Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools (makuchaku & eFe) for FVG/box framework.
Expanded into a unified PAC toolkit including IB, H, IH, and VI patterns.
Brooks-inspired design: Patterns contextualized with volume and trend, not isolated.
Flexible high-volume gating with per-pattern toggles.
New VI integration with wick-based mitigation.
Strong Bar Coloring differentiates conviction vs weak reversals.
MTF-aware MAs prevent clutter while providing structure.
Open-source: Transparent for learning, editing, and extension.

Session Open Candle MarkerThe "Session Open Candle Marker" is a Pine Script indicator designed for forex and futures traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and RP Profits-inspired strategies. It marks the 15-minute opening range candles for the Asia, London, and NY sessions, where institutional "big players" often gather liquidity. Each session’s range is drawn as a rectangle with a customizable midpoint line, ideal for spotting breakouts, retests, and liquidity sweeps.
Features
Session Open Ranges: Plots rectangles for the 15m open candles of Asia (03:00 EEST), London (10:00 EEST), and NY (15:00 EEST), corresponding to 01:00, 08:00, and 13:00 GMT+1.
Customizable Visualization:
Toggle each session (Asia, London, NY) on/off.
Independent high/low label toggles for each session.
Adjustable rectangle color, midpoint line color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width.
Customizable rectangle duration (default: 96 bars, ~24 hours on 15m).
Timezone Flexibility: Default times are set for EEST (UTC+3). Adjust session inputs for your chart’s timezone (e.g., GMT+1: Asia 01:00, London 08:00, NY 13:00; UTC: Asia 00:00, London 07:00, NY 12:00).
Clean Design: Rectangles and labels update dynamically, with proper cleanup to avoid clutter.
Usage:
Setup: Add to a 15m chart (e.g., EURUSD, ES1!). Check your chart’s timezone (Chart Settings > Symbol > Timezone) and adjust session times if needed.
Settings:
Toggle sessions and labels to focus on desired ranges (e.g., London and NY for high volatility).
Customize colors, midpoint line style/width, and rectangle duration.
Trading:
Breakouts/Retests: Trade breakouts above/below the rectangle high/low, with retests back to the range or midpoint (aligned with RP Profits scalping).
Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for price sweeping session highs/lows, reversing for entries (SMC concept).

NQ–2Y CorrelationThis indicator tracks the relationship between the Nasdaq futures (NQ) and the US 2-Year Treasury yield (US02Y). The two typically move in opposite directions. This tool highlights when that relationship breaks down, and when moves become stretched to extremes. This can be useful for traders to find inflection points in price representing either overbought or oversold extremes.
Key Features
Residual Z-Score: Shows how far NQ’s returns deviate from what would be expected given moves in the 2Y. Useful for spotting stretched conditions (+/- 2σ bands).
Correlation Tracking: Fast and slow correlations between NQ and inverted 2Y returns. Helps identify regime shifts in the relationship.
Same-Direction Signals: Green dots mark when NQ and 2Y both move strongly in the same direction (rare alignment). Red dots mark strong opposing moves.
Alerts: Triggers available for residual stretches, correlation flips, and significant same-direction or opposite moves.
Usage
Monitor Z-Score to identify when the equity–rates linkage is stretched beyond typical bounds. I typically use this on the H1 or H4 timeframe.
Watch for correlation regime shifts to spot changing market dynamics. Typically price falling into support or moving into resistance as there is a false correlation or a flip.
Same-direction dots help flag unusual synchronized moves between risk assets and yields - these are especially useful for identifying false moves.
Adaptive Square Levels - for all InstrumentsDescription:
The Adaptive Square Levels indicator generates mathematically derived horizontal trendlines based on perfect squares (1², 2², 3², …) anchored to the first trading day’s open of each month.
✨ Key Features
📐 Adaptive Anchoring: Locks onto the nearest square number to the monthly open.
🔁 Dual Context: Displays both current month and previous month levels for comparison.
➕➖ Expansion: Automatically plots ±10 square levels around the anchor.
🟧 Highlighting: Multiples of 3² (9, 36, 81, …) are marked in orange for quick recognition.
⭐ Focus Line: The nearest square is bold and labeled with a ★.
🏷️ Readable Labels: Large fonts ensure values are clearly visible, even on high-value instruments.
📊 Finite Trendlines: Levels extend only within the month, not as infinite rays.
⚙️ Configurable: Adjustable max price coverage up to 250,000 (default) to suit stocks, indices, futures, or commodities.
⚙️ How It Works
At the start of a new month, the script locks the opening price of the first bar.
It finds the nearest perfect square to that open.
It then plots 10 square levels above and below the anchor.
Current month levels extend to today’s bar; previous month levels stop at month end.
The nearest square line is emphasized with a bold ★ label.
🎯 How to Use
Support & Resistance: Use square levels as natural price magnets or turning points.
Monthly Structure: Compare previous vs. current month grids for context.
Confluence Tool: Combine with price action, Fibonacci retracements, or market profile.
Focus Points: Pay special attention to the ★ bold nearest-square — it often becomes the key pivot for the month.
📚 Study Note: Why Square Numbers?
Square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, …) create a nonlinear but structured grid.
Unlike linear step levels (e.g., round numbers), square levels:
Expand naturally as prices rise.
Provide distinct mathematical anchors.
Have been observed to align with natural support/resistance zones.
This indicator makes square mathematics practical by adapting them to live market opens.

Script_Algo - ORB Strategy with Filters🔍 Core Concept: This strategy combines three powerful technical analysis tools: Range Breakout, the SuperTrend indicator, and a volume filter. Additionally, it features precise customization of the number of candles used to construct the breakout range, enabling optimized performance for specific assets.
🎯 How It Works:
The strategy defines a trading range at the beginning of the trading session based on a selected number of candles.
It waits for a breakout above the upper or below the lower boundary of this range, requiring a candle close.
It filters signals using the SuperTrend indicator for trend confirmation.
It utilizes trading volume to filter out false breakouts.
⚡ Strategy Features
📈 Entry Points:
Long: Candle close above the upper range boundary + SuperTrend confirmation
Short: Candle close below the lower range boundary + SuperTrend confirmation
🛡️ Risk Management:
Stop-Loss: Set at the opposite range boundary.
Take-Profit: Calculated based on a risk/reward ratio (3:1 by default).
Position Size: 10 contracts (configurable).
⚠️ IMPORTANT SETTINGS
🕐 Time Parameters:
Set the correct time and time zone!
❕ATTENTION: The strategy works ONLY with correct time settings! Set the time corresponding to your location and trading session.
📊 This strategy is optimized for trading TESLA stock!
Parameters are tailored to TESLA's volatility, and trading volumes are adequate for signal filtering. Trading time corresponds to the American session.
📈 If you look at the backtesting results, you can see that the strategy could potentially have generated about 70 percent profit on Tesla stock over six months on 5m timeframe. However, this does not guarantee that results will be repeated in the future; remain vigilant.
⚠️ For other assets, the following is required:
Testing and parameter optimization
Adjustment of time intervals and the number of candles forming the range
Calibration of stop-loss and take-profit levels
⚠️ Limitations and Drawbacks
🔗 Automation Constraints:
❌ Cannot be directly connected via Webhook to CFD brokers!
Additional IT solutions are required for automation, thus only manual trading based on signals is possible.
📉 Risk Management:

Test on historical data before live use.
Start with a demo account.
💪 Strategy Advantages
✅ Combined approach – multiple signal filters
✅ Clear entry and exit rules
✅ Visual signals on the chart
✅ Volume-based false breakout filtering
✅ Automatic position management
🎯 Usage Recommendations
Always test the strategy on historical data.
Start with small trading volumes.
Ensure time settings are correct.
Adapt parameters to current market volatility.
Use only for stocks – futures and Forex require adaptation.
📚 Suitable Timeframes - M1-M15
Only highly liquid stocks
🍀 I wish all subscribers good luck in trading and steady profits!

IBS markerIndicator Description
This indicator provides a detailed analysis of the structure and volatility of each candlestick. It is designed to help traders better understand the balance between buying and selling pressure within individual bars, as well as the short-term volatility environment.
📌 Features
Candlestick Structure Analysis
Calculates the relative percentage of the upper wick, lower wick, and real body of each candle.
Helps traders visually and numerically evaluate whether a candle is dominated by bullish, bearish, or indecisive pressure.
IBS (Intraday Bar Strength)
Computes the Intraday Bar Strength value, showing where the close is located relative to the high-low range.
A high IBS indicates strong closing near the high, while a low IBS indicates weakness near the low.
Range Measurements
Displays the candlestick range in both price units and ticks.
Useful for traders who need precise range data for scalping or range-based strategies.
ATR (Average True Range) Volatility Filter
ATR is included with a configurable period setting.
Provides a contextual measure of volatility, helping traders compare current bar size against recent market behavior.
Dynamic Chart Labels
Key values (such as wick percentages, IBS, and range) are displayed directly on the chart through dynamic labels.
This allows for quick interpretation without opening extra panels or indicators.
📈 How to Use
Add the indicator to any chart and configure the settings (ATR period, label visibility, etc.) according to your trading style.
Use wick/body ratios to spot candles with unusual buying/selling pressure.
Combine IBS with ATR to identify potential exhaustion or continuation setups.
The dynamic labels are best used on lower timeframes for scalpers, but they can also provide insights on higher timeframes for swing traders.
🔍 Practical Applications
Identify reversal candles where one wick dominates.
Measure strength of breakouts by comparing candle body % and IBS values.
Detect volatility shifts by monitoring when bar ranges deviate from the ATR baseline.
Support scalping strategies that rely on tick-based range detection.
✅ Notes
This is a standalone indicator and does not require any other script to function.

Bearish Breakaway Dual Session-FVGInspired by the FVG Concept:
This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
See the Figure below as an example:
Bearish consolidated FVG & Bearish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday high is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bearish breakaway candle, which must have its high below the low of the intraday high candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low). Then it will use this candle as an anchor to search for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. breakaways until the session ends.
Session Reset: Occurs at session close.
Repaint Behavior:
If a new intraday (or intra-session) high forms, earlier breakaway patterns are wiped, and the system restarts from the new low.
Counter:
A session-based counter at the top of the chart displays how many bullish consolidated FVGs have formed.
Settings
• Session Setup:
Choose ETH, RTH, or custom session. The indicator is designed for CME futures in New York timezone, but can be adjusted for other markets.
If nothing appears on your chart, check if you loaded it during an inactive session (e.g., weekend/Friday night).
• Max Zones to Show:
Default = 3 (recommended). You can increase, but 3 zones are usually most useful.
• Timeframe:
Best on 1m, 5m, or 15m. (If session range is big, try higher time frame)
Usage:
See this figure as an example
1. Avoid Trading in Wrong Direction
• No Bearish breakaway = No Short trade.
• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong uptrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal
• When a bearish breakaway appears after an intraday high, it signals a potential reversal.
• You will need adjust position sizing, watch out liquidity hunt, and place stop loss.
• Best entries of your preferred choices: (this is your own trading edge)
Retest
Breakout
Engulf
MA cross over
Whatever your favorite approach
• Reversal signal is the strongest when price stays within/below the breakaway candle’s
range. Weak if it breaks above.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:

Size & LeverageSize and Leverage calculator for trading, using market orders. It will calculate maximum possible leverage by default in order to prioritize capital efficiency. If you wish to use manual leverage you need to manually enter it in the settings. The script rounds both auto leverage and size to your liking. Entry price is always last price. Size is the actual size you need to input, adjusted to your leverage, cost means the margin required to open the trade. I made this indicator as a binance futures user.
Advanced Price Ranges ICTThis indicator automatically divides price into fixed ranges (configurable in points or pips) and plots important reference levels such as the high, low, 50% midpoint, and 25%/75% quarters. It is designed to help traders visualize structured price movement, spot confluence zones, and frame their trading bias around clean range-based levels.
🔹 Key Features
Custom Range Size: Define ranges in points (e.g., 100, 50, 25, 10) or in Forex pips.
Forex Mode: Automatically adapts pip size (0.0001 or 0.01 for JPY pairs).
Dynamic Anchoring: Price ranges automatically align to the current price, snapping into blocks.
Multiple Ranges: Option to extend visualization above and below the current active block for a complete grid.
Level Types:
High / Low of the range
50% midpoint
25% and 75% quarters
Custom Styling: Adjustable line colors and widths for each level type.
Labels: Optional right-edge labels showing level type and exact price.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for when price crosses the range high, low, or 50% midpoint.
🔹 Use Cases
Quickly map out 100/50/25/10 point structures like Zeussy’s advanced price range method.
Identify key reaction levels where liquidity is often built or swept.
Support ICT-style concepts like range-based bias, fair value gaps, and liquidity pools.
Works for indices, futures, crypto, and forex.
🔹 Customization
Range increments can be set to any size (default 100).
Toggle which levels are shown (High/Low, Midpoint, Quarters).
Adjustable line widths, colors, and label visibility.
Extend ranges above and below for broader market context.
Offset Strike LinesOffset Strike Lines (OSL) is a tool designed to plot strike-based grid levels by offsetting one symbol against another. It compares two instruments (for example, futures vs. index) and projects evenly spaced horizontal lines above and below a calculated reference price. Each line is annotated with the adjusted counter-symbol price, making it easy to visualize relative levels across markets. Customization options include interval size, number of lines, text size, line and text colors — giving traders a clear, flexible framework for mapping out strike zones and price relationships.
Bullish Breakaway Dual Session-Publish-Consolidated FVG
Inspired by the FVG Concept:
This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
Bullish consolidated FVG & Bullish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday low is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bullish breakaway candle, which must have its low above the high of the intraday low candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low). Then it will use this candle as an anchor to search for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. breakaways until the session ends.
Session Reset: Occurs at session close.
Repaint Behavior:
If a new intraday (or intra-session) low forms, earlier breakaway patterns are wiped, and the system restarts from the new low.
Counter:
A session-based counter at the top of the chart displays how many bullish consolidated FVGs have formed.
Settings
• Session Setup:
Choose ETH, RTH, or custom session. The indicator is designed for CME futures in New York timezone, but can be adjusted for other markets.
If nothing appears on your chart, check if you loaded it during an inactive session (e.g., weekend/Friday night).
• Max Zones to Show:
Default = 3 (recommended). You can increase, but 3 zones are usually most useful.
• Timeframe:
Best on 1m, 5m, or 15m. (If session range is big, try higher time frame)
Usage
1. Avoid Trading in Wrong Direction
• No bullish breakaway = No long trade.
• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong downtrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal
• When a bullish breakaway appears after an intraday low, it signals a potential reversal.
• You will need adjust position sizing, watch out liquidity hunt, and place stop loss.
• Best entries of your preferred choices: (this is your own trading edge)
Retest
Breakout
Engulf
MA cross over
Whatever your favorite approach
• Reversal signal is the strongest when price stays within/above the breakaway candle’s
range. Weak if it breaks below.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Failed Trade Example:
This indicator will repaint if a new intraday session low is updated. So it is possible to have a failed trade. Here is an example from the same session in 1m chart. However, if you enter the trade later at another bullish breakaway candle signal. The loss can be mitigated by the profit.
Therefore you should use smaller position size for your 1st trade. You should also considering using 5m chart to avoid 1m bull trap. In this example, if you use 5m chart, you can totally avoid this failed trade.
If you enter the trade, you will see the intraday low is stop loss hunted. You can also see the 1st bullish breakaway candle is super weak. There are a lot of candles below the breakaway candle low, so it is very possible to fail.
In the next chart, you can see the failed traded get stop loss hunted. However you can enter another trade with huge profit to win back the loss from the 1st trade if you follow the rule.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:
1. Prevents wrong-direction trades.
2. Confirms trend entry after reversal signals.
3. Filters false positives using higher timeframes.
How to sharp your edge:
1. ⏳Extreme patience⏳: Do not guess the bottom during a downtrend before a confirmed bullish breakaway candle. If you get caught, have the courage to cut loss. This is literally the most important usage of this indicator. Again, this is the most important rule of this indicator and actually the hardest rule to follow.
2. 🛎Better Entry🛎: After a confirmed bullish breakaway, you will always have a good opportunity to enter the trade using established trading technique. Your edge will come from the position size, draw down, stop loss placement, risk/reward ratio.
3. ✂Cut loss fast✂: If you enter a trade according to the rule, but you are still not making profit for a period of time, and the price is below the low of the breakaway candle. It is very likely you may hit stop loss soon (intraday session low). It won't be a bad idea to cut loss before stop loss hit.
4. 🔂Reentry with confidence after stop loss🔂: a stop loss will not invalidate the indicator. If you see a second chance to reenter, you should still follow the trade guide and rule.
5. 🕔Time frame matter🕔: try 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m time frame. Over time, you should know what time frame work best for you and the market. Higher time frame will reduce the noise of false positive trade, but it comes with a higher stop loss placement and less max profit, however it may come with a lower draw down. Time frame will matter depending on the range of the session. If the session range is small (<0.5%), lower time frame is good. If session range is big (>1%), 5m time frame is better. Remember to wait for candle to close, if you use higher time frame.

Volatility Zones (VStop + Bands) — Fixed (v2)📝 What this indicator is
This script is called “Volatility Zones (VStop + Bands)”.
It is an ATR-based volatility indicator that combines dynamic volatility bands, a Volatility Stop line (VStop), and volatility spike detection into a single tool.
Unlike moving average–based indicators, this tool does not rely on averages of price direction. Instead, it measures the market’s true volatility and reacts to expansions or contractions in price ranges.
________________________________________
⚙️ How it is built
The indicator uses several volatility-based components:
1. Average True Range (ATR)
o ATR is calculated over a user-defined length.
o It measures how much price typically moves in a given number of bars, making it the foundation of this indicator.
2. Volatility Bands
o Upper band = close + ATR × factor
o Lower band = close - ATR × factor
o The area between them is shaded.
o This gives traders an immediate visual sense of market volatility width — wide bands = high volatility, narrow bands = quiet market.
3. Volatility Stop (VStop)
o A stateful trailing stop based on ATR.
o It tracks the highest (or lowest) price in the current trend and places a stop offset by ATR × multiplier.
o When price crosses this stop, the indicator flips trend direction.
o This creates a dynamic stop-and-reverse mechanism that adapts to volatility.
4. Trend Zones
o When the trend is bullish, the stop is green and the chart background is shaded softly green.
o When bearish, the stop is red and the background is shaded softly red.
o This makes the market’s directional bias visually clear at all times.
5. Flip Signals (Buy/Sell Arrows)
o Whenever the VStop flips, arrows appear:
Green BUY arrows below price when the trend turns bullish.
Red SELL arrows above price when the trend turns bearish.
o These are also tied to built-in alerts for automation.
6. Volatility Spike Detection
o The script compares current ATR to its recent average.
o If ATR suddenly expands above a threshold, a small yellow “VOL” marker appears at the top of the chart.
o This highlights potential breakout phases or unusual volatility events.
7. Stop Labels
o At every trend flip, a small label appears at the bar, showing the exact stop level.
o This makes it easy to use the stop as a reference for risk management.
________________________________________
📊 How it works in practice
• When price is above the VStop line, the market is considered in an uptrend.
• When price is below the VStop line, the market is in a downtrend.
• The bands expand/contract with volatility, helping traders gauge risk and position sizing.
• Flip arrows signal when trend direction changes.
• Volatility spikes warn traders that the market is entering a higher-risk phase, often before strong moves.
________________________________________
🎯 How it may help traders
• Trend following → Helps traders identify whether the market is trending up or down.
• Stop placement → Provides a dynamic stop level that adjusts to volatility.
• Volatility awareness → Shaded bands and spike markers show when the market is likely to become unstable.
• Trade timing → Flip arrows and labels help identify potential entry or exit points.
• Risk management → Wide bands indicate higher risk; narrow bands suggest safer, tighter ranges.
________________________________________
🌍 In what markets it is useful
Because the indicator is based purely on volatility, it works across all asset classes and timeframes:
• Stocks & ETFs → Helps identify breakouts and long-term trends.
• Forex → Very useful in spot FX where volatility shifts frequently.
• Crypto → ATR reacts strongly to high volatility, helping traders adapt stops dynamically.
• Futures & Commodities → Great for tracking trending commodities and managing risk.
Scalpers, swing traders, and position traders can all benefit by adjusting the ATR length and multipliers to suit their trading style.
________________________________________
💡 Originality of this script
This is not just a mashup of existing indicators. It integrates:
• ATR-based Volatility Bands for context,
• A stateful Volatility Stop (adapted and rewritten cleanly),
• Flip arrows and labels for actionable trading signals,
• Volatility spike detection to highlight regime shifts.
The result is a comprehensive volatility-aware trading tool that goes beyond just plotting ATR or trend stops.
________________________________________
🔔 Alerts
• Buy Flip → triggers when the trend changes bullish.
• Sell Flip → triggers when the trend changes bearish.
Traders can connect these alerts to automated strategies, bots, or notification systems.
Intraday Spark Chart [AstrideUnicorn]The Intraday Spark Chart (ISC) is a minimalist yet powerful tool designed to track an asset’s performance relative to its daily opening price. Inspired by Nasdaq's trading-floor analog dashboards, it visualizes intraday percentage changes as a color-coded sparkline, helping traders quickly gauge momentum and session bias.
Ideal for: Day trading, scalping, and multi-asset monitoring.
Best paired with: 1m to 4H timeframes (auto-warns on higher TFs).
Key metrics:
Real-time % change from daily open.
Final daily % change (updated at session close).
Daily open price labels for orientation.
HOW TO USE
Visual Guide
Sparkline Plot:
A green area/line indicates price is above the daily open (bullish).
A red area/line signals price is below the daily open (bearish).
The baseline (0%) represents the daily open price.
Session Markers:
The dotted vertical lines separate trading days.
Gray labels near the baseline show the exact daily open price at the start of each session.
Dynamic Labels:
The labels in the upper left corner of each session range display the current (or final) daily % change. Color matches the trend (green/red) for instant readability.
Practical Use Cases
Opening Range Breakouts: Spot early momentum by observing how price reacts to the daily open.
Multi-Asset Screening: Compare intraday strength across symbols by choosing an asset in the indicator settings panel.
Session Close Prep: Anticipate daily settlement by tracking the final % change (useful for futures/swing traders).
SETTINGS
Asset (Input Symbol) : Defaults to the current chart symbol. Choose any asset to monitor its price action without switching charts - ideal for intermarket analysis or correlation tracking.
Meta-LR ForecastThis indicator builds a forward-looking projection from the current bar by combining twelve time-compressed “mini forecasts.” Each forecast is a linear-regression-based outlook whose contribution is adaptively scaled by trend strength (via ADX) and normalized to each timeframe’s own volatility (via that timeframe’s ATR). The result is a 12-segment polyline that starts at the current price and extends one bar at a time into the future (1× through 12× the chart’s timeframe). Alongside the plotted path, the script computes two summary measures:
* Per-TF Bias% — a directional efficiency × R² score for each micro-forecast, expressed as a percent.
* Meta Bias% — the same score, but applied to the final, accumulated 12-step path. It summarizes how coherent and directional the combined projection is.
This tool is an indicator, not a strategy. It does not place orders. Nothing here is trade advice; it is a visual, quantitative framework to help you assess directional bias and trend context across a ladder of timeframe multiples.
The core engine fits a simple least-squares line on a normalized price series for each small forecast horizon and extrapolates one bar forward. That “trend” forecast is paired with its mirror, an “anti-trend” forecast, constructed around the current normalized price. The model then blends between these two wings according to current trend strength as measured by ADX.
ADX is transformed into a weight (w) in using an adaptive band centered on the rolling mean (μ) with width derived from the standard deviation (σ) of ADX over a configurable lookback. When ADX is deeply below the lower band, the weight approaches -1, favoring anti-trend behavior. Inside the flat band, the weight is near zero, producing neutral behavior. Clearly above the upper band, the weight approaches +1, favoring a trend-following stance. The transitions between these regions are linear so the regime shift is smooth rather than abrupt.
You can shape how quickly the model commits to either wing using two exponents. One exponent controls how aggressively positive weights lean into the trend forecast; the other controls how aggressively negative weights lean into the anti-trend forecast. Raising these exponents makes the response more gradual; lowering them makes the shift more decisive. An optional switch can force full anti-trend behavior when ADX registers a deep-low condition far below the lower tail, if you prefer a categorical stance in very flat markets.
A key design choice is volatility normalization. Every micro-forecast is computed in ATR units of its own timeframe. The script fetches that timeframe’s ATR inside each security call and converts normalized outputs back to price with that exact ATR. This avoids scaling higher-timeframe effects by the chart ATR or by square-root time approximations. Using “ATR-true” for each timeframe keeps the cross-timeframe accumulation consistent and dimensionally correct.
Bias% is defined as directional efficiency multiplied by R², expressed as a percent. Directional efficiency captures how much net progress occurred relative to the total path length; R² captures how well the path aligns with a straight line. If price meanders without net progress, efficiency drops; if the variation is well-explained by a line, R² rises. Multiplying the two penalizes choppy, low-signal paths and rewards sustained, coherent motion.
The forward path is built by converting each per-timeframe Bias% into a small ATR-sized delta, then cumulatively adding those deltas to form a 12-step projection. This produces a polyline anchored at the current close and stepping forward one bar per timeframe multiple. Segment color flips by slope, allowing a quick read of the path’s direction and inflection.
Inputs you can tune include:
* Max Regression Length. Upper bound for each micro-forecast’s regression window. Larger values smooth the trend estimate at the cost of responsiveness; smaller values react faster but can add noise.
* Price Source. The price series analyzed (for example, close or typical price).
* ADX Length. Period used for the DMI/ADX calculation.
* ATR Length (normalization). Window used for ATR; this is applied per timeframe inside each security call.
* Band Lookback (for μ, σ). Lookback used to compute the adaptive ADX band statistics. Larger values stabilize the band; smaller values react more quickly.
* Flat half-width (σ). Width of the neutral band on both sides of μ. Wider flats spend more time neutral; narrower flats switch regimes more readily.
* Tail width beyond flat (σ). Distance from the flat band edge to the extreme trend/anti-trend zone. Larger tails create a longer ramp; smaller tails reach extremes sooner.
* Polyline Width. Visual thickness of the plotted segments.
* Negative Wing Aggression (anti-trend). Exponent shaping for negative weights; higher values soften the tilt into mean reversion.
* Positive Wing Aggression (trend). Exponent shaping for positive weights; lower values make trend commitment stronger and sooner.
* Force FULL Anti-Trend at Deep-Low ADX. Optional hard switch for extremely low ADX conditions.
On the chart you will see:
* A 12-segment forward polyline starting from the current close to bar\_index + 1 … +12, with green segments for up-steps and red for down-steps.
* A small label at the latest bar showing Meta Bias% when available, or “n/a” when insufficient data exists.
Interpreting the readouts:
* Trend-following contexts are characterized by ADX above the adaptive upper band, pushing w toward +1. The blended forecast leans toward the regression extrapolation. A strongly positive Meta Bias% in this environment suggests directional alignment across the ladder of timeframes.
* Mean-reversion contexts occur when ADX is well below the lower tail, pushing w toward -1 (or forcing anti-trend if enabled). After a sharp advance, a negative Meta Bias% may indicate the model projects pullback tendencies.
* Neutral contexts occur when ADX sits inside the flat band; w is near zero, the blended forecast remains close to current price, and Meta Bias% tends to hover near zero.
These are analytical cues, not rules. Always corroborate with your broader process, including market structure, time-of-day behavior, liquidity conditions, and risk limits.
Practical usage patterns include:
* Momentum confirmation. Combine a rising Meta Bias% with higher-timeframe structure (such as higher highs and higher lows) to validate continuation setups. Treat the 12th step’s distance as a coarse sense of potential room rather than as a target.
* Fade filtering. If you prefer fading extremes, require ADX to be near or below the lower ramp before acting on counter-moves, and avoid fades when ADX is decisively above the upper band.
* Position planning. Because per-step deltas are ATR-scaled, the path’s vertical extent can be mentally mapped to typical noise for the instrument, informing stop distance choices. The script itself does not compute orders or size.
* Multi-timeframe alignment. Each step corresponds to a clean multiple of your chart timeframe, so the polyline visualizes how successively larger windows bias price, all referenced to the current bar.
House-rules and repainting disclosures:
* Indicator, not strategy. The script does not execute, manage, or suggest orders. It displays computed paths and bias scores for analysis only.
* No performance claims. Past behavior of any measure, including Meta Bias%, does not guarantee future results. There are no assurances of profitability.
* Higher-timeframe updates. Values obtained via security for higher-timeframe series can update intrabar until the higher-timeframe bar closes. The forward path and Meta Bias% may change during formation of a higher-timeframe candle. If you need confirmed higher-timeframe inputs, consider reading the prior higher-timeframe value or acting only after the higher-timeframe close.
* Data sufficiency. The model requires enough history to compute ATR, ADX statistics, and regression windows. On very young charts or illiquid symbols, parts of the readout can be unavailable until sufficient data accumulates.
* Volatility regimes. ATR normalization helps compare across timeframes, but unusual volatility regimes can make the path look deceptively flat or exaggerated. Judge the vertical scale relative to your instrument’s typical ATR.
Tuning tips:
* Stability versus responsiveness. Increase Max Regression Length to steady the micro-forecasts but accept slower response. If you lower it, consider slightly increasing Band Lookback so regime boundaries are not too jumpy.
* Regime bands. Widen the flat half-width to spend more time neutral, which can reduce over-trading tendencies in chop. Shrink the tail width if you want the model to commit to extremes sooner, at the cost of more false swings.
* Wing shaping. If anti-trend behavior feels too abrupt at low ADX, raise the negative wing exponent. If you want trend bias to kick in more decisively at high ADX, lower the positive wing exponent. Small changes have large effects.
* Forced anti-trend. Enable the deep-low option only if you explicitly want a categorical “markets are flat, fade moves” policy. Many users prefer leaving it off to keep regime decisions continuous.
Troubleshooting:
* Nothing plots or the label shows “n/a.” Ensure the chart has enough history for the ADX band statistics, ATR, and the regression windows. Exotic or illiquid symbols with missing data may starve the higher-timeframe computations. Try a more liquid market or a higher timeframe.
* Path flickers or shifts during the bar. This is expected when any higher-timeframe input is still forming. Wait for the higher-timeframe close for fully confirmed behavior, or modify the code to read prior values from the higher timeframe.
* Polyline looks too flat or too steep. Check the chart’s vertical scale and recent ATR regime. Adjust Max Regression Length, the wing exponents, or the band widths to suit the instrument.
Integration ideas for manual workflows:
* Confluence checklist. Use Meta Bias% as one of several independent checks, alongside structure, session context, and event risk. Act only when multiple cues align.
* Stop and target thinking. Because deltas are ATR-scaled at each timeframe, benchmark your proposed stops and targets against the forward steps’ magnitude. Stops that are much tighter than the prevailing ATR often sit inside normal noise.
* Session context. Consider session hours and microstructure. The same ADX value can imply different tradeability in different sessions, particularly in index futures and FX.
This indicator deliberately avoids:
* Fixed thresholds for buy or sell decisions. Markets vary and fixed numbers invite overfitting. Decide what constitutes “high enough” Meta Bias% for your market and timeframe.
* Automatic risk sizing. Proper sizing depends on account parameters, instrument specifications, and personal risk tolerance. Keep that decision in your risk plan, not in a visual bias tool.
* Claims of edge. These measures summarize path geometry and trend context; they do not ensure a tradable edge on their own.
Summary of how to think about the output:
* The script builds a 12-step forward path by stacking linear-regression micro-forecasts across increasing multiples of the chart timeframe.
* Each micro-forecast is blended between trend and anti-trend using an adaptive ADX band with separate aggression controls for positive and negative regimes.
* All computations are done in ATR-true units for each timeframe before reconversion to price, ensuring dimensional consistency when accumulating steps.
* Bias% (per-timeframe and Meta) condenses directional efficiency and trend fidelity into a compact score.
* The output is designed to serve as an analytical overlay that helps assess whether conditions look trend-friendly, fade-friendly, or neutral, while acknowledging higher-timeframe update behavior and avoiding prescriptive trade rules.
Use this tool as one component within a disciplined process that includes independent confirmation, event awareness, and robust risk management.
