Killzone Session High/Low Levels [SmartFoxy]Killzone Session High/Low Levels
The Killzone Session High/Low Levels indicator by SmartFoxy provides a complete intraday framework for understanding session-based liquidity, market structure rotation, and breakout behavior across global trading sessions.
It automatically plots the High/Low ranges for each selected session, highlights session killzones, and tracks breakout events with optional alerts.
This tool is designed for traders who rely on session dynamics (Asia, Frankfurt, London, New York) to identify liquidity targets, sweep zones, key ranges, and continuation/reversal opportunities.
________________________________________
How It Works
The indicator detects the active trading sessions for each day and builds structural High/Low ranges for them:
• Asia Session Range (High/Low);
• Frankfurt Session Range;
• London Session Range;
• New York Session Range;
• Optional custom session (NY Open, or any killzone).
For each session, the script can display:
• Session box or column;
• High/Low levels;
• Labels for every range (H/L);
• True session boundaries using user-defined timezone;
• Auto-extended levels up to the latest candle;
• Break levels after a breakout;
• Conditional removal or recoloring after a level is breached.
This gives traders a clean visual map of session liquidity and how price interacts with it throughout the day.

APXTradez - Intraday RSI (8)🔹 APXTradez Intraday RSI (8)
Purpose:
A fast-reacting momentum and bias indicator built for intraday options and scalping setups. This version of RSI (8) identifies immediate shifts in strength, momentum slope, and trend bias—allowing traders to spot reversals, momentum builds, or choppy zones within seconds.
What It Shows
RSI (8) → ultra-responsive short-term strength indicator.
Bias Zones:
- Bull Bias (Green) – RSI rising above 55 with slope up → intraday long setups favored.
- Bear Bias (Red) – RSI falling below 45 with slope down → short setups favored.
- Chop (Gray) – Neutral area between 45–55 → reduced edge, wait for direction.
- Background Color: Highlights current bias (green/red/gray) for quick visual confirmation.
- Dynamic Label: Displays live bias text on chart (Bull, Bear, or Chop).
How to Use
Apply on 1m–15m charts for day trading or scalping options.
Trade in bias direction:
- Enter long when RSI crosses + slopes above 55 (bull bias).
- Enter short when RSI crosses + slopes below 45 (bear bias).
- Avoid chop zones (RSI between 45–55 or flat). Wait for a slope confirmation.
Combine with APX Intraday VWAP + EMA overlay, APX TTM Squeeze, and/or the APX MACD to align direction with trend and volume pressure.
Overbought/Oversold: Above 70 or below 30 still mark exhaustion zones — use for exits, not entries.
Best Use Case
Intraday confirmation of trend bias and momentum strength — helping you stay on the right side of fast-moving setups and avoid low-edge chop.
APXTradez - Intraday Overlay (VWAP + EMAs)🔹 APXTradez Intraday Overlay (VWAP + EMAs)
Purpose:
A clean, real-time intraday framework built for options scalpers and day traders.
This overlay combines VWAP, 8/21 EMAs, Bollinger Bands, and Keltner Channels to visualize short-term momentum, trend structure, and volatility compression directly on your chart.
What It Shows
8 EMA (teal) → Fast momentum and micro-trend direction.
21 EMA (orange) → Short-term trend confirmation and pullback zone.
VWAP (aqua) → Institutional average price; key intraday bias level.
Bollinger Bands (lime) → Standard deviation volatility envelope.
Keltner Channels (fuchsia) → ATR-based volatility range.
Compression Highlight (orange) → Shows when BBs are inside KCs, signaling volatility contraction and potential breakout setup.
How to Use
Apply on 1-min to 15-min charts for intraday trading.
Trend bias:
Price above VWAP and 8/21 EMA stack = bullish intraday momentum.
Price below VWAP and 8/21 EMA stack = bearish bias.
- Compression zones (orange highlights):
Indicates low-volatility consolidation → prepare for breakout.
Wait for breakout direction confirmation before entry.
Combine with momentum indicators (like APX TTM Squeeze, APX RSI or MACD) for confirmation.
Best Use Case
Scalping or day-trading options during high-volume sessions where VWAP and EMA structure drive precision entries and exits.
SigmaRevert: Z-Score Adaptive Mean Reversion [KedArc Quant]🔍 Overview
SigmaRevert is a clean, research-driven mean-reversion framework built on Z-Score deviation — a statistical measure of how far the current price diverges from its dynamic mean.
When price stretches too far from equilibrium (the mean), SigmaRevert identifies the statistical “sigma distance” and seeks reversion trades back toward it. Designed primarily for 5-minute intraday use, SigmaRevert automatically adapts to volatility via ATR-based scaling, optional higher-timeframe trend filters, and cooldown logic for controlled frequency
🧠 What “Sigma” Means Here
In statistics, σ (sigma) represents standard deviation, the measure of dispersion or variability.
SigmaRevert uses this concept directly:
Each bar’s price deviation from the mean is expressed as a Z-Score — the number of sigmas away from the mean.
When Z > 1.5, the price is statistically “over-extended”; when it returns toward 0, it reverts to the mean.
In short:
Sigma = Standard deviation distance
SigmaRevert = Trading the reversion of extreme sigma deviations
💡 Why Traders Use SigmaRevert
Quant-based clarity: removes emotion by relying on statistical extremes.
Volatility-adaptive: automatically adjusts to changing market noise.
Low drawdown: filters avoid over-exposure during strong trends.
Multi-market ready: works across stocks, indices, and crypto with parameter tuning.
Modular design: every component can be toggled without breaking the core logic.
🧩 Why This Is NOT a Mash-Up
Unlike “mash-up” scripts that randomly combine indicators, this strategy is built around one cohesive hypothesis:
“Price deviations from a statistically stable mean (Z-Score) tend to revert.”
Every module — ATR scaling, cooldown, HTF trend gating, exits — reinforces that single hypothesis rather than mixing unrelated systems (like RSI + MACD + EMA).
The structure is minimal yet expandable, maintaining research integrity and transparency.

📘 Glossary
Z-Score
Statistical measure of how far current price deviates from its mean, normalized by standard deviation.
Mean Reversion
The tendency of price to return to its average after temporary divergence.
ATR
Average True Range — measures volatility and defines adaptive stop distances.
Re-Cross
Secondary signal confirming reversal after an extreme.
HTF
Higher Timeframe — provides macro trend bias (e.g. 1-hour or daily).
Cooldown
Minimum bars to wait before re-entering after a trade closes.
❓ FAQ
Q1: Why are there no trades sometimes?
➡ Check that all filters are off. If still no trades, Z-scores might not breach the thresholds. Lower `zEntry` (1.2–1.4) to increase frequency.
Q2: Why does it sometimes fade breakouts?
➡ Mean reversion assumes overextension — disable it during strong trending days or use the HTF filter.
Q3: Can I use this for Forex or Crypto?
➡ Yes — but adjust session filters (`useSession=false`) and increase `maLen` for smoother means.
Q4: Why is profit factor so high but small overall gain?
➡ Because this script focuses on capital efficiency — low drawdown and steady scaling. Increase position size once stable.
Q5: Can I automate this on broker integration?
➡ Yes — the strategy uses standard `strategy.entry` and `strategy.exit` calls, compatible with TradingView webhooks.
🧭 How It Helps Traders
This strategy gives:
Discipline: no impulsive trades — strict statistical rules.
Consistency: removes emotional bias; same logic applies every bar.
Scalability: works across instruments and timeframes.
Transparency: all signals are derived from visible Z-Score math.
It’s ideal for quant-inclined discretionary traders who want rule-based entries but maintain human judgment for context (earnings days, macro news, etc.).
🧱 Final Notes
Best used on liquid stocks with continuous price movement.
Avoid illiquid or gap-heavy tickers.
Validate parameters per instrument — Z behavior differs between equities and indices.
Remember: Mean reversion works best in range-bound volatility, not during explosive breakouts.

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

Squeeze Breakout Strategy [KedArc Quant]Description:
Squeeze Breakout strategy looks for volatility compression (Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels = a “squeeze”), then trades the volatility expansion in the direction of a momentum filter.
🧠 How the “Squeeze → Expansion” works
- Markets alternate between quiet (compressed) and active (expanded) phases.
- We call it a squeeze when Bollinger Bands (BB)—which reflect standard deviation around price—shrink inside the Keltner Channels (KC)—which reflect ATR/range.
- This means dispersion (stdev) is small relative to typical range (ATR). Price is coiling; participants are agreeing on value.
- When BB pops back outside KC, the squeeze releases. That’s the first sign that volatility is expanding again.
- A release alone doesn’t tell you direction. That’s why this strategy pairs the release with a momentum filter:
- We estimate momentum using a smoothed linear-regression slope of price (a clean proxy for acceleration).
- If the slope is positive at release, we favor longs; if negative, we favor shorts.
- Optionally, you can require Band Break + Momentum (price closes beyond the BB) for a stricter entry.
- This combination aims to capture the first leg of the range-to-trend transition while avoiding random pokes that often occur during tight consolidations.
💡 Why this is unique
Two entry modes (toggle):
1. Release + Momentum (enter when the squeeze turns off)
2. Band Break + Momentum (enter on a close beyond BB with momentum)
- Momentum = smoothed linear-regression slope, a clean thrust detector that’s less laggy than many oscillators.
- Risk module included: ATR stop, optional 1R partial take-profit, and a Chandelier trailing stop for the runner.
- Practical filters: higher-timeframe EMA trend alignment, volume surge, minimum BB width, and session window—so it adapts across markets/timeframes.
- Backtest-ready: uses TradingView’s `strategy.` framework with commission/slippage controls.
📈 How it helps traders
✅Regime clarity: distinguishes compression vs. expansion so you’re not forcing trades during dead zones.
✅Objective entries: momentum + band logic reduces discretionary “feel” and late chases.
✅Built-in risk plan: stop/targets/trailing defined in inputs—consistent execution across tickers.
✅Adaptable: works across instruments/timeframes; filters let you tailor noise tolerance per market session.
✅Alerts: real-time signals for entry and squeeze release.
✅Not a Mash-Up / Original Work
✅Fully authored in Pine Script v6; no external libraries or copied logic blocks.
✅Uses well-known, documented formulas (BB, KC, ATR, LinReg slope) combined into a new rule set (two entry modes + momentum + structured exits).
✅Code and parameters are transparent and adjustable; the script stands alone.
🧩 Formulas (core)
Bollinger Bands
# Basis = `SMA(close, bbLen)`
# Upper/Lower = `Basis ± bbMult × stdev(close, bbLen)`
# Width% = `(Upper − Lower) / Basis × 100`
Keltner Channels
# Basis = `EMA(close, kcLen)`
# Upper/Lower = `Basis ± kcMult × ATR(kcATR)`
Squeeze state
# ON: `BB_Upper < KC_Upper` and `BB_Lower > KC_Lower`
# Release: `squeeze_on ` and `not squeeze_on`
Momentum (this script)
# `lin = linreg(close, momLen, 0)`
# `mom = SMA( lin − lin , momSmoothing )`
# Long bias when `mom > 0`; short bias when `mom < 0`.
⚙️ Inputs
Compression
`bbLen`, `bbMult` — BB length & std-dev multiplier
`kcLen`, `kcATR`, `kcMult` — KC lengths & ATR multiplier
`Entry Mode` — Release + Momentum, Band Break + Momentum, or Either
Momentum
`momLen`, `momSmoothing`
Filters (optional)
`Use HTF Trend Filter` + `HTF Timeframe` + `HTF EMA Length`
`Require Volume Surge` (`volLen`, `volMult`)
`Avoid Ultra-Low Vol` (`Min BB Width %`)
`Session` window
Risk / Exits
`ATR Length`, `ATR Stop Multiplier`
`Take Profit at 1R` (with Partial 50%)
`Chandelier` (`chLen`, `chMult`)
Optional `Time Stop (bars)`
🎯 Entry & Exit Rules
Entry (choose one mode):
1. Release + Momentum (default)
Long: on the bar the squeeze releases and `mom > 0`, passing all enabled filters.
Short: on the bar the squeeze releases and `mom < 0`, passing filters.
2. Band Break + Momentum
Long: `close > BB_Upper` and `mom > 0`, with filters.
Short: `close < BB_Lower` and `mom < 0`, with filters.
Initial Stop
ATR-based: `Stop Distance = atrMult × ATR(atrLen)` from entry.
Targets & Runner
TP1 at 1R (optional): take 50% at `entry + 1R` (long) / `entry − 1R` (short).
Runner: remaining position trails a Chandelier stop:
Long trail = `highest(high, chLen) − chMult × ATR`
Short trail = `lowest(low, chLen) + chMult × ATR`
Optional Time Stop: close the trade after N bars in position.
Labels on chart
“Long” / “Short” = entry signals.
“L-TP1 / S-TP1” = partial exits at 1R.
“L-Runner / S-Runner” = trailing-stop exits of the runner.
Alerts
Provided for Long Entry, Short Entry, and Squeeze Release.
💬 How to use
1. Choose your market/timeframe (e.g., NSE 5–15m intraday, 60m–Daily for swing).
2. If you prefer cleaner trends, enable the HTF EMA filter (e.g., 240m/1D).
3. For intraday, consider Band Break + Momentum with Volume Surge and a small Min BB Width.
4. Adjust ATR/Chandelier multipliers to fit your risk tolerance and instrument.

Volume Imbalances & Gann's Square IndicatorVolume Imbalances & Gann's Square Indicator:
This script is a comprehensive trading toolkit designed to help intraday and swing traders identify high-probability trade setups by combining the strengths of Gann's Theory, price-volume analysis, and multi-indicator signal confirmation in one indicator.
Key Features and Their Roles:
Gann’s S/R Levels:
Calculates main and auxiliary support/resistance lines using Gann’s “odd square” approach based on the current price. Levels are projected historically and into the future to clearly visualize critical zones for potential reversals and breakouts.
Volume*Price (VP) Spike Table:
Detects and displays real-time buy and sell volume spikes above a configurable threshold, highlighting large market transactions. The on-chart table summarizes recent major spikes with time and price for context, resetting every session.
Multi-EMA & VWAP Logic:
Integrates three customizable EMAs, VWAP, and Supertrend. Users can toggle signals from EMA crossovers, price-VWAP positioning, or Supertrend direction to match their preferred trading style and filter signals for trend or mean-reversion strategies.
Buy/Sell Labels and Signal Source Control:
Clearly plots buy/sell marker labels with customizable text, color, and size, based on the chosen signal source (EMA cross, VWAP, Supertrend). Labels offset from candles for easy visibility.
First Candle Range & Session Tools:
Plots the initial range (high, low, and midpoint) of a user-defined session, helping visualize and trade session breakouts or range retests. Session logic ensures all statistical tables and levels reset at session start.
Automated Risk/Reward Table:
Instantly calculates capital allocation, stop-loss, potential quantity, and two profit targets for both long and short trades. Helps traders plan size and risk per trade in compliance with risk management principles.
Highest/Lowest VP Markers:
Highlights the day’s peak and trough volume*price values for context on institutional buying or selling pressure.
Previous Day Range Plotter:
Draws previous session’s high/low levels for reliable reference zones and potential trade targets.
Integration Rationale:
All components are thoughtfully integrated to provide a holistic decision-making workflow:
Volume/price spikes act as momentum or liquidity signals.
Gann levels define the “where” for reaction or breakout trades.
Signal logics (EMA/VWAP/Supertrend) answer the “when,” enabling higher-confidence entries only when multiple conditions align.
How to Use:
Select your preferred inputs for EMAs, VWAP, and risk settings in the panel.
Analyze the chart for signals where buy/sell labels align with fresh VP spikes near Gann or previous day support/resistance.
Use the risk/reward table for strict money management.
Reference spike tables and session range for contextual confirmation.
Visuals and Chart Guidance:
The script displays only essential tables, lines, and labels described above.
All chart elements are explained in this description—no external scripts needed for interpretation.
Each table and marker is linked to actionable trading logic, eliminating clutter.
Closed-source Explanation:
The indicator uses session-based calculations, real-time data arrays, and proprietary math to unify Gann theory logic, large transaction detection, and multi-indicator confirmation. All major trade conditions have alert signals for ready integration with TradingView’s alert system.
HTF Fibonacci on intraday ChartThis indicator plots Higher Timeframe (HTF) Fibonacci retracement levels directly on your intraday chart, allowing you to visualize how the current price action reacts to key retracement zones derived from the higher timeframe trend.
Concept
Fibonacci retracement levels are powerful tools used to identify potential support and resistance zones within a price trend.
However, these levels are often calculated on a higher timeframe (like Daily or Weekly), while most traders execute entries on lower timeframes (like 15m, 30m, or 1H).
This indicator bridges that gap — it projects the higher timeframe’s Fibonacci levels onto your current intraday chart, helping you see where institutional reactions or swing pivots might occur in real time.
How It Works
Select the Higher Timeframe (HTF)
You can choose which higher timeframe the Fibonacci structure is derived from — default is Daily.
Define the Lookback Period
The script looks back over the chosen number of bars on the higher timeframe to find the highest high and lowest low — the base for Fibonacci calculations.
Plots Key Fibonacci Levels Automatically:
0% (Low)
23.6%
38.2%
50.0%
61.8%
78.6%
100% (High)
Dynamic Labels
Each Fibonacci level is labelled on the latest bar, updating in real time as new data forms on the higher timeframe.
Best Used For
Intraday traders who want to align lower-timeframe entries with higher-timeframe structure.
Swing traders confirming price reactions around major Fibonacci retracement zones.
Contextual analysis for pullback entries, breakout confirmations, or retests of key levels.
Recommended Settings
Higher Timeframe: Daily (for intraday analysis)
Lookback: 50 bars (adjust based on volatility)
Combine with MACD, RSI, CPR, or Pivots for confluence.

Friday & Monday HighlighterFriday & Monday Institutional Range Marker — Know Where Big Firms Set the Trap!
🧠 Description
This indicator automatically highlights Friday and Monday sessions on your chart — days when institutional players and algorithmic firms (like Citadel, Jane Street, or Tower Research) quietly shape the upcoming week’s price structure.
🔍 Why Friday & Monday matter
Friday : Large institutions often book profits or hedge into the weekend. Their final-hour moves reveal the next week’s bias.
Monday : Big players rebuild positions, absorbing liquidity left behind by retail traders.
Together, these two days define the range traps and breakout zones that often control price action until midweek.
> In short, the Friday–Monday high and low often act as invisible walls — guiding scalpers, option sellers, and swing traders alike.
🧩 What this tool does
✅ Highlights Friday (red) and Monday (green) sessions
✅ Adds optional day labels above bars
✅ Works across all timeframes (best on 15min to 1hr charts)
✅ Helps you visually identify where institutions likely built their positions
Use it to quickly spot:
* Range boundaries that trap traders
* Gap zones likely to get filled
* High–low sweeps before reversals
⚙️ Recommended Use
1. Mark Friday’s high–low → Watch for liquidity sweeps on Monday.
2. When Monday holds above Friday’s high , breakout continuation is likely.
3. When Monday fails below Friday’s low , expect a reversal or trap.
4. Combine this with OI shifts, IV crush, and FII–DII flow data for confirmation.

FirstStrike Long 200 - Daily Trend Rider [KedArc Quant]Strategy Description
FirstStrike Long 200 is a disciplined, long-only momentum strategy designed for daily "strike-first" entries in trending markets. It scans for RSI momentum above a customizable trigger (default 50), confirmed by EMA trend filters, and limits you to *exactly one trade per day* to avoid overtrading. It uses ATR for dynamic risk management (1.5x stop, 2:1 RR target) and optional trailing stops to ride winners. Backtested with realistic commissions and sizing, it prioritizes low drawdowns (<1% max in tests) over aggressive gains—ideal for swing traders seeking quality setups in bull runs.
Why It's Different from Other Strategies
Unlike generic RSI crossover bots or EMA ribbon mashups that spam signals and bleed in chop, FirstStrike enforces a "one-and-done" daily gate, blending precision momentum (RSI modes with grace/sustain) with robust filters (volume, sessions, rearm dips).
How It Helps Traders
- Reduces Emotional Trading: One entry/day forces discipline—miss a setup? Wait for tomorrow. Perfect for busy pros avoiding screen fatigue.
- Adapts to Regimes: Switch modes for trends ("Cross+Grace") vs. ranges ("Any bar")—boosts win rates 5-10% in backtests on high-beta names like .
- Risk-First Design: ATR scales stops to vol capping DD at 0.2% while targeting 2R winners. Trailing option locks +3-5% runs without early exits.
- Quick Insights: Labels/alerts flag entries with RSI values; bgcolor highlights signals for visual scanning. Helps spot "first-strike" edges in uptrends, filtering ~60% noise.
Why This Is Not a Mashup
This isn't a Frankenstein of off-the-shelf indicators—while it uses standard RSI/EMA/ATR (core Pine primitives), the innovation lies in:
- Custom Trigger Engine: Switchable modes (e.g., "Cross+Grace+Sustain" requires post-cross hold) prevent perpetual signals, unlike basic `ta.crossover()`.
- Daily Rearm Gate: Resets eligibility only after a dip (if enabled), tying momentum to mean-reversion—original logic not found in common scripts.
- Per-Day Isolation: `var` vars + `ta.change(time("D"))` ensure zero pyramiding/overlaps, beyond simple session filters.
All formulae are derived in-house for "first-strike" (early RSI pops in trends), not copied from public repos.

Let's break down every input in the FirstStrike Long 200 strategy. These settings let you tweak the strategy like a dashboard—start with defaults for quick testing,
then adjust based on your asset or timeframe (5m for intraday). They're grouped logically to keep things organized, and most have tooltips in the script for quick reminders.
RSI / Trigger Group: The Heart of Momentum Detection
This is where the magic starts—the strategy hunts for "upward energy" using RSI (Relative Strength Index), a tool that measures if a stock is overbought (too hot) or oversold (too cold) on a 0-100 scale.
- RSI Length: How many bars (candles) back to calculate RSI. Default is 14, like a 14-day window for daily charts. Shorter (e.g., 9) makes it snappier for fast markets; longer (21) smooths out noise but misses quick turns.
- Trigger Level (RSI >= this): The key RSI value where the strategy says, "Go time!" Default 50 means enter when RSI crosses or holds above the neutral midline. Why is this trigger required? It acts as your "green light" filter—without it, you'd enter on every tiny price wiggle, leading to endless losers. RSI above this shows building buyer power, avoiding weak or sideways moves. It's essential for quality over quantity, especially in one-trade-per-day setups.
- Trigger Mode: Picks how strict the RSI signal must be. Options: "Cross only" (exact RSI crossover above trigger—super precise, fewer trades); "Cross+Grace" (crossover or within a grace window after—gives a second chance); "Cross+Grace+Sustain" (crossover/grace plus RSI holding steady for bars—best for steady climbs); "Any bar >= trigger" (looser, any bar above—more opportunities but riskier in chop). Start with "Any bar" for trends, switch to "Cross only" for caution.
- Grace Window (bars after cross): If mode allows, how many bars post-RSI-cross you can still enter if RSI dips but recovers. Default 30 (about 2.5 hours on 5m). Zero means no wiggle room—pure precision.
- Sustain Bars (RSI >= trigger): In sustain mode, how many straight bars RSI must stay above trigger. Default 3 ensures it's not a fluke spike.
- Require RSI Dip Below Rearm Before Any Entry?: A yes/no toggle. If on, the strategy "rearms" only after RSI dips below a low level (like a breather), preventing back-to-back signals in overextended rallies.
- Rearm Level (if requireDip=true): The dip threshold for rearming. Default 45—RSI must go below this to reset eligibility. Lower (30) for deeper pullbacks in volatile stocks.
For the trigger level itself, presets matter a lot—default 50 is neutral and versatile for broad trends. Bump to 55-60 for "strong momentum only" (fewer but higher-win trades, great in bull runs like tech surges); drop to 40-45 for "early bird" catches in recoveries (more signals but watch for fakes in ranges). The optimize hint (40-60) lets you test these in TradingView to match your risk—higher presets cut noise by 20-30% in backtests.
Trend / Filters Group: Keeping You on the Right Side of the Market
These EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) act like guardrails, ensuring you only long in uptrends.
- EMA (Fast) Confirmation: Short-term EMA for price action. Default 20 periods—price must be above this for "recent strength." Shorter (10) reacts faster to intraday pops.
- EMA (Trend Filter): Long-term EMA for big-picture trend. Default 200 (classic "above the 200-day" rule)—price above it confirms bull market. Minimum 50 to avoid over-smoothing.
Optional Hour Window Group: Timing Your Strikes
Avoid bad hours like lunch lulls or after-hours tricks.
- Restrict by Session?: Yes/no for using exact market hours. Default off.
- Session (e.g., 0930-1600 for NYSE): Time string like "0930-1600" for open to close. Auto-skips pre/post-market noise.
- Restrict by Hour Range?: Fallback yes/no for simple hours. Default off.
- Start Hour / End Hour: Clock times (0-23). Defaults 9-15 ET—focus on peak volume.
Volume Filter Group: No Volume, No Party
Confirms conviction—big moves need big participation.
- Require Volume > SMA?: Yes/no toggle. Default off—only fires on above-average volume.
- Volume SMA Length: Periods for the average. Default 20—compares current bar to recent norm.
Risk / Exits Group: Protecting and Profiting Smartly
Dynamic stops based on volatility (ATR = Average True Range) keep things realistic.
- ATR Length: Bars for ATR calc. Default 14—measures recent "wiggle room" in price.
- ATR Stop Multiplier: How far below entry for stop-loss. Default 1.5x ATR—gives breathing space without huge risk
- Take-Profit R Multiple: Reward target as multiple of risk. Default 2.0 (2:1 ratio)—aims for twice your stop distance.
- Use Trailing Stop?: Yes/no for profit-locking trail. Default off—activates after entry.
- Trailing ATR Multiplier: Trail distance. Default 2.0x ATR—looser than initial stop to let winners run.
These inputs make the strategy plug-and-play: Defaults work out-of-box for trending stocks, but tweak RSI trigger/modes first for your style.
Always backtest changes—small shifts can flip a 40% win rate to 50%+!
Outputs (Visuals & Alerts):
- Plots: Blue EMA200 (trend line), Orange EMA20 (price filter), Green dashed entry price.
- Labels: Green "LONG" arrow with RSI value on entries.
- Background: Light green highlight on signal bars.
- Alerts: "FirstStrike Long Entry" fires on conditions (integrates with TradingView notifications).
Entry-Exit Logic
Entry (Long Only, One Per Day):
1. Daily Reset: New day clears trade gate and (if required) rearm status.
2. Filters Pass: Time/session OK + Close > EMA200 (trend) + Close > EMA20 (price) + Volume > SMA (if enabled) + Rearmed (dip below rearm if toggled).
3. Trigger Fires: RSI >= trigger via selected mode (e.g., crossover + grace window).
4. Execute: Enter long at close; set daily flag to block repeats.
Exit:
- Stop-Loss: Entry - (ATR * 1.5) – dynamic, vol-scaled.
- Take-Profit: Entry + (Risk * 2.0) – fixed RR.
- Trailing (Optional): Activates post-entry; trails at Close - (ATR * 2.0), updating on each bar for trend extension.
No shorts or hedging—pure long bias.
Formulae Used
- RSI: `ta.rsi(close, rsiLen)` – Standard 14-period momentum oscillator (0-100).
- EMAs: `ta.ema(close, len)` – Exponential moving averages for trend/price filters.
- ATR: `ta.atr(atrLen)` – True range average for stop sizing: Stop = Entry - (ATR * mult).
- Volume SMA: `ta.sma(volume, volLen)` – Simple average for relative strength filter.
- Grace Window: `bar_index - lastCrossBarIndex <= graceBars` – Counts bars since RSI crossover.
- Sustain: `ta.barssince(rsi < trigger) >= sustainBars` – Consecutive bars above threshold.
- Session Check: `time(timeframe.period, sessionStr) != 0` – TradingView's built-in session validator.
- Risk Distance: `riskPS = entry - stop; TP = entry + (riskPS * RR)` – Asymmetric reward calc.
FAQ
Q: Why only one trade/day?
A: Prevents revenge trading in volatile sessions . Backtests show it cuts losers by 20-30% vs. multi-entry bots.
Q: Does it work on all assets/timeframes?
A: Best for trending stocks/indices on 5m-1H. Test on crypto/forex with wider ATR mult (2.0+).
Q: How to optimize?
A: Use TradingView's optimizer on RSI trigger (40-60) and EMA fast (10-30). Aim for PF >1.0 over 1Y data.
Q: Alerts don't fire—why?
A: Ensure `alertcondition` is enabled in script settings. Test with "Any alert() function calls only."
Q: Trailing stop too loose?
A: Tune `trailMult` to 1.5 for tighter; it activates alongside fixed TP/SL for hybrid protection.
Glossary
- Grace Window: Post-RSI-cross period (bars) where entry still allowed if RSI holds trigger.
- Rearm Dip: Optional pullback below a low RSI level (e.g., 45) to "reset" eligibility after signals.
- Profit Factor (PF): Gross profit / gross loss—>1.0 means winners outweigh losers.
- R Multiple: Risk units (e.g., 2R = 2x stop distance as target).
- Sustain Bars: Consecutive bars RSI stays >= trigger for mode confirmation.
Recommendations
- Backtest First: Run on your symbols (/) over 6-12M; tweak RSI to 55 for +5% win rate.
- Live Use: Start paper trading with `useSession=true` and `useVol=true` to filter noise.
- Pairs Well With: Higher TF (daily) for bias; add ADX (>25) filter for strong trends (code snippet in prior chats).
- Risk Note: 10% sizing suits $100k+ accounts; scale down for smaller. Not financial advice—past performance ≠ future.
- Publish Tip: Add tags like "momentum," "RSI," "long-only" on TradingView for visibility.
Strategy Properties & Backtesting Setup
FirstStrike Long 200 is configured with conservative, realistic backtesting parameters to ensure reliable performance simulations. These settings prioritize capital preservation and transparency, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders testing on stocks.
Initial Capital
$100,000 Standard starting equity for portfolio-level testing; scales well for retail accounts. Adjust lower (e.g., $10k) for smaller simulations.
Base Currency
Default (USD) Aligns with most US equities (e.g., NASDAQ symbols); auto-converts for other assets.
Order Size
1 (Quantity) Fixed share contracts for simplicity—e.g., buys 1 share per trade. For % of equity, switch to "Percent of Equity" in strategy code.
Pyramiding
0 Orders No additional entries on open positions; enforces strict one-trade-per-day discipline to avoid overexposure.
Commission
0.1% Realistic broker fee (e.g., Interactive Brokers tier); factors in round-trip costs without over-penalizing winners.
Verify Price for Limit Orders
0 Ticks No slippage delay on TPs—assumes ideal fills for historical accuracy.
Slippage
0 Ticks Zero assumed slippage for clean backtests; real-world trading may add 1-2 ticks on volatile opens.
These defaults yield low drawdowns (<0.3% max in tests) while capturing trend edges. For live trading, enable slippage (1-3 ticks) to mimic execution gaps. Always forward-test before deploying!

Universal Breakout Strategy [KedArc Quant]Description:
A flexible breakout framework where you can test different logics (Prev Day, Bollinger, Volume, ATR, EMA Trend, RSI Confirm, Candle Confirm, Time Filter) under one system.
Choose your breakout mode, and the strategy will handle entries, exits, and optional risk management (ATR stops, take-profits, daily loss guard, cooldowns).
An on-chart info table shows live mode values (like Prev High/Low, Bollinger levels, RSI, etc.) plus P&L stats for quick analysis.
Use it to compare which breakout style works best on your instrument and timeframe, whether intraday, swing, or positional trading
🔑 Why it’s useful
* Flexibility: Switch between breakout strategies without loading different indicators.
* Clarity: On-chart info table displays current mode, relevant indicator levels, and live strategy P&L stats.
* Testing efficiency: Quickly A/B test different breakout styles under the same backtest environment.
* Transparency: Every trade is rule-based and displayed with entry/exit markers.
🚀 How it helps traders
* Lets you experiment with breakout strategies quickly without loading multiple scripts.
* Helps identify which breakout method fits your instrument & timeframe.
* Gives clear on-chart visual + statistical feedback for confident decision-making.
⚙️ Input Configuration
* Breakout Mode → choose which strategy to test:
* *Prev Day* → breakouts of yesterday’s High/Low.
* *Bollinger* → Upper/Lower BB pierce.
* *Volume* → Breakout confirmed with volume above average.
* *ATR Stop* → Wide range breakout using ATR filter.
* *Time Filter* → Breakouts inside defined session hours.
* *EMA Trend* → Breakouts only in EMA fast > slow alignment.
* *RSI Confirm* → Breakouts with RSI confirmation (e.g. >55 for longs).
* *Candle Confirm* → Breakouts validated by bullish/bearish candle.
* Lookback / ATR / Bollinger inputs → adjust sensitivity.
* Intrabar mode → option to evaluate breakouts using bar highs/lows instead of closes.
* Table options → show/hide info table, show/hide P&L stats, choose corner placement.
📈 Entry & Exit Logic
* Entry → occurs when breakout condition of chosen mode is met.
* Exit → default exits via opposite signals or optional stop/target if enabled.
* Session filter → optional auto-flat at session end.
* P&L management → optional daily loss guard, cooldown between trades, and ATR-based stop/take profit.
❓ FAQ — Choosing the best setup
Q: Which strategy should I use for which chart?
* *Prev Day Breakouts*: Best on indices, FX, and liquid futures with strong daily levels.
* *Bollinger*: Works well in range-bound environments, or crypto pairs with volatility compression.
* *Volume*: Good on equities where breakout strength is tied to volume spikes.
* *ATR Stop*: Suits volatile instruments (commodities, crypto).
* *EMA Trend*: Useful in trending markets (stocks, indices).
* *RSI Confirm*: Adds momentum filter, better for swing trades.
* *Candle Confirm*: Ideal for scalpers needing visual confirmation.
* *Time Filter*: For intraday traders who want signals only in high-liquidity sessions.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
* Intraday traders → 5m to 15m (Time Filter, Candle Confirm).
* Swing traders → 1H to 4H (EMA Trend, RSI Confirm, ATR Stop).
* Position traders → Daily (Prev Day, Bollinger).
* Breakout
A trade entry condition triggered when price crosses above a resistance level (for longs) or below a support level (for shorts).
* Prev Day High/Low
Formula:
Prev High = High of (Day )
Prev Low = Low of (Day )
* Bollinger Bands
Formula:
Basis = SMA(Close, Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
Lower Band = Basis – (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
* Volume Confirmation
A breakout is only valid if:
Volume > SMA(Volume, Length)
* ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility.
Formula:
ATR = SMA(True Range, Length)
where True Range = max(High–Low, |High–Close |, |Low–Close |)
* EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
Weighted moving average giving more weight to recent prices.
Formula:
EMA = (Price × α) + (EMA × (1–α))
with α = 2 / (Length + 1)
* RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Momentum oscillator scaled 0–100.
Formula:
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Avg(Gain, Length) ÷ Avg(Loss, Length)
* Candle Confirmation
Bullish candle: Close > Open AND Close > Close
Bearish candle: Close < Open AND Close < Close
Win Rate (%)
Formula:
Win Rate = (Winning Trades ÷ Total Trades) × 100
* Average Trade P&L
Formula:
Avg Trade = Net Profit ÷ Total Trades
📊 Performance Notes
The Universal Breakout Strategy is designed as a framework rather than a single-asset optimized system. Results will vary depending on the chart, timeframe, and asset chosen.
On the current defaults (15-minute, INR-denominated example), the backtest produced 132 trades over the selected period. This provides a statistically sufficient sample size.
Win rate (~35%) is relatively low, but this is balanced by a positive reward-to-risk ratio (~1.8). In practice, a lower win rate with larger wins versus smaller losses is sustainable.
The average P&L per trade is close to breakeven under default settings. This is expected, as the strategy is not tuned for a single symbol but offered as a universal breakout framework.
Commissions (0.1%) and slippage (1 tick) are included in the simulation, ensuring realistic conditions.
Risk management is conservative, with order sizing set at 1 unit per trade. This avoids over-leveraging and keeps exposure well under the 5-10% equity risk guideline.
👉 Traders are encouraged to:
Experiment with inputs such as ATR period, breakout length, or Bollinger parameters.
Test across different timeframes and instruments (equities, futures, forex, crypto) to find optimal setups.
Combine with filters (trend direction, volatility regimes, or volume conditions) for further refinement.

Foresight Cone (HoltxF1xVWAP) [KedArc Quant]Description:
This is a time-series forecasting indicator that estimates the next bar (F1) and projects a path a few bars ahead. It also draws a confidence cone based on how accurate the recent forecasts have been. You can optionally color the projection only when price agrees with VWAP.
Why it’s different
* One clear model: Everything comes from Holt’s trend-aware forecasting method—no mix of unrelated indicators.
* Transparent visuals: You see the next-bar estimate (F1), the forward projection, and a cone that widens or narrows based on recent forecast error.
* Context, not signals: The VWAP option only changes colors. It doesn’t add trade rules.
* No look-ahead: Accuracy is measured using the forecast made on the previous bar versus the current bar.
Inputs (what they mean)
* Source: Price series to forecast (default: Close).
* Preset: Quick profiles for fast, smooth, or momentum markets (see below).
* Alpha (Level): How fast the model reacts to new prices. Higher = faster, twitchier.
* Beta (Trend): How fast the model updates the slope. Higher = faster pivots, more flips in chop.
* Horizon: How many bars ahead to project. Bigger = wider cone.
* Residual Window: How many bars to judge recent accuracy. Bigger = steadier cone.
* Confidence Z: How wide the cone should be (typical setting ≈ “95% style” width).
* Show Bands / Draw Forward Path: Turn the cone and forward lines on/off.
* Color only when aligned with VWAP: Highlights projections only when price agrees with the trend side of VWAP.
* Colors / Show Panel: Styling plus a small panel with RMSE, MAPE, and trend slope.
Presets (when to pick which)
* Scalp / Fast (1-min): Very responsive; best for quick moves. More twitch in chop.
* Smooth Intraday (1–5 min): Calmer and steadier; a good default most days.
* Momentum / Breakout: Quicker slope tracking during strong pushes; may over-react in ranges.
* Custom: Set your own values if you know exactly what you want.
What is F1 here?
F1 is the model’s next-bar fair value. Crosses of price versus F1 can hint at short-term momentum shifts or mean-reversion, especially when viewed with VWAP or the cone.
How this helps
* Gives a baseline path of where price may drift and a cone that shows normal wiggle room.
* Helps you tell routine noise (inside cone) from information (edges or breaks outside the cone).
* Keeps you aware of short-term bias via the trend slope and F1.
How to use (step by step)
1. Add to chart → choose a Preset (start with Smooth Intraday).
2. Set Horizon around 8–15 bars for intraday.
3. (Optional) Turn on VWAP alignment to color only when price agrees with the trend side of VWAP.
4. Watch where price sits relative to the cone and F1:
* Inside = normal noise.
* At edges = stretched.
* Outside = possible regime change.
5. Check the panel: if RMSE/MAPE spike, expect a wider cone; consider a smoother preset or a higher timeframe.
6. Tweak Alpha/Beta only if needed: faster for momentum, slower for chop.
7. Combine with your own plan for entries, exits, and risk.
Accuracy Panel — what it tells you
Preset & Horizon: Shows which preset you’re using and how many bars ahead the projection goes. Longer horizons mean more uncertainty.
RMSE (error in price units): A “typical miss” measured in the chart’s currency (e.g., ₹).
Lower = tighter fit and a usually narrower cone. Rising = conditions getting noisier; the cone will widen.
MAPE (error in %): The same idea as RMSE but in percent.
Good for comparing different symbols or timeframes. Sudden spikes often hint at a regime change.
Slope T: The model’s short-term trend reading.
Positive = gentle up-bias; negative = gentle down-bias; near zero = mostly flat/drifty.
How to read it at a glance
Calm & directional: RMSE/MAPE steady or falling + Slope T positive (or negative) → trends tend to respect the cone’s mid/upper (or mid/lower) area.
Choppy/uncertain: RMSE/MAPE climbing or jumping → expect more whipsaw; rely more on the cone edges and higher-TF context.
Flat tape: Slope T near zero → mean-revert behavior is common; treat cone edges as stretch zones rather than breakout zones.
Warm-up & tweaks
Warm-up: Right after adding the indicator, the panel may be blank for a short time while it gathers enough bars.
Too twitchy? Switch to Smooth Intraday or increase the Residual Window.
Too slow? Use Scalp/Fast or Momentum/Breakout to react quicker.
Timeframe tips
* 1–3 min: Scalp/Fast or Momentum/Breakout; horizon \~8–12.
* 5–15 min: Smooth Intraday; horizon \~12–15.
* 30–60 min+: Consider a larger residual window for a steadier cone.
FAQ
Q: Is this a strategy or an indicator?
A: It’s an indicator only. It does not place orders, TP/SL, or run backtests.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: The next-bar estimate (F1) and the cone are calculated using only information available at that time. The forward path is a projection drawn on the last bar and will naturally update as new bars arrive. Historical bars aren’t revised with future data.
Q: What is F1?
A: F1 is the indicator’s best guess for the next bar.
Price crossing above/below F1 can hint at short-term momentum shifts or mean-reversion.
Q: What do “Alpha” and “Beta” do?
A: Alpha controls how fast the indicator reacts to new prices
(higher = faster, twitchier). Beta controls how fast the slope updates (higher = quicker pivots, more flips in chop).
Q: Why does the cone width change?
A: It reflects recent forecast accuracy. When the market gets noisy, the cone widens. When the tape is calm, it narrows.
Q: What does the Accuracy Panel tell me?
A:
* Preset & Horizon you’re using.
* RMSE: typical forecast miss in price units.
* MAPE: typical forecast miss in percent.
* Slope T: short-term trend reading (up, down, or flat).
If RMSE/MAPE rise, expect a wider cone and more whipsaw.
Q: The panel shows “…” or looks empty. Why?
A: It needs a short warm-up to gather enough bars. This is normal after you add the indicator or change settings/timeframes.
Q: Which timeframe is best?
A:
* 1–3 min: Scalp/Fast or Momentum/Breakout, horizon \~8–12.
* 5–15 min: Smooth Intraday, horizon \~12–15.
Higher timeframes work too; consider a larger residual window for steadier cones.
Q: Which preset should I start with?
A: Start with Smooth Intraday. If the market is trending hard, try Momentum/Breakout.
For very quick tapes, use Scalp/Fast. Switch back if things get choppy.
Q: What does the VWAP option do?
A: It only changes colors (highlights when price agrees with the trend side of VWAP).
It does not add or remove signals.
Q: Are there alerts?
A: Yes—alerts for price crossing F1 (up/down). Use “Once per bar close” to reduce noise on fast charts.
Q: Can I use this on stocks, futures, crypto, or FX?
A: Yes. It works on any symbol/timeframe. You may want to adjust Horizon and the Residual Window based on volatility.
Q: Can I use it with Heikin Ashi or other non-standard bars?
A: You can, but remember you’re forecasting the synthetic series of those bars. For pure price behavior, use regular candles.
Q: The cone feels too wide/too narrow. What do I change?
A:
* Too wide: lower Alpha/Beta a bit or increase the Residual Window.
* Too narrow (misses moves): raise Alpha/Beta slightly or try Momentum/Breakout.
Q: Why do results change when I switch timeframe or symbol?
A: Different noise levels and trends. The accuracy stats reset per chart, so the cone adapts to each context.
Q: Any limits or gotchas?
A: Extremely large Horizon may hit TradingView’s line-object limits; reduce Horizon or turn
off extra visuals if needed. Big gaps or news spikes will widen errors—expect the cone to react.
Q: Can this predict exact future prices?
A: No. It provides a baseline path and context. Always combine with your own rules and risk management.

Hammer Candle Detector with ATR Wick ConditionThis script detects Hammer candlesticks on any timeframe chart.
Conditions for a valid Hammer:
1. Small body near the top of the candle range (≤30% of total range)
2. Lower shadow at least 2× the body
3. Small or no upper shadow (≤30% of body)
4. Lower wick height must be greater than half of ATR(14)
A triangle marker is plotted below each candle that meets these conditions.
Session AnchorsDescription
This indicator highlights the four main global trading sessions — London, New York AM, New York PM, and Asia — as color-coded boxes on the chart. Each session is defined by fixed start/end times (New York time) and dynamically updates with the evolving high and low during that interval. This provides a clear view of how volatility and structure shift as trading activity passes from one region to another.
How to use
• Works on any timeframe.
• Toggle sessions on/off based on your trading hours.
• Observe price behavior as one session closes and another opens.
• Use session boxes as context for liquidity, volatility, and structure analysis.
Originality
This script delivers a clean, customizable visualization of global market hours and session ranges, avoiding extra overlays so traders can isolate session-based behavior without distraction.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator does not generate signals. It provides a structural mapping of global sessions for contextual analysis only.
MAxRSI Signals [KedArc Quant]Description:
MAxRSI Indicator Marks LONG/SHORT signals from a Moving Average crossover and (optionally) confirms them with RSI. Includes repaint-safe confirmation, optional higher-timeframe (HTF) smoothing, bar coloring, and alert conditions.
Why combine MA + RSI
* The MA crossover is the primary trend signal (fast trend vs slow trend).
* RSI is a gate, not a second, separate signal. A crossover only becomes a trade signal if momentum agrees (e.g., RSI ≥ level for LONG, ≤ level for SHORT). This reduces weak crosses in ranging markets.
* The parts are integrated in one rule: *Crossover AND RSI condition (if enabled)* → plot signal/alert. No duplicated outputs or unrelated indicators.
How it works (logic)
* MA types: SMA / EMA / WMA / HMA (HMA is built via WMA of `len/2` and `len`, then WMA with `sqrt(len)`).
* Signals:
* LONG when *Fast MA crosses above Slow MA* and (if enabled) *RSI ≥ Long Min*.
* SHORT when *Fast MA crosses below Slow MA* and (if enabled) *RSI ≤ Short Max*.
* Repaint-safe (optional): confirms crosses on closed bars to avoid intrabar repaint.
* HTF (optional): computes MA/RSI on a higher timeframe to smooth noise on lower charts.
* Alerts: crossover alerts + state-flip (bull↔bear) alerts.
How to use (step-by-step)
1. Add to chart. Set MA Type, Fast and Slow (keep Fast < Slow).
2. Turn Use RSI Filter ON for confirmation (default: RSI 14 with 50/50 levels).
3. (Optional) Turn Repaint-Safe ON for close-confirmed signals.
4. (Optional) Turn HTF ON (e.g., 60 = 1h) for smoother signals on low TFs.
5. Enable alerts: pick “MAxRSI Long/Short” or “Bullish/Bearish State”.
Timeframe guidance
* Intraday (1–15m): EMA 9–20 fast vs EMA 50 slow, RSI filter at 50/50.
* Swing (1h–D): EMA 20 fast vs EMA 200 slow, RSI 50/50 (55/45 for stricter).
What makes it original
* Repaint-safe cross confirmation (previous-bar check) for reliable signals/alerts.
* HTF gating (doesn’t compute both branches) for speed and clarity.
* Warning-free MA helper (precomputes SMA/EMA/WMA/HMA each bar), HMA built from built-ins only.

Intraday Buy/Sell/Average Zones by Chaitu50cIntraday Buy/Sell/Average Zones by chaitu50c
Timeframe:
Tested on the 5-minute chart.
Recommended timeframe: 5-minute
What it does
This indicator marks intraday Buy (green) and Sell (red) zones made by strong close-confirmed breakouts. These zones act as support/resistance. If price later closes through a zone, the zone changes color from that bar forward (support ↔ resistance). It can flip more than once.
How zones form
Single breakout: an opposite-type candle closes beyond the previous candle’s high/low.
Double breakout: a base candle, then two opposite-type candles, and the second one closes beyond the base high/low.
Zone size
Buy zone: from the combo lowest low up to the nearest open/close of the combo.
Sell zone: from the combo highest high down to the nearest open/close of the combo.
Color shift (optional)
If price closes through a zone, it flips color at that bar and behaves as the other side (support ↔ resistance). Flips can happen again later.
Overlap control
When a new zone overlaps an existing same-color zone in the same session, choose:
Merge (combine), or
Suppress (ignore the new one).
Flipped zones use their current color for this.
Right edge & session
All zones extend to the right (your offset). Detection is limited to your chosen session, and you can show only the last N sessions.

How to trade (simple)
A) Initial breakout trade
When a new zone forms, that breakout itself can be a trade idea in the breakout direction, The stoploss will be the zone.
B) Zone breakout trade (flip)
If price later closes out of a zone and it changes color, that breakout is another trade opportunity in the new direction.
C) Retrace & average trade
When price retests a zone, wait for a confirmation candle in the zone’s favor
— bullish close for a green zone, bearish close for a red zone — then average entries inside/near the zone.
Place stops just beyond the opposite edge of the zone.
If the zone flips color, stop averaging; bias changed.

VWAP Trend Strategy (Intraday) [KedarArc Quant]Description:
An intraday strategy that anchors to VWAP and only trades when a local EMA trend gate and a volume participation gate are both open. It offers two entry templates—Cross and Cross-and-Retest—with an optional Momentum Exception for impulsive moves. Exits combine a TrendBreak (structure flips) with an ATR emergency stop (risk cap).
Updates will be published under this script.
Why this merits a new script
This is not a simple “VWAP + EMA + ATR” overlay. The components are sequenced as gates and branches that *change the trade set* in ways a visual mashup cannot:
1. Trend Gate first (EMA fast vs. slow on the entry timeframe)
Counter-trend VWAP crosses are suppressed. Many VWAP scripts fire on every cross; here, no entry logic even evaluates unless the trend gate is open.
2. Participation Gate second (Volume SMA × multiplier)
This gate filters thin liquidity moves around VWAP. Without it, the same visuals would produce materially more false triggers.
3. Branching entries with structure awareness
* Cross: Immediate VWAP cross in the trend direction.
* Cross-and-Retest: Requires a revisit to VWAP vicinity within a lookback window (recent low near VWAP for longs; recent high for shorts). This explicitly removes first-touch fakeouts that a plain cross takes.
* Momentum Exception (optional): A quantified body% + volume condition can bypass the retest when flow is impulsive—intentional risk-timing, not “just another indicator.”
4. Dual exits that reference both anchor and structure
* TrendBreak: Close only when price loses VWAP and EMA alignment flips.
* ATR stop: Placed at entry to cap tail risk.
These exits complement the entry structure rather than being generic stop/target add-ons.
What it does
* Trades the session’s fair value anchor (VWAP), but only with local-trend agreement (EMA fast vs. slow) and sufficient participation (volume filter).
* Lets you pick Cross or Cross-and-Retest entries; optionally allow a fast Momentum Exception when candles expand with volume.
* Manages positions with a structure exit (TrendBreak) and an emergency ATR stop from entry.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
* VWAP (session anchor):
Standard VWAP of the active session; entries reference the cross and the retest proximity to VWAP.
* Trend gate:
Long context only if `EMA(fast) > EMA(slow)`; short only if `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)`.
A *gate*, not a trigger—entries aren’t considered unless this is true.
* Participation (volume) gate:
Require `volume > SMA(volume, volLen) × volMult`.
Screens out low-participation wiggles around VWAP.
Entries:
* Cross: Price crosses VWAP in the trend direction while volume gate is open.
* Cross-and-Retest: After crossing, price revisits VWAP vicinity within `lookback` (recent *low near VWAP* for longs; recent *high near VWAP* for shorts).
* Momentum Exception (optional): If body% (|close−open| / range) and volume exceed thresholds, enter without waiting for the retest.
Exits:
* TrendBreak (structure):
* Longs close when `price < VWAP` and `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)` (mirror for shorts).
* ATR stop (risk):
* From entry: `stop = entry ± ATR(atrLen) × atrMult`.
How to use it ?
1. Select market & timeframe: Intraday on liquid symbols (equities, futures, crypto).
2. Pick entry mode:
* Start with Cross-and-Retest for fewer, more selective signals.
* Enable Momentum Exception if strong moves leave without retesting.
3. Tune guards:
* Raise `volMult` to ignore thin periods; lower it for more activity.
* Adjust `lookback` if retests come late/early on your symbol.
4. Risk:
* `atrLen` and `atrMult` set the emergency stop distance.
5. Read results per session: Optional panel (if enabled) summarizes Net-R, Win%, and PF for today’s session to evaluate
behavior regime by regime.
