### Multiple MAs Indicator
#### Overview
The **Multiple MAs** indicator is a versatile and straightforward tool designed to help traders visualize price trends using multiple Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) on a single chart. By plotting six SMAs with customizable lengths (MA5, MA10, MA20, MA50, MA100, and MA200), this indicator provides a clear view of short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends, making it ideal for trend-following strategies, crossover analysis, and identifying potential support/resistance levels.
#### Features
- **Customizable MA Lengths**: Adjust the periods of all six moving averages (MA5, MA10, MA20, MA50, MA100, MA200) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
- **Distinct Visuals**: Each MA is plotted with a unique color and line width for easy identification:
- MA5 (Dodger Blue, 1px)
- MA10 (Green, 1px)
- MA20 (Red, 2px)
- MA50 (Purple, 3px)
- MA100 (Gray, 3px)
- MA200 (White, 3px)
- **Overlay on Price Chart**: The indicator overlays directly on the price chart, allowing for seamless integration with other technical analysis tools.
- **High Precision**: Displays values with 8-decimal precision, ensuring accuracy for assets with small price movements (e.g., forex pairs or cryptocurrencies).
#### How to Use
1. **Trend Identification**: Use the longer MAs (e.g., MA100, MA200) to determine the overall trend direction. If the price is above these MAs, the trend is likely bullish; if below, it’s likely bearish.
2. **Crossover Signals**: Look for crossovers between shorter MAs (e.g., MA5 crossing MA20) for potential entry or exit signals. For example:
- A bullish signal occurs when a shorter MA crosses above a longer MA.
- A bearish signal occurs when a shorter MA crosses below a longer MA.
3. **Support and Resistance**: MAs often act as dynamic support or resistance levels. Watch for price reactions around these lines, especially the MA50, MA100, and MA200.
4. **Divergence Analysis**: Compare the slope of different MAs to identify potential trend reversals or weakening momentum.
#### Settings
- **MA5 Length**: Default is 5 bars.
- **MA10 Length**: Default is 10 bars.
- **MA20 Length**: Default is 20 bars.
- **MA50 Length**: Default is 50 bars.
- **MA100 Length**: Default is 100 bars.
- **MA200 Length**: Default is 200 bars.
#### Best Practices
- **Timeframe**: This indicator works on any timeframe but is particularly effective on daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour charts for swing trading or trend-following strategies.
- **Combine with Other Tools**: Pair the Multiple MAs with other indicators like RSI, MACD, or volume analysis to confirm signals and avoid false breakouts.
- **Adjust for Volatility**: For highly volatile assets, consider increasing the MA lengths to reduce noise and focus on broader trends.
#### Notes
- The indicator is lightweight and optimized for performance, ensuring it runs smoothly even on lower timeframes.
- Colors and line widths are pre-set for clarity but can be customized in the indicator settings if needed.

Math by Thomas FVG📌 Math by Thomas FVG – Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview:
The Math by Thomas FVG indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using a three-candle logic. FVGs represent price inefficiencies where the first candle’s high/low does not overlap with the third candle’s low/high, creating a gap. This tool helps traders identify potential reversal or continuation zones, providing valuable insights into market structure and price action.
🔹 How It Works:
Bullish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s low is above the high of the candle two bars ago.
A green-shaded box marks the bullish FVG, highlighting a potential support zone.
Bearish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s high is below the low of the candle two bars ago.
A red-shaded box marks the bearish FVG, indicating a potential resistance zone.
Gap Filling Logic:
The indicator automatically removes FVGs once they are filled by price action, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Bullish FVGs are removed when close ≤ the box's top.
Bearish FVGs are removed when close ≥ the box's bottom.
⚙️ Customization Options:
Bullish FVG Color: Choose the color for bullish FVGs.
Bearish FVG Color: Choose the color for bearish FVGs.
Max Box Count: The indicator dynamically manages up to 50 FVG boxes, ensuring optimal chart performance.
✅ Use Cases:
Identify price inefficiencies for potential entries and exits.
Combine with Order Blocks, support/resistance, or volume analysis for confirmation.
Useful for Smart Money Concept (SMC) and price action traders.
🔥 Enhance your trading accuracy with the Math by Thomas FVG indicator and gain insights into price inefficiencies! 🚀

Understanding Market Dynamics Through Market Push Meter
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize market pressure through volume analysis:
1. Volume Imbalance: By separating and comparing buying volume (up candles) from selling volume (down candles), the indicator provides insights into which side is exerting more pressure in the market.
2. Normalized Pressure: The indicator normalizes volume pressure as a percentage of total volume, making it more comparable across different market conditions and instruments.
3. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of pressure in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new pressure extremes.
4. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where pressure has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
Remember:
- Combine signals from volume pressure, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences and market
- Consider overall market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system
- Combined with proper risk management
- Applied with an understanding of current market conditions
- Signals are confirmed by price action and other indicators

Pivot S/R with Volatility Filter## *📌 Indicator Purpose*
This indicator identifies *key support/resistance levels* using pivot points while also:
✅ Detecting *high-volume liquidity traps* (stop hunts)
✅ Filtering insignificant pivots via *ATR (Average True Range) volatility*
✅ Tracking *test counts and breakouts* to measure level strength
---
## *⚙ SETTINGS – Detailed Breakdown*
### *1️⃣ ◆ General Settings*
#### *🔹 Pivot Length*
- *Purpose:* Determines how many bars to analyze when identifying pivots.
- *Usage:*
- *Low values (5-20):* More pivots, better for scalping.
- *High values (50-200):* Fewer but stronger levels for swing trading.
- *Example:*
- Pivot Length = 50 → Only the most significant highs/lows over 50 bars are marked.
#### *🔹 Test Threshold (Max Test Count)*
- *Purpose:* Sets how many times a level can be tested before being invalidated.
- *Example:*
- Test Threshold = 3 → After 3 tests, the level is ignored (likely to break).
#### *🔹 Zone Range*
- *Purpose:* Creates a price buffer around pivots (±0.001 by default).
- *Why?* Markets often respect "zones" rather than exact prices.
---
### *2️⃣ ◆ Volatility Filter (ATR)*
#### *🔹 ATR Period*
- *Purpose:* Smoothing period for Average True Range calculation.
- *Default:* 14 (standard for volatility measurement).
#### *🔹 ATR Multiplier (Min Move)*
- *Purpose:* Requires pivots to show *meaningful price movement*.
- *Formula:* Min Move = ATR × Multiplier
- *Example:*
- ATR = 10 pips, Multiplier = 1.5 → Only pivots with *15+ pip swings* are valid.
#### *🔹 Show ATR Filter Info*
- Displays current ATR and minimum move requirements on the chart.
---
### *3️⃣ ◆ Volume Analysis*
#### *🔹 Volume Change Threshold (%)*
- *Purpose:* Filters for *unusual volume spikes* (institutional activity).
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 1.2 → Requires *120% of average volume* to confirm signals.
#### *🔹 Volume MA Period*
- *Purpose:* Lookback period for "normal" volume calculation.
---
### *4️⃣ ◆ Wick Analysis*
#### *🔹 Wick Length Threshold (Ratio)*
- *Purpose:* Ensures rejection candles have *long wicks* (strong reversals).
- *Formula:* Wick Ratio = (Upper Wick + Lower Wick) / Candle Range
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 0.6 → 60% of the candle must be wicks.
#### *🔹 Min Wick Size (ATR %)*
- *Purpose:* Filters out small wicks in volatile markets.
- *Example:*
- ATR = 20 pips, MinWickSize = 1% → Wicks under *0.2 pips* are ignored.
---
### *5️⃣ ◆ Display Settings*
- *Show Zones:* Toggles support/resistance shaded areas.
- *Show Traps:* Highlights liquidity traps (▲/▼ symbols).
- *Show Tests:* Displays how many times levels were tested.
- *Zone Transparency:* Adjusts opacity of zones.
---
## *🎯 Practical Use Cases*
### *1️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
- *Scenario:* Price spikes *above resistance* then reverses sharply.
- *Requirements:*
- Long wick (Wick Ratio > 0.6)
- High volume (Volume > Threshold)
- *Outcome:* *Short Trap* signal (▼) appears.
### *2️⃣ Strong Support Level*
- *Scenario:* Price bounces *3 times* from the same level.
- *Indicator Action:*
- Labels the level with test count (3/5 = 3 tests out of max 5).
- Turns *red* if broken (Break Count > 0).
Deep Dive: How This Indicator Works*
This indicator combines *four professional trading concepts* into one powerful tool:
1. *Classic Pivot Point Theory*
- Identifies swing highs/lows where price previously reversed
- Unlike basic pivot indicators, ours uses *confirmed pivots only* (filtered by ATR)
2. *Volume-Weighted Validation*
- Requires unusual trading volume to confirm levels
- Filters out "phantom" levels with low participation
3. *ATR Volatility Filtering*
- Eliminates insignificant price swings in choppy markets
- Ensures only meaningful levels are plotted
4. *Liquidity Trap Detection*
- Spots institutional stop hunts where markets fake out traders
- Uses wick analysis + volume spikes for high-probability signals

## *📊 Parameter Encyclopedia (Expanded)*
### *1️⃣ Pivot Engine Settings*
#### *Pivot Length (50)*
- *What It Does:*
Determines how many bars to analyze when searching for swing highs/lows.
- *Professional Adjustment Guide:*
| Trading Style | Recommended Value | Why? |
|--------------|------------------|------|
| Scalping | 10-20 | Captures short-term levels |
| Day Trading | 30-50 | Balanced approach |
| Swing Trading| 50-200 | Focuses on major levels |
- *Real Market Example:*
On NASDAQ 5-minute chart:
- Length=20: Identifies levels holding for ~2 hours
- Length=50: Finds levels respected for entire trading day
#### *Test Threshold (5)*
- *Advanced Insight:*
Institutions often test levels 3-5 times before breaking them. This setting mimics the "probe and push" strategy used by smart money.
- *Psychology Behind It:*
Retail traders typically give up after 2-3 tests, while institutions keep testing until stops are run.
---
### *2️⃣ Volatility Filter System*
#### *ATR Multiplier (1.0)*
- *Professional Formula:*
Minimum Valid Swing = ATR(14) × Multiplier
- *Market-Specific Recommendations:*
| Market Type | Optimal Multiplier |
|------------------|--------------------|
| Forex Majors | 0.8-1.2 |
| Crypto (BTC/ETH) | 1.5-2.5 |
| SP500 Stocks | 1.0-1.5 |
- *Why It Matters:*
In EUR/USD (ATR=10 pips):
- Multiplier=1.0 → Requires 10 pip swings
- Multiplier=1.5 → Requires 15 pip swings (fewer but higher quality levels)
---
### *3️⃣ Volume Confirmation System*
#### *Volume Threshold (1.2)*
- *Institutional Benchmark:*
- 1.2x = Moderate institutional interest
- 1.5x+ = Strong smart money activity
- *Volume Spike Case Study:*
*Before Apple Earnings:*
- Normal volume: 2M shares
- Spike threshold (1.2): 2.4M shares
- Actual volume: 3.1M shares → STRONG confirmation
---
### *4️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
#### *Wick Analysis System*
- *Two-Filter Verification:*
1. *Wick Ratio (0.6):*
- Ensures majority of candle shows rejection
- Formula: (UpperWick + LowerWick) / Total Range > 0.6
2. *Min Wick Size (1% ATR):*
- Prevents false signals in flat markets
- Example: ATR=20 pips → Min wick=0.2 pips
- *Trap Identification Flowchart:*
Price Enters Zone →
Spikes Beyond Level →
Shows Long Wick →
Volume > Threshold →
TRAP CONFIRMED
---
## *💡 Master-Level Usage Techniques*
### *Institutional Order Flow Analysis*
1. *Step 1:* Identify pivot levels with ≥3 tests
2. *Step 2:* Watch for volume contraction near levels
3. *Step 3:* Enter when trap signal appears with:
- Wick > 2×ATR
- Volume > 1.5× average
### *Multi-Timeframe Confirmation*
1. *Higher TF:* Find weekly/monthly pivots
2. *Lower TF:* Use this indicator for precise entries
3. *Example:*
- Weekly pivot at $180
- 4H shows liquidity trap → High-probability reversal
---
## *⚠ Critical Mistakes to Avoid*
1. *Using Default Settings Everywhere*
- Crude oil needs higher ATR multiplier than bonds
2. *Ignoring Trap Context*
- Traps work best at:
- All-time highs/lows
- Major psychological numbers (00/50 levels)
3. *Overlooking Cumulative Volume*
- Check if volume is building over multiple tests

Dynamic Trend Indicator (DTI) - VWAP FilterThe Dynamic Trend Indicator (DTI) with VWAP Filter is a trend-following indicator.
It aims to identify and follow market trends while minimizing false signals in choppy or ranging markets.
The DTI combines a dynamically adjusted Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a daily Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) confirmation filter and a cooldown mechanism to enhance signal reliability. This indicator is particularly useful for traders on intraday timeframes (e.g., 4-hour charts) who want to align their trades with the broader daily trend while avoiding whipsaws.
Key Features:
Dynamic Trend Line:
The core of the DTI is a trend line calculated using a custom EMA that adjusts its period dynamically based on market conditions.
The period of the EMA is determined by a combination of volatility (measured via ATR) and trend strength (measured via price momentum). In strong trends, the period shortens for faster responsiveness; in weak or ranging markets, it lengthens to reduce noise.
An optional smoothing EMA can be applied to the dynamic trend line to further reduce noise, with a user-defined smoothing length.
Daily VWAP Confirmation Filter:
A daily VWAP is calculated to provide a higher-timeframe trend bias. VWAP represents the average price paid for an asset during the day, weighted by volume, and is often used as a benchmark by institutional traders.
Buy signals are only generated when the price is above the daily VWAP (indicating a bullish daily bias), and sell signals are only generated when the price is below the VWAP (indicating a bearish daily bias).
The VWAP resets at the start of each day, ensuring it reflects the current day’s trading activity.
Cooldown Mechanism:
To prevent rapid signal reversals (whipsaws), the indicator includes a cooldown period between signals. After a buy or sell signal is generated, no new signals can be generated for a user-defined number of bars (default: 5 bars).
This helps filter out noise in choppy markets, ensuring signals are spaced out and more likely to align with significant trend changes.
Visual Elements:
Trend Line: Plotted on the chart, colored green when the price is above (uptrend) and red when below (downtrend). A gray color indicates a neutral trend.
Buy/Sell Signals: Displayed as green triangles below the bar for buy signals and red triangles above the bar for sell signals.
Background Coloring: The chart background is shaded green during uptrends and red during downtrends, providing a quick visual cue of the trend direction.
Daily VWAP Line: Optionally plotted as a purple step line, allowing traders to see the VWAP level and its relationship to the price.
Alerts:
The indicator includes built-in alerts for buy and sell signals, triggered when the price crosses the trend line and satisfies the VWAP filter and cooldown conditions.
Alert messages specify whether the signal is a buy or sell and confirm that the VWAP condition was met (e.g., "DTI Buy Signal: Price crossed above trend line and VWAP").
Input Parameters
Base Length (default: 14): The base period for calculating volatility and trend strength, used to adjust the dynamic EMA period.
Volatility Multiplier (default: 1.5): Adjusts the sensitivity of the dynamic period to market volatility (via ATR).
Trend Threshold (default: 0.5): Controls the sensitivity of the dynamic period to trend strength (via price momentum).
Use Smoothing (default: true): Enables/disables smoothing of the trend line with an additional EMA.
Smoothing Length (default: 3): The period for the smoothing EMA, if enabled.
Cooldown Bars (default: 5): The minimum number of bars between consecutive signals, reducing signal frequency in choppy markets.
Show Daily VWAP (default: true): Toggles the display of the daily VWAP line on the chart.
How It Works
Dynamic Trend Line Calculation:
Volatility is measured using the Average True Range (ATR) over the base length, scaled by the volatility multiplier.
Trend strength is calculated as the absolute price momentum (change in price over the base length) divided by the volatility factor.
The dynamic EMA period is adjusted based on the trend strength: stronger trends result in a shorter period (faster response), while weaker trends result in a longer period (more stability). The period is constrained between 5 and 50 to avoid extreme values.
A custom EMA function is used to handle the dynamic period, as Pine Script’s built-in ta.ema() requires a fixed length. The trend line is optionally smoothed with a secondary EMA.
Signal Generation:
A buy signal is generated when the price crosses above the trend line, the price is above the daily VWAP, and the cooldown period has elapsed.
A sell signal is generated when the price crosses below the trend line, the price is below the daily VWAP, and the cooldown period has elapsed.
The cooldown mechanism ensures that signals are not generated too frequently, reducing false signals in ranging markets.
Daily VWAP Calculation:
The VWAP is calculated by accumulating the price-volume product (close * volume) and total volume for the day, resetting at the start of each new day.
The VWAP is then computed as the cumulative price-volume divided by the cumulative volume, providing a volume-weighted average price for the day.
Usage
Timeframe: Best suited for intraday timeframes (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour) where the daily VWAP provides a higher-timeframe trend bias. It can also be used on daily charts with adjustments to the cooldown period.
Markets: Works well in trending markets (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks) where the dynamic trend line can capture sustained price movements. The VWAP filter helps align signals with the daily trend, making it effective for assets with clear daily biases.
Trading Strategy:
Buy: Enter a long position when a green triangle (buy signal) appears, indicating the price has crossed above the trend line and is above the daily VWAP.
Sell: Enter a short position (or exit a long) when a red triangle (sell signal) appears, indicating the price has crossed below the trend line and is below the daily VWAP.
Use the trend line and VWAP as dynamic support/resistance levels to set stop-losses or take-profit targets.
Backtesting: Use TradingView’s strategy tester to evaluate the indicator’s performance on your chosen market and timeframe, adjusting parameters like cooldown_bars and volatility_mult to optimize for profitability.
Example
On a 4-hour SOLUSDT chart, the DTI with VWAP Filter might show:
An uptrend with the price above the green trend line and above the daily VWAP, generating buy signals as the price continues to rise.
A downtrend where the price falls below the red trend line and the daily VWAP, generating sell signals that align with the bearish daily bias.
During choppy periods, the cooldown mechanism and VWAP filter reduce false signals, ensuring trades are taken only when the price aligns with the daily trend.
Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following indicators, the DTI may lag during sharp price reversals, as the dynamic EMA needs time to adjust.
Ranging Markets: While the VWAP filter and cooldown mechanism reduce whipsaws, the indicator may still generate some false signals in strongly ranging markets. Combining it with a trend strength filter (e.g., ADX) can help.
VWAP Dependency: The effectiveness of the VWAP filter depends on the market’s respect for the daily VWAP as a support/resistance level. In markets with low volume or erratic price action, the VWAP may be less reliable.
Potential Improvements
VWAP Buffer: Add a percentage buffer around the VWAP (e.g., require the price to be 1% above/below) to further reduce noise.
Multi-Timeframe VWAP: Incorporate a weekly VWAP for additional trend confirmation on longer timeframes.
Trend Strength Filter: Add an ADX filter to ensure signals are generated only during strong trends (e.g., ADX > 25).
TimeMapTimeMap is a visual price-reference indicator designed to help traders rapidly visualize how current price levels relate to significant historical closing prices. It overlays your chart with reference lines representing past weekly, monthly, quarterly (3-month), semi-annual (6-month), and annual closing prices. By clearly plotting these historical price references, TimeMap helps traders quickly gauge price position relative to historical market structure, aiding in the identification of trends, support/resistance levels, and potential reversals.
How it Works:
The indicator calculates the precise number of historical bars corresponding to weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual intervals, dynamically adjusting according to your chart’s timeframe (intraday, daily, weekly, monthly) and chosen market type (Stocks US, Crypto, Forex, or Futures). Historical closing prices from these periods are plotted directly on your chart as horizontal reference lines.
For intraday traders, the script accurately calculates historical offsets considering regular and extended trading sessions (e.g., pre-market and after-hours sessions for US stocks), ensuring correct positioning of historical lines.
User-Configurable Inputs Explained in Detail:
Market Type:
Allows you to specify your trading instrument type, automatically adjusting calculations for:
- Stocks US (default): 390 minutes per regular session (780 minutes if extended hours enabled), 5 trading days/week.
- Crypto: 1440 minutes/day, 7 trading days/week.
- Forex: 1440 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
- Futures: 1320 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
Show Weekly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one week ago. Provides short-term context and helps identify recent price momentum.
Show Monthly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one month ago. Helpful for evaluating medium-term price positioning and monthly trend strength.
Show 3-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from three months ago. Useful for assessing quarterly market shifts, intermediate trend changes, and broader market sentiment.
Show 6-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from six months ago. Useful for identifying semi-annual trends, significant price pivots, and longer-term support/resistance levels.
Show 1-Year Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one year ago. Excellent for assessing long-term market direction and key annual price levels.
Enable Smoothing:
Activates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing of historical reference lines, reducing volatility and providing clearer visual references. Recommended for traders preferring less volatile reference levels.
Smoothing Length:
Determines the number of bars used in calculating the SMA smoothing of historical lines. Higher values result in smoother but slightly delayed reference lines; lower values offer more immediate yet more volatile levels.
Use Extended Hours (Intraday Only):
When enabled (only applicable for Stocks US), it accounts for pre-market and after-hours trading sessions, providing accurate intraday historical line calculations based on extended sessions (typically 780 minutes/day total).
Important Notes and Compliance:
- This indicator does not provide trading signals, recommendations, or predictions. It serves purely as a visual analytical tool to supplement traders’ existing methods.
- Historical lines plotted are strictly based on past available price data; the indicator never accesses future data or data outside the scope of Pine Script’s standard capabilities.
- The script incorporates built-in logic to avoid runtime errors if insufficient historical data exists for a selected timeframe, ensuring robustness even with limited historical bars.
- TimeMap is original work developed exclusively by Julien Eche (@Julien_Eche). It does not reuse or replicate third-party or existing open-source scripts.
Recommended Best Practices:
- Use TimeMap as a complementary analytical reference, not as a standalone strategy or trade decision-making tool.
- Adapt displayed historical periods and smoothing settings based on your trading style and market approach.
- Default plot colors are optimized for readability on dark-background charts; adjust as necessary according to your preference and chart color scheme.

PriorHourRangeLevels_v0.1PriorHourRangeLevels_v0.1
Created by dc_77 | © 2025 | Mozilla Public License 2.0
Overview
"PriorHourRangeLevels_v0.1" is a versatile Pine Script™ indicator designed to help traders visualize and analyze price levels based on the prior hour’s range. It overlays key levels—High, Low, 75%, 50% (EQ), and 25%—from the previous hour onto the current price chart, alongside the current hour’s opening price. With customizable display options and time zone support, it’s ideal for intraday traders looking to identify support, resistance, and breakout zones.
How It Works
Hourly Reset: The indicator detects the start of each hour based on your chosen time zone (e.g., "America/New_York" by default).
Prior Hour Range: It calculates the High and Low of the previous hour, then derives three additional levels:
75%: 75% of the range above the Low.
EQ (50%): The midpoint of the range.
25%: 25% of the range above the Low.
Current Hour Open: Displays the opening price of the current hour.
Projection: Lines extend forward (default: 24 bars) to project these levels into the future, aiding in real-time analysis.
Alerts: Triggers alerts when the price crosses any of the prior hour’s levels (High, 75%, EQ, 25%, Low).
Key Features
Time Zone Flexibility: Choose from options like UTC, New York, Tokyo, or London to align with your trading session.
Visual Customization:
Toggle visibility for each level (High, Low, 75%, EQ, 25%, Open, and Anchor).
Adjust line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), colors, and widths.
Show or hide labels with adjustable sizes (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).
Anchor Line: A vertical line marks the start of the prior hour, with optional labeling.
Alert Conditions: Set up notifications for price crossings to catch key moments without watching the chart.
Usage Tips
Use the High and Low as potential breakout levels, while 75%, EQ, and 25% act as intermediate support/resistance zones.
Trend Confirmation: Watch how price interacts with the EQ (50%) level to gauge momentum.
Session Planning: Adjust the time zone to match your market (e.g., "Europe/London" for FTSE trading).
Projection Offset: Extend or shorten the lines (via "Projection Offset") based on your chart timeframe.
Inputs
Time Zone: Select your preferred market time zone.
Anchor Settings: Show/hide the prior hour start line, style, color, width, and label.
Level Settings: Customize visibility, style, color, width, and labels for Open, High, 75%, EQ, 25%, and Low.
Display: Set projection length and label size.
Nef33 Forex & Crypto Trading Signals PRO
1. Understanding the Indicator's Context
The indicator generates signals based on confluence (trend, volume, key zones, etc.), but it does not include predefined SL or TP levels. To establish them, we must:
Use dynamic or static support/resistance levels already present in the script.
Incorporate volatility (such as ATR) to adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Define a risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
2. Options for Determining SL and TP
Below, I provide several ideas based on the tools available in the script:
Stop Loss (SL)
The SL should protect you from adverse movements. You can base it on:
ATR (Volatility): Use the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) multiplied by a factor (e.g., 1.5 or 2) to set a dynamic SL.
Buy: SL = Entry Price - (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Sell: SL = Entry Price + (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Key Zones: Place the SL below a support (for buys) or above a resistance (for sells), using Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, or Liquidity Zones.
Buy: SL below the nearest ob_lows or fvg_lows.
Sell: SL above the nearest ob_highs or fvg_highs.
VWAP: Use the daily VWAP (vwap_day) as a critical level.
Buy: SL below vwap_day.
Sell: SL above vwap_day.
Take Profit (TP)
The TP should maximize profits. You can base it on:
Risk/Reward Ratio: Multiply the SL distance by a factor (e.g., 2 or 3).
Buy: TP = Entry Price + (SL Distance * 2).
Sell: TP = Entry Price - (SL Distance * 2).
Key Zones: Target the next resistance (for buys) or support (for sells).
Buy: TP at the next ob_highs, fvg_highs, or liq_zone_high.
Sell: TP at the next ob_lows, fvg_lows, or liq_zone_low.
Ichimoku: Use the cloud levels (Senkou Span A/B) as targets.
Buy: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is higher).
Sell: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is lower).
3. Practical Implementation
Since the script does not automatically draw SL/TP, you can:
Calculate them manually: Observe the chart and use the levels mentioned.
Modify the code: Add SL/TP as labels (label.new) at the moment of the signal.
Here’s an example of how to modify the code to display SL and TP based on ATR with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio:
Modified Code (Signals Section)
Find the lines where the signals (trade_buy and trade_sell) are generated and add the following:
pinescript
// Calculate SL and TP based on ATR
atr_sl_mult = 1.5 // Multiplier for SL
atr_tp_mult = 3.0 // Multiplier for TP (1:2 ratio)
sl_distance = atr_smooth * atr_sl_mult
tp_distance = atr_smooth * atr_tp_mult
if trade_buy
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price - sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price + tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, low, "Buy: " + str.tostring(math.round(bull_conditions, 1)), color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
if trade_sell
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price + sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price - tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, high, "Sell: " + str.tostring(math.round(bear_conditions, 1)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
Code Explanation
SL: Calculated by subtracting/adding sl_distance to the entry price (close) depending on whether it’s a buy or sell.
TP: Calculated with a double distance (tp_distance) for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Visualization: Labels are added to the chart to display SL (red) and TP (blue).
4. Practical Strategy Without Modifying the Code
If you don’t want to modify the script, follow these steps manually:
Entry: Take the trade_buy or trade_sell signal.
SL: Check the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) on the chart or calculate a fixed level (e.g., 1.5 times the ATR). Also, review nearby key zones (OB, FVG, VWAP).
TP: Define a target based on the next key zone or multiply the SL distance by 2 or 3.
Example:
Buy at 100, ATR = 2.
SL = 100 - (2 * 1.5) = 97.
TP = 100 + (2 * 3) = 106.
5. Recommendations
Test in Demo: Apply this logic in a demo account to adjust the multipliers (atr_sl_mult, atr_tp_mult) based on the market (forex or crypto).
Combine with Zones: If the ATR-based SL is too wide, use the nearest OB or FVG as a reference.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Adjust the TP based on your tolerance (1:1, 1:2, 1:3)
HILo Ema Squeeze BandsThis indicator combines uses ema to identify price squeeze before a big move.
The ema gets initialised at new high low. It used 3 ema's lengths. For result use x, 2x ,4x ie 50, 100, 200 or 100,200,400 and so on . On more volatile asset use a higher settings like 100,200,400. The inner band is divided into 4 zones, which can give support resistance. As you use it you will become aware of subtle information that it can give at times. Like you may be able to find steps at which prices move, when the market is trending
Just like in Bollinger bands, in a trending market the price stays within sd=1 and sd=2 so does in the inner band the price will remain in band1 and band2. But Bollinger band cannot print steps this indicator shows steps
BCVC - Volume & Big Candle ColorThe BCVC (Volume & Big Candle Color) indicator helps traders identify significant price movements accompanied by unusual volume activity. By dynamically coloring bars based on volume spikes and candle size, it highlights potential momentum shifts, breakouts, or reversals. This tool is ideal for traders who want to:
Spot institutional buying/selling activity.
Confirm trend strength using volume and price volatility.
Filter noise by focusing on high-impact bars.
Key Features
Volume Spike Detection:
Compares current volume to a moving average (EMA) of volume.
Highlights bars where volume exceeds the average by a user-defined multiplier.
Big Candle Detection:
Identifies bars with a range (high-low) larger than the historical average range (EMA of candle ranges).
Thresholds for "big candles" are customizable.
Color-Coded Logic:
White Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bullish (close > open).
Orange Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bearish (close < open).
Blue Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bullish.
Maroon Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bearish.
Input Parameters
Volume Settings:
Volume Period: EMA length for average volume calculation (default: 20).
Volume Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for volume spikes (e.g., 1.25 = 25% above average).
Candle Size Settings:
Lookback Period: EMA length for average candle range (default: 7).
Big Candle Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for large candles (e.g., 1.3 = 30% above average range).
How It Works
Volume Analysis:
The indicator calculates an EMA of volume over the specified period.
If the current bar’s volume exceeds Average Volume × Volume Multiplier, it’s flagged as a high-volume bar.
Candle Range Analysis:
The average candle range (high-low) is calculated using an EMA over the lookback period.
A "big candle" is identified when the current bar’s range exceeds Average Range × Big Candle Multiplier.
Combined Signals:
High-volume bars are colored based on whether they are bullish/bearish and whether their range exceeds the big-candle threshold.
Example: A white bar (high volume + big candle + bullish) suggests strong buying pressure with institutional participation.
Usage Scenarios
Breakout Confirmation: A white/orange bar at a support/resistance level may validate a breakout.
Reversal Signals: A maroon/orange bar after a long trend could indicate exhaustion and potential reversal.
Trend Strength: Clusters of blue/white bars during uptrends (or maroon/orange in downtrends) confirm momentum.
Benefits
Visual Clarity: Instantly spot high-impact bars without manually scanning volume or candle size.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust multipliers to filter noise (e.g., increase for fewer signals).
Universal Application: Works on all timeframes and instruments (stocks, forex, crypto).
Notes
Best Paired With: Trendlines, support/resistance levels, or momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI).
Avoid False Signals: Use higher multipliers (e.g., 1.5) on lower timeframes to reduce noise.

Tesla's 3-6-9 Principle Integration: The system incorporates Nikola Tesla's mathematical principle through a cubic Mandelbrot equation (Z_{n+1} = Z_n^3 + C where Z_0 = 0), creating a unique approach to pattern recognition that aligns with natural market rhythms.
Historical Pattern Matching: When a current price pattern exhibits strong similarity to historical formations, the indicator generates predictive targets with confidence ratings. Each prediction undergoes rigorous validation against multiple parameters including trend alignment, volatility context, and mathematical coherence.
Visual Intelligence System
The indicator's visual presentation enhances trading decision-making through:
Confidence-Based Visualization: Predictions display with intuitive star ratings, percentage confidence scores, and contextual information including price movement magnitude and estimated time to target.
Adaptive Color Harmonization: The color system intelligently adjusts to provide optimal visibility while maintaining a professional appearance suitable for any chart setup.
Trend Alignment Indicators: Each prediction includes references to the broader trend context, helping traders avoid counter-trend trades unless the reversal signal carries exceptional strength.
Strategic Applications
This indicator excels in multiple trading scenarios:
Intraday Trading: Identify high-probability reversal zones with precise timing
Swing Trading: Anticipate significant market turns at key structural levels
Position Trading: Recognize major cycle shifts for strategic entry and exit
The automatic 1-year and 3-year Fibonacci pivots provide institutional-grade reference points that typically define major market movements. These longer timeframes reveal critical zones that might be invisible on shorter-term analysis, giving you a significant edge in understanding where price is likely to encounter substantial buying or selling pressure.
This innovative approach to market analysis combines classical Fibonacci mathematics with cutting-edge fractal theory to create a comprehensive market structure visualization system that illuminates both present support/resistance levels and future price targets with exceptional clarity.

Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy [LuxAlgo X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Rally Base Drop (RBD) SND Pivots indicator developed by LuxAlgo. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to LuxAlgo.
The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy is a non-repainting supply and demand trading system that detects pivot points based on Rally, Base, and Drop (RBD) candles. This strategy automatically identifies key market structure levels, allowing traders to:
Identify pivot-based supply and demand (SND) zones.
Use fixed criteria for trend continuation or reversals.
Filter out market noise by requiring structured price formations.
Enter trades based on breakouts of key SND pivot levels.
How the Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy Works
1. Pivot Point Detection Using RBD Candles
The strategy follows a rigid market structure methodology, where pivots are detected only when:
A Rally (R) consists of multiple consecutive bullish candles.
A Drop (D) consists of multiple consecutive bearish candles.
A Base (B) is identified as a transition between Rallies and Drops, acting as a pivot point.
The pivot level is confirmed when the formation is complete.
Unlike traditional fractal-based pivots, RBD Pivots enforce stricter structural rules, ensuring that each pivot:
Has a well-defined bullish or bearish price movement.
Reduces false signals caused by single-bar fluctuations.
Provides clear supply and demand levels based on structured price movements.
These pivot levels are drawn on the chart using color-coded boxes:
Green zones represent bullish pivot levels (Rally Base formations).
Red zones represent bearish pivot levels (Drop Base formations).
Once a pivot is confirmed, the high or low of the base candle is used as the reference level for future trades.
2. Trade Entry Conditions
The strategy allows traders to select from three trading modes:
Long Only – Only takes long trades when bullish pivot breakouts occur.
Short Only – Only takes short trades when bearish pivot breakouts occur.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions based on pivot breakouts.
Trade entry signals are triggered when price breaks through a confirmed pivot level:
Long Entry:
A bullish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks above the bullish pivot level.
The strategy enters a long position.
Short Entry:
A bearish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks below the bearish pivot level.
The strategy enters a short position.
The strategy includes an optional mode to reverse long and short conditions, allowing traders to experiment with contrarian entries.
3. Exit Conditions Using ATR-Based Risk Management
This strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels:
Stop-Loss (SL): Placed 1 ATR below entry for long trades and 1 ATR above entry for short trades.
Take-Profit (TP): Set using a Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) multiplier (default = 6x ATR).
When a trade is opened:
The entry price is recorded.
ATR is calculated at the time of entry to determine stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Trades exit automatically when either SL or TP is reached.
If reverse conditions mode is enabled, stop-loss and take-profit placements are flipped.
Visualization & Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels
1. Pivot Boxes for Market Structure
Each pivot is marked with a colored box:
Green boxes indicate bullish demand zones.
Red boxes indicate bearish supply zones.
These boxes remain on the chart to act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify key price reaction zones.
2. Horizontal Entry, Stop-Loss, and Take-Profit Lines
When a trade is active, the strategy plots:
White line → Entry price.
Red line → Stop-loss level.
Green line → Take-profit level.
Labels display the exact entry, SL, and TP values, updating dynamically as price moves.
Customization Options
This strategy offers multiple adjustable settings to optimize performance for different market conditions:
Trade Mode Selection → Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Pivot Length → Defines the number of required Rally & Drop candles for a pivot.
ATR Exit Multiplier → Adjusts stop-loss distance based on ATR.
Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) → Modifies take-profit level relative to risk.
Historical Lookback → Limits how far back pivot zones are displayed.
Color Settings → Customize pivot box colors for bullish and bearish setups.
Considerations & Limitations
Pivot Breakouts Do Not Guarantee Reversals. Some pivot breaks may lead to continuation moves instead of trend reversals.
Not Optimized for Low Volatility Conditions. This strategy works best in trending markets with strong momentum.
ATR-Based Stop-Loss & Take-Profit May Require Optimization. Different assets may require different ATR multipliers and RR settings.
Market Noise May Still Influence Pivots. While this method filters some noise, fake breakouts can still occur.
Conclusion
The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy is a non-repainting supply and demand system that combines:
Pivot-based market structure analysis (using Rally, Base, and Drop candles).
Breakout-based trade entries at confirmed SND levels.
ATR-based dynamic risk management for stop-loss and take-profit calculation.
This strategy helps traders:
Identify high-probability supply and demand levels.
Trade based on structured market pivots.
Use a systematic approach to price action analysis.
Automatically manage risk with ATR-based exits.
The strict pivot detection rules and built-in breakout validation make this strategy ideal for traders looking to:
Trade based on market structure.
Use defined support & resistance levels.
Reduce noise compared to traditional fractals.
Implement a structured supply & demand trading model.
This strategy is fully customizable, allowing traders to adjust parameters to fit their market and trading style.

Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy [AlgoAlpha X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Liquidity Sweep Filter developed by AlgoAlpha. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to AlgoAlpha.
The Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy is a non-repainting trading system designed to identify liquidity sweeps, trend shifts, and high-impact price levels. It incorporates volume-based liquidation analysis, trend confirmation, and dynamic support/resistance detection to optimize trade entries and exits.
This strategy helps traders:
Detect liquidity sweeps where major market participants trigger stop losses and liquidations.
Identify trend shifts using a volatility-based moving average system.
Analyze volume distribution with a built-in volume profile visualization.
Filter noise by differentiating between major and minor liquidity sweeps.
How the Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy Works
1. Trend Detection Using Volatility-Based Filtering
The strategy applies a volatility-adjusted moving average system to determine trend direction:
A central trend line is calculated using an EMA smoothed over a user-defined length.
Upper and lower deviation bands are created based on the average price deviation over multiple periods.
If price closes above the upper band, the strategy signals an uptrend.
If price closes below the lower band, the strategy signals a downtrend.
This approach ensures that trend shifts are confirmed only when price significantly moves beyond normal market fluctuations.
2. Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity sweeps occur when price temporarily breaks key levels, triggering stop-loss liquidations or margin call events. The strategy tracks swing highs and lows, marking potential liquidity grabs:
Bearish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent high, then reverses downward.
Bullish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent low, then reverses upward.
Volume Integration – The strategy analyzes trading volume at each sweep to differentiate between major and minor sweeps.
Key levels where liquidity sweeps occur are plotted as color-coded horizontal lines:
Red lines indicate bearish liquidity sweeps.
Green lines indicate bullish liquidity sweeps.
Labels are displayed at each sweep, showing the volume of liquidated positions at that level.
3. Volume Profile Analysis
The strategy includes an optional volume profile visualization, displaying how trading volume is distributed across different price levels.
Features of the volume profile:
Point of Control (POC) – The price level with the highest traded volume is marked as a key area of interest.
Bounding Box – The profile is enclosed within a transparent box, helping traders visualize the price range of high trading activity.
Customizable Resolution & Scale – Traders can adjust the granularity of the profile to match their preferred time frame.
The volume profile helps identify zones of strong support and resistance, making it easier to anticipate price reactions at key levels.
Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
The strategy allows traders to configure trade direction:
Long Only – Only takes long trades.
Short Only – Only takes short trades.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
A bullish trend shift is confirmed.
A bullish liquidity sweep occurs (price sweeps below a key level and reverses).
The trade direction setting allows long trades.
Short Entry:
A bearish trend shift is confirmed.
A bearish liquidity sweep occurs (price sweeps above a key level and reverses).
The trade direction setting allows short trades.
Exit Conditions
Closing a Long Position:
A bearish trend shift occurs.
The position is liquidated at a predefined liquidity sweep level.
Closing a Short Position:
A bullish trend shift occurs.
The position is liquidated at a predefined liquidity sweep level.
Customization Options
The strategy offers multiple adjustable settings:
Trade Mode: Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Trend Calculation Length & Multiplier: Adjust how trend signals are calculated.
Liquidity Sweep Sensitivity: Customize how aggressively the strategy identifies sweeps.
Volume Profile Display: Enable or disable the volume profile visualization.
Bounding Box & Scaling: Control the size and position of the volume profile.
Color Customization: Adjust colors for bullish and bearish signals.
Considerations & Limitations
Liquidity sweeps do not always result in reversals. Some price sweeps may continue in the same direction.
Works best in volatile markets. In low-volatility environments, liquidity sweeps may be less reliable.
Trend confirmation adds a slight delay. The strategy ensures valid signals, but this may result in slightly later entries.
Large volume imbalances may distort the volume profile. Adjusting the scale settings can help improve visualization.
Conclusion
The Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy is a volume-integrated trading system that combines liquidity sweeps, trend analysis, and volume profile data to optimize trade execution.
By identifying key price levels where liquidations occur, this strategy provides valuable insight into market behavior, helping traders make better-informed trading decisions.
Key use cases for this strategy:
Liquidity-Based Trading – Capturing moves triggered by stop hunts and liquidations.
Volume Analysis – Using volume profile data to confirm high-activity price zones.
Trend Following – Entering trades based on confirmed trend shifts.
Support & Resistance Trading – Using liquidity sweep levels as dynamic price zones.
This strategy is fully customizable, allowing traders to adapt it to different market conditions, timeframes, and risk preferences.

TJR SEEK AND DESTROYTJR SEEK AND DESTROY – Intraday ICT Trading Tool
Built for day traders, TJR SEEK AND DESTROY combines Smart Money concepts like order blocks, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps with structure breaks and daily bias to pinpoint high-probability trades during US market hours (9:30–16:00). Ideal for scalping or intraday strategies on stocks, futures, or forex.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike standalone ICT indicators, this script integrates:
Order Blocks with volume and range filters for precise support/resistance zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to spot pre-market price imbalances.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Liquidity Sweeps for trend and reversal signals.
A 1H MA-based Bias to align trades with the day’s direction.
BUY/SELL Labels triggered only when bias, BOS, and sweeps align, reducing noise.
How Does It Work?
Order Blocks: Marks zones with high volume (>1.5x 20-period SMA) and low range (<0.5x ATR20) as teal boxes—potential reversal points.
Fair Value Gap: Compares the prior day’s close to the current open (pre- or post-9:30), shown as a purple line and label (e.g., "FVG: 0.005").
Pivot Point: Calculates (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3 from the prior day, plotted as an orange line for equilibrium.
Break of Structure: Detects crossovers of 5-bar highs/lows (gray lines), marked with red triangles.
Liquidity Sweeps: Tracks breaches of the prior day’s high/low (yellow lines), marked with yellow triangles.
Daily Bias: Uses 1H close vs. 20-period MA (blue line) for bullish (green background), bearish (red), or neutral (gray) context.
Signals: BUY (green label) when bias is bullish, price breaks up, and sweeps the prior high; SELL (red label) when bias is bearish, price breaks down, and sweeps the prior low.
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to 1M–15M charts for US session trading (9:30–16:00 EST).
Trading:
Wait for a BUY label after a yellow sweep triangle above the prior day’s high in a green (bullish) background.
Wait for a SELL label after a yellow sweep triangle below the prior day’s low in a red (bearish) background.
Use order blocks (teal boxes) as support/resistance for stop-loss or take-profit.
Markets: Best for SPY, ES futures, or forex pairs with US session volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Order Blocks: High-volume, low-range bars suggest institutional activity.
FVG: Gaps between close and open indicate imbalance to be filled.
BOS & Sweeps: Price breaking key levels signals momentum or stop-hunting.
Bias: 1H MA filters trades by broader trend.
Chart Setup
Displays order blocks (teal boxes), pivot (orange), open (purple), bias (colored background), BOS/sweeps (triangles), and signals (labels). Keep other indicators off for clarity.
Advanced Session Profile Predictor with SR Boxes & ORAdvanced Session Profile Predictor with Momentum Arrows
Designed for intraday traders, this indicator analyzes price action across Asia, London, and New York sessions to predict market profiles and highlight key trading opportunities. By combining session-based profiling, Opening Range (OR) visualization, and momentum signals from Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), it offers a unique tool for anticipating trends, reversals, and breakouts. Ideal for forex, indices, and crypto on 15M–1H charts.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike typical session indicators that only mark time zones or standard TDI scripts that focus on momentum, this tool:
Predicts market profiles (e.g., "Trend Continuation," "NY Manipulation") by analyzing session ranges and directional moves, offering actionable insights into how sessions interact.
Visualizes Opening Range (OR) boxes for the first 15 minutes of each session, helping traders spot early breakout levels.
Integrates TDI with momentum to generate precise bullish/bearish arrows, filtered by session context for improved reliability.
Simplifies decision-making with dynamic profile labels showing real-time long/short conditions based on price levels.
How Does It Work?
Session Tracking:
Asia (00:00–08:00 UTC, yellow), London (08:00–16:00 UTC, red), and New York (13:00–21:00 UTC, blue) sessions are highlighted with background colors and high/low lines (crosses).
OR boxes (first 15 minutes) are drawn for each session: yellow for Asia, red for London, blue for NY.
Profile Prediction:
Compares Asia and London session ranges and directions (e.g., trending if range > 1.5x 5-period SMA).
Examples:
Trend Continuation: Asia and London trend in the same direction—long above Asia high (uptrend) or short below Asia low (downtrend).
NY Manipulation: Asia trends, London consolidates—watch for NY breakouts at London high/low.
Displays the predicted profile and entry conditions in labels (e.g., "IF price hits 1.2000 LONG").
Momentum Arrows:
Uses TDI (RSI period 21, bands 34, fast MA 2) and 12-period momentum.
Green up arrow: Fast MA > upper band (>68) and momentum rising (bullish).
Red down arrow: Fast MA < lower band (<32) and momentum falling (bearish).
Support/Resistance (SR):
Plots dynamic SR boxes based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume (inspired by ChartPrime’s methodology, credited below).
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to a 15M–1H chart. Adjust time zone (default: UTC) and session times if needed. Customize TDI/momentum settings for sensitivity.
Trading:
Check the top-right labels for the current profile and entry conditions (e.g., "IF price hits LONG/SHORT").
Confirm entries with green up arrows (bullish) or red down arrows (bearish).
Use OR boxes and session high/low lines to identify breakout or reversal levels.
Example: In "NY Manipulation," wait for price to hit London high (long) or low (short) during NY session, confirmed by an arrow.
Best Markets: Forex (EUR/USD), indices (SPX500), crypto (BTC/USD) with sufficient intraday volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Session Profiling: Detects trends (range > SMA * threshold) and manipulation (e.g., London breaking Asia’s high/low) to predict NY behavior.
OR Boxes: Marks the first 15 minutes’ high/low as a breakout zone (time-based, 900,000 ms).
TDI + Momentum: Combines RSI-based bands with price change (close – close ) for momentum signals.
SR Boxes: Identifies pivots over a lookback period (default 20), scaled by ATR and filtered by volume thresholds.
Credits
The SR box logic is inspired by ChartPrime’s volume-filtered support/resistance methodology, adapted with custom breakout/hold detection. Original authors are credited for their foundational work.
Chart Setup
Displays session backgrounds, OR boxes, high/low lines, TDI arrows, and profile labels. Keep other indicators off for clarity.
