The Slick Strategy ReadinessThe Slick Strategy Readiness
Purpose
This is a readiness checklist, not an auto-trader. It supports the method from “The Slick Strategy: A Unique Profitable Options Trading Method.” The idea: each Monday, if conditions are READY, sell a 10-point wide SPX put credit spread with the short strike ~30 points below Monday’s open and hold to Friday’s close.
How the decision works
• Timing mode (choose one):
– Strict: Monday OPEN vs Friday SMAs (non-repainting on daily)
– Mid: Monday OPEN vs Monday SMAs (uses same day; repaints on daily)
• Core rules (always applied):
1) Price ≥ 200-SMA
2) 10-SMA ≥ 20-SMA
3) Core pause: if price is below both 10 & 20 while still above 200 → PAUSE
• Optional context pauses (only if “Apply context pauses” = ON):
– September: Price > 200 and (10 or 20 above price) → PAUSE
– Short week: Price > 200 and Price > 20 and (10 above price) → PAUSE
– Short week + Mon/Fri holiday + late-week major event and price above both 10 & 20 → PAUSE
If “Apply context pauses” is OFF, context rows are informational only and do not change the decision.
What you see on the chart
• Background tint: green = READY, red = PAUSED (by default, only on Mondays).
• Status bubble (last bar): shows “GOOD TO GO” or “PAUSED” on Mondays.
• PCS weekly reference line (strike helper):
– Level = Monday open − offset (default 30 pts; adjustable; optional rounding).
– Current week: orange = GOOD TO GO, gray = PAUSED; appears at start of Monday’s bar and extends through the week.
– Past weeks: green = win (Friday close ≥ that week’s level), red = loss, purple = skipped by core rules.
• SMA plots: optional 10/20/200 with fill between 10 & 20.
Readiness table (top-right by default)
Two columns: Check / Now (✓ or ✗). Rows: Price ≥ 200-SMA; 10-SMA ≥ 20-SMA; Price ≥ 10-SMA; Price ≥ 20-SMA; any enabled context rows; Core READY; Core PAUSE (price < 10 & 20 while >200); Final decision; optional Weekly PCS level.
Inputs (what to tweak)
• Source, SMA 10/20/200 lengths
• Plot SMAs, Fill between 10 & 20
• Only evaluate/tint on Mondays (on by default)
• Decision timing (Strict or Mid)
• Apply context pauses (and individual context flags)
• Table position/size/padding/border
• PCS helper: show current week’s line, show previous weeks’ lines, offset (pts), rounding increment & method, start only on Mondays, show Weekly PCS level in table
How to use (quick steps)
1) Add to SPX on Daily.
2) Pick timing: Strict (no repaint) or Mid (uses Monday SMAs).
3) Optionally enable Apply context pauses and relevant context flags.
4) On Monday’s open:
– If bubble says GOOD TO GO, consider selling a 10-wide SPX PCS with short strike ~30 pts below Monday’s open (adjust offset/rounding as desired).
– If PAUSED, skip this week.
5) Hold to Friday’s close; past weeks color green/red by result; purple indicates skipped.
Notes
This indicator does not place orders. Results depend on fills, fees, slippage, and risk management. Options trading involves risk; trade responsibly.

AR-Session-Orb-HTF H&L V2AR-Session-Orb-HTF H&L V2
This indicator is designed for intraday traders who use session-based liquidity, opening range logic, and higher-timeframe levels for bias and execution.
It automatically:
• draws Asia / London / New York sessions
• marks the first X minutes of each session (opening range)
• projects that range across the session (or across the entire day for Asia)
• shows previous week, previous month, current month, previous 4H, and current 4H highs/lows directly on lower timeframes with labels
It’s built for ICT-style execution, liquidity raids, and dealing range concepts.
________________________________________
🔸 Session Boxes
The script highlights the 3 main FX/Index sessions:
• Asia Session
• London Session
• New York Session
Each session is drawn as a translucent box on the chart with its own color. Session start/stop times are user-configurable (HHMM-HHMM input format).
You can individually enable/disable:
• Asia box
• London box
• New York box
These boxes help visualize when liquidity is usually accumulated / distributed.
________________________________________
🔸 Opening Range (OR)
For each session, the script measures the high/low of the first N minutes (default 15 minutes).
This is commonly traded as the “opening range.”
Behavior per session:
• Asia OR:
The high and low of the first X minutes of Asia are captured, then those levels are projected across the entire rest of the trading day.
(This gives you a day-long reference band for Asia liquidity / range expansion.)
• London OR & New York OR:
The script captures the first X minutes of London and NY, then draws horizontal lines from that moment forward, but only during that active session.
When the session ends, the lines stop. They do NOT extend infinitely.
You can:
• choose how many minutes define the OR (1–30 min)
• toggle visibility per session
• set the color per session
This helps you identify when price is running / rejecting the opening range high/low.
________________________________________
🔸 Daily High / Low Logic (internal use)
The script internally tracks the developing current day high and low and remembers where the day started.
This is used to anchor the Asia opening range levels across the full day (so they stay inside today, not extended off into space).
You don’t have to manage this — it’s automatic and resets each new trading day.
________________________________________
🔸 Weekly Liquidity (Previous Week High/Low)
The indicator plots:
• Previous Week High
• Previous Week Low
These are pulled from the higher timeframe (1W) and displayed on the current chart (even on 1m).
They’re drawn as dashed horizontal lines inside the visible chart area instead of being extended forever.
Each line is labeled with custom text input:
• Example defaults: PW High, PW Low
You can rename these in settings and change label color / background color.
This gives you prior-week liquidity targets even when you’re down on scalping timeframes.
(Optional future extension: current week high/low can also be added if you want developing weekly liquidity. Not currently shown by default.)
________________________________________
🔸 Monthly Liquidity
The script plots both:
• Previous Month High / Low
• Current Month High / Low (live)
Previous month levels are drawn with one style (default dashed + one color).
Current month levels are drawn with another (default solid + different color).
All four lines are labeled.
Labels are fully customizable:
• Text you want to display
• Label background color
• Label text color
• Label size
• Label opacity
This gives you HTF liquidity magnets on any timeframe down to 1m.
________________________________________
🔸 4H Liquidity Map (Intraday Bias Tool)
This part is meant for scalpers.
On any timeframe ≤ 4H, the script plots:
• Previous 4H High / Previous 4H Low
• Current 4H High / Current 4H Low
Important detail:
• These levels are ONLY drawn across their own 4-hour window.
• Previous 4H levels are drawn across the exact time span of the previous 4H candle.
• Current 4H levels are drawn across the current 4H candle as it forms.
• They do NOT extend across the whole day, so you can read structure candle-by-candle.
Visually:
• Previous 4H levels use one color/style (default dashed).
• Current 4H levels use another (default solid).
• Each has a label, e.g. P4H High, C4H Low, etc.
• You can rename the labels and recolor them in settings.
This helps you immediately see which 4H range you’re trading inside, where the internal liquidity sits, and whether price is working a raid of the previous 4H high/low.
________________________________________
🔸 Customization / Inputs
The script exposes inputs for:
• Session times (Asia / London / NY)
• Whether to show each session box
• Colors for each session box (border + fill)
• Opening Range length (minutes)
• Whether to show Asia/London/NY OR lines
• OR line color per session
• Line span length in bars (for higher timeframe levels, so they stay “near” current price instead of stretching off-screen)
• Label text for each level group:
o Prev Week
o Prev Month / Current Month
o Prev 4H / Current 4H
• Label style: size, text color, background color, background opacity
No hard-coded text. No forced color scheme. You can brand it for your own workflow.
________________________________________
How to Use It
1. Bias:
Use monthly / weekly levels to understand where the larger liquidity pools sit. Are we hunting last month’s high? Sitting above last week’s low?
2. Intra-session context:
Use session boxes + opening range to see when expansion is happening and whether price is accumulating (consolidation) or delivering (impulsive move) in that session.
3. Execution / scalps:
Use 4H (prev/current) highs and lows as liquidity reference points for stops / targets.
Common idea: wait for a raid of the previous 4H high during London or NY, at or above the OR high, then look for reversal orderflow.
4. Do not blindly long/short a level.
Levels are context. Your trade model / confirmation is still on you.
________________________________________
Notes / Limitations
• This tool is for visual reference only.
It does not generate buy/sell signals, alerts, or risk management for you.
• Session time inputs assume exchange time / chart time. Make sure your chart is set to the session timezone you expect.
• Because TradingView limits drawings, if you scroll extremely far back in time on very low timeframes, some older objects may recycle. This is normal.

VWAP Composites📊 VWAP Composite - Advanced Multi-Period Volume Weighted Average Price Indicator
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OVERVIEW
VWAP Composite is an advanced volume-weighted average price (VWAP) indicator that goes beyond traditional single-period VWAP calculations by offering composite multi-period analysis and unprecedented customization. This indicator solves a common problem traders face: traditional VWAP resets at arbitrary intervals (session start, day, week), but significant price action and volume accumulation often spans multiple periods. VWAP Composite allows you to anchor VWAP calculations to any timeframe—or combine multiple periods into a single composite VWAP—giving you a true representation of average price weighted by volume across the exact periods that matter to your analysis.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS - CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
📌 CORE VWAP CALCULATION
The indicator calculates VWAP using the standard volume-weighted formula:
• Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
• VWAP = Σ(Typical Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
This calculation is performed across user-defined time periods, ensuring each bar's contribution to the average is proportional to its trading volume.
📌 STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
The indicator calculates volume-weighted standard deviation to measure price dispersion around the VWAP:
• Variance = Σ / Σ(Volume)
• Standard Deviation = √Variance
• Upper Band = VWAP + (StdDev × Multiplier)
• Lower Band = VWAP - (StdDev × Multiplier)
These bands help identify overbought/oversold conditions relative to the volume-weighted mean, with high-volume price excursions having greater impact on band width than low-volume moves.
📌 COMPOSITE PERIOD METHODOLOGY (Auto Mode)
Unlike traditional VWAP that resets at fixed intervals, Auto Mode creates composite VWAPs by combining the current period with N previous periods:
• Period Span = 1: Current period only (standard VWAP behavior)
• Period Span = 2: Current period + 1 previous period combined
• Period Span = 3: Current period + 2 previous periods combined
• And so on...
Example: A 3-period Weekly composite VWAP calculates from the start of 2 weeks ago through the current week's end, creating a single VWAP that represents 21 days of continuous price and volume data. This provides context about where price stands relative to the volume-weighted average over multiple weeks, not just the current week.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
✅ DUAL OPERATING MODES
1️⃣ MANUAL MODE (5 Independent VWAPs)
Define up to 5 separate VWAP calculations with custom start/end times:
• Perfect for anchoring VWAP to specific events (earnings, Fed announcements, major reversals)
• Each VWAP has independent color settings for lines and deviation band backgrounds
• Individual control over calculation extension and visual extension (explained below)
• Useful for tracking multiple institutional accumulation/distribution zones simultaneously
2️⃣ AUTO MODE (Composite Period VWAP)
Automatically calculates VWAP across combined time periods:
• Supported periods: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
• Configurable period span (1-20 periods)
• Always up-to-date, recalculates on each new bar
• Ideal for systematic analysis across consistent timeframes
✅ DUAL EXTENSION SYSTEM (Manual Mode Innovation)
Most VWAP indicators only offer "on/off" for extending calculations. This indicator provides two distinct extension options:
🔹 EXTEND CALCULATION TO CURRENT BAR
When enabled, continues including new bars in the VWAP calculation after the defined end time. The VWAP value updates dynamically as new volume enters the market.
Use case: You anchored VWAP to a major low 3 weeks ago. You want the VWAP to continue evolving with new volume data to track ongoing institutional positioning.
🔹 EXTEND VISUAL LINE ONLY
When enabled (and calculation extension is disabled), projects the "frozen" VWAP value forward as a reference line. The VWAP value remains fixed at what it was at the end time, but the line and deviation bands visually extend to current price.
Use case: You want to see how price is behaving relative to the VWAP that existed at a specific point in time (e.g., "Where is price now vs. the 5-day VWAP that existed at last Friday's close?").
This dual system gives you unprecedented control over whether you're tracking a "living" VWAP that incorporates new data or using historical VWAP levels as static reference points.
✅ CUSTOMIZABLE STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
• Adjustable multiplier (0.1 to 5.0)
• Independent background colors with opacity control for each VWAP
• Dashed band lines for easy visual distinction from main VWAP
• Bands extend when visual extension is enabled, maintaining zone visibility
✅ COMPREHENSIVE LABELING SYSTEM
Each VWAP displays:
• Current VWAP value
• Upper deviation band value (High)
• Lower deviation band value (Low)
• Extension status indicator (Calc Extended / Visual Extended)
• Color-coded for quick identification
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
🎯 SCENARIO 1: EVENT-ANCHORED VWAP (Manual Mode)
Use case: A stock gaps down 15% on earnings and you want to track where institutions are positioning during the recovery.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. Enable VWAP 1
3. Set Start Time to the earnings gap bar
4. Set End Time to current time (or leave far in future)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation to Current Bar"
6. Watch how price respects the VWAP as a dynamic support/resistance
Interpretation:
• Price above VWAP = buyers in control since the event
• Price testing VWAP from above = potential support
• Volume-weighted standard deviation bands show normal price range
• Price outside bands = potential exhaustion/mean reversion setup
🎯 SCENARIO 2: MULTI-WEEK INSTITUTIONAL ACCUMULATION ZONE (Auto Mode)
Use case: You trade swing setups and want to identify where institutions have been accumulating over the past 3 weeks.
Setup:
1. Switch to Auto Mode
2. Select "Weekly" period type
3. Set Period Span to 3
4. Enable standard deviation bands
Interpretation:
• 3-week composite VWAP shows the true average institutional entry
• Price bouncing off VWAP repeatedly = strong support (institutions defending their average)
• Price breaking below VWAP on high volume = potential distribution
• Deviation bands contracting = consolidation; expanding = volatility increase
🎯 SCENARIO 3: COMPARING MULTIPLE TIME HORIZONS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see short-term vs medium-term vs long-term VWAP alignments.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Last 5 trading days (blue)
3. VWAP 2: Last 10 trading days (orange)
4. VWAP 3: Last 20 trading days (purple)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation" for all
6. Set different background colors for visual separation
Interpretation:
• All VWAPs aligned upward = strong trend across all timeframes
• Price between VWAPs = finding equilibrium between different trader timeframes
• Short-term VWAP crossing long-term VWAP = momentum shift
• Price rejecting at higher-timeframe VWAP = that timeframe's traders defending their average
🎯 SCENARIO 4: HISTORICAL VWAP REFERENCE LEVELS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see where the 1-month VWAP was at each month-end as static reference levels.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Set to last month's start/end dates
3. VWAP 2: Set to 2 months ago start/end dates
4. VWAP 3: Set to 3 months ago start/end dates
5. Disable "Extend Calculation"
6. Enable "Extend Visual Line Only"
Interpretation:
• Each VWAP represents the volume-weighted average for that complete month
• These become static support/resistance levels
• Price returning to old monthly VWAPs = institutional memory/gap fill behavior
• Useful for identifying longer-term value areas
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

✓ Support/Resistance: VWAP often acts as dynamic S/R, especially on higher volume periods
✓ Institutional Positioning: Multi-day/week VWAPs show where large players have established positions
✓ Entry Timing: Wait for pullbacks to VWAP in trending markets
✓ Stop Placement: Use VWAP ± standard deviation as volatility-adjusted stop levels
✓ Breakout Confirmation: Breakouts from consolidation with price reclaiming VWAP = stronger signal
✓ Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Compare short vs long-period VWAPs to gauge momentum alignment
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
• The indicator redraws on each bar to maintain accurate visual representation (uses `barstate.islast`)
• Maximum lookback is limited to 5000 bars for performance optimization
• Time range calculations work across all timeframes but are most effective on intraday to daily charts
• Standard deviation bands assume volume-weighted distribution; extreme events may violate assumptions
• Auto mode always calculates to current bar; use Manual mode for fixed historical periods

Choppiness Index | CipherDecodedThe Choppiness Index is a multi-timeframe regime indicator that measures whether price action is trending or consolidating.
This recreation was inspired by the Choppiness Index chart from Checkonchain, with full credit to their team for the idea.
🔹 How It Works
CI = 100 * log10( SUM(ATR(1), n) / (highest(high, n) – lowest(low, n)) ) / log10(n)
Where:
n – lookback length (e.g. 14 days / 10 weeks / 10 months)
ATR(1) – true-range of each bar
SUM(ATR(1), n) – total true-range over n bars
highest(high, n) and lowest(low, n) – price range over n bars
Low values → strong trend
High values → sideways consolidation
Below is a simplified function used in the script for computing CI on any timeframe:
f_ci(_n) =>
_tr = ta.tr(true)
_sum = math.sum(_tr, _n)
_hh = ta.highest(high, _n)
_ll = ta.lowest(low, _n)
_rng = _hh - _ll
_rng > 0 ? 100 * math.log10(_sum / _rng) / math.log10(_n) : na
Consolidation Threshold — 50.0
Trend Threshold — 38.2
When Weekly CI < Trend Threshold, a trending zone (yellow) appears.
When Weekly CI > Consolidation Threshold, a consolidation zone (purple) appears.
Users can toggle either background independently.
🔹 Example Background Logic
bgcolor(isTrend and Trend ? color.new(#f3e459, 50) : na, title = "Trending", force_overlay = true)
bgcolor(isConsol and Cons ? color.new(#974aa5, 50) : na, title = "Consolidation", force_overlay = true)
🔹 Usage Tips
Observe the Weekly CI for regime context.
Combine with price structure or trend filters for signal confirmation.
Low CI values (< 38) indicate strong trend activity — the market may soon consolidate to reset.
High CI values (> 60) reflect sideways or range-bound conditions — the market is recharging before a potential new trend.

Syndicate Bias Universal (Auto)Syndicate Bias Universal (Auto): A Masterclass in Time-Based Trading
Chapter 1: The Modern Trader's Dilemma—A New Framework for a Noisy Market
In today's hyper-connected financial markets, the modern trader is faced with a profound paradox: we have access to more information than ever before, yet achieving consistent clarity has never been more challenging. We are inundated with a relentless stream of price data, countless indicators, breaking news, and expert opinions. This information overload often leads not to better decision-making, but to analysis paralysis, emotional trading, and a chronic sense of being one step behind the market's true intentions.
The fundamental problem that Syndicate Bias Universal (Auto) addresses is this struggle for clarity amidst the noise. It challenges the conventional approach of relying solely on price- and volume-based indicators, which are inherently lagging and often produce conflicting signals. Instead, it introduces a crucial, and often overlooked, third dimension to technical analysis: time.
This indicator is not merely another tool to be added to a cluttered chart; it is a comprehensive, systematic framework designed to reinterpret market dynamics through the structured lens of trading sessions. Its core function is to deconstruct any trading period—from an entire week down to the smallest intraday segments—into a clear, four-part narrative structure, which we call "Quarters."
Many traders can correctly identify a market's general direction but consistently struggle with the critical question of when to act. This timing issue leads to the most common trading errors: entering positions too early only to be stopped out by volatility, entering too late and catching the tail-end of a move, or being whipsawed by directionless chop. This script provides a logical, rules-based solution by identifying a specific, high-probability time window within each session where reversal setups are most likely to occur. It is built for the discerning trader who is ready to evolve—to move beyond reactive, emotionally-driven decisions and adopt a structured, patient, and objective methodology for market engagement. It is, in essence, an operating system for disciplined trading.
Chapter 2: The Core Philosophy—Viewing the Market as a Four-Quarter Game
At its heart, this indicator operates on a powerful principle: market sessions, regardless of their duration, exhibit a discernible rhythm and structure, much like a four-quarter game of football, a four-act theatrical play, or the four seasons of a year. Price action is not a chaotic, random walk. It is a story unfolding, driven by the collective psychology of millions of participants. This story often follows a recurring pattern of opening, exploration, climax, and resolution.
By dividing trading sessions into four distinct quarters, we can better contextualize this narrative. This temporal structure acts as a powerful filter, cutting through the incessant noise of minor price fluctuations and focusing the trader's attention on the moments that truly matter.
Quarter 1 (The Opening Act): This is the period of price discovery. The market is absorbing overnight news, and early participants are establishing their initial positions. The character of this quarter—whether it is quiet and rotational or strong and directional—provides crucial clues about the session's potential.
Quarter 2 (The Exploration): Following the initial open, the market begins to test the levels established in Q1. This is often a period of consolidation or early trend development, where weaker hands are shaken out.
Quarter 3 (The Climax): Often, this is where the session's primary, decisive move occurs. It can be a powerful trend continuation or, critically, a major reversal point where the initial momentum shows signs of exhaustion.
Quarter 4 (The Resolution): This is the closing period, characterized by profit-taking, late-day position adjustments, and a general decrease in volume as the session winds down.
This is not a "black box" system promising guaranteed results. It is a transparent methodology built on a clear, logical foundation of session analysis. Its purpose is to empower you with a deeper understanding of market behavior, transforming you from a mere participant, tossed about by the market's waves, into a patient observer who waits for specific, high-probability conditions to align before acting. Embracing this philosophy is the first and most crucial step to unlocking the tool's full potential.
Chapter 3: The Engine—Key Features & In-Depth Principles
This section dissects the sophisticated mechanics that power the indicator. Each feature is designed to work in concert, creating a robust and adaptive analytical engine.
Feature 1: Universal Market Adaptability—A Global, Intelligent Tool
A significant weakness of many trading tools is their inherent rigidity. An indicator fine-tuned for the unique volatility profile and session times of the New York open will invariably underperform or provide false signals when applied to the different rhythms of the Indian or Asian markets. Syndicate Bias Universal eradicates this problem with a sophisticated, dual-mode adaptability engine.
Intelligent Auto-Detection: This is the default and recommended setting for most traders. When the "Market Type" input is set to "Auto," the script becomes a dynamic, context-aware tool. It intelligently queries the exchange information (syminfo.prefix) of the instrument you are currently viewing. It automatically recognizes major Indian exchanges (NSE, BSE, MCX) and all other global exchanges. Based on this identification, it seamlessly applies the correct session timing logic—using "Asia/Kolkata" for Indian instruments and "America/New_York" for global instruments (Forex, Commodities, US Equities, etc.).
This allows traders with a diverse watchlist to move effortlessly from analyzing the NIFTY 50 to EUR/USD to Crude Oil, confident that the underlying temporal analysis remains precise, relevant, and correctly calibrated to the dominant trading hours of each asset. There is no need for manual adjustment or multiple chart templates; the indicator handles the complex work of timezone alignment for you.
Focused Manual Override: For the advanced trader, the manual override provides an indispensable layer of analytical control. There are specific scenarios where locking the indicator to a particular time zone, regardless of the asset being viewed, is crucial.
Cross-Market Influence Analysis: A European trader analyzing the DAX index might want to lock the indicator to "Global" (New York) time during the afternoon to see how the US open influences the German market's behavior in its final hours.
Commodity and Forex Trading: A trader in Asia specializing in WTI Crude Oil or Gold knows that these markets are heavily dominated by the New York session. By locking the indicator to "Global," they can apply the correct temporal structure to their analysis, even if their local time is different.
Consistent Strategy Application: A trader who has developed a strategy based purely on the London/New York session overlap can lock the indicator to "Global" and apply this single, consistent framework across any and all instruments they trade.
This dual-mode system ensures that the indicator is both effortlessly simple for those who need it to be and powerfully flexible for those who require granular control.
Feature 2: Fractal Quarter-Based Analysis—Structure at Every Scale
The term "fractal" in market analysis refers to the principle that the same patterns of collective human behavior—driven by greed, fear, hope, and indecision—manifest repeatedly across all timeframes. A pattern that takes months to unfold on a weekly chart can play out in a matter of minutes on a one-minute chart. The Syndicate Bias Universal indicator is built on this very principle, applying its Four-Quarter structure consistently from the highest macro view down to the lowest micro view.
This provides a unified, coherent framework for analysis, regardless of your trading style.
The Weekly Quarter (The Position Trader's View): At this macro level, the trading week is divided into four primary segments (e.g., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). This perspective is invaluable for position traders and long-term investors. It helps answer critical strategic questions: Is the week's opening action on Monday establishing a trend that will likely hold, or is it creating the conditions for a mid-week reversal? The weekly quarters help contextualize the larger battle between long-term buyers and sellers.
The Daily Quarter (The Swing Trader's View): Here, the full 24-hour global trading day is partitioned into four 6-hour quarters. This is the ideal lens for swing traders and day traders who aim to capture the dominant move of the day or a multi-day swing. It helps them avoid the morning "chop" by understanding the initial price discovery phase and position themselves for the more decisive moves that often occur in the later quarters of the global session.
Intraday Quarters: 90min, Micro, and Nano (The Day Trader's & Scalper's View): For traders operating on the front lines of intraday price action, the script drills down with surgical precision. It breaks down shorter sessions into their own complete four-quarter cycles. This granular view is essential for timing precise entries, managing trades with tight stop-losses, and understanding the micro-rhythms of order flow. It helps scalpers identify high-probability windows to trade, while allowing them to step back and avoid periods of low liquidity or erratic price action.
To keep you anchored, the script automatically selects and displays the relevant analysis timeframe ("Auto TF") in a non-intrusive display on your chart. This seemingly simple feature is a crucial navigational tool, constantly reminding you of the specific temporal context the engine is currently analyzing, ensuring your decisions are always aligned with the appropriate structural scale.
Feature 3: The "S-Quarter" Timing Window—The Art of Strategic Patience
This is the intellectual core of the indicator and its most powerful feature. It is the mechanism that transforms trading from a constant, stressful hunt for opportunities into a calm, disciplined, and strategic wait. The S-Quarter (Search Quarter) engine enforces patience by activating its search for trade setups only within a specific, algorithmically determined time window.
The Q1 Volatility Profile Analysis: The process begins at the start of a new session. The indicator's logic performs a sophisticated analysis of the price action within the first quarter (Q1). It looks beyond simple direction and evaluates its character. This involves assessing the nature of the opening period's volatility. Is the range expanding or contracting? Is the price action rotational and indecisive, or is it directional and backed by momentum? A quiet, low-volatility Q1 suggests a different market psychology and implies a very different probabilistic path for the rest of the session compared to a strong, high-volume, trend-setting Q1.
Dynamic and Adaptive Window Selection: Based on this nuanced Q1 profile, the script makes a critical, forward-looking determination: which of the subsequent quarters (Q2, Q3, or Q4) is most likely to host a significant market turning point, a liquidity grab, or an exhaustion event. This designated period is the "S-Quarter." The selection is dynamic and adaptive:
If Q1 was a powerful, trending move, the engine might identify Q3 as the S-Quarter, anticipating that the initial momentum will wane, drawing in late trend-followers just in time for a sharp reversal.
If Q1 was a tight, rotational range, the engine might identify Q2 as the S-Quarter, anticipating that the first breakout attempt from this range will likely be a "head fake" designed to trap traders before the real move begins in the opposite direction.
This intelligent selection is what sets the tool apart. It doesn't use a fixed, one-size-fits-all timing window. It adapts its search to the unique, unfolding conditions of each individual trading session. The S-Quarter is the only time the script will actively look for and display trade setups. This powerful filter is the key to mastering trading psychology. It prevents impulsive entries, eliminates the fear of missing out (FOMO), dramatically reduces exposure to choppy and unpredictable market periods, and aligns your actions with the moments of highest probabilistic edge.
Feature 4: Contrarian Reversal Setups—Identifying Market Exhaustion
The setups generated by this indicator are contrarian by design. They are not trend-following signals. They are based on the principle of identifying moments where a prevailing short-term move is reaching a point of exhaustion, often culminating in a "liquidity grab."
The Mechanics of a Liquidity Grab: Within the pre-defined S-Quarter, the script vigilantly monitors short-term market structure, specifically the pivot highs and pivot lows. A break of a recent, significant pivot is a critical event. The script's logic posits that during the S-Quarter, these breakouts are often not the beginning of a sustained new trend. Instead, they are frequently a calculated move by institutional players to "run the stops"—a stop hunt designed to trigger the stop-loss orders of retail traders who are positioned on the wrong side of the market. This action injects a surge of liquidity into the market, which is precisely what larger players need to fill their large orders in the opposite direction.
Bullish Reversal Setup (Fading the Low): This setup is triggered by a break below a recent structural low during the S-Quarter. This event signals that the sellers who pushed the price to a new low may have exhausted their power in the process of running the stops. The trap has been set, and this alert serves as a potential turning point where buyers are likely to step in with force.
Bearish Reversal Setup (Fading the High): This setup is triggered by a break above a recent structural high during the S-Quarter. This suggests that the final, euphoric wave of buying pressure may be culminating in a liquidity grab. The last of the breakout buyers have been drawn in at the worst possible price, presenting an opportunity for informed sellers to take control and initiate a move downwards.
It is absolutely essential to understand that these are high-probability setups, not automated entry signals. They are sophisticated alerts that tell you, "The conditions are now ripe for a potential reversal within our strategic time window." The final decision to execute a trade, and the management of that trade, always rests with you, the trader.
Chapter 4: The Workflow—A Step-by-Step Guide to Practical Application
This section provides a clear, actionable workflow for integrating the Syndicate Bias Universal indicator into your daily trading routine.
Step 1: Initial Configuration (The Pre-Flight Check). Begin by setting the "Market Type." For maximum efficiency across a varied watchlist, leave it on "Auto." If you are a specialist who focuses on one specific market session, manually select "Global" or "Indian" to lock in your preferred analytical framework. Ensure other visual settings, like "Show Active Quarter Boxes," are enabled.
Step 2: Contextualize the Session (Reading the Field). At the start of your trading day, observe the quarter boxes as they begin to form. Pay attention to the story they tell. Is the Q1 box narrow and tight, suggesting indecision? Is it wide and directional, suggesting a strong opening sentiment? This visual context helps you build an intuitive feel for the session's rhythm long before any signal appears.
Step 3: Exercise Strategic Patience (The Professional's Edge). This is the most critical and often the most difficult step. The script will automatically perform its Q1 analysis and silently determine the S-Quarter. Your job is to wait. Resist the urge to trade during the other quarters. This disciplined inaction is not passive; it is an active strategy. It conserves your mental and financial capital for the moments that count the most.
Step 4: The Alert (The Call to Action). When a label—"Look for Bullish/Bearish reversal"—appears on your chart, it is your cue to shift from a passive, observational state to an active, analytical one. This is the moment you have been waiting for. Do not instantly click "buy" or "sell." The alert is a call to focus your attention, not a command to act blindly.
Step 5: The Confirmation Process (Your Personal Edge). The setup is the start, not the end, of your trade analysis. This is where you apply your own skills to confirm the validity of the setup. For example, upon seeing a Bullish Reversal Setup:
Candlestick Analysis: Look for confirmation candles like a powerful bullish engulfing bar, a hammer, or a dragonfly doji forming right after the new low was made.
Volume Analysis: Check if the move to the new low was on high, climactic volume that suddenly dried up, followed by an increase in volume as the price starts to reverse.
Indicator Confluence: Look for bullish divergence on an oscillator like the RSI or MACD, where price makes a new low but the indicator makes a higher low.
This confirmation process is what integrates the indicator into your unique trading style, making it exponentially more powerful.
Step 6: Execute and Manage Risk (The Business of Trading). Once you have your confirmation, execute your trade according to your plan. Risk management is paramount. A logical stop-loss for a Bullish Reversal Setup would typically be placed just below the low of the liquidity grab candle. Your take-profit targets should be based on your analysis of key resistance levels. Always ensure the potential reward of the trade justifies the initial risk. A setup is a probabilistic edge, not a certainty.
Chapter 5: The Trader's Mind—Mastering the Psychology of Time
Integrating this tool effectively is as much about mastering psychology as it is about technical analysis. Its very design encourages the development of a professional trading mindset.
From Impulsive to Patient: The S-Quarter forces you to wait for the market to come to you, curing the impulsive need to be "in a trade" at all times.
From Reactive to Proactive: You are no longer reacting to every price tick. You have a proactive plan: you know which time window you are interested in and what condition you are waiting for. This puts you in a position of mental control.
Building Unshakeable Discipline: By consistently following the framework, you are building the muscle of discipline. You learn that often the most profitable action is no action at all.
Conquering FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out): FOMO is driven by unstructured, random trading. When you know you are only interested in a specific type of setup within a specific time window, the moves that happen outside of that framework become irrelevant noise. You cannot miss a move you were never supposed to take.
Gaining Confidence Through Structure: The clarity and structure provided by the Four-Quarter framework build immense confidence. You are not guessing; you are executing a well-defined plan based on a logical, repeatable methodology.
Chapter 6: Frequently Asked Questions & Scenarios
Q: What happens if no setup appears during the S-Quarter?
A: This is one of the most valuable outcomes the indicator can provide. It means that during the high-probability window, the market did not produce a clear exhaustion or liquidity grab event. The script has effectively told you that the conditions were not optimal for a high-probability reversal, and the correct decision was to preserve your capital. A null signal is a powerful signal in itself.
Q: Can I use this indicator with my existing trend-following strategy?
A: Absolutely. In fact, it's a perfect combination. You can use your macro trend-following tools to establish the dominant weekly or daily direction. Then, you can use the Syndicate Bias Universal indicator on a lower timeframe to look for contrarian setups that signal the end of a pullback, allowing you to enter the trade in the direction of the larger trend at a much better price.
Q: Which analysis timeframe ("Auto TF") is the 'best' one to use?
A: There is no "best" timeframe; there is only the timeframe that is right for your trading style. This is precisely why the fractal design is so powerful. A long-term swing trader might focus primarily on the signals generated by the Daily quarters, while a high-frequency scalper will live within the Micro and Nano quarters. The indicator adapts to you, not the other way around. Experiment and find the resolution that best suits your personality and trading goals.
OSOK AMERICANA [TakingProphets]OVERVIEW
OSOK is an ICT-inspired execution framework designed to help traders map the interaction between Higher-Timeframe (HTF) liquidity sweeps, qualifying Order Blocks, and Current-Timeframe (CTF) confirmation signals — all within a single, structured workflow.
By sequencing an HTF CRT → Order Block → CTF CRT model and integrating IPDA 20 equilibrium context, this tool provides traders with a visual framework for aligning intraday execution decisions with higher-timeframe intent. All plotted elements — sweeps, blocks, open prices, and equilibrium levels — update continuously in real time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Core Concepts (ICT-Based)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Candle Range Transition (CRT) Sweeps
Bullish CRT → The second candle runs below the first candle’s low and closes back inside its range.
Bearish CRT → The second candle runs above the first candle’s high and closes back inside its range.
These patterns are frequently associated with liquidity grabs and potential directional shifts.
HTF → CTF Alignment
-Detects valid HTF CRTs (e.g., Daily CRTs derived from H4 or Weekly CRTs derived from Daily).
-Locates a qualifying Order Block within HTF Candle-2 to identify areas of potential interest.
-Waits for a modified CRT confirmation on the current timeframe before signaling possible directional bias.
IPDA 20 Equilibrium
-Plots the midpoint of the daily highest and lowest prices over the last 20 periods.
-Provides a visual reference for premium and discount pricing zones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How OSOK Works
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1 — HTF CRT Check
On each new HTF candle, the script scans for a clean CRT formation on the higher aggregation (e.g., H4 → D or D → W).
If found, it tags the candles as C1, C2, and C3 and optionally shades their backgrounds for clear visual parsing.
Step 2 — HTF Order Block Identification
Searches within HTF Candle-2 for a qualifying Order Block using a compact pattern filter.
Draws a persistent OB level with clear labeling for context.
Step 3 — CTF Confirmation (Modified CRT)
Monitors your current chart timeframe for a modified CRT in alignment with the HTF setup:
For bullish setups → waits for a bullish modified CRT and close above C1’s high zone.
For bearish setups → expects a bearish modified CRT and close below C1’s low zone.
Step 4 — Real-Time Maintenance
All labels, lines, and background spans update intrabar.
If the setup invalidates — for example, if implied targets are exceeded before entry — the layout resets and waits for the next valid sequence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTF CRT Visualization
-Optional “×” markers on Daily/Weekly CRT sweeps.
-Independent background shading for C1, C2, and C3.
Order Block + Open Price Context
-Draws HTF Order Block levels and plots C3 Open Price (DOP) for additional directional reference.
CTF CRT Execution Cue
-Displays a modified CRT on your current timeframe when conditions align with the HTF narrative.
IPDA 20 Line + Label
-Plots a dynamic midpoint level with an optional label for quick premium/discount context.
Optimized Drawing Engine
-Lightweight, efficient use of chart objects ensures smooth performance without visual clutter.
INPUTS
-Higher Timeframe Settings
-Toggle markers for Daily/Weekly CRT sweeps.
-Enable and color C1, C2, and C3 background spans.
-IPDA Display Options
-Control visibility, color, and line style for IPDA 20 equilibrium levels.
-Sweep, OB, and Open Price Styles
-Per-element customization for colors, widths, and labels.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEST PRACTICES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start on H4 or Daily to identify valid HTF CRT formations.
Confirm a qualifying OB inside Candle-2.
Drop to your execution timeframe and wait for the modified CTF CRT confirmation before acting.
Use IPDA 20 equilibrium as a reference for premium vs. discount zones.
Combine with your ICT session bias and overall market context for optimal decision-making.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OSOK is not a buy/sell signal provider. It’s a visual framework for understanding ICT-based execution models.
All objects reset automatically when new HTF candles form or setups invalidate.
Works on any symbol and timeframe by default, with HTF mapping set to H4 → D and D → W.
Previous Day & Week High/Low LevelsPrevious Day & Week High/Low Levels is a precision tool designed to help traders easily identify the most relevant price levels that often act as strong support or resistance areas in the market. It automatically plots the previous day’s and week’s highs and lows, as well as the current day’s developing internal high and low. These levels are crucial reference points for intraday, swing, and even position traders who rely on price action and liquidity behavior.
Key Features
Previous Day High/Low:
The indicator automatically draws horizontal lines marking the highest and lowest prices from the previous trading day.
These levels are widely recognized as potential zones where the market may react again — either rejecting or breaking through them.
Previous Week High/Low:
The script also tracks and displays the high and low from the last completed trading week.
Weekly levels tend to represent stronger liquidity pools and broader institutional zones, which makes them especially important when aligning higher timeframe context with lower timeframe entries.
Internal Daily High/Low (Real-Time Tracking):
While the day progresses, the indicator dynamically updates the current day’s internal high and low.
This allows traders to visualize developing market structure, identify intraday ranges, and anticipate potential breakouts or liquidity sweeps.
Multi-Timeframe Consistency:
All levels — daily and weekly — remain visible across any chart timeframe, from 1 minute to 1 day or higher.
This ensures traders can maintain perspective and avoid losing track of key zones when switching views.
Customizable Visuals:
The colors, line thickness, and label visibility can be easily adjusted to match personal charting preferences.
This makes the indicator adaptable to any trading style or layout, whether minimalistic or detailed.
How to Use
Identify Key Reaction Zones:
Observe how price interacts with the previous day and week levels. Rejections, consolidations, or clean breakouts around these lines often signal strong liquidity areas or potential directional moves.
Combine with Market Structure or Liquidity Concepts:
The indicator works perfectly with supply and demand analysis, liquidity sweeps, order block strategies, or simply classic support/resistance techniques.
Scalping and Intraday Trading:
On lower timeframes (1m–15m), the daily levels help identify intraday turning points.
On higher timeframes (1h–4h or daily), the weekly levels provide broader context and directional bias.
Risk Management and Planning:
Using these levels as reference points allows for more precise stop placement, target setting, and overall trade management.
Why This Indicator Helps
Markets often react strongly around previous highs and lows because these zones contain trapped liquidity, pending orders, or institutional decision points.
By having these areas automatically mapped out, traders gain a clear and objective view of where price is likely to respond — without needing to manually draw lines every day or week.
Whether you’re a beginner still learning about price structure, or an advanced trader refining entries within liquidity zones, this tool simplifies the process and keeps your charts clean, consistent, and data-driven.

Overview
The Bubble Chart is a market-wide visual map designed to instantly reveal how thousands of stocks and ETFs are performing relative to their peers, all in a single glance.
It dynamically builds relationships between ~3,400 stocks and 143 ETFs , each with its own “friends list” of most-connected tickers. It’s a bit unlike all the other indicators, which you’ll see shortly. It’s a very Tops Down, then Sideways view of the market.
The 144 ETFs covered in the Bubble Chart indicator are listed here in this watchlist: www.tradingview.com
Each bubble represents a security.
X-axis → performance (% change)
Y-axis → variable (you choose the insight)
Bubble size → market cap, relative weight, or %volume
Color → relative performance (green up, red down)
Border → sector color
Your current chart’s timeframe determines the measurement window:
Intraday chart → today so far
Daily chart → week-to-date (WTD)
Weekly chart → month-to-date (MTD)
Monthly chart → year-to-date (YTD)
Everything is relative to that timeframe’s performance window — making it as useful for morning scans as for long-term sector rotations. I recommend starting with an intraday chart. The bubbles represent the day so far on this timeframe.

📊 Y-Axis Options
1. “None” - Heatmap Mode
By default, the Y-axis is set to “None”.
In this mode, the chart functions as a market heatmap, with:
Left-to-right representing relative performance (% change)
Bubble color indicating gain/loss
Bubble size reflecting your chosen metric (Market Cap, Weight, or %Volume)
Up-down randomized just for bubble separation
Think of it as a fancy heatmap with extra context — sector coloring, bubble sizing, and tooltips that surface live data.
Perfect for a quick snapshot of the day’s winners and losers across your selected universe.
⸻
1. %Turnover
This measures conviction behind each move.
Turnover = current money flow vs. average money flow over your lookback window.
A large % move with low turnover = a weak move with little backing.
A moderate % move with high turnover = strong participation, higher conviction.
This is my personal favorite morning setup — it instantly reveals where real buying and selling pressure is emerging as the session unfolds.
A horizontal line across your selected ticker acts as a benchmark, so you can compare others’ conviction levels relative to it.
Any %turnover score >100 means more money than average is flowing in and out of this name. In the example above, ELS, AMT, SUI, and PSA were positive on the day and saw more than the average amount of money being transacted on these tickers today. Do the same for the negative (KIM, ESS, HST, etc), and you know where the money is going. Below 100, the move lacked conviction.
⸻
2. %ATR
Measures range expansion or compression relative to average volatility.
A stock can move big in price but stay inside a tight range → no expansion.
A stock can move little but break its typical volatility boundary → range expansion.
Expansion often signals momentum continuation; compression after large moves can precede turnarounds or consolidations.
This view helps you spot early volatility inflection points.
In the example above, in XLRE, you can see there are a lot of companies that are experiencing a range expansion to the downside. These stocks are now short setup stocks, as the power is pretty overwhelming (number of top companies as well as magnitude over the 100 index). However, there are 3 Stocks that are doing something completely different than the rest. AMT, SBAC, and CCI are experiencing range expansion (volatility) to the upside. These may become the new leaders. You would have to inspect each ticker to see what’s going on.
⸻
3. ROC(5) Z-Score
Z-Score quantifies how far a data point deviates from its mean, measured in standard deviations.
Here it’s applied to 5-period Rate of Change (ROC5).
A high positive Z-Score = performance far above its historical average.
A low (negative) Z-Score = deeply oversold vs. history.
Use this view to identify stretched momentum or mean-reversion candidates:
Stocks high on the Y-axis and green = extended upside momentum
Stocks high but red = potential reversal zones
Stocks low and red = extreme washouts that may soon rebound
This makes it a powerful stock-picking lens for traders who look for reversions or contrarian entries.
The following is the XLU and its 5 top holdings. Looked at on the daily timeframe, which means the ROC(5) score is for its weekly ROC (see timeframe discussion above).
What you can see here is most stocks are within their normal acceleration band. However BIIB is very close to -200. This is uncommon.As you can see from the chart of BIIB with it’s ROC(5) graphed below it, this does indicate a short term turn, and is a high probability long setup.
⸻
4. RSI(15) Z-Score
Similar to the ROC version, but based on RSI(15).
It contextualizes RSI against its own historical distribution, not the fixed 0–100 scale.
When RSI’s Z-Score is above +100 → historically overbought.
Below -100 → historically oversold.
A stock with a high RSI Z-Score but negative performance may be starting to roll over.
A stock with a low RSI Z-Score but positive performance could be beginning a rebound.
This lens is especially powerful for early spotting of turning points in swing and position trades.
In this view, we can see a bunch of stocks that are at or below their -200 Z-Score which suggests RSI is going to increase soon. Taking a look at KKR, we see that it is indeed an area where we might want to look for a short term bounce. .
⸻
5. %52-Week High / %52-Week Low
These two let you visualize positioning within the broader yearly range.
%52-Week High:
Shows how close each ticker is to its highs. Stocks near the top may be in breakout mode.
%52-Week Low:
Shows distance from the lows. Watching these can highlight potential recovery trades — many reversals start when beaten-down stocks begin to cluster and climb from their lows.

⚙️ Bubble Size Options
Market Cap-
Larger companies = larger bubbles.
Ideal for weighting visibility by overall size of influence in the market or sector.
ETF/Friend Weight-
Scales bubbles by their relationship weight to the target ETF or stock.
This helps identify which peers or constituents exert the most pull within the current context.
%Volume-
This scales by relative volume to average volume.
Big bubbles here mean unusual activity, perfect for spotting where participation is surging.
⸻
👥 Friends — Relationship Mapping
Every ticker on the chart has its own “friends list.”
These aren’t arbitrary. They’re discovered through a multi-stage algorithm that analyzes co-occurrence of holdings across ETFs and sectors, roughly like social network analysis for stocks. This is what allows a chart of one stock to intelligently surface others that behave like it, whether through shared ETFs, sector overlap, or statistical co-presence.
Why Friends Matter: When you load AAPL, the chart doesn't just show random stocks. It shows AAPL's "friends", the tickers most connected to it through:
Shared ETF holdings
Sector relationships
Statistical co-movement
This means you're seeing AAPL's context, not just AAPL. Example: AAPL up 2% might look strong, but if all its friends are up 3-4%, AAPL is actually lagging. The chart reveals this instantly.
In this friendship look, you can see companies that are in better (and worse) shape for the month (we are looking at it on the “W” timeframe). If I didn’t own ORCL, INTC, or MU (hidden use tooltip), I should start looking at them.

🧩 Data Sources
ETF Constituents:
ETF holdings are derived from information filed with the SEC’s EDGAR database, specifically N-PORT-P filings. These filings are public records submitted by ETF issuers.
Because EDGAR data can vary in structure and naming conventions, additional parsing, fuzzy matching, and ticker reconciliation logic were applied. Some inconsistencies may remain, and minor inaccuracies are possible.
EDGAR filings can also lag slightly behind real-time changes to ETF portfolios; however, for this visualization tool, that level of latency does not materially affect its purpose or insights.
Exchange & Share Count Data:
Information on exchanges and outstanding shares primarily comes from the SEC Company Facts API.
When unavailable, supplemental values are inferred from public SEC filings such as 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K reports, and the SEC Company Submissions API for general company metadata.
All such data is publicly accessible through the SEC’s online systems.
I will update the SEC information on the ETFs once every 3 months to ensure etf constituent accuracy.
Sector & Industry Classification:
Sector and industry classifications were developed through a custom workflow that combines automated and human-reviewed methods.
An internal AI system analyzed each company’s publicly available website information to summarize business activities and assign one of 144 custom-defined industry categories.
Results were cross-checked by multiple independent classification models, and any uncertain outputs were manually reviewed for accuracy.
To improve interpretive consistency, publicly available information from StockAnalysis.com was also referenced (not republished) to inform final classifications.
Their content was used in accordance with their stated policy allowing limited reference with attribution — no full content or proprietary data was reproduced.

The Bubble Chart is a market topology engine that visualizes participation, conviction, volatility, and sentiment in real time.
Whether you’re scanning morning momentum, identifying exhausted moves, or exploring ETF ecosystems, it gives you a spatial view of where the action really is.
Key Levels with RTH-Only Lines and End-of-Line LabelsThis script plots important market structure levels such as Premarket High/Low, Previous Day High/Low, Monday High/Low, Weekly and Monthly Highs/Lows — but only during Regular Trading Hours (RTH) to keep the chart clean and focused on the active session.
Each level is automatically updated based on session data and is visually extended across the current trading day using line breaks (plot.style_linebr). At the start of each RTH session, the script also places end-of-line labels identifying each level (e.g., PDH, PDL, Mon High, Mon Low, Weekly High/Low, Monthly High/Low), allowing traders to quickly reference key zones without clutter.
This tool is ideal for:
Futures and equity traders who rely on session-based support and resistance levels.
Identifying reaction points where liquidity often builds — such as prior highs/lows or weekly extremes.
Maintaining focus on live market structure while avoiding noise from premarket or overnight price action.
Additional features:
All levels and labels are plotted only during RTH for visual clarity.
Supports custom labeling and alert logic extensions for breakout or retest strategies.
Built with scalability in mind — works across different symbols and timeframes.
Gold Raider Pro [Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital]Core logic
During the London kill-zone, the script locks in the session high/low (LKZ).
After London ends, it looks for a liquidity sweep (price pokes beyond LKZ high/low) then a BOS (break of the first opposing swing) to confirm reversal.
Trades are only valid with higher-timeframe bias (D1 & H4 above/below EMA-50 in agreement).
Optional filters block weak signals: time gate (NY cutoff), ADR (skip if the day’s move is already stretched), and VWAP alignment (Midnight/Weekly/Monthly).
Output is a unified signal: BUY after low sweep + BOS in bull HTF, SELL after high sweep + BOS in bear HTF; labels + dashboard summarize state and reasons.
Best setup & usage
Chart & broker: XAUUSD on a high-liquidity feed (ICMarkets/FXPro/OANDA). Use 2m–5m for executions; confirm with 15m market structure.
Session: Set timezone to America/New_York. Default London kill-zone 02:30–04:30 NY; stop taking new signals after 11:00 NY (toggle in inputs).
HTF bias: Keep EMA length = 50 on D & H4 (default). Only toggle off bias if you’re deliberately testing counter-trend sweeps (not recommended live).
Structure/BOS: Use Swing Length = 3. Leave “Require BOS after the sweep” = ON for the cleanest signals; turn “Require close back inside LKZ” ON only if you want ultra-conservative entries.
VWAP filters: Keep Midnight VWAP = ON; add Weekly/Monthly only on trend days to avoid over-filtering range sessions.
ADR guardrail: Enable ADR filter once you go live; start with ADR Threshold = 0.9 and Lookback 14. This blocks chasing extended moves.
Execution playbook:
BUY: Wait for low sweep of LKZ → BOS up → dashboard shows BULL bias, Time/ADR OK, VWAP pass. Enter on the next pullback or at close; SL below BOS invalidation (or fixed 0.5–0.8× ADR14 of XAU).
SELL: Mirror logic after a high sweep in BEAR bias; SL above BOS invalidation.
TP: Scale at 1R, leave runner to 2–3R or to Midnight/Weekly VWAP touch; hard exit by NY lunchtime or on bias flip.
Risk: 0.25–0.5% per trade (XAU is spiky). One trade per direction per session; if ADR block triggers post-entry, manage to BE or flatten if structure weakens.
Alerts & dashboard: Turn on runtime alerts once parameters are set. Read the Last Signal / Filters row; only act when it shows your direction and “L:OK / S:OK” for your side.
Validation & tuning: Forward-test 3–4 weeks. If over-filtered, relax VWAP Weekly/Monthly first; if too chatty, enforce close-back-inside and keep NY cutoff tight.
Don’ts: Don’t trade during major news spikes, don’t counter the D1/H4 agreement, and don’t enter before BOS—sweeps without structure confirmation are bait.
BMSB Watchlist Alert - Daily w/ 1% Proximity# Bull Market Support Band - Daily Updates with Proximity Alerts
## Overview
This indicator tracks the Bull Market Support Band (20-week SMA and 21-week EMA) with daily resolution updates and proximity warnings. The weekly moving averages update every day on your chart, giving you more frequent signals than traditional weekly-only scripts.
## What It Does
The script monitors price action relative to the BMSB and generates alerts for:
- Price crossing above or below either the 20W SMA or 21W EMA
- Price coming within 1% of either moving average (early warning system)
This proximity feature is useful for catching potential support/resistance tests before they actually happen, giving you advance notice to prepare for entries or exits.
## Key Features
- Weekly MAs that update daily for more responsive monitoring
- Configurable proximity threshold (default 1%, adjustable from 0.1% to 5%)
- Visual proximity zones shown as dotted lines around each MA
- Color-coded background highlighting (green when above both MAs, red when below both, orange when in proximity zone)
- On-chart labels for crosses and proximity warnings
- Status table showing current position relative to the band
## Setup for Watchlist Alerts
1. Add the indicator to any chart
2. Create alerts using these conditions:
- "BMSB Cross Alert" - fires on actual crosses
- "BMSB Proximity Alert" - fires when entering the 1% zone
3. Set interval to 1 day (recommended) or 4 hour for more frequent checks
4. Use "Once Per Bar Close" for the trigger option
5. Apply the same alert to your entire watchlist
## Settings
You can toggle on/off:
- Cross above alerts
- Cross below alerts
- Proximity alerts
- Proximity percentage adjustment
- Visual elements (labels, MA lines, proximity zones)
## Notes
The BMSB is commonly used in crypto markets to identify bull market pullback support levels. This implementation adds the proximity warning system to help you anticipate potential tests of these key levels rather than waiting for confirmed crosses.
Works on any timeframe but designed for daily monitoring of weekly moving averages.
GRG/RGR Signal, MA, Ranges and PivotsThis indicator is a combination of several indicators.
It is a combination of two of my indicators which I solely use for trading
1. EMA 10-20-50-200, Pivots and Previous Day/Week/Month range
2. 3/4-Bar GRG / RGR Pattern (Conditional 4th Candle)
You can use them individually if you already have some of them or just use this one. Belive me when I say, this is all you need, along with market structure knowlege and even if you don’t have that, this indicator has been doing wonders for me. This is all I use. I do not use anything else.
**Note - Do checkout the indicators individually as I have added valuable information in the comment section.
It contains the following,
1. 10 EMA/SMA - configurable
2. 20 EMA/SMA - configurable
3. 50 EMA/SMA - configurable
4. 200 EMA/SMA - configurable
5. Previous Day's Range - configurable
6. Previous Week's Range - configurable
7. Previous Month's Range - configurable
8. Pivots - configurable
9. Buy Sell Signal - configurable
The Moving Averages
It is a very important combination and using it correctly with price action will strengthen your entries and exits.
The ema's or sma's added are the most powerful ones and they do definitely act as support and resistance.
The Daily/Weekly/Monthly Ranges
The Daily/Weekly/Monthly ranges are extremely important for any trader and should be used for targets and reversals.
Pivots
Pivots can provide support and resistance level. R5 and S5 can be used to check for over stretched conditions. You can customise them however you like. It is a full pivot indicator.
It is defaulted to show R5 and S5 only to reduce noise in the chart but it can be customised.
The 3/4 RGR or GRG Signal Generator
Combined with a 3/4 RGR or GRG setup can be all a trader needs.
You don't need complex strategies and SMC concepts to trade. Simple EMAs, ranges and RGR/GRG setup is the most winning combination.
This indicator can be used to identify the Green-Red-Green or Red-Green-Red pattern.
It is a price action indicator where a price action which identifies the defeat of buyers and sellers.
If the buyers comprehensively defeat the sellers then the price moves up and if the sellers defeat the buyers then the price moves down.
In my trading experience this is what defines the price movement.
It is a 3 or 4 candle pattern, beyond that i.e, 5 or more candles could mean a very sideways market and unnecessary signal generation.
How does it work?
Upside/Green signal
1. Say candle 1 is Green, which means buyers stepped in, then candle 2 is Red or a Doji, that means sellers brought the price down. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Green and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle, then a green arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
2. Here the buyers defeated the sellers.
3. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
4. Important - We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves above the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. Ignore wicks.
5. But for a more optimised entry I have added an option to use candle’s highs and lows instead of open and close. This reduces lot of noise and provides us with more precise entry. This setting is turned on by default.
6. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
7. I call it the +-+ or GRG pattern or Green-Red-Green or Buyer-Seller-Buyer or Seller defeated or just Buyer pattern.
8. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders (that includes me) or candle 2's body low for risky traders.
9. Back testing suggests that body low will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Downside/Red signal
1. Say candle 1 is Red, which means sellers stepped in, then candle 2 is Green or a Doji, that means buyers took the price up. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Red and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle then a Red arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
2. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
3. We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves below the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close.
4. But for a more optimised entry I have added an option to use candle’s highs and lows instead of open and close. This reduces lot of noise and provides us with more precise entry. This setting is turned on by default.
5. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
6. I call it the -+- or RGR pattern or Red-Green-Red or Seller-Buyer-Seller or Buyer defeated or just Seller pattern.
7. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders ( that includes me) or candle 2's body high for risky traders.
8. Back testing suggests that body high will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Combining Indicators and Signal
Combining these indicators with GRG/RGR signal can be very powerful and can provide big moves.
1. MA crossover and Signal - This is very powerful and provides a very big move. Trades can be held for longer. If after taking the trade we notice that the MA crossover has happened then trades can be held for higher targets.
2. Pivots and Signal - Pivots and add a support or resistance point. Take profits on these points. R5/S5 are over streched conditions so we can start looking for reversal signals and ignore other signals
3. Intraday Range - first 1, 5, 15 min of the day - Sideways days is when price will stay in these ranges. You can take profits at these ranges or if the range is broken and we get a signal, then it can mean that the direction will be sustained.
4. Previous Day/Week/Month Ranges - These can be used as Take Profit points if the price is moving towards them after getting the signal. If the range is broken and we get a signal then it can be a strong signal. They can also be used as reversal points if a strong signal is generated.
Important Settings
1. Include 4th Candle Confirmation - You can enable or disable the 4th candle signal to avoid the noise, but at times I have noticed that the 4th candle gives a very strong signal or I can say that the strong signal falls on the 4th candle. This is mostly a coincidence.
2. Bars to check (default 10) - You can also configure how many previous bars should the signal be generated for. 10 to 30 is good enough. To backtest increase it to 2000 or 5000 for example.
3. Use Candle High/Low for confirmation instead of Candle Open/Close - More optimized entry and noise reduction. This option is now defaulted to false.
4. Show Green-Red-Green (bull) signals - Show only bull entries. Useful when I have a predefined view i.e, I know market is going to go up today.
5. Show Red-Green-Red (bear) signals - Show only bear entries. Useful when I have a predefined view i.e, I know market is going to go down today.
6. 3rd candle should be a Strong candle before considering 4th candle - This will enforce additional logic in 4 candle setup that the 3rd candle is the candle in our direction of breakout. This means something like GRGG is mandatory, which is still the default behaviour. If disabled, the 3rd candle can be any candle and 4th candle will act as our breakout candle. This behaviour has led to breakouts and breakdowns as times, hence I added this as a separate feature. Vice-versa for a RGGR.
For a 4 candle setup till now we were expecting GRGG or RGRR but we can let the system ignore the 3rd candle completely if needed.
This will result in additional signals.
7. Three intraday ranges added for index and stock traders - 1 min, 5 min and 15 min ranges will be displayed. These are disabled by default except 15 min. These are very important ranges and in sideways days the price will usually move within the 15 min. A breakout of this range and a positive signal can be a very powerful setup.
Safe traders can avoid taking a trade in this range as it can lead to fakeouts.
The line style, width, color and opacity are configurable.
Pointers/Golden Rules
1. If after taking the trade, the next candle moves in your direction and closes strong bullish or bearish, then move SL to break even and after that you can trail it.
2. If a upside trade hits SL and immediately a down side trade signal is generated on the next candle then take it. Vice versa is true.
3. Trades need to be taken on previous 2 candle's body high or low combined and not the wicks.
4. The most losses a trader takes is on a sideways day and because in our strategy the stop loss is so small that even on a sideways day we'll get out with a little profit or worst break even.
5. Hold trades for longer targets and don't panic.
6. If last 3-4 days have been sideways then there is a good probability that today will be trending so we can hold our trade for longer targets. Inverse is true when the market has been trending for 2-3 days then volatility followed by sideways is coming (DOW theory). Target to hold the trade for whole day and not exit till the day closes.
7. In general avoid trading in the middle of the day for index and stocks. Divide the day into 3 parts and avoid the middle.
8. Use Support/Resistance, 10, 20, 50, 200 EMA/SMA, Gaps, Whole/Round numbers(very imp) for identifying targets.
9. Trail your SL.
10. For indexes I would use 5 min and 15 min timeframe and at times 10 mins.
11. For commodities and crypto we can use higher timeframe as well. Look for signals during volatile time durations and avoid trading the whole day. Signal usually gives good targets on those times.
12. If a GRG or RGR pattern appears on a daily timeframe then this is our time to go big.
13. Minimum Risk to Reward should be 1:2 and for longer targets can be 1:4 to 1:10.
14. Trade with small lot size. Money management will happen automatically.
15. With small lot size and correct Risk-Reward we can be very profitable. Don't trade with big lot size.
16. Stay in the market for longer and collect points not money.
17. Very imp - Watch market and learn to generate a market view.
18. Very imp - Only 3 type of candles are needed in trading -
Strong Bullish (Big Green candle), Strong Bearish (Big Red candle),
Hammer (it is Strong Bullish), Inverse Hammer (it is Strong Bearish)
and Doji (indecision or confusion).
If on daily timeframe I see Strong Bullish candle previous day then I am biased to the upside the next day, if I see Strong Bearish candle the previous day then I am biased to the downside the next day, if I see Doji on the previous day then I am cautious the next day, if there are back to back Dojis forming in daily or weekly then I am preparing for big move so time to go big once I get the signal.
19. Most Important Candlestick pattern - Bullish and Bearish Engulfing
20. The only Chart patterns I need -
a) Falling Wedge/Channel Bullish Pattern Uptrend or Bull Flag - Buying - Forming over a couple days for intraday and forming over a couple of weeks for swing
b) Falling Wedge/Channel Bullish Pattern Downtrend or Falling Channel - Buying
c) Rising Wedge Bearish Pattern Uptrend or Rising Channel - Selling
d) Rising Wedge Bearish Pattern Downtrend or Bear flag - Selling
e) Head and Shoulder - Over a longer period not for intraday. In 15 min takes few days and for swing 1hr or 4h or daily can take few days
f) M and W pattern - Reversal Patterns - They form within the above 4 patterns, usually resulting in the break of trend line
21. How Gaps work -
a) Small Gap up in Uptrend - Market can fill the gap and reverse. The perception is that people are buying. If previous day candle was Strong Bullish then market view is up.
b) Big Gap up in Uptrend - Not news driven - Profit booking will come but may not fill the entire gap
c) Big Gap up in Uptrend - News driven, war related, tax, interest rate - Market can keep going up without stopping.
c) Flat opening in Uptrend - Big chance of market going up. If previous day candle was Strong Bullish then view is upwards, if it was Doji then still upwards.
d) Gap down in Uptrend - Market is surprised. After going down initially it can go up
e) Small Gap down in Downtrend - Market can fill the gap and keep moving down. If previous day candle was Strong Bearish then view is still down.
f) Flat opening in Downtrend - View is down, short today.
g) Big Gap down in Downtrend - Profit booking and foolish buying will come but market view is still down.
h) Gap down with News - Volatility, sideways then down.
i) Gap Up in Downtrend - Can move up - Price can move up during 2/3rd of the day and End of the day revert and close in red.
22. Go big on bearish days for option traders. Puts are better bought and Calls are better sold.
23. Cluster of green signals can lead to bigger move on the upside and vice versa for red signals.
24. Most of this is what I learned from successful traders (from the top 2%) only the indicator is mine.
Hotzones EssentialsThe Hotzones essentials kit combines key price action principles into a single kit. These features come together to form a unique approach to price action trading.
The Killzone Blocks are a precision-engineered market-mapping system designed to identify high-liquidity price regions zones where institutional participants and smart money are most likely to interact. These areas often act as reaction points , where liquidity absorption, reversals, or continuation moves are started. By highlighting these zones, traders can potentially anticipate market intent and position themselves accordingly with greater confidence.
Shown above is are Killzone Blocks highlighting their strength and deltas.
Killzone Blocks are dynamically generated from significant structural shifts in the market where key areas where order flow and volume imbalance indicate a change in control between buyers and sellers. Each block represents a localized liquidity pocket, allowing users to visualize potential killzones which are regions where price is statistically more likely to bounce, reject, or consolidate before choosing direction.
The algorithm continuously tracks structural breaks , pivot reactions , and volume clustering to ensure that every block represents a meaningful, data-driven region rather than random candle overlap.
Volume and Delta Analysis
Each Killzone Block carries an advanced volume breakdown that quantifies order-flow dynamics within the zone.
Volume Data: Displays both bullish and bearish volume as a percentage of the total block volume, quantifying buying vs. selling intensity and helping traders gauge whether the zone was dominated by aggressive buyers or sellers.
Gray Text (Order Block Volume Type): Shows metrics specific to the block’s nature.
Bearish Blocks: Display only the bear volume (sell pressure) as a percentage of total OB volume.
Bullish Blocks: Display only the bull volume (buy pressure) as a percentage of total OB volume.
This separation removes noise and helps traders focus on which participant truly dominated the zone.
Each block also features a Delta Indicator which is a color-coded circle offering instant insight into which side of the market was in control:
🔴 Red: Strong negative delta (-100% to -20%) = Sellers dominated.
🟡 Yellow: Neutral delta (-10% to +10%) = Market in balance or absorption.
🔵 Blue: Strong positive delta (+20% to +100%) = Buyers dominated.
The delta represents the difference between buyer and seller volume within that block. A positive delta indicates aggressive buying absorption , while a negative delta suggests sell-side control .
Shown above we see a very small delta with neutral volume. This is a very balanced market zone where we might be less likely to see a reaction.
Customization and Inputs
Users can tailor the Killzone Blocks to suit their analysis style:
* Adjust the displayed block count to view short-term or long-term structures.
* Choose whether zones are drawn from wicks or bodies . Wick-based zones are more reactive to intraday liquidity hunts, while body-based zones reflect institutional candle closings and conviction.
Killzone Levels
Killzone Levels expand on the concept of liquidity mapping by plotting the most influential horizontal levels in the market daily, weekly, and monthly highs and lows . These levels represent major liquidity pools where large clusters of stop orders, breakout triggers, and institutional re-entries often occur.
Users can customize every visual aspect of these levels, including color, style, and line thickness if needed.
These levels are crucial because markets tend to gravitate toward previous highs and lows to collect liquidity before reversing or extending the trend. Daily levels act as intraday targets, weekly levels provide swing and mid-term context, and monthly levels define macro liquidity boundaries where institutional flows are concentrated.
When a Killzone Block aligns with a Killzone Level ; for example, a bullish block forming near a weekly low, it creates strong confluence and raises the probability of a meaningful reaction. Together, these levels transform simple horizontal lines into dynamic zones of opportunity.
Open Range Breakout
The Open Range Breakout feature identifies the first major liquidity window of each trading session, often referred to as the opening range or killzone window . This range is defined by the high and low formed within a user-defined session time (for example, 08:00–08:45 for the London session).
Shown above is a breakout of a range.
Once the window closes, the system locks in the session’s high and low, marking the balance point of early order flow. From this moment, price action is monitored in real time:
- A break above the high generates a bullish breakout signal , confirming buyer control.
- A break below the low generates a bearish breakout signal , confirming seller dominance.
To enhance accuracy, the feature includes a Level 2 Confirmation setting. Rather than triggering on a wick or brief spike, this level confirms a breakout only when a full candle closes outside the open range . This ensures signals reflect genuine intent and continuation pressure instead of short-term liquidity sweeps.
Seen above is confluence between a retest of a zone and a breakout.
Traders use the Open Range Breakout to establish session bias ; whether the market is trending bullish or bearish for that specific session. Combined with Killzone Blocks and Levels, it forms a complete confluence system for identifying direction, gauging strength, and mapping high-probability reaction zones.
Overall this toolkit provides 3 unique tools that come together to form powerful confluence and deeper insights into volume and price action.
Futures Day Trading Key Levels by Dhawal Ranka
Hey everyone, thank you for using this script, let me know in the comments how you feel about it!
What this script does:
This indicator renders one consolidated map of intraday reference levels for futures (e.g., ES, NQ, GC, CL). It is session-aware and draws:
- Previous ETH day High/Low/Close
- Previous RTH High/Low/Close (built from your RTH session)
- Today’s developing RTH High/Low and Mid
- Overnight (ON) session High/Low
- Opening Range (first N minutes of RTH): OR High/Low
- VWAP (day-anchored) with optional ±σ bands
- Floor Pivots (PP/R1/S1/R2/S2) from prior ETH daily bar
- ADR projections (Up/Down) using a configurable lookback and anchor
- Settlement: prior official settlement and today’s projected settle (with manual override)
- Weekly/Monthly context: prior W/M High/Low/Close and current W/M Open
- Minimal right-edge text tags (instead of big boxes) that sit on the price scale line and auto-pack when levels coincide
All lines extend across the chart to make confluence obvious without clutter.
How it works (methods & calculations)
Sessions
The script exposes two user sessions and a time zone:
RTH (e.g., 09:30–16:00 America/New_York)
ON (e.g., 18:00–09:29 America/New_York)
Session membership is computed with time(timeframe, session, tz) != 0.
RTH H/L/C (prev) are aggregated intrabar: on RTH start we seed H/L; while inRTH we update; on RTH end we store the close.
Previous Day (ETH) levels
request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", high /low /close ) supplies PDH/PDL/PDC on the continuous ETH daily.
Opening Range
On RTH start we mark orStartTime.
While RTH is active and elapsed time < N minutes, we track the running high/low.
When elapsed ≥ N minutes, we freeze OR High/Low.
VWAP & ±σ bands (intraday)
Day-anchored VWAP uses ta.vwap(hlc3).
Bands: standard deviation of (close − vwap) from day start, accumulated inline:
stdev = sqrt( mean(dev^2) − mean(dev)^2 )
Bands = vwap ± k * stdev (user multiplier).
Floor Pivots (classic)
Using prior ETH daily H/L/C:
PP = (H + L + C) / 3
R1 = 2*PP − L, S1 = 2*PP − H
R2 = PP + (H − L), S2 = PP − (H − L).
ADR projections
Daily range series rng = request.security(..., "D", high - low).
ADR = SMA(rng, L) (default L=14).
Anchor is user-selectable: today’s open or yesterday’s close.
Projections: ADR Up = anchor + ADR/2, ADR Down = anchor − ADR/2.
Settlement
Prev Settle defaults to prior ETH daily close but can be overridden manually for markets where official settlement differs from feed close.
Today Projected Settle uses the current ETH daily close value.
Weekly / Monthly context
Prior W/M H/L/C from "W"/"M" with , plus current W/M Open.
Rendering & label logic (originality)
Lines are persistent: each named level owns one line object that is updated, not re-created—keeps resource use low and avoids “too many plots”.
Right-edge labels are text-only (no box) placed at x = bar_index + offset and yloc.price.
When multiple levels share (almost) the same price, labels are packed side-by-side using a small bucketing algorithm:
Prices are bucketed within ±½ tick.
Each label gets a position index inside its bucket; the final x-offset = baseOffset + index*step + priority.
Priorities nudge important tags (e.g., Settle/RTH levels) closer to the price scale so they remain readable.
Why this is published & what’s original
It’s not a simple mashup: the script’s utility is the session-aware aggregation, the OR timing logic, the intraday σ calculation around VWAP, the line-persistence manager, and the label packing with priorities that keeps the right edge readable even when many levels coincide.
The closed-source protection covers the packing/priority scheme and the persistent object management that make it practical on busy futures charts without hitting Pine limits.
How to use
Set your sessions & time zone
Choose RTH/ON session windows (the defaults match CME equity index futures) and the time zone of your charting workflow.
Toggle components
Enable only the layers you need (e.g., VWAP bands off if you want a cleaner chart).
Opening Range length (minutes) is adjustable.
Settlement
If your broker/feed’s daily close isn’t the official settlement, enter a manual settle value for the prior day.
Read the right edge
Labels sit on the price scale line. When two labels share the same price, they appear side-by-side rather than overlapping.
Timeframes & symbols
Designed for intraday futures on 1–30m. Works on other symbols/timeframes but intent is day trading.
Inputs (summary)
Sessions/TZ: RTH window, ON window, time zone
Today: RTH H/L/Mid, ON H/L, OR (minutes)
VWAP: on/off, ±σ bands, multiplier
Pivots: PP/R1/S1/R2/S2 (ETH)
ADR: lookback, anchor (open vs. prev close)
Settlement: show prev/proj, manual override
Weekly/Monthly: prior H/L/C + current open
Style: line transparency; right-edge tag size, base offset, and step; optional inline labels
Limitations & notes
“Prev Settle” equals the prior daily close unless overridden.
Session definitions matter: if your exchange hours differ, set your own RTH/ON windows.
No alerts are included to minimize plot count and keep performance high (you can add alert conditions on any level in a private copy).

COT Raw Net Positions📊 What the COT Raw Data Shows — and Why It’s So Valuable
The COT Raw view displays the actual net positions of each trader group (Commercials, Large Speculators, and Retail/Small Traders) as reported weekly by the CFTC.
Instead of normalizing or smoothing the data, it shows the real contract numbers — how many futures contracts each group is long or short.
This raw form of the data offers pure transparency into market positioning.
It allows traders to:
See the true scale of institutional buying or selling pressure.
Understand how different market participants are behaving week to week.
Spot early accumulation or distribution phases long before they become visible on price charts.
Compare multiple assets side by side to gauge relative strength across markets.
While the COT Index simplifies things by showing where current positions sit relative to history, the COT Raw view provides context and depth — helping experienced traders understand why those extremes are forming.
In essence:
📈 COT Raw = the foundation of the data — it shows what’s really happening under the surface.
It’s a must-have for traders who want to study institutional flows, analyze correlations, and confirm macro sentiment shifts directly from the source.
⚠️ Note: As with all COT-based tools, the data updates weekly and is best interpreted on weekly or higher timeframes.
VWAP Deviation Oscillator [BackQuant]VWAP Deviation Oscillator
Introduction
The VWAP Deviation Oscillator turns VWAP context into a clean, tradeable oscillator that works across assets and sessions. It adapts to your workflow with four VWAP regimes plus two rolling modes, and three deviation metrics: Percent, Absolute, and Z-Score. Colored zones, optional standard deviation rails, and flexible plot styles make it fast to read for both trend following and mean reversion.
What it does
This tool measures how far price is from a chosen VWAP and expresses that gap as an oscillator. You can view the deviation as raw price units, percent, or standardized Z-Score. The plot can be a histogram or a line with optional fills and sigma bands, so you can quickly spot polarity shifts, overbought and oversold conditions, and strength of extension.
VWAP modes track a session VWAP that resets (4H, Daily, Weekly) or a rolling VWAP that updates continuously over a fixed number of bars or days.
Deviation modes let you choose the lens: Percent, Absolute, or Z-Score. Each highlights different aspects of stretch and mean pressure.
Visual encoding uses a 10-zone color palette to grade the magnitude of deviation on both sides of zero.
Volatility guards compute mode-specific sigma so thresholds are stable even when volatility compresses.
Why this works
VWAP is a high signal anchor used by institutions to gauge fair participation. Deviations around VWAP cluster in regimes: mild oscillations within a band, decisive pushes that signal imbalance, and standardized extremes that often precede either continuation or snapback. Expressing that distance as a single time series adds clarity: bias is the oscillator’s sign, risk context is its magnitude, and regime is the way it behaves around sigma lines.
How to use it
Trend following
Favor the side of the zero line. Bullish when the oscillator is above zero and making higher swing highs. Bearish when below zero and making lower swing lows. Use +1 sigma and +2 sigma in your mode as strength tiers. Pullbacks that hold above zero in uptrends, or below zero in downtrends, are often continuation entries.
Mean reversion
Fade stretched readings when structure supports it. Look for tests of +2 sigma to +3 sigma that fail to progress and roll back toward zero, or the mirror on the downside. Z-Score mode is best when you want standardized gates across assets. Percent mode is intuitive for intraday scalps where a given percent stretch tends to mean revert.
Session playbook
Use Daily or Weekly VWAP for intraday or swing context. Rolling modes help when the asset lacks clean session boundaries or when you want a continuous anchor that adapts to liquidity shifts.
Key settings
VWAP computation
VWAP Mode = 4 Hours, Daily, Weekly, Rolling (Bars), Rolling (Days). Session modes reset the VWAP when a new session begins. Rolling modes compute VWAP over a fixed trailing window.
Rolling (Lookback: Bars) controls the trailing bar count when using Rolling (Bars).
Rolling (Lookback: Days) converts days to bars at runtime and uses that trailing span.
Use Close instead of HLC3 switches the price reference. HLC3 is smoother. Close makes the anchor track settlement more tightly.
Deviation measurement
Deviation Mode
Percent : 100 * (Price / VWAP - 1). Good for uniform scaling across instruments.
Absolute : Price - VWAP. Good when price units themselves matter.
Z-Score : Standardizes the absolute residual by its own mean and standard deviation over Z/Std Window . Ideal for cross-asset comparability and regime studies.
Z/Std Window sets the mean and standard deviation window for Z-Score mode.
Volatility controls
Percent Mode Volatility Lookback estimates sigma for percent deviations.
Absolute Mode Volatility Lookback estimates sigma for absolute deviations.
Minimum Sigma Guard (pct pts) prevents the percent sigma from collapsing to near zero in extremely quiet markets.
Visualization
Plot Type = Histogram or Line. Histogram emphasizes impulse and polarity changes. Line emphasizes trend waves and divergences.
Positive Color / Negative Color define the palette for line mode. Histogram uses a 10-bucket gradient automatically.
Show Standard Deviations plots symmetric rails at ±1, ±2, ±3 sigma in the current mode’s units.
Fill Line Oscillator and Fill Opacity add a soft bias band around zero for line mode.
Line Width affects both the oscillator and the sigma rails.
Reading the zones
The oscillator’s color and height map deviation to nine graded buckets on each side of zero, with deeper greens above and deeper reds below. In Percent and Absolute modes, those buckets are scaled by their mode-specific sigma. In Z-Score mode the bucket edges are fixed at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 2.8.
0 to +1 sigma weak positive bias, usually rotational.
+1 to +2 sigma constructive impulse. Pullbacks that hold above zero often continue.
+2 to +3 sigma strong expansion. Watch for either trend continuation or exhaustion tells.
Beyond +3 sigma statistical extreme. Requires structure to avoid fading too soon.
Mirror logic applies on the negative side.
Suggested workflows
Trend continuation checklist
Pick a session VWAP that matches your timeframe, for example Daily for intraday or Weekly for position trades.
Wait for the oscillator to hold the correct side of zero and for a sequence of higher swing lows in the oscillator (uptrend) or lower swing highs (downtrend).
Buy pullbacks that stabilize between zero and +1 sigma in an uptrend. Sell rallies that stabilize between zero and -1 sigma in a downtrend.
Use the next sigma band or a prior price swing as your target reference.
Mean reversion checklist
Switch to Z-Score mode for standardized thresholds.
Identify tests of ±2 sigma to ±3 sigma that fail to extend while price meets support or resistance.
Enter on a polarity change through the prior histogram bar or a small hook in line mode.
Fade back to zero or to the opposite inner band, then reassess.
Notes on the three modes
Percent is easy to reason about when you care about proportional stretch. It is well suited to intraday and multi-asset dashboards.
Absolute tracks cash distance from VWAP. This is useful when instruments have tight ticks and you plan risk in price units.
Z-Score standardizes the residual and is best for quant studies, cross-asset comparisons, and threshold research that must be scale invariant.
What the alerts can tell you
Polarity changes at zero can mark the start or end of a leg.
Crosses of ±1 sigma identify overbought or oversold in the current mode’s units.
Zone changes signal an upgrade or downgrade in deviation strength.
Troubleshooting and edge cases
If your instrument has long flat periods, keep Minimum Sigma Guard above zero in Percent mode so the rails do not vanish.
In Rolling modes, very short windows will respond quickly but can whip around. Session modes smooth this by resetting at well known boundaries.
If Z-Score looks erratic, increase Z/Std Window to stabilize the estimate of mean and sigma for the residual.
Final thoughts
VWAP is the anchor. The deviation oscillator is the narrative. By separating bias, magnitude, and regime into a simple stream you can execute faster and review cleaner. Pick the VWAP mode that matches your horizon, choose the deviation lens that matches your risk framework, and let the color graded zones guide your decisions.
Auto Market Bias Dashboard |TG|Overview
The Auto Market Bias Dashboard is a Pine Script v5 indicator developed on the TradingView platform. This tool automatically calculates and visualizes the market bias for the selected asset (crypto, forex, or futures). By analyzing the market structure across different timeframes (Weekly, Daily, 4-Hour, 1-Hour), it identifies bullish, bearish, or neutral trends. Its main purpose is to provide traders with a quick summary to simplify the decision-making process. The indicator is optimized particularly for 1-hour and higher timeframes and issues warnings on lower timeframes.
How It Works?
The indicator uses a scoring system based on 7 fundamental questions for each timeframe. Each question evaluates market dynamics and assigns a score of +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral):
Is the Trend in an Upward Direction? – The closing price is checked against the 20-period SMA.
Has the Previous Candle's High Been Breached? – For breakout analysis, the close is evaluated against the previous candle's high/low.
Was Respect Paid to PDA? (FVG/Sweep) – Market structure alignment is sought through Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection (calculated specifically for each TF).
Is Volume Increasing in the Direction of Price? – Volume is compared to its 20-period SMA and the candle direction (TF-specific).
Does the Correlated Asset Show the Same Bias? – Trend alignment is checked with the selected correlated asset (e.g., ES1!, MNQ1!, MES1!); neutral conditions are supported.
Market Structure – Reversal signals are sought through pivot high/low detection (high: bearish, low: bullish).
Has Volatility Increased? – ATR (14 periods) and its SMA (20 periods) are combined with the candle direction (TF-specific).
The total bias for each timeframe is calculated (/7). The overall bias combines the weekly score with double weighting ((Weekly × 2) + Daily + 4H + 1H = /28). Results:
Positive (>0): Bullish (Green) – Buying opportunity.
Negative (<0): Bearish (Red) – Selling opportunity.
Zero: Neutral (Silver) – Indecisive.

3CRGANG - SESSIONSOverview
The "3CRGANG - SESSIONS" indicator is a comprehensive tool for visualizing and monitoring major global trading sessions on TradingView charts. It highlights sessions for key exchanges—New York (NYSE), London (LSE), Frankfurt (FSE), Sydney (ASX), Tokyo (TSE), and Hong Kong (HKSE)—with customizable alerts, background coloring on low timeframes, and an interactive dashboard table. Designed for traders who operate across timezones or need session-based context, it accounts for holidays, half-days, and daylight saving time (DST) adjustments to provide accurate, real-time session status. On charts of 1-minute or lower, it overlays semi-transparent background colors to mark active sessions visually. Across all timeframes, a compact table at the bottom center displays session cells with dynamic coloring, and hovering over each reveals a tooltip with the weekly schedule, time until open/close, and holiday notes.
Built on Pine Script v6, this overlay indicator enhances situational awareness for forex, stocks, futures, and other assets by syncing with exchange-specific calendars. Its invite-only status ensures access to refined features that go beyond standard session tools, making it ideal for multi-market strategies.
How It's Built: Core Concepts and Calculations
The indicator leverages a modular approach to session detection, drawing from time-based logic for precision. Sessions are defined by fixed start/end times in their native timezones (e.g., NYSE: 0930-1600 America/New_York), adjusted dynamically for DST via timezone-aware functions. Key components include:
Session Activation Checks: Using helper functions like f_isSessionActive, it evaluates if the current bar or real-time timestamp falls within session hours, excluding weekends. Time is broken into minutes since midnight for comparisons, with special handling for overnight sessions (though none here cross midnight significantly).
Holiday and Half-Day Integration: Pre-loaded holiday maps for each exchange detect full closures or early closes (e.g., NYSE half-days end at custom times like 1300). If a half-day is identified, session end times are overridden, and pre-close periods recalculated (e.g., 30/5 minutes before adjusted close).
Pre-Open/Pre-Close Detection: Sub-sessions (e.g., 30 minutes before open) use similar logic to flag impending events, triggering only on the first bar of these windows via f_SessionOpen and f_SessionClose for efficiency.
Timestamp Calculations: Functions like f_SessionTimes and f_SessionTimesForTooltip compute open/close timestamps from timenow, adjusting for next trading day if after close or on weekends/holidays. This ensures forward-looking accuracy in tooltips.
Alert System: Configurable per-session, it fires notifications for pre-open (30/5 min), open, pre-close (30/5 min), close, and holidays. Alerts use alert.freq_once_per_bar to avoid spam, gated by market open status.
Visual Dashboard: A 6-column table is drawn with table.new, positioned via input (default bottom-center). Cells update colors based on state: active (session color at 75% opacity), pre-active (yellow), or inactive (gray). Tooltips via f_getSessionTooltip compile weekly schedules using f_formatScheduleEntry, which converts session times to user timezone, formats dates (DD/MM), weekdays (padded for alignment), and notes holidays/early closes. Time remaining uses f_formatTimeRemainingtooltip for human-readable countdowns (e.g., "1h:30m").
Background Coloring: On ≤1m timeframes, bgcolor applies session-specific hues (e.g., green for NYSE) at 90-95% transparency, configurable via light/dark themes.
User Customization: Inputs handle timezone (90+ options with DST), time format (standard/military, though not fully implemented in script), device (adjusts text padding/sizes), and theme (swaps colors for readability).
This setup combines timestamp arithmetic, conditional mapping, and array-based date iteration to create a robust, adaptive system that respects global market nuances without relying on simplistic built-in session strings.
Why It's Useful
Trading sessions drive liquidity, volatility, and price action—e.g., London open often sparks trends in forex, while NYSE influences equities. This indicator demystifies these by providing at-a-glance visuals and alerts, reducing the need for manual timezone conversions or external calendars. Background colors on low TFs help spot session overlaps (e.g., London/NY for high volume), while the table's tooltips offer quick weekly overviews, ideal for planning around holidays like Lunar New Year (HKSE-specific additions). Alerts prevent missing key events, and holiday detection avoids false expectations during closures.
For global traders, it minimizes errors in multi-asset setups; scalpers benefit from pre-open warnings, while swing traders use schedules for longer-term context. Its non-intrusive design (transparent on higher TFs) keeps charts clean, enhancing overall workflow efficiency.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Access via invite-only on TradingView; apply to any timeframe, best on intraday for backgrounds or any for the dashboard.
Configure Inputs:
Time Settings: Select your timezone (e.g., UTC+3 Jerusalem) for accurate tooltip conversions; choose time format (standard preferred for readability).
Visualization Setup: Pick device (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile) for optimized text sizing/padding; select Light/Dark theme to match your chart.
Sessions Dashboard: Adjust table position if needed (default bottom-center).
Notifications Settings: Toggle alerts per exchange (e.g., enable NYSE for US focus).
Trading Application:
Visual Cues: On ≤1m charts, watch for color changes to enter/exit during active sessions. Hover table cells for schedules—current day highlighted, future/past separated, holidays marked (*).
Alerts: Set up in TradingView's alert manager for "alert() function calls only" to get notifications like "New York Session is about to Open in less than 5 minutes!"
Strategies: Use pre-open for setups (e.g., range breaks), closes for profit-taking. Combine with volume indicators during overlaps.
Best Practices: Test on demo; adjust alerts to avoid overload. For non-realtime, tooltips use current date for projections.
Why It's Unique and Worth Invite-Only Access
Unlike basic session highlighters that use rigid time strings or ignore holidays, this indicator integrates a custom holiday library with half-day adjustments and additional events (e.g., Buddha's Birthday for HKSE), ensuring precision across exchanges. Its tooltip system—generating timezone-converted weekly schedules with day adjustments, countdowns, and holiday notes—provides unmatched planning utility, while adaptive visuals (device/theme-aware) and granular alerts (pre-events included) elevate it beyond public tools. The logic for timestamp forward-projection, weekend skipping, and formatted entries builds on but significantly enhances built-in functions and educational examples.
This originality—protecting the proprietary blend of global calendar handling, alert gating, and interactive dashboards—justifies closed-source status. As invite-only, it delivers premium value through reliable, low-maintenance features that free traders from external apps, warranting access for those seeking an edge in session-based trading.

LA - Opening Price based Previous day Range PivotThis "LA - Opening Price based Previous day Range Pivot" indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed for Trading View charts. It plots support and resistance levels (often referred to as pivots or ranges) based on the current opening price combined with the previous period's trading range. The "previous period" can be daily, weekly, or monthly, making it a multi-timeframe tool. These levels are projected using Fibonacci-inspired multipliers to create potential breakout or reversal zones.
The core idea is inspired by concepts like the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy or Fibonacci pivots, but it's customized here to use a dynamic range calculation (the maximum of several absolute price differences) rather than a simple high-low range. This makes it more robust for volatile markets. Levels are symmetric above (resistance) and below (support) the opening price, helping traders identify potential entry/exit points, stop-losses, or targets. This will be useful when there is a gap-up/down as in Nifty/Sensex .
Purpose of the Indicator:
To visualize potential support/resistance zones for the current trading session based on the opening price and historical range data. This helps traders anticipate price movements, such as breakouts above resistance or bounces off support
Use Cases:
Intraday Trading: On lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min charts), it shows daily levels for short-term trades.
Swing Trading: On higher timeframes (e.g., hourly or daily), it displays weekly/monthly levels for longer holds.
Range Identification: The filled bands highlight "zones" where price might consolidate or reverse.
Conditional Display: Levels only appear on appropriate timeframes (e.g., daily levels on intraday charts <60min), preventing clutter.
Theoretical Basis: It builds on pivot point theory, where the opening price acts as a central pivot. Multipliers (e.g., 0.618 for Fibonacci golden ratio) project levels, assuming price often respects these ratios due to market psychology.
How Calculations Work
Let's dive into the math with examples. Assume a stock with:
Current daily open (cdo) = $100
Previous daily high (pdh) = $105, low (pdl) = $95, close (pdc) = $102, close 2 days ago (pdc2) = $98
Step 1: Dynamic Range Calculation (var_d2):
This is the max of:
|pdh - pdc2| = |105 - 98| = 7
|pdl - pdc2| = |95 - 98| = 3
|pdh - pdl| = |105 - 95| = 10 (previous day range)
|pdh - cdo| = |105 - 100| = 5
|pdl - cdo| = |95 - 100| = 5
|pdc - cdo| = |102 - 100| = 2
|pdc2 - cdo| = |98 - 100| = 2
Max = 10 (so range = 10). This ensures the range accounts for gaps and extended moves, not just high-low.
Step 2: Level Projections:
Resistance (above open): Open + (Range * Multiplier)
dre6 = 100 + (10 * 1.5) = 115
dre5 = 100 + (10 * 1.27) ≈ 112.7
... down to dre0 = 100 + (10 * 0.1) = 101
dre50 = 100 + (10 * 0.5) = 105 (midpoint)
Support (below open): Open - (Range * Multiplier)
dsu0 = 100 - (10 * 0.1) = 99
... up to dsu6 = 100 - (10 * 1.5) = 85

Pros and Cons
Pros:
Multi-Timeframe Flexibility: Seamlessly integrates daily, weekly, and monthly levels, useful for aligning short-term trades with longer trends (e.g., intraday breakout confirmed by weekly support).
Dynamic Range Calculation: Unlike standard pivots (just (H+L+C)/3), it uses max of multiple diffs, capturing gaps/volatility better—great for stocks with overnight moves.
Customizable via Inputs: Users can toggle levels, adjust multipliers, or change timeframes without editing code. Inline inputs keep the UI clean.
Visual Aids: Filled bands make zones obvious; conditional colors highlight "tight" vs. "wide" ranges (e.g., for volatility assessment).
Fibonacci Integration: Levels based on proven ratios, appealing to technical traders. Symmetric supports/resistances simplify strategy building (e.g., buy at support, sell at resistance).
No Repainting: Uses historical data with lookahead, so levels are fixed once calculated—reliable for back-testing.
Cons:
Chart Clutter: With all toggles on, 50+ plots/fills can overwhelm the chart, especially on mobile or small screens. Requires manual disabling.
Complexity for Beginners: Many inputs and calculations; without understanding fib ratios or range logic, it might confuse new users.
Performance Overhead: On low timeframes (e.g., 1-min), fetching higher TF data multiple times could lag, especially with many symbols or back-tests.
Assumes Volatility Persistence: Relies on previous range projecting future moves; in low-vol markets (e.g., sideways trends), levels may be irrelevant or too wide/narrow.
No Alerts or Signals: Purely visual; no built-in buy/sell alerts or crossover conditions—users must add separately.
Hardcoded Styles/Colors: Limited customization without code edits (e.g., can't change line styles via inputs).
Also, not optimized for non-stock assets (e.g., forex with 24/7 trading).
In summary, this is a versatile pivot tool for range-based trading based on Opening price, excelling in volatile markets but requiring some setup. If you're using it, start with defaults on a daily chart and toggle off unnecessary levels.
