FIRST-HOUR TOOL V.1.8.08.23Three horizontal lines are drawn on the chart to represent session prices. These prices are calculated based on the user-specified session:
"FirstHour Session High" represents the highest price reached during the firsthour session.
"FirstHour Session Open" represents the opening price of the firsthour session
"FirstHour Session Low" represents the lowest price reached during the firsthour session.
These prices are respectively colored with light blue, light yellow, and light pink.
The chart background can change color based on whether the current time is within the specified session. If the current time is within the session, the background will be colored in semi-transparent aqua green. Otherwise, it will remain transparent.
Upward-pointing triangle markers are used to highlight points where the closing price crosses above (crossover) or below (crossunder) the session levels.
These markers appear below the corresponding bar.
They are colored based on the type of crossover:
Yellow for crossover above the "FirstHour High"
Red for crossover above the "FirstHour Open"
Green for crossover above the "FirstHour Low"
Alerts:
Alert messages are generated when crossovers or crossunders of the closing price relative to the session levels occur.
The alerts appear once per bar. Alerts are generated for the following events:
Crossover of the price above the "Session High" with the message "High First Hour Crossover."
Crossunder of the price below the "Session Open" with the message "Open First Hour Crossunder."
Crossunder of the price below the "Session Low" with the message "Low First Hour Crossunder."
Crossover of the price above the "Session Low" with the message "Low First Hour Crossover."
In summary, this indicator provides a visual representation of session prices and events, helping traders spot significant crossovers and crossunders relative to key price levels.

Multi-Timeline 1.0Multi-TimeLines 1.0 - Comprehensive Description
WHAT IT DOES:
This indicator creates dynamic horizontal support/resistance lines based on opening prices captured at user-defined New York times. Unlike static horizontal lines, these levels automatically appear and disappear based on sophisticated session logic, providing traders with time-sensitive reference levels that adapt to market sessions.
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
1.
Timezone Conversion Engine:
The script uses Pine Script's "America/New_York" timezone functions to ensure all time calculations are based on NY time, regardless of the user's chart timezone. This eliminates confusion and provides consistent behavior across global markets.
2.
Dual-Category Time Classification System:
The indicator employs a unique two-category classification system:
Category A (16:00-23:59 NY): Evening times that extend overnight until next day 15:59 NY
Category B (00:00-15:59 NY): Day times that extend until same day 15:59 NY
This classification handles the complex logic of overnight sessions and prevents lines from incorrectly resetting at midnight for evening times.
3. Price Capture Mechanism:
Uses precise time-hit detection with backup systems for edge cases (especially midnight 00:00). When a specified time occurs, the script captures the bar's opening price and stores it in persistent variables using Pine Script's var declarations.
4. Session-Aware Display Logic:
Lines only appear during their designated "display windows" - periods when the captured price level is relevant. The script uses conditional plotting with plot.style_linebr to create clean breaks when lines are inactive.
5. Smart Reset System:
Different reset behaviors based on time classification:
Category A times persist across midnight (for overnight analysis)
Category B times reset on day changes (except 00:00 which captures AT day change)
Automatic cleanup when display windows close
ORIGINALITY & UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. Overnight Session Handling:
Unlike basic horizontal line tools, this script properly handles overnight spans for evening times, making it invaluable for analyzing gaps and overnight price action.
2. Automatic Session Management:
No manual line drawing required - the script automatically manages when lines appear/disappear based on NY market sessions (15:59 close, 18:00 after-hours start).
3. Time-Window Display Logic:
Lines only show during relevant periods, reducing chart clutter and focusing attention on currently active levels.
TRADING CONCEPTS & APPLICATIONS:
1. Session-Based Analysis:
Capture opening prices at key session times:
00:00 NY: Sydney/Asian session start
03:00 NY: London pre-market
08:00 NY: London session open
09:30 NY: NYSE opening bell
18:00 NY: After-hours start
2. Gap Analysis:
Evening times (20:00-23:59) that extend overnight are particularly useful for:
Identifying potential gap-fill levels
Tracking overnight high/low breaks
Setting reference points for next-day trading
3. Support/Resistance Framework:
Opening prices at significant times often act as:
Intraday support/resistance levels
Reference points for breakout/breakdown analysis
Pivot levels for mean reversion strategies
HOW TO USE:
1. Time Input:
Enter times in "HH:MM" format using 24-hour NY time:
"09:30" for NYSE open
"15:30" for late-day reference
"20:00" for evening level (extends overnight)
2. Line Behavior:
Blue/Green/Cyan/Red lines: Your custom times
Yellow line: After-hours day open (18:00 NY start)
Lines appear with breaks during inactive periods
3. Strategic Setup:
Use 2-3 key session times for your trading style
Combine morning times (immediate reference) with evening times (overnight analysis)
Toggle after-hours line based on your market focus
CALCULATION METHOD:
The script uses direct opening price capture (no smoothing or averaging) at precise time hits, ensuring the most accurate representation of actual market levels at specified times. This raw price approach maintains the integrity of actual market opening prices rather than manipulated or calculated values.
This method is particularly effective because opening prices at significant times often represent institutional order flow and can act as magnetic levels throughout subsequent sessions.
OHLCVRangeXThe OHLCVRange library provides modular range-building utilities for Pine Script v6 based on custom conditions like time, price, volatility, volume, and pattern detection. Each function updates a persistent range (OHLCVRange) passed in from the calling script, based on live streaming candles.
This library is designed to support dynamic windowing over incoming OHLCV bars, with all persistent state handled externally (in the indicator or strategy). The library merely acts as a filter and updater, appending or clearing candles according to custom logic.
📦
export type OHLCVRange
OHLCV.OHLCV candles // Sliding window of candles
The OHLCVRange is a simple container holding an array of OHLCV.OHLCV structures.
This structure should be declared in the indicator using var to ensure persistence across candles.
🧩 Range Updater Functions
Each function follows this pattern:
export updateXxxRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, ...)
r is the range to update.
current is the latest OHLCV candle (typically from your indicator).
Additional parameters control the behavior of the range filter.
🔁 Function List
1. Fixed Lookback Range
export updateFixedRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, int barsBack)
Keeps only the last barsBack candles.
Sliding window based purely on number of bars.
2. Session Time Range
export updateSessionRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, int minuteStart, int minuteEnd)
Keeps candles within the [minuteStart, minuteEnd) intraday session.
Clears the range once out of session bounds.
3. Price Zone Range
export updatePriceZoneRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, float minP, float maxP)
Retains candles within the vertical price zone .
Clears when a candle exits the zone.
4. Consolidation Range
export updateConsolidationRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, float thresh)
Stores candles as long as the candle range (high - low) is less than or equal to thresh.
Clears on volatility breakout.
5. Volume Spike Range
export updateVolumeSpikeRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, float avgVol, float mult, int surround)
Triggers a new range when a volume spike ≥ avgVol * mult occurs.
Adds candles around the spike (total surround * 2 + 1).
Can be used to zoom in around anomalies.
6. Engulfing Pattern Range
export updateEngulfingRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, int windowAround)
Detects bullish or bearish engulfing candles.
Stores 2 * windowAround + 1 candles centered around the pattern.
Clears if no valid engulfing pattern is found.
7. HTF-Aligned Range
export updateHTFAlignedRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, OHLCV.OHLCV prevHtf)
Used when aligning lower timeframe candles to higher timeframe bars.
Clears and restarts the range on HTF bar transition (compare prevHtf.bar_index with current).
Requires external management of HTF candle state.
💡 Usage Notes
All OHLCVRange instances should be declared as var in the indicator to preserve state:
var OHLCVRange sessionRange = OHLCVRange.new()
sessionRange := OHLCVRange.updateSessionRange(sessionRange, current, 540, 900)
All OHLCV data should come from the OHLCVData library (v15 or later):
import userId/OHLCVData/15 as OHLCV
OHLCV.OHLCV current = OHLCV.getCurrentChartOHLCV()
This library does not use var internally to enforce clean separation of logic and persistence.
📅 Planned Enhancements
Fib zone ranges: capture candles within custom Fibonacci levels.
Custom event ranges: combine multiple filters (e.g., pattern + volume spike).
Trend-based ranges: windowing based on moving average or trend breaks.
Normalized VolumeOVERVIEW
The Normalized Volume (NV) is an attempt at visualizing volume in a format that is more understandable by placing the values on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 in this case is the lowest volume candle available on the chart, and 100 being the highest. Calling a candle “high volume” can be misleading without having something to compare to. For example, in scaling the volume this way we can clearly see that a given candle had 80% of the peak volume or 20%, and gauge the validity of price moves more accurately.
FEATURES
NV by session
Allows user to filter the volume values across 4 different sessions. This can add context to the volume output, because what it high volume during London session may not be high volume relative to New York session.
Overlay plotting
When volume boxes are turned on, this will allow you to toggle how they are plotted.
Color theme
A standard color theme will color the NV based on if the respective candle closed green or red. Selecting variables will color the NV plot based on which range the value falls within.
Session inputs
Activated with the “By session?” Input. Allows user to break the day up into 4 sessions to more accurately gauge volume relative to time of day.
Show Box (X)
Toggles on chart boxes on and off.
Show historical boxes
Will plot prior occurrences of selected volume boxes, deleting them when price fully moves through them in the opposite direction of the initial candle.
Color inputs
Allows for intensive customization in how this tool appears visually.
INTERPRETATION
There are 6 pre-defined ranges that NV can fall within.
NV <= 10
Volume is insignificant
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 10 and <= 20
Volume is low
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 20 and <= 40
Volume is fair
In this range, volume should not be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 40 and <= 60
Volume is high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 60 and <= 80
Volume is very high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 80
Volume is extreme
In this range, volume is likely news driven and caution should be taken. High price volatility possible.
To utilize this tool in conjunction with your current strategy, follow the range explanations above section in this section. The higher the NV value, the stronger you can feel about your directional confirmation.
If NV = 100, this means that the highest volume candle occurred up to that point on your selected timeframe. All future data points will be weighed off of this value.
LIMITATIONS
This tool will not load on tickers that do not have volume data, such as VIX.
STRATEGY
The Normalized Volume plot can be used in exactly the same way as you would normally utilize volume in your trading strategy. All we are doing is weighing the volume relative to itself.
Volume boxes can be used as targets to be filled in a similar way to commonly used “fair value gap” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Plot to Wicks” in Overlay Plotting and toggling on Show Historical Boxes.
Volume boxes can be used as areas for entry in a similar way to commonly used “order block” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Open To Close” in Overlay Plotting.
NOTES
You are able to plot an info label on right side of NV plot using the "Toggle box label" input. When a box is toggled on this label will tell you when the most recent box of that intensity occurred.
This tool is deeply visually customizable, with the ability to adjust line width for plotted boxes, all colors on both box overlays, and all colors on NV panel. Customize it to your liking!
I have a handful of additional features that I plan on adding to this tool in future updates. If there is anything you would like to see added, any bugs you identify, or any strategies you encounter with this tool, I would love to hear from you!

RSI Supreme Multi-Method [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator, a powerful tool that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with selectable manipulation methods to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market, along with the ability to detect divergences for enhanced trading insights.
The indicator features four distinct manipulation methods for the RSI, each providing valuable insights into market conditions:
1. Standard RSI Method: The indicator uses the traditional RSI calculation to identify overbought and oversold areas.
2. Volatility Weighted RSI Method: This method applies a volatility formula to the RSI calculation, allowing for a more responsive indication of market conditions during periods of heightened volatility. Users can adjust the length of the volatility formula to fine-tune this method.
3. Smoothed RSI Method: The smoothed RSI method utilizes a smoothing algorithm to reduce noise in the RSI values, presenting a clearer representation of overbought and oversold conditions. The length of the smoothing can be adjusted to match your trading preferences.
4. Session Weighted RSI Method: With this innovative method, users can specify multipliers for different time sessions throughout the day to manipulate the base RSI. Each session can be customized with start and end times, enabling or disabling specific sessions, and specifying the multiplier for each session. This feature allows traders to adapt the RSI to different market sessions dynamically.
Additionally, the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator draws divergences on the oscillator, providing an extra layer of analysis for traders. Divergences occur when the direction of the RSI differs from the direction of the price movement, potentially signaling trend reversals.
Key Settings:
RSI Length: Adjust the length of the base RSI before applying any manipulation.
RSI Source: Determine the data source for the base RSI calculation.
Overbought Value: Set the RSI value at which overbought conditions are indicated.
Oversold Value: Set the RSI value at which oversold conditions are indicated.
RSI Type: Choose from four options: Standard, Smoothed, Volatility Manipulated, or Session Manipulated.
Volatility Manipulated Settings: Adjust the length of the volatility formula (applicable to Volatility Manipulated method).
Smoothed Settings: Adjust the length of the smoothing (applicable to Smoothed method).
Session Manipulated Settings: Customize six different time sessions with start and end times, enable or disable specific sessions, and specify multipliers for each session.
Divergence Color: Adjust the color of the drawn divergences to suit your chart's aesthetics.
Divergence Tuning: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the divergence detection for more accurate signals.
The "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator is a versatile and comprehensive tool that can be used to identify overbought and oversold areas, as well as to spot potential trend reversals through divergences. However, like all technical analysis tools, it should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods to make well-informed trading decisions.
Enhance your trading insights with the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator and gain an edge in identifying critical market conditions and divergences with precision.
ICT Sessions_One Setup for Life [MK]The script plots the High/Low of the following trading sessions:
London - 02:00-05:00
NY AM - 09:30-12:00
New York Lunch - 12:00-13:30
New York PM - 13:30-16:00
Due to the high level of liquidity (resting orders), highs and lows of these sessions may be used as buy/sell areas and also as profit target areas. Typically, buy orders would be initiated below a session low and sell orders would be initiated above a
session high.
The script also plots 'RTH (Regular Trading Hours) Opening Gaps'. The RTH gaps are drawn from the closing price of regular trading at 16:15 (EST) to the open price of regular trading at 09:30 (EST). Gaps can be areas that traders might anticipate to be filled at some time in the future. A gap 'midline' is available if needed and yesterday RTH close line can be shown and extended to the current bar.
This script is simply a means to draw boxes around certain areas/periods on the charts. It is in no way a trading strategy and users should spend much time to study the concept and should also perform extensive back-testing before taking any trades.
By setting the lookback value to a much higher value then the default of 6, users can utilise the script to perform their own backtesting studies.
The above chart shows the default setup of the indicator. Note that the user has to choose how far (in days) to lookback and draw the sessions/gaps.
It is also possible to show the session high//low lines and extend them to the current bar time. If this is used it is advised to keep the lookback period as low as possible to ensure charts stay clean/uncluttered.
All boxes/lines styles/colors are fully customisable.
Breaking Bar [5ema]I reused some functions, made by (i believe that):
@LeviathanCapital: Market Sessions.
-----
How to use?
More suitable for Scalping
1. Plan A: Break out the highest bar
Find the bar with the largest range (high – low) and high volume of the previous N bars.
When the price close breaks down to highest bar, give a SELL signal.
When the price close breaks up the highest, give a BUY signal.
2. Plan B: Break out the bar opened market
The price close breaks through the open bar, give a Buy and Sell signal.

Open Interest Profile (OI)- By LeviathanThis script implements the concept of Open Interest Profile, which can help you analyze the activity of traders and identify the price levels where they are opening/closing their positions. This data can serve as a confluence for finding the areas of support and resistance , targets and placing stop losses. OI profiles can be viewed in the ranges of days, weeks, months, Tokyo sessions, London sessions and New York sessions.
A short introduction to Open Interest
Open Interest is a metric that measures the total amount of open derivatives contracts in a specific market at a given time. A valid contract is formed by both a buyer who opens a long position and a seller who opens a short position. This means that OI represents the total value of all open longs and all open shorts, divided by two. For example, if Open Interest is showing a value of $1B, it means that there is $1B worth of long and $1B worth of short contracts currently open/unsettled in a given market.
OI increasing = new long and short contracts are entering the market
OI decreasing = long and short contracts are exiting the market
OI unchanged = the net amount of positions remains the same (no new entries/exits or just a transfer of contracts occurring)
About this indicator
*This script is basically a modified version of my previous "Market Sessions and Volume Profile by @LeviathanCapital" indicator but this time, profiles are generated from Tradingview Open Interest data instead of volume (+ some other changes).
The usual representation of OI shows Open Interest value and its change based on time (for a particular day, time frame or each given candle). This indicator takes the data and plots it in a way where you can see the OI activity (change in OI) based on price levels. To put it simply, instead of observing WHEN (time) positions are entering/exiting the market, you can now see WHERE (price) positions are entering/exiting the market. This is the same concept as when it comes to Volume and Volume profile and therefore, similar strategies and ways of understanding the given data can be applied here. You can even combine the two to gain an edge (eg. high OI increase + Volume Profile showing dominant market selling = possible aggressive shorts taking place)
Green nodes = OI increase
Red nodes = OI decrease
A cluster of large green nodes can be used for support and resistance levels (*trapped traders theory) or targets (lots of liquidations and stop losses above/below), OI Profile gaps can present an objective for the price to fill them (liquidity gaps, imbalances, inefficiencies, etc), and more.
Indicator settings
1. Session/Lookback - Choose the range from where the OI Profile will be generated
2. OI Profile Mode - Mode 1 (shows only OI increase), Mode 2 (shows both OI increase and decrease), Mode 3 (shows OI decrease on left side and OI increase on the right side).
3. Show OI Value Area - Shows the area where most OI activity took place (useful as a range or S/R level )
4. Show Session Box - Shows the box around chosen sessions/lookback
5. Show Profile - Show/hide OI Profile
6. Show Current Session - Show/hide the ongoing session
7. Show Session Labels - Show/hide the text labels for each session
8. Resolution - The higher the value, the more refined a profile is, but fewer profiles are shown on the chart
9. OI Value Area % - Choose the percentage of VA (same as in Volume Profile's VA)
10. Smooth OI Data - Useful for assets that have very large spikes in OI over large bars, helps create better profiles
11. OI Increase - Pick the color of OI increase nodes in the profile
12. OI Decrease - Pick the color of OI decrease nodes in the profile
13. Value Area Box - Pick the color of the Value Area Box
14. Session Box Thickness - Pick the thickness of the lines surrounding the chosen sessions
Advice
The indicator calculates the profile based on candles - the more candles you can show, the better profile will be formed. This means that it's best to view most sessions on timeframes like 15min or lower. The only exception is the Monthly profile, where timeframes above 15min should be used. Just take a few minutes and switch between timeframes and sessions and you will figure out the optimal settings.
This is the first version of Open Interest Profile script so please understand that it will be improved in future updates.
Thank you for your support.

LVN/HVN Auto Detection [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - LVN/HVN Auto Detection
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs LVN/HVN Auto Detection indicator is an advanced volume profile analysis tool that automatically identifies Low Volume Nodes (LVN) and High Volume Nodes (HVN) across multiple trading sessions. This sophisticated indicator analyzes volume distribution patterns to pinpoint critical support and resistance levels where price is likely to react, providing traders with high-probability zones for entries, exits, and risk management.
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show current activity, this tool builds comprehensive volume profiles from historical sessions and intelligently filters the most significant levels. It combines real-time volume analysis with dynamic level detection, offering both visual bubbles for immediate volume activity and persistent horizontal lines that act as ongoing support/resistance references.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Multi-Session Volume Profile Analysis - Automatically calculates and analyzes volume profiles across the last 5 trading sessions
Intelligent Level Separation Logic - Prevents overlapping signals by maintaining minimum separation between LVN and HVN levels
Dynamic Timeframe Adaptation - Automatically adjusts session lengths based on chart timeframe for optimal level detection
Real-Time Activity Bubbles - Shows volume activity strength through different bubble sizes at key levels
Persistent Line Management - Creates horizontal lines that extend until price crosses them, providing ongoing reference points
Dual Threshold System - Independent percentage-based thresholds for both LVN and HVN identification
🔧 Core Components
Volume Profile Engine : Builds 20-row volume profiles for each analyzed session, distributing volume across price levels
Level Identification Algorithm : Uses percentage-based thresholds to classify volume distribution patterns
Separation Logic : Ensures minimum distance between conflicting levels, prioritizing HVN when overlap occurs
Line Management System : Tracks active support/resistance lines and removes them when price crosses through
Volume Activity Monitor : Compares current volume to 13-period moving average for activity classification
🔥 Key Features
Customizable Thresholds : LVN threshold (5-35%, default 20%) and HVN threshold (65-95%, default 80%) for precise level filtering
Volume Activity Multiplier : Adjustable volume threshold (0.5+, default 1.5) for bubble and line creation sensitivity
Flexible Display Modes : Choose between Lines only, Bubbles only, or Both for optimal chart clarity
Smart Level Separation : Minimum separation percentage (0.1-2%, default 0.5%) prevents conflicting signals
Color Customization : Independent color controls for LVN (red) and HVN (blue) elements
Performance Optimization : Processes every 15 bars with maximum 500 active lines for smooth operation
🎨 Visualization
Colored Bubbles : Three sizes (large, medium, small) indicate volume activity strength at key levels
Horizontal Lines : Persistent support/resistance lines with width corresponding to volume activity
Dual Color System : Semi-transparent red for LVN areas, semi-transparent blue for HVN zones
Information Tooltip : Optional table showing usage guidelines and optimization tips
📖 Usage Guidelines
Volume Thresholds
LVN Threshold
○ Default: 20.0%
○ Range: 5.0-35.0%
○ Description: Price levels with volume below this percentage are marked as LVNs. Lower values create fewer, more significant levels. Typical range 15-25% works for most instruments.
HVN Threshold
○ Default: 80.0%
○ Range: 65.0-95.0%
○ Description: Price levels with volume above this percentage are marked as HVNs. Higher values create fewer, stronger levels. Range 75-85% is optimal for most trading.
Display Controls
Volume Threshold
○ Default: 1.5
○ Range: 0.5+
○ Description: Multiplier for volume significance (High=2+threshold, Medium=1+threshold, Low=0+threshold). Higher values require more volume for signals.
✅ Best Use Cases
Swing Trading : Identify key levels for position entries and exits over multiple days
Scalping : Use bubbles for immediate volume activity confirmation at critical levels
Risk Management : Place stops beyond LVN levels where price moves quickly
Breakout Trading : Monitor HVN levels for potential breakout or rejection scenarios
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Combine with higher timeframe levels for confluence
⚠️ Limitations
Timeframe Sensitivity : Lower timeframes may produce too many levels; higher timeframes recommended for cleaner signals
Volume Data Dependency : Accuracy depends on reliable volume data from your data provider
Historical Analysis : Uses past volume data which may not predict future price behavior
Performance Impact : High number of active lines may affect chart performance on slower devices
💡 What Makes This Unique
Automated Session Analysis : No manual drawing required - automatically analyzes multiple sessions
Intelligent Filtering : Advanced separation logic prevents overlapping and conflicting signals
Adaptive Processing : Adjusts to different timeframes automatically for optimal level detection
Dual Visualization System : Combines persistent lines with real-time activity indicators
🔬 How It Works
1. Volume Profile Construction :
Analyzes the last 5 trading sessions with dynamic session length based on timeframe
Divides each session’s price range into 20 equal levels for volume distribution analysis
2. Level Classification :
Calculates volume percentage at each price level relative to session maximum
Identifies LVN levels below threshold and HVN levels above threshold
3. Signal Generation :
Creates bubbles when volume activity exceeds thresholds at identified levels
Draws horizontal lines that persist until price crosses through them
💡 Note : For optimal results, increase your chart timeframe if you see too many levels. The indicator performs best on 15-minute and higher timeframes where volume patterns are more meaningful and less noisy.
VWAP Adaptive (RelVol-Adjusted)This indicator provides an Adaptive VWAP that adjusts volume weighting using RelVol (Relative Volume at Time), offering a more accurate and context-aware price reference during sessions with irregular volume behavior.
Classic VWAP calculates the average price weighted by raw volume, without considering the time of day. This becomes a serious limitation during major market events such as CPI releases, FOMC announcements, NFP, or large-cap earnings. These events often trigger massive volume spikes within one or two candles. As a result, the classic VWAP gets pulled toward those extreme prices and becomes permanently skewed for the rest of the session.
In such conditions, classic VWAP becomes unreliable. It no longer reflects fair value and often misleads traders relying on it for dynamic support, resistance, or reversion signals.
This Adaptive VWAP improves on that by using RelVol, which compares the current volume to the average volume seen at the same time over previous sessions. It gives more weight to price when volume is typical for that moment, and adjusts the influence when volume is statistically abnormal. This reduces the impact of isolated volume spikes and stabilizes the VWAP path, even in high-volatility environments.
For example, on SPY 1-minute or 5-minute charts during a CPI release, a massive spike in volume and price can occur within a single candle. Classic VWAP will immediately anchor itself to that spike. Adaptive VWAP using RelVol softens that effect and maintains a more realistic trajectory.
Key features:
- Adaptive VWAP weighted by time-adjusted Relative Volume (RelVol)
- Designed to maintain VWAP reliability during macroeconomic events
- Flexible anchoring: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Earnings, etc.
- Optional display of Classic VWAP for comparison
- Up to 3 customizable deviation bands (standard deviation or percentage)
This tool is ideal for intraday traders who need a VWAP that remains usable and unbiased, even in volatile sessions. It adds robustness to VWAP-based strategies by incorporating time-sensitive volume normalization.
Enigma Sniper 369The "Enigma Sniper 369" is a custom-built Pine Script indicator designed for TradingView, tailored specifically for forex traders seeking high-probability entries during high-volatility market sessions.
Unlike generic trend-following or scalping tools, this indicator uniquely combines session-based "kill zones" (London and US sessions), momentum-based candle analysis, and an optional EMA trend filter to pinpoint liquidity grabs and reversal opportunities.
Its originality lies in its focus on liquidity hunting—identifying levels where stop losses are likely clustered (around swing highs/lows and wick midpoints)—and providing visual entry zones that are dynamically removed once price breaches them, reducing clutter and focusing on actionable signals.
The name "369" reflects the structured approach of three key components (session timing, candle logic, and trend filter) working in harmony to snipe precise entries.
What It Does
"Enigma Sniper 369" identifies potential buy and sell opportunities by drawing two types of horizontal lines on the chart during user-defined London and US
session kill zones:
Solid Lines: Mark the swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells) of a trigger candle, indicating a potential entry point where stop losses might be clustered.
Dotted Lines: Mark the 50% level of the candle’s wick (lower wick for buys, upper wick for sells), serving as a secondary confirmation zone for entries or tighter stop-loss placement.
These lines are plotted only when specific candle conditions are met within the kill zones, and they are automatically deleted once the price crosses them, signaling that the liquidity at that level has likely been grabbed. The indicator also includes an optional EMA filter to ensure trades align with the broader trend, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on a multi-layered approach:
Kill Zone Timing: Trades are only considered during user-defined London and US session hours (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, as seen in the screenshots). These sessions are known for high volatility and liquidity, making them ideal for capturing institutional moves.
Candle-Based Momentum Logic:
Buy Signal: A candle must close above its midpoint (indicating bullish momentum) and have a lower low than the previous candle (suggesting a potential liquidity grab below the previous swing low). This is expressed as close > (high + low) / 2 and low < low .
Sell Signal: A candle must close below its midpoint (bearish momentum) and have a higher high than the previous candle (indicating a potential liquidity grab above the previous swing high), expressed as close < (high + low) / 2 and high > high .
These conditions ensure the indicator targets candles that break recent structure to hunt stop losses while showing directional momentum.
Optional EMA Filter: A 50-period EMA (customizable) can be enabled to filter signals based on trend direction.
Buy signals are only generated if the EMA is trending upward (ema_value > ema_value ), and sell signals require a downward EMA trend (ema_value < ema_value ). This reduces noise by aligning entries with the broader market trend.
Liquidity Levels and Deletion Logic:
For a buy signal, a solid green line is drawn at the candle’s low, and a dotted green line at the 50% level of the lower wick (from the candle body’s bottom to the low).
For a sell signal, a solid red line is drawn at the candle’s high, and a dotted red line at the 50% level of the upper wick (from the body’s top to the high).
These lines extend to the right until the price crosses them, at which point they are deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken (e.g., stop losses triggered).
Alerts: The indicator includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, notifying traders when a new setup is identified.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is grounded in the concept of liquidity hunting, a strategy often employed by institutional traders. Markets frequently move to levels where stop losses are clustered—typically just beyond swing highs or lows—before reversing in the opposite direction. The "Enigma Sniper 369" targets these moves by identifying candles that break structure (e.g., a lower low or higher high) during high-volatility sessions, suggesting a potential sweep of stop losses. The 50% wick level acts as a secondary confirmation, as this midpoint often represents a zone where tighter stop losses are placed by retail traders. The optional EMA filter adds a trend-following element, ensuring entries are taken in the direction of the broader market momentum, which is particularly useful on lower timeframes like the 15-minute chart shown in the screenshots.
How to Use It
Here’s a step-by-step guide based on the provided usage example on the GBP/USD 15-minute chart:
Setup the Indicator: Add "Enigma Sniper 369" to your TradingView chart. Adjust the London and US session hours to match your timezone (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, US from 13:00 to 22:00 UTC). Customize the EMA period (default 50) and line styles/colors if desired.
Identify Kill Zones: The indicator highlights the London session in light green and the US session in light purple, as seen in the screenshots. Focus on these periods for signals, as they are the most volatile and likely to produce liquidity grabs.
Wait for a Signal: Look for solid and dotted lines to appear during the kill zones:
Buy Setup: A solid green line at the swing low and a dotted green line at the 50% lower wick level indicate a potential buy. This suggests the market may have grabbed liquidity below the swing low and is now poised to move higher.
Sell Setup: A solid red line at the swing high and a dotted red line at the 50% upper wick level indicate a potential sell, suggesting liquidity was taken above the swing high.
Place Your Trade:
For a buy, set a buy limit order at the dotted green line (50% wick level), as this is a more conservative entry point. Place your stop loss just below the solid green line (swing low) to cover the full swing. For example, in the screenshots, the market retraces to the dotted line at 1.32980 after a liquidity grab below the swing low, triggering a buy limit order.
For a sell, set a sell limit order at the dotted red line, with a stop loss just above the solid red line.
Monitor Price Action: Once the price crosses a line, it is deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken. In the screenshots, after the buy limit is triggered, the market moves higher, confirming the setup. The caption notes, “The market returns and tags us in long with a buy limit,” highlighting this retracement strategy.
Additional Context: Use the indicator to identify liquidity levels that may be targeted later. For example, the screenshot notes, “If a new session is about to open I will wait for the grab liquidity to go long,” showing how the indicator can be used to anticipate future moves at session opens (e.g., London open at 1.32980).
Risk Management: Always set a stop loss below the swing low (for buys) or above the swing high (for sells) to protect against adverse moves. The 50% wick level helps tighten entries, improving the risk-reward ratio.
Practical Example
On the GBP/USD 15-minute chart, during the London session (02:00 UTC), the indicator identifies a buy setup with a solid green line at 1.32901 (swing low) and a dotted green line at 1.32980 (50% wick level). The market initially dips below the swing low, grabbing liquidity, then retraces to the dotted line, triggering a buy limit order. The price subsequently rises to 1.33404, yielding a profitable trade. The user notes, “The logic is in the last candle it provides new level to go long,” emphasizing the indicator’s ability to identify fresh levels after a liquidity sweep.
Customization Tips
Adjust the EMA period to suit your timeframe (e.g., a shorter period like 20 for faster signals on lower timeframes).
Modify the session hours to align with your broker’s timezone or specific market conditions.
Use the alert feature to get notified of new setups without constantly monitoring the chart.
Why It’s Useful for Traders
The "Enigma Sniper 369" stands out by combining session timing, momentum-based candle analysis, and liquidity hunting into a single tool. It provides clear, actionable levels for entries and stop losses, removes invalid signals dynamically, and aligns trades with high-probability market conditions. Whether you’re a scalper looking for quick moves during London open or a swing trader targeting session-based reversals, this indicator offers a structured, data-driven approach to trading.

Macro Times [Blu_Ju]About ICT Macro Times:
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) has taught that there are certain time sessions when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) is running a macro. The macro itself could be a repricing macro, a consolidation macro, etc. - this depends on where price currently is in relation to its draw. The times the macro is active do not change however, and are always the following (in New York local time):
8:50-9:10 (premarket macro)
9:50-10:10 (AM macro 1)
10:50-11:10 (AM macro 2)
11:50-12:10 (lunch macro)
13:10-13:40 (PM macro)
15:15-15:45 (final hour macro)
Because these times are fixed, traders can anticipate a setup is likely to form in or around these sessions. Setups may involve sweeps of liquidity (highs/lows), repricing to inefficiencies (e.g., fair value gaps), breaker setups, etc. (The specific setup involved is beyond the scope of this script; this script is concerned with visually marking the time sessions only.)
About this Script:
The scope of this script is to visually identify the macro active time sessions. This script draws vertical lines to mark the start and end of the macro time sessions. Optionally, the user can use a background color for the macro session with or without the vertical lines. The user can also toggle on or off any of the macro sessions, if he or she is only interested in certain ones. The user also has the freedom to change the times of the macro sessions if he or she is interested in a different time.
What makes this script unique is that it plots the macro time sessions after midnight for each day, before the real-time bar reaches the macro times. This is advantageous to the trader, as it gives the trader a visual cue that the macro times are approaching. When watching price it is easy to lose track of time, and the purpose of this script is to help the trader maintain where price is in relation to the macro time sessions in a simple, visual way.
Opening Range Gaps [TFO]This indicator displays Opening Range Gaps with an adjustable time window. Its intention is to capture the discrepancy between the close price of previous and new Real Trading Hours (RTH) sessions, i.e. yesterday's close compared to today's open. A gap will be drawn from this area with a solid line denoting its midpoint, and dashed lines denoting the upper and lower quartiles of its range. Its color is determined by whether the new session open price is above or below the previous session close.
The Gap Session parameter allows users to define the specific time window for which to capture the "gap" in price. Using U.S. index futures as an example, we can use 16:00 - 09:30 (EST) to capture the discrepancy between the previous day's close price and the current day's open price. However, this parameter is left as adjustable for users that may want to observe different markets or simply experiment with different time windows.
Show Session Delineations will draw vertical timestamps denoting the start and end times of the provided Gap Session. Track Start Price serves as a visual aid to track the initial price of the Gap Session until its end price is validated, for easy visual verification of a gap's upper and lower bounds. With both options turned off, the indicator will only display the gap boxes and lines, as shown here:
Extend Boxes will draw all gaps with an indefinite extension to the right. This can get messy with a large number of boxes, which is why we have a Keep Last parameter to limit how many sessions' drawings should be stored. Any drawings that were made beyond this number of sessions in the past will automatically be deleted.
The Timeframe Limit will dictate that the indicator as a whole will only draw objects on timeframes less than or equal to this timeframe, determined by the user. In some cases this may help users avoid resolution errors which may arise from using timeframes that are too large for a given session. For example, if a user wanted to track a Gap Session of 16:15-09:30, the Timeframe Limit should be set to 15 minutes because the close price at 16:15 cannot be observed on a 30 minute chart (or greater).
Breakout/Breakdown Indicator (30 Min Range) by InvestYourAsset👉The indicator provided here is a technical analysis indicator for TradingView users that identifies potential breakout and breakdown opportunities on the initial 30-minute range in every trading session.
👉The indicator high and low of the initial 30-minute period and plotting them as horizontal lines on the chart. The high is marked in green line and the low is marked in red line.
📈The indicator then generates buy and sell signals based on whether the current close price crosses above or below the previous 30-minute high and low, respectively.
📢The indicator also has two inputs:
👉 sessionStartHour : The hour at which the trading session begins. The default value is 9, However users can change the time according to their own trading style.
👉 sessionStartMinute : The minute at which the trading session begins. The default value is 0.
These inputs can be used to adjust the indicator to the specific trading session that you are interested in.
✅How to use the Indicator:
👉To use the 30 Minute Breakout/Breakdown Indicator, simply add it to your chart and configure the inputs to your liking. Once the indicator is added to the chart, it will plot the 30-minute high and low as horizontal lines, as well as generate buy and sell signals based on the current close price.
✅Here is a step-by-step guide:
📈Open TradingView and select the chart that you want to add the indicator to.
📈Click on the "Indicators" tab and search for "30 Minute Breakout/Breakdown Indicator by InvestYourAsset".
📈Click on the indicator to add it to your chart.
📈Configure the inputs to your liking. The default values are typically fine, but you can experiment with different values to see what works best for you.
📈Once you are satisfied with the settings, click on the "Apply" button.
📈The indicator will now be displayed on your chart. You will see two horizontal lines representing the previous 30-minute high and low, as well as triangles representing buy and sell signals.
✅How to interpret the signals:
📈Buy signal : A buy signal is generated when the current close price crosses above the previous 30-minute high. This suggests that the price is likely to continue moving higher in the short term.
📈Sell signal : A sell signal is generated when the current close price crosses below the previous 30-minute low. This suggests that the price is likely to continue moving lower in the short term.
👉Traders should remember that the present indicator is just one tool that can be used to identify potential trading opportunities. It is important to use other technical analysis tools and risk management techniques to confirm your trading signals before entering any trades.
✅Things to consider while using the indicator:
📈Look for buy signals in an uptrend and sell signals in a downtrend. This will increase the likelihood of your trades being successful.
📈Place your stop losses below the previous 30-minute low for buy signals and above the previous 30-minute high for sell signals. This will help to limit your losses if the trade goes against you.
📈Consider taking profits at key resistance and support levels. This will help you to lock in your profits and avoid giving them back to the market.

Default Strategy Inputs (Forex / Crypto)The code in this post contains a set of default strategy inputs I use in new projects / backtests in Tradingview.
Full code commentary is available on the Backtest-Rookies website. To comply with house rules, I cannot post the direct link here.
Features
Trade Direction: So that you can limit the strategy for long only, short only or trade in both directions. It is important to note that when you select “Long Only”, you will still see Short signals on the chart. However, they are only used to close a position rather than reverse it. This is the default behaviour for strategies. The same applies to “Short Only”.
Date Ranges: So that you can isolate backtesting to specific periods of interest such as bull or bear markets.
Sessions: So you can easily get an idea of the expected results during your own session. You may also notice that performance of the strategy varies depending on which session it is deployed in.
Some example stop losses: It is not an exhaustive list but it should be enough to provide some inspiration for different types of stops that you can experiment with.
Happy Scripting. I hope the community finds it useful.

HOW TO USE IT
📋 Recommended setup
Timeframe : Works on all timeframes but daily, weekly or monthly timeframe usage is recommended. In any case, it should always be used consistently with your time horizon
Markets : Stocks, crypto, forex, commodities
Threshold for volume peak realization : It's recommended to start with 2.0x (i.e., twice the volume average) for normal markets, 1.5x for more volatile markets. This parameter can be set in the settings as desired
🎨 Visual interpretation
Green Arrows : Peak during bullish candle
Red Arrows : Peak during bearish candle
Red Background : High probability (>90%) of new peak
Yellow Background : Medium probability (50-70%)

DESCRIZIONE IN ITALIANO
💥 VEP - Volume Explosion Predictor
Panoramica Generale
Il Volume Explosion Predictor (VEP) è un indicatore avanzato che analizza i picchi di volume per prevedere quando potrebbe verificarsi la prossima esplosione di volume. Utilizzando analisi statistiche sui pattern storici, fornisce probabilità accurate sui momenti di maggiore attività di trading.
CARATTERISTICHE PRINCIPALI
🎯 Rilevamento intelligente dei picchi di volume
- Identifica automaticamente i picchi di volume significativi
- Filtro anti-consecutivo per evitare segnali ridondanti
- Soglia personalizzabile per la sensibilità del rilevamento
📊 Analisi statistica avanzata
Calcola la distanza media tra i picchi di volume
Monitora il numero di sessioni senza picchi
Traccia il range massimo storico senza attività
🔮 Sistema predittivo
Probabilità dinamica: Calcola la probabilità di un imminente picco
Indicatori visivi: Colori di sfondo che cambiano in base alla probabilità
Previsioni temporali: Stima delle sessioni rimanenti al prossimo picco
📈 Segnali visivi
1) Frecce colorate: Verdi per picchi rialzisti, rosse per ribassisti
2) Tabella statistiche: Panoramica completa in tempo reale
SISTEMA DI ALERT
🚨 Tre Livelli di Alert
1) New Valid Volume Peak: Nuovo picco rilevato
2) Approaching Prediction: Probabilità in aumento
3) High Peak Probability: Alta probabilità di esplosione
COME UTILIZZARLO
📋 Setup consigliato
- Timeframe : Funziona su tutti i timeframe ma è consigliabile un utilizzo su timeframe giornaliero, settimanale o mensile. In ogni caso va sempre utilizzato coerentemente con il proprio orizzonte temporale
- Mercati : Azioni, crypto, forex, commodities
- Limite affinché si realizzi il picco di volumi : Si consiglia di iniziare con 2.0x (ovvero due volte la media dei volumi) per mercati normali, 1.5x per mercati più volatili. Questo parametro può essere settato nelle impostazioni a proprio piacimento
🎨 Interpretazione visuale
Frecce Verdi : Picco durante candela rialzista
Frecce Rosse : Picco durante candela ribassista
Sfondo Rosso : Alta probabilità (>90%) di nuovo picco
Sfondo Giallo : Probabilità media (50-70%)
📊 TABELLA STATISTICHE
La tabella mostra:
1. Totale picchi analizzati
2. Distanza media tra picchi
3. Sessioni attuali senza picchi
4. Previsione sessioni rimanenti
5. Probabilità percentuale
