Easy Scalping Lot Calculator for ForexThe calculator was created to make it easier to calculate the lot size on Forex. I planned to use it for the following pairs: AUDCAD, AUDCHF, AUDJPY, AUDUSD, EURAUD, EURCAD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, EURNZD, EURUSD, GBPCHF, GBPJPY, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, USDJPY, XAUUSD.
The indicator is a table that shows the calculation of the lot for a predetermined stop loss.
For example, you are planning a trade, have calculated a stop loss of 15 points, and by checking the table you understand approximately what lot you need to use to limit your risk.
In the settings you can change the risk and also determine the stop loss value in points.
The calculator does not take into account the spread in the calculations.
There are websites where you can accurately calculate the lot, but if you trade on small time frames this is not suitable for you.
The calculator uses the formula:
Lot size = maximum risk / stop loss (in pips) / minimum pip value x minimum trading lot.

CHN BUY SELLCHN BUY SELL is formed from two RSI indicators, those are RSI 14 and RSI 7 . I use RSI 14 to determine the trend and RSI 7 to find entry points.
+ Long (BUY) Signal:
- RSI 14 will give a "BUY" signal, then RSI 7 will give entry point to LONG when the candle turns yellow.
+ Short (SELL) Signal:
- RSI 14 will give a "EXIT" signal, then RSI 7 will give entry point to SHORT when the candle turns purple.
+ About Take Profit and Stop Loss:
- With Gold, I usually set Stop Loss and Take Profit at 50 pips
- With currency pairs, I usually keep my Stop Loss and Take Profit at 30 pips
- With crypto, I usually keep Stop Loss and Take Profit at 1.5%
Recommended to use in time frame M15 and above .
This method can be used to trade Forex, Gold and Crypto.
My idea is formed on the view that when the price is moving strongly, the RSI 14 will tell us what the current trend is through a "BUY" or "EXIT" signal. When RSI 14 reaches the oversold area it will form a "BUY" signal and when it reaches the overbought area it will give an "EXIT" signal. I believe that when the price reaches the oversold or overbought area, the price momentum has also decreased and is about to reverse.
After receiving a signal from RSI 14, my job is to wait for an Entry signal from RSI 7. When RSI 7 reaches the overbought area, a yellow candle will appear and that's when we enter a LONG order. When the RSI 7 reaches the oversold area, a purple candle will appear and that's when we enter a SHORT order.
RAVI FX Fisher [Loxx]RAVI FX Fisher is a special implementation of RAVI using WMA moving averages and ATR and then normalized like Fisher Transform. If the histogram falls between the white lines, the market is too choppy to trade. This indicator is tuned for Forex.
What is RAVI?
The Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) indicator shows the percentage difference between current prices and past prices to identify market trends. It is calculated based on moving averages of different lengths.

Currency Strength Meter [HeWhoMustNotBeNamed]⬜ Note: This is not the strength of currency pairs. But, in this script we are trying to derive strength of individual currencies by matching against single base currency.
⬜ Process
This is based on similar concept as that of Magic Numbers for stocks. Idea is simple.
▶ Calculate strength of each currency against USD. Derive the strength for both price movement and volume movement.
▶ Similarly calculate momentum of price and volume change.
▶ If USD is base currency, inverse momentum and strength index for the given symbol.
▶ Once these calculations are done, rank each currencies based on individual score on given things.
▶ Add up all the ranks to derive combined rank
▶ sort the currencies in the ascending order of overall rank.
⬜ USAGE
▶ Identify a base currency. In our case, we have used USD as base currency as it is easy to get pairs of all currencies with USD.
▶ Identify most used combos for all other currencies which are paired with USD. Fx pair can either have USD as base currency or quote currency. It is desirable to use the pair which is most traded. For example, USDJPY is more traded pair than JPYUSD - hence it is advisable to use USDJPY instead of JPYUSD. Similarly AUDUSD is more traded than USDAUD - hence choosing AUDUSD for the purpose of this exercise is better approach. Notice that USDJPY has USD as base currency whereas AUDUSD has USD as quote currency. These calculations are handled internally to derive the right outcome irrespective of position of USD in the pair.
▶ Identify the forex broker which has all the selected forex tickers. All comparison is done against a single broker. Hence, choosing broker which does not wide range of forex pairs will show NAN for many rows.
▶ Once we set these, we get tabular output containing strength and oscillator based trend indexes for both price and volume indicator. Currencies are ordered in descending order of strength. Hence, top of the list can be considered as currency having highest strength and bottom of the table can be considered as currency having lowest strength. Please note that the calculation is valid only for selected timeframe and users can set other parameters such as moving average type, oscillator type, length etc which can alter the outcome.
▶ Use multiple timeframes to find out stronger and weaker currencies. Use directional indicators to understand where they are heading. Combine all these info to come up with currency pair you would like to trade :)
⬜ Settings
▶ Main settings and Currencies
Base Currency : This is set to USD by default as rest of the tickers used are paired with USD. Whatever the base currency is selected, rest of the tickers should follow the same combination.
Timeframe : Timeframe for which rankings need to be calculated.
Currencies : These should be the currency pair which involve base currency defined in the setting on either side.
▶ Display
Table : Allows users to set table location and size of the table. By default this is set to middle center and default size is normal. If user want to use multiple timeframes side by side, they can do so by changing these display settings.
Stat Type : To show either comparative ranking or actual indicator values
Reversal zone finderThis script would find potential reversal price zones according to RSI over bought or sell condition and big reversal candle.
It works better in range markets and lower time frames like 5M and especially in Support/Resistance zones.
Suit for scalping in forex or crypto markets.
* Use it as a trade assistant not a trade signal!
Alino Forex SystemInizia a fare qualche spiccio con il forex.
Un indicatore di swing trading è uno strumento di analisi tecnica utilizzato per identificare nuove opportunità. Gli swing trader vogliono trarre profitto dai mini trend che sorgono tra alti e bassi (e viceversa). Per fare ciò, devono identificare il nuovo slancio il più rapidamente possibile, quindi utilizzano indicatori.
Ci sono due tipi di opportunità che uno swing trader utilizzerà per identificare gli indicatori: tendenze e breakout. Le tendenze sono movimenti di mercato a lungo termine che contengono oscillazioni a breve termine. I breakout segnano l'inizio di una nuova tendenza.
Gli swing trader potrebbero utilizzare indicatori su quasi tutti i mercati: inclusi forex , indici e azioni .

quarter level 0.5 to 2.0This script could help to see edged level for a reverse on forex, not for yen pairs and is based on quarter and round number theory.
I suggest to use it on H4 timeframe or lower to have a confermation on support or resistance level.
Hammers & Stars StrategyOverview
This script trades basic hammer and shooting star candlestick patterns.
It's an extremely simple strategy with minimal filters, and according to my personal manual backtesting and automated trading results, performs best on the Daily chart on certain forex pairs.
It is intended to be traded on the forex markets but theoretically should work on all markets (especially if you optimize the settings).
The script also comes with complete AutoView automation for Oanda.
Make sure you've connected AutoView to TradingView and Oanda, then simply set an alert using the "alert() function calls only" condition and it will automatically execute trades based on whatever settings you've selected (only recommended for experienced traders - use at your own risk!)
If you're not sure how to set up AutoView, search "The Art of Trading AutoView Guide" on YouTube to find my detailed video guide.
Check out my website and YouTube channel for more information, scripts, resources and free Pine Script & trading lessons (link in my profile).
Best of luck with your trading!

Experimental Entry Interface (Buy Arrows with TP & SL)This script provides high probability entry points and includes Take Profit and Stop Loss targets.
It attempts to predict when the market conditions are set to move up, and prints long positions.
In addition to Long Entry Arrows, it will print Take Profit / Stop Loss targets.
This indicator is highly adjustable. Hence the name 'Experimental' in the title. Experiment with it to find the results you want.
Designed for use on the 1H timeframe in Forex, but could possibly be useful elsewhere. Do your own testing.
This indicator can repaint. It is best used with alerts set for once per bar close, so that your alerts do not repaint and your trades are solid.
Not ever signal is a winner. Backtest thoroughly. Adjust accordingly.
Arrows
Four sets of colored arrows are included.
💵 💶 Green and Blue Entry Arrows are formed when the market is in an uptrend, and has a momentary pullback.
💴 💷 Yellow and Purple Entry Arrows are formed when the market is just starting to recover from being severely oversold.
Backtest Mode
Turn on Backtest Mode to easily see if an entry ended up as a winner or loser. A Take Profit and Stop Loss line will be drawn to show results.
Take Profit & Stop Loss Targets
You have two options for this.
Price will show you where your TP/SL exits should be placed. These values will show up under the arrow, based on your Risk/Reward ratio.
Pips are much more simple, and will only show you the market entry point and how many pips up/down to place your SL/TP. Warning: This is fixed at a 1:1 RRR .
Risk/Reward Adjustment
Each entry arrow color allows custom risk/reward ratio adjustment.
Dollar Amounts Displayed
Change your account value and leverage to see how much you would have won on each trade.
How to trade with it?
(Forex, 1H) Open the settings, and turn on all the arrow entries. Turn on Backtest mode to see how past trades would have played out. Turn on TakeProfit/StopLoss Targets to see where to set your targets, for each arrow. Set an alert to notify you once per candle close when there is an Entry. Trade happy!
Bill Williams Alligators are also included, if you want. Not necessary though. Some of the calculations depend on them for trend direction analysis.
TradingView's Technical AnalysisAll indicators used on the Technical Analysis Summary from TradingView, composed with oscillators and moving averages. Sell and strong sell will represent more indicators showing sell signals. Buy and strong buy will represent more indicators showing buy signals. A white bar will show neutral signal (don't trade). This can be good for binary options or scalping on small time frames, but also very good on higher times for forex. The signal will appear on the candle before, so wait for the new candle to appear to see what direction the signal will indicate.

Currency StrengthRepublished: The original script violated house rules by including an external link to Backtest Rookies.
Background
The currency strength indicator takes up to 4 forex pairs and calculates the average strength across all pairs. The indicator uses the pair's daily percentage change to calculate the overall strength. For flexibility, it can accept any instrument as an input. This means you can use multiple instances to track various currency strengths. It was designed with the major pairs in mind but there is no reason why it cannot be used for other FX pairs.
Note: The indicator defaults to GBP. When setting it up for other currencies, be sure to flag whether the currency is a counter currency or not.
The code is provided free and open source. Please modify it as you see fit.

EDUVEST UTBOT ADJ - Adaptive ATR Trailing StopEDUVEST UTBOT ADJ - Adaptive ATR Trailing Stop with Session-Based Sensitivity
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ ORIGINALITY
This indicator is an enhanced version of the classic UT Bot concept, featuring automatic session-based ATR sensitivity adjustment. Unlike the original UT Bot which uses a fixed sensitivity value, this version dynamically adapts to different trading sessions (Tokyo, London, New York) and automatically detects asset characteristics to optimize signal generation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ WHAT IT DOES
- Generates BUY and SELL signals based on ATR trailing stop crossovers with a moving average
- Automatically adjusts sensitivity based on current trading session (Tokyo/London/NY)
- Auto-detects asset type and applies optimized parameters for each instrument
- Displays real-time session information and volatility status
- Provides alert functionality with customizable cooldown periods
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW IT WORKS
【Core Logic: ATR Trailing Stop】
The indicator calculates an ATR-based trailing stop using the formula:
Trailing Stop = Price ± (Sensitivity × ATR)
When price is above the trailing stop and rising, the stop trails below price.
When price is below the trailing stop and falling, the stop trails above price.
【Signal Generation】
- BUY Signal: Price crosses above the trailing stop AND Moving Average crosses above the trailing stop
- SELL Signal: Price crosses below the trailing stop AND Moving Average crosses below the trailing stop
【Session-Based Sensitivity Adjustment】
The indicator adjusts ATR sensitivity based on trading session (JST timezone):
- Tokyo (08:00-15:00): Lower sensitivity (reduced by adjustment value) - typically quieter markets
- London (15:00-23:00): Base sensitivity - moderate volatility
- New York (23:00-08:00): Higher sensitivity (increased by adjustment value) - higher volatility
【Dynamic ATR Adjustment】
When enabled, the indicator compares current ATR to its smoothed average:
- ATR Ratio = Current ATR / SMA(ATR, smoothing period)
- Volatility Multiplier = 1.0 + (Sensitivity × (2.0 - ATR Ratio))
This reduces sensitivity during high volatility (fewer false signals) and increases sensitivity during low volatility (faster response).
【Auto Asset Detection】
The indicator automatically detects the traded instrument and applies optimized parameters:
- Stable pairs (USDJPY, EURUSD, USDCHF): Base sensitivity 1.5-1.8
- Moderate pairs (AUDUSD, USDCAD, EURJPY): Base sensitivity 2.0-2.3
- Volatile pairs (GBPUSD): Base sensitivity 2.8
- Commodities (GOLD/XAUUSD): Base sensitivity 3.5
- Indices (NASDAQ/NAS100): Base sensitivity 4.0
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW TO USE
【Recommended Settings】
- Timeframe: 15 minutes or higher (15M, 1H, 4H recommended)
- Best performance on: Forex majors, Gold, NASDAQ
- Enable "Auto Asset Detection" for optimized parameters
【Entry Rules】
- BUY: Enter long when green BUY label appears
- SELL: Enter short when pink SELL label appears
【Session Panel】
The top-right panel displays:
- Current trading session (Tokyo/London/NY)
- Volatility status (High Chance/Medium Chance/Caution)
- Mode (AUTO/MANUAL)
【Alert Setup】
1. Enable "Viewer Alert Display" in settings
2. Set cooldown period (default: 15 minutes) to avoid signal spam
3. Create alert with "Any alert() function call" condition
【Important Notes】
- This indicator does not repaint - signals are confirmed at bar close
- Lower timeframes (1M, 5M) may generate excessive signals
- Always use proper risk management and confirm with other analysis
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ SETTINGS OVERVIEW
🎯 Alert Settings
- Viewer Alert Display: Enable/disable alert labels
- Cooldown Function: Prevent rapid consecutive signals
- Cooldown Time: Minutes between alerts (5-60)
🔧 Dynamic ATR Settings
- Enable Dynamic ATR: Auto-adjust based on volatility
- ATR Period: Calculation period (default: 14)
- ATR Smoothing: Smoothing period for ratio calculation
- Volatility Sensitivity: How much to adjust (0.1-1.0)
🕐 Session ATR Adjustment
- Enable Time Adjustment: Session-based sensitivity
- Show Session Info: Display session panel
📊 Asset Settings
- Auto Asset Detection: Automatically optimize for instrument
- Manual settings available when auto-detection is disabled

Scalp Hunter [Scalping-Algo]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 SCALP HUNTER
Precision ATR Momentum System for Fast Timeframes
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Scalp Hunter is a high-accuracy scalping indicator designed specifically for
low timeframe trading (3M, 4M, 5M). It combines ATR-based trailing stops with
multiple confirmation filters to deliver clean, actionable signals.
✅ No Repaint
✅ No Delay
✅ Confirmed Signals Only
✅ Multi-Filter Validation
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses an ATR Trailing Stop as its core engine. When price crosses
the trail line, a potential signal is generated. But here's what makes it
accurate — signals must pass through 4 additional filters:
│
├─ 📊 PRICE ACTION FILTER
│ • Candle must close in signal direction
│ • Body size > 50% of full candle range
│ • Confirms strong momentum, not weak wicks
│
├─ 📈 VOLUME FILTER
│ • Volume must exceed 1.1x of 10-period average
│ • Filters out low-conviction moves
│ • Toggle on/off in settings
│
├─ 📉 EMA TREND FILTER
│ • Long signals: price must be above 21 EMA
│ • Short signals: price must be below 21 EMA
│ • Keeps you trading with the trend
│
└─ 🔥 MOMENTUM FILTER (RSI)
• RSI must confirm direction (>50 for longs, <50 for shorts)
• Avoids overbought/oversold extremes
• Fast 7-period RSI tuned for scalping
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trading involves substantial risk. This indicator is a tool, not financial
advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always:
• Use proper position sizing
• Set stop losses on every trade
• Never risk more than you can afford to lose
• Backtest before live trading
• Combine with your own analysis
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ Trade during high-volume sessions (London/NY open)
✦ Avoid signals during major news releases
✦ Confirm with higher timeframe trend
✦ Best results on liquid pairs/assets
✦ Keep all filters ON for highest accuracy
✦ Turn off filters only if you need more signals
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most ATR trailing indicators give too many signals. Scalp Hunter is different:
❌ Other indicators: Signal on every trail cross
✅ Scalp Hunter: Signal only when 5 conditions align
This means fewer trades, but higher probability setups.

Ultimate Major Contextual Dashboard (Multi-Asset)Overview : The Ultimate Major Dashboard is a performance-optimized market overview tool designed to provide a consolidated snapshot of the 7 major Forex pairs and Gold. It aggregates correlation, trend, momentum, and volatility data into a single, clean table, allowing users to view broader market context without switching charts.
Technical Logic & Components : This indicator utilizes a modular function to analyze EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, USDCAD, NZDUSD, and XAUUSD across four key dimensions:
Intermarket Correlation (Pearson Coefficient): Uses ta.correlation() to compare each asset against the symbol currently on your main chart.
Logic: Values above 0.7 (Dark Green) suggest a strong positive relationship, while values below -0.7 (Dark Red) suggest inverse behavior. This is calculated over a rolling 50-period window to balance stability with current market sensitivity.
Trend Bias (EMA-200): Evaluates the long-term trend by checking price position relative to the 200-period Exponential Moving Average.
Visuals: An upward arrow (⬆) indicates price is above the EMA; a downward arrow (⬇) indicates it is below.
Momentum (RSI-14): Calculates the Relative Strength Index. The dashboard automatically highlights readings above 70 (OB) or below 30 (OS) to help identify potential momentum extremes.
Volatility (ATR-14): Displays the Average True Range as a reference for the current active range of each market, helping users compare volatility levels across the majors.
How to Interpret the Dashboard
Asset Alignment: Correlation values help identify when pairs are moving in "unison" versus when a specific currency is diverging from the group.
Directional Context: Combining the Trend (EMA) and Momentum (RSI) columns provides a quick view of whether a market is trending strongly or reaching an exhaustion point.
Volatility Benchmarking: The ATR values offer perspective on which pairs are currently the most active, assisting in market comparison based on volatility preference.
Data Handling & Customization
Multi-Symbol Sync: Data is fetched using request.security(). The calculations are synchronized with the chart's current bar state for real-time accuracy.
Dynamic TF: Users can select the analysis timeframe (60, 240, D, W) via the settings menu.
Flexibility: The dashboard position can be toggled between all four corners of the chart to avoid overlapping with price action.

================================================================================
⚠️ IMPORTANT: INSTRUMENT SELECTION 📈
-------------------------------------
This strategy performs BEST with currency pairs (forex). The CCI indicator
works particularly well in the forex market due to the nature of currency
movements and the effectiveness of the CCI in identifying overbought and
oversold conditions in trending markets.
Why Currency Pairs? 🎯
- CCI is highly effective in identifying reversals in forex markets
- Currency pairs show clear overbought/oversold patterns
- EMA filter (50/200) aligns well with major forex trends
- High liquidity ensures reliable signal execution
Performance Highlights:
In specific currency pairs, when properly configured, this strategy can achieve:
- Profit Factor: Over 2.0
- Win Rate: Up to 70%
- Particularly effective pairs: USDCAD, EURUSD, GBPJPY
While the strategy can work with other instruments (stocks, indices, commodities),
currency pairs provide the most consistent and reliable results. For optimal
performance, focus on major forex pairs with good liquidity and clear trending
characteristics.
================================================================================
WHAT DOES THIS STRATEGY DO? 🎯
---------------------------
This strategy combines the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with Exponential
Moving Averages (EMA) to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
The strategy uses CCI crossovers with a smoothing moving average and filters
signals using EMA trend confirmation. The strategy automatically enters trades
when CCI crosses the smoothing MA in specific zones, indicating potential trend
reversals or continuations.
HOW IT WORKS? ⚙️
---------------
1. CCI CALCULATION 📈
The strategy calculates the Commodity Channel Index using:
- CCI = (Price - SMA(Price, length)) / (0.015 × Deviation(Price, length))
- Default length: 20 periods
- Source: HLC3 (typical price)
The CCI shows:
- Values above +100 = Overbought conditions
- Values below -100 = Oversold conditions
- Values around 0 = Neutral conditions
2. SMOOTHING MOVING AVERAGE 📊
A moving average is applied to the CCI to smooth out fluctuations:
- Types available: SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA
- Default: SMA with length 14
- Can be disabled (set to "None")
This smoothed line acts as a reference for crossover signals.
3. EMA TREND FILTER 🎯
Two EMAs are calculated on the CCI:
- EMA 50 (fast EMA)
- EMA 200 (slow EMA)
When the EMA filter is enabled:
- LONG signals only occur when EMA50 > EMA200 (uptrend confirmation)
- SHORT signals only occur when EMA50 < EMA200 (downtrend confirmation)
This filter can be enabled/disabled via the "Use EMA Filter" option.
4. ENTRY CONDITIONS 🎲
LONG ENTRY (Buy Signal):
- CCI crosses ABOVE the Smoothing MA (crossover)
- CCI is between Lower Level (-100) and Middle Level (0)
- EMA Filter: EMA50 > EMA200 (if filter enabled)
- No existing positions (or close opposite positions first)
SHORT ENTRY (Sell Signal):
- CCI crosses BELOW the Smoothing MA (crossunder)
- CCI is between Middle Level (0) and Upper Level (+100)
- EMA Filter: EMA50 < EMA200 (if filter enabled)
- No existing positions (or close opposite positions first)
5. POSITION MANAGEMENT 💰
The strategy uses a simple position management approach:
- Only ONE position at a time (no pyramiding)
- If a signal occurs in the opposite direction, closes existing position first
- Then opens new position in the new direction
- This prevents overexposure and simplifies risk management
6. TAKE PROFIT & STOP LOSS SETTINGS 🎯
The strategy uses percentage-based TP/SL:
- Take Profit: 1.0% (default, configurable)
- Stop Loss: 0.5% (default, configurable)
- Risk/Reward Ratio: 2:1 (TP is double the SL)
TP/SL are calculated once when the position opens and remain fixed.

Session Volume Analyzer [JOAT]
Session Volume Analyzer — Global Trading Session and Volume Intelligence System
This indicator addresses the analytical challenge of understanding market participation patterns across global trading sessions. It combines precise session detection with comprehensive volume analysis to provide insights into when and how different market participants are active. The tool recognizes that different trading sessions exhibit distinct characteristics in terms of participation, volatility, and volume patterns.
Why This Combination Provides Unique Analytical Value
Traditional session indicators typically only show time boundaries, while volume indicators show raw volume data without session context. This creates analytical gaps:
1. **Session Context Missing**: Volume spikes without session context provide incomplete information
2. **Participation Patterns Hidden**: Different sessions have different participant types (retail, institutional, algorithmic)
3. **Comparative Analysis Lacking**: No easy way to compare volume patterns across sessions
4. **Timing Intelligence Absent**: Understanding WHEN volume occurs is as important as HOW MUCH volume occurs
This indicator's originality lies in creating an integrated session-volume analysis system that:
**Provides Session-Aware Volume Analysis**: Volume data is contextualized within specific trading sessions
**Enables Cross-Session Comparison**: Compare volume patterns between Asian, London, and New York sessions
**Delivers Participation Intelligence**: Understand which sessions are showing above-normal participation
**Offers Real-Time Session Tracking**: Know exactly which session is active and how current volume compares
Technical Innovation and Originality
While session detection and volume analysis exist separately, the innovation lies in:
1. **Integrated Session-Volume Architecture**: Simultaneous tracking of session boundaries and volume statistics creates comprehensive market participation analysis
2. **Multi-Session Volume Comparison System**: Real-time calculation and comparison of volume statistics across different global sessions
3. **Adaptive Volume Threshold Detection**: Automatic identification of above-average volume periods within session context
4. **Comprehensive Visual Integration**: Session backgrounds, volume highlights, and statistical dashboards provide complete market participation picture
How Session Detection and Volume Analysis Work Together
The integration creates a sophisticated market participation analysis system:
**Session Detection Logic**: Uses Pine Script's time functions to identify active sessions
// Session detection based on exchange time
bool inAsian = not na(time(timeframe.period, asianSession))
bool inLondon = not na(time(timeframe.period, londonSession))
bool inNY = not na(time(timeframe.period, nySession))
// Session transition detection
bool asianStart = inAsian and not inAsian
bool londonStart = inLondon and not inLondon
bool nyStart = inNY and not inNY
**Volume Analysis Integration**: Volume statistics are calculated within session context
// Session-specific volume accumulation
if asianStart
asianVol := 0.0
asianBars := 0
if inAsian
asianVol += volume
asianBars += 1
// Real-time session volume analysis
float asianAvgVol = asianBars > 0 ? asianVol / asianBars : 0
**Relative Volume Assessment**: Current volume compared to session-specific averages
float volMA = ta.sma(volume, volLength)
float volRatio = volMA > 0 ? volume / volMA : 1
// Volume classification within session context
bool isHighVol = volRatio >= 1.5 and volRatio < 2.5
bool isVeryHighVol = volRatio >= 2.5
This creates a system where volume analysis is always contextualized within the appropriate trading session, providing more meaningful insights than raw volume data alone.
Comprehensive Session Analysis Framework
**Default Session Definitions** (customizable based on broker timezone):
- **Asian Session**: 1800-0300 (exchange time) - Represents Asian market participation including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore
- **London Session**: 0300-1200 (exchange time) - Represents European market participation
- **New York Session**: 0800-1700 (exchange time) - Represents North American market participation
**Session Overlap Analysis**: The system recognizes and highlights overlap periods:
- **London/New York Overlap**: 0800-1200 - Typically the highest volume period
- **Asian/London Overlap**: 0300-0300 (brief) - Transition period
- **New York/Asian Overlap**: 1700-1800 (brief) - End of NY, start of Asian
**Volume Intelligence Features**:
1. **Session-Specific Volume Accumulation**: Tracks total volume within each session
2. **Cross-Session Volume Comparison**: Compare current session volume to other sessions
3. **Relative Volume Detection**: Identify when current volume exceeds historical averages
4. **Participation Pattern Analysis**: Understand which sessions show consistent high/low participation
Advanced Volume Analysis Methods
**Relative Volume Calculation**:
float volMA = ta.sma(volume, volLength) // Volume moving average
float volRatio = volMA > 0 ? volume / volMA : 1 // Current vs average ratio
// Multi-tier volume classification
bool isNormalVol = volRatio < 1.5
bool isHighVol = volRatio >= 1.5 and volRatio < 2.5
bool isVeryHighVol = volRatio >= 2.5
bool isExtremeVol = volRatio >= 4.0
**Session Volume Tracking**:
// Cumulative session volume with bar counting
if londonStart
londonVol := 0.0
londonBars := 0
if inLondon
londonVol += volume
londonBars += 1
// Average volume per bar calculation
float londonAvgVol = londonBars > 0 ? londonVol / londonBars : 0
**Cross-Session Volume Comparison**:
The system maintains running totals for each session, enabling real-time comparison of participation levels across different global markets.

Important Limitations and Realistic Expectations
Session times are approximate and depend on your broker's server timezone—manual adjustment may be required for accuracy
Volume data quality varies significantly by broker, instrument, and market type
Cryptocurrency and some forex markets trade continuously, making traditional session boundaries less meaningful
High volume indicates participation level only—it does not predict price direction or market outcomes
Session participation patterns can change over time due to market structure evolution, holidays, and economic conditions
This tool displays historical and current market participation data—it cannot predict future volume or price movements
Volume spikes can occur for numerous reasons unrelated to directional price movement (news, algorithmic trading, etc.)
Different instruments exhibit different session sensitivity and volume patterns
Market holidays and special events can significantly alter normal session patterns
Appropriate Use Cases
This indicator is designed for:
- Market participation pattern analysis
- Session-based trading schedule planning
- Volume context and comparison across sessions
- Educational study of global market structure
- Supplementary analysis for session-based strategies
This indicator is NOT designed for:
- Standalone trading signal generation
- Volume-based price direction prediction
- Automated trading system triggers
- Guaranteed session pattern repetition
- Replacement of fundamental or sentiment analysis
Understanding Session Analysis Limitations
Session analysis provides valuable context but has inherent limitations:
- Session patterns can change due to economic conditions, holidays, and market structure evolution
- Volume patterns may not repeat consistently across different market conditions
- Global events can override normal session characteristics
- Different asset classes respond differently to session boundaries
- Technology and algorithmic trading continue to blur traditional session distinctions

Liquidity Maxing [JOAT]Liquidity Maxing - Institutional Liquidity Matrix
Introduction
Liquidity Maxing is an open-source strategy for TradingView built around institutional market structure concepts. It identifies structural shifts, evaluates trades through multi-factor confluence, and implements layered risk controls.
The strategy is designed for swing trading on 4-hour timeframes, focusing on how institutional order flow manifests in price action through structure breaks, inducements, and liquidity sweeps.
Core Functionality
Liquidity Maxing performs three primary functions:
Tracks market structure to identify when control shifts between buyers and sellers
Scores potential trades using an eight-factor confluence system
Manages position sizing and risk exposure dynamically based on volatility and user-defined limits
The goal is selective trading when multiple conditions align, rather than frequent entries.
Market Structure Engine
The structure engine tracks three key events:
Break of Structure (BOS): Price pushes beyond a prior pivot in the direction of trend
Change of Character (CHoCH): Control flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa
Inducement Sweeps (IDM): Market briefly runs stops against trend before moving in the real direction
The structure module continuously updates strong highs and lows, labeling structural shifts visually. IDM markers are optional and disabled by default to maintain chart clarity.
The trade engine requires valid structure alignment before considering entries. No structure, no trade.
Eight-Factor Confluence System
Instead of relying on a single indicator, Liquidity Maxing uses an eight-factor scoring system:
Structure alignment with current trend
RSI within healthy bands (different ranges for up and down trends)
MACD momentum agreement with direction
Volume above adaptive baseline
Price relative to main trend EMA
Session and weekend filter (configurable)
Volatility expansion/contraction via ATR shifts
Higher-timeframe EMA confirmation
Each factor contributes one point to the confluence score. The default minimum confluence threshold is 6 out of 8, but you can adjust this from 1-8 based on your preference for trade frequency versus selectivity.
Only when structure and confluence agree does the strategy proceed to risk evaluation.
Dynamic Risk Management
Risk controls are implemented in multiple layers:
ATR-based stops and targets with configurable risk-to-reward ratio (default 2:1)
Volatility-adjusted position sizing to maintain consistent risk per trade as ranges expand or compress
Daily and weekly risk budgets that halt new entries once thresholds are reached
Correlation cooldown to prevent clustered trades in the same direction
Global circuit breaker with maximum drawdown limit and emergency kill switch
If any guardrail is breached, the strategy will not open new positions. The dashboard clearly displays risk state for transparency.
Market Presets
The strategy includes configuration presets optimized for different market types:
Crypto (BTC/ETH): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.2, enhanced ATR scaling
Forex Majors: RSI bands 75/25, volume multiplier 1.5
Indices (SPY/QQQ): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.3
Custom: Default values for user customization
For crypto assets, the strategy automatically applies ATR volatility scaling to account for higher volatility characteristics.
Monitoring and Dashboards
The strategy includes optional monitoring layers:
Risk Operations Dashboard (top-right):
Trend state
Confluence score
ATR value
Current position size percentage
Global drawdown
Daily and weekly risk consumption
Correlation guard state
Alert mode status
Performance Console (top-left):
Net profit
Current equity
Win rate percentage
Average trade value
Sharpe-style ratio (rolling 50-bar window)
Profit factor
Open trade count
Optional risk tint on chart background provides visual indication of "safe to trade" versus "halted" state.
All visualization elements can be toggled on/off from the inputs for clean chart viewing or full telemetry during parameter tuning.
Alerts and Automation
The strategy supports alert integration with two formats:
Standard alerts: Human-readable messages for long, short, and risk-halt conditions
Webhook format: JSON-formatted payloads ready for external execution systems (optional)
Alert messages are predictable and unambiguous, suitable for manual review or automated forwarding to execution engines.
Built-in Validation Suite
The strategy includes an optional validation layer that can be enabled from inputs. It checks:
Internal consistency of structure and confluence metrics
Sanity and ordering of risk parameters
Position sizing compliance with user-defined floors and caps
This validation is optional and not required for trading, but provides transparency into system operation during development or troubleshooting.
Strategy Parameters
Market Presets:
Configuration Preset: Choose between Crypto (BTC/ETH), Forex Majors, Indices (SPY/QQQ), or Custom
Market Structure Architecture:
Pivot Length: Default 5 bars
Filter by Inducement (IDM): Default enabled
Visualize Structure: Default enabled
Structure Lookback: Default 50 bars
Risk & Capital Preservation:
Risk:Reward Ratio: Default 2.0
ATR Period: Default 14
ATR Multiplier (Stop): Default 2.0
Max Drawdown Circuit Breaker: Default 10%
Risk per Trade (% Equity): Default 1.5%
Daily Risk Limit: Default 6%
Weekly Risk Limit: Default 12%
Min Position Size (% Equity): Default 0.25%
Max Position Size (% Equity): Default 5%
Correlation Cooldown (bars): Default 3
Emergency Kill Switch: Default disabled
Signal Confluence:
RSI Length: Default 14
Trend EMA: Default 200
HTF Confirmation TF: Default Daily
Allow Weekend Trading: Default enabled
Minimum Confluence Score (0-8): Default 6
Backtesting Considerations
When backtesting this strategy, consider the following:
Commission: Default 0.05% (adjustable in strategy settings)
Initial Capital: Default $100,000 (adjustable)
Position Sizing: Uses percentage of equity (default 2% per trade)
Timeframe: Optimized for 4-hour charts, though can be tested on other timeframes
Results will vary significantly based on:
Market conditions and volatility regimes
Parameter settings, especially confluence threshold
Risk limit configuration
Symbol characteristics (crypto vs forex vs equities)
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Win rate, profit factor, and other metrics should be evaluated in context of drawdown periods, trade frequency, and market conditions.
How to Use This Strategy
This is a framework that requires understanding and parameter tuning, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Recommended workflow:
Start on 4-hour timeframe with default parameters and appropriate market preset
Run backtests and study performance console metrics: focus on drawdown behavior, win rate, profit factor, and trade frequency
Adjust confluence threshold to match your risk appetite—higher thresholds mean fewer but more selective trades
Set realistic daily and weekly risk budgets appropriate for your account size and risk tolerance
Consider ATR multiplier adjustments based on market volatility characteristics
Only connect alerts or automation after thorough testing and parameter validation
Treat this as a risk framework with an integrated entry engine, not merely an entry signal generator. The risk controls are as important as the trade signals.
Strategy Limitations
Designed for swing trading timeframes; may not perform optimally on very short timeframes
Requires sufficient market structure to identify pivots; may struggle in choppy or low-volatility environments
Crypto markets require different parameter tuning than traditional markets
Risk limits may prevent entries during favorable setups if daily/weekly budgets are exhausted
Correlation cooldown may delay entries that would otherwise be valid
Backtesting results depend on data quality and may not reflect live trading with slippage
Design Philosophy
Many indicators tell you when price crossed a moving average or RSI left oversold. This strategy addresses questions institutional traders ask:
Who is in control of the market right now?
Is this move structurally significant or just noise?
Do I want to add more risk given what I've already done today/week?
If I'm wrong, exactly how painful can this be?
The strategy provides disciplined, repeatable answers to these questions through systematic structure analysis, confluence filtering, and multi-layer risk management.
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with:
Custom types for structure, confluence, and risk state management
Functional programming approach for reusable calculations
State management through persistent variables
Optional visual elements that can be toggled independently
The code is open-source and can be modified to suit individual needs. All important logic is visible in the source code.
