HL 930 by JPThe "High and Low of 9:30 Candle" strategy is a simple trading strategy commonly used in the stock market and other financial markets. It involves using the price range (high and low) of the first candlestick that forms at the opening of a trading session, typically at 9:30 AM, as a basis for making trading decisions. Here's a description of this strategy:
1. Timeframe: This strategy is often applied to intraday trading, where traders focus on short-term price movements within a single trading day.
2. 9:30 AM Candle: The strategy begins by observing the first candlestick that forms at 9:30 AM, which is the opening time for many stock markets, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This candle represents the price action during the first few minutes of trading.
3. High and Low: Identify the highest price (the candle's high) and the lowest price (the candle's low) during the 9:30 AM candle's time period. These price levels are critical for the strategy.
4. Trading Decisions:
Long (Buy) Signal: If the current market price breaks above the high of the 9:30 AM candle, it may trigger a bullish signal. Traders may consider entering a long (buy) position, anticipating further upward momentum.
Short (Sell) Signal: Conversely, if the market price breaks below the low of the 9:30 AM candle, it may trigger a bearish signal. Traders may consider entering a short (sell) position, anticipating further downward movement.
5. Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: To manage risk, traders often set stop-loss orders just below the low (for long positions) or just above the high (for short positions) of the 9:30 AM candle. They may also establish take-profit levels based on their risk-reward preferences.
6. Time Frame: This strategy is typically used for short-term trading and may be effective in capturing quick price movements that often occur at the market open. Traders often close their positions before the end of the trading day.
7. Caution: While the "High and Low of 9:30 Candle" strategy can be straightforward, it should not be used in isolation. Traders should consider other technical and fundamental factors, such as volume, market sentiment, news events, and overall market trends, when making trading decisions.
Remember that trading strategies always carry risks, and it's essential to have a well-thought-out risk management plan in place. Additionally, backtesting and practice are crucial before implementing any trading strategy in a live market to evaluate its historical performance and suitability for your trading style.

(ENGLISH description O)
==NOTE==
1. MA 크로스 지표는 잘못된 신호들이 자주 등장합니다. 정확성을 더 높일수 있는 방법은 없을까 고민을 해봤습니다. 더 낮은 가격에 매수하고, 더 높은 가격에서 매도하는 것이 중요했습니다. 우리가 흔히 저점, 고점을 알아내기 위한 지표이자, 선행지표인 RSI를 추가하는 방법을 연구했습니다.
2. 예를 들어, MA 크로스 매수 신호가 발생했을때, rsi값이 50이면 가격이 더 떨어질 가능성이 큽니다. 하지만, rsi값이 30이하인 경우에만 매수 신호가 발생한다면, 그 가격이 저점일 확률이 매우 높아지는 원리 입니다.
3. 신호는 확률입니다. 트레이딩에 100%는 없습니다. 그 확률을 높이는 것은 리스크 관리 입니다. 분할 매수 관점으로 포지션을 잡으시거나, 단기 매매로 가져가시는걸 추천드립니다.
==rsi ma source 설정==
1. 'rsi ma' 값의 소스입니다.
2. 'rsi 길이' 는 값이 클수록 더욱 정확한 시그널이 발생합니다.
3. EMA 길이가 짧을수록 더 많은 시그널이 발생합니다. 그러나, 정확도는 떨어집니다.
==rsi ma 설정==
1. rsi를 source로한 EMA입니다.
2. rsi와 유사한 성격을 가집니다.
3. 'rsi ma' 값이 30이하이면 과매도, 70이상이면 과매수 입니다.
4. ' rsi ma long value' 이 30이면 매수 신호가 rsi ma 값이 30 이하인 경우에만 발생함을 의미 합니다.
5. "rsi ma short value' 가 70이면 매도 신호가 rsi ma 값이 70 이상인 경우에만 발생함을 의미 합니다.
==rsi 설정==
1. 실제 rsi(14,close) 값을 의미합니다.
2. rsi ma value와 비슷한 기능입니다.
3. rsi 길이가 14이므로, 값은 40~50 사이가 적당합니다.
4. 30 또는 70으로 설정할 시, 신호가 거의 발생하지 않습니다.
(ENG)
==NOTE==
1. MA cross indicator often shows false signals. I was wondering if there is a way to increase the accuracy further. It was important to buy at a lower price and sell at a higher price. We studied how to add RSI, which is a leading indicator and an indicator to find lows and highs, often.
2. For example, when a buy MA cross signal occurs, if the rsi value is 50, the price is more likely to fall. However, if a buy signal occurs only when the rsi value is below 30, the probability that the price is at the bottom is very high.
3. A signal is a probability. There is no 100% in trading. Increasing that probability is risk management. It is recommended to hold a position from the perspective of a split buy or take it as a short-term trade.
==rsi ma source option==
1. The source of the 'rsi ma' value.
2. The larger the 'rsi length' value, the more accurate the signal is generated.
3. Shorter EMA lengths produce more signals. However, the accuracy is reduced.
==rsi ma options==
1. EMA with rsi as the source.
2. It has similar characteristics to rsi.
3. If the 'rsi ma' value is below 30, it is oversold, and if it is above 70, it is overbought.
4. If 'rsi ma long value' is 30, it means that a buy signal will only occur when the rsi ma value is less than or equal to 30.
5. If "rsi ma short value' is 70, it means that a sell signal will only occur when the rsi ma value is above 70.
==rsi option==
1. It means the actual rsi(14,close) value.
2. This function is similar to rsi ma value.
3. Since the rsi length is 14, a value between 40 and 50 is appropriate.
4. When set to 30 or 70, almost no signal is generated.
Opening Range Break LRSThis script is designed for a trend-following, opening range breakout strategy. The main idea is to only trade breakouts that happen in the same direction as the short-term trend, which the script identifies using a linear regression slope.
1. Identify the Short-Term Trend
This is the first and most important step. The script does this for you using the Linear Regression and the bar coloring.
• If the bars are colored BLUE: The linear regression slope is positive. This means the script considers the short-term trend to be UP. A trader using this script would only look for long (buy) trades.
• If the bars are colored YELLOW: The linear regression slope is negative. This means the script considers the short-term trend to be DOWN. A trader using this script would only look for short (sell) trades.
This filter is designed to prevent you from trading a "false breakout" against the immediate momentum.
2. Watch the Opening Ranges Form
At the start of the trading session (8:30 AM by default), the script will begin drawing boxes for the 5, 15, 30, and 60-minute opening ranges you've enabled.
• The 5-minute box (e.g., gray) will be set after the 8:30 - 8:35 period.
• The 15-minute box (e.g., blue) will be set after the 8:30 - 8:45 period.
• ...and so on.
These boxes, which extend for the rest of the day, represent the key high and low levels established at the open. The "Live Box Extension" input simply keeps the right edge of the box a few bars away from the current price so you can see it clearly.
3. Look for a Filtered Breakout Signal
This is where the trend filter (Step 1) and the range boxes (Step 2) come together.
Bullish Trade Example (Long):
1. A trader sees the bars are colored BLUE (uptrend). They are now only looking for a break above one of the ORB highs.
2. They will ignore any break below the ORB lows, as that would be trading against the trend filter.
3. The price moves up and finally closes above the 15-minute ORB high.
4. The script will plot a green "Break 15" label. This is the trader's signal to enter a long trade.
Bearish Trade Example (Short):
1. A trader sees the bars are colored YELLOW (downtrend). They are now only looking for a break below one of the ORB lows.
2. They will ignore any break above the ORB highs.
3. The price moves down and closes below the 5-minute ORB low.
4. The script will plot a red "Break 5" label. This is the trader's signal to enter a short trade.
4. Use Multiple Timeframes for Context
The real power of this script is seeing all the ranges at once. A trader wouldn't just trade them in isolation.
• Confirmation: A "Break 5" signal is a quick, early signal. But if the price also breaks the "15" and "30" minute highs, it signals much stronger bullish consensus, which might encourage the trader to hold the trade longer.
• Support & Resistance: The other ORB levels act as a map for the day.
o As Targets: If a trader takes a "Break 15" long signal, the 30-minute ORB high and 60-minute ORB high become logical profit targets.
o As Warning Signs: If the price gives a "Break 5" long signal but is struggling right under the 15-minute high, a trader might wait for that 15-minute level to break before entering, seeing it as a key resistance level.
Summary: A Trader's Workflow
1. Morning (8:30 AM): Watch the script. What color are the bars? (Blue = longs only, Yellow = shorts only).
2. Wait: Let the 5, 15, 30, and 60-minute ranges form. The boxes will be drawn on the chart.
3. Execute: Wait for a "Break" signal (a label) that matches your trend direction.
4. Manage: Use the other ORB levels as potential profit targets or as confirmation of the move's strength.
5. Single Signal: The "Single Signal Only" input, if checked, ensures they only get one signal per timeframe (e.g., one "Break 15" long, and that's it for the day), which helps prevent over-trading in choppy conditions.
Quantum Rotational Field MappingQuantum Rotational Field Mapping (QRFM):
Phase Coherence Detection Through Complex-Plane Oscillator Analysis
Quantum Rotational Field Mapping applies complex-plane mathematics and phase-space analysis to oscillator ensembles, identifying high-probability trend ignition points by measuring when multiple independent oscillators achieve phase coherence. Unlike traditional multi-oscillator approaches that simply stack indicators or use boolean AND/OR logic, this system converts each oscillator into a rotating phasor (vector) in the complex plane and calculates the Coherence Index (CI) —a mathematical measure of how tightly aligned the ensemble has become—then generates signals only when alignment, phase direction, and pairwise entanglement all converge.
The indicator combines three mathematical frameworks: phasor representation using analytic signal theory to extract phase and amplitude from each oscillator, coherence measurement using vector summation in the complex plane to quantify group alignment, and entanglement analysis that calculates pairwise phase agreement across all oscillator combinations. This creates a multi-dimensional confirmation system that distinguishes between random oscillator noise and genuine regime transitions.
What Makes This Original
Complex-Plane Phasor Framework
This indicator implements classical signal processing mathematics adapted for market oscillators. Each oscillator—whether RSI, MACD, Stochastic, CCI, Williams %R, MFI, ROC, or TSI—is first normalized to a common scale, then converted into a complex-plane representation using an in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) component. The in-phase component is the oscillator value itself, while the quadrature component is calculated as the first difference (derivative proxy), creating a velocity-aware representation.
From these components, the system extracts:
Phase (φ) : Calculated as φ = atan2(Q, I), representing the oscillator's position in its cycle (mapped to -180° to +180°)
Amplitude (A) : Calculated as A = √(I² + Q²), representing the oscillator's strength or conviction
This mathematical approach is fundamentally different from simply reading oscillator values. A phasor captures both where an oscillator is in its cycle (phase angle) and how strongly it's expressing that position (amplitude). Two oscillators can have the same value but be in opposite phases of their cycles—traditional analysis would see them as identical, while QRFM sees them as 180° out of phase (contradictory).
Coherence Index Calculation
The core innovation is the Coherence Index (CI) , borrowed from physics and signal processing. When you have N oscillators, each with phase φₙ, you can represent each as a unit vector in the complex plane: e^(iφₙ) = cos(φₙ) + i·sin(φₙ).
The CI measures what happens when you sum all these vectors:
Resultant Vector : R = Σ e^(iφₙ) = Σ cos(φₙ) + i·Σ sin(φₙ)
Coherence Index : CI = |R| / N
Where |R| is the magnitude of the resultant vector and N is the number of active oscillators.
The CI ranges from 0 to 1:
CI = 1.0 : Perfect coherence—all oscillators have identical phase angles, vectors point in the same direction, creating maximum constructive interference
CI = 0.0 : Complete decoherence—oscillators are randomly distributed around the circle, vectors cancel out through destructive interference
0 < CI < 1 : Partial alignment—some clustering with some scatter
This is not a simple average or correlation. The CI captures phase synchronization across the entire ensemble simultaneously. When oscillators phase-lock (align their cycles), the CI spikes regardless of their individual values. This makes it sensitive to regime transitions that traditional indicators miss.
Dominant Phase and Direction Detection
Beyond measuring alignment strength, the system calculates the dominant phase of the ensemble—the direction the resultant vector points:
Dominant Phase : φ_dom = atan2(Σ sin(φₙ), Σ cos(φₙ))
This gives the "average direction" of all oscillator phases, mapped to -180° to +180°:
+90° to -90° (right half-plane): Bullish phase dominance
+90° to +180° or -90° to -180° (left half-plane): Bearish phase dominance
The combination of CI magnitude (coherence strength) and dominant phase angle (directional bias) creates a two-dimensional signal space. High CI alone is insufficient—you need high CI plus dominant phase pointing in a tradeable direction. This dual requirement is what separates QRFM from simple oscillator averaging.
Entanglement Matrix and Pairwise Coherence
While the CI measures global alignment, the entanglement matrix measures local pairwise relationships. For every pair of oscillators (i, j), the system calculates:
E(i,j) = |cos(φᵢ - φⱼ)|
This represents the phase agreement between oscillators i and j:
E = 1.0 : Oscillators are in-phase (0° or 360° apart)
E = 0.0 : Oscillators are in quadrature (90° apart, orthogonal)
E between 0 and 1 : Varying degrees of alignment
The system counts how many oscillator pairs exceed a user-defined entanglement threshold (e.g., 0.7). This entangled pairs count serves as a confirmation filter: signals require not just high global CI, but also a minimum number of strong pairwise agreements. This prevents false ignitions where CI is high but driven by only two oscillators while the rest remain scattered.
The entanglement matrix creates an N×N symmetric matrix that can be visualized as a web—when many cells are bright (high E values), the ensemble is highly interconnected. When cells are dark, oscillators are moving independently.
Phase-Lock Tolerance Mechanism
A complementary confirmation layer is the phase-lock detector . This calculates the maximum phase spread across all oscillators:
For all pairs (i,j), compute angular distance: Δφ = |φᵢ - φⱼ|, wrapping at 180°
Max Spread = maximum Δφ across all pairs
If max spread < user threshold (e.g., 35°), the ensemble is considered phase-locked —all oscillators are within a narrow angular band.
This differs from entanglement: entanglement measures pairwise cosine similarity (magnitude of alignment), while phase-lock measures maximum angular deviation (tightness of clustering). Both must be satisfied for the highest-conviction signals.
Multi-Layer Visual Architecture
QRFM includes six visual components that represent the same underlying mathematics from different perspectives:
Circular Orbit Plot : A polar coordinate grid showing each oscillator as a vector from origin to perimeter. Angle = phase, radius = amplitude. This is a real-time snapshot of the complex plane. When vectors converge (point in similar directions), coherence is high. When scattered randomly, coherence is low. Users can see phase alignment forming before CI numerically confirms it.
Phase-Time Heat Map : A 2D matrix with rows = oscillators and columns = time bins. Each cell is colored by the oscillator's phase at that time (using a gradient where color hue maps to angle). Horizontal color bands indicate sustained phase alignment over time. Vertical color bands show moments when all oscillators shared the same phase (ignition points). This provides historical pattern recognition.
Entanglement Web Matrix : An N×N grid showing E(i,j) for all pairs. Cells are colored by entanglement strength—bright yellow/gold for high E, dark gray for low E. This reveals which oscillators are driving coherence and which are lagging. For example, if RSI and MACD show high E but Stochastic shows low E with everything, Stochastic is the outlier.
Quantum Field Cloud : A background color overlay on the price chart. Color (green = bullish, red = bearish) is determined by dominant phase. Opacity is determined by CI—high CI creates dense, opaque cloud; low CI creates faint, nearly invisible cloud. This gives an atmospheric "feel" for regime strength without looking at numbers.
Phase Spiral : A smoothed plot of dominant phase over recent history, displayed as a curve that wraps around price. When the spiral is tight and rotating steadily, the ensemble is in coherent rotation (trending). When the spiral is loose or erratic, coherence is breaking down.
Dashboard : A table showing real-time metrics: CI (as percentage), dominant phase (in degrees with directional arrow), field strength (CI × average amplitude), entangled pairs count, phase-lock status (locked/unlocked), quantum state classification ("Ignition", "Coherent", "Collapse", "Chaos"), and collapse risk (recent CI change normalized to 0-100%).
Each component is independently toggleable, allowing users to customize their workspace. The orbit plot is the most essential—it provides intuitive, visual feedback on phase alignment that no numerical dashboard can match.
Core Components and How They Work Together
1. Oscillator Normalization Engine
The foundation is creating a common measurement scale. QRFM supports eight oscillators:
RSI : Normalized from to using overbought/oversold levels (70, 30) as anchors
MACD Histogram : Normalized by dividing by rolling standard deviation, then clamped to
Stochastic %K : Normalized from using (80, 20) anchors
CCI : Divided by 200 (typical extreme level), clamped to
Williams %R : Normalized from using (-20, -80) anchors
MFI : Normalized from using (80, 20) anchors
ROC : Divided by 10, clamped to
TSI : Divided by 50, clamped to
Each oscillator can be individually enabled/disabled. Only active oscillators contribute to phase calculations. The normalization removes scale differences—a reading of +0.8 means "strongly bullish" regardless of whether it came from RSI or TSI.
2. Analytic Signal Construction
For each active oscillator at each bar, the system constructs the analytic signal:
In-Phase (I) : The normalized oscillator value itself
Quadrature (Q) : The bar-to-bar change in the normalized value (first derivative approximation)
This creates a 2D representation: (I, Q). The phase is extracted as:
φ = atan2(Q, I) × (180 / π)
This maps the oscillator to a point on the unit circle. An oscillator at the same value but rising (positive Q) will have a different phase than one that is falling (negative Q). This velocity-awareness is critical—it distinguishes between "at resistance and stalling" versus "at resistance and breaking through."
The amplitude is extracted as:
A = √(I² + Q²)
This represents the distance from origin in the (I, Q) plane. High amplitude means the oscillator is far from neutral (strong conviction). Low amplitude means it's near zero (weak/transitional state).
3. Coherence Calculation Pipeline
For each bar (or every Nth bar if phase sample rate > 1 for performance):
Step 1 : Extract phase φₙ for each of the N active oscillators
Step 2 : Compute complex exponentials: Zₙ = e^(i·φₙ·π/180) = cos(φₙ·π/180) + i·sin(φₙ·π/180)
Step 3 : Sum the complex exponentials: R = Σ Zₙ = (Σ cos φₙ) + i·(Σ sin φₙ)
Step 4 : Calculate magnitude: |R| = √
Step 5 : Normalize by count: CI_raw = |R| / N
Step 6 : Smooth the CI: CI = SMA(CI_raw, smoothing_window)
The smoothing step (default 2 bars) removes single-bar noise spikes while preserving structural coherence changes. Users can adjust this to control reactivity versus stability.
The dominant phase is calculated as:
φ_dom = atan2(Σ sin φₙ, Σ cos φₙ) × (180 / π)
This is the angle of the resultant vector R in the complex plane.
4. Entanglement Matrix Construction
For all unique pairs of oscillators (i, j) where i < j:
Step 1 : Get phases φᵢ and φⱼ
Step 2 : Compute phase difference: Δφ = φᵢ - φⱼ (in radians)
Step 3 : Calculate entanglement: E(i,j) = |cos(Δφ)|
Step 4 : Store in symmetric matrix: matrix = matrix = E(i,j)
The matrix is then scanned: count how many E(i,j) values exceed the user-defined threshold (default 0.7). This count is the entangled pairs metric.
For visualization, the matrix is rendered as an N×N table where cell brightness maps to E(i,j) intensity.
5. Phase-Lock Detection
Step 1 : For all unique pairs (i, j), compute angular distance: Δφ = |φᵢ - φⱼ|
Step 2 : Wrap angles: if Δφ > 180°, set Δφ = 360° - Δφ
Step 3 : Find maximum: max_spread = max(Δφ) across all pairs
Step 4 : Compare to tolerance: phase_locked = (max_spread < tolerance)
If phase_locked is true, all oscillators are within the specified angular cone (e.g., 35°). This is a boolean confirmation filter.
6. Signal Generation Logic
Signals are generated through multi-layer confirmation:
Long Ignition Signal :
CI crosses above ignition threshold (e.g., 0.80)
AND dominant phase is in bullish range (-90° < φ_dom < +90°)
AND phase_locked = true
AND entangled_pairs >= minimum threshold (e.g., 4)
Short Ignition Signal :
CI crosses above ignition threshold
AND dominant phase is in bearish range (φ_dom < -90° OR φ_dom > +90°)
AND phase_locked = true
AND entangled_pairs >= minimum threshold
Collapse Signal :
CI at bar minus CI at current bar > collapse threshold (e.g., 0.55)
AND CI at bar was above 0.6 (must collapse from coherent state, not from already-low state)
These are strict conditions. A high CI alone does not generate a signal—dominant phase must align with direction, oscillators must be phase-locked, and sufficient pairwise entanglement must exist. This multi-factor gating dramatically reduces false signals compared to single-condition triggers.
Calculation Methodology
Phase 1: Oscillator Computation and Normalization
On each bar, the system calculates the raw values for all enabled oscillators using standard Pine Script functions:
RSI: ta.rsi(close, length)
MACD: ta.macd() returning histogram component
Stochastic: ta.stoch() smoothed with ta.sma()
CCI: ta.cci(close, length)
Williams %R: ta.wpr(length)
MFI: ta.mfi(hlc3, length)
ROC: ta.roc(close, length)
TSI: ta.tsi(close, short, long)
Each raw value is then passed through a normalization function:
normalize(value, overbought_level, oversold_level) = 2 × (value - oversold) / (overbought - oversold) - 1
This maps the oscillator's typical range to , where -1 represents extreme bearish, 0 represents neutral, and +1 represents extreme bullish.
For oscillators without fixed ranges (MACD, ROC, TSI), statistical normalization is used: divide by a rolling standard deviation or fixed divisor, then clamp to .
Phase 2: Phasor Extraction
For each normalized oscillator value val:
I = val (in-phase component)
Q = val - val (quadrature component, first difference)
Phase calculation:
phi_rad = atan2(Q, I)
phi_deg = phi_rad × (180 / π)
Amplitude calculation:
A = √(I² + Q²)
These values are stored in arrays: osc_phases and osc_amps for each oscillator n.
Phase 3: Complex Summation and Coherence
Initialize accumulators:
sum_cos = 0
sum_sin = 0
For each oscillator n = 0 to N-1:
phi_rad = osc_phases × (π / 180)
sum_cos += cos(phi_rad)
sum_sin += sin(phi_rad)
Resultant magnitude:
resultant_mag = √(sum_cos² + sum_sin²)
Coherence Index (raw):
CI_raw = resultant_mag / N
Smoothed CI:
CI = SMA(CI_raw, smoothing_window)
Dominant phase:
phi_dom_rad = atan2(sum_sin, sum_cos)
phi_dom_deg = phi_dom_rad × (180 / π)
Phase 4: Entanglement Matrix Population
For i = 0 to N-2:
For j = i+1 to N-1:
phi_i = osc_phases × (π / 180)
phi_j = osc_phases × (π / 180)
delta_phi = phi_i - phi_j
E = |cos(delta_phi)|
matrix_index_ij = i × N + j
matrix_index_ji = j × N + i
entangle_matrix = E
entangle_matrix = E
if E >= threshold:
entangled_pairs += 1
The matrix uses flat array storage with index mapping: index(row, col) = row × N + col.
Phase 5: Phase-Lock Check
max_spread = 0
For i = 0 to N-2:
For j = i+1 to N-1:
delta = |osc_phases - osc_phases |
if delta > 180:
delta = 360 - delta
max_spread = max(max_spread, delta)
phase_locked = (max_spread < tolerance)
Phase 6: Signal Evaluation
Ignition Long :
ignition_long = (CI crosses above threshold) AND
(phi_dom > -90 AND phi_dom < 90) AND
phase_locked AND
(entangled_pairs >= minimum)
Ignition Short :
ignition_short = (CI crosses above threshold) AND
(phi_dom < -90 OR phi_dom > 90) AND
phase_locked AND
(entangled_pairs >= minimum)
Collapse :
CI_prev = CI
collapse = (CI_prev - CI > collapse_threshold) AND (CI_prev > 0.6)
All signals are evaluated on bar close. The crossover and crossunder functions ensure signals fire only once when conditions transition from false to true.
Phase 7: Field Strength and Visualization Metrics
Average Amplitude :
avg_amp = (Σ osc_amps ) / N
Field Strength :
field_strength = CI × avg_amp
Collapse Risk (for dashboard):
collapse_risk = (CI - CI) / max(CI , 0.1)
collapse_risk_pct = clamp(collapse_risk × 100, 0, 100)
Quantum State Classification :
if (CI > threshold AND phase_locked):
state = "Ignition"
else if (CI > 0.6):
state = "Coherent"
else if (collapse):
state = "Collapse"
else:
state = "Chaos"
Phase 8: Visual Rendering
Orbit Plot : For each oscillator, convert polar (phase, amplitude) to Cartesian (x, y) for grid placement:
radius = amplitude × grid_center × 0.8
x = radius × cos(phase × π/180)
y = radius × sin(phase × π/180)
col = center + x (mapped to grid coordinates)
row = center - y
Heat Map : For each oscillator row and time column, retrieve historical phase value at lookback = (columns - col) × sample_rate, then map phase to color using a hue gradient.
Entanglement Web : Render matrix as table cell with background color opacity = E(i,j).
Field Cloud : Background color = (phi_dom > -90 AND phi_dom < 90) ? green : red, with opacity = mix(min_opacity, max_opacity, CI).
All visual components render only on the last bar (barstate.islast) to minimize computational overhead.
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1 : Apply QRFM to your chart. It works on all timeframes and asset classes, though 15-minute to 4-hour timeframes provide the best balance of responsiveness and noise reduction.
Step 2 : Enable the dashboard (default: top right) and the circular orbit plot (default: middle left). These are your primary visual feedback tools.
Step 3 : Optionally enable the heat map, entanglement web, and field cloud based on your preference. New users may find all visuals overwhelming; start with dashboard + orbit plot.
Step 4 : Observe for 50-100 bars to let the indicator establish baseline coherence patterns. Markets have different "normal" CI ranges—some instruments naturally run higher or lower coherence.
Understanding the Circular Orbit Plot
The orbit plot is a polar grid showing oscillator vectors in real-time:
Center point : Neutral (zero phase and amplitude)
Each vector : A line from center to a point on the grid
Vector angle : The oscillator's phase (0° = right/east, 90° = up/north, 180° = left/west, -90° = down/south)
Vector length : The oscillator's amplitude (short = weak signal, long = strong signal)
Vector label : First letter of oscillator name (R = RSI, M = MACD, etc.)
What to watch :
Convergence : When all vectors cluster in one quadrant or sector, CI is rising and coherence is forming. This is your pre-signal warning.
Scatter : When vectors point in random directions (360° spread), CI is low and the market is in a non-trending or transitional regime.
Rotation : When the cluster rotates smoothly around the circle, the ensemble is in coherent oscillation—typically seen during steady trends.
Sudden flips : When the cluster rapidly jumps from one side to the opposite (e.g., +90° to -90°), a phase reversal has occurred—often coinciding with trend reversals.
Example: If you see RSI, MACD, and Stochastic all pointing toward 45° (northeast) with long vectors, while CCI, TSI, and ROC point toward 40-50° as well, coherence is high and dominant phase is bullish. Expect an ignition signal if CI crosses threshold.
Reading Dashboard Metrics
The dashboard provides numerical confirmation of what the orbit plot shows visually:
CI : Displays as 0-100%. Above 70% = high coherence (strong regime), 40-70% = moderate, below 40% = low (poor conditions for trend entries).
Dom Phase : Angle in degrees with directional arrow. ⬆ = bullish bias, ⬇ = bearish bias, ⬌ = neutral.
Field Strength : CI weighted by amplitude. High values (> 0.6) indicate not just alignment but strong alignment.
Entangled Pairs : Count of oscillator pairs with E > threshold. Higher = more confirmation. If minimum is set to 4, you need at least 4 pairs entangled for signals.
Phase Lock : 🔒 YES (all oscillators within tolerance) or 🔓 NO (spread too wide).
State : Real-time classification:
🚀 IGNITION: CI just crossed threshold with phase-lock
⚡ COHERENT: CI is high and stable
💥 COLLAPSE: CI has dropped sharply
🌀 CHAOS: Low CI, scattered phases
Collapse Risk : 0-100% scale based on recent CI change. Above 50% warns of imminent breakdown.
Interpreting Signals
Long Ignition (Blue Triangle Below Price) :
Occurs when CI crosses above threshold (e.g., 0.80)
Dominant phase is in bullish range (-90° to +90°)
All oscillators are phase-locked (within tolerance)
Minimum entangled pairs requirement met
Interpretation : The oscillator ensemble has transitioned from disorder to coherent bullish alignment. This is a high-probability long entry point. The multi-layer confirmation (CI + phase direction + lock + entanglement) ensures this is not a single-oscillator whipsaw.
Short Ignition (Red Triangle Above Price) :
Same conditions as long, but dominant phase is in bearish range (< -90° or > +90°)
Interpretation : Coherent bearish alignment has formed. High-probability short entry.
Collapse (Circles Above and Below Price) :
CI has dropped by more than the collapse threshold (e.g., 0.55) over a 5-bar window
CI was previously above 0.6 (collapsing from coherent state)
Interpretation : Phase coherence has broken down. If you are in a position, this is an exit warning. If looking to enter, stand aside—regime is transitioning.
Phase-Time Heat Map Patterns
Enable the heat map and position it at bottom right. The rows represent individual oscillators, columns represent time bins (most recent on left).
Pattern: Horizontal Color Bands
If a row (e.g., RSI) shows consistent color across columns (say, green for several bins), that oscillator has maintained stable phase over time. If all rows show horizontal bands of similar color, the entire ensemble has been phase-locked for an extended period—this is a strong trending regime.
Pattern: Vertical Color Bands
If a column (single time bin) shows all cells with the same or very similar color, that moment in time had high coherence. These vertical bands often align with ignition signals or major price pivots.
Pattern: Rainbow Chaos
If cells are random colors (red, green, yellow mixed with no pattern), coherence is low. The ensemble is scattered. Avoid trading during these periods unless you have external confirmation.
Pattern: Color Transition
If you see a row transition from red to green (or vice versa) sharply, that oscillator has phase-flipped. If multiple rows do this simultaneously, a regime change is underway.
Entanglement Web Analysis
Enable the web matrix (default: opposite corner from heat map). It shows an N×N grid where N = number of active oscillators.
Bright Yellow/Gold Cells : High pairwise entanglement. For example, if the RSI-MACD cell is bright gold, those two oscillators are moving in phase. If the RSI-Stochastic cell is bright, they are entangled as well.
Dark Gray Cells : Low entanglement. Oscillators are decorrelated or in quadrature.
Diagonal : Always marked with "—" because an oscillator is always perfectly entangled with itself.
How to use :
Scan for clustering: If most cells are bright, coherence is high across the board. If only a few cells are bright, coherence is driven by a subset (e.g., RSI and MACD are aligned, but nothing else is—weak signal).
Identify laggards: If one row/column is entirely dark, that oscillator is the outlier. You may choose to disable it or monitor for when it joins the group (late confirmation).
Watch for web formation: During low-coherence periods, the matrix is mostly dark. As coherence builds, cells begin lighting up. A sudden "web" of connections forming visually precedes ignition signals.
Trading Workflow
Step 1: Monitor Coherence Level
Check the dashboard CI metric or observe the orbit plot. If CI is below 40% and vectors are scattered, conditions are poor for trend entries. Wait.
Step 2: Detect Coherence Building
When CI begins rising (say, from 30% to 50-60%) and you notice vectors on the orbit plot starting to cluster, coherence is forming. This is your alert phase—do not enter yet, but prepare.
Step 3: Confirm Phase Direction
Check the dominant phase angle and the orbit plot quadrant where clustering is occurring:
Clustering in right half (0° to ±90°): Bullish bias forming
Clustering in left half (±90° to 180°): Bearish bias forming
Verify the dashboard shows the corresponding directional arrow (⬆ or ⬇).
Step 4: Wait for Signal Confirmation
Do not enter based on rising CI alone. Wait for the full ignition signal:
CI crosses above threshold
Phase-lock indicator shows 🔒 YES
Entangled pairs count >= minimum
Directional triangle appears on chart
This ensures all layers have aligned.
Step 5: Execute Entry
Long : Blue triangle below price appears → enter long
Short : Red triangle above price appears → enter short
Step 6: Position Management
Initial Stop : Place stop loss based on your risk management rules (e.g., recent swing low/high, ATR-based buffer).
Monitoring :
Watch the field cloud density. If it remains opaque and colored in your direction, the regime is intact.
Check dashboard collapse risk. If it rises above 50%, prepare for exit.
Monitor the orbit plot. If vectors begin scattering or the cluster flips to the opposite side, coherence is breaking.
Exit Triggers :
Collapse signal fires (circles appear)
Dominant phase flips to opposite half-plane
CI drops below 40% (coherence lost)
Price hits your profit target or trailing stop
Step 7: Post-Exit Analysis
After exiting, observe whether a new ignition forms in the opposite direction (reversal) or if CI remains low (transition to range). Use this to decide whether to re-enter, reverse, or stand aside.
Best Practices
Use Price Structure as Context
QRFM identifies when coherence forms but does not specify where price will go. Combine ignition signals with support/resistance levels, trendlines, or chart patterns. For example:
Long ignition near a major support level after a pullback: high-probability bounce
Long ignition in the middle of a range with no structure: lower probability
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Open QRFM on two timeframes simultaneously:
Higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour): Use CI level to determine regime bias. If 4H CI is above 60% and dominant phase is bullish, the market is in a bullish regime.
Lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute): Execute entries on ignition signals that align with the higher timeframe bias.
This prevents counter-trend trades and increases win rate.
Distinguish Between Regime Types
High CI, stable dominant phase (State: Coherent) : Trending market. Ignitions are continuation signals; collapses are profit-taking or reversal warnings.
Low CI, erratic dominant phase (State: Chaos) : Ranging or choppy market. Avoid ignition signals or reduce position size. Wait for coherence to establish.
Moderate CI with frequent collapses : Whipsaw environment. Use wider stops or stand aside.
Adjust Parameters to Instrument and Timeframe
Crypto/Forex (high volatility) : Lower ignition threshold (0.65-0.75), lower CI smoothing (2-3), shorter oscillator lengths (7-10).
Stocks/Indices (moderate volatility) : Standard settings (threshold 0.75-0.85, smoothing 5-7, oscillator lengths 14).
Lower timeframes (5-15 min) : Reduce phase sample rate to 1-2 for responsiveness.
Higher timeframes (daily+) : Increase CI smoothing and oscillator lengths for noise reduction.
Use Entanglement Count as Conviction Filter
The minimum entangled pairs setting controls signal strictness:
Low (1-2) : More signals, lower quality (acceptable if you have other confirmation)
Medium (3-5) : Balanced (recommended for most traders)
High (6+) : Very strict, fewer signals, highest quality
Adjust based on your trade frequency preference and risk tolerance.
Monitor Oscillator Contribution
Use the entanglement web to see which oscillators are driving coherence. If certain oscillators are consistently dark (low E with all others), they may be adding noise. Consider disabling them. For example:
On low-volume instruments, MFI may be unreliable → disable MFI
On strongly trending instruments, mean-reversion oscillators (Stochastic, RSI) may lag → reduce weight or disable
Respect the Collapse Signal
Collapse events are early warnings. Price may continue in the original direction for several bars after collapse fires, but the underlying regime has weakened. Best practice:
If in profit: Take partial or full profit on collapse
If at breakeven/small loss: Exit immediately
If collapse occurs shortly after entry: Likely a false ignition; exit to avoid drawdown
Collapses do not guarantee immediate reversals—they signal uncertainty .
Combine with Volume Analysis
If your instrument has reliable volume:
Ignitions with expanding volume: Higher conviction
Ignitions with declining volume: Weaker, possibly false
Collapses with volume spikes: Strong reversal signal
Collapses with low volume: May just be consolidation
Volume is not built into QRFM (except via MFI), so add it as external confirmation.
Observe the Phase Spiral
The spiral provides a quick visual cue for rotation consistency:
Tight, smooth spiral : Ensemble is rotating coherently (trending)
Loose, erratic spiral : Phase is jumping around (ranging or transitional)
If the spiral tightens, coherence is building. If it loosens, coherence is dissolving.
Do Not Overtrade Low-Coherence Periods
When CI is persistently below 40% and the state is "Chaos," the market is not in a regime where phase analysis is predictive. During these times:
Reduce position size
Widen stops
Wait for coherence to return
QRFM's strength is regime detection. If there is no regime, the tool correctly signals "stand aside."
Use Alerts Strategically
Set alerts for:
Long Ignition
Short Ignition
Collapse
Phase Lock (optional)
Configure alerts to "Once per bar close" to avoid intrabar repainting and noise. When an alert fires, manually verify:
Orbit plot shows clustering
Dashboard confirms all conditions
Price structure supports the trade
Do not blindly trade alerts—use them as prompts for analysis.
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance
Instruments :
Liquid, actively traded markets (major forex pairs, large-cap stocks, major indices, top-tier crypto)
Instruments with clear cyclical oscillator behavior (avoid extremely illiquid or manipulated markets)
Timeframes :
15-minute to 4-hour: Optimal balance of noise reduction and responsiveness
1-hour to daily: Slower, higher-conviction signals; good for swing trading
5-minute: Acceptable for scalping if parameters are tightened and you accept more noise
Market Regimes :
Trending markets with periodic retracements (where oscillators cycle through phases predictably)
Breakout environments (coherence forms before/during breakout; collapse occurs at exhaustion)
Rotational markets with clear swings (oscillators phase-lock at turning points)
Volatility :
Moderate to high volatility (oscillators have room to move through their ranges)
Stable volatility regimes (sudden VIX spikes or flash crashes may create false collapses)
Challenging Conditions
Instruments :
Very low liquidity markets (erratic price action creates unstable oscillator phases)
Heavily news-driven instruments (fundamentals may override technical coherence)
Highly correlated instruments (oscillators may all reflect the same underlying factor, reducing independence)
Market Regimes :
Deep, prolonged consolidation (oscillators remain near neutral, CI is chronically low, few signals fire)
Extreme chop with no directional bias (oscillators whipsaw, coherence never establishes)
Gap-driven markets (large overnight gaps create phase discontinuities)
Timeframes :
Sub-5-minute charts: Noise dominates; oscillators flip rapidly; coherence is fleeting and unreliable
Weekly/monthly: Oscillators move extremely slowly; signals are rare; better suited for long-term positioning than active trading
Special Cases :
During major economic releases or earnings: Oscillators may lag price or become decorrelated as fundamentals overwhelm technicals. Reduce position size or stand aside.
In extremely low-volatility environments (e.g., holiday periods): Oscillators compress to neutral, CI may be artificially high due to lack of movement, but signals lack follow-through.
Adaptive Behavior
QRFM is designed to self-adapt to poor conditions:
When coherence is genuinely absent, CI remains low and signals do not fire
When only a subset of oscillators aligns, entangled pairs count stays below threshold and signals are filtered out
When phase-lock cannot be achieved (oscillators too scattered), the lock filter prevents signals
This means the indicator will naturally produce fewer (or zero) signals during unfavorable conditions, rather than generating false signals. This is a feature —it keeps you out of low-probability trades.

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify periods of phase coherence across an ensemble of oscillators. It is not a standalone trading system and does not guarantee profitable trades. The Coherence Index, dominant phase, and entanglement metrics are mathematical calculations applied to historical price data—they measure past oscillator behavior and do not predict future price movements with certainty.
No Predictive Guarantee : High coherence indicates that oscillators are currently aligned, which historically has coincided with trending or directional price movement. However, past alignment does not guarantee future trends. Markets can remain coherent while prices consolidate, or lose coherence suddenly due to news, liquidity changes, or other factors not captured by oscillator mathematics.
Signal Confirmation is Probabilistic : The multi-layer confirmation system (CI threshold + dominant phase + phase-lock + entanglement) is designed to filter out low-probability setups. This increases the proportion of valid signals relative to false signals, but does not eliminate false signals entirely. Users should combine QRFM with additional analysis—support and resistance levels, volume confirmation, multi-timeframe alignment, and fundamental context—before executing trades.
Collapse Signals are Warnings, Not Reversals : A coherence collapse indicates that the oscillator ensemble has lost alignment. This often precedes trend exhaustion or reversals, but can also occur during healthy pullbacks or consolidations. Price may continue in the original direction after a collapse. Use collapses as risk management cues (tighten stops, take partial profits) rather than automatic reversal entries.
Market Regime Dependency : QRFM performs best in markets where oscillators exhibit cyclical, mean-reverting behavior and where trends are punctuated by retracements. In markets dominated by fundamental shocks, gap openings, or extreme low-liquidity conditions, oscillator coherence may be less reliable. During such periods, reduce position size or stand aside.
Risk Management is Essential : All trading involves risk of loss. Use appropriate stop losses, position sizing, and risk-per-trade limits. The indicator does not specify stop loss or take profit levels—these must be determined by the user based on their risk tolerance and account size. Never risk more than you can afford to lose.
Parameter Sensitivity : The indicator's behavior changes with input parameters. Aggressive settings (low thresholds, loose tolerances) produce more signals with lower average quality. Conservative settings (high thresholds, tight tolerances) produce fewer signals with higher average quality. Users should backtest and forward-test parameter sets on their specific instruments and timeframes before committing real capital.
No Repainting by Design : All signal conditions are evaluated on bar close using bar-close values. However, the visual components (orbit plot, heat map, dashboard) update in real-time during bar formation for monitoring purposes. For trade execution, rely on the confirmed signals (triangles and circles) that appear only after the bar closes.
Computational Load : QRFM performs extensive calculations, including nested loops for entanglement matrices and real-time table rendering. On lower-powered devices or when running multiple indicators simultaneously, users may experience lag. Use the performance optimization settings (reduce visual complexity, increase phase sample rate, disable unused oscillators) to improve responsiveness.
This system is most effective when used as one component within a broader trading methodology that includes sound risk management, multi-timeframe analysis, market context awareness, and disciplined execution. It is a tool for regime detection and signal confirmation, not a substitute for comprehensive trade planning.
Technical Notes
Calculation Timing : All signal logic (ignition, collapse) is evaluated using bar-close values. The barstate.isconfirmed or implicit bar-close behavior ensures signals do not repaint. Visual components (tables, plots) render on every tick for real-time feedback but do not affect signal generation.
Phase Wrapping : Phase angles are calculated in the range -180° to +180° using atan2. Angular distance calculations account for wrapping (e.g., the distance between +170° and -170° is 20°, not 340°). This ensures phase-lock detection works correctly across the ±180° boundary.
Array Management : The indicator uses fixed-size arrays for oscillator phases, amplitudes, and the entanglement matrix. The maximum number of oscillators is 8. If fewer oscillators are enabled, array sizes shrink accordingly (only active oscillators are processed).
Matrix Indexing : The entanglement matrix is stored as a flat array with size N×N, where N is the number of active oscillators. Index mapping: index(row, col) = row × N + col. Symmetric pairs (i,j) and (j,i) are stored identically.
Normalization Stability : Oscillators are normalized to using fixed reference levels (e.g., RSI overbought/oversold at 70/30). For unbounded oscillators (MACD, ROC, TSI), statistical normalization (division by rolling standard deviation) is used, with clamping to prevent extreme outliers from distorting phase calculations.
Smoothing and Lag : The CI smoothing window (SMA) introduces lag proportional to the window size. This is intentional—it filters out single-bar noise spikes in coherence. Users requiring faster reaction can reduce the smoothing window to 1-2 bars, at the cost of increased sensitivity to noise.
Complex Number Representation : Pine Script does not have native complex number types. Complex arithmetic is implemented using separate real and imaginary accumulators (sum_cos, sum_sin) and manual calculation of magnitude (sqrt(real² + imag²)) and argument (atan2(imag, real)).
Lookback Limits : The indicator respects Pine Script's maximum lookback constraints. Historical phase and amplitude values are accessed using the operator, with lookback limited to the chart's available bar history (max_bars_back=5000 declared).
Visual Rendering Performance : Tables (orbit plot, heat map, web, dashboard) are conditionally deleted and recreated on each update using table.delete() and table.new(). This prevents memory leaks but incurs redraw overhead. Rendering is restricted to barstate.islast (last bar) to minimize computational load—historical bars do not render visuals.
Alert Condition Triggers : alertcondition() functions evaluate on bar close when their boolean conditions transition from false to true. Alerts do not fire repeatedly while a condition remains true (e.g., CI stays above threshold for 10 bars fires only once on the initial cross).
Color Gradient Functions : The phaseColor() function maps phase angles to RGB hues using sine waves offset by 120° (red, green, blue channels). This creates a continuous spectrum where -180° to +180° spans the full color wheel. The amplitudeColor() function maps amplitude to grayscale intensity. The coherenceColor() function uses cos(phase) to map contribution to CI (positive = green, negative = red).
No External Data Requests : QRFM operates entirely on the chart's symbol and timeframe. It does not use request.security() or access external data sources. All calculations are self-contained, avoiding lookahead bias from higher-timeframe requests.
Deterministic Behavior : Given identical input parameters and price data, QRFM produces identical outputs. There are no random elements, probabilistic sampling, or time-of-day dependencies.

Previous TPOIndicator Summary
This Pine Script indicator, "Previous TPO," is designed to calculate and display five key price levels from the previous trading day's market activity. It uses a 30-minute TPO (Time Price Opportunity) profile, which is a method of organizing price by time to find areas of high and low activity.
The five levels it plots on the current day are:
1. Previous Value Area High (VAH)
2. Previous Value Area Low (VAL)
3. Previous Point of Control (POC)
4. Previous Initial Balance High (IBH)
5. Previous Initial Balance Low (IBL)
The script is built to be efficient, running its main calculation only once at the beginning of each new day. It also includes an automatic line management system to delete old lines, preventing the "Too many lines" error and keeping the chart clean.
How the Code Works
1. Data Collection: At the start of a new day (00:00), the script looks back at the chart's history. It uses request.security to access 30-minute bar data.
2. Collector Loop: It then loops backward, bar by bar, to find and store 48 unique 30-minute High/Low data points, which represents the full 24-hour range of the previous day.
3. TPO Profile: With this 30-minute data, it builds a TPO profile. It divides the previous day's price range into small bins (price levels) and counts how many 30-minute periods "touched" each price bin.
4. Level Calculation:
o POC: It finds the price bin with the highest TPO count (the most traded price) and sets it as the Point of Control.
o VAH/VAL: It starts at the POC and expands outward, adding the next-most-traded price bins until 70% (or the user-defined percentage) of the day's TPOs are included. The highest and lowest prices of this range are the Value Area High and Value Area Low.
o IBH/IBL: It identifies the high and low of the first hour (the first two 30-minute bars) of the previous day to set the Initial Balance High and Initial Balance Low.
5. Drawing: The script draws these five levels as horizontal lines across the current trading day, providing a constant reference.
6. Line Management: It keeps track of all lines in an array. When the total number of lines exceeds the user's limit (e.g., 50 days * 5 lines = 250), it automatically deletes the oldest lines from the chart.
Usefulness for Trading
This indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday traders by contextualizing the current day's price action against the previous day's "auction."
• Key Support/Resistance: The VAH, VAL, and POC act as significant support and resistance lev-els. Price reacting at these levels can signal mean reversion, while acceptance beyond them can signal a trend or expansion day.
• Value Area as Context: Trading inside the previous day's value area (between VAH and VAL) is often seen as "balanced" or "range-bound" trading. Trading outside of it is "unbalanced" or "trending."
• POC as a "Magnet": The POC, being the area of highest volume/time, often acts as a "magnet" or "center of gravity" for price.
• Opening Range: The Initial Balance (IB) levels show the opening range. A breakout from this range is often a key signal for the day's initial direction.
• 80% Rule: The script contains (currently commented-out) setup logic for the "80% Rule." This is a specific Market Profile strategy where:
1. The market opens inside the previous day's Value Area.
2. The Initial Balance fails to extend outside the VA (e.g., in a short setup, the IB high stays below the VAH).
3. This setup suggests an 80% probability that the price will rotate and test the other side of the Value Area (e.g., test the VAL).
Publication and restrictions
This script is published under the Mozilla Public Licence 2.0 (MPL 2.0) and is therefore suitable for publi-cation as an open source indicator on TradingView.
Timeframe limitation: The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes. Timeframes below 10 minutes do not work and lead to an error. Recommended time frame 30 minutes.
It will not work correctly on:
Time frame under 10 minutes: The data collection loop (max_bars_to_check = 3000) is not large enough to collect the bars required for a full day on a 5-minute chart or smaller.
High time frames (e.g. 1H, 4H, Daily): The script's logic is based on a chart timeframe 30-minute data that it requests. If higher time frames are selected, the script works but the zones are no longer correct or become irrelevant.

- Per-window controls : each Macro/Killzone has Enable, Session (HHMM-HHMM), Label, Fill color.
How to use (quick start)
- Set Timezone to your preference (default America/New_York).
- Toggle on the Macros and Killzones you trade. Adjust session times if needed.
- (Optional) Turn on Extend High/Low to project levels until crossed/day-roll.
- (Optional) Enable Next… headers to see the next upcoming window at a glance.
- (Optional) Configure Opening Prices (00:00 / 08:30 / 09:30 by default) and the session over which they appear.
Behavior & notes
- Time windows are computed by clock, not by guessing bar timestamps, making them robust across brokers and timeframes.
- With HL extension on, the current window’s levels extend until crossed or the end of the trading day (in your timezone). With it off, completed windows keep static HL markers (limited by “Sessions to show”).
- “Sessions to show” applies per Macro/Killzone to automatically prune older windows and keep charts snappy.
- Opening-price lines exist only within the chosen “Opening Prices Session” and are removed when it ends (keeps charts clean).
Defaults (color cues)
Killzones: Asia (blue), London (purple), NY AM (green), London Close (yellow), NY PM (orange).
Macros: neutral greys with Lunch and PM accents out of the box (all customizable).
Performance tips
- Reduce “Sessions to show” if you scroll far back in history.
- Disable “Next…” previews and/or extension labels on very slow machines.
- Narrow the “Opening Prices Session” window to exactly when you need those lines.
Changelog highlights
- v1.1.5 : Internal refinements and stability.

CMC Macro Regime PanelOverview (what it is):
A macro‑regime gate built entirely from TradingView-native symbols (CRYPTOCAP, FRED, DXY/VIX, HYG/LQD). It aggregates central‑bank liquidity (Fed balance sheet − RRP − Treasury General Account), USD strength, credit conditions, stablecoin flows/dominance, tech beta and BTC–NDX co‑move into one normalized score (CLRC). The panel outputs Risk‑ON/OFF regimes, an Early 3/5 pre‑signal, and an automatic BTC vs ETH vs ALTs preference. It is intentionally scoped to Daily & Weekly reads (no intraday timing). Publish with a clean chart and a clear description as per TradingView rules.
TradingView
Why we also use other TradingView screens (and why that is compliant)
This script pulls data via request.security() from official TV symbols only; users often want to open the raw series on separate charts to sanity‑check:
CRYPTOCAP indices: TOTAL, TOTAL2, TOTAL3 (market cap aggregates) and dominance tickers like BTC.D, USDT.D. Helpful for regime & rotation (ALTs vs BTC). TradingView provides definitions for crypto market cap and dominance symbols.

How it works (high level)
Liquidity block (Weekly/Monthly)
Net Liquidity = WALCL − RRPONTSYD − WTREGEN (YoY z‑score). WALCL is weekly (as of Wednesday) via H.4.1; RRP is daily; TGA is a Fed liability series. M2 YoY is monthly.

Crypto‑internal (Daily)
Stablecoins (USDT+USDC+DAI 30‑day log change), USDT dominance (20‑day, inverted), TOTAL3 (63‑day momentum). Dominance symbols on TV follow a documented formula.
TradingView
Beta & co‑move (Daily)
NDX 63‑day momentum, BTC↔NDX 90‑day correlation.
All components become z‑scores (optionally clipped), weighted, missing inputs drop and weights renormalize. We never use lookahead; we confirm on bar close to avoid repainting per Pine docs (barstate.isconfirmed, multi‑TF).

What you see on the chart
White line (CLRC) = macro regime score.
Background: Green = Risk‑ON, Red = Risk‑OFF, Teal = Early 3/5 (pre‑signal).
Table: shows each component’s z‑score and the Preference: BTC / ETH / ALTs / Mixed.
Signals & interpretation
Designed for Daily (1D) and Weekly (1W) only.
Regime gates (default Fast preset):
Enter ON: CLRC ≥ +0.8; Hold ON while ≥ +0.5.
Enter OFF: CLRC ≤ −1.0; Hold OFF while ≤ −0.5.
0 / ±1 reading: CLRC is a standardized composite.
~0 = neutral baseline (no macro edge).
≥ +1 = strong macro tailwind (≈ +1σ).
≤ −1 = strong headwind (≈ −1σ).
Early 3/5 (teal): a fast pre‑signal when at least 3 of 5 daily checks align: USDT.D↓, DXY↓, VIX↓, HYG/LQD↑, ETHBTC↑ or TOTAL3↑. It often precedes a full ON flip—use for pre‑positioning rather than full sizing.
BTC/ETH/ALTs selector (only when ON):
ALTs when BTC.D↓ and (ETHBTC↑ or TOTAL3↑) ⇒ rotate down the risk curve.
BTC when BTC.D↑ and ETHBTC↓ ⇒ keep it concentrated.
ETH when ETHBTC↑ while BTC.D flat/up ⇒ add ETH beta.
(Dominance mechanics are documented by TV.)
TradingView
Dissonance (incompatibility) rules — when to stand down
Use these overrides to avoid false comfort:
CLRC > +1 but USDT.D↑ and/or VIX spikes day‑over‑day → downgrade to Neutral; wait for USDT.D to stabilize and VIX to cool (VIX is a fear gauge of 30‑day expectation).
Cboe Global Markets
CLRC > +1 but DXY↑ sharply (USD squeeze) → size below normal; require DXY momentum to roll over.
CLRC < −1 but Early 3/5 = true two days in a row → start reducing underweights; look for ON flip within a few bars.
NetLiq improving (W) but credit (HYG/LQD) deteriorating (D) → treat as mixed regime; prefer BTC over ALTs.
How to use (step‑by‑step)
A. Read on Daily (1D) — main regime
Open CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3, 1D (panel applied).
Wait for bar close (use alerts on confirmed bar). Pine docs recommend barstate.isconfirmed to avoid repainting on realtime bars.
TradingView
If ON, check Preference (BTC / ETH / ALTs).
Then drop to 4H on your trading pair for micro entries (this indicator itself is not for intraday timing).
B. Confirm weekly macro (1W) — once per week)
Review WALCL/RRP/TGA after the H.4.1 release on Thursdays ~4:30 pm ET. WALCL is “Weekly, as of Wednesday”; M2 is Monthly—so do not expect daily responsiveness from these.
Federal Reserve

FRED

Recommended check times (practical schedule)
Daily regime read: right after your chart’s daily close (confirmed bar). For consistent timing across crypto, many users set chart timezone to UTC and read ~00:05 UTC; you can change chart timezone in TV’s settings.
TradingView
In‑day monitoring: optional spot checks 16:00 & 20:00 UTC (DXY/VIX move during US hours), but act only after the daily bar confirms.
Weekly macro pass: Thu 21:30–22:30 UTC (after H.4.1 4:30 pm ET) or Fri after daily close, to let weekly FRED series propagate.
Federal Reserve
Limitations & data latency (be explicit)
Higher‑TF data & confirmation: FRED weekly/monthly series will not reflect intraday risk in crypto; we aggregate them for regime, not for entry timing.
Repainting 101: Realtime bars move until close. This script does not use lookahead and follows Pine guidance on multi‑TF series; still, always act on confirmed bars.
TradingView
+1
Public‑library compliance: Title EN‑only; description starts in EN; clean chart; justify component mash‑up; no lookahead; no unrealistic claims.
TradingView
Alerts you can use
“Macro Risk‑ON (entry)” — fires on ON flip (confirmed bar).
“Macro Risk‑OFF (entry)” — fires on OFF flip.
“Early 3/5” — fires when the teal pre‑signal appears (not a regime flip).
“Preference change” — BTC/ETH/ALTs toggles while ON.
Publish note: Alerts are fine; just avoid implying guaranteed accuracy/performance.
TradingView
Background research (why these inputs matter)
Liquidity → Crypto: Fed H.4.1 timing and series definitions (WALCL, RRP, TGA) formalize the “net liquidity” concept used here.
FRED

Federal Reserve

FRED

Stablecoins ↔ Non‑stable crypto: empirical work shows bi‑directional causality between stablecoin market cap and non‑stable crypto cap; stablecoin growth co‑moves with broader crypto activity.
Global liquidity link: world liquidity positively relates to total crypto market cap; lagged effects are observed at monthly horizons.
VIX/Uncertainty effect: fear shocks impair BTC’s “safe haven” behavior; VIX is a meaningful risk‑off read.
ORB Pro w/ Filters + Debug Overlay Update with Reason box fixThis indicator is designed to highlight high-probability reversal setups for intraday traders.
It focuses on the cleanest, most reliable candlestick reversal patterns and combines them with trend, VWAP/EMA confluence, and a time-based filter to reduce noise.
🛠️ How It Works
The script scans each bar for well-known reversal signals:
Doji Reversal – small body, long wicks showing indecision.
Hammer / Shooting Star – long wick ≥ 2× body, showing exhaustion.
Engulfing Reversal – full body engulf of the prior candle.
Additional filters include:
✅ VWAP/EMA Confluence (optional) – confirms reversals near key intraday levels.
✅ Time Window (default 9:30–10:30 NY) – avoids false signals later in the session.
✅ Trend Exhaustion Check – requires a short-term directional push before reversal.
✅ Signal Cooldown – limits to one clean signal per move.
When conditions align, the script plots:
🟢 “Bull Rev” label below the bar for bullish reversals.
🔴 “Bear Rev” label above the bar for bearish reversals.
⚙️ Recommended Settings
For the tightest, most reliable signals:
Doji Body % → 25–30
Hammer Wick Multiple → 2.0
Confluence Tolerance % → 0.2–0.3
Time Filter → ON (9:30–10:30 NY)
VWAP/EMA Filter → ON
Cooldown Bars → 10–15
These settings minimize false positives and focus on the strongest reversals.
📈 Use Case
This tool is best for:
Intraday traders (stocks, ETFs, futures, crypto).
Traders who use Opening Range Breakout (ORB) or similar systems but want a secondary tool for catching reversals.
Anyone looking to filter out weak reversal patterns and focus on textbook setups.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This script is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Always test in simulation/paper trading before applying live
🚀 Catch textbook reversals with confidence.
This indicator filters out noise and only plots high-probability reversal signals based on proven candlestick patterns + VWAP/EMA confluence.
🔥 Key Features:

✅ VWAP & EMA confluence filter (optional)
✅ Time window filter (default 9:30–10:30 NY for max edge)
✅ Signal cooldown to avoid clutter
✅ Clean chart labels + alert conditions
🎯 Who’s It For?
Day traders who want precision reversal entries
ORB traders looking for secondary setups
Intraday scalpers who value quality over quantity
👉 Designed for traders who want fewer, cleaner, higher-probability signals.
⚠️ Not financial advice. For educational use only
_____
🎯 ORB SET-UP DESCRIPTIONS:
🔧 Exact settings I’d recommend (to avoid that mess):
requireClose = true
requireRetest = true with retestPct = 0.2%
minRangePct = 0.3%, maxRangePct = 1.5%
volumeFilter = true, volumeLength = 20
trendFilter = true, emaLength = 20
cooldownBars = 6 (on 5m chart → 30 minutes)
🔑 ORB Range Settings
Default sweet spot: 0.2% – 0.3%
→ This usually balances enough signals with reduced false breakouts.
High volatility days (CPI, FOMC, big gaps): 0.3% – 0.5%
→ Prevents fake outs.
Low volatility days (tight overnight range, slow open): 0.15% – 0.2%
→ Keeps you from sitting on hands all day.
📌 Filters you already added help you avoid noise
EMA alignment
Volume confirmation
Optional stop/target logic
This means you don’t have to shrink the box to 0.1% — the filters will keep you in higher-probability trades
✅ Why You Might NOT See a Signal
Check box for reason signal to turn it off, updated coloring so that candles are more visable.
ORB Box Too Wide
If the opening range is large, price has to move much further to trigger a clean breakout.
Wide box = fewer signals (but higher quality).
No Clean Break + Hold
Script waits for a candle to break above/below ORB and close strong enough.
A wick poke doesn’t count.
VWAP / EMA Filter Not Aligned
If price breaks but VWAP/EMA trend filter disagrees → no signal.
Keeps you out of fake moves against the trend.
Confirmation Candle Missing (if enabled)
Even if price breaks, the script may want the next bar to confirm direction before signaling.
Cooldown / One-Signal-Per-Break Rule
Some filters prevent back-to-back spam signals.
Only the first clean setup is alerted.
Fibs Has Lied 🌟 Fibs Has Lied - Indicator Overview 🌟
Designed for indices like US30, NQ, and SPX, this indicator highlights setups where price interacts with key EMA levels during specific trading sessions (default: 6:30–11:30 AM EST).
🌟 Key Features & Levels 🌟
🔹EMA Crossover Setups
The indicator uses the 100-period and 200-period EMAs to identify bullish and bearish setups:
- Bullish Setup: Triggers when the 100 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, followed by two consecutive candles opening above the 100 EMA, with the low within a specified point distance (e.g., 20 points for US30).
- Bearish Setup: Triggers when the 100 EMA crosses below the 200 EMA, followed by two consecutive candles opening below the 100 EMA, with the high within the point distance.
- Signals are marked with green (buy) or red (sell) triangles and text, ensuring you don’t miss a setup. 📈
🔹 Reset Conditions for Re-Entries
After an initial setup, the indicator watches for “reset” opportunities:
- Buy Reset: If price moves below the 200 EMA after a bullish crossover, then returns with two consecutive candles where lows are above the 100 EMA (within point distance), a new buy signal is plotted.
- Sell Reset: If price moves above the 200 EMA after a bearish crossover, then returns with two consecutive candles where highs are below the 100 EMA (within point distance), a new sell signal is plotted.
This feature captures additional entries after liquidity grabs or fakeouts, aligning with ICT’s manipulation concepts. 🔄
🔹 Session-Based Filtering
Focus your trades during high-liquidity windows! The default session (6:30–11:30 AM EST, New York timezone) targets the London/NY overlap, where price often seeks liquidity or sets up for reversals. Toggle the time filter off for 24/7 signals if desired. 🕒
🔹Symbol-Specific Point Distance
Customizable entry zones based on your chosen index:
- US30: 20 points from the 100 EMA.
- NQ: 3 points from the 100 EMA.
- SPX: 2.5 points from the 100 EMA.
This ensures setups are tailored to the volatility of your market, maximizing relevance. 🎯
🔹 Market Structure Markers (Optional)
Visualize swing points with pivot-based labels:
- HH (Higher High): Signals uptrend continuation.
- HL (Higher Low): Indicates potential bullish support.
- LH (Lower High): Suggests weakening uptrend or reversal.
- LL (Lower Low): Points to downtrend continuation.
- Toggle these on/off to keep your chart clean while analyzing trend direction. 📊
🔹 EMA Visualization
Optionally plot the 100 EMA (blue) and 200 EMA (red) to see key levels where price reacts. These act as dynamic support/resistance, perfect for spotting liquidity pools or ICT’s Power of 3 setups. ⚖️
🌟 Customization Options 🌟
- Symbol Selection: Choose US30, NQ, or SPX to adjust point distance for entries.
- Time Filter: Enable/disable the 6:30–11:30 AM EST session to focus on high-liquidity periods.
- EMA Display: Toggle 100/200 EMAs on/off to reduce chart clutter.
- Market Structure: Show/hide HH/HL/LH/LL labels for cleaner analysis.
- Signal Markers: Green (buy) and red (sell) triangles with text are auto-plotted for easy identification.
🌟 Usage Tips 🌟
- Best Timeframes: Use on 3m for intraday scalping and 30m for swing trades.
- Combine with ICT Tools: Pair with order blocks, fair value gaps, or kill zones for stronger setups.
- Focus on Session: The default 6:30–11:30 AM EST session captures London/NY volatility—perfect for liquidity-driven moves.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Disable market structure or EMAs if you only want setup signals.

True Hour Open🧠 Why Count an Hour from 30th Minute to 30th Minute?
✅ Traditional Hour vs. Functional Hour
Traditional Time Logic: We’re used to viewing time in clean hourly chunks: 12:00 to 1:00, 1:00 to 2:00, and so on. This structure is fine for general purposes like clocks, meetings, and schedules.
Market Logic: Markets, however, don’t always respect these arbitrary human-made time divisions. Price action often develops momentum, structure, and transitions based on market participants' behavior, not on the clock.
🛠 What the Indicator Does
Marks the start of each hour at the 30th minute past the hour (e.g., 1:30, 2:30, 3:30).
Can highlight or segment candles that fall within a “30-to-30” hourly window.
Optionally draws background shading, lines, or boxes to visually group candles from one 30-minute mark to the next.
This helps you:
Visually align your trading with more accurate price behavior windows.
Anchor time blocks around actual market rhythm, not artificial time slots.
Backtest and strategize based on how candles behave in these alternative hourly segments.
📈 Summary
Trading is about timing. But great trading is about timing that makes sense.
By redefining the hour from 30 to 30, you’re not changing time—you’re aligning with how price moves in time.

ICT Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG🔵 Introduction
Judas Swing is an advanced trading setup designed to identify false price movements early in the trading day. This advanced trading strategy operates on the principle that major market players, or "smart money," drive price in a certain direction during the early hours to mislead smaller traders.
This deceptive movement attracts liquidity at specific levels, allowing larger players to execute primary trades in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the price to return to its true path.
The Judas Swing setup functions within two primary time frames, tailored separately for Forex and Stock markets. In the Forex market, the setup uses the 8:15 to 8:30 AM window to identify the high and low points, followed by the 8:30 to 8:45 AM frame to execute the Judas move and identify the CISD Level break, where Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones are subsequently detected.
In the Stock market, these time frames shift to 9:15 to 9:30 AM for identifying highs and lows and 9:30 to 9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Concepts such as Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) are crucial in this setup. An Order Block represents a chart region with a high volume of buy or sell orders placed by major financial institutions, marking significant levels where price reacts.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to areas where price has moved rapidly without balance between supply and demand, highlighting zones of potential price action and future liquidity.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Judas Swing setup enables traders to pinpoint entry and exit points by utilizing Order Block and FVG concepts, helping them align with liquidity-driven moves orchestrated by smart money. This setup applies two distinct time frames for Forex and Stocks to capture early deceptive movements, offering traders optimized entry or exit moments.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish Judas Swing setup, the first step is to identify High and Low points within the initial time frame. These levels serve as key points where price may react, forming the basis for analyzing the setup and assisting traders in anticipating future market shifts.
In the second time frame, a critical stage of the bullish setup begins. During this phase, the price may create a false break or Fake Break below the low level, a deceptive move by major players to absorb liquidity. This false move often causes smaller traders to enter positions incorrectly. After this fake-out, the price reverses upward, breaking the CISD Level, a critical point in the market structure, signaling a potential bullish trend.
Upon breaking the CISD Level and reversing upward, the indicator identifies both the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Order Block is an area where major players typically place large buy orders, signaling potential price support. Meanwhile, the FVG marks a region of supply-demand imbalance, signaling areas where price might react.
Ultimately, after these key zones are identified, a trader may open a buy position if the price reaches one of these critical areas—Order Block or FVG—and reacts positively. Trading at these levels enhances the chance of success due to liquidity absorption and support from smart money, marking an opportune time for entering a long position.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish Judas Swing setup, analysis begins with marking the High and Low levels in the initial time frame. These levels serve as key zones where price could react, helping to signal possible trend reversals. Identifying these levels is essential for locating significant bearish zones and positioning traders to capitalize on downward movements.
In the second time frame, the primary bearish setup unfolds. During this stage, price may exhibit a Fake Break above the high, causing a brief move upward and misleading smaller traders into incorrect positions. After this false move, the price typically returns downward, breaking the CISD Level—a crucial bearish trend indicator.
With the CISD Level broken and a bearish trend confirmed, the indicator identifies the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Bearish Order Block is a region where smart money places significant sell orders, prompting a negative price reaction. The FVG denotes an area of supply-demand imbalance, signifying potential selling pressure.
When the price reaches one of these critical areas—the Bearish Order Block or FVG—and reacts downward, a trader may initiate a sell position. Entering trades at these levels, due to increased selling pressure and liquidity absorption, offers traders an advantage in profiting from price declines.
🔵 Settings
Market : The indicator allows users to choose between Forex and Stocks, automatically adjusting the time frames for the "Opening Range" and "Trading Permit" accordingly: Forex: 8:15–8:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 8:30–8:45 AM for capturing the Judas move and CISD Level break. Stocks: 9:15–9:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 9:30–9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing indicator helps traders spot reliable trading opportunities by detecting false price movements and key levels such as Order Block and FVG. With a focus on early market movements, this tool allows traders to align with major market participants, selecting entry and exit points with greater precision, thereby reducing trading risks.
Its extensive customization options enable adjustments for various market types and trading conditions, giving traders the flexibility to optimize their strategies. Based on ICT techniques and liquidity analysis, this indicator can be highly effective for those seeking precision in their entry points.
Overall, Judas Swing empowers traders to capitalize on significant market movements by leveraging price volatility. Offering precise and dependable signals, this tool presents an excellent opportunity for enhancing trading accuracy and improving performance
First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset### Indicator Overview: First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset
This indicator is designed for traders who want to track the high and low of the first 5-minute candle of a trading session, specifically starting at 9:30 am EST (New York time) by default. The lines representing these levels, known as the "Opening Range Breakout" (ORB) levels, are extended across the trading session until the market close at 4:00 pm EST. The indicator provides the following features:
1. **Real-Time Updates**:
- As the first 5-minute candle of the session forms (from 9:30 am to 9:35 am EST), the indicator dynamically updates the high and low lines.
- After the candle completes, the lines are locked in place and extend horizontally across the chart until market close.
2. **Customizable Hour Offset**:
- Users can adjust the start time of the session by specifying an hour offset. This feature is particularly useful for traders operating in different time zones or those who want to analyze custom session times.
- For example, if you trade in a time zone where the session starts at 8:30 am local time instead of 9:30 am EST, you can set the hour offset to `-1` to adjust the start time accordingly.
3. **Visual Labels**:
- The indicator places labels at the end of the lines, clearly marking the "5m ORB High" and "5m ORB Low" levels. These labels are updated in real-time as the first 5-minute candle forms and are fixed in place once the candle closes.
### How to Adjust the Settings:
1. **Hour Offset**:
- **Description**: The hour offset allows you to shift the start time of the session. The default start time is 9:30 am EST, but you can change this using the hour offset.
- **How to Adjust**:
- Open the indicator settings.
- Locate the "Hour Offset" field.
- Enter a positive or negative integer value to shift the session start time.
- **Example**:
- `0` (default): Start at 9:30 am EST.
- `-1`: Start at 8:30 am EST.
- `+1`: Start at 10:30 am EST.
- The indicator will then track the first 5-minute candle starting at the adjusted time and plot the high and low accordingly.
2. **Line and Label Appearance**:
- The lines representing the ORB levels are green by default, and the labels are also green with white text for clear visibility on the chart. The labels are positioned to the right of the lines to avoid cluttering the chart.
### Use Cases:
- **Opening Range Breakout Strategy**: Traders often use the ORB strategy to identify potential breakout points during the trading day. By marking the high and low of the first 5-minute candle, this indicator helps traders quickly identify key levels where price might break out or reverse.
- **Custom Session Analysis**: If you trade in a different time zone or need to analyze a different session (e.g., pre-market or after-hours), the hour offset feature allows you to adapt the indicator to your needs.
This indicator is particularly valuable for intraday traders who rely on the initial volatility of the trading session to make informed decisions.

Multi SMA EMA WMA HMA BB (5x8 MAs Bollinger Bands) MAX MTF - RRBMulti SMA EMA WMA HMA 4x7 Moving Averages with Bollinger Bands MAX MTF by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available MAX MTF versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: 4x7 = 28 MTF MAs + 28 Levels + 3 BB = 59 < 64
ver 2.0: 5x6 = 30 MTF MAs + 30 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 3.0: 3x10 = 30 MTF MAs + 30 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 4.0: 5(4+1)x8 = 8 CurTF MAs + 32 MTF MAs + 20 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 5.0: 6(5+1)x6 = 6 CurTF MAs + 30 MTF MAs + 24 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 6.0: 4(3+1)x10 = 10 CurTF MAs + 30 MTF MAs + 20 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
Fib numbers: 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377
This indicator shows multiple MAs of any type SMA EMA WMA HMA etc with BB and MTF support, can show MAs as dynamically moving levels.
There are 4 MA groups + 1 BB group, a total of 4 TFs * 7 MAs = 28 MAs. You can assign any type/timeframe combo to a group, for example:
- EMAs 9,12,26,50,100,200,400 x H1, H4, D1, W1 (4 TFs x 7 MAs x 1 type)
- EMAs 8,13,21,30,34,50,55,89,100,144,200,233,377,400 x M15, H1 (2 TFs x 14 MAs x 1 type)
- D1 EMAs and SMAs 8,13,21,30,34,50,55,89,100,144,200,233,377,400 (1 TF x 14 MAs x 2 types)
- H1 WMAs 13,21,34,55,89,144,233; H4 HMAs 9,12,26,50,100,200,400; D1 EMAs 12,26,89,144,169,233,377; W1 SMAs 9,12,26,50,100,200,400 (4 TFs x 7 MAs x 4 types)
- +1 extra MA type/timeframe for BB
There are several versions: Simple, MTF, Pro MTF, Advanced MTF, MAX MTF and Ultimate MTF. This is the MAX MTF version. The Differences are listed below. All versions have BB
- Simple: you have 2 groups of MAs that can be assigned any type (5+5)
- MTF: +2 custom Timeframes for each group (2x5 MTF) +1 TF for BB, TF XY smoothing
- Pro MTF: 4 custom Timeframes for each group (4x3 MTF), 1 TF for BB, MA levels and show max bars back options
- Advanced MTF: +4 extra MAs/group (4x7 MTF), custom Ticker/Symbols, Timeframe <>= filter, Remove Duplicates Option
- MAX MTF: +2 subtypes/group, packed to the limit with max possible MAs/TFs: 4x7, 5x6, 3x10, 4(3+1)x10, 5(4+1)x8, 6(5+1)x6
- Ultimate MTF: +individual settings for each MA, custom Ticker/Symbols
MAX MTF version tests the limits of Pinescript trying to squeeze as many MAs/TFs as possible into a single indicator.
It's basically a maxed out Advanced version with subtypes allowing for mixed types within a group (i.e. both emas and smas in a single group/TF)
Pinescript has the following limits:
- max 40 security calls (6 calls are reserved for dupe checks and smoothing, 2 are used for BB, so only 32 calls are available)
- max 64 plot outputs (BB uses 3 outputs, so only 61 plot outputs are available)
- max 50000 (50kb) size of the compiled code
Based on those limits, you can only have the following MAs/TFs combos in a single script:
1. 4x7, 5x6, 3x10 - total number of MTF MAs must always be <= 32, and you can still have BB and Num Levels = total MAs, without any compromises
2. 5(4+1)x8, 6(5+1)x6, 4(3+1)x10 - you can use the Current Symbol/Timeframe as an extra (+1) fixed TF with the same number of MTF MAs
- you don't need to call security to display MAs on the Current Symbol/Timeframe, so the total number of MTF MAs remains the same and is still <= 32
- to fit that many MAs into the max 64 plot outputs limit you need to reduce the number of levels (not every MA Group will have corresponding levels)
Features:
- 4x7 = 28 MAs of any type
- 4x MTF groups with XY step line smoothing
- +1 extra TF/type for BB MAs
- 2 MA subtypes within each group/TF
- 4x7 = 28 MA levels with adjustable group offsets, indents and shift
- supports any existing type of MA: SMA, EMA, WMA, Hull Moving Average (HMA)
- custom tickers/symbols for each group
- show max bars back option
- show/hide both groups of MAs/levels/BB and individual MAs
- timeframe filter: show only MAs/Levels with TFs <>= Current TF
- hide MAs/Levels with duplicate TFs
- support for custom TFs that are not available in free accounts: 2D, 3D etc
- support for timeframes in H: H, 2H, 4H etc
Notes:
- Uses timeframe textbox instead of input resolution dropdown to allow for 240 120 and other custom TFs
- Uses symbol textbox instead of input symbol to avoid establishing multiple dummy security connections to the current ticker - otherwise empty symbols will prevent script from running
- Possible reasons for missing MAs on a chart:
- there may not be enough bars in history to start plotting it. For example, W1 EMA200 needs at least 200 bars on a weekly chart.
- for charts with low/fractional prices i.e. 0.00002 << 0.001 (default Y smoothing step) decrease Y smoothing as needed (set Y = 0.0000001) or disable it completely (set X,Y to 0,0)
- for charts with high price values i.e. 20000 >> 0.001 increase Y smoothing as needed (set Y = 10-20). Higher values exceeding MAs point density will cause it to disappear as there will be no points to plot. Different TFs may require diff adjustments
- TradingView Replay Mode UI and Pinescript security calls are limited to TFs >= D (D,2D,W,MN...) for free accounts
- attempting to plot any TF < D1 in Replay Mode will only result in straight lines, but all TFs will work properly in history and real-time modes. This is not a bug.
- Max Bars Back (num_bars) is limited to 5000 for free accounts (10000 for paid), will show error when exceeded. To plot on all available history set to 0 (default)
- Slow load/redraw times. This indicator becomes slower, its UI less responsive when:
- Pinescript Node.js graphics library is too slow and inefficient at plotting bars/objects in a browser window. Code optimization doesn't help much - the graphics engine is the main reason for general slowness.
- the chart has a long history (10000+ bars) in a browser's cache (you have scrolled back a couple of screens in a max zoom mode).
- Reload the page/Load a fresh chart and then apply the indicator or
- Switch to another Timeframe (old TF history will still remain in cache and that TF will be slow)
- in max possible zoom mode around 4500 bars can fit on 1 screen - this also slows down responsiveness. Reset Zoom level
- initial load and redraw times after a param change in UI also depend on TF. For example: D1/W1 - 2 sec, H1/H4 - 5-6 sec, M30 - 10 sec, M15/M5 - 4 sec, M1 - 5 sec. M30 usually has the longest history (up to 16000 bars) and W1 - the shortest (1000 bars).
- when indicator uses more MAs (plots) and timeframes it will redraw slower. Seems that up to 5 Timeframes is acceptable, but 6+ Timeframes can become very slow.
- show_last=last_bars plot limit doesn't affect load/redraw times, so it was removed from MA plot
- Max Bars Back (num_bars) default/custom set UI value doesn't seem to affect load/redraw times
- In max zoom mode all dynamic levels disappear (they behave like text)
- Dupe check includes symbol: symbol, tf, both subtypes - all must match for a duplicate group
- For the dupe check to work correctly a custom symbol must always include an exchange prefix. BB is not checked for dupes
Good Luck! Feel free to learn from/reuse the code to build your own indicators.

X Pax ORThis indicator captures and visualizes the first 30 seconds of price action starting at 9:30 AM New York time and projects its influence throughout the trading day. Inspired by Pax's open range and level analysis, it provides a structured framework for observing how markets interact with an initial volatility burst.
Core Features
Opening 30s Range Box
At the 9:30:00–9:30:30 window, the indicator records the high and low of that short-lived but impactful moment. A translucent blue box is drawn from this range and extends to 4:00 PM, clearly defining the market’s first key battleground.
User-Defined Extension Levels
From the Opening Range High, upward extensions are projected in user-defined step sizes and counts.
From the Opening Range Low, downward extensions are projected using the same configurable step settings.
These levels adapt to your market and trading style, serving as volatility-based expansion markers to track order flow clustering and potential turning points.
Historical Preservation
Each day’s range box and extension lines are stored, allowing you to review prior sessions for pattern recognition.
Independent toggles let you display or hide historical boxes and historical extensions, keeping the chart clean when needed while retaining analytical depth when desired.
Real-Time Updates
Unlike delayed higher-timeframe methods, this indicator anchors directly to intraday action as it unfolds, ensuring levels are available in real time rather than only after candle closure.
Practical Use
Spot early breakouts or failed retests of the Opening 30s range.
Use extension levels as reference points for intraday trend continuation or reversal setups.
Compare current session levels vs. prior sessions to identify recurring order flow behavior.
Design Notes
Step size, extension count, color transparency, and historical storage are fully configurable.
Clean, minimalist presentation keeps focus on price interaction with levels rather than clutter.
Built for traders who value precision and structure in intraday analysis.
RSI Zones Background + Optional RSI PaneOverview
This Pine Script indicator does two things at once:
Colors the background of the main price chart whenever the RSI value is below a lower threshold (default 30) or above an upper threshold (default 70). This highlights oversold and overbought zones directly on the price chart itself.
Optionally displays a separate RSI panel with the RSI line and shaded region between the two threshold levels for reference.
The indicator is fully customizable through the settings panel—color choices, transparency, and whether to show the separate RSI pane can all be adjusted.
Key Parts of the Code
1. Inputs
src: The source price series for RSI calculation.
len: RSI lookback length (default 14).
lowerThr and upperThr: The lower and upper thresholds (defaults: 30 and 70).
lowColor and highColor: Colors for the background when RSI is below or above the thresholds.
bgTrans: Transparency level for the background shading.
showRSI: Boolean to toggle the optional RSI pane on or off.
2. RSI Calculation
rsi = ta.rsi(src, len)
This computes the RSI from the chosen price source.
3. Background Coloring on the Price Chart
bgCol = rsi <= lowerThr ? color.new(lowColor,bgTrans) :
rsi >= upperThr ? color.new(highColor,bgTrans) :
na
bgcolor(bgCol)
If RSI ≤ lower threshold: background turns lowColor (oversold zone).
If RSI ≥ upper threshold: background turns highColor (overbought zone).
Otherwise, no background color.
4. Optional RSI Pane
plot(showRSI ? rsi : na, display=display.pane)
Plots the RSI line in a separate pane when showRSI is true; otherwise hides it.
5. Horizontal Lines for Thresholds
hLower = hline(lowerThr, ...)
hUpper = hline(upperThr, ...)
Two horizontal lines at the lower and upper thresholds.
Because hline() can’t be wrapped inside if blocks, the script always creates them but makes them transparent (using na color) when the pane is hidden.
6. Filling Between Threshold Lines
fill(hLower, hUpper, color=showRSI ? color.new(color.gray,95) : na)
When the RSI pane is visible, the area between the two threshold lines is shaded in gray to create a “mid-zone” effect. This fill also switches off (becomes na) if the pane is hidden.
7. Alerts
The script also includes two alert conditions:
When RSI crosses below the lower threshold.
When RSI crosses above the upper threshold.
How It Works in Practice
On the price chart, you’ll see the background turn blue (or your chosen color) when RSI is ≤30, and red when RSI is ≥70.
If you enable “Show RSI” in the settings, a separate RSI pane will appear below the price chart, plotting the RSI line with two threshold lines and a shaded region in between.
You can fully adjust transparency and colors to suit your chart style.
Benefits
Quickly visualize overbought and oversold conditions without opening a separate RSI window.
Optional RSI pane provides context when needed.
Customizable colors and transparency make it easy to integrate with any chart theme.
Alerts give you automatic notifications when RSI crosses key levels.

개요
이 지표는 두 가지 기능을 동시에 수행합니다.
가격 차트 뒤 배경에 색상 표시
RSI 값이 설정한 하단 임계값(기본 30) 이하이거나 상단 임계값(기본 70) 이상일 때, 가격 차트 뒤쪽에 과매도·과매수 구간을 색으로 표시해줍니다.
선택적으로 RSI 보조창 표시
옵션을 켜면 별도의 RSI 패널이 나타나서 RSI 라인과 두 임계값(30, 70)을 연결한 구간을 음영 처리하여 보여줍니다.
설정 창에서 색상·투명도·보조창 표시 여부를 전부 조정할 수 있습니다.
코드 핵심 설명
1. 입력값
src: RSI 계산에 사용할 가격 소스(기본 종가).
len: RSI 기간(기본 14).
lowerThr / upperThr: RSI 하단·상단 임계값(기본 30, 70).
lowColor / highColor: RSI가 각각 하단 이하·상단 이상일 때 배경 색상.
bgTrans: 배경 투명도(0=불투명, 100=투명).
showRSI: RSI 보조창을 켜고 끌 수 있는 스위치.
2. RSI 계산
rsi = ta.rsi(src, len)
지정한 가격 소스를 기반으로 RSI를 계산합니다.
3. 가격 차트 배경 색칠
bgCol = rsi <= lowerThr ? color.new(lowColor,bgTrans) :
rsi >= upperThr ? color.new(highColor,bgTrans) :
na
bgcolor(bgCol)
RSI ≤ 하단 임계값 → lowColor(과매도 색)
RSI ≥ 상단 임계값 → highColor(과매수 색)
나머지 구간은 색상 없음.
4. 선택적 RSI 보조창
plot(showRSI ? rsi : na, display=display.pane)
showRSI가 켜져 있으면 RSI 라인을 보조창에 표시하고, 꺼져 있으면 숨깁니다.
5. 임계값 가로선
hLower = hline(lowerThr, ...)
hUpper = hline(upperThr, ...)
하단·상단 임계값을 가로선으로 표시합니다.
hline은 if 블록 안에서 쓸 수 없기 때문에 항상 그려지지만, 보조창이 꺼지면 색을 na로 처리해 안 보이게 합니다.
6. 임계값 사이 영역 음영 처리
fill(hLower, hUpper, color=showRSI ? color.new(color.gray,95) : na)
보조창이 켜져 있을 때만 두 가로선 사이를 회색으로 채워 “중립 구간”을 강조합니다.
7. 알림 조건
RSI가 하단 임계값을 아래로 돌파할 때 알림.
RSI가 상단 임계값을 위로 돌파할 때 알림.
실제 작동 모습
가격 차트 뒤쪽에 RSI ≤30이면 파란색, RSI ≥70이면 빨간색 배경이 나타납니다(색상은 설정에서 변경 가능).
RSI 보조창을 켜면, RSI 라인과 임계값 가로선, 그리고 그 사이 음영 영역이 함께 나타납니다.
투명도를 높이거나 낮추어 강조 정도를 조절할 수 있습니다.
장점
별도의 RSI창을 열지 않고도 가격 차트 배경만으로 과매수·과매도 상태를 직관적으로 확인 가능.
필요하면 보조창으로 RSI를 직접 확인하면서 임계값 가이드와 음영 영역을 함께 볼 수 있음.
색상·투명도를 자유롭게 조절할 수 있어 차트 스타일에 맞게 커스터마이징 가능.
RSI가 임계값을 돌파할 때 자동 알림을 받을 수 있음.
CandelaCharts - 1st Presented FVG 📝 Overview
The ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap refers to the first FVG that forms after the market opens at 9:30 AM New York local time. In a sideways market, it often acts as a catalyst for price movement in either direction, while in trending conditions, it tends to support and reinforce the prevailing trend.
This indicator automatically identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms after the New York session opens at 9:30 AM local time. Based on concepts taught by Inner Circle Trader (ICT), the 1st Presented FVG is a key institutional price imbalance that often sets the tone for the trading day.
📦 Features
Customize FVG session time (e.g. 09:30 – 10:00)
Show/hide session dividers
FVG visibility filter (e.g. Bullish / Bearish)
Advanced styling
Hide overlapping FVGs
Extend FVGs
Opening prices
⚙️ Settings
Show: Controls whether all, bullish only, or bearish only FVGs are displayed on the chart.
Session: Sets a specific time window (e.g. 09:30–10:00) to filter which FVGs are displayed.
Dividers: Toggles vertical session divider on the chart for visual separation.
Midline: Displays a midpoint (CE) line through the FVG; customizable color and thickness.
Border: Adds a border around each FVG zone.
Labels: Toggles label display for FVGs.
Hide Overlap: Hides overlapping FVGs to reduce visual clutter.
Extend: Extends each FVG forward in time.
Alerts: Enables alerts when price interacts with an FVG zone.
Opening Prices: Allows defining custom time-based levels (e.g. 00:00–00:01 and 18:00–18:01) with color and style options.

📒 Usage
How to Use the ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap in Trading
To apply the ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap (FVG), identify the first fair value gap of the day and extend it across the chart until 3:45 PM New York time.
You’ll often notice that some of the best trade setups form around this level. It tends to act as a key reference point for price action during the day—especially on trending days, where price frequently returns to this gap before continuing in its direction.
This level can also serve as an inverse fair value gap, offering opportunities in the opposite direction under the right conditions.
How to Disqualify the 1st Presented Fair Value Gap?
When the first fair value gap forms after 9:30 AM New York time, check the candles that came just before it.
If the candlestick that creates the FVG doesn’t break above or below the range of those previous candles, then it’s not a true inefficiency. In that case, it’s considered a disqualified 1st Presented Fair Value Gap—meaning it shouldn’t be used as a key reference level.
Refer to the example below to see what this looks like on the chart.
🚨 Alerts
This script provides alert options for all signals.
Bearish Signal
A bearish signal is triggered when the bearish 1st P.FVG is formed in interval 09:30 - 10:00.
Bullish Signal
