Dynamic OHLC levels(Day/Week/Month/6M/Year)+Open MarkerThis indicator automatically displays the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) levels from the previous trading period directly on your chart. It's a versatile tool for identifying key support and resistance zones based on historical price action. The indicator offers a unique "Auto" mode that intelligently selects the most relevant time frame (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 6M, or Yearly) based on your current chart's time frame. Alternatively, you can choose a specific time frame in "Manual" mode.
The indicator is designed to provide traders with clear visual cues for important price levels, helping them make more informed trading decisions. It's a valuable resource for both intraday and swing traders, as these levels often act as significant psychological barriers and turning points in the market.

LANZ Strategy 7.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 7.0 — Multi-Session Breakout Logic with Midnight-Cross Support, Dynamic SL/TP, Multi-Account Lot Sizing & Real-Time Visual Tracking
LANZ Strategy 7.0 is a robust, visually-driven trading indicator designed to capture high-probability breakouts from a customizable market session.
It includes full support for sessions that cross midnight, dynamic calculation of Entry Price (EP), Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels, and a multi-account lot sizing panel for precise risk management.
The system is built to only trigger one trade per day and manages the full trade lifecycle with automated visual cleanup and detailed alerts.
📌 This is an indicator, not a strategy — it does not place trades automatically, but provides exact entry setups, SL/TP levels, risk-based lot size guidance, and real-time alerts for execution.
🧠 Core Logic & Features
🚀 Entry Signal (BUY/SELL)
The trading day begins with a Decision Session (yellow box) where the high/low range is recorded.
Once the Operative Session starts (blue zone), the first touch of the session’s high triggers a BUY setup, and the first touch of the session’s low triggers a SELL setup.
Only one valid trade can be triggered per day — the system locks after the first signal.
⚙️ Dynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit
SL levels are derived from the Decision Session high/low using customizable Fibonacci multipliers (independent for BUY and SELL).
TP is dynamically calculated from the EP–SL distance using a user-defined Risk:Reward ratio (R:R).
All EP, SL, and TP levels are drawn as independent lines with customizable colors, label text size, and style.
⏳ Session & Midnight-Cross Support
Works with any custom Decision/Operative session hours, including sessions that start one day and end the next.
Properly tracks time zones using New York session time for consistency.
Includes Cutoff Time: after this limit, no new entries are allowed, and all visuals are auto-cleared if no trade was triggered.
💰 Multi-Account Risk-Based Lot Sizing
Supports up to 5 independent accounts.
Each account can have:
Own capital
Own risk percentage per trade
Lot size is auto-calculated based on:
SL distance (in pips or points)
Pip value (auto-detected for Forex or manually set for indices/commodities)
Results are displayed in a clean lot size info panel.
🖼️ Real-Time Visual Tracking
Dynamic updates to all levels during the Decision Session.
EP, SL, TP lines update if the session high/low changes before the Operative Session starts.
Trade result labels:
SL hit → “–1.00%” in red
TP hit → “+X.XX%” in green
Manual close at Operative End → shows actual % result in blue or purple.
🔔 Alerts for Every Key Event
Session start notification
EP entry triggered
SL or TP hit
Manual close at session end
Missed entry due to cutoff
🧭 Execution Flow
Decision Session (Yellow) — Capture high/low range.
Operative Session (Blue) — First touch of high = BUY setup; first touch of low = SELL setup.
Plot EP, SL, TP lines + calculate lot sizes for all active accounts.
Track trade until SL, TP, or Operative End.
If no entry triggered by Cutoff Time → clean all visuals and notify.
💡 Ideal For:
Traders who operate breakout logic on specific sessions (NY, London, Asian, or custom).
Those managing multiple accounts with strict risk per trade.
Anyone trading assets with sessions crossing midnight.

Cumulative Volume Delta (SB-1) 2.0
📈 Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) — Stair-Step + Threshold Alerts
🔍 Overview
This Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) tool visualizes aggressive buying and selling pressure in the market by plotting candlestick-style bars based on volume delta. It helps traders understand which side — buyers or sellers — is exerting more control on lower timeframes and highlights momentum shifts through stair-step patterns and delta threshold breaks. Resets to zero at EOD
Ideal for futures traders, scalpers, and intraday strategists looking for orderflow-based confirmation.
🧠 What Is CVD?
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) measures the difference between market buys and sells over a specific timeframe. When the delta is rising, it suggests buyers are being more aggressive. Falling delta suggests seller dominance.
This script aggregates volume delta from a lower timeframe and plots it in a higher timeframe context, allowing you to track microstructure shifts within larger candles.
📊 Features
✅ CVD Candlesticks
Each bar represents volume delta as an OHLC-style candle using:
Open: Delta at the start of the bar
High/Low: Peak delta range
Close: Final delta value at bar close
Teal candles = Net buying pressure
Red candles = Net selling pressure
✅ Threshold Levels (Key Visual Zones)
The script includes horizontal dashed lines at:
+5,000 and +10,000 → Signify strong buying pressure
-5,000 and -10,000 → Signify strong selling pressure
0 line → Neutrality line (no net pressure)
These levels act as volume-based support/resistance zones and breakout confirmation tools. For example:
A CVD cross above +5,000 shows buyers taking control
A CVD cross above +10,000 implies strong bullish momentum
A CVD cross below -5,000 or -10,000 signals intense selling pressure
📈 Stair-Step Pattern Detection
Detects two specific volume-based continuation setups:
Bullish Stair-Step: Both the high and low of the CVD candle are higher than the previous candle
Bearish Stair-Step: Both the high and low of the CVD candle are lower than the previous candle
These patterns often appear during trending moves and serve as confirmation of strength or continuation.
Visual markers:
🟢 Green triangles below bars = Bullish stair-step
🔴 Red triangles above bars = Bearish stair-step
🔔 Alert Conditions
Get real-time alerts when:
Bullish Stair-Step is detected
Bearish Stair-Step is detected
CVD crosses above +5,000
CVD crosses below -5,000
📢 Alerts only trigger on crossover, not every time CVD remains above or below. This avoids repetitive notifications.
⚙️ Inputs & Customization
Anchor Timeframe: The higher timeframe to which CVD data is applied (default: 1D)
Lower Timeframe: The timeframe used to calculate the CVD delta (default: 5 minutes)
Optional Override: Use custom timeframe toggle to force your own micro timeframe
📌 How to Use This CVD Indicator (Step-by-Step Guide)
✅ 1. Confirm Bias Using the Zero Line
The zero line (0 CVD) represents neutral pressure — neither buyers nor sellers are dominating.
Use it as your first filter:
🔼 If CVD is above 0 and rising → Buyer control
🔽 If CVD is below 0 and falling → Seller control
🧠 Tip: CVD rising while price is consolidating may signal hidden buyer interest.
✅ 2. Watch for Crosses of Key Levels: +5,000 and +10,000
These levels act as momentum thresholds:
Level Signal Type What It Means
+5,000 Buyer breakout Buyers are starting to dominate
+10,000 Strong bull bias Strong institutional or algorithmic buying flow
-5,000 Seller breakout Sellers are taking control
-10,000 Strong bear bias Heavy selling pressure is entering the market
Wait for CVD to cross above +5K or below -5K to confirm the active side.
Use these crossovers as entry triggers, breakout confirmations, or trade filters.
🔔 Alerts fire only when the level is first crossed, not every bar above/below.
✅ 3. Use Stair-Step Patterns for Continuation Confirmation
The indicator shows stair-step patterns using triangle signals:
🟢 Green triangle below bar = Bullish stair-step
Suggests a higher high and higher low in delta → buyers stepping up
🔴 Red triangle above bar = Bearish stair-step
Suggests lower highs and lower lows in delta → selling pressure building
Use stair-step signals:
To confirm a continuation of trend
As an entry or add-on signal
Especially after a threshold breakout
🧠 Example: If CVD breaks above +5K and forms bullish stairs → confirms strong trend, ideal for momentum entries.
✅ 4. Combine with Price Action or Structure
CVD works best when used with price, not in isolation. For example:
📉 Price makes a new low but CVD doesn’t → potential bullish divergence
📈 CVD surges while price lags → buyers are absorbing, breakout likely
Use it with:
VWAP
Orderblocks
Liquidity sweeps
Break of market structure/MSS/BOS
✅ 5.
Set Anchor Timeframe = Daily
Set Lower Timeframe = 5 minutes (default)
This lets you:
See intraday flow inside daily bars
Confirm whether a daily candle is being built on net buying or selling
🧠 You’re essentially seeing intra-bar aggression within a bigger time structure.
🧭 Example Trading Setup
Bullish Scenario:
CVD is rising and above 0
CVD crosses above +5,000 → alert fires
Green stair-step appears
Price breaks local resistance or liquidity sweep completes
✅ Consider long entry with structure and CVD alignment
🎯 Place stops below last stair-step or structural low
📌 Final Notes
This tool does not repaint and is designed to work in real-time across all futures, crypto, and equity instruments that support volume data. If your symbol does not provide volume, the script will notify you.
Use it in confluence with VWAP, liquidity zones, or structure breaks for high-confidence trades.
Dual Session ORB S/R Lines Pro by Yendor_BShort description:
Clean opening-range breakout support/resistance lines for London and US sessions with confirmed breakout labels and alert-ready signals. UTC-based, adjustable start point, customizable styling, minimal clutter.
Detailed description:
What it does:
Captures the Opening Range (default first 15 minutes) for London and New York (US) sessions in UTC, plots the high and low as support/resistance lines, and marks confirmed breakouts when price closes beyond those levels. Lines can begin at either the range end or session start and persist for the configured session length.
Key Features:
ORB defined over the first N minutes after session open (configurable, default 15).
Two sessions: London and US (New York) with separate start times.
High/low support & resistance lines per session:
Selectable start point: Range End or Session Start.
Independently customizable color, width, and style (solid/dashed/dotted) for each high and low.
Confirmed breakout labels: only on the first candle that closes beyond the ORB high or low after the range completes (prior close must be inside).
Alerts and alertconditions for breakout long/short per session, usable in TradingView’s alert dialog.
Fully UTC-based. Works on any timeframe; 1-minute or 5-minute recommended for precision.
Minimal visual clutter; no persistent shaded boxes in this version.
Inputs explained:
ORB Duration (minutes): Length of the opening range used to calculate session high and low.
Session Length (hours): How long the S/R lines remain active (typically full session).
London / US Start (UTC): Session open times in UTC.
Line Start Point: Choose whether the lines begin at the range end or at the session start.
High/Low Styling: Independent color, thickness, and style for each session’s high and low.
Breakout Labels: Toggle one-time confirmed breakout annotations.
Alerts: Enable breakout alert messages.
Example workflows:
Monitor the first 15 minutes of the London session.
After the range, wait for a candle to close beyond the high or low for a confirmed breakout.
Use the label or alert to trigger entry logic (retest, continuation, etc.).
Repeat for the US session; compare overlaps for higher conviction.
Alert setup:
Open the Alerts panel. Choose one of the built-in alertconditions: London Breakout Long, London Breakout Short, US Breakout Long, US Breakout Short. Set frequency to Once Per Bar Close. Customize notification/webhook payload if automating.
Preset suggestions:
Standard London ORB: 15 minute range, lines from range end, green high / lime low.
Standard US ORB: 15 minute range, lines from range end, blue high / aqua low.
Overlap Bias: Both sessions active, lines start from session start, differentiated styles.
Tips & best practices:
Combine with external volume or volatility filters to reduce false breakouts. Use on correlated pairs to observe consistent session structure. Treat broken ORB levels as flipped support/resistance on revisit. Prefer confirmed closes beyond lines rather than wick touches.
Limitations / disclaimer:
Provides structural visualization and breakout signaling; does not guarantee profitability. Always apply proper risk management and confirm with additional context. Backtest settings before live use.

HSI1! First 30m Candle Strategy (15m Chart)## HSI1! First 30-Minute Candle Breakout Strategy (15m Chart) — Description
### Overview
This strategy is designed for trading **Hang Seng Index (HSI) Futures** on a 15-minute chart. It uses the price range established during the first 30 minutes of the Hong Kong main session (09:15–09:44:59) to define key breakout levels for a systematic trade entry each day.
### How the Strategy Works
#### 1. Reference Candle Period
- **Aggregation Window:** The strategy monitors the first two 15-minute bars of the session (09:15:00–09:44:59 HKT).
- **Range Capture:** It records the highest and lowest prices (the "reference high/low") during this window.
#### 2. Trade Setup
- After the 09:45 bar completes, the reference range is locked in.
- Throughout the rest of the trading day (within session hours), the strategy looks for breakouts beyond the reference range.
#### 3. Entry Rules
- **Long Entry (Buy):**
- Triggered if price rises to or above the reference high.
- Only entered if the user's settings permit "Buy Only" or "Both".
- **Short Entry (Sell):**
- Triggered if price falls to or below the reference low.
- Only entered if the user's settings permit "Sell Only" or "Both".
- **Single trade per day:**
- Once any trade executes, no additional trades are opened until the next session.
#### 4. Exit Rules
- **Take Profit (TP):**
- Target profit is set to a distance equal to the initial range added above the long entry (or subtracted below the short entry).
- Example: For a 100-point range, a long trade targets entry + 100 points.
- **Stop Loss (SL):**
- Longs are stopped out if price falls back to the session's reference low; shorts are stopped out if price rallies to the reference high.
#### 5. Session Control
- Active only within the regular day session (09:15–12:00 and 13:00–16:00 HKT).
- Trade tracking resets each new trading day.
#### 6. Trade Direction Manual Setting
- A user input allows restriction to "Buy Only", "Sell Only" or "Both" directions, providing discretion over daily bias.
### Example Workflow
| Step | Action |
|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 09:15–09:44 | Aggregate first two 15m candles; record daily high/low |
| After 09:45 | Wait for a breakout (price crossing either the high or the low) |
| Long trade triggered | Enter at the reference high, target is "high + range", SL is at the low |
| Short trade triggered | Enter at the reference low, target is "low - range", SL at the high |
| Trade management | No more trades for the day, regardless of further breakouts |
| End of session (if open) | Trades may be closed per further logic or left to strategy to handle |
### Key Features and Benefits
- **Discipline:** Only one trade per day, minimizing overtrading.
- **Clarity:** Transparent entry/exit rules; no discretionary execution.
- **Flexibility:** User can bias system to buy-only, sell-only, or allow both, depending on trend or personal view.
- **Simple Risk Control:** Pre-defined stop loss and profit target for every trade.
- **Works best in:** Trending, breakout-prone markets with a history of impulsive moves early in the session.
This strategy is ideal for systematic traders looking to capture the Hang Seng's early session momentum, with robust rule-based management and minimal intervention.
The Kyber Cell's – TTM Squeeze ProThe Kyber Cell’s TTM Squeeze Pro
TTM Squeeze + ALMA + VWAP for Precision Trade Timing
⸻
1. Introduction
Kyber Cell’s Squeeze Pro is a comprehensive, all-in-one overlay indicator built on top of John Carter’s famous TTM Squeeze concept. It integrates advanced momentum and trend analysis using Arnaud Legoux Moving Averages (ALMA), a scroll-aware VWAP with optional deviation bands, and a clean, user-friendly visual system. The goal is simple: give traders a clear and configurable chart that identifies price compression, detects release moments, confirms direction, and helps manage risk and reward visually and effectively.
This tool is intended for traders of all styles — scalpers, swing traders, or intraday strategists — looking for cleaner signals, better visual cues, and more confidence in entry/exit timing.
⸻
2. Core Concepts
At its heart, the Squeeze Pro builds an in-chart visualization of the TTM Squeeze, a strategy that identifies when price volatility compresses inside a Bollinger Band that is narrower than a Keltner Channel. These moments often precede explosive breakouts. This version categorizes squeezes into three levels of compression:
• Blue Dot – Low Compression
• Orange Dot – Medium Compression
• Red Dot – High Compression
When the squeeze “fires” (i.e., the Bollinger Bands expand beyond all Keltner thresholds), the indicator flips to a Green Dot, signaling potential entry if confirmed by trend direction.
The indicator also includes a momentum model using linear regression on smoothed price deviation to determine directional bias. Momentum is further reinforced by a customizable trend engine, allowing you to switch between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 logic.
An ALMA ribbon is plotted across the chart to represent smoothed trend strength with minimal lag, and a scroll-aware VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) line, optionally with ±σ bands, helps confirm mean-reversion or momentum continuation setups.
⸻
3. Visual Components
Squeeze Pro replaces the traditional histogram with bar coloring logic based on your selected overlay mode:
• Momentum Mode colors bars based on whether momentum is rising or falling and in which direction (aqua/blue for bullish, red/yellow for bearish).
• Trend Mode colors bars using EMA or HMA logic to identify whether price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral trend state.
A colored backdrop is triggered when a squeeze fires and momentum direction is confirmed. It remains green for bullish runs and red for bearish runs. The background disappears when the trend exhausts or reverses.
Each squeeze level (low, medium, high) is plotted as tiny dots above or below candles, with configurable colors. On the exact bar where the squeeze fires, the indicator optionally plots entry markers — either arrows or triangles — which can be placed with adjustable padding using ATR. These provide an at-a-glance signal of possible long or short entries.
EXPERIMENTAL : For risk and reward management, protective stop lines and limit targets can be toggled on. Stops are calculated using either recent swing highs/lows or a fixed ATR multiple, depending on user preference. Limit targets are calculated from entry price using ATR-based projections.
All colors are customizable.
⸻
4. Multi-Timeframe Squeeze Panel
An optional MTF Squeeze Panel appears in the top-right corner of the chart, displaying the squeeze status across multiple timeframes — from 1-minute to Monthly. Each timeframe is color-coded:
• Red for High Compression
• Orange for Medium Compression
• Blue for Low Compression
• Yellow for Open/No Compression
This provides rapid context for whether multiple timeframes are simultaneously compressing (a common precursor to explosive moves), helping traders align higher- and lower-timeframe signals. Colors are customizable.
The MTF panel dynamically adjusts to chart space and only renders the selected intervals for clarity and performance.
⸻
5. Inputs and Configuration Options
Squeeze Pro offers a rich configuration suite:
• Squeeze Settings: Control the Bollinger Band standard deviation, and three separate Keltner Channel multipliers (for low, medium, and high compression zones).
• ALMA Controls: Adjust the smoothing length, offset, and σ factor to control ribbon sensitivity.
• VWAP Options: Toggle VWAP on/off and optionally show ±σ bands for mean reversion signals.
• Entry Markers: Customize marker shape (arrow or triangle), size (tiny to huge), color, and padding using ATR multipliers.
• Stops and Targets:
• Choose between Swing High/Low or ATR-based stop logic.
• Define separate ATR lengths and multipliers for stops and targets.
• Independently toggle their visibility and color.
• Bar Coloring Mode: Select either Momentum or Trend logic for bar overlays.
• Trend Engine: Choose between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 for identifying trend direction.
• Squeeze Dot Colors: Customize the colors for each compression level and release state.
• MTF Panel: Toggle visibility per timeframe — from 1m to Monthly.
This high degree of customization ensures that the indicator can adapt to nearly any trading style or preference.
⸻
6. Trade Workflow Suggestions
To get the most out of this tool, traders can follow a consistent workflow:
1. Watch Dot Progression: Blue → Orange → Red indicates increasing compression and likelihood of breakout.
2. Enter on Green Dot: When the squeeze fires (green dot), confirm entry direction with bar color and backdrop.
3. Use Confirmation Tools:
• ALMA should slope in the trade direction.
• VWAP should support the price move or confirm expansion away from mean.
4. Manage Risk and Reward (experimental):
• Respect stop-loss placements (Swing/ATR).
• Use ATR-based limit targets if enabled.
5. Exit:
• Consider exiting when momentum crosses zero.
• Or exit when the background color disappears, signaling potential trend exhaustion.
⸻
7. Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions to notify you when a squeeze fires in either direction:
• “Squeeze Long”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bullish.
• “Squeeze Short”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bearish.
You can use these alerts for automation or to stay notified of new setups even when away from the screen.
⸻
8. Disclaimer
This indicator is designed for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Trading is inherently risky, and any decisions based on this tool should be made with full awareness of personal risk tolerance and capital exposure.
Williams FractalsBoaBias Fractals High & Lows is an indicator based on Bill Williams' fractals that helps identify key support and resistance levels on the chart. It displays horizontal lines at fractal highs (red) and lows (green), which extend to the current bar. Lines automatically disappear if the price breaks through them, leaving only the relevant levels. Additionally, the indicator shows the price values of active fractals on the price scale for convenient monitoring.
Key Features:
Customizable Fractals: Choose between 3-bar or 5-bar fractals (default: 3-bar).
Period: Adjust the number of periods for calculation
Visualization: Red lines for highs (resistance), green for lows (support). Lines are fixed on the chart and persist during scrolling or scaling changes.
Alert System: Notifications for the formation of a new fractal high/low and for level breaks (Fractal High Formed, Fractal Low Formed, Fractal High Broken, Fractal Low Broken).
How to Use:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Configure parameters: select the fractal type (3 or 5 bars) and period.
Set up alerts in TradingView to receive notifications about new fractals or breaks.
Use the lines as levels for entry/exit positions, stop-losses, or take-profits in fractal-based strategies.
Troubleshooting: If Levels Are Not Fixed on the Chart
If the levels (fractal lines) do not stay fixed on the chart and fail to move with it during scrolling or scaling (e.g., they remain stationary while the chart shifts), this is typically due to the indicator's scale settings in TradingView. The indicator may be set to "No scale," causing the lines to desynchronize from the chart's price scale.
What to Do:
Locate the Indicator Label: On the chart, find the indicator label in the top-left corner of the pane (or where "BoaBias Fractals High & Lows" is displayed).
Right-Click the Label: Click the right mouse button on this label.
Adjust the Scale:
In the context menu, look for the "Scale" or "Pin to scale" option.
If it shows "Pin to scale (now no scale)" or similar, select "Pin to right scale" (or "Pin to left scale," depending on your chart's main price scale—usually the right).
Refresh the Chart: After changing the setting, refresh the chart (press F5 or reload the page), or toggle the indicator off and on again to apply the changes.
After this, the lines should move and scale with the chart during scrolling (horizontal or vertical) or zooming. If the issue persists, check:
TradingView Limits: The indicator may draw too many lines (maximum ~500 per script). If there are many historical fractals, older lines might not display.
Chart Settings: Ensure the chart is not in logarithmic scale (if applicable) or that auto-scaling is enabled.
Indicator Version: Verify you are using the latest script version (Pine Script v6) and check for errors in the TradingView console.
This indicator is ideal for traders working with Bill Williams' chaos theory or those seeking dynamic support/resistance levels. It is based on standard fractals but with enhancements for convenience: automatic removal of broken levels and integration with the price scale.
Note: The indicator does not provide trading signals on its own — use it in combination with other tools. Test on historical data before real trading.

- **Time Window**: Only looks for FVGs between 9:31-10:00 AM ET (most important opening period)
- **One Per Day**: Finds only the first FVG that forms in this time window each day
- **Visual Display**: Draws a purple box around the gap with a clear "FVG" label
- **Price Tracking**: Monitors when price comes back to test the gap level
- **Alert System**: Sends notifications when price returns to the FVG zone
How FVGs Are Detected:
- **Bullish FVG**: When there's a gap up (low of middle candle is above high of 3rd candle back)
- **Bearish FVG**: When there's a gap down (high of middle candle is below low of 3rd candle back)
The 9:31-10:00 AM window is chosen because this is when institutions and algorithms create their biggest price moves right after market open, making these gaps very reliable.

How to Use:
Setup
Chart Settings
1. Use 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts (works best on these timeframes)
2. Apply to liquid markets like ES, NQ, major stocks, or forex pairs
3. Set the "Extend FVG Box" to your preference (start with 0 or 10)
What You'll See
- A purple box appears when an FVG forms during 9:31-10:00 AM
- Box shows the exact price levels of the gap
- "FVG" label appears on the box
- Only one FVG per day will be marked
Trading Strategies
Basic FVG Trading
1. **Wait for Formation**: Let the purple box appear during 9:31-10:00 AM
2. **Watch Price Movement**: See if price moves away from the gap
3. **Enter on Retest**: When price comes back to the purple box area, consider entering
4. **Trade Direction**:
- Bullish FVG = look for long opportunities when price retests
- Bearish FVG = look for short opportunities when price retests
Entry Methods
- **Bounce Play**: Enter when price touches the FVG box and bounces away
- **Break Play**: Enter if price strongly breaks through the FVG box
- **Rejection Play**: Enter opposite direction if price gets rejected at the FVG
Risk Management
Stop Losses
- Place stops just outside the FVG box (a few ticks beyond the gap)
- If trading a bounce, stop goes on opposite side of the gap
- If trading a break, stop goes back inside the gap
Position Sizing
- Start small until you understand how FVGs work in your market
- Bigger gaps = smaller position size (more risk)
- Smaller gaps = can use larger position size
Profit Targets
- Take profits at obvious levels like round numbers, previous highs/lows
- Consider taking half profits at 1:1 risk/reward ratio
- Let some position run if the move is strong
Best Practices
When It Works Best
- High-volume stocks and futures (ES, NQ work great)
- Normal market days without major news during the 9:31-10:00 window
- When there's clear institutional activity in the opening period
When to Be Careful
- Low-volume stocks or markets
- Major economic news releases during the time window
- Market holidays when volume is low
- Very choppy or sideways days
Alert Usage
- The script will alert you when price comes back to test the FVG
- Don't trade the alert blindly - always check the current market situation
- Use the alert as a heads-up to start watching the setup more closely
Tips for Success
- The earlier the FVG forms in the 9:31-10:00 window, often the more significant it is
- FVGs that form with high volume are usually more reliable
- Always consider the overall market direction - don't fight the main trend
- Practice on paper first to understand how FVGs behave in your chosen market

Apex Edge - VantageApex Edge – Vantage
Quarter-Wick Reversal System | Price Action Based | Non-Repainting | Visual Confirmation Tool
Overview:
Apex Edge – Vantage is a precision price action indicator built to assist traders in identifying high-probability reversal entries — not based on indicators, but on how candles behave at their extremes.
This tool implements a clean, repeatable framework that reflects how I personally trade:
Spot a candle that closes with strong directional intent,
Then wait for a controlled pullback into the outer quarter,
And strike — only if price respects that line.
There’s no magic here — just raw, tactical logic visualized clearly on your chart. It's not designed to predict the market — it's built to respond when price offers you Vantage.
Core Logic:
Dot Detection – Final Quarter Close Candles
A green dot prints below a bullish candle if it closes within the top 25% of its wick-to-wick range.
A red dot prints above a bearish candle if it closes within the bottom 25% of its range.
These dots signify candles that made a strong, deliberate move in one direction — where price was pushed to an extreme and held that extreme into the close. These candles often signal institutional intent or momentum imbalance.
Entry Confirmation – Controlled Wick Rebalance
On the very next candle only, price must wick into the prior dot candle's outer quarter — but must not pass beyond it.
For buy entries, the wick must enter the bottom 25% of the previous green dot candle, but not dip below it.
For sell entries, the wick must reach into the top 25% of the red dot candle, but not exceed it.
This wick into the quarter is seen as a controlled rebalancing — a tactical reaction back into the origin zone before potential continuation.
Arrow Printing – Visual Entry Signal
Once the entry criteria are confirmed, an arrow is printed after the candle closes.
This arrow continues to print on each new candle as long as price does not violate the original entry zone — giving visual confirmation that the trade thesis is still valid.
If price breaks above/below the quarter range, the arrow disappears.
This ongoing confirmation is useful for staying in trades, managing risk, or spotting failed setups early.
Automatic Stop Loss Level
A horizontal Stop Loss line is drawn from the extreme wick of the original dot candle.
For buy entries, SL is placed below the green dot candle's low.
For sell entries, SL is placed above the red dot candle's high.
This provides immediate risk context — perfect for traders using limit orders or looking to scale in.
Coding Logic:
This script uses plotshape() and plot() functions for all visual elements.
Dot candles are identified using quarter-range logic via:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
close >= high - (high - low) * 0.25 // for bullish
close <= low + (high - low) * 0.25 // for bearish
Entry validation logic triggers only on the next candle, using:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
low >= quarterLine and low <= high // for buy entries
high <= quarterLine and high >= low // for sell entries
Arrows and SL lines are plotted only on closed candles, ensuring non-repainting behavior.
alertcondition() is used for real-time alerts on valid buy/sell triggers.
How I Personally Use It:
I wait for a dot to print — this shows directional conviction.
On the next candle, I watch for a tap into the outer quarter.
If the wick meets the criteria and the candle closes, I’ll execute manually at the close of that candle.
As long as the arrow remains on the chart, I know the setup hasn’t been invalidated.
I combine this with market structure, session timing, and liquidity context to build confluence around each trade.
Alerts Included:
Buy Entry Alert: When a green arrow prints (entry confirmed)
Sell Entry Alert: When a red arrow prints (entry confirmed)
These fire once per confirmed signal, allowing you to react in real-time or automate if desired.
Who This Is For:
Manual traders who want clean price-based entries
Anyone who uses market structure, SMC, or liquidity concepts
Traders looking to replace indicators with pure candle logic
Discretionary or semi-systematic traders who want visual tools to guide their decisions
Final Word
Apex Edge – Vantage doesn’t predict price — it shows you where price is offering you control.
This is a surgical tool designed to help you act only when the market gives you a measurable edge — and to stay in the trade as long as that edge holds.
If you're ready to stop chasing trades and start striking from a position of Vantage, then this tool belongs on your chart.
Rally/Drop Market Structure (Multi-Timeframe)Rally/Drop Market Structure
Supply and Demand Zones from Bullish/Bearish Breaks
Overview:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator is a powerful price action tool that identifies key structural turning points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish breaks . After each confirmed break, it plots either a demand zone (following a bullish break or rally) or a supply zone (following a bearish break or drop). These zones represent institutional footprints — areas where price is likely to react due to imbalance or unfilled orders.
The indicator is based on synthetic higher timeframe (HTF) candles to provide a more stable and smoothed structural map, improving clarity and signal quality over raw candles.
How It Works:
- A bullish break is defined when price makes a higher high and a higher low (or closes above the previous high depending on your selected mode).
- A bearish break is defined when price makes a lower high and a lower low (or closes below the previous low).
- After a bullish break, the indicator plots a demand zone based on the low and high of the most recent bearish candle — representing where demand stepped in.
- After a bearish break, the indicator plots a supply zone from the most recent bullish candle — indicating where supply took control.
- Optional mitigation logic marks zones as mitigated (or deletes them) once price trades into the opposing side.
- Internal shift detection highlights swing highs and lows , labels structural points (HH, HL, LH, LL), and identifies potential liquidity sweeps .
Features:
- Dynamic plotting of rally-based demand zones and drop-based supply zones
- Toggle to use Highs/Lows or Close-based breaks for structure
- Support for LTF, MTF, and HTF analysis (with selectable timeframe)
- Zone mitigation logic with optional automatic cleanup
- Labeling of key swing points: HH , HL , LH , LL , and LS (Liquidity Sweep)
- Zigzag visualization for structure flow
- Alert-ready for internal shifts, BoS, and zone creation
- Separate styling options for BoS lines, internal shift shapes, and zone colors
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF candle source (e.g., 1H or 4H) depending on your trading style.
- Use Highs/Lows mode for pure price action structure or Close mode for more conservative signals.
- Observe when a bullish break occurs — a demand zone will form where price previously dropped before rallying. Look for long opportunities if price revisits this zone.
- After a bearish break , a supply zone forms where the rally failed — use this to scout short entries on retests.
- Use BoS lines to confirm structure shifts and validate entry triggers or trend direction.
- Monitor mitigated zones for reduced reliability or avoid them completely by enabling automatic deletion.
- Use alerts to stay notified about key changes without watching the chart constantly.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart money or ICT-style trading : identify institutional footprints and mitigation setups
- Reversal trading : catch price rejecting off unmitigated zones after structure break
- Trend continuation : enter in the direction of internal structure after pullbacks into zones
- Liquidity sweep confirmation : filter out false breaks using HH/LL with LS detection
Tips:
- Combine this indicator with a higher timeframe bias tool (e.g., moving average, higher timeframe market structure).
- For scalping, use tighter HTFs and reduce the zone duration.
- For swing trading, use larger HTFs (1H, 4H, Daily) and increase zone persistence.
Summary:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator gives you an actionable framework for understanding price structure, market intent, and supply/demand imbalances. Whether you're looking for precision entries, trend confirmation, or smart money concepts, this tool helps simplify complex price behavior into clean, usable structure and zones.
Range Breakout [sgbpulse]Range Breakout
1. Overview
The "Range Breakout " indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify and visually display price ranges on your chart using pivot points. It dynamically draws two distinct boxes – an External Range and an Internal Range – helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance zones. Beyond its visual representation, the indicator offers a comprehensive set of 12 unique breakout alerts, providing real-time notifications for significant price movements outside these defined ranges. Additionally, it integrates RSI and MFI metrics for momentum confirmation.
2. How It Works
The indicator operates by identifying pivot points based on user-defined "left" and "right" bar lengths. A high pivot is a bar with a specified number of lower highs both to its left and right, and similarly for a low pivot.
External Range: Calculated using longer pivot lengths (default: 15 bars left, 6 bars right). This range represents broader, more significant price consolidation areas.
Internal Range: Calculated using shorter pivot lengths (default: 4 bars left, 3 bars right). This range captures tighter, more immediate price consolidations within the broader trend.
The External Range will always be greater than or equal to the Internal Range, as it's based on a wider historical context. Both ranges are displayed as transparent boxes on your chart, dynamically adjusting as new pivots are formed.
3. Key Features and Settings
Customizable Pivot Lengths:
External Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for identifying the broader price range. Longer lengths lead to more stable, but less frequent, range updates.
Internal Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for the tighter, more immediate price range.
Tool Tips: Minimum 6 bars for the External Range, and minimum 2 bars for the Internal Range.
Customizable Range Colors: Easily change the background colors of the External and Internal Range boxes to match your chart's aesthetic.
Dynamic Range Display: The indicator automatically updates the range boxes as new pivot highs and lows are formed, always presenting the most current valid ranges.
RSI / MFI Settings:
Timeframe Source: Select the timeframe for RSI and MFI calculation.
- Chart: Calculation based on the current chart timeframe.
- Daily: Always calculated based on the daily ("D") timeframe, even if the chart is on a lower timeframe.
RSI Length: Period length for RSI calculation (default: 14).
RSI Overbought Level: Overbought level for RSI (default: 70.0).
RSI Oversold Level: Oversold level for RSI (default: 30.0).
MFI Length: Period length for MFI calculation (default: 14).
MFI Overbought Level: Overbought level for MFI (default: 80.0).
MFI Oversold Level: Oversold level for MFI (default: 20.0).
4. Synergy of Ranges & Breakout Strength
The interaction between the External and Internal Ranges provides deep insights into price movement and breakout strength:
Immediate Direction: The movement of the Internal Range (up or down) indicates the short-term directional bias within the broader framework of the External Range.
Strength Confirmation: A breakout of the External Range, followed by a breakout of the Internal Range, confirms the strength of the move and increases confidence in the breakout.
Strong Momentum ("Leaving" Ranges Behind): When price breaks out with exceptionally strong momentum, it continues to move aggressively and does not immediately form new pivots. In such situations, the existing ranges (External and Internal) remain in place while the candles "leave them behind." A "Full Candle" breakout, where the entire candle moves past both ranges, indicates a particularly powerful and decisive move.
Momentum (RSI / MFI) as Confirmation:
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the speed and change of price movements. Extreme values (above 70 or below 30) indicate overbought/oversold conditions respectively, confirming strong momentum in a breakout.
- MFI (Money Flow Index): Similar to RSI but incorporates volume. Extreme values (above 80 or below 20) indicate strong money flow in/out, reinforcing breakout confirmation.
- Importance of Confirmation: If a breakout occurs but momentum indicators do not confirm it (for example, an upside breakout while RSI is declining), this could signal weakness in the move and the risk of a false breakout (Fakeout).
5. Visuals
The indicator provides clear visual representations on the chart:
Range Boxes:
Two dynamic boxes are drawn on the chart: one for the External Range and one for the Internal Range.
These boxes update continuously, displaying the current range boundaries based on the latest pivots. They provide an immediate visual indication of support and resistance levels.
RSI/MFI Status Labels:
Small text labels appear to the right of the current bar, vertically centered.
They display the status of RSI and MFI: RSI OB (Overbought), RSI OS (Oversold), MFI OB, MFI OS, along with the exact value.
Important: The labels remain on the chart as long as the condition holds (indicator is above/below the level), unlike alerts which mark a singular crossover event.
Plotting of Key Values:
The indicator plots six invisible series on the chart, primarily to allow the user to view the exact numerical values of:
- The upper and lower bounds of the External Range (External High, External Low).
- The upper and lower bounds of the Internal Range (Internal High, Internal Low).
- The calculated RSI and MFI values (RSI, MFI).
These values are accessible for viewing through TradingView's Data Window and also via the Status Line when hovering over the relevant candle. This enables more precise quantitative analysis of range levels and momentum.
6. Comprehensive Breakout Alerts
The "Range Breakout " indicator provides 12 distinct alert conditions for breakouts, allowing you to select the required level of confirmation for each alert. All alerts are triggered only upon a fully confirmed bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) to minimize false signals and ensure reliability.
All breakout alerts are configured to detect a Crossover/Crossunder of the levels, meaning a specific event where the price moves from one side of the range to the other.
External Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (min of open/close prices) closes above the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the lowest point of the candle) closes above the External Range.
External Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (max of open/close prices) closes below the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the highest point of the candle) closes below the External Range.
Internal Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes above the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes above the Internal Range.
Internal Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes below the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes below the Internal Range.
7. Ideal Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to clearly identify and monitor price consolidation zones.
Seek confirmation for breakout strategies across various timeframes.
Require reliable and automated alerts for potential entry or exit points based on range expansion.
8. Complementary Indicator
For even more comprehensive market analysis, we highly recommend using this indicator in conjunction with Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS .
This powerful complementary indicator automatically and accurately identifies significant support and resistance levels by locating high and low pivot points, as well as key Pre-Market High/Low levels. Its strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and asset, providing precise and relevant real-time levels while maintaining a clean chart. It also identifies Break of Structure (BoS) to signal potential trend changes or continuations.
Using both indicators together provides a robust framework for identifying defined ranges and potential trend shifts, enabling more informed trading decisions.

cd_secret_candlestick_patterns_CxHi traders,
With this indicator, we aim to uncover secret candlestick formations that even advanced traders may miss—especially those that can't be detected by classic pattern indicators, unless you're a true master of candlestick patterns or candle math.
________________________________________
General Idea:
We'll try to identify candlestick patterns by regrouping candles into custom-sized segments that you define.
You might ask: “Why do I need this? I can just look at different timeframes and spot the structure anyway.” But it’s not the same.
For example, if you're using a 1-minute chart and add a higher-timeframe candle overlay (like 5-minute), the candles you see start at fixed timestamps like 0, 5, 10, etc.
However, in this indicator, we redraw new candles by grouping them from the current candle backward in batches of five.
These candles won't match the standard view—only when aligned with exact time multiples (e.g., 0 and 5 minutes) will they look the same.
In classic charts:
• You see 5-minute candles that begin every 0 and 5 minutes.
In this tool:
• You see a continuously updating set of 5 merged 1-minute candles redrawn every minute.
What about the structures forming in between those fixed timeframes?
That’s exactly what we’ll be able to detect—while also making the lower timeframe chart more readable.
________________________________________
Candle Merging:
Let’s continue with an example.
Assume we choose to merge 5 candles. Then the new candle will be formed using:
open = open
close = close
high = math.max(high , high , high , high , high)
low = math.min(low , low , low , low , low)
This logic continues backward on the chart, creating merged candles in groups of 5.
Since the selected patterns are made up of 3, 4, or 5 candles, we redraw 5 such merged candles to analyze.
________________________________________
Which Patterns Are Included?
A total of 18 bullish and bearish patterns are included.
You’ll find both widely known formations and a few personal ones I use, marked as (MeReT).
You can find the pattern list and visual reference here:
________________________________________
Entry and Filtering Suggestions:
Let me say this clearly:
Entering a trade every time a pattern forms will not make you profitable in the long run.
You need a clear trade plan and should only act when you can answer questions like:
• Where did the pattern appear?
• When and under what conditions?
It’s more effective to trade in the direction of the trend and look for setups around support/resistance, supply/demand zones, key levels, or areas confirmed by other indicators.
Whether you enter immediately after the pattern or wait for a retest is a personal choice—but risk management is non-negotiable.
One of the optional filters I’ve included is a Higher Timeframe (HTF) condition, which is my personal preference:
When enabled, the highest or lowest price among the pattern candles must match the high or low of the current HTF candle.
You can see in the image below the decrease in the number of detected patterns on the 1-minute chart when using no filter (blue labels) compared to when the 1-hour timeframe filter is applied (red labels).
Additionally, I’ve added a “protected” condition for engulfing patterns to help filter out weak classic engulf patterns.
________________________________________
Settings:
From the menu, you can configure:
• Number of candles for regrouping
• Distance between the last candle and newly drawn candles
• Show/hide options
• HTF filter toggle and timeframe selection
• Color, label placement, and text customization
• Pattern list (select which to display or trigger alerts for)
My preferred setup:
While trading on the 1-minute chart, I typically set the higher timeframe to 15m or 1H, and switch the candle count between 2 and 3 depending on the situation.
⚠️ Important note:
The “Show” and “Alert” options are controlled by a single command.
Alerts are automatically created for any pattern you choose to display.
________________________________________
What’s Next?
In future updates, I plan to add:
• Pattern success rate statistics
• Multi-broker confirmation for pattern validation
Lastly, keep in mind:
The more candles a pattern is based on, the more reliable it may be.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Cheerful trading! 🕊️📈
Share SizePurpose: The "Share Size" indicator is a powerful risk management tool designed to help traders quickly determine appropriate share/contract sizes based on their predefined risk per trade and the current market's volatility (measured by ATR). It calculates potential dollar differences from recent highs/lows and translates them into a recommended share/contract size, accounting for a user-defined ATR-based offset. This helps you maintain consistent risk exposure across different instruments and market conditions.
How It Works: At its core, the indicator aims to answer the question: "How many shares/contracts can I trade to keep my dollar risk within limits if my stop loss is placed at a recent high or low, plus an ATR-based buffer?"
Price Difference Calculation: It first calculates the dollar difference between the current close price and the high and low of the current bar (Now) and the previous 5 bars (1 to 5).
Tick Size & Value Conversion: These price differences are then converted into dollar values using the instrument's specific tickSize and tickValue. You can select common futures contracts (MNQ, MES, MGC, MCL), a generic "Stock" setting, or define custom values.
ATR Offset: An Average True Range (ATR) based offset is added to these dollar differences. This offset acts as a buffer, simulating a stop loss placed beyond the immediate high/low, accounting for market noise or volatility.
Risk-Based Share Size: Finally, using your Default Risk ($) input, the indicator calculates how many shares/contracts you can take for each of the 6 high/low scenarios (current bar, 5 previous bars) to ensure your dollar risk per trade remains constant.
Dynamic Table: All these calculations are presented in a clear, real-time table at the bottom-left of your chart. The table dynamically adjusts its "Label" to show the selected symbol preset, making it easy to see which instrument's settings are currently being used. The "Shares" rows indicate the maximum shares/contracts you can trade for a given risk and stop placement. The cells corresponding to the largest dollar difference (and thus smallest share size) for both high and low scenarios are highlighted, drawing your attention to the most conservative entry points.
Key Benefits:
Consistent Risk: Helps maintain a consistent dollar risk per trade, regardless of the instrument or its current price/volatility.
Dynamic Sizing: Automatically adjusts share/contract size based on market volatility and your chosen stop placement.
Quick Reference: Provides a real-time, easy-to-read table directly on your chart, eliminating manual calculations.
Informed Decision Making: Assists in quickly assessing trade opportunities and potential position sizes.
Setup Parameters (Inputs)
When you add the "Share Size" indicator to your chart, you'll see a settings dialog with the following parameters:
1. Symbol Preset:
Purpose: This is the primary setting to define the tick size and value for your chosen trading instrument.
Options:
MNQ (Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures)
MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500 Futures)
MGC (Micro Gold Futures)
MCL (Micro Crude Oil Futures)
Stock (Generic stock setting, with tick size/value of 0.01)
Custom (Allows you to manually input tick size and value)
Default: MNQ
Importance: Crucial for accurate dollar calculations. Ensure this matches the instrument you are trading.
2. Tick Size (Manual Override):
Purpose: Only used if Symbol Preset is set to Custom. This defines the smallest price increment for your instrument.
Type: Float
Default: 0.25
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none) unless "Custom" is selected. You might need to change display=display.none to display=display.inline in the code if you want to see and adjust it directly in the settings for "Custom" mode.
3. Tick Value (Manual Override):
Purpose: Only used if Symbol Preset is set to Custom. This defines the dollar value of one tickSize increment.
Type: Float
Default: 0.50
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none) unless "Custom" is selected. Similar to Tick Size, you might need to adjust its display property if you want it visible.
4. Default Risk ($):
Purpose: This is your maximum desired dollar risk per trade. All share size calculations will be based on this value.
Type: Float
Default: 50.0
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none). It's a critical setting, so consider making it visible by changing display=display.none to display=display.inline in the code if you want users to easily adjust their risk.
ATR Offset Settings (Group): This group of settings allows you to fine-tune the ATR-based buffer added to your potential stop loss.
5. ATR Offset Length:
Purpose: Defines the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation used for the offset.
Type: Integer
Default: 7
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
6. ATR Offset Timeframe:
Purpose: Specifies the timeframe on which the ATR for the offset will be calculated. This allows you to use ATR from a higher timeframe for your stop buffer, even if your chart is on a lower timeframe.
Type: Timeframe string (e.g., "1" for 1 minute, "60" for 1 hour, "D" for Daily)
Default: "1" (1 Minute)
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
7. ATR Offset Multiplier (x ATR):
Purpose: Multiplies the calculated ATR value to determine the final dollar offset added to your high/low price difference. A value of 1.0 means one full ATR is added. A value of 0.5 means half an ATR is added.
Type: Float
Minimum Value: 0 (no offset)

Description
The Ticker Pulse Meter Basic is a dynamic Pine Script v6 indicator designed to provide traders with a visual representation of a stock’s price position relative to its short-term and long-term ranges, enabling clear entry and exit signals for long-only trading strategies. By calculating three normalized metrics—Percent Above Long & Above Short, Percent Above Long & Below Short, and Percent Below Long & Below Short—this indicator offers a unique "pulse" of market sentiment, plotted as stacked area charts in a separate pane. With customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and signal plotting options, it empowers traders to identify optimal entry points and profit-taking levels. The indicator leverages Pine Script’s force_overlay feature to plot signals on either the main price chart or the indicator pane, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Key Features
Pulse Meter Metrics:
Computes three percentages based on short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) lookback periods:
Percent Above Long & Above Short: Measures price strength when above both short and long ranges (green area).
Percent Above Long & Below Short: Indicates mixed momentum (orange area).
Percent Below Long & Below Short: Signals weakness when below both ranges (red area).
Flexible Signal Plotting:
Toggle between plotting entry (blue dots) and exit (white dots) signals on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the indicator pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Entry/Exit Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the high threshold (default: 20%) and Percent Below Long & Below Short is below the low threshold (default: 40%).
Long Exit: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the profit-taking level (default: 95%).
Visual Enhancements:
Plots stacked area charts with semi-transparent colors (green, orange, red) for intuitive trend analysis.
Displays threshold lines for entry (high/low) and profit-taking levels.
Includes a ticker and timeframe table in the top-right corner for quick reference.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for long entry and exit signals, integrable with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Technical Innovation: Combines normalized price metrics with Pine Script v6’s force_overlay for seamless signal integration on the price chart or indicator pane.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate metrics, ensuring reliability.
Short-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)).
Long-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)).
Derived metrics:
pct_above_long_above_short = (pct_above_long * pct_above_short) * 100.
pct_above_long_below_short = (pct_above_long * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
pct_below_long_below_short = ((1 - pct_above_long) * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
Signal Plotting:
Entry signals (long_entry) use ta.crossover to detect when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short is below entryThresholdlow.
Exit signals (long_exit) use ta.crossover for pct_above_long_above_short crossing above profitTake.
Signals are plotted as tiny circles with force_overlay=true for main chart or standard plotting for the indicator pane.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating metrics only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.

cd_cisd_market_CxHi Traders,
Overview:
Many traders follow market structure to identify the market direction and seek trade opportunities in line with the trend.
However, markings derived from user-defined inputs can create different structures, depending on personal choices. For instance, choosing a pivot distance of 3 instead of 2 alters the structure, even though the chart remains the same. Ideally, the structure should remain consistent.
"Change in State Delivery" ( CISD ) is a widely accepted concept among traders and is considered a significant indicator of market direction based on the gain/loss of CISD levels.
In this indicator, CISD is selected as the primary criterion for marking market structure, eliminating the influence of user-dependent variations.
Here is a summary of the key logic and rules applied:
• When the price forms a new high/low, that level is only considered a pivot if a CISD has occurred.
• A bullish CISD is always followed by a bearish CISD, and vice versa.
• Pivot points form the internal structure.
• The internal structure is used to interpret the swing structure.
• Probabilities are derived from internal structure patterns.
________________________________________
Details:
How is CISD determined?
As is commonly known:
• When price makes a new high, the opening level of the first candle in the consecutive bullish candle sequence is marked.
• When price makes a new low, the opening of the first candle in the consecutive bearish sequence is marked.
• If there’s only one candle in the sequence, its opening level is used.
In a bullish market, losing a bearish CISD level (i.e., a close below it) or in a bearish market, gaining a bullish CISD level (i.e., a close above it) is interpreted as a potential shift in buyer-seller dominance and a possible market reversal.
________________________________________
How are internal (pivot) levels determined?
• When price closes below a bearish CISD level, the highest candle's high becomes a pivot high (PH).
• When price closes above a bullish CISD level, the lowest candle's low becomes a pivot low (PL).
• If the new PH is above the previous PH, it’s labeled as HH (Higher High); otherwise, LH (Lower High).
• If the new PL is below the previous PL, it’s labeled as LL (Lower Low); otherwise, HL (Higher Low).
________________________________________
Internal Market Structure:
• A series of HHs indicates a bullish internal structure.
• A series of LLs indicates a bearish internal structure.
________________________________________
Swing (Main) Market Structure:
Using internal pivots and previous swing levels, the main market structure is derived.
• A new swing high (SH) requires the price to move above the previous SH.
• A new swing low (SL) requires the price to move below the previous SL.
________________________________________
Probability Calculation:
Pivot levels forming the internal structure are coded as five-element sequences.
There are 64 possible combinations of such sequences made from consecutive PH and PL values.
Each pattern’s frequency from its starting candle is tracked.
To make it more understandable:
For example, after the four-sequence “HH, LL, LH,HL”, either HH or LH might follow.
The table shows the statistical likelihood of both possible outcomes for the most recent four-element sequence on the chart.
________________________________________
How reliable is it?
To assess reliability, results are calculated from the beginning using:
Success Rate (Suc. Rt) = Number of Correct Predictions / Total Predictions
This value is added to the table for reference.
It’s important to note that no statistical outcome guarantees certainty—every result offers a different interpretation. What truly matters is to avoid getting stopped out 😊.
________________________________________
Menu Options:
Show/hide preferences and color selections can be customized via the indicator menu.
________________________________________
What’s Coming in Future Versions?
Features such as FVG (Fair Value Gaps) between swing levels, volume imbalances, order blocks / mitigation blocks, Fibonacci levels, and relevant trade suggestions will be added.
________________________________________
This is a BETA version that I believe will help simplify your market reading. I’d be happy to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Cheerful Trading!
X OROverview
Designed to plot hourly opening ranges (ORs) on an intraday chart. It primarily serves as a trading tool for assessing market direction and potential trading opportunities by analyzing price action relative to key OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) levels within each hourly range.
The code provided is for each hour sessions from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a complete session-based framework. In addition there is the RTH open range
Purpose
The core purpose of this indicator is to:
✅ Define each hourly range (based on the session’s opening bar) by recording the high and low of that range.
✅ Extend this range into the following bars for visual reference — serving as dynamic support and resistance zones.
✅ Monitor price action relative to each hourly OR, helping traders evaluate market direction and structure trades using concepts like:
Breakouts above/below the OR high/low.
Rejections or consolidations within the OR.
Continuation or reversal signals tied to each OR.
Key Features
The script marks the first bar of the session as the OR session start.
During this bar, it initializes:
Opening price
Session high
Session low
These levels form the initial range.
🔹 Dynamic Range Tracking
Throughout the one-minute OR session:
The highest and lowest prices are updated in real time, capturing intra-hour volatility.
A visual background box is drawn to highlight the OR range on the chart.
🔹 Range Extension
The script defines an extended session period after the initial OR (e.g., 2:00 AM-2:45 AM for the 2:00 AM session).
During this extension period:
The box persists on the chart, providing a contextual zone that traders can use as a dynamic support/resistance area.
🔹 Visual Representation
Transparent colored boxes highlight each session’s OR visually on the chart.
These boxes help traders easily identify whether price is trading:
Inside the OR
Breaking above the high (potential bullish continuation)
Breaking below the low (potential bearish continuation)
Application in Trading
🔍 Trading the Opening Range Breakout
Traders often use the OR high and low as breakout triggers. For example:
A price break above the OR high may signal bullish momentum.
A break below the OR low may signal bearish momentum.
⚖️ Support and Resistance
Even if breakouts fail, the OR can act as a pivot zone — offering areas for:
Stop placements
Target levels
Entry confirmations for fade trades or mean reversion strategies.
🕒 Session Awareness
By defining each hour’s OR individually (from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM), traders can:
Analyze price behavior within each session.
Recognize when liquidity or volatility increases (e.g. around overlapping sessions like London open or New York open).
Summary
This Pine Script indicator provides a powerful framework for visualizing and trading hourly opening ranges. It enhances intraday analysis by:
Structuring price action within hourly boxes.
Highlighting key price levels relative to OHLC concepts.
Helping traders make more informed decisions by assessing price behavior around these critical ranges.
Dynamic Range Filter with Trend Candlesticks (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Dynamic Range Filter with Trend Candlesticks (Zeiierman) is a volatility-responsive trend engine that adapts in real-time to market structure, offering a clean and intelligent visualization of directional bias. It blends dynamic range calculation with customizable smoothing techniques and layered trend confirmation logic, making it ideal for traders who rely on clear trend direction, structural range analysis, and momentum-based candlestick signals.
By measuring scaled volatility over configurable lengths and applying advanced moving average techniques, this indicator filters out market noise while preserving true directional intent. Complementing this, a dual-trend system (range-based and candle-based) enhances clarity and responsiveness, particularly during shifting market conditions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Scaled Volatility Band Calculation
At the core lies a volatility engine that constructs adaptive range bands around price using smoothed high/low calculations. The bands are dynamically adjusted using:
High/Low Smoothing – Applies a moving average to the raw high and low data before calculating the range.
Scaled Range Volatility – A 2.618 multiplier scales the distance between smoothed highs and lows, forming a responsive volatility envelope.
Band Multiplier – Controls how wide the upper/lower range bands extend from the mean.
This filtering process minimizes false signals and highlights only structurally meaningful moves.
⚪ Multi-Type Smoothing Engine
Users can choose from a wide array of smoothing algorithms for trend construction, including:
HMA (default), SMA, EMA, RMA
KAMA – Adapts to market volatility using efficiency ratios.
VIDYA – Momentum-sensitive smoothing using CMO logic.
FRAMA – Dynamically adjusts to fractal dimension in price.
Super Smoother – Ideal for eliminating aliasing in range signals.
This provides the trader with fine-tuned control over reactivity vs. smoothness.
⚪ Trend Detection (Dual Engine)
The indicator includes two independent trend tracking systems:
Main Trend Filter – Based on adaptive volatility band shifts.
Candle Trend Filter – A second-tier confirmation using smoothed candle data, ideal for directional candles and confirmation entries.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Confirmation
Use the Trend Line and colored candlesticks for high-probability entries in the trend direction. The more trend layers that align, the higher the confidence.
⚪ Reversal Zones
When the price reaches the outer bands or fails to break them, look for candle color shifts or a crossover in the range to anticipate possible reversals or consolidations.
█ Settings
Scaled Volatility Length – Controls the lookback used to stabilize the base volatility band.
MA Type & Length – Choose and fine-tune the smoothing method (HMA, EMA, KAMA, etc.)
High/Low Smoother – Pre-smoothing for structural high/low banding.
Band Multiplier – Adjusts the width of the dynamic bands.
Trend Length (Candles) – Length used for candle-based trend confirmation.

Strong/Weak Candle FinderStrong/Weak Candle Finder (SWCF)
Overview:
The Strong/Weak Candle Finder (SWCF) is a versatile TradingView indicator designed to help traders identify statistically significant candles based on their size relative to recent historical price action. By analyzing a lookback period, the indicator dynamically calculates a threshold to classify candles as either "strong" (larger than the threshold) or "weak" (smaller than the threshold), providing visual cues directly on your chart.
This tool can be invaluable for traders looking to:
Spot potential momentum breakouts or high volatility (Strong Candles).
Identify periods of consolidation or low volatility (Weak Candles).
Gauge shifts in market sentiment based on candle body or range dynamics.
How It Works:
Candle Size Calculation: You choose how candle size is measured from four methods:
High - Low: The full range of the candle.
High - Close: The distance from the high to the close.
Open - Close: The size of the candle body.
Low - Open: The distance from the low to the open.
Historical Analysis: The indicator looks back over a user-defined LookBack Period to collect candle sizes.
Grouping & Precision: To smooth the distribution, candle sizes are grouped based on the Group Precision Size. This parameter divides the observed range of candle sizes into a set number of "bins," and individual candle sizes are rounded to the nearest representative value of these bins.
Percentile Threshold: A dynamic Outlier Pip Value is calculated based on the Outlier Percentile you set.
If Display Mode is "Strong Candles," this threshold represents the Nth percentile of the largest candle sizes (e.g., the 80th percentile if Outlier Percentile is 20%). Candles larger than this are marked as "Strong."
If Display Mode is "Weak Candles," this threshold represents the Nth percentile of the smallest candle sizes (e.g., the 20th percentile). Candles smaller than this are marked as "Weak."
Visual Markers: When a current candle meets the criteria (strong or weak based on your display mode), a configurable shape is plotted above (for strong) or below (for weak) the candle.
Resampling: The historical distribution and outlier threshold are recalculated every Resample Period (number of bars) to adapt to changing market conditions.
Key Features:
Dynamic Thresholds: Adapts to market volatility instead of using fixed pip values.
Customizable Candle Definition: Choose from four methods to define what "candle size" means to your strategy.
Flexible Display Modes: Focus on either identifying exceptionally strong candles or unusually weak ones.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Fine-tune the rarity of signals with Outlier Percentile and Group Precision Size.
Visual Chart Markers: Clear, customizable shapes (arrow, circle, etc.) for easy identification.
Periodic Recalculation: Ensures the indicator remains relevant as market dynamics evolve.
Parameters:
Display Mode:
Strong Candles: Highlights candles larger than the upper percentile threshold.
Weak Candles: Highlights candles smaller than the lower percentile threshold.
Resample Period (Candles): How often (in bars) to recalculate the historical distribution and outlier threshold.
LookBack Period (Candles): The number of past candles to analyze for the historical distribution. (Note: Plots will only begin after this many bars have loaded on the chart).
Group Precision Size: Number of groups to divide the candle size range into for rounding historical sizes. Higher values mean finer precision (less rounding).
Outlier Percentile (%): The percentile used to define the threshold for strong/weak candles.
Candle Size Method: (High-Low, High-Close, Open-Close, Low-Open).
Visuals:
Strong Shape: Choose the icon style for strong candles.
Weak Shape: Choose the icon style for weak candles.
Shape Size: Adjust the size of the plotted icons.
How to Use:
Strong Candles:
May indicate increased momentum, potential breakout confirmations, or high conviction moves.
Consider using in trending markets or as a filter for entry signals.
Weak Candles:
May signal market indecision, low volatility, consolidation phases, or potential exhaustion of a prior move.
Can be useful for identifying range-bound conditions or periods to be cautious.
Experimentation: Adjust the LookBack Period, Outlier Percentile, and Group Precision Size to match your trading style and the characteristics of the asset you are trading. What constitutes "strong" or "weak" can vary significantly.
Confirmation Tool: Use in conjunction with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI, volume) for more robust trading decisions.
Important Notes:
The indicator requires sufficient historical data (LookBack Period) to initialize. You may not see plots on the chart immediately if there aren't enough bars loaded.
Like all indicators, the SWCF is not a standalone trading system and should not be used as the sole basis for financial decisions.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use appropriate risk management.
We hope you find the Strong/Weak Candle Finder a valuable addition to your trading toolkit!
ICT Opening Range Projections (tristanlee85)ICT Opening Range Projections
This indicator visualizes key price levels based on ICT's (Inner Circle Trader) "Opening Range" concept. This 30-minute time interval establishes price levels that the algorithm will refer to throughout the session. The indicator displays these levels, including standard deviation projections, internal subdivisions (quadrants), and the opening price.
🟪 What It Does
The Opening Range is a crucial 30-minute window where market algorithms establish significant price levels. ICT theory suggests this range forms the basis for daily price movement.
This script helps you:
Mark the high, low, and opening price of each session.
Divide the range into quadrants (premium, discount, and midpoint/Consequent Encroachment).
Project potential price targets beyond the range using configurable standard deviation multiples .
🟪 How to Use It
This tool aids in time-based technical analysis rooted in ICT's Opening Range model, helping you observe price interaction with algorithmic levels.
Example uses include:
Identifying early structural boundaries.
Observing price behavior within premium/discount zones.
Visualizing initial displacement from the range to anticipate future moves.
Comparing price reactions at projected standard deviation levels.
Aligning price action with significant times like London or NY Open.
Note: This indicator provides a visual framework; it does not offer trade signals or interpretations.
🟪 Key Information
Time Zone: New York time (ET) is required on your chart.
Sessions: Supports multiple sessions, including NY midnight, NY AM, NY PM, and three custom timeframes.
Time Interval: Supports multi-timeframe up to 15 minutes. Best used on a 1-minute chart for accuracy.
🟪 Session Options
The Opening Range interval is configurable for up to 6 sessions:
Pre-defined ICT Sessions:
NY Midnight: 12:00 AM – 12:30 AM ET
NY AM: 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM ET
NY PM: 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM ET
Custom Sessions:
Three user-defined start/end time pairs.
This example shows a custom session from 03:30 - 04:00:
🟪 Understanding the Levels
The Opening Price is the open of the first 1-minute candle within the chosen session.
At session close, the Opening Range is calculated using its High and Low . An optional swing-based mode uses swing highs/lows for range boundaries.
The range is divided into quadrants by its midpoint ( Consequent Encroachment or CE):
Upper Quadrant: CE to high (premium).
Lower Quadrant: Low to CE (discount).
These subdivisions help visualize internal range dynamics, where price often reacts during algorithmic delivery.
🟪 Working with Ranges
By default, the range is determined by the highest high and lowest low of the 30-minute session:
A range can also be determined by the highest/lowest swing points:
Quadrants outline the premium and discount of a range that price will reference:
Small ranges still follow the same algorithmic logic, but may be deemed insignificant for one's trading. These can be filtered in the settings by specifying a minimum ticks limit. In this example, the range is 42 ticks (10.5 points) but the indicator is configured for 80 ticks (20 points). We can select which levels will plot if the range is below the limit. Here, only the 00:00 opening price is plotted:
You may opt to include the range high/low, quadrants, and projections as well. This will plot a red (configurable) range bracket to indicate it is below the limit while plotting the levels:
🟪 Price Projections
Projections extend beyond the Opening Range using standard deviations, framing the market beyond the initial session and identifying potential targets. You define the standard deviation multiples (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0).
Both positive and negative extensions are displayed, symmetrically projected from the range's high and low.
The Dynamic Levels option plots only the next projection level once price crosses the previous extreme. For example, only the 0.5 STDEV level plots until price reaches it, then the 1.0 level appears, and so on. This continues up to your defined maximum projections, or indefinitely if standard deviations are set to 0.
This example shows dynamic levels for a total of 6 sessions, only 1 of which meet a configured minimum limit of 50 ticks:
Small ranges followed by significant displacement are impacted the most with the number of levels plotted. You may hide projections when configuring the minimum ticks.
A fixed standard deviation will plot levels in both directions, regardless of the price range. Here, we plot up to 3.0 which hiding projections for small ranges:

1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout
This script is designed for 1-minute chart scalpers seeking high-probability intraday breakout setups based on early session price action. The strategy revolves around identifying the first high and low of the day, and then detecting the second breach (2nd high or 2nd low) to anticipate breakout entries.
🔍 Core Logic:
EMA Filter : A configurable EMA (default 8-period) is plotted for trend context.
1st High/Low Detection : Captures the very first high and low of each trading day.
2nd High/Low Markers : Identifies the second time price breaks the initial high or low, acting as a potential signal zone.
Breakout Signals :
A Buy Signal is triggered when price closes above the 2nd high.
A Sell Signal is triggered when price closes below the 2nd low.
Each signal is only triggered once per day to reduce noise and avoid overtrading.
🖌️ Visual Markers:
1stHi and 1stLo : Early session levels (red and green).
2ndHi and 2ndLo : Key breakout reference points (purple and blue).
B and S Labels : Buy and Sell triggers marked in real-time once breakouts occur.
⚙️ Inputs:
EMA Length (default: 8)
Customizable Colors for Buy/Sell signals and key markers
This tool is best used in fast-moving markets or during high-volume sessions. Combine with volume or higher-timeframe confirmation for improved accuracy.
Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.
