Opening Range {basic}Introduction
Opening range {basic} is a clean and reliable indicator designed to help traders visualize the opening range of a trading session with minimal setup and visual clutter.
This version focuses on the core components of opening range analysis, making it ideal for traders who want a simple, effective framework for identifying early-session structure across futures, forex and crypto markets.
Description
The indicator automatically calculates the opening range high, low and midpoint over a user-defined opening window (5m, 15m, 30m or 60m) within a selected trading session (default: NY session).
During the opening range window, the indicator dynamically tracks price to form the range. Once the opening range is complete, the high, low and midpoint are extended forward for the remainder of the session, providing clear reference levels that can be used for bias, mean reversion or breakout-based decision making.
A shaded fill highlights the opening range area, with an optional size display showing the total range in price units. Styling and logic are intentionally simplified to keep the chart clean and easy to interpret.

NeuraEdge ORB - Opening Range Breakout IndicatorOVERVIEW
NeuraEdge ORB is an open-source Opening Range Breakout indicator that automates the classic 15-minute ORB strategy. The indicator tracks the first 15 minutes of market action (9:30-9:45 AM ET), identifies breakouts above or below this range, and generates trading signals with automated stop loss and take profit calculations.
The Opening Range Breakout concept is based on the observation that the initial price action after market open often establishes directional bias for the trading session, as institutional order flow and overnight gap reactions manifest during this window.
CORE METHODOLOGY
Opening Range Construction:
The indicator uses session-based time detection to identify the 9:30-9:45 AM Eastern Time window. During this period, it tracks the highest high and lowest low to establish the opening range boundaries. The range is marked complete when the 15-minute window closes.
Calculation process:
OR High = Maximum high value during the 15-minute window
OR Low = Minimum low value during the 15-minute window
OR Midpoint = (OR High + OR Low) / 2
Range Size = OR High - OR Low (compared to 14-period ATR for context)
Breakout Detection:
The indicator identifies breakouts using close-price confirmation to reduce false signals from wicks:
Bullish breakout: Close above OR High (with previous close at or below OR High)
Bearish breakout: Close below OR Low (with previous close at or above OR Low)
The indicator tracks whether each direction has already broken to prevent duplicate signals on the same range.
Entry Type Logic:
Two entry methodologies are supported:
Breakout Mode - Signals immediately upon range break. Enters on the breakout bar when close confirms direction.
Retest Mode - Waits for price to break the range, then pullback to touch the range level before entering. Cancels if price moves too far beyond midpoint. This provides better entry prices with tighter stop losses.
Volume Confirmation:
Optional volume filter compares current bar volume to 20-period simple moving average. Requires volume > 1.2x average to validate breakout strength and filter low-conviction moves.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Integration:
Optional confluence filter that checks for unfilled FVG in the breakout direction:
Bullish FVG detected when: current bar's low > two bars ago high (creating gap)
Bearish FVG detected when: current bar's high < two bars ago low (creating gap)
Minimum FVG size: 0.3x ATR to filter noise
FVG considered filled when price retraces to gap midpoint
Signals only generate when an unfilled FVG exists in the breakout direction, adding institutional order flow confluence.
Risk Management Calculations:
Three stop loss placement methods:
Opposite Side - SL at opposite end of opening range (classic ORB approach)
Midpoint - SL at range midpoint (tighter risk, lower reward potential)
ATR Based - SL at 1.5x ATR from entry (adaptive to volatility)
Take profit calculated as: Entry ± (Entry - Stop Loss) × Risk:Reward Ratio
Default 1.5:1 R:R ratio, adjustable from 1.0 to 5.0.
Performance Tracking:
The indicator maintains a trade history using Pine Script's type system:
Records entry price, stop loss, take profit, and direction for each signal
Tracks outcome when price hits stop loss or take profit levels
Auto-closes after 80 bars if neither level hit
Calculates rolling win rate from last 50 trades maximum
Displays W/L record in real-time dashboard
VISUAL COMPONENTS
Opening Range Box:
Semi-transparent blue box drawn from range start bar to current bar + 20, showing the established range boundaries visually.
Range Levels:
Green line at OR High (potential long entry level)
Red line at OR Low (potential short entry level)
Gray dotted line at OR Midpoint (reference level)
All lines extend 50 bars forward for anticipation.
Trade Signals:
Green up arrow with "LONG ORB Break" label below price
Red down arrow with "SHORT ORB Break" label above price
Dashed lines showing SL and TP levels extending 30 bars
Small labels marking SL and TP endpoints
Real-Time Dashboard:
Top-right panel displaying:
OR formation status (Forming / Complete / Waiting)
Current OR High, Low, and Range size (with ATR multiple)
Breakout status (Long / Short / None)
Volume status (High / Normal)
FVG presence (Bull / Bear / None)
Entry settings (Breakout/Retest, R:R, SL type)
Win rate percentage and W/L record
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Ideal Market Conditions:
Liquid instruments: SPY, QQQ, IWM, high-volume stocks
Recommended timeframes: 1-minute or 5-minute charts for precise entries
Most effective during trending days with clear directional bias
Range size between 0.5-1.5x ATR typically provides best risk:reward
Usage Workflow:
Apply indicator at market open (9:30 AM ET)
Observe range formation during first 15 minutes
Wait for "Complete" status in dashboard
Monitor for breakout signals with volume/FVG confirmation
Enter on signal, place stop loss and take profit as marked
Avoid taking opposing signals on same day (trend following approach)
Retest vs Breakout Selection:
Use Breakout mode on high-momentum days with strong overnight gaps
Use Retest mode on slower days or when seeking better entry prices
Retest mode reduces signal frequency but improves entry quality
Time-of-Day Considerations:
The indicator includes a trading cutoff setting (default 3:00 PM ET) to avoid late-day chop and reduced liquidity. First-hour breakouts (10:00-11:00 AM) historically show strongest follow-through.
SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION
Display Options:
Toggle signals, opening range box, and dashboard independently
Clean visual design to reduce chart clutter
Opening Range Settings:
Opening range duration (5-60 minutes in 5-minute increments)
Default 15 minutes aligns with classic ORB methodology
Trading cutoff hour (10-16, representing 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM ET)
Entry Configuration:
Entry type (Breakout / Retest)
Volume confirmation toggle (requires 1.2x average volume)
FVG confluence toggle (requires unfilled gap in breakout direction)
Risk Management:
Stop loss placement (Opposite Side / Midpoint / ATR Based)
Risk:reward ratio (1.0 - 5.0, default 1.5)
Future: Trail stop after partial TP (currently placeholder)
Alert System:
Five alert conditions available:
Opening Range Complete
ORB Long Signal
ORB Short Signal
Breakout Up (range broken, regardless of signal)
Breakout Down (range broken, regardless of signal)
BEST PRACTICES
Recommended Usage:
Focus on highly liquid instruments with tight spreads
Use 1-5 minute charts for entry precision
Respect calculated stop losses (range defines maximum risk)
Typically 1-2 quality setups per day maximum
Consider overall market trend (SPY/QQQ direction)
Risk Considerations:
Very small ranges (< 0.3x ATR) prone to false breakouts
Very large ranges (> 2x ATR) may indicate gap day requiring adjusted expectations
Low volume breakouts fail more frequently
Avoid trading both directions on same day (pick strongest setup)

SA_ORB_ONR_CLOUD_vwapBandsSIGNAL ARCHITECT™ — ORB / ONR Cloud with VWAP Bands
Optimized for the 15-Minute Timeframe
Overview
The Signal Architect™ ORB / ONR Cloud is a session-structure and probability framework designed to help traders understand where price is statistically compressed, transitioning, or escaping value during the regular trading session.
On the 15-minute chart, this study excels at identifying:
High-probability consolidation zones
Early session directional intent
Fade vs continuation environments
Context for VWAP-based mean reversion or trend extension
Rather than predicting price, the indicator classifies market behavior using time-anchored ranges and volume-weighted statistics.
Core Components (15-Minute Context)
1️⃣ Overnight Range (ONR)
The Overnight Range captures price extremes formed before the regular session opens.
On the 15-minute timeframe, ONR acts as:
A higher-timeframe reference level
A source of institutional liquidity memory
A boundary where early session reactions often occur
2️⃣ Opening Range (ORB)
The Opening Range is defined as the first X minutes after the session open (default: 15 minutes).
On a 15-minute chart:
The ORB often forms entirely within a single candle
It represents initial institutional positioning
It helps differentiate initiative vs responsive behavior
3️⃣ ORB–ONR Cloud (Key Feature)
The Cloud is the overlapping area between the Overnight Range and the Opening Range.
This zone is critical on the 15-minute timeframe because it often represents:
Compressed auction
Balance / indecision
Liquidity absorption
Interpretation:
Price inside the cloud → Higher probability of consolidation, fade, or contraction
Price exiting the cloud → Transition toward expansion or trend resolution
The cloud is not a signal — it is a probability environment.
4️⃣ VWAP with Session-Weighted σ Bands
The study plots VWAP starting from the regular session open, along with true volume-weighted standard deviation bands (±1σ, ±2σ).
On the 15-minute timeframe:
VWAP defines fair value
σ bands help distinguish normal rotation vs statistical extension
Interaction with VWAP while inside the cloud often suggests mean-reverting conditions
Interaction with VWAP after leaving the cloud often confirms trend continuation
5️⃣ Breakout Classification (BRK)
A BRK event occurs when price closes outside BOTH:
The Overnight Range
The Opening Range
On the 15-minute chart:
BRK events often mark session regime changes
They are contextual markers, not entries
Arrows are color-matched to the candle (green candle → green arrow, red candle → red arrow)
To avoid clutter, breakouts can be limited to first-occurrence only.
Probability Layer (15-Minute Edge)
The indicator includes rolling probability calculations to quantify market behavior:
📊 Inside-Cloud Probability
Shows how often price remains inside the ORB–ONR cloud over the selected lookback.
Higher values → balance / compression dominant
Lower values → trend / expansion dominant
📉 Fade / Contraction Probability (Inside Cloud)
When price is inside the cloud, the study measures volatility contraction using ATR behavior.
Higher contraction % → Greater likelihood of rotation or fade
Lower contraction % → Cloud acting as launchpad rather than balance
📈 State Occupancy (5-State Model)
Tracks how price distributes its time across:
Above both ranges
Below both ranges
Inside ORB only
Inside ONR only
Inside the Cloud
This helps traders understand where the market statistically prefers to trade on the 15-minute structure.
Best Use Cases (15-Minute Chart)
✔ Contextual bias for intraday swing trades
✔ Identifying fade vs trend conditions
✔ VWAP-based execution alignment
✔ Avoiding low-probability entries inside compression
✔ Session structure awareness without lower-timeframe noise
What This Indicator Is NOT
❌ Not a buy/sell system
❌ Not predictive
❌ Not a guarantee of outcomes
It is a market structure and probability framework — designed to improve decision quality, not replace risk management.
Recommended Settings (15-Minute)
ORB Length: 15 minutes
VWAP Bands: ±1σ / ±2σ
Probability Lookback: 100–200 bars
Breakout Mode: First-occurrence only
Cloud Enabled: Yes

ORB Session BreakoutORB Session Breakout
Overview
The ORB Session Breakout indicator automatically identifies Opening Range Breakouts across multiple trading sessions (Asia, London, and New York) and provides visual trade setups with entry, stop loss, and take profit levels.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is a classic trading strategy that captures momentum when price breaks out of an initial trading range established at the start of a session. This indicator automates the entire process - from detecting the opening range to plotting trade setups when breakouts occur.
🎯 Key Features
Multi-Session Support
Asia Session - Captures the Asian market open (default: 19:00-19:15 NY time)
London Session - Captures the London market open (default: 03:00-03:15 NY time)
New York Session - Captures the NY market open (default: 09:30-09:45 NY time)
Each session is fully customizable with independent time windows and colors
Enable/disable individual sessions based on your trading preferences
Automatic Trade Visualization
Entry Level - Marked at the breakout candle close
Stop Loss Zone - Configurable as ORB High/Low or Breakout Candle High/Low
Take Profit Zone - Calculated automatically based on your Risk:Reward ratio
Visual zones make it easy to see risk/reward at a glance
Smart Breakout Detection
Detects breakouts on the exact candle that closes beyond the ORB range
Supports direction changes - if price breaks one way then reverses, a new trade is signaled
Configurable max breakouts per session (1-4) to control trade frequency
Tracking hours setting limits how long after the ORB to look for entries
Futures Compatible
Special detection logic for futures markets where session times may fall during market close
Works reliably on instruments with non-standard trading hours
📊 How It Works
Opening Range Formation
At the start of each enabled session, the indicator tracks the high and low of the first candle(s)
This range becomes your ORB box (displayed in the session color)
Breakout Detection
When a candle closes above the ORB High → LONG signal
When a candle closes below the ORB Low → SHORT signal
The breakout candle is highlighted in yellow (customizable)
Trade Setup Visualization
Entry line drawn at the breakout candle's close price
Stop Loss placed at ORB Low (longs) or ORB High (shorts) - or breakout candle extreme
Take Profit calculated as: Entry + (Risk × R:R Ratio) for longs
Direction Changes
If you're in a LONG and price closes below the ORB Low, the indicator signals a SHORT
This counts as your 2nd breakout (configurable up to 4 per session)
💡 Trading Tips
Best Practices
Wait for candle close - The indicator only signals on confirmed closes beyond the ORB, reducing false breakouts
Use with trend - ORB breakouts work best when aligned with the higher timeframe trend
Respect the levels - The ORB High/Low often act as support/resistance throughout the session
Monitor multiple sessions - Sometimes the best setups come from Asia or London, not just NY
Recommended Settings by Style
Conservative: Max Breakouts = 1, R:R = 2.0+, SL Mode = ORB Level
Aggressive: Max Breakouts = 3-4, R:R = 1.5, SL Mode = Breakout Candle
Scalping: Shorter tracking hours (1-2), tighter R:R (1.0-1.5)
What to Avoid
Trading ORB breakouts during major news events (high volatility can cause whipsaws)
Taking every signal without considering market context
Using on timeframes higher than 1 hour (the ORB concept works best intraday)
🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
Entry Signal - When a breakout is detected (LONG or SHORT)
Take Profit Hit - When price reaches the TP level
Stop Loss Hit - When price reaches the SL level
To set up alerts: Right-click on the chart → Add Alert → Select "ORB Session Breakout"
📝 Notes
This indicator is designed for intraday trading on timeframes up to 1 hour
Session times are based on the selected timezone (default: America/New_York)
The indicator works on all markets including Forex, Futures, Stocks, and Crypto
For futures with non-standard hours, the indicator includes special detection logic
ORB W/ Custom time FramesRelease Notes: Simplified ORB (Opening Range Breakout)
This indicator is a streamlined, high-performance tool designed to identify the Opening Range—one of the most widely used concepts by professional floor traders and institutional scalpers. It marks the high, low, and midpoint of the initial balance of the market, providing you with a "map" for the rest of the trading session.
Key Features
Customizable Timeframes: Define your opening range window (e.g., the first 5, 15, or 30 minutes) regardless of what timeframe you are currently viewing.
Custom Session Support: Choose between standard market hours (09:30–16:00) or define your own custom window (e.g., the London Open or the first hour of "Power Hour").
Real-Time Midpoint Calculation: Automatically plots the 50% Equilibrium level between the high and low, serving as a pivot point for intraday bias.
Dynamic Updating: During the ORB window, the lines adjust in real-time as new highs or lows are set. Once the window expires, the levels lock in place to act as support and resistance.
Clean Visuals: Utilizes a lightweight line drawing system that is easy on your GPU and keeps the chart clutter-free.
Why This is Essential for Scalping
Scalpers rely on volatility and clear "lines in the sand." The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) provides exactly that:
The "Opening Drive": If price breaks the ORB High with high volume, scalpers look for quick "long" momentum plays. Conversely, a break below the ORB Low signals a bearish trend.
The Midpoint Pivot: The 50% level (Mid) is often treated as the "Fair Value" of the morning. If price is above the mid, the bias is bullish; if below, the bias is bearish.
Stop Loss / Take Profit Anchor: The ORB High and Low act as natural areas for placing stops or targets. A failed breakout that returns inside the range often targets the opposite side of the box.

OVERVIEW
This indicator draws the Opening Range for the U.S. Regular Trading Hours session starting at 9:30 AM New York time. It plots the Opening Range High, Low, and Midpoint, and can extend those levels for the rest of the session. It also displays the Opening Range size in points and ticks.
WHAT IT DRAWS
• Opening Range box for the first N minutes of RTH (ex: 5, 10, 15)
• OR High (ORH)
• OR Low (ORL)
• OR Midline (midpoint of ORH/ORL)
• Opening Range value label (range in points + ticks)
KEY FEATURES
• Time-anchored drawings (bar_time) so levels stay accurate on any intraday timeframe
• Configurable Opening Range length in minutes
• Configurable box fill/border colors
• Independent styling for OR High / OR Low / Midline (color, width, line style)
• Line extension modes:
Line extension modes
- To RTH Close
- Right Forever
- For N Minutes
- None
Optional label placement to the LEFT of the Opening Range so it doesn’t block new candles
Option to keep previous sessions’ Opening Ranges visible for context
BEST FOR
• Futures: ES / NQ / MNQ (and other RTH-based products)
• Intraday stocks and ETFs
• OR breakout, rejection/fade, and mean reversion workflows
NOTES
• Intended for intraday charts
• Opening Range is calculated strictly inside the selected time window (no extra bars)
• Session is America/New_York, 09:30–16:00
Opening Range candle percent of ATRIt takes the opening range of the first candle - 5, 10, 15 or whatever minute - and finds what percent of the ATR that is. So if the opening candle high is 15 and low is 14, its range is 1. If the ATR (daily or whatever you want) is 2, then the opening candle's range is 50% of the ATR.
The percentage is displayed on right in a blue box.
The indicator is used in reversal strategies, since opening candles that eat up a large amount of the daily ATR have a higher probability of reversing.

Hybrid Strategy: Trend/ORB/MTFHybrid Strategy: Trend + ORB + Multi-Timeframe Matrix
This script is a comprehensive "Trading Manager" designed to filter out noise and identify high-probability breakout setups. It combines three powerful concepts into a single, clean chart interface: Trend Alignment, Opening Range Breakout (ORB), and Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis.
It is designed to prevent "analysis paralysis" by providing a unified Dashboard that confirms if the trend is aligned across 5 different timeframes before you take a trade.
How it Works
The strategy relies on the "Golden Trio" of confluence:
1. Trend Definition (The Setup) Before looking for entries, the script analyzes the immediate trend. A bullish trend is defined as:
Price is above the Session VWAP.
The fast EMA (9) is above the slow EMA (21). (The inverse applies for bearish trends).
2. The Signal (The Trigger) The script draws the Opening Range (default: first 15 minutes of the session).
Buy Signal: Price breaks above the Opening Range High while the Trend is Bullish.
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the Opening Range Low while the Trend is Bearish.
3. The Confirmation (The Filter) A signal is only valid if the Higher Timeframe (default: 60m) agrees with the direction. If the 1m chart says "Buy" but the 60m chart is bearish, the signal is filtered out to prevent false breakouts.
Key Features
The Matrix Dashboard A zero-lag, real-time table in the corner of your screen that monitors 5 user-defined timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 4H).
Trend: Checks if Price > EMA 21.
VWAP: Checks if Price > VWAP.
ORB: Checks if Price is currently above/below the Opening Range of that session.
D H/L: Warns if price is near the Daily High or Low.
PD H/L: Warns if price is near the Previous Daily High or Low.
Visual Order Blocks The script automatically identifies valid Order Blocks (sequences of consecutive candles followed by a strong explosive move).
Chart: Draws Green/Red zones extending to the right, showing where price may react.
Dashboard: Displays the exact High, Low, and Average price of the most recent Order Blocks for precision planning.
Risk Management (Trailing Stop) Once a trade is active, the script plots Chandelier Exit dots (ATR-based trailing stop) to help you manage the trade and lock in profits during trend runs.

Open Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB)
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a classic intraday strategy used across stocks, indices, FX and futures. It focuses on how price behaves during the first minutes of a major session, when liquidity and volatility are highest.
This indicator fully automates the ORB process with session detection, box drawing, breakout & retest logic, and final Buy/Sell signals.
Multi-Session Support
Choose between the three most important global opens:
Asia (Tokyo) – JPY pairs, Asian indices, gold, crypto
London – FX majors, European indices, strong volatility
New York – US indices, USD pairs, gold, oil, highest volume
The Opening Range is calculated only during the selected session.
ORB Range (5 / 15 / 30 min)
The indicator builds the ORB High/Low from the first X minutes of the session, draws the box, and waits for price action once the range is complete.
How It Works
ORB Window → High/Low of the opening minutes are recorded.
Breakout → Price closes above/below the ORB → “BREAKOUT” label.
Retest → Price returns to the ORB box → “RETEST” label.
Confirmation Levels Freeze → Upper/lower structure set.
Final Signal
Close above frozen upper level → BUY
Close below frozen lower level → SELL
This filters out false breakouts and provides structured continuation signals.
Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions for:
ORB BUY Signal
ORB SELL Signal
Alerts trigger exactly when the Buy or Sell label appears.

Session Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework - TrendPredator OBSession Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework — TrendPredator Open Box
Stacey Burke’s trading approach combines concepts from George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His framework focuses on reading price behaviour across daily templates and identifying how markets move through recurring cycles of expansion, contraction, and reversal. While effective, much of this analysis requires real-time interpretation of session-based behaviour, which can be demanding for traders working on lower intraday timeframes.
The TrendPredator indicators formalize parts of this methodology by introducing mechanical rules for multi-timeframe bias tracking and session structure analysis. They aim to present the key elements of the system—bias, breakouts, fakeouts, and range behaviour—in a consistent and objective way that reduces discretionary interpretation.
The Open Box indicator focuses specifically on the opening behaviour of major trading sessions. It builds on principles found in classical Open Range Breakout (ORB) techniques described by Tony Crabel, where a defined time window around the session open forms a structural reference range. Price behaviour relative to this range—breaking out, failing back inside, or expanding—can highlight developing session bias, potential trap formation, and directional conviction.
This indicator applies these concepts throughout the major equity sessions. It automatically maps the session’s initial range (“Open Box”) and tracks how price interacts with it as liquidity and volatility increase. It also incorporates related structural references such as:
* the first-hour high and low of the futures session
* the exact session open level
* an anchored VWAP starting at the session open
* automated expansion levels projected from the Open Box
In combination, these components provide a unified view of early session activity, including breakout attempts, fakeouts, VWAP reactions, and liquidity targeting. The Open Box offers a structured lens for observing how price transitions through the major sessions (Asia → London → New York) and how these behaviours relate to higher-timeframe bias defined in the broader TrendPredator framework.
Core Features
Open Box (Session Structure)
The indicator defines an initial session range beginning at the selected session open. This “Open Box” represents a fixed time window—commonly the first 30 minutes, or any user-defined duration—that serves as a structural reference for analysing early session behaviour.
The range highlights whether price remains inside the box, breaks out, or rejects the boundaries, providing a consistent foundation for interpreting early directional tendencies and recognising breakout, continuation, or fakeout characteristics.
How it works:
* At the session open, the indicator calculates the high and low over the specified time window.
* This range is plotted as the initial structure of the session.
* Price behaviour at the boundaries can illustrate emerging bias or potential trap formation.
* An optional secondary range (e.g., 15-minute high/low) can be enabled to capture early volatility with additional precision.
Inputs / Options:
* Session specifications (Tokyo, London, New York)
* Open Box start and end times (e.g., equity open + first 30 minutes, or any custom length)
* Open Box colour and label settings
* Formatting options for Open Box high and low lines
* Optional secondary range per session (e.g., 15-minute high/low)
* Forward extension of Open Box high/low lines
* Number of historic Open Boxes to display
Session VWAPs
The indicator plots VWAPs for each major trading session—Asia, London, and New York—anchored to their respective session opens. These session-specific VWAPs assist in tracking how value develops through the day and how price interacts with session-based volume distributions.
How it works:
* At each session open, a VWAP is anchored to the open price.
* The VWAP updates throughout the session as new volume and price data arrive.
* Deviations above or below the VWAP may indicate balance, imbalance, or directional control.
* Viewed together, session VWAPs help identify transitions in value across sessions.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable VWAP per session
* Adjustable anchor and end times (optionally to end of day)
* Line styling and label settings
* Number of historic VWAPs to draw
First Hour High/Low Extensions
The indicator marks the high and low formed during the first hour of each session. These reference points often function as early control levels and provide context for assessing whether the session is establishing bias, consolidating, or exhibiting reversal behaviour.
How it works:
* After the session starts, the indicator records the highest and lowest prices during the first hour.
* These levels are plotted and extended across the session.
* They provide a visual reference for observing reactions, targets, or rejection zones.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable for each session
* Line style, colour, and label visibility
* Number of historic sessions displayed
EQO Levels (Equity Open)
The indicator plots the opening price of each configured session. These “Equity Open” levels represent short-term reference points that can attract price early in the session.
Once the level is revisited after the Open Box has formed, it is automatically cut to avoid clutter. If not revisited, the line remains as an untested reference, similar to a naked point of control.
How it works:
* At session open, the open price is recorded.
* The level is plotted as a local reference.
* If price interacts with the level after the Open Box completes, the line is cut.
* Untested EQOs extend forward until interacted with.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Line style and label settings
* Optional extension into the next day
* Option for cutting vs. hiding on revisit
* Number of historic sessions displayed
OB Range Expansions (Automatic)
Range expansions are calculated from the height of the Open Box. These levels provide structured reference zones for identifying potential continuation or exhaustion areas within a session.
How it works:
* After the Open Box is formed, multiples of the range (e.g., 1×, 2×, 3×) are projected.
* These expansion levels are plotted above and below the range.
* Price reactions near these areas can illustrate continuation, hesitation, or potential reversal.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable per session
* Select number of multiples
* Line style, colour, and label settings
* Extension length into the session
Stacey Burke 12-Candle Window Marker
The indicator can highlight the 12-candle window often referenced in Stacey Burke’s session methodology. This window represents the key active period of each session where breakout attempts, volatility shifts, and reversal signatures often occur.
How it works:
* A configurable window (default 12 candles) is highlighted from each session open.
* This window acts as a guide for observing active session behaviour.
* It remains visible throughout the session for structural context.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Configurable window duration (default: 3 hours)
* Colour and transparency controls
Concept and Integration
The Open Box is built around the same multi-timeframe logic that underpins the broader TrendPredator framework.
While higher-timeframe tools track bias and setups across the H8–D–W–M levels, the Open Box focuses on the H1–M30 domain to define session structure and observe how early intraday behaviour aligns with higher-timeframe conditions.
The indicator integrates with the TrendPredator FO (Breakout, Fakeout & Trend Switch Detector), which highlights microstructure signals on lower timeframes (M15/M5). Together they form a layered workflow:
* Higher timeframes: context, bias, and developing setups
* TrendPredator OB: intraday and intra-session structure
* TrendPredator FO: microstructure confirmation (e.g., FOL/FOH, switches)
This alignment provides a structured way to observe how daily directional context interacts with intraday behaviour.

Practical Application
Before Session Open
* Review previous session Open Box, Open level, and VWAPs
* Assess how higher-timeframe bias aligns with potential intraday continuation or reversal
* Note untested EQO levels or VWAPs that may function as liquidity attractors
During Session Open
* Observe behaviour around the first-hour high/low and higher-timeframe reference levels
* Monitor how the M15 and 30-minute ranges close
* Track reactions relative to the session open level and the session VWAP
After the Open Box completes
* Assess price interaction with Open Box boundaries and first-hour levels
* Use microstructure signals (e.g., FOH/FOL, switches) for potential confirmation
* Refer to expansion levels as reference zones for management or target setting
After Session
* Review how price behaved relative to the Open Box, EQO levels, VWAPs, and expansion zones
* Analyse breakout attempts, fakeouts, and whether intraday structure aligned with the broader daily move
Example Workflow and Trade
1. Higher-timeframe analysis signals a Daily Fakeout Low Continuation (bullish context).
2. The New York session forms an Open Box; price breaks above and holds above the first-hour high.
3. A Fakeout Low + Switch Bar appears on M5 (via FO), after retesting the session VWAP triggering the entry.
4. 1x expansion level serves as reference targets for take profit.
Relation to the TrendPredator Ecosystem
The Open Box is part of the TrendPredator Indicator Family, designed to apply multi-timeframe logic consistently across:
* higher-timeframe context and setups
* intraday and session structure (OB)
* microstructure confirmation (FO)
Together, these modules offer a unified structure for analysing how daily and intraday cycles interact.
