Overnight High/LowThe script identifies the Overnight High (the highest price) and Overnight Low (the lowest price) for a trading instrument during a specified overnight session. It then plots these levels on the chart for reference in subsequent trading sessions.
Key Features:
Time Settings:
The script defines the start (startHour) and end (endHour + endMinute) times for the overnight session.
The session spans across two calendar days, such as 5:00 PM (17:00) to 9:30 AM (09:30).
Tracking High and Low:
During the overnight session, the script dynamically tracks:
Overnight High: The highest price reached during the session.
Overnight Low: The lowest price reached during the session.
Reset Mechanism:
After the overnight session ends (at the specified end time), the script resets the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables, preparing for the next session.
Visual Representation:
The script uses horizontal dotted lines to plot:
A green line for the Overnight High.
A red line for the Overnight Low.
These lines extend to the right of the chart, providing visual reference points for traders.
How It Works:
Session Detection:
The script checks whether the current time falls within the overnight session:
If the hour is greater than or equal to the start hour (e.g., 17:00).
Or if the hour is less than or equal to the end hour (e.g., 09:30), considering the next day.
The end minute (e.g., 30 minutes past the hour) is also considered for precision.
High and Low Calculation:
During the overnight session:
If the overnightHigh is not yet defined, it initializes with the current candle's high.
If already defined, it updates by comparing the current candle's high to the existing overnightHigh using the math.max function.
Similarly, overnightLow is initialized or updated using the math.min function.
Post-Session Reset:
After the session ends, the script clears the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables by setting them to na (not available).
Line Drawing:
The script draws horizontal dotted lines for the Overnight High and Low during and after the session.
The lines extend indefinitely to the right of the chart.
Benefits:
Visual Aid: Helps traders quickly identify overnight support and resistance levels, which are critical for intraday trading.
Automation: Removes the need for manually plotting these levels each day.
Customizable: Time settings can be adjusted to match different markets or trading strategies.
This script is ideal for traders who use the overnight range as part of their analysis for breakouts, reversals, or trend continuation strategies.

BuySell%_ImtiazH_v2BuySell%_ImtiazH
This indicator includes two powerful volume metrics to complement your trading analysis:
30-Day Avg Vol (Blue Line): Tracks the average volume over the past 30 days, providing a baseline for typical trading activity.
Breakout Vol (White Line): Highlights the volume threshold needed for a potential breakout, calculated as a user-defined percentage above the 30-day average volume (default: 40%).
In addition to these enhancements, the indicator breaks down total trading volume into buying and selling components and calculates the percentage of buy volume for each bar.
🟥 Red Bars: Represent total volume.
🟩 Teal Bars: Show the buying volume within each candle.
🟨 Buy %: Displays the percentage of buy volume dynamically in the indicator panel, highlighted in yellow for quick visibility.
Use this tool to easily spot accumulation (buying pressure) or distribution (selling pressure) trends, customize breakout thresholds, and identify key breakout opportunities. Simple, clear, and effective for volume-based analysis!
How Are Buy Volume and Sell Volume Calculated?
This indicator uses a proportional approach to estimate buy and sell volumes based on price action:
Buy Volume: The portion of total volume where the price is moving upward, representing trades executed at the ask price.
Formula:
Buy Volume = (close - low) / (high - low) * volume
Sell Volume: The portion of total volume where the price is moving downward, representing trades executed at the bid price.
Formula:
Sell Volume = (high - close) / (high - low) * volume
If the high and low prices are the same (flat bar), both buy and sell volumes are set to 0.
Why This Matters
This calculation assumes the close price’s position within the high-to-low range reflects the balance of buying and selling activity:
Close near the high: Most volume is buy volume.
Close near the low: Most volume is sell volume.
Close in the middle: Volume is split between buying and selling.
By breaking down volume in this way, the indicator helps traders identify key trends like accumulation (buying pressure) and distribution (selling pressure), making it a powerful tool for volume-based analysis.
UVR ChannelsUVR CHANNELS: A VOLATILITY-BASED TREND ANALYSIS TOOL
PURPOSE
UVR Channels are designed to dynamically measure market volatility and identify key price levels for potential trend reversals. The channels are calculated using a unique volatility formula(UVR) combined with an EMA as the central reference point. This approach provides traders with a tool for evaluating trends, reversals, and market conditions such as breakouts or consolidations.
CALCULATION MECHANISM
1. Ultimate Volatility Rate (UVR) Calculation:
The UVR is a custom measure of volatility that highlights significant price movements by comparing the extremes of current and previous candles.
Volatility Components:
Two values are calculated to represent potential price fluctuations:
The absolute difference between the current candle's high and the previous candle's low:
Volatility Component 1=∣high−low ∣
The absolute difference between the previous candle's high and the current candle's low:
Volatility Component 2=∣high −low∣
Volatility Ratio:
The larger of the two components is selected as the Volatility Ratio, ensuring the UVR captures the most significant movement:
Volatility Ratio=max(Volatility Component 1,Volatility Component 2)
Smoothing with SMMA:
To stabilize the volatility calculation, the Volatility Ratio is smoothed using a Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA) over a user-defined period (e.g., 14 candles):
UVR= (UVR(Previous) × (Period−1))+Volatility Ratio)/Period
2. Band Construction:
The UVR is integrated into the band calculations by using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the central line:
Central Line (EMA):
The EMA is calculated based on closing prices over a user-defined period (e.g., 20 candles).
Upper Band:
The upper band represents a dynamic resistance level, calculated as:
Upper Band=EMA+(UVR × Multiplier)
Lower Band:
The lower band serves as a dynamic support level, calculated as:
Lower Band=EMA−(UVR × Multiplier)
3. Role of the Multiplier:
The Multiplier adjusts the width of the bands based on trader preferences:
Higher Multiplier: Wider bands to capture larger price swings.
Lower Multiplier: Narrower bands for tighter market analysis.
FEATURES AND USAGE
Dynamic Volatility Analysis:
The UVR Channels expand and contract based on real-time market volatility, offering a dynamic framework for identifying potential price trends.
Expanding Bands: High market volatility.
Contracting Bands: Low volatility or consolidation.
Trend Identification:
Price consistently near the upper band indicates a strong bullish trend.
Price near the lower band signals a bearish trend.
Trend Reversal Signals:
Price reaching the upper band may signal overbought conditions, while price touching the lower band may signal oversold conditions.
Breakout Potential:
Narrow bands often precede significant price breakouts, making UVR Channels a useful tool for spotting early breakout conditions.
DIFFERENCES FROM BOLLINGER BANDS
Unlike Bollinger Bands, which rely on standard deviation to measure volatility, the UVR Channels use a custom volatility formula based on price extremes (highs and lows). This approach adapts to market behaviour in a unique way, providing traders with an alternative and accurate view of volatility and trends.
INPUT PARAMETERS
Volatility Period:
Determines the number of periods used to smooth the volatility ratio. A higher value results in smoother bands but may lag behind sudden market changes.
EMA Period:
Controls the calculation of the central reference line.
Multiplier:
Adjusts the width of the bands. Increasing the multiplier widens the bands, capturing larger price movements, while decreasing it narrows the bands for tighter analysis.
VISUALIZATION
Purple Line: The EMA (central line).
Red Line: Upper band (dynamic resistance).
Green Line: Lower band (dynamic support).
Shaded Area: Fills the space between the upper and lower bands, visually highlighting the channel.

Support, Resistance & OHLCUPDATE:
This Pine Script code is an indicator for TradingView that displays support, resistance, and OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) data across various timeframes. The code is divided into two main sections: Support/Resistance and OHLC Data.
Support and Resistance:
Logic for Support and Resistance: The indicator draws support and resistance lines after 4 consecutive candles without forming new lows (for support) or new highs (for resistance). This means that a support or resistance level is created after 4 candles that don't set new extremes.
Support: When the last 3 candles have lower lows, and the current candle forms a higher low, the support level is set.
Resistance: When the last 3 candles have higher highs, and the current candle forms a lower high, the resistance level is set.
Drawing the Lines and Labels:
Once the support or resistance level is determined, a horizontal line is drawn that extends left and right from the candle.
Additionally, labels for support and resistance are shown if the corresponding settings are enabled. These labels appear at a distance from the line and display the current support or resistance value.
Deleting the Lines:
If the price falls below the support level or rises above the resistance level, the respective line is deleted. This means that the market has breached the support or resistance level, making the line invalid.
When the support or resistance line is breached, alerts can be triggered to notify the trader.
Alerts:
The script provides options to set alerts when a support or resistance line is created or broken. These alerts notify the trader when the price reaches an important level.
OHLC Data:
The code allows the display of the high, low, close, and open values of the last candles across different timeframes (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly).
Settings:
Options are available to show these values for the respective timeframes.
The user can also adjust the size of the labels.
Visualization: The indicator plots lines for the high, low, and close values for each timeframe and places labels showing the respective values.
In summary, the indicator provides a detailed view of support and resistance levels, which are based on a 4-candle logic, and displays important OHLC values across different timeframes. The indicator also allows setting alerts for specific price levels, so traders can quickly react to market movements.
Key Prices & LevelsThis indicator is designed to visualize key price levels & areas for NY trading sessions based on the price action from previous day, pre-market activity and key areas from NY session itself. The purpose is to unify all key levels into a single indicator, while allowing a user to control which levels they want to visualize and how.
The indicator identifies the following:
Asia Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
London Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
Previous Day PM Session High/Lows
Current Day Lunch Session High/Lows, starts appearing after 12pm EST once the lunch session starts
New York Open (8:30am EST) price
9:53 Open (root candle) price
New York Midnight (12:00am EST) price
Previous Day High/Lows
First 1m FVG after NY Session Start (after 9:30am), with the ability to configure minimum FVG size.
Opening Range Gap, showing regular market hours close price (previous day 16:15pm EST close), new session open price (9:30am EST open) and optionally the mid-point between the two
Asia Range 50% along with 2, 2.5, 4 and 4.5 deviations of the Asia range in both directions
Configurability:
Each price level can be turned off
Styles in terms of line type, color
Ability to turn on/off labels for price levels and highlighting of prices on price scale
Ability to control label text for price levels
How is it different:
Identifies novel concepts such as 9:53 open, root candle that can be used as a bounce/resistance area during AM/PM sessions as well as confirmation of direction once closed over/under to indicate price's willingness to continue moving in the same direction.
It also shows 1st 1m FVG after New York Session open, that can be used to determine direction of the price action depending on PA's reaction to that area. While both 9:53 and 1m FVG are 1m based markers, these levels are visualized by the indicator on all timeframes from 15s to 1h.
Additionally the indicator is able to both highlight key prices in the price scale pane as well as combine labels to minimize clutter when multiple levels have the same price.
Lastly for in-session ranges such as Lunch High/Low the indicator updates the range in real-time as opposed to waiting for the lunch session to be over.
5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars 1.0The 5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars indicator is designed to identify and highlight low-range pivot bars on 5-minute charts, specifically tailored for Yen-based pairs (e.g., GBPJPY, USDJPY). By focusing on precise pip thresholds, this tool helps traders detect potential pivot points within specific trading sessions, while avoiding inside bars and other noise often seen in low-volatility conditions. This can be particularly useful for trend traders and those looking to refine their entry points based on intraday reversals.
Key Features:
- Customized Pip Thresholds for Yen Pairs:
The indicator is pre-configured for Yen pairs, where 1 pip is typically represented by 0.01. It applies these thresholds:
- Limited Range: 4 pips or less between open and close prices.
- High/Low Directionality: At least 3 pips from the close/open to the bar's high or low.
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 pips or less between open and close.
- Inside Bar Tolerance: A tolerance of 3 pips for inside bars, helping reduce false signals from bars contained within the previous bar's range.
- Session-Specific Alerts:
- The indicator allows you to enable alerts for the European Session (6:00-12:00), American Session (12:00-17:00), and London Close (17:00-20:00). You can adjust these times based on your own trading hours or timezone preferences via a time-shift setting.
- Receive real-time alerts when a valid bullish or bearish pivot bar is identified within the chosen sessions, allowing you to respond to potential trade opportunities immediately.
- Time Shift Customization:
- Adjust the "Time Shift" parameter to account for different time zones, ensuring accurate session alignment regardless of your local time.
How It Works:
1. Pivot Bar Identification:
The indicator scans for bars where the difference between the open and close is within the "Limited Range" threshold, and both open and close prices are close to either the high or the low of the bar.
2. Directional Filtering:
It requires the bar to show strong directional bias by enforcing an additional distance between the open/close levels and the opposite end of the bar (high/low). Only bars with this directional structure are considered for highlighting.
3. Exclusion of Inside Bars:
Bars that are completely contained within the range of the previous bar are excluded (inside bars), as are consecutive inside bars. This filtering is essential to avoid marking bars that typically indicate consolidation rather than potential pivot points.
4. Session Alerts:
When a valid pivot bar appears within the selected sessions, an alert is triggered, notifying the trader of a potential trading signal. Bullish and bearish signals are differentiated based on whether the close is near the high or low.
How to Use:
- Trend Reversals: Use this indicator to spot potential trend reversals or pullbacks on a 5-minute chart, especially within key trading sessions.
- Entry and Exit Points: Highlighted bars can serve as potential entry points for traders looking to capitalize on short-term directional changes or continuation patterns.
- Combine with Other Indicators: Consider pairing this tool with momentum indicators or trendlines to confirm the signals, providing a comprehensive analysis framework.
Default Parameters:
- Limited Range: 4 Pips
- High/Low Directionality: 3 Pips
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 Pips
- Inside Bar Tolerance: 3 Pips
- Session Alerts: Enabled for European, American, and London Close sessions
- Time Shift: Default 6 (adjustable to align with different time zones)
This indicator is specifically optimized for Yen pairs on 5-minute charts due to its pip calculation.
Formation Defined Moving Support and ResistanceThe script was originally coded in 2018 with Pine Script version 3, and it was in protected code status. It has been updated and optimised for Pine Script v5 and made completely open source.
The Formation Defined Moving Support and Resistance indicator is a sophisticated tool for identifying dynamic support and resistance levels based on specific price formations and level interactions. This indicator goes beyond traditional static support and resistance by updating levels based on predefined formation patterns and market behaviour, providing traders with a more responsive view of potential support and resistance zones.
Features:
The indicator detects essential price levels:
Lower Low (LL)
Higher Low (HL)
Higher High (HH)
Lower High (LH)
Equal Lower Low (ELL)
Equal Higher Low (EHL)
Equal Higher High (EHH)
Equal Lower High (ELH)
By identifying these key points, the script builds a foundation for tracking and responding to changes in price structure.
Pre-defined Formations and Comparisons:
The indicator calculates and recognises nine different pre-defined formations, such as bullish and bearish formations, based on the sequence of price levels.
These formations are compared against previous levels and formations, allowing for a sophisticated understanding of recent market movements and momentum shifts.
This formation-based approach provides insights into whether the price is likely to maintain, break, or reverse key levels.
Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels:
The indicator offers an option to toggle Moving Support and Resistance Levels.
When enabled, the support and resistance levels dynamically adjust:
Upon a change in the detected formation.
When the bar’s closing price breaks the last defined support or resistance level.
This feature ensures that the support and resistance levels adapt quickly to market changes, giving a more accurate and responsive perspective.
Customisable Price Source:
Users can choose the price source for level detection, selecting between close or high/low prices.
This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt to different trading styles, whether the focus is on closing prices for more conservative levels or on highs and lows for more sensitive level tracking.
This indicator can benefit traders relying on dynamic support and resistance rather than fixed, historical levels. It adapts to recent price actions and market formations, making it useful for identifying entry and exit points, trend continuation or reversal, and setting trailing stops based on updated support and resistance levels.

Higher Time Frame Strat [QuantVue]The Higher Time Frame Strat Indicator is a tool that helps traders visualize and analyze price action from a higher timeframe (HTF) on their current chart. It applies the Strat method, a trading strategy focused on identifying key price action setups by observing how current price bars relate to previous ones. This helps in understanding the market's structure and determining potential trading opportunities based on higher timeframe data.
Key Concepts:
Strat Basics:
Type 1 Bar (Inside Bar): The current bar's high is lower than the previous bar's high, and its low is higher than the previous bar's low. This signifies a consolidation, or indecision, as the price is contained within the previous bar's range.
Type 2 Bar (Directional Bar): The current bar either breaks above the previous bar's high (bullish) or stays above the previous bar's low (bearish), indicating a continuation in the price direction.
Type 3 Bar (Outside Bar): The current bar breaks both above the previous bar's high and below the previous bar's low, showing volatility and a potential reversal.
Higher Timeframe Visualization:
The indicator uses a user-defined higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) and plots the last three higher timeframe candles on the current chart.
Strat Classification:
When a new higher timeframe candle forms, the indicator draws a semi-transparent box around the candle's range (high to low), along with the Strat type label. This provides a visual cue to the trader about the structure of the newly formed candle and how it fits into the overall market movement.
The script classifies each higher timeframe candle as one of the Strat types (1, 2, or 3). Based on the relationship between the current candle and the previous candle's high/low, it assigns a label ("1", "2", or "3"), helping traders quickly identify the price action setup on the higher timeframe.
How to Use the Indicator:
Trend Continuation: Look for Type 2 bars, which indicate a continuation in the current trend. For example, a Type 2 up suggests the price is breaking above the previous high, potentially signaling further upward movement.
Reversals: Type 3 bars show increased volatility, where the price breaks both above and below the previous bar's range. This could indicate a reversal, so be prepared for a potential change in direction.
Consolidation: Inside bars (Type 1) signify a tightening range and can signal the beginning of a breakout once the price moves outside of the previous bar's high or low.
By combining these price action concepts with the visualization of higher timeframe data, traders can potentially get earlier entry and exits as a higher timeframe set up forms.
Pure Price Action ICT Tools [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action ICT Tools indicator is designed for pure price action analysis, automatically identifying real-time market structures, liquidity levels, order & breaker blocks, and liquidity voids.
Its unique feature lies in its exclusive reliance on price patterns, without being constrained by any user-defined inputs, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 MARKET STRUCTURES
A Market Structure Shift, also known as a Change of Character (CHoCH), is a pivotal event in price action analysis indicating a potential change in market sentiment or direction. An MSS occurs when the price reverses from an established trend, signaling that the prevailing trend may be losing momentum and a reversal might be underway. This shift is often identified by key technical patterns, such as a higher low in a downtrend or a lower high in an uptrend, which indicate a weakening of the current trend's strength.
A Break of Structure typically indicates the continuation of the current market trend. This event occurs when the price decisively moves beyond a previous swing high or low, confirming the strength of the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, a BOS is marked by the price breaking above a previous high, while in a downtrend, it is identified by the price breaking below a previous low.
While a Market Structure Shift (MSS) can indicate a potential trend reversal and a Break of Structure (BOS) often confirms trend continuation, they do not assure a complete reversal or continuation. MSS and BOS levels can also function as liquidity zones or areas of price consolidation rather than definitively signaling a change in market direction. Traders should approach these signals cautiously and validate them with additional factors before making trading decisions. For further details on other components of the tool, please refer to the following sections.
🔶 ORDER & BREAKER BLOCKS
Order and Breaker Blocks are key concepts in price action analysis that help traders identify significant levels in the market structure.
Order Blocks are specific price zones where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These zones often represent the actions of large institutional traders or market makers, who execute substantial orders that impact the market.
Breaker Blocks are specific price zones where a strong reversal occurs, causing a break in the prevailing market structure. These blocks indicate areas where the price encountered significant resistance or support, leading to a reversal.
In summary, Order and Breaker Blocks are essential tools in price action analysis, providing insights into significant market levels influenced by institutional trading activities. These blocks help traders make informed decisions about potential support and resistance levels, trend reversals, and breakout confirmations.
🔶 BUYSIDE & SELLSIDE LIQUIDITY
Both buy-side and sell-side liquidity zones are critical for identifying potential turning points in the market. These zones are where significant buying or selling interest is concentrated, influencing future price movements.
In summary, buy-side and sell-side liquidity provide crucial insights into market demand and supply dynamics, helping traders make informed decisions based on the availability of orders at different price levels.
🔶 LIQUIDITY VOIDS
Liquidity voids are gaps or areas on a price chart where there is a lack of trading activity. These voids represent zones with minimal to no buy or sell orders, often resulting in sharp price movements when the market enters these areas.
In summary, liquidity voids are crucial areas on a price chart characterized by a lack of trading activity. These voids can lead to rapid price movements and increased volatility, making them essential considerations for traders in their analysis and decision-making processes.
🔶 SWING POINTS
Reversal price points are commonly referred to as swing points. Traders often analyze historical swing points to discern market trends and pinpoint potential trade entry and exit points.
Do note that in this script these are subject to backpainting, that is they are not located where they are detected.
The detection of swing points and the unique feature of this script rely exclusively on price action, eliminating the need for numerical user-defined settings. The process begins with detecting short-term swing points:
Short-Term Swing High (STH): Identified as a price peak surrounded by lower highs on both sides.
Short-Term Swing Low (STL): Recognized as a price trough surrounded by higher lows on both sides.
Intermediate-term and long-term swing points are detected using the same approach but with a slight modification. Instead of directly analyzing price candles, previously detected short-term swing points are utilized. For intermediate-term swing points, short-term swing points are analyzed, while for long-term swing points, intermediate-term ones are used.
This method ensures a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics, offering traders reliable insights into market structures. Detected swing points serve as the foundation for identifying market structures, buy-side/sell-side liquidity levels, and order and breaker blocks presented with this tool.
In summary, swing points are essential elements in technical analysis, helping traders identify trends, support, and resistance levels, and optimal entry and exit points. Understanding swing points allows traders to make informed decisions based on the natural price movements in the market.

4. Buy and Sell Signals
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when an energy surge crosses above the specified energyMultiplier and the price is above the Flow Mid. This indicates potential upward momentum with strong market participation.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when an energy surge crosses above the energyMultiplier and the price is below the Flow Mid. This indicates potential downward momentum with strong market participation.
5. Visual Cues
Flow Zones: The indicator plots the Flow High, Low, and Mid lines on your chart. These help you identify key levels where price action is likely to react.
Energy Surge Histogram: The energy surge is plotted as a histogram, showing when these surges occur.
Background Colours: When a buy signal is generated, the background turns green, indicating a potential buy zone. Similarly, when a sell signal is generated, the background turns red, indicating a potential sell zone.
6. Practical Application
Trend Continuation: Use buy signals when the price is above the Flow Mid and the market is in an uptrend. Similarly, use sell signals when the price is below the Flow Mid and the market is in a downtrend.
Reversals: If a signal occurs near the Flow High or Low, it could indicate a reversal. For instance, if a buy signal is generated near the Flow Low, it could signal a reversal from a support level.
Breakouts: Watch for signals that occur as the price breaks through the Flow High or Low. These can indicate strong breakout opportunities.
7. Customisation
Flow Period: Adjust this setting to change the sensitivity of the Flow Zones. Shorter periods will react more quickly to recent price changes, while longer periods will provide more stable zones.
Momentum Period: This controls the sensitivity of the RSI-based momentum calculation. Shorter periods react faster, while longer periods smooth out the momentum.
Volume Period: This setting controls how the volume pressure is calculated. Adjust it based on the timeframe and market you're trading.
Energy Multiplier: Customise this to fine-tune the energy surge signals. Higher multipliers filter out weaker surges, focusing only on the strongest movements.

zavaUnni-MTF_Volume-Based AnalysisThis Pine Script is designed for volume-based analysis across multiple timeframes. Users can select a specific timeframe, and based on the selected timeframe, the script calculates and projects key price levels such as potential highs and lows. The script also identifies significant buy and sell volumes, displaying them visually on the chart through lines and labels.
Key Points:
1.Timeframe Selection and Volume Analysis:
The script allows users to select a timeframe through an input field.
The selected timeframe is used as the basis for all subsequent volume and price calculations.
The core function vol_dir(string _TF) computes projected highs and lows based on volume data. This function determines whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase by calculating the spread (spred) and its rate (spred_rate), and then averaging these over the selected timeframe.
2.Projected High and Low Calculation:
-Green Line: Represents the volume-based projected high for the selected timeframe (e.g., 1D).
This line acts as a key resistance level, and if the price reaches or exceeds this level, it serves as support.
-Red Line: Represents the volume-based projected low for the selected timeframe.
This line acts as a support level, and if the price reaches or falls below this level, it serves as resistance.
3.Price and Volume Indicators:
-Blue Line: Marks the previous 1D closing price, giving traders an additional reference point for recent price action.
-Green Dotted Line: Indicates the previous 1D projected high. This line serves as historical context for traders, showing where resistance was expected in the past.
-Red Dotted Line: Shows the previous 1D projected low, similarly providing historical support levels.
4.Trading Implications:
If the price breaks above the Green Line, it suggests strong bullish momentum, making short entries riskier.
Conversely, if the price drops below the Red Line, it indicates strong bearish momentum, where long entries should be avoided.
5.Volume Summation and Percentage Calculation:
The script tracks the buy and sell volumes over the selected timeframe, storing these in arrays.
It then calculates the total buy and sell volumes, along with their respective percentages of the total volume. These percentages help in assessing the relative strength of buyers versus sellers.
6.Visual Representation:
The script plots various lines representing the projected high, low, and real-time closing price.
Additionally, it uses the label function to display the buy and sell volume percentages directly on the chart.
A table is also generated at the bottom of the chart, summarizing the information for easy reference.
7.Dynamic Updates:
The script dynamically updates the projected lines and labels based on new data as it becomes available, ensuring that traders always have the latest insights.
The timeframe.change function triggers recalculations and updates the last high, low, and close values whenever the timeframe shifts.
Conclusion:
This script is a powerful tool for traders who rely on volume-based analysis to make informed decisions. By projecting key levels based on volume and price action, it helps identify critical support and resistance zones. The visual elements, including lines, labels, and tables, make it easier for traders to interpret the data and act accordingly. Whether trading intraday or on longer timeframes, this script provides a robust framework for assessing market conditions and planning trades

TWAP calculates the average price of a security over a specified time period, giving equal weight to each interval. On the other hand, EMA places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to current market conditions.
To calculate Implementation Shortfall using TWAP, the difference between the average execution price and the benchmark price is determined over the trading period. Similarly, with EMA, the difference is calculated using the exponential moving average price instead of a simple average.
By employing TWAP and EMA, traders can gauge the effectiveness of their trading strategies and identify areas for improvement in executing trades relative to a benchmark.
Benefits of using Implementation Shortfall:
By visualizing the implementation shortfall and its comparison with the EMA on the chart, traders can quickly assess whether current trading activity is deviating from recent trends.
Green bars suggest potential buying opportunities or bullish sentiment, while red bars suggest potential selling opportunities or bearish sentiment.
Traders can use this visualization to make more informed decisions about their trading strategies, such as adjusting position sizes, entering or exiting trades, or managing risk based on the observed deviations from the moving average.
How to use this feature:
This feature calculates Implementation Shortfall (IS) and visually represents it by coloring the candles in either bullish (green) or bearish (red) hues. This color-coding system provides traders with a quick and intuitive way to assess market sentiment and potential entry points. Specifically, a long entry is signaled when both the candle color and the trend cloud color align as green, indicating a bullish market outlook. This integrated approach enables traders to make informed decisions, leveraging IS insights alongside visual cues for more effective trading strategies.
Micro Trend Candles:
Working Principle:
This feature begins by initializing variables to determine trend channel width and track price movements. Average True Range (ATR) is then calculated to measure market volatility, influencing the channel's size. Highs and lows are identified within a specified range, and trends are assessed based on price breaches, with potential changes signaled accordingly. The price channel is continually updated to adapt to market shifts, and arrows are placed to indicate potential entry points. Colors are assigned to represent bullish and bearish trends, dynamically adjusting based on current market conditions. Finally, candles on the chart are colored to visually depict the identified micro trend, offering traders an intuitive way to interpret market sentiment and potential entry opportunities.
Benefits of using Micro Trend Candles:
Traders can use these identified micro trends to spot potential short-term trading opportunities. For example:
Trend Following: Traders may decide to enter trades aligned with the prevailing micro trend. If the candles are consistently colored in a certain direction, traders may consider entering positions in that direction.
Reversals: Conversely, if the script signals a potential reversal by changing the candle colors, traders may anticipate trend reversals and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. For instance, they might close existing positions or enter new positions in anticipation of a trend reversal.
It's important to note that these micro trends are short-term in nature and may not always align with broader market trends. Therefore, traders utilizing this script should consider their trading timeframes and adjust their strategies accordingly.
How to use this feature:
This feature assigns colors to candles to represent bullish and bearish trends, with adjustments made based on current market conditions. Green candles accompanied by a green trend cloud signal a potential long entry, while red candles suggest caution, indicating a bearish trend. This visual representation allows traders to interpret market sentiment intuitively, identifying optimal entry points and exercising caution during potential downtrends.
Scalping Candles (Inspired by Elliott Wave):
Working Principle:
This feature draws inspiration from the Elliot Wave method, utilizing technical analysis techniques to discern potential market trends and sentiment shifts. It begins by calculating the variance between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of closing prices, mimicking Elliot Wave's focus on wave and trend analysis. The shorter-term EMA captures immediate price momentum, while the longer-term EMA reflects broader market trends. A smoother Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line, derived from the difference between these EMAs, aids in identifying short-term trend shifts or momentum reversals.
Benefits of using Scalping Candles Inspired by Elliott Wave:
The Elliott Wave principle is a form of technical analysis that attempts to predict future price movements by identifying patterns in market charts. It suggests that markets move in repetitive waves or cycles, and traders can potentially profit by recognizing these patterns.
While this script does not explicitly analyze Elliot Wave patterns, it is inspired by the principle's emphasis on trend analysis and market sentiment. By calculating and visualizing the difference between EMAs and assigning colors to candles based on this analysis, the script aims to provide traders with insights into potential market sentiment shifts, which can align with the broader philosophy of Elliott Wave analysis.
How to use this feature:
Candlestick colors are assigned based on the relationship between the EMA line and the variance. When the variance is below or equal to the EMA line, candles are colored red, suggesting a bearish sentiment. Conversely, when the variance is above the EMA line, candles are tinted green, indicating a bullish outlook. Though not explicitly analyzing Elliot Wave patterns, the script aligns with its principles of trend analysis and market sentiment interpretation. By offering visual cues on sentiment shifts, it provides traders with insights into potential trading opportunities, echoing Elliot Wave's emphasis on pattern recognition and trend analysis.
Volume Candles:
Working Principle:

The color-coded candle bodies help traders identify shifts in market sentiment and make informed trading decisions.
Smart Sentimeter Candles:
Working Principle:
The "Smart Sentimeter Candles" feature is a tool designed for market sentiment analysis using technical indicators. It begins by defining stock symbols from various sectors, allowing traders to select specific indices for sentiment analysis. The script then calculates the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the High-Low midpoint, capturing short-term momentum changes in the market. It computes the difference between current and previous values to capture momentum shifts over time.
Additionally, it calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of this difference to provide a smoothed representation of the prevailing trend in market momentum. Another EMA of this difference is calculated to offer an alternative perspective on longer-term momentum trends. Bar colors are determined based on the difference between current and previous values, with bullish and bearish sentiment represented by custom colors. Finally, sentiment candles are visualized on the chart, providing traders with a clear representation of market sentiment changes.
Benefits of Using Sentimeter Candles:
By analyzing index constituents, traders gain insights into the individual stocks that collectively influence the index's performance. This understanding is crucial for trading options as it helps traders tailor their strategies to specific sectors or stocks within the index.
Sector-Specific Analysis: Traders can focus on specific sectors by selecting relevant indices for sentiment analysis.
Momentum Identification: The script identifies short-term momentum changes in the market, aiding traders in spotting potential trend reversals or continuations.
Clear Visualization: Sentiment candles visually represent market sentiment changes, making it easier for traders to interpret and act upon sentiment trends.
How to use this feature:
Select Indices: Toggle the inputs to choose which indices (e.g., NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY) to analyze.

Observe Momentum Changes: Pay attention to momentum changes identified by the difference between EMAs and their respective EMAs. Increasing bullish momentum may present buying opportunities, while increasing bearish momentum could signal potential sell-offs.
Trend Cloud:
Working Principle:
The script utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to assess market momentum, identifying bullish and bearish phases based on RSI readings. It calculates two boolean variables, bullmove and bearmove, which signal shifts in momentum direction by considering changes in the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price. When RSI indicates bullish momentum and the closing price's EMA exhibits positive changes, bullmove is triggered, signifying the start of a bullish phase. Conversely, when RSI suggests bearish momentum and the closing price's EMA shows negative changes, bearmove is activated, marking the beginning of a bearish phase. This systematic approach helps in understanding the current trend of the price. The script visually emphasizes these phases on the chart using plot shape markers, providing traders with clear indications of trend shifts.
Benefits of Using Trend Cloud:
Comprehensive Momentum Assessment: The script offers a holistic view of market momentum by incorporating RSI readings and changes in the closing price's EMA, enabling traders to identify both bullish and bearish phases effectively.

Prompt Response: Traders can promptly react to changing market conditions as the script triggers alerts when bullish or bearish phases begin, allowing them to seize potential trading opportunities swiftly.
Informed Decision-Making: By integrating various indicators and visual cues, the script enables traders to make well-informed decisions and adapt their strategies according to prevailing market sentiment, ultimately enhancing their trading performance.
How to use this feature:
The most effective way to maximize the benefits of this feature is to use it in conjunction with other key indicators and visual cues. By combining the color-coded clouds, which indicate bullish and bearish sentiment, with other features such as IS candles, microtrend candles, volume candles, and sentimeter candles, traders can gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. For instance, aligning the color of the clouds with the trend direction indicated by IS candles, microtrend candles, and sentimeter candles can provide confirmation of trend strength or potential reversals.
Furthermore, traders can leverage the trend cloud as a trailing stop-loss tool for long entries, enhancing risk management strategies. By adjusting the stop-loss level based on the color of the cloud, traders can trail their positions to capture potential profits while minimizing losses. For long entries, maintaining the position as long as the cloud remains green can help traders stay aligned with the prevailing bullish sentiment. Conversely, a shift in color from green to red serves as a signal to exit the position, indicating a potential reversal in market sentiment and minimizing potential losses. This integration of the trend cloud as a trailing stop-loss mechanism adds an additional layer of risk management to trading strategies, increasing the likelihood of successful trades while reducing exposure to adverse market movements.
Moreover, the red cloud serves as an indicator of decay in option premiums and potential theta effect, particularly relevant for options traders. When the cloud turns red, it suggests a decline in option prices and an increase in theta decay, highlighting the importance of managing options positions accordingly. Traders may consider adjusting their options strategies, such as rolling positions or closing out contracts, to mitigate the impact of theta decay and preserve capital. By incorporating this insight into options pricing dynamics, traders can make more informed decisions about their options trades.
Scalping Opportunities (UpArrow and DownArrow):
Working Principle:
The feature calculates candlestick values based on the open, high, low, and close prices of each bar. By comparing these derived candlestick values, it determines whether the current candlestick is bullish or bearish. Additionally, it signals when there is a change in the color (bullish or bearish) of the derived candlesticks compared to the previous bar, enabling traders to identify potential shifts in market sentiment. This is a long only strategy, hence the signals are plotted only when the Trend Cloud is Green (Bullish).
Benefits of using UpArrow and DownArrow:
Clear Visualization: By employing color-coded candlesticks, the script offers traders a visually intuitive representation of market sentiment, enabling quick interpretation of prevailing conditions.
Signal Identification: Its capability to detect shifts in market sentiment serves as a valuable tool for identifying potential trading opportunities, facilitating timely decision-making and execution.
Long-Only Strategy: The script selectively plots signals only when the trend cloud is green, aligning with a bullish bias and enabling traders to focus on long positions during favorable market conditions.
Up arrows indicate potential long entry points, complementing the bullish bias of the trend cloud. Conversely, down arrows signify an active pullback in progress, signaling caution and prompting traders to refrain from entering long positions during such periods.
How to use this feature:
Confirmation: Confirm bullish market conditions with the Trend Cloud indicator. Ensure alignment between trend cloud signals, candlestick colors, and arrow indicators for confident trading decisions.
Entry Signals: Look for buy signals within a green trend cloud, indicated by bullish candlestick color changes and up arrows, suggesting potential long entry points aligned with the prevailing bullish sentiment.
Wait Signals: Exercise caution when encountering down arrows, which signify wait signals or active pullbacks in progress. Avoid entering long positions during these periods to avoid potential losses.
Exit Strategy: Use trend cloud color changes as signals to exit long positions. When the trend cloud shifts color, consider closing out long positions to lock in profits or minimize losses.
Profit Management: It's important to book or lock in some profits early on in option buying. Consider taking partial profits when the trade is in your favor and trail the remaining position to maximize gains on favorable trades.
Risk Management: Implement stop-loss orders or trailing stops to manage risk effectively. Exit positions promptly if sentiment shifts or if price movements deviate from the established trend, safeguarding capital.
Up and Down Signals:
Working Principle:
This feature calculates Trailing Stoploss (TSL) using the Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically adjust the stop level based on price movements. It generates buy signals when the price crosses above the trailing stop and sell signals when it crosses below. These signals are plotted on the chart and trigger alerts, signaling potential trading opportunities. Additionally, the script selectively plots Up and Down signals only when the Implementation Shortfall Calculation identifies scalp opportunities, independent of the prevailing price trend.
Benefits of using Up and Down Signals:
Trailing Stoploss: The script employs an ATR-based trailing stop, allowing traders to adjust stop levels dynamically in response to changing market conditions, thereby maximizing profit potential and minimizing losses.
Clear Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are generated based on price interactions with the trailing stop, providing clear indications of entry and exit points for traders to act upon.
Alert Notifications: The script triggers alerts when buy or sell signals are generated, ensuring traders remain informed of potential trading opportunities even when not actively monitoring the charts.
Scalping Opportunities: By incorporating Implementation Shortfall Calculation, the script identifies scalp opportunities, enabling traders to capitalize on short-term price movements irrespective of the prevailing trend.
How to use this feature:
Signal Interpretation: Interpret Up signals as opportunities to enter long positions when the price crosses above the trailing stop, and Down signals as cues to exit.
Alert Monitoring: Pay attention to alert notifications triggered by the script, indicating potential trading opportunities based on signal generation.
Scalping Strategy: When Up and Down signals are plotted alongside scalp opportunities identified by the Implementation Shortfall Calculation, consider scalping trades aligned with these signals for short-term profit-taking, regardless of the overall market trend.
Consideration of Trend Cloud: Remember that this feature does not account for the underlying trend provided by the Trend Cloud feature. Consequently, the take profit levels generated by the trailing stop may be smaller than those derived from trend-following strategies. It's advisable to supplement this feature with additional trend analysis to optimize profit-taking levels and enhance overall trading performance.
Chart Timeframe Support and Resistance:
Working Principle:
This feature serves to identify and visualize support and resistance levels on the chart, primarily based on the chosen Chart Timeframe (CTF). It allows users to specify parameters such as the number of bars considered on the left and right sides of each pivot point, as well as line width and label color. Moreover, users have the option to enable or disable the display of these levels. By utilizing functions to calculate pivot highs and lows within the specified timeframe, the script determines the highest high and lowest low surrounding each pivot point.
Additionally, it defines functions to create lines and labels for each detected support and resistance level. Notably, this feature incorporates a trading method that emphasizes the concept of resistance turning into support after breakouts, thereby providing valuable insights for traders employing such strategies. These lines are drawn on the chart, with colors indicating whether the level is above or below the current close price, aiding traders in visualizing key levels and making informed trading decisions.
Benefits of Chart Timeframe Support and Resistance:
Identification of Price Levels: Support and resistance levels help traders identify significant price levels where buying (support) and selling (resistance) pressure may intensify. These levels are often formed based on historical price movements and are regarded as areas of interest for traders.
Decision Making: Support and resistance levels assist traders in making informed trading decisions. By observing price reactions near these levels, traders can gauge market sentiment and adjust their strategies accordingly. For example, traders may choose to enter or exit positions, set stop-loss orders, or take profit targets based on price behavior around these levels.
Risk Management: Support and resistance levels aid in risk management by providing reference points for setting stop-loss orders. Traders often place stop-loss orders below support levels for long positions and above resistance levels for short positions to limit potential losses if the market moves against them.
How to use this feature:
Planning Long Positions: When considering long positions, it's advantageous to strategize when the price is in proximity to a support level identified by the script. This suggests a potential area of buying interest where traders may expect a bounce or reversal in price. Additionally, confirm the bullish bias by ensuring that the trend cloud is green, indicating favorable market conditions for long trades.
Waiting for Breakout: If long signals are generated near resistance levels detected by the script, exercise patience and wait for a breakout above the resistance. A breakout above resistance signifies potential strength in the upward momentum and may present a more opportune moment to enter long positions. This approach aligns with trading methodologies that emphasize confirmation of bullish momentum before initiating trades.

Adjusted Directional Movement @shrilssThis indicator combines elements of the Average True Range (ATR) and the Directional Movement Index (DMI) to create adjusted directional lines.
The core of this indicator lies in its calculation of the Adjusted Directional Movement (ADM), which provides a refined measure of price movement. Unlike traditional ATR calculations, which solely rely on the high-low range of each period, the ADM considers additional factors such as the current close relative to the previous close. This adjustment helps to capture more accurately the true extent of price movement.
To calculate the ADM, the script first computes the True Range (TR), which represents the maximum of three values: the current high minus low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close. This TR value serves as the basis for determining price movement.
Next, the script calculates the Adjusted Directional Movement (ADM) by comparing the current high-low range with the range from the previous period. Positive ADM (Plus ADM) is computed as the maximum of the current high minus the previous high or zero, while negative ADM (Minus ADM) is calculated as the maximum of the previous low minus the current low or zero.
Once the Plus ADM and Minus ADM values are obtained, they are normalized by dividing them by the True Range. This normalization process ensures that the directional lines accurately reflect the proportion of price movement relative to the overall range.
Finally, the script smoothes out these directional lines over a specified length using a simple moving average calculation. The resulting Plus Directional Line (+DI) and Minus Directional Line (-DI) provide insights into the strength and direction of price movement.
Visually, the script plots the +DI and -DI lines on the chart, with a shaded region indicating which line is dominant at any given time. This shading helps traders quickly assess the prevailing trend direction.
