Killzones & Previous High-Low Liquidity [odnac]This indicator is designed for use in intraday trading to visualize key "Killzones" (specific time windows during different global market sessions) and highlight liquidity levels based on previous highs and lows from the previous day and week.
It helps traders identify potential market entry and exit points based on time-based trading zones and price action levels.
Key Features:
Killzone (Market Session Timeframes):
Asia (2000-0000 UTC): Displays a shaded box over the Asia trading session.
Europe (0200-0500 UTC): Highlights the European trading session.
New York AM (0830-1100 UTC): Represents the morning session of the NY market.
New York PM (1330-1600 UTC): Represents the afternoon session of the NY market.
Each of these timeframes can be customized in terms of session start and end times, and the shaded areas will help identify high liquidity periods when the market tends to be more active.
Previous High-Low Liquidity Zones:
Previous Week's High/Low: Displays lines at the high and low of the previous week.
These are important liquidity levels that can influence price action.
Previous Day's High/Low: Shows the high and low from the previous trading day.
These are also significant levels to watch for potential support and resistance.
Filters and Customization:
Position Filtering: The indicator allows users to filter out previous highs or lows if the current price doesn't align with those levels.
For example, it can filter out previous week highs if the current price is lower than that level.
Vertical Lines: Optional vertical lines to highlight key time points such as the start and end of the previous week and day.
How It Works:
The indicator visually draws "killzones" as shaded regions on the chart, indicating periods of increased market activity.
This can help traders align their strategies with the most liquid periods of the day.
The previous high and low lines (both for the previous week and the previous day) are drawn as solid lines and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Labels are added to indicate the specific levels and periods.
The indicator provides clear visual cues, helping traders assess if the price is near important liquidity levels and whether the current market conditions align with those levels.
Customizable Settings:
You can control whether each Killzone and liquidity level is shown on the chart.
Color customization for the various zones and lines is also available.
The indicator also lets you decide whether to hide weekend data, set time-frame limits, and choose whether or not to show vertical lines at the beginning and end of each trading session.
This indicator is aimed at traders who want to trade based on high-liquidity periods and understand where key support and resistance levels are likely to emerge based on previous price action.

NY 5M ORB-COMEX OpenThe indicator is designed to display dynamic and static key market levels, including Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels, Initial Daily Range (IDR), and other important session levels. It offers extensive customization to accommodate a variety of trading strategies and sessions, all while providing an adaptable user interface for traders to personalize their charts.
#### Key Features:
1. **Session Timings**:
- The script allows you to define regular and extended market hours. These timings can be adjusted using input fields for the market open range, session start, and session end times, with default settings for the U.S. stock market.
2. **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**:
- You can enable or disable lines for the High/Low (H/L) and Open/Close (O/C) of the first 5-minute candle, which are key for ORB strategies.
- Optional middle lines are provided for both H/L and O/C, offering additional reference points for price action.
3. **Multiple Plot Styles and Line Types**:
- The script includes customization for line styles (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted) and colors for ORB, IDR, and session markers, giving traders flexibility in visualizing key market levels.
4. **Dynamic and Static Levels**:
- Users can choose to display either dynamic or static lines for additional price levels that extend throughout the session. Dynamic levels automatically adapt based on the session’s high and low, while static levels are manually configured.
- These lines can also display labels with the option to turn on or off their visibility.
5. **Custom Time Zone and Session Adjustments**:
- The script offers full flexibility in adjusting session timings based on different time zones, which is crucial for global traders working in different markets.
6. **Background Shading**:
- You can add shading between high and low levels for a more visual representation of ranges during specific sessions (e.g., ORB or IDR), and customize the color and transparency of this background.
7. **Comex Open Indicator**:
- An additional feature highlights the Comex Open, with optional labels, making it useful for traders who follow commodities markets.
#### Known Issues:
- The indicator requires a chart with intraday time frames (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute) for accurate display.
- Extensive customization may lead to performance issues on lower-end machines or in high-frequency chart environments due to the number of drawn elements (lines, boxes, labels).
This indicator is suitable for advanced traders who need detailed control over their session timing and price level analysis, with multiple layers of customization for visualizing key market behaviors.

Expanded Features of Mxwll Price Action Suite
Internal and External Structures
Internal Structures: These elements refer to the price formations and patterns that occur within a smaller scope or a specific trading session. The suite can detect intricate details like minor support/resistance levels or short-term trend reversals.
External Structures: These involve larger, more significant market patterns and trends spanning multiple sessions or time frames. This capability helps traders understand overarching market directions.
Customizable Sensitivities
Adjusting sensitivity settings allows users to tailor the indicator's responsiveness to market changes. Higher sensitivity can catch smaller fluctuations, while lower sensitivity might focus on more significant, reliable market moves.
Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH)
BoS: This feature identifies points where the price breaks a significant structure, potentially indicating a new trend or a trend reversal.
CHoCH: Detects subtle shifts in the market's behavior, which could suggest the early stages of a trend change before they become apparent to the broader market.
Order Blocks and Market Phases
Order Blocks: These are essentially price levels or zones where significant trading activities previously occurred, likely pointing to the positions of smart money.
HH/LH/LL/LH Areas: Identifying Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH) helps in understanding the trend and market structure, aiding in predictive analysis.
Rolling Timeframe Highs/Lows and Volume Comparisons
Tracks highs and lows over specified rolling periods, providing dynamic support and resistance levels.
Compares volume data across different timeframes to assess the strength or weakness of the current price movements.
Auto Fibonacci Levels
Automatically calculates and plots Fibonacci retracement levels, a popular tool among traders to identify potential reversal points based on past movements.
Session Data and Volume Intensity
Session Information: Displays current and upcoming trading sessions along with countdown timers, which is crucial for day traders and those trading on session overlaps.
Volume Intensity: Measures and compares the volume within the last 4 hours and 24 hours to gauge market activity and potential breakout/breakdown movements.
Visualizations and Practical Use
Dynamic Visuals: The suite provides dynamic visual aids, such as real-time updating of high/low markers and Fibonacci levels, which adjust as new data comes in. This feature is critical in fast-paced markets.
Strategic Entry/Exit Points: By identifying order blocks and using Fibonacci levels, traders can pinpoint strategic entry and exit points, maximizing potential returns.
Risk Management: Enhanced features like session countdowns and volume intensity help in better risk management by providing traders with more data on market sentiment and potential volatility.
ICT Seek & Destroy Profile [TFO]The goal of this indicator is to anticipate potentially "choppy" New York trading sessions, based on what price does during the Asia and London trading sessions. Based on some user-defined success criteria, we can also track how successful these warnings are.
Many Inner Circle Trader (ICT) students have noted that choppy New York sessions are often preceded by erratic London sessions which take both the high and low of the Asian range.
When this criteria is true and warnings are enabled, a table will automatically populate with a custom warning message for the duration of the NY session, indicating to the user that it could be a choppy trading day.
We can measure and track the success rate of these warnings via the following success criteria:
- NY stays within London range
- NY exceeds London high and low
- NY closes within London range
- NY range is too small
The first three criteria should be self explanatory - the NY range either stays within the London high & low, exceeds them both, or closes within them.
The last criteria is a measure of the New York range compared to a user defined standard deviation of all historical ranges (for the number of sessions that the current chart can load). The default value of 1.5 would imply that a "successful" S&D day could be if the NY range (from high to low) was less than or equal to 1.5 standard deviations of all past ranges.
All these options can be toggled on/off as well, for those that only want to consider certain success criteria and not others. When any of the selected success criteria are true, that essentially indicates that the current session's warning was successful.
SMT - Smart Money Thursday Boxes
The Smart Money Trading Thursday - is a very specific trading system. You only trade it on a Thursday.
The script/indicator will color Thursdays as two boxes. If you just want one color, use same color for
both boxes. The boxes is there to indicate London/New York sessions.
SETTINGS
In the setting you find a numeric value as 1700-0400:5
The "5" indicate Thursday. You can change that if you prefer to color another specific day.
For example "4" would indicate Wednesday. And you can change the hours to fit your
sessions and trading style.
You can also use the 2 boxes on different days. If you for example would like to color up
London for Wednesday and Thursday. Then set hours to fit London session and adjust the
:5 to 4 on the 1st box and 5 on the 2nd.
HOW TO USE IT?
The Smart Money works in a way retail trading does not. Smart Money has an objective
to locate retail patterns, where there will be a lot of stop loss volume to be grabbed.
So when a retail trader see a setup like a "Double Top / Bottom". The Institutional
will see $$$ of dumb money, ready to be taken. The best moves happen on a Thursday
but if you are a skilled trader, you can see the move also occur on Wednesday or Friday.
The first thing that will happen, is that the Smart Money Breaks out of session. Meaning
they will leave the current weeks high/low range. To start collect negative contracts
of the retail volume.
When you see that happen. And you see a breakout that consist of 4 in a row 1 hour
chart candles. Then you have your first rule meet.
#1 Thursday breakout of current weeks high/low. And the move is a clean 4 hour move
as 4x H1 candles. The move can start within range. But must end clearly outside.
Visual Example:
#2 Next, we await an engulf at peak or near peak. That is where Institutional
may have problem to match any more contracts, and since they used their own
money to make this move. They must now mitigate orders, and return back to
the original retail pattern as most retail traders are now stopped out.
(Normally this is a long/clear candle out of range. they rarely go lower
then retail traders entry in the 1st push. This to not save any souls :)
#3 Price returns back to where the breakout from the retail happens.
You can now take your profit as a Smart Money Trader. Trading with less risk,
you can take profit of the return of that latest 4x H1 candle move. (Order
Block)
CONCLUSION
The best trade is when you can combine a retail pattern, followed by a
breakout which holds 4x 1 hour candles in the outbreak direction.
2nd best is when you have the 4x H1 breakout and really no clear retail
pattern. Still is the same game. Just not as clear as the one above.
Study the steps in this image and you see what to look after:
Good Luck with your trading!

RVOL - R4RocketRelative volume or RVOL for short is an indicator that is used to measure how 'In Play' the stock is. Simply put, it helps to quantify how interested everybody is in the given stock - higher the value, higher the interest and hence higher is the probability for movement in the stock.
I have tried to create RVOL (Relative Volume ) Indicator as per the description that I read on SMB Capital blog. The blog is a great resource.
...................................................................................................................................................................................
How to use the indicator - The indicator is meant for INTRADAY ONLY.
The indicator has following inputs -
1. RVOL Period - Value from 3 to 14 (Default Value = 4)
This is used to calculate the average volume over the given period of days. e.g. average volume for the last 5 days, last 3 days, last 10 days etc. NOTE - If you use higher RVOL Period on smaller timeframes, the code will give an error. So I recommend using 4 or lower for 5 min timeframe. (Nothing will work on 1 min chart and you can experiment for other timeframes.)
2. RVOL Sectional - True / False (Default Value = False)
If you check this box then you will be able to calculate the RVOL for a particular session (or between particular sessions) in that trading day.
What do I mean by session?
Well I have divided the trading day into 6 (almost) equally spaced sessions in time, i.e. 6 hours and 15 mins (for NSE - India) of trading day is divided into 1 hr - 1st session, 1 hr - 2nd session, 1 hr - 3rd session, 1 hr - 4th session, 1 hr - 5th session, 1 hr and 15 min - 6th session.
Before using 3rd and 4th inputs of indicator, RVOL Sectional box MUST BE CHECKED FIRST.
3. RVOL From Session - 1 to 6 (Default Value = 1)
4. RVOL To Session - 1 to 6 (Default Value = 2)
Now if you select 2 in "RVOL From Session" input and 3 in "RVOL To Session" input, the indicator will calculate RVOL for the 2nd and 3rd hour of the trading day. If you select 3 in both the inputs, then the indicator will give RVOL for the 3rd hour of the trading day.
5. RVOL Trigger - 0.2 to 10 (Default Value = 2)
Filter to find days having RVOL above that value. The indicator turns green (or colour of your choice) when RVOL is more than "RVOL Trigger".
...................................................................................................................................................................................
Hope this indicator will add some value in your trading endeavor.

NYMO Fib Levels - RGNYMO is a single-session tool built around Fibonacci projections from the New York morning move. It automatically marks the NYMO session, measures its high–low range and projects your custom fib multiples above and below price, with every level drawn and labelled so you always know exactly which multiple you are trading around.
The core of the script is the 12:00–12:30 opening window. That first 30 minutes is treated as the price-discovery phase of the session: it captures the initial burst of liquidity, the repricing of overnight positions and the first real directional push. The high and low of 12:00–12:30 form the opening range, and all fib projections are anchored to that move, turning the very first half-hour into a structured map for the rest of the session.
On top of the fib framework, NYMO can show the NYMO session box, compare the current range to recent NYMO statistics, and trigger alerts when price breaks the NYMO high or low or trades through key fib areas. It is built for traders who only care about the New York morning and want all of their structure, targets and alerts driven by fibs from that one defined opening window.

GARCH Range PredictorThis was inspired by deltatrendtrading's video on GARCH models to predict daily trading ranges and identify favorable trading conditions. Based on advanced volatility forecasting techniques, it predicts whether a trading day's true range will exceed a threshold, helping traders decide when to trade or skip a session.
Key Features
GARCH(1,1) Volatility Modeling: Uses log-transformed true ranges with exponential moving average centering
Forward-Looking Predictions: Makes predictions at session start before the day unfolds
Dynamic or Static Thresholds: Choose between fixed dollar thresholds or adaptive 20-day averages
Accuracy Tracking: Monitors prediction accuracy with overall and recent (20-day) hit rates
Visual Session Boxes: Colors trading sessions green (trade) or red (skip) based on predictions
Real-Time Statistics: Displays current predictions, thresholds, and performance metrics
How It Works
Data Transformation: Log-transforms daily true ranges and centers them using an EMA
Variance Modeling: Updates GARCH variance using: σ²ₜ = ω + α(residual²) + β(σ²ₜ₋₁)
Prediction Generation: Back-transforms log predictions to dollar values
Signal Generation: Compares predictions to threshold to generate trade/skip signals
Performance Tracking: Validates predictions against actual outcomes
Parameters
GARCH Parameters (ω, α, β): Control volatility persistence and mean reversion
EMA Period: Smoothing period for log range centering
Threshold Settings: Static dollar amount or dynamic multiplier of recent averages
Session Time: Define regular trading hours for analysis
Best Use Cases
Breakout and momentum strategies that perform better on high-range days
Risk management by avoiding low-volatility sessions
Futures day trading (optimized for MNQ/NQ detection)
Any strategy where daily range impacts profitability
Important Notes
Requires 5+ sessions for initialization and warm-up
Accuracy depends heavily on proper parameter tuning for your specific instrument
Default parameters may need adjustment for different markets

Niv Deal + Previ D W M + OPR + Asian🧭 Indicator Description (English)
Name: Niveaux Dealers + Previous D/W/M Auto + OPR + Asian Session
Platform: TradingView (Pine Script v6)
Type: Multi-module visual indicator for market structure and session ranges
🧩 Overview
This indicator combines three complementary modules to help traders visualize key market levels, opening ranges, and session dynamics — all in one comprehensive tool.
It is designed primarily for index and futures trading (e.g. NQ, ES, DAX), but can be applied to any market or timeframe.
MODULE 1 — Dealers Levels + Previous High/Low (Auto)
This first module automatically extracts and plots custom Dealer Levels and Previous Period Levels.
It can parse manually entered price levels (from a single text input) such as daily max/min, control levels, put supports, and call resistances — then draw horizontal lines and labels on the chart.
Features:
One text input for all dealer levels (easy copy-paste format).
Automatic parsing of prices from text (ignores irrelevant characters).
Groups of levels:
Maxima (Max 1D / Event / Extreme)
Minima (Min 1D / Event / Extreme)
Buyer/Seller Controls
Put Supports and Call Resistances
Independent color, style, and width for each line.
Transparent rectangular labels positioned perfectly on the levels.
Previous Daily, Weekly, and Monthly High/Low levels added automatically.
Optional summary table showing all levels and values in real time.
MODULE 2 — OPR (Opening Price Range)
The second module highlights the Opening Price Range, defined by the first 15 minutes (or any chosen period) of the trading session.
Features:
Fully configurable start and end time (local chart timezone).
Displays:
High, Low, and Midline (median)
Optional rectangle between high/low
Optional labels on each line
Independent color, line style, and thickness.
Works perfectly with non-standard sessions (e.g. 13:30–22:00 UTC for U.S. futures).
Uses local chart time instead of exchange time for intuitive control.
MODULE 3 — Asian Session Range
The third module draws the Asian trading session range, automatically detecting price action between configurable hours (default 17:00 → 01:00).
Features:
Adjustable start and end time (supports overnight sessions).
Plots Asian High, Asian Low, and Asian Middle (mid-range line).
Highlights the Asian box area with semi-transparent color.
Optional labels at the end of each level.
Fully synchronized with the chart’s local timezone (same logic as OPR).
Simple toggle to enable or disable the entire Asian module.
⚙️ Customization & Display
Each module can be toggled independently.
Colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and thickness are customizable.
Label visibility and extensions (left/right) can be adjusted.
The indicator is lightweight and optimized for real-time performance.
💡 Use Case
Traders can use this multi-module setup to:
Identify dealer reaction zones and institutional levels.
Track previous highs/lows for potential liquidity sweeps.
Monitor session ranges (Opening and Asian) for volatility shifts.
Combine all three perspectives (Dealer, Session, Historical) into one unified view.

Total Points Range by exp3rtsThis indicator measures and displays the true intraday movement of a market by approximating tick-level activity using 1-second data aggregation. Instead of only looking at net candle movement, it sums every price change during a session, giving traders a more accurate picture of market effort and volatility.
Total Points Moved (TPM) – Captures the full distance traveled by price, not just the net gain/loss.
Bullish vs. Bearish Movement – Separates upward and downward moves so you can see who dominated the session.
Custom Sessions – Define your own session start/end times and time zone for precise tracking.
End-of-Session Summary – Automatically plots a label at session completion with totals for TPM, bullish, and bearish movement.
Visual Session Highlighting – Background shading makes it easy to see when the chosen session is active.
This tool is useful for:
Understanding the true effort vs. result of price movement
Comparing volatility across sessions
Identifying whether bulls or bears contributed more to market swings
Supporting order flow and tick-based trading strategies
TPO Levels [VAH/POC/VAL] with Poor H/L, Single Prints & NPOCs### 🎯 Advanced Market Profile & Key Level Analysis
This script is a unique and comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to help traders understand market structure, value, and key liquidity levels using the principles of **Auction Market Theory** and **Market Profile**.
This script is unique (and shouldn't be censored) because :
It allows large history of levels to be displayed
Accurate as possible tick size
Doesn't draw a profile but only the actual levels
Supports multi-timeframe levels even on the daily mode giving macro context
There is no indicator out there that does it
While these concepts are universal, this indicator was built primarily for the dynamic, 24/7 nature of the **cryptocurrency market**. It helps you move beyond simple price action to understand *why* the market is moving, which is especially crucial in the volatile crypto space.
### ## 📊 The Concepts Behind the Calculations
To use this script effectively, it's important to understand the core concepts it is built upon. The entire script is self-contained and does not require other indicators.
* **What is Market Profile?**
Market Profile is a unique charting technique that organizes price and time data to reveal market structure. It's built from **Time Price Opportunities (TPOs)**, which are 30-minute periods of market activity. By stacking these TPOs, the script builds a distribution, showing which price levels were most accepted (heavily traded) and which were rejected (lightly traded) during a session.
* **What is the Value Area (VA)?**
The Value Area is the heart of the profile. It represents the price range where **70%** of the session's trading volume occurred. This is considered the "fair value" zone where both buyers and sellers were in general agreement.
* **Point of Control (POC):** The single price level with the most TPOs. This was the most accepted or "fairest" price of the session and acts as a gravitational line for price.
* **Value Area High (VAH):** The upper boundary of the 70% value zone.
* **Value Area Low (VAL):** The lower boundary of the 70% value zone.
VAH and VAL are dynamic support and resistance levels. Trading outside the previous session's value area can signal the start of a new trend.
***
### ## 📈 Key Features Explained
This script automatically calculates and displays the following critical market-generated information:
* **Multi-Timeframe Market Profile**
Automatically draws Daily, Weekly, and Monthly profiles, allowing you to analyze market structure across different time horizons. The script preserves up to 20 historical sessions to provide deep market context.
* **Naked Point of Control (nPOC)**
A "Naked" POC is a Point of Control from a previous session that has **not** been revisited by price. These levels often act as powerful magnets for price, representing areas of unfinished business that the market may seek to retest. The script tracks and displays Daily, Weekly, and Monthly nPOCs until they are touched.
* **Single Prints (Imbalance Zones)**
A Single Print is a price level where only one TPO traded during the session's development. This signifies a rapid, aggressive price move and an imbalanced market. These areas, like gaps in a traditional chart, are frequently revisited as the market seeks to "fill in" these thin parts of the profile.
* **Poor Structure (Unfinished Auctions)**
A **Poor High** or **Poor Low** occurs when the top or bottom of a profile is flat, with two or more TPOs at the extreme price. This suggests that the auction in that direction was weak and inconclusive. These weak structures often signal a high probability that price will eventually break that high or low.
***
### ## 💡 How to Use This Indicator
This tool is not a signal generator but an analytical framework to improve your trading decisions.
1. **Determine Market Context:** Start by asking: Is the current price trading *inside* or *outside* the previous session's Value Area?
* **Inside VA:** The market is in a state of balance or range-bound. Look for trades between the VAH and VAL.
* **Outside VA:** The market is in a state of imbalance and may be starting a trend. Look for continuation or acceptance of prices outside the prior value.
2. **Identify Key Levels:**
* Use historical **nPOCs** as potential profit targets or areas to watch for a price reaction.
* Treat historical **VAH** and **VAL** levels as significant support and resistance zones.
* Note where **Single Prints** are. These are often price magnets that may get "filled" in the future.
3. **Spot Weakness:**
* A **Poor High** suggests weak resistance that may be easily broken.
* A **Poor Low** suggests weak support, signaling a potential for a continued move lower if broken.
***
### ## ⚙️ Customization & Crypto Presets
The indicator is highly customizable, allowing you to change colors, transparency, the number of historical sessions, and more.
To help traders get started quickly, the indicator includes **built-in layout presets** specifically calibrated for major cryptocurrencies: ** BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P , BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P , and BINANCE:SOLUSDT.P **. These presets automatically adjust key visual parameters to better suit the unique price characteristics and volatility of each asset, providing an optimized view right out of the box.
***
### ## ⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for market analysis and should not be interpreted as direct buy or sell signals. It provides information based on historical price action, which does not guarantee future results. Trading involves significant risk, and you should always use proper risk management. This script is designed for use on standard chart types (e.g., Candlesticks, Bar) and may produce misleading information on non-standard charts.

- Automatically adjusts for U.S. DST (2nd Sunday of March to 1st Sunday of November) and Australian DST (1st Sunday of October to 1st Sunday of April).
- Assigns colors to four time zones (00:00, 06:30, 14:00, 21:00).
- **Use Case**: Helps forex/stock traders identify active market sessions.
---
#### **2. Key Logic**
- **DST Detection**:
- `f_isUSDst`: Checks U.S. DST status.
- `f_isAustraliaDst`: Checks Australian DST status.
- **Time Adjustment** (`f_getAdjustedTime`):
- U.S. DST off: Shifts `time3` (14:00) forward by 1 hour.
- Australian DST off: Shifts `time4` (21:00) forward by 1 hour.
- **Time Conversion** (`f_timeToMinutes`): Converts time (e.g., "14:00") to minutes (e.g., 840).
- **Current Time** (`f_currentTimeInMinutes`): Gets UTC time in minutes.
- **Background Color** (`f_getBackgroundColor`):
- Applies colors based on time ranges:
- 00:00–06:30: Orange (Asia)
- 06:30–14:00: Purple (London)
- 14:00–21:00: Blue (New York, DST-adjusted)
- 21:00–00:00: Red (Sydney, DST-adjusted)
- Outside ranges: Gray
---
#### **3. Settings**
- **Time Zones**:
- `time1` = 00:00 (Orange)
- `time2` = 06:30 (Purple)
- `time3` = 14:00 (Blue, DST-adjusted)
- `time4` = 21:00 (Red, DST-adjusted)
- **Colors**: Transparency set to 90 for visibility.
---
#### **4. Example**
- **September 5, 2025, 10:25 PM JST (13:25 UTC)**:
- U.S. DST active, Australian DST inactive.
- 13:25 UTC falls between `time2` (06:30) and `time3` (14:00) → Background is **Purple** (London session).
- **Effect**: Background color changes dynamically to reflect active sessions.
---
#### **5. Customization**
- Modify `time1`–`time4` or colors for different sessions.
- Add time zones for other markets (e.g., Tokyo).
---
#### **6. Notes**
- Uses UTC; ensure chart is set to UTC.
- DST rules are U.S./Australia-specific; verify for other regions.
A simple, visual tool for tracking market sessions.

Fibs Has Lied 🌟 Fibs Has Lied - Indicator Overview 🌟
Designed for indices like US30, NQ, and SPX, this indicator highlights setups where price interacts with key EMA levels during specific trading sessions (default: 6:30–11:30 AM EST).
🌟 Key Features & Levels 🌟
🔹EMA Crossover Setups
The indicator uses the 100-period and 200-period EMAs to identify bullish and bearish setups:
- Bullish Setup: Triggers when the 100 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, followed by two consecutive candles opening above the 100 EMA, with the low within a specified point distance (e.g., 20 points for US30).
- Bearish Setup: Triggers when the 100 EMA crosses below the 200 EMA, followed by two consecutive candles opening below the 100 EMA, with the high within the point distance.
- Signals are marked with green (buy) or red (sell) triangles and text, ensuring you don’t miss a setup. 📈
🔹 Reset Conditions for Re-Entries
After an initial setup, the indicator watches for “reset” opportunities:
- Buy Reset: If price moves below the 200 EMA after a bullish crossover, then returns with two consecutive candles where lows are above the 100 EMA (within point distance), a new buy signal is plotted.
- Sell Reset: If price moves above the 200 EMA after a bearish crossover, then returns with two consecutive candles where highs are below the 100 EMA (within point distance), a new sell signal is plotted.
This feature captures additional entries after liquidity grabs or fakeouts, aligning with ICT’s manipulation concepts. 🔄
🔹 Session-Based Filtering
Focus your trades during high-liquidity windows! The default session (6:30–11:30 AM EST, New York timezone) targets the London/NY overlap, where price often seeks liquidity or sets up for reversals. Toggle the time filter off for 24/7 signals if desired. 🕒
🔹Symbol-Specific Point Distance
Customizable entry zones based on your chosen index:
- US30: 20 points from the 100 EMA.
- NQ: 3 points from the 100 EMA.
- SPX: 2.5 points from the 100 EMA.
This ensures setups are tailored to the volatility of your market, maximizing relevance. 🎯
🔹 Market Structure Markers (Optional)
Visualize swing points with pivot-based labels:
- HH (Higher High): Signals uptrend continuation.
- HL (Higher Low): Indicates potential bullish support.
- LH (Lower High): Suggests weakening uptrend or reversal.
- LL (Lower Low): Points to downtrend continuation.
- Toggle these on/off to keep your chart clean while analyzing trend direction. 📊
🔹 EMA Visualization
Optionally plot the 100 EMA (blue) and 200 EMA (red) to see key levels where price reacts. These act as dynamic support/resistance, perfect for spotting liquidity pools or ICT’s Power of 3 setups. ⚖️
🌟 Customization Options 🌟
- Symbol Selection: Choose US30, NQ, or SPX to adjust point distance for entries.
- Time Filter: Enable/disable the 6:30–11:30 AM EST session to focus on high-liquidity periods.
- EMA Display: Toggle 100/200 EMAs on/off to reduce chart clutter.
- Market Structure: Show/hide HH/HL/LH/LL labels for cleaner analysis.
- Signal Markers: Green (buy) and red (sell) triangles with text are auto-plotted for easy identification.
🌟 Usage Tips 🌟
- Best Timeframes: Use on 3m for intraday scalping and 30m for swing trades.
- Combine with ICT Tools: Pair with order blocks, fair value gaps, or kill zones for stronger setups.
- Focus on Session: The default 6:30–11:30 AM EST session captures London/NY volatility—perfect for liquidity-driven moves.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Disable market structure or EMAs if you only want setup signals.
X Opens+Overview:
The X Opens+ indicator is a precision tool designed for traders seeking to analyze market structure and behavior around key timeframe opens. It highlights the open prices of custom-selected higher timeframes—such as daily, weekly, or monthly sessions—and visualizes them directly on lower timeframes. These open levels often coincide with high-volume zones, market imbalance, and institutional interest, making them powerful reference points for intraday and swing trading strategies.
Key Features:
Custom Timeframe Anchoring: Users can select any timeframe (e.g., daily, 4H, 1W) to display its current and previous session opens directly on their active chart. This allows for flexible multi-timeframe analysis within a single view.
Price Reaction Zones: Timeframe opens are frequently areas of heightened liquidity and directional bias. By identifying these opens and their relationship to current price action, traders can anticipate areas of support/resistance, trend continuation, or reversal.
Derived Midpoints and Ranges: The indicator also computes and displays the previous session’s range midpoint (EQ), as well as extension bands (e.g., ±1.0x or ±1.5x the prior range). These levels are useful for contextualizing volatility expansion and identifying breakout or fade setups around key open zones.
Historical Session Mapping: In addition to live opens, the tool optionally displays opens and range-based levels from previous sessions. This historical layering gives traders a broader context of how price has respected or rejected these levels over time.
Labeling and Customization: Each level can be labeled and color-coded to match user preferences. The visibility, size, and style of each element (e.g., lines, labels, bands) are fully configurable for visual clarity and user alignment.
Use Cases:
Confirming bias around daily or weekly opens, especially during market opens or key economic releases.
Identifying equilibrium levels for mean reversion or continuation setups.
Using ±1.0 and ±1.5 range projections as dynamic targets or invalidation zones.
Anchoring to key sessions for volume profile or order flow-based strategies.
Summary:
X Opens+ is a data-driven utility that transforms static session opens into dynamic market tools. By spotlighting where institutional interest likely concentrates—at the opens of significant timeframes—this indicator provides traders with a structural edge in identifying key zones that influence price behavior throughout the trading day or week
Trend TraderDescription and Usage of the "Trend Trader" Indicator
The "Trend Trader" indicator, created by Gerardo Mercado as a legacy project, is a versatile trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals across various instruments. While it provides predefined settings for popular instruments like US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, it can be seamlessly adapted to any market, including forex pairs like EUR/USD. The indicator combines moving averages, time-based filters, and MACD confirmation to enhance decision-making for traders.
How It Works
Custom Moving Averages (MAs):
The indicator uses two moving averages:
Short MA: A faster-moving average (default: 10 periods).
Long MA: A slower-moving average (default: 100 periods).
Buy signals are generated when the Short MA crosses above the Long MA.
Sell signals are triggered when the Short MA crosses below the Long MA.
Time-Based Signals:
The user can define specific trading session times (start and end in UTC) to focus on high-activity periods for their chosen market.
Signals and background coloring are only active during the allowed session times.
MACD Confirmation:
A MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation on a 15-minute timeframe ensures stronger confirmation for signals.
Buy signals require the MACD line to be above the signal line.
Sell signals require the MACD line to be at or below the signal line.
Target Levels:
Predefined profit targets are dynamically set based on the selected trading instrument.
While it includes settings for US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, the target levels can be adjusted to fit the volatility and structure of any asset, including forex pairs like EUR/USD.
Target 1 and Target 2 levels display when these thresholds are met after an entry signal.
Adaptability to Any Market:
Although predefined options are included for specific instruments, the indicator's moving averages, time settings, and MACD logic are applicable to any tradable asset, making it suitable for forex, commodities, indices, and more.
Visual Alerts:
Labels appear on the chart to highlight "BUY" and "SELL" signals at crossover points.
Additional labels indicate when price movements reach the predefined target levels.
Bar and background coloring visually represent active signals and MACD alignment.
Purpose
The indicator aims to simplify trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies. By integrating moving averages, MACD, customizable time sessions, and dynamic targets, it offers clear entry and exit points while being adaptable to the needs of individual traders across diverse markets.
How to Use
Setup:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure the moving average periods, trading session times, and target levels according to your preferences.
Select the instrument for predefined target settings or customize them to fit the asset you’re trading (e.g., EUR/USD or other forex pairs).
Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: The Short MA crosses above the Long MA, MACD confirms the upward trend, and the session is active.
Sell Signal: The Short MA crosses below the Long MA, MACD confirms the downward trend, and the session is active.
Adapt for Any Instrument:
Adjust the predefined target levels to match the volatility and trading style for your chosen asset.
For forex pairs like EUR/USD, consider typical pip movements to set appropriate profit targets.
Targets:
Use the provided target labels (e.g., 50 or 100 points) or customize them to reflect realistic profit goals based on the asset’s volatility.
Visual Aids:
Pay attention to the background color:
Greenish: Indicates a bullish trend during the allowed session.
Redish: Indicates a bearish trend during the allowed session.
Use the "BUY" and "SELL" labels for actionable insights.
This indicator is a flexible and powerful tool, suitable for traders across all markets. Its adaptability ensures that it can enhance your strategy, whether you’re trading forex, commodities, indices, or other assets. By offering actionable alerts and customizable settings, the "Trend Trader" serves as a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. FX:EURUSD

Long-Only Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with Pivot PointsIntraday Trading Strategy: Long-Only Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with Pivot Points
Background:
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is a popular long-only trading strategy that capitalizes on the early morning volatility in financial markets. It's based on the idea that the initial price movements during the first few minutes or hours of the trading day can set the tone for the rest of the session. The strategy involves identifying a price range within which the asset trades during the opening period and then taking long positions when the price breaks out to the upside of this range.
Pivot Points are a widely used technical indicator in trading. They represent potential support and resistance levels based on the previous day's price action. Pivot points are calculated using the previous day's high, low, and close prices and can help traders identify key price levels for making trading decisions.
How to Use the Script:
Initialization: This script is written in Pine Script, a domain-specific language for trading strategies on the TradingView platform. To use this script, you need to have access to TradingView.
Apply the Script: You can do this by adding it to your favorites, then selecting the script in the indicators list under favorites or by searching for it by name under community scripts.
Customize Settings: The script allows you to customize various settings through the TradingView interface. These settings include:
Opening Session: You can set the time frame for the opening session.
Max Trades per Day: Specify the maximum number of long trades allowed per trading day.
Initial Stop Loss Type: Choose between using a percentage-based stop loss or the previous candles low for stop loss calculations.
Stop Loss Percentage: If you select the percentage-based stop loss, specify the percentage of the entry price for the stop loss.
Backtesting Start and End Time: Set the time frame for backtesting the strategy.
Strategy Signals:
The script will display pivot points in blue (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5) and half-pivot points in gray (R0.5, R1.5, R2.5, R3.5, R4.5) on your chart.
The green line represents the opening range.
The script generates long (buy) signals based on specific conditions:
---The open price is below the opening range high (h).
---The current high price is above the opening range high.
---Pivot point R1 is above the opening range high.
---It's a long-only strategy designed to capture upside breakouts.
---It also respects the maximum number of long trades per day.
The script manages long positions, calculates stop losses, and adjusts long positions according to the defined rules.
Trailing Stop Mechanism
The script incorporates a dynamic trailing stop mechanism designed to protect and maximize profits for long positions. Here's how it works:
1. Initialization:
The script allows you to choose between two types of initial stop loss:
---Percentage-based: This option sets the initial stop loss as a percentage of the entry price.
---Previous day's low: This option sets the initial stop loss at the previous day's low.
2. Setting the Initial Stop Loss (`sl_long0`):
The initial stop loss (`sl_long0`) is calculated based on the chosen method:
---If "Percentage" is selected, it calculates the stop loss as a percentage of the entry price.
---If "Previous Low" is selected, it sets the stop loss at the previous day's low.
3. Dynamic Trailing Stop (`trail_long`):
The script then monitors price movements and uses a dynamic trailing stop mechanism (`trail_long`) to adjust the stop loss level for long positions.
If the current high price rises above certain pivot point levels, the trailing stop is adjusted upwards to lock in profits.
The trailing stop levels are calculated based on pivot points (`r1`, `r2`, `r3`, etc.) and half-pivot points (`r0.5`, `r1.5`, `r2.5`, etc.).
The script checks if the high price surpasses these levels and, if so, updates the trailing stop accordingly.
This dynamic trailing stop allows traders to secure profits while giving the position room to potentially capture additional gains.
4. Final Stop Loss (`sl_long`):
The script calculates the final stop loss level (`sl_long`) based on the following logic:
---If no position is open (`pos == 0`), the stop loss is set to zero, indicating there is no active stop loss.
---If a position is open (`pos == 1`), the script calculates the maximum of the initial stop loss (`sl_long0`) and the dynamic trailing stop (`trail_long`).
---This ensures that the stop loss is always set to the more conservative of the two values to protect profits.
5. Plotting the Stop Loss:
The script plots the stop loss level on the chart using the `plot` function.
It will only display the stop loss level if there is an open position (`pos == 1`) and it's not a new trading day (`not newday`).
The stop loss level is shown in red on the chart.
By combining an initial stop loss with a dynamic trailing stop based on pivot points and half-pivot points, the script aims to provide a comprehensive risk management mechanism for long positions. This allows traders to lock in profits as the price moves in their favor while maintaining a safeguard against adverse price movements.
End of Day (EOD) Exit:
The script includes an "End of Day" (EOD) exit mechanism to automatically close any open positions at the end of the trading day. This feature is designed to manage and control positions when the trading day comes to a close. Here's how it works:
1. Initialization:
At the beginning of each trading day, the script identifies a new trading day using the `is_newbar('D')` condition.
When a new trading day begins, the `newday` variable becomes `true`, indicating the start of a new trading session.
2. Plotting the "End of Day" Signal:
The script includes a plot on the chart to visually represent the "End of Day" signal. This is done using the `plot` function.
The plot is labeled "DayEnd" and is displayed as a comment on the chart. It signifies the EOD point.
3. EOD Exit Condition:
When the script detects that a new trading day has started (`newday == true`), it triggers the EOD exit condition.
At this point, the script proceeds to close all open positions that may have been active during the trading day.
4. Closing Open Positions:
The `strategy.close_all` function is used to close all open positions when the EOD exit condition is met.
This function ensures that any remaining long positions are exited, regardless of their current profit or loss.
The function also includes an `alert_message`, which can be customized to send an alert or notification when positions are closed at EOD.
Purpose of EOD Exit
The "End of Day" exit mechanism serves several essential purposes in the trading strategy:
Risk Management: It helps manage risk by ensuring that positions are not left open overnight when markets can experience increased volatility.
Capital Preservation: Closing positions at EOD can help preserve trading capital by avoiding potential adverse overnight price movements.
Rule-Based Exit: The EOD exit is rule-based and automatic, ensuring that it is consistently applied without emotions or manual intervention.
Scalability: It allows the strategy to be applied to various markets and timeframes where EOD exits may be appropriate.
By incorporating an EOD exit mechanism, the script provides a comprehensive approach to managing positions, taking profits, and minimizing risk as each trading day concludes. This can be especially important in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies, where overnight price swings can be significant.
Backtesting: The script includes a backtesting feature that allows you to test the strategy's performance over historical data. Set the start and end times for backtesting to see how the long-only strategy would have performed in the past.
Trade Execution: If you choose to use this script for live trading, make sure you understand the risks involved. It's essential to set up proper risk management, including position sizing and stop loss orders.
Monitoring: Monitor the long-only strategy's performance over time and be prepared to make adjustments as market conditions change.
Disclaimer: Trading carries a risk of capital loss. This script is provided for educational purposes and as a starting point for your own long-only strategy development. Always do your own research and consider seeking advice from a qualified financial professional before making trading decisions.
Range Projections [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to see how often price reached certain standard deviations from a selected time range. The inspiration for this was to study ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts regarding the Central Bank Dealer’s Range (CBDR), which is 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm New York local time according to ICT Core Content. However, the idea and data collection could certainly be applied to any range of time.
The main settings of this indicator are session time, range type, and the standard deviation filter. The session time is the window of price that will be utilized for range projections. The range type can be either body or wick (on the current timeframe). The standard deviation filter is used to eliminate sessions whose ranges (from high to low) are greater than the desired/input number of standard deviations from all available session ranges.
In this example, the time range is set to 16:00 - 20:00, or the time between the New York session close and the Asia session open. Our standard deviations are set to 1, 2, 2.5, and 4. Now, by taking this session’s price range and extrapolating these extensions from the initial range, we can use these levels to see if and how price interacts with them before the next 16:00 - 20:00 session.
Furthermore, we can enable the Data Table to analyze how often price trades to these levels for the sessions that are deemed valid (determined by the standard deviation filter). This time our standard deviations are set to 1, 2, 3, and 4.
This concept can theoretically be applied to any window of time. ICT has mentioned that, in instances where the CBDR is too large, the Asia range may be used instead. We can observe that the indicator behaves the same way when we change the session to the Asia range, 20:00 - 00:00.
Murder Algo Stats: last portion of Indices closing hour (S&P)Stats regarding the 'murder algo' (last 10mins of the closing hour). Works on all sub-1hr timeframes. Best used on 5min, 10min 15min timeframe. Ideal use on 10min timeframe.
Can be applied to other user input sessions also
What i'm calling the 'Murder Algo' is the tendency of dynamic lower time frame price action in the final 10minutes of the S&P closing hour (or any of the three major US indices: S&P, Nasdaq, Dow).
If there are un-met liquidity targets (i.e. clean highs or lows) as we come into the last portion of the closing hour, price has a tendency to stretch up or down to reach these targets, swiftly.
These statisitics are somewhat experimental/research; trying to quantify this tendency. Please comment below if you think of some additions / modifications that may prove useful.
//Purpose:
-To get statistics of the tendency to 'reach' of the final bar (10minute bar in the above) of the closing hour in Indices (3pm - 4pm NY time).
-Specifically to see how often price reaches for HH or LL in the final bar of the closing hour (most of the time); and to see how far it reaches one way when it does (Mean, median, mode).
//Notes:
-Two sets of historical stats; one is based on the 'solo reach' of the last bar; the other is based on the reach of the last bar from the average price of the preceding bars of the session (purple line in the above)
-Works on any timeframe below hourly. Ideally used on 10min timeframe, but may be interesting to plot on 15min or 5min timeframe also.
-Should also work on custom user-defined session; though this indicator was explicly designed to investigate the 'murder algo': that final rush and/or whipsaw tendency of price in the last few minutes of Regular trading on Indices.
-For S&P, best used on SPX, which gives the longest history of all the S&P variants due to only showing Regular trading hours bars (500 days of history on 10min timeframe, for premium users)
-For most stats, i've rounded to ES1! mintick (i.e. rounded to nearest quarter dollar) =>> This allows more meaningful values for 'mode' statistical measure.
-I trade S&P; but this 'muder algo' phenomenon also obviously presents in Nasdaq and Dow.
//User Inputs:
-Session time input (defaults to closing hour 3pm - 4pm NY time)
-Average method (for the average of all the input session EXCEPT the final bar)
-Toggle on/off Average line.
-other formatting options: text color, table position, line color/style/size.
Example usage with annotations on SPX 500 chart 15m timeframe; using closing hour (3pm-4pm NY time) as our session:

calcPsyLevels(oneWeekMillis, showPsylevels, psyType, sydDST)
calculate the psy levels
4 hour res based on how mt4 does it
mt4 code
int Li_4 = iBarShift(NULL, PERIOD_H4, iTime(NULL, PERIOD_W1, Li_0)) - 2 - Offset;
ObjectCreate("PsychHi", OBJ_TREND, 0, Time , iHigh(NULL, PERIOD_H4, iHighest(NULL, PERIOD_H4, MODE_HIGH, 2, Li_4)), iTime(NULL, PERIOD_W1, 0), iHigh(NULL, PERIOD_H4,
iHighest(NULL, PERIOD_H4, MODE_HIGH, 2, Li_4)));
so basically because the session is 8 hours and we are looking at a 4 hour resolution we only need to take the highest high an lowest low of 2 bars
we use the gmt offset to adjust the 0000-0800 session to Sydney open which is at 2100 during dst and at 2200 otherwize. (dst - spring foward, fall back)
keep in mind sydney is in the souther hemisphere so dst is oposite of when london and new york go into dst
Parameters:
oneWeekMillis : a constant value
showPsylevels : should psy levels be calculated
psyType : the type of Psylevels - crypto or forex
sydDST : is Sydney in DST
@return
Tristan's Tri-band StrategyTristan's Tri-band Strategy - Confluence Trading System
Strategy Overview:
This strategy combines three powerful technical indicators - RSI, Williams %R, and Bollinger Bands - into a single visual trading system. Instead of cluttering your chart with separate indicator panels, all signals are displayed directly on the price chart using color-coded gradient overlays, making it easy to spot high-probability trade setups at a glance.
How It Works:
The strategy identifies trading opportunities when multiple indicators align (confluence), suggesting strong momentum shifts:
📈 Long Entry Signals:
RSI drops to 30 or below (oversold)
Williams %R reaches -80 to -100 range (oversold)
Price touches or breaks below the lower Bollinger Band
All three conditions must align during your selected trading session
📉 Short Entry Signals:
RSI rises to 70 or above (overbought)
Williams %R reaches 0 to -20 range (overbought)
Price touches or breaks above the upper Bollinger Band
All three conditions must align during your selected trading session
Visual Indicators:
(faint) Green gradients below candles = Bullish oversold conditions (buying opportunity)
(faint) Red/Orange gradients above candles = Bearish overbought conditions (selling opportunity)
Stacked/brighter gradients = Multiple indicators confirming the same signal (higher probability) will stack and show brighter / less faint
Blue Bollinger Bands = Volatility boundaries and mean reversion zones
Exit Strategy:
Long trades exit when price reaches the upper Bollinger Band OR RSI becomes overbought (≥70)
Short trades exit when price reaches the lower Bollinger Band OR RSI becomes oversold (≤30)
Key Features:
✅ Session Filters - Trade only during NY (9:30 AM-4 PM), London (3 AM-11:30 AM), or Asia (7 PM-1 AM EST) sessions
✅ No Repainting - Signals are confirmed on candle close for realistic backtesting and live trading
✅ Customizable Parameters - Adjust RSI levels, BB standard deviations, Williams %R periods, and gradient visibility
✅ Visual Clarity - See all three indicators at once without switching between panels
✅ Built-in Alerts - Get notified when entry and exit conditions are met
How to Use Effectively:
Choose Your Trading Session - For day trading US stocks, enable only the NY session. For forex or 24-hour markets, select the sessions that match your schedule.
Look for Gradient Stacking - The brightest, most visible gradients occur when both RSI and Williams %R signal together. These are your highest-probability setups.
Confirm with Price Action - Wait for the candle to close before entering. The strategy enters on the next bar's open to prevent repainting.
Respect the Bollinger Bands - Entries occur at the outer bands (price extremes), and exits occur at the opposite band or when momentum reverses.
Backtest First - Test the strategy on your preferred instruments and timeframes. Works best on liquid assets with clear trends and mean reversion patterns (stocks, major forex pairs, indices).
Adjust Gradient Visibility - Use the "Gradient Strength" slider (lower = more visible) to make signals stand out on your chart style.
Best Timeframes: 5-minute to 1-hour charts for intraday trading; 4-hour to daily for swing trading (I have also found the 3 hour timeframe to work really well for some stocks / ETFs.)
Best Markets: Liquid instruments with volatility - SPY, QQQ, major stocks, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, major indices
Risk Management: This is a mean reversion strategy that works best in ranging or choppy markets. In strong trends, signals may appear less frequently. Always use proper position sizing and stop losses based on your risk tolerance.
