1st FVGOverview
This indicator is specifically designed for intraday price action traders who focus on the NASDAQ opening range. Its primary function is to automatically identify, plot, and alert on the very first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms during the critical 30-minute window of the New York morning session, from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM ET.
The script intelligently ignores any gaps that rely on pre-market data, ensuring that the detected FVG is a true imbalance created by the initial volume and volatility of the regular trading session. This tool helps traders to quickly pinpoint a key area of interest right after the market opens.
Key Features
First FVG Detection: Pinpoints only the initial FVG of the session and ignores all subsequent ones for the day.
Specific Time Window: Operates strictly between 9:30 and 10:00 AM New York time.
Strict Formation Rule: To ensure accuracy, the entire 3-bar FVG pattern must form at or after the 9:30 AM candle. This prevents false signals from pre-market price action.
Visual Price Zones: Automatically draws a clean, colored box around the FVG, making the zone easy to see. The box can be extended to track future price interactions.
Customizable Display: Control how many historical FVGs to show on your chart and how far the zone extends to the right.
Built-in Alerts: Get real-time notifications the moment the first FVG is confirmed, so you never miss a potential setup.
How It Works
The indicator scans the price action candle by candle. Once the 9:30 AM ET session begins, it looks for the first valid 3-bar FVG pattern (also known as a price imbalance).
A Bullish FVG is identified when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods ago.
A Bearish FVG is identified when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods ago.
Once the first FVG for the day is detected and plotted, the script will remain dormant until the next trading day begins, keeping your chart clean and focused.
Settings
Number of FVG History: Controls how many of the most recent daily FVGs are displayed on the chart.
Extend Box To End: A checkbox to extend the FVG zone all the way to the right edge of the chart. This is useful for tracking how price interacts with the zone later in the day.
Manual Box Length: If the "Extend Box" option is unchecked, this input sets a fixed length for the box (in number of bars).
How to Set Up Alerts
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click the 'Alert' icon (alarm clock) in the TradingView toolbar.
In the 'Condition' dropdown menu, select "1st FVG".
A second dropdown will appear, which should be set to "Alert Function Call".
Choose your preferred notification options (e.g., pop-up, email, app notification).

ADR Pivot LevelsThe ADR (Average Daily Range) indicator shows the average range of price movement over a trading day. The ADR is used to estimate volatility and to determine target levels. It helps to set Take-Profit and Stop-Loss orders. It is suitable for intraday trading on lower time frames.
The “ADR Pivot Levels” produces a sequence of horizontal line levels above and below the Center Line (reference level). They are sized based on the instrument's volatility, representing the average historical price movement on a selected higher timeframe using the average daily range (ADR) indicator.
Weekly Standard Deviations (NQ1!/VXN / ES1!/VIX)Weekly Standard Deviations (NQ1!/VXN or ES1!/VIX) – Settlement-Based with Robust Volatility Calculation
This indicator displays weekly standard deviation bands for US index futures (NQ1!, ES1!, MNQ1!, MES1!) using a professional approach:
Weekly Settlement as Basis:
The center line ("Mid") is based on the official weekly settlement price of the selected future (using settlement feeds, not just the last traded price). This ensures high accuracy for institutional and systematic trading.
Volatility by VIX/VXN, Friday 5-Minute Close (CET):
The volatility input (σ) is dynamically derived from the VIX or VXN. Specifically, the indicator uses the last available 5-minute close on Friday after 22:00 CET (Central European Time) each week. If there is no data at exactly 22:10 or 22:05 (e.g. shortened sessions or holidays), it falls back to the latest available 5-minute close of that Friday, ensuring reliable calculation in all market conditions.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The ±1σ, ±2σ, and ±3σ bands are calculated from the weekly settlement price and the robust volatility value. These bands are widely used by professionals for mean reversion, volatility trading, and risk management.
Dynamic Holiday Logic:
Includes dynamic holiday calculation for major US market holidays (can be expanded for other regions). This helps to keep calculations consistent even in holiday weeks.
Labels & Visuals:
Each standard deviation level and the center are labeled for easy orientation. All lines are automatically updated at the start of each new week.
Recommended for:
Advanced traders, systematic/quant traders, and anyone who wants an institutional-grade approach to weekly volatility structure in US index futures.
How to Use:
Add to a chart of NQ1!, MNQ1!, ES1!, or MES1! (futures continuous contracts).
Choose your preferred symbol pair (NQ1!/VXN or ES1!/VIX) in the indicator settings.
All calculations and band updates are fully automatic.

Pair TradingPAIR TRADING
Description:
This indicator is a simple and intuitive tool for rotating between two assets based on their relative price ratio. By comparing the prices of Asset A and Asset B, it plots a “ratio line” (gray) with dynamic upper and lower boundaries (red and blue).
When the ratio reaches the red line, Asset A is expensive → rotate out of A and into B.
When the ratio touches the blue line, Asset A is cheap → rotate back into A.
The chart also shows:
🔹 Background highlights for visual cues
🔹 “Rotate to A” or “Rotate to B” markers for easy decisions
🔹 A live summary table with mean ratio, upper/lower boundaries, and current ratio
How to Use:
Select Asset A and Asset B in the settings.
Adjust the Lookback Period and Threshold if needed.
Watch the gray ratio line as it moves:
Above red line? → Consider rotating into B
Below blue line? → Consider rotating into A
Use the background color changes and rotation labels to spot clear rotation opportunities!
Why Pair Trading?
Pair trading is a powerful way to manage a portfolio because it neutralizes market direction risk and focuses on relative value.
By rotating between correlated assets, you can:
Smooth out returns
Avoid holding a weak asset too long
Capture reversion when assets diverge too far
This approach can enhance risk-adjusted returns and help keep your portfolio balanced and nimble!
How to Pick Pairs:
Choose assets with strong correlation or similar drivers.
Look for common trends (sector, macro).
Start with assets you know best (high-conviction ideas).
Make sure both have good liquidity for reliable trading!
TO HELP FIND CORRELATED ASSETS:
Use the Correlation Coefficient indicator in TradingView:
Click Indicators
Search for “Correlation Coefficient”
Add it to your chart
Input the symbol of the second asset (e.g., if you’re on MSTR, input TSLA).
This plots the rolling correlation coefficient — super helpful!
Pair trading can turn big swings into steady rotations and help you stay active even when the market is choppy. It’s a simple, practical approach to keep your portfolio balanced.

DWMY Opens (for aggr. charts) by Koenigsegg🟣 DWMY Opens (for Aggregated Charts) by Koenigsegg
Revolutionary compatibility with aggregated charts – This indicator represents a significant breakthrough in displaying Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly opening levels on aggregated chart types where traditional DWMY indicators have historically failed to function properly.
Complete aggregated chart support – Unlike previous Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly Opens indicators that experienced severe limitations when pulling data from non-standard chart types, this version is specifically engineered to work flawlessly with aggregated charts, range bars, Renko charts, Point & Figure charts, and all other non-time-based chart constructions.
Persistent horizontal reference lines – The indicator draws four distinct horizontal lines representing the opening prices of the current Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly periods, extending these levels forward into future bars to provide clear reference points for key support and resistance analysis.
Advanced customization capabilities – Features comprehensive user controls including custom label naming for each timeframe, adjustable line colors with independent color selection for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly levels, configurable line width settings, and variable label font sizes ranging from tiny to huge.
Dynamic label positioning system – Implements a sophisticated label placement mechanism with configurable tick offset positioning and fixed end-bars-ahead projection, ensuring labels remain visible and properly positioned regardless of chart zoom level or timeframe.
Intelligent period detection logic – Utilizes advanced Pine Script time change detection algorithms specifically optimized for aggregated charts, accurately identifying new Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly periods even when traditional time-based functions fail on non-standard chart types.
Performance-optimized architecture – Built with efficient persistent variable storage using the var keyword, minimizing computational overhead while maintaining real-time updates across all timeframe levels simultaneously.
Professional visual presentation – Delivers clean, uncluttered chart visualization with strategically positioned labels that clearly identify each timeframe level without interfering with price action analysis.
Universal market compatibility – Functions seamlessly across all asset classes including stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and indices, adapting automatically to different tick sizes and price scales through syminfo.mintick integration.
Pine Script v6 foundation – Leverages the latest Pine Script version 6 capabilities, ensuring optimal performance, stability, and compatibility with current and future TradingView platform updates.
This indicator solves a critical limitation that has long plagued traders using aggregated chart types, finally enabling reliable access to essential Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly opening levels that serve as fundamental support and resistance zones in technical analysis. The breakthrough lies in its ability to maintain accurate period detection and level plotting regardless of the underlying chart construction methodology.
🟣 How It Works
Automatic period detection – The indicator continuously monitors for time changes across four distinct timeframes using ta.change(time()) functions for Daily and Weekly periods, month transitions for Monthly levels, and year changes for Yearly opens, ensuring precise identification of new period beginnings.
Real-time level updates – When a new period is detected, the indicator captures the opening price at that exact moment and immediately establishes a horizontal line from that bar extending forward to a configurable number of bars ahead, creating persistent reference levels.
Dynamic line management – Each timeframe maintains its own dedicated line object and label, with the indicator continuously updating the endpoint coordinates and label positions as new bars form, ensuring the levels always project the specified distance into the future.
Intelligent label placement – Labels are positioned at the end of each line with automatic vertical offset based on the symbol’s minimum tick size, preventing overlap with price action while maintaining clear identification of each timeframe level.
🟣 Pro Tips for Optimal Usage
Multi-timeframe confluence – Look for areas where multiple DWMY levels converge within close proximity, as these zones typically act as stronger support or resistance levels due to increased market participant attention at these psychological price points.
Breakout confirmation strategy – When price breaks above or below a significant DWMY level with strong volume, the broken level often transforms into support (if broken upward) or resistance (if broken downward), providing excellent entry and exit reference points.
Range trading opportunities – On ranging markets, use Daily and Weekly opens as potential reversal zones, especially when price approaches these levels during low-volume periods or near session opens when institutional activity increases.
Timeframe alignment technique – For swing trading, prioritize trades that align with the direction of the break from Weekly or Monthly opens, while using Daily opens for precise entry timing and position management.
Chart type optimization – This indicator excels on Renko, Range, and Point & Figure charts where traditional time-based DWMY indicators fail, making it invaluable for traders who prefer these aggregated chart types for cleaner price action analysis.

Bounce Zone📘 Bounce Zone – Indicator Description
The "Bounce Zone" indicator is a custom tool designed to highlight potential reversal zones on the chart based on volume exhaustion and price structure. It identifies sequences of candles with low volume activity and marks key price levels that could act as "bounce zones", where price is likely to react.
🔍 How It Works
Volume Analysis:
The indicator calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume (default: 20 periods).
It looks for at least 6 consecutive candles (configurable) where the volume is below this volume SMA.
Color Consistency:
The candles must all be of the same color:
Green candles (bullish) for potential downward bounce zones.
Red candles (bearish) for potential upward bounce zones.
Zone Detection:
When a valid sequence is found:
For green candles: it draws a horizontal line at the low of the last red candle before the sequence.
For red candles: it draws a horizontal line at the high of the last green candle before the sequence.
Bounce Tracking:
Each horizontal line remains on the chart until it is touched twice by price (high or low depending on direction).
After two touches, the line is automatically removed, indicating the zone has fulfilled its purpose.
📈 Use Cases
Identify areas of price exhaustion after strong directional pushes.
Spot liquidity zones where institutions might step in.
Combine with candlestick confirmation for reversal trades.
Useful in both trending and range-bound markets for entry or exit signals.
⚙️ Parameters
min_consecutive: Minimum number of consecutive low-volume candles of the same color (default: 6).
vol_ma_len: Length of the volume moving average (default: 20).
🧠 Notes
The indicator does not repaint and is based purely on historical candle and volume structure.
Designed for manual strategy confirmation or support for algorithmic setups.
Oculus Session LevelsOculus Session Levels
The Oculus Session Levels indicator is designed to help traders track key price levels during important market sessions: Pre-Market, Futures, and the New York Open. By marking these levels on your chart, it provides clear reference points for potential price action and breakout opportunities as the market progresses through its various phases.
Key Features:
Pre-Market High & Low: The indicator calculates and displays the highest and lowest prices during the pre-market session (from 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM EST). These levels are important for gauging potential support or resistance when the market opens.
Futures First Hour High & Low: It tracks the first hour of futures trading (from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM EST), marking the high and low levels that can serve as important reference points for the following trading day.
New York Open High & Low: The indicator also tracks the high and low during the first hour of the New York market open (from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM EST), providing critical levels that traders use to identify trends or reversals in the early stages of the trading day.
How to Use:
Pre-Market High & Low:
These levels are calculated before the regular market opens. Price movements near these levels after the market opens may indicate potential breakout or reversal zones.
Futures High & Low:
These levels track the overnight futures session. The price range within this session can provide insight into how the market might behave during regular trading hours.
NY Open High & Low:
The first hour of the New York session is critical for establishing market direction. Prices near these levels can signify the start of a strong trend or possible pullback.
Visual Representation:
Pre-Market High & Low: Plotted in blue.
Futures High & Low: Plotted in orange.
NY Open High & Low: Plotted in green.
These levels are updated daily, providing fresh insights based on the latest market data. The Oculus Session Levels indicator gives traders a simple but powerful tool for understanding market context and planning their trades more effectively.
Oculus Quantum RangeOculus Quantum Range
The Oculus Quantum Range is a sophisticated indicator designed to track dynamic support and resistance levels, based on market volatility and price action. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to define a dynamic range, giving traders powerful breakout and breakdown targets for more informed decision-making.
Key Features:
Dynamic Support & Resistance Levels: The indicator calculates key dynamic levels using the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period (default: 20 bars). These levels adjust according to market volatility, helping to reflect current market conditions.
Breakout & Breakdown Targets: The system calculates breakout and breakdown targets based on the ATR, adding flexibility to the classic support and resistance levels. The targets are plotted above and below the dynamic range.
Volume Confirmation: The breakout and breakdown targets are confirmed when there is a spike in volume, enhancing the reliability of these trade signals.
Pivot Levels: The middle level (pivot) is plotted as the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the range period, offering an additional reference point for traders.
How to Use:
Breakout Entry:
When the price crosses above the Dynamic Top Line (Resistance), a breakout is considered. The breakout target is calculated and plotted above the resistance level.
A confirmed breakout is when the price crosses the resistance with volume higher than the 20-period volume average.
Breakdown Entry:
When the price crosses below the Dynamic Bottom Line (Support), a breakdown is considered. The breakdown target is calculated and plotted below the support level.
A confirmed breakdown is when the price crosses the support with volume higher than the 20-period volume average.
Pivot Zone:
The middle level (pivot) acts as a reference zone, showing potential areas where price action may pause or reverse before continuing toward breakout or breakdown targets.
Alert Conditions:
Breakout Alert: Triggered when the price crosses above the dynamic top line (resistance).
Breakdown Alert: Triggered when the price crosses below the dynamic bottom line (support).
Visualization:
The Dynamic Top Line (Resistance) is plotted in red.
The Middle Level (Pivot) is plotted in blue.
The Dynamic Bottom Line (Support) is plotted in green.
Breakout Targets are plotted in purple above the resistance, and Breakdown Targets are plotted in orange below the support.
Confirmed Breakout/Breakdown are marked with green and red lines respectively, and the background will change to green or red for a visual cue.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to make timely decisions based on price action, volatility, and volume. It’s ideal for identifying potential breakout and breakdown opportunities with clear, dynamic targets.

Volume Point of Control with Fib Based Profile🍀Description:
This indicator is a comprehensive volume profile analysis tool designed to identify key price levels based on trading activity within user-defined timeframes. It plots the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL), along with dynamically calculated Fibonacci levels derived from the developing period's range. It offers extensive customization for both historical and developing levels.
🍀Core Features:
Volume Profiling (POC, VAH, VAL):
Calculates and plots the POC (price level with the highest volume), VAH, and VAL for a selected timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
The Value Area percentage is configurable. 70% is common on normal volume profiles, but this script allows you to configure multiple % levels via the fib levels. I recommend using 2 versions of this indicator on a chart, one has Value Area at 1 (100% - high and low of lookback) and the second is a specified VA area (i.e. 70%) like in the chart snapshot above. See examples at the bottom.
Historical Levels:
Plots POC, VAH, and VAL from previous completed periods.
Optionally displays only "Unbroken" levels – historical levels that price has not yet revisited, which can act as stronger magnets or resistance/support.
The user can manage the number of historical lines displayed to prevent chart clutter.
Developing Levels:
Shows the POC, VAH, and VAL as they form in real-time during the current, incomplete period. This provides insight into intraday/intra-period value migration.
Dynamic Fibonacci Levels:
Calculates and plots Fibonacci retracement/extension levels based dynamically on the range between the developing POC and the developing VAH/VAL.
Offers 8 configurable % levels above and below POC that can be toggled on/off.
Visual Customization:
Extensive options for colors, line styles, and widths for all plotted levels.
Optional gradient fill for the Value Area that visualizes current price distance from POC - option to invert the colors as well.
Labels for developing levels and Fibonacci levels for easy identification.
🍀Characteristics:
Volume-Driven: Levels are derived from actual trading volume, reflecting areas of high participation and price agreement/disagreement.
Timeframe Specific: The results are entirely dependent on the chosen profile timeframe.
Dynamic & Static Elements: Developing levels and Fibs update live, while historical levels remain fixed once their period closes.
Lagging (Historical) & Potentially Leading: Historical levels are based on the past, but are often respected by future price action. Developing levels show current dynamics.
🍀How to Use It:
Identifying Support & Resistance: Historical and developing POCs, VAHs, and VALs are often key areas where price may react. Unbroken levels are particularly noteworthy.
Market Context & Sentiment: Trading above the POC suggests bullish strength/acceptance of higher prices, while trading below suggests bearishness/acceptance of lower prices.
Entry/Exit Zones: Interactions with these levels (rejections, breakouts, tests) can provide potential entry or exit signals, especially when confirming with other analysis methods.
Dynamic Targets: The Fibonacci levels calculated from the developing POC-VA range offer potential intraday/intra-period price targets or areas of interest.
Understanding Value Migration: Observing the movement of the developing POC/VAH/VAL throughout the period reveals where value is currently being established.
🍀Potential Drawbacks:
Input Sensitivity: The choice of timeframe, Value Area percentage, and volume resolution heavily influences the generated levels. Experimentation is needed for optimal settings per instrument/market. (I've found that Range Charts can provide very accurate volume levels on TV since the time element is removed. This helps to refine the accuracy of price levels with high volume.)
Volume Data Dependency: Requires accurate volume data. May be less reliable on instruments with sparse or questionable volume reporting.
Chart Clutter: Enabling all features simultaneously can make the chart busy. Utilize the line management inputs and toggle features as needed.
Not a Standalone Strategy: This indicator provides context and key levels. It should be used alongside other technical analysis tools and price action reading for robust decision-making.
Developing Level Fluctuation: Developing POC/VA/Fib levels can shift considerably, especially early in a new period, before settling down as more volume accumulates and time passes.
🍀Recommendations/Examples:
I recommend have this indicator on your chart twice, one has the VA set at 1 (100%) and has the fib levels plotted. The second has the VA set to 0.7 (70%) to highlight the defined VA.
Here is an example with 3 on a chart. VA of 100%, VA of 80%, and VA of 20%
Session RangeThis Indicator Shows you the high, low and the midpoint for a chosen session and displays them on the chart.
You can make the following inputs:
Timezone: Choose your time zone (in UTC) to display the session correctly
Session Time: Choose the start time and end time of the session you want to have displayed.
Show Session Midpoint: Choose between displaying or not displaying the midpoint of the sessions high and low.
Extend Session Values until next Session: Choose this option if you want to display the sessions range until the next session starts. The midpoint will only be displayed if you chose "yes" at "Show Session Midpoint?"
Maximum number of bars between sessions: This is needed to ensure the correct display of the extended lines. Also this will affect the running speed of the script.
Limitations:
A higher number between bars slows down the script. What does that mean practically? If you choose to not have the sessions values displayed until the next session you can set this to 1 and the script will run as fast as it can. If you choose to display all the values until the next session you have to make sure that the number you put in is higher than the number of bars between the sessions. Otherwise the lines will be displayed backwards. As this affects the calculation speed you want to keep the number as low as possible. The default setting is 300 which is fine for 5 minute charts. On a 1 minute chart you will have to use something around 5000 depending on how long your session is.
Also the script will only run correctly if the start time of your session can be divided by the timeframe you are using. Example: you can use a 1min, 3min, 5min, or 15min chart on all sessions as they can only start every 15 minutes and 15 can be divided by all these numbers. A 2 minute timeframe will only work on sessions that start at minute 00 or 30, as 15 and 45 can not be divided by 2.
Customization and Alerts:
You can change the color of the sessions high, low, midpoint and background filling. The line style can also be changed but this might lead to a faulty display of the session.
The style of the extension lines can not be altered.
Alerts can be added for crossing the sessions high or low (after the session is finished). You do not have to display the extension lines in order to set an alert.

12H Midpoint Lines [Dire]**Overview:**
This indicator is designed to precisely identify and plot key intra-candle levels from 12-hour candles, projecting them onto your current chart. By visualizing the midpoints of the body, top wick, and bottom wick of these 12-hour candles, traders can gain insights into potential areas of support, resistance, or significant price activity from this higher timeframe.
**How It Works & Key Levels:**
For each 12-hour candle, this script calculates and draws up to three distinct horizontal lines:
1. **Body Midpoint:** The exact center of the candle's body `(Open + Close) / 2`.
* *Color Scheme:* Typically green (configurable).
2. **Top Wick Midpoint:** The midpoint of the upper wick, calculated as `(High + Top of Body) / 2`. This line only appears if a top wick exists.
* *Color Scheme:* Typically blue (configurable, shared with Bottom Wick Midpoint).
3. **Bottom Wick Midpoint:** The midpoint of the lower wick, calculated as `(Low + Bottom of Body) / 2`. This line only appears if a bottom wick exists.
* *Color Scheme:* Typically blue (configurable, shared with Top Wick Midpoint).
**Features:**
* **Comprehensive Midpoint Analysis:** Get a detailed view with three distinct levels per 12H candle.
* **Customizable Appearance:**
* **Colors:** Individually set colors for "Naked" (untouched) and "Touched" lines for Body midpoints and Wick (Top/Bottom) midpoints.
* **Line Thickness:** Adjust the visual weight of all lines.
* **Line Style:** Choose between "Solid," "Dashed," or "Dotted" line styles.
* **Dynamic Line Behavior:**
* **Naked Line Extension (Optional):** Untouched lines can be configured to extend indefinitely to the right, helping you anticipate future interactions.
* **Touched Line Termination:** Once a price level is touched by a subsequent candle, the line automatically stops at the point of intersection, clearly marking this event. If not extended, naked lines will draw to the current bar.
* **Optional Price Labels:**
* Display the precise price level of each line as a text label at its current endpoint.
* Customize label text color and size. (Note: Enabling labels for many lines may impact chart performance).
* **Higher Timeframe Insights:** Seamlessly overlay these significant 12-hour levels onto any active chart timeframe.
* **Historical Data & Performance:** The indicator plots lines for historical 12-hour candles and includes a mechanism to limit the maximum number of displayed lines to maintain optimal chart performance.
**How to Use:**
1. Add the "12H Midpoint Lines V4" indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Access the indicator's settings (⚙️ icon) to customize colors, line appearance, label visibility, and the naked line extension feature.
3. Observe how price interacts with these dynamically drawn 12-hour midpoint levels, which can act as valuable reference points.
**Development Status:**
Please note that this indicator is a **work in progress.** I am continuously looking to refine its features and functionality. Your feedback and suggestions are highly welcome and can help improve future versions!
