Session Anchored OIWAP [Arjo]The Session Anchored OIWAP (Open Interest Weighted Average Price) indicator shows you a weighted average price that uses Open Interest (OI) changes during different trading sessions . It divides the day into four clear sessions: Opening Hour , Morning Session , Mid-Day Session , and Closing Session .
For each session , it calculates a weighted average price using both market price and open interest data from futures . This line updates as the session progresses and resets when a new session starts .
You can also see optional deviation bands that you visually compare to how far the market price is moving away from the session’s weighted average. This indicator also helps you watch how Open Interest changes connect with price movements during specific market hours.
Concepts
This tool works on a few simple ideas:
Session anchoring
Each session starts fresh. The indicator resets and begins a new calculation when a new time block begins. This allows users to visually study each session independently.
Open-interest weighting
Instead of treating all price moves equally, price changes linked to higher open-interest activity have more influence on the OIWAP. This gives a weighted reflection of where the market has been trading during the session.
Averaging and smoothing
The OIWAP line blends many price data points into one smooth curve, making it easier to follow than raw price movement.
Volatility display with bands
The upper and lower bands are placed at ±0.5 standard deviation from the OIWAP line. These bands simply help you see when price stretches further away than usual from the session average.
Features
Four Independent Session Calculations: Shows separate OIWAP lines for Opening Hour (default: 09:15-10:15), Morning (10:15-11:30), Mid-Day (11:30-14:00), and Closing (14:00-15:30) sessions
Open Interest Weighting: Uses absolute OI change as the weight instead of traditional volume
Customizable Session Times: You can change the time ranges for each session to match your market or what you need
Optional Deviation Bands: You can turn ±0.5 standard deviation bands on or off around each OIWAP line
Color-Coded Sessions: Each session has its own color so you can tell them apart easily
Selective Display: You can turn individual sessions and bands on or off
Data Availability Check: Shows you a notification when Open Interest data isn't available for your symbol
Adjustable Position Timeframe: You can calculate OI changes on different timeframes (Chart, Daily, 15min, 30min, 60min, 120min)
How to use
Add this indicator to a chart of any symbol that has Open Interest data ( from futures or derivatives contracts). Once you add it, you'll see colored lines showing the OIWAP for each session you enable, along with optional deviation bands.
Adjusting Settings:
Turn individual sessions on or off using the checkboxes in the " Sessions " section
Change session colors to match your chart or what looks good to you
Turn deviation bands on or off using the " Show Bands " option in the Display settings
Change session time ranges in the " Session Times " section to match your market hours or what you want to analyze
Change the Position Timeframe if you want to see OI changes calculated on a different time period
Visual Interpretation:
Each OIWAP line shows you the OI-weighted average price for that session
The deviation bands show you how much prices spread out, weighted by OI changes
You can watch how price interacts with these levels to see where significant OI activity happened
Different sessions may show different OIWAP levels, showing you how the OI-price relationship changes throughout the trading day
Note:
This indicator needs Open Interest data to work. If OI data isn't available for your symbol, you'll see a message in the center of your chart. This indicator works only with derivatives markets like futures and options in the Indian Market where OI data is publicly available.
Conclusion
The Session Anchored OIWAP indicator is designed to support structured market observation by combining price, open interest, and session anchoring into a clear visual format. It helps users study market behavior during different parts of the day without generating trading instructions or outcomes.

Opening-Range BreakoutNote: Default trading date range looks mediocre. Set date range to "Entire History" to see full effect of the strategy. 50.91% profitable trades, 1.178 profit factor, steady profits and limited drawdown. Total P&L: $154,141.18, Max Drawdown: $18,624.36. High R^2
█ Overview
The Opening-Range Breakout strategy is a mechanical, session‑based day‑trading system designed to capture the initial burst of directional momentum immediately following the market open. It defines a user‑configurable “opening range” window, measures its high and low boundaries, then places breakout stop orders at those levels once the range closes. Built‑in filters on minimum range width, reward‑to‑risk ratios, and optional reversal logic help refine entries and manage risk dynamically.
█ How It Works
Opening‑Range Formation
Between 9:30–10:15 AM ET (configurable), the script tracks the highest high and lowest low to form the day’s opening range box.
On the first bar after the range window closes, the range high (OR_high) and low (OR_low) are “locked in.”
Range‑Width Filter
To avoid false breakouts in low‑volatility mornings, the range must be at least X% of the current price (default 0.35%).
If the measured opening-range width < minimum threshold, no orders are placed that day.
Entry & Order Placement
Long: a stop‑buy order at the opening‑range high.
Short: a stop‑sell order at the opening‑range low.
Only one side can trigger (or both if reverse logic is enabled after a losing trade).
Risk Management
Once triggered, each trade uses an ATR‑style stop-loss defined as a percentage retracement of the range (default 50% of range width).
Profit target is set at a configurable Reward/Risk Ratio (default 1.1×).
Optional: Reverse on Stop‑Loss – if the initial breakout loses, immediately reverse into the opposite side on the same day.
Session Exit
Any open positions are closed at the end of the regular trading day (default 3:45 PM ET window end, with hard flat at session close).
Visual cues are provided via green (range high) and red (range low) step‑line plots directly on the chart, allowing you to see the range box and breakout triggers in real time.
█ Why It Works
Early Momentum Capture: The first 15 – 60 minutes of trading encapsulate overnight news digestion and institutional order flow, creating a well‑defined volatility “range.”
Mechanical Discipline: Clear, rule‑based entries and exits remove emotional guesswork, ensuring consistency.
Volatility Filtering: By requiring a minimum range width, the system avoids choppy, low‑range days where false breakouts are common.
Dynamic Sizing: Stops and targets scale with the opening range, adapting automatically to each day’s volatility environment.
█ How to Use
Set Your Instruments & Timeframe
-Apply to any futures contract on a 1‑ to 5‑minute chart.
-Ensure chart timezone is set to America/New_York.

-Max OR Retracement %: e.g. 50 to set stop at 50% of range width.
-One Trade Per Day: toggle to limit to a single breakout.
-Reverse on Stop Loss: toggle to flip direction after a losing breakout.
Monitor the Chart
-Watch the green and red range boundaries form during the session open.
-Orders will automatically submit on the first bar after the range window closes, conditioned on your filters.
Review & Adjust
-Backtest across multiple months to validate performance on your preferred contract.

Metals:Backwardation/ContangoMETALS: Gold , Silver , Copper ( GC , SI, HG)
Quickly visualize carrying charge market vs backwardized market by comparing the price of the next 2 years of futures contracts.
Carrying charge (contract prices increasing into the future) = normal, representing the costs of carrying/storage of a commodity. When this is flipped to Backwardation (contract prices decreasing into the future): its a bullish sign: Buyers want this commodity, and they want it NOW.
Note: indicator does not map to time axis in the same way as price; it simply plots the progression of contract months out into the future; left to right; so timeframe DOESN'T MATTER for this plot
There's likely some more efficient way to write this; e.g. when plotting for Gold ( GC ); 21 of the security requests are redundant; but they are still made; and can make this slower to load
TO UPDATE(once a year will do): in REQUEST CONTRACTS section, delete old contracts (top) and add new ones (bottom). Then in PLOTTING section, Delete old contract labels (bottom); add new contract labels (top); adjust the X in 'bar_index-(X+_historical)' numbers accordingly
This is one of three similar indicators: Meats | Metals | Grains
-If you want to build from this; to work on other commodities ; be aware that Tradingview limits the number of contract calls to 40 (hence the 3 seperate indicators)
Tips:
-Right click and reset chart if you can't see the plot; or if you have trouble with the scaling.
-Right click and add to new scale if you prefer this not to overlay directly on price. Or move to new pane below.

Settlement priceThis script is meant to be used intraday, on futures products.
It charts the previous day/week/month settlement price as a constant level intraday.
The settlement price of a product is calculated by the exchange at the end of each day. It is shown in the D/W/M chart as the close price. The settlement price does not coincide with the last close price intraday, thus creating the need of a script like this.
The settlement price can be a pivotal price in intraday futures trading, as it can act as support or resistance
You can select the resolution of the settlement by the "Resolution" input
Satoshi Frame Risk FrameSatoshi Frame Risk Frame
Trade with structure, not emotion.
Satoshi Frame – Risk Frame is a minimalist capital and risk management tool designed for traders who value discipline over hype.
This indicator helps you:
Calculate position size based on fixed risk
Control margin usage with leverage awareness
Visualize risk before entering any trade
Stay consistent across different market conditions
Built for futures and leveraged trading, Risk Frame focuses on one rule only:
Protect your capital first. Profits come later.
This is the first public release by Satoshi Frame —
a framework, not a signal .
Cumulative Intraday Volume with Long/Short LabelsThis indicator calculates a running total of volume for each trading day, then shows on the price chart when that total crosses levels you choose. Every day at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, the total goes back to zero so it always reflects only the current day’s activity. From that moment on, each time a new candle appears the indicator looks at whether the candle closed higher than it opened or lower. If it closed higher, the candle’s volume is added to the running total; if it closed lower, the same volume amount is subtracted. As a result, the total becomes positive when buyers have dominated so far today and negative when sellers have dominated.
Because futures markets close at 6 PM ET, the running total resets exactly then, mirroring the way most intraday traders think in terms of a single session. Throughout the day, you will see this running total move up or down according to whether more volume is happening on green or red candles. Once the total goes above a number you specify (for example, one hundred thousand contracts), the indicator will place a small “Long” label at that candle on the main price chart to let you know buying pressure has reached that level. Similarly, once the total goes below a negative number you choose (for example, minus one hundred thousand), a “Short” label will appear at that candle to signal that selling pressure has reached your chosen threshold. You can set these threshold numbers to whatever makes sense for your trading style or the market you follow.
Because raw volume alone never turns negative, this design uses candle direction as a sign. Green candles (where the close is higher than the open) add volume, and red candles (where the close is lower than the open) subtract volume. Summing those signed volume values tells you in a single number whether buying or selling has been stronger so far today. That number resets every evening, so it does not carry over any buying or selling from previous sessions.
Once you have this indicator on your chart, you simply watch the “summed volume” line as it moves throughout the day. If it climbs past your long threshold, you know buyers are firmly in control and a long entry might make sense. If it falls past your short threshold, you know sellers are firmly in control and a short entry might make sense. In quieter markets or times of low volume, you might use a smaller threshold so that even modest buying or selling pressure will trigger a label. During very active periods, a larger threshold will prevent too many signals when volume spikes frequently.
This approach is straightforward but can be surprisingly powerful. It does not rely on complex formulas or hidden statistical measures. Instead, it simply adds and subtracts daily volume based on candle color, then alerts you when that total reaches levels you care about. Over several years of historical testing, this formula has shown an ability to highlight moments when intraday sentiment shifts decisively from buyers to sellers or vice versa. Because the indicator resets every day at 6 PM, it always reflects only today’s sentiment and remains easy to interpret without carrying over past data. You can use it on any intraday timeframe, but it works especially well on five-minute or fifteen-minute charts for futures contracts.
If you want a clear gauge of whether buyers or sellers are dominating in real time, and you prefer a rule-based method rather than a complex model, this indicator gives you exactly that. It shows net buying or selling pressure at a glance, resets each session like most intraday traders do, and marks the moments when that pressure crosses the levels you decide are important. By combining a daily reset with signed volume, you get a single number that tells you precisely what the crowd is doing at any given moment, without any of the guesswork or hidden calculations that more complicated indicators often carry.

Failed Breakdown Detection'Failed Breakdowns' are a popular set up for long entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant low is made ('initial low')
2) Initial low is undercut with a new low
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial low by moving +8-10 points from the initial low
This script aims at detecting such set ups. It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
Business Logic:
1) Uses pivot lows to detect 'significant' initial lows
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new low beneath the initial low; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a green candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new low
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial low value (pivot low) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBD Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot low detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New lows are plotted on the chart with a blue triangle
Notes:
User input
- My preference is to use the defaults as is, but as always feel free to experiment
- Can modify pivot length but in my experience 10/10 work best for pivot lows
- New low detection - 55 bars and 0.05 amplitude work well based on visual checks of signals
- Can modify the number of points needed to reclaim a low, and the # of bars limit under which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new lows and detection of failed breakdowns
- Alerts are also available for these signals but only during 7:30PM-4PM EST - 'prime time' US trading hours
Limitations:
- Current version of the script only compares new lows to the most recent pivot low, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal

* **VIX (The "Fear Gauge"):** Tracks the expected volatility of the S&P 500, essentially telling you how nervous the market is feeling.
* **VVIX (The "VIX of VIX"):** This one's for the pros! It measures how volatile the VIX itself is, giving you an early heads-up on potential fear spikes.
* **VX Term Structure:** A clever way to see if traders are preparing for a crisis. It compares the two nearest VIX futures to spot a rare signal called "backwardation."
* **Z-Scores:** It helps you spot when VIX and VVIX are at historic highs or lows, making it easier to predict when things might return to normal.
* **Divergence Score:** A unique tool to flag potential market shifts when the VIX and VVIX start moving in completely different directions.
* **Regime Classification:** The script automatically labels the market as "Full Panic," "Known Crisis," "Surface Calm," "Stress," or "Normal," so you always know where you stand.
* **Gradient Bars:** A visual treat! The background of your chart changes color to reflect real-time volatility shifts, giving you an instant feel for the market's mood.
* **Alerts:** Get push notifications on your phone for key events like "Full Panic" or "Backwardation" so you never miss a beat.

### 📝 Panel/Table Outputs
This is your mission control! The on-screen table gives you a clean summary of the current market regime, VIX and VVIX values, their ratios, term structure, Z-scores, and signals. Everything you need, right where you can see it.
***
### 🚀 How to Get Started
1. **Check your data:** You'll need access to real-time data for VIX, VVIX, VX1!, and VX2!. A paid subscription might be necessary for this.
2. **Add it to your chart:** Use the indicator on any chart (we've set it to `overlay=false`) to get your full volatility dashboard.
3. **Tweak it to perfection:** Head over to the Settings panel to customize the thresholds, colors, and your all-important "Jolt Value."
4. **Start trading smarter:** Use the dashboard to inform your trades, hedge your portfolio, and manage risk with confidence.

### 💡 Jolt Value: A Quick Guide for Smart Traders 🧠
The **jolt value** is your personal tripwire for volatility. Think of it as a warning light on your car's dashboard. You set the level, and when volatility (VWATR) crosses that line, you get an instant signal that something interesting is happening.
**How to Set Your Jolt Value:**
The ideal jolt value is dynamic. You want to keep it just a little above the current VIX level to stay alert without getting too many false alarms.
| Current VIX Level | Market Regime | Recommended Jolt Value |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Under 15 | Calm/Complacent | 15–16 |
| 15–20 | Typical/Normal | 16–18 |
| 20–30 | Cautious/Active | 18–22 |
| Over 30 | Stress/Panic | 30+ |
**A Pro Tip for August 2025:** Since the VIX is hovering around 14.7, setting your jolt value to **16.5** is a great starting point for keeping an eye on things. If the VIX starts to climb above 20, you should adjust your jolt level to match the new reality.
***
### ⚠️ Important Things to Note

Trend Indicator using 3 custom EMA lines. Displays a table with 5 rows(position configurable)
-First line shows relative position of EMA lines to each other and outputs Bull, Weak Bull, Flat, Weak Bear, or Bear. EMA line1 should be less than EMA line2 and EMA line 2 should be less than EMA line3. Default is 9,21,50.
-Second through fourth line shows the slant of each EMA line. Up, Down, or Flat. Threshold for what is considered a slant is configurable. Also added a "steep" threshold configuration for steep slants.
-Fifth line shows exhaustion and is a simple, configurable calculation of the distance between EMA line1 and EMA line2.
--Lines one and five change depending on its value but ALL other colors are able to be changed.
--Default is somewhat set to work well with Micro E-mini Futures but this indicator can be changed to work on anything. I created it to help get a quick overview of short-term trend on futures. I used ChatGPT to help but I am still not sure if it actually took longer because of it.
Fed Fund Futures Custom AverageThis indicator helps traders track the expected average interest rate for the upcoming 12 months based on Fed Fund Futures. It calculates the average price of the next 12 monthly futures contracts and also shows the spread against the 1-Year US Treasury yield (US01Y). This can be useful for understanding market expectations regarding interest rate changes and identifying trading opportunities related to interest rate movements.
Arbitrage B3's IBOV FuturesThis indicator was made to calculate and show the spread between the B3's Ibovespa Futures and B3's Ibovespa Index increased by the Interest until the contract expiration date.
The orange line "Arbitrage" is the spread.
Inputs:
Annual Interest Rate (%) -> Interest Rate that you want to be used to calculate the Interest of B3's IBOV Index.
Working Days Until Contract Expires -> How many business days you have between your actual date and the expiration date of the Futures.
Recommended TimeFrame to evaluate the "Arbitrage": 1 MIN
EMA Fractal Bias"EMA Fractal Bias" overlays on TradingView charts to detect directional bias for scalping on futures like NQ/ES.
It computes three smoothed EMAs (fast 3/2, mid 9/3, slow 20/5, configurable) for stacking checks (bullish: fast > mid > slow; bearish: reverse).
Williams Fractals (period 2 default) identify potential breaks: close above up-fractal high for long, below down-fractal low for short.
Bias logic: Tracks last up/down fractal. On break, if stacked aligns, sets bias (long/short) and resets broken fractal. If no stack, sets pending flag and neutral bias; confirms on later bars if stack turns true.
Shading teal for long, purple for short, orange for neutral, with intra-bar previews.
Debug toggle adds event labels and status on last bar.
Non-repainting, evaluates on close.
Session Opening Bar RangeSession Opening Bar Range (OBR) - Advanced Opening Range Indicator with Statistical Analysis
Overview
The Session First Bar Range (FBR) indicator is a comprehensive tool that captures and projects key levels based on the first bar of a user-defined trading session. Unlike traditional daily opening range indicators, this script allows traders to focus on specific session windows (New York RTH, London, Asia, etc.) and analyze price behavior relative to the initial momentum established in that session's opening bar.
What makes this indicator unique is its combination of three distinct projection methodologies: statistical analysis based on historical range data, Fibonacci extensions, and fixed-point rotation levels commonly used by institutional traders. To our knowledge, this is the only opening range indicator that incorporates statistical standard deviation levels calculated from historical first bar ranges, making it both a technical and probabilistic tool.
Core Concept
The opening range concept is based on the principle that the initial price action of a trading session often sets the tone for the remainder of that session.
Professional traders have long observed that:
The first bar's high and low act as key reference points
Price often respects or breaks these levels with significance
Expansion beyond the opening range tends to occur in measurable increments
This indicator takes these observations and enhances them with:
Historical probability analysis - "Based on the last 60 sessions, price typically extends X standard deviations beyond the opening range"
Proportional projections - Fibonacci-based extensions showing where measured moves typically target
Fixed-point rotations - Institutional rotation levels (e.g., 65 points for NQ, 15 points for ES)
How It Works
Session Detection & First Bar Capture
The indicator uses Pine Script's time() function with timezone support to precisely detect when a trading session begins. When the first bar of the selected timeframe occurs within the session window, the script captures:
High (H): The high of the first bar
Low (L): The low of the first bar
Mid (M): The midpoint (hl2) of the first bar
Critical Detail: These levels are fixed from the first bar only - they do not update as the session progresses. This differs from many "opening range" indicators that use a time period (e.g., first 30 minutes). Here, you select the bar timeframe (default 5-minute), and only that single first bar's range is captured.
Statistical Level Calculation
The indicator maintains a rolling array of the last N session's first bar ranges (default: 60 sessions). For each new session, it calculates:
Average Range: Mean of historical first bar ranges
Standard Deviation: Volatility of those ranges
Projection Levels: High/Low ± (Average Range + Std Dev × Multiplier)
This provides probability-based levels. For example, a +2σ level suggests: "Historically, price extending this far beyond the opening range is a 2-standard-deviation event (approximately 95th percentile)."
Fibonacci Extensions
Using the first bar range as the base unit (100%), the indicator projects Fibonacci levels:
100% extension: One full range above the high / below the low
1.618x extension: (Default) Golden ratio projection
2.618x, 3.618x extensions: Additional Fibonacci levels
Calculation: Range = H - L, then Target = H + (Range × Multiplier) for upside projections.
OR Rotation Levels
These are fixed-point increments from the first bar's high and low. Unlike percentage-based methods, rotations use absolute point values:
NQ traders often use 65-point increments
ES traders often use 15-point increments
Gold/bonds use different values
The indicator draws 5 levels above the high (R+1 through R+5) and 5 below the low (R-1 through R-5), each separated by your specified point increment.

Breakout Confirmation: Price breaking and holding above the first bar high with volume suggests trend day potential. Rotation levels provide measured targets.
Reversal Identification: Price reaching +2σ statistical level = rare event, potential exhaustion
Range Bound Days: Price oscillating between first bar high/low suggests range-bound session; trade reversals at extremes
Institutional Level Awareness: OR Rotations at 65 points (NQ) align with levels professional traders watch
Technical Notes
The indicator uses request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to ensure the first bar levels are captured correctly
All drawing objects (lines, labels, fills) are managed in arrays with automatic cleanup to prevent memory issues
The statistical calculations use array.avg() and array.stdev() for accurate probability estimates
Rotation levels use individual line variables (like Fibonacci) rather than loops for reliability
Summary
This indicator is original in its combination of three distinct methodologies for projecting levels from a session's opening range:
Statistical Analysis - No other opening range indicator (to our knowledge) calculates standard deviation projections from historical first bar ranges
Time-Based Session Flexibility - Most OR indicators use only daily or fixed time periods; this allows any custom session window
Multiple Projection Methods - Traders can use statistical, Fibonacci, AND rotation levels together or separately
