Fibonacci-Trading-Indikator_3Daily (weekly, monthly) profits with the Fibonacci trading indicator_3
Quotes move in Fibonacci ratios in liquid markets. With this indicator you receive information for daily trades or for position trades based on a week or on a monthly basis, in which area you should ideally enter the market and where the minimum achievable price target is. This price target is 61.8% of yesterday's trading range, or the trading range of the previous week, or the trading range of the previous month, depending on the time frame for which the indicator should calculate the minimum achievable high / low. This is also where you realize your profit.
For this calculation, the following entries must be made in the properties window of the indicator:
• Preselection uptrend / downtrend.
• Time frame (day, week, ...) of the price bar for the possible high / low to be determined.
• Trading range of the previous day, or the previous week, or the previous month.
• Current lowest low of the selected time frame when trading has started and prices are rising.
• Current highest high of the selected time frame when trading has started and prices are falling.
Important areas for trading are:
• The entry range 0% - 23.6% for long or short.
• The target price level 61.8%.
Choose a suitable time frame to detect the direction of movement while the quotes are still moving in the entry area. The camelback indicator can be of great help. Also test the resolution setting of the camelback indicator. With a resolution of 1 hour in the 6 or 12 minute chart, you get a perspective for the broader direction. Movement patterns of corrections or consolidations, if they last more than a day or a week, also give clues to the coming direction of movement for the trade. So look back to see what happened yesterday, a week ago, or a month ago. Pay attention to the market anatomy, find out how the market works, count the price bars in consolidations and trends.
After entering the values the indicator will show the Fibonacci expansion price levels for the possible high or low for the selected time frame. Buy / sell within the entry range between 0% and 23.6% as the market moves towards the last long / or short entry point. This is the course range up to the 23.6% course level. The 61.8% price level is the minimum expected price target. We assume that the current bar will reach at least 61.8% of the trading range of the previous day, week or month. Depending on the set time frame. You should therefore realize the profits you have made with 50% of the position when the prices have reached the 61.8% level. With a suitable trailing stop you can be stopped with the rest of the position, but do not risk more than 50% of the profits.
With the quarter or year preselection and the corresponding entries, the minimum expected quarterly high / quarterly low or annual high / annual low can be determined.
The Fibonacci price levels can be shown and hidden. In the chart click on the gear wheel for “Chart Settings”. In the “Scaling” menu, the price levels can be displayed with the preselection “Label for indicator names” and “Label for last indicator value”. Slide the chart to the right to find possible support and resistance at the price levels that could provide confirmation of the target.
In the event of input errors or missing entries for a time frame, the indicator is hidden.
Pay attention to your trade management to avoid losses.
The new Fibonacci Trading Indicator_3 has the following additions and changes:
Area code for the quarter time frame has been added.
The entry area received a 23.6% and a 50% subdivision. Two envelope lines above the 23.6% entry level in the case of an upward trend and below the 23.6% entry level in the case of a downtrend, with a width of 23.6% and 14.6% of the entry level, are intended to indicate that the closing price is higher the quotations have broken out of the entry-level area.
A volatility stop for upward and downward trends can be activated.
A factor is added to the fluctuation range of each price bar for the stop. Then a moving average is calculated with an adjustable period. The period setting should be set between 5 and 10. The result can be smoothed adjustable.
Presetting:
Periods = 10
Factor = 1.4
Smoothing = 7
With the assumption that the market entry in an upward trend occurs when the prices break out above a bar high, the result of the stop calculation is subtracted from the bar high. In the case of a downward trend, the result of the stop calculation is added to the price bar low.
When entering the market, set the factor to 2.4. If inside bars follow a trend movement, the stop should be brought closer. Try the factor setting 0.4 or less. The smallest adjustable factor is 0.1.
For the entry into an established trend, as described in an idea contribution by me, there are two switchable moving averages. The application for the (MA_H) takes place on high and for the (MA_L) adjustable on high, low, shot, h + 1/2 etc. Period and offset (shift) are adjustable. With this idea, the entry into the market occurs between a 618% correction (the Fibonacci entry point) and the DEP (average entry point). The DEP in this case is the MA_H with period = 4 and an offset = 1 in the case of a downward trend, or the MA_L with the same setting and application to lows in an upward trend.
Also test the MA_L in trends with the settings (period, offset) 3.3 or 5, 3 or 7.5 and applying it to closing prices for a close encompassing of the highs / lows.
Tägliche (wöchentliche, monatliche) Gewinne mit dem Fibonacci-Trading Indikator_3
Kursnotierungen bewegen sich in liquiden Märkten in Fibonacci-Verhältnisse. Mit diesem Indikator erhalten Sie für Tagesgeschäfte, oder für Positionstrades auf Basis einer Woche, oder auf Basis eines Monats Informationen, in welchem Bereich Sie idealerweise in den Markt einsteigen sollten und wo das mindeste erreichbare Kursziel liegt. Dieses Kursziel liegt bei 61,8% der gestrigen Handelspanne, oder der Handelspanne der Vorwoche, oder der Handelspanne des Vormonats, also abhängig davon für welchen Zeitrahmen der Indikator das mindeste erreichbare Hoch/Tief berechnen soll. Dort realisieren Sie auch Ihren Gewinn.
Für diese Berechnung sind folgende Eingaben im Eigenschaftenfenster des Indikators einzustellen:
• Vorwahl Aufwärtstrend/ Abwärtstrend.
• Zeitrahmen (Tag, Woche, …) des Kursbalkens für das zu ermittelnde mögliche Hoch/ Tief.
• Handelspanne des vorherigen Tages, oder der vorherigen Woche, oder des vorherigen Monats.
• Aktuell tiefstes Tief des vorgewählten Zeitrahmens, wenn der Handel begonnen hat und die Notierungen steigen.
• Aktuell höchstes Hoch des vorgewählten Zeitrahmens, wenn der Handel begonnen hat und die Notierungen fallen.
Wichtige Bereiche für das Trading sind:
• Der Einstiegsbereich 0% - 23,6% für long oder short.
• Der Kursziellevel 61,8%.
Wählen Sie für die Erkennung der Bewegungsrichtung einen geeigneten Zeitrahmen, während sich die Notierungen noch im Einstiegsbereich bewegen. Der Camelback-Indikator kann eine gute Hilfe sein. Testen Sie auch die Auflösung-Einstellung des Camelback-Indikators. Mit der Auflösung 1 Stunde Im 6- oder 12 Minuten-Chart erhalten Sie einen Blickwinkel für die große Richtung. Auch Bewegungsmuster von Korrekturen oder Konsolidierungen, wenn sie mehr als einen Tag oder eine Woche andauern geben Hinweise auf die kommende Bewegungsrichtung für den Trade. Schauen Sie also zurück um zu prüfen, was sich gestern, vor einer Woche oder vor einem Monat abgespielt hat. Achten sie auf die Marktanatomie, finden Sie heraus wie der Markt funktioniert, zählen Sie Kursstäbe in Konsolidierungen und Trends.
Nach Eingabe der Werte zeigt der Indikator die Fibonacci-Ausweitungskurslevels für das mögliche Hoch oder Tief für den ausgewählten Zeitrahmen. Kaufen/ verkaufen Sie innerhalb des Einstiegsbereichs zwischen 0% und 23,6%, während sich der Markt in Richtung des letzten long-/ oder short-Einstiegspunktes bewegt. Das ist der Kursbereich bis zum 23,6%- Kurslevel. Der 61,8%-Kurslevel ist das mindeste erwartbare Kursziel. Wir gehen davon aus, dass der aktuelle Kursbalken mindestens 61,8% der Handelsspanne des vorherigen Tages, der vorherigen Woche oder des vorherigen Monats erreichen wird. Abhängig vom eingestellten Zeitrahmen. Realisieren Sie deshalb die angelaufenen Gewinne mit 50% der Position, wenn die Notierungen den 61,8% - Level erreicht haben. Mit einem geeigneten Trailing-Stopp lassen Sie sich mit der restlichen Position ausstoppen, riskieren Sie dafür aber nicht mehr als 50 % der angelaufenen Gewinne.
Mit der Vorwahl Quartal oder Jahr und den entsprechenden Eingaben kann auch das mindeste erwartbare Quartalshoch/ Quartalstief bzw. Jahreshoch/ Jahrestief ermittelt werden.
Die Fibonacci-Kurslevels lassen sich ein- und ausblenden. Klicken Sie im Chart auf das Zahnrad für „Chart Einstellungen“. Im Menü „Skalierungen“ kann mit der Vorwahl „Label für Indikatornahmen“ und „Label für letzten Indikatorwert“ die Kurslevels angezeigt werden. Schieben Sie den Chart nach rechts um mögliche Unterstützungen und Widerstände an den Kurslevels zu finden, die Bestätigung für das Ziel geben könnten.
Bei Eingabefehlern oder fehlenden Eingaben zu einem Zeitrahmen wird der Indikator ausgeblendet.
Achten Sie zur Vermeidung von Verlusten auf ihr Handelsmanagement.
Der neue Fibonacci-Trading-Indikator_3 besitz folgende Zusätze und Änderungen:
Vorwahl für den Zeitrahmen Quartal wurde hinzugefügt.
Der Einstiegsbereich erhielt eine 23,6% und eine 50% Unterteilung. Zwei Umschlagslinien über dem 23,6%-Einstiegslevel bei einem Aufwärtstrend, bzw. unter dem 23,6%-Einstiegslevel bei einem Abwärtstrend, mit der Breite 23,6% und 14,6% vom Einstiegsbereich, sollen bei höherem Schlusskurs signalisieren, dass die Notierungen aus dem Einstiegsbereich ausgebrochen sind.
Ein Volatilitätsstopp jeweils für Aufwärts- und Abwärtstrend kann zugeschaltet werden.
Für den Stopp wird die Schwankungsbreite jedes Kursbalkens wird mit einem Faktor beaufschlagt. Danach erfolgt die Berechnung eines gleitenden Durchschnitts mit einstellbarer Periode. Die Periodeneinstellung sollte zwischen 5 und 10 eingestellt werden. Das Ergebnis kann einstellbar geglättet werden.
Voreinstellung:
Perioden = 10
Faktor = 1,4
Glättung = 7
Mit der Annahme, dass der Markteinstieg in einem Aufwärtstrend bei Ausbruch der Notierungen über ein Kursbalkenhoch erfolgt, wird das Ergebnis der Stoppberechnung vom Kursbalkenhoch subtrahiert. Bei einem Abwärtstrend wird das Ergebnis der Stoppberechnung zum Kursbalkentief addiert.
Stellen Sie bei Markteintritt den Faktor auf 2,4. Folgen nach einer Trendbewegung Innenstäbe sollte der Stopp näher herangeführt werden. Probieren Sie die Faktoreinstellung 0,4 oder kleiner. Der kleinste einstellbare Faktor ist 0,1.
Für den Einstieg in einen etablierten Trend, wie in einem Ideenbeitrag von mir beschrieben, gibt es zwei zuschaltbare gleitende Durchschnitte. Die Anwendung für den (MA_H) erfolgt auf Hochs und für den (MA_L) einstellbar auf Hoch, Tief, Schuss, h+l/2 usw.. Periode und Offset (Verschiebung) sind einstellbar. Bei dieser Idee erfolgt der Einstieg in den Markt zwischen einer 618%-Korrektur (dem Fibonacci-Einstiegspunkt) und dem DEP (Durchschnittlicher Einstiegspunkt). Der DEP ist in diesem Fall der MA_H mit Periode = 4 und einem Offset = 1, bei einem Abwärtstrend, oder der MA_L mit identischer Einstellung und Anwendung auf Tiefs in einem Aufwärtstrend.
Testen Sie den MA_L auch in Trends mit den Einstellungen (Periode, Offset) 3,3 oder 5, 3 oder 7,5 und Anwendung auf Schlusskurse für eine enge Umfassung der Hochs/ Tiefs.

Volume Profile [Makit0]VOLUME PROFILE INDICATOR v0.5 beta
Volume Profile is suitable for day and swing trading on stock and futures markets, is a volume based indicator that gives you 6 key values for each session: POC, VAH, VAL, profile HIGH, LOW and MID levels. This project was born on the idea of plotting the RTH sessions Value Areas for /ES in an automated way, but you can select between 3 different sessions: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL sessions.
Some basic concepts:
- Volume Profile calculates the total volume for the session at each price level and give us market generated information about what price and range of prices are the most traded (where the value is)
- Value Area (VA): range of prices where 70% of the session volume is traded
- Value Area High (VAH): highest price within VA
- Value Area Low (VAL): lowest price within VA
- Point of Control (POC): the most traded price of the session (with the most volume)
- Session HIGH, LOW and MID levels are also important
There are a huge amount of things to know of Market Profile and Auction Theory like types of days, types of openings, relationships between value areas and openings... for those interested Jim Dalton's work is the way to come
I'm in my 2nd trading year and my goal for this year is learning to daytrade the futures markets thru the lens of Market Profile
For info on Volume Profile: TV Volume Profile wiki page at www.tradingview.com
For info on Market Profile and Market Auction Theory: Jim Dalton's book Mind over markets (this is a MUST)
BE AWARE: this indicator is based on the current chart's time interval and it only plots on 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes charts.
This is the correlation table TV uses in the Volume Profile Session Volume indicator (from the wiki above)
Chart Indicator
1 - 5 1
6 - 15 5
16 - 30 10
31 - 60 15
61 - 120 30
121 - 1D 60
This indicator doesn't follow that correlation, it doesn't get the volume data from a lower timeframe, it gets the data from the current chart resolution.
FEATURES
- 6 key values for each session: POC (solid yellow), VAH (solid red), VAL (solid green), profile HIGH (dashed silver), LOW (dashed silver) and MID (dotted silver) levels
- 3 sessions to choose for: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL
- select the numbers of sessions to plot by adding 12 hours periods back in time
- show/hide POC
- show/hide VAH & VAL
- show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID levels
- highlight the periods of time out of the session (silver)
- extend the plotted lines all the way to the right, be careful this can turn the chart unreadable if there are a lot of sessions and lines plotted
SETTINGS
- Session: select between RTH (8:30 to 15:15 CT), GLOBEX (17:00 to 8:30 CT) and FULL (17:00 to 15:15 CT) sessions. RTH by default
- Last 12 hour periods to show: select the deph of the study by adding periods, for example, 60 periods are 30 natural days and around 22 trading days. 1 period by default
- Show POC (Point of Control): show/hide POC line. true by default
- Show VA (Value Area High & Low): show/hide VAH & VAL lines. true by default
- Show Range (Session High, Low & Mid): show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID lines. true by default
- Highlight out of session: show/hide a silver shadow over the non session periods. true by default
- Extension: Extend all the plotted lines to the right. false by default
HOW TO SETUP
BE AWARE THIS INDICATOR PLOTS ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CHART RESOLUTIONS: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 AND 30 MINUTES CHARTS. YOU MUST SELECT ONE OF THIS RESOLUTIONS TO THE INDICATOR BE ABLE TO PLOT
- By default this indicator plots all the levels for the last RTH session within the last 12 hours, if there is no plot try to adjust the 12 hours periods until the seesion and the periods match
- For Globex/Full sessions just select what you want from the dropdown menu and adjust the periods to plot the values
- Show or hide the levels you want with the 3 groups: POC line, VA lines and Session Range lines
- The highlight and extension options are for a better visibility of the levels as POC or VAH/VAL

Previous Day Week Highs & LowsThis script plots the previous n day and week highs and lows (previous two days and previous week by default).
Here are some additional info about the script behavior:
Plots highs and/or lows
Plots for days and/or weeks
Day highs and lows are shown only on intraday timeframes
Week highs and lows are shown only on timeframes < weekly
Lucid SARI wrote this script after having listened to Hyperwave with Sawcruhteez and Tyler Jenks of Lucid Investments Strategies LLC on July 3, 2019. They felt that the existing built-in Parabolic SAR indicator was not doing its calculations properly, and they hoped that someone might help them correct this. So I tried my hand at it, learning Pine Script as I went. I worked on it through the early morning hours and finished it by 4 am on July 4, 2019. I've added a few bits of code since, adding the rule regarding the SAR not advancing beyond the high (low) of the prior two candles during an uptrend (downtrend), but the core script is as it was.
This code is open source under the MIT license. If you have any improvements or corrections to suggest, please send me a pull request via the github repository github.com
For more details on the initial script, see
Sawcruhteez from Lucid Investment Strategies wrote the following description of the Parabolic SAR, where the quotes are from Section II of J. Welles Wilder, Jr.'s book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems (1978)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parabolic SAR
"The Parabolic Time / Price System derives its name from the fact that when charted, the
pattern formed by the stops resembles a parabola, or if you will, a French Curve. The system
allows room for the market to react for the first few days after a trade is initiated and then the
stop begins to move up more rapidly. The stop is not only a function of price but also a function
of time .
"The stop never backs up. It moves an incremental amount each day, only in the direction which
the trade has been initiated."
"The stop is also a function of price because the distance the stop moves up is relative to the
favorable distance the price has moved... specifically, the most favorable price reached since the
trade was initiated."
A. The calculation for a bullish Parabolic SAR is:
Tomorrow’s SAR = Today’s SAR + AF(EP - Today’s SAR)
"Acceleration Factor (AF) is one of a progression of numbers beginning at 0.02 and ending at
0.20. The AF is increased by 0.02 each period that a new high is made" (if long) or new low is
made (if short).
EP is the "Extreme Price Point for the trade made so far. If Long , EP is the extreme high price for
the trade; if Short , EP is the extreme low price for the trade.”
Most websites will provide the above calculation for the Parabolic SAR but almost all of them
leave out this crucial detail:
B. "Never move the SAR into the previous day’s range or today’s range
"1. If Long , never move the SAR for tomorrow above the previous day’s low or
today’s low . If the SAR is calculated to be above the previous day’s low or
today’s low, then use the lower low between today and the previous day as
the new SAR. Make the next days calculations based upon this SAR.
"2. If Short , never move the SAR for tomorrow below the previous day’s high or
today’s high . If the SAR is calculated to be below the previous days’ high or
today’s high, then use the higher high between today and the previous day
as the new SAR. Make the next days calculations based upon this SAR."
When a Bullish SAR is broken then it gets placed at the SIP (significant point) of the prior trend.
In otherwords it is placed above the current candle and at the price that was the SIP.
The inverse is true for the first Bullish SAR.
"This system is a true reversal system; that is, every stop point is also a reverse point." If breaking
through a bearish SAR (one above price) that simultaneously signals to close a short and go
long.
Non Parametric Adaptive Moving AverageIntroduction
Not be confused with non-parametric statistics, i define a "non-parametric" indicator as an indicator who does not have any parameter input. Such indicators can be useful since they don't need to go through parameter optimization. I present here a non parametric adaptive moving average based on exponential averaging using a modified ratio of open-close to high-low range indicator as smoothing variable.
The Indicator
The ratio of open-close to high-low range is a measurement involving calculating the ratio between the absolute close/open price difference and the range (high - low) , now the relationship between high/low and open/close price has been studied in econometrics for some time but there are no reason that the ohlc range ratio may be an indicator of volatility, however we can make the hypothesis that trending markets contain less indecision than ranging market and that indecision is measured by the high/low movements, this is an idea that i've heard various time.
Since the range is always greater than the absolute close/open difference we have a scaled smoothing variable in a range of 0/1, this allow to perform exponential averaging. The ratio of open-close to high-low range is calculated using the vwap of the close/high/low/open price in order to increase the smoothing effect. The vwap tend to smooth more with low time frames than higher ones, since the indicator use vwap for the calculation of its smoothing variable, smoothing may differ depending on the time frame you are in.
1 minute tf
1 hour tf
Conclusion
Making non parametric indicators is quite efficient, but they wont necessarily outperform classical parametric indicators. I also presented a modified version of the ratio of open-close to high-low range who can provide a smoothing variable for exponential averaging. I hope the indicator can help you in any way.

Scout Regiment - MACD# Scout Regiment - MACD Indicator
## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - MACD is an advanced implementation of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator with enhanced features including dual divergence detection (histogram and MACD line), customizable moving average types, multi-timeframe analysis, and sophisticated visual elements. This indicator provides traders with comprehensive momentum analysis and high-probability reversal signals.
### What is MACD?
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages:
- **MACD Line**: Difference between fast and slow EMAs
- **Signal Line**: Moving average of the MACD line
- **Histogram**: Difference between MACD line and signal line
- **Purpose**: Identifies trend direction, momentum strength, and potential reversals
### Key Features
#### 1. **Enhanced MACD Display**
**Three Core Components:**
**MACD Line** (Default: Blue/Orange, 2px)
- Fast EMA (13) minus Slow EMA (34)
- Shows momentum direction
- Color changes based on position relative to signal line:
- Blue: Above signal line (bullish)
- Orange: Below signal line (bearish)
- Can be toggled on/off
**Signal Line** (Default: White/Blue with transparency, 2px)
- EMA (9) of the MACD line
- Serves as trigger line for crossover signals
- Color varies based on settings
- Essential for identifying entry/exit points
**Histogram** (Default: 4-color gradient, 4px columns)
- Difference between MACD and signal line
- Visual representation of momentum strength
- Advanced 4-color scheme:
- **Dark Green (#26A69A)**: Positive and increasing (strong bullish)
- **Light Green (#B2DFDB)**: Positive but decreasing (weakening bullish)
- **Dark Red (#FF5252)**: Negative and decreasing (strong bearish)
- **Light Red (#FFCDD2)**: Negative but increasing (weakening bearish)
- Histogram tells the "story" of momentum changes
#### 2. **Customizable Moving Average Types**
**Oscillator MA Type** (MACD Line calculation):
- **EMA** (Exponential) - Default, more responsive
- **SMA** (Simple) - Smoother, less responsive
**Signal Line MA Type**:
- **EMA** (Exponential) - Default, faster signals
- **SMA** (Simple) - Slower, fewer false signals
**Flexibility**: Mix and match for different trading styles
- EMA/EMA: Most responsive (day trading)
- SMA/SMA: Smoothest (swing trading)
- EMA/SMA or SMA/EMA: Balanced approaches
#### 3. **Multi-Timeframe Capability**
**Current Chart Period** (Default: Enabled)
- Uses current timeframe automatically
- Simplest option for most traders
**Custom Timeframe Selection**
- Calculate MACD on any timeframe
- Display higher timeframe MACD on lower timeframe charts
- Example: View 1H MACD on 15min chart
- **Use Case**: Align lower timeframe trades with higher timeframe momentum
#### 4. **Visual Enhancement Features**
**Golden Cross / Death Cross Markers**
- Circles mark crossover points
- Color matches MACD line color
- Clearly identifies entry/exit signals
- Can be toggled on/off
**Zero Line** (White, 2px solid)
- Reference for positive/negative momentum
- Critical level for trend identification
- MACD above zero = Bullish bias
- MACD below zero = Bearish bias
**Color Transitions**
- MACD line changes color at signal line crosses
- Histogram shows momentum acceleration/deceleration
- Provides early warning of trend changes
#### 5. **Dual Divergence Detection System**
This indicator features TWO separate divergence detection systems:
**A. Histogram Divergence Detection**
- **Purpose**: Earlier divergence signals (most sensitive)
- **Detects**: Regular bullish and bearish divergences
- **Label**: "H涨" (Histogram Up), "H跌" (Histogram Down)
- **Special Feature**: Same-sign requirement option
- Top divergence: Both histogram points must be positive
- Bottom divergence: Both histogram points must be negative
- Filters out less reliable divergences
**B. MACD Line Divergence Detection**
- **Purpose**: Stronger, more reliable divergences
- **Detects**: Regular bullish and bearish divergences
- **Label**: "M涨" (MACD Up), "M跌" (MACD Down)
- **Use**: Confirmation of histogram divergences or standalone
**Divergence Types Explained:**
**Regular Bullish Divergence (Yellow)**
- **Price**: Lower lows
- **Indicator**: Higher lows (histogram OR MACD line)
- **Signal**: Potential upward reversal
- **Best**: Near support levels, oversold conditions
- **Entry**: After price breaks above recent resistance
**Regular Bearish Divergence (Blue)**
- **Price**: Higher highs
- **Indicator**: Lower highs (histogram OR MACD line)
- **Signal**: Potential downward reversal
- **Best**: Near resistance levels, overbought conditions
- **Entry**: After price breaks below recent support

2. **Identify Trend**
- MACD above zero = Uptrend
- MACD below zero = Downtrend
3. **Watch for Crossovers**
- Golden cross (MACD crosses above signal) = Buy signal
- Death cross (MACD crosses below signal) = Sell signal
4. **Confirm with Histogram**
- Increasing histogram = Strengthening trend
- Decreasing histogram = Weakening trend
#### For Divergence Trading
1. **Enable Both Divergence Systems**
- Histogram divergence (early signals)
- MACD line divergence (confirmation)
2. **Wait for Divergence Signals**
- "H涨" or "H跌" = Early warning
- "M涨" or "M跌" = Confirmation
3. **Best Divergences**
- Both histogram AND MACD line showing divergence
- Divergence at key support/resistance levels
- Multiple divergences on same trend
4. **Entry Timing**
- Wait for price structure break
- Enter on pullback after confirmation
- Use MACD crossover as trigger
#### For Multi-Timeframe Analysis
1. **Set Higher Timeframe**
- Example: 4H MACD on 1H chart
- Uncheck "Use Current Chart Period"
- Select desired timeframe
2. **Identify Higher TF Trend**
- MACD position relative to zero
- MACD vs signal line relationship
3. **Trade with HTF Direction**
- Only take long signals if HTF MACD bullish
- Only take short signals if HTF MACD bearish
4. **Use Current TF for Entries**
- Higher TF for bias
- Current TF for precise timing
#### For Histogram Analysis
1. **Enable 4-Color Histogram**
- Watch color transitions
- Dark colors = Strong momentum

2. **Momentum Stages**
- Dark green → Light green = Bullish losing steam
- Light red → Dark red = Bearish gaining strength
3. **Trade Transitions**
- Light green to light red = Momentum shift (potential reversal)
- Entry on confirmation crossover
### Trading Strategies
#### Strategy 1: Classic MACD Crossover
**Setup:**
- Standard settings (13/34/9)
- Enable MACD, signal line, and cross markers
- Clear trend on higher timeframe
**Entry:**
- **Long**: Golden cross (circle marker) above zero line
- **Short**: Death cross (circle marker) below zero line
**Confirmation:**
- Histogram color supporting direction
- Volume increase helps
**Stop Loss:**
- Below recent swing low (long)
- Above recent swing high (short)
**Exit:**
- Opposite crossover

**Best For:** Trend following, clear trending markets
#### Strategy 2: Zero Line Bounce
**Setup:**
- Enable all components
- Established trend (MACD staying one side of zero)
- Wait for pullback to zero line
**Entry:**
- **Long**: MACD touches zero from above, bounces up with golden cross
- **Short**: MACD touches zero from below, bounces down with death cross
**Confirmation:**
- Histogram color change
- Price at support/resistance
**Stop Loss:**
- Just beyond zero line (opposite side)
**Exit:**
- Target previous extreme
- Or opposite crossover
**Best For:** Trend continuation, strong markets
#### Strategy 3: Dual Divergence Confirmation
**Setup:**

- EMAs (21/55/144) show trend
- MACD shows momentum
- Enter when both align
- Exit when MACD turns first
**With RSI:**
- RSI for overbought/oversold
- MACD for momentum confirmation
- Divergence on both = Extremely strong signal
- RSI + MACD divergence = High probability trade
**With Volume:**
- Volume confirms MACD signals
- Crossover + volume spike = Valid breakout
- Divergence + volume divergence = Strong reversal
**With Support/Resistance:**
- S/R levels for entry/exit targets
- MACD divergence at levels = Highest probability
- MACD crossover at level = Strong confirmation
**With Bias Indicator:**
- Bias shows price deviation from EMA
- MACD shows momentum
- Both diverging = Powerful reversal signal
- Bias extreme + MACD divergence = High conviction trade
**With OBV:**
- OBV shows volume trend
- MACD shows price momentum
- OBV + MACD divergence = Volume not supporting price
- Strong reversal indication
**With KSI (RSI/CCI):**
- KSI for oscillator extremes
- MACD for momentum direction
- KSI extreme + MACD divergence = Reversal likely
- All aligned = Maximum confidence
### Common MACD Patterns
1. **Bullish Cross Above Zero**: Strong uptrend continuation signal
2. **Bearish Cross Below Zero**: Strong downtrend continuation signal
3. **Zero Line Rejection**: Price respects zero as support/resistance
4. **Histogram Peak**: Momentum climax, watch for reversal
5. **Double Divergence**: Two divergences without reversal = Very strong signal when it finally reverses
6. **Histogram Convergence**: Histogram narrowing = Trend losing steam
7. **Signal Line Hug**: MACD stays close to signal = Consolidation, expect breakout
### Performance Tips
- Start with default settings (13/34/9 EMA/EMA)
- Test one divergence system at a time
- Use same sign requirement initially
- Enable cross markers for clear signals
- Adjust lookback parameters per market volatility
- Higher timeframe MACD more reliable than lower
- Combine histogram early signal with MACD line confirmation
- Don't trade every divergence - wait for best setups
### Alert Conditions
While not explicitly coded, you can set custom alerts on:
- MACD crossing above/below signal line
- MACD crossing above/below zero line
- Histogram crossing zero
- When divergence labels appear (using visual alerts)

## 📊 How It Works
DAO calculates the ratio of buying pressure to total market pressure:
1. **Calculate Buying Pressure (DemandMax):**
- If current high > previous high: DemandMax = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMax = 0
2. **Calculate Selling Pressure (DemandMin):**
- If previous low > current low: DemandMin = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMin = 0
3. **Apply Smoothing:**
- Calculate SMA of DemandMax over N periods
- Calculate SMA of DemandMin over N periods
4. **Final Formula:**
```
DAO = SMA(DemandMax) / (SMA(DemandMax) + SMA(DemandMin))
```
This produces a normalized value (0-1) representing market demand strength.

Session SFPThis script is a powerful, multi-timeframe tool designed to identify high-probability Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) at key historical levels.
Instead of looking for traditional "pivots" (like a 3-bar swing), this indicator finds the actual high and low of a previous higher-timeframe (HTF) bar (e.g., the previous weekly high/low) and waits for a lower-timeframe (LTF) candle to sweep that level and fail.
This allows you to spot liquidity sweeps and potential reversals at significant, structural price points.
How It Works
The indicator's logic is based on a simple, two-timeframe process:
Level Detection: First, it finds the high and low of the previous bar on your chosen "Level Timeframe" (e.g., W for Weekly, D for Daily). It plots these as small 'x' markers on your chart.
SFP Identification: Second, it watches price action on a lower "SFP Timeframe" (e.g., 240 for 4H). A potential SFP is identified when a candle's wick sweeps above a key high or below a key low.
Confirmation: The SFP is only confirmed after the SFP candle closes back below the high (for a bearish SFP) or above the low (for a bullish SFP). It then waits for a set number of "Confirmation Bars" to pass. If price does not close back over the level during this window, the signal is locked in, and a label is printed.
How to Use (Key Settings)
Level Timeframe (Most Important): This is the timeframe for the levels you want to trade. Set this to W to find SFPs of the previous weekly high/low. Set it to D to find SFPs of the previous daily high/low.
SFP Timeframe: This is the timeframe you want to use to find the SFP candle itself. This should be lower than your Level Timeframe (e.g., 240 or 60).
Level Lookback: This controls how many old levels the script will track. A value of 10 on a W Level Timeframe will track the highs and lows of the last 10 weeks.
Confirmation Bars: This is your "patience" filter. It's the number of SFP Timeframe bars that must close without reclaiming the level after the SFP. A value of 0 will confirm the SFP immediately on the candle's close.
Enable Wick % Filter: A quality filter. If checked, this ensures the SFP candle's rejection wick is a significant percentage of the candle's total range.
Chart Visuals
'x' Markers: These are the historical highs and lows from your "Level Timeframe". You can turn these on or off in the settings.
SFP Label: When an SFP is fully confirmed, a label (Bearish SFP or Bullish SFP) will appear, detailing the level that was swept and the timeframes used.
SFP Line: A solid horizontal line is drawn from the 'x' marker to the SFP candle to highlight the sweep.
Colored Boxes (Optional): If you are viewing a chart timeframe lower than your "SFP Timeframe", you can enable background boxes to highlight the exact SFP candle and its confirmation bars.

LibPvotLibrary "LibPvot"
This is a library for advanced technical analysis, specializing
in two core areas: the detection of price-oscillator
divergences and the analysis of market structure. It provides
a back-end engine for signal detection and a toolkit for
indicator plotting.
Key Features:
1. **Complete Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C):** The engine detects
all three major types of divergences, providing a full spectrum of
analytical signals:
- **Regular (A):** For potential trend reversals.
- **Hidden (B):** For potential trend continuations.
- **Exaggerated (C):** For identifying weakness at double tops/bottoms.
2. **Advanced Signal Filtering:** The detection logic uses a
percentage-based price tolerance (`prcTol`). This feature
enables the practical detection of Exaggerated divergences
(which rarely occur at the exact same price) and creates a
"dead zone" to filter insignificant noise from triggering
Regular divergences.
3. **Pivot Synchronization:** A bar tolerance (`barTol`) is used
to reliably match price and oscillator pivots that do not
align perfectly on the same bar, preventing missed signals.
4. **Signal Invalidation Logic:** Features two built-in invalidation
rules:
- An optional `invalidate` parameter automatically terminates
active divergences if the price or the oscillator breaks
the level of the confirming pivot.
- The engine also discards 'half-pivots' (e.g., a price pivot)
if a corresponding oscillator pivot does not appear within
the `barTol` window.
5. **Stateful Plotting Helpers:** Provides helper functions
(`bullDivPos` and `bearDivPos`) that abstract away the
state management issues of visualizing persistent signals.
They generate gap-free, accurately anchored data series
ready to be used in `plotshape` functions, simplifying
indicator-side code.
6. **Rich Data Output:** The core detection functions (`bullDiv`, `bearDiv`)
return a comprehensive 9-field data tuple. This includes the
boolean flags for each divergence type and the precise
coordinates (price, oscillator value, bar index) of both the
starting and the confirming pivots.
7. **Market Structure & Trend Analysis:** Includes a
`marketStructure` function to automatically identify pivot
highs/lows, classify their relationship (HH, LH, LL, HL),
detect structure breaks, and determine the current trend
state (Up, Down, Neutral) based on pivot sequences.

GTI BGTI: RSI Suite (Standard • Stochastic • Smoothed)
A three-layer momentum and trend toolkit that combines Standard RSI, Stochastic RSI, and a Smoothed/“Macro” RSI to help you read intraday swings, trend transitions, and high-probability reversal/continuation spots.
All in one pane with intuitive coloring and optional divergence markers and alerts.
Why this works
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) visualizes fast momentum swings and timing.
* Standard RSI moves more gradually, helping confirm trend transitions that may span several Stochastic cycles.
* Smoothed RSI (Average → Macro) adds a second-pass filter and slope persistence to reveal the macro direction while suppressing noise.
Used together, Stochastic guides entries/exits around local highs/lows, while the RSI layers improve confidence when a small swing is likely part of a larger turn.
What you’ll see
* Standard RSI (yellow; pink above Bull line, aqua below Bear line).
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) with contextual colors:
* Greens when RSI is weak/oversold (bearish conditions → watch for bullish reversals/continuations).
* Reds when RSI is strong/overbought (bullish conditions → watch for bearish reversals/continuations).
* Smoothed (Macro) RSI with trend color:
* Red when macro is ascending (bullish),
* Aqua when macro is descending (bearish).
* Divergences (optional markers):
* Bearish: RSI Lower High + Price Higher High (red ⬇).
* Bullish: RSI Higher Low + Price Lower Low (green ⬆).
* No repaint: pivots confirm after the chosen right-bars window.

* Bullish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a higher low after price has been in a overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall downtrend
* Bullish Oversold
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly low level after price has a short but strong dip during an overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall uptrend
* Bullish Continuation
* Macro RSI is ascending with a strong slope or forming a higher low above the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a bottom but still painted red
* Bearish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a lower high after price has been in a overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall uptrend
* Bearish Overbought
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly high level after price has a short but strong jump during an overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall downtrend
* Bearish Continuation
* Macro RSI is descending with a strong slope or forming a lower high below the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a top but still painted green
* Divergences: Use as signals of exhaustion—best when aligned with Macro RSI color/slope and key levels (e.g., Bull/Bear lines, 50 midline).
*** IMPORTANT ***
* Stack confluence, don’t single-signal trade. Look for:
* 1) Macro RSI color & slope (red = ascending/bullish, aqua = descending/bearish)
* 2) Standard RSI location (above/below Bull/Bear lines or 50)
* 3) Stoch flip + direction
* 4) Price structure (HH/HL vs LH/LL)
* 5) Divergence type (regular vs hidden) at meaningful levels
* Trade with the macro
* Prioritize longs when Macro RSI is red or just flipped up
* Prioritize shorts when Macro RSI is aqua or just flipped down
* Counter-trend setups = smaller size and faster management.
* Location > signal
* The same crossover/divergence is higher quality near Bull (~60)/Bear(~40) or extremes than in the mid-range chop around 50.
* Early vs confirmed
* Use the early pivot heads-up for anticipation, but scale in only after the confirmed pivot (right-bars complete). If early signal fails to confirm, stand down.
* Define invalidation upfront
* For divergence entries, place stops beyond the pivot extreme (LL/HH). If Macro RSI flips against your trade or RSI breaks back through 50 with slope, exit or tighten.
* Multi-timeframe alignment
* Best results come when entry timeframe (e.g., 1H) aligns with higher-TF macro (e.g., 4H/D). If they disagree, treat it as mean-reversion only.
* Avoid common traps
* Skip: isolated Stochastic flips without RSI support, divergences without price HH/LL confirmation, and serial divergences when Macro RSI slope is strong against the idea.
* Parameter guidance
* Start with defaults; then tune: confirmBars 3–7, minSlope 0.05–0.15 RSI pts/bar, pivot left/right tighter for faster but noisier signals, wider for cleaner but fewer.
* Alerts = workflow, not auto-trades
* Use Macro Flip + Divergence alerts as a checklist trigger; enter only when your confluence rules are met and risk is defined.
Key inputs (tweak to your market/timeframe)
* RSI / Stochastic lengths and K/D smoothing.
* Bull / Bear Lines (default 61.1 / 43.6).
* Average RSI Method/Length (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA) + Macro Smooth Length.
* Trend confirmation: bars of persistence and minimum slope to reduce flip noise.
* Pivot look-back (left/right) for divergence confirmation strictness.
Alerts included
* Macro Flip Up / Down (Smoothed RSI regime change).
* RSI Bullish/Bearish Divergence (confirmed at pivot).
* Stochastic RSI continuation/divergence (optional).
Tips
* Level + Slope matter. High/low RSI level flags conditions; slope confirms impulse/continuation.
* Let Stochastic time the swing; let Macro RSI filter the trend.
* Tighten or loosen pivot windows to trade fewer/cleaner vs. more/faster signals.

Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC)The Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC) is a technical momentum indicator developed by Larry Williams that combines three different time periods to reduce the volatility and false signals common in single-period oscillators. By using a weighted average of three Stochastic-like calculations across short, medium, and long-term periods, the Ultimate Oscillator provides a more comprehensive view of market momentum while maintaining sensitivity to price changes.
The indicator addresses the common problem of oscillators being either too sensitive (generating many false signals) or too slow (missing opportunities). By incorporating multiple timeframes with decreasing weights for longer periods, ULTOSC attempts to capture both short-term momentum shifts and longer-term trend strength, making it particularly valuable for identifying divergences and potential reversal points.
## Core Concepts
* **Multi-timeframe analysis:** Combines three different periods (typically 7, 14, 28) to capture various momentum cycles
* **Weighted averaging:** Assigns higher weights to shorter periods for responsiveness while including longer periods for stability
* **Buying pressure focus:** Measures the relationship between closing price and the true range rather than just high-low range
* **Divergence detection:** Particularly effective at identifying momentum divergences that precede price reversals
* **Normalized scale:** Oscillates between 0 and 100, with clear overbought/oversold levels
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Fast Period | 7 | Short-term momentum calculation | Lower (5-6) for more sensitivity, higher (9-12) for smoother signals |
| Medium Period | 14 | Medium-term momentum calculation | Adjust based on typical swing duration in the market |
| Slow Period | 28 | Long-term momentum calculation | Higher values (35-42) for longer-term position trading |
| Fast Weight | 4.0 | Weight applied to fast period | Higher weight increases short-term sensitivity |
| Medium Weight | 2.0 | Weight applied to medium period | Adjust to balance medium-term influence |
| Slow Weight | 1.0 | Weight applied to slow period | Usually kept at 1.0 as the baseline weight |
**Pro Tip:** The classic 7/14/28 periods with 4/2/1 weights work well for most markets, but consider using 5/10/20 with adjusted weights for faster markets or 14/28/56 for longer-term analysis.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
The Ultimate Oscillator calculates three separate "buying pressure" ratios using different time periods, then combines them using weighted averaging. Buying pressure is defined as the close minus the true low, divided by the true range.
**Technical formula:**
```
BP = Close - Min(Low, Previous Close)
TR = Max(High, Previous Close) - Min(Low, Previous Close)
BP_Sum_Fast = Sum(BP, Fast Period)
TR_Sum_Fast = Sum(TR, Fast Period)
Raw_Fast = 100 × (BP_Sum_Fast / TR_Sum_Fast)
BP_Sum_Medium = Sum(BP, Medium Period)
TR_Sum_Medium = Sum(TR, Medium Period)
Raw_Medium = 100 × (BP_Sum_Medium / TR_Sum_Medium)
BP_Sum_Slow = Sum(BP, Slow Period)
TR_Sum_Slow = Sum(TR, Slow Period)
Raw_Slow = 100 × (BP_Sum_Slow / TR_Sum_Slow)
ULTOSC = 100 × / (Fast_Weight + Medium_Weight + Slow_Weight)
```
Where:
- BP = Buying Pressure
- TR = True Range
- Fast Period = 7, Medium Period = 14, Slow Period = 28 (defaults)
- Fast Weight = 4, Medium Weight = 2, Slow Weight = 1 (defaults)
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The implementation uses efficient circular buffers for all three period calculations, maintaining O(1) time complexity per bar. The algorithm properly handles true range calculations including gaps and ensures accurate buying pressure measurements across all timeframes.
## Interpretation Details
ULTOSC provides several analytical perspectives:
* **Overbought/Oversold conditions:** Values above 70 suggest overbought conditions, below 30 suggest oversold conditions
* **Momentum direction:** Rising ULTOSC indicates increasing buying pressure, falling indicates increasing selling pressure
* **Divergence analysis:** Divergences between ULTOSC and price often precede significant reversals
* **Trend confirmation:** ULTOSC direction can confirm or question the prevailing price trend
* **Signal quality:** Extreme readings (>80 or <20) indicate strong momentum that may be unsustainable
* **Multiple timeframe consensus:** When all three underlying periods agree, signals are typically more reliable
## Trading Applications
**Primary Uses:**
- **Divergence trading:** Identify when momentum diverges from price for reversal signals
- **Overbought/oversold identification:** Find potential entry/exit points at extreme levels
- **Trend confirmation:** Validate breakouts and trend continuations
- **Momentum analysis:** Assess the strength of current price movements
**Advanced Strategies:**
- **Multi-divergence confirmation:** Look for divergences across multiple timeframes
- **Momentum breakouts:** Trade when ULTOSC breaks above/below key levels with volume
- **Swing trading entries:** Use oversold/overbought levels for swing position entries
- **Trend strength assessment:** Evaluate trend quality using momentum consistency
## Signal Combinations
**Strong Bullish Signals:**
- ULTOSC rises from oversold territory (<30) with positive price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks above 50 after forming a base near 30
- All three underlying periods show increasing buying pressure
**Strong Bearish Signals:**
- ULTOSC falls from overbought territory (>70) with negative price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks below 50 after forming a top near 70
- All three underlying periods show decreasing buying pressure
**Divergence Signals:**
- **Bullish divergence:** Price makes lower lows while ULTOSC makes higher lows
- **Bearish divergence:** Price makes higher highs while ULTOSC makes lower highs
- **Hidden bullish divergence:** Price makes higher lows while ULTOSC makes lower lows (trend continuation)
- **Hidden bearish divergence:** Price makes lower highs while ULTOSC makes higher highs (trend continuation)
## Comparison with Related Oscillators
| Indicator | Periods | Focus | Best Use Case |
|-----------|---------|-------|---------------|
| **Ultimate Oscillator** | 3 periods | Buying pressure | Divergence detection |
| **Stochastic** | 1-2 periods | Price position | Overbought/oversold |
| **RSI** | 1 period | Price momentum | Momentum analysis |
| **Williams %R** | 1 period | Price position | Short-term signals |
## Advanced Configurations
**Fast Trading Setup:**
- Fast: 5, Medium: 10, Slow: 20
- Weights: 4/2/1, Thresholds: 75/25
**Standard Setup:**
- Fast: 7, Medium: 14, Slow: 28
- Weights: 4/2/1, Thresholds: 70/30
**Conservative Setup:**
- Fast: 14, Medium: 28, Slow: 56
- Weights: 3/2/1, Thresholds: 65/35
**Divergence Focused:**
- Fast: 7, Medium: 14, Slow: 28
- Weights: 2/2/2, Thresholds: 70/30
## Market-Specific Adjustments
**Volatile Markets:**
- Use longer periods (10/20/40) to reduce noise
- Consider higher threshold levels (75/25)
- Focus on extreme readings for signal quality
**Trending Markets:**
- Emphasize divergence analysis over absolute levels
- Look for momentum confirmation rather than reversal signals
- Use hidden divergences for trend continuation
**Range-Bound Markets:**
- Standard overbought/oversold levels work well
- Trade reversals from extreme levels
- Combine with support/resistance analysis
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Lagging component:** Contains inherent lag due to multiple moving average calculations
* **Complex calculation:** More computationally intensive than single-period oscillators
* **Parameter sensitivity:** Performance varies significantly with different period/weight combinations
* **Market dependency:** Most effective in trending markets with clear momentum patterns
* **False divergences:** Not all divergences lead to significant price reversals
* **Whipsaw potential:** Can generate conflicting signals in choppy markets
## Best Practices
**Effective Usage:**
- Focus on divergences rather than absolute overbought/oversold levels
- Combine with trend analysis for context
- Use multiple timeframe analysis for confirmation
- Pay attention to the speed of momentum changes
**Common Mistakes:**
- Over-relying on overbought/oversold levels in strong trends
- Ignoring the underlying trend direction
- Using inappropriate period settings for the market being analyzed
- Trading every divergence without additional confirmation
**Signal Enhancement:**
- Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
- Use price action context (support/resistance levels)
- Consider market volatility when setting thresholds
- Look for convergence across multiple momentum indicators
## Historical Context and Development
The Ultimate Oscillator was developed by Larry Williams and introduced in his 1985 article "The Ultimate Oscillator" in Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Williams designed it to address the limitations of single-period oscillators by:
- Reducing false signals through multi-timeframe analysis
- Maintaining sensitivity to short-term momentum changes
- Providing more reliable divergence signals
- Creating a more robust momentum measurement tool
The indicator has become a standard tool in technical analysis, particularly valued for its divergence detection capabilities and its balanced approach to momentum measurement.

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU
## Pros and Cons
### Advantages
Complete all-in-one solution - from signal to position sizing
Multiple timeframes tracked simultaneously
Visual clarity - easy to see what's happening
Cycle tracking catches opportunities others miss
Built-in risk management eliminates guesswork
Customizable filters for different trading styles
No repainting - what you see is locked in
Works across multiple markets (stocks, forex, crypto)
### Limitations
Intraday strategy only - doesn't work on daily charts
Requires active monitoring during first 1-2 hours of session
Not suitable for after-hours or extended sessions by default
Can produce many signals in choppy markets (use filters)
Dashboard can be overwhelming for complete beginners
Performance depends on market conditions (trends vs ranges)
Requires understanding of risk management concepts

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

Bollinger Band Width Oscillator %🧠 Bollinger Band Width Oscillator %
The Bollinger Band Width Oscillator % is a volatility-focused tool that measures the relative width of Bollinger Bands and transforms it into an oscillator format. It helps traders visualize volatility expansions and contractions directly in an indicator pane — a powerful way to anticipate breakout or consolidation phases.
🔍 How It Works
Band Width %: Calculates the percentage distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands relative to the basis (SMA).
Smoothed Output: The raw bandwidth is smoothed using a moving average for cleaner, more stable signals.
Dynamic Volatility Zones: The script automatically computes average, high, and low volatility thresholds — each dynamically adapting to market conditions.
User-Adjustable Multipliers: Control how sensitive your high/low zones are with the High Zone Multiplier and Low Zone Multiplier inputs.
⚙️ Key Features
📊 Oscillator Format – Easy-to-read visualization of volatility compression and expansion.
🔥 High/Low Volatility Detection – Automatic labeling and color-coded alerts for shifts in volatility.
🧩 Dynamic Thresholds – Zones adjust automatically with market activity for adaptive sensitivity.
🧠 Hysteresis Logic – Prevents rapid signal flipping, improving clarity and reliability.
🎨 Custom Visuals – Adjustable smoothing and background highlights for quick interpretation.
📈 Trading Applications
Identify Breakouts: Rising bandwidth often precedes price breakouts.
Spot Consolidations: Low bandwidth indicates tightening volatility and potential range trades.
Volatility Regime Analysis: Understand market rhythm and adapt strategies accordingly.
⚡ Inputs
Parameter Description
Band Length Period for Bollinger Band calculation
Band Multiplier Standard deviation multiplier for the bands
Source Price source (default: close)
Smoothing Period for smoothing the oscillator line
High Zone Multiplier Adjusts the high-volatility threshold

Highlight Volatility Zones Optional background color overlay
🧊 Usage Tip
Combine this indicator with momentum tools or price action analysis to confirm trade setups. Watch for transitions from low to high volatility zones — these often signal the beginning of major market moves.
PM Range Breaker [CHE] PM Range Breaker — Premarket bias with first-five range breaks, optional SWDEMA regime latch, and simple two-times-range targets
Summary
This indicator sets a once-per-day directional bias during New York premarket and then tracks a strict first-five-minutes range from the session open. After the first five complete, it marks clean breakouts and can project targets at two times the measured range. A second mode latches an EMA-based regime to inform the bias and optional background tinting. A compact panel reports live state, first-five levels, and rolling hit rates of both bias modes using a user-defined midday close for statistics.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday traders often get whipsawed by early noise or by fast flips in trend filters. This script commits to a bias at a single premarket minute and then waits for the market to present an objective structure: the first-five range. Breaks after that window are clearer and easier to manage. The alternative SWDEMA regime gives a slower, latched context for users who prefer a trend scaffold rather than a midpoint reference.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Typical open-range-breakout lines or a single moving-average filter without daily commitment.
Architecture differences:
Bias decision at a fixed New York time using either a midpoint lookback (“Classic”) or a two-EMA regime latch (“SWDEMA”).
Strict five-minute window from session open; breakout shapes print only after that window.
Single-shot breakout direction per session (debounce) and optional two-times-range targets.
On-chart panel with hit rates using a configurable midday close for statistics.
Practical effect: Cleaner visuals, fewer repeated signals, and a traceable daily decision that can be evaluated over time.
How it works (technical)
Time handling uses New York session times for premarket decision, open, first-five end, and a midday statistics checkpoint.
Classic bias: A midpoint is computed from the highest and lowest over a user period; at the premarket minute, the bias is set long when the close is above the midpoint, short otherwise.
SWDEMA bias: Two EMAs define a regime score that requires price and trend agreement; when both agree on a confirmed bar, the regime latches. At the premarket minute, the daily bias is set from the current regime.
The first-five range captures high and low from open until the end minute, then freezes. Breakouts are detected after that window using close-based cross logic.
The script draws range lines and optional targets at two times the frozen range. A session break direction latch prevents duplicate break markers.
Statistics compare daily open and a configurable midday close to record if the chosen bias aligned with the move.
Optional elements include EMA lines, midpoint line, latched-regime background, and regime switch markers.
Data aggregation for day logic and the first-five window is sampled on one-minute data with explicit lookahead off. On charts above one minute, values update intra-bar until the underlying minute closes.

Reading & Interpretation
Panel: Shows the active bias, first-five high and low, and a state that reads Building during the window, Ready once frozen, and Break arrows when a breakout occurs. Hit rates show the percentage of days where each bias mode aligned with the midday move.
Colors and shapes: Green background implies long bias; red implies short bias. Triangle markers denote the first valid breakout after the first-five window. Optional regime markers flag regime changes.
Lines: First-five high and low form the core structure. Optional targets mark a level at two times the frozen range from the breakout side.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Choose a bias mode. Wait for the first clean breakout after the first-five window in the direction of the bias. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows.
Exits and risk: Conservative users can trail behind the opposite side of the first-five range. Aggressive users can scale near the two-times-range target.
Multi-asset and multi-TF: Works well on intraday timeframes from one minute upward. For non-US sessions, adjust the time inputs to the instrument’s regular trading hours.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Bias and regime decisions use confirmed bars. Breakout signals evaluate on bar close at the chart timeframe. On higher timeframes, minute-based sources update within the live bar until the minute closes.
security and HTF: The script samples one-minute data. Lookahead is off. Values stabilize once the source minute closes.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is five thousand. Drawing objects and the panel update efficiently, with position extensions handled on the last bar.
Known limits: Midday statistics use the configured time, not the official daily close. Session logic assumes New York session timing. Targets are simple multiples of the first-five range and do not adapt to volatility beyond that structure.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with Classic bias, midpoint lookback at three hundred, and all visuals on.
Too many flips in context → switch to SWDEMA mode or increase EMA lengths.
Breakouts feel noisy → extend the first-five end by a minute or two, or wait for a retest by your own rules.
Too sluggish → reduce midpoint lookback or shorten EMA lengths.
Chart cluttered → hide EMA or midpoint lines and keep only range levels and breakout shapes.

Seasonality Heatmap [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Seasonality Heatmap analyzes years of historical data to reveal which months and weekdays have consistently produced gains or losses, displaying results through color-coded tables with statistical metrics like consistency scores (1-10 rating) and positive occurrence rates. By calculating average returns for each calendar month and day-of-week combination, it identifies recognizable seasonal patterns (such as which months or weekdays tend to rally versus decline) and synthesizes this into actionable buy low/sell high timing possibilities for strategic entries and exits. This helps traders and investors spot high-probability seasonal windows where assets have historically shown strength or weakness, enabling them to align positions with recurring bull and bear market patterns.
🟢 How It Works
1. Monthly Heatmap
How % Return is Calculated:
The indicator fetches monthly closing prices (or Open/High/Low based on user selection) and calculates the percentage change from the previous month:
(Current Month Price - Previous Month Price) / Previous Month Price × 100
Each cell in the heatmap represents one month's return in a specific year, creating a multi-year historical view
Colors indicate performance intensity: greener/brighter shades for higher positive returns, redder/brighter shades for larger negative returns
What Averages Mean:
The "Avg %" row displays the arithmetic mean of all historical returns for each calendar month (e.g., averaging all Januaries together, all Februaries together, etc.)
This metric identifies historically recurring patterns by showing which months have tended to rise or fall on average
Positive averages indicate months that have typically trended upward; negative averages indicate historically weaker months
Example: If April shows +18.56% average, it means April has averaged a 18.56% gain across all years analyzed
What Months Up % Mean:
Shows the percentage of historical occurrences where that month had a positive return (closed higher than the previous month)
Calculated as:
(Number of Months with Positive Returns / Total Months) × 100
Values above 50% indicate the month has been positive more often than negative; below 50% indicates more frequent negative months
Example: If October shows "64%", then 64% of all historical Octobers had positive returns
What Consistency Score Means:
A 1-10 rating that measures how predictable and stable a month's returns have been
Calculated using the coefficient of variation (standard deviation / mean) - lower variation = higher consistency
High scores (8-10, green): The month has shown relatively stable behavior with similar outcomes year-to-year
Medium scores (5-7, gray): Moderate consistency with some variability
Low scores (1-4, red): High variability with unpredictable behavior across different years
Example: A consistency score of 8/10 indicates the month has exhibited recognizable patterns with relatively low deviation
What Best Means:
Shows the highest percentage return achieved for that specific month, along with the year it occurred
Reveals the maximum observed upside and identifies outlier years with exceptional performance
Useful for understanding the range of possible outcomes beyond the average
Example: "Best: 2016: +131.90%" means the strongest January in the dataset was in 2016 with an 131.90% gain
What Worst Means:
Shows the most negative percentage return for that specific month, along with the year it occurred
Reveals maximum observed downside and helps understand the range of historical outcomes
Important for risk assessment even in months with positive averages
Example: "Worst: 2022: -26.86%" means the weakest January in the dataset was in 2022 with a 26.86% loss
2. Day-of-Week Heatmap
How % Return is Calculated:
Calculates the percentage change from the previous day's close to the current day's price (based on user's price source selection)
Returns are aggregated by day of the week within each calendar month (e.g., all Mondays in January, all Tuesdays in January, etc.)
Each cell shows the average performance for that specific day-month combination across all historical data
Formula:
(Current Day Price - Previous Day Close) / Previous Day Close × 100
What Averages Mean:
The "Avg %" row at the bottom aggregates all months together to show the overall average return for each weekday
Identifies broad weekly patterns across the entire dataset
Calculated by summing all daily returns for that weekday across all months and dividing by total observations
Example: If Monday shows +0.04%, Mondays have averaged a 0.04% change across all months in the dataset
What Days Up % Mean:
Shows the percentage of historical occurrences where that weekday had a positive return
Calculated as:
(Number of Positive Days / Total Days Observed) × 100
Values above 50% indicate the day has been positive more often than negative; below 50% indicates more frequent negative days
Example: If Fridays show "54%", then 54% of all Fridays in the dataset had positive returns
What Consistency Score Means:
A 1-10 rating measuring how stable that weekday's performance has been across different months
Based on the coefficient of variation of daily returns for that weekday across all 12 months
High scores (8-10, green): The weekday has shown relatively consistent behavior month-to-month
Medium scores (5-7, gray): Moderate consistency with some month-to-month variation
Low scores (1-4, red): High variability across months, with behavior differing significantly by calendar month
Example: A consistency score of 7/10 for Wednesdays means they have performed with moderate consistency throughout the year
What Best Means:
Shows which calendar month had the strongest average performance for that specific weekday
Identifies favorable day-month combinations based on historical data
Format shows the month abbreviation and the average return achieved
Example: "Best: Oct: +0.20%" means Mondays averaged +0.20% during October months in the dataset
What Worst Means:
Shows which calendar month had the weakest average performance for that specific weekday
Identifies historically challenging day-month combinations
Useful for understanding which month-weekday pairings have shown weaker performance
Example: "Worst: Sep: -0.35%" means Tuesdays averaged -0.35% during September months in the dataset
3. Optimal Timing Table/Summary Table
→ Best Month to BUY: Identifies the month with the lowest average return (most negative or least positive historically), representing periods where prices have historically been relatively lower
Based on the observation that buying during historically weaker months may position for subsequent recovery
Shows the month name, its average return, and color-coded performance
Example: If May shows -0.86% as "Best Month to BUY", it means May has historically averaged -0.86% in the analyzed period
→ Best Month to SELL: Identifies the month with the highest average return (most positive historically), representing periods where prices have historically been relatively higher
Based on historical strength patterns in that month
Example: If July shows +1.42% as "Best Month to SELL", it means July has historically averaged +1.42% gains
→ 2nd Best Month to BUY: The second-lowest performing month based on average returns
Provides an alternative timing option based on historical patterns
Offers flexibility for staged entries or when the primary month doesn't align with strategy
Example: Identifies the next-most favorable historical buying period
→ 2nd Best Month to SELL: The second-highest performing month based on average returns
Provides an alternative exit timing based on historical data
Useful for staged profit-taking or multiple exit opportunities
Identifies the secondary historical strength period
Note: The same logic applies to "Best Day to BUY/SELL" and "2nd Best Day to BUY/SELL" rows, which identify weekdays based on average daily performance across all months. Days with lowest averages are marked as buying opportunities (historically weaker days), while days with highest averages are marked for selling (historically stronger days).
🟢 Examples
Example 1: NVIDIA NASDAQ:NVDA - Strong May Pattern with High Consistency
Analyzing NVIDIA from 2015 onwards, the Monthly Heatmap reveals May averaging +15.84% with 82% of months being positive and a consistency score of 8/10 (green). December shows -1.69% average with only 40% of months positive and a low 1/10 consistency score (red). The Optimal Timing table identifies December as "Best Month to BUY" and May as "Best Month to SELL." A trader recognizes this high-probability May strength pattern and considers entering positions in late December when prices have historically been weaker, then taking profits in May when the seasonal tailwind typically peaks. The high consistency score in May (8/10) provides additional confidence that this pattern has been relatively stable year-over-year.
Example 2: Crypto Market Cap CRYPTOCAP:TOTALES - October Rally Pattern
An investor examining total crypto market capitalization notices September averaging -2.42% with 45% of months positive and 5/10 consistency, while October shows a dramatic shift with +16.69% average, 90% of months positive, and an exceptional 9/10 consistency score (blue). The Day-of-Week heatmap reveals Mondays averaging +0.40% with 54% positive days and 9/10 consistency (blue), while Thursdays show only +0.08% with 1/10 consistency (yellow). The investor uses this multi-layered analysis to develop a strategy: enter crypto positions on Thursdays during late September (combining the historically weak month with the less consistent weekday), then hold through October's historically strong period, considering exits on Mondays when intraweek strength has been most consistent.
Example 3: Solana BINANCE:SOLUSDT - Extreme January Seasonality
A cryptocurrency trader analyzing Solana observes an extraordinary January pattern: +59.57% average return with 60% of months positive and 8/10 consistency (teal), while May shows -9.75% average with only 33% of months positive and 6/10 consistency. August also displays strength at +59.50% average with 7/10 consistency. The Optimal Timing table confirms May as "Best Month to BUY" and January as "Best Month to SELL." The Day-of-Week data shows Sundays averaging +0.77% with 8/10 consistency (teal). The trader develops a seasonal rotation strategy: accumulate SOL positions during May weakness, hold through the historically strong January period (which has shown this extreme pattern with reasonable consistency), and specifically target Sunday exits when the weekday data shows the most recognizable strength pattern.
Opening Range IndicatorComplete Trading Guide: Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What Are Opening Ranges?
Opening ranges capture the high and low prices during the first few minutes of market open. These levels often act as key support and resistance throughout the trading day because:
Heavy volume occurs at market open as overnight orders execute
Institutional activity is concentrated during opening minutes
Price discovery happens as market participants react to overnight news
Psychological levels are established that traders watch all day
Understanding the Three Timeframes
OR5 (5-Minute Range: 9:30-9:35 AM)
Most sensitive - captures immediate market reaction
Quick signals but higher false breakout rate
Best for scalping and momentum trading
Use for early entry when conviction is high
OR15 (15-Minute Range: 9:30-9:45 AM)
Balanced approach - most popular among day traders
Moderate sensitivity with better reliability
Good for swing trades lasting several hours
Primary timeframe for most strategies
OR30 (30-Minute Range: 9:30-10:00 AM)
Most reliable but slower signals
Lower false breakout rate
Best for position trades and trend following
Use when looking for major moves
Core Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Basic Breakout
Setup:
Wait for price to break above OR15 high or below OR15 low
Enter on the breakout candle close
Stop loss: Opposite side of the range
Target: 2-3x the range size
Example:
OR15 range: $100.00 - $102.00 (Range = $2.00)
Long entry: Break above $102.00
Stop loss: $99.50 (below OR15 low)
Target: $104.00+ (2x range size)
Strategy 2: Multiple Confirmation
Setup:
Wait for OR5 break first (early signal)
Confirm with OR15 break in same direction
Enter on OR15 confirmation
Stop: Below OR30 if available, or OR15 opposite level
Why it works:
Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals and increases probability of sustained moves.
Strategy 3: Failed Breakout Reversal
Setup:
Price breaks OR15 level but fails to hold
Wait for re-entry into the range
Enter reversal trade toward opposite OR level
Stop: Recent breakout high/low
Target: Opposite side of range + extension
Key insight: Failed breakouts often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
Range Quality Assessment
High-Quality Ranges (Trade these):
Range size: 0.5% - 2% of stock price
Clean boundaries (not choppy)
Volume spike during range formation
Clear rejection at range levels
Low-Quality Ranges (Avoid these):
Very narrow ranges (<0.3% of stock price)
Extremely wide ranges (>3% of stock price)
Choppy, overlapping candles
Low volume during formation
Volume Confirmation
For Breakouts:
Look for volume spike (2x+ average) on breakout
Declining volume often signals false breakout
Rising volume during range formation shows interest
Market Context Filters
Best Conditions:
Trending market days (SPY/QQQ with clear direction)
Earnings reactions or news-driven moves
High-volume stocks with good liquidity
Volatility above average (VIX considerations)
Avoid Trading When:
Extremely low volume days
Major economic announcements pending
Holidays or half-days
Choppy, sideways market conditions
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Conservative: Risk 0.5% of account per trade
Moderate: Risk 1% of account per trade
Aggressive: Risk 2% maximum per trade
Stop Loss Placement
Inside the range: Quick exit but higher stop-out rate
Outside opposite level: More room but larger risk
ATR-based: 1.5-2x Average True Range below entry
Profit Taking
Target 1: 1x range size (take 50% off)
Target 2: 2x range size (take 25% off)
Runner: Trail remaining 25% with moving stops
Specific Entry Techniques
Breakout Entry Methods
Method 1: Immediate Entry
Enter as soon as price closes above/below range
Fastest entry but highest false signal rate
Best for strong momentum situations
Method 2: Pullback Entry
Wait for breakout, then pullback to range level
Enter when price bounces off former resistance/support
Better risk/reward but may miss some moves
Method 3: Volume Confirmation
Wait for breakout + volume spike
Enter after volume confirmation candle
Reduces false signals significantly
Multiple Timeframe Entries
Aggressive: OR5 break → immediate entry
Conservative: OR5 + OR15 + OR30 all align → enter
Balanced: OR15 break with OR30 support → enter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Trading Poor-Quality Ranges
❌ Don't trade ranges that are too narrow or too wide
✅ Focus on clean, well-defined ranges with good volume
2. Ignoring Volume
❌ Don't chase breakouts without volume confirmation
✅ Always check for volume spike on breakouts
3. Over-Trading
❌ Don't force trades when ranges are unclear
✅ Wait for high-probability setups only
4. Poor Risk Management
❌ Don't risk more than planned or use tight stops in volatile conditions
✅ Stick to predetermined risk levels
5. Fighting the Trend
❌ Don't fade breakouts in strongly trending markets
✅ Align trades with overall market direction

The opening range strategy is powerful because it captures natural market behavior, but like all strategies, it requires practice, discipline, and proper risk management to be profitable long-term.
Session Levels [odnac]This indicator plots the high and low levels of the three main trading sessions—Asia, Europe, and New York—along with the previous day’s high, low, and open. Each session’s time range can be customized using a UTC offset, and the indicator automatically tracks session highs and lows as price develops.
Functions:
Plots session highs and lows for Asia, Europe, and New York.
Shows previous day’s high, low, and open as reference levels.
Session times are fully configurable with hour and minute precision, including UTC offset adjustment.
Each session level is marked with both a line and a label for clarity.
Color customization for each session and previous day levels.
Designed for intraday timeframes (1–60 minutes).
Filter Condition:
When the filter option is enabled, the indicator adjusts how levels are drawn:
A session high above the current close is displayed as a solid line with a visible label.
Once price closes above that high, the line becomes dotted and dimmed, and the label also becomes less emphasized.
Similarly, a session low below the current close is displayed as a solid line and label.
If price closes below that low, the line switches to dotted and dimmed, with the label adjusted accordingly.
This behavior highlights only the most relevant levels for the current market position while still keeping breached levels visible in a subdued style, making it easier to spot active breakout or liquidity zones.
4-Hour Range HighlighterThe 4-Hour Range Highlighter is a powerful visual analysis tool designed for traders operating on lower timeframes (like 5m, 15m, or 1H). It overlays the critical price range of the 4-hour (4H) candlestick onto your chart, providing immediate context from a higher timeframe. This helps you align your intraday trades with the dominant higher-timeframe structure, identifying key support and resistance zones, breakouts, and market volatility at a glance.
Key Features:
Visual Range Overlay: Draws a semi-transparent colored background spanning the entire High and Low of each 4-hour period.
Trend-Based Coloring: Automatically colors the range based on the 4H candle's direction:
Green: Bullish 4H candle (Close > Open)
Red: Bearish 4H candle (Close < Open)
Blue: Neutral 4H candle (Close = Open)
Customizable High/Low Lines: Optional, subtle lines plot the exact high and low of the 4H bar, acting as dynamic support/resistance levels.
Fully Customizable: Easily change colors and toggle visual elements on/off in the settings to match your chart's theme.
How to Use It:
Identify Key Levels: The top and bottom of the shaded area represent significant intraday support and resistance. Watch for price reactions at these levels.
Trade in Context: Use the trend color to gauge sentiment. For example, look for buy opportunities near the low of a bullish (green) 4H range.
Spot Breakouts: A strong candle closing above the high or below the low of the current 4H range can signal a continuation or the start of a new strong move.
Gauge Volatility: A large shaded area indicates a high-volatility 4H period. A small area suggests consolidation or low volatility.
Settings:
Visual Settings: Toggle the background and choose colors for Bullish, Bearish, and Neutral ranges.
Line Settings: Toggle the high/low lines and customize their colors.
Note: This is a visual aid, not a standalone trading system. It provides context but does not generate buy/sell signals. Always use it in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management.
Perfect for Day Traders, Swing Traders, and anyone who needs higher-timeframe context on their chart!
How to Use / Instructions:
After adding the script to your chart, open the settings menu (click on the indicator's name and then the gear icon).
In the "Inputs" tab, you will find two groups: "Visual Settings" and "Line Settings".
In Visual Settings, you can:
Toggle Show 4H Range Background on/off.
Change the Bullish Color, Bearish Color, and Neutral Color for the transparent background.
In Line Settings, you can:
Toggle Show High/Low Lines on/off.
Change the line colors for each trend type.
Adjust the colors to your preference. The default settings use transparency for a clean look that doesn't clutter the chart.
Ai Golden Support and Resistance Adaptive Support & Resistance (ADR-scaled ABCD + Breakout/Retest Zones)
What it does
This indicator detects actionable support/resistance zones from swing structure and breakout events, then keeps each zone active until it’s invalidated by price. It adapts zone sensitivity using Average Daily Range (ADR) so the same rules scale across symbols and vol regimes.
Core Logic (high level)
Swing & ABCD pattern seed
Detects alternating pivots (high–low–high–low or low–high–low–high) using a user-selected lookback.
Validates basic AB–BC–CD proportions: BC must retrace a portion of AB; CD must extend BC within a set range.
From a valid sequence, sets a candidate level (top for bearish, bottom for bullish).
Breakout confirmation
A level becomes confirmed when price closes beyond it (crossover/crossunder).
On confirmation, the script draws a dotted reference line and records how many bars elapsed from the seed pivot to breakout. That count defines the lookback window used for local extremes.
Zone construction
Supply (bearish): builds a box around the most recent local range near the bearish seed;
Demand (bullish): builds a box around the most recent local range near the bullish seed.
Each zone’s height is derived from nearby extremes and the seed swing, so boxes reflect local structure rather than fixed pip widths.
Volatility normalization (ADR%)
ADR is computed from daily candles.
The Risk Profile input (“High/Medium/Low”) scales required move sizes using ADR%, and adjusts pivot sensitivity (fewer/more bars).
Higher risk → more sensitive (smaller ADR %, tighter pivot lookback).
Lower risk → stricter filters (larger ADR %, wider pivot lookback).
Explosive-move filter (streak logic)
Searches the seeded lookback for consecutive same-color candles (config via the risk profile).
Requires the cumulative % move of that streak to exceed an ADR-scaled threshold.
When found, the zone is tagged as originating from an “explosive” move (potentially higher reaction probability).
Zone persistence & invalidation
Zones persist and auto-extend to the right until invalidated.
Invalidation occurs when price closes through a rule-based threshold derived from the seed structure (stored per zone).
Once invalidated, the zone is marked inactive and stops updating.
Inputs & Controls
Risk Profile: High / Medium / Low (sets pivot lookback, streak length, and ADR% thresholds).
Labels & Visuals: Toggle labels and level lines; set line width.
Colors/Boxes: Supply (red), Demand (green); dotted breakout references.
No broker/session settings are required; the script adapts per symbol via ADR.
On-Chart Elements
Dotted breakout lines at confirmed levels (with measured bars-to-breakout).
Supply/Demand boxes that extend until invalidation.
Optional labels for clarity; minimal clutter by default.
How to Use
Context: Use higher-TF context for bias; apply zones on your trading TF.
Confluence: Combine zones with your own triggers (structure breaks, rejection wicks, momentum shifts).
Invalidation: If price closes beyond a zone’s invalidation threshold, treat that zone as inactive.
Sensitivity: If too many zones appear, switch to Medium/Low Risk (stricter ADR% & pivots); if too few, use High Risk.
Notes & Limitations
Logic is rule-based; there is no machine learning.
Daily ADR is computed from D timeframe, so intraday charts inherit daily volatility context.
Results vary by symbol and timeframe; validate settings per market.
This is an indicator (no orders or P/L).
Session Seed Range (LON / FRA / NY / CME / ASIA + 3 Custom) — v6Session Seed Range → Lines (LON / FRA / NY / CME / ASIA + 3 Custom)
What it does
This tool draws two horizontal levels—the High and Low of a short seed window at each market open (e.g., London 09:00–09:05)—and extends them to the session close (e.g., 17:30). An optional Mid line (average of seed High/Low) can be displayed as well.
Included sessions
• London, Frankfurt, New York, CME, Asia
• Plus 3 fully custom sessions (name, seed window, session end)
Key features
• Seed window → extended lines: Capture the initial opening move and project it across the trading session.
• Timezone dropdown: Choose from common IANA timezones (incl. Europe/Istanbul)—no manual offset math.
• Label language: DE / EN / TR (or Off) for price labels at the right edge.
• Show/Hide Mid line per your preference.
• 3 custom sessions: Add your own schedules with custom names.
• Per-session styling: Colors and widths for High/Low/Mid.
• Lightweight: Works on any timeframe.
________________________________________
Quick start
1. Pick your Timezone in the Inputs.
2. Enable a session (e.g., London) and set its Seed (HHMM–HHMM) and Session End (HHMM).
3. Optionally turn on Show mid line and Labels (DE/EN/TR).
4. Repeat for other sessions or use the Custom A/B/C blocks.
Tip: The seed window must be visible on the chart’s timeframe so the High/Low can be collected. If you don’t see lines, zoom in or use a lower timeframe.
