Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI)The Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI) measures the relative volatility of overnight price gaps versus intraday price movements for a given security, such as SPY or SPX. It uses a rolling standard deviation of absolute overnight percentage changes divided by the standard deviation of absolute intraday percentage changes over a customizable window. This helps traders identify periods where overnight gaps predominate, suggesting potential opportunities for strategies leveraging extended market moves.
Instructions
A
pply the indicator to your TradingView chart for the desired security (e.g., SPY or SPX).
Adjust the "Rolling Window" input to set the lookback period (default: 60 bars).
Modify the "1DTE Threshold" and "2DTE+ Threshold" inputs to tailor the levels at which you switch from 0DTE to 1DTE or multi-DTE strategies (default: 0.5 and 0.6).
Observe the OGDI line: values above the 1DTE threshold suggest favoring 1DTE strategies, while values above the 2DTE+ threshold indicate multi-DTE strategies may be more effective.
Use in conjunction with low VIX environments and uptrend legs for optimal results.
Options
SPX → NQ Levels ConverterSPX → NQ Levels Converter is a Pine Script indicator that projects key S&P 500 (SPX) levels onto the NASDAQ 100 (NQ) chart using a configurable conversion ratio.
• Dynamic ratio: calculates the live SPX/NQ ratio in real time.
• Static ratio: allows manual input of a fixed ratio.
• Supports up to 10 custom SPX levels, automatically converted into their equivalent NQ values.
• Each level is displayed with a line and label (SPX → NQ) with independent color settings.
• Advanced visualization controls:
• line extension (right, left, both, or fixed)
• line length & placement
• label side & offset.
• Lines and labels auto-update on every bar to stay accurate over time.
Use case: particularly useful for traders who track SPX option levels or support/resistance zones but execute trades on the NQ.
Monthly Expected Move (IV + Realized)What it does
Overlays 1-month expected move bands on price using both forward-looking options data and backward-looking realized movement:
IV30 band — from your pasted 30-day implied vol (%)
Straddle band — from your pasted ATM ~30-DTE call+put total
HV band — from Historical Volatility computed on-chart
ATR band — from ATR% extrapolated to ~1 trading month
Use it to quickly answer: “How much could this stock move in ~1 month?” and “Is the market now pricing more/less movement than we’ve actually been getting?”
Inputs (quick)
Implied (forward-looking)
Use IV30 (%) — paste annualized IV30 from your options platform.
Use ATM 30-DTE Straddle — paste Call+Put total (per share) at the ATM strike, ~30 DTE.
Realized (backward-looking)
HV lookback (days) — default 21 (≈1 trading month).
ATR length — default 14.
Note: TradingView can’t fetch option data automatically. Paste the IV30 % or the straddle total you read from your broker (use Mark/mid prices).
How it’s calculated
IV band (±%) = IV30 × √(21/252) (annualized → ~1-month).
Straddle band (±%) = (ATM Call + Put) / Spot to that expiry (≈30 DTE).
HV band (±%) = stdev(log returns, N) × √252 × √(21/252).
ATR band (±%) = (ATR(len)/Close) × √21.
All bands are plotted as upper/lower envelopes around price, plus an on-chart readout of each ±% for quick scanning.
How to use it (at a glance)
IV/Straddle bands wider than HV/ATR → market expects bigger movement than recent actuals (possible catalyst/expansion).
All bands narrow → likely a low-mover; look elsewhere if you want action.
HV > IV → realized swings exceed current pricing (mean-reversion or vol bleed often follows).
Pro tips
For ATM straddle: pick the expiry closest to ~30 DTE, use the ATM strike (closest to spot), and add Call Mark + Put Mark (per share). If the exact ATM strike isn’t quoted, average the two neighboring strikes.
The simple straddle/spot heuristic can read slightly below the IV-derived 1σ; that’s normal.
Keep the chart on daily timeframe—the math assumes trading-day conventions (~252/yr, ~21/mo).
Evening Star Detector (VDS)This is a great indicator for a reversal. After the close of the previous Evening star candle, expect a position for the next fifteen minutes in the opposite direction. This is a method that was discovered by @VicDamoneSean on twitter. Created by @dani_spx7 and @yan_dondotta on twitter. This indicator has been back tested.
Volume Imbalance Heatmap + Delta Cluster [@darshakssc]🔥 Volume Imbalance Heatmap + Delta Cluster
Created by: @darshakssc
This indicator is designed to visually reveal institutional pressure zones using a combination of:
🔺 Delta Cluster Detection: Highlights candles with strong body ratios and volume spikes, helping identify aggressive buying or selling activity.
🌡️ Real-Time Heatmap Overlay: Background color dynamically adjusts based on volume imbalance relative to its moving average.
🧠 Adaptive Dashboard: Displays live insights into current market imbalance and directional flow (Buy/Sell clusters).
📈 How It Works:
A candle is marked as a Buy Cluster if it closes bullish, has a strong body, and exhibits a volume spike above average.
A Sell Cluster triggers under the inverse conditions.
The heatmap shades the chart background to reflect areas of high or low imbalance using a color gradient.
⚙️ Inputs You Can Adjust:
Volume MA Length
Minimum Body Ratio
Imbalance Multiplier Sensitivity

Index Options Expirations and Calendar EffectsFeatures
- Highlights monthly equity options expiration (opex) dates.
- Marks VIX options expiration dates based on standard 30-day offset.
- Shows configurable vanna/charm pre-expiration window (green shading).
- Shows configurable post-opex weakness window (red shading).
- Adjustable colors, start/end offsets, and on/off toggles for each element.
What this does
This overlay highlights option-driven calendar windows around monthly equity options expiration (opex) and VIX options expiration. It draws:
- Solid blue lines on the third Friday of each month (typical monthly opex).
- Dashed orange lines on the Wednesday ~30 days before next month’s opex (typical VIX expiration schedule).
- Green shading during a pre-expiration window when vanna/charm effects are often strongest.
- Red shading during the post-expiration "window of non-strength" often observed into the Tuesday after opex.
How it works
1. Monthly opex is detected when Friday falls between the 15th–21st of the month.
2. VIX expiration is calculated by finding next month’s opex date, then subtracting 30 calendar days and marking that Wednesday.
3. Vanna/charm window (green) : starts on the Monday of the week before opex and ends on Tuesday of opex week.
4. Post-opex weakness window (red) : starts Wednesday of opex week and ends Tuesday after opex.
How to use
- Add to any chart/timeframe.
- Adjust inputs to toggle VIX/opex lines, choose colors, and fine-tune the start/end offsets for shaded windows.
- This is an educational visualization of typical timing and not a trading signal.
Limitations
- Exchange holidays and contract-specific exceptions can shift expirations; this script uses standard calendar rules.
- No forward-looking data is used; all dates are derived from historical and current bar time.
- Past patterns do not guarantee future behavior.
Originality
Provides a single, adjustable visualization combining opex, VIX expiration, and configurable vanna/charm/weakness windows into one tool. Fully explained so non-coders can use it without reading the source code.

13/48 EMA Trading Scalper (ATR TP/SL)13/48 EMA Trading Scalper (ATR TP/SL)
What it does:
This tool looks for price “touches” of the 13-EMA, only takes CALL entries when the 13 is above the 48 (uptrend) and PUT entries when the 13 is below the 48 (downtrend), and confirms with a simple candle pattern (green > red with expansion for calls, inverse for puts). Touch sensitivity is ATR-scaled, so signals adapt to volatility. Each trade gets auto-drawn entry, TP, and SL lines, colored labels with $ / % distance from entry, plus optional TP/SL hit alerts. A rotating color palette and per-bar label staggering help keep the chart readable. Old objects are auto-pruned via maxTracked.
How it works
Trend filter: 13-EMA vs 48-EMA.
Entry: ATR-scaled touch of the 13-EMA + candle confirmation.
Risk: TP/SL = ATR multiples you control.
Visuals: Entry/TP/SL lines (extend right), vertical entry marker (optional), multi-line labels.
Hygiene: maxTracked keeps only the last N trades’ objects; labels are staggered to reduce overlap.
Alerts: Buy Call, Buy Put, Take Profit Reached, Stop Loss Hit.
Key Inputs
Fast EMA (13), Trend EMA (48), ATR Length (14)
Touch Threshold (x ATR) – how close price must come to the EMA
Take Profit (x ATR), Stop Loss (x ATR)
maxTracked – number of recent trades to keep on chart
Tips
Start with Touch = 0.10–0.20 × ATR; TP=2×ATR, SL=1×ATR, then tune per symbol/timeframe.
Works on intraday and higher TFs; fewer, cleaner signals on higher TFs.
This is an indicator, not a broker—always backtest and manage risk.
✨Smart Option MACD: Bullish, Bearish, Neutral Logic by AKM ✨The **Smart Option MACD: Bullish, Bearish, Neutral Logic by AKM** is an advanced indicator designed for TradingView, tailored for option traders on indices like NIFTY. It automates options trend scanning by applying MACD analysis to both Call (CE) and Put (PE) options near the ATM (At-The-Money) strike, providing actionable market states—Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral—using distinct logic for both strikes and overall market context.
***
### Core Features
- **Option Selection Logic:** The script dynamically calculates ATM, CE, and PE strike prices based on the underlying index spot price and customizable user inputs for expiry, strike distance, and OTM/ITM shift.
- **MACD on Option Prices:** For both CE and PE symbols, the indicator computes the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and Signal lines. It uses standard MACD settings: 12-period EMA (fast), 26-period EMA (slow), and 9-period Signal.
- **Strike Status Classification:**
- AZL 🔼: Indicates MACD > 0 for that option, signifying positive momentum.
- BZL 🔽: Indicates MACD 0 & crossover up), PE is bearish (MACD<0 & crossover down).
- **Bearish:** PE is bullish & crossover up, CE is bearish & crossover down.
- **Neutral:** All other scenarios—including mixed or undefined signals.
***
### Table Output
A real-time table is displayed on the chart (top-right) with key option and market details:
- Spot price
- ATM Strike
- CE/PE strike status (momentum + crossover logic)
- Option prices
- Overall market state, color-coded for clarity
***
### How to Use This Indicator
- **Entry Signal:** Use the Bullish/Bearish status for directional trades or option strategies. Bullish calls for buying or selling upward momentum options; Bearish favors downside trades. Neutral advises caution or range-bound trades.
- **Customizability:** Expiry, strike width, OTM/ITM offset, and chart resolution are user-controlled, allowing adaptation to different market contexts.
- **Best Practice:** Use alongside price action, support/resistance zones and other indicators to confirm options momentum, as MACD is powerful yet not infallible.
***
### Who Is It For?
- **Option traders** who want to automate trend/momentum detection for CE/PE strikes instead of manual chart switching.
- **Index traders** (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY...) seeking systematic edge in intraday/positional strategies tied to option momentum.
- **Technical analysts** interested in visual, rule-based signals combining options data and classic MACD logic.
***
The Smart Option MACD indicator streamlines multi-strike, multi-option momentum analysis and presents clear actionable logic directly on your chart for enhanced decision-making. Use it as a core part of your TradingView toolkit for options-focused market views.
RSI 20/80 Arrows + AlertsRSI 20/80 Arrows + Alerts

GLD GC Price Converter Its primary function is to fetch the prices of the Gold ETF (ticker: GLD) and Gold Futures (ticker: GC1!) and then project significant price levels from one or both of these assets onto the chart of whatever instrument you are currently viewing.
Core Functionality & Features
Dual Asset Tracking: The script simultaneously tracks the prices of GLD and Gold Futures (GC).
Dynamic Price Level Projection: The script's main feature is its ability to calculate and draw horizontal price levels. It determines a "base price" (e.g., the nearest $100 level for GC) and then draws lines at specified increments above and below it. The key is that these levels are projected onto the current chart's price scale.
On-Chart Information Display:
Price Table: A customizable table can be displayed in any corner of the chart, showing the current prices of GLD and GC. It can also show the daily percentage change for GC, colored green for positive changes and red for negative ones.
Last Price Label: It can show a label next to the most recent price bar that displays the current prices of both GLD and GC.
Extensive Customization: The user has significant control over the indicator's appearance and behavior through the settings panel.
This includes:
Toggling the display for GLD and GC levels independently.
Adjusting the multiplier for the price levels (e.g., show levels every $100 or $50 for GC).
Changing the colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and horizontal offset for the labels.
Defining the number of price levels to display.
Controlling the text size for labels and the table.
Choosing whether the script updates on every tick or only once per candle close for better performance.

Crypto Options Greeks & Volatility Analyzer [BackQuant]Crypto Options Greeks & Volatility Analyzer
Overview
The Crypto Options Greeks & Volatility Analyzer is a comprehensive analytical tool that calculates Black-Scholes option Greeks up to the third order for Bitcoin and Ethereum options. It integrates implied volatility data from VOLMEX indices and provides multiple visualization layers for options risk analysis.
Quick Introduction to Options Trading
Options are financial derivatives that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price (strike price) within a specific time period (expiration date). Understanding options requires grasping two fundamental concepts:
Call Options : Give the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price. Calls increase in value when the underlying price rises above the strike price.
Put Options : Give the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price. Puts increase in value when the underlying price falls below the strike price.
The Language of Options: Greeks
Options traders use "Greeks" - mathematical measures that describe how an option's price changes in response to various factors:
Delta : How much the option price moves for each $1 change in the underlying
Gamma : How fast delta changes as the underlying moves
Theta : Daily time decay - how much value erodes each day
Vega : Sensitivity to implied volatility changes
Rho : Sensitivity to interest rate changes
These Greeks are essential for understanding risk. Just as a pilot needs instruments to fly safely, options traders need Greeks to navigate market conditions and manage positions effectively.
Why Volatility Matters
Implied volatility (IV) represents the market's expectation of future price movement. High IV means:
Options are more expensive (higher premiums)
Market expects larger price swings
Better for option sellers
Low IV means:
Options are cheaper
Market expects smaller moves
Better for option buyers
This indicator helps you visualize and quantify these critical concepts in real-time.
Back to the Indicator
Key Features & Components
1. Complete Greeks Calculations
The indicator computes all standard Greeks using the Black-Scholes-Merton model adapted for cryptocurrency markets:
First Order Greeks:
Delta (Δ) : Measures the rate of change of option price with respect to underlying price movement. Ranges from 0 to 1 for calls and -1 to 0 for puts.
Vega (ν) : Sensitivity to implied volatility changes, expressed as price change per 1% change in IV.
Theta (Θ) : Time decay measured in dollars per day, showing how much value erodes with each passing day.
Rho (ρ) : Interest rate sensitivity, measuring price change per 1% change in risk-free rate.
Second Order Greeks:
Gamma (Γ) : Rate of change of delta with respect to underlying price, indicating how quickly delta will change.
Vanna : Cross-derivative measuring delta's sensitivity to volatility changes and vega's sensitivity to price changes.
Charm : Delta decay over time, showing how delta changes as expiration approaches.

2. Implied Volatility Analysis
The indicator includes a sophisticated IV ranking system that analyzes current implied volatility relative to its recent history:
IV Rank : Percentile ranking of current IV within its 30-day range (0-100%)
IV Percentile : Percentage of days in the lookback period where IV was lower than current
IV Regime Classification : Very Low, Low, High, or Very High
Color-Coded Headers : Visual indication of volatility regime in the Greeks table
Trading regime suggestions based on IV rank:
IV Rank > 75%: "Favor selling options" (high premium environment)
IV Rank 50-75%: "Neutral / Sell spreads"
IV Rank 25-50%: "Neutral / Buy spreads"
IV Rank < 25%: "Favor buying options" (low premium environment)
3. Gamma Zones Visualization
Gamma zones display horizontal price levels where gamma exposure is highest:
Purple horizontal lines indicate gamma concentration areas

Options Strategy V2.0📈 Options Strategy V2.0 – Intraday Reversal-Resilient Momentum System
Overview:
This strategy is designed specifically for intraday SPY, TSLA, MSFT, etc. options trading (0DTE or 1DTE), using high-probability signals derived from a confluence of technical indicators: EMA crossovers, RSI thresholds, ATR-based risk control, and volume spikes. The strategy aims to capture strong directional moves while avoiding overtrading, thanks to a built-in cooldown logic and optional time/session filters.
⚙️ Core Concept
The strategy executes trades only in the direction of the prevailing trend, determined by short- and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Entry signals are generated when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms momentum in the direction of the trend, and volume spikes suggest institutional activity.
To increase adaptability and user control, it includes a highly customizable parameter set for both long and short entries independently.
📌 Key Features
✅ Trend-Following Logic
Long entries are only allowed when EMA(short) > EMA(long)
Short entries are only allowed when EMA(short) < EMA(long)
✅ RSI Confirmation
Long: Requires RSI crossover above a configurable threshold
Short: Requires RSI crossunder below a configurable threshold
Optional rejection filters: Entry blocked above/below specific RSI extremes
✅ Volume Spike Filter
Confirms institutional participation by comparing current volume to an average multiplied by a user-defined factor.
✅ ATR-Based Risk Management
Both Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) are dynamically calculated using ATR × a multiplier.
TP/SL ratio is fully configurable.
✅ Cooldown Control
After every trade, the system waits for a set number of bars before allowing new entries.
This prevents overtrading and increases signal quality.
Optionally, cooldown is ignored for reversal trades, ensuring the system can react immediately to a confirmed trend change.
✅ Candle Body Filter (Noise Control)
Avoids trades on candles with too small bodies relative to wicks (often noise or indecision candles).
✅ VWAP Confirmation (Optional)
Ensures price is trading above VWAP for long entries, or below for short entries.
✅ Time & Session Filters
Trades only during regular market hours (09:30–16:00 EST).
No-trade zone (e.g., 14:15–15:45 EST) to avoid low-liquidity traps or late-day whipsaws.
✅ End-of-Day Auto Close
All open positions are force-closed at 15:55 EST, protecting against overnight risk (especially relevant for 0DTE options).
📊 Visual Aids
EMA plots show trend direction
VWAP line provides real-time mean-reversion context
Stop Loss and Take Profit lines appear dynamically with each trade
Alerts notify of entry signals and exit triggers
🔧 Customization Panel
Nearly every element of the strategy can be tailored:
EMA lengths (short and long, for both sides)
RSI thresholds and length
ATR length, SL multiplier, and TP/SL ratio
Volume spike sensitivity
Minimum EMA distance filter
Candle body ratio filter
Session restrictions
Cooldown logic (duration + reversal exception)
This makes the strategy extremely versatile, allowing both conservative and aggressive configurations depending on the trader’s profile and the market context.
📌 Example Use Case: SPY Options (0DTE or 1DTE)
This system was designed and tested specifically for SPY and other intraday options trading, where:
Delta is around 0.50 or higher
Trades are short-lived (often 1–5 candles)
You aim to trade 1–3 signals per day, filtering out weak entries
🚫 Important Notes
It is not a scalping strategy; it relies on confirmed breakouts with trend support
No pyramiding or re-entries without cooldown to preserve risk integrity
Should be used with real-time alerts and manual broker execution
📈 Alerts Included
📈 Long Entry Signal
📉 Short Entry Signal
⚠️ Auto-closed all positions at 15:55 EST
✅ Proven Settings – Real Trades + Backtest Results
The current version of the strategy includes the optimal settings I’ve arrived at through extensive backtesting, as well as 3 months of real trading with consistent profitability. These results reflect real-world execution under live market conditions using 0DTE SPY options, with disciplined trade management and risk control.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Options Strategy V2.0 is a robust, highly tunable intraday strategy that blends momentum, trend-following, and volume confirmation. It is ideal for disciplined traders focused on SPY or other 0DTE/1DTE options, and it includes guardrails to reduce false signals and improve execution timing.
Perfect for those who seek precision, flexibility, and risk-defined setups—not blind automation.
