BE-Volume Footprint & Pressure Candles█ Overview:
BE-Volume Footprint & Pressure Candles, is an indicator which is preliminarily designed to analyze the supply and demand patterns based on Rally Base Rally (RBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR) & Rally Base Drop (RBD) concepts in conjunction to volume pressure. Understanding these concepts are crucial. Let's break down why the "Base" is you Best friend in this context.
Commonness in RBR, DBD, DBR, RBD patterns ?
There is an impulse price movement at first, be it rally (price moving up) or the Drop (price moving down), followed by a period of consolidation which is referred as "BASE" and later with another impulse move of price (Rally or Drop).
Why is the Base Important
1. Market Balance: Base represents a balance between buyers and sellers. This is where decisions are made.
2. Confirmation: It confirms the strength of previous impulse move which has happened.
Base & the Liquidity Play:
Supply & Demand Zone predict the presence of all large orders within the limits of the Base Zone. Price is expected to return to the zone to fill the unfilled orders placed by large players.
For the price to move in the intended direction Liquidity plays the major role. hence indicator aims to help traders in identifying those zones where liquidity exists and the volume pressure helps in confirming that liquidity is making its play.
Bottom pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation of Buyers volume pressure (Green Line & the Green filled area) making the price move upwards vs Sellers volume pressure (Red Line & the Red filled area) making the price move downwards.
Top pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation on the pattern identification (Blue marked zone & the Blue line referred as Liquidity level)
Bullish Pressure On Buy Liquidity:
Bearish Pressure On Sell Liquidity:
█ How It Works:
1. Indicator computes technical & mathematical operations such as ATR, delta of Highs & Lows of the candle and Candle ranges to identify the patterns and marks the liquidity lines accordingly.
2. Indicator then waits for price to return to the liquidity levels and checks if Directional volume pressure to flow-in while the prices hover near the Liquidity zones.
3. Once the Volume pressure is evident, loop in to the ride.
█ When It wont Work:
When there no sufficient Liquidity or sustained Opposite volume pressure, trades are expected to fail.
█ Limitations:
Works only on the scripts which has volume info. Relays on LTF candles to determine intra-bar volumes. Hence, Use on TF greater than 1 min and lesser than 15 min.
█ Indicator Features:
1. StrictEntries: employs' tighter rules (rather most significant setups) on the directional volume pressure applied for the price to move. If unchecked, liberal rules applied on the directional volume pressure leading to more setups being identified.
2. Setup Confirmation period: Indicates Waiting period to analyze the directional volume pressure. Early (lesser wait period) is Risky and Late (longer wait period) is too late for the
ride. Find the quant based on the accuracy of the setup provided in the bottom right table.
3. Algo Enabled with Place Holders:
Indicator is equipped with algo alerts, supported with necessary placeholders to trade any instrument like stock, options etc.

Apex Edge - London Open Session# Apex Edge - London Open Session Trading System
## Overview
The London Open Session indicator captures institutional price action during the first hour of the London forex session (8:00-9:00 AM GMT) and identifies high-probability breakout and retest opportunities. This system tracks the session's high/low range and generates precise entry signals when price breaks or retests these key institutional levels.
## Core Strategy
**Session Tracking**: Automatically identifies and marks the London Open session boundaries, creating a trading zone from the first hour's price range.
**Dual Entry Logic**:
- **Breakout Entries**: Triggers when price closes beyond the session high/low and continues in that direction
- **Retest Entries**: Activates when price returns to test the broken level as new support/resistance
**Performance Analytics**: Built-in win rate tracking displays real-time performance statistics over user-defined lookback periods, enabling data-driven optimization for each currency pair.
## Key Features
### Automated Zone Detection
- Precise London session timing with timezone offset controls
- Visual session boundaries with customizable colours
- Automatic high/low range calculation and display
### Smart Entry System
- Breakout confirmation requiring candle close beyond zone
- Retest detection with configurable pip distance tolerance
- Separate risk/reward ratios for breakout vs retest entries
- Visual entry arrows with clear trade direction labels
### Performance HUD
- Real-time win rate calculation over customizable periods (7-365 days)
- Total trades tracking with win/loss breakdown
- Average risk-reward ratio display
- Color-coded performance metrics (green >70%, yellow >50%, red <50%)
### PineConnector Integration
- Direct MT4/MT5 execution via PineConnector alerts
- Proper forex pip calculations for all currency pairs
- Customizable risk percentage per trade
- Symbol override capability for broker compatibility
- Automatic SL/TP level calculation in pips
## Critical Usage Requirements
### Pair-Specific Optimization
Each currency pair requires individual optimization due to varying volatility characteristics, institutional participation levels, and typical price ranges during London hours. The performance HUD is essential for identifying optimal settings before live trading.
**Recommended Testing Process**:
1. Apply indicator to desired currency pair and timeframe
2. Experiment with session timing - while 8:00-9:00 AM GMT is standard, some pairs may show improved performance with alternative hourly windows (e.g., 7:00-8:00 AM or 9:00-10:00 AM)
3. Adjust Stop Loss distances, Risk/Reward ratios, and Retest distances
4. Monitor win rate over 30+ day periods using the performance HUD
5. Only proceed with live alerts once consistent 60%+ win rates are achieved
6. Create separate optimized chart setups for each profitable pair/timeframe combination
### Timeframe Specifications
This indicator is specifically designed and tested for:
- **1-minute charts**: Optimal for capturing immediate institutional reactions
- **5-minute charts**: Balanced approach between noise reduction and opportunity frequency
Higher timeframes generally produce inferior results due to increased noise and reduced institutional edge during the London session window.
## Settings Configuration
### Session Timing
- **London Open/Close Hours**: Adjust for your chart's timezone
- **Rectangle End Time**: Set to 4:30 PM to stop signals before NY session close
- **Timezone Offset**: Ensure accurate London session capture
### Entry Parameters
- **Retest Distance**: 3-8 pips depending on pair volatility
- **Stop Loss Pips**: Separate settings for breakouts (10-15 pips) and retests (8-12 pips)
- **Risk/Reward Ratios**: Independent ratios for different entry types
### PineConnector Setup
- **License ID**: Your PineConnector license key
- **Symbol Override**: MT4/MT5 symbol names if different from TradingView
- **Risk Percentage**: Position size as percentage of account balance
- **Prefix/Comment**: Organize trades in terminal
## Manual Trading Limitations
Without PineConnector automation, traders face significant practical challenges:
**Settings Management**: Each currency pair requires different optimized parameters. Switching between charts means manually adjusting multiple settings each time, creating potential for errors and missed opportunities.
**Timing Sensitivity**: London Open signals can occur rapidly during high-volatility periods. Manual execution may result in slippage or missed entries.
**Multi-Pair Monitoring**: Tracking 4-11 currency pairs simultaneously while manually adjusting settings for each switch becomes impractical for most traders.
**Parameter Consistency**: Risk of using suboptimal settings when quickly switching between pairs, potentially compromising the careful optimization work.
## Recommended Workflow
1. **Historical Testing**: Use win rate HUD to identify profitable pairs and optimal parameters
2. **Demo Automation**: Test PineConnector alerts on demo accounts with optimized settings
3. **Live Implementation**: Deploy alerts only on proven profitable pair/timeframe combinations
4. **Ongoing Monitoring**: Regular review of performance metrics to maintain edge
## Risk Disclaimer
This indicator provides analysis tools and automation capabilities but does not guarantee profitable trading outcomes. Past performance does not predict future results. Users should thoroughly backtest and demo trade before risking live capital. The London session strategy works best during specific market conditions and may underperform during low volatility or unusual market environments.
## Support Requirements
Successful implementation requires:
- Basic understanding of London session market dynamics
- PineConnector subscription for automation features
- Patience for proper optimization process
- Realistic expectations about win rates and drawdown periods
This system is designed for serious traders willing to invest time in proper optimization and risk management rather than plug-and-play solutions.

Rounded Forex Levels: Big-Figure, Mid-Figure, 80-20 levels, BFRNSimple indicator to show Rounded levels in typical Forex pairs: Big figure, Mid-figure, 80-20 Insitutional Levels, 10pip levels, 5pip levels
Wrote this indicator because other ones out there seem to clutter the chart. This is simple, low-clutter and can be set by user to have arbitrary start and end points for the lines.
I wanted the ability for lines to plot discreetly to the right hand side of price as in the chart above, since in my opinion, these are only of secondary consideration to a trader, an extra confirmation/confluence to an existing idea.
//Purpose & Usage:
-Big-figure levels (100pips) & Mid-figure levels (50pips) will have a senstitivity to price, that can be an additional tool when looking for confluence for a target or an entry.
-As well as BF levels and MF levels; Institutional levels (20pips below and 20 pips above a Big Figure level) and standard 10pip or 5pip levels, can be useful in the right context (i.e added confirmation that of a minor sweep target; added conviction in an idea if the level aligns with another seperately derived level).
//User inputs:
-Toggle on/off each of the types of level.
-Line spacing: choose pip spacing of lines .
-Number of lines above/below (i.e. setting of 5 will be 11 lines. One central, 5 above, 5 below).
-Formatting: for each class of lines, code by color, style and width (as per the example chart below).
-Line start offset and line end offset: bars forward/back for each of start point and end point. So lines could be spread right across chart; or neatly pushed to the far right or left of the chart.
//Notes:
-Designed for typical Forex pairs with units close to 1.0 (like Eur/Usd, Usd/Cad, Aud/Usd, Gbp/Usd, Eur/Gbp, Nzd/Usd).
-Lines are based from the rounded close of the previous bar, Updating (if applicable) on each new bar.

Institutional Price LevelsInstitutional price levels
(AKA round numbers, Perfect Price Levels-PPL)
Institutional Price Levels (IPL) script shows the closest round numbers from the current price.
Some traders uses round numbers as a support resistance levels.
For example: 0.000 0.500 1.000 levels. Additional levels are 0.200 0.800.
So I made a simple script that shows round numbers and the quarter levels(Not exactly quarter but minor levels)
Quarter level option is planned on next update.
Default range is 300 pips and you can extend until 500 pips range.
Time range is extandable to the right and left side. You can just extend the line by increasing the bar numbers.
Inputs:
Show levels - Can show and hide all levels. Level colors are optional.
Show quarter - Can show and hide minor levels which is 0.800 0.200 levels. Colors are optional
Show more levels - Can show and hide more levels. Default range is 300 pips. Additional 200 pips range is optional.
Extend right bars - Can set length of levels to the right side.
Extend left bars - Can set length of levels to the left side.
Thank you.
