Open RangeThis is a simple script that will look back a set number of candles at a specified time (example: Ny Open) and find the "High and Low " of the range/ market in the given look back period. It will then draw two lines and the range zone as a box. Breakout traders can use these levels to help find interesting areas for a breakout. Reversal traders can use these levels to help locate false breakouts.
Simple type in your time zone Example: GMT-4
Set the time you want the indicator to draw the start line Example: 8:30am
then set the candle look back Example: 60
Hope this script helps spark some ideas
Happy trading

B4Signals Indicator Premium Addon SqueezeB4 Squeeze is a chop zone indicator that finds potential breakouts in Realtime. It filters price action to Identify and draw a squeeze threshold (chop zone) live on your upper chart. It identifies both Squeeze Zones and Breakouts/Breakdowns.
How it works?
- The script finds highest/lowest bars during the SQZ according to the ”B4Signals Indicator“.
- By using the direction and highest/lowest bar info it calculates SQZ Zones in realtime .
- The Indicator helps you stay out of the chop during the SQZ and allows you to exploit explosive moves when it breaks out.
- When price exits the SQZ threshold, price will usually explode up or down changing the color of the box to indicate breakout direction.
- Then SQZ Zone extends automatically if there is no breakout.
The One Trader Toolkit - Open AccessThis script is the open version of my existing invite-only script of the same name and has been opened for access to the community to use, but not modify or clone in any way.
This has been done as the invite-only script cannot be changed back to a public script and vice-versa, keeping in line with Tradingview House Rules.
The code is based on a full strategy that has been explained in detail as follows:
// Step 1:
// We will consider the 200ema a standard to assess the average price over the longer term.
// If the current price on the daily chart is seen above the 200ema, we will consider that the stock is in a long term uptrend.
// If the current price on the daily chart is seen below the 200ema, we will consider that the stock is in a long term downtrend.
// In order to assess the long term trend, a band is plotted between the CLOSE (Average price), HIGH (Average High Price), LOW (Average Low Price) of the last 200 days.
// This band has been color coded for easy visual recognition. Green fill between ema close and ema high. Red fill between ema close and ema low.
// The methodology explains that the trader should have a long bias when the price is above the green part of the band and a short bias while price is below the red part of the band.
// Step 2:
// Now we come to a lower timeframe analysis with the 200ema moving average on the hourly timeframe.
// This is marked by a very distinct solid blue line which cannot be missed.
// If the price is still above this moving average and correlates with the higher timeframe trend in step 1, then we will continue our analysis.
// Otherwise, the stock is not ready to be filtered down and we will move to another stock.
// Step 3:
// On the same hourly timeframe, we will continue further analysing the position of a red 50ema line as compared to the same blue 200ema line or a separetely plotted gray 200ema line.
// If the 50ema is above the blue or the gray 200ema line (and in correlation with trend in steps 1-3), then the stock is believed to be bullish.
// If the 50ema is below the blue or the gray 200ema line (and in correlation with trend in steps 1-3), then the stock is believed to be bearish.
// Step 4:
// After multiple confirmation of a continuing trend, we will try to ascertain a good entry point.
// On the one hour timeframe, we will apply the Phase Changer.
// Phase Changer configuration is derived from a common setup which includes the 8ema and 20ema lines.
// I have implemented it in the Indian stock market setup with an added theory that we ignore the Phase Changer position on any timeframe higher than hourly timeframe.
// So the Phase Changer is not only an indication of the continuing trend, but also a great indicator of what the price is trying to achieve through its interaction with the lines.
// If 8ema is above the 20ema on the hourly chart, then the stock is believed to be bullish.
// If 8ema is below the 20ema on the hourly chart, then the stock is believed to be bearish.
// The same will be done on 15 minutes timeframe.
// In either setup, if there is a pullback and price is touching any of the two ema lines and eventually gets rejected towards the continuing trend, then it is an indication of a good entry at the failure of the pullback.
// Step 5:
// After confirmation through Daily, Hourly and 15 minutes timeframes, we will now come to the execution (5 Minute) timeframe.
// Apply the breakfast range. This is the range formed during the first hour of trading.
// The high of the first hour and the low of the first hour form the breakfast breakout.
// This method is also widely known as Open Range Breakout (ORB).
// The breakfast range is commonly used for stock indices only on a Monday morning, we use it for all days of the week and mostly on stocks.
// If the breakout is consistent with the trend that we have been confirming since step 1, we will enter the trade.
// Step 6:
// An additional daily range has been plotted for those who would like to trade the breakout of the daily range.
// This is the sum of the open price of the day the range of the previous day.
// The green line is used as resistance and the red line is used as support.
// Any breakout of those lines will be considered a strong continuation of the trend, mostly until the end of the trading session.
// Miscellaneous
// The first hour of the trading day is marked yellow with a black solid bar marked at the end of the first hour.
// All trades will be taken only after 10:20am.
// Stoploss Settings
// We will be calculating stoploss with the help of the ATR values.
// I have defined two stop loss levels, one for safe traders and the other for aggressive traders.
// Safe traders will select the safe option in a long trade or short trade respectively and mark the stoploss indicated at the time of taking the breakout entry.
// Aggressive traders on the other hand will select the aggressive stop loss option in long or short trades respectively and mark the stoploss indicated at the time of taking the breakout entry.
Litt Opening Range BreakoutThe Litt ORB, Opening Range Breakout, is a tool used by many intraday traders to take advantage of short-term momentum. This script plots extensions based on the opening range and then color candles depending on where the closing price of that candle is. The opening range is defined by either the first 30 or 60 minutes of a new trading day. During that time the opening ranges are set. If the opening range time has passed and we start to break above the Opening Range High that is a good indication that a Trend Day to the upside could be forming. When a stock takes out the range high from the first 30 or 60 minutes this is called an Opening Range Breakout.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
You can see the ORH and ORL (Opening Range) lines on the chart. The other lines are extension lines from the Opening Range. These are used as price targets for the end of Opening Range breakouts.
The candles are colored as follows.
If we are above the ORH then we use Bull Color 1.
If we are below the ORL then we use Bull Color 2.
If we are above the ORM, Opening Range Mid or the halfway point between the ORH and the ORL, we color Bull Color 2.
If we are below the ORM then we color Bear Color 2.
If the current time is still within the Opening Range then we color the Opening Range Color.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
TradeChartist Volatility Trader ™TradeChartist Volatility Trader is a Price Volatility based Trend indicator that uses simple to visualize Volatility steps and a Volatility Ribbon to trade volatility breakouts and price action based on lookback length.
===================================================================================================================
Features of ™TradeChartist Volatility Trader
======================================
The Volatility steps consists of an Upper band, a Lower band and a Mean price line that are used for detecting the breakouts and also used in plotting the Volatility Ribbon based on the price action. The Mean Line is colour coded based on Bull/Bear Volatility and exhaustion based on Price action trend.
In addition to the system of Volatility Steps and Volatility Ribbon, ™TradeChartist Volatility Trader also plots Bull and Bear zones based on high probability volatility breakouts and divides the chart into Bull and Bear trade zones.
Use of External Filter is also possible by connecting an Oscillatory (like RSI, MACD, Stoch or any Oscillator) or a non-Oscillatory (Moving Average, Supertrend, any price scale based plots) Signal to confirm the Bull and Bear Trade zones. When the indicator detects the Volatility breakouts, it also checks if the connected external signal agrees with the trend before generating the Bull/Bear entries and plotting the trade zones.
Alerts can be created for Long and Short entries using Once per bar close .
===================================================================================================================
Note:
Higher the lookback length, higher the Risk/Reward from the trade zones.
This indicator does not repaint , but on the alert creation, a potential repaint warning would appear as the script uses security function. Users need not worry as this is normal on scripts that employs security functions. For trust and confidence using the indicator, users can do bar replay to check the plots/trade entries time stamps to make sure the plots and entries stay in the same place.
™TradeChartist Volatility Trader can be connected to ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade to generate Trade Entries, Targets etc by connecting Volatility Trader's Trend Identifier as Oscillatory Signal to Plug and Trade.

Magnetic Zones v1.1 BetaMagnetic Zones v1.1 Beta
This is one of the most powerful and effective indicator which I personally use for Intraday.
It works well for trending stocks and trending days.
What are the Zones?
The zones are basically Retracement and Reversal Zones. The price will take a halt at this zones. So it will be easy to take an entry.
How to use?
Labels:
Pivot = P
Major Zones = R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3
Minor Zones = R0.5, R1.5, R2.5, S0.5, S1.5, S2.5
Previous Day High & Low = PDH, PDL
Breakout:
Opens between Previous Day High or Low and R1 or S1 Zone and taking retracement at the zone can result in a breakout.
Entry Time:
No Entry: 0 to 15min. Wait for the early Algo rush to settle down. Just go through the shortlisted stocks or top gainers and top losers.
Risky Entry: 15min to 30min. It is the right or early time to participate in the beginning of a rally. But, recommended only for experienced, disciplined and planned traders.
Moderate Risk: 30min to 45min
Safe Entry: After 45min to 1hr
Stock Selection Tip:
Use Expanded Floor Pivots to spot Narrow Range stocks.
Entry Tip:
Use Opening Range Breakout (15, 30, 45 or 1hr) to spot false shoot ups.
Entry:
After the retracement on or closer to the zones.
If the retracement happens in between spaces of the zones expect next retracement at the next in between space. Imagine the levels accordingly.
Retracement is the right time to make an entry with minimum stoploss.
Stoploss:
Just below the longest candle which touches the zone.
Target:
If it is a trending stock the price will move easily from one major zone to another major zone.
If the zones are wider on a particular day use the minor zones as target.
Consider the historical support and resistance, highs and lows to confirm the entry or exit.
Indicator Features:
Inclusion of 2nd and 3rd zones: Helpful to identify the target zone and to participation in a major rally.
Clean and cluster free look
Shows only required zones
Hide historical levels
Previous day High and Low levels
Multi time-frame
Caution:
Don't solely depend on this indicator. Always use this with other analyzing tools or methods for more confirmation.

Force IndexWhat is the force index ?
The force index is an oscillator used to confirm price breakout strengths and identify potential trends.
It was popularized by A. Elder.
How the force index is computed ?
Knowing that volume is the fuel of a price movement, reliable breakouts and trend continuation are more likely to occur on high volume breakouts. This is why the force index is computed with the intensity of the price movement, and it's volume , using the formula ema13((close(n) - close(n-1)) * volume ) .
How to use the force index
An important change in the force index indicate a strong momentum in the price action.
You can read more about the force index interpretation on Investopedia
Customization
You can display the indicator as an histogram, or as a line chart.
You can change EMA length, although it's recommended to keep it at default value.
CPR by Anand with PDL/PDH & Breakouts 15/30 minsThis is an enhanced version of CPR by Anand with Configurable previous day high and low and option to configure breakout lines of 15 and 30 mins.
Will be an useful tool for day traders who follows CPR tricks and breakouts.
DepthHouse - Envelope OscillatorDepthHouse Envelope Oscillator is designed to show dynamic support and resistance, along with possible over extension.
The indicator has two main functions. The Standard function (top) and the Shifted function (bottom).
The Standard Function:
The oscillators outermost edges represent dynamic support and resistance. These points can often represent excellent buy and sell opportunities. Especially in a ranging market.
Anything below or above these lines often represent a possible breakout or overexertion in either direction.
The Shift Function:
This works very similar to the standard function, however this actually offsets the calculations x to the right. This can be an excellent tool for breakout traders. In many breakouts, the horizontal lines actually shift from resistance to support, and visa versa depending on trend direction.
With this function enabled, the user can designate the position of the horizontal lines, which adjusts the buy sell signals in the middle as well.
Signals Beta:
Both functions give possible buy and sell signals shown by the circles in the middle. The strength of the signal is shown by the circle size. The larger the circle, the stronger the signal.
This feature is in beta testing is not advised to trade off of.

Arkham ORB Indicator 3.815-Minute ORB Breakout Indicator with Volume Confirmation & Dynamic Risk Management
This closed-source indicator identifies high-probability breakout opportunities during the New York session open (8:30-9:30 AM ET) using a systematic Opening Range Breakout methodology combined with volume validation and adaptive volatility-based risk management.
Core Methodology - How It Works
Opening Range Framework
The indicator establishes the Opening Range by tracking the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session (8:30-8:45 AM ET). This range represents the initial price discovery zone where early participants establish equilibrium. Breakouts above the high or below the low signal potential directional moves as liquidity enters the market during the full NY session.
Volume-Based Breakout Validation
To distinguish genuine breakouts from false moves, the indicator employs a rolling volume analysis system. It calculates a 12-period median of volume and applies a 1.2x threshold multiplier. Only price movements accompanied by volume exceeding this threshold are flagged as valid breakout signals. This approach filters out low-conviction breakouts that often occur in choppy, low-participation conditions and significantly reduces false signals at ORB levels.
Adaptive Volatility-Based Stop Loss Calculation
Unlike fixed-point stop losses, this indicator uses a dynamic calculation based on a 10-day lookback of historical ORB ranges. The stop loss is derived by analyzing recent Opening Range sizes and applying a 0.5x multiplier to the average. This creates three key advantages:
Compression adaptation: When recent ORBs shrink (low volatility), stops automatically tighten to reduce risk exposure
Expansion adaptation: When recent ORBs expand (high volatility), stops widen to prevent premature exits on legitimate moves
Hybrid intelligence: The system detects outlier volatility days by comparing current ORB size to the 10-day average. When divergence exceeds 50%, it recognizes abnormal conditions and adjusts stop placement accordingly rather than blindly using historical averages
Multi-Entry Risk Framework
The indicator recognizes that different traders enter at different points relative to the ORB level. It provides simultaneous risk calculations for three entry strategies:
Direct ORB Entry (0-point offset): Immediate breakout entries at the ORB high/low
Pullback Entry 1 (default 5.5 points): Conservative entries waiting for initial retracements
Pullback Entry 2 (default 11.0 points): Deeper retest entries for very conservative approaches
Each entry type displays independently calculated metrics (stop loss distance, contract sizing, take profit levels) that account for the actual entry point's distance from the ORB level. This ensures accurate position sizing and risk/reward ratios regardless of which entry method you use.
Smart Volatility Detection & Alerts
The indicator continuously compares the current day's ORB size against the 10-day historical average. When divergence exceeds a configurable threshold (default 50%), it alerts you to abnormal market conditions:
Compression warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ smaller than average (potential low-volatility trap)
Expansion warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ larger than average (potential news event or unusual volatility)
This allows you to adjust expectations and position sizing based on whether current conditions match your backtested historical environment.
Risk Management Safeguards
Min/Max Stop Loss Caps
To prevent extreme stop placements in unusual conditions:
Minimum stop: 35 points (prevents overly tight stops that get hit by noise)
Maximum stop: 75 points (caps risk exposure during extreme volatility events)
Both caps are fully adjustable and can be toggled on/off
Contract Rounding & Risk Display
The indicator automatically rounds to whole contracts and displays real-time risk metrics including:
Suggested stop loss level (adjusted for entry offset + volatility)
Number of contracts (sized to your account risk parameters)
Suggested take profit level (maintains your configured risk/reward ratio)
Dollar risk and potential profit for each entry type
What Makes This Original
This indicator combines several methodological elements that work together as a cohesive risk management system:
Volume confirmation prevents trading every ORB breakout indiscriminately
Adaptive volatility stops ensure your risk scales with current market conditions, not fixed assumptions
Multi-entry framework provides accurate calculations for various entry styles without requiring separate indicators
Outlier detection warns when today's conditions deviate significantly from your backtested norms
Integrated position sizing removes the mental math from determining contracts and risk/reward
Rather than simply plotting ORB levels or using fixed stops, this system adapts to changing volatility while validating breakouts with participation metrics.
How to Use It
Apply to a 5-minute chart of futures instruments (optimized for MNQ/NQ)
Set your account risk parameters in settings (account size, risk per trade %)
Monitor the ORB formation period (8:30-8:45 AM ET) - levels will be drawn
Watch for breakout signals during 8:45-9:30 AM ET with volume confirmation
Choose your entry style from the three displayed options based on your risk tolerance
Use the suggested stops and targets from the real-time risk table
Pay attention to volatility warnings - adjust position sizing if conditions are abnormal

Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout📌 Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout – Detect Breakouts Confirmed by Candles and Momentum Cycles
📖 Overview
The Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout indicator is a precision breakout detection tool that combines the power of:
• Adaptive Keltner Channels
• Dominant Cycle Period Analysis (Ehlers-inspired)
• Candlestick Pattern Recognition (Engulfing)
This multi-layered approach helps identify true breakout opportunities by filtering out noise and false signals, making it ideal for swing traders and intraday traders seeking high-probability directional moves.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Keltner Channel Envelope
A dynamic volatility channel based on the EMA and ATR defines the upper and lower bounds of price movement.
2. Engulfing Candle Detection
The script detects strong bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, which often signal trend reversals or momentum continuations.
3. Dominant Cycle Momentum (Ehlers-inspired)
Using a smoothed power oscillator derived from a detrended price series, the indicator assesses whether momentum is accelerating during the breakout — filtering out weak moves.
4. Signal Confirmation Logic
A signal is only shown when:
• An engulfing pattern is detected, and
• Price breaks out of the Keltner Channel, and
• Momentum (cycle power) is rising
5. Visual Feedback
• Breakout signals are plotted with “BUY” or “SELL” labels
• Faded green/red background highlights confirmed breakouts
• Optional display of engulfing candles with triangle markers
⸻
🛠️ Key Features
• ✅ Adaptive Keltner Channels
• ✅ Bullish/Bearish Engulfing Candle Recognition
• ✅ Ehlers-style Cycle Momentum Confirmation
• ✅ Background highlights for confirmed breakouts
• ✅ Optional candle pattern visualization
• ✅ Lightweight and Pine v6 compatible
⸻
🧪 Inputs
• Keltner Length – EMA period for channel basis
• Multiplier – Multiplied with ATR to determine band width
• Cycle Lookback – Used to calculate smoothed cycle power
• Show Engulfing Candles? – Toggles candlestick signals
• Show Breakout Signals? – Toggles breakout labels and backgrounds
⸻
🧠 How to Use
• Look for “BUY” or “SELL” labels when:
• An engulfing candle breaks through the Keltner Channel
• Cycle momentum confirms strength behind the move
• The background color will faintly highlight the breakout direction.
• Use in combination with other trend or volume indicators for added confluence.
🔒 Notes
• This indicator is not repainting.
• It is designed for educational and research purposes only.
• Works across all timeframes and asset classes (stocks, crypto, forex, etc.)
ORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — fixedORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — Listing copy (EN)
What it is
A clean, non-repainting intraday tool that fuses the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with a session-anchored VWAP filter for London and New York. It highlights only the higher-quality breakouts (above/below session VWAP), adds an optional retest confirmation, and scores each signal with an intuitive Confidence metric (0–100).
Why it works
• ORB provides the day’s first actionable structure (range high/low).
• Session VWAP filters “cheap” breaks and favors flows aligned with session value.
• Optional retest reduces first-tick whipsaws.
• Confidence blends breakout depth (vs ATR), VWAP slope and band distance.
Key visuals
• LDN/NY OR High/Low (line break style) + optional OR boxes.
• Active Session VWAP (resets per signal window; falls back to daily VWAP outside).
• Optional VWAP bands (stdev or %).
• Session shading (London/NY windows).
• Signal markers (LDN BUY/SELL, NY BUY/SELL) fired with cooldown.
Signals
• London Long / Short: Break of LDN OR High/Low ± ATR buffer, aligned with VWAP side.
• NY Long / Short: Same logic during NY window.
• Retest (optional): Requires a tag back to the OR level ± tolerance before confirmation.
• Confidence: 0–100; gate via Min Confidence (default 55).
Inputs that matter
• Open Range Length (min): Default 15.
• London/NY times & timezones.
• ATR buffer & retest tolerance.
• Bands mode: Stdev (with lookback) or % (e.g., 1%).
• Signal cooldown: Avoids clutter on fast moves.
Non-repaint policy
• OR lines build within fixed time windows using the current bar’s timestamp.
• VWAP is cumulative within the session window; no lookahead.
• All ta.crossover/ta.crossunder are precomputed every bar (no conditional execution).
• Signals are based on live bar values, not future bars.
⸻
Quick start (examples)
1) EURUSD, London momentum
• Chart: 5m or 15m.
• OR: 15 min starting 08:00 Europe/London.
• Signals: Use defaults; keep ATR buffer = 0.2 and Retest = ON, Min Confidence ≥ 55.
• Play:
• BUY when price breaks LDN OR High + buffer and stays above VWAP; retest confirms.
• Trail behind VWAP or band #1; partials into band #2.
2) NAS100, New York breakout & run
• Chart: 5m.
• NY window: 09:30 America/New_York, OR = 15 min.
• Retest OFF on high momentum days; Min Confidence ≥ 60.
• Use band mode Stdev, bandLen=50, show ±1/±2.
• Momentum continuation: add on pullbacks that hold above VWAP after the breakout.
3) XAUUSD, London fake & VWAP fade
• Chart: 5m.
• Keep Retest ON; accept only shorts that break OR Low but retest fails back under VWAP.
• Confidence gate ≥ 50 to allow more mean-reversion setups.
⸻
Pro tips
• Adjust ATR buffer to the instrument: FX 0.15–0.25, indices 0.20–0.35, metals 0.20–0.30.
• Retest ON for choppy conditions; OFF for news momentum.
• Use VWAP bands: take partials at ±1; stretch targets at ±2/±3.
• Session timezones are explicit (London/New York). Ensure they match your instrument’s behavior.
• Pair with a higher-TF bias (e.g., 1H/4H trend) for directional filtering.
⸻
Alerts (ready to use)
• ORB+SVWAP — LDN Long, LDN Short, NY Long, NY Short
(Respect your cooldown; alerts fire only after confirmation and confidence gate.)
⸻
Known limits & notes
• Designed for intraday. On 1D+ charts, session windows compress.
• If your broker session differs from London/NY clocks on a holiday, adjust input times.
• Session-anchored VWAP uses the script’s signal window, not exchange sessions, by design.
Stacey Burke Signal Day LTE“Previously published as ‘Day Zero Fakeout Detector MTF’”
Stacey Burke Signal Day LTE
Automatic detection of Day Zero, Inside Days, and Outside Days for Stacey Burke’s intraday playbook
🔎 Stacey Burke’s Signal Days
This indicator highlights the key daily patterns that often lead to high-probability intraday setups in Stacey Burke’s methodology:
1️⃣ Day Zero
The reset days within a 3-day cycle (e.g. breakout → continuation → exhaustion/reversal).
Can mark the beginning of a new directional phase.
Trades back inside the prior range after a Peak Formation High (PFH) or Peak Formation Low (PFL).
Bias: Look for measured parabolic session moves. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
2️⃣ Inside Day
A day where the entire range is contained within the prior day’s range.
Signals consolidation and energy build-up.
Often leads to explosive breakouts in the next session.
Bias: Trade breakouts of the inside day’s high/low or breakout reversal in the session at key timings in the direction of higher timeframe bias. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
3️⃣ Outside Day (Engulfing Day)
`
A day where the range is larger than the prior day’s range, engulfing both high and low.
Marks trapped traders and fakeouts on both sides.
Often precedes strong continuations or sharp reversals from outside of the ranges.
Bias: Align trades with the true continuation move. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
📌 How They Work Together
Day Zero → Signals the new cycle after PFH/PFL.
Inside Day → Signals compression → expect breakout setups.
Outside Day → Signals exhaustion/fakeouts → expect reversals or continuations.
Together, they give traders a clear daily roadmap for where liquidity sits and when to expect the highest-probability setups.
✅ Example in Practice
Market rallies for 3 days → PFH forms → Day Zero short bias.
Next day prints an Inside Day → watch for breakout continuation short, and breakout reversals.
Later, an Outside Day traps both longs and shorts → the following session offers a clean intraday reversal or continuation trade in line with the underlying MTF trend/bias.
⚙️ Features of This Indicator
Automatic detection of Day Zero, Inside Days, and Outside Days
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) support for cycle alignment
Visual markers for PFH/PFL and consolidation zones
Measured move projections for breakout targets
👉 Stacey Burke Signal Day LTE gives traders just a few of the most important signal days — Day Zero, Inside Day, and Outside Day — to structure their intraday trades around fake outs, breakouts, and reversals within the daily cycles of the week. (This is work in progress: Next up, FRD/FGD's, 3-day cycle detecting, 3DLs, 3DSs).

Advanced Range Analyzer ProAdvanced Range Analyzer Pro – Adaptive Range Detection & Breakout Forecasting
Overview
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify consolidations, evaluate their strength, and forecast potential breakout direction. By combining volatility-adjusted thresholds, volume distribution analysis, and historical breakout behavior, the indicator builds an adaptive framework for navigating sideways price action. Instead of treating ranges as noise, this system transforms them into opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trading.
How It Works
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify active range environments. Ranges are defined by volatility compression, repeated boundary interactions, and clustering of volume near equilibrium. Once detected, the indicator assigns a strength score (0–100), which quantifies how well-defined and compressed the consolidation is.
Breakout probabilities are then calculated by factoring in:
Relative time spent near the upper vs. lower range boundaries
Historical breakout tendencies for similar structures
Volume distribution inside the range
Momentum alignment using auxiliary filters (RSI/MACD)
This creates a live probability forecast that updates as price evolves. The tool also supports range memory, allowing traders to analyze the last completed range after a breakout has occurred. A dynamic strength meter is displayed directly above each consolidation range, providing real-time insight into range compression and breakout potential.
Signals and Breakouts
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro includes a structured set of visual tools to highlight actionable conditions:
Range Zones – Gradient-filled boxes highlight active consolidations.
Strength Meter – A live score displayed in the dashboard quantifies compression.
Breakout Labels – Probability percentages show bias toward bullish or bearish continuation.
Breakout Highlights – When a breakout occurs, the range is marked with directional confirmation.
Dashboard Table – Displays current status, strength, live/last range mode, and probabilities.
These elements update in real time, ensuring that traders always see the current state of consolidation and breakout risk.
Interpretation
Range Strength : High scores (70–100) indicate strong consolidations likely to resolve explosively, while low scores suggest weak or choppy ranges prone to false signals.
Breakout Probability : Directional bias greater than 60% suggests meaningful breakout pressure. Equal probabilities indicate balanced compression, favoring mean-reversion strategies.
Market Context : Ranges aligned with higher timeframe trends often resolve in the dominant direction, while counter-trend ranges may lead to reversals or liquidity sweeps.
Volatility Insight : Tight ranges with low ATR imply imminent expansion; wide ranges signal extended consolidation or distribution phases.
Strategy Integration
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro can be applied across multiple trading styles:
Breakout Trading : Enter on probability shifts above 60% with confirmation of volume or momentum.
Mean Reversion : Trade inside ranges with high strength scores by fading boundaries and targeting equilibrium.
Trend Continuation : Focus on ranges that form mid-trend, anticipating continuation after consolidation.
Liquidity Sweeps : Use failed breakouts at boundaries to capture reversals.
Multi-Timeframe : Apply on higher timeframes to frame market context, then execute on lower timeframes.
Advanced Techniques
Combine with volume profiles to identify areas of institutional positioning within ranges.
Track sequences of strong consolidations for trend development or exhaustion signals.
Use breakout probability shifts in conjunction with order flow or momentum indicators to refine entries.
Monitor expanding/contracting range widths to anticipate volatility cycles.
Custom parameters allow fine-tuning sensitivity for different assets (crypto, forex, equities) and trading styles (scalping, intraday, swing).
Inputs and Customization
Range Detection Sensitivity : Controls how strictly ranges are defined.
Strength Score Settings : Adjust weighting of compression, volume, and breakout memory.
Probability Forecasting : Enable/disable directional bias and thresholds.
Gradient & Fill Options : Customize range visualization colors and opacity.
Dashboard Display : Toggle live vs last range, info table size, and position.
Breakout Highlighting : Choose border/zone emphasis on breakout events.
Why Use Advanced Range Analyzer Pro
This indicator provides a data-driven approach to trading consolidation phases, one of the most common yet underutilized market states. By quantifying range strength, mapping probability forecasts, and visually presenting risk zones, it transforms uncertainty into clarity.
Whether you’re trading breakouts, fading ranges, or mapping higher timeframe context, Advanced Range Analyzer Pro delivers a structured, adaptive framework that integrates seamlessly into multiple strategies.
PCCE + False Breakout DetectorPCCE + False Breakout Detector
Type: Invite‑Only Indicator (closed source)
Purpose: Identify volatility compression (“coil”) and the first expansion after it, while filtering failed breakouts (bull/bear traps).
What it does — in plain language
This tool unifies two complementary behaviours that often appear back‑to‑back around strong moves:
1. Price Coil Compression & Expansion (PCCE) – finds compact ranges created by shrinking candle bodies, wick dominance, and contracting range relative to recent history. When price expands out of that coil with strength, it prints a Burst↑ / Burst↓ label.
2. False Breakout Detection – monitors recent swing extremes. If price closes beyond a prior high/low but re‑enters that range within a short window, it marks a trap (❌ red for failed bullish breakout, ❌ green for failed bearish breakout).
Why combine them?
PCCE tells you where the next move is likely brewing; the trap filter validates whether the breakout is genuine or failing. Used together they turn raw breakouts into structured, risk‑aware opportunities.
How it works — concepts behind the calculations
1) Detecting “Coil” (compression)
• Body contraction: Count of consecutive bars where |close-open| is decreasing within a sliding window.
• Wick dominance: Average (upper wick + lower wick) / body must exceed a threshold → indecision/liquidity probing.
• Relative range: Current high‑low over the window must be smaller than the average of prior windows (tight market).
• Coil zone: When the above conditions align, the most recent high/low envelope defines the coil’s bounds.
2) Confirming “Burst” (expansion)
A breakout through the coil high/low is only labelled when:
• Body thrust: current body > moving‑average body × multiplier (large real body).
• Relative volume: volume > moving‑average volume × multiplier (participation filter).
• Trend alignment (optional): close vs EMA to avoid counter‑trend bursts.
• Cooldown: minimum bars between signals to reduce clustering.
Result: Burst↑ if closing beyond coil high with thrust; Burst↓ if closing beyond coil low with thrust.
3) Flagging failed breakouts (traps)
• Track recent swing high/low from a lookback excluding the current bar.
• If a bar closes beyond that swing but within N bars price closes back inside the swing range → flag a trap:
• Bull trap: ❌ red above bar (break above failed)
• Bear trap: ❌ green below bar (break below failed)
⸻
What you see on the chart
• Coil zone: a shaded box (tight range envelope).
• Burst labels: Burst↑ (triangle up) and Burst↓ (triangle down) at confirmed expansion bars.
• Trap markers: ❌ red (failed bullish breakout), ❌ green (failed bearish breakout).
• Alerts: “Burst Up”, “Burst Down” (fires on bar close only).
⸻
How to use it
1. Preparation : When a coil box forms, mark the zone and wait.
2. Trigger : A Burst label confirms the first expansion with thrust/volume; treat it as an entry cue only within your own plan.
3. Validation : If a ❌ trap appears shortly after a break, treat it as caution/exit info; the breakout is failing.
4. Context : Best on 15m–4H. Combine with higher‑timeframe bias, nearby S/R, and risk controls.
5. Parameters to tune :
• Coil window, wick‑to‑body threshold, and range tightness
• Body/volume multipliers
• EMA trend filter on/off
• Trap lookback and confirmation bars
• Cooldown bars
⸻
Originality & usefulness
• Behaviour‑first compression scoring: Coil detection blends monotonic body shrink, wick dominance, and relative range contraction—not generic bands or a single oscillator.
• Two‑stage discipline: A burst is not just any break; it requires body thrust + relative volume (+ optional trend) to reduce noise.
• Immediate invalidation layer: The trap filter is evaluated right after the burst context, turning breakouts into risk‑aware signals rather than blind entries.
• Operator controls: Cooldown + multipliers let traders adapt the strictness to instrument/session behaviour.
⸻
Repainting & limitations
• Signals are evaluated on bar close; no lookahead, no request.security() with lookahead_on.
• Coil boxes while forming can update until confirmed; Burst/Trap labels do not repaint after their bar closes.
• News spikes and illiquid hours can still create noise; adjust multipliers and cooldown for your market.

Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds [SciQua]╭──────────────────────────────────────────────╮
☁️ Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────╯
🔍 Overview
The Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds (SMRC) indicator is a powerful visual tool for identifying price compression , trend strength , and slope momentum using multiple layers of linear regression Clouds. Designed to extend the classic squeeze framework, this indicator captures the behavior of price through dynamic slope detection, percentile-based spread analytics, and an optional UI for trend inspection — across up to four customizable regression Clouds .
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
⚙️ Core Features
╰────────────────╯
Up to 4 Regression Clouds – Each Cloud is created from a top and bottom linear regression line over a configurable lookback window.
Slope Detection Engine – Identifies whether each band is rising, falling, or flat based on slope-to-ATR thresholds.
Spread Compression Heatmap – Highlights compressed zones using yellow intensity, derived from historical spread analysis.
Composite Trend Scoring – Aggregates directional signals from each Cloud using your chosen weighting model.
Color-Coded Candles – Optional candle coloring reflects the real-time composite score.
UI Table – A toggleable info table shows slopes, compression levels, percentile ranks, and direction scores for each Cloud.
Gradient Cloud Styling – Apply gradient coloring from Cloud 1 to Cloud 4 for visual slope intensity.
Weight Aggregation Options – Use equal weighting, inverse-length weighting, or max pooling across Clouds to determine composite trend strength.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭──────────────────────────────────────────╮
🧪 How to Use the Indicator
1. Understand Trend Bias with Cloud Colors
╰──────────────────────────────────────────╯
Each Cloud changes color based on its current slope:
Green indicates a rising trend.
Red indicates a falling trend.
Gray indicates a flat slope — often seen during chop or transitions.
Cloud 1 typically reflects short-term structure, while Cloud 4 represents long-term directional bias. Watch for multi-Cloud alignment — when all Clouds are green or red, the trend is strong. Divergence among Clouds often signals a potential shift.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭───────────────────────────────────────────────╮
2. Use Compression Heat to Anticipate Breakouts
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────╯
The space between each Cloud’s top and bottom regression lines is measured, normalized, and analyzed over time. When this spread tightens relative to its history, the script highlights the band with a yellow compression glow .
This visual cue helps identify squeeze zones before volatility expands. If you see compression paired with a changing slope color (e.g., gray to green), this may indicate an impending breakout.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────╮
3. Leverage the Optional Table UI
╰─────────────────────────────────╯
The indicator includes a dynamic, floating table that displays real-time metrics per Cloud. These include:
Slope direction and value , with historical Min/Max reference.
Top and Bottom percentile ranks , showing how price sits within the Cloud range.
Current spread width , compared to its historical norms.
Composite score , which blends trend, slope, and compression for that Cloud.
You can customize the table’s position, theme, transparency, and whether to show a combined summary score in the header.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────╮
4. Analyze Candle Color for Composite Signals
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────╯
When enabled, the indicator colors candles based on a weighted composite score. This score factors in:
The signed slope of each Cloud (up, down, or flat)
The percentile pressure from the top and bottom bands
The degree of spread compression
Expect green candles in bullish trend phases, red candles during bearish regimes, and gray candles in mixed or low-conviction zones.
Candle coloring provides a visual shorthand for market conditions , useful for intraday scanning or historical backtesting.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────────────╮
🧰 Configuration Guidance
╰────────────────────────╯
To tailor the indicator to your strategy:
Use Cloud lengths like 21, 34, 55, and 89 for a balanced multi-timeframe view.
Adjust the slope threshold (default 0.05) to control how sensitive the trend coloring is.
Set the spread floor (e.g., 0.15) to tune when compression is detected and visualized.
Choose your weighting style : Inverse Length (favor faster bands), Equal, or Max Pooling (most aggressive).
Set composite weights to emphasize trend slope, percentile bias, or compression—depending on your market edge.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
✅ Best Practices
╰────────────────╯
Use aligned Cloud colors across all bands to confirm trend conviction.
Combine slope direction with compression glow for early breakout entry setups.
In choppy markets, watch for Clouds 1 and 2 turning flat while Clouds 3 and 4 remain directional — a sign of potential trend exhaustion or consolidation.
Keep the table enabled during backtesting to manually evaluate how each Cloud behaved during price turns and consolidations.
