Path of Least ResistancePath of Least Resistance (PLR)
Concept Overview
The Path of Least Resistance indicator identifies key zones on your chart that act like "muddy" or "sticky" areas where price tends to get bogged down, creating choppy and unpredictable price action. Between these zones lie the "empty spaces" - clear paths where price can move freely with momentum and direction.
The Analogy: Muddy Fields vs Open Roads
Think of your chart like a landscape:
🟫 ZONES (Muddy/Sticky Areas)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from higher timeframes
Pivot wick zones from higher timeframe pivots
Areas where price gets "stuck" and churns
Like walking through thick mud - slow, choppy, unpredictable movement
Price action becomes erratic and difficult to trade
🟢 EMPTY SPACES (Open Roads)
The clear areas between zones
Where price can move freely with momentum
Like driving on an open highway - smooth, directional movement
The "Path of Least Resistance" for price movement
Trading Philosophy
AVOID Trading Within Zones:
Price action is typically choppy and unpredictable
Higher probability of false signals and whipsaws
Like trying to drive through mud - you'll get stuck
TRADE Through the Empty Spaces:
Look for moves that travel between zones
Price tends to move with momentum and direction
Higher probability setups with cleaner price action
Like taking the highway instead of back roads
Zone Types Detected
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Imbalances from higher timeframe candles
Areas where price "owes" a return visit
Often act as magnets, creating choppy price action
Pivot Wick Zones
Upper and lower wicks from higher timeframe pivots
Rejection areas where price previously struggled
Often create resistance/support that leads to choppy movement
Color Coding System
The zones dynamically change color based on current price position:
🔴 RED ZONES : Price is below the zone (bearish context)
🟢 GREEN ZONES : Price is above the zone (bullish context)
🔘 GRAY ZONES : Price is within the zone (neutral/choppy area)
The "Mum Trades" Strategy
The best trades - what we call "Mum trades" (trades so obvious even your mum could spot them) - happen in the empty spaces between zones:
✅ High Probability Characteristics:
Clear directional movement between zones
Less noise and false signals
Higher momentum and follow-through
Cleaner technical patterns
❌ Avoid These Areas:
Trading within the muddy zones
Expecting clean moves through sticky areas
Fighting against the natural flow of price
Key Features
Auto Timeframe Detection : Automatically selects appropriate higher timeframe
Dynamic Zone Management : Overlapping zones are automatically cleaned up
Real-time Alerts : Get notified when price enters/exits zones
Visual Clarity : Clean zone display with extending boundaries
How to Use
Identify the Zones : Let the indicator mark the muddy areas
Find the Paths : Look for clear spaces between zones
Plan Your Trades : Target moves that travel through empty space
Avoid the Mud : Stay away from trading within the zones
Follow the Flow : Trade with the path of least resistance
Remember
Price, like water, always seeks the path of least resistance. By identifying where that path is clear (empty spaces) versus where it's obstructed (zones), you can align your trading with the natural flow of the market rather than fighting against it.
The goal is simple: Trade the highways, avoid the mud.
Candlestick analysis
Boring Candles by The School of Dalal StreetThis indicator highlights the "boring" candles. These are candles where the body is less than 50% in length as compared to the high and low length. This allows us to quickly find the lower timeframe demand/supply without switching the chart timeframe. The use case is to quickly find our targets based on lower time frames.
SOT & SA Detector ProSOT & SA Detector Pro- Advanced Reversal Pattern Recognition
OVERVIEW
The SOT & SA Detector is an educational indicator designed to identify potential market reversal points through systematic analysis of candlestick patterns, volume confirmation, and price wave structures. SOT (Shorting of Thrust) signals suggest potential bearish reversals after upward price movements, while SA (Selling Accumulation) signals indicate possible bullish reversals following downward trends. This tool helps traders recognize key market transition points by combining multiple technical criteria for enhanced signal reliability.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
Technical Methodology
The indicator employs a multi-factor analysis approach that evaluates:
Wave Structure Analysis: Identifies minimum 2-bar directional waves (upward for SOT, downward for SA)
Price Delta Validation: Ensures closing price changes remain within specified percentage thresholds (default 0.3%) best 0.1.
Candlestick Tail Analysis: Measures rejection wicks using configurable tail multipliers
Volume Confirmation: Requires increased volume compared to previous periods
Pattern Confirmation: Validates signals through subsequent price action
Signal Generation Process
Pattern Recognition: Scans for qualifying candlestick formations with appropriate tail characteristics
Volume Verification: Confirms patterns with volume expansion using adjustable multiplier
Price Confirmation: Validates signals when price breaks and closes beyond pattern extremes
Signal Display: Places labeled markers and draws horizontal reference levels
Mathematical Foundation
Delta calculation: math.abs(close - close ) / close <= deltaPercent / 100
Tail analysis: (high - close ) >= tailMultiplier * (close - low ) for SOT
Volume filter: volume >= volume * volumeFactor
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
Dual Pattern Recognition: Identifies both bullish (SA) and bearish (SOT) reversal candidates
Volume Integration: Incorporates volume analysis for enhanced signal validation
Customizable Parameters: Adjustable wave length, delta percentage, tail multiplier, and volume factor
Visual Clarity: Color-coded bar highlighting, labeled signals, and horizontal reference levels
Time-Based Filtering: Configurable analysis period to focus on recent market activity
Non-Repainting Signals: Confirmed signals remain stable and do not change with new price data
Alert System: Built-in notifications for both initial signals and subsequent confirmations
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE
Signal Interpretation
Red SOT Labels: Appear above potential bearish reversal candles with downward-pointing markers
Green SA Labels: Display below potential bullish reversal candles with upward-pointing markers
Horizontal Lines: Extend from signal levels to provide ongoing reference points
Bar Coloring: Highlights qualifying pattern candles for visual emphasis
Trading Application
This indicator serves as an educational tool for pattern recognition and should be used in conjunction with additional analysis methods. Consider SOT signals as potential areas of selling pressure following upward moves, while SA signals may indicate buying interest after downward price action.
Best Practices
Combine with trend analysis and support/resistance levels
Consider overall market context and timeframe alignment
Use proper risk management techniques
Validate signals with additional technical indicators
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SETTINGS
Analysis Days (Default: 20)
Controls the lookback period for signal detection. Higher values extend historical analysis while lower values focus on recent activity.
Minimum Bars in Wave (Default: 2)
Sets the minimum consecutive bars required to establish directional wave patterns. Increase for stronger trend confirmation.
Max Close Change % (Default: 0.3) best 0.1.
Defines acceptable closing price variation between consecutive bars. Lower values require tighter price consolidation.
Tail Multiplier (Default: 1.0) best 1.5 or more.
Adjusts sensitivity for candlestick tail analysis. Higher values require more pronounced rejection wicks.
Volume Factor (Default: 1.0)
Sets volume expansion threshold compared to previous period. Values above 1.0 require volume increases.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
LIMITATIONS
Market Conditions
May produce false signals in highly volatile or low-volume conditions

Signal Timing
Signals appear after pattern completion, not in real-time during formation
Confirmation signals depend on subsequent price action
Historical signals do not guarantee future market behavior
Technical Constraints
Limited to analyzing price and volume data only
Does not incorporate fundamental analysis or external market factors
Performance may vary significantly across different trading instruments
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
This indicator is designed for educational purposes and technical analysis learning. It does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss, and this tool should be used alongside proper risk management techniques and additional analysis methods.
Always conduct thorough analysis using multiple indicators and consider market context before making trading decisions. The SOT & SA patterns represent potential reversal points but do not guarantee price direction changes.

ATR % Line from Day LowHow can you make sure that you're not buying a stock that is too extended?
By limiting your buys to within a certain percentage of either the low-of-the-day (LoD) if you're going long, or to the high-of-the-day (HoD) if you're shorting a stock. This script will help you do just that.
Limiting stock purchases to within a certain percentage of the Average True Range (ATR) from the day's low or high is a risk management technique that offers several key benefits:
Risk Control and Position Sizing
By using ATR as a boundary, you're essentially creating a volatility-adjusted buffer. Since ATR measures recent price volatility, this approach prevents you from buying into stocks that have already moved significantly beyond their normal trading range. This helps avoid entering positions when the stock might be overextended and due for a pullback.
Improved Entry Timing
This strategy encourages patience and discipline. Rather than chasing a stock that's already run up substantially from its low, you wait for better entry points. For example, if you set a limit of 50% of ATR from the day's low, you're only buying when the stock hasn't moved more than half its typical daily range from the bottom.
Volatility Awareness
ATR naturally adjusts for each stock's individual volatility characteristics. A high-volatility stock might have an ATR of $2, while a low-volatility stock might have an ATR of $0.50. This approach scales your entry criteria appropriately for each security rather than using arbitrary dollar amounts.
Reduced Emotional Trading
Having a systematic rule removes the temptation to chase momentum or buy at poor technical levels. It forces you to wait for the stock to come back to more reasonable levels relative to its recent trading behavior.
Better Risk-Reward Ratios
By entering closer to the day's low (within your ATR percentage), you're typically getting a better risk-reward setup. Your stop loss (often placed below the day's low) will be tighter, while your potential upside remains intact.
This approach works particularly well for swing traders and those looking to enter positions on pullbacks or during consolidation periods rather than breakout scenarios.
To save valuable real estate on your chart, there's also an option that can give you a compact version of this indicator which will show only the "Current Day's Low/High" and "Target Price". "Target Price" being the price at which your max buy limit is based on the % ATR you choose in settings.
LTHB & HTLB Zones with AlertsIn price action trading, the Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB) and the Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB) are important concepts for support/resistance identification, trend exhaustion, and reversal confirmation. Here's what they mean and why they matter:
🔹 Definitions
1. Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB):
The lowest price (tick) of the bar (candlestick) with the highest high in a recent price swing.
Significance: It marks the support inside an upward swing. If price breaks below this, it often indicates loss of upward momentum or reversal.
2. Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB):
The highest price of the bar with the lowest low in a swing.
Significance: It acts as a resistance inside a downward swing. If price moves above this, it can signal a bullish reversal.
🔸 Why Are They Significant?
Concept LTHB HTLB
Trend Reversal - Break below LTHB → possible bearish reversal Break above HTLB → possible bullish reversal
Swing Confirmation -Holding above LTHB → continuation of uptrend Holding below HTLB → continuation of downtrend
Trap Detection - Stop hunts often occur just below LTHB Stop hunts often occur just above HTLB
Risk Management -Acts as logical stop-loss in long trades Acts as logical stop-loss in short trades
🔸 Uses in Strategy
1. Breakout Traders use these levels as entry triggers.
2. Reversal Traders look for price failing to hold these levels for early reversal signs.
3. Structure-Based Traders use them to confirm higher highs/lower lows.
4. Stop Placement: Tight stops just beyond LTHB/HTLB help manage risk in swing trades.
🔔 How to Set Alerts in TradingView:
Add the script to your chart.
Open the "⚠️ Alerts" tab.
Click "Create Alert".
In the "Condition" dropdown, select one of:
Enter LTHB Zone
Exit LTHB Zone
Enter HTLB Zone
Exit HTLB Zone
Set desired alert frequency (e.g., once per bar or once).
Click Create.

The Faster Heikin Ashi improves traditional Heikin Ashi candles by introducing advanced weighting mechanisms and lag reduction techniques. While maintaining the price smoothing benefits of standard Heikin Ashi, this enhanced version delivers faster signals and responsiveness.
Key Features
Unified Responsiveness Control
Single parameter (0.1 - 1.0) controls all responsiveness aspects
Eliminates conflicting settings found in other enhanced HA indicators
Intuitive scaling from conservative (0.1) to highly responsive (1.0)
Advanced Weighted Calculations
Smart Close Weighting: Close prices receive 2-3x more influence for faster trend detection
Dynamic OHLC Processing: All price components are intelligently weighted based on responsiveness setting
Balanced High/Low Emphasis: Maintains price level accuracy while improving speed
Enhanced Open Calculation
Transition Speed: Open prices "catch up" to market movements faster

Smooth Integration: Maintains visual continuity while improving responsiveness
Four-Color Scheme
- 🟢 **Lime**: Strong bullish momentum
- 🔴 **Red**: Strong bearish momentum
- 🟢 **Green**: Moderate bullish
- 🔴 **Maroon**: Moderate bearish
How It Works
Traditional Heikin Ashi smooths price action but often lags behind real market movements. This enhanced version:
1. Weights price components based on their predictive value
2. Accelerates trend transitions through advanced open calculations
3. Scales all enhancements through a single responsiveness parameter
4. Maintains smoothing benefits while reducing lag
Responsiveness (0.1 - 1.0)
0.1 - 0.3: Conservative, maximum smoothing
0.4 - 0.6: Balanced, good for swing trading and trend following
0.7 - 1.0: Aggressive, fast signals, suitable for scalping and active trading
Doji Signals with Wick ColorThis indicator identifies Doji candlestick patterns on the chart and highlights both the candle body and wicks in yellow for better visibility.
A Doji is defined as a candle where the body size is relatively small compared to the full range (high - low), indicating market indecision. You can adjust the maximum allowed body size as a percentage of the total candle range using the "Doji's Max Body Size" input.
The indicator works by:
Calculating the body size (abs(open - close))
Comparing it to a threshold (precision * (high - low))
Highlighting candles that meet the condition as Doji, coloring both the body and wick in yellow
This visual aid helps traders quickly spot potential reversal or pause areas in price action based on candlestick psychology.
Squeeze Pro Momentum BAR color - KLTDescription:
The Squeeze Pro Momentum indicator is a powerful tool designed to detect volatility compression ("squeeze" zones) and visualize momentum shifts using a refined color-based system. This script blends the well-known concepts of Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels with an optimized momentum engine that uses dynamic color gradients to reflect trend strength, direction, and volatility.
It’s built for traders who want early warning of potential breakouts and clearer insight into underlying market momentum.
🔍 How It Works:
📉 Squeeze Detection:
This indicator identifies "squeeze" conditions by comparing Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels:
When Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels → Squeeze is ON
When Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels → Squeeze is OFF
You’ll see squeeze zones classified as:
Wide
Normal
Narrow
Each represents varying levels of compression and breakout potential.
⚡ Momentum Engine:
Momentum is calculated using linear regression of the price's deviation from a dynamic average of highs, lows, and closes. This gives a more accurate representation of directional pressure in the market.
🧠 Smart Candle Coloring (Optimized):
The momentum color logic is inspired by machine learning principles (no hardcoded thresholds):
EMA smoothing and rate of change (ROC) are used to detect momentum acceleration.
ATR-based filters help remove noise and false signals.
Colors are dynamically assigned based on both direction and trend strength.
🧪 How to Use It:
Look for Squeeze Conditions — especially narrow squeezes, which tend to precede high-momentum breakouts.
Confirm with Momentum Color — strong colors often indicate trend continuation; fading colors may signal exhaustion.
Combine with Price Action — use this tool with support/resistance or patterns for higher probability setups.
Recommended For:
Trend Traders
Breakout Traders
Volatility Strategy Users
Anyone who wants visual clarity on trend strength
📌 Tip: This indicator works great when layered with volume and price action patterns. It is fully non-repainting and supports overlay on price charts.
Disguised Candles by The School of Dalal StreetDisguised Candles corrects one of the subtle visual distortions present in normal candlestick charts — the mismatch between the close of one candle and the open of the next.
On many instruments (especially at day/session breaks), the next candle’s open often jumps due to price gaps or data feed behavior. This can make reading the flow of price action harder than necessary.
Disguised Candles fixes this by plotting synthetic candles where the open of each candle is forced to match the close of the previous one — creating a visually continuous flow of price.
Real candles are made fully transparent, so only the "corrected" candles are visible.
This allows traders to:
Visualize price flow as a smooth path
Better spot true directional shifts and trends
Avoid distractions caused by technical gaps that are not meaningful to their strategy
🚀 Pure visual clarity. No noise from false opens.
How it works:
The open of each synthetic candle = close of previous real candle
High, Low, Close remain unchanged
Colors are based on Close vs Corrected Open
Real chart candles are hidden under a transparent overlay
Use this as a clean canvas for trend analysis or as a foundation for building new visual systems.
Market Balance LevelMarket Balance Level (MBL)
This indicator dynamically identifies price consolidation zones (market balance levels) and plots a horizontal line at the average midpoint of the range once a valid breakout occurs. It helps traders visualize key zones where the market was previously in equilibrium and is likely to retest before continuing its trend.
How It Works:
Detects consolidation ranges using consecutive candles within a tight high-low structure.
When a breakout occurs (above or below the range), it plots a line at the average midpoint of the consolidation.
Triangles are drawn on breakouts to visually confirm the breakout direction.
Lines can be customized by color, width, and breakout direction (bullish, bearish, or both).
Recommended Use:
Wait for price to return to the Market Balance Level (MBL). These levels often act as strong support or resistance.
Enter upon engulfment (candle closes strongly in the direction of the breakout), confirming continuation.
Features:
Adjustable consolidation sensitivity and line length.
Option to show/hide bullish or bearish MBLs.
Visual breakout markers (triangles) with alert support.
Optional alert messages for breakout events.
Use this tool to enhance your structure-based or SMC-style trading strategies.

EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI/SMA RSI
Strategy Description: EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI/SMA RSI
1. Trend Identification with EMA:
Uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): a fast EMA (default 50) and a slow EMA (default 200).
When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA (bullish crossover), an uptrend is identified.
When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA (bearish crossover), a downtrend is identified.
The lengths of both EMAs are fully customizable.
2. EMA Distance Condition:
Signals are only valid when the absolute percentage distance between the two EMAs is within a user-defined range (default: 0.4% to 1%).
This helps filter out weak signals when the EMAs are too close or too far apart.
3. Pullback Condition:
After a new trend is detected (EMA crossover), the strategy waits for the price to pull back to touch or cross the fast EMA (EMA 50).
This ensures entries are not taken immediately at the crossover, but after a retracement to a dynamic support/resistance area.
4. RSI Confirmation:
Uses the RSI indicator (default 14) and its Simple Moving Average (SMA RSI, default 14).
Buy signal: RSI crosses above its SMA.
Sell signal: RSI crosses below its SMA.
Both RSI and SMA RSI lengths are fully customizable.
5. Entry Rules:
The indicator only gives the first buy/sell signal after each EMA crossover (start of a new trend), and will not repeat signals until the next EMA crossover.
Buy signal:
Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA
EMA distance is within the valid range
Price pulls back to the fast EMA
RSI crosses above its SMA
Sell signal:
Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA
EMA distance is within the valid range
Price pulls back to the fast EMA
RSI crosses below its SMA
6. Customization:
All parameters (EMA lengths, RSI length, SMA RSI length, EMA distance range) can be adjusted in the indicator’s settings.
Note:
This is a signal indicator, not a complete trading strategy. For real trading, always combine with risk management and additional confirmations.
Third Candle MarkerTitel: Third Candle Marker – Highlights Trend Continuation
Beschreibung:
This script highlights potential trend continuation setups by marking the third candle after two consecutive candles of the same direction.
If the previous two candles were bullish (green), the third candle is colored green.
If the previous two candles were bearish (red), the third candle is colored red.
A white color indicates that no clear trend was detected in the previous two candles.
Additionally, the script plots small triangle markers:
Green upward triangle below the bar if the last two candles were bullish.
Red downward triangle above the bar if the last two candles were bearish.
Use this tool to visually identify potential continuation signals in trending markets. Suitable for all timeframes.
Note: This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant to assist in visual trend recognition.
Worldwide Sessions and Open Range BreakoutThis script shows when the various normal market hours for each of the major worldwide markets (Asia, New York, and London). It also draws a line on the opening range for each of these market sessions. The opening range defaults to the first 15 minutes of the session, but this can be customized.
This script does automatically handle the session times regardless of your time zone or what time frame you are on. No need to set anything! This probably can't handle non-normal trading days, such as partial days.
This script is made for futures, but would likely work for other markets, like Forex.
LRHA Trend Shift DetectorLRHA Trend Shift Detector (TSD)
The LRHA Trend Shift Detector is an advanced momentum exhaustion indicator that identifies potential trend reversals and changes by analyzing Linear Regression Heikin Ashi (LRHA) candle patterns. TSD focuses on detecting when strong directional moves begin to lose momentum.
🔬 Methodology
The indicator employs a three-stage detection process:
LRHA Calculation: Applies linear regression smoothing to Heikin Ashi candles, creating ultra-smooth trend-following candles that filter out market noise
Extended Move Detection: Identifies sustained directional moves by counting consecutive bullish or bearish LRHA candles
Momentum Exhaustion Analysis: Monitors for significant changes in candle size compared to recent averages
When an extended move shows clear signs of momentum exhaustion, the indicator signals a potential trend shift with red dots plotted above or below your candlesticks.
⚙️ Parameters
Core Settings
LRHA Length (11): Linear regression period for smoothing calculations. Lower values = more responsive, higher values = smoother trends.
Minimum Trend Bars (4): Consecutive candles required to establish an "extended move." Higher number detects longer term trend changes.
Exhaustion Bars (3): Number of consecutively smaller candles needed to signal exhaustion. Lower is more sensitive.
Size Reduction Threshold (40%): Percentage decrease in candle size to qualify as "exhaustion." Lower is more sensitive.
Trend Trading
Pullback Entries: Identify exhaustion in counter-trend moves for trend continuation
Exit Strategy: Recognize when main trend momentum is fading
Position Sizing: Reduce size when seeing exhaustion in your direction
🎛️ Optimization Tips
For More Signals (Aggressive)
- Decrease LRHA Length (7-9)
- Reduce Minimum Trend Bars (2-3)
- Lower Size Reduction Threshold (25-35%)
For Higher Quality (Conservative)
- Increase LRHA Length (13-18)
- Raise Minimum Trend Bars (5-6)
- Higher Size Reduction Threshold (45-55%)
⚠️ Important Notes⚠️
- **Not a Complete Strategy**: Use as confluence with other analysis methods
- **Market Context Matters**: Consider overall trend direction and key support/resistance levels
- **Risk Management Essential**: Always use proper position sizing and stop losses
- **Backtest First**: Optimize parameters for your specific trading style and instruments
Candle Price % ChangeIf you are using candle bottoms/tops for your stop-loss, this indicator allows you to see the price percentage difference between the current price and the high or low of a candle. This eliminates the need to manually measure the candle every time you need to determine your stop-loss %. It's particularly useful when scalping on small time frames like the 1m.
1 Candle SMT Divergence (Nephew_Sam_)📊 1 Candle SMT Divergence Detector
3-Way Smart Money Theory (SMT) Divergence Scanner for Multi-Symbol Analysis
This indicator identifies 1-candle SMT divergences by comparing one primary symbol against up to 2 correlation symbols across multiple timeframes simultaneously. Perfect for detecting institutional smart money moves and market inefficiencies.
🎯 Key Features:
3-Way Comparison: Compare 1 "From" symbol vs 2 "To" symbols (configurable)
5 Symbol Pairs: Pre-configure up to 5 different symbol combinations
Multi-Timeframe: Scan 5 timeframes simultaneously (Chart, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly)
Smart Filtering: Only displays timeframes equal to or higher than your chart
Real-Time Detection: Compares current vs previous candle highs/lows
Visual Alerts: Clean table display with color-coded divergence status
Line Drawing: Optional trend lines connecting divergence points
Replay Compatible: Works with TradingView's replay mode
📈 How It Works:
Detects when one symbol makes a higher high while correlated symbols make lower highs (and vice versa for lows). This creates SMT divergence signals that often precede significant market moves.
Multi Asset Comparative📊 Multi Asset Comparative – Compare Baskets of Cryptos Visually
This indicator allows you to compare the performance of two groups of cryptocurrencies (or any assets) over time, using a clean and intuitive chart.
Instead of looking at each asset separately, this tool gives you a global view by showing how one group performs relative to another — all displayed in the form of candlesticks.
🧠 What This Tool Is For
Markets constantly shift, and capital rotates between sectors or tokens. This script helps you visually track those shifts by answering a key question:
"Is this group of assets getting stronger or weaker compared to another group?"
For example:
Compare altcoins vs Bitcoin
Track the DeFi sector vs Ethereum
Analyze your custom portfolio vs the market
Spot moments when money flows from majors to smaller caps, or vice versa
🧩 How It Works (Simplified)
You select two groups of assets:
Group 1 (up to 20 assets) — the one you want to analyze
Group 2 (up to 5 assets) — your comparison baseline
The indicator then creates a single line of candles that represents the performance of Group 1 compared to Group 2. If the candles go up, it means Group 1 is gaining strength over Group 2. If the candles go down, it's losing ground.
This lets you see market dynamics in one glance, instead of switching charts or running calculations manually.
🚀 Why It's Unique
Unlike many indicators that just show data from one asset, this one provides a bird's-eye view of multiple assets at once — condensed into a simple visual ratio.
It’s:

Multi-Timeline 1.0Multi-TimeLines 1.0 - Comprehensive Description
WHAT IT DOES:
This indicator creates dynamic horizontal support/resistance lines based on opening prices captured at user-defined New York times. Unlike static horizontal lines, these levels automatically appear and disappear based on sophisticated session logic, providing traders with time-sensitive reference levels that adapt to market sessions.
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
1.
Timezone Conversion Engine:
The script uses Pine Script's "America/New_York" timezone functions to ensure all time calculations are based on NY time, regardless of the user's chart timezone. This eliminates confusion and provides consistent behavior across global markets.
2.
Dual-Category Time Classification System:
The indicator employs a unique two-category classification system:
Category A (16:00-23:59 NY): Evening times that extend overnight until next day 15:59 NY
Category B (00:00-15:59 NY): Day times that extend until same day 15:59 NY
This classification handles the complex logic of overnight sessions and prevents lines from incorrectly resetting at midnight for evening times.
3. Price Capture Mechanism:
Uses precise time-hit detection with backup systems for edge cases (especially midnight 00:00). When a specified time occurs, the script captures the bar's opening price and stores it in persistent variables using Pine Script's var declarations.
4. Session-Aware Display Logic:
Lines only appear during their designated "display windows" - periods when the captured price level is relevant. The script uses conditional plotting with plot.style_linebr to create clean breaks when lines are inactive.
5. Smart Reset System:
Different reset behaviors based on time classification:
Category A times persist across midnight (for overnight analysis)
Category B times reset on day changes (except 00:00 which captures AT day change)
Automatic cleanup when display windows close
ORIGINALITY & UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. Overnight Session Handling:
Unlike basic horizontal line tools, this script properly handles overnight spans for evening times, making it invaluable for analyzing gaps and overnight price action.
2. Automatic Session Management:
No manual line drawing required - the script automatically manages when lines appear/disappear based on NY market sessions (15:59 close, 18:00 after-hours start).
3. Time-Window Display Logic:
Lines only show during relevant periods, reducing chart clutter and focusing attention on currently active levels.
TRADING CONCEPTS & APPLICATIONS:
1. Session-Based Analysis:
Capture opening prices at key session times:
00:00 NY: Sydney/Asian session start
03:00 NY: London pre-market
08:00 NY: London session open
09:30 NY: NYSE opening bell
18:00 NY: After-hours start
2. Gap Analysis:
Evening times (20:00-23:59) that extend overnight are particularly useful for:
Identifying potential gap-fill levels
Tracking overnight high/low breaks
Setting reference points for next-day trading
3. Support/Resistance Framework:
Opening prices at significant times often act as:
Intraday support/resistance levels
Reference points for breakout/breakdown analysis
Pivot levels for mean reversion strategies
HOW TO USE:
1. Time Input:
Enter times in "HH:MM" format using 24-hour NY time:
"09:30" for NYSE open
"15:30" for late-day reference
"20:00" for evening level (extends overnight)
2. Line Behavior:
Blue/Green/Cyan/Red lines: Your custom times
Yellow line: After-hours day open (18:00 NY start)
Lines appear with breaks during inactive periods
3. Strategic Setup:
Use 2-3 key session times for your trading style
Combine morning times (immediate reference) with evening times (overnight analysis)
Toggle after-hours line based on your market focus
CALCULATION METHOD:
The script uses direct opening price capture (no smoothing or averaging) at precise time hits, ensuring the most accurate representation of actual market levels at specified times. This raw price approach maintains the integrity of actual market opening prices rather than manipulated or calculated values.
This method is particularly effective because opening prices at significant times often represent institutional order flow and can act as magnetic levels throughout subsequent sessions.
Multi-Timeframe Price Action AnalysisMulti-Timeframe Price Action Analysis
This indicator analyzes price action across multiple timeframes to determine bullish and bearish signals. It creates a dashboard showing how price interacts with previous candles' highs and lows.
Features
- Analyzes 4 customizable timeframes simultaneously
- Detects when price:
-- Grabs lows and comes back inside (bullish)
-- Grabs highs and comes back inside (bearish)
-- Grabs both highs and lows
-- Moves above previous high
-- Moves below previous low
-- Calculates bullish/bearish percentages for each timeframe
-- Visual dashboard with color-coded signals
Adjustable confirmation settings
-- Settings
-- Customize timeframes (default: 15min, 1H, 4H, D)
-- Toggle confirmation waiting
-- Set number of confirmation candles
This is a very rudimentary version.. I will make a more robust version soon
For it to be considered a "grab" the current price must be within the previous candle's range..
This also does not focus on candle closures just highs and lows
Also note that this is a little aggressive in that it does not require a bullish close for example to be considered bullish, a bearish close inside the previous candle is considered valid, this is to handle the morning stars that have a slightly bearish close in middle candle etc.. obviously do not rely on this indicator.. look at the price action and determine if you think its worth taking..
Same goes for bullish closes inside previous candle after grabbing highs..
