OTP - 1HR ZONES v3

My understanding of the changes you want (without breaking what’s already working)

You’re saying the current “BASE” logic is correctly finding your winning-trade zones, so we must not change the core displacement definition (body vs avg * multiplier + prior candle wick-to-wick). The tweaks you want are:

Stop the “candle after” problem

When a displacement candle prints, the zone must be drawn on the PRIOR candle (the origin candle), not shifted onto the next candle/bar.

Practically: the box needs to be anchored to the prior 1H candle’s time window, not the current bar_index.

Reduce “too many zones” without changing the core detection

You want fewer boxes, but without tightening the displacement logic (since it’s already catching winners).

Best non-disruptive filter: only create zones once per 1H candle close (prevents duplicates/spam on 5m/15m charts), and optionally filter by a session window (like your trading hours).

Make it work cleanly on 5m/15m

Right now on lower timeframes it can “spam” because the HTF values repeat on each LTF candle.

Fix: only fire on the moment the 1H candle closes, and draw the zone using bar_time of the prior 1H candle, so it’s always placed correctly.

That’s what the script below does.

READ BELOW:
What you should set first (so you don’t disrupt winners)

Leave displacementMult = 1.5 and Avg Body Length = 20 as-is.

Turn Filter zones by session? ON only if you want to cut noise fast.

If your true window is 9–11am, set Session to 0900-1100.

If it’s 6–10, leave 0600-1000.
