HOW IT WORKS
───────────────────────────────────────
OPENING RANGE BREAKOUT (ORB):
Concept:
The Opening Range is a period at the start of a trading session where price establishes an initial high and low. Breakouts beyond this range often indicate the direction of the day's trend.
Detection Method:
- Default: 15-minute opening range (configurable)
- Custom Range: Set specific session times with timezone support
- Automatically identifies ORH (Opening Range High) and ORL (Opening Range Low)
- Tracks ORB mid-point for reference
Range Establishment:
1. Session starts (or custom time begins)
2. Tracks highest high and lowest low during the period
3. Range confirmed at end of opening period
4. Levels extend throughout the session
Breakout Detection:
- Bullish Breakout: Close above ORH
- Bearish Breakout: Close below ORL
- Mid-point acts as bias indicator
Visual Display:
- Shaded box during range formation
- Horizontal lines for ORH, ORL, and mid-point
- Labels showing level values
- Color-coded fills based on selected method
Fill Color Methods:
1. Session Comparison:
- Green: Current OR mid > Previous OR mid
- Red: Current OR mid < Previous OR mid
- Gray: Equal or first session
- Shows day-over-day momentum
2. Breakout Direction (Recommended):
- Green: Price currently above ORH (bullish breakout)
- Red: Price currently below ORL (bearish breakout)
- Gray: Price inside range (no breakout)
- Real-time breakout status
MULTI-TIMEFRAME LIQUIDITY:
Two-Tier System for comprehensive level identification:
HTF (Higher Timeframe) Key Liquidity:
- Default: 4H timeframe (configurable to Daily, Weekly)
- Identifies major institutional levels
- Uses pivot detection with adjustable parameters
- Suitable for swing highs/lows where large orders rest
LTF (Lower Timeframe) Key Liquidity:
- Default: 1H timeframe (configurable)
- Provides precision entry/exit levels
- Finer granularity for intraday trading
- Captures minor swing points
Calculation Method:
- Pivot high/low detection algorithm
- Configurable left bars (lookback) and right bars (confirmation)
- Timeframe multiplier for accurate multi-timeframe detection
- Automatic level extension
Mitigation System:
- Tracks when levels are swept (broken)
- Configurable mitigation type: Wick or Close-based

Structure Labels ( HH / HL / LH / LL )Here’s a clean and efficient Pine Script (v5) code that automatically detects and labels Higher Highs ( HH ), Lower Highs ( LH ), Higher Lows ( HL ), and Lower Lows ( LL ) on your TradingView chart .
Trend scalping ROVTradingOnly trading with bullish or bearish trend. Working fine at m5 and m15 time frame
Gold H1 Breakout Failure (V11.0)This strategy is designed for trading XAU/USD (Gold) on the 1-hour timeframe. It identifies and trades fake breakouts of the Asian session range.
The logic is simple yet effective:
The script first marks the Asian session high and low.
Once price breaks out of this range and closes outside, it waits for confirmation by watching for price to close back inside the range.
When this re-entry occurs, the strategy takes a position in the opposite direction of the initial breakout, anticipating a false breakout or liquidity trap setup.
By focusing on these fakeouts, the strategy aims to capture reversal momentum after liquidity sweeps, making it especially effective during sessions when volatility transitions from Asia to London or New York.
Indian + Evening Session HighlighterThis indicator visually highlights two key trading windows for Indian instruments according to IST:
Indian Session: 9:00 AM to 11:30 PM IST is shaded light orange on the chart, representing the main domestic trading hours for stocks, indices, commodities, or derivatives.
Evening Session: 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM IST is shaded light red, marking the commonly followed evening window, which often captures the impact of US and European market movements.
The indicator automatically overlays these session backgrounds on your chart, helping you quickly identify when price action occurs during India’s core and evening trade windows. This allows traders to focus on strategies specific to these time intervals, identify session-based volatility, and avoid trading during less active periods. If the evening session overlaps with the Indian session, the colors are layered for visual clarity.
It is ideal for intraday traders, option strategists, and anyone monitoring Indian market rhythms or US-linked volatility impacts on Indian assets. No inputs are required; simply apply the script and view distinct session highlights for improved timing and decision making.

Nqaba Goldminer StrategyThis indicator plots the New York session key timing levels used in institutional intraday models.
It automatically marks the 03:00 AM, 10:00 AM, and 2:00 PM (14:00) New York times each day:
Vertical lines show exactly when those time windows open — allowing traders to identify major global liquidity shifts between London, New York, and U.S. session overlaps.
Horizontal lines mark the opening price of the 5-minute candle that begins at each of those key times, providing precision reference levels for potential reversals, continuation setups, and intraday bias shifts.
Users can customize each line’s color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), width, and horizontal-line length.
A history toggle lets you display all past occurrences or just today’s key levels for a cleaner chart.
These reference levels form the foundation for strategies such as:
London Breakout to New York Reversal models
Opening Range / Session Open bias confirmation
Institutional volume transfer windows (London → NY → Asia)
The tool provides a simple visual structure for traders to frame intraday decision-making around recurring institutional time events.

MTF 20 SMA Table - DXY**MTF 20 SMA Table - Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis Dashboard**
**Overview:**
This indicator provides a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis dashboard that displays the relationship between price and the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) across four key timeframes: 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and Daily. It's designed to help traders quickly identify trend alignment and potential trading opportunities across multiple timeframes at a glance. It's definitely not perfect but has helped me speed up my backtesting efforts as it's worked well for me eliminating flipping back and forth between timeframes excpet when I have confluence on the table, then I check the HTF.
**How It Works:**
The indicator creates a table overlay on your chart showing three critical metrics for each timeframe:
1. **Price vs SMA (Row 1):** Shows whether price is currently above (bullish) or below (bearish) the 20 SMA
- Green = Price Above SMA
- Red = Price Below SMA
2. **SMA Direction (Row 2):** Indicates the trend direction of the SMA itself over a lookback period
- Green (↗ Rising) = Uptrend
- Red (↘ Falling) = Downtrend
- Gray (→ Flat) = Ranging/Consolidation
3. **Strength (Row 3):** Displays the distance between current price and the SMA in pips
- Purple background = Strong move (>50 pips away)
- Orange background = Moderate move (20-50 pips)
- Gray background = Weak/consolidating (<20 pips)
- Text color: Green for positive distance, Red for negative
**Key Features:**
- **Customizable Table Position:** Place the table anywhere on your chart (9 position options)
- **Adjustable SMA Lengths:** Modify the SMA period for each timeframe independently (default: 20)
- **Direction Lookback Settings:** Fine-tune how far back the indicator looks to determine SMA direction for each timeframe
- **Flat Threshold:** Set the pip threshold for determining when an SMA is "flat" vs trending (default: 5 pips)
- **DXY Optimized:** Calculations are calibrated for the US Dollar Index (1 pip = 0.01)
**Best Use Cases:**
1. **Trend Alignment:** Identify when multiple timeframes align in the same direction for higher probability trades
2. **Divergence Spotting:** Detect when lower timeframes diverge from higher timeframes (potential reversals)
3. **Entry Timing:** Use lower timeframe signals while higher timeframes confirm overall trend
4. **Strength Assessment:** Gauge how extended price is from the mean (SMA) to avoid overextended entries
**Settings Guide:**
- **SMA Settings Group:** Adjust the SMA period for each timeframe (15M, 1H, 4H, Daily)
- **SMA Direction Group:** Control lookback periods to determine trend direction
- 15M: Default 5 candles
- 1H: Default 10 candles
- 4H: Default 15 candles
- Daily: Default 20 candles
- **Flat Threshold:** Set sensitivity for "flat" detection (lower = more sensitive to ranging markets)
**Trading Strategy Examples:**
1. **Trend Following:** Look for all timeframes showing the same direction (all green or all red)
2. **Pullback Trading:** When Daily/4H are green but 15M/1H show red, wait for lower timeframes to flip green for entry
3. **Ranging Markets:** When multiple SMAs show "flat", consider range-bound strategies
**Important Notes:**
- This is a reference tool only, not a standalone trading system
- Always use proper risk management and combine with other analysis methods
- Best suited for trending instruments like indices and major forex pairs
- Calculations are optimized for DXY but can be used on other instruments (pip calculations may need adjustment)

Z-Score Bands + SignalsZ-Score Statistical Market Analyzer
A multi-dimensional market structure indicator based on standardized deviation & regime logic
English Description
Concept
This indicator builds a statistical model of price behaviour by converting every candle’s movement into a Z-score — how many standard deviations each close is away from its moving average.
It visualizes the normal distribution structure of returns and provides adaptive entry signals for both Mean Reversion and Breakout regimes.
Rather than predicting price direction, it measures statistical displacement from equilibrium and dynamically adjusts the decision logic according to the market’s volatility regime.
⚙️ Main Components
Z-Score Bands (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ)
– The core structure visualizes volatility boundaries based on rolling mean and standard deviation.
– Price outside ±2σ often indicates statistical extremes.
Dual Signal Systems
Mean Reversion (MRL / MRS): when price (or return z-score) crosses back inside ±2σ bands.
Breakout (BOL / BOS): when price continues to expand beyond ±2σ.
Volatility Regime Classification
The indicator detects whether the market is currently in a low-vol or high-vol regime using percentile statistics of σ.
Low vol → Mean Reversion preferred
High vol → Breakout preferred
🧠 Adaptive Switches
A. Freeze MA/σ - Use previous-bar stats to avoid repainting and lag.
B. Confirm on Close - Only generate signals once the base-timeframe bar closes (eliminates look-ahead bias).
C. Return-based Signal - Use log-return Z-score instead of price deviation — normalizes volatility across assets.
D. Outlier Filter - Exclude bars with abnormal single-bar returns (e.g., >20%). Reduces false spikes.
E. Regime Gating - Automatically switch between Mean Reversion and Breakout logic depending on volatility percentile.
Each module can be toggled individually to test different statistical behaviours or tailor to a specific market condition.
📊 Interpretation
When the histogram of returns approximates a normal distribution, mean-reversion logic is often more effective.
When price persistently drifts beyond ±2σ or ±3σ, the distribution becomes leptokurtic (fat-tailed) — a breakout structure dominates.
Hence, this tool can help you:
Identify whether an asset behaves more “Gaussian” or “fat-tailed”;
Select the correct trading regime (MR or BO);
Quantitatively measure market tension and volatility clusters.
🧩 Recommended Use
Works on any timeframe and any asset.
Best used on liquid instruments (e.g., XAU/USD, indices, major FX pairs).
Combine with volume, sentiment or structural filters to confirm signals.
For strategy automation, pair with the companion script:
🧠 “Z-Score Strategy • Multi-Source Confirm (MRL/MRS/BOL/BOS)”.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This script is designed for educational and research purposes.
Statistical deviation ≠ directional prediction — use with sound risk management.
Past distribution patterns may shift under new volatility regimes.
==================================================================================
中文说明（简体）
概念简介
该指标基于价格的统计分布原理，将每根 K 线的波动转化为标准化的 Z-Score（标准差偏离值），用于刻画市场处于均衡或偏离状态。
它同时支持 均值回归（Mean Reversion） 与 突破延展（Breakout） 两种逻辑，并可根据市场波动结构自动切换策略模式。
⚙️ 主要功能模块
Z-Score 通道（±1σ / ±2σ / ±3σ）
用滚动均值与标准差动态绘制的统计波动带，价格超出 ±2σ 区域通常意味着极端偏离。
双信号系统
MRL / MRS（均值回归多空）：价格重新回到 ±2σ 以内时触发。
BOL / BOS（突破延展多空）：价格持续运行在 ±2σ 之外时触发。
波动率分层
自动识别市场处于高波动还是低波动区间：
低波动期 → 适合均值回归逻辑；
高波动期 → 适合突破趋势逻辑。
🧠 A–E 模块说明
A. 固定统计参数：使用上一根 K 线的均值和标准差，防止重绘。
B. 收盘确认信号：仅在当前时间框架收盘后生成信号，避免前视偏差。
C. 收益率信号模式：采用对数收益率的 Z-Score，更具普适性。
D. 异常波过滤：忽略单根极端波动（如 >20%）的噪声信号。
E. 波动率调节逻辑：根据市场处于高/低波动区间，自动切换 MRL/MRS 或 BOL/BOS。
📊 应用解读
如果收益率分布接近正态分布 → 市场倾向震荡，MRL/MRS 效果较佳；
若价格频繁偏离 ±2σ 或 ±3σ → 市场呈现“肥尾”分布，趋势延展占主导。
因此，该指标的核心目标是：
识别当前市场的统计结构类型；
根据波动特征自动切换交易逻辑；
提供结构化、可量化的市场状态刻画。
💡 使用建议
适用于所有时间框架与金融品种。
建议结合成交量或结构性指标过滤。
若用于策略回测，可搭配同名 “Z-Score Strategy • Multi-Source Confirm” 策略脚本。

Multi-Session Viewer and AnalyzerFully customizable multi-session viewer that takes session analysis to the next level. It allows you to fully customize each session to your liking. Includes a feature that highlights certain periods of time on the chart and a Time Range Marker.
It helps you analyze the instrument that you trade and pinpoint which times are more volatile than others. It also helps you choose the best time to trade your instrument and align your life schedule with the market.
NZDUSD Example:
- 3 major sessions displayed.
- Although this is NZDUSD, Sydney is not the best time to trade this pair. Volatility picks up at Tokyo open.
- I have time to trade in the evening from 18:00 to 22:00 PST. I live in a different time zone, whereas market is based on EST. How does the pair behave during the time I am available to trade based on my time zone? Time Range Marker feature allows you to see this clearly on the chart (black lines).
- I have some time in the morning to trade during New York session, but there is no way I am waking up at 05:00 PST. 06:30 PST seems doable. Blue highlighted area is good time to trade during New York session based on what Bob said. It seem like this aligns with when I am available and when I am able to trade. Volatility is also at its peak.
- I am also available to trade between London close and Tokyo open on some days of the week, but... based on what I see, green highlighted area is clearly showing that I probably don't want to waste my time trading this pair from London close and until Tokyo open. I will use this time for something else rather than be stuck in a range.

Forex Dynamic Lot Size CalculatorForex Dynamic Lot Size Calculator for Forex. Works on USD Base and USD Quote pairs. Provides real-time data based on stop-loss location. Allows you to know in real-time how the number of lots you need to purchase to match your risk %.
Number of Lots is calculated based on total risk. Total risk is calculated based on Stop-Loss + Commission + Spread Fees + Slippage measured in pips. Also includes data such as break-even pips, net take profit, margin required, buying power used, and a few others. All are real-time and anchored to the current price.
The intention of creating this indicator is to help with risk management. You know exactly how many lots you need to get this very moment to have your total risk at lets say $250, which includes commission fees, spread fees, and slippage.
To put it simply, if I was to enter the trade right now and willing to risk exactly $250, how many lots will I need to get right this second?

- To use adjust Account Settings along with other variables.
- Stop Loss Mode can be Manual or Dynamic. If you select Dynamic, then you will have to adjust Stop Loss Level to where you can see the reference line on the screen. It is at 1.1 by default. Just enter current price and the line will appear. Adjust it by dragging it to where you want your stop loss to be.
- Take Profit Mode can also be Manual or Dynamic. I just keep my TP at Manual and use Quick Access to set Quick RR levels.
- Adjust Spreads and Slippage to your liking. I tried to have TV calculate current spread, but it seem like it doesn't have access to real-life data for me like MT5 does. I just use average instead. Both are optional, depending on your broker and type of account you use.
- Pip Value for the current pair, Return on Margin, and Break-even line can be turned on and off, based on your needs. I just get the Break-even value in pips from the pannel and use that as reference where I need to relocate my stop loss to break-ever (commission + spreds + slippage).
- Panel is fully customizable based on your liking. Important fields are highlighted along with reference lines.
