Volume Profile (Simple)Simple Volume Profile (Simple)
Master the Market's Structure with a Clear View of Volume
by mercaderoaurum
The Simple Volume Profile (Simple) indicator removes the guesswork by showing you exactly where the most significant trading activity has occurred. By visualizing the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) for today and yesterday, you can instantly identify the price levels that matter most, giving you a critical edge in your intraday trading.
This tool is specifically optimized for day trading SPY on a 1-minute chart, but it's fully customizable for any symbol or timeframe.
Key Features
Multi-Day Analysis: Automatically plots the volume profiles for the current and previous trading sessions, allowing you to see how today's market is reacting to yesterday's key levels.
Automatic Key Level Plotting: Instantly see the most important levels from each session:
Point of Control (POC): The single price level with the highest traded volume, acting as a powerful magnet for price.
Value Area High (VAH): The upper boundary of the area where 50% of the volume was traded. It often acts as resistance.
Value Area Low (VAL): The lower boundary of the 50% value area, often acting as support.
Extended Levels: The POC, VAH, and VAL from previous sessions are automatically extended into the current day, providing a clear map of potential support and resistance zones.
Customizable Sessions: While optimized for the US stock market, you can define any session time and time zone, making it a versatile tool for forex, crypto, and futures traders.
Core Trading Strategies
The Simple Volume Profile helps you understand market context. Instead of trading blind, you can now make decisions based on where the market has shown the most interest.
1. Identifying Support and Resistance
This is the most direct way to use the indicator. The extended lines from the previous day are your roadmap for the current session.
Previous Day's POC (pPOC): This is the most significant level. Watch for price to react strongly here. It can act as powerful support if approached from above or strong resistance if approached from below.
Previous Day's VAH (pVAH): Expect this level to act as initial resistance. A clean break above pVAH can signal a strong bullish trend.
Previous Day's VAL (pVAL): Expect this level to act as initial support. A firm break below pVAL can indicate a strong bearish trend.
Example Strategy: If SPY opens and rallies up to the previous day's VAH and stalls, this is a high-probability area to look for a short entry, with a stop loss just above the level.
2. The "Open-Drive" Rejection
How the market opens in relation to the previous day's value area is a powerful tell.
Open Above Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens above the pVAH, it signals strength. The first pullback to test the pVAH is often a key long entry point. The level is expected to flip from resistance to support.
Open Below Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens below the pVAL, it signals weakness. The first rally to test the pVAL is a potential short entry, as the level is likely to act as new resistance.
3. Fading the Extremes
When price pushes far outside the previous day's value area, it can become overextended.
Reversal at Highs: If price rallies significantly above the pVAH and then starts to lose momentum (e.g., forming bearish divergence on RSI or a topping pattern), it could be an opportunity to short the market, targeting a move back toward the pVAH or pPOC.
Reversal at Lows: Conversely, if price drops far below the pVAL and shows signs of bottoming, it can be a good opportunity to look for a long entry, targeting a reversion back to the value area.
Recommended Settings (SPY Intraday)
These settings are the default and are optimized for scalping or day trading SPY on a 1-minute chart.
Value Area (%): 50%. This creates a tighter, more sensitive value area, perfect for identifying the most critical intraday zones.
Number of Rows: 1000. This high resolution is essential for a low-volatility instrument like SPY, ensuring that the profile is detailed and the levels are precise.
Session Time: 0400-1800 in America/New_York. This captures the full pre-market and core session, which is crucial for understanding the day's complete volume story.

ICT Average Daily Range (ADR)📊 ICT Average Daily Range (ADR) Indicator
This indicator implements the Average Daily Range (ADR) concept taught by ICT (Inner Circle Trader). It calculates the average range of previous trading days and projects key levels for the current session, helping traders identify high-probability targets and reversal zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ KEY FEATURES
- Accurate ADR Calculation - Uses only completed trading sessions (excludes current incomplete day)
- ICT Judas Swing Levels - Highlights the critical 1/3 ADR levels where institutional manipulation often occurs
- Two Calculation Modes - New York Midnight (ICT recommended) or Classic Daily
- Customizable Fractional Levels - 1/3, 2/3, 25%, 50%, 75% of ADR
- Smart Labels - Display price levels and percentage from open
- Flexible Visual Style - Separate line styles for different level groups
- Session Dividers - Optional vertical lines at session start
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📅 WEEKEND SESSION HANDLING
How Forex Sessions Work:
- Monday-Thursday: Full 24-hour sessions
- Friday: Partial session (00:00 to ~17:00 NY time)
- Sunday: Partial session (~17:00 NY to Monday 00:00)
- Saturday: No trading
Impact on ADR:
Both Friday and Sunday are partial sessions which can lower your ADR average. For example: Mon-Thu average 100 pips, Fri 70 pips, Sun 30 pips = 5-day ADR of 80 pips.
Other Markets:
- Crypto: 24/7 trading, no partial days
- Futures/Stocks: No Sunday session
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 ICT CONCEPTS
Average Daily Range (ADR)

Time-Based VWAP (TVWAP)(TVWAP) Indicator
The Time-Based Volume Weighted Average Price (TVWAP) indicator is a customized version of VWAP designed for intraday trading sessions with defined start and end times. Unlike the traditional VWAP, which calculates the volume-weighted average price over an entire trading day, this indicator allows you to focus on specific time periods, such as ICT kill zones (e.g., London Open, New York Open, Power Hour). It helps crypto scalpers and advanced traders identify price deviations relative to volume during key trading windows.
Key Features:
Custom Time Interval:
You can set the exact start and end times for the VWAP calculation using input settings for hours and minutes (24-hour format).
Ideal for analyzing short, high-liquidity periods.
Dynamic Accumulation of Price and Volume:
The indicator resets at the beginning of the specified session and accumulates price-volume data until the end of the session.
Ensures that the TVWAP reflects the weighted average price specific to the chosen session.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots the TVWAP line only during the specified time window, providing a clear visual reference for price action during that period.
Outside the session, the TVWAP line is hidden (na).
Use Cases:
ICT Scalp Trading:
Monitor price rebalances or potential liquidity sweeps near TVWAP during important trading sessions.
Mean Reversion Strategies:
Detect pullbacks toward the session’s average price for potential entry points.
Breakout Confirmation:
Confirm price direction relative to TVWAP during kill zones or high-volume times to determine if a breakout is supported by volume.
Inputs:
Start Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation starts.
End Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation ends.
Technical Explanation:
The indicator uses the timestamp function to create time markers for the session start and end.
During the session, the price-volume (close * volume) is accumulated along with the total volume.
TVWAP is calculated as:
TVWAP = (Sum of (Price × Volume)) ÷ (Sum of Volume)
Once the session ends, the TVWAP resets for the next trading period.
Customization Ideas:
Alerts: Add notifications when the price touches or deviates significantly from TVWAP.
Different Colors: Use different line colors based on upward or downward trends.
Multiple Sessions: Add support for multiple TVWAP lines for different time periods (e.g., London + New York).
IME's Community First Presented FVGsIME's Community First Presented FVGs v1.5 - Advanced Implementation
ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
This indicator advances beyond basic Fair Value Gap detection by implementing a sophisticated 24-hour FVG lifecycle management system aligned with institutional trading patterns. While many FVG indicators simply detect gaps and extend them indefinitely, this implementation introduces temporal intelligence that mirrors how institutional algorithms actually manage these inefficiencies.
Key Innovations that set this apart:
- 24-Hour Lifecycle Management: FVGs extend dynamically until 16:59, then freeze until removal at 17:00 next day
- Institutional Day Alignment: Recognizes 18:00-16:59 trading cycles vs standard calendar days
- Multi-Session Detection: Simultaneous monitoring of Midnight, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions
- Advanced Classification System: A.FVG detection with volume imbalance analysis vs classic FVG patterns
- Volatility Settlement Logic: Blocks contamination from opening mechanics (3:01+, 0:01+, 13:31+ rules)
- Visual Enhancement System: C.E. lines, contamination warnings, dark mode support with proper transparency handling
BASED ON ICT CONCEPTS
This indicator implements First Presented Fair Value Gap methodology taught by ICT (Inner Circle Trader). The original F.P. FVG concepts, timing rules, and session-based detection are credited to ICT's educational material. This implementation extends those foundational concepts with advanced lifecycle management and institutional alignment features.
ICT's Core F.P. FVG Rules Implemented:
- First clean FVG after session opening (avoids opening contamination)
- 3-candle pattern requirement for valid detection
- Session-specific timing windows and volatility settlement
- Consequent Encroachment level identification
IME's Advanced Enhancements:
- Automated lifecycle management with institutional day recognition
- Multi-session simultaneous monitoring with proper isolation
- Advanced visual system with transparency states for aged FVGs
- A.FVG classification with volume imbalance detection algorithms
HOW IT WORKS
Core Detection Engine
The indicator monitors four key institutional sessions using precise timing windows:
- Midnight Session: 00:01-00:30 (blocks 00:00 contamination)
- London Session: 03:01-03:30 (blocks 03:00 contamination)
- NY AM Session: 09:30-10:00 (configurable 9:30 detection)
- NY PM Session: 13:31-14:00 (blocks 13:30 contamination)
During each session window, the algorithm scans for the first valid FVG pattern using ICT's 3-candle rule while applying volatility settlement principles to avoid false signals from opening mechanics.
Advanced Classification System
Classic FVG Detection:
Standard 3-candle wick-to-wick gap where candle 1 and 3 don't overlap, creating an inefficiency that institutions must eventually fill.
A.FVG (Advanced FVG) Detection:
Enhanced pattern recognition that includes volume imbalance analysis (deadpool detection) to identify more significant institutional inefficiencies. A.FVGs incorporate both the basic gap plus additional price imbalances between candle bodies, creating larger, more significant levels.
24-Hour Lifecycle Management
Phase 1 - Dynamic Extension (Creation Day):
From detection until 16:59 of creation day, FVGs extend in real-time as new bars form, maintaining their relevance as potential support/resistance levels.
Phase 2 - Freeze Period (Next Day):
At 16:59, FVGs stop extending and "freeze" at their final size, remaining visible as reference levels but no longer growing. This prevents outdated levels from contaminating fresh analysis.
Phase 3 - Cleanup (17:00 Next Day):
Exactly 24+ hours after creation, FVGs are automatically removed to maintain chart clarity. This timing aligns with institutional trading cycle completion.
Institutional Day Logic
The algorithm recognizes that institutional trading days run from 18:00-16:59 (not midnight-midnight). This alignment ensures FVGs are managed according to institutional timeframes rather than arbitrary calendar boundaries.
Contamination Avoidance System
Volatility Settlement Principle:
Opening mechanics create artificial volatility that can produce false FVG signals. The indicator automatically blocks detection during exact session opening times (X:00) and requires settlement time (X:01+) before identifying clean institutional inefficiencies.
Special NY AM Handling:
Provides configurable 9:30 detection for advanced users who want to capture potential opening range FVGs, with clear visual warnings about contamination risk.
VISUAL SYSTEM
Color Intelligence
- Current Day FVGs: Full opacity with session-specific colors
- Previous Day FVGs: 70% transparency for historical reference
- Special Timing (9:30): Dedicated warning color with alert labels
- Dark Mode Support: Automatic text/line color adaptation
Enhanced Visual Elements
C.E. (Consequent Encroachment) Lines:
Automatically calculated 50% levels within each FVG, representing the most likely fill point based on institutional behavior patterns. These levels extend and freeze with their parent FVG.
Contamination Warnings:
Visual alerts when FVGs are detected during potentially contaminated timing, helping traders understand signal quality.
Session Identification:
Clear labeling system showing FVG type (FVG/A.FVG), session origin (NY AM, London, etc.), and creation date for easy reference.
HOW TO USE
Basic Setup
1. Session Selection: Enable/disable specific sessions based on your trading strategy
2. FVG Type: Choose between Classic FVGs or A.FVGs depending on your analysis preference
3. Visual Preferences: Adjust colors, text size, and enable dark mode if needed
Trading Applications
Intraday Reference Levels:
Use current day FVGs as potential support/resistance for price action analysis. The dynamic extension ensures levels remain relevant throughout the trading session.
Multi-Session Analysis:
Monitor how price interacts with FVGs from different sessions to understand institutional flow and market structure.
C.E. Level Trading:
Focus on the 50% consequent encroachment levels for high-probability entry points when price approaches FVG zones.
Historical Context:
Previous day FVGs (shown with transparency) provide context for understanding market structure evolution across multiple trading days.
Advanced Features
9:30 Special Detection:
For experienced traders, enable 9:30 FVG detection to capture opening range inefficiencies, but understand the contamination risks indicated by warning labels.
A.FVG vs Classic Toggle:
Switch between detection modes based on market conditions - A.FVGs for trending environments, Classic FVGs for ranging conditions.
Best Practices
- Use on 1-minute to 15-minute timeframes for optimal session detection
- Combine with other institutional concepts (order blocks, liquidity levels) for comprehensive analysis
- Pay attention to transparency states - current day FVGs are more actionable than previous day references
- Consider C.E. levels as primary targets rather than full FVG fills

Historical Data: 1H Edge NQ [Herman]Historical Data: 1H Edge NQ
This Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with visual tools and historical statistical insights for analyzing hourly price behavior on the Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) contract.
It focuses on key concepts such as Opening Ranges (OR) and Trading Windows (TW), drawing from established trading principles like session-based ranges and return probabilities.
This unique indicator stands out by incorporating pre-computed statistics derived from over 4 years of 1-minute timeframe data, offering detailed hourly probabilistic insights in an editable sticky note format—making it a distinctive tool for in-depth analysis.
The goal is to help users visualize potential price dynamics and assess historical tendencies, enabling more informed decision-making based on past data patterns.
All calculations are based on historical price action, and the indicator does not make predictions or generate trading signals—it simply displays pre-computed statistics and visual aids for educational and analytical purposes.
Key Features and Visual ElementsVertical Lines for Time Sessions:
Orange Line - Opening Range Midline (50%)
Horizontal Dotted Lines - Opening Range High and Low
Solid Red Line - Midnight Open
Dashed Vertical lines - Opening range and trading window start/close times
Blue Dashed Line - Trading Window Candle Open
The indicator marks the start of the user-selected Opening Range (OR) and Trading Window (TW) with customizable vertical lines.
These represent the time periods where the OR is formed (e.g., 02:00-03:00 NY time) and where trading activity is observed (e.g., 03:00-04:00 NY time).
Users can adjust these sessions via inputs for flexibility across different hours.
-Horizontal Lines for Price Levels:Opening Range High and Low:
-Solid or dashed lines (customizable) show the high and low of the selected OR, extended horizontally to highlight potential support/resistance levels during the TW.
-50% OR Midpoint: An optional dashed line at the midpoint (50%) of the OR, which serves as a reference for mean reversion analysis.
-Trading Window Open Price: A line marking the open price at the start of the TW, useful for tracking returns to this level.
-Midnight Open (Red Line): A dedicated red horizontal line indicating the open price at midnight (00:00 NY time), which acts as a daily reference point for overnight price action.
Statistical Display via Sticky Note and Table:A customizable "Sticky Note" table displays pre-computed backtest results for the selected OR hour, including sections for combined results, above-midnight scenarios, and below-midnight scenarios. Content is user-editable via inputs.
A main info table shows session details, total historical sessions, and probabilities for returns (if enabled).
Customization Options: Users can toggle visuals, adjust colors, styles, widths, positions, and themes (light/dark). The indicator supports up to 500 lines/labels/boxes for historical drawing.
Logic and PrincipleThe indicator operates on a per-hour basis, treating each hour (0-23 NY time) as an independent "session" for analysis:Session Definition:
For any given hour (e.g., 02:00), the OR is the high/low range formed in that hour.
The TW is the subsequent hour where price action is tracked.
Tracking Price Action: During the TW, the script checks if price "sweeps" (crosses) the OR high or low. It then monitors for "returns"—instances where price crosses back to the TW open price or the 50% midpoint of the OR after a sweep.
Statistical Calculation: Probabilities are derived from historical counts:Total sessions: Number of historical days where data was available for that hour.
Return to TW Open: Percentage of sessions where, after sweeping OR high/low, price returned to the TW open (calculated as returns / total sessions with sweeps).
Return to 50% OR: Similar percentage for returning to the OR midpoint.
These are computed cumulatively across all historical bars loaded on the chart, resetting flags daily to ensure independence per session. No real-time predictions are made; stats accumulate from past data.
Midnight Open Integration: The red line resets daily at 00:00 NY, providing context for overnight gaps or continuations.
Breakout Origin: Scans recent bars for conditions where a breakout from OR occurs without opposite direction breach, drawing lines to the origin bar's open for visual reference.
The core principle is rooted in range-based analysis, a common technical approach where traders observe how price interacts with session highs/lows and midpoints.
By quantifying historical return rates after sweeps, the indicator highlights tendencies like mean reversion or continuation, but all insights are retrospective and depend on the loaded data.
Data Source and BacktestingThe statistical data embedded in the sticky notes (e.g., return percentages, sweep rates) was generated using Python in a Jupyter Notebook environment.
It analyzes approximately 1089 days (about 4 years) of 1-minute historical data for NQ futures, sourced BacktestMarket.
The backtests focused on NY time sessions, calculating metrics like:Sweep rates (e.g., first sweep high after above-midpoint open).
Return probabilities post-sweep.
Conditional splits (above/below midnight open).
These pre-computed values are hardcoded into the script via text areas for display, ensuring transparency.
Note: Historical performance is not indicative of future results; this is for analytical reference only.
Purpose and UsageThis indicator aims to assist traders in evaluating price direction potential by combining visual session markers with historical probabilities.
For example:If historical data shows a high probability of returning to the 50% OR after a sweep, it might suggest monitoring for mean reversion.
My auto dual avwap with Auto swing low/pivot low finderWelcome to My Auto Dual AVWAP with Auto Swing Low/Pivot Low Finder – an open-source TradingView indicator designed to enhance your technical analysis toolbox. This indicator is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is available for anyone to study, modify, and distribute.
Key Features
Auto Pivot/Swing Low Finder:
In addition to VWAP lines, the indicator incorporates an automatic detection mechanism for swing lows/pivot lows. This feature assists in identifying potential support areas and price reversals, further enhancing your trading strategy.
Dual VWAP Calculation with high/low range:
The indicator calculates two separate volume-weighted average price (VWAP) lines based on different price inputs (low and high prices) and defined time sessions. This allows traders to gain a more nuanced view of market activity during specific trading periods.
Customizable Time Sessions:
You can specify distinct start and end times for each VWAP calculation session. This flexibility helps you align the indicator with your preferred trading hours or market sessions, making it adaptable to various time zones and trading styles.
Easy to Customize:
With clear code structure and detailed comments, the script is designed to be accessible even for traders who want to customize or extend its functionality. Whether you're a seasoned coder or just starting out, the code is written with transparency in mind.
How It Works
Session Initialization:
The script sets up two distinct time sessions using user-defined start and end times. For each session, it detects the beginning of the trading period to reset cumulative values.
Cumulative Calculations:
During each session, the indicator accumulates the product of price and volume as well as the total volume. The VWAP is then computed as the ratio of these cumulative values.
Dual Data Sources:
Two separate data inputs (using low and high prices) are used to calculate two VWAP lines. This dual approach provides a broader perspective on market trends and can help in identifying dynamic support and resistance levels.
Visualization:
The calculated VWAP lines are plotted directly on your chart with distinct colors and thickness settings for easy visualization. This makes it simple to interpret the data at a glance.
Why Use This Indicator?
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or simply looking to refine your market analysis, My Auto Dual AVWAP with Auto Swing Low/Pivot Low Finder offers a robust set of features that can help you identify key price levels and improve your decision-making process.

Overnight High/LowThe script identifies the Overnight High (the highest price) and Overnight Low (the lowest price) for a trading instrument during a specified overnight session. It then plots these levels on the chart for reference in subsequent trading sessions.
Key Features:
Time Settings:
The script defines the start (startHour) and end (endHour + endMinute) times for the overnight session.
The session spans across two calendar days, such as 5:00 PM (17:00) to 9:30 AM (09:30).
Tracking High and Low:
During the overnight session, the script dynamically tracks:
Overnight High: The highest price reached during the session.
Overnight Low: The lowest price reached during the session.
Reset Mechanism:
After the overnight session ends (at the specified end time), the script resets the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables, preparing for the next session.
Visual Representation:
The script uses horizontal dotted lines to plot:
A green line for the Overnight High.
A red line for the Overnight Low.
These lines extend to the right of the chart, providing visual reference points for traders.
How It Works:
Session Detection:
The script checks whether the current time falls within the overnight session:
If the hour is greater than or equal to the start hour (e.g., 17:00).
Or if the hour is less than or equal to the end hour (e.g., 09:30), considering the next day.
The end minute (e.g., 30 minutes past the hour) is also considered for precision.
High and Low Calculation:
During the overnight session:
If the overnightHigh is not yet defined, it initializes with the current candle's high.
If already defined, it updates by comparing the current candle's high to the existing overnightHigh using the math.max function.
Similarly, overnightLow is initialized or updated using the math.min function.
Post-Session Reset:
After the session ends, the script clears the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables by setting them to na (not available).
Line Drawing:
The script draws horizontal dotted lines for the Overnight High and Low during and after the session.
The lines extend indefinitely to the right of the chart.
Benefits:
Visual Aid: Helps traders quickly identify overnight support and resistance levels, which are critical for intraday trading.
Automation: Removes the need for manually plotting these levels each day.
Customizable: Time settings can be adjusted to match different markets or trading strategies.
This script is ideal for traders who use the overnight range as part of their analysis for breakouts, reversals, or trend continuation strategies.

IB One‑Way Break & Retrace (Chicago 5m)What It Tracks
Initial Balance (IB) Range
Defined as the high/low from 08 : 30 – 09 : 30 Chicago time each day.
Plotted as steplines on your chart (“IB High” in aqua, “IB Low” in fuchsia).
Session Window
Monitors price from 09 : 30 – 15 : 00 Chicago time (the remainder of the regular day).
Break Classification
Held: Price never breaches the IB high or low during the session.
One‑Way Break: Price breaks one side of the IB (high or low) but doesn’t break the opposite side.
Discarded: Price breaks both sides of the IB—in which case the day is skipped from all statistics.
Retracement Measurement
For “One‑Way Break” days only, measures how far price retraces back into the IB range (as a percentage of the IB width).
Retracement values are capped at 100% (so extreme extensions beyond the IB don’t inflate averages).
Labeling on the Chart
Held days are marked with an orange “Held” label at the unbroken IB edge.
One‑Way Break days are marked at the furthest pullback point with a green (if upside break) or red (if downside break) label showing the retrace % (e.g. “37.5%”).
Discarded days (both‑side breaks) get a gray “Discard” label.
Summary Table (Top‑Right)
Bucket Count % Sessions Avg Ret%
Total Sessions X 100.0% Y.Y%
Held H H/Total 0.0%
Breakouts B B/Total A.A%
Discarded D D/Total –
0–20% Retrace E0 E0/B Avg0%
20–40% Retrace E1 E1/B Avg1%
40–60% Retrace E2 E2/B Avg2%
60–80% Retrace E3 E3/B Avg3%
≥80% Retrace E4 E4/B Avg4%
Count: Number of days in each category.
% Sessions: That count divided by Total Sessions.
Avg Ret%: Average retracement on only those days. (Held and Discarded rows show 0% or blank.)
How to Use
Held days indicate a very tight IB that never gave way—these can signal strong balance before a later move.
One‑Way Breakouts show directional moves that retraced back into the IB by some amount. Use the retrace % buckets to gauge typical pullback sizes after breakout.
Discarded days (both‑side breaches) are volatile or whipsaw days—excluded from your retracement analysis.
By filtering out those whipsaw sessions and focusing on clean one‑way breaks, you get a clearer picture of how deep retracements tend to be after true breakout moves.

Advanced Market TheoryADVANCED MARKET THEORY (AMT)
This is not an indicator. It is a lens through which to see the true nature of the market.
Welcome to the definitive application of Auction Market Theory. What you have before you is the culmination of decades of market theory, fused with state-of-the-art data analysis and visual engineering. It is an institutional-grade intelligence engine designed for the serious trader who seeks to move beyond simplistic indicators and understand the fundamental forces that drive price.
This guide is your complete reference. Read it. Study it. Internalize it. The market is a complex story, and this tool is the language with which to read it.
PART I: THE GRAND THEORY - A UNIVERSE IN AN AUCTION
To understand the market, you must first understand its purpose. The market is a mechanism of discovery, organized by a continuous, two-way auction.
This foundational concept was pioneered by the legendary trader J. Peter Steidlmayer at the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1980s. He observed that beneath the chaotic facade of ticking prices lies a beautifully organized structure. The market's primary function is not to go up or down, but to facilitate trade by seeking a price level that encourages the maximum amount of interaction between buyers and sellers. This price is "value."
The Organizing Principle: The Normal Distribution
Over any given period, the market's activity will naturally form a bell curve (a normal distribution) turned on its side. This is the blueprint of the auction.
The Point of Control (POC): This is the peak of the bell curve—the single price level where the most trade occurred. It represents the point of maximum consensus, the "fairest price" as determined by the market participants. It is the gravitational center of the session.
The Value Area (VA): This is the heart of the bell curve, typically containing 70% of the session's activity (one standard deviation). This is the zone of "accepted value." Prices within this area are considered fair and are where the market is most comfortable conducting business.
The Extremes: The thin areas at the top and bottom of the curve are the "unfair" prices. These are levels where one side of the auction (buyers at the top, sellers at the bottom) was shut off, and trade was quickly rejected. These are areas of emotional trading and excess.
The Narrative of the Day: Balance vs. Imbalance
Every trading session is a story of the market's search for value.
Balance: When the market rotates and builds a symmetrical, bell-shaped profile, it is in a state of balance . Buyers and sellers are in agreement, and the market is range-bound.
Imbalance: When the market moves decisively away from a balanced area, it is in a state of imbalance . This is a trend. The market is actively seeking new information and a new area of value because the old one was rejected.
Your Purpose as a Trader
Your job is to read this story in real-time. Are we in balance or imbalance? Is the auction succeeding or failing at these new prices? The Advanced Market Theory engine is your Rosetta Stone to translate this complex narrative into actionable intelligence.
PART II: THE AMT ENGINE - AN EVOLUTION IN MARKET VISION
A standard market profile tool shows you a picture. The AMT Engine gives you the architect's full schematics, the engineer's stress tests, and the psychologist's behavioral analysis, all at once.
This is what makes it the Advanced Market Theory. We have fused the timeless principles with layers of modern intelligence:
TRINITY ANALYSIS: You can view the market through three distinct lenses. A Volume Profile shows where the money traded. A TPO (Time) Profile shows where the market spent its time. The revolutionary Hybrid Profile fuses both, giving you a complete picture of market conviction—marrying volume with duration.
AUTOMATED STRUCTURAL DECODING: The engine acts as your automated analyst, identifying critical structural phenomena in real-time:
Poor Highs/Lows: Weak auction points that signal a high probability of reversal.
Single Prints & Ledges: Footprints of rapid, aggressive market moves and areas of strong institutional acceptance.
Day Type Classification: The engine analyzes the session's personality as it develops ("Trend Day," "Normal Day," etc.), allowing you to adapt your strategy to the market's current character.
MACRO & MICRO FUSION: Via the Composite Profile , the engine merges weeks of data to reveal the major institutional battlegrounds that govern long-term price action. You can see the daily skirmish and the multi-month war on a single chart.
ORDER FLOW INTELLIGENCE: The ultimate advancement is the integrated Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) engine. This moves beyond structure to analyze the raw aggression of buyers versus sellers. It is your window into the market's soul, automatically detecting critical Divergences that often precede major trend shifts.
ADAPTIVE SIGNALING: The engine's signal generation is not static; it is a thinking system. It evaluates setups based on a multi-factor Confluence Score , understands the market Regime (e.g., High Volatility), and adjusts its own confidence ( Probability % ) based on the complete context.
This is not a tool that gives you signals. This is a tool that gives you understanding .
PART III: THE VISUAL KEY - A LEXICON OF MARKET STRUCTURE
Every element on your chart is a piece of information. This is your guide to reading it fluently.
--- THE CORE ARCHITECTURE ---
The Profile Histogram: The primary visual on the left of each session. Its shape is the story. A thin profile is a trend; a fat, symmetrical profile is balance.
Blue Box : The zone of accepted, "fair" value. The heart of the session's business.
Bright Orange Line & Label : The Point of Control. The gravitational center. The price of maximum consensus. The most significant intraday level.
Dashed Blue Lines & Labels : The boundaries of value. Critical inflection points where the market decides to either remain in balance or seek value elsewhere.
Dashed Cyan Lines & Labels : The major, long-term structural levels derived from weeks of data. These are institutional reference points and carry immense weight. Treat them as primary support and resistance.
Dashed Orange Lines & Labels : Marks a Poor or Unfinished Auction . These represent emotional, weak extremes and are high-probability targets for future price action.
Diamond Markers : Mark Single Prints , which are footprints of aggressive, one-sided moves that left a "liquidity vacuum." Price is often drawn back to these levels to "repair" the poor structure.
Arrow Markers : Mark Ledges , which are areas of strong horizontal acceptance. They often act as powerful support/resistance in the future.
Dotted Gray Lines & Labels : The projected daily range based on multiples of the Initial Balance . Use them to set realistic profit targets and gauge the day's potential.
--- THE SIGNAL SUITE ---
Colored Triangles : These are your high-probability entry signals. The color is a strategic playbook:
Gold Triangle : ELITE Signal. An A+ setup with overwhelming confluence. This is the highest quality signal the engine can produce.
Yellow Triangle : FADE Signal. A counter-trend setup against an exhausted move at a structural extreme.
Cyan Triangle : BREAKOUT Signal. A momentum setup attempting to capitalize on a breakout from the value area.
Purple Triangle : ROTATION Signal. A mean-reversion setup within the value area, typically from one edge towards the POC.
Magenta Triangle : LIQUIDITY Signal. A sophisticated setup that identifies a "stop run" or liquidity sweep.
Percentage Number: The engine's calculated probability of success . This is not a guarantee, but a data-driven confidence score.
Dotted Gray Line: The signal's Entry Price .
Dashed Green Lines: The calculated Take Profit Targets .
Dashed Red Line: The calculated Stop Loss level.
PART IV: THE DASHBOARD - YOUR STRATEGIC COMMAND CENTER
The dashboard is your real-time intelligence briefing. It synthesizes all the engine's analysis into a clear, concise, and constantly updating summary.
--- CURRENT SESSION ---
POC, VAH, VAL: The live values for the core structure.
Profile Shape: Is the current auction top-heavy ( b-shaped ), bottom-heavy ( P-shaped ), or balanced ( D-shaped )?
VA Width: Is the value area expanding (trending) or contracting (balancing)?
Day Type: The engine's judgment on the day's personality. Use this to select the right strategy.
IB Range & POC Trend: Key metrics for understanding the opening sentiment and its evolution.
--- CVD ANALYSIS ---
Session CVD: The raw order flow. Is there more net buying or selling pressure in this session?
CVD Trend & DIVERGENCE: This is your order flow intelligence. Is the order flow confirming the price action? If "DIVERGENCE" flashes, it is a critical, high-alert warning of a potential reversal.
--- MARKET METRICS ---
Volume, ATR, RSI: Your standard contextual metrics, providing a quick read on activity, volatility, and momentum.
Regime: The engine's assessment of the broad market environment: High Volatility (favor breakouts), Low Volatility (favor mean reversion), or Normal .
--- PROFILE STATS, COMPOSITE, & STRUCTURE ---
These sections give you a quick quantitative summary of the profile structure, the major long-term Composite levels, and any active Poor Structures.
--- SIGNAL TYPES & ACTIVE SIGNAL ---
A permanent key to the signal colors and their meanings, along with the full details of the most recent active signal: its Type , Probability , Entry , Stop , and Target .
PART V: THE INPUTS MENU - CALIBRATING YOUR LENS
This engine is designed to be calibrated to your specific needs as a trader. Every input is a lever. This is not a "one size fits all" tool. The extensive tooltips are your built-in user manual, but here are the key areas of focus:
--- MARKET PROFILE ENGINE ---
Profile Mode: This is the most fundamental choice. Volume is the standard for price-based support and resistance. TPO is for analyzing time-based acceptance. Hybrid is the professional's choice, fusing both for a complete picture.
Profile Resolution: This is your zoom lens. Lower values for scalping and intraday precision. Higher values for a cleaner, big-picture view suitable for swing trading.
Composite Sessions: Your timeframe for macro analysis. 5-10 sessions for a weekly view; 20-30 sessions for a monthly, structural view.
--- SESSION & VALUE AREA ---
These settings must be configured correctly for your specific asset. The Session times are critical. The Initial Balance should reflect the key opening period for your market (60 minutes is standard for equities).
--- SIGNAL ENGINE & RISK MANAGEMENT ---
Signal Mode: THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL RISK PROFILE. Set it to Conservative to see only the absolute best A+ setups. Use Elite or Balanced for a standard approach. Use Aggressive only if you are an experienced scalper comfortable with managing more frequent, lower-probability setups.
ATR Multipliers: This suite gives you full, dynamic control over your risk/reward parameters. You can precisely define your initial stop loss distance and profit targets based on the market's current volatility.
A FINAL WORD FROM THE ARCHITECT
The creation of this engine was a journey into the very heart of market dynamics. It was born from a frustrating truth: that the most profound market theories were often confined to books and expensive institutional platforms, inaccessible to the modern retail trader. The goal was to bridge that gap.
The challenge was monumental. Making each discrete system—the volume profile, the TPO counter, the composite engine, the CVD tracker, the signal generator, the dynamic dashboard—work was a task in itself. But the true struggle, the frustrating, painstaking process that consumed countless hours, was making them work in unison . It was about ensuring the CVD analysis could intelligently inform the signal engine, that the day type classification could adjust the probability scores, and that the composite levels could provide context to the intraday structure, all in a seamless, real-time dance of data.
This engine is the result of that relentless pursuit of integration. It is built on the belief that a trader's greatest asset is not a signal, but clarity . It was designed to clear the noise, to organize the chaos, and to present the elegant, underlying logic of the market auction so that you can make better, more informed, and more confident decisions.
It is now in your hands. Use it not as a crutch, but as a lens. See the market for what it truly is.
"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

Blue Ocean BOATS 24/5 US Market DataThis script utilizes Blue Ocean's ATS (Alternative Trading System) and U.S. exchange market data to create a continuous candlestick chart. The continuous data has the option to be used as an indicator or strategy source.
Requirements
The main chart symbol (which can be unrelated to the user-input Ticker Symbol) needs to be a 24/7 chart. An example symbol is CRYPTO:BTCUSD. CME_MINI:ES1! and FX:SPX500 work too, but are not truly 24/5 and will miss ~4 hours of the total trading week from the extended U.S. session.
The main chart's timeframe needs to be intraday. Because the script's output is currently inconsistent on daily or higher timeframes, it will disable itself.
The Ticker Symbol chosen should be a ticker that is traded on U.S. exchanges. This will provide both U.S. extended session data and a BOATS equivalent.
Usage & configuration
This script visualizes the 24-hour Monday-Friday chart of a U.S. exchange ticker. Going a step further, it can be used to compare the performance indices or cryptocurrencies to stock constituents of indices, cryptocurrency treasury stocks or holding ETFs.
The script's output, candlesticks, can be overlaid on the main chart or used as is. A "Price Source" plot is used for indicators or strategies.
Ticker Symbol: The U.S. ticker you'd like to view extended session and Blue Ocean ATS session data for.
Price Source: Price source that can be used for indicators or strategies.
Highlight Sessions: Highlight the different trading sessions.
Last Price Line: Show a horizontal line at the last traded price.
Ticker Symbol Check: Plots a label that will display only if the selected Ticker Symbol is not detected as a U.S. exchange traded ticker.
Earnings Label: Creates a label at the time of past earnings of the chosen Ticker Symbol. The time that the earnings are plotted is approximate. Because of this, the label is meant as an explanation for price action.
What this script does and how it works
It creates OHLC candlesticks by merging Blue Ocean's ATS market data and U.S. exchange data. From the OHLC data of both, a single output can be used for indicators or strategies.

Hours mentioned are in Eastern Time.
Overnight trading remains far less active than extended hours trading. The hour with the highest overnight volume is 9:00PM, which averages 2.94 million shares per day and coincides with several Asian market opens. This volume is a fraction of the last hour of extended hours trading, which averages 43.22 million shares. The first hour of pre-core reported volume averages 113.30 million shares per day.
Overnight executions, in addition to the peak in the 9:00PM hour, also exhibits a smaller peak at 3:00AM, of 2.35 million shares. This coincides with several Asian bourses’ end of their regular trading day.

BullTrading Easy Tops & BottomsTRADING TOOL OVERVIEW
The Easy Tops & Bottoms indicator identifies potential reversal points on intraday charts by analysing volatility patterns and momentum shifts during major trading sessions. It projects horizontal zones that may act as support or resistance, adapting dynamically to price behavior.
This indicator is designed for use on intraday timeframes from 1-minute to 15-minute charts only.
HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
The indicator uses an adaptive algorithm to evaluate momentum exhaustion and volatility clusters within intraday sessions (aligned with New York local time). It generates time based zones when conditions indicate potential trend reversals, such as after volatility spikes followed by contraction. These zones extend horizontally until price breaks boundaries or a bar limit is reached.
- Support Zones : Formed during bullish sessions with tail volatility, suggesting potential bottoms.
- Resistance Zones : Formed during bearish sessions with wick volatility, suggesting potential tops.
Zones are filtered for significant sessions to focus on meaningful price action. Signals trigger based on price interaction with the zone, requiring a specific relationship between the candle's low, high, and close relative to the zone level—for example, engulfing the level but closing in the reversal direction.
Note that signals and zone behaviors will differ across timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m) due to varying candle sizes affecting how closes relate to zone triggers. Shorter timeframes may show more frequent but noisier interactions, while longer ones capture broader momentum shifts.
USERS GUIDE
What the Indicator Does?
The indicator has two operating modes: Buy/Sell Signal Mode (suitable for beginners and trend-following traders—important note: trend-following traders must filter according to their own trend criteria) and Support/Resistance Mode, which is a full and complete trading system.
- Plots Dynamic Zones: Horizontal boxes appear at qualifying session ends, representing support (bottoms) or resistance (tops).
- Active zones use a semi-transparent colour (customisable) and extend rightward while valid.
- Expired zones (after break or timeout) shift to a historical colour for reference.
- Generates Signals (in Buy/Sell Signal Mode): Labels appear on zone interactions confirming reversal potential:
- "BUY" (green) for support zones.
- "SELL" (red) for resistance zones.
- Time Based Focus: Ties to intraday periods like Asian, London, and New York transitions. Use NY Local Time in your charts.
- Additional Elements: Includes a watermark with symbol, timeframe, and date; an optional NotePad table for notes.
How to Interpret Signals
- Zone Dynamics: Active zones indicate ongoing validity; expiration signals a potential shift (e.g., a support break may turn it into resistance).
- Signal Triggers: Require price to test the zone level with a closing bias toward reversal. These are suitable for beginners learning basic reversals or trend traders adding their own filters (e.g., moving averages for direction).
- Value for Users: Beginners can use zone height to set stop-loss (SL) below/above the box, enabling a 1:2 risk-reward ratio (RR) for take-profit (TP) at twice the zone distance.
- Timeframe Variations: Expect different signals on 1m vs. 15m, as smaller candles on lower frames may trigger more selectively based on close positions relative to zones.
- Note on Entries in Internal Range Zones: For all entries (the Internal Range inside range zones), when a big zone swallows smaller zones ahead, consider using the bigger zone or the SL price level as an entry level.
PRACTICAL TRADING SCENARIOS
Here, we expand on how to apply the indicator in real-world trading, with detailed examples for each mode. These scenarios assume a basic understanding of risk management, such as position sizing at 0.5-1.5% of account capital per trade. Always backtest these ideas on historical data for your specific instrument (e.g., forex pairs like EUR/USD or indices like US30).
Buy/Sell Signal Mode: Reversal and Trend-Following Applications
This mode is ideal for spotting reversal opportunities while allowing flexibility for trend filters. Signals appear as labels when price interacts with zones in a confirmatory way, making it beginner-friendly for learning entry points. Trend-following traders should overlay their preferred trend indicators (e.g., a 50-period EMA) to avoid counter-trend trades.
Important critical note: In this mode, the 1:2 RR is based and measured directly on the zone height (not on the actual distance from entry price to SL). The correct SL placement is at the far edge of the zone (e.g., zone bottom for buys, zone top for sells), and TP is set at twice the zone height from the signal level (the key trigger price where the label appears).
- Basic Reversal Scalping (Beginner-Friendly): On a 5-minute chart during the London session open, after a sharp down-move in EUR/USD, a support zone forms with signal level at 1.0850 (zone top) and height of 10 pips (zone bottom at 1.0840). Wait for a "BUY" signal when price dips to test the zone (low touches 1.0850) but closes above it. Enter long at the current price (e.g., 1.0855). Set SL at the zone bottom (1.0840), and TP at the signal level + 2x zone height (1.0850 + 20 pips = 1.0870). This ensures the 1:2 RR is measured purely on the zone (risk = 10 pips zone height, reward = 20 pips), regardless of exact entry. If volatility is high (filter enabled), this setup prioritizes stronger sessions for better win rates.
- Trend-Following with Filter: On a 15-minute chart of GBP/JPY during New York AM, the overall trend is upward (price above a 200-period SMA). A support zone appears with signal level at 185.20 (zone top) after a pullback, with a height of 20 pips (zone bottom at 185.00). Ignore any "SELL" signals as they counter the trend; instead, wait for a "BUY" when price tests the zone from above and closes bullishly. Enter long at the current price (e.g., 185.25). Set SL at the zone bottom (185.00), and TP at the signal level + 2x zone height (185.20 + 40 pips = 185.60). Add a trend filter like MACD histogram turning positive for confirmation, reducing whipsaws in ranging markets. The RR remains 1:2 based on the zone (risk = 20 pips height, reward = 40 pips).
- Range-Bound Day Trading: In a 1-minute chart of USD/JPY during Asian session consolidation, multiple zones form stacking as support/resistance. Monitor for "SELL" at a resistance zone with signal level at 147.80 (zone bottom) and height of 8 pips (zone top at 147.88) after an uptick. Enter short on the signal at the current price (e.g., 147.78). Set SL at the zone top (147.88), and TP at the signal level - 2x zone height (147.80 - 16 pips = 147.64). Shorter timeframes like 1m may produce more signals due to tighter candle closes, but use the volatility filter to avoid flat periods—test historically to see how 1m noise compares to 15m's smoother triggers. The RR is fixed at 1:2 on the zone (risk = 8 pips height, reward = 16 pips).
Support/Resistance Mode: Standalone Contrarian System for Fading Breaks
This mode hides signals and labels, turning the indicator into a complete contrarian trading system focused on fading zone breaks. It treats broken zones as "flips"—a broken support becomes potential resistance, and vice versa. Entries use limit orders at a distance equal to the zone height, with fixed 1:2 RR based on that height. No additional filters are required, but combining with session timing enhances edge. Alerts fire on new zone creation, allowing proactive setup.
When a setup results in a stop loss in Support/Resistance Mode, the original zone can be used for a "Stop & Reverse" trade with the same trading proportions. This means reversing the position direction upon hitting SL, using the original zone to set the new entry (at the box top/bottom trigger level), SL (at the opposite box edge), and TP (2x the height beyond entry)—effectively capturing momentum in the opposite direction while maintaining the 1:2 RR.
- Fading a Support Break (Short Setup): On a 5-minute chart of AUD/USD during NY PM, a support zone at 0.6650 (height 12 pips) breaks when low pierces below 0.6638. Consider the zone flipped to resistance. Place a sell limit order 12 pips above the broken zone (at 0.6662), SL 12 pips above entry (0.6674), and TP 24 pips below entry (0.6638, achieving 1:2 RR). This anticipates sellers re-entering on pullbacks to the former support. If the volatility filter is on, this only applies to significant breaks; historically, test on pairs with clear pip values to adjust for spreads.
Stop & Reverse Scenario: If the short position hits SL at 0.6674 (price rallies above), reverse to a long position. Use the original 12-pip zone: Place a buy limit order on the original broken support (now acting as flipped resistance, at 0.6650 box top), SL 12 pips below the new entry (0.6638 box bottom), and TP 24 pips above the new entry (0.6674, maintaining 1:2 RR). This captures potential upside momentum after the false break.
- Fading a Resistance Break (Long Setup): In a 15-minute chart of Nasdaq futures (NQ) during London close, a resistance zone at 18500 (height 50 points) breaks upward (high > 18550). Flip it to support. Place a buy limit order 50 points below the broken zone (at 18450), SL 50 points below entry (18400), TP 100 points above entry (18550). This catches pullbacks in uptrends. Longer timeframes like 15m may show fewer but more reliable breaks due to broader candle relationships—compare to 1m, where smaller candles might invalidate zones quicker.
Stop & Reverse Scenario: If the long position hits SL at 18400 (price drops below), reverse to a short position. Use the original 50-point zone: Place a sell limit order on the original broken resistance (now acting as flipped support, at 18500 box bottom), SL 50 points above the new entry (18550 box top), and TP 100 points below the new entry (18400, maintaining 1:2 RR). This captures potential downside momentum after the false break.
- Multi-Zone Contrarian Scalping in High-Volatility Sessions: On a 1-minute chart of Bitcoin (BTC/USD) during NY open, several zones form and break in quick succession. After a resistance at 65000 (height 200 USD) breaks, place buy limit 200 USD below (64800), SL at 64600, TP at 65200. Conversely, for a broken support at 64000 (height 150 USD), sell limit 150 USD above (64150), SL 64300, TP 63850. Use the max bars setting to limit zone lifespan in fast markets; enable volatility filter to focus on explosive sessions like news releases. This mode's standalone nature suits automated mindsets—backtest to quantify edge, noting 1m's frequent triggers vs. 15m's strategic ones.
Stop & Reverse Scenario: For the buy after resistance break, if it hits SL at 64600 (price falls below), reverse to short. Use the original 200 USD zone: Place a sell limit order on the original broken resistance (now acting as flipped support, at 65000 box bottom), SL 200 USD above the new entry (65200 box top), TP 400 USD below the new entry (64600, maintaining 1:2 RR). Similarly, for the sell after support break, if it hits SL at 64300 (price rallies above), reverse to buy: Use the original 150 USD zone: Place a buy limit order on the original broken support (now acting as flipped resistance, at 64000 box top), SL 150 USD below the new entry (63850 box bottom), TP 300 USD above the new entry (64300, maintaining 1:2 RR). This captures potential momentum after the false breaks.
- Risk Considerations for Both Modes: Always test scenarios historically and adjust for instrument specifics like pip/point values and spreads. For example, forex might use 1-2 pip buffers, while crypto needs larger due to volatility. This is not trading advice; users should evaluate independently and consult professionals.

Version: 1.0 Last Updated: June 2025 Pine Script Version: 6
BIAS PRO - Zones + Liquidity + SP&RS [AlgoRich]This multifunction indicator is used to identify key areas on the chart, liquidity levels, and support/resistance zones (SP&RS). Its design is aimed at highlighting price pivots (swings) by drawing zones (boxes and lines) based on these pivots, while also displaying information about trading sessions and levels of analysis across different timeframes.
1. Configuration and Input Parameters
Swing Parameters (Bars Right-Left):
Two inputs are defined to adjust the number of bars on the right and left used to detect pivots (swings). This allows the determination of high and low pivot points.
Display Options:
You can choose to show or hide boxes, lines, and labels (bubbles). There is also an option to extend the zones until they are “filled” (confirmed), and you can opt to hide those zones once filled.
Appearance:
Visual parameters are defined, such as the option to display high and low pivots, colors for lines, labels, and boxes (for both bullish and bearish conditions), line styles (solid, dotted, dashed), and other aesthetic details (box width, label size, text alignment).
Lookback and Time Range:
The “lookback” and “daysBack” variables determine whether the analysis is limited to data from a certain number of days, helping to filter out older historical information.
2. Calculation of Pivots (Swings) and Zone Detection
Price Pivots:
Using the pivot functions (ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow), the script identifies swing high and low points based on the configured swing size (bars left and right).
If a swing high is detected, its bar index is stored and the corresponding signal is activated.
Similarly, a swing low is detected and marked.
Drawing Zones:
When a swing (high or low) is detected and the time range condition is met (inRange), the script draws:
Boxes: These visually represent the area around the pivot level. The configuration (type and width) is adjustable.
Lines: A horizontal line is drawn from the pivot point to the current bar, using the defined style and color.
Boxes and lines are drawn for both high pivots (showhighs) and low pivots (showlows).
Additionally, these zones are updated and extended dynamically as new bars appear, and zones that are “filled” (when the price exceeds the zone level) are removed.
Labels and Markers:
If enabled, the script displays circle markers (using plotshape) at the swing points.
3. Operational Zone (Sessions)
Customizable Sessions:
The script allows defining up to three operational sessions with distinct time ranges and colors.
For example, Session 1, Session 2, and Session 3 have configurable time ranges and colors (with adjustable opacity).
It checks if the current time falls within any of these sessions and, if so, applies a background color (bgcolor) to the chart with the configured session color.
Timezone Adjustment:
You can configure a UTC offset or use the exchange’s timezone to correctly adjust the session times.
4. Additional Levels and Analysis Groups
Groups of Levels (Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4):
Several groups are defined that allow data requests from different timeframes (e.g., 60 minutes, 240 minutes, daily, or weekly) and configure their parameters (length, line style, color).
For each group, the script uses a function that requests non-repainting data and calculates pivot levels based on ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow.
These levels are drawn on the chart with lines and “shadow” lines to reinforce the visualization of key pivot points. Labels are added with a slight offset to indicate the pivot value in the corresponding timeframe.
5. Maintenance and Management of Drawn Elements
Dynamic Update and Deletion:
The script maintains arrays to store the drawn boxes and lines. As new elements are added and the array reaches a maximum size (e.g., 500 elements), the oldest elements are deleted to avoid overloading the chart.
Extension and Hiding Conditions:
Conditions are checked to extend or delete zones based on whether the price has “filled” the area (i.e., if the current price has surpassed the zone level). There is also an option to hide zones once they are filled.
6. Session (Operational Zone) and Levels for Multiple Timeframes
Session Settings:
In addition to the pivot zones, the indicator also defines operational sessions with adjustable time ranges and colors, shading the background of the chart during those sessions.
Additional Level Groups:
The indicator allows grouping of analysis levels by timeframe, which can be useful for multi-timeframe analysis. Parameters such as length, style, and color are configurable for each group.
Summary:
The "BIAS PRO - Zones + Liquidity + SP&RS " is an all-in-one indicator that combines the detection of price pivots (swings) with the visual representation of key zones on the chart. With options to customize appearance, manage operational sessions, and group levels across different timeframes, this script is designed to help traders identify areas of high liquidity, potential breakouts, or reversals, thus optimizing decision-making based on market structure.
This explanation covers the main functionalities and workflow of the script, making it easier to understand without needing to examine the code in detail.
