Momentum Trader ToolboxMomentum Traders Toolbox Pro combines three daily-anchored tools into one overlay so momentum traders can see trend, extension, and volatility context without stacking multiple indicators.
What it includes:
Daily EMAs: plots the 8/21/50 EMAs calculated on the daily timeframe on any chart. A fill between the 8 and 21 EMA helps visualize short-term momentum.
ADR/ATR table: optional rows show daily ATR, ADR%, distance from the daily low, distance from the selected daily EMA (default 8), and an extension reading: EMA extension (x) = (EMA distance %) ÷ (ADR%). The extension value is color-coded by thresholds you can customize.
VIX regime: pulls daily VIX and calculates a z-score over your lookback, then labels the environment as risk-on, risk-off, or neutral. The VIX values are daily-based by design, so on non-daily charts the table shows a reminder to use the daily timeframe for the VIX score.
Notes:
Daily values can update intraday until the daily candle closes.
The EMA plots include an optional Offset; keep it at 0 if you don’t want shifted lines.

Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator [ApexLegion]Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
The Market Regime | NY Session Killzones indicator is designed exclusively for New York market hours (07:00-16:00 ET). Unlike universal indicators that attempt to function across disparate global sessions, this tool employs session-specific calibration to target the distinct liquidity characteristics of the NY trading day: Pre-Market structural formation (08:00-09:30), the Morning breakout window (09:30-12:00), and the Afternoon Killzone (13:30-16:00)—periods when institutional order flow exhibits the highest concentration and most definable technical structure. By restricting its operational scope to these statistically significant time windows, the indicator focuses on signal relevance while filtering the noise inherent in lower-liquidity overnight or extended-hours trading environments.
I. TECHNICAL RATIONALE: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTEXTUAL FUSION
1. The Limitation of Acontextual Indicators
Traditional technical indicators often fail because they treat every bar and every market session equally, applying static thresholds (e.g., RSI > 70) without regard for the underlying market structure or liquidity environment. However, institutional volume and market volatility are highly dependent on the time of day (session) and the prevailing long-term risk environment.
This indicator was developed to address this "contextual deficit" by fusing three distinct yet interdependent analytical layers:
• Time and Structure (Macro): Identifying high-probability trading windows (Killzones) and critical structural levels (Pre-Market Range, PDH/PDL).
• Volatility and Scoring (Engine): Normalizing intraday momentum against annual volatility data to create an objective, statistically grounded AI Score.
• Risk Management (Execution): Implementing dynamic, volatility-adjusted Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) parameters based on the Average True Range (ATR).
2. The Mandate for 252-Day Normalization (Z-Score)
What makes this tool unique is its 252-day Z-Score normalization engine that transforms raw momentum readings into statistically grounded probability scores, allowing the same indicator to deliver consistent, context-aware signals across any timeframe—from 1-minute scalping to 1-hour swing trades—without manual recalibration.
THE PROBLEM OF SCALE INVARIANCE
A high Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading on a 1-minute chart has a completely different market implication than a high RSI reading on a Daily chart. Simple percentage-based thresholds (like 70 or 30) do not provide true contextual significance. A sudden spike in momentum may look extreme on a 5-minute chart, but if it is statistically insignificant compared to the overall volatility of the last year, it may be a poor signal.
THE SOLUTION: CROSS-TIMEFRAME Z-SCORE NORMALIZATION
This indicator utilizes the Pine Script function request.security to reference the Daily timeframe for calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of a momentum oscillator (RSI) over the past 252 trading days (one year).
The indicator then calculates the Z-Score (Z) for the current bar's raw momentum (x): Z = (x - μ) / σ
Core Implementation: float raw_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14) // x
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D",
, // σ (252 days)
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0 // Z
This score provides an objective measurement of current intraday momentum significance by evaluating its statistical extremity against the yearly baseline of daily momentum. This standardized approach provides the scoring engine with consistent, global contextual information, independent of the chart's current viewing timeframe.
II. CORE COMPONENTS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN
1. TIME AND SESSION ANALYSIS (KILLZONES AND BIAS)
The indicator visually segments the trading day based on New York (NY) trading sessions, aligning the analysis with periods of high institutional liquidity events.
Pre-Market (PRE)
• Function: Defines the range before the core market opens. This range establishes structural support and resistance levels (PMH/PML).
• Technical Implementation: Uses a dedicated Session input (ny_pre_sess). The High and Low values (pm_h_val/pm_l_val) within this session are stored and plotted for structural reference.
• Smart Extension Logic: PMH/PML lines are automatically extended until the next Pre-Market session begins, providing continuous support/resistance references overnight.
NY Killzones (AM/PM)
• Function: Highlights high-probability volatility windows where institutional liquidity is expected to be highest (e.g., NY open, lunch, NY close).
• Technical Implementation: Separate session inputs (kz_ny_am, kz_ny_pm) are utilized to draw translucent background fills, providing a clear visual cue for timing.
Market Regime Bias
• Function: Determines the initial directional premise for the trading day. The bias is confirmed when the price breaks either the Pre-Market High (PMH) or the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Technical Implementation: Involves the comparison of the close price against the predefined structural levels (check_h for PMH, check_l for PML). The variable active_bias is set to Bullish or Bearish upon confirmed breakout.
Trend Bar Coloring
• Function: Applies a visual cue to the bars based on the established regime (Bullish=Cyan, Bearish=Red). This visual filter helps mitigate noise from counter-trend candles.
• Technical Implementation: The Pine Script barcolor() function is tied directly to the value of the determined active_bias.
2. VOLATILITY NORMALIZED SCORING ENGINE
The internal scoring mechanism accumulates points from multiple market factors to determine the strength and validity of a signal. The purpose is to apply a robust filtering mechanism before generating an entry.
The score accumulation logic is based on the following factors:
• Market Bias Alignment (+3 Points): Points are awarded for conformance with the determined active_bias (Bullish/Bearish).
• VWAP Alignment (+2 Points): Assesses the position of the current price relative to the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Alignment suggests conformity with the average institutional transaction price.
• Volume Anomaly (+2 Points): Detects a price move accompanied by an abnormally high relative volume (odd_vol_spike). This suggests potential institutional participation or significant order flow.
• VIX Integration (+2 Points): A score derived from the CBOE VIX index, assessing overall market stability and stress. Stable VIX levels add points, while high VIX levels (stress regimes) remove points or prevent signal generation entirely.
• ML Probability Score (+3 Points): This is the core predictive engine. It utilizes a Log-Manhattan Distance Kernel to compare the current market state against historical volatility patterns. The script implements a Log-linear distance formula (log(1 + |Δ|) ). This approach mathematically dampens the impact of extreme volatility spikes (outliers), ensuring that the similarity score reflects true structural alignment rather than transient market noise.
Core Technical Logic (Z-Score Normalization)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0
• Technical Purpose: This line calculates the Z-Score (cur_rsi_norm) of the current momentum oscillator reading (raw_rsi) by normalizing it against the mean (d_rsi_mean) and standard deviation (d_rsi_std) derived from 252 days of Daily momentum data. If the standard deviation is zero (market is perfectly flat), it safely returns 0.0 to prevent division by zero runtime errors. This allows the AI's probability score to be based on the current signal's significance within the context of the entire trading year.
3. EXECUTION AND RISK MANAGEMENT (ATR MODEL)
The indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) volatility model. This helps risk management scale dynamically with market volatility by allowing users to define TP/SL distances independently based on the current ATR.
Stop Loss Multiplier (sl_mult)
• Function: Sets the Stop Loss (SL) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_sl_price := close - (atr_val * sl_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Take Profit Multiplier (tp_mult)
• Function: Sets the Take Profit (TP) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 3.0 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_tp_price := close + (atr_val * tp_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Structural SL Option
• Function: Provides an override to the ATR-based SL calculation. When enabled, it forces the Stop Loss to the Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML) level, aligning the stop with a key institutional structural boundary.
• Technical Logic: The indicator checks the use_struct_sl input. If true, the calculated last_sl_price is overridden with either pm_h_val or pm_l_val, dependent on the specific trade direction.
Trend Continuation Logic
• Function: Enables signal generation in established, strong trends (typically in the Afternoon session) based on follow-through momentum (a new high/low of the previous bar) combined with a high Signal Score, rather than exclusively relying on the initial PMH/PML breakout.
• Technical Logic: For a long signal, the is_cont_long logic specifically requires checks like active_bias == s_bull AND close > high , confirming follow-through momentum within the established regime.
Smart Snapping & Cleanup (16:00 Market Close)
• Function: To maintain chart cleanliness, all trade boxes (TP/SL), AI Prediction zones, Killzone overlays (NY AM/PM), and Liquidity lines (PDH/PDL) are automatically "snapped" and cut off precisely at 16:00 NY Time (Market Close).
• Technical Logic: When is_market_close condition is met (hour == 16 and minute == 0), the script executes cleanup logic that:
◦ Closes active trades and evaluates final P&L
◦ Snaps all TP/SL box widths to current bar
◦ Truncates AI Prediction ghost boxes at market close
◦ Cuts off NY AM/PM Killzone background fills
◦ Terminates PDH/PDL line extensions
◦ Prevents visual clutter from extending into post-market sessions
4. LIQUIDITY AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
The indicator plots key structural levels that serve as high-probability magnet zones or areas of potential liquidity absorption.
• Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML): These are the high and low established during the configured pre-market session (ny_pre_sess). They define the primary structural breakout level for the day, often serving as the initial market inflection point or the key entry level for the morning session.
• PDH (Previous Day High): The high of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This represents a key Liquidity Pool; large orders are often placed above this level, making it a frequent target for stop hunts or liquidity absorption by market makers.
• PDL (Previous Day Low): The low of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This also represents a key Liquidity Pool and a high-probability reversal or accumulation point, particularly during the Killzones.
FIFO Array Management
The indicator uses FIFO (First-In-First-Out) array structures to manage liquidity lines and labels, automatically deleting the oldest objects when the count exceeds 500 to comply with drawing object limits.
5. AI PREDICTION BOX (PREDICTIVE MODEL)
Function: Analyzes AI scores and volatility to project predicted killzone ranges and duration with asymmetric directional bias.
A. DIRECTIONAL BIAS (ASYMMETRIC EXPANSION)
The prediction model calculates directional probability using the ML kernel's 252-day Normalized RSI (Z-Score) and Relative Volume (RVOL). The prediction box dynamically adjusts its range based on this probability to provide immediate visual feedback on high-probability direction.
Bullish Scenario (ml_prob > 1.0):
• Upper Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive upside target
• Lower Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed upward, immediately communicating bullish bias without requiring numerical analysis.
Bearish Scenario (ml_prob < -1.0):
• Upper Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Lower Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive downside target
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed downward, immediately communicating bearish bias.
Neutral Scenario (-1.0 < ml_prob < 1.0):
Both ranges use balanced multipliers, creating a symmetrical box that indicates uncertainty.
B. DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BOOSTER (SESSION-BASED ADAPTATION)
The prediction box adjusts its volatility multiplier based on the current session and market conditions to account for intraday volatility patterns.
AM Session (Morning: 07:00-12:00):
• Base Multiplier: 1.0x (Neutral Base)
• Logic: Morning sessions often contain false breakouts and noise. The base multiplier starts neutral to avoid over-projecting during consolidation.
• Trend Booster: Multiplier jumps to 1.5x when:
Price > London Session Open AND AI is Bullish (ml_prob > 0), OR
Price < London Session Open AND AI is Bearish (ml_prob < 0)
• Logic: When the London trend (typically 03:00-08:00 NY time) aligns with the AI model's directional conviction, the indicator aggressively targets higher volatility expansion. This filters for "institutional follow-through" rather than random morning chop.
PM Session (Afternoon: 13:00-16:00):
• Fixed Multiplier: 1.8x
• Logic: The PM session, particularly the 13:30-16:00 ICT Silver Bullet window, often contains the "True Move" of the day. A higher baseline multiplier is applied to emphasize this session's significance over morning noise.
Safety Floor:
A minimum range of 0.2% of the current price is enforced regardless of volatility conditions.
• Purpose: Maintains the prediction box visibility during extreme low-volatility consolidation periods where ATR might collapse to near-zero values.
Volatility Clamp Protection:
Maximum volatility is capped at three times the current ATR value. During flash crashes, circuit breaker halts, or large overnight gaps, raw volatility calculations can spike to extreme levels. This clamp prevents prediction boxes from expanding to unrealistic widths.
Technical Implementation:
f_get_ai_multipliers(float _prob) =>
float _abs_prob = math.abs(_prob)
float _range_mult = 1.0
float _dur_mult = 1.0
if _abs_prob > 30
_range_mult := 1.8
else if _abs_prob > 10
_range_mult := 1.2
else
_range_mult := 0.7
C. PRACTICAL INTERPRETATION
• Wide Upper Range + Tight Lower Range: Strong bullish conviction. The model expects significant upside with limited downside risk.
• Tight Upper Range + Wide Lower Range: Strong bearish conviction. The model expects significant downside with limited upside.
• Symmetrical Range: Neutral/uncertain market. Wait for directional confirmation before entry.
• Large Box (Extended Duration): High-confidence prediction expecting sustained movement.
• Small Box (Short Duration): Low-confidence or choppy conditions. Expect quick resolution.
III. PRACTICAL USAGE GUIDE: METHODOLOGY AND EXECUTION
A. ESTABLISHING TRADING CONTEXT (THE THREE CHECKS)
The primary goal of the dashboard is to filter out low-probability trade setups before they occur.
• Timeframe Selection: Although the core AI is normalized to the Daily context, the indicator performs optimally on intraday timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) where session-based volatility is most pronounced.
• PHASE Check (Timing): Always confirm the current phase. The highest probability signals typically occur within the visually highlighted NY AM/PM Killzones because this is when institutional liquidity and volume are at their peak. Signals outside these zones should be treated with skepticism.
• MARKET REGIME Check (Bias): Ensure the signal (BUY/SELL arrow) aligns with the established MARKET REGIME bias (BULLISH/BEARISH). Counter-bias signals are technically allowed if the score is high, but they represent a higher risk trade.
• VIX REGIME Check (Risk): Review the VIX REGIME for overall market stress. Periods marked DANGER (high VIX) indicate elevated volatility and market uncertainty. During DANGER regimes, reducing position size or choosing a wider SL Multiplier is advisable.
B. DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION (THE REAL-TIME STATUS DISPLAY)
The indicator features a non-intrusive dashboard that provides real-time, context-aware information based on the core analytical engines.
PHASE: (PRE-MARKET, NY-AM, LUNCH, NY-PM)
• Meaning: Indicates the current institutional session time. This is derived from the customizable session inputs.
• Interpretation: Signals generated during NY-AM or NY-PM (Killzones) are generally considered higher-probability due to increased institutional participation and liquidity.
MARKET REGIME: (BULLISH, BEARISH, NEUTRAL)
• Meaning: The established directional bias for the trading day, confirmed by the price breaking above the Pre-Market High (PMH) or below the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Interpretation: Trading with the established regime (e.g., taking a BUY signal when the regime is BULLISH) is the primary method. NEUTRAL indicates that the PMH/PML boundary has not yet been broken, suggesting market ambiguity.
VIX REGIME: (STABLE, DANGER)
• Meaning: A measure of overall market stress and stability, based on the CBOE VIX index integration. The thresholds (20.0 and 35.0 default) are customizable by the user.
• Interpretation: STABLE indicates stable volatility, favoring momentum trades. DANGER (VIX > 35.0) indicates extreme stress; signals generated in this environment require caution and often necessitate smaller position sizing.
SIGNAL SCORE: (0 to 10+ Points)
• Meaning: The accumulated score derived from the VOLATILITY NORMALIZED AI SCORING ENGINE, factoring in bias, VWAP alignment, volume, and the Z-Score probability.
• Interpretation: The indicator generates a signal when this score meets or exceeds the Minimum Entry Score (default 3). A higher score (e.g., 7+) indicates greater statistical confluence and a stronger potential entry.
AI PROBABILITY: (Bull/Bear %)
• Meaning: Directional probability derived from the ML kernel, expressed as a percentage with Bull/Bear label.
• Interpretation: Higher absolute values (>20%) indicate stronger directional conviction from the ML model.
LIVE METRICS SECTION:
• STATUS: Shows current trade state (LONG, SHORT, or INACTIVE)
• ENTRY: Displays the entry price for active trades
• TARGET: Shows the calculated Take Profit level
• ROI | KILL ZONE:
◦ For Active Trades: Displays real-time P&L percentage during NY session hours.
◦ At Market Close (16:00 NY): Since this is a NY session-specific indicator, any active position is automatically evaluated and closed at 16:00. The final result (VALIDATED or INVALIDATED) is determined based on whether the trade reached profit or loss at market close.
◦ Result Persistence: The killzone result (VALIDATED/INVALIDATED) remains displayed on the dashboard until the next NY AM KILLZONE session begins, providing a clear performance reference for the previous trading day.
Note: If a trade is still trending at 16:00, it will be force-closed and evaluated at that moment, as the indicator operates strictly within NY trading hours.
C. SIGNAL GENERATION AND ENTRY LOGIC
The indicator generates signals based on two distinct technical setups, both of which require the accumulated SIGNAL SCORE to be above the configured Minimum Entry Score.
Breakout Entry
• Trigger Condition: Price closes beyond the Pre-Market High (PMH) or Low (PML).
• Rationale: This setup targets the initial directional movement for the day. A breakout confirms the institutional bias by decisively breaking the first major structural boundary, making the signal high-probability.
Continuation Entry
• Trigger Condition: The market is already in an established regime (e.g., BULLISH), and the price closes above the high (or below the low) of the previous bar, while the SIGNAL SCORE remains high. Requires the Allow Trend Continuation parameter to be active.
• Rationale: This setup targets follow-through trades, typically in the afternoon session, capturing momentum after the morning's direction has been confirmed. This filters for sustainability in the established trend.
Execution: Execute the trade immediately upon the close of the bar that prints the BUY or SELL signal arrow.
D. MANAGING RISK AND EXITS
1. RISK PARAMETER SELECTION
The indicator immediately draws the dynamic TP/SL zones upon entry.
• Volatility-Based (Recommended Default): By setting the SL Multiplier (e.g., 1.5) and the TP Multiplier (e.g., 3.0), the indicator enforces a constant, dynamically sized risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2 in this example). This helps that risk management scales proportionally with the current market volatility (ATR).
• Structural Override: Selecting the Use Structural SL parameter fixes the stop-loss not to the ATR calculation, but to the more significant structural level of the PMH or PML. This is utilized by traders who favor institutional entry rules where the stop is placed behind the liquidity boundary.
2. EXIT METHODS
• Hard Exit: Price hits the visual TP or SL box boundary.
• Soft Exit (Momentum Decay Filter): If the trade is active and the SIGNAL SCORE drops below the Exit Score Threshold (default 3), it indicates that the momentum supporting the trade has significantly collapsed. This serves as a momentum decay filter, prompting the user to consider a manual early exit even if the SL/TP levels have not been hit, thereby preserving capital during low-momentum consolidation.
• Market Close Auto-Exit: At 16:00 NY time, any active trade is automatically closed and classified as VALIDATED (profit) or INVALIDATED (loss) based on current price vs. entry price.

Usage: Use this alert to open new Short positions or close existing Long positions.
V. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS
⚠️ Intraday Only (Timeframe Compatibility)
This indicator is strictly designed for Intraday Timeframes (1m to 4h).
Daily/Weekly Charts: The session logic (e.g., "09:30-16:00") cannot function on Daily bars because a single bar encompasses the entire session. Session boxes, TP/SL zones, and AI prediction boxes will NOT draw on the Daily timeframe. Only the PDH/PDL liquidity lines remain visible on Daily charts. This is expected behavior, not a limitation.
Maximum Supported Timeframe: All visual components (session boxes, killzone overlays, TP/SL zones, AI prediction boxes) are displayed up to the 4-hour timeframe. Above this timeframe, only PDH/PDL lines and the dashboard remain functional.
⚠️ Drawing Object Limit (Max 500)
A single script can display a maximum of 500 drawing objects (boxes/lines) simultaneously.
On lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), where many signals and session boxes are generated, older history (typically beyond 10-14 days) will automatically disappear to make room for new real-time data.
For deeper historical backtesting visualization, switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h).
The indicator implements FIFO array management to comply with this limit while maintaining the most recent and relevant visual data.
VI. PRACTICAL TRADING TIPS AND BEST PRACTICES
• Killzone Confirmation: The highest statistical validity is observed when a high-score signal occurs directly within a visible NY AM/PM Killzone. Use the Killzones as a strict time filter.
• Liquidity Awareness (PDH/PDL): Treat the Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL) lines as magnets. If your dynamic Take Profit (TP) is placed just above PDH, consider adjusting your target slightly below PDH or utilizing the Soft Exit, as liquidity absorption at these levels often results in sudden, sharp reversals that stop out a trade just before the target is reached.
• VIX as a Position Sizer: During DANGER VIX regimes, the resulting high volatility means the ATR value will be large. It is prudent to either reduce the SL Multiplier or, more commonly, reduce the overall position size to maintain a constant currency risk exposure per trade.
• Continuation Filter Timing: Trend Continuation signals are most effective during the Afternoon (PM) session when the morning's directional breakout has had time to establish a strong, clear, and sustainable trend. Avoid using them in the initial AM session when the direction is still being contested.
• 16:00 Market Close Rule: All trades, boxes, and lines are automatically cleaned up at 16:00 NY time. This prevents overnight chart clutter and maintains visual clarity.

Momentum Regime and Confluence EngineThe Momentum Regime and Confluence Engine is a momentum-based indicator designed to help traders understand trend context, alignment, and timing—without relying on price prediction or repainting logic.
Instead of telling you what to buy or sell, this tool answers three critical questions:
Which timeframe is in control?
Is short-term momentum aligned or counter-trend?
When is momentum likely to change?
🔹 Core Concept (Simple Explanation)
Markets move in cycles of momentum.
This indicator visualizes those cycles across Weekly and Daily timeframes and places them into a single, easy-to-read view.
Weekly momentum defines the broader market regime
Daily momentum shows shorter-term pressure inside that regime
Projection provides an early visual guide for potential momentum shifts
🟢🔴 Momentum Lines (%K / %D)
The indicator uses two smooth momentum lines:
Green line → rising momentum pressure
Red line → declining momentum pressure
These lines move between 0 and 100:
Near 0 → downside momentum is exhausted
Near 100 → upside momentum is exhausted
When green is above red, momentum is improving.
When red is above green, momentum is weakening.
🟥🟩 Weekly Context Background (Primary Trend)
The background color represents the Weekly momentum regime:
Green → Weekly bullish context
Red → Weekly bearish context
Gray → Neutral / transitional phase
Weekly context changes slowly by design and uses hysteresis logic, meaning it will not flip back and forth near a crossover. Momentum must prove itself before the regime changes.
This helps reduce false signals and whipsaws.
🟢🔴 Daily Context Overlay (Timing Layer)
A lighter background overlay shows Daily momentum context:
Reacts faster than the weekly layer
Can temporarily move against the weekly trend
Highlights pullbacks, relief rallies, and short-term shifts
Examples:
Weekly red + Daily green → short-term bounce in a downtrend
Weekly green + Daily red → pullback in an uptrend
📈 Projection & “Projected Cross”
The indicator includes an optional momentum projection:
It analyzes a historical momentum pattern
Maps that behavior forward in time
Displays a projected path for the momentum lines
A “Projected Cross” label marks where a momentum crossover is likely to occur if similar conditions repeat.
Projections are scenarios, not guarantees.
They are intended as early awareness, not signals.
🏷 Weekly Context Tag
A small on-screen tag displays the current Weekly regime:
W Context: Bull
W Context: Bear
W Context: Neutral
This provides quick confirmation without needing to interpret colors alone.
🧭 How to Use This Indicator
Start with the Weekly background
Identify the dominant market regime.
Check the Daily overlay
Look for alignment or counter-trend behavior.
Watch for projected momentum shifts
Prepare for volatility or transition.
Use price for confirmation
Momentum often shifts before price reacts.
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying trend regime and momentum bias
Avoiding trades against higher-timeframe pressure
Timing pullbacks and momentum reversals
Staying objective during market noise
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not predict price
It does not generate buy/sell signals
It is a context and timing tool, not a standalone strategy
Final Thought
The Momentum Regime and Confluence Engine is designed to help traders see who is in control, who is pushing back, and when momentum is likely to change—before price makes it obvious.
Vol Compression PRO
## Volatility Compression PRO (Fully Fixed)
This indicator is an **options-theory-inspired “volatility compression → expansion” detector**, enhanced for **crypto trading on 4H/1D**. It is designed as a **two-stage system**:
1. **Environment / Setup (1D)**: Detects a volatility-compressed regime where a breakout is more likely.
2. **Trigger (current chart TF, recommended 4H)**: Confirms the breakout using price structure + volatility expansion + (optional) volume.
A major feature of this script is that it **avoids TradingView’s 5000-bar historical limitation** by recommending a **Daily HV (1D) computation mode**, which is stable and not constrained by intraday bar counts.
---
## Core Concept
### Stage A — “Setup” (Daily Environment Filter)
On the **daily timeframe**, the script estimates realized volatility (HV) and produces an **Environment Score (0–100)** that reflects how “compressed” volatility is versus its own history.
A **Setup window** becomes active when:
* `Environment Score >= Setup Threshold`
* Optional “persistence” can keep Setup active for N days after triggering (to avoid edge flicker).
It also calculates a **daily directional bias** (Bull/Bear) using one of two methods:
* **Price vs Daily EMA** (default): bias is bullish if daily close > daily EMA, bearish if below.
* **MACD > 0**: bias is bullish if daily MACD line > 0, bearish if < 0.
This stage answers:
**“Are we in a volatility-compressed regime worth watching, and what is the higher-timeframe bias?”**
---
## HV / Compression Scoring Model
The script computes:
* **Short-term HV**: standard deviation of log returns over a short window
* **Long-term HV**: standard deviation of log returns over a long window
* **HV Percentile**: percentile rank of short HV over a historical lookback
* **Compression Ratio (S/L)**: short HV divided by long HV (`<1` implies compression, `>1` implies expansion)
* **Log-Z Deviation**: Z-score of log(HV) vs its historical distribution (more stable than raw HV Z-score)
Then it builds a **0–100 score** using weighted components:
* Low HV percentile (lower = more compressed)
* Compression ratio below 1 (more compression)
* Negative log-Z deviation (HV below typical)
This produces a single number: **“Explosion Potential (Environment Score)”**.
---
## Stage B — Trigger Logic (Current Chart Timeframe, recommended 4H)
A **Long Trigger** fires only when **all** of the following are true:
1. **Setup is active** (from daily environment score)
2. **Daily bias is bullish**
3. **Donchian breakout UP**
* Close breaks above the **previous bar’s** highest high of the last N bars
* Uses ` ` to avoid same-bar repaint-style lookback issues
4. **Volatility expansion confirmation**, via either:
* **Bollinger Band Width rising** (BBW turns up and exceeds its mean), and/or
* **ATR% rising** (ATR as % of price increases)
5. **Optional volume confirmation**:
* Volume > SMA(volume) × multiplier (if enabled)
A **Short Trigger** mirrors the long logic (requires bearish bias + downside Donchian break), and can be toggled on/off.
This stage answers:
**“Did price actually escape the compression box, and is volatility expanding with it?”**
---
## Two HV Calculation Modes (5000-bar limitation fix)
### 1) **Daily HV (Recommended)**
* Computes HV + Score + Setup on the **daily timeframe using `request.security(...,"D",...)`**
* This avoids intraday needing thousands of bars to represent many days
* Much more stable and reliable for regime detection
### 2) **Adaptive to Chart TF**
* Computes HV on the **current chart timeframe**
* Includes a strict conversion of “days → bars” and clamps lengths to **<= 4800 bars** to avoid the 5000-bar ceiling
* Still less robust on small timeframes, but won’t crash the script
---
## Visualization
* Plots the **Environment Score** as the main line (colored by score level)
* Draws reference lines at 70 / 50 / 30
* Highlights the background when **Setup** is active
* Optional trigger markers:
* **“L”** for long trigger (triangle up)
* **“S”** for short trigger (triangle down)
* A top-right info panel shows:
* HV short/long, HV percentile, compression ratio, log-Z deviation
* Environment score, Setup active status, daily bias
* Breakout status, expansion confirmation, volume confirmation
* Current mode (“1D fixed” vs “Adaptive”)
---
## Alerts
Built-in alert conditions:
* Setup active (compression window)
* Long Trigger
* Short Trigger
---
## Intended Use (Practical)
* Use **1D** to judge whether volatility is compressed and define bias
* Use **4H** to wait for a clean breakout plus expansion confirmation
* Avoid forcing entries during compression without a real breakout (“don’t catch falling knives” logic)

Daily Workflow (Recommended):
Check indicator once per morning (pre-session)
Note the sentiment zone and action recommendation
Apply bias filter to your technical setups throughout the day
Size up positions at extremes when order flow confirms
For Futures Traders:
Use bar close mode (default) for stable daily bias
However, try and test live candle option , it might give you early insights
Check before London Open (6:00 AM ET)
Combine with order flow analysis (Body Close, sweeps, institutional levels)
For Stock Traders:
Use for sector rotation decisions
Extreme Fear = buy quality at your edge support level
Extreme Greed = trim positions, raise cash
For Crypto Traders:
Crypto mode captures equity risk sentiment spillover
VIX spikes = crypto dumps (size shorts)
Safe haven demand = BTC correlation tracking

Flexible display options for different trading workflows
Universal data compatibility for all TradingView users
+25% DMA200 +25% DMA200 highlights daily over-extension by printing a ⚠️ marker on every daily candle where price is more than X% above the Daily 200 DMA (200-period SMA calculated on the Daily timeframe). It also plots the Daily DMA200 line on the chart. Recommended usage in GOLD, GLD, etc.
How it works
Computes DMA200 using Daily data
Measures extension: (Close − DMA200) / DMA200
If extension is above the threshold (default 0.25 = 25%), it places a ⚠️ above that candle (one per qualifying daily candle).
Optional alert triggers only when extension crosses above the threshold (entry into the over-extended zone).
Inputs
DMA Length (Daily): Moving average length (default 200).
Threshold: Over-extension level (0.25 = 25%).
Run ONLY on 1D chart: If enabled, marks/alerts only on Daily charts.
Pad above high: Vertical spacing for the marker above the candle’s high.
Keep last N markers: Limits how many markers are kept to avoid chart clutter.
Note
This is not a buy/sell signal—it’s a risk/extension detector to help identify when price is stretched far above its long-term daily mean.

Wait for Data: The indicator needs 20 bars after each signal time to complete analysis
Review Statistics: Check the statistics table for detailed breakdowns
📈 STATISTICS EXPLAINED
For Each Tracked Time, You'll See:
🟢 Above Selected Lines (X samples):
Continued↑: Price stayed above the lines = bullish continuation
Reversed↓: Price broke below the lines = reversal/rejection
→Kept Going↓: After reversing down, price continued lower (bars 11-20)
→Stalled: After reversing down, price came back up (consolidation)
Neutral: Price didn't make a clear move either way
🔴 Below Selected Lines (X samples):
Continued↓: Price stayed below the lines = bearish continuation
Reversed↑: Price broke above the lines = reversal/support bounce
→Kept Going↑: After reversing up, price continued higher (bars 11-20)
→Stalled: After reversing up, price came back down (consolidation)
Neutral: No clear directional move
⭐ Star Ratings: Show which outcome happens most frequently (best probability)
🔬 HYBRID DETECTION SYSTEM (ADVANCED)
When enabled, the indicator uses a multi-signal composite scoring system that goes beyond simple percentage movements:
Signal A - % Movement Direction (40% weight):
Measures the strength and direction of price movement. Strong directional moves (>0.8%) score higher, while opposite-direction moves score negatively.
Signal B - Inside Candles (30% weight):
Detects true consolidation by counting how many candles close within a defined range. High inside-candle counts indicate choppy, stalled price action rather than clean continuation.
Signal C - Successive Closes (30% weight):
Tracks momentum persistence by counting consecutive closes in the expected direction. Long streaks (6+ bars) indicate strong follow-through, while breaks in the sequence suggest weakness.
Composite Score Classification:
⭐⭐⭐ Strong (75-100 points): All three signals align - high-confidence pattern
⭐⭐ Moderate (50-75 points): Two signals agree - reliable pattern
⭐ Weak (25-50 points): Mixed signals - lower confidence
⚠️ Strong Stalled (0-25 points): Signals show consolidation/reversal
This provides nuanced pattern detection that identifies not just IF a pattern succeeded, but HOW STRONGLY it performed.
💡 INTERPRETING RESULTS
Good Lines Show:
High continuation % when price is above/below (>60% is strong)
Clean "Kept Going" patterns after reversals (>50% indicates reliable rejection)
Low stalled % (less whipsaw/consolidation)
Consistent patterns across multiple times (validates the line's reliability)
Poor Lines Show:
50/50 continuation vs reversal (coin flip = no edge)
High stalled % (lots of whipsaw/false signals)
Inconsistent patterns across different times (unreliable)
Example Interpretation:
9:30 AM - VWAP Daily (120 samples)
🟢 Above:
Continued↑ 75 (62.5%) ⭐ BEST
Reversed↓ 30 (25.0%)
Meaning: When price is above VWAP Daily at 9:30 AM, it continues higher 62.5% of the time - this is a statistically strong bullish signal for that session time.
🎯 PRACTICAL VALUE
Solves the Whipsaw Problem:
Most moving averages and lines work beautifully in trending markets but create endless false signals in choppy, range-bound conditions. By analyzing specific session times and continuation vs reversal patterns, you can:
Identify high-probability setups: Focus on lines that show >60% continuation at your preferred trading times
Avoid weak signals: Skip lines with high stall rates or 50/50 outcomes
Time your entries better: Know which session times produce the cleanest patterns
Combine complementary lines: Stack multiple high-scoring lines for confluence
Adapt to market conditions: Switch to different lines when market structure changes
Real-World Application:
Instead of blindly trading VWAP crosses or MA bounces, you'll have objective data showing: "At 9:30 AM on ES, when price is above Mid MA + VWAP Daily + Volume POC, it continues higher 68% of the time with strong momentum (⭐⭐⭐)." This transforms discretionary guesswork into data-driven decision making.
⚙️ LINE DEFINITIONS
Moving Averages: Smooth price data over X periods to identify trend direction and dynamic support/resistance.
VWAP: Anchored average price weighted by volume - institutional traders' benchmark for "fair value."
Volume POC (Point of Control): Price level with the most traded volume - represents maximum market acceptance.
Fair Value Golden Ratio: Fibonacci 0.618 level between recent premium (high) and discount (low) - equilibrium zone.
DWAP (Delta Weighted): Price average weighted by buying vs selling volume delta - shows directional money flow.
Range Midpoints: Geometric center of recent high/low range - mean reversion pivot.
Volatility Bands: Envelope around momentum lines showing normal price deviation ranges.
HVN (High Volume Node): Automated detection of high-volume price clusters - institutional accumulation/distribution zones.
Note: This indicator is purely for statistical analysis and backtesting. It does not generate trade signals or provide entry/exit recommendations. Use the statistics to inform your own trading decisions and strategy development.

How to Use the "Auto Trendlines by Pivots" Indicator Effectively
This indicator automatically draws clean, non-repainting trendlines by connecting confirmed pivot highs and lows, helping you visualize dynamic trend direction, support/resistance from swings, and potential reversal or continuation zones. It's especially powerful on daily and 4H charts for SPY, QQQ, NASDAQ stocks, forex majors, and crypto.
Quick Start Guide
Add to Chart
Open TradingView → Pine Editor → paste the script → Save → Add to Chart.
Best symbols/timeframes: SPY/QQQ/ES1! daily, 4H, or 1H.
Key Settings (Recommended Starting Values)
Pivot Left/Right Bars: 5/5 (default) → balanced strength.
Increase to 8–10 for stronger, fewer lines (less noise, higher accuracy).
Decrease to 3–4 for more frequent lines (scalping/intraday).
Max Trendlines: 8 (default) → keeps chart readable.
Lower to 4–6 for minimalism; raise to 12–15 for more history.
Min Trend Angle: 15° (default) → filters out flat/weak lines.
Increase to 20–25° for steeper trends only (very clean chart).
Decrease to 10° to see shallower trends.
Line Extension: 100–200 bars → long enough to project forward zones.
Show Labels: On → "R" (red) and "S" (green) marks pivot points.
Turn off for ultra-clean look.
How to Read & Trade with It
Uptrend (Bullish): Greenish upward-sloping lines connecting higher lows → act as dynamic support.
→ Buy pullbacks to the trendline + confirmation (e.g., RSI oversold, volume spike, candlestick reversal).
→ Target next resistance line or previous pivot high.
Downtrend (Bearish): Reddish downward-sloping lines connecting lower highs → act as dynamic resistance.
→ Short rejections at trendline + confirmation (e.g., RSI overbought, bearish engulfing).
→ Target next support line or previous pivot low.
Range / Sideways: Mixed criss-crossing lines → avoid trading or use horizontal S/R levels (when trendlines flatten).
Confluence = where multiple lines cluster → highest-probability zones.
Breakouts: When price closes decisively through a trendline → signals potential trend change or acceleration.
Wait for retest of broken line as new support/resistance.
Pro Trading Tips (High-Probability Setups)
Confluence is King: Trade when price reaches a trendline + horizontal S/R level from pivots (yellow zones if you add confluence logic).
Timeframe Alignment: Use daily lines for bias, 4H/1H for entries.
Confirmation Tools:
RSI(2) < 10 near support (long) or > 90 near resistance (short)
Volume > 20-period SMA on touch
Candlestick patterns (hammer, engulfing) at line
Risk Management:
Stop below support trendline (longs) or above resistance trendline (shorts)
Target 1.5–3R (next major level or opposite line)
Avoid trades if VIX > 25–30 (high volatility kills accuracy)
Best Markets: Strong trends (bullish SPY/QQQ 2020–2025) → 70–85% bounce rate at lines.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Over-trading flat markets → wait for clear trend angle.
Ignoring angle filter → flat lines are noise, not real trends.
Not zooming out → always check higher timeframe (weekly) for major lines.
Performance Insight
Backtests on SPY daily (2010–2025): ~80% price interaction (touch/bounce) at trendlines in trending periods.
Combine with RSI(2) or EMA50 → win rate often >75% on pullback entries.
Kabroda BattleBox Command [Renderer]Kabroda BattleBox Command
This is a specialized visualization utility designed to render pre-calculated institutional price levels on your chart. It is intended for traders who utilize the Kabroda Daily Calibration method to define their intraday execution framework.
How it Works: This script does not calculate levels internally. Instead, it serves as a "renderer" for external data.
Input: The user inputs a comma-separated data string (generated daily via their Kabroda Dashboard calibration) into the settings.
Parsing: The script parses this string to extract 6 key price coordinates: Daily Resistance, Breakout Trigger, Breakdown Trigger, Daily Support, and the 30-minute Opening Range High/Low.
Visualizing: It projects these levels forward in time for the current trading session.
Key Features:
Execution Levels: Plots specific Breakout and Breakdown triggers derived from the opening 30-minute volatility.
Liquidity Sessions: Automatically highlights key global trading hours (London Open, NY AM, NY PM, Tokyo, Sydney) based on New York Time, helping traders visualize volume injection points.
Imbalance Zones (Optional): Identifies and highlights market imbalances created by aggressive buying or selling, which often act as magnets for price re-tests.
Usage Guide:
Step 1: Obtain your daily data string.
Step 2: Open Indicator Settings -> "Daily Calibration".
Step 3: Paste the string into the "Paste Data String" field.
Step 4: The script will instantly render the day's battle map.
Disclaimer: This tool is a visualization aid. It requires valid external data to function. Without the daily input string, the chart will remain blank.
NQ Command Center [EOD Predictor]This is a sophisticated Macro-correlated Dashboard designed specifically for trading NQ (Nasdaq 100). It attempts to predict how the daily candle will close (Green or Red) by combining Price Action (Market Structure) with External Market Drivers (Yields, Volatility, Dollar, and Breadth).
How This Script Works
The script assigns a "Score" to current market conditions. The higher the score, the more bullish the prediction. The lower the score, the more bearish.
1. The "Structure" Score (Price Action) It looks at the Daily High/Low (PDH/PDL) and recent daily trend:
Bullish (+1): We are making Higher Highs/Higher Lows, or price is holding in the top 33% of yesterday's range.
Breakout (+2): Price has broken above the Previous Daily High (PDH).
Bearish (-1/-2): We are making Lower Highs, or price has broken below the Previous Daily Low (PDL).
2. The "Macro" Score (External Data) It pulls data from 5 external tickers to see if the environment supports a move:
ADDQ (Breadth): If > 0, more stocks are advancing than declining (Bullish).
VXN (Volatility): If falling, fear is decreasing (Bullish).
DXY (Dollar) & US10Y (Yields): If these are dropping, it is usually good for Tech/Nasdaq (Bullish).
CVD (Volume): Estimates if volume is dominated by buyers or sellers.
3. The Prediction (The Output) It sums these scores.
Total Score ≥ 4: "STRONG GREEN CLOSE 🚀" (High confidence Longs)
Total Score ≤ -4: "STRONG RED CLOSE 🩸" (High confidence Shorts)
Near 0: "CHOP / NEUTRAL" (Avoid trading or take quick scalps).
How to Use It Effectively
Symbol: Open a chart for NQ1! (Nasdaq Futures) or NDX.
Timeframe: This is designed for Intraday trading. Use 5m, 15m, or 1h charts. (Do not use on Daily chart, as the table lines up intraday data against daily history).
The Dashboard: Look at the table in the top right.
Focus on "AI Forecast": If it says STRONG GREEN, look for Long setups (pullbacks to support).
Check Confidence: If Confidence is "LOW", the macro data might be conflicting with price action (e.g., Price is going up, but Volume is selling). Be careful.
The Lines: The script plots Green (PDH) and Red (PDL) lines on your chart.
These are key reaction points. If price breaks the Green line, the "Live Status" on the dashboard will switch to BREAKOUT.
VolumeValueArea (Double Ref Back)Description :
Overview This indicator is designed for traders who rely on Auction Market Theory and want to identify the market's true Fair Value with precision. It combines two independent Volume Profile instances into a single tool, allowing you to analyze market structure across multiple timeframes simultaneously (e.g., Daily and 4-Hour).
The unique feature of this script is the "Reference Back" logic. Instead of only seeing the current session's profile, you can project the Value Area (VA) and Point of Control (POC) from n periods ago onto the current session. This allows you to immediately see how price reacts to previous areas of high liquidity.
Key Features
Dual Profile Instances: Run two separate profiles (e.g., Profile 1 on 'Daily' and Profile 2 on '4 Hour') within one indicator to find confluence.
Historical Referencing (Offset): Display the levels of past sessions on the current chart.
Offset 0: Shows the developing levels of the current session.
Offset 1: Projects the finished levels of the previous session onto the current price action.
Active Line Projection: Automatically projects the relevant POC and Value Area lines into the future (infinite extension) for the currently active session, making it easy to spot upcoming support and resistance.
Stateless Session Precision: Uses a robust calculation method to ensure session breaks (like the 4-Hour starts) are mathematically precise, regardless of exchange timestamps.
Full Visual Control: Customize line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), widths, and colors for POC, VAH, and VAL independently.
How to Use: Finding Fair Value Clusters
The primary goal of this script is to visualize where "Fair Value" overlaps across different timeframes. This is often called Clustering.
Setup Confluence: Set Profile 1 to a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) and Profile 2 to a lower timeframe (e.g., 4 Hour or 1 Hour).
Analyze the Context: Set the Reference Back to 1. This allows you to trade the current session while seeing the key levels established in the previous session.
Identify Clusters: Look for areas where the Daily POC/Value Area aligns closely with the H4 POC/Value Area.
Strong Support/Resistance: When a Daily VAH aligns with a 4H POC, it creates a "Cluster" of interest.
Acceptance vs. Rejection: If price moves away from a cluster and creates a new value area, the market is seeking a new fair value. If it rotates around the cluster, fair value is established.
Settings Guide
Session Type: Choose between Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 4 Hour, 1 Hour, etc.
Reference Back (n Periods): Determines which past session's levels are drawn on the current bars. 0 = Current, 1 = Previous, 2 = The one before that.
Resolution: The granularity of the volume profile (higher = more precise).
Extend Active: If enabled, the lines for the current calculation period will extend infinitely to the right until a new session begins.
Styles: Configure independent line styles to visually distinguish between Profile 1 (e.g., solid lines) and Profile 2 (e.g., dashed lines).
Risk Disclaimer This tool is for chart analysis and educational purposes only. Past volume nodes do not guarantee future price reactions. Always manage your risk responsibly.
Regime Switch 100/200 SMAWhat it does
Daily, close-only trend regime for any symbol using the 100-day (momentum) and 200-day (regime) SMAs. Classifies the tape into GREEN / YELLOW / RED and stays stable intraday.
How it works (rules)
GREEN = Close > 100D and 100D > 200D -> full risk-on.
YELLOW = Close > 200D and 100D <= 200D -> light risk-on / repair.
RED = Close < 200D -> risk-off.
State changes require N = 2 daily closes (configurable).
Optional +/- band % around 200D to reduce whipsaws.
Always computes on daily data (independent of chart timeframe).
Inputs
Use chart symbol? (else pick a fixed symbol)
Fast SMA length (default 100)
Slow SMA length (default 200)
Daily closes to confirm (default 2)
Buffer band % around 200D (default 0)
Toggles: state-change markers, status panel, SMA labels
Visuals & alerts
Background: GREEN / YELLOW / RED by state
Lines: SMA100 (yellow) and SMA200 (orange)
Markers on state flips; three alertconditions fire on GREEN / YELLOW / RED changes
How to use (workflow)
View with 1D candles , ~ 1Y range .
Decide at the daily close; execute next day’s open.
Example sizing when signaling on QQQ and expressing with TQQQ:
- GREEN -> sleeve 10–15% (cap 20–25%); trim if sleeve > target x 1.25.
- YELLOW -> sleeve 5–8% (half risk).
- RED -> 0%; sit in cash until GREEN or YELLOW returns.
No margin/loans layered on leveraged ETFs.
Notes
Works with regular candles; dividend-adjustment settings can nudge SMA values.
For faster but noisier behavior, shorten to 150/100D or set Confirm=1.
Change log
v1.0: Initial release (daily, 3-state, follows chart symbol, alerts, panel).
Disclosure
Educational use only. Not investment advice.
S/R HTF (D + 4H) | Clusters+Pivots | Stable | Styles+AlertsThis indicator plots higher-timeframe Support/Resistance levels based on the Daily and 4-Hour charts, and keeps them stable (not dependent on how much history is loaded or how you scroll/zoom).
What it does
Daily levels (D) are calculated from the last lenD closed daily candles (default: 120).
4H levels (240) are calculated from the last lenH4 closed 4H candles (default: 300).
Levels come from two sources:
Clusters (value areas): prices where candle closes occur frequently within a narrow range.
The range width is derived from ATR × step multiplier.
Pivots: recent pivot highs and pivot lows (with left/right pivot settings).
The script merges nearby levels (within a tolerance) to avoid duplicates.
Stability / update logic
Levels are computed with request.security() on "D" and "240", so the result is independent of the chart timeframe you’re currently viewing.
Lines are drawn using bar time anchoring and extend mode, so they remain fixed to price and do not “jump” when you zoom or scroll.
Levels are recalculated on a calendar schedule (default: every 2 days, timeframe "2D"). Between recalculations, levels remain unchanged.
Visual customization
From the settings panel you can configure:
Show/hide Daily and/or 4H levels
Show/hide Clusters and/or Pivots
Line width for clusters and pivots
Line style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted) for clusters and pivots
Colors and opacity for Daily and 4H lines
Line extension: Left / Right / Both
Alerts
The indicator can trigger alerts when price:
Touches a level (bar range crosses the level: high >= level and low <= level)
Approaches a level (distance is within a threshold)
Approach threshold can be defined as:
Ticks
ATR multiplier
Percent of price
To use dynamic alert text (level + distance):
Create an alert in TradingView using: “Any alert() function call”.
Notes / limitations
“Last N candles” depends on available symbol history; if the symbol doesn’t have enough Daily/4H history, some levels may be na.
Cluster quality depends on ATR-based bin size; adjusting the step multipliers can improve results per instrument and volatility regime.
Liquidity Maxing [JOAT]Liquidity Maxing - Institutional Liquidity Matrix
Introduction
Liquidity Maxing is an open-source strategy for TradingView built around institutional market structure concepts. It identifies structural shifts, evaluates trades through multi-factor confluence, and implements layered risk controls.
The strategy is designed for swing trading on 4-hour timeframes, focusing on how institutional order flow manifests in price action through structure breaks, inducements, and liquidity sweeps.
Core Functionality
Liquidity Maxing performs three primary functions:
Tracks market structure to identify when control shifts between buyers and sellers
Scores potential trades using an eight-factor confluence system
Manages position sizing and risk exposure dynamically based on volatility and user-defined limits
The goal is selective trading when multiple conditions align, rather than frequent entries.
Market Structure Engine
The structure engine tracks three key events:
Break of Structure (BOS): Price pushes beyond a prior pivot in the direction of trend
Change of Character (CHoCH): Control flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa
Inducement Sweeps (IDM): Market briefly runs stops against trend before moving in the real direction
The structure module continuously updates strong highs and lows, labeling structural shifts visually. IDM markers are optional and disabled by default to maintain chart clarity.
The trade engine requires valid structure alignment before considering entries. No structure, no trade.
Eight-Factor Confluence System
Instead of relying on a single indicator, Liquidity Maxing uses an eight-factor scoring system:
Structure alignment with current trend
RSI within healthy bands (different ranges for up and down trends)
MACD momentum agreement with direction
Volume above adaptive baseline
Price relative to main trend EMA
Session and weekend filter (configurable)
Volatility expansion/contraction via ATR shifts
Higher-timeframe EMA confirmation
Each factor contributes one point to the confluence score. The default minimum confluence threshold is 6 out of 8, but you can adjust this from 1-8 based on your preference for trade frequency versus selectivity.
Only when structure and confluence agree does the strategy proceed to risk evaluation.
Dynamic Risk Management
Risk controls are implemented in multiple layers:
ATR-based stops and targets with configurable risk-to-reward ratio (default 2:1)
Volatility-adjusted position sizing to maintain consistent risk per trade as ranges expand or compress
Daily and weekly risk budgets that halt new entries once thresholds are reached
Correlation cooldown to prevent clustered trades in the same direction
Global circuit breaker with maximum drawdown limit and emergency kill switch
If any guardrail is breached, the strategy will not open new positions. The dashboard clearly displays risk state for transparency.
Market Presets
The strategy includes configuration presets optimized for different market types:
Crypto (BTC/ETH): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.2, enhanced ATR scaling
Forex Majors: RSI bands 75/25, volume multiplier 1.5
Indices (SPY/QQQ): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.3
Custom: Default values for user customization
For crypto assets, the strategy automatically applies ATR volatility scaling to account for higher volatility characteristics.
Monitoring and Dashboards
The strategy includes optional monitoring layers:
Risk Operations Dashboard (top-right):
Trend state
Confluence score
ATR value
Current position size percentage
Global drawdown
Daily and weekly risk consumption
Correlation guard state
Alert mode status
Performance Console (top-left):
Net profit
Current equity
Win rate percentage
Average trade value
Sharpe-style ratio (rolling 50-bar window)
Profit factor
Open trade count
Optional risk tint on chart background provides visual indication of "safe to trade" versus "halted" state.
All visualization elements can be toggled on/off from the inputs for clean chart viewing or full telemetry during parameter tuning.
Alerts and Automation
The strategy supports alert integration with two formats:
Standard alerts: Human-readable messages for long, short, and risk-halt conditions
Webhook format: JSON-formatted payloads ready for external execution systems (optional)
Alert messages are predictable and unambiguous, suitable for manual review or automated forwarding to execution engines.
Built-in Validation Suite
The strategy includes an optional validation layer that can be enabled from inputs. It checks:
Internal consistency of structure and confluence metrics
Sanity and ordering of risk parameters
Position sizing compliance with user-defined floors and caps
This validation is optional and not required for trading, but provides transparency into system operation during development or troubleshooting.
Strategy Parameters
Market Presets:
Configuration Preset: Choose between Crypto (BTC/ETH), Forex Majors, Indices (SPY/QQQ), or Custom
Market Structure Architecture:
Pivot Length: Default 5 bars
Filter by Inducement (IDM): Default enabled

Emergency Kill Switch: Default disabled
Signal Confluence:
RSI Length: Default 14
Trend EMA: Default 200
HTF Confirmation TF: Default Daily
Allow Weekend Trading: Default enabled

Backtesting Considerations
When backtesting this strategy, consider the following:
Commission: Default 0.05% (adjustable in strategy settings)
Initial Capital: Default $100,000 (adjustable)
Position Sizing: Uses percentage of equity (default 2% per trade)
Timeframe: Optimized for 4-hour charts, though can be tested on other timeframes
Results will vary significantly based on:
Market conditions and volatility regimes
Parameter settings, especially confluence threshold
Risk limit configuration
Symbol characteristics (crypto vs forex vs equities)
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Win rate, profit factor, and other metrics should be evaluated in context of drawdown periods, trade frequency, and market conditions.
How to Use This Strategy
This is a framework that requires understanding and parameter tuning, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Recommended workflow:
Start on 4-hour timeframe with default parameters and appropriate market preset
Run backtests and study performance console metrics: focus on drawdown behavior, win rate, profit factor, and trade frequency
Adjust confluence threshold to match your risk appetite—higher thresholds mean fewer but more selective trades
Set realistic daily and weekly risk budgets appropriate for your account size and risk tolerance
Consider ATR multiplier adjustments based on market volatility characteristics
Only connect alerts or automation after thorough testing and parameter validation
Treat this as a risk framework with an integrated entry engine, not merely an entry signal generator. The risk controls are as important as the trade signals.
Strategy Limitations
Designed for swing trading timeframes; may not perform optimally on very short timeframes
Requires sufficient market structure to identify pivots; may struggle in choppy or low-volatility environments
Crypto markets require different parameter tuning than traditional markets
Risk limits may prevent entries during favorable setups if daily/weekly budgets are exhausted
Correlation cooldown may delay entries that would otherwise be valid
Backtesting results depend on data quality and may not reflect live trading with slippage
Design Philosophy
Many indicators tell you when price crossed a moving average or RSI left oversold. This strategy addresses questions institutional traders ask:
Who is in control of the market right now?
Is this move structurally significant or just noise?
Do I want to add more risk given what I've already done today/week?
If I'm wrong, exactly how painful can this be?
The strategy provides disciplined, repeatable answers to these questions through systematic structure analysis, confluence filtering, and multi-layer risk management.
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with:
Custom types for structure, confluence, and risk state management
Functional programming approach for reusable calculations
State management through persistent variables
Optional visual elements that can be toggled independently
The code is open-source and can be modified to suit individual needs. All important logic is visible in the source code.

Advanced custom multi MA signals (EMA/SMA/VWMA/VWAP) Features of Multi Moving Averages
The biggest enemy in trading is "Noise." If you get swayed by minute fluctuations on the chart, you end up missing the forest for the trees.
This indicator (Advanced Custom Multi MA Signals) is not just a simple line. By combining the three core elements of Price, Time, and Volume, it acts as a navigation system that visualizes the market's "true trend." In particular, the ability to analyze 5 moving averages simultaneously across various timeframes is akin to viewing a 3D map of the battlefield.
Understanding Core Concepts
This indicator supports 4 types of moving averages. It is crucial to clearly understand the nature of each tool.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): The most basic average value. Since it produces fewer whipsaws (false signals), it is used as a baseline to judge the "long-term trend."
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Places more weight on recent prices. It reacts sensitively to market changes, making it advantageous for identifying "entry points."
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Incorporates "volume" into the price calculation. It acts as a "false signal filter," weeding out price moves that aren't backed by trading volume.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): The benchmark price used by institutional investors for daily trading. It is calculated based on the session, regardless of the period settings. It is considered the "lifeline" of day trading.
Indicator Settings Guide
Open the settings window and tune it to fit your trading style.
MA 01 ~ 05 (Moving Average Settings)
MA Type: Select according to your purpose. (Generally, EMA is recommended for short-term analysis, SMA/VWMA for long-term).
Length: Enter the period you wish to analyze (e.g., 20, 60, 120, 200).
Timeframe: This is the core feature. It allows you to overlay moving averages from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour, Daily) onto the chart you are currently viewing (e.g., 15-minute).
Signal Option (Trading Signals)
Golden Cross (GC) / Death Cross (DC): Captures the moment the short-term line breaks through the long-term line. You can run up to 3 strategies simultaneously.
Ribbon Gradient (Trend Visualization)
Represents the gap between two moving averages with color. As the color deepens and the width expands, it indicates a powerful trend; if the width narrows, it suggests a high probability of a trend reversal.
5 Usage Strategies
The highlight of this indicator is the cross strategy utilizing the "Multi-Timeframe (MTF)" feature. Familiarize yourself with the 5 example strategies below and set up your own strategy based on your expertise.
💡 Tip 1. Do not go against the "Major Trend" (The Authority of the Weekly Candle)
Settings: Set MA5 to .
Interpretation: The Weekly 50 line is the "major trend line" managed by institutions and market makers. If the current price is above this line, maintain only a "Buy (Long)" bias; if below, maintain only a "Sell (Short)" bias. Adhering to this rule alone can help you avoid massive losses.
💡 Tip 2. Highly Reliable "Swing Signal" (Daily Golden Cross)
Settings: In Signal 1, configure the Short MA to and the Long MA to .
Interpretation: A Golden Cross where the 4-Hour 50 EMA breaks above the Daily 50 EMA often signifies a major "trend reversal" rather than a temporary rebound. This provides an ideal entry signal for office workers or swing traders who need high reliability.
💡 Tip 3. 4-Hour Candle as the Standard for "Precision Entry"
Situation: When the Daily trend is rising (Bullish alignment).
Strategy: While watching the 15-minute or 1-hour chart, set the indicator's Signal 2 to the cross of and .
Interpretation: When the Daily chart is in an uptrend, a Golden Cross occurring on the 4-Hour chart marks "the point where a correction (pullback) ends and the rise resumes." This is the entry point with the best risk-to-reward ratio.
💡 Tip 4. Filtering Out "Fake Signals" (The Secret of Volume)
Strategy: When creating a cross signal, try using VWMA (Volume Weighted) for the Long MA, even if you use EMA for the Short MA.
Reason: A Golden Cross caused simply by a rise in price can be a trap. However, if it breaks through the heavy VWMA line accompanied by volume, it is strong evidence that "genuine liquidity" has entered.
💡 Tip 5. Remember the "Hierarchy" (Higher Timeframe Priority Rule)
Principle: If a Golden Cross (Buy Signal) appears on the 4-Hour chart, but the Daily chart is in a Death Cross (Sell Signal) state, do not enter.
Interpretation: A signal from a lower timeframe cannot overcome the power of a higher timeframe. The professional approach is to trade with significant volume only when signals align (Sync) in the order of Weekly > Daily > 4-Hour. Keep this indicator's dashboard feature on and always check the status of higher timeframes.
Signal Generation Principle (Operating Mechanism)
Signals are generated when the set short-term moving average and long-term moving average cross each other.
📈 1. Golden Cross (BUY = Buy Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses upward from below the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent buying pressure has broken through the resistance level accumulated over a long period.
📉 2. Death Cross (SELL = Sell Signal)
Situation: The moment the short-term MA crosses downward from above the long-term MA.
Principle: It implies that recent selling pressure has collapsed the long-term support line.
※ If the candles are not displaying correctly or are flickering, please set the indicator's 'Visual order' to 'Bring to front' as shown in the image below.
Investment Caution and Disclaimer
Before using this indicator for actual trading, please strictly read the contents below.
① Auxiliary indicators are a "Compass," not a "Book of Prophecy."
This indicator is merely a tool that mathematically calculates and visualizes past price data. A "magic indicator" that predicts future price fluctuations 100% accurately or guarantees profit does not exist. The signals provided are for reference only and must never be the sole basis for entry/exit decisions.
② The responsibility for all investments lies with "Yourself."
Financial investment (Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Futures, etc.) involves high volatility and is a risky activity that can result in the loss of some or all of the principal. The final responsibility for all trading results (profits and losses) incurred by utilizing this indicator lies entirely with the investor. The distributor and developer accept no legal responsibility for investment results under any circumstances.
③ Past data does not guarantee the future.
Even a Golden Cross that fit perfectly in backtesting or past charts may operate differently in tomorrow's market situation (News, Macroeconomics, Unexpected Variables, etc.). Do not rely solely on technical analysis; you must conduct fundamental analysis and risk management in parallel.
④ Risk management is the top priority.
No matter how promising a signal appears, "all-in trading" (investing all assets in a single trade) is a shortcut to bankruptcy. More important than the indicator itself is adhering to the principles of strict scaling in (split buying) and Stop-Loss.
Nifty Hierarchical Macro GuardOverview
The Nifty Hierarchical Macro Guard is a "Market Compass" indicator specifically designed for Indian equity traders. It locks its logic to the Nifty 50 Index (NSE:NIFTY) and applies a strict hierarchy of trend analysis. The goal is simple: prioritize the long-term trend (Monthly/Weekly) to decide if you should even be in the market, then use the short-term trend (Daily) for precise exit timing.
This script ensures you never ignore a macro "crash" signal while trying to trade minor daily fluctuations.
The Color Hierarchy (Priority Logic)
The indicator uses a "Top-Down" filter. Higher timeframe signals override lower timeframe signals:
Level 1: Monthly (Ultra-Macro) — Deep Maroon
Condition: Nifty 10 EMA is below the 20 EMA on the Monthly chart.
Action: This is the highest priority. The background will turn Deep Maroon, overriding all other colors. This is your "Forget Trading" signal. The long-term structural trend is broken.
Level 2: Weekly (Macro Warning) — Dark Red
Condition: Monthly is Bullish, but Nifty 10 EMA is below the 20 EMA on the Weekly chart.
Action: The background turns Dark Red. This indicates a significant macro correction. You should stay out of fresh positions and protect capital.
Level 3: Daily (Tactical) — Light Red / Light Green
Condition: Both Monthly and Weekly are Bullish (Green).
Action: The background will now react to the Daily 10/20 EMA cross.
Light Green: Nifty is healthy; safe for fresh positions.
Light Red: Tactical exit signal. Nifty is seeing short-term weakness; exit positions quickly.
Key Features
Symbol Locked: No matter what stock you are viewing (Reliance, HDFC, Midcaps), the background only reacts to NSE:NIFTY.
Clean Interface: No messy lines or labels on the price chart. The information is conveyed purely through background color shifts.
Customizable: Change the MA types (EMA/SMA) and lengths (e.g., 10/20 or 20/50) in the settings.
Macro Dashboard: A small, transparent table in the top-right corner displays exactly which timeframe is currently controlling the background color.
How to Use for Nifty Strategy
Stay Out: If the chart is Deep Maroon or Dark Red, do not look for "buying the dip." Wait for the macro health to return.
Take Exits: If the background is Light Green and suddenly turns Light Red, it means the Daily Daily 10/20 cross has happened. Exit your Nifty-sensitive positions immediately.
ORB Fusion🎯 CORE INNOVATION: INSTITUTIONAL ORB FRAMEWORK WITH FAILED BREAKOUT INTELLIGENCE
ORB Fusion represents a complete institutional-grade Opening Range Breakout system combining classic Market Profile concepts (Initial Balance, day type classification) with modern algorithmic breakout detection, failed breakout reversal logic, and comprehensive statistical tracking. Rather than simply drawing lines at opening range extremes, this system implements the full trading methodology used by professional floor traders and market makers—including the critical concept that failed breakouts are often higher-probability setups than successful breakouts .
The Opening Range Hypothesis:
The first 30-60 minutes of trading establishes the day's value area —the price range where the majority of participants agree on fair value. This range is formed during peak information flow (overnight news digestion, gap reactions, early institutional positioning). Breakouts from this range signal directional conviction; failures to hold breakouts signal trapped participants and create exploitable reversals.
Why Opening Range Matters:
1. Information Aggregation : Opening range reflects overnight news, pre-market sentiment, and early institutional orders. It's the market's initial "consensus" on value.
2. Liquidity Concentration : Stop losses cluster just outside opening range. Breakouts trigger these stops, creating momentum. Failed breakouts trap traders, forcing reversals.
3. Statistical Persistence : Markets exhibit range expansion tendency —when price accepts above/below opening range with volume, it often extends 1.0-2.0x the opening range size before mean reversion.
4. Institutional Behavior : Large players (market makers, institutions) use opening range as reference for the day's trading plan. They fade extremes in rotation days and follow breakouts in trend days.
Historical Context:
Opening Range Breakout methodology originated in commodity futures pits (1970s-80s) where floor traders noticed consistent patterns: the first 30-60 minutes established a "fair value zone," and directional moves occurred when this zone was violated with conviction. J. Peter Steidlmayer formalized this observation in Market Profile theory, introducing the "Initial Balance" concept—the first hour (two 30-minute periods) defining market structure.
📊 OPENING RANGE CONSTRUCTION
Four ORB Timeframe Options:
1. 5-Minute ORB (0930-0935 ET):
Captures immediate market direction during "opening drive"—the explosive first few minutes when overnight orders hit the tape.
Use Case:
• Scalping strategies
• High-frequency breakout trading
• Extremely liquid instruments (ES, NQ, SPY)
Characteristics:
• Very tight range (often 0.2-0.5% of price)
• Early breakouts common (7 of 10 days break within first hour)
• Higher false breakout rate (50-60%)
• Requires sub-minute chart monitoring
Psychology: Captures panic buyers/sellers reacting to overnight news. Range is small because sample size is minimal—only 5 minutes of price discovery. Early breakouts often fail because they're driven by retail FOMO rather than institutional conviction.
2. 15-Minute ORB (0930-0945 ET):
Balances responsiveness with statistical validity. Captures opening drive plus initial reaction to that drive.
Use Case:
• Day trading strategies
• Balanced scalping/swing hybrid
• Most liquid instruments
Characteristics:
• Moderate range (0.4-0.8% of price typically)
• Breakout rate ~60% of days
• False breakout rate ~40-45%
• Good balance of opportunity and reliability
Psychology: Includes opening panic AND the first retest/consolidation. Sophisticated traders (institutions, algos) start expressing directional bias. This is the "Goldilocks" timeframe—not too reactive, not too slow.
3. 30-Minute ORB (0930-1000 ET):
Classic ORB timeframe. Default for most professional implementations.
Use Case:
• Standard intraday trading
• Position sizing for full-day trades
• All liquid instruments (equities, indices, futures)
Characteristics:
• Substantial range (0.6-1.2% of price)
• Breakout rate ~55% of days
• False breakout rate ~35-40%
• Statistical sweet spot for extensions
Psychology: Full opening auction + first institutional repositioning complete. By 10:00 AM ET, headlines are digested, early stops are hit, and "real" directional players reveal themselves. This is when institutional programs typically finish their opening positioning.
Statistical Advantage: 30-minute ORB shows highest correlation with daily range. When price breaks and holds outside 30m ORB, probability of reaching 1.0x extension (doubling the opening range) exceeds 60% historically.
4. 60-Minute ORB (0930-1030 ET) - Initial Balance:
Steidlmayer's "Initial Balance"—the foundation of Market Profile theory.
Use Case:
• Swing trading entries
• Day type classification
• Low-frequency institutional setups
Characteristics:
• Wide range (0.8-1.5% of price)
• Breakout rate ~45% of days
• False breakout rate ~25-30% (lowest)
• Best for trend day identification
Psychology: Full first hour captures A-period (0930-1000) and B-period (1000-1030). By 10:30 AM ET, all early positioning is complete. Market has "voted" on value. Subsequent price action confirms (trend day) or rejects (rotation day) this value assessment.
Initial Balance Theory:
IB represents the market's accepted value area . When price extends significantly beyond IB (>1.5x IB range), it signals a Trend Day —strong directional conviction. When price remains within 1.0x IB, it signals a Rotation Day —mean reversion environment. This classification completely changes trading strategy.
🔬 LTF PRECISION TECHNOLOGY
The Chart Timeframe Problem:
Traditional ORB indicators calculate range using the chart's current timeframe. This creates critical inaccuracies:
Example:
• You're on a 5-minute chart
• ORB period is 30 minutes (0930-1000 ET)
• Indicator sees only 6 bars (30min ÷ 5min/bar = 6 bars)
• If any 5-minute bar has extreme wick, entire ORB is distorted
The Problem Amplifies:
• On 15-minute chart with 30-minute ORB: Only 2 bars sampled
• On 30-minute chart with 30-minute ORB: Only 1 bar sampled
• Opening spike or single large wick defines entire range (invalid)
Solution: Lower Timeframe (LTF) Precision:
ORB Fusion uses `request.security_lower_tf()` to sample 1-minute bars regardless of chart timeframe:
```
For 30-minute ORB on 15-minute chart:
- Traditional method: Uses 2 bars (15min × 2 = 30min)
- LTF Precision: Requests thirty 1-minute bars, calculates true high/low
```
Why This Matters:
Scenario: ES futures, 15-minute chart, 30-minute ORB
• Traditional ORB: High = 5850.00, Low = 5842.00 (range = 8 points)
• LTF Precision ORB: High = 5848.50, Low = 5843.25 (range = 5.25 points)
Difference: 2.75 points distortion from single 15-minute wick hitting 5850.00 at 9:31 AM then immediately reversing. LTF precision filters this out by seeing it was a fleeting wick, not a sustained high.
Impact on Extensions:
With inflated range (8 points vs 5.25 points):
• 1.5x extension projects +12 points instead of +7.875 points
• Difference: 4.125 points (nearly $200 per ES contract)
• Breakout signals trigger late; extension targets unreachable
Implementation:
```pinescript
getLtfHighLow() =>
float ha = request.security_lower_tf(syminfo.tickerid, "1", high)
float la = request.security_lower_tf(syminfo.tickerid, "1", low)
```
Function returns arrays of 1-minute high/low values, then finds true maximum and minimum across all samples.
When LTF Precision Activates:
Only when chart timeframe exceeds ORB session window:
• 5-minute chart + 30-minute ORB: LTF used (chart TF > session bars needed)
• 1-minute chart + 30-minute ORB: LTF not needed (direct sampling sufficient)
Recommendation: Always enable LTF Precision unless you're on 1-minute charts. The computational overhead is negligible, and accuracy improvement is substantial.
⚖️ INITIAL BALANCE (IB) FRAMEWORK
Steidlmayer's Market Profile Innovation:
J. Peter Steidlmayer developed Market Profile in the 1980s for the Chicago Board of Trade. His key insight: market structure is best understood through time-at-price (value area) rather than just price-over-time (traditional charts).
Initial Balance Definition:
IB is the price range established during the first hour of trading, subdivided into:
• A-Period : First 30 minutes (0930-1000 ET for US equities)
• B-Period : Second 30 minutes (1000-1030 ET)
A-Period vs B-Period Comparison:
The relationship between A and B periods forecasts the day:
B-Period Expansion (Bullish):
• B-period high > A-period high
• B-period low ≥ A-period low
• Interpretation: Buyers stepping in after opening assessed
• Implication: Bullish continuation likely
• Strategy: Buy pullbacks to A-period high (now support)
B-Period Expansion (Bearish):
• B-period low < A-period low
• B-period high ≤ A-period high
• Interpretation: Sellers stepping in after opening assessed
• Implication: Bearish continuation likely
• Strategy: Sell rallies to A-period low (now resistance)
B-Period Contraction:
• B-period stays within A-period range
• Interpretation: Market indecisive, digesting A-period information
• Implication: Rotation day likely, stay range-bound
• Strategy: Fade extremes, sell high/buy low within IB
IB Extensions:
Professional traders use IB as a ruler to project price targets:
Extension Levels:
• 0.5x IB : Initial probe outside value (minor target)
• 1.0x IB : Full extension (major target for normal days)
• 1.5x IB : Trend day threshold (classifies as trending)
• 2.0x IB : Strong trend day (rare, ~10-15% of days)
Calculation:
```
IB Range = IB High - IB Low
Bull Extension 1.0x = IB High + (IB Range × 1.0)
Bear Extension 1.0x = IB Low - (IB Range × 1.0)
```
Example:
ES futures:
• IB High: 5850.00
• IB Low: 5842.00
• IB Range: 8.00 points
Extensions:
• 1.0x Bull Target: 5850 + 8 = 5858.00
• 1.5x Bull Target: 5850 + 12 = 5862.00
• 2.0x Bull Target: 5850 + 16 = 5866.00
If price reaches 5862.00 (1.5x), day is classified as Trend Day —strategy shifts from mean reversion to trend following.
📈 DAY TYPE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Four Day Types (Market Profile Framework):
1. TREND DAY:
Definition: Price extends ≥1.5x IB range in one direction and stays there.
Characteristics:
• Opens and never returns to IB
• Persistent directional movement
• Volume increases as day progresses (conviction building)
• News-driven or strong institutional flow
Frequency: ~20-25% of trading days
Trading Strategy:
• DO: Follow the trend, trail stops, let winners run
• DON'T: Fade extremes, take early profits
• Key: Add to position on pullbacks to previous extension level
• Risk: Getting chopped in false trend (see Failed Breakout section)
Example: FOMC decision, payroll report, earnings surprise—anything creating one-sided conviction.
2. NORMAL DAY:
Definition: Price extends 0.5-1.5x IB, tests both sides, returns to IB.
Characteristics:
• Two-sided trading
• Extensions occur but don't persist
• Volume balanced throughout day
• Most common day type
Frequency: ~45-50% of trading days
Trading Strategy:
• DO: Take profits at extension levels, expect reversals
• DON'T: Hold for massive moves
• Key: Treat each extension as a profit-taking opportunity
• Risk: Holding too long when momentum shifts
Example: Typical day with no major catalysts—market balancing supply and demand.
3. ROTATION DAY:
Definition: Price stays within IB all day, rotating between high and low.
Characteristics:
• Never accepts outside IB
• Multiple tests of IB high/low
• Decreasing volume (no conviction)
• Classic range-bound action
Frequency: ~25-30% of trading days
Trading Strategy:
• DO: Fade extremes (sell IB high, buy IB low)
• DON'T: Chase breakouts
• Key: Enter at extremes with tight stops just outside IB
• Risk: Breakout finally occurs after multiple failures
Example: [/b> Pre-holiday trading, summer doldrums, consolidation after big move.
4. DEVELOPING:
Definition: Day type not yet determined (early in session).
Usage: Classification before 12:00 PM ET when IB extension pattern unclear.
ORB Fusion's Classification Algorithm:
```pinescript
if close > ibHigh:
ibExtension = (close - ibHigh) / ibRange
direction = "BULLISH"
else if close < ibLow:
ibExtension = (ibLow - close) / ibRange
direction = "BEARISH"
if ibExtension >= 1.5:
dayType = "TREND DAY"
else if ibExtension >= 0.5:
dayType = "NORMAL DAY"
else if close within IB:
dayType = "ROTATION DAY"
```
Why Classification Matters:
Same setup (bullish ORB breakout) has opposite implications:
• Trend Day : Hold for 2.0x extension, trail stops aggressively
• Normal Day : Take profits at 1.0x extension, watch for reversal
• Rotation Day : Fade the breakout immediately (likely false)
Knowing day type prevents catastrophic errors like fading a trend day or holding through rotation.
🚀 BREAKOUT DETECTION & CONFIRMATION
Three Confirmation Methods:
1. Close Beyond Level (Recommended):
Logic: Candle must close above ORB high (bull) or below ORB low (bear).
Why:
• Filters out wicks (temporary liquidity grabs)
• Ensures sustained acceptance above/below range
• Reduces false breakout rate by ~20-30%
Example:
• ORB High: 5850.00
• Bar high touches 5850.50 (wick above)
• Bar closes at 5848.00 (inside range)
• Result: NO breakout signal
vs.
• Bar high touches 5850.50
• Bar closes at 5851.00 (outside range)
• Result: BREAKOUT signal confirmed
Trade-off: Slightly delayed entry (wait for close) but much higher reliability.
2. Wick Beyond Level:
Logic: [/b> Any touch of ORB high/low triggers breakout.
Why:
• Earliest possible entry
• Captures aggressive momentum moves
Risk:
• High false breakout rate (60-70%)
• Stop runs trigger signals
• Requires very tight stops (difficult to manage)
Use Case: Scalping with 1-2 point profit targets where any penetration = trade.
3. Body Beyond Level:
Logic: [/b> Candle body (close vs open) must be entirely outside range.
Why:
• Strictest confirmation
• Ensures directional conviction (not just momentum)
• Lowest false breakout rate
Example: Trade-off: [/b> Very conservative—misses some valid breakouts but rarely triggers on false ones.
Volume Confirmation Layer:
All confirmation methods can require volume validation:
Volume Multiplier Logic: Rationale: [/b> True breakouts are driven by institutional activity (large size). Volume spike confirms real conviction vs. stop-run manipulation.
Statistical Impact: [/b>
• Breakouts with volume confirmation: ~65% success rate
• Breakouts without volume: ~45% success rate
• Difference: 20 percentage points edge
Implementation Note: [/b>
Volume confirmation adds complexity—you'll miss breakouts that work but lack volume. However, when targeting 1.5x+ extensions (ambitious goals), volume confirmation becomes critical because those moves require sustained institutional participation.
Recommended Settings by Strategy: [/b>
Scalping (1-2 point targets): [/b>
• Method: Close
• Volume: OFF
• Rationale: Quick in/out doesn't need perfection
Intraday Swing (5-10 point targets): [/b>
• Method: Close
• Volume: ON (1.5x multiplier)
• Rationale: Balance reliability and opportunity
Position Trading (full-day holds): [/b>
• Method: Body
• Volume: ON (2.0x multiplier)
• Rationale: Must be certain—large stops require high win rate
🔥 FAILED BREAKOUT SYSTEM
The Core Insight: [/b>
Failed breakouts are often more profitable [/b> than successful breakouts because they create trapped traders with predictable behavior.
Failed Breakout Definition: [/b>
A breakout that:
1. Initially penetrates ORB level with confirmation
2. Attracts participants (volume spike, momentum)
3. Fails to extend (stalls or immediately reverses)
4. Returns inside ORB range within N bars
Psychology of Failure: [/b>
When breakout fails:
• Breakout buyers are trapped [/b>: Bought at ORB high, now underwater
• Early longs reduce: Take profit, fearful of reversal
• Shorts smell blood: See failed breakout as reversal signal
• Result: Cascade of selling as trapped bulls exit + new shorts enter
Mirror image for failed bearish breakouts (trapped shorts cover + new longs enter).
Failure Detection Parameters: [/b>
1. Failure Confirmation Bars (default: 3): [/b>
How many bars after breakout to confirm failure?
Logic: Settings: [/b>
• 2 bars: Aggressive failure detection (more signals, more false failures)
• 3 bars Balanced (default)
• 5-10 bars: Conservative (wait for clear reversal)
Why This Matters:
Too few bars: You call "failed breakout" when price is just consolidating before next leg.
Too many bars: You miss the reversal entry (price already back in range).
2. Failure Buffer (default: 0.1 ATR): [/b>
How far inside ORB must price return to confirm failure?
Formula: Why Buffer Matters: clear rejection [/b> (not just hovering at level).
Settings: [/b>
• 0.0 ATR: No buffer, immediate failure signal
• 0.1 ATR: Small buffer (default) - filters noise
• [b>0.2-0.3 ATR: Large buffer - only dramatic failures count
Example: Reversal Entry System: [/b>
When failure confirmed, system generates complete reversal trade:
For Failed Bull Breakout (Short Reversal): [/b>
Entry: [/b> Current close when failure confirmed
Stop Loss: [/b> Extreme high since breakout + 0.10 ATR padding
Target 1: [/b> ORB High - (ORB Range × 0.5)
Target 2: Target 3: [/b> ORB High - (ORB Range × 1.5)
Example:
• ORB High: 5850, ORB Low: 5842, Range: 8 points
• Breakout to 5853, fails, reverses to 5848 (entry)
• Stop: 5853 + 1 = 5854 (6 point risk)
• T1: 5850 - 4 = 5846 (-2 points, 1:3 R:R)
• T2: 5850 - 8 = 5842 (-6 points, 1:1 R:R)
• T3: 5850 - 12 = 5838 (-10 points, 1.67:1 R:R)
[b>Why These Targets? [/b>
• T1 (0.5x ORB below high): Trapped bulls start panic
• T2 (1.0x ORB = ORB Mid): Major retracement, momentum fully reversed
• T3 (1.5x ORB): Reversal extended, now targeting opposite side
Historical Performance: [/b>
Failed breakout reversals in ORB Fusion's tracking system show:
• Win Rate: 65-75% (significantly higher than initial breakouts)
• Average Winner: 1.2x ORB range
• Average Loser: 0.5x ORB range (protected by stop at extreme)
• Expectancy: Strongly positive even with <70% win rate
Why Failed Breakouts Outperform: [/b>
1. Information Advantage: You now know what price did (failed to extend). Initial breakout trades are speculative; reversal trades are reactive to confirmed failure.
2. Trapped Participant Pressure: Every trapped bull becomes a seller. This creates sustained pressure.
3. Stop Loss Clarity: Extreme high is obvious stop (just beyond recent high). Breakout trades have ambiguous stops (ORB mid? Recent low? Too wide or too tight).
4. Mean Reversion Edge: Failed breakouts return to value (ORB mid). Initial breakouts try to escape value (harder to sustain).
Critical Insight: [/b>
"The best trade is often the one that trapped everyone else."
Failed breakouts create asymmetric opportunity because you're trading against [/b> trapped participants rather than with [/b> them. When you see a failed breakout signal, you're seeing real-time evidence that the market rejected directional conviction—that's exploitable.
📐 FIBONACCI EXTENSION SYSTEM
Six Extension Levels: [/b>
Extensions project how far price will travel after ORB breakout. Based on Fibonacci ratios + empirical market behavior.
1. 1.272x (27.2% Extension): [/b>
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 0.272)
Psychology: [/b> Initial probe beyond ORB. Early momentum + trapped shorts (on bull side) covering.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~75-80% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• First resistance/support after breakout
• Partial profit target (take 30-50% off)
• Watch for rejection here (could signal failure in progress)
Why 1.272? [/b> Related to harmonic patterns (1.272 is √1.618). Empirically, markets often stall at 25-30% extension before deciding whether to continue or fail.
2. 1.5x (50% Extension):
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 0.5)
Psychology: [/b> Breakout gaining conviction. Requires sustained buying/selling (not just momentum spike).
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~60-65% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• Major partial profit (take 50-70% off)
• Move stops to breakeven
• Trail remaining position
Why 1.5x? [/b> Classic halfway point to 2.0x. Markets often consolidate here before final push. If day type is "Normal," this is likely the high/low for the day.
3. 1.618x (Golden Ratio Extension): [/b>
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 0.618)
Psychology: [/b> Strong directional day. Institutional conviction + retail FOMO.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~45-50% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• Final partial profit (close 80-90%)
• Trail remainder with wide stop (allow breathing room)
Why 1.618? [/b> Fibonacci golden ratio. Appears consistently in market geometry. When price reaches 1.618x extension, move is "mature" and reversal risk increases.
4. 2.0x (100% Extension): [/b>
Formula: ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 1.0)
Psychology: [/b> Trend day confirmed. Opening range completely duplicated.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~30-35% after confirmed breakout
Trading: Why 2.0x? [/b> Psychological level—range doubled. Also corresponds to typical daily ATR in many instruments (opening range ~ 0.5 ATR, daily range ~ 1.0 ATR).
5. 2.618x (Super Extension):
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 1.618)
Psychology: [/b> Parabolic move. News-driven or squeeze.
Probability of Reach: [/b> ~10-15% after confirmed breakout
[b>Trading: Why 2.618? [/b> Fibonacci ratio (1.618²). Rare to reach—when it does, move is extreme. Often precedes multi-day consolidation or reversal.
6. 3.0x (Extreme Extension): [/b>
Formula: [/b> ORB High/Low + (ORB Range × 2.0)
Psychology: [/b> Market melt-up/crash. Only in extreme events.
[b>Probability of Reach: [/b> <5% after confirmed breakout
Trading: [/b>
• Close immediately if reached
• These are outlier events (black swans, flash crashes, squeeze-outs)
• Holding for more is greed—take windfall profit
Why 3.0x? [/b> Triple opening range. So rare it's statistical noise. When it happens, it's headline news.
Visual Example:
ES futures, ORB 5842-5850 (8 point range), Bullish breakout:
• ORB High : 5850.00 (entry zone)
• 1.272x : 5850 + 2.18 = 5852.18 (first resistance)
• 1.5x : 5850 + 4.00 = 5854.00 (major target)
• 1.618x : 5850 + 4.94 = 5854.94 (strong target)
• 2.0x : 5850 + 8.00 = 5858.00 (trend day)
• 2.618x : 5850 + 12.94 = 5862.94 (extreme)
• 3.0x : 5850 + 16.00 = 5866.00 (parabolic)
Profit-Taking Strategy:
Optimal scaling out at extensions:
• Breakout entry at 5850.50
• 30% off at 1.272x (5852.18) → +1.68 points
• 40% off at 1.5x (5854.00) → +3.50 points
• 20% off at 1.618x (5854.94) → +4.44 points
• 10% off at 2.0x (5858.00) → +7.50 points
[b>Average Exit: Conclusion: [/b> Scaling out at extensions produces 40% higher expectancy than holding for home runs.
📊 GAP ANALYSIS & FILL PSYCHOLOGY
[b>Gap Definition: [/b>
Price discontinuity between previous close and current open:
• Gap Up : Open > Previous Close + noise threshold (0.1 ATR)
• Gap Down : Open < Previous Close - noise threshold
Why Gaps Matter: [/b>
Gaps represent unfilled orders [/b>. When market gaps up, all limit buy orders between yesterday's close and today's open are never filled. Those buyers are "left behind." Psychology: they wait for price to return ("fill the gap") so they can enter. This creates magnetic pull [/b> toward gap level.
Gap Fill Statistics (Empirical): [/b>
• Gaps <0.5% [/b>: 85-90% fill within same day
• Gaps 0.5-1.0% [/b>: 70-75% fill within same day, 90%+ within week
• Gaps >1.0% [/b>: 50-60% fill within same day (major news often prevents fill)
Gap Fill Strategy: [/b>
Setup 1: Gap-and-Go
Gap opens, extends away from gap (doesn't fill).
• ORB confirms direction away from gap
• Trade WITH ORB breakout direction
• Expectation: Gap won't fill today (momentum too strong)
Setup 2: Gap-Fill Fade
Gap opens, but fails to extend. Price drifts back toward gap.
• ORB breakout TOWARD gap (not away)
• Trade toward gap fill level
• Target: Previous close (gap fill complete)
Setup 3: Gap-Fill Rejection
Gap fills (touches previous close) then rejects.
• ORB breakout AWAY from gap after fill
• Trade away from gap direction
• Thesis: Gap filled (orders executed), now resume original direction
[b>Example: Scenario A (Gap-and-Go):
• ORB breaks upward to $454 (away from gap)
• Trade: LONG breakout, expect continued rally
• Gap becomes support ($452)
Scenario B (Gap-Fill):
• ORB breaks downward through $452.50 (toward gap)
• Trade: SHORT toward gap fill at $450.00
• Target: $450.00 (gap filled), close position
Scenario C (Gap-Fill Rejection):
• Price drifts to $450.00 (gap filled) early in session
• ORB establishes $450-$451 after gap fill
• ORB breaks upward to $451.50
• Trade: LONG breakout (gap is filled, now resume rally)
ORB Fusion Integration: [/b>
Dashboard shows:
• Gap type (Up/Down/None)
• Gap size (percentage)
• Gap fill status (Filled ✓ / Open)
This informs setup confidence:
• ORB breakout AWAY from unfilled gap: +10% confidence (gap becomes support/resistance)
• ORB breakout TOWARD unfilled gap: -10% confidence (gap fill may override ORB)
[b>📈 VWAP & INSTITUTIONAL BIAS [/b>
[b>Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP): [/b>
Average price weighted by volume at each price level. Represents true "average" cost for the day.
[b>Calculation: Institutional Benchmark [/b>: Institutions (mutual funds, pension funds) use VWAP as performance benchmark. If they buy above VWAP, they underperformed; below VWAP, they outperformed.
2. [b>Algorithmic Target [/b>: Many algos are programmed to buy below VWAP and sell above VWAP to achieve "fair" execution.
3. [b>Support/Resistance [/b>: VWAP acts as dynamic support (price above) or resistance (price below).
[b>VWAP Bands (Standard Deviations): [/b>
• [b>1σ Band [/b>: VWAP ± 1 standard deviation
- Contains ~68% of volume
- Normal trading range
- Bounces common
• [b>2σ Band [/b>: VWAP ± 2 standard deviations
- Contains ~95% of volume
- Extreme extension
- Mean reversion likely
ORB + VWAP Confluence: [/b>
Highest-probability setups occur when ORB and VWAP align:
Bullish Confluence: [/b>
• ORB breakout upward (bullish signal)
• Price above VWAP (institutional buying)
• Confidence boost: +15%
Bearish Confluence: [/b>
• ORB breakout downward (bearish signal)
• Price below VWAP (institutional selling)
• Confidence boost: +15%
[b>Divergence Warning:
• ORB breakout upward BUT price below VWAP
• Conflict: Breakout says "buy," VWAP says "sell"
• Confidence penalty: -10%
• Interpretation: Retail buying but institutions not participating (lower quality breakout)
📊 MOMENTUM CONTEXT SYSTEM
[b>Innovation: Candle Coloring by Position
Rather than fixed support/resistance lines, ORB Fusion colors candles based on their [b>relationship to ORB :
[b>Three Zones: [/b>
1. Inside ORB (Blue Boxes): [/b>
[b>Calculation:
• Darker blue: Near extremes of ORB (potential breakout imminent)
• Lighter blue: Near ORB mid (consolidation)
[b>Trading: [/b> Coiled spring—await breakout.
[b>2. Above ORB (Green Boxes):
[b>Calculation: 3. Below ORB (Red Boxes):
Mirror of above ORB logic.
[b>Special Contexts: [/b>
[b>Breakout Bar (Darkest Green/Red): [/b>
The specific bar where breakout occurs gets maximum color intensity regardless of distance. This highlights the pivotal moment.
[b>Failed Breakout Bar (Orange/Warning): [/b>
When failed breakout is confirmed, that bar gets orange/warning color. Visual alert: "reversal opportunity here."
[b>Near Extension (Cyan/Magenta Tint): [/b>
When price is within 0.5 ATR of an extension level, candle gets tinted cyan (bull) or magenta (bear). Indicates "target approaching—prepare to take profit."
[b>Why Visual Context? [/b>
Traditional indicators show lines. ORB Fusion shows [b>context-aware momentum [/b>. Glance at chart:
• Lots of blue? Consolidation day (fade extremes).
• Progressive green? Trend day (follow).
• Green then orange? Failed breakout (reversal setup).
This visual language communicates market state instantly—no interpretation needed.
🎯 TRADE SETUP GENERATION & GRADING [/b>
[b>Algorithmic Setup Detection: [/b>
ORB Fusion continuously evaluates market state and generates current best trade setup with:

• [b>C [/b>: Marginal setup. Only if very experienced.
• [b>D [/b>: Poor setup or no setup. Don't trade.
[b>Example Scenario: [/b>
ES futures:
• ORB: 5842-5850 (8 point range)
• Bullish breakout to 5851 confirmed
• Volume: 2.0x average (confirmed)
• VWAP: 5845 (price above VWAP ✓)
• Day type: Developing (too early, no bonus)
• Gap: None
[b>Setup: [/b>
• Action: LONG

📖 NARRATIVE DASHBOARD
[b>Innovation: Plain-English Market State [/b>
Most indicators show data. ORB Fusion explains what the data [b>means [/b>.
[b>Narrative Components: [/b>
[b>1. Phase: [/b>
• "📍 Building ORB..." (during ORB session)
• "📊 Trading Phase" (after ORB complete)
• "⏳ Pre-Market" (before ORB session)
[b>2. Status (Current Observation): [/b>
• "⚠️ Failed breakout - reversal likely"
• "🚀 Bullish momentum in play"
• "📉 Bearish momentum in play"
• "⚖️ Consolidating in range"
• "👀 Monitoring for setup"
[b>3. Next Level:
Tells you what to watch for:
• "🎯 1.5x @ 5854.00" (next extension target)
• "Watch ORB levels" (inside range, await breakout)
[b>4. Setup: [/b>
Current trade setup + grade:
• "LONG " (bullish breakout, A-grade)
• "🔥 SHORT REVERSAL " (failed bull breakout, A+-grade)
• "WAIT " (no setup)
[b>5. Reason: [/b>
Why this setup exists:
• "ORB Bullish Breakout"
• "Failed Bear Breakout - High Probability Reversal"
• "Range Fade - Near High"
[b>6. Tip (Market Insight):
Contextual advice:
• "🔥 TREND DAY - Trail stops" (day type is trending)
• "🔄 ROTATION - Fade extremes" (day type is rotating)
• "📊 Gap unfilled - magnet level" (gap creates target)
• "📈 Normal conditions" (no special context)
[b>Example Narrative:
```
📖 ORB Narrative
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Phase | 📊 Trading Phase
Status | 🚀 Bullish momentum in play
Next | 🎯 1.5x @ 5854.00
📈 Setup | LONG
Reason | ORB Bullish Breakout
💡 Tip | 🔥 TREND DAY - Trail stops
```
[b>Glance Interpretation: [/b>
"We're in trading phase. Bullish breakout happened (momentum in play). Next target is 1.5x extension at 5854. Current setup is LONG with A-grade. It's a trend day, so trail stops (don't take early profits)."
Complete market state communicated in 6 lines. No interpretation needed.
[b>Why This Matters:
Beginner traders struggle with "So what?" question. Indicators show lines and signals, but what does it mean [/b>? Narrative dashboard bridges this gap.
Professional traders benefit too—rapid context assessment during fast-moving markets. No time to analyze; glance at narrative, get action plan.
🔔 INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
[b>Four Alert Types: [/b>
[b>1. Breakout Alert: [/b>
[b>Trigger: [/b> ORB breakout confirmed (bull or bear)
[b>Message: [/b>
```
🚀 ORB BULLISH BREAKOUT
Price: 5851.00
Volume Confirmed
Grade: A
```
[b>Frequency: [/b> Once per bar (prevents spam)
[b>2. Failed Breakout Alert: [/b>

```
🔥 FAILED BULLISH BREAKOUT!
HIGH PROBABILITY SHORT REVERSAL
Entry: 5848.00
Stop: 5854.00
T1: 5846.00
T2: 5842.00
Historical Win Rate: 73%
```
[b>Why Comprehensive? [/b> Failed breakout alerts include complete trade plan. You can execute immediately from alert—no need to check chart.
[b>3. Extension Alert:
[b>Trigger: [/b> Price reaches extension level for first time
[b>Message: [/b>
```
🎯 Bull Extension 1.5x reached @ 5854.00
```
[b>Use: [/b> Profit-taking reminder. When extension hit, consider scaling out.
[b>4. IB Break Alert: [/b>
[b>Trigger: [/b> Price breaks above IB high or below IB low
[b>Message: [/b>
```
📊 IB HIGH BROKEN - Potential Trend Day
```
[b>Use: [/b> Day type classification. IB break suggests trend day developing—adjust strategy to trend-following mode.
[b>Alert Management: [/b>
Each alert type can be enabled/disabled independently. Prevents notification overload.
[b>Cooldown Logic: [/b>
Alerts won't fire if same alert type triggered within last bar. Prevents:
• "Breakout" alert every tick during choppy breakout
• Multiple "extension" alerts if price oscillates at level
Ensures: One clean alert per event.

[b>🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL [/b>
[b>Phase 1: Learning the System (Week 1) [/b>
[b>Goal: [/b> Understand ORB concepts and dashboard interpretation
[b>Setup: [/b>
• Display Mode: STANDARD
• ORB Timeframe: 30 minutes
• Enable ALL features (IB, extensions, failed breakouts, VWAP, gap analysis)
• Enable statistics tracking
[b>Actions: [/b>
• Paper trade ONLY—no real money
• Observe ORB formation every day (9:30-10:00 AM ET for US markets)
• Note when ORB breakouts occur and if they extend
• Note when breakouts fail and reversals happen
• Watch day type classification evolve during session
• Track statistics—which setups are working?
[b>Key Learning: [/b>
• How often do breakouts reach 1.5x extension? (typically 50-60% of confirmed breakouts)
• How often do breakouts fail? (typically 30-40%)
• Which setup grade (A/B/C) actually performs best? (should see A-grade outperforming)
• What day type produces best results? (trend days favor breakouts, rotation days favor fades)
[b>Phase 2: Parameter Optimization (Week 2) [/b>
[b>Goal: [/b> Tune system to your instrument and timeframe
[b>ORB Timeframe Selection:
• Run 5 days with 15-minute ORB
• Run 5 days with 30-minute ORB
• Compare: Which captures better breakouts on your instrument?
• Typically: 30-minute optimal for most, 15-minute for very liquid (ES, SPY)
[b>Volume Confirmation Testing:
• Run 5 days WITH volume confirmation
• Run 5 days WITHOUT volume confirmation
• Compare: Does volume confirmation increase win rate?
• If win rate improves by >5%: Keep volume confirmation ON
• If no improvement: Turn OFF (avoid missing valid breakouts)
[b>Failed Breakout Bars:
[b>Goal: [/b> Develop personal trading rules based on system signals
[b>Setup Selection Rules: [/b>
Define which setups you'll trade:
• [b>Conservative: [/b> Only A+ and A grades
• [b>Balanced: [/b> A+, A, B+ grades
• [b>Aggressive: [/b> All grades B and above
Test each approach for 5-10 trades, compare results.
[b>Position Sizing by Grade: [/b>
Consider risk-weighting by setup quality:
• A+ grade: 100% position size
• A grade: 75% position size
• B+ grade: 50% position size
• B grade: 25% position size
Example: If max risk is $1000/trade:
• A+ setup: Risk $1000
• A setup: Risk $750
• B+ setup: Risk $500
This matches bet sizing to edge.
[b>Day Type Adaptation: [/b>
Create rules for different day types:
Trend Days:
• Take ALL breakout signals (A/B/C grades)
• Hold for 2.0x extension minimum
• Trail stops aggressively (1.0 ATR trail)
• DON'T fade—reversals unlikely
Rotation Days:
• ONLY take failed breakout reversals
• Ignore initial breakout signals (likely to fail)
• Take profits quickly (0.5x extension)
• Focus on fade setups (Fade High/Fade Low)
Normal Days:
• Take A/A+ breakout signals only
• Take ALL failed breakout reversals (high probability)
• Target 1.0-1.5x extensions
• Partial profit-taking at extensions
Time-of-Day Rules: [/b>
Breakouts at different times have different probabilities:
10:00-10:30 AM (Early Breakout):
• ORB just completed
• Fresh breakout
• Probability: Moderate (50-55% reach 1.0x)
• Strategy: Conservative position sizing
10:30-12:00 PM (Mid-Morning):
• Momentum established
• Volume still healthy
• Probability: High (60-65% reach 1.0x)
• Strategy: Standard position sizing
12:00-2:00 PM (Lunch Doldrums):
• Volume dries up
• Whipsaw risk increases
• Probability: Low (40-45% reach 1.0x)
• Strategy: Avoid new entries OR reduce size 50%
2:00-4:00 PM (Afternoon Session):
• Late-day positioning
• EOD squeezes possible
• Probability: Moderate-High (55-60%)
• Strategy: Watch for IB break—if trending all day, follow
[b>Phase 4: Live Micro-Sizing (Month 2) [/b>
[b>Goal: [/b> Validate paper trading results with minimal risk
[b>Setup: [/b>
• 10-20% of intended full position size
• Take ONLY A+ and A grade setups
• Follow stop loss and targets religiously
[b>Execution: [/b>
• Execute from alerts OR from dashboard setup box
• Entry: Close of signal bar OR next bar market order
• Stop: Use exact stop from setup (don't widen)
• Targets: Scale out at T1/T2/T3 as indicated
[b>Tracking: [/b>
• Log every trade: Entry, Exit, Grade, Outcome, Day Type
• Calculate: Win rate, Average R-multiple, Max consecutive losses
• Compare to paper trading results (should be within 15%)
[b>Red Flags: [/b>
• Win rate <45%: System not suitable for this instrument/timeframe
• Major divergence from paper trading: Execution issues (slippage, late entries, emotional exits)
• Max consecutive losses >8: Hitting rough patch OR market regime changed
[b>Phase 5: Scaling Up (Months 3-6)
[b>Goal: [/b> Gradually increase to full position size
[b>Progression: [/b>
• Month 3: 25-40% size (if micro-sizing profitable)
• Month 4: 40-60% size
• Month 5: 60-80% size
• Month 6: 80-100% size
[b>Milestones Required to Scale Up: [/b>
• Minimum 30 trades at current size
• Win rate ≥48%
• Profit factor ≥1.2
• Max drawdown <20%
• Emotional control (no revenge trading, no FOMO)
[b>Advanced Techniques:
[b>Multi-Timeframe ORB: Assumes first 30-60 minutes establish value. Violation: Market opens after major news, price discovery continues for hours (opening range meaningless).
2. [b>Volume Indicates Conviction: ES, NQ, RTY, SPY, QQQ—high liquidity, clean ORB formation, reliable extensions
• [b>Large-Cap Stocks: AAPL, MSFT, TSLA, NVDA (>$5B market cap, >5M daily volume)
• [b>Liquid Futures: CL (crude oil), GC (gold), 6E (EUR/USD), ZB (bonds)—24hr markets benefit from session ORBs
• [b>Major Forex Pairs: [/b> EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY—London/NY session ORBs work well
[b>Performs Poorly On: [/b>
• [b>Illiquid Stocks: <$1M daily volume, wide spreads, gappy price action
• [b>Penny Stocks: [/b> Manipulated, pump-and-dump, no real price discovery
• [b>Low-Volume ETFs: Exotic sector ETFs, leveraged products with thin volume
• [b>Crypto on Sketchy Exchanges: Wash trading, spoofing invalidates volume analysis
• [b>Earnings Days: [/b> ORB completes before earnings release, then completely resets (useless)
• Binary Event Days: FDA approvals, court rulings—discontinuous price action
[b>Known Weaknesses: [/b>
• [b>Slow Starts: ORB doesn't complete until 10:00 AM (30-min ORB). Early morning traders have no signals for 30 minutes. Consider using 15-minute ORB if this is problematic.
• [b>Failure Detection Lag: [/b> Failed breakout requires 3+ bars to confirm. By the time system signals reversal, price may have already moved significantly back inside range. Manual traders watching in real-time can enter earlier.
• [b>Extension Overshoot: [/b> System projects extensions mathematically (1.5x, 2.0x, etc.). Actual moves may stop short (1.3x) or overshoot (2.2x). Extensions are targets, not magnets.
• [b>Day Type Misclassification: [/b> Early in session, day type is "Developing." By the time it's classified definitively (often 11:00 AM+), half the day is over. Strategy adjustments happen late.
• [b>Gap Assumptions: [/b> System assumes gaps want to fill. Strong trend days never fill gaps (gap becomes support/resistance forever). Blindly trading toward gaps can backfire on trend days.
• [b>Volume Data Quality: Forex doesn't have centralized volume (uses tick volume as proxy—less reliable). Crypto volume is often fake (wash trading). Volume confirmation less effective on these instruments.
• [b>Multi-Session Complexity: [/b> When using Asian/London/NY ORBs simultaneously, chart becomes cluttered. Requires discipline to focus on relevant session for current time.
[b>Risk Factors: [/b>
• [b>Opening Gaps: Large gaps (>2%) can create distorted ORBs. Opening range might be unusually wide or narrow, making extensions unreliable.
• [b>Low Volatility Environments:[/b> When VIX <12, opening ranges can be tiny (0.2-0.3%). Extensions are equally tiny. Profit targets don't justify commission/slippage.
• [b>High Volatility Environments:[/b> When VIX >30, opening ranges are huge (2-3%+). Extensions project unrealistic targets. Failed breakouts happen faster (volatility whipsaw).
• [b>Algorithm Dominance:[/b> In heavily algorithmic markets (ES during overnight session), ORB levels can be manipulated—algos pin price to ORB high/low intentionally. Breakouts become stop-runs rather than genuine directional moves.
[b>⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE[/b>
Trading futures, stocks, options, forex, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Opening Range Breakout strategies, while based on sound market structure principles, do not guarantee profits and can result in significant losses.
The ORB Fusion indicator implements professional trading concepts including Opening Range theory, Market Profile Initial Balance analysis, Fibonacci extensions, and failed breakout reversal logic. These methodologies have theoretical foundations but past performance—whether backtested or live—is not indicative of future results.
Opening Range theory assumes the first 30-60 minutes of trading establish a meaningful value area and that breakouts from this range signal directional conviction. This assumption may not hold during:
• Major news events (FOMC, NFP, earnings surprises)
• Market structure changes (circuit breakers, trading halts)
• Low liquidity periods (holidays, early closures)
• Algorithmic manipulation or spoofing
Failed breakout detection relies on patterns of trapped participant behavior. While historically these patterns have shown statistical edges, market conditions change. Institutional algorithms, changing market structure, or regime shifts can reduce or eliminate edges that existed historically.
Initial Balance classification (trend day vs rotation day vs normal day) is a heuristic framework, not a deterministic prediction. Day type can change mid-session. Early classification may prove incorrect as the day develops.
Extension projections (1.272x, 1.5x, 1.618x, 2.0x, etc.) are probabilistic targets derived from Fibonacci ratios and empirical market behavior. They are not "support and resistance levels" that price must reach or respect. Markets can stop short of extensions, overshoot them, or ignore them entirely.
Volume confirmation assumes high volume indicates institutional participation and conviction. In algorithmic markets, volume can be artificially high (HFT activity) or artificially low (dark pools, internalization). Volume is a proxy, not a guarantee of conviction.
LTF precision sampling improves ORB accuracy by using 1-minute bars but introduces additional data dependencies. If 1-minute data is unavailable, inaccurate, or delayed, ORB calculations will be incorrect.
The grading system (A+/A/B+/B/C/D) and confidence scores aggregate multiple factors (volume, VWAP, day type, IB expansion, gap context) into a single assessment. This is a mechanical calculation, not artificial intelligence. The system cannot adapt to unprecedented market conditions or events outside its programmed logic.
Real trading involves slippage, commissions, latency, partial fills, and rejected orders not present in indicator calculations. ORB Fusion generates signals at bar close; actual fills occur with delay. Opening range forms during highest volatility (first 30 minutes)—spreads widen, slippage increases. Execution quality significantly impacts realized results.
Statistics tracking (win rates, extension levels reached, day type distribution) is based on historical bars in your lookback window. If lookback is small (<50 bars) or market regime changed, statistics may not represent future probabilities.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, and broker execution environment. Paper trade extensively (100+ trades minimum) before risking capital. Start with micro position sizing (5-10% of intended size) for 50+ trades to validate execution quality matches expectations.
Never risk more than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing (0.5-2% risk per trade maximum). Implement stop losses on every single trade without exception. Understand that most retail traders lose money—sophisticated indicators do not change this fundamental reality. They systematize analysis but cannot eliminate risk.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any purpose. Users assume full responsibility for all trading decisions, parameter selections, risk management, and outcomes.
By using this indicator, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these risk disclosures and limitations, and you accept full responsibility for all trading activity and potential losses.

[b>═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════[/b>
Opening Range Breakout is not a trick. It's a framework. The first 30-60 minutes reveal where participants believe value lies. Breakouts signal directional conviction. Failures signal trapped participants. Extensions define profit targets. Day types dictate strategy. Failed breakouts create the highest-probability reversals.
ORB Fusion doesn't predict the future—it identifies [b>structure[/b>, detects [b>breakouts[/b>, recognizes [b>failures[/b>, and generates [b>probabilistic trade plans[/b> with defined risk and reward.
The edge is not in the opening range itself. The edge is in recognizing when the market respects structure (follow breakouts) versus when it violates structure (fade breakouts). The edge is in detecting failures faster than discretionary traders. The edge is in systematic classification that prevents catastrophic errors—like fading a trend day or holding through rotation.
Most indicators draw lines. ORB Fusion implements a complete institutional trading methodology: Opening Range theory, Market Profile classification, failed breakout intelligence, Fibonacci projections, volume confirmation, gap psychology, and real-time performance tracking.
Whether you're a beginner learning market structure or a professional seeking systematic ORB implementation, this system provides the framework.

## 📊 How It Works
### Signal Logic
The indicator identifies two types of signals:
**Base Signals** (Small triangles):
- Price pulls back between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
- RSI is in the swing zone (40-60 by default)
- Price reclaims the Fast EMA with momentum
- Optional: Volume spike confirmation
**High-Confidence Signals** (Large triangles):
- All base signal criteria met
- Higher timeframe confirms the trend direction
- HTF RSI and slope alignment
- These are your primary trade signals
### Entry Conditions
#### Long Entry (🟢 HC L)
1. Fast EMA > Slow EMA (uptrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses above and closes above Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price above EMA50, RSI > 50, positive slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average
#### Short Entry (🔻 HC S)
1. Fast EMA < Slow EMA (downtrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses below and closes below Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price below EMA50, RSI < 50, negative slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average

- **HTF Setting**: One level higher than your chart
- If trading 1H → Set HTF to 4H or D
- If trading 4H → Set HTF to D or W
- If trading Daily → Set HTF to W
### Market Conditions
**Best Performance**:
- Trending markets with healthy pullbacks
- Clear support/resistance zones
- Moderate volatility
**Avoid Trading**:
- Extremely choppy/sideways markets
- Major news events (unless experienced)
- Low confidence scores (<40%)

Trinity ATR Real Move DetectorTrinity ATR Real Move Detector
This ATR Energy Table indicator is one of the simplest yet most powerful filters you can have on a chart when trading short-dated or 0DTE options or swing trades on any timeframe from 1-minute up to 4-hour. Its entire job is to answer the single most important question in intraday and swing trading: “Does the underlying actually have enough short-term explosive energy right now to make a directional position worth the theta and the spread, or is this just pretty candles that will die in ten minutes?”
Most losing 0DTE and short-dated option trades happen because people buy or sell direction on a “nice-looking” breakout or pullback while the underlying is actually in low-energy grind mode. The premium decays faster than the move develops, and you lose even when you’re “right” on direction. This little table stops that from ever happening again.
Here’s what it does in plain English:
Every bar it measures two things:
- The current ATR on whatever timeframe you are using (1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, etc.). This tells you how big the average true range of the last 14 bars has been — in other words, how violently the stock or index is actually moving right now.
- The daily ATR (14-period on the daily chart). This is your benchmark for “normal” daily movement over the last two–three weeks.
It then multiplies the daily ATR by a small number (the multiplier you set) and compares the two. If the short-term ATR is bigger than that percentage of the daily ATR, the table turns bright green and says “ENOUGH ENERGY”. If not, it stays red and says “NOT ENOUGH”.
Why this works so well:
- Real explosive moves that carry for 0DTE and 1–3 DTE options almost always show a short-term ATR spike well above the recent daily average. Quiet grind moves never do.
- The comparison is completely adaptive — on a high-vol day the threshold automatically rises, on a low-vol day it automatically drops. You never have to guess if “2 points on SPY is big today”.
- It removes emotion completely. You simply wait for green before you even think about clicking buy or sell on an option.
Key settings and what to do with them:
- Energy Multiplier — this is the only number you ever touch. It is expressed as a decimal (0.15 = 15 % of the daily ATR). Lower = more signals, higher = stricter and higher win rate. The tooltip gives you the exact sweet-spot numbers for every popular timeframe (0.09 for 1-minute scalping, 0.13 for 3-minute, 0.14–0.16 for 5-minute, 0.15–0.19 for 10-minute, etc.). Just pick your timeframe once and type the number — done forever.
- ATR Length — leave it at 14. That’s the standard and works perfectly.
- Table Position — move the table to wherever you want on the chart (top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left, top-left).
- Table Size — make the text Tiny, Small, Normal or Large depending on how much screen space you have.
How this helps you make money and stop losing it:
- On most days you will see red 80–90 % of the time — that’s good! It is forcing you to sit on your hands instead of overtrading low-energy chop that eats premium.
- When it finally flips green you know institutions are actually pushing size right now — follow-through probability jumps from ~40 % to 65–75 % depending on the stock and timeframe.
- You stop buying calls on every green candle and puts on every red candle. You only strike when the market is genuinely “awake”.
- Over a week you take dramatically fewer trades, but your win rate and average winner size go way up — which is exactly how consistent intraday option profits are made.
In short, this tiny table is the closest thing to an “edge on/off switch” that exists for short-dated options. Red = preserve capital and go do something else. Green = pull the trigger with confidence. Use it religiously and you’ll immediately feel the difference in your P&L.
Session Sweep System – WarRoomXYZ V1WarRoom Session Sweep System v1 is a open-source institutional trading framework built to identify liquidity behavior across Asia, London, and New York sessions.
It combines session-based liquidity mapping, sweep detection, daily expansion modeling, and trend confirmation into a unified, timing-driven system optimized for XAUUSD, FX pairs, indices, and any instrument with session-dependent volatility.
This tool does not attempt to predict direction with arbitrary oscillators.
Instead, it focuses on the underlying market mechanisms that drive price:
liquidity, timing, expansion, and trend alignment.
Below is a detailed explanation of what the script does, how its components work, and how traders can use it effectively.
🔹 1. Session Liquidity Mapping
The script automatically identifies the Asia (00:00–06:00 GMT), London (07:00–12:00 GMT), and New York (13:00–17:00 GMT) sessions and builds real-time session ranges.
Each session creates a liquidity pool.
Trading institutions frequently sweep the high or low of one session before delivering the real move in the next session.
This script captures that behavior by:
►Drawing session range boxes
►Tracking previous session highs/lows
►Highlighting high-probability sweep locations
These ranges are essential reference points for timing entries and exits.
🔹 2. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Buy & Sell Sweeps)
The indicator identifies when price runs a previous session high/low and rejects back inside the range, which is commonly interpreted as a liquidity sweep.
The following sweep types are monitored:
►London sweeping Asia
►New York sweeping London
►Asia sweeping New York
►Daily sweep of PDH/PDL
Sweeps signal that liquidity has been collected and that a potential reversal or continuation is likely.
These are marked clearly on the chart for real-time decision-making.
🔹 3. Killzone Timing Model (GMT Time)
Market manipulation and expansion often occur during specific time windows.
The script highlights these institutional killzones:
►London Killzone: 07:00–10:00 GMT
►New York Killzone: 13:30–15:30 GMT
►NY PM Session: 19:00–21:00 GMT
Sweeps occurring inside these windows carry a significantly higher probability.
The timing layer helps filter out low-quality setups.
🔹 4. Daily Range & ADR Expansion Engine
A dedicated panel displays:
►Current day range
►ADR (Average Daily Range)
►Expansion stage (Early / Developed / Extended)
►PDH/PDL swept or intact
►Overall session bias
This allows traders to understand whether the daily move is likely to continue or reverse.
For example:
►Early expansion → trend continuation likely
►Extended expansion → reversal setups become more probable
This is useful for intraday targets and risk management.
🔹 5. MA Cloud Trend Model (Fast/Slow Structure)
To align liquidity behavior with directional conviction, the script includes a configurable MA engine:
►Fast & slow MA
►MA cloud
►Slope-based trend coloring
►Trend background
►MA cross alerts
The cloud provides trend confirmation without relying on oscillators.
Trades are higher quality when the sweep direction aligns with the MA trend.
🔹 6. How the Components Work Together
The script integrates several institutional concepts into one coherent model:
►Sessions define liquidity pools
►Sweeps identify stop-hunts and reversals
►Killzones define optimal timing
►MA Cloud confirms directional bias
►ADR engine indicates expansion potential
This creates a structured framework:
Sweep → Timing → Trend → Expansion → Execution
Each component strengthens the others, forming a robust decision-making model.
🔹 7. How to Use the Indicator (Practical Guide)
✔ Look for a sweep of a previous session level
When price runs a session high/low and closes back inside, liquidity has likely been collected.
✔ Confirm timing
Sweeps inside London or NY killzones tend to produce the strongest moves.
✔ Confirm trend
Use MA cloud direction and slope:
►Cloud green → long setups preferred
►Cloud red → short setups preferred
✔ Check ADR panel
If the day has already expanded significantly, reversal setups are more likely.
If expansion is still early, continuation setups are favored.
✔ Plan your trade
Common targets include:
►Opposite side of session range
►ADR High/Low
►PDH/PDL
Stops are typically placed beyond the sweep wick.
This creates a repeatable, rule-based approach to intraday liquidity trading.
🔹 8. Why This Script Is Original
This is not a mashup of existing open-source indicators.
It introduces:
►A custom session-linked liquidity sweep engine
►A structured daily expansion model
►Integrated killzone timing aligned with GMT
►A unified bias panel merging sweeps, ADR, and session manipulation
►A trend confirmation layer designed around session behavior
While it uses known institutional concepts, their integration, execution, and timing framework are unique, purpose-built, and not directly found in open-source scripts.
🔹 9. Suitable Markets
This indicator works best on:
►XAUUSD
►Major FX pairs
►US indices
►Synthetic markets with session cycles
Ideal timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m
🔹 10. Limitations / Notes
This is an analytical tool, not a buy/sell signal generator
All sweeps are confirmed at candle close (non-repaint)
The tool assumes GMT session windows unless chart time differs
Users must practice risk management and entry triggers manually
