Swing High/Low Scalper(Mastersinnifty)Overview
The Swing High/Low Scalper is designed for traders seeking structured entries and disciplined stop-loss planning during momentum shifts. It combines smoothed Force Index readings with swing high/low analysis to identify moments where both momentum and structural price levels align.
When a new directional bias is confirmed, the indicator plots clear entry signals and dynamically calculates the nearest logical stop-loss level based on recent swing points.
---
Core Logic
- Force Index Bias Detection
- The Force Index (price × volume change) is smoothed with an EMA to determine sustained bullish or bearish momentum.
- Signal Memory and Noise Reduction
- The indicator remembers the last signal (buy/sell) and only triggers a new signal when the bias changes, helping avoid redundant entries in sideways or noisy conditions.
- Swing-based Stop-Loss Calculation
- Upon signal confirmation, the script automatically plots a stop-loss label near the most recent swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells).
- If conditions are extreme, fallback safety checks are used to validate the stop-loss placement.
---
Key Features
- Dynamic, structure-based stop-loss plots at every trade signal.
- Visual background bias:
- Green tint = Bullish bias
- Red tint = Bearish bias
- Minimalist and clean chart visualization for easy interpretation.
- Designed for scalability across timeframes (from 1-minutes to daily charts).
---
Why It’s Unique
- Unlike simple momentum oscillators or swing indicators, this tool integrates a state-tracking mechanism.
- A signal is only generated when a true shift in directional force occurs and swing structure supports the move, seeking to catch only meaningful changes rather than every minor fluctuation.
- This dual-filter approach emphasizes quality over quantity, aiming for disciplined entries with risk levels derived from actual price behavior, not arbitrary formulas.
---
How to Use
- Apply the Script to your desired chart and timeframe.
- Look for Signals:
- Green Up Arrow = Buy Signal
- Red Down Arrow = Sell Signal
- Observe Stop-Loss Labels
- Use the plotted SL labels for setting exit points based on recent swing structure.
- Monitor Background Bias:
- Green or Red background hints at prevailing directional momentum.

Liquidity Trap Reversal Pro (Radar v2)Liquidity Trap Reversal Pro (Radar v2) is a non-repainting indicator designed to detect hidden liquidity traps at key swing highs and lows. It combines wick analysis, volume spike detection, and optional trend and exhaustion filters to identify high-probability reversal setups.
🔷 Features:
Non-Repainting: Pivots confirmed after lookback period, no future leaking.
Volume Spike Detection: Filters traps that occur during major liquidity events.
EMA Trend Filter (Optional): Focus on traps aligned with the prevailing trend.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter (Optional): Confirm traps using a higher timeframe EMA bias.
Exhaustion Guard (Optional): Prevents traps after overextended moves based on ATR stretch.
Clean Visuals: Distinct plots for raw trap points vs confirmed traps.
Alerts Included: Set alerts for confirmed high/low liquidity traps.
📚 How to Use:
Watch for Trap Signals:
A Trap High signal suggests a potential bearish reversal.
A Trap Low signal suggests a potential bullish reversal.
Use Confirmed Signals for Best Entries:
Confirmed traps fire only after price moves opposite to the trap direction, adding reliability.
Use Trend Filters to Improve Accuracy:
In an uptrend (price above EMA), prefer Trap Lows (buy setups).
In a downtrend (price below EMA), prefer Trap Highs (sell setups).
Use the Exhaustion Guard to Avoid Bad Trades:
This filter blocks signals when price has moved too far from trend, helping avoid late entries.
Recommended Settings:
Best used on 15-minute, 1-hour, or 4-hour charts.
Trend filter ON for trending markets.
Exhaustion guard ON for volatile or stretched markets.
📈 Important Notes:
This script does not repaint once a pivot is confirmed.
Alerts trigger only on confirmed trap signals.
Always combine signals with sound risk management and trading strategy.
Disclaimer:
This script is for educational purposes only. It is not investment advice or a guarantee of results. Always do your own research before trading.
RSI + MACD + Liquidity FinderLiquidity Finder: The liquidity zones are heuristic and based on volume and swing points. You may need to tweak the volumeThreshold and lookback to match the asset's volatility and timeframe.
Timeframe: This script works on any timeframe, but signals may vary in reliability (e.g., higher timeframes like 4H or 1D may reduce noise).
Customization: You can modify signal conditions (e.g., require only RSI or MACD) or add filters like trend direction using moving averages.
Backtesting: Use TradingView's strategy tester to evaluate performance by converting the indicator to a strategy (replace plotshape with strategy.entry/strategy.close).

Most Volume Candle LevelsThe script finds the candlestick with the maximum volume in the specified period (20 bars by default).
Draws levels on high and low of this candlestick.
You can set the color of the lines (yellow by default).
DMM Face-Melter Pro v2🔧 Core Components & Functionality
📐 Dynamic Fibonacci Levels (Slow)
Five ultra-reliable zones based on extended Fibonacci sequences (think 377, 610, 987, etc.).
Specifically designed to remain hidden until price proximity matters.
When price action moves within ~10% of one of these levels, it’s automatically activated and displayed.
As price moves away, the level enters a cooldown phase and stops printing on the chart.
Especially powerful in swing setups and macro timeframes, where these levels often mark major turning points or hidden support/resistance, yet are not routinely tracked due their long length.
🧊 Cool 9 + Gradient Suite (Fast to Medium)
Cool 9: A fast-reacting line with a smooth visual gradient stretching to the Fibonacci 34. The gradient visually communicates momentum decay and near-term exhaustion.
Cool 21 and Cool 55: Optional overlays that round out this trio of reactive lines. These mid-length Fib levels are ideal for spotting rhythm-based reversals and continuation patterns.
All three have proven effectiveness across all timeframes, from intraday to monthly charts, with an emphasis on oscillation structure.
🌫 Death Metal Bands (Candle Coloring Logic)
Candle colors shift dynamically based on interaction with a Bollinger Bands–inspired cloud.
Candles get brighter or darker as they close deeper into the upper or lower cloud, giving an intuitive sense of price extremes without extra lines.
The color sequence resets when price enters the middle zone.
Choose between:
Standard Mode: Green/red candles shift toward white/gray.
Low-Stress Mode: Cream/gray candles shift toward purple/blue—for reduced screen fatigue and clearer judgment in high-volatility conditions.
🟨 200-Day Cloud
A cloud-based visualization of the 200-period moving average, enhanced with an embedded Fibonacci level.
Helps identify high-confluence zones that institutional traders often react to, but which are rarely marked with this level of refinement.
🧠 How to Use It
This script was built for traders who need high-signal input and low chart noise:
Swing traders can use the dynamic Fibonacci levels to monitor hidden zones where price often pivots.
Trend followers can lean on the Cool 9 suite to confirm direction and strength in real time.
Visual and discretionary traders will benefit from candle color cues that highlight exhaustion without clashing with other systems or charts.
Timeframe Titans: Market Structure & MTF Order Blocks🟩 OVERVIEW
A combined market structure and order block indicator. Displays fractals, zigzags, Break Of Structure and Change Of Character lines. Shows order blocks on the chart and a higher timeframe.
Unique features include:
• The structure rules require counter fractals for BOS. This enables us to use more responsive fractal settings without creating excessive noise.
• Structure is strict. After the initial CHoCH there is always one and only one active CHoCH line.
• Order blocks can be filtered by market structure.
• Order blocks are based entirely on candle patterns (which appear to be unique among all the indicators we tested) instead of using pivots or other configurable calculations.
• Order blocks have separate mitigation levels, not merely the edge of the block, and being partially mitigated is a separate logical state.
🟩 WHAT IS MARKET STRUCTURE?
There are many ways to conceptualise and code market structure — the prevailing trend derived from important price levels. All of them start with identifying highs and lows in price, then use breaks of those levels to assign a trend.
This indicator displays the following market structure features:
• Williams Fractals to derive high and low pivots.
• Zigzag lines, which connect highs and lows.
• Break of Structure (BOS) lines, which are formed from the highest high in an *uptrend* or the lowest low in a *downtrend*. A break of a BOS line signals trend continuation.
• Change of Character (CHoCH) lines, which are formed from the highest high in a *downtrend* or the lowest low in an *uptrend*. A break of a CHoCH line signals trend reversal.
• Market structure bias, which is derived from the break of a CHoCH line. If a CHoCH line is broken to the upside, the trend is bullish, and if to the downside, bearish.
(For more details of the market structure features of this indicator, see the FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR section.)
This definition of market structure implies that:
• There can only ever be one single active BOS line.
• There can only ever be one single active CHoCH line.
• A break of a BOS line creates a new CHoCH line.
• A break of a CHoCH line creates a new bias, a new BOS line, and a new CHoCH line.
• Before we can create a BOS, we need to know the bias, for which we need the CHoCH, for which we need BOS... just one of the chicken-vs-egg difficulties of coding market structure.
To understand how this indicator differs from other market structure indicators, see the COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS section.
🟩 WHAT ARE ORDER BLOCKS?
Order blocks are candle patterns that appear at highs and lows. The theory is that these areas are where many orders were filled — too many for the order book, causing an imbalance in buyers and sellers. As such, these areas can form support or resistance levels when price returns to them.
This indicator displays the following features related to order blocks:
• Imbalances, also called Fair Value Gaps.
• Order blocks of two different types (Imbalance Block and Standard Order Blocks)
(For more details of the order block features of this indicator, see the FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR section.)
There are different patterns that can define order blocks, but the common element is that price should move vigorously away from the area after the pattern forms.
To understand how this indicator differs from other order block indicators, see the COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS section.
🟩 FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR
Pivots
Shows Williams high and low fractals, with a configurable lookback. The pivots are always calculated, since they are the building block of all other market structure features. The pivot shape display can be turned on or off, and the display customised.
Zigzag
Draws lines between the highs and lows. The lines can be shown or hidden, and the colour and thickness configured.
Break of Structure
BOS lines are always calculated, but can be shown or hidden. The appearance can be customised. BOS lines are drawn from the candle that has the high or low that defines their level. They always extend until they are broken or the bias changes. The BOS lines have an optional, configurable label. When a BOS line is broken, an optional, configurable label is drawn on that bar.
Change of Character
CHoCH lines can be shown, hidden, and customised. CHoCH lines always extend until they are broken or a new CHoCH line is formed. CHoCH lines have optional labels. A different, customisable label is drawn when a CHoCH line is broken.
Market structure bias
Market structure bias is derived from the break of a CHoCH line. If a CHoCH line is broken to the upside, the trend is bullish, and if to the downside, bearish. The background is shaded a configurable colour based on the trend.
Imbalances
Imbalances are drawn in configurable colours. When they are mitigated, you can choose to change the colour, delete them, or leave them.
Order blocks
Two types of imbalance order blocks are displayed: Standard Order Blocks and Imbalance Blocks. They can be shown or hidden, and customised, independently.
Each order block has a mitigation line with configurable colours and style. If price exceeds the mitigation line, the order block is mitigated and is considered inactive.
The order blocks, or their labels, can be deleted when the order block is mitigated. If not deleted, their colour is changed and they no longer extend with each new bar.
Order blocks on the chart timeframe can be shown conditionally within the context of the market structure: you can choose to show:
• Pro-trend order blocks (bearish order blocks that were created in bearish market structure and vice-versa).
• Counter-trend order blocks (bearish order blocks that were created in bullish market structure and vice-versa).
• All order blocks.
Higher timeframe
Imbalances and order blocks can be independently shown and customised on a single higher timeframe. The HTF functions of this indicator do not repaint because they use confirmed data.
You can choose a custom, fixed higher timeframe, or an "Auto" mode where the script automatically chooses the higher timeframe based on the chart timeframe.
Script information messages
An optional table shows information about the script, including configuration problems, such as if a custom HTF is not actually higher than the chart timeframe.
🟩 HOW TO USE
There are very many ways to use market structure and order blocks in trading and we recommend you study extensively, and if possible get a trusted mentor.
Here is a random example we found on the recent GBPUSD chart. In the screenshot below, the left chart is at 30m and the right is at 5m. We've toggled various settings to make the chart clearer for demonstration purposes.
1 — We get a CHoCH break on the higher timeframe. So our bias (if we are trying to trade with the trend) is bearish. Now we look for some other confluence.
2 — Price revisits the top of the range and mitigates an imbalance block. It wicks the CHoCH (resetting it) but does not break it on close. The bearish market structure is thus preserved. For these reasons, we're thinking about a short, and we switch to the 5m chart on the right to find an entry. We've chosen a Custom HTF of 30m to match the left chart and we can see the mitigated HTF order block, marked "30m IB". We can see when price moves definitively out of the order block area to the downside.
3 — A bearish order block is formed and very quickly price comes back into it. We could enter a short here with a stop above the closest relevant fractal.
4 — Another bearish order block forms and price retests it. Another entry. Two previous 5m bullish order blocks at the bottom of the chart act as support. We could potentially close our short here.
5 — Another test of the same block, which was not mitigated the first time. Another potential short entry. As it happens, price makes a massive run lower here, such that we could trail our stop down one ATR above every single high fractal (marked out using manual rays and a public ATR indicator) for a good R:R, but that's not the point.
This is a made-up, retrofitted example with a fairly generic methodology. It's just to show how some of the features of this indicator could be used in trading:
• Market structure can give a bias. It can also mark interesting levels.
• Using multiple timeframes, while more complex, can level up your trading experience.
• Price trading back into order blocks can be a good R:R entry.
Your actual way of trading, your playbook of setups, your knowledge of your strengths and weakness as a trader, is your own.
🟩 LIMITATIONS
This indicator is intended for use on Forex markets, although order blocks and market structure do form on any reasonably liquid asset.
The HTF uses confirmed data, so you need to wait until the HTF bar is closed before the order block can form. Therefore it does not repaint, in the sense that people worry about repainting, of changing data in the past. We use the latest recommended method of fetching HTF data .
The market structure uses live chart data, so structure and order blocks that are created by conditions on an open realtime bar can appear and disappear as the current bar close changes. This is quite normal .
The Williams pivots are by definition only confirmed after a defined number of bars, and like everyone else we plot them offset into the past.
Similarly, we offset order blocks into the past so that they start on the candle that has the high or low that defines the order block, not the candle that created them. For HTF order blocks, we calculate the number of chart bars back assuming a 24-hour market, which gives accurate offsets only on Forex and other symbols that trade close to 24 hours each day.
🟩 COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS
There are a great number of market structure and order block indicators already published on TradingView. Since there are only a certain number of highs and lows on the chart from which to produce structure and order blocks, they all look somewhat similar. However, this indicator, written entirely from scratch without reference to the code of any other indicators, is unique and original in two kinds of ways: in patterns and in features.
PRECISE PATTERNS
We believe that edge in trading can be found in, amongst other things, precision in analysis. You can't truly trust your backtests if your system is not repeatable, and your system is repeatable only if its definitions are precise.
We trade with this indicator, and our students trade with it as well. Why did we spend months creating a new indicator instead of using one of the many existing ones, most of which are free and open source?
Because they are not quite how we wanted.
The indicator was created from our proprietary structure rules, which are based on the generally accepted understanding of market structure, with some specific tweaks.
To prepare this description (after the indicator is finished), we searched for "Market Structure", "CHoCH", and "SMC" and list below all popular (with over 3K boosts; excluding invite-only) indicators that show market structure with CHoCH (sometimes called MSS). We configured the settings to most closely match how our indicator works, added both indicators to the same chart, and looked for relevant differences.
The purpose of this section is not to try to say that this indicator is better than any other, but just that it is different. This difference is important for us and our students.
Indicator #1
As you can see, the indicator interpreted the first part of the chart as a downtrend, whereas ours interpreted it as an uptrend. The structure is completely different, because our Williams Fractal lookback is 2, and the minimum "Swing Points" value for Indicator #1 is 10. Although this indicator is deservedly popular, it isn't what we can use for the way we trade.
Indicator #2
Setting the "Zigzag Length" to 2 results in wildly different market structure, as shown below. For many fractals, this indicator does not place the zigzag at the highest high or lowest low, as ours does consistently. It does not highlight the trend in any way. It gives many Market Structure Breaks in a short period. Although it's again wildly popular, it doesn't match our way of encoding market structure.
Indicator #3
Again, setting the "Pivot lb" and "Pivot rb" inputs to 2 gives much too sensitive market structure. This is because this indicator does not require, as we do, a counter-fractal to form after a fractal in order to confirm a BOS. We believe that this rule gives less noisy structure while also being responsive. Most indicators attempt to compensate for this by having a much larger lookback period. While this does of course give fewer pivots and less noise, this is simply a different logic and gives different results. Note also that although this indicator correctly defines the first section of the chart as an uptrend, it does not draw a CHoCH line. As discussed above, our definition of market structure means that there should always be one and only one active CHoCH line, and we draw this at the earliest sensible opportunity.
Indicator #4
Again, the lack of any extra pivot confirmation logic means that this indicator creates different structure with the same lookback period. Also note the lack of initial CHoCH.
Indicator #5
The lowest lookback is 3, and so this indicator too gives very different structure.
Indicator #6
Of course, using a lookback of 2 gives different structure with this indicator too. For variety, here we show a lookback of 5, which is the lowest setting that returns significantly less noisy structure. You can see that the main CHoCH at the top of the chart is similar but not at the same place. Increasing the lookback does not ever result in a CHoCH at the same place, because the logic is simply different. When the lookback increases above 10, no CHoCH lines are drawn at the top at all.
Indicator #7
This indicator uses the highest/lowest price for the last 10 bars (fixed), along with some other bar conditions. You can see the resulting structure is quite different. Among other differences, it does not create a BOS at the top of the chart, even in an uptrend, and it does not create an opposing CHoCH when the existing CHoCH is broken.
Indicator #8
With "Custom" market structure and a length of 2, BOS and CHoCH lines are drawn by this indicator but in incongruous places.
Conclusion
Although we only illustrate the top few alternatives, we did check many, many others.
These market structure indicators may produce useful output, but their structure differs significantly from ours. We didn't even need to get into specific examples because the general approaches are so different. It is up to the user to decide which indicator, and which interpretation of market structure, best suits their needs.
ORDER BLOCKS
Continuing, we illustrate differences with the most popular order block indicators, trying to get them to match our order blocks. Note that some of these are also in the previous list as market structure indicators.
Order blocks are always formed at swings when price moves away with force, so they will be sort of the same across all the very many existing order block indicators. We are looking for precision and differentiation, as we did with market structure.
Indicator #1
This indicator does not have ability to display mitigated order blocks, only active ones. The order blocks do not match at all.
Indicator #2
With a period of 2, this indicator marks many of the same order blocks as ours. It doesn't extend the blocks, and doesn't mark them when mitigated. The logic for choosing the order block candle is also clearly different.
Indicator #3
Even with very sensitive settings, this indicator did not create as many order blocks as ours and they are quite different.
Indicator #4
Again you can see the logic for choosing candles and creating blocks is simply different. This indicator has inadequate protection against empty arrays, which causes runtime errors on charts with not much history (not a problem for Forex charts in general, but noticeable on the testing chart).
Indicator #5
We were unable to get the order blocks to extend with this indicator, although it should be possible. Anyway the blocks are wildly different.
Indicator #6
Even with the most sensitive settings, this indicator showed only one order block on our test chart.
Indicator #7
This indicator incorporates complex price action concepts. Nevertheless, the order blocks are very different indeed.
Indicator #8
This indicator forms quite different blocks to ours. It has several interesting settings including a choice of using the candle body or wick.
Indicator #9
We were not able to configure this indicator to produce the same order blocks as ours.
Indicator #10
On very sensitive settings, this indicator matches many of our order blocks, but at the same time many are different.
Conclusion
None of the indicators tested here (nor the many others we looked at previously) use the same logic as ours. The differences are so obvious that we don't have to call out individual blocks and analyse how they differ.
Fundamentally, other indicators seem to use variable precision for pivots in their order block detection calculations. Our order blocks are pure candle patterns with two different rulesets for Standard Order Blocks and Imbalance Order Blocks, and this logic does not change.
Note that our order blocks do not always automatically extend to the swing high or low, nor allow the user to choose the limit of the block, but use unique rules.
In summary, our indicator differs from other order block indicators in terms of fundamental detection logic, candle placement, boundary definition, mitigation levels, and logical states (see below).
UNIQUE COMBINATION OF FEATURES
In comparison to all other indicators we looked at, our indicator:
• Uses order blocks with three states: active, mitigated, and partially mitigated. Our mitigation lines for order blocks are rules-based. If price touches the mitigation line, the order block is considered fully mitigated. If price goes inside the order block but does not hit the mitigation line, it is only partially mitigated. These three states are visually distinguished.
• Has the most extensive visual customisation options of all those we looked at. We believe that being able to customise how you see indicator outputs is very important for reducing mental load while analysing and trading.
• Has a unique feature that combines market structure and order blocks, where the user can choose to show pro-trend order blocks (bullish blocks that are formed in bullish structure and vice-versa) or counter-trend blocks (bullish blocks that are formed in bearish structure and vice-versa).
• Approximates an initial trend bias very quickly, so we can start creatng BOS, CHoCH, etc.
• Requires a counter pivot to confirm a BOS line. This seemingly small logical step actually creates very different structure, as we saw in the comparison section.
• Uses a sophisticated array-based sorting mechanism to preserve the selected number of imbalances, use the rest of the TradingView box allowance for order blocks, and delete excess order block objects (not just drawings) in reverse historical order.
• Hides order block drawings if they are a configurable distance away from price. Magically redraws them if price moves closer.
• Includes an equivalent to the system "Calculated bars" setting for the high timeframe, to avoid unnecessary processing and improve performance.
🟩 CODING CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator consists of all original code written by @SimpleCryptoLife for Timeframe_Titans.
AI was used for the following purposes:
• Autocomplete
• Checking that bullish and bearish logic is parallel in a given function
• Querying the names and locations of variables hundreds of lines away when we forgot what they're called, like an expensive search-and-replace
• Help with debugging (it usually makes up elaborate and wrong ideas though)
It was not used to replace the coder's expertise and creativity, or to "vibe-code" some black-box functionality we didn't understand. We can recommend that you use AI the same way.

BlindspotBlindspot - Multi-Asset Level Indicator
**Overview:**
The "Blindspot" indicator helps identify potential support and resistance levels based on price data from *another* asset, overlaid directly onto your current chart. This allows you to quickly visualize key price points from a related market (like the S&P 500) and see how they might influence the asset you're trading.
**How it Works:**
This indicator pulls closing prices from a symbol of your choosing (default is SPX). You define up to five horizontal levels based on that source symbol’s price. These levels are then plotted on *your* chart, allowing for easy comparison.
**Key Features & Inputs:**
**Source Symbol:** Specify the ticker you want to pull level data from (e.g., SPX, QQQ, BTCUSD).
* **Show Level X (1-5):** Enable or disable individual levels for a cleaner chart view.
* **Level X Price:** Set the specific price level you want to plot.
* **Color:** Customize the color of each line for better visibility.
**How to Use It:**
1. **Choose a Relevant Symbol:** Select a symbol that has a correlation or influence on the asset you're trading. For example, if trading a tech stock, SPX might be a good choice.
2. **Define Key Levels:** Identify significant support and resistance levels on the source symbol’s chart. Enter these prices into the "Level X Price" inputs.
3. **Observe for Confluence:** Look for areas where the plotted levels align with support/resistance zones on *your* chart. These points of confluence can indicate potential turning points or strong price reactions.
**Who is this indicator for?**
This indicator is ideal for:
* Traders who want to incorporate inter market analysis into their strategies.
* Beginner traders learning about support and resistance levels.
* Anyone looking for a visual way to identify potential key price points from related assets.
**Disclaimer:** This indicator is intended for informational purposes only and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always conduct your own research and consider your risk tolerance before entering any trade.
SMC Entry Signals MTF v2📘 User Guide for the SMC Entry Signals MTF v2 Indicator

A bullish engulfing candle appears
A bullish Order Block (OB) or Breaker Block is detected
There’s an upward imbalance
A bullish OB is confirmed on the higher timeframe
➡️ How to act:
Consider entering long on the current or next candle.
Place your stop-loss below the OB or the nearest swing low.
Take profit at the nearest liquidity zone or premium area (above FIB 50%).
🔻 SHORT Signal (red triangle above the candle):
Conditions:
Price is in a premium zone (above FIB 50%)
A bearish engulfing candle appears
A bearish OB or Breaker Block is detected
There’s a downward imbalance
A bearish OB is confirmed on the higher timeframe
➡️ How to act:
Consider short entry after the signal.
Place your stop-loss above the OB or swing high.
Target the discount zone or the next liquidity pocket.
⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.
⏰ Alerts & Automation
Enable alerts:
"SMC Long Entry" — fires when a long signal appears.
"SMC Short Entry" — fires when a short signal appears.
You can integrate this with bots via webhook, like:
TradingConnector, 3Commas, Alertatron, etc.
✅ What This Indicator Gives You
High-probability entries using SMC logic
Customizable filters for entry logic
Multi-timeframe confirmation for stronger setups
Suitable for both intraday and swing trading
Custom Opening Range - CommoditiesThe Custom Opening Range Indicator for Commodities is designed for instruments that trade nearly 24 hours, such as crude oil or natural gas. It allows traders to define the Opening Range based on Indian Standard Time (IST)—typically starting at 3:30 AM IST, which aligns with the global commodities market open. Users can customize both the start time and duration of the range (e.g., 5, 15, or 30 minutes). The indicator dynamically plots the high and low of this range and shades the area between them, providing a clear visual reference for breakout or reversal setups during the rest of the trading session.
Anchored Darvas Box## ANCHORED DARVAS BOX

### OVERVIEW
**Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle.
The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL
1. **ANCHOR BAR**
*You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**.
2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7**
• `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance.
• `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance.
3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14**
• Price must stay inside ` `.
• Any violation aborts the test; no box is created.
4. **ARMED STATE**
• If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear:
– **Green** at `rangeHigh`
– **Red** at `rangeLow`
• The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout.
5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION**
• **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**.
• **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**.
• Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again.
• Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge.
6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN**
• After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS
• **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence.
• **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows.
• **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks.
• **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable).
• **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box.
---
### USER WORKFLOW
1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open).
2. Watch live as the script:
– Paints the seven-bar range.
– Draws validation lines.
– Locks in the box on breakout.
3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades.
---
### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
• **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break.
• **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility.
• **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket.
• **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk.
---
### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS
• **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open).
• **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile).
• **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data.

### FINAL THOUGHTS
Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.
Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES
---
### OVERVIEW
**Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology.
The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout.
Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
* Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world.
* Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent.
* His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.”
* Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box.
* This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE)
**STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**
• Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).
• Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.
• Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.
• Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).
• Immediately transition to STATE 1.
**STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**
• Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).
• If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.
• If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2.
**STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**
• Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.
• Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.
• Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.
• Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:
– **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.
– **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`.
**STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**
• Upon breakout the script:
1. Deletes the live range lines.
2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.
◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.
◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.
3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:
◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.
◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.
• After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL)
* **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments.
* **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise.
* **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes.
* **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge.
---
### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION
* During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold.
* When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction.
* This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag.
---
### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS
* **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box.
* **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals.
* **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative.
* **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples.
* **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset.
---
### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS
* **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility.
* **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned.
* **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets.
* **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation.

Swing Highs and Lows between two InstrumentsThis Indicator will show you common Swing Points between two different trading symbols.
You can also use it to display the Swing Points of the current symbol or another symbol only.
When applying the Indicator to your chart it will ask you to put in a symbol. This symbol is used to find common Swing Points against the symbol that you have on your screen. Should you decide not to choose any symbol the indicator will instead mark all Swing Points for the current symbol.
Settings
Symbol: Choose any symbol that you want to compare to the selected symbol on your screen.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity defines how many candles left and right of a Swing Point have to be below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low) in order for the Indicator to mark it. A lower sensitivity will give a lot more Swing points, whereas a higher sensitivity will show less, but more important Swing Points.
Equal Highs Permissible: When calculating where a Swing Point is you can decide how you want equal highs and equal lows to be handled. The default is set to "yes" which means equal highs will be counted as if they were below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low). Choosing "no" will alter the indicators behaviour and only mark a Swing Point if all values within the sensitivity are below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low). As equal highs/lows are not below/above the Swing Point, but at the same level it will not mark the Swing Point.
Options:
You can choose to display Swing Highs and Lows for each symbol individually as well as Common Swing Points, which is the default. If you choose to display different Swing Points at the same time the visual order of importance is the following: common Swing Points > current symbol Swing Points > second symbol Swing Points.
You can also change the symbols and colors that mark the Swing Points or restrict the timeframes that the Indicator works on.
[Stop!Loss] ADR Signal ADR Signal - a technical indicator located in a separate window, which displays by default the 80%-level , as well as the 100%-level of the average daily range (ADR) for the last 10 days and compares it with the current intraday range. The indicator helps not only with the use of a mathematical-statistical method to identify a potential reversal at the moment during intraday trading, but can also serves as an effective assistant in risk management.
👉 Basic mechanics of the indicator
Firstly, this indicator tracks the performance of the standard ATR indicator on the daily chart, in other words, ADR (Average Daily Range).
Important ❗️The ATR (Average True Range) indicator was created by J. Welles Wilder Jr. He first introduced ATR in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems", published in 1978. Wilder developed this indicator to measure market volatility to help traders estimate the range of price movements. This indicator is built into TradingView, more details can be found by link: www.tradingview.com
Like ATR , ADR calculates the average true range for a specified period. In this case, the distance in points from the maximum of each day to its minimum is calculated, after which the arithmetic mean is calculated - this is ADR .
👉 Visualization
ADR Signal is located in a separate window on the chart and has 3 levels:
1) "ADR level" (green line) - the same parameter, the calculations of which are briefly described above. There is 100%-level of ATR on the daily chart (ADR).
2) "Current level" (red line) - this is the current price passage within the day, calculated in points. At the start of a new day, this parameter is reset. Therefore, in the indicator window, this line has sharp drops at the start of a new trading day: "A new trading day - the instrument's power reserve is renewed again".
3) "Signal level" (blue line) - this is an individually customized value that demonstrates a certain part of the ADR parameter.
👉 Inputs
1) - is responsible for the ATR indicator period, the value of which will always be calculated on the daily chart. The default value is "10", that is, ATR is calculated for the last 10 days (not including the current one).
2) - signal level (in %). The default value is "0.8", that is, 80%-level of the ADR parameter (set earlier) is calculated.
👉 Style
1) - by default, this level is colored "blue".
2) - by default, this level is colored "red".
3) - by default, this level is colored "green".
👉 How to use this indicator
Important❗️ The two methods of the use of the ADR Signal indicator described below will be most effective when trading intraday (which is highlighted quite well below), so it is more logical to use the indicator information on time periods H1 and below.
1) Identifying potential reversals during intraday trading:
The ADR Signal indicator can be used as a potential individual reversal strategy.
Important ❗️It should be noted that using it in it without additional confirming analysis tools will be a rather aggressive trading approach. Therefore, it is best to support the entry point in particular with other methods.
In this case, the crossing of the red line (the number of points passed within the current day, that is, from the minimum of the current day to its maximum) and the blue line (color of the Signal level based on the default settings), indicates that the trading instrument has passed 80% (based on the default settings for the "Signal level") of its average distance from the maximum to the minimum over the past 10 days (based on the default settings for the "ADR Length"). Such a situation in the context of the mathematical-statistical approach indicates a probable reversal, since the "power reserve" of this instrument is mostly exhausted, so one can expect with a higher probability, at least, a price stop and possibly a reversal. In case of crossing of the red line and the green one (ADR level), it says again that based on the mathematical-statistical approach, this trading instrument has completely exhausted its intraday "power reserve". In this situation, a stop or reversal of the price will be even more likely.
Of course, using the "Signal level" parameter, one can filter out even more reliable situations for potential price reversals within a day, namely, by specifying, for example, 1.5 in the field of this parameter. Under such conditions, in the case of crossing the red and blue lines (based on the default style settings), to say that the trading instrument has passed 150% of its average distance over the last 10 days (based on the default style settings "ADR length"). In this case, the probability of a stop or reversal of the price increases even more.
2) Use in risk management:
In terms of risk management, this indicator is more applicable to open trades. For example, if one had an open Buy-position (especially if it is an intraday trade) and the price has raised significantly during the day, then the crossing of the red line with the blue line , and especially the red line with the green line , may indicate that the price will most likely stop growing, since the "power reserve" is almost or completely exhausted for this instrument within the current day. In this case, one can, at a minimum, move the trade to breakeven or even partially fix the profit.
We will continue to discuss the methods of using this indicator and strategies based on it here. And we are always waiting for your reactions and feedback on this topic 💬.

DRT - OR with Fib Extensions [TraderVlad]Overview
The " DRT - OR " indicator is a versatile tool for intraday traders, designed to highlight the opening range (OR) of a market session based on a user-defined timeframe and start time.
It captures the high and low of the first candle at the specified time (default: 9:00 AM Berlin/Europe time, 30-second timeframe), plots a visual box to mark this range, and adds a 50% midpoint line as a potential pivot level.
This indicator is perfect for traders focusing on key market openings, such as the European session (e.g., for DAX, EUR/USD) or other sessions of your choice.
It’s highly customizable, allowing you to adjust the timeframe, start time, timezone, and visual styles to fit your trading strategy.
How It Works
The indicator operates in a straightforward way to provide clear insights:
Captures the Opening Range:
At the specified start time (default: 9:00 AM Berlin/Europe time), the indicator identifies the first candle in the chosen timeframe (default: 30 seconds).
It records the high (highest price) and low (lowest price) of this candle to define the opening range.
The range size is calculated as High - Low.
Draws the Opening Range Box:
A box is drawn on the chart, starting at the specified time and extending to the next day’s start time (or far into the future for the most recent day).
The top of the box is the high, and the bottom is the low, visually marking the range.
Plots the 50% Midpoint Line:
A horizontal line is drawn at the 50% level of the range (calculated as (High + Low) / 2).
This line extends alongside the box, helping you identify a potential pivot point within the range.
Weekday-Only Operation:
The indicator only draws ranges on weekdays (Monday to Friday), skipping weekends when markets are typically closed.
Display Limit:
You can control how many days’ worth of ranges are shown (default: 5 days).
Older ranges are automatically removed to keep your chart clean.
Trading Applications
The opening range often sets the tone for the trading session.
Here’s how to use this indicator:
Identify Key Levels:
The top and bottom of the box (high and low) can act as support and resistance levels.
A breakout above the high or below the low may indicate a directional move.
Use the 50% Midpoint:
The midpoint line can serve as a pivot point within the range.
Price may find support or resistance at this level before breaking out.
Analyze Range Size:
The label shows the range size, helping you gauge volatility at the open.
A larger range suggests higher volatility, while a smaller range indicates a quieter start.
Flexible Application:
Use the indicator for any market session by adjusting the timezone and start time (e.g., 9:30 AM New York for US markets).
Combine with other indicators (e.g., volume, RSI) to confirm trades based on the opening range.
This indicator is part of the DRT (Dynamic Range Theory) series by TraderVlad, aimed at helping traders identify critical price levels at key market openings.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome to improve this tool further!
ZenAlgo - RangerThe core of the indicator is the daily range, anchored around the 1-minute timeframe VWAP (volume-weighted average price), with ±2 standard deviations defining the upper and lower bounds. This range dynamically forms throughout the day and then gets “locked” at 23:59 each day to establish historical reference values.
The indicator calculates this locked VWAP and standard deviation per day, which serves two primary purposes:
Drawing today's real-time evolving range , updated each minute.
Plotting previous daily ranges , based on historical locked VWAPs and standard deviations, providing visual reference boxes on the chart.
This design enables the trader to identify mean-reversion zones and persistent directional biases based on volume-weighted price consensus.
Multiple Standard Deviation Layers
Beyond the ±2.0 deviation bounds, optional lines are available at half-step increments (e.g., ±0.5, ±1.5, ..., ±4.5) and full-step levels beyond ±2.0 (±3.0, ±4.0, ±5.0). These provide a customizable grid to visualize price extremes, tail behavior, or potential breakout zones relative to volume-adjusted price equilibrium.
Users can enable only the levels they need, offering flexibility depending on their strategy (e.g., scalping versus swing trading).
Historical Range Retention
The script stores up to 70 previous daily VWAP + standard deviation values (adjustable). For each, it draws a full range box and standard deviation lines in the past. This historical context helps in understanding how current price interacts with prior days’ balance zones.
These boxes are always drawn from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC , ensuring consistent alignment across instruments and avoiding session-based discrepancies.
Monday Range Reference (Drawn on Tuesdays)
On Tuesdays, the indicator plots the previous Monday's VWAP-based range across the rest of the week. This serves as a persistent contextual anchor for traders watching weekly unfolding behavior. The range is defined identically (VWAP ±2σ) and drawn from Monday 00:00 through the following Monday.
This method assumes Monday often sets the tone or structure for the week, and tracking this level through time may highlight support/resistance confluence or range expansion scenarios.
Each Monday range is extended over 7 days and includes dashed lines at the 25%, 50%, and 75% marks within the range. These midrange markers help traders assess microstructure behaviors (e.g., reversion to median, failure to hold midpoint, etc.).
Daily Volume Delta via 4H Candles
The indicator also integrates daily buy/sell volume deltas , derived from 4-hour candles of the regular session (non-Heikin Ashi). The logic categorizes volume as:
Buy volume when candle closes above the previous close.
Sell volume when it closes below.
Even split when the candle closes flat.
These volumes accumulate each day to derive net delta (buy - sell). This delta is recorded for each day and can optionally be displayed. A similar process tracks the delta for each Monday range on an ongoing basis.
This information quantifies the market’s aggressive buying vs. selling , correlating with price positions inside or outside the VWAP ranges. A strong delta in one direction may justify a price sustaining above/below VWAP, or diverging from the previous range.
Interpretation and Best Usage Practices
VWAP±2σ Range : Considered a high-probability area for consolidation or reversal. Mean-reverting strategies can benefit from signals within this area.
VWAP±3.0 and beyond : Extreme deviations may signal exhaustion or breakout potential, but are less frequent.
Previous Range Overlap : Overlap of today’s price with past VWAP zones may indicate support/resistance zones.
Monday Range on Tuesday : Persistent levels where the week may repeatedly pivot. Best used on instruments that exhibit weekly cyclical behavior (e.g., indices, forex).
Delta Behavior : Sharp positive or negative delta combined with price outside VWAP bands may suggest initiative participation and potential trend continuation.
Added Value Over Free Alternatives
While many free VWAP tools exist, this script differs in several specific and factual ways:
Anchored 1-minute VWAP lock at a consistent daily timestamp (23:59 UTC), enabling historical analysis.
Historical storage of previous VWAP ranges , with adjustable memory depth and visual continuity.
Flexible standard deviation plotting , down to 0.5 increments, tailored to the user's strategy needs.
Dedicated Monday range analysis , not common in freely available scripts.
Volume delta tracking per day and per Monday range , offering a directional volume view unavailable in standard VWAP implementations.
Persistent and visual interpretation framework using extended boxes and dashed lines for easier contextual navigation.
Each of these additions increases the script’s utility for methodical traders relying on volume-weighted statistics, without requiring additional configuration or external calculations.
Limitations and Disclaimers
VWAP based on 1-minute resolution : The indicator uses minute-level data to calculate daily VWAP and standard deviation. This offers high fidelity on liquid instruments but may produce noisy or unreliable levels on illiquid assets or during periods of low volume. For example, microcap stocks or thinly traded altcoins might not yield stable VWAP centers.
Inferred buy/sell volume : Volume delta is estimated using price movement from one candle to the next (close-to-close logic), rather than actual trade-level aggressor data (which is not accessible via TradingView). This approximation may misclassify volume in choppy or low-volatility environments, especially in assets where price changes do not correlate well with order flow (e.g., crypto during low-volume weekends).
Non-continuous markets and price gaps : For assets that do not trade continuously (e.g., stocks, futures), the VWAP calculation starts fresh every day at 00:00 UTC, regardless of the instrument’s official session start. As a result:
Pre-market/post-market trades may be included in VWAP when analyzing equities, even though they are often excluded in professional VWAP tools.
Opening gaps in equities and futures may distort early VWAP values due to lack of volume context, especially if the previous day's session was already closed when new data begins accumulating.
Weekend gaps in crypto, although less frequent due to 24/7 trading, can still influence delta accumulation if abrupt moves happen during low liquidity periods.
Daily session alignment : The VWAP anchoring and box drawing uses 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC windows. For instruments with different official session timings (e.g., US equities, CME futures), this may cause mismatches between expected session VWAPs and the ones shown in this script.
Conclusion
The ZenAlgo – Ranger script offers a systematic visualization of volume-adjusted price behavior, combining statistical VWAP ranges with volume delta overlays. By integrating daily and weekly reference zones, this tool supports structured decision-making in various market environments, particularly for traders prioritizing mean reversion, range expansion, or trend confirmation.

Horizontal Price TableOverview:
This script displays a dynamic price table on your chart, showing real-time prices and daily percentage changes for up to 7 user-defined tickers. You can customize both which tickers are shown and how many are visible, all through the settings panel.
How it works (Step-by-Step):
User-Defined Tickers:
The script provides input fields for up to 7 tickers using input.symbol(). You can track stocks, indexes, ETFs, crypto, or futures — anything supported by TradingView.
Choose How Many to Display:
An additional dropdown lets you choose how many of the 7 tickers to actually display (between 1 and 7). This gives you control over screen space and focus.
Market Data Fetching:
For each displayed ticker, the script fetches:
The current day’s closing price (close)
The previous day’s closing price (close )
This data is pulled using request.security() on the daily timeframe (1D).
% Change Calculation:
The script calculates the daily percentage change using:
(Current Price−Previous Close)/Previous Close×100(Current Price−Previous Close)/Previous Close×100
Cleaned Ticker Names:
Ticker symbols often include an exchange prefix like NASDAQ:AAPL. The script automatically removes anything before the colon (:), so only the clean symbol (e.g., AAPL) is shown in the table.
Table Display:
A visual table appears at the top-center of your chart, showing:
Row 1: Ticker symbol (cleaned)
Row 2: Current price (rounded to 2 decimals)
Row 3: Daily % change (green for gains, red for losses)
Customization:
You can choose the background color of the table.
Ticker names appear in white text with a gray background.
% change is color-coded: green for positive, red for negative.
Why Use This Script?
Track multiple tickers at once without leaving your chart.
Clean, customizable layout.
Useful for monitoring watchlists, portfolios, or related markets.
Tips:
Combine this with your favorite indicators for a personalized dashboard.
Works great on any chart or timeframe.
Ensure the tickers entered are valid on TradingView (e.g., SPY, BTCUSD, NQ1!, etc.).

10K's 4Levels for CME10K’s 4Levels for CME｜A Navigation Tool for Market Opening Structure
This is a TradingView visual tool designed for CME index futures traders, helping you grasp the structural foundation and potential market direction before the New York session begins.
It consists of four key price levels:
ETH High & Low
The highest and lowest prices during the full electronic trading session (starting at 6:00 PM the previous day), representing the full range of market positioning before the U.S. equity market opens.
ETH Open (Daily Candle Open)
The opening price at the start of the ETH session, which marks the beginning of the futures daily candle. This price reflects the first valuation by market participants, especially market makers.
RTH Open (New York Open)
The opening price of the regular trading session, aligning with the U.S. cash market open.
This price is the starting point of my trading session and determines half the shape of the day’s futures daily candle.
Tool Function & Purpose
The 4Levels indicator is not a prediction tool or signal generator—it's a scene-setting mechanism for your daily price playbook. With these four levels, you can:
Distinguish between pre-market sentiment and actual post-open price movements.
Clearly identify the starting point of your trading narrative, avoiding misguidance from early session noise.
Combine with daily and 465K charts to imagine possible intraday structures and narrative paths.
Use it alongside 30K for entry timing and price positioning, then fine-tune entries with 3K or 5K charts.
Recommended Use
This tool is ideal for intraday traders who focus on the first 1–3 hours after the New York open. If your trading approach is built around structure rather than signals, if you care about the relationship between opening prices and subsequent movement, and if you value rhythm and behavior over predictions—then this tool provides a clean, logical, and intuitive framework.

Adaptive Support & Resistance Levels [StabTrading]The Adaptive S&R Levels indicator is designed to study support and resistance levels by synthesizing multiple well-known techniques for identifying these zones. It aims to provide traders with reliable price levels that reflect the collective perspective of market participants, using historical price action and projective techniques for extreme conditions.
💡 Introduction: Identified Problem
Traders often draw support and resistance lines using varied methods, leading to inconsistencies in where these levels are placed on charts. This variability can reduce the effectiveness of individual levels, as price may not react strongly to zones that lack broad recognition. The Adaptive S&R Levels indicator addresses this by aggressively averaging multiple established techniques to create support and resistance lines that align with what most traders are likely to identify, increasing the probability of price reactions.
🚀 How it Works: Overview
The indicator employs a multi-technique algorithm to generate support and resistance levels, ensuring they represent a consensus of trader perspectives.
🚀 How it Works: Chart Levels Display and Styling
Support levels, displayed in green below the current price, and resistance levels, shown in red above the price, are plotted clearly on the chart. Levels are numbered sequentially (e.g., v1, v2) as they move further from the current price, providing a visual hierarchy of proximity. Extreme levels, labeled as "Extreme Support" or "Extreme Resistance," are plotted in a bolder color to distinguish them as the outermost boundaries, maintaining the same green (support) and red (resistance) color scheme for consistency.
🚀 How it Works: Historical Price Action Algorithm
For areas with available historical data, the algorithm analyzes price action using a variety of recognized methods for drawing support and resistance, such as pivot points, swing highs/lows, and volume-based zones. It calculates a weighted average of these techniques to produce a “regression fit” line that reflects the accumulation of levels traders might draw. By prioritizing areas where multiple methods converge, the indicator identifies zones likely to be significant to a wide audience, enhancing their relevance.
🚀 How it Works: Projective Techniques Algorithm
In scenarios without recent historical price action—such as all-time highs or lows—the indicator employs an alternative algorithm that combines projective techniques commonly used by traders. These include Fibonacci extensions, Measured Moves (price projections), Psychological Milestones (e.g., round numbers), Channel/Trendline Extrapolation, and Time-Based Targets (inspired by methods like Gann techniques). The algorithm seeks a confluence of these methods to draw support and resistance levels that align with what most traders would consider significant in such conditions. These levels maintain the same green (support) and red (resistance) color scheme, with numbering based on their distance from the price.
🚀 How it Works: Noise Parameter Adjustment
Users can adjust a noise parameter to control the number of displayed levels. Lower settings show more lines, reflecting a broader range of potential zones but with less confluence. Higher settings increase the required confluence of techniques, resulting in fewer lines that have a higher probability of eliciting a price reaction. This customization allows traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred timeframe or trading style.
🔥 Features
Confluence-Based Levels: Support and resistance lines are derived from a weighted average of multiple techniques, aiming to mirror the levels most traders would recognize.
Extreme Levels: Generates support and resistance in areas without historical price action, using techniques like Fibonacci extensions and Measured Moves.
Color-Coded Display: Green support levels appear below the current price, and red resistance levels appear above, with extreme levels in a bolder shade for distinction.
Adjustable Noise Parameter: Users can modify the confluence threshold to display more lines (lower settings) or fewer, higher-probability lines (higher settings).
📈 Implementing the System
1. Adjust Settings
Set the noise parameter based on your trading style (0.1 to 10).
Use lower values for more frequent levels, suitable for scalping or short-term analysis.
Use higher values for fewer, higher-confluence levels, ideal for swing trading or longer-term strategies.
Adjust for your timeframe: Settings tend to be lower on shorter timeframes and higher on longer timeframes.
2. Identify Levels
Monitor green support levels below the price for potential buying zones, noting their numbered proximity (v1, v2, etc.).
Observe red resistance levels above the price for potential selling or shorting zones, noting their numbered proximity.
Note extreme levels (labeled "Extreme Support" or "Extreme Resistance") in areas like all-time highs, which may act as key reversal points.
3. Evaluate Price Reactions
Track how price interacts with the plotted levels to assess their effectiveness, considering their proximity to price.
Observe performance in bullish, bearish, or ranging markets to understand the indicator’s behavior at different levels.
Test different noise parameter settings across various assets and timeframes to find the optimal balance for your approach.
4. Layering Trades with Levels
Use the numbered levels to layer into a trade: for example, enter a partial position at a closer support level (e.g., v1) and add to it at a further level (e.g., v2) if price continues to decline, spreading risk across multiple zones.
Layer out of a trade by taking partial profits at each resistance level as price rises (e.g., reduce position at v1, then v2), or fully exit at an "Extreme Resistance" level to maximize gains while managing exposure.
🔶 Conclusion
The Adaptive S&R Levels indicator provides a framework for studying support and resistance by averaging multiple trader-recognized techniques. With its ability to handle both historical and extreme price scenarios, numbered levels for visual hierarchy, and customizable noise settings, it offers a versatile tool for analyzing key price levels. Designed for educational use, it encourages traders to test and observe how these consensus-driven levels align with market behavior within broader analysis.
