Open Interest Profile [Fixed Range] - By LeviathanThis script generates an aggregated Open Interest profile for any user-selected range and provides several other features and tools, such as OI Delta Profile, Positive Delta Levels, OI Heatmap, Range Levels, OIWAP, POC and much more.
The indicator will help you find levels of interest based on where other market participants are opening and closing their positions. This provides a deeper insight into market activity and serves as a foundation for various different trading strategies (trapped traders, supply and demand, support and resistance, liquidity gaps, imbalances,liquidation levels, etc). Additionally, this indicator can be used in conjunction with other tools such as Volume Profile.
Open Interest (OI) is a key metric in derivatives markets that refers to the total number of unsettled or open contracts. A contract is a mutual agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price. Each contract consists of a long side and a short side, with one party consenting to buy (long) and the other agreeing to sell (short). The party holding the long position will profit from an increase in the asset's price, while the one holding the short position will profit from the price decline. Every long position opened requires a corresponding short position by another market participant, and vice versa. Although there might be an imbalance in the number of accounts or traders holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains balanced at a 1:1 ratio. For instance, an Open Interest of 100 BTC implies that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There might be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer on the other side with larger positions, but the net value of positions on both sides is equivalent - 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario where a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of $30k. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing a short order for 1 BTC at the same price of $30k. When both long and short orders are matched and executed, the Open Interest increases by 1 BTC, indicating the introduction of this new contract to the market.
The meaning of fluctuations in Open Interest:
- OI Increase - signifies new positions entering the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Decrease - indicates positions exiting the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Flat - represents no change in open positions due to low activity or a large number of contract transfers (contracts changing hands instead of being closed).
Typically, we monitor Open Interest in the form of its running value, either on a chart or through OI Delta histograms that depict the net change in OI for each price bar. This indicator enhances Open Interest analysis by illustrating the distribution of changes in OI on the price axis rather than the time axis (akin to Volume Profiles). While Volume Profile displays the volume that occurred at a given price level, the Open Interest Profile offers insight into where traders were opening and closing their positions.

Supply and Demand Visible Range [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator displays areas & levels on the user's chart for the visible range using a novel volume-based method. The script also makes use of intra-bar data to create precise Supply & Demand zones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas and levels displayed by the script are aimed at providing potential supports/resistances for users. The script's behavior makes it recalculate each time the visible chart interval/range changes, as such this script is more suited as a descriptive tool.
Price reaching a supply (upper) area that might have been tested a few times might be indicative of a potential reversal down, while price reaching a demand (lower) area that might have been tested a few times could be indicative of a potential reversal up.
The width of each area can also indicate which areas are more liquid, with thinner areas indicating more significant liquidity.
The user can control the width of each area using the Threshold % setting, with a higher setting returning wider areas. The precision setting can also return wider supply/demand areas if very low values are used and has the benefit of improving the script execution time at the cost of precision.
The Supply and Demand Zones indicator returns various levels. The solid-colored levels display the average of each area, while dashed colored lines display the weighted averages of each area. These weighted averages can highlight more liquid price levels within the supply/demand areas.
Central solid/dashed lines display the average between the areas' averages and weighted averages.
🔶 DETAILS
Each supply/demand area is constructed from volume data. The calculation is done as follows:
The accumulated volume within the chart visible range is calculated.
The chart visible range is divided into N bins of equal width (where N is the resolution setting)
Calculation start from the highest visible range price value for the supply area, and lowest value for the demand area.
The volume within each bin after the starting calculation level is accumulated, once this accumulated volume is equal or exceed the threshold value ( p % of the total visible range volume) the area is set.
Each bin volume accumulation within an area is displayed on the left, this can help indicate how fast volume accumulates within an area.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
The script execution time is dependent on all of the script's settings, using more demanding settings might return errors so make sure to be aware of the potential scenarios that might make the script exceed the allowed execution time:
Having a chart's visible range including a high number of bars.
Using a high number of bins (high resolution value) will increase computation time, this can be worsened by using a high threshold %.
Using very low intra-bar timeframe can drastically increase computation time but can also simply throw an error if the chart timeframe is high.
Users facing issues can lower the resolution value or use the chart timeframe for intra-bar data.
Grid Range Volatility BasedThis TradingView Pine script implements a grid range volatility based indicator that displays dynamic horizontal lines on the chart. The lines are calculated based on the average true range (ATR) of the security being plotted, and the range can be adjusted using an input parameter. The distance between the top and bottom lines is displayed as a percentage in a dynamic label that updates with each new bar.
The script allows the user to choose whether to use red or black lines, and also provides options to set the number of days for range calculations, and the calculation type (either ATR(1) or ATR(x)). The script is designed to work with stocks, forex, and other securities that have price data.
To use this script, simply attach it to a chart and adjust the input parameters to suit your analysis needs. The dynamic lines and percentage label will be displayed on the chart, providing a visual representation of the range volatility of the security being plotted. The values of the highest and lowest lines can also be displayed as labels on the price axis, providing additional context for the range volatility.
Average True Range PercentWhen writing the Quickfingers Luc base scanner (Marvin) script, I wanted a measure of volatility that would be comparable between charts. The traditional Average True Range (ATR) indicator calculates a discrete number providing the average true range of that chart for a specified number of periods. The ATR is not comparable across different price charts.
Average True Range Percent (ATRP) measures the true range for the period, converts it to a percentage using the average of the period's range ((high + low) / 2) and then smooths the percentage. The ATRP provides a measure of volatility that is comparable between charts showing their relative volatility.
Enjoy.
CPR - Central Pivot Range (by Alex L.)CPR or Central Pivot Range is a tool for identifying a trend, its volatility and its future targets for the price levels (in up or down directions).
What this indicator offers:
- Main purpose of this indicator is to display levels of support/resistance in a given trend as potentially good levels of entering into position or existing from a position. Entry levels are RED, resistance levels are in GREEN.
- You have the ability to view daily, weekly, monthly pivot levels, depending on what kind of trader you are.
- Unique to this indicator - you have the ability to view YEARLY pivot levels.
- Unique to this indicator - you have the "Pivots History" option to either show all history or just the recent piriod to make your chart clean of "noise".
- Unique to this indicator - you can view "future" pivot levels based on current price.
- You have the ability to view "future pivots" which can be useful as entry or exit levels for the current trend.
- You have the ability to view one, two, three or four pivor levels concurrently depending on how much information you want on your chart.
- You have the option to use "Compact View" to further reduce "noise" and make your chart event more clean.
- Open source.
Some guidelines:
- When current Central Pivot Range is higher than previous Central Pivot Range then the stock is in an uptrend and vice versa.
- Wide Central Pivot Range usually means the stock is in a "sideways trend" and volatility is low.
- Tight Central Pivot Range usually means the stock has a very low volatility and is about to explode (up or down). Switching to a higher timeframe can often give hints to what direction the stock is likely to go.
Default settings:
- Pivot Levels : "Two Pivot Levels"
- Filter/Hide Pivots: "Hide Pivot+BC+TC"
- Pivots History: "Few Months Back"
'V' Show Monthly Pivots
'V' Show Future Pivots
Calculations of pivot levels formula is according to book "Secrets of a Pivot Boss" by Franklin O. Ochoa.
Quote from the book: "The way to make money is to make it. The way to make big money is to be right at exactly the right time."

Simple RangeThe daily price range is a good proxy to judge an instrument’s volatility. I have combined multiple concepts in this indicator to display information regarding the daily price range & its volatility.
A trading period's range is simply the difference between its high and the low. This script shows the daily high-to-low range of the price as a column chart. It has 3 main components:
1. Narrow-range days (NR7) & Wide-range Days (WR20) - as plot columns
Original concept from Thomas Bulkowski
Modified from "NR4 & NR7 Indicator" script by theapextrader7
Modified from "WR - BC Identifier" script by wrpteam2020
Narrow range days mark price contractions that often precede price expansions. This script uses NR7 (narrow range 7) as a narrow-range day. This value can be changed by the user if, instead of an NR7, he or she wishes to use NR4 or NR21, or any other interval of his or her choice. NR7 is an indecisive trading day in which the range is narrower than any of the previous six days (a total of 7 days). This is a popular concept given by Thomas Bulkowski. A breakout is said to occur when price closes above the top or below the bottom of the NR7. Upside breakout of an NR 7 candle with high volumes indicates bullishness.
Similarly, highs & lows of wide-range bars (on big volumes) are also significant reference levels for price. Wide-range candle are identified by size of the body candle (open - close). The script compares the size of previous 20 candles to identify WR20 candles. This value can also be changed by the user.
The script shows NR7 & WR20 as orange & blue bars, respectively.
The user can also turn on the option to identify a big high-to-low range candle greater than a pre-defined threshold (default is 5%). These show up as green or red bars.
2. TTM Squeeze - as background
Original concept from John Carter's book "Mastering the Trade"
Based on "Squeeze Momentum Indicator" script by LazyBear
John Carter’s TTM Squeeze indicator looks at the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels to help identify period of volatility contractions. Bollinger Bands being completely enclosed within the Keltner Channels is indicative of a very low volatility. This is a state of volatility contraction known as squeeze. Using different ATR lengths (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) for Keltner Channels, we can differentiate between levels of squeeze (High, Mid & Low compression, respectively). Greater the compression, higher the potential for explosive moves.
In the script, the High, Mid & Low compression squeezes are depicted via the background color being red, orange, or yellow, respectively.
3. Average Daily Range - as table
Original idea by alpine_trader
Modified from "ADR% - Average Daily Range % by MikeC" script by TheScrutiniser
Average Day Range (ADR) tells how much the price moves between the high and low on a given day. This is the day Range, which is then averaged to create ADR. The script uses an average of the last 20 days to calculate the ADR. Unlike ATR (Average True Range), this excludes Gaps.
The script displays the ADR as a % value in a table.
If you want to find stocks that move a lot on an average on most days, then look for stocks that have ADR% of 5% or more.
If you prefer lower volatility stocks, focus on stocks with lower ADR% values, such as 2% or less.
How it comes together
For a bullish "momentum burst", or a velocity trade:
Select stocks with Average Day Range % (ADR) greater than 5
Identify significant reference price levels via highs & lows of WR20 bars (on big volumes)
Wait for a decent mid-to-high compression squeeze
Look for clusters of NR7 candles in the consolidation
Any breakout from this consolidation should be accompanied by more than average (preferably pocket pivot) volumes
Opening Range, Initial Balance, Opening PriceThis script draws Opening Range, Initial Balance and Opening Price with options to show mid levels.
By default, lines changes color depending on whether closing price is above or below the lines. Red if price is below, green if price is above.
Colors and line styles are all configurable.
Options to change label positions.
Some definitions:
Opening Range - The opening range is high and low for a given period after the market opens. This period is generally the first 30 or 60 minutes of trading
Initial Balance - WRT to TPO profile chart, the Initial Balance is the price range resulting from the market’s trade during the first two 30 minute periods of the regular trading hours session.
Why is this useful?
The first hour of the trading day is the most active and dynamic period. The price range defined by this period of trading creates some key support / resistance levels for the rest of the day. Example below:
Time Range Bar PatternThis will show candle pattern in separate window to maintain candle pattern and candle's shape consistently (as in big trading range, candle is much smaller and in small trading range, candle is much bigger)
There are 4 parameters:
- Bull color and bear color - clear enough
- Candle Time Range - you can input time range you desire (remember you need to set the value based on chart time as well, for example if M5, then the time range need to be in M5 time range)
- First Candle Time Range - need your help to input the first candle time range for easier calculation and visual (remember you need to set the value based on chart time as well, for example if M5, then the time range of first candle should be in 5 minutes period)
(Quartile Vol.; Vol. Aggregation; Range US Bars; Gaps) [Kioseff]Hello!

Quartile Volume
The Quartile Volume portion of the script segments price/volume intervals by quartile.
The image above shows features of the indicator.
For statistics, the following metrics are recorded:
First Quartile
Second Quartile
Third Quartile
90th Percentile
Fourth Quartile
Q2 - Q1 Dispersion
Q3 - Q2 Dispersion
Q4 - Q3 Dispersion
Quartile Deviation
Interquartile Range
Color-coordinated price bars (by volume quartiles)
The percent rank for the volume of the current bar
Avg. "n" bar return following "high" volume
Avg. "n" bar positive return following "high" volume
Avg. "n" bar negative following "high" volume
The script colors bars via gradient.
By default, bars are colored lime when volume for the interval is "high" (exceeds upper quartile thresholds). The greener the bar, the higher the volume for the interval.
Bars are colored red when volume for the interval is "low" (fails to exceed lower quartile thresholds). The redder the bar, the lower the volume for the interval.
Naturally, brownish-colored bars reflect a volume interval that concluded near the median.
The image above exemplifies the process. This feature might be useful to categorize / objectively define high-volume clusters, low-volume clusters, high-volume price moves, low-volume price moves, etc.
For greater precision, you can select to color bars by volume quartile they belong to.
The image above shows color-coordinated price bars. More details shown in the image.
Additionally, you can select to plot the quartile/percentile that a price bar belongs to on the chart.
The image above shows price bars numbered by the volume quartile they belong to.
The script will distinguish successive 90th percentile violations, superimpose a linear regression channel atop the data sequence, and record pertinent statistics.
The image above shows the process.
Lastly, the user can plot an anchored VWAP using a built-in time function.
The image above shows the anchored VWAP.
Range US Chart
A Range US chart operates irrespective of time and volume - simply - bars produce after a user-defined price move is achieved/exceeded in either direction. A range us chart produces “trend candles” and “reversal candles”. A reversal candle always moves against the most immediate bar; a trend candle always moves in favor of the most immediate bar. The user defines the dollar amount price must travel up/down for a trend candle to fulfill, and for a reversal candle to fulfill.
Note: if a “down reversal” candle (red) Is produced, it’s impossible for the next candle to also be a down reversal candle - for the downside move to continue the criteria for a down trend candle must be fulfilled. Similarly, if an “up reversal” candle (green) Is produced, it’s impossible for the next candle to also be an up reversal candle - for the upside move to continue, the criteria for an uptrend trend candle must be fulfilled. Consequently, Range US bars frequently trade at the same level for extended periods. This is intentional, as this chart type is theorized to “filter noise” (whether Range US charts fulfill this theory is to your discretion).
Lastly, if an up trend candle (green) is produced, the next candle cannot be up a reversal up candle - only a trend up candle or reversal down candle can produce - vice versa for a trend down candle (the subsequent candle cannot be a reversal down candle). In this sense, an uptrend continues on successive trend up candles; a down trend continues on successive trend down candles.
The image above exemplifies Range US chart functionality.
The lower-right stats table shows the requisite price move for a "Trend" candle to produce and for a "Reversal" candle to produce.
The default settings for this chart time automatically calculate the required "Trend" candle price move and the required "Reversal" candle price move. However, both settings are configurable.
The image above shows manually configured parameters for a trend bar and reversal bar to produce. This feature allows the user to replicate the Range US chart hosted on extrinsic charting platforms.
However, please consider that this script does not use tick data; 1-minute OHLC data is used for calculations.
Consequently, configuring the trend bar and reversal bar requirement too low may return inaccurate data. For instance, if you set trend candles to form after a $1 price move then trend candles will form if price moves up $1 from a green Range US bar or down $1 from a red Range US bar. This is sufficient for lower priced assets; however, if you were trading, for instance, Bitcoin - a $1 price move can happen numerous times in one minute. This script can’t plot bars and record data until a 1-minute bar closes and a new 1-minute bar opens. Further, if Bitcoin moves up $1 twenty times and down $1 twenty times in a 1-minute bar - your Range US chart will record such variations as one price move. This data is inaccurate and likely useless.
To counter this quandary, a warning message will appear if you configure trend bar price moves or reversal bar price moves too low.
The image above shows the concealable warning message.
The image above is a flow diagram (made with shaky hands) illustrating the Range US bar formation process.
A google search will return additional information on the Range US chart type.
Volume Aggregation Bars
TradingView user and member of the TradingView Discord server @ferreirajames informed me of the Volume Aggregation chart type. The user commented in the "Suggestions" channel for the TradingView Discord server asking for the Volume Aggregation chart type. As an interim fix, I tried my hand at recreating the process, which is available in this script.
Similar to the Range US chart type, Volume Aggregation bars aren’t bound to a time-axis; the bars form after a user-defined, cumulative amount of volume is achieved or exceeded. Consequently, once the cumulative amount of volume is achieved or exceeded - a bar is produced at the corresponding price level.
Underlying theory: The chat type is conducive to identifying price levels where traders are “trapped”. Whether the process adequately distinguishes this circumstance is to your discretion.
The image above exemplifies the Volume Aggregation chart type.
Regardless of the current price, Volume Aggregation bars for after a requisite amount of volume is achieved/exceeded. Tick data isn't used; therefore, remainder values are carry over.
By default, the script automatically calculates a proportional cumulative volume total to dictate the formation of Volume Aggregation bars. However, the cumulative threshold is configurable.
The image above shows Volume Aggregation bars forming subsequent a user-defined cumulative volume total being exceeded.
Note: This chart type uses OHLC data from the timeframe of your chart. Therefore, for instance, setting the volume threshold too low will produce inaccurate, useless data.
A warning message will appear for such occurrence.
Gaps
The indicator incorporates a "Gaps" chart type.
The image above shows accompanying features.
A list of all unfilled gaps is accessible - gaps for this list are sorted by distance from current price.
Partially filled gaps are displayed in the corresponding gap box - the percentage amount the gap was filled is also displayed.
Gap statistics show:
# of Gaps
# of Up Gaps
# of Down Gaps
Average # of bars to fill Up Gaps
Average # of bars to dill Down Gaps
Average Gap Up % increase
Average Gap Down % decrease
Cumulative % increase of all Up Gaps
Cumulative % decrease of all Down Gaps
Naturally, there may be gaps formed thousands of bars ago that aren't close to price. Showing these gaps on the chart will "scrunch" the y-axis and make prices indistinguishable.
I've added a setting that allows the user to hide gaps that are "n" % away from the current price. The gap, if unfilled, will reappear when price trades within the user-defined percentage.
The image above shows an example. There's an unfilled down gap that's "hidden" because the current price is a further % away from price than what I've specified in the settings (1%). When prices trade back within 1% of the gap - it will reappear.
The image above shows the process in action. Prices moved back within 1% (can be any %) of the gap; therefore, it reappeared on the chart.
You can also set the % distance a gap must achieve for it to be considered a gap, recorded and plotted. Additionally, you can select to "visualize" gaps. Similar to the Range US chart and the Volume Aggregation chart, this setting will bars reflecting the most recent sequence of gaps - date and percentage distance of the gap are superimposed atop the bar.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like included!
Note: The initial compilation time for this script is.... high. However, once the script's compiled, calculation load times are quick and you can sift through assets and timeframes relatively quick.
There's also a setting to "Improve Load Times" in the user-inputs table. This setting only improves the load times for post-compilation calculations and plots. The initial compilation load time is unchanged. Simply, once the indicator has "first loaded", all subsequent loads are quick.
Thank you! (:

CPR with Developing Pivot RangeThis Developing Pivot Range(DPR) made by Saravanan_Ragavan based on Pivot Boss Developing Pivot Range Concept. This indicator will show how the CPR is developing during the day. Also it shows how trend developing. range fills with green and widening in up trend, wise versa range fills with red and widening in down trend.
Pivot Boss described as following about this indicator:
The Developing Pivot Range (DPR) indicator dynamically calculates the central pivot range in real time as new data enters the market bar by bar. Essentially, this indicator allows you to see the “meat of the market” as the day’s trading activity is taking place. More importantly, however, the closing values for the indicator tell you where the central pivot range will be located for the following session, which paves the way for analyzing extremely important two-day pivot range relationships and key width characteristics. Having this information in advance allows us to prepare properly for the
upcoming session.
Note: Today Session end DPR become Tomorrow's CPR.
Hope this Helps you!
Fr3d0's Volume Profile Visible RangeLow level implementation
At the core of VPVR there’s a concept called “bucketization”.
Question : what is bucketization?
Answer : bucketization consists of identifying metrics with high predictive power and combine them appropriately.
I think this is a problem of bucketization because what the VPVR does is to take a price range, divide it into buckets and fill them up with the volume that was produced in each bucket’s range over the given period.
The more we divide our price range the finer the resolution, but also the less significant each bucket will become.
The steps are :
1. Get the price range with min and max over the give period;
2. Divide the range into buckets;
3. Loop over each candle of the given period and proportionally assign volume to one or more bucket.
Question : how to assign volume to buckets?
Answer : we need to calculate the right amount to add to each bucket for each candle. If 20% of a candle lies on a bucket then that bucket needs to have 20% of the volume of that candle, the rest 80% belongs to other buckets.
To get the percentage of a candle on a given bucket we have to find the price range of the candle contained within the bucket, then divide that amount by the entire length of the candle.
How to bucketize
Question : what are the formulas of A, B, C and Target respectively?
Answer :
- A = Max(candle_high, bucket_top) - Min(candle_low, bucket_bottom);
- B = Max(candle_high, bucket_top) - Min(candle_high, bucket_top);
- C = Max(candle_low, bucket_bottom) - Min(candle_low, bucket_bottom);
- Target = A - B - C.
Now that we now how to calculate the price range belonging to each bucket we need to calculate a percentage of volume to fill the bucket with.
The formula is trivially simple :
Volume * Target / (candle_high - candle_low).
Question : can we distinguish between buy volume and sell volume? If so, how?
Answer : yes we can and the following paragraph will teach you how.
Put it simply we can use the difference between the extremes of a candle (low and high) and its close price to get the buy and sell volumes.
The formulas for that are :
- Buy volume = Volume * (close - low) / (high - low);
- Sell volume = Volume * (high - close) / (high - low).
I know this is rather simplicistic but it makes sense.
Closing thoughts
This script is a working progress and I’m going to give more details if necessary, just let me know in the comments down below.
Multi Range VWAP PivotsMulti Range VWAP Pivots turned out to be one of my most accurate pivot indicators to date!
Multi Range VWAP Pivots works by recognizing the high and low of the timeframe selected (D, W, M, 6M, and 12M) and plotting range high to VWAP averages and range low to VWAP averages.
After further examination of each completed range, I came to the conclusion that due to the nature of averages, high and low respectively would need to be completed within the current range, for the averages to actually display pivots correctly. This means that if all averages appear to be "pivoting" correctly after or during a break lower of higher, then we can only assume the most recent break higher or lower could be exhaustion and price will be reverted to the mean (VWAP). OR, this could be the most accurate hindsight indicator on the planet.

Weekly Open Percent RangeA simple take on finding percentage gain/drop range in a week for ranging or trending market instrument.
This script is hard coded to plot 0 to 3%, -3% range for the week base on instrument weekly open price.
Best to use with measured volatility indicator to gauge the movement of price. Anytime the price goes above the range level then it is likely to be trending. Highly volatile instruments will not find this indicator useful. It is best for heavy instruments like Forex or Indices where range % in a week in a non-volatile move is really quite small that these act as resistances and support.
Range Levels:
3%
2.5%
2%
1.5%
1%
0.75%
0.5%
0.25%
0%
-.25%
-.5%
-.75%
-1%
-1.5%
-2%
-2.5%
-3%
The next step for this indicator is to consider volatility range of instrument and to include this in the percentage zone levels instead of hard coding these.
ASFX EMAs, ADR, Asian Range, and Pivot PointsThis indicator combines the essential indicators that ASFX traders use, including the EMAs (8, 21, 50, 200, 800), the Average Daily Range, the Asian Range, and the Pivot Points.
The EMAs should be used as dynamic supports and resistances. We could use it to find entries like when there is a bullish engulfing coming off the 21 EMA.
The Average Daily Range tells us the how many pips the pair moves on average. We could use it to measure risk/reward ratios or see it as another resistance.
The Asian Range is displayed as two lines indicating the Asian Session's High and Low. This could help us to determine whether the pair is ready for a breakout. We might avoid setups that are still in the Asian Range as the pair might still be indecisive.
The Pivot Points are also another form of support and resistance which are calculated using the previous day's data. The Pivot Points displayed in this indicator only include the Pivot, R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3. (R4, R5, S4, S5 are not included)
All of these indicators should give us a read of the trend. If the EMAs are beautifully fanned out with the 8 EMA on the top and the 800 EMA on the bottom and the price is above the Asian Range and the Pivot, we might keep an eye for a long entry.

It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
STRATEGY DEFAULT SETTINGS EXPLANATION
max_bars_back=5000 : This is a random number of bars so that the strategy test lasts for one or two years
calc_on_order_fills=false : To wait for the 4h closing is too much. Try to check if it's worth entering a position after closing one. I finally decided not to recheck if it's worth entering after an order is closed. So it is false.
calc_on_every_tick=false
pyramiding=0 : We only want one entry allowed in the same direction. And we don't want the order to scale by error.
initial_capital=1000 : These are 1000 USDT. By using 1% maximum loss per trade and 7% as a default stop loss by using 1000 USDT at 12000 USDT per BTC price you would entry with around 142 USDT which are converted into: 0.010 BTC . The maximum number of decimal for contracts on this BTCUSDT market is 3 decimals. E.g. the minimum might be: 0.001 BTC . So, this minimal 1000 amount ensures us not to entry with less than 0.001 entries which might have happened when using 100 USDT as an initial capital.
slippage=1 : Binance BTCUSDT mintick is: 0.01. Binance slippage: 0.1 % (Let's assume). TV has an integer slippage. It does not have a percentage based slippage. If we assume a 1000 initial capital, the recommended equity is 142 which at 11996 USDT per BTC price means: 0.011 BTC. The 0.1% slippage of: 0.011 BTC would be: 0.000011 . This is way smaller than the mintick. So our slippage is going to be 1. E.g. 1 (slippage) * 0.01 (mintick)
commission_type=strategy.commission.percent and commission_value=0.1 : According to: binance . com / en / fee / schedule in VIP 0 level both maker and taker fees are: 0.1 %.
BACKGROUND
Jaime Merino is a well known Youtuber focused on crypto trading
His channel TradingLatino
features monday to friday videos where he explains his strategy.
JAIME MERINO STANCE ON BOTS
Jaime Merino stance on bots (taken from memory out of a 2020 June video from him):
'~
You know. They can program you a bot and it might work.
But, there are some special situations that the bot would not be able to handle.
And, I, as a human, I would handle it. And the bot wouldn't do it.
~'
My long term target with this strategy script is add as many
special situations as I can to the script
so that it can match Jaime Merino behaviour even in non normal circumstances.
My alternate target is learn Pine script
and enjoy programming with it.
WARNING
This script might be bigger than other TradingView scripts.
However, please, do not be confused because the current status is beta.
This script has not been tested with real money.
This is NOT an official strategy from Jaime Merino.
This is NOT an official strategy from TradingLatino . net .
HOW IT WORKS
It basically uses ADX slope and LazyBear's Squeeze Momentum Indicator
to make its buy and sell decisions.
Fast paced EMA being bigger than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going long.
Fast paced EMA being smaller than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going short.
It finally add many substrats that TradingLatino uses.

____ SETTINGS - Volume Profile
Lowest and highest VPoC from last three days
is used to know if an entry has a support
VPVR of last 100 4h bars
is also taken into account
(VP) Use number of bars (not VP timeframe): Uses 'Number of bars {100}' setting instead of 'Volume Profile timeframe' setting for calculating session VPoC
(VP) Show tick difference from current price {False}: BETA . Might be useful for actions some day.
(VP) Number of bars {100}: If 'Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' is turned on this setting is used to calculate session VPoC.
(VP) Volume Profile timeframe {1 day}: If 'Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' is turned off this setting is used to calculate session VPoC.
(VP) Row width multiplier {0.6}: Adjust how the extra Volume Profile bars are shown in the chart.
(VP) Resistances prices number of decimal digits : Round Volume Profile bars label numbers so that they don't have so many decimals.
(VP) Number of bars for bottom VPOC {18}: 18 bars equals 3 days in suggested timeframe of 4 hours. It's used to calculate lowest session VPoC from previous three days. It's also used as a top VPOC for sells.
(VP) Ignore VPOC bottom advice on long {False}: If turned on it ignores bottom VPOC (or top VPOC on sells) when evaluating if a buy entry is worth it.
(VP) Number of bars for VPVR VPOC {100}: Number of bars to calculate the VPVR VPoC. We use 100 as Jaime once used. When the price bounces back to the EMA55 it might just bounce to this VPVR VPoC if its price it's lower than the EMA55 (Sells have inverse algorithm).
____ SETTINGS - ADX Slope
ADX Slope
help us to understand if ADX
has a positive slope, negative slope
or it is rather still.
(ADXSLOPE) ADX cut {23}: If ADX value is greater than this cut (23) then ADX has strength
(ADXSLOPE) ADX minimum steepness entry {45}: ADX slope needs to be 45 degrees to be considered as a positive one.
(ADXSLOPE) ADX minimum steepness exit {45}: ADX slope needs to be -45 degrees to be considered as a negative one.
(ADXSLOPE) ADX steepness periods {3}: In order to avoid false detection the slope is calculated along 3 periods.
____ SETTINGS - Next to EMA55
(NEXTEMA55) EMA10 to EMA55 bounce back percentage {80}: EMA10 might bounce back to EMA55 or maybe to 80% of its complete way to EMA55
(NEXTEMA55) Next to EMA55 percentage {15}: How much next to the EMA55 you need to be to consider it's going to bounce back upwards again.
____ SETTINGS - Stop Loss and Take Profit

(STRAT) Type Strategy: 'Long and Short', 'Long Only' or 'Short Only'. Default: 'Long and Short'.
____ SETTINGS - Risk Management
(RISKM) Risk Management Type: 'Safe', 'Somewhat safe compound' or 'Unsafe compound'. ' Safe ': Calculations are always done with the initial capital (1000) in mind. The maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are taken into account. ' Somewhat safe compound ': Calculations are done with initial capital (1000) or a higher capital if it increases. The maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are taken into account. ' Unsafe compound ': In each order all the current capital is gambled and only the default stop loss per order is taken into account. That means that the maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are not taken into account. Default : 'Somewhat safe compound'.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per trade % {1.0}.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per day % {6.0}.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per week % {8.0}.

(SQZDIVER) Show desviation lines {False}: Whether to show or not desviation lines for the Squeeze Momentum Divergences.
EXTRA 3 - VOLUME PROFILE indicator
WARNING: This indicator works not on current bar but on previous bar. So in the worst case it might be VP from 4 hours ago. Don't worry, inside the strategy calculus the correct values are used. It's just that I cannot show the most recent one in the chart.
(VP) Print recent profile {False}: Show Volume Profile indicator
(VP) Avoid label price overlaps {False}: Avoid label prices to overlap on the chart.
EXTRA 4 - ZIGNALY SUPPORT
(ZIG) Zignaly Alert Type {Email}: 'Email', 'Webhook'. ' Email ': Prepare alert_message variable content to be compatible with zignaly expected email content format. ' Webhook ': Prepare alert_message variable content to be compatible with zignaly expected json content format.
EXTRA 5 - DEBUG
(DEBUG) Enable debug on order comments {False}: If set to true it prepares the order message to match the alert_message variable. It makes easier to debug what would have been sent by email or webhook on each of the times an order is triggered.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
BOT MODE: This is the default setting.
PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING: Click on this strategy settings. Properties tab. Make sure Recalculate 'each time the order was run' is turned off.
NEWBIE USER: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) You might want to turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting. Alternatively you can use my alternate realtime study: 'Resistances and supports based on simplified Volume Profile' but, be aware, it might consume one indicator.
ADVANCED USER 1: Turn on the 'Print price is in range {False}' setting and help us to debug this subindicator. Also help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 2: Turn on the all the (SQZDIVER) settings and help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 3: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) Turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting and report any problem with it.
JAIME MERINO: Just use the indicator as it comes by default. It should only show BUY signals, SELL signals and their associated closing signals. From time to time you might want to check 'ADVANCED USER 2' instructions to check that there's actually a divergence. Check also 'ADVANCED USER 1' instructions for your amusement.
EXTRA ADVICE
It's advised that you use this strategy in addition to these two other indicators:

FEEDBACK
Please check the strategy source code for more detailed information
where, among others, I explain all of the substrats
and if they are implemented or not.
Q1. Did I understand wrong any of the Jaime substrats (which I have implemented)?
Q2. The strategy yields quite profit when we should long (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is higher than EMA55 from 1d timeframe.
Why the strategy yields much less profit when we should short (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is lower than EMA55 from 1d timeframe)?
Any idea if you need to do something else rather than just reverse what Jaime does when longing?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ1. Why are you giving this strategy for free?
TradingLatino and his fellow enthusiasts taught me this strategy. Now I'm giving back to them.
FAQ2. Seriously! Why are you giving this strategy for free?
I'm confident his strategy might be improved a lot. By keeping it to myself I would avoid other people contributions to improve it.
Now that everyone can contribute this is a win-win.
FAQ3. How can I connect this strategy to my Exchange account?
It seems that you can attach alerts to strategies.
You might want to combine it with a paying account which enable Webhook URLs to work.
I don't know how all of this works right now so I cannot give you advice on it.
You will have to do your own research on this subject. But, be careful. Automating trades, if not done properly,
might end on you automating losses.
FAQ4. I have just found that this strategy by default gives more than 3.97% of 'maximum series of losses'. That's unacceptable according to my risk management policy.
You might want to reduce default stop loss setting from 7% to something like 5% till you are ok with the 'maximum series of losses'.
FAQ5. Where can I learn more about your work on this strategy?
Check the source code. You might find unused strategies. Either because there's not a substantial increases on earnings. Or maybe because they have not been implemented yet.
FAQ6. How much leverage is applied in this strategy?
No leverage.
FAQ7. Any difference with original Jaime Merino strategy?
Most of the times Jaime defines an stop loss at the price entry. That's not the case here. The default stop loss is 7% (but, don't be confused it only means losing 1% of your investment thanks to risk management). There's also a trailing take profit that triggers at 2% profit with a 1% trailing.
FAQ8. Why this strategy return is so small?
The strategy should be improved a lot. And, well, backtesting in this platform is not guaranteed to return theoric results comparable to real-life returns. That's why I'm personally forward testing this strategy to verify it.

Interquartile rangeThis script plots the Interquartile range (difference between 3rd and 1st quartile), providing useful infos about price distribution and volatility . It is designed to work paired with my other script "Moving percentiles channel", but you can also use it alone.
Features:
- You can compute the percentiles using Linear interpolation or Nearest Rank methods
- You can plot not only the Interquartile range, but also the range (difference between 100th and 0 percentiles) or a User defined range (you have to select which percentiles you want to use from the settings)
- The script also plots a signal line that you can use to obtain signals when the Range line crosses the signal line itself. You can plot the signal line using many different MAs ( SMA , EMA , DEMA , TEMA , WMA , VWMA , HMA , ALMA , LSMA , FRAMA ).
- It also plots an histogram that represents the difference between the Range and the Signal line. It will be green colored when positive, and red colored when negative.
Please show me your support and follow me if you like my scripts. Many more of them are coming in the future.
@ Bezzus
REVEREVE is abbreviation from Range Extension Volume Expansion. This indicator shows these against a background of momentum. The histogram and columns for the range and volume rises ara calculated with the same algorithm as I use in the Volume Range Events indicator, which I published before. Because this algorithm uses the same special function to assess 'normal' levels for volume and range and uses the same calculation for depicting the rises on a scale of zero through 100, it becomes possible to compare volume and range rises in the same chart panel and come to meaningful conclusions. Different from VolumeRangeEvents is that I don't attempt to show direction of the bars and columns by actually pointing up or down. However I did color the bars for range events according to direction if Close jumps more than 20 percent of ATR up or down either blue or red. If the wider range leads to nothing, i.e. a smaller jump than 20 percent, the color is black. You can teak this in the inputs. The volume colums ar colored according to two criteria, resulting in four colors (orange, blue, maroon, green). The first criterium is whether the expansion is climactic (orange, blue) or moderate (maroon, green). I assume that climactic (i.e. more than twice as much) volume marks the beginning or end of a trend. The second criterium looks at the range event that goes together with the volume event. If lots of volume lead to little change in range (blue, green), I assume that this volume originates from institutional traders who are accumulating or distributing. If wild price jumps occur with comparatively little volume (orange, maroon, or even no volume event) I assume that opportunistic are active, some times attributing to more volume.
For the background I use the same colors calculated with the same algorithm as in the Hull Agreement Indicator, which I published before. This way I try to predict trend changes by observation of REVE.
Opening Candle Zone with ATR Bands by nkChartsThis indicator highlights the opening range of each trading session and projects dynamic ATR-based zones around it.

EMA ± ATR Channel (True Range)EMA ± ATR Channel (True Range)
Tagline: Adaptive EMA channel with ATR-based volatility bands — perfect for swing trading, intraday setups, and managing risk on high-volatility stocks.
This script plots a dynamic price channel around a configurable EMA using the Average True Range (ATR, Wilder’s True Range) as a volatility buffer.
Upper band = EMA + (ATR × multiplier)
Lower band = EMA – (ATR × multiplier)
📊 Features:
Adjustable EMA length, ATR length, and ATR multiplier
Visual channel fill between upper and lower bands
Optional on-chart help panel with practical combos
⚡ Practical Combos for Volatile Stocks:
EMA 20 + ATR 14 × 2.0 → most common swing trading setup
EMA 10 + ATR 14 × 1.5 → very responsive, good for intraday/high-beta names
EMA 20 + ATR 20 × 2.5 → smoother, wider channel, avoids whipsaws in chaotic stocks
✅ Use cases:
Identify dynamic support/resistance zones
Volatility-based stop-loss & take-profit placement
Spot overextensions from the trend midline

Daily/Weekly Wick (Shadow) Range📈 Detailed Guide to the Daily/Weekly Wick (Shadow) Range Indicator
This indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed to map the key price levels established during the previous trading period (either the previous day or the previous week). Instead of just showing a single line for the high and low, it highlights the entire range of the upper and lower wicks (shadows), representing the "battleground" where buyers and sellers were most active.
How It Works
The Wick (Shadow) Range indicator fetches the Open, High, Low, and Close data from the last completed daily or weekly candle and projects those levels onto your current chart. This creates two distinct colored zones.
Upper Wick (Green Zone): This area spans from the Previous High down to the top of the Previous Candle's Body. It visually represents the territory where sellers successfully pushed the price down from its peak. This entire zone can be considered a resistance area.
Lower Wick (Red Zone): This area spans from the bottom of the Previous Candle's Body down to the Previous Low. It shows where buyers stepped in to defend a price level and push it back up. This entire zone can be considered a support area.
How to Use It in Your Trading
This indicator isn't meant to give direct buy or sell signals on its own. Instead, it provides crucial context about market structure. Here are several ways to incorporate it into your strategy:
1. Identifying Key Support & Resistance
This is the indicator's primary function. The most significant levels are:
Key Resistance: The top edge of the green zone (the previous period's high).
Key Support: The bottom edge of the red zone (the previous period's low).
Look for the current price to react when it approaches these boundaries. These are high-probability areas for price to pause or reverse.
2. Watching for Price Rejection (Reversal Trading)
The colored zones are perfect for spotting rejection signals.
Bearish Rejection 📉: If the current price enters the green zone but fails to stay there, closing back below it (often forming a new wick), it's a strong sign that sellers are still in control at that level. This can be an excellent entry signal for a short position.
Bullish Rejection 📈: If the current price dips into the red zone and is quickly bought back up, it shows that buyers are actively defending that area. This can be a great entry signal for a long position.
3. Confirming Breakouts (Trend Trading)
The zones also help validate breakouts.
Bullish Breakout: If the price pushes decisively through the entire green zone and closes above the previous high, it signals that the previous resistance has been broken and the trend may continue upward.
Bearish Breakdown: If the price falls decisively through the entire red zone and closes below the previous low, it confirms that support has failed and the price may continue downward.
4. Setting Context with Timeframes
Weekly Setting: Use the "Weekly" option to identify major, significant support and resistance levels that can influence the market for the entire week. These are powerful levels for swing trading.
Daily Setting: Use the "Daily" option for intraday trading. The previous day's high and low are critical pivot points that many day traders watch.
⚙️ Indicator Settings
The indicator has one simple setting, which you can access by clicking the gear icon ⚙️ next to its name on the chart.
Select Wick Timeframe: This dropdown menu allows you to switch the indicator's calculation between the Daily and Weekly timeframe instantly.
