ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version
This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps.
### 🔍 **What It Does**
- Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts:
- AM Macro (09:50–10:10)
- London Close (10:50–11:10)
- Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30)
- PM Macro (14:50–15:10)
- London SB (03:00–04:00)
- PM SB (15:00–16:00)
- Each zone:
- **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session.
- **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries.
- **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional).
- **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
- Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color.
- Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context.
- High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window.
- Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place.
- All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts.
### 🛠️ **Settings**
- **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box.
- **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends.
- **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session.
### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique**
Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool:
- Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times.
- Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows.
- Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies.
Perfect — based on your list, here's a **bundle-style description** that not only explains the function of each script but also shows how they **work together** in a Smart Money/ICT workflow. This kind of cross-script explanation is exactly what TradingView wants to see to justify closed-source mashups or interdependent tools.

First FVG Custom Time Range
**Purpose:**
Plots the **first Fair Value Gap (FVG)** that appears within a defined session (e.g., NY Kill Zone, Custom range). Includes optional retest alerts.
**Best Used With:**
- Use with **ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version)** to isolate FVGs during high-probability times like AM Macro or PM SB.
- Combine with **Liquidity Levels** to assess whether FVGs form near swing points or liquidity voids.
---
ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OB s
**Purpose:**
Detects **liquidity grabs** (stop hunts above/below swing highs/lows) and **bullish/bearish order blocks**. Includes optional Fibonacci OTE levels for sniper entries.
**Best Used With:**
- Use with **ICT Turtle Soup (Reversal)** for confirmation after a liquidity grab.
- Combine with **Macro Zones** to catch order blocks forming inside timed macro windows.
- Match with **Smart Swing Levels** to confirm structure breaks before entry.
ICT SMC Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows)
**Purpose:**
Automatically marks swing highs/lows based on user-defined lookbacks. Tracks whether those levels have been breached or respected.
**Best Used With:**
- Combine with **Turtle Soup** to detect if a swing level was swept, then reversed.
- Use with **Liquidity Grabs** to confirm a grab occurred at a meaningful structural point.
- Align with **Macro Zones** to understand when liquidity events occur within macro session timing.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)
**Purpose:**
Implements the classic ICT Turtle Soup model. Looks for swing failure and quick reversals after a liquidity sweep — ideal for catching traps.
Best Used With:
- Confirm with **Liquidity Grabs + OBs** to identify institutional activity at the reversal point.
- Use **Liquidity Levels** to ensure the reversal is happening at valid previous swing highs/lows.
- Amplify probability when pattern appears during **Macro Zones** or near the **First FVG**.
ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2
**Purpose:**
An enhanced, multi-layer version of the Turtle Soup setup that includes built-in liquidity checks, OTE levels, structure validation, and customizable visual output.
**Best Used With:**
- Use as an **entry signal generator** when other indicators (e.g., OBs, liquidity grabs) are aligned.
- Pair with **Macro Zones** for high-precision timing.
- Combine with **First FVG** to anticipate price rebalancing before explosive moves.
---
## 🧠 Workflow Example:
1. **Start with Macro Zones** to focus only on institutional trading windows.
2. Look for **Liquidity Grabs or Swing Sweeps** around key highs/lows.
3. Check for a **Turtle Soup Reversal** or **Order Block Reaction** near that level.
4. Confirm confluence with a **Fair Value Gap**.
5. Execute using the **OTE level** from the Liquidity Grabs + OB script.

yatofxDescription: "Ramon Coto's 3 Session Bar Color" Indicator
This TradingView Pine Script indicator colors candlestick bars based on three custom trading sessions. It allows traders to visually distinguish different market timeframes on their charts.
Features:
Three configurable trading sessions with user-defined time ranges.
Customizable session colors:
Session A → Blue
Session B → Red
Session C → Lime
Enable/disable sessions independently using input toggles.
Automatic session detection: Bars are colored based on the active session.
Optimized for TradingView Mobile & Desktop with clear and efficient logic.
How It Works:
1. User Inputs: The script takes session time ranges and enables/disables each session.
2. Session Detection: The script checks whether the current time falls within any of the defined sessions.
3. Bar Coloring: If a session is active, the corresponding color is applied to the bars.
This indicator helps traders quickly recognize which market session they are in, improving decision-making for session-based strategies.
Exchange and Symbol by BULL┃NETThe B | N EXSY (Exchange and Symbol by BULL | NET)
indicator provides traders using CFD brokers with the most significant price and time events from the stock exchange of the underlying original index or security. For example traders are able to easily identify the price at the Daily Open and Close time of up to three additional stock exchanges. Traders can choose from a huge list of options including the values from the current and previous Day, Week, Month and Year. In addition traders can enable the display of the Expected Move by either implied or historical volatility. The indicator can show Open Gaps (gap between close and open of two trading sessions) also which traders would usually see only on the original chart of an index or security.
The B | N EXSY indicator can help traders to make better entry decisions based on the real market sessions.
█ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER – READ BEFORE YOU USE ⚠️
█ CONCEPTS
CFD Brokers allow you to trade many indices, securities and assets up to 24 hours per day and 7 days per week (24/7). Other than Crypto Assets indices and securities get the highest transaction volume during the session of a stock market. Most importantly while its “Home Stock Market” is open.
For example the NASDAQ or S&P500 will see the highest volume during the business hours of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) between 9:30am and 4:00pm (America New York Time). Most CFD Providers however will open their Trading session approximately 9.5 hours before the NYSE opens and even 2 hours before Japan and Australia open the markets.
The German DAX on the other hand is listed on the Deutsche Börse Xetra which is open from 9:00 to 17:00 (Europe Berlin Time). CFD Brokers will open the DAX for trading differently between 9 and 5.5 hours before the XETRA opens.
Therefore most available indicators for visualizing the day open will show different results. Traders at Broker A will tell a totally different story than traders at Broker B who opened 3 hours later.
Furthermore people trading the NASDAQ often keep an eye on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) as well and those trading the NIKKEI often watch the NYSE besides its home at the Japan Exchange Group (JPX).
Advanced traders know about the importance of those information and I have seen thousands of charts where people draw horizontal lines to mark the open and closing prices as well as the session highs and lows. They do it every day and often for different indices and securities. A time consuming job.
Here is where B | N EXSY steps in to give traders objective information for Intraday trading (Daily timeframe and below). More or less automatically. Choose your primary stock exchange (e.g. the NYSE if you trade the NASDAQ) and optionally a second and third stock exchange you are interested in. Individually select the price events you like to see or keep the defaults. Make your own cosmetic decision on how you want the data to be displayed. Save your chart and you will never have to draw a horizontal line again to see the High of the current session, the Low of last week, the monthly Open or yesterdays Close. Sharing ideas with other traders in the chat groups will be easy because everyone is relying on the same information. Even across different CFD Brokers (with slightly different prices of course). Your Technical Analysis can become much more efficient.
█ FEATURES
B | N EXSY is highly customizable. The default settings are optimized for the NASDAQ during the NYSE session. Following you get an overview of all options in the settings menu.
— LOWER TIMEFRAME
The “Lower Timeframe in Minutes” defaults to 30 minutes and should work with most CFD Brokers and stock exchanges. If not you will get a huge warning on the chart suggesting different settings. If e.g. a CFD Broker opens the Dax session at 3:15 but the XETRA opens at 9:00 you have to change the setting to 15.
— STOCK EXCHANGE
Primary is mandatory and defaults to NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) which is the home of the NASDAQ, the S&P 500, the Dow Jones and many others. Usually you select the home stock exchange of the instrument you trade. E.g. XETRA for the DAX, JPX for the NIKKEI or HKEX for the HANG SENG.
The Second and Third stock exchange is optional and defaults to NONE. If e.g. you trade Nvidia with NYSE as the primary stock exchange and you are interested in the High and Low of the European Session select LSE (London Stock Exchange) or XETRA (Deutsche Börse Xetra) as the second stock exchange. By default the indicator will show only information about the current day and week for the second and third stock exchange but you can change that later.
— VISUALIZE SESSIONS
Beginners and less advanced traders sometimes want to see the time span of a session. By default this feature is disabled because it adds more noise to the chart. You can select each of the three stock exchanges individually and select your preferred color.
— CUSTOM STOCK EXCHANGE
Whether your preferred Stock Exchange is missing in the dropdowns or you have a special purpose (see the HOW TO USE section) you can add your own ”Stock Exchange” to the chart.
Name and Country are optional and get displayed in tooltips only. Opening, Closing and Timezone are important. Enter the Open and Close time as HOUR:MINUTE in 24 hour notation (22:00 instead of 10:00pm). The timezone can be provided as time offset in GMT or UTC notation (e.g. GMT+2 or UTC-5) or as a time zone name listed in the IANA Time Zone Database ( e.g. "America/New_York" or “Europe/Berlin”). If you do it wrong the indicator will give wrong results or don’t work at all.
— EXPECTED MOVE IMPLIED VOLATILITY
With this setting you can enable the calculation and display of the Expected Move (EM). Option and Future traders should be familiar with this feature. Those who never heard about should read about it on the internet. Your favorite search engine will provide you with lots of information about it.
After enabling the feature you have to select a source to calculate the EM. The drop down menu contains popular sources and are named after the indices they are based on. It is crucial that the setting match the index, symbol or asset you are trading. If e.g. you are trading a CFD for the NASDAQ you have to select Nasdaq as source. Wrong settings will lead to wrong calculations.
If the source you need is missing you select manually and enter the implied Volatility in the field “Value for manual calculation”. If e.g. you trade the Nikkei you have to enter the current value of the JNIV manually because it is not listed at TradingView so I can’t add it.
The other settings control the Line Color and Style, the Label Color and Size as well as the Text Color.
The indicator will display the EM+ and EM- as well as the 2 and 3 Sigma EM +/-. On the Daily Chart it will display the Weekly Expected Moves. On any timeframe below you will get the Daily Expected Moves.
— EXPECTED MOVE HISTORICAL VOLATILITY
Other than the feature above, this one calculates the EM based on historical volatility.
After enabling the feature you have to enter the amount of days to look back to calculate volatility. Like you would do for a SMA, EMA or RSI. The default is 10 days. Depending on what asset you trade you might play a little with this setting.
The other settings control the Line Color and Style, the Label Color and Size as well as the Text Color.
Like with the Expected Move Implied Volatility this setting will show weekly data on the daily timeframe and daily information on intraday timeframes.
— LABEL AND LINE COSMETICS
The settings in this section control how lines and labels get positioned on the chart and which information the labels show.
● Bar Offset
The bar offset controls the horizontal distance to the last bar on the chart where lines end. By default it is “2” bars to the right. If you use other indicators which show information on the right side you can increase this value to avoid overlapping.
● Bar Anchor
The bar anchor controls where lines start. Default is “lastbar”.
Lastbar sets the start of lines to the last bar of the chart. This provides a very clean chart without lines crossing bars to the left.
Moving sets lines to start at the bar at which the price event occurred. The line for the daily open (DO) price will stay at the opening bar of the stock market and it will do so when it becomes the previous day open (PDO) the next day. The line that marks the session High (DH) will be anchored to the highest bar while the stock market is open. Therefore it might be moving with the advancing chart. The same counts for the session Low (DL). The next day these lines become the previous day high or low (PDH / PDL) and stay at the highest/lowest bar from the day before. This logic is forwarded to all other lines (weekly, monthly, yearly). This gives traders a quick orientation on which bar a price event occurred but a less clean chart.
If you choose Day as bar anchor all lines will start at the beginning of the Brokers trading session in which the price event took place. This is also true for the roll over event when e.g. the Week Open (WO) will become the Previous Week Open (PWO) next Week. Unlike the “moving” setting the new WO and PWO will be anchored to the beginning of the Week. Traders will have a box like view into the past.
● Label Distance Divisor
This setting is used to calculate the minimum vertical distance of labels in means of price points. The internal formular takes the day close price and divides it by the number entered in this field. If e.g. the daily closing price was 5000 the minimum vertical distance would become 1 price point if you enter 5000 for this setting. If the price difference of two events would then be less than 1 the labels would be positioned higher and lower to prevent overlapping. The default value is fine for the Nasdaq (~ 19000 / 5000 = 3.8 at the time of writing). For other indices, securities and assets you should change the divider to your likings or as needed to set the trigger for repositioning labels.
● Distance Modifier
This setting is used to control the vertical shift of the label. The default of Zero disables the setting and activates an internal function which makes a decision based on the used timeframe on the chart (0.1 less than m30, 0.5 from m30 to h4, 0.75 above h4 and 1 for daily). The logic takes the minimum vertical distance and multiplies it by the distance modifier.
In the example above for the label distance divider a label would shift by 1.9 price points on a 30 minute chart if two lines trigger the minimum vertical distance. On the upper line the label moves up and on the lower line it moves down. If three lines are too close to each other the label in the middle does not get moved. If more lines break the minimum distance some labels will overlap until the price is advancing. Those events happen most likely during the opening of a stock exchange.
Price events with equal price, e.g. Day and Week Open at the start of a new week or Day, Week, Month, Year High in the event of a new ATH will get lined up (stacked) horizontally.
While this cosmetic corrections have limits overlapping can be reduced to a minimum.
● Show Price
● Show Exchange
Labels can show up to three information. The price, the stock exchange and the event. The event however can’t be disabled. If you select both options you will see something like
5347.84 for the Day Close of the S&P 500 on the New York Stock Exchange
With this two settings you can disable the display of price and/or stock exchange.
If you have chosen to use more than one stock exchange the setting for “Show Exchange” will be ignored. Otherwise you would not know which Day Close (DC) or Day High (DH) belongs to which stock exchange
● Enable Tooltip
If you decide to hide the price and/or exchange on the label it can be useful to get this information in a tooltip while hovering with the mouse over the label. On the contrary it might become annoying with labels popping up if you have a nervous mouse finger. The feature is disabled by default.
● Equalize Label Size
The size of labels is one of the most discussed issues. Some say it is too small other say it is too big. Label size matters on different devices. “Normal” labels can be too large on a smartphone and too small on a 4k display. And the size is crucial for the automatic horizontal stacking of labels. You simply can’t line up a small, normal and large label in Pine Script (the programming language at TradingView). The stacking is done by prepending labels with spaces to shift them to the right.
This setting overloads all individual size settings for the price events below and activates the automatic horizontal stacking of labels with equal price. It is a convenient way to change the size of all labels with one click in case you have different layouts for different devices.
If you disable this feature you can set the label size individually but you lose the horizontal stacking. This can be useful for traders who display only a few price events or for educational purpose where you want to point out a special event.

— GAPFINDER
If you look at the original charts of an index (not the CFD Broker chart) you will see mostly every day a price difference between the closing price of the last session and the opening price of the current session. There are many names for those gaps. I call them Open Gaps or Kassa Gaps. Advanced traders know the market tends to close those gaps more or less quickly. Which is one more reason to know where the real previous day close was.
There are market conditions where those gaps are not closed within the new session. Those gap leftovers will usually be closed in the future. Some earlier, some later. If those gaps get more and more you quickly lose track and if the time comes to close one of the gaps you might not remember or recognize the price has reached an old gap. The charts of CFDs don’t even show such gaps due to the fact they trade nearly 24 hours per day.
The Gapfinder will display such leftovers after the end of the next session. If e.g. the previous day close was at 18000 and the market opens the next session at 18200 we have an Open Gap of 200 price points. If the Low of this session is 18100 after the session closes there would be rest gap of 100 price points. The Gapfinder then would mark it with a rectangle colored according to the direction of the Gap.
Bullish gaps result from an opening price (DO) and the current Day Low (DL) being higher than the previous day close (PDC).
Bearish gaps arise from an opening price (DO) and the current Day High (DH) being lower than the previous day closing price (PDC).
If you like you can change the color for the gaps and the text color.
— MISCELLANEOUS
To streamline the appearance of prices they are set to display two decimals only. Numbers get rounded! However, trading currency pairs or crypto assets might need to display the full amount of decimals. In that case simply disable the setting “2 Decimals”.
By default the indicator will display a small table in the lower right corner of the chart. It contains information about the current symbol, the selected primary stock exchange and the volatility. If you don’t like or need it you can disable it.
The “Unreliable Data” checkbox usually should not affect you. But if it does it can be really helpful. The B | N EXSY indicator uses Lower Timeframe Data to match CFD Broker and Stock Exchange opening times. If e.g. a CFD Broker opens at 0:00 and the stock exchange at 9:30 the script uses data from the 30 Minutes timeframe if you view the chart at any timeframe higher than 30 Minutes. Why? Because if you chose a four hours timeframe there is simply no bar that starts at 9:30 in this case. The CFD brokers h4 bars will start at 0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00 and so on.
Sometimes the data stream of the Broker and TradingView get out of sync and a 4 hour bar eventually returns just 6x 30 Minutes instead of 8. During development of the indicator I came across of at least two brokers with such an issue. Only in one time frame and a specific period of time. If this happens the price information might be wrong. A Day High might be to low, a Day Close missing or the Day Open not be found. In such cases your trade might fail. To prevent such situations the indicator performs a daily consistency check at 12:00 during the session for an exchange in its time zone if this option is enabled.
In case the data are found unreliable you will see a label above the bar with further information in the tooltip of the label. You should than compare the information from this timeframe with the lower timeframe selected in the field below. Anway, it is a rare issue and if you, like me, work on multiple timeframes in parallel this bug probably won’t affect you.
— HOLIDAYS
● Holidays
If there is a holiday on a stock market the original chart of an index will simply show no bars for that day. CFD Broker charts will only show no bars if it is an international holiday or the broker itself is affected by the holiday. Take for example Memorial Day in the U.S. Although the NYSE is closed you can trade e.g. the NASDAQ until around 17:30 European Time which is the closing time of the LSE and XETRA. Unfortunately the closing time in Europe is after the opening time in the U.S. If the price goes up in the overlapping time you eventually see a new Weekly High (WH) if you rely on the chart of the CFD Broker. To avoid such misleading information the B | N EXSY indicator allows you to enter holidays for each stock market individually. If the indicator finds a holiday it will not store or add data for this day.
By default there are already the market holidays entered for the NYSE, XETRA, FSX and LSE in 2024. If you want to add your own holidays you have to follow some simple rules:
1. The entry must start in a new line below existing entries (carriage return)
2. The entry starts with the shortcut of the stock exchange exactly as you see them in the dropdown menu.
3. The stock exchange gets separated from the holidays with a colon (:)
4. Each holiday is entered as YYYY-MM-DD
5. Holidays get separated with a single whitespace
The entry for the Japan Exchange Group (JPX) in 2025 would start with:
JPX: 2025-01-01, 2025-01-02, 2025-01-03, 2025-01-08
Completed by the rest of the holiday.
If you make your own entries please keep a copy of the line you added because it will be replaced by the defaults if the indicator gets an update. Best practices would be to provide your holiday string in the comment section and I add it as a default.
● Early Close
Some stock exchanges close the market early before some holidays. In that case the indicator won’t be able to fetch the closing price for that day and the daily roll over won’t work for the day after the holiday. To prevent chaos you can enter the days with early close in this field.
By default the early closing days of the NYSE are already entered. If you want to add your own early closing days you have to follow some simple rules:
1. The entry must start in a new line below existing entries (carriage return)
2. The entry starts with the shortcut of the stock exchange exactly as you see them in the dropdown menu.
3. The stock exchange gets separated from the days with a colon (:)
4. Each early closing day is entered as YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM where HH-MM is the closing time of this day entered in 24 hours format in the timezone of the stock exchange
5. Days get separated with a single whitespace
The entry for the day before Thanksgiving at the NYSE in 2025 would be:
NYSE:2025-11-25-13-00
This is because the market will close early at 1:00 PM on November 25, 2025, the day before Thanksgiving. The time is provided in 24-hour format as 13:00.

JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
NY Reversal Pattern StatsThe NY Reversal Pattern Stats indicator is a tool for identifying and analyzing specific price action patterns that occur during the New York trading session. Its goal is to highlight potential reversal or continuation opportunities that may arise from market manipulation or shifts in volatility within this key market window. Beyond simply identifying patterns, the indicator provides valuable historical statistics on their performance, helping traders evaluate their effectiveness.
Key Features
New York Session Highlighting: Clearly visualizes the defined New York trading session directly on your chart.
Automated Pattern Detection: Automatically detects two types of patterns within the New York session:
Manipulation Wick: Identifies instances where price attempts to push significantly beyond a recent session extreme but is rejected, resulting in a wick with the close returning to the original side.
Low Volatility Reversal: Detects price interaction with a recent session extreme where the resulting candle shows lower-than-average volatility, suggesting potential exhaustion or a reversal point.
Pattern Confirmation Tracking: Tracks whether a detected pattern leads to a follow-through move based on a defined confirmation rule (currently, price returning to the session midpoint).
Comprehensive Statistics Table: Displays a detailed table on the chart summarizing:
Total patterns observed.
Number of patterns that were confirmed.
Success and failure rates.
Maximum losing streak.
Statistical relevance metrics (Sigma, Z-Score, P-value) to help assess if the observed success rate is likely due to chance.
A clear description interpreting the statistical relevance and pattern performance (more often right/wrong).
Customizable Visuals: Allows users to control the appearance of the session background and pattern labels.
Alerts: Provides options to set alerts when a new pattern is detected or when a detected pattern is confirmed.
How to Use the Indicator
Add to Chart: Apply the "NY Reversal Pattern Stats" indicator to your desired chart in TradingView.
Configure Inputs: Open the indicator's settings to customize the parameters:
Session Time Definition: Set the exact start hour, minute, and duration (in hours) for the New York session you wish to analyze. Use the "NY Time" inputs (e.g., 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM for Indices, 5:00 AM - 9:00 AM for Forex). The indicator uses the "America/New_York" timezone to handle Daylight Saving Time.
NY Session Visuals: Choose whether to display the session background and pattern labels, and customize their colors.
Pattern Detection: Adjust the sensitivity of the Manipulation Wick threshold and configure the settings for the Low Volatility Reversal pattern detection (enable/disable, ATR length, volatility factor).
Confirmation: Enable or disable the session midpoint confirmation criterion.
Show Statistics Table: Toggle the visibility of the statistics table.
Interpret the Chart: Observe the highlighted New York session windows and the labels indicating detected and confirmed patterns.
Analyze the Statistics Table: Refer to the statistics table for historical performance data.
Total Patterns: Indicates the sample size. More patterns generally lead to more statistically reliable results.
Confirmed/Failed: Shows the raw counts of successful and unsuccessful patterns based on the confirmation rule.
Success/Fail Rate (%): Provides the percentage of patterns that met or did not meet the confirmation criterion.
Statistical Relevance: Read the description provided in the table. It interprets the Z-Score and sample size to tell you if the observed success rate is statistically significant (i.e., unlikely to be just random chance).
Pattern Performance: Read the description indicating whether the pattern has historically been "More often right than wrong" or "More often wrong than right" based on the success rate.
Sigma / Z-Score / P-value: These are standard statistical measures. A higher absolute Z-Score and a lower P-value (especially below 0.05 or 0.01) suggest stronger statistical evidence that the pattern's success rate is different from a random 50/50 outcome.
Set Alerts: If desired, configure alerts to be notified when patterns are detected or confirmed, allowing you to potentially take action in real-time.
Interpretation of Results
High Success Rate + High Statistical Relevance: This combination suggests the detected pattern, as defined and confirmed by the indicator, has historically shown a consistent edge within the specified New York session window, and this performance is unlikely due to random chance.
High Success Rate + Low Statistical Relevance: The pattern has performed well in the observed data, but the sample size might be too small for high confidence that this performance will continue.
Low Success Rate + High Statistical Relevance: The pattern, as defined, has historically shown a tendency to fail more often than succeed, and this underperformance is statistically significant.
Low Statistical Relevance (Regardless of Success Rate): The sample size is insufficient to draw strong conclusions about the pattern's effectiveness. More historical data is needed.
Remember that past performance is not indicative of future results. Statistical analysis provides insights into historical tendencies, but trading decisions should always involve a comprehensive analysis and risk management plan.
Limitations
Timeframe Dependency: The pattern detection and session high/low accumulation operate on the chart's current timeframe. It does not specifically analyze only the 4-hour candles as might be implied by "4H Candle Profiling Patterns".
Confirmation Criterion: The confirmation rule is fixed to price returning to the session midpoint. If your strategy uses a different confirmation or target, this indicator's statistics may not directly reflect its performance.
No London/Asia Filter: The indicator does not check the performance or characteristics of the London or Asia sessions to filter for instances where "London and Asia Fail".
Potential Timezone Compiler Issues: While the code uses standard v6 timezone handling, some specific TradingView environments may exhibit unexpected behavior with timezone strings, potentially affecting the precise timing of the session boundaries.
This indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing specific price action patterns during the New York session. By understanding its inputs, outputs, and limitations, traders can gain valuable insights into potential trading opportunities.
SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
BRT Cluster VolumeTitle and Purpose
BRT Cluster Volume is a powerful market analysis tool designed to identify key support and resistance levels, cluster volumes, and breakout signals. This script is highly beneficial for traders who aim to gain deeper insights into market trends and pinpoint zones of interest for buyers and sellers.
Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels:
- The script automatically detects chart extremums by analyzing a specified number of bars on the left and right to form levels. This approach effectively identifies local highs and lows.
- The uniqueness of this implementation lies in its dynamic data processing. For each extremum, the "channel width" is calculated, allowing insignificant levels to be filtered out based on a user-defined minimum width. This method eliminates noise and ensures focus on critical levels.
- Extremum lines can be extended to the right (when enabled), allowing traders to track current price movements relative to historical levels.
2. Cluster Volume:
- The cluster analysis is based on lower timeframe data, providing precise identification of key zones of market participant activity. The script dynamically requests close prices and volumes from lower timeframes, calculates the average volume, and identifies levels where volumes exceed a defined threshold.
- The visualization of cluster volumes is unique: volumes exceeding the threshold are displayed as candles with customizable colors and markers. These indicators help traders identify zones of significant interest.
- Cluster volume is only displayed when it interacts with support or resistance levels, ensuring that the visualization remains precise and relevant for market analysis.
3. Breakout Signals:
- The script evaluates "breakout strength" for each breakout of support or resistance levels by comparing the current price with the level. This helps filter false breakouts and focus on significant price movements.
- Traders can select the source for breakout signals (close price or high/low), offering flexibility for various trading styles and strategies.
- By incorporating the concept of "maximum breakout strength," the script highlights only meaningful breakouts, ignoring minor fluctuations.
4. Integration of Trading Sessions:
- Extremum levels for major trading sessions (Asia, Europe, USA) are identified and labeled on the chart. This allows traders to see when significant price levels were formed during the day.
- The script uses timestamps to automatically detect session times, ensuring accuracy and minimizing manual adjustments.
5. Dynamic Data Updates:
- The script dynamically updates support and resistance levels in real time as new data becomes available. This feature is crucial for traders working in fast-moving markets.
- Outdated information (such as obsolete levels) is automatically removed to keep the chart clean and focused on relevant data.
6. Visualization of Activity Zones:
- Trend direction is visualized using color-coded candles based on cluster volumes. For instance, candles with volumes exceeding the average are highlighted with specific colors, helping traders quickly identify areas of heightened activity.
- The unique aspect of this visualization is that cluster volumes appear only in zones where they interact with breakout levels, providing an intuitive and streamlined presentation of critical data.
Usage
- Support and Resistance: Adjust the "Left Bars" and "Right Bars" settings to determine extremums. Use the "Channel Min Width" setting to filter out insignificant levels.
- Cluster Volume: Customize the analysis period and volume threshold to identify high-activity zones. Enable breakout clusters to see how volumes interact with breakouts.
- Session Extremums: Highlight significant levels for Asia, Europe, and US trading sessions to gain insights into market dynamics across different time zones.
- Breakout Signals: Configure the breakout strength and source (close or high/low) for precise signal detection.

TradeMaster ProTrading effectively requires a range of techniques, experience, and expertise. From technical analysis to market fundamentals, traders must navigate multiple factors, including market sentiment and economic conditions. However, traders often find themselves overwhelmed by market noise, making it challenging to filter out distractions and make informed decisions. To address this, we present a powerful indicator package designed to assist traders on their journey to success.
The TradeMaster indicator package encompasses a variety of trading strategies, including the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action) approach, along with many other techniques. By leveraging concepts such as price action trading, support and resistance analysis, supply and demand dynamics, these indicators can empower traders to analyze entry and exit positions with precision. Unlike other forms of technical analysis that produce values or plots based on historical price data, Price Action brings you the facts straight from the source - the current price movements.
The indicator package consists of three powerful indicators that can be used individually or together to maximize trading effectiveness.
⭐ About the Pro Indicator
The Pro indicator is the cornerstone of the package, offering a comprehensive range of functions. It's strength lies in our unique structure calculation, which is based on real price action data, capturing every ticks from small intraday fluctuations to the significant high timeframe movements. The Pro Indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
▸ What does proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example for structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.
👉 Usage - the general approach:
Determine your trading style using the Pro Indicator and build your basic strategy. This indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the Pro Indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
👉 Example of usage:
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.
👉 Smart Money Concepts Functions
Market Structure: identifies and marks key structural changes in the market, in order to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you of significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phase, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Blocks: pinpoints crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. Order blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key levels for potential trade entries or exits.
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps): detects discrepancies between the perceived market value and actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Liquidity Grabs: helps track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Automatic Fibonacci Tool: Simplifying the task of identifying key Fibonacci retracement and extension levels, this tool ties Fibonacci levels to the structure for you. It aids in recognizing significant support and resistance levels, providing a clearer understanding of potential price movements.
The Smart Money Concepts trading strategy - combined with these dynamic features - becomes a powerful analytical asset for any trader, providing in-depth insights into market dynamics, trends, and potential opportunities.
👉 Algorithmic trend and dynamic support and resistance
Trend Rainbow: This proprietary feature uses our unique TRMA** method to define short-term, medium-term, and long-term market trends. It incorporates state-of-the-art visualization techniques to render the trend information in an intuitive, easily interpretable manner. It's a 21st-century tool designed for the modern trader who values both precision and simplicity.
Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages: This feature allows traders to simultaneously monitor moving averages across multiple timeframes, providing a comprehensive perspective on market trends. It helps identify dynamic support and resistance zones, key levels where price movements are likely to slow down or reverse. This function not only aids in planning potential trade entries and exits, but also calculates the precise percentage distance to these levels. Can be as well crucial for risk management, enabling traders to set stop losses and profit targets based on solid, data-driven analysis. The Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages function is a versatile tool that combines strategic planning and risk control into a single, easy-to-use feature.
👉 Unlock the Hidden Market Dynamics
Market Sessions: This feature - by default - provides a clear representation of the four major global trading sessions. Each session is distinctly marked on your trading chart, helping you visualize the specific time periods when these markets are most active. Recognizing these sessions is critical for understanding market dynamics, as the opening and closing of major markets can lead to significant price movements. Whether you're a day trader looking to exploit intra-day volatility or a long-term investor wanting to understand broader market trends, the Market Sessions feature can be a useful tool in your trading toolkit.
Divergence Functions: allow the use of unique indicators along with our proprietary ones to detect potential price reversals. As each asset has a different market maker, divergences can vary greatly across different charts and timeframes. With our Divergence Ranking Table, you can quickly determine which divergences have the highest success rates and which are the least successful on a given chart. This feature allows you to adapt your strategies to the most effective signals, enhancing your trading decisions and boosting your potential profits.
Volume Profile with delta: This feature may give traders an edge by providing an in-depth view of market activity. It illustrates the amount of trading volume at different price levels, combined with the 'delta', which is the difference between buying and selling volume. This information allows you to see areas of high trading activity and understand whether the volume is pushing the price up or down. This real-time insight into the market's supply and demand can be instrumental in identifying key support and resistance levels, predicting potential reversals, and recognizing where the market is likely to move. Similarly to Fibonacci tool, Volume Profile can be tied to the current market structure.
👉 Improve Trading Decisions
Range: This innovative feature assists traders in determining discount, premium, and equilibrium zones. It provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones), and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Previous OHLC: This functionality offers the capability to display the previous Open, High, Low, Close values. It is primarily set on the daily timeframe and serves as an important reference for traders. Having an overview of these key levels from the previous day gives you a solid foundation on which to base today's trading decisions. Recognizing these levels can help you predict potential turning points in the market, providing an advantage in your trading strategy.
Smart Money Zones: our secret weapon for swing traders. Similarly to order blocks, these zones can accurately identify crucial areas of strong buying or selling interest by large institutional investors. However while Order Blocks focus on recent price action, Smart Money Zones take the whole chart into consideration, resulting in more established support and demand zones.
The summary graph combines six unique indicators (Momentum, Trend Strength, Volume, Volatility, Asset Strength, and Sentiment) along with Structure and Sessions. These indicators use our TRMA** method to provide a comprehensive overview of market dynamics. By consolidating these indicators into a single graph, traders can gain valuable insights into the overall market landscape.
** TRMA (Trend Rainbow Moving Averages) is a complex but customizable moving average matrix calculation that is designed to measure market trend direction, strength and shifting.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.
🛑 Risk Notice:
Everything provided by trademasterindicator – from scripts, tools, and articles to educational materials – is intended solely for educational and informational purposes. Past performance does not assure future returns.
X OROverview
Designed to plot hourly opening ranges (ORs) on an intraday chart. It primarily serves as a trading tool for assessing market direction and potential trading opportunities by analyzing price action relative to key OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) levels within each hourly range.
The code provided is for each hour sessions from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a complete session-based framework. In addition there is the RTH open range
Purpose
The core purpose of this indicator is to:
✅ Define each hourly range (based on the session’s opening bar) by recording the high and low of that range.
✅ Extend this range into the following bars for visual reference — serving as dynamic support and resistance zones.
✅ Monitor price action relative to each hourly OR, helping traders evaluate market direction and structure trades using concepts like:
Breakouts above/below the OR high/low.
Rejections or consolidations within the OR.
Continuation or reversal signals tied to each OR.
Key Features
The script marks the first bar of the session as the OR session start.
During this bar, it initializes:
Opening price
Session high
Session low
These levels form the initial range.
🔹 Dynamic Range Tracking
Throughout the one-minute OR session:
The highest and lowest prices are updated in real time, capturing intra-hour volatility.
A visual background box is drawn to highlight the OR range on the chart.
🔹 Range Extension
The script defines an extended session period after the initial OR (e.g., 2:00 AM-2:45 AM for the 2:00 AM session).
During this extension period:
The box persists on the chart, providing a contextual zone that traders can use as a dynamic support/resistance area.
🔹 Visual Representation
Transparent colored boxes highlight each session’s OR visually on the chart.
These boxes help traders easily identify whether price is trading:
Inside the OR
Breaking above the high (potential bullish continuation)
Breaking below the low (potential bearish continuation)
Application in Trading
🔍 Trading the Opening Range Breakout
Traders often use the OR high and low as breakout triggers. For example:
A price break above the OR high may signal bullish momentum.
A break below the OR low may signal bearish momentum.
⚖️ Support and Resistance
Even if breakouts fail, the OR can act as a pivot zone — offering areas for:
Stop placements
Target levels
Entry confirmations for fade trades or mean reversion strategies.
🕒 Session Awareness
By defining each hour’s OR individually (from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM), traders can:
Analyze price behavior within each session.
Recognize when liquidity or volatility increases (e.g. around overlapping sessions like London open or New York open).
Summary
This Pine Script indicator provides a powerful framework for visualizing and trading hourly opening ranges. It enhances intraday analysis by:
Structuring price action within hourly boxes.
Highlighting key price levels relative to OHLC concepts.
Helping traders make more informed decisions by assessing price behavior around these critical ranges.
Break of High/Low with Volume, MACD, and MAsHow It Works:
Sessions:
The London session is defined between 8:00 and 16:00 UTC.
The New York session is defined between 13:00 and 21:00 UTC.
Previous High/Low:
The script identifies the highest high and lowest low from the previous bar using ta.highest(high, 1) and ta.lowest(low, 1) .
Candle Body Size:
The script calculates the size of the current candle's body and checks if it is at least double the size of the previous candle's body.
Volume Check:
A high volume threshold is set as 1.5 times the 50-period SMA of the volume.
MACD Crossover:
The script calculates the MACD and its signal line and checks for bullish (buy) or bearish (sell) crossovers.
Signals:
A long signal (buy) is generated if the price breaks the previous high with a large body candle, high volume, and a bullish MACD crossover during the specified sessions.
A short signal (sell) is generated if the price breaks the previous low with a large body candle, high volume, and a bearish MACD crossover during the specified sessions.
Plotting:
The 50-period and 200-period moving averages, previous high, and previous low are plotted on the chart.
If a long condition is met, a "BUY" label is displayed below the bar. If a short condition is met, a "SELL" label is displayed above the bar.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered whenever the conditions for a long or short trade are met.
Customization:
Feel free to adjust the session times, volume threshold, MACD settings, or moving averages based on your trading strategy or the specific asset you are trading.
Price Action SuiteThe TRN Price Action Suite incorporates a treasure trove of time and price action concepts. It includes a set of trading tools that, when combined, allow for a more accurate view of the market. This enables traders to find high probability entry points before the market moves to the next liquidation level.
Features of the TRN Price Action Suite:
(Inverse) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Order Blocks (OB)
FVG and OB with Cumulative Volume Delta
Volume Imbalances
Market Structure
Liquidity levels
Sessions
Kill zones/Opening Range
The indicator helps traders to easily identify favorable market conditions and high probability trade setups. It automatically finds time and price action concepts and displays them in an intuitive way on the chart. One of the highlights is the detection of Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks in connection with Cumulative Volume Delta (approx.). You will not find this connection anywhere else.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap occurs when there are inefficiencies in the market or imbalanced buying and selling pressures. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Special attention should be paid to FVGs that are supported by support and resistance levels, as these offer a higher probability of success for trades. Additionally, the indicator plots inverse FVG (iFVG). These are FVG that are “closed” by a FVG in the other direction. IFVGs are a strong sign of the market to continue in the direction of the iFVG.
In addition to the FVGs you see on the chart, you can add also FVGs from a higher timeframe including the cumulative buy/sell volume. For this you can set “Timeframe 1” and “Timeframe 2” in the settings to your preferred timeframes. E.g. you trade on a 5-minute chart, and you want to see FVGs from 4 hours and a daily chart, then you set Timeframe 1 to 4 h and to Timeframe 2 to 1 D.
Order Blocks and Volume Imbalances can also be shown from higher timeframes.
Order Blocks (OBs)
Order blocks are areas on the chart where a high concentration of limit orders was found in the past. They can serve as potential support or resistance areas. These represent areas in the market where there is an oversupply (supply) or an excess demand (demand). They are often key zones for potential turning points or continuations of the current trend. A bullish OB, for example, is the last bearish candle before a significant uptrend.
FVGs and OBs with Cumulative Volume Delta
The TRN Price Action Suite can show FVGs and OBs with the corresponding Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It is a metric to analyze market dynamics by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volumes over a specific timeframe. It is used to determine the strength of the FVG/OB. The FVG/OB includes two bars on the left side, indicating the cumulative buy volume in green as well es the cumulative sell volume in red. At the right side of the FVG/OB box the ratio of the cumulative buy/sell volume is displayed. A high ratio over 1, for example 1.5, indicates a lot of buying pressure. On the hand, a ratio far below 1, for example 0.66, indicates a lot of selling pressure.
Volume Imbalances (VIBs)
Volume Imbalances indicate a price gap from the previous close, but unlike gaps, there is no absence of trading activity within a specific price range. Bullish VIs have opening and closing prices above the previous close, with overlap between the current low and previous high. Bearish VIs are vice versa.
Market Structure
The market structure represents the dominant trend in the market. It is based on swing highs and lows. For instance, if the price makes higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) the market structure represents an uptrend. Vice versa if price makes lower lows (LL) and lower highs (LH) the market trend is down.
If the market structure is up, traders can enter positions in a pullback. For this, a trader could use a FVG or an OB as an entry condition.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) (Change of Character (ChoCh))
A market structure shift occurs when the market transitions from one dominant trend to a different one, often signaling a potential change in the underlying market dynamics. A MSS signals the start of a new trend. It signals the change from an uptrend to a down trend and vice versa. Therefore, it is sometimes called change of character (ChoCh). A valid MSS should ideally occur in a strong supply or demand zone. This indicates that the market may be approaching a trend reversal or consolidation.
Break of Structure (BOS)
A break of structure happens when the market breaks out of its established trading range or pattern. The market continues its dominant trend, indicated by the last MSS.
In an uptrend, for example, each time the price breaks through a new high, a "bullish BOS" is formed. This indicates that the market can overcome previous resistance levels and continue to rise.
Levels
One core concept in trading is that price flows to areas of liquidity. Natural liquidity areas are the current day open, high, low (CDO, CDH, CDL) or the previous day high, low, close (PDH, PDL, PDC). The same is true for the current week (CWO, CWH, CWL) and the previous week (PWH, PWL, PWC).
Pay special attention in case some of these levels are close together. Then these levels serve like a magnet for the price. The TRN Price Action Suite indicator can cluster these levels fully automatically together to give the trader the flexibility to focus solely on the trading part.
Sessions
Sessions are the trading hours during which the banks are actively trading. The three main trading sessions:
Asia: Most of the volume from the Asian players are handled within this session.
London: This is where the European players are most active.
New York: In the New York session all the USA players are active as well as all the other American players. Furthermore, a lot of global players are active in this session as well.
Killzones
A kill zone in trading refers to a specific time period during the trading day when the market experiences increased volatility and liquidity. It is an opportunity for traders to capitalize on potential price movements and generate profits. There are several different killzones during the day.
There are three different types of killzones:
Indices/Futures: This one is suitable if you trade products like the ES, NQ, FDAX, CL or Stocks, Options.
Forex: If you trade Forex this setting will mark the most liquid periods of the day.
Opening Range: In case you trade the opening range of the sessions, use this setting.
Trading Example
Enhanced Volume Profile [TFO]The Enhanced Volume Profile analyzes volume by price to find potential inflection points that we can reference in future price action.
The volume profiles altogether are simply an estimation from price/volume data that TradingView is capable of providing. Below is an example of 1 day volume profiles. The left chart uses 50 rows for each profile, while the right chart uses 500 rows. As a result, the right chart is capable of providing much greater detail.
Profile Timeframe specifies the timeframe of the profile to be constructed. When set to 1 day for example, then each profile represents the price/volume data from 1 daily bar.
Resolution Timeframe is the timeframe of price/volume data used to construct the profile. Lower timeframes result in higher resolution, but also greater computation time.
Below is an example of 1 day volume profiles. Both charts are using 250 rows for every profile, but the left chart is using a 15m resolution timeframe, while the right chart is using a 1m resolution timeframe. The lower timeframe data on the right chart allows for greater detail than the left.
Volume Point of Control (VPOC) shows the price level where the most volume was traded during a given session. Show VPOCs will draw these levels on each volume profile, with the corresponding color. In the following chart, each solid blue line represents a VPOC for the corresponding session.
Extend Recent VPOCs will track the N most recent VPOC levels, and extend them to the right side of the chart for easy visual reference. Show VPOC Labels will annotate each VPOC extension with the date (and time, for lower timeframes) that each corresponding profile began. Below is an example where Extend Recent VPOCs and Show VPOC Labels are both enabled.
Show Previous HVN will show High Volume Nodes from previous sessions, and extend them until price trades through them. When a session ends, any new HVNs located above that close price will be red while any HVNs below will be green (default colors).
HVNs are validated with a strength parameter that compares the peak volume to its neighboring levels to determine local extremes, along with a percentile filter to optionally specify if valid nodes must contain a peak volume greater than X% of the volume traded at VPOC.
The same capabilities exist for Low Volume Nodes as well. Show Previous LVN will extend these Low Volume Nodes from previous sessions until price trades through them.
The default color scheme will color nodes proportionate to the individual session. For example, a HVN derived from VPOC would always result in the deepest possible color because the node's peak contains the highest volume traded for that session. Every lesser node would be colored lighter than this, proportional to that session's VPOC.
We can also choose to color these nodes in a way that reflects their relative volume compared to recent sessions. For HVNs, darker colors imply more volume was traded at said nodes while lighter colors imply less volume. In the following example, the left chart uses the session based color scheme while the right chart uses the historical color scheme.
Impact Zones - Skylyne InvestingWhat is the Impact Zone system:
The creation of Impact Zones started with our love for trading the Bond Market. Impact Zones were originally specifically tailored for the Bond market and now have been mastered to capture most of the Asset Classes out in the market today (Please look at Impact Zone Settings section for asset classes covered by this script). The Impact Zone system is a zone break (or market level break) following system with specific take profit points already established for you on the open of the market day (depending on your asset timing will vary).
*This script was designed for Intraday Trading, Long term or Swing Trading is not recommended with this system
The script will create buy and sell signals on the break of the Impact Zones when specific criteria is met along with the break of the zone. You do not have to use only our signals provided, you can also create your own trading rules based on our script.

Skylyne Overnight Session: Dark Blue (No Trade Zones)
Skylyne Signals: Buy / Sell
You can think of the Upper Zone as a bull zone and Lower zone as a bear zone, when price enters these zones we want to start watching price action to determine direction the market will take on the break or specified zone, whether it be a break and reversal or a break and run. This can be confirmed with either our signals (buy & sell) or the use of the dynamic support and resistance line (Skylyne Average).
Our script is written to capture market zones and place then on your screen with ease, we also have programmed in specific take profits and stop loss levels we have found the market respects on the intraday trading based on the Impact Zone captured.
The Impact Zones and Take Profit Levels change at Market open everyday. The levels provided will stay on your chart until the next Market open where the Impact Zones and Levels will change to accommodate that trading Day.
We recommend only using that trading days levels, however; using past levels can help trades depending on the case
The three Trades we want to highlight are:
1. Break of Impact Zones
a. This trade is taken when a break of the impact zone happens either in the positive or negative direction and traded to the next zone or take profit line (stop losses can be set with zones or the dynamic skylyne average crossovers)
2. Break of Skylyne Average
a. This trade is taken when price action confirms a bullish or bearish bias on the break of the average line (we would close this trade on the reverse break of the Skylyne Average using the zones as targets)
3. Break of the Skylyne Mid:
a. This trade is taken when a break of the Skylyne Mid level occurs and we use the upper and lower bounds of the Impact Zones as take profit and stop losses

Impact Zone Overnight Trading:
Impact Zone Overnight sessions are highlighted in a dark blue color and we use these highlighted time sessions as a NO TRADE session. Our system was built to be traded during normal market trading hours and overnight sessions tend to be less predictive in terms of direction and or zone reliance. If you choose to trade overnight sessions with Impact Zones, make sure you make a very in depth trading plan and stick to the rules set for yourself.
Impact Zone Signals:
1. Signals for buy or sell of the asset class happen on breaks of the Impact Zones, and when specific criteria are met that we determined necessary to evaluate the overall trend of the market
2. Not every break of the Impact Zones will trigger a signal
3. No signal will be generated during overnight sessions, we recommend studying overnight sessions before beginning to create your own overnight trading session plans based on Impact Zones
4. When a signal is generated you will use the next take profit line (purple line) in the direction of your trade you are in. Other trading signals were discussed above
5. If while you are in a trade and the skylyne average (orange line) is broke in the opposite direction of your trade you will take this as a dynamic stop, and in some cases a dynamic take profit
Impact Zone Charting Timeframes:
1. Recommendation of using the 1 minute chart aggregation bars to maximize profits and limit losses
2. The script has a default charting aggregation limit of 25 minutes, adjustments to the input (in the settings) to increase the aggregation limit need to be made in order to use higher than 25 minute timeframes
Charting Example:
First note is to notice how our publish example uses the 1-minute timeframe aggregation, this is because our script was written to maximize profit on the 1 minute time frame. The script can be used on any time frame, however; make sure that you increase the aggregation limit input when using timeframes above 25 minutes.
From the chart included in the script post, you can notice that buy and sell signals happen only when specified criteria is met, and not every time there is a crossover of the Impact Zones there is a signal. You do not only have to trade the buy and sell signals that our system provides, however; our team believes that these signals are one of the best ways to trade the Impact Zone script. If you deviate from only using signals provided and choose to use the Impact Zones differently, we recommend using the next level, or zone, in the direction of your trade as your take profit (As described in trade we want to highlight section)
legend fox concepts reversal 2.0
The Legend Fox Concepts Reversal is a comprehensive tool that integrates multiple trading elements, including Trading Sessions, Previous Daily and 4-Hour Levels, and the Imbalance Concept, into a single system designed to help traders identify potential reversal points. The indicator visually highlights these opportunities by generating clear signals, such as green arrows for bullish setups and red arrows for bearish setups. It is particularly effective when applied on shorter timeframes and works best in conjunction with trading futures products, helping traders anticipate market turning points with greater precision.
The indicator is comprised of four essential components, each designed to enhance the trader’s experience and adaptability:
1. Preset Method:
◦ Includes presets that plot Previous Daily and 4-Hour High/Low Levels on the chart, visually distinguished by orange and yellow colors. These levels can be configured in four distinct combinations to suit various trading styles, helping users identify key support and resistance zones. Traders have the option to enable or disable these levels based on their strategy, offering enhanced flexibility and clarity for analyzing potential price reactions.
2. Time Parameters:
◦ Allows users to define specific trading hours based on different financial market sessions worldwide. This component is segmented into four distinct parts, enabling users to customize session times to align with their preferred trading windows. Each segment is color-coded for visual clarity and can be independently enabled or disabled, offering precision in tracking session-specific price action and highlighting relevant market activity.
3. Profit Method:
◦ Supports up to four target price levels, defined in either Ticks or Standard Deviations. This feature is especially useful when trading multiple contracts, allowing for a structured approach to taking profits. Users can customize settings such as Distribution Width, Source of Mean, and Price Reference to standard deviations, tailoring the take-profit strategy to fit unique trading goals.
4. Imbalance Setup:
◦ Refers to the size of gaps between candles, an important factor in anticipating potential reversal signals. Depicted as gray for bullish and blue for bearish imbalances, users can modify the gap width, helping to fine-tune the timing of signals to detect reversals earlier or later depending on market conditions.
Use Case:
• Trading Session Setup:
The trading session is defined by the user as Asia (represented by yellow lines on the chart, with time set between 18:00 - 24:00) and London (depicted by blue lines, with time set between 24:00 - 7:00). This segmentation helps to visually differentiate and track the activity within each session.
• Daily Breach preset:
Next, the Daily Breach preset is applied by enabling the Previous Daily Candle High and Low levels to be displayed on the chart (marked by orange dashed lines). These levels serve as key reference points for potential breakouts or reversals.
• Contract Allocation and Take Profit Setup:
We have input the number of contracts to trade: using 4 contracts for the NQ (Nasdaq Futures). The take-profit levels are defined using ticks. For example, once TP1 is reached at 50 ticks, 2 contracts are closed, leaving the remaining 2 contracts to be closed at TP2, which is set at 100 ticks.
• No Trade Signal Detected:
In this instance, price did not hit any of the Previous Daily High or Low levels, so no trade signal was generated.
• Price Action During the London Session:
Price rallied during the London session, forming bullish imbalances marked by blue areas. It then hit a Previous Daily Level, reversed, and crossed back through the bullish imbalance, indicating a potential reversal. A sell signal was generated, shown as a red arrow, along with a pre-determined stop-loss and two take-profit levels. Additionally, a red dot below indicated a possible downward reversal.
• Successful Take Profit Execution:
Price reached both Target Price 1 and Target Price 2, completing the trade as expected.
By seamlessly integrating these components, the tool empowers users to customize their trading strategies by combining different elements to create unique setups that suit their individual trading styles. Additionally, various presets are available, along with comprehensive guidance on how to leverage the tool to its fullest potential.
90 Minute Cycles + MTFCredit goes to LuxAlgo for the inspiration from 'Sessions' which allowed users to analyse specific price movements within a user defined period with tools such as trendline, mean and vwap.
Settings
Sessions
Enable Session: Allows to enable or disable all associated elements with a specific user set session.
Session Time: Opening and closing times of the user set session in the hh:mm format.
Range: Highlights the associated session range on the chart.
Ranges Settings
Range Area colour: Set each range to a specific colour.
Range Label: Shows the session label at the mid-point of the session interval.
Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.
Enjoy!
OpeningRange (Trading_Tix)Purpose:
The indicator highlights the high, low, and middle (50%) price levels of a specified session's opening range. These levels can serve as key support and resistance zones for trading strategies. The indicator also offers options to extend these levels beyond the session into later timeframes, making it useful for tracking breakout or trend continuation setups.
Key Features:
1. Session Detection:
The indicator identifies a specific session period using the user-defined Session Time. It calculates the start time, high, and low prices during this period:
rangeTime: Defines the session time range (default: 5:00 PM to 2:59 AM).
extendTime: Defines the extended time range where lines/backgrounds can be prolonged.
2. Opening Range Calculation:
High (high_val) and Low (low_val)**:
Tracks the highest and lowest prices during the session.
Middle Line:
A midpoint is calculated by averaging high_val and low_val.
3. Visual Elements:
Horizontal Lines:
Drawn at the high, low, and middle levels.
Customizable in width and color.
Shaded Background Box:
Covers the range between high and low prices.
The box’s color and transparency can be adjusted.
Line and Box Extension:
Optionally extends these elements into the extended time range.
4. Customization:
Users have the flexibility to:
Toggle visibility of lines, middle line, and background box.
Adjust colors, line thickness, and style.
Enable or disable the extension of lines and backgrounds into the extended period.
How It Works:
Initialization:
The script initializes variables to store range data (startTime, high_val, low_val) and drawing objects (lines, boxes).
It detects whether the current bar falls within the session (inSession) or extended timeframe (inExtend).
Plotting:
During the session:
Deletes previous lines and boxes from prior sessions.
Draws new lines at the high, low, and middle levels.
Creates a background box covering the range, if enabled.
During the extended period:
Extends the session lines and box, if the user has opted for extensions.
Updates:
Continuously adjusts the high/low values and updates the lines as new price data arrives.
Use Cases:
This indicator can be valuable for traders who:
Use the opening range to identify potential breakout zones.
Trade based on price consolidation within the range.
Want a visual representation of key price levels to plan entries and exits.
