ADR/ATR Ranges & DashboardADR/ATR Ranges & Dashboard
Description:
The ADR/ATR Ranges & Dashboard indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to visualize key market volatility levels and provide traders with a clear daily framework. This script combines Average Daily Range (ADR) and Average True Range (ATR) metrics across multiple timeframes to assist in defining realistic intraday price targets and stop levels.
Key Features:
ADR Levels (Upper/Lower) plotted automatically based on a customizable period.
Daily High/Low and Previous Day High/Low plotted for context and range awareness.
Custom Range High/Low: Define your own time range to track session-specific extremes.
Dashboard Panel summarizing ADR values, distances to key levels, and custom range data.
Multi-timeframe ATR Dashboard (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4, D1) for detailed volatility insight.
Fully customizable colors and line styles (via the Style tab).
Adjustable dashboard font size and position.
How ADR differs from ATR:
ADR calculates the average difference between daily highs and lows over a set number of days — showing how much price typically moves per day.
ATR measures the average range (including gaps) within a given timeframe — providing a more comprehensive view of volatility.
Ideal for:
Day traders, scalpers, and swing traders needing clear intraday structure.
Volatility-based trading strategies (range breakouts, mean reversion, etc.).
Identifying realistic take-profit and stop-loss zones based on historical price behavior.

Camarilla Pivot Plays█ OVERVIEW
This indicator implements the Camarilla Pivot Points levels and a system for suggesting particular plays. It only calculates and shows the 3rd, 4th, and 6th levels, as these are the only ones used by the system. In total, there are 12 possible plays, grouped into two groups of six. The algorithm constantly evaluates conditions for entering and exiting the plays and indicates them in real time, also triggering user-configurable alerts.
█ CREDITS
The Camarilla pivot plays are defined in a strategy developed by Thor Young, and the whole system is explained in his book "A Complete Day Trading System" . The indicator is published with his permission, and he is a user of it. The book is not necessary in order to understand and use the indicator; this description contains sufficient information to use it effectively.
█ FEATURES
Automatically draws plays, suggesting an entry, stop-loss, and maximum target
User can set alerts on chosen ticker to call these plays, even when not currently viewing them
Highly configurable via many options
Works for US/European stocks and US futures (at least)
Works correctly on both RTH and ETH charts
Automatically switches between RTH and ETH data
Optionally also shows the "other" set of pivots (RTH vs ETH data)
Configurable behaviour in the pre-market, not active in the post-market
Configurable sensitivity of the play detection algorithm
Can also show weekly and monthly Camarilla pivots
Well-documented options tooltips
Sensible defaults which are suitable for immediate use
Well-documented and high-quality open-source code for those who are interested
█ HOW TO USE
The defaults work well; at a minimum, just add the indicator and watch the plays being called. To avoid having to watch securities, by selecting the three dots next to the indicator name, you can set an alert on the indicator and choose to be alerted on play entry or exit events—or both. The following diagram shows several plays activated in the past (with the "Show past plays" option selected).
By default, the indicator draws plays 5 days back; this can be changed up to 20 days. The labels can be shifted left/right using the "label offset" option to avoid overlapping with other labels in this indicator or those of another indicator.
An information box at the top-right of the chart shows:
The data currently in use for the main pivots. This can switch in the pre-market if the H/L range exceeds the previous day's H/L, and if it does, you will see that switch at the time that it happens
Whether the current day's pivots are in a higher or lower range compared to the previous day's. This is based on the RTH close, so large moves in the post-market won't be reflected (there is an advanced option to change this)
The width of the value relationship in the current day compared to the previous day
The currently active play. If multiple plays are active in parallel, only the last activated one is shown
The resistance pivots are all drawn in the same colour (red by default), as are the support pivots (green by default). You can change the resistance and support colours, but it is not possible to have different colours for different levels of the same kind. Plays will always use the correct colour, drawing over the pivots. For example, R4 is red by default, but if a play treats R4 as a support, then the play will draw a green line (by default) over the red R4 line, thereby hiding it while the play is active.
There are a few advanced parameters; leave these as default unless you really know what they do. Please note the script is complicated—it does a lot. You might need to wait a few seconds while it (re)calculates on new tickers or when changing options. Give it time when first loading or changing options!
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is focused around daily Camarilla pivots and implements 12 possible plays: 6 when in a higher range, 6 when in a lower range. The plays are labelled by two letters—the first indicates the range, the second indicates the play—as shown in this diagram:
The pivots can be calculated using only RTH (Regular Trading Hours) data, or ETH (Extended Trading Hours) data, which includes the pre-market and post-market. The indicator implements logic to automatically choose the correct data, based on the rules defined by the strategy. This is user-overridable. With the default options, ETH will be used when the H/L range in the previous day's post-market or current day's pre-market exceeds that of the previous day's regular market. In auto mode, the chosen pivots are considered the main pivots for that day and are the ones used for play evaluation. The "other" pivots can also be shown—"other" here meaning using ETH data when the main pivots use RTH data, and vice versa.
When displaying plays in the pre-market, since the RTH open is not yet known (and that value is needed to evaluate play pre-conditions), the pre-market open is used as a proxy for the RTH open. After the regular market opens, the correct RTH open is used to evaluate play conditions.
█ NOTE FOR FUTURES
Futures always use full ETH data in auto mode. Users may, however, wish to use the option "Always use RTH close," which uses the 3 p.m. Central Time (CME/Chicago) as a basis for the close in the pivot calculations (instead of the 4 p.m. actual close).
Futures don't officially have a pre-market or post-market like equities. Let's take ES on CME as an example (CME is in Chicago, so all times are Central Time, i.e., 1 hour behind Eastern Time). It trades from 17:00 Sunday to 16:00 Friday, with a daily pause between 16:00 and 17:00. However, most of the trading activity is done between 08:30 and 15:00 (Central), which you can tell from the volume spikes at those times, and this coincides with NYSE/NASDAQ regular hours (09:30–16:00 Eastern). So we define a pseudo-pre-market from 17:00 the previous day to 08:30 on the current day, then a pseudo-regular market from 08:30 to 15:00, then a pseudo-post-market from 15:00 to 16:00.
The indicator then works exactly the same as with equities—all the options behave the same, just with different session times defined for the pre-, regular, and post-market, with "RTH" meaning just the regular market and "ETH" meaning all three. The only difference from equities is that the auto calculation mode always uses ETH instead of switching based on ETH range compared to RTH range. This is so users who just leave all the defaults are not confused by auto-switching of the calculation mode; normally you'll want the pivots based on all the (ETH) data. However, both "Force RTH" and "Use RTH close with ETH data" work the same as with equities—so if, in the calculations, you really want to only use RTH data, or use all ETH H/L data but use the RTH close (at 15:00), you can.
█ LIMITATIONS
The pivots are very close to those shown in DAS Trader Pro. They are not to-the-cent exact, but within a few cents. The reasons are:
TradingView uses real-time data from CBOE One, so doesn't have access to full exchange data (unless you pay for it in TradingView), and
the close/high/low are taken from the intraday timeframe you are currently viewing, not daily data—which are very close, but often not exactly the same. For example, the high on the daily timeframe may differ slightly from the daily high you'll see on an intraday timeframe.
I have occasionally seen larger than a few cents differences in the pivots between these and DAS Trader Pro—this is always due to differences in data, for example a big spike in the data in TradingView but not in DAS Trader Pro, or vice versa. The more traded the stock is, the less the difference tends to be. Highly traded stocks are usually within a few cents. Less traded stocks may be more (for example, 30¢ difference in R4 is the highest I've seen). If it bothers you, official NYSE/NASDAQ data in TradingView is quite inexpensive (but even that doesn't make the 8am candle identical).
The 6th Camarilla level does not have a standard definition and may not match the level shown on other platforms. It does match the definition used by DAS Trader Pro.
The indicator is an intraday indicator (despite also being able to show weekly and monthly pivots on an intraday chart). It deactivates on a daily timeframe and higher. It is untested on sub-minute timeframes; you may encounter runtime errors on these due to various historical data referencing issues. Also, the play detection algorithm would likely be unpredictable on sub-minute timeframes. Therefore, sub-minute timeframes are formally unsupported.
The indicator was developed and tested for US/European stocks and US futures. It may or may not work as intended for stocks and futures in different locations. It does not work for other security types (e.g., crypto), where I have no evidence that the strategy has any relevance.
SMA PLOTS & ANCHORED VWAP & CONSOLIDATION FINDERHi traders,
SMA Plots, Anchored VWAP & Consolidation Finder
This Pine Script indicator combines multiple technical analysis tools to provide traders with a comprehensive view of price trends, volume-weighted price levels, and consolidation periods. It includes Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) for daily and chart timeframes, an Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with standard deviation bands, and a consolidation detection system based on Bollinger Bands (BB), Average True Range (ATR), and Relative Strength Index (RSI). Designed for versatility, it caters to both trend-following and range-bound trading strategies.
Indicators and Logic
Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):
Daily SMAs: 50-period and 200-period SMAs are calculated on the daily timeframe, plotted on the chart for trend identification. These are ideal for long-term trend analysis, with the 50-SMA acting as a short-term trend indicator and the 200-SMA as a long-term trend indicator.
Chart SMAs: 50-period and 200-period SMAs are calculated on the current chart timeframe, offering flexibility for intraday or swing trading. These are toggleable and disabled by default to reduce chart clutter.
Labeling: Customizable labels for SMA lines and their values (toggleable) provide clear visual cues, showing the exact price levels of the SMAs on the chart.
Anchored VWAP with Standard Deviation Bands:
The VWAP is anchored to a user-defined date (default: March 20, 2020), calculating the volume-weighted average price from that point. It serves as a dynamic support/resistance level, reflecting the average price traders have paid.
Three standard deviation bands (1σ, 2σ, 3σ) are plotted around the VWAP, helping identify overbought/oversold conditions or potential breakout zones. These bands are toggleable for user convenience.
A 1-period EMA is included (toggleable, disabled by default) for traders who prefer a fast-moving average for short-term price tracking.
Consolidation Detection:
The consolidation finder uses three indicators to identify low-volatility periods, which often precede breakouts:
Bollinger Bands (BB): Measures price range tightness using the BB width (upper band - lower band / SMA). A low BB width (< user-defined threshold) indicates consolidation.
ATR (Average True Range): Assesses volatility as a percentage of the closing price. A low ATR % (< user-defined threshold) confirms reduced market activity.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): A low RSI (< user-defined threshold) suggests weak momentum, typical of consolidation phases.
Two consolidation signals are generated:
New Signal: Detects consolidation if at least a user-defined number of bars (default: 3) within a lookback period (default: 10) meet the criteria.
Standard Signal: Detects instant consolidation based on the current bar’s conditions.
A dynamic table displays historical data (min/max/average) for BB width, ATR %, and RSI within a user-defined date range, aiding in parameter optimization.
Trading Strategies
Trend-Following with SMAs:
Use the 50/200 SMA crossover on the daily timeframe to identify bullish (50 > 200) or bearish (50 < 200) trends.
On the chart timeframe, enable the 50/200 SMAs for shorter-term trend confirmation, aligning trades with the dominant trend.
Example: Enter long positions when the price is above both SMAs and short positions when below, using SMA value labels to confirm price proximity.
Mean-Reversion with Anchored VWAP:
Treat the VWAP as a mean price level. Enter long trades when the price dips to the lower 1σ/2σ bands and short trades when it rises to the upper 1σ/2σ bands, expecting a reversion to the VWAP.
Use the 3σ bands to identify extreme conditions for potential breakout or reversal trades.
Example: If the price touches the lower 2σ band and the RSI is oversold, consider a long trade targeting the VWAP.
Breakout Trading with Consolidation Detection:
Monitor the consolidation signals (new or standard) to identify low-volatility periods. These often precede significant price movements.
Enter breakout trades when the price breaks above/below key levels (e.g., VWAP, SMA, or BB bands) after a consolidation signal.
Example: If the “New Signal” is active and the price breaks above the VWAP with increasing volume, initiate a long trade targeting the upper BB band.
User-Friendly Features
Customizable Inputs: Users can adjust SMA lengths, VWAP anchor date, band multipliers, and consolidation thresholds to suit their trading style.
Toggleable Plots and Labels: Enable/disable SMAs, VWAP bands, EMA, and labels to declutter the chart and focus on relevant data.
Dynamic Table: Displays historical BB width, ATR %, and RSI metrics for the selected date range, helping users fine-tune parameters.
Alert Conditions: Two alert conditions (new and standard consolidation signals) allow users to set notifications for trading opportunities.
Visual Clarity: Color-coded plots (green for bullish, red for bearish) and clear labels enhance readability and decision-making.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust input parameters (e.g., SMA lengths, VWAP anchor date, consolidation thresholds) based on your trading preferences.
Enable/disable plots and labels to customize the chart display.
Monitor the dynamic table for historical data to optimize consolidation detection settings.
Set alerts for consolidation signals to stay informed of potential trading opportunities.
Combine SMA trends, VWAP levels, and consolidation signals to develop a robust trading strategy.
Notes
This indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical/fundamental analysis to confirm signals.
Backtest any strategy thoroughly before live trading, as past performance does not guarantee future results.
The default settings are optimized for general use but may require adjustment for specific markets or timeframes.

Adaptive ATR Limits█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots adaptive ATR limits for intraday trading. A key feature of this indicator, which makes it different from other ATR limit indicators, is that the top and bottom ATR limit lines are always exactly one ATR apart from each other (in "auto" mode; there is also a "basic" mode, which plots the limits in the more traditional way—i.e., one ATR above the low and one ATR below the high at all times—and this can be used for comparison).
█ FEATURES
Provides an algorithm to plot the most reasonable intraday ATR top/bottom limits based on currently available information
Dynamically adapts limits as the price evolves during the day
Works correctly and consistently on both RTH and ETH charts
Has a user-selected ADR mode to base the limits on ADR instead of ATR
Option to include the current pre-market and previous day's post-market range in the calculation
Configurable ATR/ADR averaging length
Provides a visual smoothing option
Provides an information box showing the current numerical ATR/ADR values
Reasonable defaults that work well if the user changes nothing
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ HOW TO USE
At a minimum, there is nothing that needs to be set. The defaults work well. The ATR top line (red, configurable) gives you the most reasonable move given the currently available information. The line will move away from the price as the price approaches it; that is normal—it is reacting to new information. This happens until the ATR bottom limit hits the lower of the daily low and the previous day's close (in ATR mode). The ATR bottom line (green, configurable) works the same way, with reversed logic.
There is an option to use ADR instead of ATR. The ATR includes the previous day's RTH close in the range, whereas ADR does not. Another option allows the user to add the current day's pre-market range or the previous day's post-market into the current day's range, which has an effect if either of those went outside of today's RTH range, plus yesterday's RTH close (in the default ATR mode). Pre-market and post-market range is not typically included in the daily true range, so only change it if you really know you want it.
█ CONCEPTS
Most traditional ATR limit indicators plot the top ATR limit one ATR above the current daily low, and the bottom ATR limit one ATR below the current daily high. This indicator can also do that (in "basic" mode), but its value lies in its default "auto" mode, which uses an algorithm to dynamically adapt the ATR limits throughout the day, keeping them one ATR apart at all times. It tries to plot the most sensible ATR limits based on the current daily ATR, in order to provide a reasonable visual intraday target, given the available information at that point in time.
"Auto" mode is actually a weighted average of two methods: midpoint and relative (both of which can also be explicitly selected). The midpoint method places the midpoint of the ATR limit equal to the midpoint of the currently established daily range. The relative method measures the currently established daily range and calculates the position of the current price within it (as a ratio between 0 and 1). It then uses that value as a weight in a weighted average of extreme locations for the ATR limits, which are: the ATR top anchored to one ATR above the daily low, and the ATR bottom anchored to one ATR below the daily high.
The relative method is more advanced and better for most of the day; however, it can cause wild swings in the early market or pre-market before a reasonable range (as a percentage of ATR) has been established. "Auto" mode therefore takes another weighted average between the two methods, with the weight determined by the percentage of the ATR currently established within the day, more strongly weighting the calmer midpoint method before a good range is established. Once the full ATR has been achieved, the algorithm in "auto" mode will have fully switched to the relative method and will remain with that method for the rest of the day.
To explain the effect further, as an example, imagine that the price is approaching the full ATR range on the high side. At this point, the indicator will have almost fully transitioned to the second (relative) method. The lower ATR limit will now be anchored to the daily low as the price hits the upper ATR limit. If the price goes beyond the upper ATR, the lower ATR limit will stay anchored to the daily low, and the upper limit will stay anchored to one ATR above the lower limit. This allows you to see how far the price is going beyond the upper ATR limit. If the price then returns and backs off the upper ATR limit, the lower ATR limit will un-anchor from the daily low (it will actually rise, since the daily ATR range has been exceeded, so the lower ATR limit needs to come up because the actual daily range can’t fit into the ATR range anymore). The overall effect is to give you the best visual indication of where the price is in relation to a possible upper ATR-based target. Reverse this example for when the price low approaches the ATR range on the low side.
Care was taken so that the code uses no hard-coded time zones, exchanges, or session times. For this reason, it can in principle work globally. However, it very much depends on the information provided by the exchange, which is reflected in built-in Pine Script variables (see Limitations below).
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator was developed for US/European equities and is tested on them only. It is also known to work on US futures; in this case, the whole 23-hour session is used, and the "Sessions to include in range" setting has no effect. It may or may not work as intended on security types and equities/futures for other countries.
Smart Breakout with ATR Stop-LossThe Smart Breakout indicator combines a classic 20-day Donchian channel breakout with a tight trailing stop, drawing green lines and “ENTRY” labels at the bar after a valid breakout, and red lines and “EXIT” label at the bar after a stop-loss breach.
By default it uses the chart’s timeframe to compute ATR and stops, but you can flip on Daily lock to freeze both ATR and price reads at the daily resolution—so your stops stay the same whether you view at 1s, 15 m, 4h or lower frequency bars.
Key features:
20-day Donchian breakout: entry when price closes above the highest high of the previous 20 bars
2 × ATR(14) trailing stop: initialized at entry and raised only when the new (close – 2 × ATR) exceeds the prior stop
Daily lock option: Ensures all ATR and close values are calculated on the daily timeframe, keeping stop levels consistent across resolutions
Sharpe & Sortino Ratio PROSharpe & Sortino Ratio PRO offers an advanced and more precise way to calculate and visualize the Sharpe and Sortino Ratios for financial assets on TradingView. Its main goal is to provide a scientifically accurate method for assessing the risk-adjusted performance of assets, both in the short and long term. Unlike TradingView’s built-in metrics, this script correctly handles periodic returns, uses optional logarithmic returns, properly annualizes both returns and volatility, and adjusts for the risk-free rate — all critical factors for truly meaningful Sharpe and Sortino calculations.
Users can customize the rolling analysis window (e.g., 252 periods for one year on daily data) and the long-term smoothing period (e.g., 1260 periods for five years). There’s also an option to select between linear and logarithmic returns and to manually input a risk-free rate if real-time data from FRED (the 3-Month T-Bill Rate via FRED:DGS3MO) is unavailable. Based on the chart’s timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly), the script automatically adjusts the risk-free rate to a per-period basis.
The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by first determining the asset’s excess returns (returns after subtracting the risk-free return per period), then computing the average and standard deviation of those excess returns over the specified window, and finally annualizing these figures separately — in line with best scientific practices (Sharpe, 1994). The Sortino Ratio follows a similar approach but only considers negative returns, focusing specifically on downside risk (Sortino & Van der Meer, 1991).
To enhance readability, the script visualizes the ratios using a color gradient: strong negative values are shown in red, neutral values in yellow, and strong positive values in green. Additionally, the long-term averages for both Sharpe and Sortino are plotted with steady colors (teal and orange, respectively), making it easier to spot enduring performance trends.
Why calculating Sharpe and Sortino Ratios manually on TradingView is necessary?
While TradingView provides basic Sharpe and Sortino Ratios, they come with significant methodological flaws that can lead to misleading conclusions about an asset’s true risk-adjusted performance.
First, TradingView often computes volatility based on the standard deviation of price levels rather than returns (TradingView, 2023). This method is problematic because it causes the volatility measure to be directly dependent on the asset’s absolute price. For instance, a stock priced at $1,000 will naturally show larger absolute daily price moves than a $10 stock, even if their percentage changes are similar. This artificially inflates the measured standard deviation and, as a result, depresses the calculated Sharpe Ratio.
Second, TradingView frequently neglects to adjust for the risk-free rate. By treating all returns as risky returns, the computed Sharpe Ratio may significantly underestimate risk-adjusted performance, especially when interest rates are high (Sharpe, 1994).
Third, and perhaps most critically, TradingView doesn’t properly annualize the mean excess return and the standard deviation separately. In correct financial math, the mean excess return should be multiplied by the number of periods per year, while the standard deviation should be multiplied by the square root of the number of periods per year (Cont, 2001; Fabozzi et al., 2007). Incorrect annualization skews the Sharpe and Sortino Ratios and can lead to under- or overestimating investment risk.
These flaws lead to three major issues:
• Overstated volatility for high-priced assets.
• Incorrect scaling between returns and risk.
• Sharpe Ratios that are systematically biased downward, especially in high-price or high-interest environments.
How to properly calculate Sharpe and Sortino Ratios in Pine Script?
To get accurate results, the Sharpe and Sortino Ratios must be calculated using the correct methodology:
1. Use returns, not price levels, to calculate volatility. Ideally, use logarithmic returns for better mathematical properties like time additivity (Cont, 2001).
2. Adjust returns by subtracting the risk-free rate on a per-period basis to obtain true excess returns.
3. Annualize separately:
• Multiply the mean excess return by the number of periods per year (e.g., 252 for daily data).
• Multiply the standard deviation by the square root of the number of periods per year.
4. Finally, divide the annualized mean excess return by the annualized standard deviation to calculate the Sharpe Ratio.
The Sortino Ratio follows the same structure but uses downside deviations instead of standard deviations.
By following this scientifically sound method, you ensure that your Sharpe and Sortino Ratios truly reflect the asset’s real-world risk and return characteristics.

ADR% Extension Levels from SMA 50I created this indicator inspired by RealSimpleAriel (a swing trader I recommend following on X) who does not buy stocks extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA and uses extensions from the 50 SMA at 7-8-9-10-11-12-13 ADR% to take profits with a 20% position trimming.
RealSimpleAriel's strategy (as I understood it):
-> Focuses on leading stocks from leading groups and industries, i.e., those that have grown the most in the last 1-3-6 months (see on Finviz groups and then select sector-industry).
-> Targets stocks with the best technical setup for a breakout, above the 200 SMA in a bear market and above both the 50 SMA and 200 SMA in a bull market, selecting those with growing Earnings and Sales.
-> Buys stocks on breakout with a stop loss set at the day's low of the breakout and ensures they are not extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA.
-> 3-5 day momentum burst: After a breakout, takes profits by selling 1/2 or 1/3 of the position after a 3-5 day upward move.
-> 20% trimming on extension from the 50 SMA: At 7 ADR% (ADR% calculated over 20 days) extension from the 50 SMA, takes profits by selling 20% of the remaining position. Continues to trim 20% of the remaining position based on the stock price extension from the 50 SMA, calculated using the 20-period ADR%, thus trimming 20% at 8-9-10-11 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA. Upon reaching 12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA, considers the stock overextended, closes the remaining position, and evaluates a short.
-> Trailing stop with ascending SMA: Uses a chosen SMA (10, 20, or 50) as the definitive stop loss for the position, depending on the stock's movement speed (preferring larger SMAs for slower-moving stocks or for long-term theses). If the stock's closing price falls below the chosen SMA, the entire position is closed.
In summary:
-->Buy a breakout using the day's low of the breakout as the stop loss (this stop loss is the most critical).
--> Do not buy stocks extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA.
--> Sell 1/2 or 1/3 of the position after 3-5 days of upward movement.
--> Trim 20% of the position at each 7-8-9-10-11-12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA.
--> Close the entire position if the breakout fails and the day's low of the breakout is reached.
--> Close the entire position if the price, during the rise, falls below a chosen SMA (10, 20, or 50, depending on your preference).
--> Definitively close the position if it reaches 12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA.
I used Grok from X to create this indicator. I am not a programmer, but based on the ADR% I use, it works.
Below is Grok from X's description of the indicator:
Script Description
The script is a custom indicator for TradingView that displays extension levels based on ADR% relative to the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Below is a detailed description of its features, structure, and behavior:
1. Purpose of the Indicator
Name: "ADR% Extension Levels from SMA 50".
Objective: Draw horizontal blue lines above and below the 50-period SMA, corresponding to specific ADR% multiples (4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). These levels represent potential price extension zones based on the average daily percentage volatility.
Overlay: The indicator is overlaid on the price chart (overlay=true), so the lines and SMA appear directly on the price graph.
2. Configurable Inputs
The indicator allows users to customize parameters through TradingView settings:
SMA Length (smaLength):
Default: 50 periods.
Description: Specifies the number of periods for calculating the Simple Moving Average (SMA). The 50-period SMA serves as the reference point for extension levels.
Constraint: Minimum 1 period.
ADR% Length (adrLength):
Default: 20 periods.
Description: Specifies the number of days to calculate the moving average of the daily high/low ratio, used to determine ADR%.
Constraint: Minimum 1 period.
Scale Factor (scaleFactor):
Default: 1.0.
Description: An optional multiplier to adjust the distance of extension levels from the SMA. Useful if levels are too close or too far due to an overly small or large ADR%.
Constraint: Minimum 0.1, increments of 0.1.
Tooltip: "Adjust if levels are too close or far from SMA".
3. Main Calculations
50-period SMA:
Calculated with ta.sma(close, smaLength) using the closing price (close).
Serves as the central line around which extension levels are drawn.
ADR% (Average Daily Range Percentage):
Formula: 100 * (ta.sma(dhigh / dlow, adrLength) - 1).
Details:
dhigh and dlow are the daily high and low prices, obtained via request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", high/low) to ensure data is daily-based, regardless of the chart's timeframe.
The dhigh / dlow ratio represents the daily percentage change.
The simple moving average (ta.sma) of this ratio over 20 days (adrLength) is subtracted by 1 and multiplied by 100 to obtain ADR% as a percentage.
The result is multiplied by scaleFactor for manual adjustments.
Extension Levels:
Defined as ADR% multiples: 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
Stored in an array (levels) for easy iteration.
For each level, prices above and below the SMA are calculated as:
Above: sma50 * (1 + (level * adrPercent / 100))
Below: sma50 * (1 - (level * adrPercent / 100))
These represent price levels corresponding to a percentage change from the SMA equal to level * ADR%.
4. Visualization
Horizontal Blue Lines:
For each level (4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ADR%), two lines are drawn:
One above the SMA (e.g., +4 ADR%).
One below the SMA (e.g., -4 ADR%).
Color: Blue (color.blue).
Style: Solid (style=line.style_solid).
Management:
Each level has dedicated variables for upper and lower lines (e.g., upperLine1, lowerLine1 for 4 ADR%).
Previous lines are deleted with line.delete before drawing new ones to avoid overlaps.
Lines are updated at each bar with line.new(bar_index , level, bar_index, level), covering the range from the previous bar to the current one.
Labels:
Displayed only on the last bar (barstate.islast) to avoid clutter.
For each level, two labels:
Above: E.g., "4 ADR%", positioned above the upper line (style=label.style_label_down).
Below: E.g., "-4 ADR%", positioned below the lower line (style=label.style_label_up).
Color: Blue background, white text.
50-period SMA:
Drawn as a gray line (color.gray) for visual reference.
Diagnostics:
ADR% Plot: ADR% is plotted in the status line (orange, histogram style) to verify the value.
ADR% Label: A label on the last bar near the SMA shows the exact ADR% value (e.g., "ADR%: 2.34%"), with a gray background and white text.
5. Behavior
Dynamic Updating:
Lines update with each new bar to reflect new SMA 50 and ADR% values.
Since ADR% uses daily data ("D"), it remains constant within the same day but changes day-to-day.
Visibility Across All Bars:
Lines are drawn on every bar, not just the last one, ensuring visibility on historical data as well.
Adaptability:
The scaleFactor allows level adjustments if ADR% is too small (e.g., for low-volatility symbols) or too large (e.g., for cryptocurrencies).
Compatibility:
Works on any timeframe since ADR% is calculated from daily data.
Suitable for symbols with varying volatility (e.g., stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies).
6. Intended Use
Technical Analysis: Extension levels represent significant price zones based on average daily volatility. They can be used to:
Identify potential price targets (e.g., take profit at +7 ADR%).
Assess support/resistance zones (e.g., -4 ADR% as support).
Measure price extension relative to the 50 SMA.
Trading: Useful for strategies based on breakouts or mean reversion, where ADR% levels indicate reversal or continuation points.
Debugging: Labels and ADR% plot help verify that values align with the symbol’s volatility.
7. Limitations
Dependence on Daily Data: ADR% is based on daily dhigh/dlow, so it may not reflect intraday volatility on short timeframes (e.g., 1 minute).
Extreme ADR% Values: For low-volatility symbols (e.g., bonds) or high-volatility symbols (e.g., meme stocks), ADR% may require adjustments via scaleFactor.
Graphical Load: Drawing 16 lines (8 upper, 8 lower) on every bar may slow the chart for very long historical periods, though line management is optimized.
ADR% Formula: The formula 100 * (sma(dhigh/dlow, Length) - 1) may produce different values compared to other ADR% definitions (e.g., (high - low) / close * 100), so users should be aware of the context.
8. Visual Example
On a chart of a stock like TSLA (daily timeframe):
The 50 SMA is a gray line tracking the average trend.
Assuming an ADR% of 3%:
At +4 ADR% (12%), a blue line appears at sma50 * 1.12.
At -4 ADR% (-12%), a blue line appears at sma50 * 0.88.
Other lines appear at ±7, ±8, ±9, ±10, ±11, ±12, ±13 ADR%.
On the last bar, labels show "4 ADR%", "-4 ADR%", etc., and a gray label shows "ADR%: 3.00%".
ADR% is visible in the status line as an orange histogram.
9. Code: Technical Structure
Language: Pine Script @version=5.
Inputs: Three configurable parameters (smaLength, adrLength, scaleFactor).
Calculations:
SMA: ta.sma(close, smaLength).
ADR%: 100 * (ta.sma(dhigh / dlow, adrLength) - 1) * scaleFactor.
Levels: sma50 * (1 ± (level * adrPercent / 100)).
Graphics:
Lines: Created with line.new, deleted with line.delete to avoid overlaps.
Labels: Created with label.new only on the last bar.
Plots: plot(sma50) for the SMA, plot(adrPercent) for debugging.
Optimization: Uses dedicated variables for each line (e.g., upperLine1, lowerLine1) for clear management and to respect TradingView’s graphical object limits.
10. Possible Improvements
Option to show lines only on the last bar: Would reduce visual clutter.
Customizable line styles: Allow users to choose color or style (e.g., dashed).
Alert for anomalous ADR%: A message if ADR% is too small or large.
Dynamic levels: Allow users to specify ADR% multiples via input.
Optimization for short timeframes: Adapt ADR% for intraday timeframes.
Conclusion
The script creates a visual indicator that helps traders identify price extension levels based on daily volatility (ADR%) relative to the 50 SMA. It is robust, configurable, and includes debugging tools (ADR% plot and labels) to verify values. The ADR% formula based on dhigh/dlow
[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 💬.
Thank you for your support 🚀
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.
[Tradevietstock] Market Cycle Detector_Quantum Flux Best technical indicator to detect market cycles - Quantum Flux
Hello folks, it's Tradevietstock again! Today, I will introduce you to Quantum Flux Indicator, which can help you identify market cycle and find your best entry/exit effectively.
i. Overview
1. What is Market Cycle Detector_Quantum Flux?
The Quantum Flux Indicator is developed specifically to analyze and detect market cycles across a variety of asset classes. Whether you trade stocks, crypto, forex, or commodities, this indicator provides a consistent framework to track trends and time your positions.
2. Supported Markets:
Stock Market
Crypto Market
Commodities
Forex
You can apply the same cycle-based strategy across all these markets using QFI.
Depending on the platform you're using, here’s how you can start using Quantum Flux:
TradingView Users:
Once your invite is approved, the indicator will be added to your TradingView account. You can access it directly through the Indicators tab.
MT5 / Amibroker Users:
After your payment is completed, we will send you the QFI script. You can then import it manually into your MT5 or Amibroker trading platform.
ii. Setting Up the Indicator
1. Choose Your Setup
There are two ways to configure the Quantum Flux - The best indicator to detect market cycles
Default Setup (Recommended)
This includes both the Quantum Aroon and some of the Premium MACD signals. This full setup is ideal for traders who want a complete view of the market cycle with detailed signals. You just need to turn off the Premium MACD_Components as the image below
MACD-Only Setup
In this mode, the Quantum Aroon module is disabled. The indicator will rely solely on the Premium MACD Setting to generate signals. While this option is available, we recommend using the full setup for the most accurate performance.
2. Recognize the Market Cycle Phases
According to Tradevietstock’s theory , every trading asset typically moves through four distinct phases in a complete cycle:
Bearish Phase - Bear Market
First Bullish Wave - The Recovery
Strong Correction Phase
Final Bullish Wave
Quantum Flux generates visual and data-driven signals to help you time your trades accurately.
Green Dots: MACD crossover → Potential buy signal
Red Dots: MACD crossunder → Potential sell signal
Quantum Aroon Crossover: Confirms bullish trend or Buy Signals
Quantum Aroon Crossunder: Confirms bearish trend or Exit Signals
Green background: Extreme Bullish Phase
Red background: Extreme Bearish Phase
The Extreme Bullish/Bearish Phase is a unique feature of our system that enhances trading signals by capturing moments when the market moves aggressively—either in a strong uptrend or downtrend. This phase often represents the peak of Greed in bullish markets and Fear in bearish ones, offering a way to gauge market sentiment visually. The intensity of the background color helps interpret this: a bolder green indicates a more extreme bull market, while a deeper red signals an extreme bear market.
It's important to note that the Extreme Bullish/Bearish Phases are not direct entry or exit signals. Instead, they serve as enhancement signals that help traders make more informed decisions. These phases provide insight into whether it's wise to wait for additional confirmation before entering a trade, or to hold existing positions longer until clearer exit signals—like red dots or crosses—appear. By identifying the market's most intense emotional points, these signals help traders better align with momentum rather than react prematurely.
=> In summary, the Extreme Bullish/Bearish Phase provides valuable insight into market sentiment by highlighting emotional extremes, helping traders navigate aggressive trends with greater confidence. However, like all features in the indicator, its purpose is to complement, not replace, the core entry and exit signals—which are still based on crosses and dots. As always, green indicates bullish conditions, and red indicates bearish, but sentiment alone doesn't drive the trades—signals do.
3. The logic of the indicator and its trading strategy
Many traders are familiar with Wyckoff's theory, which, while foundational, can feel outdated and inefficient for real-life trading in today's fast-paced markets. It takes time to apply and may not be the most practical approach. That’s why many turn to day trading, but without the right tools and strategy, it can lead to account blow-ups.
The traditional market cycle consists of four stages: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown. While this is accurate, it's not always sufficient for modern trading. We need something more practical.
According to Tradevietstock's theory, the market cycle can be broken into four stages: a bear market, recovery, correction wave, and a bull market (the strongest uptrend). This new approach offers a shorter and more efficient timeline compared to Wyckoff's or other older cycle theories, making it a safer and more practical alternative to intraday trading.
To trade with market cycles, you need to remember these four stages:
Bearish Phase - Bear Market
First Bullish Wave - The Recovery
Strong Correction Phase
Final Bullish Wave
The logic for BUY/SELL (Entry/Exit) signals is built on a combination of crossover and crossunder events from the Quantum Aroon and Premium MACD indicators. Our Quantum Aroon is an enhanced version that applies a custom zero-lag smoothing function, making its trend signals more responsive and accurate than the traditional Aroon. It also includes a signal line for crossover alerts, along with visual enhancements like color-coded backgrounds, arrows, and gradient fills to highlight different market phases. Integrated with normalized MACD and RSI, it helps confirm signals and identify overbought or oversold conditions. Most importantly, it's aligned with Tradevietstock’s 4-phase market cycle—Bear Market, Recovery, Correction, and Bull Market—making it especially practical for real-world trading.
The Premium MACD differs from the standard version by introducing several key improvements. It normalizes the MACD line, signal line, and histogram for consistent interpretation across assets and timeframes, improving visual clarity. It also supports multi-timeframe analysis, allowing users to choose between the current chart resolution or a custom timeframe. The indicator includes color-coded histogram bars to show momentum changes and uses large dynamic circles to highlight crossover points.
=> These enhancements improve signal accuracy and make trend reversals easier to spot. Paired with the Quantum Aroon, it serves as a powerful confirmation tool within the Tradevietstock cycle framework.
4. Get to practice
In the example of NVDA, you can observe all four phases in action. For medium- to long-term traders, Phase 2 and Phase 4 usually present the strongest buying opportunities. Phase 1 and Phase 3 are accumulation phases — where prices are lower and preparations are made for the next bullish leg.
We can examine the following example to better understand Phase 1: The Bear Market . This phase only begins after a prior uptrend in the stock price . It’s crucial to remember that Phase 1 is not the start of the overall trend—it marks the reversal following a bullish run.
For instance, take the LMT stock: after a 50% rise, Quantum Flux displays a green background, indicating an 'Extreme Bullish Phase.' Once this bullish phase concludes, it sets the stage for a valid Phase 1—the beginning of the Bear Market.
The stock price declines sharply, triggering Quantum Flux to display a red background as the Aroon line crosses below the signal line.
Phase 1 concludes when we observe multiple crossover signals—most notably when the Aroon line crosses above the Signal line—and the red background, which signifies the Extreme Bearish Phase, disappears. Let's take a look at the image below:
Let’s move on to Phase 2: The Recovery. This phase follows the Bear Market—Phase 1. After a significant decline in the stock price, a recovery or pullback is expected.
Our signals for this phase include green dots and crosses, along with the confirmation signals that mark the end of Phase 1. This combination provides valid Buy signals and presents opportunities for mid-term investment strategies.
Phase 3 is a correction wave after the recovery . We also incorporate the cross and dot signals during this phase. In Phase 2, the strategy involves preparing to sell or take profits once the recovery phase matures. Whenever red dots or red crosses appear, they serve as indicators to consider taking profits, signaling the potential end of the upward move.
In Phase 3, known as the correction wave, the key objective is to take profits before the price begins to decline. This phase represents a temporary pullback following the recovery. Importantly, the end of Phase 3 often presents a strong buying opportunity—just before the onset of Phase 4, which is the strongest bullish wave. Whenever green dots and crosses appear at this stage, they serve as clear Buy signals, allowing us to position early for the upcoming bullish momentum.
Phase 4 is the strongest bullish wave—one that investors definitely don’t want to miss. Having entered at the end of Phase 3, the goal in Phase 4 is to maximize gains by targeting the highest highs.
During this phase, we closely monitor our exit signals, which include the appearance of red dots and red crosses, as well as the disappearance of the Extreme Bullish Phase indicator (green background). These signals help us lock in profits at the peak of the bullish momentum.
iii. Brief Conclusion on the Signals
End of Phase 1:
As Phase 1 nears completion, green dots start to appear. These serve as early entry signals, offering an opportunity to buy at lower prices before the trend reversal begins.
Phase 2 – Recovery:
Momentum begins to build during this phase. As it approaches its peak, red dots and Aroon line crossunders emerge—signaling that it's time to exit or reduce exposure in anticipation of a correction.
Phase 3 – Correction:
The indicator typically shows a red background, reflecting a bearish environment. This is a waiting phase—traders should remain cautious and avoid entering until green signals reappear.
Phase 4 – Strong Bullish Wave:
With the return of bullish signals (green dots, crosses, and green background), Phase 4 begins. After entering, the position is held to ride the strong momentum. Profit-taking signals include the appearance of red dots, red crosses, and the disappearance of the green background.

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)

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.

Teddy LiteOverview
"Teddy" overlays key price levels—Daily Open (DO), Average Daily Range (ADR), and ADR Extensions (ADE)—on intraday charts. Designed for traders, it provides a clear framework to align with market ranges, avoid choppy price action, and stay out of overbought/oversold conditions, enhancing decision-making in dynamic markets.
Originality and Usefulness
"Teddy" uniquely combines DO, ADR High/Low, and ADE High/Low with dynamic percentage labels, while offering a concise view of price boundaries for daily Highs and Lows.
What It Does
Plots DO, ADR High/Low, and ADE High/Low as levels on the chart.
Labels each level with percentage distances from the current price (e.g., "ADRH (2.34%)").
Customizes visuals for clarity (colors, line styles, label sizes).
How It Works
Data Sources: Retrieves daily open and historical high/low data to compute ranges.
Calculations:
Daily Open (DO): Marks the session’s opening price.
ADR: Estimates typical daily range from past data, centered on DO to set High/Low bounds.
ADE: Extends ADR by a fixed percentage for outer limits.
Visualization: Updates lines and labels live, with user-defined colors, styles, and sizes.
How It Helps Traders
"Teddy" guides traders to avoid chasing markets in extended conditions:
Respecting the range: ADR High/Low define range-friendly zones—price above DO nearing ADR High signals bullish momentum is peaking, while below DO near ADR Low supports bearish momentum peaking.
Avoiding Choppy Conditions: Price lingering near DO often indicates indecision; "Teddy" highlights this level, helping you define balanced market conditions that favor choppy conditions.
Steering Clear of Overbought/Oversold: ADE High/Low mark extended levels where reversals are extremely—price hitting ADE Highlights the trend strength on the day but warns price is extremely over extended.
This structured approach keeps trades aligned with the markets average range, so traders can avoid extremes favorable levels for choppiness.
How to Use It
Apply to an intraday chart (e.g., SPY 5m).
Customize via inputs:
"Appearance Settings": Colors, line styles (Solid, Dotted, Dashed), widths (1-6), label visibility, and sizes (Tiny to Huge).
Watch levels: Consider reducing risk as the market approaches our ADRH/L levels. Trades can also play breakouts/failed breakouts at ADR High/Low or at ADE High/Low. Additionally remaining patient while the auction remains in balance near Day Open is an option as well.
Underlying Concepts
Range Dynamics: ADR reflects average daily volatility, DO anchors context, and ADE flags extensions.
Price Action: Levels highlight Volatility/Range (ADR) versus consolidation (DO) or expansive exhaustion (ADE).
Limitations
Optimized for day traders during live sessions; less effective in low-volatility periods.
Requires sufficient historical data for accurate ADR/ADE.
Levels are contextual and where I expect reactive price action to occur.. They are not guaranteed signals.
Aurora Flow Oscillator [QuantAlgo]The Aurora Flow Oscillator is an advanced momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify market direction, momentum shifts, and potential reversal zones using adaptive filtering techniques. It visualizes price momentum through a dynamic oscillator that quantifies trend strength and direction, helping traders and investors recognize momentum shifts and trading opportunities across various timeframes and asset class.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Aurora Flow Oscillator employs a sophisticated mathematical approach with adaptive momentum filtering to analyze market conditions, including:
Price-Based Momentum Calculation: Calculates logarithmic price changes to measure the rate and magnitude of market movement
Adaptive Momentum Filtering: Applies an advanced filtering algorithm to smooth momentum calculations while preserving important signals
Acceleration Analysis: Incorporates momentum acceleration to identify shifts in market direction before they become obvious
Signal Normalization: Automatically scales the oscillator output to a range between -100 and 100 for consistent interpretation across different market conditions
The indicator processes price data through multiple filtering stages, applying mathematical principles including exponential smoothing with adaptive coefficients. This creates an oscillator that dynamically adjusts to market volatility while maintaining responsiveness to genuine trend changes.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Momentum Flow and Extreme Zone Identification
The oscillator presents market momentum through an intuitive visual display that clearly indicates both direction and strength:
Above Zero: Indicates positive momentum and potential bullish conditions
Below Zero: Indicates negative momentum and potential bearish conditions
Slope Direction: The angle and direction of the oscillator provide immediate insight into momentum strength
Zero Line Crossings: Signal potential trend changes and new directional momentum
The indicator also identifies potential overbought and oversold market conditions through extreme zone markings:
Upper Zone (>50): Indicates strong bullish momentum that may be approaching exhaustion
Lower Zone (<-50): Indicates strong bearish momentum that may be approaching exhaustion
Extreme Boundaries (±95): Mark potentially unsustainable momentum levels where reversals become increasingly likely
These zones are displayed with gradient intensity that increases as the oscillator moves toward extremes, helping traders and investors:
→ Identify potential reversal zones
→ Determine appropriate entry and exit points
→ Gauge overall market sentiment strength
2. Customizable Trading Style Presets
The Aurora Flow Oscillator offers pre-configured settings for different trading approaches:
Default (80,150): Balanced configuration suitable for most trading and investing situations.
Scalping (5,80): Highly responsive settings for ultra-short-term trades. Generates frequent signals and catches quick price movements. Best for 1-15min charts when making many trades per day.
Day Trading (8,120): Optimized for intraday movements with faster response than default settings while maintaining reasonable signal quality. Ideal for 5-60min or 4h-12h timeframes.
Swing Trading (10,200): Designed for multi-day positions with stronger noise filtering. Focuses on capturing larger price swings while avoiding minor fluctuations. Works best on 1-4h and daily charts.
Position Trading (14,250): For longer-term position traders/investors seeking significant market trends. Reduces false signals by heavily filtering market noise. Ideal for daily or even weekly charts.
Trend Following (16,300): Maximum smoothing that prioritizes established directional movements over short-term fluctuations. Best used on daily and weekly charts, but can also be used for lower timeframe trading.
Countertrend (7,100): Tuned to detect potential reversals and exhaustion points in trends. More sensitive to momentum shifts than other presets. Effective on 15min-4h charts, as well as daily and weekly charts.
Each preset automatically adjusts internal parameters for optimal performance in the selected trading context, providing flexibility across different market approaches without requiring complex manual configuration.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
1/ Trend Analysis and Interpretation
→ Direction Assessment: Evaluate the oscillator's position relative to zero to determine underlying momentum bias
→ Momentum Strength: Measure the oscillator's distance from zero within the -100 to +100 range to quantify momentum magnitude
→ Trend Consistency: Monitor the oscillator's path for sustained directional movement without frequent zero-line crossings
→ Reversal Detection: Watch for oscillator divergence from price and deceleration of movement when approaching extreme zones
2/ Signal Generation Strategies
Depending on your trading approach, multiple signal strategies can be employed:
Trend Following Signals:
Enter long positions when the oscillator crosses above zero
Enter short positions when the oscillator crosses below zero
Add to positions on pullbacks while maintaining the overall trend direction
Countertrend Signals:
Look for potential reversals when the oscillator reaches extreme zones (±95)
Enter contrary positions when momentum shows signs of exhaustion
Use oscillator divergence with price as additional confirmation
Momentum Shift Signals:
Enter positions when oscillator changes direction after establishing a trend
Exit positions when oscillator direction reverses against your position
Scale position size based on oscillator strength percentage
3/ Timeframe Optimization
The indicator can be effectively applied across different timeframes with these considerations:
Lower Timeframes (1-15min):
Use Scalping or Day Trading presets
Focus on quick momentum shifts and zero-line crossings
Be cautious of noise in extreme market conditions
Medium Timeframes (30min-4h):
Use Default or Swing Trading presets
Look for established trends and potential reversal zones
Combine with support/resistance analysis for entry/exit precision
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Use Position Trading or Trend Following presets
Focus on major trend identification and long-term positioning
Use extreme zones for position management rather than immediate reversals
🟢 Pro Tips
Price Momentum Period:
→ Lower values (5-7) increase sensitivity to minor price fluctuations but capture more market noise
→ Higher values (10-16) emphasize sustained momentum shifts at the cost of delayed response
→ Adjust based on your timeframe (lower for shorter timeframes, higher for longer timeframes)
Oscillator Filter Period:
→ Lower values (80-120) produce more frequent directional changes and earlier response to momentum shifts
→ Higher values (200-300) filter out shorter-term fluctuations to highlight dominant market cycles
→ Match to your typical holding period (shorter holding time = lower filter values)
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
→ Compare oscillator readings across different timeframes for confluence
→ Look for alignment between higher and lower timeframe signals
→ Use higher timeframe for trend direction, lower for earlier entries
Volatility-Adaptive Trading:
→ Use oscillator strength to adjust position sizing (stronger = larger)
→ Consider reducing exposure when oscillator reaches extreme zones
→ Implement tighter stops during periods of oscillator acceleration
Combination Strategies:
→ Pair with volume indicators for confirmation of momentum shifts
→ Use with support/resistance levels for strategic entry and exit points
→ Combine with volatility indicators for comprehensive market context

ZenAlgo - Golden VeinOverview and Motivation
This indicator combines multiple volume-weighted average price (VWAP) calculations from different timeframes and then merges them into a single composite line called “the Vein”. It begins by pulling a user-defined source (for instance, a typical price) and then anchors a VWAP on daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and yearly intervals. By viewing all these timeframes together, the script captures multi-period trends in a way that stands apart from simpler, single-timeframe VWAP indicators. This comprehensive perspective is designed to offer practical benefits to those who monitor both short- and long-term VWAP behavior within a single tool.
Because it tracks many timeframes simultaneously, it can highlight instances when short-term and long-term VWAPs converge or diverge. Traders who need multi-timeframe validation may find this approach particularly helpful. Other free indicators typically restrict themselves to one or two timeframes, so the built-in multi-timeframe data in this script can save effort for those who rely heavily on VWAP analysis.
Core Inputs and Offsets
At the start, the script takes a single price input (e.g., the average of high, low, and close) and uses it to compute multiple VWAP lines. Users can also choose a distance factor (based on an ATR calculation) to control how far labels are placed from any crossover events. This distance sets how clearly the chart will display labels without overcrowding.
Beyond giving a cleaner visual, having a user-defined distance for labels means the script can adapt to any ticker’s volatility. If one trades assets with large intraday swings, the script leaves enough space for labels to remain readable. This flexibility is something that simpler free VWAP scripts might lack.
Multi-Timeframe VWAP Computations
The script calculates distinct VWAP lines: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly (3-Month), Semiannual (6-Month), and Yearly (12-Month). Each line resets whenever it detects a new period has started, ensuring that each timeframe’s VWAP properly anchors to its own session window. This allows the indicator to track how the market perceives fair value (through VWAP) on multiple horizons, all at once.
Simultaneously checking these various intervals can offer added clarity to traders who want to compare immediate market conditions (e.g., daily) to broader contexts (e.g., quarterly or yearly). Tools that only show one or two timeframes may miss the nuances that arise when, say, daily VWAP aligns with monthly VWAP at a turning point.
Crossover Detection and Labeling
Whenever two different VWAP lines intersect, the script generates an internal crossover signal. It then draws small labels (e.g., D↑W or M↓Q) to highlight that a lower timeframe VWAP has moved above or below a higher timeframe VWAP. These labels use color-coding and an ATR-based offset to remain visible.
An additional subtle feature is how daily VWAP crossovers can optionally be displayed only on a specific weekday and hour. That allows users who only want to track daily crossovers under certain conditions (for example, a fixed point in the weekly cycle) to filter out other signals. This adaptability can be worth paying for if one needs advanced filtering—an area where simpler free VWAP cross indicators typically do not offer such granular control.
The “Golden VWAP” (Composite Calculation)
All six VWAP lines (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, yearly) feed into a central average called “the Vein”. The script takes the midpoint of these six values on each bar, effectively combining short-, medium-, and long-term VWAP data into one. This composite serves as a reference line for overall market direction.
A volatility band (either a standard-deviation-based range or a user-defined percentage) wraps around this composite. The script thereby creates an upper and a lower boundary around the Golden VWAP, called “Resistance” and “Support.” Traders may interpret price moves beyond these levels as higher-probability expansions or contractions, but there is no guarantee of outcome. In choppier markets, breakouts above or below these bands might not lead to follow-through, so interpretation should always be combined with other evidence.
Simplified Market State Logic
By checking how price and the Golden VWAP behave from one bar to the next, the script tags the market state with labels like Bullish, Bearish, Super Bullish, or Super Bearish. These classifications hinge on whether the Golden VWAP is rising or falling, and whether price has crossed above or below the composite band. An optional table in the lower-left corner of the chart displays this label.
While such classification is convenient for scanning changing conditions quickly, it should be interpreted with caution. If the market is sideways or if volume patterns are erratic, the script can produce signals that do not align with real momentum. Treat these states as indications of potential bias rather than automatic buy or sell triggers.
Added Value
By gathering VWAP lines across multiple timeframes, generating alerts on all possible combinations of crossovers, and overlaying a composite VWAP with adjustable volatility bands, this script goes beyond typical single-timeframe VWAP indicators. It aims to let users track short-term shifts (e.g., daily crossing weekly) in the context of longer-term trends (e.g., yearly). This granularity and automation can reduce the need for multiple charts or manual recalculations of different VWAP windows.
Why It Can Be Worth Paying For
The capability to simultaneously anchor VWAP to multiple timeframes, detect crossovers, filter out daily signals by weekday/hour, and visualize a composite “Vein” with adjustable ranges represents a comprehensive feature set that free scripts often do not bundle together. For those who rely on multi-timeframe VWAP analysis, the time saved and clarity gained may justify a paid solution.
Interpreting Values
Crossover labels: Identify points where one timeframe’s VWAP moves above or below another. The direction (up or down) suggests potential momentum shifts.
Golden VWAP line: Treat it as the average “fair value” across all anchored periods. Large price moves above or below this line’s surrounding band might signal increased directional conviction—or false breakouts if volume is deceptive.
Market states: Use the Bullish/Super Bullish/Bearish/Super Bearish labels to gauge how price interacts with the composite’s slope and band.
How to Use It Best
Combine these signals with other risk-management methods.
Monitor multiple crossovers in tandem: for example, daily crossing weekly plus monthly crossing quarterly may offer stronger confluence.
Use the optional daily-label toggle to stay focused on selected higher-confidence signals if you find too many crossovers distracting.
Remember that every alert or label should be evaluated in broader market context and your own trading strategy.
Potential Shortcomings
As with any technical study, VWAP lines and crossovers are not foolproof predictors. The script can be less reliable in low-volume or fast-moving conditions. Large price shocks can cause abrupt changes that do not fit the typical patterns this indicator looks for.
In short, this script’s distinct advantage is showing multiple anchored VWAPs and a composite perspective in one place, offering fine control of alerts and appearance settings. Those who benefit most are chartists who want deeper VWAP insights across various timescales without juggling multiple separate indicators. However, like any technical tool, it should be understood as an aid rather than a guarantee of outcomes.
DTT Yearly Volatility Grid [Pro+] (NINE/ANARR)Introduction :
This tool is designed to automate the Digital Time Theory (DTT) framework created by Ivan and Anarr and applies the DTT Yearly Volatility Grid to uncover swing trading opportunities by analyzing Time-based statistical market behavior across the 4H to Daily chart.
Description:
Built upon the proprietary Digital Time Theory (DTT) , this advanced version is tailored for traders seeking multi-day to multi-week moves . It equips swing traders with an edge by analyzing macro Time intervals and volatility behavior across higher Timeframes. Applicable to all major asset classes, including stocks, crypto, forex, and futures , this script breaks down the entire yearly range into Higher-Time Frame Time Models and statistical zones .
This version uses daily intervals to track broader volatility waves, highlight the DTT framework, and pinpoint premium/discount areas across swing cycles. Powered by Time-driven data insights, this tool assists traders in anticipating expansions, understanding long-range Time distortions, and positioning around statistically significant zones in the higher-Time frame narrative.
Key Features:
Time-Based Models and Macro Volatility Awareness:
Automatically populates the chart with DTT Yearly Time Models (4H, Daily), engineered to spotlight macro volatility events across broader market sessions. Helps swing traders identify potential inflection points, reversals, or trend continuation zones.
Average Model Range Probability (AMRP):
Measure the average volatility expected over higher Time-based models. Use AMRP Levels and Projections to assess the range potential of each Yearly Model Time window—vital for monitoring reversals, breakouts, or continuation plays across several sessions or weeks.
Digital Root Candles and HTF Liquidity Draws:
For DTT Yearly Models, the Digital Root Candles are calculated as a specific Daily candle, and can be viewed on the Daily or 4H Timeframe. Analysts can frame premium and discount zones, based on where price is trading in relation to the current or previous model's Digital Roots. These areas also act as anchors for institutional price movement, often serving as bases for accumulation/distribution periods or large impulse moves.
Extended Visualization:
Track and project prior model ranges (high, low, equilibrium) into the current swing window. This helps visualize macro support/resistance , range expansion, failure zones, and price gravitation levels for longer-term trade planning.
Lookback Periods and Model Count
Utilize adjustable lookback periods to control the number of past DTT Yearly Models displayed—ideal for swing traders and quarterly outlooks. Whether you’re reviewing one yearly model to focus on the present range or several months’ worth of data for backtesting and confluence, this feature keeps charts clean, structured, and aligned with your preferred historical perspective.
By tailoring how many previous Time-based models appear on the chart, traders can better visualize and backtest repeated behaviors, major volatility clusters, and how key levels evolve over Time.
Detailed Data Table:
View statistical AMRP data for multiple DTT Yearly Models in real-Time. The data table helps confirm whether current price movement exceeds, respects, or fails to reach historical volatility ranges—key for analyzing market compression or expansion phases.
Customization Options:
Toggle inner Time interval, calculate AMRP utilizing a custom model lookback, and display styles (solid/dotted lines), including color coordination per drawing. Easily customize your charts and settings to fit your swing trading system or macro analysis.
How Swing Traders Can Use DTT Yearly Volatility Grid Effectively
Identify Swing Premium and Discount Zones:
Use Root Candles and Yearly Time Model AMRP Zones to evaluate where price is positioned in the current Time Model. Using this tool, traders can plan trades with a longer term horizon for a minimum of 1 to 2-weeks or manage entries/exits around market structure shifts and liquidity pools
Expect Macro Volatility Shifts:
Use the HTF models to forecast when and which volatility models are historically known to create larger market impulses . These tools help spot periods of potential exhaustion or breakout, especially near key economic releases, quarterly closes , or macro liquidity zones .
Avoid Low Volatility Consolidations:
AMRP helps you detect when the market is compressing or coiling within a DTT Yearly Model. If price is trading between Digital Root Candles or the AMRP zones, analysts are likely to notice periods of consolidation, and the inability to reach their historical volatility averages.
Usage Guidance:
Add DTT Yearly Volatility Grid (NINE/ANARR) to your TradingView chart.
Make sure to be on the 4H, or Daily Timeframes depending on your asset class and analysis.
Use the DTT Model elements and the Data Table to track expansion zones, premium/discount extremes, and model range behavior.

POF🔶 Smoothed POF Profile – Multi-Session Market Structure Tool 🔶
The Smoothed POF Profile is a precision-engineered market structure indicator that identifies the Point of Focus (POF) — the price level where market participation was most active — across Daily, Weekly, and Monthly sessions and plots them with smoothed over form to avoid whipsaws.
🔍 Powered by a custom-built algorithm for session profiling, this tool highlights:
🔶 POF: The most frequently traded or accepted price during a session
🟩 VAH / VAL: Dynamic Value Area High and Low markers (no cluttered lines — clean label-only display)
📐 The core logic utilizes a proprietary data refinement method that adapts to session volatility and filters out insignificant noise to avoid false shifts in structure. This results in smoothed POF readings that remain stable and meaningful — even during high-volatility periods.
🧠 Designed for traders who want to track evolving value, this tool provides a high-level view of where the market is finding agreement — and where price is likely to revert or expand from.
✅ Key Features:
Fully automated: Tracks Daily, Weekly, and Monthly sessions in real-time
Session-aware calculation of key structure levels
Elegant, non-obtrusive chart visuals (no histogram or volume bars)
Fully configurable Value Area % and display toggles
Multi-session color-coding (🟧 Daily, 🔵 Weekly, 🟣 Monthly)
🧭 Trading Applications:
POF Bias: Use POF as an evolving balance point. Price above = bullish lean, price below = bearish tilt
VAH/VAL Zones: Anticipate rejection or consolidation when price re-enters the value area. Use breakouts for continuation bias
Session Stack Confluence: When Daily, Weekly, and Monthly POFs cluster, it often signals strong interest zones and potential turning points
🧩 Use alongside your preferred price action, volume, or trend confirmation tools. This is not a signal-based system — it’s a contextual framework to help you align with market intent and structure.

Use Case Example:
Let’s say you’re trading a $50,000 prop account with a $2,000 max drawdown limit.
If you're using Intraday Drawdown:
• You start the day at $50,000.
• During the day, your balance grows to $51,000 (including unrealized profits).
• The drawdown logic will trail this intraday high — so your new max loss limit becomes $49,000 (51K - 2K).
• If your balance drops to $49,400, this tool will show you’re $400 away from breaching the limit.
• Sizing suggestions will adjust accordingly to keep you in a safe range.
If you're using End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown:
• The same scenario (account grows to $51,000 intraday) won’t affect your max loss limit immediately.
• EOD drawdown is only updated based on your end-of-day closing balance.
• So even if you hit $51K intraday, your max loss limit still remains at $48,000 (50K - 2K) until the trading day closes and updates your best equity.
• This mode offers more flexibility during the day — and the tool reflects this in how it calculates distances and sizing.
📌 It will then suggest a conservative sizing range — maybe 5–10% of your allowed contract size — until you're safer again.
📌 Make sure you update your current balance after each trade and follow your risk settings.
Inputs Explained (with Tips):
• Overall Account Starting Balance: Your full prop account size (e.g., 50000 or 100000, 150000, 300000, so on)
• Day Start Balance: What your balance was when the trading day started
• Daily Max Loss: How much you’re allowed to lose in one day (used only for EOD drawdown)
• Daily Profit Target: Your goal for the day (e.g., 500 or 1000 or so on)
• Allowed Overall Drawdown: Usually 4% for prop firms — like 2000 on 50K, or 6000 on 300K
• Drawdown Mode:
→ Intraday: Includes floating/unrealized profits in drawdown logic
→ EOD: Uses only end-of-day equity for drawdown logic
• Best Day High: Your highest balance to date. If not above your starting balance, this is ignored
• Intraday High (Manual): Optional override if your peak balance isn’t same as equity (used only for intraday drawdown mode)
• Current Equity: Update this during the session to reflect your live balance — everything else updates automatically
What You’ll See on the Chart:
🟩 Equity Section: Start balance, current balance, intraday high, best day high
🟥 Risk Section:
• Max loss limit (based on trailing logic)
• Distance from current balance to that limit
• Daily loss limit and distance (EOD mode only)
🟦 Performance Metrics:
• Daily P&L in $ and %
• Progress to profit target (shows ✅ Accomplished when goal is hit)
📦 Sizing Suggestion:
Based on how close you are to a drawdown breach, and your total drawdown tier.
Ranges from ⚠️ 5–10% to ✅ 40–50% of your max allowed contract size.
Who It's Best For:
• Built and optimized for 50K prop firm accounts
• Works well with 100K, 150K, or even 300K — but the sizing logic is most precise at 50K
• Best suited for futures or forex prop firm traders using account challenge-style rules
Manual Input Required:
Due to TradingView limitations, we cannot read your actual trades or live balance.
You'll need to update the Current Equity field yourself — but the rest is auto-calculated from there.
Most inputs (like overall balance and drawdown) are set once and rarely changed.

Quarterly Cycle Theory with DST time AdjustedThe Quarterly Theory removes ambiguity, as it gives specific time-based reference points to look for when entering trades. Before being able to apply this theory to trading, one must first understand that time is fractal:
Yearly Quarters = 4 quarters of three months each.
Monthly Quarters = 4 quarters of one week each.
Weekly Quarters = 4 quarters of one day each (Monday - Thursday). Friday has its own specific function.
Daily Quarters = 4 quarters of 6 hours each = 4 trading sessions of a trading day.
Sessions Quarters = 4 quarters of 90 minutes each.
90 Minute Quarters = 4 quarters of 22.5 minutes each.
Yearly Cycle: Analogously to financial quarters, the year is divided in four sections of three months each:
Q1 - January, February, March.
Q2 - April, May, June (True Open, April Open).
Q3 - July, August, September.
Q4 - October, November, December.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (daily candles) — Monthly Cycle.
Monthly Cycle: Considering that we have four weeks in a month, we start the cycle on the first month’s Monday (regardless of the calendar Day):
Q1 - Week 1: first Monday of the month.
Q2 - Week 2: second Monday of the month (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Week 3: third Monday of the month.
Q4 - Week 4: fourth Monday of the month.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (4 hour candles) — Weekly Cycle.
Weekly Cycle: Daye determined that although the trading week is composed by 5 trading days, we should ignore Friday, and the small portion of Sunday’s price action:
Q1 - Monday.
Q2 - Tuesday (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Wednesday.
Q4 - Thursday.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (1 hour candles) — Daily Cycle.
Daily Cycle: The Day can be broken down into 6 hour quarters. These times roughly define the sessions of the trading day, reinforcing the theory’s validity:
Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00 Asia.
Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00 London (True Open).
Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00 NY AM.
Q4 - 12:00 - 18:00 NY PM.

S&P 500 E-mini Futures (30 second candles) — 22.5 Minute Cycle.
SMC+The "SMC+" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to overlay key Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, support/resistance zones, order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and trap detection on your TradingView chart. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.
Rachas ATR AssistHey Traders!
This indicator is a simple, it uses Average True Range (ATR) data from the daily chart and the current timeframe to estimate potential range and volatility.
This indicator compares the daily ATR to the current daily wick range (from low to high), helping you gauge how much "room" might be left for price movement within the day. Alongside that, it shows the ATR over the last 14 candles and 5 candles on your current chart for intraday volatility awareness—ideal for setting stops, targets, or position sizing.
Gauge Daily Potential Movement:
The "Day Range Difference" cell shows how much of the expected daily range (based on ATR) is still unfilled. If the market has moved less than the average, there's still potential for expansion. If it's close to or above the ATR, expect a slowdown or reversal.
Position Sizing & Stop Losses:
Use the 14-period ATR and 5-period ATR on your current timeframe to understand recent volatility. This helps in choosing logical stop loss levels and adjusting position sizes based on market conditions.
Volatility Awareness:
Knowing the average daily range and how much of it has been used lets you avoid entering trades too late in the move or placing stops in overly tight spots.
Table Position & Font:
You can adjust the table location (top/bottom left/right) and font size to best fit your chart layout.
