ICT NY Kill Zone Auto Trading### **ICT NY Kill Zone Auto Trading Strategy (5-Min Chart)**
#### **Overview:**
This strategy is based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, focusing on the **New York Kill Zone**. It is designed for trading GBP/USD exclusively on the **5-minute chart**, automatically entering and exiting trades during the US session.
#### **Key Components:**
1. **Time Filter**
- The strategy only operates during the **New York Kill Zone (9:30 AM - 11:00 AM NY Time)**.
- It ensures execution only on the **5-minute timeframe**.
2. **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) Detection**
- The script identifies areas where price action left an imbalance, known as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
- These gaps indicate potential liquidity zones where price may return before continuing in the original direction.
3. **Order Blocks (OBs) Identification**
- **Bullish Order Block:** Occurs when price forms a strong bullish pattern, suggesting further upside movement.
- **Bearish Order Block:** Identified when a strong bearish formation signals potential downside continuation.
4. **Trade Execution**
- **Long Trade:** Entered when a bullish order block forms within the NY Kill Zone and aligns with an FVG.
- **Short Trade:** Entered when a bearish order block forms within the Kill Zone and aligns with an FVG.
5. **Risk Management**
- **Stop Loss:** Fixed at **30 pips** to limit downside risk.
- **Take Profit:** Set at **60 pips**, providing a **2:1 risk-reward ratio**.
6. **Visual Aids**
- The **Kill Zone is highlighted in blue** to help traders visually confirm the active session.
**Objective:**
This script aims to **capitalize on institutional price movements** within the New York session by leveraging ICT concepts such as FVGs and Order Blocks. By automating trade entries and exits, it eliminates emotions and ensures a disciplined trading approach.
[volfgang] Pivot Levels (Open, Close, High, Low)This script provides a clear and consistent way to track key price levels from Weekly and Daily bars, directly on your current chart interval.
The default colours are;
Today & This Week Open = White
Yesterday & Previous Week Open = Cream
Yesterday's High = Red
Yesterday's Low = Green
Weekly Pivots are 2px, and Daily Pivots are 1px.
Instead of requiring manual referencing of daily or weekly charts, these significant levels are automatically drawn and updated in real time, extending to the right as new bars form.
It adds value by helping traders quickly identify potential support/resistance zones and compare intraday price action with higher-timeframe pivots. This approach can aid in scalping, day trading, or swing trading strategies that rely on past price levels for trade entries, exits, or stop loss placement.
Daily Pivots Displayed Intraday
The script imports the previous day’s High, Low, Open, and Close and draws lines on the current chart, so you can see exactly where those levels lie on any intraday timeframe. You can easily change the colour of these lines in the menu.
Instead of switching between multiple charts for daily references, you can keep an intraday chart open and still watch how price behaves around these important daily pivots.
Weekly Pivots for Broader Context
In addition to daily levels, it also shows the previous week’s Open and Close. This feature helps traders who want to maintain a broader perspective and gauge the market’s weekly trend or bias while remaining on lower timeframes.
Automatic Line & Label Management
Each new trading day triggers a “session change” in the code, prompting the script to delete old lines and labels for daily levels. This keeps your chart from getting cluttered with outdated lines.
Weekly lines and labels follow the same approach, ensuring only the most recent weekly levels are highlighted.
Real-Time Extension
Lines are continuously extended to the right as new bars print, ensuring that you always have an updated view of your key price levels without any manual adjustments.
On the last bar, the script shifts to a time-based coordinate system for seamless visual extension.
Minimal Recalculation
This script uses security() calls in a carefully optimized way to reduce unnecessary recalculations and avoid repaint issues. By referencing open , close , etc., the lines remain fixed once the daily (or weekly) candle is confirmed.
Flexible Usage
You can apply this script to any symbol on TradingView. It’s especially beneficial for Forex pairs, indices, futures, or cryptocurrencies where you want to track significant past levels.
If you’re a scalper looking for areas of likely reaction, or a swing trader watching weekly opens for trend confirmation, these levels can be integral to your technical approach.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Click the “Add to Favorite Indicators” or “Apply to Chart” button once published.
Enable or Disable Previous Day Bars: Use the script’s input to toggle the display of previous day’s High, Low, Open, and Close lines if you only want weekly lines (or vice versa).
Customize Visuals: You can change line colors, width, and label text in the “Style” or “Inputs” tab. Adjust them to fit your preferred color scheme.
Interpretation:
Daily levels typically carry relevance for the next trading session. They can be used for intraday support/resistance, breakout checks, or gap fills.
Weekly levels help identify more prominent zones for bigger moves or for understanding overall sentiment from the prior week.
Conceptual Underpinnings
Support/Resistance: Past opens/closes often act as support or resistance because they represent important points of reference (where trading started or ended during a prior session).
Market Psychology: Many traders watch daily or weekly closes to gauge momentum and bias, which can become self-fulfilling as more participants join around those levels.
Improved Situational Awareness: By having these levels automatically drawn and updated, traders avoid missing critical areas where price may pivot.
This script is intentionally open-source to help traders study and personalize it.
By merging daily and weekly pivot concepts in a single script, it provides a convenient and efficient tool—rather than a simple mashup, it unifies two timeframes that are crucial in short-term and medium-term trading decisions.
Remember that these levels alone do not constitute a complete trading system; they are best used as part of a broader strategy involving risk management, additional technical signals, and market context.
Enigma Unlocked 2.0Description for "Enigma Unlocked 2.0" Pine Script Indicator
Overview
Enigma Unlocked 2.0 is an advanced and highly customizable indicator designed to deliver actionable buy and sell signals by leveraging precise candlestick logic during specific market transitions. This indicator is built for flexibility, helping traders identify high-probability trade setups during key trading periods, specifically the transitions between the Asian Kill Zone and London Kill Zone as well as the London Kill Zone and New York Kill Zone on the 30-minute timeframe.
By combining Enigma Unlocked 2.0 with the ICT Killzones & Pivots indicator, traders can gain a deeper understanding of the timing and location of these transitions. Waiting for signals during these defined kill zones increases the likelihood of finding high-probability trade setups.
How to Use
Follow the Kill Zone Transitions:
Use the ICT Killzones & Pivots indicator to clearly visualize the boundaries of the Asian, London, and New York kill zones.
Focus on the signals generated by Enigma Unlocked 2.0 that align with these kill zone transitions.
Plotting Entries and Targets with Gann Box:
For Buy Signals:
Use the Gann Box tool to mark the high and low of the signal candle.
Ensure your Gann Box settings include only the 50%, 0%, and 100% levels.
Your entry zone lies between the 50% and 100% levels (discount zone). This is where buy trades are expected to offer an optimal risk-reward ratio.
For Sell Signals:
Similarly, plot the Gann Box on the high and low of the signal candle.
The 50% to 100% zone acts as the premium area for sell trades.
Setting Stop Loss and Targets:
To identify a safe stop loss, split the 50% zone of the Gann Box using another Gann Box.
Draw the secondary Gann Box from 50% to 100% of the initial box, then extend it to double the height.
For sell trades, place the stop loss above the extended 100% level.
For buy trades, place the stop loss below the extended 100% level.
Aim for a minimum of 1:1 risk-to-reward to ensure optimal trade management.
How It Works
Buy Logic:
Buy Logic 1: Detects a bullish candle (close > open) that:
Closes above its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a low lower than the previous candle's low.
Buy Logic 2: Identifies a bearish candle (close < open) that:
Closes above its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a low lower than the previous candle's low.
Sell Logic:
Sell Logic 1: Detects a bearish candle (close < open) that:
Closes below its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a high higher than the previous candle's high.
Sell Logic 2: Identifies a bullish candle (close > open) that:
Closes below its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a high higher than the previous candle's high.
Real-Time Alerts and Visual Cues:
Green triangles below candles indicate buy opportunities.

Core Functionality of the Script:
Calculates Key Price Levels:
HOD (High of Day): The highest price of the current day.
LOD (Low of Day): The lowest price of the current day.
PMH (Premarket High): The highest price during the premarket session (before the market opens).
PML (Premarket Low): The lowest price during the premarket session.
PDH (Previous Day High): The highest price of the previous day.
PDL (Previous Day Low): The lowest price of the previous day.
Draws Horizontal Lines on the Chart:
Plots horizontal lines on the chart for each key level (HOD, LOD, PMH, PML, PDH, PDL) with specific colors for easy visual identification.
Defines Entry and Exit Rules:
Long Entry (Buy): If the price crosses above the PMH (Premarket High) or the PDH (Previous Day High).
Short Entry (Sell): If the price crosses below the PML (Premarket Low) or the PDL (Previous Day Low).
Long Exit: If the price reaches the HOD (High of Day) during a long position.
Short Exit: If the price reaches the LOD (Low of Day) during a short position.
How the Script Works Step by Step:
Calculates Key Levels:
Uses the request.security function to fetch the HOD and LOD of the current day, as well as the highs and lows of the previous day (PDH and PDL).
Calculates the PMH and PML during the premarket session (before 9:30 AM).
Plots Levels on the Chart:
Uses the plot function to draw horizontal lines on the chart representing the key levels (HOD, LOD, PMH, PML, PDH, PDL).
Each level has a specific color for easy identification:
HOD: White.
LOD: Purple.
PDH: Orange.
PDL: Blue.
PMH: Green.
PML: Red.
Defines Trading Rules:
Uses conditions with ta.crossover and ta.crossunder to detect when the price crosses key levels.
Long Entry: If the price crosses above the PMH or PDH, a long position (buy) is opened.
Short Entry: If the price crosses below the PML or PDL, a short position (sell) is opened.
Long Exit: If the price reaches the HOD during a long position, the position is closed.
Short Exit: If the price reaches the LOD during a short position, the position is closed.
Executes Orders Automatically:
Uses the strategy.entry and strategy.close functions to open and close positions automatically based on the defined rules.
Advantages of This Strategy:
Based on Key Levels: Uses important price levels that often act as support and resistance.
Easy to Visualize: Horizontal lines on the chart make it easy to identify levels.
Automated: Entries and exits are executed automatically based on the defined rules.
Limitations of This Strategy:
Dependent on Volatility: Works best in markets with significant price movements.
False Crosses: There may be false crosses that generate incorrect signals.
No Advanced Risk Management: Does not include dynamic stop-loss or take-profit mechanisms.
How to Improve the Strategy:
Add Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: To limit losses and lock in profits.
Filter Signals with Indicators: Use RSI, MACD, or other indicators to confirm signals.
Optimize Levels: Adjust key levels based on the asset’s behavior.
In summary, this script is a trading strategy that operates based on key price levels, such as HOD, LOD, PMH, PML, PDH, and PDL. It is useful for traders who want to trade based on significant support and resistance levels.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator [CHE] Squeeze Momentum Indicator
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator is an improved and simplified version of the classic Squeeze Momentum Indicator by LazyBear. It focuses on precise detection of squeeze phases without relying on Keltner Channels (KC) or complex momentum calculations. Instead, it emphasizes the dynamic analysis of Bollinger Band widths and their distance changes to provide clear and intuitive signals.
What is the Squeeze Momentum Indicator ?
This indicator helps you identify periods of low volatility (squeeze phases) when the market is often poised for significant moves. With its clear visualization and innovative methods, it enables traders to spot breakout opportunities early and trade strategically.
Differences from the Original LazyBear Indicator
1. Use of Bollinger Bands (BB):
- LazyBear Indicator combines Bollinger Bands with Keltner Channels. A squeeze is detected when the Bollinger Bands fall inside the Keltner Channels.
- CHE Indicator relies solely on Bollinger Bands and an additional analysis of their width (distance between the upper and lower bands). This makes the calculation more straightforward and reduces dependency on multiple indicator families.
2. Squeeze Detection:
- LazyBear: A squeeze is defined based on the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. It has three states: “Squeeze On,” “Squeeze Off,” and “No Squeeze.”
- CHE: A squeeze is detected when the width of the Bollinger Bands falls below the lower "Distance Bollinger Bands." It only has two states: Squeeze Active and No Squeeze.
3. Momentum Calculation:
- LazyBear: Uses linear regression (LinReg) to calculate momentum and displays it as color-coded histograms.
- CHE: Does not include momentum calculations. The focus is entirely on volatility visualization and squeeze detection.
4. Visualization:
- LazyBear: Displays momentum histograms and horizontal lines to signal different states.
- CHE: Visualizes the width of the Bollinger Bands and their Distance Bollinger Bands as lines on the chart. The chart background turns green when a squeeze is detected, simplifying interpretation.
What Is Plotted?
1. Bollinger Band Width:
- A line representing the distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands, measuring market volatility.
2. Distance Bollinger Bands:
- Two additional lines (upper and lower Distance Bollinger Bands) based on the Bollinger Band width, defining thresholds for squeeze conditions.
3. Session-Specific Box:
- A dynamic box is drawn on the chart during a squeeze phase. The box marks the high and low of the market for the squeeze duration. It visually frames the range, helping traders monitor breakouts beyond these levels.
4. Max/Min Markers:
- The indicator dynamically updates and marks the maximum and minimum price levels during a squeeze. These levels can serve as breakout thresholds or critical reference points for price action.
5. Background Color:
- The chart background turns green when a squeeze is active (Bollinger Band width falls below the lower Distance Bollinger Bands). This highlights potential breakout conditions.
How to Use the CHE Indicator
1. Add the Indicator:
- Add the indicator to your chart and customize settings such as Bollinger Band length (`sqz_length`) and multiplier (`sqz_multiplier`) to fit your strategy.
2. Identify Squeeze Conditions:
- Watch for the green background, which signals a squeeze—indicating a period of low volatility where significant market moves often follow.
3. Monitor the Box and Max/Min Levels:
- During a squeeze, the box outlines the trading range, and the maximum and minimum levels are updated in real time. Use these as breakout triggers or support/resistance zones.
4. Session-Specific Analysis:
- The indicator can highlight squeezes during specific trading sessions (e.g., market open), allowing you to focus on key time frames.
5. Additional Confirmation:
- Combine the CHE Indicator with price action analysis or momentum tools to determine the direction of potential breakouts.
Why Use the Squeeze Momentum Indicator ?
- Simplicity: Clear visualization and reduced complexity by eliminating Keltner Channels and momentum calculations.
- Flexibility: Suitable for all markets—stocks, forex, crypto, and more.
- Enhanced Visualization: The box and max/min markers provide real-time visual cues for range-bound trading and breakout strategies.
- Efficiency: Focuses on what matters most—identifying volatility and squeeze phases.
With the Squeeze Momentum Indicator , you can take your trading strategy to the next level. Thanks to its clear design, dynamic range visualization, and innovative methods, you’ll recognize breakout opportunities earlier and trade with greater precision. Try it out and experience its user-friendliness and effectiveness for yourself!

Silver Bullet ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] 10-11 AM NY Time +FVG🔵 Introduction
The ICT Silver Bullet trading strategy is a precise, time-based algorithmic approach that relies on Fair Value Gaps and Liquidity to identify high-probability trade setups. The strategy primarily focuses on the New York AM Session from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, leveraging heightened market activity within this critical window to capture short-term trading opportunities.
As an intraday strategy, it is most effective on lower timeframes, with ICT recommending a 15-minute chart or lower. While experienced traders often utilize 1-minute to 5-minute charts, beginners may find the 1-minute timeframe more manageable for applying this strategy.
This approach specifically targets quick trades, designed to take advantage of market movements within tight one-hour windows. By narrowing its focus, the Silver Bullet offers a streamlined and efficient method for traders to capitalize on liquidity shifts and price imbalances with precision.
In the fast-paced world of forex trading, the ability to identify market manipulation and false price movements is crucial for traders aiming to stay ahead of the curve. The Silver Bullet Indicator simplifies this process by integrating ICT principles such as liquidity traps, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
These concepts form the foundation of a tool designed to mimic the strategies of institutional players, empowering traders to align their trades with the "smart money." By transforming complex market dynamics into actionable insights, the Silver Bullet Indicator provides a powerful framework for short-term trading success
Silver Bullet Bullish Setup :
Silver Bullet Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Silver Bullet Indicator is a specialized tool that operates within the critical time windows of 9:00-10:00 and 10:00-11:00 in the forex market. Its design incorporates key principles from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, focusing on concepts such as liquidity traps, CISD Levels, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to provide precise and actionable trade setups.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a bullish setup, the indicator starts by marking the high and low of the session, serving as critical reference points for liquidity. A typical sequence involves a liquidity grab below the low, where the price manipulates retail traders into selling positions by breaching a key support level.
This movement is often orchestrated by smart money to accumulate buy orders. Following this liquidity grab, a market structure shift (MSS) occurs, signaled by the price breaking the CISD Level—a confirmation of bullish intent. The indicator then highlights an Order Block near the CISD Level, representing the zone where institutional buying is concentrated.
Additionally, it identifies a Fair Value Gap, which acts as a high-probability area for price retracement and trade entry. Traders can confidently take long positions when the price revisits these zones, targeting the next significant liquidity pool or resistance level.
Bullish Setup in CAPITALCOM:US100 :
🟣 Bearish Setup
Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price manipulates liquidity by creating a false breakout above the high of the session. This move entices retail traders into long positions, allowing institutional players to enter sell orders.
Once the price reverses direction and breaches the CISD Level to the downside, a change of character (CHOCH) becomes evident, confirming a bearish market structure. The indicator highlights an Order Block near this level, indicating the origin of the institutional sell orders, along with an associated FVG, which represents an imbalance zone likely to be revisited before the price continues downward.
By entering short positions when the price retraces to these levels, traders align their strategies with the anticipated continuation of bearish momentum, targeting nearby liquidity voids or support zones.
Bearish Setup in OANDA:XAUUSD :
🔵 Settings
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The Silver Bullet Indicator is a cutting-edge tool designed specifically for forex traders who aim to leverage market dynamics during critical liquidity windows. By focusing on the highly active 9:00-10:00 and 10:00-11:00 timeframes, the indicator simplifies complex market concepts such as liquidity traps, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and CISD Levels, transforming them into actionable insights.
What sets the Silver Bullet Indicator apart is its precision in detecting false breakouts and market structure shifts (MSS), enabling traders to align their strategies with institutional activity. The visual clarity of its signals, including color-coded zones and directional arrows, ensures that both novice and experienced traders can easily interpret and apply its findings in real-time.
By integrating ICT principles, the indicator empowers traders to identify high-probability entry and exit points, minimize risk, and optimize trade execution. Whether you are capturing short-term price movements or navigating complex market conditions, the Silver Bullet Indicator offers a robust framework to enhance your trading performance.
Ultimately, this tool is more than just an indicator; it is a strategic ally for traders who seek to decode the movements of smart money and capitalize on institutional strategies. With the Silver Bullet Indicator, traders can approach the market with greater confidence, precision, and profitability.

Points of InterestIndicator for displaying a timed, intraday Range of Price as a Point of Interest (POI) that you may want to track when trading as a potential magnet for price. Quite often you will see Price return to prior days price range before continuing to move. This enables you to track specific portions of a Days Trading session to see what has been revisited and what has not yet been re traded to.
The range is tracked for each trading day between the times that you specify in the Inputs ‘POI Time’ parameter You can also set the Time zone of the Range.
It will mark the Range High and Low for the timed range with lines that can be optionally extended and can be customised in terms of colour, style and width.
It will also Plot a line showing the Equilibrium of the range which is 50% from the High to the Low point of price during the time window that you specified in the ‘POI Time’ Parameter. This can also be customised in terms of visibility, colour, style and width.
You can control an optional Label for the POI Equilibrium Line to include a combination of a user defined prefix, the Date that the POI Equilibrium Line’s range is from and the Price Level of the Equilibrium Line. The colour and size of the label is also configurable
This indicator will also track when a POI Equilibrium Line has been traded to or ‘Tapped’. The tracking can be started after a configurable number of minutes have elapsed from the end of the POI Time window. This can also be customised in terms of visibility, colour, style, extended toggle and width.
Optionally Taps of the POI Equilibrium Level can be counted as valid during specific time windows or session of the day - for example only count taps during New York Morning Trading session.
The indicator uses Lower Time Frame data to compute the Range and 50% / Equilibrium Level so will work accurately on Chart Timeframes up to and including Daily with The POI Time specified down to a Minute resolution.
Aggressor Volume ImbalanceAggressor volume imbalance represents the ratio between market aggressor buy volume (market buy orders) and market aggressor sell volume (market sell orders). This ratio enables traders to evaluate the interest of market aggressors and whether aggressive market activity favours the price's direction.
Analysing aggressor volume is critical in understanding market sentiment and aids in identifying shifts in momentum and potential exhaustion points in the market. When the aggressor buy volume significantly exceeds the sell volume, it typically indicates strong buying interest, driving prices higher if the offer-side liquidity cannot contain it, and vice versa.
How it Works
The imbalance ratio is calculated as follows, according to the selected session timeframe (see settings):
imbalance := ((buyVolumeAccumulator - sellVolumeAccumulator)
/ (buyVolumeAccumulator + sellVolumeAccumulator)) * 100
Aggressive Volume Imbalance uses lower timeframe historical data to calculate Historical Aggressor Volume Imbalances, while live data is used for live aggressor volume imbalances.
How to Use It
You can set the indicator to use any historical data timeframe you prefer. However, it is highly recommended to use lower timeframes (e.g., 1 second), as the lower the timeframe, the more granular the data.
The indicator resets to 0% whenever a new session timeframe begins (e.g., a new day) and calculates new values for the rest of the session. This can be configured in the settings.
Sharpe and Sortino Ratios█ OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates the Sharpe and Sortino ratios using a chart symbol's periodic price returns, offering insights into the symbol's risk-adjusted performance. It features the option to calculate these ratios by comparing the periodic returns to a fixed annual rate of return or the returns from another selected symbol's context.
█ CONCEPTS
Returns, risk, and volatility
The return on an investment is the relative gain or loss over a period, often expressed as a percentage. Investment returns can originate from several sources, including capital gains, dividends, and interest income. Many investors seek the highest returns possible in the quest for profit. However, prudent investing and trading entails evaluating such returns against the associated risks (i.e., the uncertainty of returns and the potential for financial losses) for a clearer perspective on overall performance and sustainability.
The profitability of an investment typically comes at the cost of enduring market swings, noise, and general uncertainty. To navigate these turbulent waters, investors and portfolio managers often utilize volatility , a measure of the statistical dispersion of historical returns, as a foundational element in their risk assessments because it provides a tangible way to gauge the uncertainty in returns. High volatility suggests increased uncertainty and, consequently, higher risk, whereas low volatility suggests more stable returns with minimal fluctuations, implying lower risk. These concepts are integral components in several risk-adjusted performance metrics, including the Sharpe and Sortino ratios calculated by this indicator.
Risk-free rate
The risk-free rate represents the rate of return on a hypothetical investment carrying no risk of financial loss. This theoretical rate provides a benchmark for comparing the returns on a risky investment and evaluating whether its excess returns justify the risks. If an investment's returns are at or below the theoretical risk-free rate or the risk premium is below a desired amount, it may suggest that the returns do not compensate for the extra risk, which might be a call to reassess the investment.
Since the risk-free rate is a theoretical concept, investors often utilize proxies for the rate in practice, such as Treasury bills and other government bonds. Conventionally, analysts consider such instruments "risk-free" for a domestic holder, as they are a form of government obligation with a low perceived likelihood of default.
The average yield on short-term Treasury bills, influenced by economic conditions, monetary policies, and inflation expectations, has historically hovered around 2-3% over the long term. This range also aligns with central banks' inflation targets. As such, one may interpret a value within this range as a minimum proxy for the risk-free rate, as it may correspond to the minimum rate required to maintain purchasing power over time. This indicator uses a default value of 2% as the risk-free rate in its Sharpe and Sortino ratio calculations. Users can adjust this value from the "Risk-free rate of return" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
Sharpe and Sortino ratios
The Sharpe and Sortino ratios are two of the most widely used metrics that offer insight into an investment's risk-adjusted performance . They provide a standardized framework to compare the effectiveness of investments relative to their perceived risks. These metrics can help investors determine whether the returns justify the risks taken to achieve them, promoting more informed investment decisions.
Both metrics measure risk-adjusted performance similarly. However, they have some differences in their formulas and their interpretation:
1. Sharpe ratio
The Sharpe ratio , developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe, measures the performance of an investment compared to a theoretically risk-free asset, adjusted for the investment risk. The ratio uses the following formula:
Sharpe Ratio = (𝑅𝑎 − 𝑅𝑓) / 𝜎𝑎
Where:
• 𝑅𝑎 = Average return of the investment
• 𝑅𝑓 = Theoretical risk-free rate of return
• 𝜎𝑎 = Standard deviation of the investment's returns (volatility)
A higher Sharpe ratio indicates a more favorable risk-adjusted return, as it signifies that the investment produced higher excess returns per unit of increase in total perceived risk.
2. Sortino ratio
The Sortino ratio is a modified form of the Sharpe ratio that only considers downside volatility , i.e., the volatility of returns below the theoretical risk-free benchmark. Although it shares close similarities with the Sharpe ratio, it can produce very different values, especially when the returns do not have a symmetrical distribution, since it does not penalize upside and downside volatility equally. The ratio uses the following formula:
Sortino Ratio = (𝑅𝑎 − 𝑅𝑓) / 𝜎𝑑
Where:
• 𝑅𝑎 = Average return of the investment
• 𝑅𝑓 = Theoretical risk-free rate of return
• 𝜎𝑑 = Downside deviation (standard deviation of negative excess returns, or downside volatility)
The Sortino ratio offers an alternative perspective on an investment's return-generating efficiency since it does not consider upside volatility in its calculation. A higher Sortino ratio signifies that the investment produced higher excess returns per unit of increase in perceived downside risk.
The risk-free rate (𝑅𝑓) in the numerator of both ratio formulas acts as a baseline for comparing an investment's performance to a theoretical risk-free alternative. By subtracting the risk-free rate from the expected return (𝑅𝑎−𝑅𝑓), the numerator essentially represents the risk premium of the investment.
Comparison with another symbol
In addition to the conventional Sharpe and Sortino ratios, which compare an instrument's returns to a risk-free rate, this indicator can also compare returns to a user-specified benchmark symbol , allowing the calculation of Information ratios .
An Information ratio is a generalized form of the Sharpe ratio that compares an investment's returns to a risky benchmark , such as SPY, rather than a risk-free rate. It measures the investment's active return (the difference between its returns and the benchmark returns) relative to its tracking error (i.e., the volatility of the active return) using the following formula:
𝐼𝑅 = (𝑅𝑝 − 𝑅𝑏) / 𝑇𝐸
Where:
• 𝑅𝑝 = Average return on the portfolio or investment
• 𝑅𝑏 = Average return from the benchmark instrument
• 𝑇𝐸 = Tracking error (volatility of 𝑅𝑝 − 𝑅𝑏)
Comparing returns to a benchmark instrument rather than a theoretical risk-free rate offers unique insights into risk-adjusted performance. Higher Information ratios signify that the investment produced higher active returns per unit of increase in risk relative to the benchmark. Conventional choices for non-risk-free benchmarks include major composite indices like the S&P 500 and DJIA, as the resulting ratios can provide insight into the effectiveness of an investment relative to the broader market.
Users can enable this generalized calculation for both the Sharpe and Sortino ratios by selecting the "Benchmark symbol returns" option from the "Benchmark type" dropdown in the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
It's crucial to note that this indicator compares the charts symbol's rate of change (return) to the rate of change in the benchmark symbol. Consequently, not all symbols available on TradingView are suitable for use with these ratios due to the nature of what their values represent. For instance, using a bond as a benchmark will produce distorted results since each bar's values represent yields rather than prices, meaning it compares the rate of change in the yield. To maintain consistency and relevance in the calculated ratios, ensure the values from the compared symbols strictly represent price information.
█ FEATURES
This indicator provides traders with two widely used metrics for assessing risk-adjusted performance, generalized to allow users to compare the chart symbol's price returns to a fixed risk-free rate or the returns from another risky symbol. Below are the key features of this indicator:
Timeframe selection
The "Returns timeframe" input determines the timeframe of the calculated price returns. Users can select any value greater than or equal to the chart's timeframe. The default timeframe is "1M".
Periodic returns tracking
This indicator compounds and collects requested price returns from the selected timeframe over monthly or daily periods, similar to how the Broker Emulator works when calculating strategy performance metrics on trade data. It employs the following logic:
• Track returns over monthly periods if the chart's data spans at least two months.
• Track returns over daily periods if the chart's data spans at least two days but not two months.
• Do not track or collect returns if the data spans less than two days, as the amount of data is insufficient for meaningful ratio calculations.
The indicator uses the returns collected from up to a specified number of periods to calculate the Sharpe and Sortino ratios, depending on the available historical data. It also uses these periodic returns to calculate the average returns it displays in the Data Window.
Users can control the maximum number of periods the indicator analyzes with the "Max no. of periods used" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. The default value is 60 periods.
Benchmark specification
The "Benchmark return type" input specifies the benchmark type the indicator compares to the chart symbol's returns in the ratio calculations. It features the following two options:
• "Risk-free rate of return (%)": Compares the price returns to a user-specified annual rate of return representing a theoretical risk-free rate (e.g., 2%).
• "Benchmark symbol return": Compares the price returns to a selected benchmark symbol (e.g., "AMEX:SPY) to calculate Information ratios.
When comparing a chart symbol's returns to a specified benchmark symbol, this indicator aligns the times of data points from the benchmark with the times of data points from the chart's symbol to facilitate a fair comparison between symbols with different active sessions.
Visualization and display
• The indicator displays the periodic returns requested from the specified "Returns timeframe" in a separate pane. The plot includes dynamic colors to signify positive and negative returns.
• When the "Returns timeframe" value represents a higher timeframe, the indicator displays background highlights on the main chart pane to signify when a new value is available and whether the return is positive or negative.
• When the specified benchmark return type is a benchmark symbol, the indicator displays the requested symbol's returns in the separate pane as a gray line for visual comparison.
• Within the separate pane, the indicator displays a single-cell table that shows the base period it uses for periodic returns, the number of periods it uses in the calculation, the timeframe of the requested data, and the calculated Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
• The Data Window displays the chart symbol and benchmark returns, their periodic averages, and the Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
█ FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes the functions from our RiskMetrics library to determine the size of the periods, calculate and collect periodic returns, and compute the Sharpe and Sortino ratios.
• The `getAlignedPrices()` function in this script requests price data for the chart's symbol and a benchmark symbol with consistent time alignment by utilizing spread symbols , which helps facilitate a fair comparison between different symbol types. Retrieving prices from spreads avoids potential information loss and data misalignment that can otherwise occur when using separate requests from each symbol's context when those symbols have different sessions or data times.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedPrices()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences for fair comparison between futures instruments.
• This script uses the `changePercent()` function from our ta library to calculate the percentage changes of the requested data.
• The newly released `force_overlay` parameter in display-related functions allows indicators to display visuals on the main chart and a separate pane simultaneously. We use the parameter in this script's bgcolor() call to display background highlights on the main chart.

Tops & Bottoms - Day of Week Report█ OVERVIEW
The indicator tracks when the weekly tops and bottoms occur and reports the statistics by the days of the week.
█ CONCEPTS
Not all the days of the week are equal, and the market dynamic can follow through or shift over the trading week. Tops and bottoms are vital when entering a trade, as they will decide if you are catching the train or being straight offside. They are equally crucial when exiting a position, as they will determine if you are closing at the optimal price or seeing your unrealized profits vanish.
This indicator is before all for educational purposes. It aims to make the knowledge available to all traders, facilitate understanding of the various markets, and ultimately get to know your trading pairs by heart (and saving a lot of your time backtesting!).
USDJPY tops and bottoms percentages on any given week.
USDJPY tops and bottoms percentages on up weeks versus down weeks.
█ FEATURES

█ NOTES
Trading session
The indicator analyzes the days of the week from the daily chart. The daily trading sessions are defined by the symbol (e.g., 17:00 - 17:00 on EURUSD).
Extended/electronic trading session
The indicator can include the extended hours when activated on the chart, using the 24-hour or 1440-minute timeframe.
█ HOW TO USE
Plot the indicator and navigate on the 1-day or 24-hour timeframe.
Time Relative Volume Oscillator | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
The relative volume indicator aims to improve upon the default existing relative volume indicator by comparing volumes between previous trading sessions rather than previous candles. As such, it works best on lower time frames as there is more data to compare with. The purpose of the indicator is to show how the current bar’s volume compares to the volume at the same time on previous trading days.
There exists a couple different modes and combinations that each provide a different perspective on the trading volume.
Oscillator mode
Oscillator mode starts with the same relative volume calculation, but adds two EMAs of different lengths that diverge and converge. Like the MACD, it plots the difference as a histogram. This functions as an easy way to view when relative volume is increasing or decreasing.
How to use:
The oscillator oscillates between -1 and 1. It moves along with volume direction, so this mode can be used to view the current volume direction in a lagging fashion. In oscillating markets, this indicator can give an idea of how buy/sell volume is moving and where it currently stands. Small arrows mark where reversals are predicted, when the histogram crosses over 0. The biggest pitfall of this mode is that, in a straight trending market, the two EMAs converge and it gives a false reversal signal.
Delta mode
Delta volume mode is a step up from the buy/sell volume mode. It separates both sides into the top and bottom, while also displaying the actual volume behind it in a semi transparent overlay. The best feature, however, is the delta oscillator. This oscillator fluctuates depending on how buy/sell volume is changing and plots bullish/bearish labels when the dominant side (bullish/bearish) changes. The signals, while a bit common, can sometimes dictate large direction changes, started by a dominant volume switch.
On top of different display modes, there is also one more volume mode: buy/sell volume. Instead of only showing the total volume and relative volume, it calculates and separates buying and selling volume.
This volume mode displays differently in all three viewing modes, but the basic principle is the same. It adds a vital piece of information to the chart without adding clutter. The calculation for buy/sell volume uses the candle wicks and body to compare bullish and bearish movement.
Classic mode
Classic mode takes the default volume indicator and improves upon it by also displaying the relative volume on top of the actual volume. Relative volume is calculated similarly between the three display modes: simply by comparing the current bar’s volume to the volume at the same time during previous trading days. Classic mode displays this “relative volume” as well as a simple EMA over top of the actual trading volume.
Originality
The script improves upon the existing relative volume indicator by using previous trading days rather than previous candles to generate the relative volume. On top of that, the calculation methods are unique, using different formulas like variations of the sigmoid function to smooth noise. The main issue this script aims to fix is that towards the start or end of the day relative volume indicators all see spikes as volume grows into close. The new relative volume calculations fix this problem and show what the “true” relative volume is because they compare the current bar to the “same” bar on previous trading sessions.
CPR by JBISIncludes CPR, Pivot Points and an EMA. This advanced technical indicator amalgamates critical components essential for robust market analysis: CPR (Central Pivot Range), Pivot Points, and EMA (Exponential Moving Average). Designed to empower traders with comprehensive insights, this indicator serves as a dynamic tool for chart analysis across various timeframes and markets.

Intraday FIB ScalpingThe Intraday Fibonacci Levels Indicator is a powerful tool designed to enhance trading decisions in intraday markets. Leveraging the dynamic nature of Fibonacci retracement levels, this indicator utilizes the high and low prices observed within the first 15 minutes of the trading session to plot key levels and establish potential entry and exit zones.
Key Features:
Automatic Calculation: The indicator swiftly calculates Fibonacci retracement levels based on the highest high and lowest low recorded during the initial 15 minutes of the trading day. This ensures a quick and accurate representation of potential support and resistance levels.
Zone Marking for Precision: The indicator marks specific zones on the chart, providing traders with clear visual cues for potential entry and exit points. These zones are strategically aligned with Fibonacci levels, offering a systematic approach to decision-making.
User-Friendly Interface: With a user-friendly interface, the Intraday Fibonacci Levels Indicator is suitable for both novice and experienced traders. The intuitive design allows for easy interpretation of signals and levels.
By harnessing the power of Fibonacci retracement levels and incorporating them into an intraday context, this indicator empowers traders with a systematic and data-driven approach to decision-making. Whether identifying entry points, setting stop losses, or planning exit strategies, the Intraday Fibonacci Levels Indicator serves as a valuable ally in navigating the complexities of intraday trading.
How to Trade using these Levels?
With this indicator, you can see all the levels between whole number and its corresponding 0.272 were highlighted. That is where we need to look for intraday trade entry. If any of the level broken on either side and the bar closes below ore above the highlighted area, we should enter the trade in that direction with immediate next FIB level as TP1 and subsequent level as TP2. And, an opposite directional close above or below the highlighted level will be considered as stop loss exit.
We prefer to trade in 3 minutes or 5 minutes timeframe for intraday trading.
How we plot the levels?
We are incorporating ORB into Fibonacci to plot intraday trading levels. We use high and low of first 15 minutes candle of each new trading session to arrive the levels for that session.
When market is trading above or below initially plotted levels, user can extend the levels by enabling extentions provided in user settings
Opening Range & Prior Day High/Low [Gorb]Introduction:
Opening Range & Prior Day High/Low indicator is an easy to use day traders tool. This indicator automatically plots the previous days high and low, as well as drawing a box from the opening range that the user specifies in the settings. These two together can help provide an indication of market sentiment and price trends for the day. They are often used as a trading strategy for day traders.
Overview:
The Opening Range , draws a box from the high to the low of the user defined time period and is extended until the end of the trading session. Most common are the 5/15/30min opening ranges.
Prior Day High/Low , draws lines from the previous days high and low that extend across the current session. These are used as support/resistance and also a marker to see market sentiment by crossing one of these levels.
The indicator is designed for all kinds of traders, offering a simple approach to automatically plot levels for you.
Features:
All skill-level friendly presets, easy to enable with one-click
Opening Range: Allows user to choose what time the range starts and ends to measure the high & low.
Extend Range Lines: allows the user to choose when the box stops extending according to the trading session time.
Enable Opening Range Box: allows the user to choose to plot the opening range or not.
ORB Border Color: allows the user to change the box border color.
ORB Box Shade Color: allows the user to change the background of the opening range box.
ORB Line Width: allows users to chose the width of the opening range box lines.
Enable Previous Day High: allows users to enable the previous days high to be plotted.
Enable Previous Day Low: allows users to enable the previous days high to be plotted.
Previous Day High Color: allows users to choose the color for this line.
Previous Day Low Color: allows users to choose the color for this line.
All colors are changeable for the user to customize to their liking.
Usage Demonstration
In the image below, we can see a basic example of how these 3 features function.
As explained above, the opening range is customizable to meet the users needs and can be disabled with one click. Same goes for the prior day high(green) and low(red) lines. All 3 are plotted each day automatically for the user if enabled.
In the image below, we can see an example of using the opening range break and prior day high together for a trading strategy.
This is a great example of using the prior day high with the opening range to use as a day trading strategy. It provides the trader with levels to watch for price to break out from for possible trade setups.
In this next image, we can see a failed breakdown from the opening range that results in a bullish breakout.
The first move was a fake breakdown with the failed rejection on the retest of the opening range lows. This led to a breakout above the range and a confirmation bounce on the breakout retest. Price did break above the prior day high and confirmed with a retest bounce on that level as well.
In the image below, we can see how previous days levels can act as resistance to use with the opening range.
Price didn't reject the opening range low, but it did reject the prior day high for the second time. This could be used as an entry or once price breaks down out of the opening range again.
Conclusion:
We believe in providing user-friendly tools to help speed up traders technical analysis and implement easy trading strategies. The goal is to provide a user-friendly indicator to automatically draw opening ranges and previous days levels to suit the users needs and trading style.

[GTH decimals heatmap] (wide screen advised)Preface
I share my personal general view on indicators below; skip ahead to the Description below if you are not interested.
It is my personal conviction that most - if not all - indicators rely mainly on trader's belief that they work, and in a feedback system like free markets they might become a self-fulfilling prophecy as a result, if (!) a big part of the traders believes in it, because some famous trader releases an indicator, or such person's public statement goes viral.
One of those voodoo indicators is the famous "follow-through day". There is zero statistical evidence for its validity, beyond the validity of a statement like "If it's bright at day it's usually the sun shining". The uselessness was proven exactly on its inventor's YT channel, Investors Business Daily. According to the examiner, its inventor William J. O'Neil himself could not explain the values used for this indicator. It might have been an incidental observation at some point without general validity. A.k.a "curve fitting". Still, it's being used by many today.
Another one of those indicators is the three points reversal on the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) which allegedly might potentially maybe indicate a possible shift in trend. Both indicators share an immediately problematic feature: They use absolute values. Nothing is ever absolute in a highly subjective and emotionally driven game like the markets where a lot of money can be made and lost.
Most indicators can not produce additional information since they can only re-pack price/volume action. Many times an interpretion of the distance between price and a moving average and/or the slope of a moving average deliver very similar - if not better - results than MACD, RSI etc., especially with standard settings, the origin of which are usually unknown (always a warning sign). Very few indicators can deliver information which is otherwise hard to quantify, e. g. market noise (Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio or Price Density) or volatility, standard deviation etc.
It is common knowledge that trading the markets is a game of probability. No indicator works all the time (or at all, see above). In order to make decisions based on any indicator, the probability for its validity and the conditions under which validity seemed to have occurred, must be known. Otherwise it is just coffee grounds reading under the illusion of adding to the edge, when in fact it is only adding to the trees, making it even harder to see the forest.
Description
A common belief is that whole or half-dollar prices tend to be attraction points in price action, so a number of traders include those into decision making. But are they really...?
Spoiler Alert:
Generally, it is safe to say that for the big majority of stocks there is very thin evidence for it. It depends vastly on the asset, the timeframe used and the market period (pre/post/main trading times). If at all, there seems to be an above random but still thin evidence for whole prices being significant attraction points. Interesting/surprising patterns are visible on many stocks/timeframes/session periods, though.
The screenshot shows TSLA, 30m timeframe, two heatmaps added. The top one shows pre/post-market data only, the bottom one main market data only. The cyan fields indicate the strongest occurrence, the dark blue fields indicate the weakest occurrence of open/high/low/close prices at the respective decimal. The red field indicates the current/last price decimal.
Clearly, TSLA displays a strong pre-market attraction for .00, followed by .33 and .67 and .50. This pattern of thirds seems to be a unique feature of TSLA. In the main trading session it is being diluted by a more random distribution.
Other interesting equities to examine:
SPY: No significant pattern on any timeframe!
META: Generally weak patterns on all timeframes, but interestingly on the 1D there is evidence for less randomness on O and H, more on L and most on C.
AAPL: 1D, foggy attraction areas around .35 and .12. Whole price is no attraction area at all! Very weak attraction around .73.
AMD: Strong pattern on D, W, M, attraction areas around 1/16th intervals. No patterns on lower timeframes.

Intraday Intensity ModesIntraday Intensity Index was created by David Bostian and its use was later featured by John Bollinger in his book "Bollinger on Bollinger Bands" . It is categorically a volume indicator and considered to be a useful tool for analyzing supply and demand dynamics in the market. By measuring the level of buying and selling pressure within a given trading session it attempts to provide insights into the strength of market participants' interest and their aggressiveness in executing trades throughout the day. It can be used in conjunction with Bollinger Bands® or other envelope type indicators as a complimentary indicator to aid in trying to identify potential turning points or trends.
Intraday intensity is calculated based upon the relationship between the price change and the volume of shares traded during each daily interval. It aims to capture the level of buying or selling activity relative to the overall volume. A high intraday intensity value suggests a higher level of buying or selling pressure, indicating a more active and potentially volatile market. Conversely, a low intraday intensity value indicates less pronounced trading activity and a potentially quieter market. Overall, intraday intensity provides a concise description of the intensity of trading activity during a particular trading session, giving traders an additional perspective on market dynamics. Note that because the calculation uses volume this indicator will only work on symbols where volume is available.
While there are pre-existing versions within community scripts, none were found to have applied the calculations necessary for the various modes that are presented within this version, which are believed to be operating in the manner originally intended when first described by Bostian and again later by Bollinger. When operating in default modes on daily or lower chart timeframes the logic used within this script tracks the intraday high, low, close and volume for the day with each progressing intraday bar.
The BB indicator was included on the top main chart to help illustrate example usage as described below. The Intraday Intensity Modes indicator is pictured operating in three different modes beneath the main chart:
• The top pane beneath the main chart shows the indicator operating as a normalized 21 day II% oscillator. A potential use while in this mode would be to look for positive values as potential confirmation of strength when price tags the upper or lower Bollinger bands, and to look for negative values as potential confirmation of weakness when price tags the upper or lower Bollinger bands.
• The middle pane shows the indicator operating as an "open ended" cumulative sum of II. A potential use while in this mode would be to look for convergence or divergence of trend when price is making new highs or lows, or while price is walking the upper or lower Bollinger bands.
• The bottom pane shows the indicator operating in standard III mode, which provides independent values per session.
Indicator Settings: Inputs tab:
Osc Length : Set to 1 disables oscillation, values greater than 1 enables oscillation for II% (Intraday Intensity percent) mode.
Tootip : Hover mouse over (i) to show recommended example Settings for various modes.
Cumulative : When enabled values are cumulatively summed for the entire chart and indicator operates in II mode.
Normalized : When enabled a rolling window of Osc Length values are summed and normalized to the rolling window's volume.
Intrabar : When enabled price range and volume are evaluated for intensity per bar instead of per day which is a departure from the original
concept. Whenever this setting is enabled the indicator should be regarded as operating in an experimental mode.
Colors For Up Down : Sets the plot colors used, may be overridden in Settings:Style tab.
Styles / Width : Sets the plot style and width used, may be overridden in Settings:Style tab.
This indicator is designed to work with any chart timeframe, with the understanding that when used on timeframes higher than daily the indicator becomes "IntraPeriod" intensity, for example on weekly bars it would be "IntraWeek" intensity. On Daily or lower timeframes the indicator operates as "IntraDay" intensity and is being updated on each bar as each day progresses. If the experimental setting Intrabar is enabled then the indicator operates as "IntraBar" intensity and is no longer constrained to daily or higher evaluations, for example with Intrabar enabled on a 4H timeframe the indicator would operate as "Intra4H" intensity.
