Average True Range OverlayPlots ATR calculated on a daily basis as an overlay on the current chart.
Implemented using the builtin atr function.
ATR is a volatility indicator
originally developed by J. Welles Wilder, Jr. for commodities:
New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. Greensboro, NC: Trend Research. ISBN 978-0-89459-027-6.
The range of a day's trading is simply R = high − low.
The true range extends it to yesterday's closing price if it was outside of today's range:
TR = max
The average true range is an N-day smoothed moving average of the TR values.
A first stab at a sensible stop loss level might be 3*ATR below recent peak.

Market Meanness Index-Price ChangesThis is the Market Mean index. It is used to identify if the market is really trending or if it is range bound(random). In theory, a random sample will be mean reverting 75% of the time. This indicator checks to see what how much the market is mean reverting and converts it to a percentage. If the index is around 75 or higher than the price curve of the market is range bound and there is no trend from a statistical standpoint. If the index is below 75 this means the price curve of the market is in fact trending in a direction as the market is not reverting as much as it should if it were truly following a random/range bound price curve.
Pivot Range Pivot BossMy first attempt to code something. It's Mark Fischer concept of Pivot Range from his book Logical Trader.
The strategy for using it is actually from Frank Ochoa's book Secrets of a Pivot Boss. Pivot Range is the "meat of the matket" and "the heart beat of the market" according to him.
Besides using the actual pivots the strategy is based on the relationships between 2 day pivot ranges.

How to use this indicator:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Notes:
These indicators are available as oscillators to place under your chart through trading view but this indicator will place them on the chart in numerical only format.

RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman) is a hybrid momentum and volatility visualization tool that blends enhanced RSI interpretation with ADX-driven consolidation detection. This indicator doesn't just show where RSI is trending — it interprets how strong that trend is, when that strength changes, and where the market may be consolidating in anticipation of breakout movement.
Using a combination of Kalman-filtered RSI, custom-built DMI/ADX, and low-volatility zone recognition, it gives traders a dynamic RSI with strength-based coloring, while also highlighting consolidation zones to spot breakout opportunities.
█ Its uniqueness
Traditional RSI indicators lack context. They may show you when the market is overbought or oversold, but they won’t tell you how strong that condition is, or whether it’s likely to result in continuation or consolidation.
This tool aims to solve that by introducing adaptive strength metrics and structural compression zones, allowing traders to anticipate when the market is likely preparing for a move.
█ How It Works
⚪ Enhanced RSI
Combines traditional RSI and a custom RSI implementation
Smooths both through a Kalman filter for trend direction
Final RSI line reflects smoothed consensus between manual and built-in RSI
Adds an RSI + Strength overlay to show when the directional conviction is increasing
⚪ ADX-Driven Strength Layer
Directional Movement Index (DMI) is calculated both manually and with built-in smoothing
The average ADX value is used to calculate a strength modifier
When ADX exceeds 20, RSI is dynamically enhanced or dampened to reflect directional force
Resulting visual: RSI appears stronger or weaker based on confirmed trend conditions
⚪ Consolidation Zone Detection
When ADX falls below 20, the indicator enters a consolidation zone state
Boxes are drawn dynamically to contain the price within these low-volatility structures
Once the price breaks out of the zone, the indicator plots a breakout signal (▲ or ▼)
⚪ Breakouts
Breakout markers are placed at the first close outside the consolidation box
These signals serve as early indicators for potential trend continuation or reversal
█ How to Use
⚪ Confirm Momentum Strength
Use the RSI + Strength line to determine whether current momentum is backed by trend conviction. If strength expands alongside rising RSI, the move has confirmation.
⚪ Consolidations Zones
When RSI is around the midline, and a consolidation box appears, expect lower volatility and a range-bound market, followed by a breakout.
⚪ Use Breakout Signals for Entry
Look for ▲ or ▼ markers as early triggers. These often coincide with volume expansions or structural breaks.
█ Settings Explained
RSI Length – Number of bars used for RSI. Shorter = more sensitive.
DMI Length – Used in both custom and built-in ADX/DI calculations.
ADX Smoothing – Smooths the trend strength signal. Higher values = smoother strength detection.
Trend Confirmation (Filter Strength) – Adjusts the responsiveness of the Kalman filter.

John M Oscillator with Zero-Cross Range ScalingThis oscillator tries to measure momentum by comparing the current price to the Heikin Ashi open price, then scales that signal based on how much the price has moved since the last time the signal crossed zero. This makes the strength of the move relative to the recent market activity, which can help identify overbought/oversold zones more adaptively than traditional oscillators.
Helps you spot trend shifts early by watching for zero crossings.
The scaling helps you judge if the trend is weak or strong, instead of just relying on absolute price movement.
Ideal for momentum-based entries/exits, divergence spotting, and avoiding fakeouts.
Components:
1. Heikin Ashi Values:
- Heikin Ashi open is the average of the previous period's open and close.
- Heikin Ashi close is the average of the current period's open, high, low, and close.
2. Basic Oscillator Calculation:
- Calculated by subtracting the Heikin Ashi open from the current close price.
3. Smoothing:
- An EMA is applied to the basic oscillator value for noise reduction.
4. Zero-Cross Range Scaling:
- Identifies the range between the last two zero crossings.
- Finds the largest candle range (High to Low) within this zero-cross range.
- Scales the oscillator as a percentage of this largest range.
5. Color Coding:
- The oscillator plot is green when positive and red when negative.
6. Reference Lines:
- Horizontal lines are drawn at -100, -80, -70, -50, 0, 50, 70, 80, and 100 for reference.
Use Case:
This oscillator helps traders identify trends and momentum with a percentage scale based on recent price action. The scaling provides a view of the oscillator's strength relative to the most significant price movement since the last trend change, making it easier to identify potential reversals or trend continuations

First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

Opening Range BoxIndicator Name: Opening Range Box with Extensions
Author: YanivBull
Description:
The Opening Range Box with Extensions is a powerful tool designed to visualize the trading range established during the first 30 minutes of a market session, a critical period for setting the day's trend. This indicator plots a box representing the high and low prices formed within this opening range, with dashed extension lines projecting these levels forward throughout the session.
Its primary purpose is to identify the boundaries of the initial trend at the start of trading. When these boundaries are breached, it serves as a trigger for potential trading opportunities: a breakout above the box high signals a possible long entry, while a breakdown below the box low indicates a potential short entry. The indicator also includes historical boxes for up to 5 previous days (configurable), allowing traders to analyze past opening ranges and their extensions for context and pattern recognition.
Key Features:
Customizable session start time (hour and minute) to adapt to various markets (e.g., NYSE, DAX, etc.).
Displays the current session's opening range box in blue and historical boxes in gray.
Plots dashed extension lines from the high and low of each box, limited to 500 bars or the end of the trading day.
Adjustable number of historical days (1-20, default 5).
Usage:
Set the Session Start Hour and Session Start Minute according to your market's opening time (relative to your chart's timezone, e.g., UTC+2). Watch for price action around the box boundaries—breakouts above the high or below the low can be used as signals for initiating long or short trades, respectively. Combine with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
This indicator is ideal for day traders looking to capitalize on early session momentum and breakout strategies.

CandelaCharts - OHLC Macro Range Map 📝 Overview
Elevate your candlestick analysis with the OHLC Macro Range Map!
Unlike conventional OHLC charts, this advanced indicator weaves Inner Circle Trader (ICT) principles into its design, helping you decode accumulation, manipulation, and distribution patterns—candle by candle.
ICT traders recognize manipulation through wicks that extend against the candle’s closing direction—a deliberate move to mislead participants into unfavorable positions. These deceptive movements often hint at market manipulation phases. By decoding these subtle signals, traders can anticipate the distribution phase of a candle, where price action reveals potential liquidity targets, retracement zones, and key reversal points.
These levels offer valuable insights into order flow, revealing how price interacts with them and the sequence of movements within the market.
To enhance price analysis, the tool also monitors the average duration of manipulation and distribution phases. By blending historical timing patterns with key price levels associated with these phases, traders can conduct deeper analyses and fine-tune their strategies for better decision-making.
Although grounded in historical data, this indicator does not promise that past patterns will replicate in future market conditions. Instead, it provides a data-driven framework to identify moments when candles are likely to reverse after manipulation phases or retrace following completed distributions. This empowers traders to pinpoint potential market turning points with greater accuracy.

CandelaCharts - OHLC Session Range Map 📝 Overview
Master the art of candlestick analysis with the OHLC Session Range Map!
Enhance your TradingView strategies by incorporating this advanced tool for actionable insights. Far beyond standard OHLC visuals, this innovative indicator integrates Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts to analyze accumulation, manipulation, and distribution, one candle at a time.
ICT traders identify manipulation through wicks that extend opposite the candle’s close—a tactic designed to mislead market participants into taking positions in the "wrong" direction. These movements often signify potential manipulation phases. By interpreting these signals, traders can anticipate a candle’s distribution phase, where the price expands to higher or lower levels. This provides valuable insights into liquidity targets, retracement zones, and potential reversals.
These levels provide critical insights into order flow, illustrating how price interacts with them and the sequence in which it unfolds.
To refine price analysis further, the tool also tracks the average timing for the completion of manipulation and distribution phases. By combining historical timing patterns with price levels tied to these phases, traders can perform more in-depth analyses and enhance their market strategies.
While rooted in historical data, this indicator does not guarantee that past patterns will repeat in future market conditions. Instead, it offers a data-driven approach to identifying moments when candles are likely to reverse after manipulation phases or retrace following completed distributions, enabling traders to spot potential turning points with greater precision.

1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.

Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
Best Range (Day Trading)The indicator is based on a formula very similar to that of the ATR. The average volatility of the last candles (a value adjustable via inputs) is calculated, and this value is then divided (a value adjustable via inputs), providing a specific value in terms of RANGE .
Its use is very straightforward. It was primarily designed for stock indices (Nasdaq & SPX). When used on the DAILY timeframe, it provides the recommended RANGE value for day trading with structural logic.
Its goal is to offer a guiding value for setting the chart to a range-based view that is optimal and as effective as possible in identifying breakouts of specific levels , helping traders avoid false breakouts or misleading structures.
We can also observe a division of levels into quartiles (25, 50, 75, 100, 125...). This helps provide reference ranges, allowing the range to be used with rounded numbers .
For example, on Nasdaq , if the indicator set on DAILY provides a value between 200 and 250, then it is advisable to visualize the chart at 200 RANGE for a more aggressive approach or at 250 RANGE for a more conservative approach.
On SPX , which is less volatile, we use increments of 25. If the indicator gives a value between 25 and 50 , then we use 25 for an aggressive approach and 50 for a conservative approach.
Obviously, this refers to FUTURES and the tick movements of MINI contracts.
