Adaptive Volatility Stop by Pedro Paulo de MeloStop ATR is a clean and reliable volatility-based trailing stop system, built to adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR).
It identifies trend direction, adjusts the stop level using stair-step logic, and automatically flips the stop when price reversals occur.
How it works
Uses ATR × Multiplier to calculate an adaptive volatility buffer
Tracks trend direction internally
Recomputes and repositions the stop when a trend flip is detected
Plots separate lines for bullish and bearish stop states
Works on any market and timeframe (crypto, forex, commodities, indices, stocks)
Why it’s useful
This Stop ATR implementation is extremely stable and visually clean.
It is particularly effective for:
Trend following
Position management
Swing and position trading
Systematic stop placement
Unlike many ATR-based stop versions, this script uses a corrected flip-handling method that prevents stop misalignment and ensures consistent trend state tracking.
Inputs
Period — ATR length
Multiplier — ATR factor that defines stop distance

FRPC - Fractal Reversal Permission ComponentThis tool identifies high-probability reversal points using a three-stage confirmation model:
1️⃣ Liquidity Sweep (LS)
Price must take out a previous fractal high/low, indicating stop-hunt liquidity removal.
2️⃣ Reclaim (RC)
After sweeping liquidity, price must close back inside the previous swing, showing absorption and rejection.
3️⃣ Break of Structure (BOS)
A structural break confirms a true shift in market direction and avoids false reversal signals.
FRPC only triggers BUY or SELL signals when all three layers align, creating actionable reversal conditions rather than random fractal noise.
This approach helps avoid chasing breakouts, filters low-quality sweeps, and identifies areas where reversals are statistically more likely.
------------------------------------
What FRRC Helps You Identify
------------------------------------
True reversals after stop-hunts
Liquidity grabs followed by displacement
Avoiding fake breakouts
Swing points with strong reaction potential
High-probability turning points with real structure support
----------
Sidenote
----------
The accuracy of the signals range from 56% to 72% and is mainly designed to be a structural filter to be paired with a strong exhaustion system. This is just a bare bones version and I plan to work on a more advanced version yo pair with the current exhaustion systems I'm building out

MTF 4h Structure + FVG (CORRECTED)This is a fully customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) indicator for SMC traders. It overlays true Higher Timeframe market structure onto your current chart. While it defaults to the 4-Hour (4h) structure, you can easily change this to 1h, Daily, or Weekly in the settings to suit your strategy.
Key Features:
1. Dynamic MTF Overlay: Select any Higher Timeframe (HTF) in the settings. The script calculates true pivots on that timeframe and projects them onto your chart without repainting issues.
2. Active Dealing Range: Automatically displays the Swing High and Swing Low of the selected HTF.
3. Equilibrium (EQ): Marks the 50% level of the range to help you identify Premium (Sell) vs. Discount (Buy) zones.
4. HTF Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Detects and draws unmitigated FVGs from your selected timeframe, acting as high-probability POIs.
Visuals & Logic:
- Green/Red: Signals CHoCH (Trend Reversals).
- Gray: Signals BOS (Trend Continuation) - keeping the chart clean.
- Smart Calculation: Calculates structure explicitly on the HTF data to prevent false signals on lower timeframes.
How to use:
1. Add to your chart (e.g., 5m or 15m).
2. Open Settings -> Select your desired "Higher Timeframe" (Default is 4h).
3. Trade in the direction of the HTF Trend (Labels) and look for entries within HTF FVGs in the correct Discount/Premium zone.
TrendPeriodsThis indicator is binary. It is either BUY or SELL. In other word the value is either 0 or 1

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR
```

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds
□ Daily journal template prepared
□ Emotional state: calm, patient, focused
□ Account size: Minimum $10,000 recommended
□ Understand auto-disappear behavior (ORBs delete at session end)
□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH

## 💎 THE CORE PRINCIPLE

╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ "The ORB doesn't predict the market. ║
║ The ORB reveals where institutions are positioned. ║
║ ║
║ When you see all 3 ORBs align and break, ║
║ you're not guessing direction— ║
║ you're following the billion-dollar order flow." ║

✅ Multiple candles consolidating inside
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-3x normal targets (explosive move)
WIN RATE: 60-70% | R:R = 1:4+ (volatility expansion)

```
---
### **SETUP #4: VWAP RETEST CONTINUATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:

```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing Matrix**
```
Account Size: $50,000 example
Risk Per Trade: 1-2% max
ORB Range | Stop Distance | Position Size (1% risk) | YM Contracts
-------------|---------------|-------------------------|-------------
50 points | 50 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
100 points | 100 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
150 points | 150 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
200 points | 200 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per point) = Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule**
```
✅ Strike 1: Full position size
❌ Stop hit → Strike 2: Half position size
❌ Stop hit → Strike 3: 1/4 position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE for the session
```
### **Profit Taking Strategy**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1x): Take 30% off, trail stop 20 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x): Take 15% off, let 5% run to 2x-3x
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (wait until 10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
🚫 ORB range < 30 points YM (too tight, likely fake breakout)
🚫 ORB range > 300 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (walk away)
🚫 Price whipsawing violently (wait for structure)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, or distracted
```
---
## 🔍 PRE-MARKET CHECKLIST
**Every Morning Before Trading:**

---
## 🧠 PATTERN RECOGNITION QUICK GUIDE
### **Bullish ORB Patterns**
```
1. "Staircase" → Price respects each target as new support
2. "Rocket Launch" → Clean break through all targets no pullback
3. "VWAP Bounce" → Pullback to VWAP, then continuation higher
4. "Triple Compression" → All ORBs converge then explosive breakout
```
### **Bearish ORB Patterns**
```
1. "Waterfall" → Price cascades through all downside targets
2. "Failed High" → Breaks top, immediately reverses to bottom
3. "VWAP Rejection" → Hits VWAP from above, hard rejection down
4. "Slow Bleed" → Gradual drift lower, respecting each target
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns**
```
1. "Ping Pong" → Price bouncing between ORB high/low repeatedly
2. "Flat VWAP" → VWAP horizontal, price hugging it (no trade)
3. "Wide Range" → ORB > 300 points, too much uncertainty
4. "Gap Confusion" → Opens far outside all ORBs, wait for reset
```
---
## 📊 CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
**Rate Each Trade 1-10 Before Entry:**
```
Breakout confirmed (30min ORB): +2 points
VWAP alignment: +2 points
Volume spike on breakout: +1 point
All 3 ORBs align: +1 point
Clean candle close beyond ORB: +1 point
Your YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal: +2 points
Time: 10:00-11:30 AM ET window: +1 point
SCORING:
9-10 points = SNIPER SETUP (maximum size)
7-8 points = GOOD TRADE (standard size)
5-6 points = MARGINAL (half size or skip)
< 5 points = NO TRADE (wait for better)
```
---
## 🎯 INTEGRATION WITH YM ULTIMATE SNIPER v8.1
**The Perfect Confluence:**
```
STEP 1: SNIPER ORB identifies the STRUCTURE
→ 30min ORB defines "Zones That Matter"
→ VWAP shows institutional bias
→ Targets define profit zones
STEP 2: YM ULTIMATE SNIPER triggers the ENTRY
→ Wait for GOD MODE signal at ORB boundary
→ 6-gate system confirms institutional pressure
→ Score ≥9.0, fat body ≥70%, delta dominance ≥70%
STEP 3: Execute with PRECISION
→ ORB break + GOD MODE = highest probability
→ Enter only when BOTH systems align
→ This is TRUE "sniper" trading
```
---
## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
```
❌ Entering BEFORE 30min ORB completes
✅ Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London)
❌ Ignoring VWAP position
✅ Always check: is VWAP confirming your directional bias?
❌ Chasing breakouts after 50+ point move
✅ Wait for pullback to VWAP or first target
❌ Trading during lunch (12-1 PM ET)
✅ Volume dies, false signals increase
❌ Using same target % in all conditions
✅ Adjust: 30-40% in chop, 50-75% in trends
❌ Forgetting to move stop to breakeven at Target 1
✅ NEVER give back a winning trade
❌ Overtrading on slow days
✅ Some days only have 1-2 clean setups, that's okay!
❌ Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ 3 losses = done, come back tomorrow
```

## 🏆 WINNING TRADER MINDSET
```
"I don't need to trade every ORB breakout.
I only need the HIGH-PROBABILITY setups.
3-5 trades per day is enough.
90%+ win rate on those 3-5 trades = success.
Patience + Precision = Profitability"
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**Indicator Not Showing?**
- Check max_boxes/max_lines limits in code
- Verify you're on 1min-30min timeframe
- Ensure TradingView session is 9:30-17:00 ET
**ORBs Look Wrong?**
- Verify timezone: should be "America/New_York"
- Check if market has DST adjustment today
- Confirm broker chart time matches indicator
**VWAP Disappeared?**
- Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" in settings
- Check if session ended (auto-disappears at 5 PM)
- Verify you're not in pre-market hours
**Targets Too Close/Far?**
- Adjust "Target % Increment" setting
- 30% = tighter, 75% = wider
- Default 50% works for most conditions

📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable

## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds
□ Daily journal template prepared
□ Emotional state: calm, patient, focused
□ Account size: Minimum $10,000 recommended
□ Understand auto-disappear behavior (ORBs delete at session end)
□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH

GLI / Asset Structural Trend RatioBasicly I asked AI to create a GLI to Asset trend ratio indicator.
ChronoPulse MS-MACD Resonance StrategyChronoPulse MS-MACD Resonance Strategy
A systematic trading strategy that combines higher-timeframe market structure analysis with dual MACD momentum confirmation, ATR-based risk management, and real-time quality assurance monitoring.
Core Principles
The strategy operates on the principle of multi-timeframe confluence, requiring agreement between:
Market structure breaks (CHOCH/BOS) on a higher timeframe
Dual MACD momentum confirmation (classic and crypto-tuned profiles)
Trend alignment via directional EMAs
Volatility and volume filters
Quality score composite threshold
Strategy Components
Market Structure Engine : Detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) events using confirmed pivots on a configurable higher timeframe. Default structure timeframe is 240 minutes (4H).
Dual MACD Fusion : Requires agreement between two MACD configurations:
Classic MACD: 12/26/9 (default)
Fusion MACD: 8/21/5 (default, optimized for crypto volatility)
Both must agree on direction before trade execution. This can be disabled to use single MACD confirmation.
Trend Alignment : Uses two EMAs for directional bias:
Directional EMA: 55 periods (default)
Execution Trend Guide: 34 periods (default)
Both must align with trade direction.
ATR Risk Management : All risk parameters are expressed in ATR multiples:
Stop Loss: 1.5 × ATR (default)
Take Profit: 3.0 × ATR (default)

Limitations and Considerations
The strategy requires sufficient historical data for higher timeframe structure analysis
Quality gate may filter out many potential trades, reducing trade frequency
Performance metrics are based on historical backtesting and do not guarantee future results
Commission and slippage assumptions (0.015% + 2 ticks) may vary by broker
The strategy is optimized for trending markets with clear structure breaks
Choppy or ranging markets may produce false signals
Crypto markets may require different parameter tuning than traditional assets
Optimization Notes
The strategy includes several parameters that can be tuned for different market conditions:
Quality Threshold : Lower values (0.50-0.60) allow more trades but may reduce average quality. Higher values (0.70+) are more selective but may miss opportunities.
Structure Timeframe : Use 240 (4H) for intraday trading, Daily for swing trading, Weekly for position trading
Volume Gate : Disable for low-liquidity pairs or when volume data is unreliable
Dual MACD Fusion : Disable for mean-reverting markets where single MACD may be more responsive
Trade Discipline : Adjust max trades and cooldown based on your risk tolerance and market volatility
Non-Repainting Guarantee
All higher timeframe data requests use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent repainting. Pivot detection waits for full confirmation before registering structure breaks. All visual elements (tables, labels) update only on closed bars.
Alerts
Three alert conditions are available:
ChronoPulse Long Setup : Fires when all long entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse Short Setup : Fires when all short entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse QA Certification : Fires when Quality Assurance console reaches CERTIFIED status
Configure alerts with "Once Per Bar Close" delivery to match the non-repainting design.
Visual Elements
Structure Labels : CHOCH↑, CHOCH↓, BOS↑, BOS↓ markers on structure breaks
Directional EMA : Orange line showing trend bias
Trailing Stop Lines : Green (long) and red (short) trailing stop levels
Dashboard Panel : Real-time status display (structure, MACD, ATR, quality, PnL)
QA Console : Quality assurance monitoring panel
Integrity Suite Panel : Optional validation status display
Recommended Usage
Forward test with paper trading before live deployment
Monitor the QA console until it reaches CERTIFIED status
Adjust parameters based on your specific market and timeframe
Respect the trade discipline limits to avoid over-trading
Review quality scores and adjust threshold if needed
Use appropriate commission and slippage settings for your broker
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with the following key features:
Multi-timeframe data requests with lookahead protection
Confirmed pivot detection for structure analysis
Dynamic trailing stop management
Real-time quality score calculation
Trade budgeting and cooldown enforcement
Comprehensive dashboard and monitoring panels
All source code is open and available for review and modification.

VOLX+ VWAP Range BandsVOLX+ plots multiple VWAP-weighted high/low channels across different lookback periods to show how price behaves relative to short-term and long-term value zones.
Instead of using a single VWAP line, this tool creates four rolling VWAP envelopes:
Short-term range (fast reaction)
Mid-term range
Mid-mid range (transitional layer)
Long-term range (macro context)
Each band is computed as:
VWAP-High = SMA(high × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
VWAP-Low = SMA(low × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
This produces dynamic price channels that account for both price and traded volume, offering a clearer sense of where the market is accepting or rejecting value.
What It Shows
Four VWAP-weighted high/low bands
A short-term VWAP midline
Price line
Three SMAs for trend context
Optional visibility switches for each VWAP band
The filled regions between VWAP highs and lows create a layered “value map,” helping you interpret:
Trend continuation (price hugging outer VWAP bands)
Mean reversion (price returning toward inner bands)
Volatility contraction/expansion
Shifts in short-term vs long-term balance
🧠 How to Use
Use the short-term band for day-trading context or detecting short-term excess.
Use mid-term and mid-mid bands to confirm developing structure.
Use the long-term VWAP band to understand broader value zones.
Combine VWAP bands with SMAs and structure analysis for confluence.
This indicator is intended for price interpretation and analytical support.
✔ Does Not Repaint
The script uses rolling VWAP formulas and standard MAs; everything is stable and non-repainting.
Bästa Bob Multi-RSI 😎👊✅ RSI 7 → Fast impulse indicator
• Shows micro-movements
• Reacts instantly to liquidity sweeps
• Perfect for entry timing
✅ RSI 14 → Macro momentum indicator
• Captures the real trend
• Filters out noise
• Confirms larger market movements
When both are in sync → you get true market direction plus perfect timing.
👉 How to Use RSI 7 + RSI 14
1️⃣ Entry Signals (the best method)
BUY when:
• RSI 7 turns up from oversold
• RSI 14 is also sloping upward or gets crossed by RSI 7 from below
→ Extremely accurate right after a liquidity sweep.
SELL when:
• RSI 7 turns down from overbought
• RSI 14 is sloping downward or gets crossed by RSI 7 from above
→ Works insanely well for fakeouts and FVG entries.
2️⃣ Trend Filter
• When RSI 14 stays above 50 → market is bullish
• When RSI 14 stays below 50 → bearish
RSI 7 is then used only for timing entries.
3️⃣ A++ Setups (your favorite ones 😉🔥)
The best signals appear when:
✔ RSI 7 crosses RSI 14 at the same time as:
• a liquidity sweep happens
• price taps into an FVG or Order Block
• volume reacts
• your trend filter (EMA, HTF) supports the move
This combo is criminally effective when scalping BTC, NAS100, and XAUUSD.
Box TheoryBox Theory – Description
This indicator is based on the popular “Box Theory” concept, where the previous session’s High–Low range acts as the most important structure for the next session.
Traders use this because the market often reacts to the same areas where liquidity, orders, and imbalances were created in the prior session.
At every new session open, the indicator automatically records:
Previous High
Previous Low
Middle (50% level)
These three levels form a box, which becomes your roadmap for the new session.
This method is widely used because it highlights where most reversals, sweeps, and reactions occur—without needing any extra indicators.
How the Zones Are Calculated
Previous High
The highest price of the last session.
This forms the top edge, which acts as resistance and the basis for the Sell Zone.
Previous Low
The lowest price of the last session.
This forms the bottom edge, acting as support and the basis for the Buy Zone.
Middle Line (50% Level)
The exact midpoint between High and Low.
This is the fair-value zone, where price often consolidates and becomes directionless.
No signals are triggered near the middle, because trades taken here historically have low accuracy.
Buy Zone (Green Area)
The lower part of the box.
Price often reacts here because this area held buyers in the previous session.
When price enters this green zone inside the box, the indicator can show a Buy Zone label.
Sell Zone (Red Area)
The upper part of the box.
Price commonly rejects here because this area acted as resistance previously.
When price enters this red zone inside the box, the indicator can show a Sell Zone label.
How Zone Size Is Set (Sensitivity %)
You can adjust how big the Buy/Sell zones are using the Sensitivity (%) input.
Lower % → Smaller zones → More precise signals
Higher % → Larger zones → Signals appear earlier and from farther away
Formula:
Zone Size = (Previous High − Previous Low) × (Sensitivity % ÷ 100)
This lets you customize how tight or how early your signals appear.
Inside-Box Only Logic
The indicator only works inside the previous session’s range.
If price breaks above the previous High → No sell signal
If price breaks below the previous Low → No buy signal
This avoids false signals during breakouts or trending markets.
Alerts
The indicator includes two alerts:
Buy Zone Alert → Triggers when price enters the Buy Zone
Sell Zone Alert → Triggers when price enters the Sell Zone
Just enable them in TradingView’s alert panel.
3 Lines RCI + Psy Signal + RSI Background📌 3 Lines RCI + Psy Signal + RSI Background
This indicator combines three RCI lines, Psychological Line signals, RSI-based background highlights, and ADX strength detection to visualize market momentum, trend strength, and potential reversal zones.
🔍 Main Features
📌 1. Triple RCI (Rank Correlation Index)
Displays Short / Mid / Long RCI
Detects momentum shifts and trend reversals
Highlight zones:
Overbought: +80 ~ +100 (Red Zone)
Oversold: -80 ~ -100 (Green Zone)
📌 2. Psychological Line Signal
Column bars appear only in extreme conditions:
Overbought → Red Bars
Oversold → Green Bars
Helps detect short-term sentiment extremes
📌 3. RSI Background Highlight
Red Background: RSI > Overbought threshold
Green Background: RSI < Oversold threshold
Provides a visual cue of underlying market pressure.
📌 4. ADX Trend Strength
ADX line color shows strength level:
Blue: Weak trend
Yellow: Moderate trend
Red: Strong trend
Useful to identify whether signals occur in a trend or range state.
🎯 Trading Usage Tips
RCI + RSI + Psy confluence can identify strong reversal timing.
Use signals only when ADX is weak or moderate to avoid counter-trading a strong trend.
Combine short/mid RCI crossovers with extreme zones for potential entry timing.
⚙️ Suitable For
Scalping, day trading, swing trading
Stocks, Forex, Crypto, Indices, Commodities
PRICE ACTION TRAKKERThis indicator isolates the core price-phase engine from the full Price Action Tracker (PAT) system.
It identifies and visualises structural phases of price, including:
Upper phase boundary (dynamic resistance)
Lower phase boundary (dynamic support)
Phase average (mean-reversion anchor)
Pivot markers (LPH, LPL, oLPH, oLPL)
The phase engine dynamically adapts to evolving market structure using pivot behaviour and structural breaks. This creates a real-time visual map of how price is organising itself — independent of time-based indicators and without the lag associated with classical moving averages.
This version focuses exclusively on price action structure, making it clean, fast, and ideal as a core tool on its own.
However, it is also designed as a foundation for more advanced analysis and will expand over time as additional modules are released.
This phase engine works exceptionally well in combination with my other indicators, such as moving-average structure tools, volume-weighted frameworks, and trend-strength models. Together, they provide a layered view of market behaviour:
phase structure → trend bias → volume confirmation → entry logic.
This makes the indicator valuable for:
Intra-day and swing traders
Wyckoff and liquidity-based traders
Mean-reversion and range-trading strategies
Understanding where accumulation/distribution behaviour is forming
Identifying when a phase is likely ending or breaking
Future updates will add modular expansion paths (trend scoring, VWAP phase weighting, multi-phase confluence, and signal logic), while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of this core engine.
Works Best With:
This indicator is part of a broader toolkit designed to analyse structure, trend, and behaviour.
When used alongside my other published tools — such as trend-strength MAs, VWMA frameworks, and higher-timeframe bias indicators — it provides a complete, multi-layered view of market conditions.
Momentum Candle by DNDFXMomentum Candle v2 is a simple yet powerful indicator designed to detect strong momentum candles based on candle body size and the ratio between the body and total wick.

MA Strategy: Dual Entry FilterConfigurable MA Dual-Filter Strategy
This strategy is an enhanced and highly configurable Moving Average (MA) Crossover system designed to mitigate false signals and align trades with the prevailing market trend. It is built to offer traders granular control over entry criteria, elevating it beyond basic, built-in MA crossover indicators.
Originality & Key Features
The script's originality and utility lie in the combination of its two primary, optional filtering mechanics:
Dual Entry Mode (Key Filter): Users can choose between two distinct methods for trade entry:
Crossover (Classic): Immediate entry when the price crosses the main MA.
Full Candle Confirmation (Unique Feature): This mode requires the entire candle body (open, high, low, and close) to be completely above or below the main MA after a crossover event to confirm the signal before entry. This strict confirmation helps to filter out weak crossovers, reducing whipsaws in choppy markets.
Optional Trend Filter: A second, slower MA (Trend Filter MA) can be activated. Trades are only permitted when the faster main MA is aligned with the slower Trend MA (i.e., long only if main MA > Trend MA), ensuring trades are executed with the established higher-timeframe direction.
How to Use the Strategy
The strategy logic is built on simple MA principles but utilizes Pine Script's switch function to allow users to select from six different MA types for both the main signal and the trend filter: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, and RMA.
Core Logic:
Signal: A cross of the price over the Main MA (filtered by the chosen Entry Mode).
Directional Filter: The Trend Filter must confirm the direction (if enabled).
Exit: Trades are exited on the opposite price crossover of the Main MA.
Customizable Settings Include:
Main MA Type & Length (Default: 40 EMA): The primary signal generator.
Trend Filter MA Type & Length (Default: 70 EMA): The optional, slower trend bias.
Entry Mode: Switch between Crossover or Full Candle Confirmation.
Strategy Results and High-Risk Disclaimer
The default setting for trade size is set to 40% of equity for backtesting demonstration purposes only. This high value is used to generate a large and diverse sample size of trades for historical review on the chart.
This 40% value is NOT a recommended setting for live trading. Per TradingView guidelines, traders are strongly advised to change this input to a sustainable risk level, typically 5% to 10% of equity per trade. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
ATR ZigZag BreakoutATR ZigZag Breakout
This strategy uses my ATR ZigZag indicator (powered by the ZigZagCore library) to scalp breakouts at volatility-filtered highs and lows.
Everyone knows stops cluster around clear swing highs and lows. Breakout traders often pile in there, too. These levels are predictable areas where aggressive orders hit the tape. The idea here is simple:
→ Let ATR ZigZag define clean, volatility-filtered pivots
→ Arm a stop market order at those pivots
→ Join the breakout when the crowd hits the level
The key to greater success in this simple strategy lies in the ZigZag. Because the pivots are filtered by ATR instead of fixed bar counts or fractals, the levels tend to be more meaningful and less noisy.
This approach is especially suited for intraday trading on volatile instruments (e.g., NQ, GC, liquid crypto pairs).
How It Works
1. Pivot detection
The ATR ZigZag uses an ATR-based threshold to confirm swing highs and lows. Only when price has moved far enough in the opposite direction does a pivot become “official.”
2. Candidate breakout level
When a new swing direction is detected and the most recent high/low has not yet been broken in the current leg, the strategy arms a stop market order at that pivot.
• Long candidate → most recent swing high
• Short candidate → most recent swing low
These “candidate trades” are shown as dotted lines.
3. Entry, SL, and TP
If price breaks through the level, the stop order is filled and a bracket is placed:
• Stop loss = ATR × SL multiplier
• Take profit = SL distance × RR multiplier
Once a level has traded, it is not reused in the same swing leg.
4. Cancel & rotate
If the market reverses and forms a new swing in the opposite direction before the level is hit, the pending order is cancelled and a new candidate is considered in the new direction.
Additional Features
• Optional session filter for backtesting specific trading hours
CRR Bill Williams These are SMMA based on the average price (high+low/2):
Jaw – Blue
Slow line, the base of the trend.
Teeth – Red
Medium speed.
Lips – Green/Lime
The fast one, the one that touches the price first.
Trend reading with the Alligator:
🟢 Uptrend (trendUpAlligator):
Lips (green) > Teeth (red) > Jaw (blue)
The alligator is awake and eating UP.
🔴 Downtrend (trendDownAlligator):
Lips (green) < Teeth (red) < Jaw (blue)
The alligator is eating DOWN.
⚪ Range / sleeping market (trendNeutral):
The lines cross, get tangled, without a clear order → better NOT to trade aggressively there.
In the HUD it shows it as:
UPTREND (green)
DOWNTREND (red)
RANGE (gray)
2️⃣ Fractals (▲ and ▼ arrows)
Fractal High (▲ green): possible local top (resistance).
Fractal Low (▼ red): possible local bottom (support).
They serve as:
Points where the price can break through to continue.
Areas where you can place stop losses or breakouts.
3️⃣ AO and AC (trend strength)
AO (Awesome Oscillator): difference of moving averages (5 and 34 of the average price).
AO > 0 → bullish pressure.
AO < 0 → bearish pressure.
AC (Accelerator): AO – average of AO.
AC > 0 → acceleration in favor of the movement.
AC < 0 → the movement slows down or goes against the trend.
In the HUD you see:
AO > 0 | AC > 0 → good tailwind.
AO < 0 | AC < 0 → strong headwind. 4️⃣ Bill Williams MFI (GREEN, FADE, FAKE, SQUAT)
This MFI is based on the candle range/volume and then compares it to the previous candle:
GREEN (Lime) → mfiUp + volUp
Price and volume rise together → real, strong momentum.
FADE (Gray) → mfiDown + volDown
Everything is dying down, price and volume fall → exhaustion.
FAKE (Orange) → mfiUp + volDown
Price rises but volume falls → deceptive movement.
SQUAT (Fuchsia) → mfiDown + volUp
Strong fight between buyers and sellers → explosive zone.
The color you see in the "MFI" HUD is:
Green → healthy momentum
Gray → fading out
Orange → deception
Fuchsia → strong fight, a big move may be coming
5️⃣ Candle Colors (barcolor)
Your script paints the candles like this:
💚 StrongBull (strong buying)
Bullish Alligator (Lips > Teeth > Jaw)
AO > 0
AC > 0
MFI = "GREEN"
→ Bright LIME candle:
👉 strong upward trend, ideal time to look for buying opportunities.
❤️ StrongBear (strong selling)
Bearish Alligator (Lips < Teeth < Jaw)
AO < 0
AC < 0
MFI = "GREEN"
→ Strong RED candle:
👉 strong downward trend, ideal for looking for selling opportunities.
🩵 Normal bullish trend:
Bullish Alligator but without all the strength conditions → TEAL (bluish-green) candle.
🟥 Normal bearish trend:
Bearish Alligator but without full strength → MAROON candle.
⚪ Sideways market:
Everything mixed → translucent GRAY candle (color.gray 60).
👉 Not the best time to enter aggressively. 6️⃣ BUY / SELL Signals (triangles)
✔️ BUY Condition (longSignalCond)
The code requires:
Bullish Alligator → Lips > Teeth > Jaw
AO > 0
AC > 0
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT
close > Lips (green lips) → the price is already above the fast moving average.
When fulfilled:
A green “BUY” triangle appears below the candle.
In the HUD:
Trend: BULLISH (green)
AO / AC: > 0
MFI: GREEN or SQUAT
BW Setup: “SIGNAL: BUY”
Context: “Buying Pressure”
👉 Idea for making money (buys):
Wait for the Alligator to be in a bullish order.
Check that the HUD says BULLISH and AO/AC > 0.
Check MFI: GREEN or SQUAT.
As soon as the BUY triangle appears and the candle is lime/teal, you can:
Enter a buy position.
Place the stop loss below the last fractal low (▼).
Close partially when:
MFI changes to FADE/FAKE or
The candles change to gray/maroon or
The Alligator becomes entangled (loses its order).
❌ SELL Condition (shortSignalCond)
The code requires:
Bearish Alligator → Lips < Teeth < Jaw
AO < 0
AC < 0
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT (strength but downwards)
close < Lips → price below the lips.
When fulfilled:
A red “SELL” triangle appears above the candle.
In the HUD:
Trend: BEARISH
AO / AC: < 0
MFI: GREEN / SQUAT
BW Setup: “SIGNAL: SELL”
Context: “Selling Pressure”
👉 Idea for making money (sells):
Wait for the Alligator to be in a bearish order.
HUD in BEARISH, AO/AC < 0.
MFI in GREEN or SQUAT.
When the SELL triangle appears with a red/maroon candle:
Enter a sell position. Stop above the last fractal high (▲).
Partial exit when:
MFI changes to FADE/FAKE,
The candles turn gray/teal,
Or the Alligator becomes tangled.
7️⃣ When NOT to trade
Avoid:
HUD → “RANGE”
Mostly gray candles.
AO and AC mixed (one >0 and the other <0).
MFI constantly in FAKE/FADE.
In these situations, the system tells you: slow or deceptive market → not suitable for serious trades.
8️⃣ Ultra-short summary (golden rule)
BUY:
Alligator ordered UP (green > red > blue).
AO > 0 and AC > 0.
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT.
Strong green candle (lime/teal) + BUY triangle.
Even better if it breaks a previous fractal low upwards.
SELL:
Alligator ordered DOWN (green < red < blue).
AO < 0 and AC < 0.
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT.
Red/maroon candle + SELL triangle.
Even better if it breaks a fractal high downwards.
Enhanced ONH / ONL Auto Levels (Fixed Alerts)This script automatically identifies and plots the Overnight High (ONH) and Overnight Low (ONL)—two of the most important liquidity levels for intraday futures and index traders.
The indicator scans the entire overnight session (default: 18:00–09:30 EST for ES) and records the highest wick and lowest wick formed during Globex. These levels are then projected into the regular trading session, giving traders clear reference points for potential reversals, breakouts, liquidity grabs, and high-probability retest setups.
ONH/ONL levels act as magnet zones, liquidity pockets, and institutional decision points—commonly targeted during the opening drive and London/New York overlap. Whether price sweeps, reclaims, or breaks these levels, the reaction often creates reliable trade opportunities for scalpers and day traders.
