Overview
The Opening Score Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders assess market sentiment, trend direction, and potential reversals. By combining Opening Range Breakout (ORB), VWAP, Trend, Volatility, and Divergence Detection, this indicator provides a composite score that adapts to different market conditions.
This version includes divergence detection between the Opening Score and price, which highlights potential trend reversals or continuations before they happen. When a regular divergence occurs, the histogram bar turns orange, signaling an increased probability of a trend change.
