Single Prints - Session Initial BalancesDisclaimer: Expose yourself to the knowledge of different trading methods. If you are unaware of what a Single Print is then do some research and broaden your knowledge.
This indicator has only been tested on BTCUSDT Binance pair. This indicator is meant to be used on the 30 minute timeframe to highlight Single Prints.
The calculations are base on 0000 UTC and what Single Prints are created during that day.
Single Prints
Single Prints are where prices moves to fast through an area (on a 30 minute timeframe), in the case of this indicator in $50 intervals, where the price has not yet cross back past, represented as orange lines. If you were viewing this on a Time Price Opportunity Chart (TPO) each $50 would be represented as a square with a letter in it. If price has only been through that area once, within that 24 hour period, then it is called a Single Print. If however the Single Print is on the lower wick of the candle it is called a Buying Tail and on the Upper Wick a Selling Tail.
Single Prints leave low volume nodes with liquidity gaps, these inefficient moves tend to get filled, and we can seek trading opportunities once they get filled, or we can also enter before they get filled and use these single prints as targets.
Single Prints are a sign of emotional buying or selling as very little time was spent at those levels and thus there is no value there.
The endpoints of single print sections are considered to be potential support or resistance points and or get filled (like a CME gap).
The above is only a very short summary, to understand Single Prints, Buying Tails and Selling Tails more please do your own research (DYOR).

Initial Balance
The Initial Balance is the market range between the high and low of the first hour of trading for the market. In the case of crypto when is the Initial Balance if it is 24/7.
Context of Initial Balance:
The Initial Balance is traditionally the range of prices transacted in the first hour of trade. Many regard the Initial Balance as a significant range because, especially for the index futures which are tied to the underlying stocks, orders entered overnight or before the open are typically executed prior to the end of the first hour of trade. Some use it to understand how the rest of the day may develop, while others use it as a span of time to avoid trading altogether because of its potential volatility.
For this indicator I have coded the Initial Balance time as below:
White Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 0000 to 0100 UTC .
Purple Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 0130 to 0230 UTC .
Yellow Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 0700 to 0800 UTC .
Blue Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 1330 to 1430 UTC .
Red Box - To appear for the first hour of the day 2000 to 2100 UTC .
The diagram above shows some examples:
How price (white arrows) retraces the single prints.
How price (red arrows) uses the single prints as S/R.

London Breakout/Session GBP/USD Forex DaytradeThis is a forex strategy suited for day traders, specialized in the london breakout session
The key elements for this strategy are the specific london time session, together with an exit time(before asian trade/at the end of new york session).
At the same time, as logic elements we only use price action inside like :
For long we have 3 ascending candles, and for short we have 3 descending candles.
For exit we have both TP/SL based on price percentage movement, or we exit if we reach the end of the day.

Timed Reversion Markers (Custom Session Alerts)This script plots vertical histogram markers at specific intraday time points defined by the user. It is designed for traders who follow time-based reversion or breakout setups tied to predictable market behavior at key clock times, such as institutional opening moves, midday reversals, or end-of-day volatility.
Unlike traditional price-action indicators, this tool focuses purely on time-based triggers, a technique often used in time cycle analysis, market internals, and volume-timing strategies.
The indicator includes eight fully customizable time inputs, allowing users to mark any intraday minute with precision using a decimal hour format (for example, 9.55 for 9:55 AM). Each input is automatically converted into hour and minute format, and a visual histogram marker is plotted once per day at that exact time.
Example use cases:
Mark institutional session opens (e.g., 9:30, 10:00, 15:30)
Time-based mean reversion or volatility windows
Backtest recurring time-based reactions
Highlight algorithmic spike zones
The vertical plots serve as non-intrusive, high-contrast visual markers for scalping setups, session analysis, and decision-making checkpoints. All markers are displayed at the top of the chart without interfering with price candles.
Cumulative Weighted Change (Session) with 14 MAThis indicator provides the session weighted cumulative change of the Magnificent 7(AAPL META GOOG AMZN MSFT NVDA TSLA), it is weighted according to their market capitalization and size in relation to size of the market. The bar to bar current change is plotted by the fast line that begins its calculations at the start of each daily session, the smoother(slower) line is the 14 period Volume Weighted Moving Average of the cumulative change.
I use this in conjunction with a timeframe continuity indicator in order to weed out invalid signals, I have one that I have recently published. I use this to trade futures and index stock options, since the 7 tickers that this indicator is built off of are the biggest force that moves markets this ends up acting as an alpha indicator if you can find a consistent and reliable way to weed out false signals.
Happy Trading!
