Opening-Range BreakoutNote: Default trading date range looks mediocre. Set date range to "Entire History" to see full effect of the strategy. 50.91% profitable trades, 1.178 profit factor, steady profits and limited drawdown. Total P&L: $154,141.18, Max Drawdown: $18,624.36. High R^2
█ Overview
The Opening-Range Breakout strategy is a mechanical, session‑based day‑trading system designed to capture the initial burst of directional momentum immediately following the market open. It defines a user‑configurable “opening range” window, measures its high and low boundaries, then places breakout stop orders at those levels once the range closes. Built‑in filters on minimum range width, reward‑to‑risk ratios, and optional reversal logic help refine entries and manage risk dynamically.
█ How It Works
Opening‑Range Formation
Between 9:30–10:15 AM ET (configurable), the script tracks the highest high and lowest low to form the day’s opening range box.
On the first bar after the range window closes, the range high (OR_high) and low (OR_low) are “locked in.”
Range‑Width Filter
To avoid false breakouts in low‑volatility mornings, the range must be at least X% of the current price (default 0.35%).
If the measured opening-range width < minimum threshold, no orders are placed that day.
Entry & Order Placement
Long: a stop‑buy order at the opening‑range high.
Short: a stop‑sell order at the opening‑range low.
Only one side can trigger (or both if reverse logic is enabled after a losing trade).
Risk Management
Once triggered, each trade uses an ATR‑style stop-loss defined as a percentage retracement of the range (default 50% of range width).
Profit target is set at a configurable Reward/Risk Ratio (default 1.1×).
Optional: Reverse on Stop‑Loss – if the initial breakout loses, immediately reverse into the opposite side on the same day.
Session Exit
Any open positions are closed at the end of the regular trading day (default 3:45 PM ET window end, with hard flat at session close).
Visual cues are provided via green (range high) and red (range low) step‑line plots directly on the chart, allowing you to see the range box and breakout triggers in real time.
█ Why It Works
Early Momentum Capture: The first 15 – 60 minutes of trading encapsulate overnight news digestion and institutional order flow, creating a well‑defined volatility “range.”
Mechanical Discipline: Clear, rule‑based entries and exits remove emotional guesswork, ensuring consistency.
Volatility Filtering: By requiring a minimum range width, the system avoids choppy, low‑range days where false breakouts are common.
Dynamic Sizing: Stops and targets scale with the opening range, adapting automatically to each day’s volatility environment.
█ How to Use
Set Your Instruments & Timeframe
-Apply to any futures contract on a 1‑ to 5‑minute chart.
-Ensure chart timezone is set to America/New_York.
Configure Inputs

Metals:Backwardation/ContangoMETALS: Gold , Silver , Copper ( GC , SI, HG)
Quickly visualize carrying charge market vs backwardized market by comparing the price of the next 2 years of futures contracts.
Carrying charge (contract prices increasing into the future) = normal, representing the costs of carrying/storage of a commodity. When this is flipped to Backwardation (contract prices decreasing into the future): its a bullish sign: Buyers want this commodity, and they want it NOW.
Note: indicator does not map to time axis in the same way as price; it simply plots the progression of contract months out into the future; left to right; so timeframe DOESN'T MATTER for this plot
There's likely some more efficient way to write this; e.g. when plotting for Gold ( GC ); 21 of the security requests are redundant; but they are still made; and can make this slower to load
TO UPDATE(once a year will do): in REQUEST CONTRACTS section, delete old contracts (top) and add new ones (bottom). Then in PLOTTING section, Delete old contract labels (bottom); add new contract labels (top); adjust the X in 'bar_index-(X+_historical)' numbers accordingly
This is one of three similar indicators: Meats | Metals | Grains
-If you want to build from this; to work on other commodities ; be aware that Tradingview limits the number of contract calls to 40 (hence the 3 seperate indicators)
Tips:
-Right click and reset chart if you can't see the plot; or if you have trouble with the scaling.
-Right click and add to new scale if you prefer this not to overlay directly on price. Or move to new pane below.

Settlement priceThis script is meant to be used intraday, on futures products.
It charts the previous day/week/month settlement price as a constant level intraday.
The settlement price of a product is calculated by the exchange at the end of each day. It is shown in the D/W/M chart as the close price. The settlement price does not coincide with the last close price intraday, thus creating the need of a script like this.
The settlement price can be a pivotal price in intraday futures trading, as it can act as support or resistance
You can select the resolution of the settlement by the "Resolution" input
Cumulative Intraday Volume with Long/Short LabelsThis indicator calculates a running total of volume for each trading day, then shows on the price chart when that total crosses levels you choose. Every day at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, the total goes back to zero so it always reflects only the current day’s activity. From that moment on, each time a new candle appears the indicator looks at whether the candle closed higher than it opened or lower. If it closed higher, the candle’s volume is added to the running total; if it closed lower, the same volume amount is subtracted. As a result, the total becomes positive when buyers have dominated so far today and negative when sellers have dominated.
Because futures markets close at 6 PM ET, the running total resets exactly then, mirroring the way most intraday traders think in terms of a single session. Throughout the day, you will see this running total move up or down according to whether more volume is happening on green or red candles. Once the total goes above a number you specify (for example, one hundred thousand contracts), the indicator will place a small “Long” label at that candle on the main price chart to let you know buying pressure has reached that level. Similarly, once the total goes below a negative number you choose (for example, minus one hundred thousand), a “Short” label will appear at that candle to signal that selling pressure has reached your chosen threshold. You can set these threshold numbers to whatever makes sense for your trading style or the market you follow.
Because raw volume alone never turns negative, this design uses candle direction as a sign. Green candles (where the close is higher than the open) add volume, and red candles (where the close is lower than the open) subtract volume. Summing those signed volume values tells you in a single number whether buying or selling has been stronger so far today. That number resets every evening, so it does not carry over any buying or selling from previous sessions.
Once you have this indicator on your chart, you simply watch the “summed volume” line as it moves throughout the day. If it climbs past your long threshold, you know buyers are firmly in control and a long entry might make sense. If it falls past your short threshold, you know sellers are firmly in control and a short entry might make sense. In quieter markets or times of low volume, you might use a smaller threshold so that even modest buying or selling pressure will trigger a label. During very active periods, a larger threshold will prevent too many signals when volume spikes frequently.
This approach is straightforward but can be surprisingly powerful. It does not rely on complex formulas or hidden statistical measures. Instead, it simply adds and subtracts daily volume based on candle color, then alerts you when that total reaches levels you care about. Over several years of historical testing, this formula has shown an ability to highlight moments when intraday sentiment shifts decisively from buyers to sellers or vice versa. Because the indicator resets every day at 6 PM, it always reflects only today’s sentiment and remains easy to interpret without carrying over past data. You can use it on any intraday timeframe, but it works especially well on five-minute or fifteen-minute charts for futures contracts.
If you want a clear gauge of whether buyers or sellers are dominating in real time, and you prefer a rule-based method rather than a complex model, this indicator gives you exactly that. It shows net buying or selling pressure at a glance, resets each session like most intraday traders do, and marks the moments when that pressure crosses the levels you decide are important. By combining a daily reset with signed volume, you get a single number that tells you precisely what the crowd is doing at any given moment, without any of the guesswork or hidden calculations that more complicated indicators often carry.

Failed Breakdown Detection'Failed Breakdowns' are a popular set up for long entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant low is made ('initial low')
2) Initial low is undercut with a new low
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial low by moving +8-10 points from the initial low
This script aims at detecting such set ups. It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
Business Logic:
1) Uses pivot lows to detect 'significant' initial lows
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new low beneath the initial low; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a green candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new low
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial low value (pivot low) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBD Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot low detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New lows are plotted on the chart with a blue triangle
Notes:
User input
- My preference is to use the defaults as is, but as always feel free to experiment
- Can modify pivot length but in my experience 10/10 work best for pivot lows
- New low detection - 55 bars and 0.05 amplitude work well based on visual checks of signals
- Can modify the number of points needed to reclaim a low, and the # of bars limit under which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new lows and detection of failed breakdowns
- Alerts are also available for these signals but only during 7:30PM-4PM EST - 'prime time' US trading hours
Limitations:
- Current version of the script only compares new lows to the most recent pivot low, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal

Think of it as your personal volatility sidekick, ready to help you navigate market uncertainty like a pro!
***
### ✨ What's Inside?
* **VWATR (Volume-Weighted ATR):** A super-smart measure of price movement that pays close attention to where the big money is flowing.
* **VIX (The "Fear Gauge"):** Tracks the expected volatility of the S&P 500, essentially telling you how nervous the market is feeling.
* **VVIX (The "VIX of VIX"):** This one's for the pros! It measures how volatile the VIX itself is, giving you an early heads-up on potential fear spikes.
* **VX Term Structure:** A clever way to see if traders are preparing for a crisis. It compares the two nearest VIX futures to spot a rare signal called "backwardation."
* **Z-Scores:** It helps you spot when VIX and VVIX are at historic highs or lows, making it easier to predict when things might return to normal.
* **Divergence Score:** A unique tool to flag potential market shifts when the VIX and VVIX start moving in completely different directions.
* **Regime Classification:** The script automatically labels the market as "Full Panic," "Known Crisis," "Surface Calm," "Stress," or "Normal," so you always know where you stand.
* **Gradient Bars:** A visual treat! The background of your chart changes color to reflect real-time volatility shifts, giving you an instant feel for the market's mood.
* **Alerts:** Get push notifications on your phone for key events like "Full Panic" or "Backwardation" so you never miss a beat.

### 📝 Panel/Table Outputs
This is your mission control! The on-screen table gives you a clean summary of the current market regime, VIX and VVIX values, their ratios, term structure, Z-scores, and signals. Everything you need, right where you can see it.
***
### 🚀 How to Get Started
1. **Check your data:** You'll need access to real-time data for VIX, VVIX, VX1!, and VX2!. A paid subscription might be necessary for this.
2. **Add it to your chart:** Use the indicator on any chart (we've set it to `overlay=false`) to get your full volatility dashboard.
3. **Tweak it to perfection:** Head over to the Settings panel to customize the thresholds, colors, and your all-important "Jolt Value."
4. **Start trading smarter:** Use the dashboard to inform your trades, hedge your portfolio, and manage risk with confidence.
***
### ⚙️ Customization & Key Settings
* `showVWATR`: Toggle your price-volatility metric on or off.
* `showExpectedVol`: See the expected volatility as a percentage of the current price.
* `joltLevel`: This is a very important line on your chart! It's your personal trigger for when volatility is getting a little too wild. More on this below.
* `enableGradientBars`: Turn the awesome colored background on or off.
* `enableTable`: Hide or show your information table.
* `VIX/VVIX/VX1!/VX2! symbols`: If your broker uses different symbols for these, you can change them here.
* `VIX/VVIX thresholds`: Adjust these levels to fine-tune the indicator to your personal risk tolerance.

### 💡 Jolt Value: A Quick Guide for Smart Traders 🧠
The **jolt value** is your personal tripwire for volatility. Think of it as a warning light on your car's dashboard. You set the level, and when volatility (VWATR) crosses that line, you get an instant signal that something interesting is happening.
**How to Set Your Jolt Value:**
The ideal jolt value is dynamic. You want to keep it just a little above the current VIX level to stay alert without getting too many false alarms.
| Current VIX Level | Market Regime | Recommended Jolt Value |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Under 15 | Calm/Complacent | 15–16 |
| 15–20 | Typical/Normal | 16–18 |
| 20–30 | Cautious/Active | 18–22 |
| Over 30 | Stress/Panic | 30+ |
**A Pro Tip for August 2025:** Since the VIX is hovering around 14.7, setting your jolt value to **16.5** is a great starting point for keeping an eye on things. If the VIX starts to climb above 20, you should adjust your jolt level to match the new reality.
***
### ⚠️ Important Things to Note
* You might experience some data delays if you're not on a paid TradingView plan or your broker does not provide real-time data for the VIX also VIX is only active during NY session, so it's not advised to use it outside of normal trading hours!
EMA Trend Dashboard
Trend Indicator using 3 custom EMA lines. Displays a table with 5 rows(position configurable)
-First line shows relative position of EMA lines to each other and outputs Bull, Weak Bull, Flat, Weak Bear, or Bear. EMA line1 should be less than EMA line2 and EMA line 2 should be less than EMA line3. Default is 9,21,50.
-Second through fourth line shows the slant of each EMA line. Up, Down, or Flat. Threshold for what is considered a slant is configurable. Also added a "steep" threshold configuration for steep slants.
-Fifth line shows exhaustion and is a simple, configurable calculation of the distance between EMA line1 and EMA line2.
--Lines one and five change depending on its value but ALL other colors are able to be changed.
--Default is somewhat set to work well with Micro E-mini Futures but this indicator can be changed to work on anything. I created it to help get a quick overview of short-term trend on futures. I used ChatGPT to help but I am still not sure if it actually took longer because of it.
Fed Fund Futures Custom AverageThis indicator helps traders track the expected average interest rate for the upcoming 12 months based on Fed Fund Futures. It calculates the average price of the next 12 monthly futures contracts and also shows the spread against the 1-Year US Treasury yield (US01Y). This can be useful for understanding market expectations regarding interest rate changes and identifying trading opportunities related to interest rate movements.
Arbitrage B3's IBOV FuturesThis indicator was made to calculate and show the spread between the B3's Ibovespa Futures and B3's Ibovespa Index increased by the Interest until the contract expiration date.
The orange line "Arbitrage" is the spread.
Inputs:
Annual Interest Rate (%) -> Interest Rate that you want to be used to calculate the Interest of B3's IBOV Index.
Working Days Until Contract Expires -> How many business days you have between your actual date and the expiration date of the Futures.
Recommended TimeFrame to evaluate the "Arbitrage": 1 MIN
Future Risk CalculatorCreated out of revenge against the difficulty of controlling psychology, greed, and risk management. Designed for cryptocurrency futures trading by following the risk management principles from Kevin Sailly. Very welcome if there are suggestions and input to improve the quality of this "indicator". Please use wisely.
How to use:
1. Open indicator settings.
2. Fill out all the forms. (Note: I make Max Loss Risk only has 5 options. Because, you know, to control the greed. You can choose by considering your risk profiles and market condition)
3. All of the information and calculation will appear on the label (right side of the bar chart) and top-right box.
4. You can adjust the three prices (target, entry, and stop) by clicking any part of the indicator. There will be three dots in the middle of the chart window (align with three prices). Click that dots and drag them up/down to customize according to your wishes. The price order must be correct, for LONG direction the price order from the top is target-entry-stop. Vice versa for SHORT direction. There will be "SETUP ERROR" text in the top-right box if the price order is not correct.

Stock trending strategy This is a long only strategy designed maily for stock markets and futures. In general it works best with 1h, however it can be optimized with other timeframes as well.
Components:
VWAP
MACD histogram
EMA 9
Rules for entry
Long :
For VWAP: close is above the vwap daily
EMA: close is above the moving average
MACD histogram is above 0
Short:
For VWAP: close is belowthe vwap daily
EMA: close is below the moving average
MACD histogram is below 0
Rules for exit
This strategy does not have any risk management inside. Instead it exits whenver it receives an opposite signal form the original one used for entry.

VIX Implied Move Bands for ES/Emini futuresThis script uses the close of the VIX on a daily resolution to provide the 'implied move' for the E-mini SP500 futures. While it can be applied to any equity index, it's crucial to know that the VIX is calculated using SPX options, and may not reflect the implied volatility of other indices. The user can adjust the length of the moving average used to calculate the bands, the window of days used to calculate the implied move, and the multiplier that effects the width of the bands.
Equity Index Extended HoursHighlights the extended hours/Globex session for US Equity Index Futures.
Bitmex BTC Backwardation / ContangoThis indicator calculates difference between price of Bitmex's XBTUSD, and Bitmex's two nearest futures.
If the difference is negative, then it is backwardation.
If the difference is positive, then it is contango.
This script will be updated every about 3 months, when the nearest Bitmex future will be expired.
This is an updated script of , with better description.

ELHAI Futures Trend Checker (ES, NQ, YM)The ELHAI Futures Trend Checker is a powerful TradingView indicator designed for futures traders who want to monitor the trend synchronization of the three major U.S. futures indices:
✅ E-mini S&P 500 (ES1!)
✅ E-mini Nasdaq 100 (NQ1!)
✅ E-mini Dow Jones (YM1!)
This indicator checks whether all three futures indices are bullish or bearish during each candle formation. If one of them is out of sync (e.g., two indices are bullish while one is bearish), the indicator triggers an alert and highlights the background in red, helping traders identify potential market indecision or divergence.
Key Features
📌 Designed for Futures Traders – Focuses on ES, NQ, and YM futures contracts.
📌 Live Market Monitoring – Works in real-time and updates dynamically with each tick.
📌 Bullish/Bearish Trend Confirmation – Detects when all three indices are in sync.
📌 Mismatch Detection – Alerts you when at least one index is out of trend.
📌 Custom Alerts – Set up TradingView alerts to be notified instantly when a trend mismatch occurs.
📌 Visual Background Highlight – A red background warns of a market divergence.
How It Works
The script retrieves open and close prices for ES, NQ, and YM.
Determines whether each futures index is bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open).
If all three indices are bullish or all are bearish, it remains neutral.
If one index is different, an alert is triggered and the background turns red.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Choose any timeframe – Works well on intraday, daily, or higher timeframes.
Enable alerts: Go to Alerts → Create Alert, select "Futures Trend Mismatch", and set your preferred alert frequency.
Use alongside other indicators like moving averages, RSI, or MACD for better trade confirmation.
Best Use Cases
✔ Day traders & scalpers – Quickly spot market divergence in live trading.
✔ Swing traders – Identify when futures markets lose synchronization.
✔ Trend followers – Confirm if all major futures markets are aligned before making a move.
Final Notes
This indicator was built for Elhai to provide real-time trend analysis across major U.S. futures indices. Use it as a confirmation tool to improve market timing and decision-making.

Annualized Spot-Future DifferenceThe "Annualized Spot-Future Difference" indicator (ASFD) compares the closing prices of a futures contract and its underlying spot asset. It calculates the price difference between the two instruments and annualizes this difference to provide a standardized measure for comparison.
The indicator takes inputs for the futures ticker symbol and the spot ticker symbol, allowing flexibility in selecting the specific assets for analysis. Additionally, it allows the user to input the contract date, which represents the expiration date of the futures contract.
The ASFD indicator plots the annualized difference between the futures and spot prices. It calculates the price difference by subtracting the spot price from the futures price. To annualize this difference, it considers the remaining days to the contract expiration and scales the difference accordingly.
The annualized difference can provide insights into market expectations, as it reflects the market's perception of the future price movement of the underlying asset. A positive value indicates that the futures price is higher than the spot price, potentially suggesting bullish sentiment. Conversely, a negative value suggests bearish sentiment, with the futures price lower than the spot price.
Traders and analysts can utilize the ASFD indicator to identify potential opportunities for arbitrage or evaluate market sentiment regarding the underlying asset. By monitoring changes in the annualized difference over time, they can gain insights into market dynamics and make informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that the ASFD indicator relies on accurate and up-to-date pricing data for both the futures and spot assets. Traders should verify that the selected ticker symbols correspond to the desired instruments and ensure that the contract date aligns with the relevant futures contract expiration.
Overall, the ASFD indicator provides a quantitative measure of the annualized price difference between futures and spot assets, enabling traders and analysts to assess market expectations and identify potential trading opportunities.
ATR Risk Display - Multi FuturesWhat This Does
I got tired of manually calculating my ATR stops and risk for different futures contracts, especially when switching between ES, NQ, and their micro versions. This indicator automatically detects what futures symbol you're trading and shows you the exact tick count and dollar risk for your stop loss.
The Problem It Solves
If you trade futures with ATR-based stops, you know the hassle:
Different contracts have different tick values
You need to calculate position risk in dollars
Switching between symbols means redoing all the math
Renko charts make it even more confusing since ATR needs to come from regular candles
This handles all of that automatically.
Key Features
Auto-detects futures symbols - ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, and all the micros (MES, MNQ, etc.)
Shows everything you need in one line: ATR(timeframe) × multiplier = X ticks ($XXX)
Works on Renko charts - pulls ATR from regular timeframe charts (super important if you use Renko)
Adjustable position sizing - set your contract count and see total risk instantly
Clean, minimal display - just the info you need, no clutter
How to Use
Add it to any futures chart
Set your preferred ATR timeframe (I use 5-minute)
Set your ATR multiplier (I use 1.5x for my stops)
Set your contract size
That's it - the indicator handles the rest
The display will show something like: "ES ATR(5) × 1.5 = 12 ticks ($150)"
Settings Explained
ATR Timeframe: What timeframe to calculate ATR from (always uses regular candles, even on Renko)
ATR Multiplier: How many ATRs for your stop (1.5 is common, 2.0 for wider stops)
Number of Contracts: Your position size for risk calculation
Auto-Detect Symbol: Leave on unless you want to manually override
Supported Futures
Full size: ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, ZB, ZN, 6E, 6J
Micros: MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL
Notes
Made this primarily for my own ES trading but figured others might find it useful
The tick values are based on standard CME specs
If you trade other futures, you can modify the code to add them
Works great alongside level indicators for risk management
Why This Exists
I use ATR trailing stops on all my trades and got tired of doing mental math every time I switched between charts or contracts. Especially useful if you trade both full-size and micro contracts - the risk difference is huge and easy to mess up.
Hope this helps your trading! Feel free to suggest improvements.
