Timeframe PivotsUse this tool to plot open prices from any timeframe as a pivot level with the option to go advanced and turn on extensions (instructions below), which review the relationship between previous and current open prices to build range extensions up to six levels wide.
Please be aware extensions, nor vwap are not enabled by default! It is up to the user to determine how they wish to setup this indicator. Please read the full description for utilizing this indicator so that it's well known the complete feature set and understanding of how to enable additional plots, complete instruction is provided for all users below.
Default configuration example:
To enable extensions the user must open the indicator configuration by clicking the gear icon for "Timeframe Pivots", depending on screen resolution scrolling with mouse may need to occur in order to find the section labeled "Extensions", use the mouse or equivalent human interface device to check the checkbox to the right of the color plots and line type drop down.
Extensions enabled example:
Timeframe Selection
Timeframes available to the indicator are any timeframe the platform makes available to the user by default, or also if the TradingView user has higher tier plan to create custom timeframes - those should be available as well. To adjust timeframe the user must open the indicator configuration by clicking the gear icon for "Timeframe Pivots", depending on screen resolution scrolling with mouse may need to occur in order to find the input labeled "Timeframe", use the mouse or equivalent human interface device select the drop down and select timeframe suitable to users application.
How the extension width and extensions are calculated:
The exact process takes the new timeframe change open price calculates the difference between prior open, once that has been completed then it's divided in half to build extensions.
Code example:
Extension Width = (Open - Open ) / 2
How the extensions are calculated:
// +1 for positive extension, -1 for negative extension
(Extension Width * (Configured Multiplier * 1)) + Pivot Open Price
+1 Extension:
$5 * (1.0 * 1) + $400 = $405
-1 Extension:
$5 * (1.0 * -1) + $400 = $395
So it should be established how each projected extension, either positive or negative, is created.
Range bound market detection and notes:
One note regarding the ranges, sometimes the open prices of each period can be close in proximity to their predecessor, there's not enough range to build meaningful projections. In these situations this means the market is most likely range bound and prior range data is utilized to continue providing guidance. This addresses an issue with other pivot indicators that will instead blindly follow price and present useless pivot ranges.
It does this through detection of average half range widths, the last 14 ranges to be exact, if the current, (open - open / 2), half range width is smaller than the average, prior half range width will be used.
Code example:
// assume past half range widths are 10, 8, 9, 5, 14, 7, 7, 9, 10, 10, 4, 7, 7, 8
float v_halfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions = na
v_priorHalfRangeWidth = 10
v_avgHalfRangeWidth = 8.2 // past range widths sum = 115 / 14
v_newHalfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions = 2 // new open - open is tiny compared to avg
if v_newHalfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions < v_avgHalfRangeWidth
// replace new half range width with previous one
v_newHalfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions := v_priorHalfRangeWidth
In the code example above if the new half range width was above or equal to the rolling average, no adjustment would be made by the indicator.
VWAP
Additional feature of showing vwap, anchored to the same timeframe as the pivot, provides a trend and volume analysis within the confines of the pivots range.
The user must open the indicator configuration by clicking the gear icon for "Timeframe Pivots", scroll using mouse to the "VWAP" section and click the checkbox next to the "Source" field, past the color plots. They are not enabled by default!
The user can also add the bands for VWAP by clicking the checkbox next to the "Bands" field, past the color plots. They are not enabled by default!
VWAP calculations begin from open price of new timeframe change, then afterwards the "Source" set is utilized, the default is HLC3 which is standard for VWAP indicators.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis (MTFA)
It's simple to create a unique combination of favored timeframes for multiple timeframe analysis, consider daily, weekly and monthly combined analysis for powerful indications of market sentiment and directional bias.
Example MTFA demonstration:
Why was this created?
I created this while investigating the efficacy of open price ranges, it became apparent that these pivot ranges are some of the more price respecting pivots I've ever observed. I also grew tired of lack of price adherence to other pivot indicators widely available.
There exists a relationship between each timeframes open price in comparison to prior open price, if the market is willing to navigate to a prior lower open price from higher open price, it could be perceived as bearish and the extensions (if enabled as instructed above), could be suitable range based projections for future price movements.
Example comparison:
As can be seen, and there are many examples, where Timeframe Pivots provides more discreet levels and potential explanations for price movements.
[KVA]Body Percentage Counter This indicator presents a comprehensive view of the historical candle data within user-defined body percentage ranges. Each column represents a specific body size percentage threshold, starting from as low as 0.01% and extending up to 20%.
The rows categorize candles by their closing and opening price differences, effectively sorting them into green (bullish) and red (bearish) candles based on whether they closed higher or lower than their opening prices.
First Row of the table is the bu
For developers, this table can be immensely useful in determining stop-loss ranges. By analyzing the frequency of candles that fall within certain body percentage ranges, developers can better understand where to set stop-loss orders. For instance, if a developer notices a high frequency of candles with body sizes within a specific percentage range, they may choose to set their stop-loss orders outside of this range to avoid being stopped out by normal market fluctuations.
Moreover, the indicator can be used to:
Volatility Assessment : The indicator can be used to gauge market volatility. Smaller bodies may indicate consolidation periods, while larger bodies might suggest more volatile market conditions.
Optimize Trading Strategies : Adjust entry and exit points based on the prevalence of certain candle sizes.
Risk Management : Determine the commonality of price movements within a certain range to better manage risks.
Backtesting : Use historical data to backtest how different stop-loss ranges would have performed in the past.
Comparative Analysis : Traders can compare the frequency of different body sizes over a selected period, providing insights into how the market is evolving.
Educational Use : For new traders, the indicator can serve as an educational tool to understand the implications of candlestick sizes and their relationship with market dynamics
The data provided in this output can guide developers to make more informed decisions about where to place stop-loss orders, potentially increasing the effectiveness of their trading algorithms or manual trading strategies.
The output of the " Body Percentage Counter" indicator is organized into a table format, which can be broken down as follows:
Header (First Row) : This row lists the body percentage thresholds used to categorize the candles. It starts from 0.01% and increases incrementally to 20%. These thresholds are likely set by the user and represent the range of candle body sizes as a percentage of the total candle size.
Green Candle Count (Second Row) : This row displays the count of green candles—candles where the close price is higher than the open price—that fall within each body percentage threshold. For example, under the column "0.01", the number 25 indicates there are 25 green candles whose body size is 0.01% of the total candle size.
Red Candle Count (Third Row) : This row shows the count of red candles—candles where the close price is lower than the open price—for each body percentage threshold. The numbers in this row reflect the number of red candles that match the body percentage criteria in the corresponding column.
Total Candle Count (Fourth Row) : This row sums the counts of both green and red candles for each body percentage threshold, providing a total count of candles that have a body size within the specific range. For instance, if under "0.01" the green count is 25 and the red count is 26, then the total would be 51.
This organized data representation allows users to quickly assess the distribution of candle body sizes over a historical period, which is especially useful for determining the frequency of price movements that are significant enough to consider for stop-loss settings or other trade management decisions.

ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator & FIB's by TenAMTraderSummary: ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator with Alerts and Fibonacci Retracement Targets by TenAMTrader
This TradingView script is an advanced version of the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator, enhanced with visual clouds and Fibonacci retracement/extension levels. It is designed to help traders identify key price levels and track price movements relative to those levels throughout the trading day. The script includes alert functionalities to notify traders when price crosses key levels and when Fibonacci levels are reached, which can serve as potential entry and exit targets.
Key Features:
Primary and Secondary Range Calculation:
The indicator calculates the primary range (defined by a start and end time) and optionally, a secondary range.
The primary range includes the highest and lowest prices during the designated time period, as well as the midpoint of this range.
The secondary range (if enabled) tracks another price range during a second time period, with its own high, low, and midpoint.
Visual Clouds:
The script draws colored clouds between the high, midpoint, and low of the opening range.
The upper cloud spans between the Opening High and Midpoint, while the lower cloud spans between the Midpoint and Opening Low.
Similarly, a second set of clouds can be drawn for the secondary range (if enabled).
Fibonacci Levels:
The script calculates Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on the primary range (the difference between the Opening High and Opening Low).
Fibonacci levels can be used as entry and exit targets in a trading strategy, as these levels often act as potential support/resistance zones.
Fibonacci levels include standard values like -0.236, -0.382, -0.618, and positive extensions like 1.236, 1.618, etc.
Customizable Alerts:
Alerts can be set to trigger when:
The price crosses above the Opening High.
The price crosses below the Opening Low.
The price crosses the Opening Midpoint.
These alerts can help traders act quickly on important price movements relative to the opening range.
Customization Options:
The indicator allows users to adjust the time settings for both the primary and secondary ranges.
Custom colors can be set for the lines, clouds, and Fibonacci levels.
The visibility of each line and cloud can be toggled on or off, giving users flexibility in how the chart is displayed.
Fibonacci Levels Overview:
The script includes several Fibonacci retracement and extension levels:
Negative Retracements (e.g., -0.236, -0.382, -0.50, -0.618, etc.) are plotted below the Opening Low, and can act as potential support levels in a downtrend.
Positive Extensions (e.g., 1.236, 1.382, 1.618, 2.0, etc.) are plotted above the Opening High, and can act as potential resistance levels in an uptrend.
Fib levels can be used as entry and exit targets to capitalize on price reversals or breakouts.
Safety Warning:
This script is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as financial advice. While it provides valuable technical information about price ranges and Fibonacci levels, trading always involves risk. Users are encouraged to:
Paper trade or use a demo account before applying this indicator with real capital.
Use proper risk management strategies, including stop-loss orders, to protect against unexpected market movements.

Delta Flow Profile [LuxAlgo]The Delta Flow Profile is a charting tool that tracks and visualizes money flow and the difference between buying and selling pressure accumulated within multiple price ranges over a specified period. It reveals the relationship between an asset's price and traders' willingness to buy or sell, helping traders identify significant price levels and analyze market activity.
The Normalized Profile displays the percentage of money flow at each price level relative to the maximum money flow level, enabling traders to easily compare levels and understand the relative importance of each price point in the context of overall trading activity.
🔶 USAGE
The Delta Flow Profile is made of two principal components with different usability, each one of them described in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Money Flow Profile
The Money Flow Profile illustrates the total buying and selling activity at different price ranges. By analyzing this profile, users can identify key price zones with substantial buying or selling pressure. These zones can often act as potential support or resistance.
The rows of the Money Flow Profile represent the trading activity at specific price ranges over a given period.
A normalized profile is included to compare each zone relative to the peak money flow using a percentage, with 100% indicating that a price range is the one with the highest accumulated money flow.
🔹 Delta Profile
The Delta Profile assesses the dominant sentiment (buying or selling) from volume delta at different price levels to gauge market sentiment and potential reversals.
Delta Profile rows with more significant buying or selling volume indicate dominance from one side of the market in that specific price area. Price coming back to that area might indicate willingness from a dominant side to further accumulate orders within it, potentially causing price to follow the direction established by this dominant side afterward.
The volume delta is determined from the user-selected Polarity Method, with "Bar Polarity" using candle sentiment to determine if a bar associated volume is buying or selling volume, and "Bar Buying/Selling Pressure" making use of the high/low price to obtain more precise results.
🔹 Level of Significance
Users can quickly highlight the price levels with the highest recorded money flow activity through the included "Level of Significance". Various display methods are included:
Developing: Show the price level with the highest recorded money flow activity spanning over the indicator calculation interval.
Level: Show the price level with the highest recorded money flow activity.
Row: Show the price zone with the highest recorded money flow activity.
These levels/zones can be used as potential support/resistance points and can serve as a reference of where prices might go next for market participants to accumulate orders.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script offers a range of customizable settings to tailor the analysis to your trading needs.
🔹 Calculation Settings
Money Flow Profile: Toggles the visibility of the Money Flow Profile.
Normalized: Toggles the visibility of the Normalized Profile.
Sentiment Profile: Toggles the visibility of the Sentiment Profile.
Polarity Method: Choose between Bar Polarity or Bar Buying/Selling Pressure to calculate the Sentiment Profile.
Level of Significance: Toggles the visibility of the level of significance line/zone.
Lookback Length / Fixed Range: Sets the lookback length.
Number of Rows: Specify how many rows each profile histogram will have.
🔹 Display Settings
Profile Width %: Alters the width of the rows in the histogram, relative to the profile length.
Profile Horizontal Offset: Enables moving the profile on the horizontal axis.
Profile Text: Toggles the visibility of profile texts, and alters the size of the text. Setting to Auto will keep the text within the box limits.
Currency: Extends the profile text with the traded currency.
Profile Price Levels: Toggles the visibility of the profile price levels.

Smart Money Concepts by WeloTradesThe "Smart Money Concepts by WeloTrades" indicator is designed to offer traders a comprehensive tool that integrates multiple advanced features to aid in market analysis. By combining order blocks, liquidity levels, fair value gaps, trendlines, and market structure analysis, the indicator provides a holistic approach to understanding market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
Components and Their Integration:
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks Detection
Functionality: Order blocks represent areas where significant buying or selling occurred, creating potential support or resistance zones. Breaker blocks signal potential reversals.
Integration: By detecting and visualizing these blocks, the indicator helps traders identify key levels where price might react, aiding in entry and exit decisions. The customizable settings allow traders to adjust the visibility and parameters to suit their specific trading strategy.
Liquidity Levels Analysis
Functionality: Liquidity levels indicate zones where significant price movements can occur due to the presence of large orders. These are areas where smart money might be executing trades.
Integration: By tracking these high-probability liquidity areas, traders can anticipate potential price movements. Customizable display limits and mitigation strategies ensure that the information is tailored to the trader’s needs, providing precise and actionable insights.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Functionality: Fair value gaps highlight areas where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers. These gaps often represent potential trading opportunities.
Integration: The ability to identify and analyze FVGs helps traders spot potential entries based on market inefficiencies. The touch and break detection functionalities provide further refinement, enhancing the precision of trading signals.
Trendlines
Functionality: Trendlines help in identifying the direction of the market and potential reversal points. The additional trendline adds a layer of confirmation for breaks or retests.
Integration: Automatically drawn trendlines assist traders in visualizing market trends and making decisions about potential entries and exits. The additional trendline for stronger confirmation reduces the risk of false signals, providing more reliable trading opportunities.
Market Structure Analysis
Functionality: Understanding market structure is crucial for identifying key support and resistance levels and overall market dynamics. This component displays internal, external, and composite market structures.
Integration: By automatically highlighting shifts in market structure, the indicator helps traders recognize important levels and potential changes in market direction. This analysis is critical for strategic planning and execution in trading.
Customizable Alerts
Functionality: Alerts ensure that traders do not miss significant market events, such as the formation or breach of order blocks, liquidity levels, and trendline interactions.
Integration: Customizable alerts enhance the user experience by providing timely notifications of key events. This feature ensures that traders can act quickly and efficiently, leveraging the insights provided by the indicator.
Interactive Visualization
Functionality: Customizable visual aspects of the indicator allow traders to tailor the display to their preferences and trading style.
Integration: This feature enhances user engagement and usability, making it easier for traders to interpret the data and make informed decisions. Personalization options like colors, styles, and display formats improve the overall effectiveness of the indicator.
How Components Work Together
Comprehensive Market Analysis
Each component of the indicator addresses a different aspect of market analysis. Order blocks and liquidity levels highlight potential support and resistance zones, while fair value gaps and trendlines provide additional context for potential entries and exits. Market structure analysis ties everything together by offering a broad view of market dynamics.
Synergistic Insights
The integration of multiple features allows for cross-validation of trading signals. For instance, an order block coinciding with a high-probability liquidity level and a fair value gap can provide a stronger signal than any of these features alone. This synergy enhances the reliability of the insights and trading signals generated by the indicator.
Enhanced Decision Making
By combining these advanced features into a single tool, traders are equipped with a powerful resource for making informed decisions. The customizable alerts and interactive visualization further support this by ensuring that traders can act quickly on the insights provided.

Edufx's Power of ThreeIndicator Overview
Name: Edufx's Power of Three
Purpose:
To highlight the high and low price ranges of specific hourly candles on a chart.
To visualize these ranges using rectangles.
Features
Visibility Toggle:
Users can enable or disable the visibility of the rectangles highlighting the high and low price ranges of the specified candles.
Customizable Rectangle Length:
Users can adjust the length of the rectangles that extend from the specified candle's high and low prices.
Price Range Tracking:
The high and low prices of the specified candles are tracked and stored.
Rectangle Drawing:
Rectangles are drawn from 5 bars before the end of the specified hour, highlighting the high and low price ranges.
How It Works
Price Range Tracking:
During each specified hour, the high and low prices are updated with the highest and lowest prices observed.
Rectangle Drawing:
At the end of each specified hour, the high and low prices are used to draw rectangles extending 5 bars backward from the end of the hour.
Rectangles are color-coded (red, green, and blue) for easy identification.
Usage
This indicator is useful for traders who want to monitor and react to key price levels at specific times of the day.
The visual rectangles help in identifying potential trading opportunities based on price action relative to these key levels.
Example
If the price moves above the high of the specified candle but fails to close above it, a visual rectangle will highlight this price range.
Similarly, if the price moves below the low of the specified candle but fails to close below it, the rectangle will indicate this range.
This indicator provides visual aids to assist traders in making informed decisions based on the behavior of price at specific key levels.
Murrey Math
The Murrey Math indicator is a set of horizontal price levels, calculated from an algorithm developed by stock trader T.J. Murray.
The main concept behind Murrey Math is that prices tend to react and rotate at specific price levels. These levels are calculated by dividing the price range into fixed segments called "ranges", usually using a number of 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256.
Murrey Math levels are calculated as follows:
1. A particular price range is taken, for example, 128.
2. Divide the current price by the range (128 in this example).
3. The result is rounded to the nearest whole number.
4. Multiply that whole number by the original range (128).
This results in the Murrey Math level closest to the current price. More Murrey levels are calculated and drawn by adding and subtracting multiples of the range to the initially calculated level.
Traders use Murrey Math levels as areas of possible support and resistance as it is believed that prices tend to react and pivot at these levels. They are also used to identify price patterns and possible entry and exit points in trading.
The Murrey Math indicator itself simply calculates and draws these horizontal levels on the price chart, allowing traders to easily visualize them and use them in their technical analysis.
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR?
To use the Murrey Math indicator effectively, here are some tips:
1. Choose the appropriate Murrey Math range : The Murrey Math range input (128 by default in the provided code) determines the spacing between the levels. Common ranges used are 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256. A smaller range will give you more levels, while a larger range will give you fewer levels. Choose a range that suits the volatility and trading timeframe you're working with.
2. Identify potential support and resistance levels: The horizontal lines drawn by the indicator represent potential support and resistance levels based on the Murrey Math calculation. Prices often react or reverse at these levels, so they can be used to spot areas of interest for entries and exits.
3. Look for price reactions at the levels: Watch for price action like rejections, bounces, or breakouts at the Murrey Math levels. These reactions can signal potential trend continuation or reversal setups.
4. Trail stop-loss orders: You can place stop-loss orders just below/above the nearest Murrey Math level to manage risk if the price moves against your trade.
5. Set targets at future levels: Project potential profit targets by looking at upcoming Murrey Math levels in the direction of the trend.
7. Adjust range as needed: If prices are consistently breaking through levels without reacting, try adjusting the range input to a different value to see if it provides better levels.
In which asset can this indicator perform better?
The Murrey Math indicator can potentially perform well on any liquid financial asset that exhibits some degree of mean-reversion or trading range behavior. However, it may be more suitable for certain asset classes or trading timeframes than others.
Here are some assets and scenarios where the Murrey Math indicator can potentially perform better:
1. Forex Markets: The foreign exchange market is known for its ranging and mean-reverting nature, especially on higher timeframes like the daily or weekly charts. The Murrey Math levels can help identify potential support and resistance levels within these trading ranges.
2. Futures Markets: Futures contracts, such as those for commodities (e.g., crude oil, gold, etc.) or equity indices, often exhibit trading ranges and mean-reversion trends. The Murrey Math indicator can be useful in identifying potential turning points within these ranges.
3. Stocks with Range-bound Behavior: Some stocks, particularly those of large-cap companies, can trade within well-defined ranges for extended periods. The Murrey Math levels can help identify the boundaries of these ranges and potential reversal points.
4. I ntraday Trading: The Murrey Math indicator may be more effective on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour, 30-minute, 15-minute) for intraday trading, as prices tend to respect support and resistance levels more closely within shorter time periods.
5. Trending Markets: While the Murrey Math indicator is primarily designed for range-bound markets, it can also be used in trending markets to identify potential pullback or continuation levels.
Technical Dashboard with High and Low Price Prediction Hello everyone!
I am releasing this indicator. It is called the Technical Dashboard and the name is pretty self explanatory! So let's get into it:
What it does:
The technical dashboard displays 4 commonly used technical indicators: Stochastics, RSI, Z-Score and MFI. It will display the current value of each of these technical indicators, as well as the highest and lowest value over a user defined period and the SMA.
The user can input the source and lookback period for each of the indicators individually. It is defaulted to 14, but I do recommend using a larger lookback time period as 14 tends to be a little too narrow.
The indicator will display a notice of whether the stock is trading in a max range, min range or neutral range based on its previous highest and lowest range. If the stock is trading between the highest and lowest range, it will display a neutral range reading.
In addition to displaying those 4 commonly used technical indicators, the indicator will also display the highest and lowest highs and lows of a ticker over a user defined period. You can opt for it to plot out the High and Low SMA and select your timeframe for these SMA plots.
The current value for the High and Low actually depicts a predicted High and Low based on the user defined lookback period. The Current Range column will show you when and if the predicted high or low is reached. The high and low defaults to the timeframe you are on. So if you are trading off the 5 minute chart, it will display the predicted high and low on the 5 minute time frame. The 1 hour, it will show the 1 hour, etc. It provides price prediction using a simple regression based analysis that pinescript provides.
Examples of its use:
In the image above, you can see how the indicator shows you when the stock is trading in some of its max ranges.
Note that just because a stock is trading in its max or min range does not necessarily mean that the stock is going to reverse in the opposite direction. While highest and lowest represent previous areas of reversal, it doesn't always mean that it will result in a reversal again. What it tells us more is whether momentum has picked up one way or the other, be it bearish or bullish momentum. This is useful information to help us decide whether a ticker has good momentum and whether a move is likely to have follow through. However, a stock trading in its high or low range can indeed signal a reversal. It is important to pay attention to the underlying price action and plan your trades accordingly.
Customizations
All of the indicators are individually customizable, from lookback length, SMA length and input source for RSI, Z-Score and MFI.
In addition to the lookback periods, you can also view highest and lowest ranges based on the SMA length. If you select "Show reversals based on SMA", the indicator will display the highest and lowest values of the SMA instead of the stock itself.
Gauging Strength:
You can use this indicator to gauge strength in many ways. First of all, your ability to see where a stock is trading relative to its historically high and low technical ranges helps you determine the overall momentum of the stock. However, you can have the indicator plot the predicted high and low ranges (see image below):
The green arrows are pointing to areas where the stock is breaking past its high levels. This shows that the over-arching sentiment is bullish. However, we can see when it starts to lose steam, it stops touching the high values and starts to touch and break below the low values (red arrows). This signals to us that the stock is losing the bullish momentum and we should be alert for a reversal to the downside or upside, depending on the setup.
There are many applications you can use it for and there is a lot of customizability. Play around with it and let me know what you think, how it helps you and any suggestions for its improvement.
As always, I have prepared a quick video tutorial on getting started with the setups on the indicator which is linked below:
Thank you all for checking this out and safe trades everyone!
DR/IDR of Omega by TRSTNThis is an EXPERIMENTAL Script by @TRSTNGLRD derived from the coding of @IAmMas7er's "DR/IDR" Indicator that adds a total of 11 additional DR / IDR Ranges on both lower and higher timeframes.
This script is no-longer being worked on, so I have made it public.
Background:
This Script utilizes the Fibonacci-Doubling Sequence between the range of 18:30pm and 16:55pm NY-Time. Each Cycle is grouped into the following:
Omega/2, Omega/4, Omega/8, and Omega/16
The Mas7er's three original sessions are: Omega/4v1, Omega/4v2, and Omega/8v1
These three Sessions above take rule over all others. If you are looking to back-test this version of the script, please use the Experimental ranges as confirmation for the three above.
Important Notes:
- Please only select Sessions with their respected groups (All of Omega/4, All of Omega/16, etc...) rather than selecting all of them at once.
If you select all of them at once, the ranges will not be correct and cut each other off.
The only exceptions to this rule are the Mas7er's original ranges above.
- If you wish to have multiple groups of Ranges together, please add a second indicator to your chart.
- Omega/16v1 and Omega/16v6 are known to have a high-probability of a Judas Swing (takes out both sides of the range) - Be Cautious!
- Omega/2v1 is a very large DR / IDR range. I am working on shrinking it in size, but have more experimenting to do with different ranges.
- I do not use the experimental ranges with the IDR , only the DR . I have not been able to define probabilities fully yet, but the levels are respected nonetheless.
This script is not supposed to work EXACTLY like the Mas7er's, rather, generally instead.
Please comment and leave your opinion below about which ranges work the best and how you may utilize them.
Thank you!
ValueAtTime█ OVERVIEW
This library is a Pine Script® programming tool for accessing historical values in a time series using UNIX timestamps . Its data structure and functions index values by time, allowing scripts to retrieve past values based on absolute timestamps or relative time offsets instead of relying on bar index offsets.
█ CONCEPTS
UNIX timestamps
In Pine Script®, a UNIX timestamp is an integer representing the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC (the UNIX Epoch ). The timestamp is a unique, absolute representation of a specific point in time. Unlike a calendar date and time, a UNIX timestamp's meaning does not change relative to any time zone .
This library's functions process series values and corresponding UNIX timestamps in pairs , offering a simplified way to identify values that occur at or near distinct points in time instead of on specific bars.
Storing and retrieving time-value pairs
This library's `Data` type defines the structure for collecting time and value information in pairs. Objects of the `Data` type contain the following two fields:
• `times` – An array of "int" UNIX timestamps for each recorded value.
• `values` – An array of "float" values for each saved timestamp.
Each index in both arrays refers to a specific time-value pair. For instance, the `times` and `values` elements at index 0 represent the first saved timestamp and corresponding value. The library functions that maintain `Data` objects queue up to one time-value pair per bar into the object's arrays, where the saved timestamp represents the bar's opening time .
Because the `times` array contains a distinct UNIX timestamp for each item in the `values` array, it serves as a custom mapping for retrieving saved values. All the library functions that return information from a `Data` object use this simple two-step process to identify a value based on time:
1. Perform a binary search on the `times` array to find the earliest saved timestamp closest to the specified time or offset and get the element's index.
2. Access the element from the `values` array at the retrieved index, returning the stored value corresponding to the found timestamp.
Value search methods
There are several techniques programmers can use to identify historical values from corresponding timestamps. This library's functions include three different search methods to locate and retrieve values based on absolute times or relative time offsets:
Timestamp search
Find the value with the earliest saved timestamp closest to a specified timestamp.
Millisecond offset search
Find the value with the earliest saved timestamp closest to a specified number of milliseconds behind the current bar's opening time. This search method provides a time-based alternative to retrieving historical values at specific bar offsets.
Period offset search
Locate the value with the earliest saved timestamp closest to a defined period offset behind the current bar's opening time. The function calculates the span of the offset based on a period string . The "string" must contain one of the following unit tokens:
• "D" for days
• "W" for weeks
• "M" for months
• "Y" for years
• "YTD" for year-to-date, meaning the time elapsed since the beginning of the bar's opening year in the exchange time zone.
The period string can include a multiplier prefix for all supported units except "YTD" (e.g., "2W" for two weeks).
Note that the precise span covered by the "M", "Y", and "YTD" units varies across time. The "1M" period can cover 28, 29, 30, or 31 days, depending on the bar's opening month and year in the exchange time zone. The "1Y" period covers 365 or 366 days, depending on leap years. The "YTD" period's span changes with each new bar, because it always measures the time from the start of the current bar's opening year.
█ CALCULATIONS AND USE
This library's functions offer a flexible, structured approach to retrieving historical values at or near specific timestamps, millisecond offsets, or period offsets for different analytical needs.
See below for explanations of the exported functions and how to use them.
Retrieving single values
The library includes three functions that retrieve a single stored value using timestamp, millisecond offset, or period offset search methods:
• `valueAtTime()` – Locates the saved value with the earliest timestamp closest to a specified timestamp.
• `valueAtTimeOffset()` – Finds the saved value with the earliest timestamp closest to the specified number of milliseconds behind the current bar's opening time.
• `valueAtPeriodOffset()` – Finds the saved value with the earliest timestamp closest to the period-based offset behind the current bar's opening time.
Each function has two overloads for advanced and simple use cases. The first overload searches for a value in a user-specified `Data` object created by the `collectData()` function (see below). It returns a tuple containing the found value and the corresponding timestamp.
The second overload maintains a `Data` object internally to store and retrieve values for a specified `source` series. This overload returns a tuple containing the historical `source` value, the corresponding timestamp, and the current bar's `source` value, making it helpful for comparing past and present values from requested contexts.
Retrieving multiple values
The library includes the following functions to retrieve values from multiple historical points in time, facilitating calculations and comparisons with values retrieved across several intervals:
• `getDataAtTimes()` – Locates a past `source` value for each item in a `timestamps` array. Each retrieved value's timestamp represents the earliest time closest to one of the specified timestamps.
• `getDataAtTimeOffsets()` – Finds a past `source` value for each item in a `timeOffsets` array. Each retrieved value's timestamp represents the earliest time closest to one of the specified millisecond offsets behind the current bar's opening time.
• `getDataAtPeriodOffsets()` – Finds a past value for each item in a `periods` array. Each retrieved value's timestamp represents the earliest time closest to one of the specified period offsets behind the current bar's opening time.
Each function returns a tuple with arrays containing the found `source` values and their corresponding timestamps. In addition, the tuple includes the current `source` value and the symbol's description, which also makes these functions helpful for multi-interval comparisons using data from requested contexts.
Processing period inputs
When writing scripts that retrieve historical values based on several user-specified period offsets, the most concise approach is to create a single text input that allows users to list each period, then process the "string" list into an array for use in the `getDataAtPeriodOffsets()` function.
This library includes a `getArrayFromString()` function to provide a simple way to process strings containing comma-separated lists of periods. The function splits the specified `str` by its commas and returns an array containing every non-empty item in the list with surrounding whitespaces removed. View the example code to see how we use this function to process the value of a text area input .
Calculating period offset times
Because the exact amount of time covered by a specified period offset can vary, it is often helpful to verify the resulting times when using the `valueAtPeriodOffset()` or `getDataAtPeriodOffsets()` functions to ensure the calculations work as intended for your use case.
The library's `periodToTimestamp()` function calculates an offset timestamp from a given period and reference time. With this function, programmers can verify the time offsets in a period-based data search and use the calculated offset times in additional operations.
For periods with "D" or "W" units, the function calculates the time offset based on the absolute number of milliseconds the period covers (e.g., `86400000` for "1D"). For periods with "M", "Y", or "YTD" units, the function calculates an offset time based on the reference time's calendar date in the exchange time zone.
Collecting data
All the `getDataAt*()` functions, and the second overloads of the `valueAt*()` functions, collect and maintain data internally, meaning scripts do not require a separate `Data` object when using them. However, the first overloads of the `valueAt*()` functions do not collect data, because they retrieve values from a user-specified `Data` object.
For cases where a script requires a separate `Data` object for use with these overloads or other custom routines, this library exports the `collectData()` function. This function queues each bar's `source` value and opening timestamp into a `Data` object and returns the object's ID.
This function is particularly useful when searching for values from a specific series more than once. For instance, instead of using multiple calls to the second overloads of `valueAt*()` functions with the same `source` argument, programmers can call `collectData()` to store each bar's `source` and opening timestamp, then use the returned `Data` object's ID in calls to the first `valueAt*()` overloads to reduce memory usage.
The `collectData()` function and all the functions that collect data internally include two optional parameters for limiting the saved time-value pairs to a sliding window: `timeOffsetLimit` and `timeframeLimit`. When either has a non-na argument, the function restricts the collected data to the maximum number of recent bars covered by the specified millisecond- and timeframe-based intervals.
NOTE : All calls to the functions that collect data for a `source` series can execute up to once per bar or realtime tick, because each stored value requires a unique corresponding timestamp. Therefore, scripts cannot call these functions iteratively within a loop . If a call to these functions executes more than once inside a loop's scope, it causes a runtime error.
█ EXAMPLE CODE
The example code at the end of the script demonstrates one possible use case for this library's functions. The code retrieves historical price data at user-specified period offsets, calculates price returns for each period from the retrieved data, and then populates a table with the results.
The example code's process is as follows:
1. Input a list of periods – The user specifies a comma-separated list of period strings in the script's "Period list" input (e.g., "1W, 1M, 3M, 1Y, YTD"). Each item in the input list represents a period offset from the latest bar's opening time.
2. Process the period list – The example calls `getArrayFromString()` on the first bar to split the input list by its commas and construct an array of period strings.
3. Request historical data – The code uses a call to `getDataAtPeriodOffsets()` as the `expression` argument in a request.security() call to retrieve the closing prices of "1D" bars for each period included in the processed `periods` array.
4. Display information in a table – On the latest bar, the code uses the retrieved data to calculate price returns over each specified period, then populates a two-row table with the results. The cells for each return percentage are color-coded based on the magnitude and direction of the price change. The cells also include tooltips showing the compared daily bar's opening date in the exchange time zone.
█ NOTES
• This library's architecture relies on a user-defined type (UDT) for its data storage format. UDTs are blueprints from which scripts create objects , i.e., composite structures with fields containing independent values or references of any supported type.
• The library functions search through a `Data` object's `times` array using the array.binary_search_leftmost() function, which is more efficient than looping through collected data to identify matching timestamps. Note that this built-in works only for arrays with elements sorted in ascending order .
• Each function that collects data from a `source` series updates the values and times stored in a local `Data` object's arrays. If a single call to these functions were to execute in a loop , it would store multiple values with an identical timestamp, which can cause erroneous search behavior. To prevent looped calls to these functions, the library uses the `checkCall()` helper function in their scopes. This function maintains a counter that increases by one each time it executes on a confirmed bar. If the count exceeds the total number of bars, indicating the call executes more than once in a loop, it raises a runtime error .
• Typically, when requesting higher-timeframe data with request.security() while using barmerge.lookahead_on as the `lookahead` argument, the `expression` argument should be offset with the history-referencing operator to prevent lookahead bias on historical bars. However, the call in this script's example code enables lookahead without offsetting the `expression` because the script displays results only on the last historical bar and all realtime bars, where there is no future data to leak into the past. This call ensures the displayed results use the latest data available from the context on realtime bars.
Look first. Then leap.

Smart Money Concept [TradingFinder] Major OB + FVG + Liquidity🔵 Introduction
"Smart Money" refers to funds under the control of institutional investors, central banks, funds, market makers, and other financial entities. Ordinary people recognize investments made by those who have a deep understanding of market performance and possess information typically inaccessible to regular investors as "Smart Money".
Consequently, when market movements often diverge from expectations, traders identify the footprints of smart money. For example, when a classic pattern forms in the market, traders take short positions. However, the market might move upward instead. They attribute this contradiction to smart money and seek to capitalize on such inconsistencies in their trades.
The "Smart Money Concept" (SMC) is one of the primary styles of technical analysis that falls under the subset of "Price Action". Price action encompasses various subcategories, with one of the most significant being "Supply and Demand", in which SMC is categorized.
The SMC method aims to identify trading opportunities by emphasizing the impact of large traders (Smart Money) on the market, offering specific patterns, techniques, and trading strategies.
🟣 Key Terms of Smart Money Concept (SMC)
• Market Structure (Trend)
• Change of Character (ChoCh)
• Break of Structure (BoS)
• Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
• Imbalance (IMB)
• Inefficiency (IFC)
• Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• Liquidity
• Premium and Discount
🔵 How Does the "Smart Money Concept Indicator" Work?
🟣 Market Structure
a. Accumulation
b. Market-Up
c. Distribution
d. Market-Down
a) Accumulation Phase : During the accumulation period, typically following a downtrend, smart money enters the market without significantly affecting the pricing trend.
b) Market-Up Phase : In this phase, the price of an asset moves upward from the accumulation range and begins to rise. Usually, the buying by retail investors is the main driver of this trend, and due to positive market sentiment, it continues.
c) Distribution Phase : The distribution phase, unlike the accumulation stage, occurs after an uptrend. In this phase, smart money attempts to exit the market without causing significant price fluctuations.
d) Market-Down Phase : In this stage, the price of an asset moves downward from the distribution phase, initiating a prolonged downtrend. Smart money liquidates all its positions by creating selling pressure, trapping latecomer investors.
The result of these four phases in the market becomes the market trend.
Types of Trends in Financial Markets :
a. Up-Trend
b. Down Trend
c. Range (No Trend)
a) Up-Trend : The market breaks consecutive highs.
b) Down Trend : The market breaks consecutive lows.
c) No Trend or Range : The market oscillates within a range without breaking either highs or lows.
🟣 Change of Character (ChoCh)
The "ChoCh" or "Change of Character" pattern indicates an initial change in order flow in financial markets. This structural change occurs when a major pivot in the opposite direction of the market trend fails. It signals a potential change in the market trend and can serve as a signal for short-term or long-term trend changes in a trading symbol.
🟣 Break of Structure (BoS)
The "BoS" or "Break of Structure" pattern indicates the continuation of the trend in financial markets. This structure forms when, in an uptrend, the price breaks its ceiling or, in a downtrend, the price breaks its floor.
🟣 Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Order blocks consist of supply and demand areas where the likelihood of price reversal is higher. There are six order blocks in this indicator, categorized based on their origin and formation reasons.
a. Demand Main Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
b. Demand Sub Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
c. Demand All Zone, "BoS" Origin.
d. Supply Main Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
e. Supply Sub Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
f. Supply All Zone, "BoS" Origin.
🟣 FVG | Inefficiency | Imbalance
These three terms are almost synonymous. They describe the presence of gaps between consecutive candle shadows. This inefficiency occurs when the market moves rapidly. Primarily, imbalances and these rapid movements stem from the entry of smart money and the imbalance between buyer and seller power. Therefore, identifying these movements is crucial for traders.
These areas are significant because prices often return to fill these gaps or even before they occur to fill price gaps.
🟣 Liquidity
Liquidity zones are areas where there is a likelihood of congestion of stop-loss orders. Liquidity is considered the driving force of the entire market, and market makers may manipulate the market using these zones. However, in many cases, this does not happen because there is insufficient liquidity in some areas.
Types of Liquidity in Financial Markets :
a. Trend Lines
b. Double Tops | Double Bottoms
c. Triple Tops | Triple Bottoms
d. Support Lines | Resistance Lines
All four types of liquidity in this indicator are automatically identified.
🟣 Premium and Discount
Premium and discount zones can assist traders in making better decisions. For instance, they may sell positions in expensive ranges and buy in cheaper ranges. The closer the price is to the major resistance, the more expensive it is, and the closer it is to the major support, the cheaper it is.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Change of Character (ChoCh) and Break of Structure (BoS)
This indicator detects "ChoCh" and "BoS" in both Minor and Major states. You can turn on the display of these lines by referring to the last part of the settings.
🟣 Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Order blocks are Zones where the probability of price reversal is higher. In demand Zones you can buy opportunities and in supply Zones you can check sell opportunities.
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block according to your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in the "Order Block Refine". The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block.
For risk-averse traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable as it provides a lower loss limit and a greater reward-to-risk ratio. For risk-taking traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more appropriate. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices, and this mode, which has a wider order block width, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG) | Imbalance (IMB) | Inefficiency (IFC)
In order to identify the "fair value gap" on the chart, it must be analyzed candle by candle. In this process, it is important to pay attention to candles with a large size, and a candle and a candle should be examined before that.
Candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows and their bodies should not overlap with the central candle body. The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles is known as the FVG range.
These areas work in two ways :
• Supply and demand area : In this case, the price reacts to these areas and the trend is reversed.
• Liquidity zone : In this scenario, the price "fills" the zone and then reaches the order block.
Important note : In most cases, the FVG zone of very small width acts as a supply and demand zone, while the zone of significant width acts as a liquidity zone and absorbs price.
When the FVG filter is activated, the FVG regions are filtered based on the specified algorithm.
FVG filter types include the following :
1. Very Aggressive Mode : In addition to the initial condition, an additional condition is considered. For bullish FVG, the maximum price of the last candle must be greater than the maximum price of the middle candle.
Similarly, for a bearish FVG, the minimum price of the last candle must be lower than the minimum price of the middle candle. This mode removes the minimum number of FVGs.
2. Aggressive : In addition to the very aggressive condition, the size of the middle candle is also considered. The size of the center candle should not be small and therefore more FVGs are removed in this case.
3. Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the very aggressive mode, this mode also considers the size of the middle pile, which should be relatively large and make up the majority of the body.
Also, to identify bullish FVGs, the second and third candles must be positive, while for bearish FVGs, the second and third candles must be negative. This mode filters out a significant number of FVGs and keeps only those of good quality.
4. Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the defensive mode, in this mode the first and third candles should not be very small-bodied doji candles. This mode filters out most FVGs and only the best quality ones remain.
🟣 Liquidity
These levels are where traders intend to exit their trades. "Market makers" or smart money usually accumulate or distribute their trading positions near these levels, where many retail traders have placed their "stop loss" orders. When liquidity is collected from these losses, the price often reverses.
A "Stop hunt" is a move designed to offset liquidity generated by established stop losses. Banks often use major news events to trigger stop hunts and capture liquidity released into the market. For example, if they intend to execute heavy buy orders, they encourage others to sell through stop-hots.
Consequently, if there is liquidity in the market before reaching the order block area, the validity of that order block is higher. Conversely, if the liquidity is close to the order block, that is, the price reaches the order block before reaching the liquidity limit, the validity of that order block is lower.
🟣 Alert
With the new alert functionality in this indicator, you won't miss any important trading signals. Alerts are activated when the price hits the last order block.
1. It is possible to set alerts for each "symbol" and "time frame". The system will automatically detect both and include them in the warning message.
2. Each alert provides the exact date and time it was triggered. This helps you measure the timeliness of the signal and evaluate its relevance.
3. Alerts include target order block price ranges. The "Proximal" level represents the initial price level strike, while the "Distal" level represents the maximum price gap in the block. These details are included in the warning message.
4. You can customize the alert name through the "Alert Name" entry.
5. Create custom messages for "long" and "short" alerts to be sent with notifications.

Volume Profile Histogram [SS]I usually (and by usually, I mean the past year xD) release a significant indicator as my Christmas gift to the community on Christmas Eve. Last year, it was the Z-Score buy and sell signal; this year, it's something a little more conventional. So here is this year’s gift—hope you like it! 🎁
Seems like everyone has their take on Volume Profiles (aka SVP or VSP). I decided to create one, and in true Steversteves fashion, you can expect to find all the goodies that come with most of my stuff, including a volume profile presented in a bell-curve/histogram style (chart above) and statistical frequency tables showing the cases by ranges:
And it wouldn't be a true Steversteves indicator without some kind of ATR thing:
So, what does it do?
At the end of the day, it is a form of an SVP indicator. However, it is meant to operate on a larger scale, sorting volume in a traditional bell-curve style. In addition to displaying volume, it breaks down buying vs. selling volume. Selling volume is classified as such when the open is greater than close, while buying is when close is greater than open. This breakdown allows you to see the distribution, by price range, of where selling and buying occur.
This permits the indicator to provide 2 Points of Control (POCs). A POC is defined as an area of high volume activity. Because buying and selling volumes are broken down into two, we can identify areas with high selling and areas with high buying. Sometimes they coincide, sometimes they differ.
If we look at SQQQ, for example:
We can see that the bearish point of control is one point below the bullish POC. This is interesting because it essentially shows where people may be "panic selling" or setting their stop-outs. If SQQQ drops below 18.8, then it's likely to trigger panic selling, as indicated by the histogram.
Conversely, we can observe that traders tend to position long between $18 and $24. The POC is noted in the stats table and also displayed on the chart. Bullish POC is shown in purple, bearish in yellow. These, of course, can be toggled off.
The Frequency Table:
The frequency table shows how many observations were obtained in each price range. The histogram illustrates the cumulative volume traded, while the frequency simply counts how many cases occurred over the lookback period.
ATR Range Analytics by Volume:
The indicator also has the ability to display range analytics by volume. When you toggle on the range analytics by volume option, a range chart will appear:
www.tradingview.com
The range chart goes from the minimum recorded volume to the maximum recorded volume in the period, showing the average range and direction associated with this volume. This is crucial to pay attention to because not all stocks behave the same way.
For example, in the chart above (AMD), we can see that low volume produces a general bearish bias, and high volume produces a general bullish bias. However, if we look at the range analytics for SPY:
Low volume has the inverse effect. Low volume is associated with a more bullish bias, and high volume indicates a more bearish bias. In the ATR chart, the threshold volume to transition from bullish bias to bearish bias is approximately > 78,607,268 traded shares.
The Stats Table:
The stats table can be toggled on or off. It simply displays the POCs and the time range for the VSP. The default time range is 1 trading year (252 days), assuming you are on the daily timeframe. However, you can use this on any timeframe.
The percentages displayed in the histogram is the cumulative percent of buying and selling volume independently. So when you see the percentage on the selling histogram, its the percent of cumulative selling only. Same for the buying.
And that's the indicator! I hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts. I hope you all have safe holidays, a Merry Christmas for you North Americans, and a Happy Christmas for you UKers, and whatever else you celebrate/care about and do! Safe trades, everyone, and enjoy your holidays! 🎁🎄🎄🎄⭐⭐⭐ 🕎 🕎 🕎
Brake Of Structure (BOS) By GadatasThis indicator is designed to identify and track swing highs and lows in a given market on any timeframe. It plots these swing highs and lows as solid lines on the chart. The indicator allows for customization of the line color and width and using another timeframe.
The indicator follows specific rules to determine when a new high or low is created. If the current range is considered bullish (meaning the most recent breakout was to the topside), the indicator will only update the low if a candle's body falls below the current low. However, if the current range is bearish (most recent breakout to the downside), the indicator will only update the high if a candle's body rises above the current high.
When a range is identified as bullish, the indicator will continue updating the high until a swing high is formed, denoting the high of the range. The high will only change if a candle's body surpasses the previous high. The low, on the other hand, will be updated based on the last time a candle's body falls below a previous candle's low. The lowest low after this condition is met will be assigned as the low of the range.
Conversely, when a range is identified as bearish, the indicator will continue updating the low until a swing low is formed, denoting the low of the range. The low will only change if a candle's body falls below the previous low. The high, in this case, will be updated based on the last time a candle's body rises above a previous candle's high. The highest high after this condition is met will be assigned as the high of the range.
Swing highs are determined by having lower highs to the left and right, while swing lows have higher lows to the left and right. These swings are used to determine the final high or low of a bullish or bearish range, respectively.
Tis Indicator differs from other indicators by incorporating this concept to track market structure. The indicator assumes that significant market players sell before making heavy purchases in bullish ranges and buy before selling heavily in bearish ranges. The lines on the chart represent prior highs and lows, as well as the current updated highs and lows based on this theory. By using this indicator, one can gain insights into the structure of price movement and potentially identify bullish or bearish continuations. It can also provide confluence when analyzing multiple timeframes to validate trend-following strategies.
