Vanitati's Market Scope=========================================================
How to Use the Indicator
=========================================================
Configuration: Begin by setting the session times to match your trading interests. Customize the colors and styles according to your preferences.
Observation: Watch for the high and low markers of each session to form the initial balance. Note how the price moves in relation to these levels.
Action: Pay special attention to God Candles and engulfing patterns, especially when they coincide with high volume. These may offer trading signals in line with your strategy.
Adjustment: Regularly review and adjust the settings (e.g., session times, lookback periods) based on market conditions and your trading performance.
=========================================================
Initial Balance (IB) Settings:
=========================================================
Purpose: Marks the high and low of a specific trading session to indicate the initial range of market movement.
Usage: Customize session times for New York (NY), London (LN), and Tokyo (TK) to see the initial balance of each. Colors for the high, low, and mid-point lines can be adjusted.
Practical Application: Traders can use these lines to gauge market volatility or breakouts outside of these initial ranges.
=========================================================
Session Settings and Session Highlight Boxes
=========================================================
Purpose: Highlights trading sessions with customizable background colors and border styles, allowing for a quick visual reference of market sessions.
Usage: Set the times for NY, London, and Tokyo sessions along with desired background colors to have these periods visually marked on the chart.
Practical Application: Helps in identifying the overlap between major market sessions and potential increases in trading volume and volatility.
=========================================================
God Candle Settings
=========================================================
Purpose: Identifies significantly large and voluminous candles, known as "God Candles", which could signal strong market movements.
Usage: Adjust the lookback period, line length, and volume criteria to define what constitutes a God Candle. These settings also allow for the display of diamonds on bars that meet certain criteria but are not classified as God Candles.
Practical Application: These candles can signal strong buying or selling pressure and might be used as potential entry or exit points based on the trader's strategy.
=========================================================
Additional Features
=========================================================
Session Time Filters: Allows for filtering signals based on the time of day, useful for focusing on specific market hours.
Engulfing Pattern Detection: The script includes logic to identify bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, adding another layer of analysis for potential trading opportunities.
Volume Analysis: Incorporates volume into the analysis of God Candles and engulfing patterns to identify significant market movements.

NSDT Custom High and Low LinesFirst, the credit for the original script to plot a High and Low between a certain time goes to developer paaax.
I took that idea, converted it to Pinescript V5, cleaned up the code, and added a few more lines so you can plot different levels based on time of day.
Published open source like the original.
The example shown has:
Blue - plotting from the start of the Futures Asian session to the start of the Futures USA Session. (6:00PM - 9:30AM Eastern)
Yellow - plotting from the start of the Futures Europe session to the start of the Futures USA Session. (3:00AM - 9:30AM Eastern)
Green - plotting from the start of the Futures US Premarket session to the start of the Futures USA Session. (8:00AM - 9:30AM Eastern)
These are great levels to use for breakouts and/or support and resistance.
Combine these levels with the 5 min Open Range levels, as you have some good trades.
Each of the three sessions have individual start and end times that can be modified by the trader, so you can easily mark off important areas for your style of trading.
Waindrops [Makit0]█ OVERALL
Plot waindrops (custom volume profiles) on user defined periods, for each period you get high and low, it slices each period in half to get independent vwap, volume profile and the volume traded per price at each half.
It works on intraday charts only, up to 720m (12H). It can plot balanced or unbalanced waindrops, and volume profiles up to 24H sessions.
As example you can setup unbalanced periods to get independent volume profiles for the overnight and cash sessions on the futures market, or 24H periods to get the full session volume profile of EURUSD
The purpose of this indicator is twofold:
1 — from a Chartist point of view, to have an indicator which displays the volume in a more readable way
2 — from a Pine Coder point of view, to have an example of use for two very powerful tools on Pine Script:
• the recently updated drawing limit to 500 (from 50)
• the recently ability to use drawings arrays (lines and labels)
If you are new to Pine Script and you are learning how to code, I hope you read all the code and comments on this indicator, all is designed for you,
the variables and functions names, the sometimes too big explanations, the overall structure of the code, all is intended as an example on how to code
in Pine Script a specific indicator from a very good specification in form of white paper

█ FEATURES
Waindrops are a different way of seeing the volume and price plotted in a chart, its a volume profile indicator where you can see the volume of each price level
plotted as a vertical histogram for each half of a custom period. By default the period is 60 so it plots an independent volume profile each 30m
You can think of each waindrop as an user defined candlestick or bar with four key values:
• high of the period
• low of the period
• left vwap (volume weighted average price of the first half period)
• right vwap (volume weighted average price of the second half period)
The waindrop can have 3 different colors (configurable by the user):
• GREEN: when the right vwap is higher than the left vwap (bullish sentiment )
• RED: when the right vwap is lower than the left vwap (bearish sentiment )
• BLUE: when the right vwap is equal than the left vwap ( neutral sentiment )
KEY FEATURES
• Help menu
• Custom periods
• Central bars
• Left/Right VWAPs
• Custom central bars and vwaps: color and pixels
• Highly configurable volume histogram: execution window, ticks, pixels, color, update frequency and fine tuning the neutral meaning
• Volume labels with custom size and color
• Tracking price dot to be able to see the current price when you hide your default candlesticks or bars

█ LIMITS
This indicator only works on intraday charts (minutes only) up to 12H (720m), the lower chart timeframe you can use is 1m
This indicator needs price, time and volume to work, it will not work on an index (there is no volume), the execution will not be allowed
The histogram (volume profile) can be plotted on 24H sessions as limit but you can plot several 24H sessions
█ ERRORS AND PERFORMANCE
Depending on the choosed settings, the script performance will be highly affected and it will experience errors
Two of the more common errors it can throw are:
• Calculation takes too long to execute
• Loop takes too long
The indicator performance is highly related to the underlying volatility (tick wise), the script takes each candlestick or bar and for each tick in it stores the price and volume, if the ticker in your chart has thousands and thousands of ticks per bar the indicator will throw an error for sure, it can not calculate in time such amount of ticks.
What all of that means? Simply put, this will throw error on the BITCOIN pair BTCUSD (high volatility with tick size 0.01) because it has too many ticks per bar, but lucky you it will work just fine on the futures contract BTC1! (tick size 5) because it has a lot less ticks per bar
There are some options you can fine tune to boost the script performance, the more demanding option in terms of resources consumption is Updates per period , by default is maxed out so lowering this setting will improve the performance in a high way.
If you wanna know more about how to improve the script performance, read the HELP INFO accessible from the settings panel
█ HOW-TO SETUP
The basic parameters to adjust are Period size , Ticks per bar and Pixels per bar
• Period size is the main setting, defines the waindrop size, to get a better looking histogram set bigger period and smaller chart timeframe
• Ticks per bar is the tricky one, adjust it differently for each underlying (ticker) volatility wise, for some you will need a low value, for others a high one.
To get a more accurate histogram set it as lower as you can (min value is 1)
• Pixels per bar allows you to adjust the width of each histogram bar, with it you can adjust the blank space between them or allow overlaping
You must play with these three parameters until you obtain the desired histogram: smoother, sharper, etc...
These are some of the different kind of charts you can setup thru the settings:
• Balanced Waindrops (default): charts with waindrops where the two halfs are of same size.
This is the default chart, just select a period (30m, 60m, 120m, 240m, pick your poison), adjust the histogram ticks and pixels and watch
• Unbalanced Waindrops: chart with waindrops where the two halfs are of different sizes.
Do you trade futures and want to plot a waindrop with the first half for the overnight session and the second half for the cash session? you got it;
just adjust the period to 1860 for any CME ticker (like ES1! for example) adjust the histogram ticks and pixels and watch
• Full Session Volume Profile: chart with waindrops where only the first half plots.
Do you use Volume profile to analize the market? Lucky you, now you can trick this one to plot it, just try a period of 780 on SPY, 2760 on ES1!, or 2880 on EURUSD
remember to adjust the histogram ticks and pixels for each underlying
• Only Bars: charts with only central and vwap bars plotted, simply deactivate the histogram and volume labels
• Only Histogram: charts with only the histogram plotted (volume profile charts), simply deactivate the bars and volume labels
• Only Volume: charts with only the raw volume numbers plotted, simply deactivate the bars and histogram
If you wanna know more about custom full session periods for different asset classes, read the HELP INFO accessible from the settings panel
EXAMPLES
Full Session Volume Profile on MES 5m chart:
Full Session Unbalanced Waindrop on MNQ 2m chart (left side Overnight session, right side Cash Session):
The following examples will have the exact same charts but on four different tickers representing a futures contract, a forex pair, an etf and a stock.
We are doing this to be able to see the different parameters we need for plotting the same kind of chart on different assets
The chart composition is as follows:
• Left side: Volume Labels chart (period 10)
• Upper Right side: Waindrops (period 60)
• Lower Right side: Full Session Volume Profile
The first example will specify the main parameters, the rest of the charts will have only the differences
MES :
• Left: Period size: 10, Bars: uncheck, Histogram: uncheck, Execution window: 1, Ticks per bar: 2, Updates per period: EACH BAR,
Pixels per bar: 4, Volume labels: check, Track price: check
• Upper Right: Period size: 60, Bars: check, Bars color mode: HISTOGRAM, Histogram: check, Execution window: 2, Ticks per bar: 2,

Intraday Macro & Flow Indicator# IntraMacroFlow Indicator
## Introduction
IntraMacroFlow is a volume and delta-based indicator that identifies significant price movements within trading sessions. It generates signals when volume spikes coincide with quality price movement, filtered by RSI to avoid overbought/oversold conditions.
> **Note:** This indicator provides multiple signals and should be combined with additional analysis methods such as support/resistance, trend direction, and price action patterns.
## Inputs
### Volume Settings
* **Volume Lookback Period** (14) - Number of bars for volume moving average calculation
* **Volume Threshold Multiplier** (1.5) - Required volume increase over average to generate signals
* **Delta Threshold** (0.3) - Required close-to-open movement relative to bar range (higher = stronger movement)
### Session Configuration
* **Use Dynamic Session Detection** (true) - Automatically determine session times
* **Highlight Market Open Period** (true) - Highlight first third of trading session
* **Highlight Mid-Session Period** (true) - Highlight middle portion of trading session
* **Detect Signals Throughout Whole Session** (true) - Find signals in entire session
* **Session Time** ("0930-1600") - Trading hours in HHMM-HHMM format
* **Session Type** ("Regular") - Select Regular, Extended, or Custom session
### Manual Session Settings
Used when dynamic detection is disabled:
* **Manual Session Open Hour** (9)
* **Manual Session Open Minute** (30)
* **Manual Session Open Duration** (60)
* **Manual Mid-Session Start Hour** (12)
* **Manual Mid-Session End Hour** (14)
## How It Works
The indicator analyzes each bar using three primary conditions:
1. **Volume Condition**: Current volume > Average volume × Threshold
2. **Delta Condition**: |Close-Open|/Range > Delta threshold
3. **Time Condition**: Bar falls within configured session times
When all conditions are met:
* Bullish signals appear when close > open and RSI < 70
* Bearish signals appear when close < open and RSI > 30
## Display Elements
### Shapes and Colors
* Green triangles below bars - Bullish signals
* Red triangles above bars - Bearish signals
* Blue background - Market open period
* Purple background - Mid-session period
* Bar coloring - Green (bullish), Red (bearish), or unchanged
### Information Panel
A dynamic label shows:
* Current volume relative to average (Vol)
* Delta value for current bar (Delta)
* RSI value (RSI)
* Session status (Active/Closed)
## Calculation Method
```
// Volume Condition
volumeMA = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
volumeCondition = volume > volumeMA * volumeThreshold
// Delta Calculation (price movement quality)
priceRange = high - low
delta = math.abs(close - open) / priceRange
deltaCondition = delta > deltaThreshold
// Direction and RSI Filter
bullishBias = close > open and entrySignal and not (rsi > 70)
bearishBias = close < open and entrySignal and not (rsi < 30)
```
## Usage Recommendations
### Suitable Markets
* Equities during regular trading hours
* Futures markets
* Forex during active sessions
* Cryptocurrencies with defined volume patterns
### Recommended Timeframes
* 1-minute to 1-hour (optimal: 5 or 15-minute)
### Parameter Adjustments
* For fewer but stronger signals: increase Volume Threshold (2.0+) and Delta Threshold (0.4-0.6)
* For more signals: decrease Volume Threshold (1.2-1.5) and Delta Threshold (0.2-0.3)
### Usage Tips
* Combine with trend analysis for higher-probability entries
* Focus on signals occurring at session boundaries and mid-session
* Use opposite signals as potential exit points
* Configure alerts to receive notifications when signals occur
## Additional Notes
* RSI parameters are fixed at 14 periods with 70/30 thresholds
* The indicator handles overnight sessions correctly
* Fully compatible with TradingView alerts
* Customizable visual elements
## Release Notes
Initial release: This is a template indicator that should be customized to suit your specific trading strategies and preferences.

Alerts are triggered when the price touches the session high or low points.
Notifications are designed to avoid repetition; if the London session touches the Asian high or low, subsequent touches are not alerted until the next trading day.
Interactive Table Display:
A table is presented in the bottom right corner of the chart, showing:
The Asian low and high prices
The London low and high prices
Whether each price level has been touched.
Touched levels are visually highlighted in green, making it easy for traders to identify relevant price actions.
Daily Reset of Notifications:
The notification statuses are reset at the end of the London session each day, preparing for the next day’s trading activity.
Use Cases:
Traders can utilize this indicator to stay informed about pivotal price levels during important trading sessions, aiding in decision-making and strategy development.
The clear visual representation of price levels and touch statuses helps traders quickly assess market conditions.
This indicator is particularly beneficial for day traders and those who focus on price movements around key high and low points during the trading day.

ADX Breakout Strategy█ OVERVIEW
The ADX Breakout strategy leverages the Average Directional Index (ADX) to identify and execute breakout trades within specified trading sessions. Designed for the NQ and ES 30-minute charts, this strategy aims to capture significant price movements while managing risk through predefined stop losses and trade limits.
This strategy was taken from a strategy that was posted on YouTube. I would link the video, but I believe is is "against house rules".
█ CONCEPTS
The strategy is built upon the following key concepts:
ADX Indicator: Utilizes the ADX to gauge the strength of a trend. Trades are initiated when the ADX value is below a certain threshold, indicating potential for trend development.
Trade Session Management: Limits trading to specific hours to align with optimal market activity periods.
Risk Management: Implements a fixed dollar stop loss and restricts the number of trades per session to control exposure.
█ FEATURES
Customizable Stop Loss: Set your preferred stop loss amount to manage risk effectively.
Trade Session Configuration: Define the trading hours to focus on the most active market periods.
Entry Conditions: Enter long positions when the price breaks above the highest close in the lookback window and the ADX indicates potential trend strength.
Trade Limits: Restrict the number of trades per session to maintain disciplined trading.
Automated Exit: Automatically closes all positions at the end of the trading session to avoid overnight risk.
█ HOW TO USE
Configure Inputs :
Stop Loss ($): Set the maximum loss per trade.
Trade Session: Define the active trading hours.
Highest Lookback Window: Specify the number of bars to consider for the highest close.
Apply the Strategy :
Add the ADX Breakout strategy to your chart on TradingView.
Ensure you are using a 30-minute timeframe for optimal performance.
█ LIMITATIONS
Market Conditions: The strategy is optimized for trending markets and may underperform in sideways or highly volatile conditions.
Timeframe Specific: Designed specifically for 30-minute charts; performance may vary on different timeframes.

VIX Cheat SheetHello!
This indicator - "VIX Cheat Sheet" - performs several calculations for $VIX against the asset on your chart. However, using $VIX as a risk proxy or volatility metric often fails beyond large-cap U.S equities. To remedy this, the VixFix indicator is included in the script; you can select whether the script performs calculations for an asset against $VIX or against VixFix (i.e. Forex, Crypto)
Measured are: $VIX correlation to an asset's price fluctuations, the average close-to-close gain/loss subsequent a $VIX/VixFix close above the upper Bollinger Band, the average 5-session gain/loss following the same occurrence in addition to the average 10-session gain/loss, all close-to-close, 5 session, and 10-session gains/losses are stored as tooltips for labels on the chart. The current close-to-close percentage gain/loss for $VIX and VixFix are displayed on the chart.
Displayed in the example image is a box incorporating $VIX price data alongside an upper Bollinger Band and lower Bollinger Band. The data isn't cast to its own price scale but is helpful for quick interpretation of $VIX fluctuations. You can select to plot VixFix data in the box in the user inputs table.
Displayed in the second example image is a semi-transparent blue box encompassing all price moves that occurred when $VIX measured above $40 for at least ten consecutive sessions. The largest percentage close-to-close loss is displayed below the box.
Also illustrated is a red label that appears when $VIX or VixFix closes above the upper Bollinger Band. The indicator will calculate and display the performance of the asset for the subsequent 10 sessions, to which the red label will disappear and all data stored as a tooltip in the blue labels stating "VIX Closed Above Upper Band" or "VixFix Closed Above Upper Band".
To reduce chart clutter, a label and line combination marking all $VIX closes above the upper Bollinger Band was not included. Instead, bar color changes were added. When "$VIX" is selected in the user inputs table the indicator will mark all sessions in which $VIX closed above the upper band as blue, in addition to plotting $VIX price data in the dynamic black box. When "VixFix" is selected, the indicator will mark all sessions where VixFix closed above the upper band as purple; the VixFix indicator will be plotted in the black box.
Be sure to hover over labels to access tooltip information; try the indicator with bar replay!
Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur
🛠️ Settings Breakdown
🔹 Session Settings
Range Session: Set your preferred window (e.g., 0930–0945). Can be premarket, first 30 mins, or any custom time.
Time zone: Use "America/New York" for EST (default) or change to "GMT+0" for international traders.
🔹 Breakout Settings
Bullish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts above the range.
Bearish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts below the range.
This prevents repeated alerts once breakout has been confirmed.
🔹 Display Settings
Show Background Fill: Fills area between high/low of the range for easier visual analysis.
Show Breakout Signals: Triangle markers plotted on the chart when breakouts happen.
Only Show Today’s Range: Keeps the chart clean by showing only the most current day’s range.

Range Fill Color: Customize the highlight area for your chart style.
📊 Chart Features
Range High/Low Lines: Automatically plotted after range session ends.
Visual Fill Box: Optional background shading between the opening range.
Triangle Breakout Markers: Appear at the breakout candle.
Alerts: Can be used with TradingView’s alert system to notify you of breakouts in real-time.
🔔 Alerts
Two alert conditions are built in:
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks above the high of the range.
Bearish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks below the low of the range.
Example Alert Message:
📈 “Bullish Breakout above Open Range on AAPL!”
To activate:
Click “🔔 Alerts” on TradingView.

TrendMaster Pro 2.3 with Alerts
Hello friends,
A member of the community approached me and asked me how to write an indicator that would achieve a particular set of goals involving comprehensive trend analysis, risk management, and session-based trading controls. Here is one example method of how to create such a system:
Core Strategy Components
Multi-Moving Average System - Uses configurable MA types (EMA, SMA, SMMA) with short-term (9) and long-term (21) periods for primary signal generation through crossovers
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter - Optional trend confirmation using a separate MA (default 50-period) to ensure trades align with broader market direction
Band Power Indicator - Dynamic high/low bands calculated using different MA types to identify price channels and volatility zones
Advanced Signal Filtering
Bollinger Bands Volatility Filter - Prevents trading during low-volatility ranging markets by requiring sufficient band width
RSI Momentum Filter - Uses customizable thresholds (55 for longs, 45 for shorts) to confirm momentum direction
MACD Trend Confirmation - Ensures MACD line position relative to signal line aligns with trade direction
Stochastic Oscillator - Adds momentum confirmation with overbought/oversold levels
ADX Strength Filter - Only allows trades when trend strength exceeds 25 threshold
Session-Based Trading Management
Four Trading Sessions - Asia (18:00-00:00), London (00:00-08:00), NY AM (08:00-13:00), NY PM (13:00-18:00)
Individual Session Limits - Separate maximum trade counts for each session (default 5 per session)
Automatic Session Closure - All positions close at specified market close time
Risk Management Features
Multiple Stop Loss Options - Percentage-based, MA cross, or band-based SL methods
Risk/Reward Ratio - Configurable TP levels based on SL distance (default 1:2)
Auto-Risk Calculation - Dynamic position sizing based on dollar risk limits ($150-$250 range)
Daily Limits - Stop trading after reaching specified TP or SL counts per day
Support & Resistance System
Multiple Pivot Types - Traditional, Fibonacci, Woodie, Classic, DM, and Camarilla calculations
Flexible Timeframes - Auto-adjusting or manual timeframe selection for S/R levels
Historical Levels - Configurable number of past S/R levels to display
Visual Customization - Individual color and display settings for each S/R level
Additional Features
Alert System - Customizable buy/sell alert messages with once-per-bar frequency
Visual Trade Management - Color-coded entry, SL, and TP levels with fill areas
Session Highlighting - Optional background colors for different trading sessions
Comprehensive Filtering - All signals must pass through multiple confirmation layers before execution
This approach demonstrates how to build a professional-grade trading system that combines multiple technical analysis methods with robust risk management and session-based controls, suitable for algorithmic trading across different market sessions.
Good luck and stay safe!

Expanded Features of Mxwll Price Action Suite
Internal and External Structures
Internal Structures: These elements refer to the price formations and patterns that occur within a smaller scope or a specific trading session. The suite can detect intricate details like minor support/resistance levels or short-term trend reversals.
External Structures: These involve larger, more significant market patterns and trends spanning multiple sessions or time frames. This capability helps traders understand overarching market directions.
Customizable Sensitivities
Adjusting sensitivity settings allows users to tailor the indicator's responsiveness to market changes. Higher sensitivity can catch smaller fluctuations, while lower sensitivity might focus on more significant, reliable market moves.
Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH)
BoS: This feature identifies points where the price breaks a significant structure, potentially indicating a new trend or a trend reversal.
CHoCH: Detects subtle shifts in the market's behavior, which could suggest the early stages of a trend change before they become apparent to the broader market.
Order Blocks and Market Phases
Order Blocks: These are essentially price levels or zones where significant trading activities previously occurred, likely pointing to the positions of smart money.
HH/LH/LL/LH Areas: Identifying Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH) helps in understanding the trend and market structure, aiding in predictive analysis.
Rolling Timeframe Highs/Lows and Volume Comparisons
Tracks highs and lows over specified rolling periods, providing dynamic support and resistance levels.
Compares volume data across different timeframes to assess the strength or weakness of the current price movements.
Auto Fibonacci Levels
Automatically calculates and plots Fibonacci retracement levels, a popular tool among traders to identify potential reversal points based on past movements.
Session Data and Volume Intensity
Session Information: Displays current and upcoming trading sessions along with countdown timers, which is crucial for day traders and those trading on session overlaps.
Volume Intensity: Measures and compares the volume within the last 4 hours and 24 hours to gauge market activity and potential breakout/breakdown movements.
Visualizations and Practical Use
Dynamic Visuals: The suite provides dynamic visual aids, such as real-time updating of high/low markers and Fibonacci levels, which adjust as new data comes in. This feature is critical in fast-paced markets.
Strategic Entry/Exit Points: By identifying order blocks and using Fibonacci levels, traders can pinpoint strategic entry and exit points, maximizing potential returns.
Risk Management: Enhanced features like session countdowns and volume intensity help in better risk management by providing traders with more data on market sentiment and potential volatility.
ICT Seek & Destroy Profile [TFO]The goal of this indicator is to anticipate potentially "choppy" New York trading sessions, based on what price does during the Asia and London trading sessions. Based on some user-defined success criteria, we can also track how successful these warnings are.
Many Inner Circle Trader (ICT) students have noted that choppy New York sessions are often preceded by erratic London sessions which take both the high and low of the Asian range.
When this criteria is true and warnings are enabled, a table will automatically populate with a custom warning message for the duration of the NY session, indicating to the user that it could be a choppy trading day.
We can measure and track the success rate of these warnings via the following success criteria:
- NY stays within London range
- NY exceeds London high and low
- NY closes within London range
- NY range is too small
The first three criteria should be self explanatory - the NY range either stays within the London high & low, exceeds them both, or closes within them.
The last criteria is a measure of the New York range compared to a user defined standard deviation of all historical ranges (for the number of sessions that the current chart can load). The default value of 1.5 would imply that a "successful" S&D day could be if the NY range (from high to low) was less than or equal to 1.5 standard deviations of all past ranges.
All these options can be toggled on/off as well, for those that only want to consider certain success criteria and not others. When any of the selected success criteria are true, that essentially indicates that the current session's warning was successful.
RVOL - R4RocketRelative volume or RVOL for short is an indicator that is used to measure how 'In Play' the stock is. Simply put, it helps to quantify how interested everybody is in the given stock - higher the value, higher the interest and hence higher is the probability for movement in the stock.
I have tried to create RVOL (Relative Volume ) Indicator as per the description that I read on SMB Capital blog. The blog is a great resource.
...................................................................................................................................................................................
How to use the indicator - The indicator is meant for INTRADAY ONLY.
The indicator has following inputs -
1. RVOL Period - Value from 3 to 14 (Default Value = 4)
This is used to calculate the average volume over the given period of days. e.g. average volume for the last 5 days, last 3 days, last 10 days etc. NOTE - If you use higher RVOL Period on smaller timeframes, the code will give an error. So I recommend using 4 or lower for 5 min timeframe. (Nothing will work on 1 min chart and you can experiment for other timeframes.)
2. RVOL Sectional - True / False (Default Value = False)
If you check this box then you will be able to calculate the RVOL for a particular session (or between particular sessions) in that trading day.
What do I mean by session?
Well I have divided the trading day into 6 (almost) equally spaced sessions in time, i.e. 6 hours and 15 mins (for NSE - India) of trading day is divided into 1 hr - 1st session, 1 hr - 2nd session, 1 hr - 3rd session, 1 hr - 4th session, 1 hr - 5th session, 1 hr and 15 min - 6th session.
Before using 3rd and 4th inputs of indicator, RVOL Sectional box MUST BE CHECKED FIRST.
3. RVOL From Session - 1 to 6 (Default Value = 1)
4. RVOL To Session - 1 to 6 (Default Value = 2)
Now if you select 2 in "RVOL From Session" input and 3 in "RVOL To Session" input, the indicator will calculate RVOL for the 2nd and 3rd hour of the trading day. If you select 3 in both the inputs, then the indicator will give RVOL for the 3rd hour of the trading day.
5. RVOL Trigger - 0.2 to 10 (Default Value = 2)
Filter to find days having RVOL above that value. The indicator turns green (or colour of your choice) when RVOL is more than "RVOL Trigger".
...................................................................................................................................................................................
Hope this indicator will add some value in your trading endeavor.

Killzones & Previous High-Low Liquidity [odnac]This indicator is designed for use in intraday trading to visualize key "Killzones" (specific time windows during different global market sessions) and highlight liquidity levels based on previous highs and lows from the previous day and week.
It helps traders identify potential market entry and exit points based on time-based trading zones and price action levels.
Key Features:
Killzone (Market Session Timeframes):
Asia (2000-0000 UTC): Displays a shaded box over the Asia trading session.
Europe (0200-0500 UTC): Highlights the European trading session.
New York AM (0830-1100 UTC): Represents the morning session of the NY market.
New York PM (1330-1600 UTC): Represents the afternoon session of the NY market.
Each of these timeframes can be customized in terms of session start and end times, and the shaded areas will help identify high liquidity periods when the market tends to be more active.
Previous High-Low Liquidity Zones:
Previous Week's High/Low: Displays lines at the high and low of the previous week.
These are important liquidity levels that can influence price action.
Previous Day's High/Low: Shows the high and low from the previous trading day.
These are also significant levels to watch for potential support and resistance.
Filters and Customization:
Position Filtering: The indicator allows users to filter out previous highs or lows if the current price doesn't align with those levels.
For example, it can filter out previous week highs if the current price is lower than that level.
Vertical Lines: Optional vertical lines to highlight key time points such as the start and end of the previous week and day.
How It Works:
The indicator visually draws "killzones" as shaded regions on the chart, indicating periods of increased market activity.
This can help traders align their strategies with the most liquid periods of the day.
The previous high and low lines (both for the previous week and the previous day) are drawn as solid lines and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Labels are added to indicate the specific levels and periods.
The indicator provides clear visual cues, helping traders assess if the price is near important liquidity levels and whether the current market conditions align with those levels.
Customizable Settings:
You can control whether each Killzone and liquidity level is shown on the chart.
Color customization for the various zones and lines is also available.
The indicator also lets you decide whether to hide weekend data, set time-frame limits, and choose whether or not to show vertical lines at the beginning and end of each trading session.
This indicator is aimed at traders who want to trade based on high-liquidity periods and understand where key support and resistance levels are likely to emerge based on previous price action.
NY 5M ORB-COMEX OpenThe indicator is designed to display dynamic and static key market levels, including Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels, Initial Daily Range (IDR), and other important session levels. It offers extensive customization to accommodate a variety of trading strategies and sessions, all while providing an adaptable user interface for traders to personalize their charts.
#### Key Features:
1. **Session Timings**:
- The script allows you to define regular and extended market hours. These timings can be adjusted using input fields for the market open range, session start, and session end times, with default settings for the U.S. stock market.
2. **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**:
- You can enable or disable lines for the High/Low (H/L) and Open/Close (O/C) of the first 5-minute candle, which are key for ORB strategies.
- Optional middle lines are provided for both H/L and O/C, offering additional reference points for price action.
3. **Multiple Plot Styles and Line Types**:
- The script includes customization for line styles (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted) and colors for ORB, IDR, and session markers, giving traders flexibility in visualizing key market levels.
4. **Dynamic and Static Levels**:
- Users can choose to display either dynamic or static lines for additional price levels that extend throughout the session. Dynamic levels automatically adapt based on the session’s high and low, while static levels are manually configured.
- These lines can also display labels with the option to turn on or off their visibility.
5. **Custom Time Zone and Session Adjustments**:
- The script offers full flexibility in adjusting session timings based on different time zones, which is crucial for global traders working in different markets.
6. **Background Shading**:
- You can add shading between high and low levels for a more visual representation of ranges during specific sessions (e.g., ORB or IDR), and customize the color and transparency of this background.
7. **Comex Open Indicator**:
- An additional feature highlights the Comex Open, with optional labels, making it useful for traders who follow commodities markets.
#### Known Issues:
- The indicator requires a chart with intraday time frames (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute) for accurate display.
- Extensive customization may lead to performance issues on lower-end machines or in high-frequency chart environments due to the number of drawn elements (lines, boxes, labels).
This indicator is suitable for advanced traders who need detailed control over their session timing and price level analysis, with multiple layers of customization for visualizing key market behaviors.
Long-Only Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with Pivot PointsIntraday Trading Strategy: Long-Only Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with Pivot Points
Background:
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is a popular long-only trading strategy that capitalizes on the early morning volatility in financial markets. It's based on the idea that the initial price movements during the first few minutes or hours of the trading day can set the tone for the rest of the session. The strategy involves identifying a price range within which the asset trades during the opening period and then taking long positions when the price breaks out to the upside of this range.
Pivot Points are a widely used technical indicator in trading. They represent potential support and resistance levels based on the previous day's price action. Pivot points are calculated using the previous day's high, low, and close prices and can help traders identify key price levels for making trading decisions.
How to Use the Script:
Initialization: This script is written in Pine Script, a domain-specific language for trading strategies on the TradingView platform. To use this script, you need to have access to TradingView.
Apply the Script: You can do this by adding it to your favorites, then selecting the script in the indicators list under favorites or by searching for it by name under community scripts.
Customize Settings: The script allows you to customize various settings through the TradingView interface. These settings include:
Opening Session: You can set the time frame for the opening session.
Max Trades per Day: Specify the maximum number of long trades allowed per trading day.
Initial Stop Loss Type: Choose between using a percentage-based stop loss or the previous candles low for stop loss calculations.
Stop Loss Percentage: If you select the percentage-based stop loss, specify the percentage of the entry price for the stop loss.
Backtesting Start and End Time: Set the time frame for backtesting the strategy.
Strategy Signals:
The script will display pivot points in blue (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5) and half-pivot points in gray (R0.5, R1.5, R2.5, R3.5, R4.5) on your chart.
The green line represents the opening range.
The script generates long (buy) signals based on specific conditions:
---The open price is below the opening range high (h).
---The current high price is above the opening range high.
---Pivot point R1 is above the opening range high.
---It's a long-only strategy designed to capture upside breakouts.
---It also respects the maximum number of long trades per day.
The script manages long positions, calculates stop losses, and adjusts long positions according to the defined rules.
Trailing Stop Mechanism
The script incorporates a dynamic trailing stop mechanism designed to protect and maximize profits for long positions. Here's how it works:
1. Initialization:
The script allows you to choose between two types of initial stop loss:
---Percentage-based: This option sets the initial stop loss as a percentage of the entry price.
---Previous day's low: This option sets the initial stop loss at the previous day's low.
2. Setting the Initial Stop Loss (`sl_long0`):
The initial stop loss (`sl_long0`) is calculated based on the chosen method:
---If "Percentage" is selected, it calculates the stop loss as a percentage of the entry price.
---If "Previous Low" is selected, it sets the stop loss at the previous day's low.
3. Dynamic Trailing Stop (`trail_long`):
The script then monitors price movements and uses a dynamic trailing stop mechanism (`trail_long`) to adjust the stop loss level for long positions.
If the current high price rises above certain pivot point levels, the trailing stop is adjusted upwards to lock in profits.
The trailing stop levels are calculated based on pivot points (`r1`, `r2`, `r3`, etc.) and half-pivot points (`r0.5`, `r1.5`, `r2.5`, etc.).
The script checks if the high price surpasses these levels and, if so, updates the trailing stop accordingly.
This dynamic trailing stop allows traders to secure profits while giving the position room to potentially capture additional gains.
4. Final Stop Loss (`sl_long`):
The script calculates the final stop loss level (`sl_long`) based on the following logic:
---If no position is open (`pos == 0`), the stop loss is set to zero, indicating there is no active stop loss.
---If a position is open (`pos == 1`), the script calculates the maximum of the initial stop loss (`sl_long0`) and the dynamic trailing stop (`trail_long`).
---This ensures that the stop loss is always set to the more conservative of the two values to protect profits.
5. Plotting the Stop Loss:
The script plots the stop loss level on the chart using the `plot` function.
It will only display the stop loss level if there is an open position (`pos == 1`) and it's not a new trading day (`not newday`).
The stop loss level is shown in red on the chart.
By combining an initial stop loss with a dynamic trailing stop based on pivot points and half-pivot points, the script aims to provide a comprehensive risk management mechanism for long positions. This allows traders to lock in profits as the price moves in their favor while maintaining a safeguard against adverse price movements.
End of Day (EOD) Exit:
The script includes an "End of Day" (EOD) exit mechanism to automatically close any open positions at the end of the trading day. This feature is designed to manage and control positions when the trading day comes to a close. Here's how it works:
1. Initialization:
At the beginning of each trading day, the script identifies a new trading day using the `is_newbar('D')` condition.
When a new trading day begins, the `newday` variable becomes `true`, indicating the start of a new trading session.
2. Plotting the "End of Day" Signal:
The script includes a plot on the chart to visually represent the "End of Day" signal. This is done using the `plot` function.
The plot is labeled "DayEnd" and is displayed as a comment on the chart. It signifies the EOD point.
3. EOD Exit Condition:
When the script detects that a new trading day has started (`newday == true`), it triggers the EOD exit condition.
At this point, the script proceeds to close all open positions that may have been active during the trading day.
4. Closing Open Positions:
The `strategy.close_all` function is used to close all open positions when the EOD exit condition is met.
This function ensures that any remaining long positions are exited, regardless of their current profit or loss.
The function also includes an `alert_message`, which can be customized to send an alert or notification when positions are closed at EOD.
Purpose of EOD Exit
The "End of Day" exit mechanism serves several essential purposes in the trading strategy:
Risk Management: It helps manage risk by ensuring that positions are not left open overnight when markets can experience increased volatility.
Capital Preservation: Closing positions at EOD can help preserve trading capital by avoiding potential adverse overnight price movements.
Rule-Based Exit: The EOD exit is rule-based and automatic, ensuring that it is consistently applied without emotions or manual intervention.
Scalability: It allows the strategy to be applied to various markets and timeframes where EOD exits may be appropriate.
By incorporating an EOD exit mechanism, the script provides a comprehensive approach to managing positions, taking profits, and minimizing risk as each trading day concludes. This can be especially important in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies, where overnight price swings can be significant.
Backtesting: The script includes a backtesting feature that allows you to test the strategy's performance over historical data. Set the start and end times for backtesting to see how the long-only strategy would have performed in the past.
Trade Execution: If you choose to use this script for live trading, make sure you understand the risks involved. It's essential to set up proper risk management, including position sizing and stop loss orders.
Monitoring: Monitor the long-only strategy's performance over time and be prepared to make adjustments as market conditions change.
Disclaimer: Trading carries a risk of capital loss. This script is provided for educational purposes and as a starting point for your own long-only strategy development. Always do your own research and consider seeking advice from a qualified financial professional before making trading decisions.
Range Projections [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to see how often price reached certain standard deviations from a selected time range. The inspiration for this was to study ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts regarding the Central Bank Dealer’s Range (CBDR), which is 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm New York local time according to ICT Core Content. However, the idea and data collection could certainly be applied to any range of time.
The main settings of this indicator are session time, range type, and the standard deviation filter. The session time is the window of price that will be utilized for range projections. The range type can be either body or wick (on the current timeframe). The standard deviation filter is used to eliminate sessions whose ranges (from high to low) are greater than the desired/input number of standard deviations from all available session ranges.
In this example, the time range is set to 16:00 - 20:00, or the time between the New York session close and the Asia session open. Our standard deviations are set to 1, 2, 2.5, and 4. Now, by taking this session’s price range and extrapolating these extensions from the initial range, we can use these levels to see if and how price interacts with them before the next 16:00 - 20:00 session.
Furthermore, we can enable the Data Table to analyze how often price trades to these levels for the sessions that are deemed valid (determined by the standard deviation filter). This time our standard deviations are set to 1, 2, 3, and 4.
This concept can theoretically be applied to any window of time. ICT has mentioned that, in instances where the CBDR is too large, the Asia range may be used instead. We can observe that the indicator behaves the same way when we change the session to the Asia range, 20:00 - 00:00.
Murder Algo Stats: last portion of Indices closing hour (S&P)Stats regarding the 'murder algo' (last 10mins of the closing hour). Works on all sub-1hr timeframes. Best used on 5min, 10min 15min timeframe. Ideal use on 10min timeframe.
Can be applied to other user input sessions also
What i'm calling the 'Murder Algo' is the tendency of dynamic lower time frame price action in the final 10minutes of the S&P closing hour (or any of the three major US indices: S&P, Nasdaq, Dow).
If there are un-met liquidity targets (i.e. clean highs or lows) as we come into the last portion of the closing hour, price has a tendency to stretch up or down to reach these targets, swiftly.
These statisitics are somewhat experimental/research; trying to quantify this tendency. Please comment below if you think of some additions / modifications that may prove useful.
//Purpose:
-To get statistics of the tendency to 'reach' of the final bar (10minute bar in the above) of the closing hour in Indices (3pm - 4pm NY time).
-Specifically to see how often price reaches for HH or LL in the final bar of the closing hour (most of the time); and to see how far it reaches one way when it does (Mean, median, mode).
//Notes:
-Two sets of historical stats; one is based on the 'solo reach' of the last bar; the other is based on the reach of the last bar from the average price of the preceding bars of the session (purple line in the above)
-Works on any timeframe below hourly. Ideally used on 10min timeframe, but may be interesting to plot on 15min or 5min timeframe also.
-Should also work on custom user-defined session; though this indicator was explicly designed to investigate the 'murder algo': that final rush and/or whipsaw tendency of price in the last few minutes of Regular trading on Indices.
-For S&P, best used on SPX, which gives the longest history of all the S&P variants due to only showing Regular trading hours bars (500 days of history on 10min timeframe, for premium users)
-For most stats, i've rounded to ES1! mintick (i.e. rounded to nearest quarter dollar) =>> This allows more meaningful values for 'mode' statistical measure.
-I trade S&P; but this 'muder algo' phenomenon also obviously presents in Nasdaq and Dow.
//User Inputs:
-Session time input (defaults to closing hour 3pm - 4pm NY time)
-Average method (for the average of all the input session EXCEPT the final bar)
-Toggle on/off Average line.
-other formatting options: text color, table position, line color/style/size.
Example usage with annotations on SPX 500 chart 15m timeframe; using closing hour (3pm-4pm NY time) as our session:
