IU Gap Fill StrategyThe IU Gap Fill Strategy is designed to capitalize on price gaps that occur between trading sessions. It identifies gaps based on a user-defined percentage threshold and executes trades when the price fills the gap within a day. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to take advantage of market inefficiencies that arise due to overnight or session-based price movements. An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is incorporated to dynamically manage risk and lock in profits.
USER INPUTS
Percentage Difference for Valid Gap - Defines the minimum gap size in percentage terms for a valid trade setup. ( Default is 0.2 )
ATR Length - Sets the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation. (default is 14 )
ATR Factor - Determines the multiplier for the trailing stop-loss, helping in risk management. ( Default is 2.00 )
LONG CONDITION
A gap-up occurs, meaning the current session opens above the previous session’s close.
The price initially dips below the previous session's close but then recovers and closes above it.
The gap meets the valid percentage threshold set by the user.
The bar is not the first or last bar of the session to avoid false signals.
SHORT CONDITION
A gap-down occurs, meaning the current session opens below the previous session’s close.
The price initially moves above the previous session’s close but then closes below it.
The gap meets the valid percentage threshold set by the user.
The bar is not the first or last bar of the session to avoid false signals.
LONG EXIT
An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is set below the entry price and dynamically adjusts upwards as the price moves in favor of the trade.
The position is closed when the trailing stop-loss is hit.
SHORT EXIT
An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is set above the entry price and dynamically adjusts downwards as the price moves in favor of the trade.
The position is closed when the trailing stop-loss is hit.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE
Precision in Identifying Gaps - The strategy focuses on real price gaps rather than minor fluctuations.
Dynamic Risk Management - Uses ATR-based trailing stop-loss to secure profits while allowing the trade to run.
Versatility - Works on stocks, indices, forex, and any market that experiences session-based gaps.
Optimized Entry Conditions - Ensures entries are taken only when the price attempts to fill the gap, reducing false signals.
HOW USERS CAN BENEFIT FROM IT
Enhance Trade Timing - Captures high-probability trade setups based on market inefficiencies caused by gaps.
Minimize Risk - The ATR trailing stop-loss helps protect gains and limit losses.
Works in Different Market Conditions - Whether markets are trending or consolidating, the strategy adapts to potential gap fill opportunities.
Fully Customizable - Users can fine-tune gap percentage, ATR settings, and stop-loss parameters to match their trading style.

Volume profile [Signals] - By Leviathan [Mindyourbuisness]Market Sessions and Volume Profile with Sweep Signals - Based on Leviathan's Volume Profile
This indicator is an enhanced version of Leviathan's Volume Profile indicator, adding session-based value area analysis and sweep detection signals. It combines volume profile analysis with market structure concepts to identify potential reversal opportunities.
Features
- Session-based volume profiles (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly)
- Forex sessions support (Tokyo, London, New York)
- Value Area analysis with POC, VAH, and VAL levels
- Extended level visualization for the last completed session
- Sweep detection signals for key value area levels
Sweep Signals Explanation
The indicator detects two types of sweeps at VAH, VAL, and POC levels:
Bearish Sweeps (Red Triangle Down)
Conditions:
- Price makes a high above the level (VAH/VAL/POC)
- Closes below the level
- Closes below the previous candle's low
- Previous candle must be bullish
Trading Implication: Suggests a failed breakout and potential reversal to the downside. These sweeps often indicate stop-loss hunting above key levels followed by institutional selling.
Bullish Sweeps (Green Triangle Up)
Conditions:
- Price makes a low below the level (VAH/VAL/POC)
- Closes above the level
- Closes above the previous candle's high
- Previous candle must be bearish
Trading Implication: Suggests a failed breakdown and potential reversal to the upside. These sweeps often indicate stop-loss hunting below key levels followed by institutional buying.
Trading Guidelines
1. Use sweep signals in conjunction with the overall trend
2. Look for additional confirmation like:
- Volume surge during the sweep
- Price action patterns
- Support/resistance levels
3. Consider the session's volatility and time of day
4. More reliable signals often occur at VAH and VAL levels
5. POC sweeps might indicate stronger reversals due to their significance as fair value levels
Notes
- The indicator works best on higher timeframes (1H and above)
- Sweep signals are more reliable during active market hours
- Consider using multiple timeframe analysis for better confirmation
- Past performance is not indicative of future results

NDOG + ASIA CONFLUENCENDOG (New Day Opening Gap) Visualization:
The indicator identifies and visualizes New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs), which are essentially the differences between the opening price of a new trading day and the closing price of the previous day.
For each NDOG identified, it creates a box on the chart that highlights the high and low price range of the NDOG.
The color of these boxes, as well as the number of NDOGs to be displayed, can be customized by the user.
Asia Session Highlighting:
The indicator includes a feature to highlight the Asia trading session, typically spanning from 18:00 to 00:00, but customizable to suit different time zones or preferences.
It does not dynamically calculate or display the Asia session but uses a fixed time input by the user.
The color for highlighting the Asia session can be chosen by the user.
Additional Lines on NDOGs:
The script draws horizontal lines at the high and low of each NDOG, spanning from 18:00 to 00:00, to visually represent the range of the NDOG during the Asia session.
The color of these lines can be customized.
Customizability:
The indicator provides various input options for users to customize the colors of the NDOG boxes and the lines that represent the high and low of the NDOGs.
Purpose and Usage:
This indicator is useful for traders who focus on price gaps between trading days and are particularly interested in the price action during the Asia trading session.
It helps in identifying potential zones of interest where significant price movements or trading activities could occur, especially at the opening of a new trading day.
JustaBox_NY_LexThis indicator marks two boxes around the opening hour of the chosen session(s). One around the highs and lows and one around the highest open/close and lowest open/close for that hour., its main purpose if for backtesting the DR/IDR strategy but is useful for live trading as it auto adds the boxes and STD levels. The buy and sell signals that show up are not meant for trade entries, they just give an idea of whether there was a signal that day which is a close above or below the IDR (inner box lines), from there loops are started and it tests which STD levels get hit or if the opposite end of the box is crossed it considers it a stop out and closes the loops. The data from these loops can be pulled to email and then excel using the alert system.
This is the first thing i've ever coded, I put alot of work into it but id recommend going thru a few days randomly and checking the data matches up as expected.
This indicator only pulls data from the NY session, I have two others of identical functionality, the only difference being they pull the data from the London and Tokyo sessions respectively, wanted to include all three in one but I reached a limit. Search JustaBox_LDN_Lex and JustaBox_TKO_Lex
When live, once the hour of the chosen session resolves it marks the DR and IDR lines onward for a few hours, adds a 0.5 retracement line in the middle and STD levels above and below at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, & 3.
There are labels that can be turned off, they show the prices these lines are set at.
Read the tooltips in the menu for more information.
(Might be self explanatory when you pull it but I'll add a key here for the titles of the data(had to keep them short due to character limit) and explain how the test works in the next couple of days but quickly:
Each STD levels has a true, false or NaN state, if its a buy signal for the session the STD levels below the bottom DR are turned off and will return NaN, but if its a sell signal they'll return false if they don't get hit true if they do. Each level has a cross time this is a bar number, you also get a bar number for the last bar in the DR box and one for when you received the buy or sell signal, so you subtract one of these from the STD X number and it will give you number of bars since 10:30 for NY sess or from when you received signal. Multiply that number by 5 to get the number of minutes. Gives prices for boxes, open and close prices of first and last candles in box and price of the NY day open for all sessions)
DR/IDR V1Defining Range DR and Implied Defining Range IDR for regular Session and overnight Session
This script is showing the IDR and DR for the regular trading session and for the overnight session based on the rules from the creator of the DR/IDR concept.
It works for all major Forex Pairs, BTC, ETH and the US Equity indices. This concept is based on rules and has a 80 % probability to be correct.
It should be applied in the 5 Min. Timeframe.
The timings for the RDR are from 09.30 - 10.30 am New York local time.
The timings for the ODR are from 03.00 - 04.00 am New York local time.
Rules:
1. If price in the 5 Min timeframe closes above the DR high after 10.30 am or 04.00 am then the DR low will be with 80 percent probability the low of the trading session. This is called confirmation.
2. If price in the 5 Min timeframe closes below the DR low after 10.30 am or 04.00 am then the DR high will be with 80 percent probability the high of the trading session. This is called confirmation.
3. If price closes above the IDR high after 10.30 am or 04.00 am it is an early indication that the low of the DR will be the low of the day and vice versa.

Williams Vix Fix OHLC candles plot indicator (Tartigradia)OHLC candles plot of the Williams VixFix indicator, which allows to draw trend lines.
Williams VixFix is a realized volatility indicator developed by Larry Williams, and can help in finding market bottoms.
Indeed, as Williams describe in his paper, markets tend to find the lowest prices during times of highest volatility, which usually accompany times of highest fear. The VixFix is calculated as how much the current low price statistically deviates from the maximum within a given look-back period.
The Williams VixFix indicator is usually presented as a curve or histogram. The novelty of this indicator is to present the data as a OHLC candles plot: whereas the original Williams VixFix calculation only involves the close value, we here use the open, high and low values as well. This led to some mathematical challenges because some of these calculations led to absurd values, so workarounds had to be found, but in the end I think the result was worth it, it reproduces the VIX chart quite well.
A great additional value of the OHLC chart is that it shows not just the close value, but all the values during the session: open, high and low in addition to close. This allows to draw trend lines and can provide additional information on momentum and sentiment. In addition, other indicators can be used on it, as if it was a price chart, such as RSI indicators (see RSI+ (alt) indicator for example).
For more information on the Vix Fix, which is a strategy published under public domain:
The VIX Fix, Larry Williams, Active Trader magazine, December 2007, web.archive.org
Fixing the VIX: An Indicator to Beat Fear, Amber Hestla-Barnhart, Journal of Technical Analysis, March 13, 2015, ssrn.com
Replicating the CBOE VIX using a synthetic volatility index trading algorithm, Dayne Cary and Gary van Vuuren, Cogent Economics & Finance, Volume 7, 2019, Issue 1, doi.org
This indicator includes only the Williams VixFix as an OHLC candles or bars plot, and price / vixfix candles plot, as well as the typical vixfix histogram. Indeed, it is much more practical for unbounded range indicators to be plotted in their own separate panel, hence why this indicator is released separately, so that it can work and be scaled adequately out of the box.
Note that the there are however no bottom buy signals. For a more complete indicator, which also includes the OHLC candles plots present here, but also bottom signals and Inverse VixFix (top signals), see:
Set Index symbol to SPX, and index_current = false, and timeframe Weekly, to reproduce the original VIX as close as possible by the VIXFIX (use the Add Symbol option, because you want to plot CBOE:VIX on the same timeframe as the current chart, which may include extended session / weekends). With the Weekly timeframe, off days / extended session days should not change much, but with lower timeframes this is important, because nights and weekends can change how the graph appears and seemingly make them different because of timing misalignment when in reality they are not when properly aligned.
Wave Trend w/ VWMA overlayThis is a trend-following strategy and indicator which combines the Wave Trend Strategy (Lazy Bear) by thomas.gigure with the cRSI + Waves Strategy with VWMA overlay by Dr_Roboto .
You may update the parameters of the Wave Trend oscillator or the VWMA indicator to match your own preferences. You may also adjust the Base Quantity used for determining trade size (as described below) to suit your account size and risk tolerance.
The strategy identifies potential signals based on the on the Wave Trend oscillator, originally ported to TradingView by LazyBear. When a signal is produced by the Wave Trend oscillator, trade size is determined by the VWMA.
When the VWMA is trending against the direction of the Wave Trend signal, Base Quantity x 1 is used
When the VWMA is trending neutral, Base Quantity x 2 is used
When the VWMA is trending with the direction of the Wave Trend signal, Base Quantity x 4 is used
The strategy includes the ability to limit trade signals to certain defined periods of time ("Sessions") during the trading day and, optionally, to close any open position at the end of either or both "Sessions." This may be enabled/disabled via the Limit Signals to Trading Sessions? option on the "Inputs" tab of the strategy's "Settings" window.
If you are trading on a daily chart (or longer) you must disable the Limit Signals to Trading Sessions? in order for the strategy to produce signals.
Closed Market / Back-Test Filter x 'Bull_Trap_9'Hello TradingView Traders!
This is a very valuable tool that I believe all traders will find useful.
This indicator / filter is '1 of 2'. I prefer it as a filter because it is not meant for live trade analysis. It is designed to make a trader aware of their individual trade sessions and to help aid in static chart candlestick back-testing.
Also, look for my indicator / filter, '2 of 2': 'Red Report Filter'
There are two functions to this filter.
Primary use: It allows a trader to set a session window: Open / Close.
During a trade session, like YM, I only trade 9:30 - 15:00. Without the filter, many times I have traded past my cutoff because I was focused on the chart and not the time.
With this filter on as close nears with an open trade and the filter starts to apply, I know I am at session close with no more trades upon exit. Otherwise, I know the session is done with no further trades.
It is also nice to have the filter on during the session open as a demarcation boundary.
Secondary use: It is used as a chart back-test tool.
When applied to a traders back-test chart, the trader can control their trade session envelopes for easier and more precise evaluation. The filter will allow only the candles per session that the trader wants to focus on and will filter all other non-session candles.
I can easily compare a whole week of 30m session data, concentrating solely on the filtered trade windows.
Please Note: The filter will be active as far back as the historic data prints.
Thanks for viewing!

ICT Directional FVG Indicator (Buffered SL)This is the first indicator I have ever made, and I am very new to Pine Script. I’ve tried my best to create this as a strategy, but I’m still learning, so please be kind and constructive with your feedback!
ICT Directional FVG Indicator (Buffered SL)
This indicator is designed for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, focusing on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), liquidity sweeps, and session-based trading. It automatically detects bullish and bearish FVGs, highlights them on the chart, and identifies liquidity sweep events. The indicator features three customizable Kill Zones (London, New York, and Asia sessions), each with independent toggles and color-coded backgrounds for clear visual separation.
Key features:
Fair Value Gap Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish FVGs in real time.
Liquidity Sweep Alerts: Marks potential liquidity sweep events for both highs and lows.
Session Kill Zones: Toggle each Kill Zone (London, New York, Asia) independently; background color changes only in enabled zones.
Trade Signal Visualization: Plots entry, stop loss, and take profit levels based on FVG and sweep logic, with a user-defined stop loss buffer.
Customizable Display: Easily enable or disable FVGs, sweeps, trade levels, and each Kill Zone to suit your strategy.
This tool is ideal for ICT-based traders who want a clear, automated view of FVGs, sweeps, and session activity, with full control over which sessions and signals are displayed.
Mariam Market DashboardMariam Market Dashboard – A Quick Guide
Purpose:
Shows if the market is trending, volatile, or stuck so you can decide when to trade or wait.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart. Adjust basic settings like EMA, RSI, ATR lengths, and timezone if needed. Use it before entering any trade to confirm market conditions.
What Each Metric Means (with general ranges)
Session: Identifies which market session is active (New York, London, Tokyo).
Trend: Shows current market direction. “Up” means price above EMA and VWAP, “Down” means price below. Use this to confirm bullish or bearish bias.
HTF Trend: Confirms trend on a higher timeframe for stronger signals.
ATR (Average True Range): Measures market volatility or price movement speed.
Low ATR (e.g., below 0.5% of price) means quiet or slow market; high ATR (above 1% of price) means volatile or fast-moving market, good for active trades.
Strong Bar: A candlestick closing near its high (above 75% of range) indicates strong buying momentum; closing near its low indicates strong selling momentum.
Higher Volume: Volume higher than average (typically 10-20% above normal) means more market activity and stronger moves.
Volume / Avg Volume: Ratio above 1.2 (120%) shows volume is significantly higher than usual, signaling strong interest.
RVol % (Relative Volume %): Above 100% means volume is hotter than normal, increasing chances of strong moves; below 50% means low activity and possible indecision.
Delta: Difference between buying and selling volume (if available). A positive delta means buyers dominate; negative means sellers dominate.
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength:
Below 20 means weak or no trend;
Above 25 means strong trend;
Between 20-25 is moderate trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Momentum oscillator:
Below 30 = oversold (potential buy);
Above 70 = overbought (potential sell);
Between 40-60 means neutral momentum.
MACD: Confirms momentum direction:
Positive MACD histogram bars indicate bullish momentum;
Negative bars indicate bearish momentum.
Choppiness Index: Measures how much the market is ranging versus trending:
Above 60 = very choppy/sideways market;
Below 40 = trending market.
Consolidation: When true, price is stuck in a narrow range, signaling indecision. Avoid breakout trades during this.
Quick Trading Reminder
Trade only when the trend is clear and volume is above average. Avoid trading in low volume or choppy markets.
Functionally Weighted Moving AverageOVERVIEW
An anchor-able moving average that weights historical prices with mathematical curves (shaping functions) such as Smoothstep , Ease In / Out , or even a Cubic Bézier . This level of configurability lends itself to more versatile price modeling, over conventional moving averages.
SESSION ANCHORS
Aside from VWAP, conventional moving averages do not allow you to use the first bar of each session as an anchor. This can make averages less useful near the open when price is sufficiently different from yesterdays close. For example, in this screenshot the EMA (blue) lags behind the sessionally anchored FWMA (yellow) at the open, making it slower to indicate a pivot higher.
An incrementing length is what makes a moving average anchor-able. VWAP is designed to do this, indefinitely growing until a new anchor resets the average (which is why it doesn't have a length parameter). But conventional MA's are designed to have a set length (they do not increment). Combining these features, the FWMA treats the length like a maximum rather than a set length, incrementing up to it from the anchor (when enabled).
Quick aside: If you code and want to anchor a conventional MA, the length() function in my UtilityLibrary will help you do this.
Incrementing an averages length introduces near-anchor volatility. For this reason, the FWMA also includes an option to saturate the anchor with the source , making values near the anchor more resistant to change. The following screenshot illustrates how saturation affects the average near the anchor when disabled (aqua) and enabled (fuchsia).
AVERAGING MATH
While there's nothing special about the math, it's worth documenting exactly how the average is affected by the anchor.
Average = Dot Product / Sum of Weights
Dot Product
This is the sum of element-wise multiplication between the Price and Weight arrays.
Dot Product = Price1 × Weight1 + Price2 × Weight2 + Price3 × Weight3 ...
When the Price and Weight arrays are equally sized (aka. the length is no longer incrementing from the anchor), there's a 1-1 mapping between Price and Weight indices. Anchoring, however, purges historical data from the Price array, making it temporarily smaller. When this happens, a dot product is synthesized by linearly interpolating for proportional indices (rather than a 1-1 mapping) to maintain the intended shape of weights.
Synthetic Dot Product = FirstPrice × FirstWeight + ... MidPrice × MidWeight ... + LastPrice × LastWeight
Sum of Weights
Exactly what it sounds like, the sum of weights used by the dot product operation. The sum of used weights may be less than the sum of all weights when the dot product is synthesized.
Sum of Weights = Weight1 + Weight2 + Weight3 ...
CALCULATING WEIGHTS
Shaping functions are mathematical curves used for interpolation. They are what give the Functionally Weighted Moving Average its name, and define how each historical price in the look back period is weighted.
The included shaping functions are:
Linear (conventional WMA)
Smoothstep (S curve)
Ease In Out (adjustable S curve)
Ease In (first half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out (second half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out In (eases out and then back in)
Cubic Bézier (aka. any curve you want)
In the following screenshot, the only difference between the three FWMA's is the shaping function (Ease In, Ease In Out, and Ease Out) illustrating how different curves can influence the responsiveness of an average.
And here is the same example, but with anchor saturation disabled .
ADJUSTING WEIGHTS
Each function outputs a range of values between 0 and 1. While you can't expand or shrink the range, you can nudge it higher or lower using the Scalar . For example, setting the scalar to -0.2 remaps to , and +0.2 remaps to . The following screenshot illustrates how -0.2 (lightest blue) and +0.2 (darkest blue) affect the average.
Easing functions can be further adjusted with the Degree (how much the shaping function curves). There's an interactive example of this here and the following illustrates how a degrees 0, 1, and 20 (dark orange, orange, and light orange) affect the average.
This level of configurability completely changes how a moving average models price for a given length, making the FWMA extremely versatile.
INPUTS
You can configure:
Length (how many historical bars to average)
Source (the bar value to average)
Offset (horizontal offset of the plot)
Weight (the shaping function)
Scalar (how much to adjust each weight)
Degree (how much to ease in / out)
Bézier Points (controls shape of Bézier)
Divisor & Anchor parameters
Style of the plot
BUT ... WHY?
We use moving averages to anticipate trend initialization, continuation, and termination. For a given look back period (length) we want the average to represent the data as accurately and smoothly as possible. The better it does this, the better it is at modeling price.
In this screenshot, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 9. They are both smooth, but one of them more accurately models price.
You wouldn't necessarily want to trade with these FWMA parameters, but knowing it does a better job of modeling price allows you to confidently expand the model to larger timeframes for bigger moves. Here, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 195 (aka. 50% of NYSE market hours).
INSPIRATION
I predominantly trade ETF derivatives and hold the position that markets are chaotic, not random . The salient difference being that randomness is entirely unpredictable, and chaotic systems can be modeled. The kind of analysis I value requires a very good pricing model.
The term "model" sounds more intimidating than it is. Math terms do that sometimes. It's just a mathematical estimation . That's it. For example, a regression is an "average regressing" model (aka. mean reversion ), and LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) is a statistically rigorous local regression .
LOWESS is excellent for modeling data. Also, it's not practical for trading. It's computationally expensive and uses data to the right of the point it's averaging, which is impossible in realtime (everything to the right is in the future). But many techniques used within LOWESS are still valuable.
My goal was to create an efficient real time emulation of LOWESS. Specifically I wanted something that was weighted non-linearly, was efficient, left-side only, and data faithful. Incorporate trading paradigms (like anchoring) and you get a Functionally Weighted Moving Average.
The formulas for determining the weights in LOWESS are typically chosen just because they seem to work well. Meaning ... they can be anything, and there's no justification other than "looks about right". So having a variety of functions (aka. kernels) for the FWMA, and being able to slide the weight range higher or lower, allows you to also make it "look about right".
William Cleveland, prominent figure in statistics known for his contributions to LOWESS, preferred using a tri-cube weighting function. Using Weight = Ease Out In with the Degrees = 3 is comparable to this. Enjoy!
Opening Range and Market BoundariesOpening Range and Market Boundaries
This versatile and insightful indicator combines two powerful concepts frequently used by professional traders: Opening Range Analysis and Market Boundaries derived from previous high/low levels. It is specifically designed to support intraday trading strategies and helps you identify key price zones for entries, exits, and breakout confirmations.
🔍 Features & Utility
1. Opening Range Box
What it does:
Highlights the high and low of the first candle after market open (9:15 AM IST) with a shaded box. This box spans the full trading session, from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, representing the key price range where the initial balance is formed.
Timeframe Compatibility:
The Opening Range box is optimized for 1-minute to 1-hour charts. It is most effective on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m) where intraday price movements and breakout patterns can be clearly observed.
Usage Tips:
Breakouts above or below the Opening Range box can signal potential directional bias for the rest of the trading day.
Price consolidating within the range may indicate a choppy or range-bound session.
Works well with volume and momentum indicators for confirmation.
2. Market Boundaries
What it does:
Plots horizontal lines at:
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
Why it matters:
These levels act as natural support and resistance zones, and are commonly watched by institutional traders, making them crucial for:
Spotting reversals or breakouts
Planning stop-loss and target zones
Avoiding trades around high-rejection areas
Customization Options:
Toggle ON/OFF for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels.
Independent colors and line thickness for each level, enabling you to distinguish between different timeframes easily.
🛠️ How to Use Effectively
Use during market open:
Switch to a 5-minute or 15-minute chart during the first few candles of the session. Observe the Opening Range box formation and plan trades based on breakout direction.
Confluence Trading:
Look for price action near previous session highs/lows in confluence with the Opening Range box edges. These intersections often become high-probability zones for breakouts or reversals.
Session Preparation:
Before the market opens, analyze where the price is relative to past high/low boundaries. If it's near a weekly/monthly level, be cautious — those areas can cause whipsaws or false breakouts.
Avoid low-volume breakouts:
Use this indicator in conjunction with volume tools or price action confirmation to validate the strength of a move outside the Opening Range or Market Boundaries.
📌 Summary
This indicator is designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and swing traders who want a reliable structure to guide their decisions. It visually marks the opening balance of the market and essential higher timeframe boundaries, helping you trade with discipline and precision.
AlphaTrend++AlphaTrend++
Overview
The AlphaTrend++ is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify buy and sell opportunities in trending and volatile markets. Building on trend-following principles, it uses a modified Average True Range (ATR) calculation combined with volume or momentum data to plot a dynamic trend line. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying a colored trend line, a filled trend zone, buy/sell signals, and optional stop-loss tick labels, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading, particularly in markets like futures (e.g., MES).
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the direction and momentum of a custom trend line, filtered by optional time restrictions and signal frequency logic. The trend line adapts to price action and volatility, with a filled zone highlighting trend strength. Buy/sell signals are plotted as labels, and stop-loss distances are displayed in ticks (customizable for instruments like MES). The indicator supports standard chart types for realistic signal generation.
How It Works
The indicator employs the following components:
Trend Line Calculation: A dynamic trend line is calculated using ATR adjusted by a user-defined multiplier, combined with either Money Flow Index (MFI) or Relative Strength Index (RSI) depending on volume availability. The line tracks price movements, adjusting upward or downward based on trend direction and volatility.
Trend Zone: The area between the current trend line and its value two bars prior is filled, colored green for bullish trends (upward movement) or red for bearish trends (downward movement), providing a visual cue of trend strength.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend line crosses above its value two bars ago, and sell signals occur when it crosses below, with optional filtering to reduce signal noise (based on bar timing logic). Signals can be restricted to a 9:00–15:00 UTC trading window.
Stop-Loss Ticks: For each signal, the indicator calculates the distance to the trend line (acting as a stop-loss level) in ticks, using a user-defined tick size (default 0.25 for MES). These are displayed as labels below/above the signal.
Time Filter: An optional filter limits signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC, aligning with active trading sessions like the US market open.
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to avoid unrealistic results associated with non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier (default 1.0) to control trend line sensitivity. Higher values widen the stop-loss distance.
Common Period: Set the ATR and MFI/RSI period (default 14) for trend calculations.
No Volume Data: Enable if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for certain forex pairs), switching from MFI to RSI.
Tick Size: Set the tick size for stop-loss calculations (default 0.25 for MES futures).
Show Buy/Sell Signals: Toggle signal labels (default enabled).
Show Stop Loss Ticks: Toggle stop-loss tick labels (default enabled).
Use Time Filter: Restrict signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC (default disabled).
Use Filtered Signals: Enable to reduce signal frequency using bar timing logic (default enabled).
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A blue “BUY” label below the bar indicates a potential long entry (trend line crossover, passing filters).
Sell Signal: A red “SELL” label above the bar indicates a potential short entry (trend line crossunder, passing filters).
Trend Zone: Green fill suggests bullish momentum; red fill suggests bearish momentum.
Stop-Loss Ticks: Gray labels show the stop-loss distance in ticks, helping with risk management.
Monitor Context: Use the trend line and filled zone to confirm the market’s direction before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Adaptive Trend Line: Combines ATR with MFI or RSI to create a responsive trend line that adjusts to volatility and market conditions.
Tick-Based Stop-Loss: Displays stop-loss distances in ticks, customizable for specific instruments, aiding precise risk management.
Signal Filtering: Optional bar timing logic reduces false signals, improving reliability in choppy markets.
Trend Zone Visualization: The filled zone between trend line values enhances trend clarity, making it easier to assess momentum.
Time-Restricted Trading: Optional 9:00–15:00 UTC filter aligns signals with high-liquidity sessions.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume spikes) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in highly volatile or low-liquidity markets due to ATR-based calculations.
The 9:00–15:00 UTC time filter may not suit all markets; disable it for 24-hour assets like forex or crypto.
Stop-loss tick calculations assume consistent tick sizes; verify compatibility with your instrument.
This indicator is designed for traders seeking a robust, trend-following tool with customizable risk management and signal filtering, optimized for active trading sessions.

Custom Time Range Boxes + Fibs + ExtensionThis script draws two customizable time-range boxes per day, helping traders visualize key market sessions or activity windows. Each box is defined by start and end times that can be adjusted in the settings. You can also choose a custom color and extend the visual width of the box independently from the actual session time. Within each box, the indicator plots three Fibonacci levels: 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. These levels are useful for identifying potential support, resistance, or retracement zones inside the session range. The script supports two separate time blocks, allowing you to track sessions like the New York Open and Power Hour simultaneously. All lines and boxes are drawn using bar_index for precision and control. The levels and box colors match for visual consistency. Perfect for intraday traders who want to track price behavior around key times. Clean, minimal, and performance-friendly — this tool adds clarity to your session-based strategy.
Autofib Extensions | DTDHello trader comuunity!
I'm introducing another script that is part of my main day-trading strategy. We all know regardless of what strategy we use, we need to know what levels offer the least amount of risk to our trade entry and a great tool to anticipate how far a move might go or what level a move may retrace to are the Fibonacci Retracement and Extensions. This indicator combines both together, but with a twist.
The main elements of the script are:
1. Multiple Session High and Lows | Developing my first script led me to understand that measuring key times during each session provides understanding of the market's continuity. I have provided 3 "sessions' a user can define according to CST time where the script saves the high and low of that session window to produce the retracement and extensions from those plots. Currently, the levels are always plotted from low to high (with the 0 mark being the high) and negative values provided so the levels are consistent. You can toggle each session on or off.
2. Coloring Key Retracements / Extensions | I use a dark background for my charts so the default colors help me distinguish from other another indicator I use. Feel free to adjust the colors to your preference. I consider 3 different colors because of their significance. Retracements that you want to see continue fall back into the .50 to .618 level (this I consider the "Golden Zone"). While basic Elliott Wave Theory states a wave is completed near the 1.618 level (this I consider "Major Extensions"). Everything isn't noise, but minor levels in a larger sequence.
______________
Script Limitations
All of my scripts are made with the help of ChatGPT so there are going to be limitations. One current one that I have made progress on, but not fully is when you are viewing a timeframe where the candle doesn't start when a session window starts. On smaller timeframes like the 7-minute this is not an issue. However, on the hourly, if your session window starts at the half hour which the 3rd session default window does, the lines will not produce. I will hopefully have this rectified in the near future. I will open the script since none of this work is original in nature and I would love to see how others can create a better product. Also, this is mainly a futures trading tool. If you are using this on stocks you will find it not as useful if the session window is too wide since the script waits until the session window closes to calculate the extension values.
Cheers,
DTD

Schwarzman Custom ORB with Box DisplayIndicator Overview
The Schwarzman Custom ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator is a fully self-developed script designed for traders who utilize opening range breakout strategies. This indicator allows users to customize their ORB settings, apply them to historical price data, and visually connect multiple ORBs to analyze past performance. The goal is to provide traders with a tool to backtest and refine their breakout strategies based on historical ORB data.
How the Indicator Works
1️⃣ User-Defined ORB Settings
• The user selects a custom start time (hour and minute) for the ORB.
• The user defines a duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.) for the ORB period.
• A timezone offset is included to adjust for different market sessions.
2️⃣ ORB High and Low Calculation
• The script records the highest and lowest prices within the selected ORB time window.
• The recorded values remain static after the ORB period ends, ensuring accurate range plotting.
3️⃣ Historical ORB Visualization
• Instead of only showing a single ORB for the current session, this indicator connects multiple ORBs across past data.
• This allows traders to visually analyze previous breakout performance.
• The plotted ORBs remain fixed and do not repaint, ensuring an accurate backtesting experience.
4️⃣ Stepline Visualization & Range Filling
• The high and low ORB levels are displayed using stepline plots to maintain clear horizontal levels.
• A shaded box is applied between the ORB high and low for better visualization.
Use Cases & Strategy Application
📌 Backtesting Historical ORBs – See how past ORBs performed under different market conditions.
📌 Custom ORB Settings – Adjust the start time and duration for different trading sessions.
📌 Multi-ORB Analysis – Connect ORBs over multiple trading days to study trends and breakouts.
📌 Breakout Strategy Optimization – Use the historical ORB connections to refine entry and exit points.
This indicator is particularly useful for day traders, scalpers, and breakout traders looking for a data-driven approach to trading.
Indicator Development & Transparency Statement
As a trader, I have tested various ORB (Opening Range Breakout) indicators available in the TradingView community. Through these experiences, I aimed to develop a version that best fits my own trading needs and strategy.
This script is a self-developed ORB tool, created from scratch while drawing inspiration from the concept of opening range breakouts, which is widely used in trading. Since I initially coded in Pine Script v4, I used ChatGPT to help refine and migrate the script to Pine Script v6 to ensure compatibility with the latest TradingView features. However, the core logic, structure, and customization were entirely designed and implemented based on my own approach.
I am making this indicator public not to violate any TradingView guidelines but to share my work with the trading community and provide a tool that can help others analyze ORB-based strategies. If there are any compliance concerns, I am open to adjusting the script accordingly, but I want to clarify that this is not a copy of any existing ORB script—it is a custom-built indicator tailored to my own trading preferences.
I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the community and would welcome any specific feedback from TradingView regarding rule compliance.
Best regards,
Janko S. (Schwarzman)
