MSTR vs BTCUSD % Movement ComparisonThe indicator, in its current form, is a custom Pine Script (version 6) tool named "MSTR vs BTCUSD % Movement Comparison" that visually compares the percentage price movements of MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Bitcoin (BTCUSD) over a user-defined lookback period. It plots the difference in their percentage changes (diff_pct = mstr_pct - btcusd_pct) as a line, with a zero line for reference, and uses green/red coloring to indicate whether MSTR is outperforming (green, above zero) or underperforming (red, below zero) BTCUSD. The area between the difference line and zero line is filled with semi-transparent green or red for clarity. Additionally, an adjustable-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the percentage difference smooths the trend, helping identify momentum shifts. The indicator is fixed to compare MSTR and BTCUSD, ensuring consistent output regardless of the chart’s active symbol (e.g., MSTR, MTPLF, or others).
Key Features:
Percentage Difference: Shows MSTR’s percentage change minus BTCUSD’s, highlighting relative performance.
Zero Line: A gray solid line at 0 for reference.
Color Coding: Green line/fill when MSTR outperforms, red when it underperforms.
Adjustable EMA: User-defined EMA period (default: 26) smooths the percentage difference.
Fixed Comparison: Always compares MSTR vs. BTCUSD, unaffected by the chart’s symbol.
User Inputs: Lookback period (default: 50 bars) and EMA period (default: 26) are customizable.
Example: On a 1-hour chart, if MSTR rises 4% and BTCUSD rises 1% over 50 bars, the difference line plots at +3 (green) with green fill, and the 26-period EMA might be at +2.2, indicating MSTR’s outperformance trend.

Weekly ManipulationUnderstanding the "Weekly Manipulation" Indicator
The "Weekly Manipulation" indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify false breakouts in the market—moments. Let me explain how it works in simple terms.
What This Indicator Detects
This indicator spots two specific market behaviors that often indicate manipulation:
1. Single-Day Manipulation (Red/Green Labels)
This occurs when price briefly breaks through a significant daily level but fails to maintain the momentum:
Bearish Manipulation (Red): Price pushes above the previous day's high, but then reverses and closes below that high.
Bullish Manipulation (Green): Price drops below the previous day's low), but then reverses and closes above that low.
2. Two-Day Manipulation (Black Labels)
This is a more complex version of the same pattern, but occurring over a 2-day period. These signals can indicate even stronger manipulation attempts and potentially more powerful reversals.
Why This Matters for Your Trading
By identifying these patterns, you can:
- Avoid getting caught in false breakouts
- Find potential entry points after the manipulation is complete
- Understand when market action might not be genuine price discovery
How to Use This Indicator
1. Look for Red Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break higher but failed. This often suggests bearish potential going forward.
2. Look for Green Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break lower but failed. This often suggests bullish potential going forward.
3. Pay Attention to Black Markers: These 2-day patterns can signal stronger reversals and might be worth giving extra weight in your analysis.
The indicator labels these patterns clearly as "Manipulation" right on your chart, giving you an immediate visual cue when these potential setups occur.
Opening Range Retest█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the opening range as a box. It also draws markers and triggers alerts when the opening range is retested. The opening range time is configurable, as is the period of time that must elapse before each return to the opening range is considered a retest.
█ FEATURES
Opening range time configurable in bars or minutes
Configurable "resting" period between the end of the opening range or since the last retest before a new retest is considered valid
Configurable tolerance so that a retest can trigger sooner
Active time range can be used to filter alerts and markers to a specific time window
Visual box showing the opening range, which can be optionally limited to the above-mentioned active time window
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used for an opening range retest trading strategy, where long or short positions are taken on the retest of the opening range.
The opening range can be user-configured, so it is suitable for use with any opening range time period (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, etc.).
The markers and alerts are equivalent, in the sense that whenever a marker appears, an alert will also trigger (assuming the user has set an alert up).
The alert active time range is simply used as a filter for markers and alerts, meaning that these will not draw or trigger outside of the specified time range.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is intended for equities that have a highly active regular market open. For other security types, it will draw the opening range box from whenever TradingView specifies the market open time.

Reintegration OPR zone 9h30📝 Indicator Description (for TradingView):
Name: Reintegration OPR Zone – 9:30 AM EST (UTC-4)
Purpose:
This indicator is designed for US indices like NAS100, US30, or SPX500. It helps identify potential false breakouts or retests by tracking when the price re-enters the Opening Price Range (OPR) after an initial breakout.
🔍 How it works:
At 9:30 AM New York time (UTC-4), the script captures the high and low of the first 15-minute candle (which is key for the US session open).
It then draws a horizontal box (rectangle) from the high to the low of that candle.
The box extends horizontally for 7 hours (28 candles on a 15-minute chart).
The script tracks if price:
Breaks above or below the OPR zone
Then re-enters the zone (a potential "fakeout" or "retest" signal)
No label or text is displayed on the chart (you requested it to be hidden).
🕒 Timeframe:
Designed for the 15-minute chart (M15)
Assumes New York session open at 9:30 AM EST (UTC-4)
3+ Consecutive Higher or Lower Closes (Full Highlight)This indicator identifies 3 or more sequential bars of higher/lower candle closes and highlights them on the chart.
Candle colour is adjustable.
This is the first edition and has a small issue where it only starts highlighting from the 3rd bar in the sequence.
I'll continue working on this to try to debug

Master Simple IndicatorThe streamlined Pine Script, created by masterbtcltc, is a technical analysis indicator that overlays on a price chart to provide buy and sell signals based on a dynamic 120-day simple moving average (SMA). Here's how it works:
Dynamic Moving Average: Calculates a 120-day SMA (ma_dynamic) using closing prices to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the closing price crosses above the 120-day SMA (longSignal), indicating potential bullish momentum. A white triangle with "close" text appears below the bar.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the closing price crosses below the 120-day SMA (shortSignal), suggesting bearish momentum. A yellow triangle with "Short" text appears above the bar.
Alerts: Generates alerts for buy (Long Signal Alert) and sell (Short Signal Alert) signals, notifying users when the price crosses the SMA.
Visual Highlights:
Price vs. SMA: The area between the closing price and the 120-day SMA is filled with yellow if the price is above the SMA (bullish) or blue if below (bearish).
50-day vs. 120-day SMA: The area between the 50-day SMA and 120-day SMA is filled green when the 50-day SMA is above the 120-day SMA, indicating a stronger bullish trend.
Created by masterbtcltc, this indicator helps traders identify trend changes and potential entry/exit points based on price interactions with the 120-day SMA, with clear visual cues and alerts for decision-making.
Master Litecoin Network Growth BandsThe "Master Litecoin Network Growth Bands" indicator (Pine Script v5) plots 26 horizontal bands on the Litecoin price chart (VANTAGE:LTCUSD) by dividing IntoTheBlock’s total Litecoin addresses by divisors (400 to 20,000,000). Each band (Band1 to Band26) is drawn with a white, thin line (linewidth=1), showing network growth relative to price to help identify support, resistance, or valuation levels. Note that this indicator does not include addresses on Litecoin’s MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Blocks).
Master Litecoin Hashrate IndicatorThis script is a custom indicator called "Master Litecoin Hashrate Indicator," designed to track and visualize Litecoin's hashrate trends in the form of both a moving average and raw hashrate data. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
Overview:
Indicator Type: It’s an overlay set to false, meaning it won’t be plotted directly on the price chart but on a separate pane beneath it.
Litecoin Hashrate: This tracks the computational power used to mine Litecoin, in PH/s (Peta Hashes per second).
Key Components:
Inputs:
ma_length: This is the length of the moving average, calculated as half of 7 (which equals 3.5), to smooth out the hashrate data.
Hashrate Data:
hashrate: The script pulls real-time Litecoin hashrate data using the INTOTHEBLOCK:LTC_HASHRATE security symbol from TradingView.
ma_hashrate: A simple moving average (SMA) is applied to the raw hashrate data over the defined period (ma_length), helping to smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Plotting:
hashrate: The raw hashrate is plotted in yellow with a linewidth of 2.
ma_hashrate: The moving average of the hashrate is plotted in white with a linewidth of 2.
Background Color:
The background color changes dynamically depending on the relationship between the raw hashrate and its moving average:
If the raw hashrate is greater than the moving average, the background turns a yellow color (with 90% transparency).
If the raw hashrate is less than the moving average, the background turns blue (with 90% transparency).
If they are equal, there is no background color change.
Purpose:
This indicator helps to visualize the current hashrate trends and compare them with the longer-term moving average. By doing so, it can highlight periods where the hashrate is either increasing or decreasing significantly, giving traders insights into network activity and mining strength.

Intraday vs Overnight Change TrackerThis indicator tracks a synthetic price path based on either intraday or overnight return behavior, allowing users to analyze which component of daily price movement is contributing more to long-term performance.
***THIS INDICATOR ONLY WORKS ON THE DAILY TIMEFRAME***
Intraday mode compounds price change from market open to close: close / open
Overnight mode compounds price change from previous close to current open: open / close
The user can select one of these two modes using a dropdown input. The synthetic price series starts from the second bar of the chart and compounds forward bar-by-bar using the selected return type. The result is a line that reflects cumulative return based solely on either intraday or overnight activity.
⚙️ Inputs
Synthetic Price Type: Select between "Intraday" or "Overnight" to visualize the respective compounded price series.
📈 Usage Notes
This indicator is intended for visual comparison of intraday vs. overnight price dynamics over time. It can be useful for identifying behavioral patterns, session-based return anomalies, or testing session bias strategies.
Only one synthetic line is shown at a time based on user selection.
If you want to view both intraday and overnight lines, then you can add the indicator twice, which is shown above.
D3m4h GIFVGDescription
D3m4h GIFVG is an indicator designed to automatically detect market imbalances—often referred to as FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)—and potential pivot-based shifts in market structure. It offers a dynamic approach to visualizing supply/demand inefficiencies and pivot-based trend changes. Key features include:
1. Pivot-Based Bullish/Bearish Detection
The indicator identifies higher-high/lower-low pivot logic as well as “outside bar” pivots.
It tracks when the market transitions from bullish to bearish ranges, or vice versa, by using multiple checks:
Pivot low/high detection
Break-of-structure (when price crosses the last pivot)
Opposing FVG detection to confirm an intraday pivot shift
2. FVG (Fair Value Gap) Detection
The script automatically scans for bullish or bearish FVG conditions:
Bullish FVG: Candle at position (bar_index - 2) has a high below the current candle’s low.
Bearish FVG: Candle at position (bar_index - 2) has a low above the current candle’s high.
When it detects an FVG, it draws a box on the chart to highlight the price gap (yellow boxes by default).
3. Pivot Range FVG
If an FVG forms while the market is in a bullish pivot range, the script can paint a special “blue” FVG to underscore its significance. The same logic applies if a newly formed FVG appears in a bearish pivot range.
4. Filled Gap Cleanup
You can optionally hide standard FVG boxes once they’re filled. For example, if the candle’s body (or candle range) covers that gap, the box is removed to keep your chart clean.
5. Pivot-Range FVG “Raided” Cleanup
If the pivot-based FVG is later filled from the opposing direction, it turns green and can optionally remove itself after a set number of bars.
6. Informative Table
A small table on the chart optionally displays whether or not the pivot-based FVG has been “raided”. You can toggle this table on/off in the settings.
How It Works
1. Pivot Shifts
The script tracks the last pivot high/low using a combination of candle-based pivot detection and break-of-structure checks (when price crosses the last pivot in the opposite direction).
When a shift is detected, the pivot range ID increments—this helps the script know when to remove old pivot-based FVGs or draw new ones.
2. FVG Formation
Each new bar checks if a bullish or bearish FVG formed (comparing the high of bar two bars ago to the current low, or the low of bar two bars ago to the current high).
If one is found, a box is drawn to highlight the imbalance. Its color and extension depend on script settings.
3. Imbalance or Pivot FVG
Standard imbalance boxes appear in yellow.
If the new imbalance coincides with a bullish or bearish pivot range, a special “pivot imbalance” box in blue is drawn.
3. Hide Filled
If a newly formed candle’s body fully covers the FVG, the box is considered filled. If Hide Filled Gaps is enabled, the box is deleted once it’s covered.
4. Raid Status
For the pivot-based (blue) FVG, once price invalidates it from the opposite side, it changes color to green and gets removed after a user-defined number of bars.
How to Use
1. Look for FVGs
Observe yellow boxes to identify potential intraday imbalances. Watch for price returning to fill these zones.
If you see a “blue” box, it signifies a pivot-based FVG in line with a recognized shift in structure—arguably a higher-probability zone.
2. “Hide Filled Gaps”
Turn this on if you only want to see currently active or partially filled imbalances. The script cleans up old, fully covered boxes to keep your chart neat.
3. Pivot Shifts
Note the script’s internal pivot logic. Each new pivot re-defines bullish or bearish states. Use these states to gauge the short-term trend shifts.
4. Toggle the Table
You can show or hide the chart table by enabling/disabling “Show Table” from the inputs. This table indicates if the pivot-based “GIFVG” has been “raided” or not.
5. Extend Count
Adjust the extendCount in the code if you want FVG boxes to extend further or shorter in time.
Underlying Concepts
Fair Value Gaps
Market inefficiencies that occur when price jumps, leaving a “gap” from the candle 2 bars ago to the current candle. They can act like mini supply/demand zones where price may revisit for balance.
Pivot Ranges
The script tries to maintain an internal sense of whether the market is in a bullish or bearish pivot range. When it sees a contrary FVG or break-of-structure, it flips the pivot state.
Outside Bars
A candle that has both a higher high and a lower low than the previous bar. The script uses these to mark significant pivot shifts.
By combining pivot-based logic with FVG detection, the D3m4h GIFVG indicator helps highlight potential areas of liquidity or unfilled value. Traders can use these zones to plan entries/exits or to confirm short-term trend shifts.
