BORSA 321 - HTF Volume Delta Highlighter Overview
HTF Volume Delta Highlighter is a multi-timeframe tool that builds a compact higher-timeframe (HTF) candle panel on the right side of your chart and injects volume delta, fair value gaps (FVG) and volume imbalance (VI) directly into those candles.
Instead of constantly switching charts, you see:
Where buy vs sell volume is dominating on HTF
Which HTF candles left inefficiencies (FVG / VI)
Key open / high / low / close levels projected back onto your current timeframe
How much time is left for each HTF candle to close
All of this lives visually on your current chart, making it perfect for scalpers and intraday traders who rely on higher-timeframe context.
What It Shows
For up to six higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W), the indicator plots:
1. HTF Candle Panel on the Right
Each HTF is drawn as a mini candle strip to the right of price.
You can control:
How many candles per HTF to display
Space between candles
Space between timeframes
Overall offset from current price
This creates a clean HTF “dashboard” without touching your main candles.
2. Volume Delta Inside Each HTF Candle
When delta mode is enabled:
Each HTF candle body is split into:
Buy volume segment (green)
Sell volume segment (red)
The split is proportional to cumulative buy vs sell volume across the entire HTF period.
Optionally, the delta value itself (buy volume − sell volume) is printed:
Positive delta inside the buy segment
Negative delta inside the sell segment
This gives a visual and numeric read of who is in control on that higher timeframe.
3. HTF Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Within each HTF strip, the script detects and highlights fair value gaps:
Bullish FVG: shaded with a green tone, optionally labeled FVG+
Bearish FVG: shaded with a red tone, optionally labeled FVG-
A line is also drawn through the midpoint of the FVG zone.
These zones quickly show where price left inefficiencies on the higher timeframe that may act as magnets or reaction levels.
4. Volume Imbalance (VI) Zones
Between consecutive HTF candles, the script also marks volume imbalance zones:
Bullish VI zones shaded green (VI+)
Bearish VI zones shaded red (VI-)
These highlight thin or aggressively traded areas that often attract future interaction.
5. Trace Lines Back to Your Main Chart
From the most recent HTF candles, the indicator can project horizontal trace lines:
From Open, High, Low, Close of the monitored HTF candle
With separate styling for each (color, line style, width)
Optional price labels at the right edge for each level
You can choose whether these traces are anchored to the first selected timeframe or the last timeframe, giving you flexibility in what levels matter most.
6. Timeframe & Timer Labels
For each HTF strip, the indicator can show:
Timeframe label (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
Countdown timer for the current HTF candle (time remaining until close)
Labels can appear at the top, bottom, or both ends of the HTF panel.
You can choose whether labels align across all HTFs or follow each strip’s own high/low.
7. Custom Daily Session Handling
For the daily timeframe, you can override the default daily open to match your session preference:
Midnight (standard calendar day)
08:30 New York time
09:30 New York time
The script then treats that custom time as the start of your “daily” candle — useful for traders who sync with cash session opens.
8. Day of Week Labels (For Daily)
On daily HTF candles, you can optionally print a day-of-week letter above the candle:
M, T, W, T, F, S, S
This gives a quick sense of where in the week the current candle sits.
Key Inputs & Customization

Limit how many HTFs are shown at once (e.g., only next 3 HTFs).
Styling
Body, border, and wick colors for bullish and bearish candles
Candle width, spacing, and panel offset
Label colors and sizes
Delta Settings
Toggle delta mode on/off
Toggle delta values text inside candles
Imbalance Settings

Control label text size
Trace Settings
Turn trace lines on/off
Customize style, color, and thickness for O/H/L/C
Choose whether to anchor traces to the first or last timeframe
Label & Timer Settings
Enable/disable HTF labels and timers
Choose label position: Top / Bottom / Both
Alignment mode: Align all strips or Follow Candles
If the chosen HTF isn’t valid for the current chart (not a proper multiple or too low), the script will show a clear on-chart message telling you to increase your chart timeframe to match the selected HTF requirements.
How It Helps Traders
Scalpers & intraday traders can stay on their low timeframe (e.g., 1m / 3m / 5m) while still seeing:
Where HTF buy/sell volume is dominant
Which HTF candles left inefficiencies that may later act as magnets or rejection zones
The exact HTF O/H/L/C levels currently active
How much time remains before the HTF bar closes (key for timing entries around closes).
Swing traders can use it to track daily and weekly HTF structure and delta while drilling down to lower timeframes for precise execution.
Candlestick analysis
Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker)
## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture
This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator.
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework.
The system is built on four core pillars:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
- Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones).
- Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances).
2. Smart DCA Strategy
- Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands
- Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts.
3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
- Distribution of volume by price, not by time.
- Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas.
4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring
- Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals.
All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System).
The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal:
- STRONG LONG 🚀
- WEAK LONG ↗
- NEUTRAL / WAIT
- WEAK SHORT ↘
- STRONG SHORT 🩸
This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time.
## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview
### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group
- Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`)
Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF.
- Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`)
- If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed.
- If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price.
- Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`)
Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart:
- `Top Right`
- `Bottom Right`
- `Top Left`
### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group
- Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`)
Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic.
- Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`)
Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points).
- Default value: 5
- Concept:
A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks.
- Increasing `ob_period`:
- Fewer levels.
- But levels tend to be more significant and reliable.
- In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.),
using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels.
- Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`)
Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances).
- Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`)
- Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80).
- Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`)
- Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent red.
- Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`)
- Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow.
- Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`)
- Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple.
### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group
- Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`)
Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels.
- RSI Length (`rsi_len`)
Lookback period for RSI (default: 14).
- Shorter → more sensitive, more noise.
- Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability.
- Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`)
Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20).
- BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`)
Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0).
- For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal.
### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group
- Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`)
Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart.
- Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`)
Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150).
- Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation.
- Row Count (`vp_rows`)
Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30).
- Width (%) (`vp_width`)
Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage.
In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume.
> Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes.
### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group
- Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`)
Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events.
- Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`)
Length of the moving average on volume.
A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA.
## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG)
### 3.1 What Is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone)
The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move.
- Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone)
The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move.
Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior:
- Price moves away from the zone.
- Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders.
- Then continues the larger trend.
In the script:
- If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created.
- If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created.
The box is drawn:
- From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`.
- Between `low ` and `high `.
- `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
- Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter.
### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide
- Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`)
- Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction.
- Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`)
- Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction.
Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area)
When two or more Order Blocks overlap:
- The shared area appears visually denser/stronger.
- This suggests higher order density.
- Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement.
### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine
is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20)
is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20)
- If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score.
- If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score.
This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether:
- Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or
- In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area.
### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
#### Concept
When the market moves aggressively:
- Some price levels are skipped and never traded.
- A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears.
- These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances.
The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often:
- Returns to these zones in the future.
- Fills the gap (rebalance).
- Then resumes its dominant direction.
#### Implementation in the Code
Bullish FVG (Yellow)
fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high
if fvg_bull_cond
box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...)
Core condition:
`low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap.
Bearish FVG (Purple)
fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low
if fvg_bear_cond
box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...)
Core condition:
`high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists.
#### FVG Color Guide
- Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG
Often acts like a magnet for price:
- Price tends to retrace into this zone,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then continue higher.
- Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG
Price tends to:
- Retrace upward into the purple area,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then resume downward movement.
#### Trading with FVGs
- FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals.
They are best used as:
- Targets (take-profit zones), or
- Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal.
Examples:
- If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone.
- If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone.
### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates
#### Reversal Long
1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone).
2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB.
3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced.
4. Entry:
- At the close of the confirmation candle, or
- Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB.
5. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
- If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity.
6. Targets:
- The next FVG,
- Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above.
#### Reversal Short
The mirror scenario:
- Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply).
- A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open).
- FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence.
- Stop-loss goes above the OB.
- Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below.
## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands)
### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept
- Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price.
- Smart DCA = scaling in only when:
- Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and
- The market is in a clear oversold condition.
Code logic:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len)
= ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult)
dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower
dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper
Conditions:
- DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone
- RSI < 30 → oversold.
- Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope.
- DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone
- RSI > 70 → overbought.
- Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean.
### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart
- Green “DCA” Label Below Candle
- Shape: `labelup`.
- Color: lime background, white text.
- Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits.
- Red “SELL” Label Above Candle
- Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition.
- Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management).
- Light Green Background (`bgcolor`)
- When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency).
- This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance.
### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading
#### Spot Trading
Used to build a better average entry price:
- Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%).
- Combining DCA signals with:
- Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or
- The Volume Profile POC
makes the zone structurally more important.
#### Futures Trading
- Longs
- Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when:
- Price is inside a green OB, or
- The Dashboard already leans LONG.
- Shorts
- Use DCA Sell signals as:
- Exit zones for longs, or
- Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs.
## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
### 5.1 Concept
Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time.
Volume Profile shows volume by price level:
- At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred?
- Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)?
- Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)?
### 5.2 Implementation in the Script
Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar:
1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed.
2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range.
3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows).
4. For each row:
- All bars are scanned.
- If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total.
5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row).
6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart.
### 5.3 Color Scheme
- Semi-transparent Orange
- The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC).
- Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective.
- Semi-transparent Blue
- Other volume rows.
- The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band.
### 5.4 Trading Applications
- If price is above POC and retraces back into it:
→ POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups.
- If price is below POC and rallies into it:
→ POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking.
HVNs (Tall Blue Bars)
- Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily.
- Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction.
LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars)
- Represent low participation zones.
- Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves.
## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring
### 6.1 Spring Concept
In the Wyckoff framework:
- A Spring is a false break of support.
- The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses,
then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity.
This movement:
- Clears out weak hands (retail sellers).
- Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions.
- Often initiates a new uptrend.
### 6.2 Code Logic
Conditions for a Spring:
1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars
→ apparent break of a long-standing support.
2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open)
→ the breakdown was rejected.
3. Volume is significantly elevated:
→ `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume).
When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled:
- A pink diamond is plotted below the bar,
- With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system.
### 6.3 Trading Use
- After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase.
- The highest quality setups occur when:
- The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and
- Near or on the Volume Profile POC.
Entries:
- At the close of the Spring bar, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle.
Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer).
## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard
### 7.1 Scoring Logic
For each bar, the script:
1. Resets `score` to 0.
2. Adjusts the score based on different signals.
SMC Contribution
if show_smc
if is_in_demand
score += 1
if is_in_supply
score -= 1
- Being in Demand → `+1`
- Being in Supply → `-1`
DCA Contribution
if show_dca
if dca_buy
score += 2
if dca_sell
score -= 2
- DCA Buy → `+2` (strong, statistically driven long signal)
- DCA Sell → `-2`
Wyckoff Spring Contribution
if show_wyc
if wyc_spring
score += 2
- Spring → `+2` (entry of strong money)
### 7.2 Mapping Score to Dashboard Signal
- score ≥ 2 → STRONG LONG 🚀
Multiple bullish conditions aligned.
- score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗
Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive.
- score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT
Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable.
- score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘
Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays.
- score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸
Convergence of several bearish signals.
### 7.3 Dashboard Structure
The dashboard is a two-column table:
- Row 0
- Column 0: `"Mars Signals"` – black background, white text.
- Column 1: `"UIS v3.0"` – black background, yellow text.
- Row 1
- Column 0: `"Price:"` (light grey background).
- Column 1: current closing price (`close`) with a semi-transparent blue background.
- Row 2
- Column 0: `"SMC:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_smc = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 3
- Column 0: `"DCA:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_dca = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 4
- Column 0: `"Signal:"`
- Column 1: signal text (`status_txt`) with background color `status_col`
(green, red, teal, maroon, etc.)
- If `show_rec = false`, these cells are cleared.

## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook
### 9.1 Timeframe Selection
- Scalping
- Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M
- Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours).
- Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff.
Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise.
- Day Trading
- Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency.
- Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard.
- Swing Trading & Position Investing
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
- Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile.
- SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends.
### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long
Example: 5-Minute Chart
1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand).
2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB.
3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence.
4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀.
5. Entry:
- On the close of the confirmation candle, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle.
6. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
7. Targets:
- Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or
- The next red OB.
### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short
Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H
1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward.
2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply).
3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled.
4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears.
5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸.
Trade Plan
- Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB.
- Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high.
- Targets:
- A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or
- The next green OB (Demand) below.
### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA
Timeframes: Daily / Weekly
1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears:
- Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset.
2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile:
- If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher.
3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases.
4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price.
Exits for investors:
- Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones.
- Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once.
### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute)
- Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD.
- A green OB had previously formed at that level.
- Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present.
- As price returns to this region, a Spring appears.
- The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗.
Plan
- Enter a long near the OB low.
- Place stop below the Spring low.
- First target: a purple FVG around 66,200.
- Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level.
### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H)
- After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase.
- On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints.
- The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level.
- The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀.
Plan
- Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone.
- Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low.
- Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG.
## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning
### 10.1 Risk Management
No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control.
Recommendations:
- In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade.
- Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins).
- Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated:
- Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure.
### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning
- Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs)
- `ob_period`: 3–5.
- `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient.
- Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets)
- `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs.
- `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA.
- `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional
volume spikes.
### 10.3 Trading Psychology
- STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”.
It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average.
- Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making.
- Example of disciplined thinking:
- The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG,
- But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent,
- In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade.
## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ
### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint?
- Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles.
- Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions.
- The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily.
### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile
- On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows.
- On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding.
- If you experience performance issues:
- Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or
- Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`).
### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior
- This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe.
All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only.
- Practical workflow:
- Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily).
- Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits.

Narrative [#]Narrative - Not predicting, “anticipating”.
Overview
Narrative, is a multi-timeframe technical analysis indicator that provides anticipative candle structure analysis by identifying and visualizing higher timeframe (HTF) price levels based on candle composition dynamics. The indicator calculates hierarchical price zones derived from candle body proportions and wick ranges, then projects these levels as support/resistance quadrants and standard deviation-based extensions for the current and subsequent timeframe periods.
Core Functionality
Narrative Analysis Algorithm
The indicator operates on a user-selectable timeframe (1m through Weekly) and analyzes completed candles to identify structural patterns:
Body-to-Wick Ratio Analysis: Compares the candle body size relative to upper and lower wicks to determine market structure bias
Quadrant Level Generation: Subdivides identified wick ranges into proportional levels (.25, .5, .75) representing key equilibrium points
Standard Deviation Extensions: Calculates and displays standard deviation bands based on either wick-specific ranges or full candle range (High-Low)
Anticipation Status Classification: Categorizes candle structure as Bullish Expansion, Bearish Expansion, or Consolidation Reversal to telegraph anticipated price behavior
What Makes This Indicator Different
Dynamic Level Generation: Unlike static support/resistance tools, Narrative generates levels from actual candle structure proportions rather than lower timeframe structure.
Hierarchical Quadrant System: Provides four distinct sublevel zones within major price ranges, enabling confluence for PD Arrays (Premium/Discount Arrays from ICT), support and resistance and “random” price movements.
Dual STDV Calculation Methods: Offers both wick-specific and full-range standard deviation modes, accommodating different narratives and their key level framework.
Advantages:
Works on any timeframe and any instrument without volume data dependency
Identifies institutional price structure through pure OHLC analysis
Provides forward-looking anticipation rather than reactive analysis
Unique Features:
Extracts pattern-specific information from individual candle structures
Updates on every timeframe change with fresh level calculations
Combines reversal probability assessment with geometric price projections

Level Confluence: Identify zones where quadrants align with other technical tools
Risk Management: Set stops relative to discovered STDV extensions or quadrants
Breakout Validation: Confirm breakouts occur at identified quadrant levels
Reversal Probability: Assess expansion vs. consolidation patterns for mean reversion setups
Compliance & Safety
No Repainting: Levels are calculated once at candle close and remain fixed
No Lookahead Bias: All calculations use closed candle data
Non-Repaint Draw Algorithm: Historical levels persist, new levels overlay forward only
Performance Optimized: Efficiently manages up to 500 lines and labels per chart instance
Summary
Narrative bridges the gap between price action analysis and algorithmic level projection by extracting predictive structure from candle composition. It provides institutional-grade level identification without requiring volume data, making it a lightweight yet powerful addition to any technical analysis workflow. The indicator excels at revealing hidden price structure that traditional indicators overlook, offering traders a quantifiable edge in identifying key reversal and continuation zones.
Relative Performance vs XAO (Histogram)RSC Relative Strength Comparison is used to compare performance of a Sector Index or Stock against a Benchmark (Index).

Stochastic Pro+ Suite📚 What Is the Stochastic Oscillator?
The stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator comparing a security's closing price to its price range over a set number of periods. The %K line represents the raw stochastic value, while the %D line is a smoothed moving average of %K.
Stochastic helps identify:
Overbought and oversold conditions
Bullish and bearish crossovers
Momentum shifts before price reversals
It is widely used in both trending and ranging markets.
💡 What Makes This Suite Different?
This script supercharges the traditional stochastic with a multi-timeframe engine , divergence detection , and a highly customizable visual suite , including:
✅ Core Features:
- Multi-Timeframe (%K, %D, Spread): Pulls stochastic data from any higher timeframe for improved signal quality.
- Custom Overbought/Oversold Levels: Fully adjustable OB/OS thresholds (default: 80/20).
- %K-%D Spread Histogram: View the difference between %K and %D visually as a histogram.
- Color-coded Cross Highlights: Optional background shading for key crossover events in OB/OS zones (high probability reversal areas).
🔍 Divergence Detection (Optional):
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while %K makes higher lows.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while %K makes lower highs.
- Customizable pivot lookbacks and range filters to control divergence strictness.
- Visual divergence labels plotted directly on the oscillator.
🎛️ Fully Toggleable Visuals:
Show/hide %K, %D, OB/OS lines, spread histogram, background highlight, and divergence — all via simple checkboxes.
🔔 Alerts:
Set alerts for both bullish and bearish divergences — ideal for swing, day, or trend reversal strategies.
⚙️ Use Cases
- Spot exhaustion in overbought/oversold zones
- Confirm or filter entries with divergence signals
- Monitor multiple timeframes without switching charts
- Use as a signal tool in confluence with price action or volume indicators

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔍 HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📌 ORDER BLOCK LOGIC
An order block forms when a strong directional candle engulfs the previous candle:
BULLISH ORDER BLOCK:
✓ Current candle closes above its open (bullish candle)
✓ Previous candle closed below its open (bearish candle)
✓ Current candle's close is above previous candle's open
✓ Current candle's open is below previous candle's close
→ The previous bearish candle's body becomes the bullish order block
BEARISH ORDER BLOCK:
✓ Current candle closes below its open (bearish candle)
✓ Previous candle closed above its open (bullish candle)
✓ Current candle's close is below previous candle's open
✓ Current candle's open is above previous candle's close
→ The previous bullish candle's body becomes the bearish order block
INVALIDATION:
• Bullish OB: Invalidated when price closes below the block's low
• Bearish OB: Invalidated when price closes above the block's high
📌 FAIR VALUE GAP LOGIC
FVGs represent areas where price moved rapidly with minimal trading activity:
BULLISH FVG (Gap Up):
• Low of current candle > High of candle
• Creates unfilled space between these two candles
• Acts as potential support zone
BEARISH FVG (Gap Down):
• High of current candle < Low of candle
• Creates unfilled space between these two candles
• Acts as potential resistance zone
FVG MANAGEMENT:
• Gaps are "filled" when price fully retraces through them
• Optional: Adjust levels when partially filled
• Optional: Change color to show tested zones
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 TRADING APPLICATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 ENTRY STRATEGIES
• Use order blocks as high-probability entry zones
• Wait for price to return to OB/FVG before entering
• Combine with higher timeframe trend direction
• Look for confluence between OBs and FVGs
🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT
• Place stop losses beyond order block boundaries
• Use multiple timeframe OBs for layered stop placement
• Smaller OBs (filtered by ATR) = tighter stops
• Larger OBs = more significant levels
🎯 TARGET SETTING
• Next order block or FVG as initial target
• Multiple timeframe analysis for swing targets
• Use FVG fills as profit-taking zones
• Higher timeframe OBs as major targets
✅ CONFIRMATION TECHNIQUES
• Wait for price reaction at order block levels
• Look for reversal candlestick patterns
• Combine with volume analysis
• Use lower timeframe for precise entries
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎓 BEST PRACTICES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1️⃣ START WITH HIGHER TIMEFRAMES
• Focus on 4H, Daily, or Weekly order blocks first
• These represent stronger institutional levels
• Use lower timeframes for entry refinement
2️⃣ USE ATR FILTER WISELY
• Enable filtering to reduce noise
• Adjust multiplier based on market volatility
• Higher volatility = higher multiplier needed
3️⃣ COMBINE MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES
• Look for confluence zones (multiple OBs/FVGs aligning)
• Higher timeframe OB + lower timeframe FVG = strong zone
• Three timeframe alignment = highest probability setups
4️⃣ ALERT MANAGEMENT
• Enable alerts for hands-free monitoring
• Set appropriate tolerance based on asset volatility
• Crypto: 0.1-0.3% | Forex: 0.05-0.1% | Stocks: 0.1-0.2%
5️⃣ UNDERSTAND MARKET CONTEXT
• OBs work best in trending markets
• FVGs are powerful in range-bound conditions
• Always consider overall market structure

BTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal DetectorThis indicator identifies true market reversals by analyzing raw price structure instead of traditional lagging indicators. It tracks how Bitcoin (and any crypto asset) naturally shifts direction by detecting confirmed swing points, followed by a structural break in the opposite direction. A bullish signal appears when price forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous structural high; a bearish signal forms when price creates a lower high followed by a break below the previous structural low.
Because it uses pure market structure, every signal reflects an actual change in trend direction, not a temporary pullback or indicator noise. This makes the tool highly reliable across all timeframes — from 1 minute scalping to multi-hour swing setups. The result is a clean, noise-free view of where the market truly reverses, giving traders clear confirmation points to plan entries, exits, or risk management.

Steff- OBX- DTA OBX – US Open 15-Minute Zone Indicator
This indicator highlights the first 15 minutes of the U.S. stock market opening, also known as the OBX (Opening Balance Extension).
It is designed specifically for Nasdaq and S&P 500, which open at 09:30 New York time — corresponding to 15:30 Danish time.
What this indicator does:
• Marks the price range from 09:30–09:45 (U.S. time) as a zone on your chart
• Automatically adjusts to your local timezone, so the zone always aligns with Danish time
• Extends the zone to the right so you can track how price interacts with OBX throughout the day
• Draws all historical OBX zones so you can analyze previous reactions
• Rebuilds zones automatically when switching timeframes
• Detects breakouts from the zone
• Tracks balancing time only after a real breakout occurs
• Can automatically remove a zone if price spends a continuous amount of time inside it after the breakout (you set the minutes yourself)
• Allows full customization of OBX start time, duration, and behavior
• Individual zones can be manually deleted without being redrawn by the indicator
Why the OBX matters:
The OBX represents one of the most influential time windows in intraday trading because it reflects:
• The first injection of liquidity after the U.S. market opens
• Institutional positioning and algorithmic adjustments
• Early volatility and directional bias
• Common zones for reversals, breakouts, or mean reversion
• Key high-probability reaction levels used by professional traders
This indicator gives you a clear visual representation of when the market reacts to the U.S. open and how price interacts with the opening range throughout the session.
Previous Day Candle [ApexFX]Previous Day Candle is a precision tool designed for intraday traders who rely on previous daily structures to find support and resistance.
While most indicators simply mark the previous high and low, this tool focuses on Session Continuity. It highlights the full 24-hour range of the previous day and extends those levels into the "Killzone" of the current trading day (up to 2:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM MST).
Why use this? Market reaction often occurs at the previous day's extremes. By extending these lines into the current session, you can easily spot:
Breakouts: Price pushing through yesterday's high.
Failed Auctions: Price sweeping yesterday's low and reversing.
Support/Resistance Flips: Old highs becoming new support.
Main Features:
Asset Class Presets: Don't worry about timezones. Simply select your market:
Forex: Aligns to the standard 5:00 PM EST New York Open.
Indices: Aligns to the 6:00 PM EST Globex Open.
Crypto: Aligns to UTC Midnight.
Custom: Full manual control for specific needs.
Visual "Boxing": Vertical dotted lines clearly demarcate the start and end of the previous trading day.
Dynamic History: Choose to show just yesterday's levels or look back at the last 5+ days.
Smart Color Coding: The indicator automatically cycles colors for each day (Blue = Yesterday, Green = 2 Days Ago, etc.), making it instant to read historical price action.
Best Used On: Intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h).

00 - Core (Primary choice: timeframe & implied mode
⭐ A Simple and Clear Explanation of the (D-W-M) Timeframe System
This option allows you to specify the type of drawing levels the indicator uses.
The indicator itself is the same… the same conditions… the same method… but only the range of movement changes according to the timeframe.
⭐ What are timeframes?
Timeframes = the candlestick timeframe.
Daily candle = D
Weekly candle = W
Monthly candle = M
The larger the timeframe, the greater the distance between the levels.
⭐ Explanation of D-W-M
🔹 1. D = Daily
Plots levels based on daily price movement.
The levels are close and small.
Suitable for scalping and short-term trading.
Gives more signals and faster price movement.
🔹 2. W = Weekly
Plots levels derived from a full week's price movement.
The levels are farther away and stronger than the daily level.
Suitable for medium-term trading (3–7 days). Fewer signals but higher accuracy.
🔹 3. M = Monthly
Based on a full month's movement.
Depicts significant and distant levels.
Suitable for long-term swing trading and in-depth analysis.
Signs are few but very strong.
⭐ Main Idea (Summary)
-The indicator is the same, -The rules are the same, -The calculation mechanism is the same…
But the difference between D/W/M is:
✔ Movement range
✔ Level strength
✔ Distance between entry points
✔ Signal duration
01 - Localization
⭐ What is this system?
This system completely changes the indicator's language.
It means that the words displayed on the chart are translated into the language you choose in the settings.
It's not just translation… It's a multilingual interface within the indicator.
⭐ What are its benefits?
Its benefits include:
✔ Making the indicator suitable for people from all over the world
✔ Displaying your chart in your preferred language
✔ Making the indicator more professional
✔ Making the indicator's wires and alerts speak your language
For example, if you have an Arabic-speaking user, they will see "Buy."
And if you have a foreign-speaking user, they will see "Buy."
Everyone can see it in their own language without you changing anything within the indicator.
⭐ What exactly does it do?
This system controls three main points:
1️⃣ Chart text interface
Types such as:
Buy / Sell
Target
Stop
Information
Translate to your chosen language.
2️⃣ Supports multiple languages
The system allows you to choose from:
Arabic
English
Turkish
Russian
Chinese
Japanese
Korean
Or Auto (automatically detects TradingView's language)
02 - Display & Colors
⭐ What is the function of this section?
This section is responsible for the Price Levels System using the indicator:
It determines whether to display historical levels or only the current ones.
It gives you complete control over the colors of the zones for each type (A, B, C, D).
In short, this entire section deals with the appearance of the levels on the chart.
⭐ Explanation of each line in a simple and understandable way:
🔵 1. group_levels
This is simply the name of the settings group.
All the settings appear within a section called:
"03 ▸ Price Levels" Organized and grouped in one place.
🔵 2. show_prev_levels
This is the most important option.
Function:
✔ Do you want to show levels for previous periods or not?
In other words:
If you set it ON → it shows current levels + levels from previous days/weeks/months
If you set it OFF → it only shows current period levels (meaning it hides any older lines or zones)
Its purpose:
If you want a clean and uncluttered chart — turn it off.
If you want a deeper analysis and to see the history of the levels — turn it on.
🔵 3. fillColorA
This is the color of the "Main Zone A".
This is usually the most important area of the indicator… and is considered the strongest area.
Your choice should be based on:
Strong support/resistance
Recurring demand/supply zone
🔵 4. fillColorB
This is the color of Zone B.
It is usually:
Localities less strong than A
Or support zones
Or a secondary level within the same period
If you don't specify a different color, the indicator uses the same color as A.
🔵 5. fillColorC
This is the color of Zone C. Typically used for:
Strong reversal zones
Danger zones
Or price divergence zones (Warning Zone)
Often shown in red as a warning.
🔵 6. fillColorD
This is the color of the "D" zone.
Usually used for:
Mild support/resistance zones
Or target levels
Or price slippage zones
Its color is green, indicating a positive zone (buy/support).
⭐ System Summary (Very simple and organized)
✔ Show Previous Levels
Turns the display of previous levels on/off.
✔ Fill Color A
Color of primary and strong zones.
✔ Fill Color B
Color of secondary zones.
✔ Fill Color C
Color of warning zones (often strong resistance/danger).
✔ Fill Color D
Color of support/buy/positive zones.
03 - Price Levels
⭐ What is the Price Levels system?
This system is responsible for plotting price levels within the indicator:
Current levels
Previous levels
Colors of the zones
Strength of each level according to its type (A – B – C – D)
This section is essentially the "visual representation" of the zones plotted by the indicator.
⭐ What does this system include?
🔹 1. Show Previous Levels
This option allows you to:
On: Displays levels from previous periods (previous day, previous week, previous month, etc., depending on the indicator's setting).
Off: Displays only the current period's levels, hiding the previous ones for a clean chart.
This is useful for people who:
Like a clean chart → Turn off
Like in-depth analysis and historical levels → Turn on
🔹 2. Colors of Levels A – B – C – D
The system divides the zones into 4 types:
A – Primary color
Strongest zone
Most important level
Most reliable
B – Supportive color
Secondary zone
Less powerful than A
Often within the same period
C – Warning color
Dangerous level or reversal point
Often red because it's a sensitive zone
D – Support/Buy color
Positive level
Often green
System objective:
Each zone type is distinguished by a different color so the reader can immediately identify the zone's strength from the color.
🔹 3. Use Unified Fill (One color for all zones)
This is a new and important option:
✔ If you enable it → all zones (A–B–C–D) will change to the same color
This means the indicator uses only one color for all zones.
Its benefits:
The chart becomes cleaner
The appearance is unified
For users who don't like too many colors
✔ If you turn it off → each level retains its own color
A color
B color
C color
D color
⭐ What is the purpose of this entire system?
The goal is for the indicator to provide:
✔ Clear and organized levels
✔ Complete control over appearance and display
✔ Professional colors that highlight the strength of each area
✔ The ability to merge all levels with a single color if you prefer a simpler look
✔ An option to show/hide previous levels
04 - Trade Settings (Entries / TP / SL)
✅ Trade Settings Explained — A Simple and Clear Guide
This section controls everything related to entry signals, profit targets, stop-loss levels, and filters within the indicator.
The main idea:
🎯 You define what you want to appear on the chart and what you want to hide… and the indicator operates according to your choices.
1️⃣ Show Buy and Sell Signals
Show Buy Signals
If enabled → Buy signals will appear on the chart (arrow, entry line, sticker).
Show Sell Signals
If enabled → Sell signals will appear.
🔸 If disabled → The indicator operates normally, but without entry signals.
2️⃣ Show Profit Targets (TP) and Stop Loss (SL)
Show TP on Chart
If enabled → The indicator draws the target line and displays the TP along with the level.
Show SL on Chart
If enabled → It draws the stop-loss line.
🔹 This means you can leave the signals without TP/SL if you just want to monitor entry without managing the trade.
3️⃣ Stop Appeared Visual Signal
Show "Stop Appeared" Visual
This is a smart option:
Even if you have disabled SL…
it still displays a small indicator that tells you:
"A stop loss appeared on this candle."
🔸 This is useful if you like to keep your chart clean but want to know exactly when the stop loss appears.
4️⃣ Strong Saturation Filter
Enable Saturation Filter
This is an additional filter to prevent weak signals.
If you enable it:
The indicator will only give a signal if the candle is strong, oversaturated, and has high momentum.
This reduces false signals and makes entry more accurate.
🔥 This option is especially important for those trading on lower timeframes.
05 - Alert Settings
✅ Alert Settings Explained
This section covers everything related to the alerts the indicator sends when an entry signal appears.
Its concept is very simple:
🎯 The indicator only alerts you when an entry signal appears… and you choose the type of alert you want to receive.
✔ Enable Simple Entry Alerts
This option is the main toggle.
If you enable it → the indicator sends an alert whenever a buy or sell signal appears.
If you disable it → the indicator operates normally, but without any alerts.
🔸 This option only controls the alert sending; it does not change the indicator's signals themselves.
2️⃣ Alert Type You Want to Receive
✔ Alert Type
Here you choose the type of signals you want the indicator to alert you to:
Buy only → Buy alerts only
Sell only → Sell alerts only
Both → Buy + Sell alerts (default option)
🔸 If you are scalping or focusing on a specific trend, you can limit the alert to only one type to reduce distractions.
In summary, simply and clearly:
The Alerts section allows you to control:
Turn alerts on/off
Choose the type of signals you want to receive: Buy, Sell, or both
This way, you can customize the indicator to alert you in the way that best suits your trading style.
Now that we've covered the basic settings and details of the indicator, I'll explain clearly and simply how stop-loss orders appear, the best timeframes, the best assets to trade, and the best trading times.
1. What is the best timeframe for trading?
According to the D system, the best fixed timeframe for trading is the 15-minute timeframe.
This timeframe provides clear, fast movement, suitable for the nature of the indicator's levels.
2. How does the stop-loss order appear?
The stop-loss order in this system is not fixed, but dynamic.
If a buy signal appears,
and then a candle closes completely below the level,
without the candle returning to touch the level from above,
then the stop-loss order appears immediately.
This is the exit mechanism for the trade in the indicator.
3. What is the best currency or asset to trade?
Based on the D system and the 15-minute timeframe, the best asset to trade is gold,
especially on ONAE, as it provides clear and consistent movement with the indicator.
4. Is it preferable to trade during news releases? I don't recommend trading during news releases, as the market often experiences slippage, which can lead to unexpected losses.
Therefore, pay close attention to high-impact news releases.
5. Can this indicator be used as support and resistance levels for other currencies, stocks, metals, and cryptocurrencies?
Yes, it can be used normally.
However, you must choose the appropriate settings:
Short-term trading → Use the daily setting (D)
Medium-term trading → Use the weekly setting (W)
Long-term trading → Use the monthly setting (M)

Micha Stokes Buyers Breakout Alert v2Buyer Breakout Rules (Word Definition)
The alert is triggered when ALL conditions in Section 1 and Section 3 are met, AND one of the two Scenarios in Section 2 is met.
1. The Setup and Breakout (The Initial Requirement)
Price Action: The closing price of the current candle must break above the highest resistance level established during the recent period of flat trading (the setup).
2. The Confirmation (Scenario A OR Scenario B)
The breakout must be accompanied by evidence of buying strength:
Scenario A: High-Conviction Breakout (Immediate Demand)
The current candle is GREEN (it closed higher than it opened).
AND the volume is HIGHER than the volume of the previous candle.
Scenario B: Seller-Exhaustion Breakout (Micha Stokes' Unique Signal)
The current candle is GREEN (it closed higher than it opened).
AND the volume is LOWER than the volume of the previous candle. (This means the price rose without much seller resistance.)
3. The Strength Filter (Conviction Check)
The candle must close near its high, showing that buyers maintained control and didn't face significant selling pressure immediately after the breakout.
15m ORB + FVG (ChadAnt)Core Logic
The indicator's logic revolves around three main phases:
1. Defining the 15-Minute Opening Range (ORB)
The script calculates the highest high (rangeHigh) and lowest low (rangeLow) that occurred during the first 15 minutes of the trading day.
This time window is defined by the sessionStr input, which defaults to 0930-0945 (exchange time).
The high and low of this range are plotted as small gray dots once the session ends (rangeSet = true).
2. Identifying a Fair Value Gap (FVG) Setup
After the 15-minute range is set, the indicator waits for a breakout of either the range high or range low.
A "Strict FVG breakout" requires two conditions on the first candle that closes beyond the range:
The candle before the breakout candle ( bars ago) must have been inside the range.
The breakout candle ( bar ago) must have closed outside the range.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) must form on the most recent three candles (the current bar and the two previous bars).
Bullish FVG (Long Setup): The low of the current bar (low) is greater than the high of the bar two periods prior (high ). This FVG represents a price inefficiency that the trade expects to fill.
Bearish FVG (Short Setup): The high of the current bar (high) is less than the low of the bar two periods prior (low ).
If a valid FVG setup occurs, the indicator marks a pending setup and draws a colored box to highlight the FVG area (Green for Bullish FVG, Red for Bearish FVG).
3. Trade Entry and Management
If a pending setup is identified, the trade is structured as a re-entry trade into the FVG zone:
Entry Price: Set at the outer boundary of the FVG, which is the low of the current bar for a Long setup, or the high of the current bar for a Short setup.
Stop Loss (SL): Set at the opposite boundary of the FVG, which is the low for a Long setup, or the high for a Short setup.
The trade is triggered (tradeActive = true) once the price retraces to the pendingEntry level.
Risk/Reward (RR) Targets: Three Take Profit (TP) levels are calculated based on the distance between the Entry and Stop Loss:
$$\text{Risk} = | \text{Entry} - \text{SL} |$$
$$\text{TP}n = \text{Entry} \pm (\text{Risk} \times \text{RR}n)$$
where $n$ is 1, 2, or 3, corresponding to the input $\text{RR}1$, $\text{RR}2$, and $\text{RR}3$ values (defaults: 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0).
Trade Lines: Upon triggering, lines for the Entry, Stop Loss, and three Take Profit levels are drawn on the chart for a specified length (lineLength).
A crucial feature is the directional lock (highBroken / lowBroken):
If the price breaks a range level (e.g., simpleBrokeHigh) but without a valid FVG setup, the corresponding directional flag (e.g., highBroken) is set to true permanently for the day.
This prevents the indicator from looking for any subsequent trade setups in that direction for the rest of the day, suggesting that the initial move, without an FVG, exhausted the opportunity.
