TrendlinesDowntrend lines are one of the most important tools in technical analysis. A downtrend line is created by connecting a series of lower highs which forms a clear visual line where price repeatedly finds resistance. Traders use these lines to understand trend direction, time entries, plan exits, and quickly recognize when momentum is shifting.
This indicator automatically finds and maintains the strongest downtrend lines on any timeframe. It removes the guesswork and inconsistency that comes with manually drawing trendlines.
Unlike most other trendline indicators that just draw lines from swing highs to the current high, this indicator actively scans for new pivot highs, tests each potential line against live price action and only promotes a line to valid status once it has proven itself as a true trendline by price touching or respecting the line a user defined number of times, with the default set to three. This filters out noise and leaves only the most meaningful and reliable trendlines on your chart.
When price eventually breaks a respected downtrend line the indicator highlights the breakout immediately. Traders often use these moments for entries confirmation signals or to prepare for a potential shift in market behavior. The breakout alert is built directly into the indicator so you never miss an important move.
This indicator also works with the Pine Screener to find tickers with current valid trendlines.
How are trendlines determined?
The indicator begins by anchoring to the most recent pivot high. From there it draws a temporary line to the current bar and evaluates every bar between the two points.
Each time a high comes within a user selected buffer zone around that line it is counted as a touch. Once the required number of touches is confirmed and price has never exceeded the buffer to the upside the trendline becomes valid and is displayed on the chart as an active downtrend line.

VWAP-Anchored MACD [BOSWaves]VWAP-Anchored MACD - Volume-Weighted Momentum Mapping With Zero-Line Filtering
Overview
The VWAP-Anchored MACD delivers a refined momentum model built on volume-weighted price rather than raw closes, giving you a more grounded view of trend strength during sessions, weeks, or months.
Instead of tracking two EMAs of price like a standard MACD, this tool reconstructs the MACD engine using anchored VWAP as the core input. The result is a momentum structure that reacts to real liquidity flow, filters out weak crossovers near the zero line, and visualizes acceleration shifts with clear, high-contrast gradients.
This indicator acts as a precise momentum map that adapts in real time. You see how weighted price is accelerating, where valid crossovers form, and when trend conviction is strong enough to justify execution.
It uses gradient line coloring to show bullish or bearish momentum, histogram shading to highlight energy shifts, cross dots to mark valid crossovers, optional buy/sell diamonds for execution cues, and candle coloring to display trend strength at a glance.
Theoretical Foundation
Traditional MACD compares the difference between two exponential moving averages of price.
This variant replaces price with anchored VWAP, making the calculation sensitive to actual traded volume across your chosen period (Session, Week, or Month).
Three principles drive the logic:
Anchored VWAP Momentum : Price is weighted by volume and aggregated across the selected anchor. The fast and slow VWAP-EMAs then expose how liquidity-corrected momentum is expanding or contracting.
Zero-Line Distance Filtering : Crossover signals that occur too close to the zero line are removed. This eliminates the common MACD problem of generating weak, directionless signals in choppy phases.
Directional Visualization : MACD line, signal line, histogram, candle colors, and optional diamond markers all react to shifts in VWAP-momentum, giving you a clean structural read on market pressure.
Anchoring VWAP to session, weekly, or monthly resets creates a systematic framework for tracking how capital flow is driving momentum throughout each trading cycle.
How It Works
The core engine processes momentum through several mapped layers:
VWAP Aggregation : Price × volume is accumulated until the anchor resets. This creates a continuous, liquidity-corrected VWAP curve.
MACD Construction : Fast and slow VWAP-EMAs define the MACD line, while a smoothed signal line identifies edges where momentum shifts.
Zero-Line Distance Filter : MACD and signal must both exceed a threshold distance from zero for a crossover to count as valid. This prevents fake crossovers during compression.
Visual Momentum Layers : It uses gradient line coloring to show bullish or bearish momentum, histogram shading to highlight energy shifts, cross dots to mark valid crossovers, optional buy/sell diamonds for execution cues, and candle coloring to display trend strength at a glance.
This layered structure ensures you always know whether momentum is strengthening, fading, or transitioning.
Interpretation
You get a clean, structural understanding of VWAP-based momentum:
Bullish Phases : MACD > Signal, histogram expands, candles turn bullish, and crossovers occur above the threshold.
Bearish Phases : MACD < Signal, histogram drives lower, candles shift bearish, and downward crossovers trigger below the threshold.
Neutral/Compression : Both lines remain near the zero boundary, histogram flattens, and signals are suppressed to avoid noise.
This creates a more disciplined version of MACD momentum reading - less noise, more conviction, and better alignment with liquidity.
Strategy Integration
Trend Continuation : Use VWAP-MACD crossovers that occur far from the zero line as higher-conviction entries.
Zero-Line Rejection : Watch for histogram contractions near zero to anticipate flattening momentum and potential reversal setups.
Session/Week/Month Anchors : Session anchor works best for intraday flows. Weekly or monthly anchor structures create cleaner macro momentum reads for swing trading.
Signal-Only Execution : Optional buy/sell diamonds give you direct points to trigger trades without overanalyzing the chart.
This indicator slots cleanly into any momentum-following system and offers higher signal quality than classic MACD variants due to the volume-weighted core.
Technical Implementation Details
VWAP Reset Logic : Session (D), Week (W), or Month (M)
Dynamic Fast/Slow VWAP EMAs : Fully configurable lengths, smoothing and anchor settings
MACD/Signal Line Framework : Traditional structure with volume-anchored input
Zero-Line Filtering : Adjustable threshold for structural confirmation
Dual Visualization Layers : MACD body + histogram + crosses + candle coloring
Optimized Performance : Lightweight, fast rendering across all timeframes
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframes:

Suggested Configuration:
Fast Length : 12
Slow Length : 26
Signal Length : 9
Zero Threshold : 200 - 500 depending on asset range
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset volatility, liquidity, and preferred entry frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Assets with strong intraday or session-based volume cycles
Markets where volume-weighted momentum leads price swings
Trend environments with strong acceleration
Reduced Effectiveness:
Ultra-choppy markets hugging the VWAP axis
Sessions with abnormally low volume
Ranges where MACD naturally compresses
Disclaimer
The VWAP-Anchored MACD is a structural momentum tool designed to enhance directional clarity - not a guaranteed predictor. Performance depends on market regime, volatility, and disciplined execution. Use it alongside broader trend, volume, and structural analysis for optimal results.
Intermarket Swing Projection [LuxAlgo]The Intermarket Swing Projection allows traders to plot price movement swings from any user-selected asset directly onto the chart in the form of zigzags and/or horizontal support and resistance levels.
This tool rescale the external asset price on the user chart, enabling traders to make direct comparisons.
It answers the question of how different the price behavior is between two assets, accounting for each asset's volatility.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on swing detection of two different assets: the chart and a user-selected asset. It allows traders to compare two assets on an equal footing while accounting for volatility and price behavior.
Traders can customize the detection by selecting a custom ticker, timeframe, the number of swings and length for swing detection. This makes the tool a Swiss army knife for asset comparison.
As we can see in the image below, the Show Last, Pivot Length, and Spread parameters are key to defining the final output of the tool.
"Show Last" defines how many pivots are displayed. "Pivot Length" is used for pivot detection; a larger value will detect larger market structures. "Spread" defines how far apart the horizontal levels will be from their original location in terms of volatility.
🔹 Comparing different assets
This image shows the Nasdaq 100 futures contract compared to four other futures contracts: S&P 500, gold, bitcoin, and euro/U.S. dollar.
Plotting all of these assets in Nasdaq 100 terms makes it easy to compare and analyze price behaviors and identify key levels.
In the top left chart, we have NQ vs. ES. It's no surprise that they are practically an exact match; a large portion of the S&P 500 is technology.
In the top right chart, NQ vs. GC, we see totally different behaviors. We can clearly see the summer consolidation in gold and the resumption of the uptrend, which took gold above 29,200 NQ points, up from 21,200.
In the bottom right chart, we see bitcoin making new highs, way above the Nasdaq in May, July, and October. However, the last high was way below the Nasdaq prices on October 27—the first lower high in a while. Sellers are pushing down.
Finally, the bottom left chart is NQ vs. 6E. We can see large volatility in the uptrend since February, with NQ unable to catch up until now. The last swing low was almost a match, and 6E is in a range.
As we can see, this tool allows us to perform intermarket analysis properly by accounting for each asset's volatility and price behavior. Then, we plot them on the same scale on equal terms, which makes performing this kind of analysis easy.
As we can see in the chart above, the assets are the same as in the previous image, but the timeframe is 1H with different settings.
Note the horizontal levels acting as support and resistance, as well as how NQ prices react to the zones marked with white circles. These levels are derived from custom assets selected by the user.
🔹 Displaying Elements
Zig-zag allows traders to clearly see the path that the selected asset's price took, as well as its turning points.
Horizontal levels are displayed from those turning points to the present and can be used as support or resistance. Traders can adjust the spread parameter in the settings panel to expand or contract those levels' volatility.
There are two color modes for the levels: average and pivots. In the first mode, green is used for levels below the average and red for levels above the average. The second uses green for swing lows and red for swing highs.
The backpaint feature is enabled by default and allows the swings to be displayed in the correct location. With this feature disabled, the swings will be displayed in the current location when a new swing is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
On a more technical note, the rescaling is formed by calculating three main elements from all the swings detected on the custom and chart assets:
The chart asset's average of all swing points
The chart asset's standard deviation of all swing points
The custom asset's z-score for each swing point
Then, the re-scaled swing point is calculated as the average plus the z-score multiplied by the standard deviation. This makes it possible to plot AAPL swings on an NQ chart, for example.
Thanks to re-scaling, we can directly compare the price behavior of two assets with different price ranges and volatility on the same chart.

[SM-021-v1.1] Gaussian Channel Strategy - Long & ShortThis is a trend-following breakout strategy that combines a sophisticated Moving Average (the Gaussian Channel) with a momentum oscillator (Stochastic RSI).
It aims to catch strong trend moves when the price breaks outside of the volatility bands, using the Stochastic RSI to confirm sufficient momentum exists.
Here is a detailed breakdown of how the strategy works:
1. Primary Indicator: The Gaussian Channel
The core of this strategy is a custom indicator originally developed by DonovanWall. It is designed to reduce the "lag" (delay) typically found in standard moving averages while remaining very smooth.
The Filter (Middle Line): It calculates a "Pole" based Gaussian filter. If the line is sloping up, it paints green (bullish); if sloping down, it paints red (bearish).
The Bands (Volatility): It calculates a True Range (volatility) multiplier to create an Upper Band (hband) and a Lower Band (lband).
Lag Reduction: The script includes logic to artificially reduce lag or increase response speed (modeLag and modeFast inputs).
2. Secondary Indicator: Stochastic RSI
The strategy uses standard Stochastic RSI settings (14, 100, 3, 3 inputs) to measure momentum.
K Line: The primary line used for decision-making in this script.
3. Strategy Logic
Long Trade Setup (Buying)
The strategy enters a Long position when ALL of the following conditions are met:
Trend is Bullish: The Gaussian Filter is sloping upwards (Green).
Breakout: The Closing Price is above the Gaussian Upper Band (hband).
Momentum Validation: The Stoch RSI k line is at an extreme reading (either > 80 or < 20). This implies the script looks for high volatility/momentum, regardless of whether it is traditionally "overbought" or "oversold."
Date & Toggle: The current date is within the backtesting range, and "Enable Long Trading" is turned on.
Long Exit (Selling)
The strategy closes the Long position when the Price crosses under the Gaussian Upper Band.
Interpretation: It rides the breakout wave, but as soon as price weakens and falls back inside the volatility channel, the trade is closed.
Short Trade Setup (Selling)
The strategy enters a Short position when ALL of the following conditions are met:
Trend is Bearish: The Gaussian Filter is sloping downwards (Red).
Breakout: The Closing Price is below the Gaussian Lower Band (lband).
Momentum Validation: The Stoch RSI k line is at an extreme reading (either > 80 or < 20).
Date & Toggle: The current date is within the backtesting range, and "Enable Short Trading" is turned on.
Short Exit (Covering)
The strategy closes the Short position when the Price crosses over the Gaussian Lower Band.
4. Visuals & Settings
Chart Overlay: The bands and the middle line are plotted on the chart.
Bar Colors: The candlesticks change color based on their position relative to the bands and the previous candle (e.g., bright green for strong bullish breakouts, bright red for strong bearish breakouts).
Backtesting Inputs:
Capital: Starts with $1,000.
Position Size: Uses 100% of equity per trade.
Date Range: Filters trades between 2018 and 2069.
Summary
This is a momentum breakout strategy . It does not try to buy the bottom or sell the top. Instead, it waits for the trend to establish itself (Gaussian slope) and for the price to explode outside of normal volatility ranges (Bands). It uses the Stoch RSI to ensure the move has enough "juice" behind it, and it exits quickly if the price retreats back into the normal range.

Fibonacci Volume Profile [Auto-Anchored & Dynamic]The Concept: Structure Meets Participation Traders often treat Market Structure (Fibonacci Retracements) and Market Participation (Volume) as separate tools. This indicator merges them into a single, cohesive system.
Standard Volume Profiles are often static or require manual placement. Standard Fibonacci tools show where price might reverse, but not how much effort was spent there. This script solves that by automatically anchoring a high-definition Volume Profile to your most recent market swing, giving you a dynamic view of volume distribution relative to Fibonacci structural zones.
How It Works This is not a simple "tick" volume profile. It is a custom-built, array-based engine that:
Identifies the Swing: Automatically scans the last X bars (user-defined) to find the absolute Swing High and Swing Low.
Anchors the Profile: Draws the Volume Profile precisely covering the time duration of that swing.
Calculates Distribution: Using a "Smart Fill" algorithm, it distributes volume across price rows without gaps, ensuring a solid, institutional-grade look even on steep trends.
Dynamic Scaling: The width of the profile is responsive. It occupies a percentage of the swing's duration, meaning it scales perfectly whether you are zooming in, zooming out, or dragging chart margins.
Key Features
Auto-Anchored: No need to manually draw "Fixed Range" tools. The script adapts as new highs/lows are made.
Smart Fill Technology: Eliminates the "barcode" effect seen in basic scripts. Price rows are filled continuously for a solid distribution curve.
Split Volume Analysis: Bars are dual-colored (Teal/Red by default) to visualize Buy (Up Candle) vs. Sell (Down Candle) volume composition at every price level.
Point of Control (POC): Automatically highlights the price level with the highest volume (The "King" line) in Red.
Responsive Geometry: The profile width is defined as a percentage of the swing itself. It breathes with the chart.
Garbage Collection: Optimized for performance. Old drawings are cleared instantly when the chart moves, preventing "ghost" drawings or lag.
Settings Guide
Lookback Length: How far back the script scans for the High/Low (Default: 200). Increase this for higher timeframes or longer trends.
Resolution: The number of rows in the profile. (Default: 100). Higher = smoother definition.
Width (% of Swing): Controls how wide the profile is relative to the trend duration. (Default: 40%).
Colors: Fully customizable Buy, Sell, and POC colors to match your dark/light theme.

Reversal Reactor - Multi-Pattern Candle Reversal ScannerReversal Reactor - Multi-Pattern Candle Reversal Scanner
⚪ Overview
Reversal Reactor is a comprehensive candle-pattern and volume-pressure detection engine designed to highlight possible reversal environments.
It identifies abnormal volume surges, major single-candle reversal structures, and multi-candle formations such as Morning/Evening Stars — all refined through adjustable shadow-to-body ratios and adaptive lookback logic.
⚪ Core Features
Big-Volume Candle Detection : green or red full body.
Flags candles with unusually high volume relative to a volume EMA. These moments often reflect climactic pushes, absorption, forced liquidations, or rapid sentiment flips.
Reversal Candle Pattern Suite
A unified engine that detects major reversal structures with individual on/off control:
• Engulfing — Strong directional assertion via body-wide engulfing of prior candle.
• Morning Star — Three-stage bullish reversal following sustained selling.
• Evening Star — Bearish transition structure after an extended advance.
• Hammer — Long lower or upper wick showing strong rejection from one side of the market..
• Shooting Star — Long upper wick showing aggressive upside rejection.
• Hanging Man — Bearish exhaustion signal forming near range highs.
• Doji — Neutral indecision candle marking potential transition zones.
Shadow-to-Body Ratio Control
Fine-tunes wick-dominant pattern detection (hammer/star types) by requiring the shadow to exceed the body by a customizable multiplier, reducing low-quality signals.
Adaptive Lookback Logic
Allows users to adjust historical evaluation depth, improving sensitivity across different volatility regimes and asset behaviors. Default setting is recommended.
⚪ How Traders Use It
• Spot exhaustion near key support/resistance.
• Validate reversal attempts with volume confirmation.
• Filter for clean candle structures before entering momentum shifts.

Liquidity Heatmap [Eˣ]💧 Liquidity Heatmap - Free Indicator
Overview
The Liquidity Heatmap reveals where stop losses are clustered in the market - the hidden liquidity zones that smart money targets. This indicator automatically identifies Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) above price and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) below price, showing you exactly where institutional traders are likely to hunt for stops before major moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Identifies Liquidity Zones:
• Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) - Stop losses from SHORT positions clustered above price
• Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) - Stop losses from LONG positions clustered below price
• Automatically clusters nearby levels into high-probability zones
• Shows liquidity strength (1-5+) - higher numbers = more stops = bigger target
• Removes swept liquidity in real-time as price takes out stops
Visual Display:
• 🔴 Red Zones Above Price = Buy-Side Liquidity (shorts' stops)
• 🟢 Green Zones Below Price = Sell-Side Liquidity (longs' stops)
• Thicker/Darker Zones = Higher liquidity concentration
• BSL/SSL Labels = Show exact strength count
• Triangle Markers = Liquidity sweep alerts (when price takes stops)
Smart Features:
• Auto-removes old liquidity (customizable lookback period)
• Clusters nearby levels to reduce noise
• Tracks liquidity strength and age
• Updates in real-time as new swing points form
• Alerts when major liquidity zones are swept
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How To Use This Indicator
Understanding Liquidity Concepts
What is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to clusters of stop loss orders sitting in the market. These stops represent:
• Long traders' stop losses (below support) = Sell-Side Liquidity
• Short traders' stop losses (above resistance) = Buy-Side Liquidity
Why Does This Matter?
• Institutions NEED liquidity to fill large orders
• Price often "sweeps" liquidity zones before reversing
• Major liquidity = major target for smart money
• Understanding liquidity = understanding market maker behavior
The Liquidity Cycle:
1. Retail traders place stops at obvious levels (swing highs/lows)
2. Smart money identifies these clusters
3. Price is pushed to sweep the stops (liquidity grab)
4. Institutions fill their orders with this liquidity
5. Price reverses in the opposite direction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Sweep Reversals
Best For: Swing trading, catching reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Identify strong Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone below price
2. Wait for price to sweep down into the SSL zone
3. Look for rejection/reversal candle pattern (pin bar, engulfing)
4. Enter LONG after sweep and reversal confirmation
5. Stop loss: Below the swept liquidity zone
6. Target: Opposite liquidity zone or key resistance
Why It Works: Smart money sweeps stops to fill buy orders, then pushes price higher
Example:
• SSL zone at $45,000 with strength 3
• Price drops to $44,950, sweeps the SSL
• Strong bullish reversal candle forms
• Enter long at $45,100
• Target: BSL zone at $47,000
Strategy 2: Liquidity-to-Liquidity Runs
Best For: Day trading, scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Entry Setup:
1. Price sweeps Sell-Side Liquidity below and reverses up
2. Identify Buy-Side Liquidity zone above
3. Enter LONG targeting the BSL zone above
4. Exit near/at the BSL zone (don't wait for sweep)
5. Stop loss: Below recent swing low
Why It Works: Price moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool
Variation - Reverse for Shorts:
• BSL sweep above → Look for SSL zone below
• Enter short targeting lower liquidity
Strategy 3: Liquidity Avoidance (Stop Placement)
Best For: Improving win rate on existing strategies
Timeframes: All
Rules:
1. NEVER place stops exactly at obvious liquidity zones
2. Place stops beyond the liquidity zone with buffer
3. Or place stops before the liquidity zone (tighter, riskier)
4. Monitor liquidity strength - avoid zones with strength 3+
Why It Works: Market makers hunt obvious stop clusters
Example:
• Trading long, swing low at $100 (SSL zone, strength 4)
• Bad: Stop at $99.50 (will get swept)
• Better: Stop at $98.50 (beyond the liquidity)
• Alternative: Stop at $100.50 (tighter, before sweep zone)
Strategy 4: Confluence Trading
Best For: High probability setups
Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Find liquidity zone that aligns with:
• Major support/resistance level
• Fibonacci retracement (0.618, 0.786)
• Trendline
• Round psychological number ($50,000, $2,000, etc)
2. Wait for sweep of this high-confluence zone
3. Enter on reversal with multiple confirmations
4. Larger position size justified by confluence
Why It Works: Multiple factors = institutional interest = higher probability

📱 Info Panel Guide
Located in the top-right corner, the info panel provides real-time liquidity statistics:
Buy-Side Zones
• Count of active BSL zones above current price
• Higher number = More upside targets for price
Sell-Side Zones
• Count of active SSL zones below current price
• Higher number = More downside targets for price
Total Zones
• Combined count of all active liquidity
• Useful for gauging overall market structure
Nearest BSL
• Distance in % to closest Buy-Side Liquidity above
• Example: +2.5% means BSL is 2.5% above current price
• Quick reference for next upside target
Nearest SSL
• Distance in % to closest Sell-Side Liquidity below
• Example: -1.8% means SSL is 1.8% below current price
• Quick reference for next downside target
Liquidity Bias
• ⬆️ Bullish : More BSL than SSL (upside targets dominate)
• ⬇️ Bearish : More SSL than BSL (downside targets dominate)
• ↔️ Balanced: Equal liquidity on both sides (range-bound)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Understanding Liquidity Strength
What Do The Numbers Mean?
Strength 1 : Single swing point
• Light liquidity, minor target
• Can be ignored in trending markets
• Useful in ranging/choppy conditions
Strength 2-3 : Moderate liquidity cluster
• Multiple nearby swing points merged
• Decent target for intraday moves
• Watch for potential sweeps
Strength 4-5 : Strong liquidity cluster
• Major cluster of stops
• High-probability target for institutions
• Expect reactions when swept
Strength 6+ : Extreme liquidity pool
• Massive stop cluster (rare)
• Critical zone - high probability of sweep
• Often marks major support/resistance
• Ideal for confluence setups
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Alert Setup
This indicator includes 2 powerful alert types:
1. Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps BSL zone above
• Shows potential bullish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes upward continuation after sweep
2. Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps SSL zone below
• Shows potential bearish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes downward continuation after sweep
To Set Up Alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in TradingView
2. Condition: Select "Liquidity Heatmap"
3. Choose alert type: BSL Sweep or SSL Sweep
4. Configure notification method (push, email, webhook)
5. Click "Create"
Pro Tip: Set alerts for both BSL and SSL sweeps to catch opportunities in both directions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for confirmation - Don't enter immediately on sweep, wait for reversal pattern
• Combine with trend - SSL sweeps in uptrends = higher probability longs
• Check multiple timeframes - 1H liquidity + 4H liquidity = strongest zones
• Monitor strength - Focus on zones with strength 3+
• Use proper risk management - Liquidity sweeps can go further than expected
• Watch for re-sweeps - Sometimes liquidity zones get swept multiple times
• Consider volume - High volume sweeps = stronger reversal potential
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't fade strong trends - In strong trends, sweeps often continue rather than reverse
• Don't overtrade - Not every sweep is a tradeable setup
• Don't ignore context - Check broader market conditions and news
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance, and other analysis
• Don't place stops at liquidity - Your stops will be hunted
• Don't expect perfection - Some sweeps fail, some zones never get hit
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalping: 5min, 15min (fast moves, frequent sweeps)
• Day Trading: 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Trading: 1H, 4H, Daily (major liquidity zones)
• Position Trading: 4H, Daily, Weekly (institutional liquidity)
🔥 Best Markets:
• Crypto (high volatility, frequent liquidity grabs)
• Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD - liquid pairs)
• Futures (ES, NQ, CL - high liquidity contracts)
• Stocks (large caps with high volume)
⏰ Best Times:
• Market opens (high volatility = liquidity hunting)
• Before/after major news events
• Session overlaps (London/NY for forex)
• First hour and last hour of trading

• Not all liquidity zones get swept - some remain untouched
• Market conditions change - adapt your strategy accordingly
• Always use proper position sizing and risk management
• Liquidity sweeps can be violent - use appropriate stop losses
• Practice on demo accounts before trading with real capital
• Past liquidity patterns don't guarantee future price action

VWAP From Pivots Lows and Highs
This script starts automatically VWAP from pivot lows and highs.
Parameter allows you to enable up to 3 VWAP (default).
If you use 3, the VWAP from the last three pivots point will be drawn.
If you use 1, just the last pivot point will be used.
You can also just enable VWAPs starting from pivot lows or highs.

ICT Order Block Identifier [Eˣ]📦 Order Block Identifier
Overview
The Order Block Identifier automatically detects and displays institutional order blocks on your charts - zones where banks, hedge funds, and market makers place their orders. This indicator helps identify where institutions are likely to defend their positions and where price often finds support or resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Order Blocks:
• 🟢 Bullish Order Blocks (OB+) - Last bearish candle before strong bullish move
• 🔴 Bearish Order Blocks (OB-) - Last bullish candle before strong bearish move
• Automatically identifies institutional buying/selling zones
• Tracks up to 30 order blocks simultaneously
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Features:
• Auto-Timeframe Adjustment - Optimizes detection for 1min to Weekly charts
• Active Block Highlighting - Shows which OB price is approaching
• Touch Tracking - Knows when blocks are tested
• ATR-Based Detection - Adapts to each instrument's volatility
• Strength Filtering - Choose Low/Medium/High to control sensitivity
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Order Blocks
What Are Order Blocks?
Order blocks are the "footprints" left behind by institutional traders (banks, hedge funds, market makers) when they enter large positions. Because institutions can't fill massive orders at once without moving the market, they:
1. Place orders gradually over time
2. Leave zones where their buy/sell orders are concentrated
3. Defend these zones when price returns
4. Create reliable support and resistance levels
The ICT Concept:
Developed by Michael Huddleston (Inner Circle Trader), order block theory states that:
• The last opposite-colored candle before a strong move contains institutional orders
• Price often returns to test these zones before continuing
• These zones act as strong support (bullish OB) or resistance (bearish OB)
• Smart money defends their positions at these levels
Why Order Blocks Work:
• Unfilled Orders: Institutions may still have pending orders in the block
• Position Defense: They protect their entries by adding to positions
• Stop Placement: Retail stops cluster near these zones (liquidity for institutions)
• Market Structure: Price respects these levels due to order flow dynamics
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 Bullish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or declining
2. Institutions begin accumulating (buying)
3. A strong bullish move erupts
4. The last bearish candle before this move = Bullish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were buying aggressively
Why The Last Bearish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all selling pressure at this level
• Their buy orders filled as price was declining
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more buying
• It becomes a demand zone / support level
Trading Bullish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bullish OB (green box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (pin bar, engulfing, etc.)
• Enter long when price bounces from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Below the order block
• Target: Recent high or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other support (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bullish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bullish OB forms at $50,000 (last red candle before rally)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces
• Price drops back to $50,100 (touching OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms on the OB
• Enter long at $50,200, stop at $49,800
• Target: $52,000+ (previous high)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 Bearish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or rising
2. Institutions begin distributing (selling)
3. A strong bearish move erupts
4. The last bullish candle before this move = Bearish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were selling aggressively
Why The Last Bullish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all buying pressure at this level
• Their sell orders filled as price was rising
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more selling
• It becomes a supply zone / resistance level
Trading Bearish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bearish OB (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (shooting star, bearish engulfing)
• Enter short when price rejects from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Above the order block
• Target: Recent low or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other resistance (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bearish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bearish OB forms at $48,000 (last green candle before drop)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces
• Price rallies back to $47,900 (touching OB)
• Bearish engulfing forms at the OB
• Enter short at $47,800, stop at $48,200
• Target: $46,000- (previous low)

📊 How To Use This Indicator
Strategy 1: Order Block Retest (Classic)
Best For: Swing trading, capturing reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Win Rate: 60-70% (first touch)
Entry Rules:
1. Identify unmitigated order block (bright color, not gray)
2. Wait for price to return to the OB zone
3. Look for price action confirmation:
• Bullish OB: Pin bar, bullish engulfing, hammer
• Bearish OB: Shooting star, bearish engulfing, doji
4. Enter in the direction of the OB
5. Stop loss: Beyond the opposite side of OB (20-30 pips)
6. Target: 2-3R or opposite OB
Example:
• Bullish OB at $100-$102
• Price drops to $101.50 (enters OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms with low at $100.80
• Enter long at $102 (OB high), stop at $99.50
• Risk: $2.50, Target: $107.50 (3R)
Strategy 2: Break & Retest
Best For: Trend trading, breakout confirmation
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Win Rate: 65-75%
Entry Rules:
1. Price breaks through an order block
2. Wait for pullback to the broken OB
3. The OB now acts as support (if broken up) or resistance (if broken down)
4. Enter when price respects the flipped OB
5. Stop: Inside the OB zone
6. Target: Next OB or structure level
Why It Works: Broken OBs flip polarity - support becomes resistance and vice versa
Strategy 3: Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Best For: High-probability setups
Timeframes: Combine 1H + 4H or 15min + 1H
Win Rate: 70-80%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify order block on higher timeframe (4H or Daily)
2. Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15min)
3. Wait for lower TF order block to form within higher TF OB
4. Trade the lower TF OB in direction of higher TF OB
5. Stop: Below lower TF OB
6. Target: Edge of higher TF OB or beyond
Why It Works: Alignment across timeframes = institutional consensus
Strategy 4: Order Block to Order Block
Best For: Range trading, swing entries
Timeframes: 1H, 4H
Win Rate: 55-65%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify both bullish OB below and bearish OB above
2. Price is ranging between these OBs
3. Enter long at bullish OB, target bearish OB
4. Enter short at bearish OB, target bullish OB
5. Stop: Beyond the trading OB
6. Exit at opposite OB
Why It Works: Price moves from one institutional zone to another
Strategy 5: Mitigation Fade
Best For: Aggressive scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min
Win Rate: 50-60% (higher risk)
Entry Rules:
1. Price approaches an order block
2. Instead of bouncing, price breaks through (mitigates it)
3. Enter immediately in direction of breakout
4. Stop: Back inside the mitigated OB
5. Quick target: 1-1.5R
Why It Works: When OB fails, it often leads to strong continuation

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• First touch is best - Unmitigated OBs have highest win rate (60-70%)
• Wait for confirmation - Don't buy/sell just because price touched OB
• Use multiple timeframes - Higher TF OBs are stronger than lower TF
• Combine with structure - OB + trendline/support = high probability
• Trade with the bias - More bullish OBs = favor longs
• Respect mitigation - Once OB is mitigated, it's less reliable
• Use proper stop loss - Always place stops beyond the OB zone
• Consider session timing - OBs work best during London/NY sessions
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly buy/sell at OBs - Wait for confirmation
• Don't ignore mitigation - Gray blocks are much weaker
• Don't trade every OB - Quality over quantity
• Don't fight strong trends - OBs can be run through in strong momentum
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance
• Don't expect 100% win rate - Even best OBs fail sometimes (30-40% of time)
• Don't overtrade - Wait for A+ setups with confluence
🎯 Best Timeframes By Trading Style:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (quick OB touches)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (major institutional zones)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (strongest OBs)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: Forex major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), BTC, ETH, ES, NQ
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Avoid: Very low liquidity instruments (OBs less reliable)
⏰ Best Times To Trade OBs:
• London Session (03:00-12:00 EST): Highest OB respect rate
• NY Session (08:00-17:00 EST): Strong OB reactions
• London-NY Overlap (08:00-12:00 EST): Best probability
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Advanced Order Block Concepts
Order Block Flips (Polarity Change)
When price breaks through an OB and closes beyond it:
• Bullish OB that's broken becomes bearish (support becomes resistance)
• Bearish OB that's broken becomes bullish (resistance becomes support)
• Trading: Watch for retest of broken OB from opposite side
Order Block Refinement
When multiple OBs form at similar level:
• Later OB "refines" or "replaces" the earlier one
• Use the most recent OB as the active zone
• Older OBs become less relevant
Order Block Clusters
Multiple OBs stacked close together:
• Creates a "super zone" of institutional interest
• Higher probability of reversal
• Wider zone for entries (more room for confirmation)
Fair Value Gaps + Order Blocks
When OB aligns with Fair Value Gap:
• Extremely high probability setup
• Price is drawn to fill the gap AND test the OB
• Double confluence = institutional magnet
Order Block Mitigation Types
• Full Mitigation: Price fully enters and closes inside OB
• Partial Mitigation: Price wicks into OB but closes outside
• False Mitigation: Quick touch then immediate rejection
• Partial/false mitigation = OB still somewhat valid
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common Order Block Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Retest
• OB forms during strong move
• Price continues 100-200+ pips
• Price retraces back to OB
• Clean bounce with confirmation candle
• Highest probability pattern
Pattern 2: The Double Tap
• Price tests OB, bounces weakly
• Price tests same OB again
• Second test produces stronger reaction
• Second touch often better entry
Pattern 3: The Fake-Out
• Price breaks through OB
• Immediately reverses back
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Enter after price reclaims OB
Pattern 4: The Ladder
• Multiple OBs stacked like stairs
• Price steps from one OB to next
• Each OB provides support/resistance
• Trade OB-to-OB movements
Pattern 5: The Failed OB
• Price crashes through OB without pause
• OB completely invalidated
• Often signals strong momentum
• Don't fight it, trade the breakout

Adaptive Risk Management [sgbpulse]1. Introduction:
Adaptive Risk Management is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive risk management tool directly on the chart. Instead of relying on complex manual calculations, the indicator automates all critical steps of trade planning. It dynamically calculates the estimated Entry Price , the Stop Loss location, the required Position Size (Quantity) based on your capital and risk limits, and the three Take Profit targets based on your defined Reward/Risk ratios. The indicator displays all these essential data points clearly and visually on the chart, ensuring you always know the potential risk-reward profile of every trade.
ARM : The A daptive R isk M anagement every trader needs to ARM themselves with.
2. The Critical Importance of Risk Management
Proper risk management is the cornerstone of successful trading. Consistent profitability in the market is impossible without rigorously defining risk limits.
Risk Control: This starts by setting the maximum risk amount you are willing to lose in a single trade (Risk per Trade), and limiting the total capital allocated to the position (Max Capital per Trade).
Defining Boundaries (Stop Loss & Take Profit): It is mandatory to define a technical Stop Loss and a Take Profit target. A fundamental rule of risk management is that the Reward/Risk Ratio (R/R) must be a minimum of 1:1.
3. Core Features, Adaptivity, and Customization
The Adaptive Risk Management indicator is engineered for use across all major trading styles, including Swing Trading, Intraday Trading, and Scalping, providing consistent risk control regardless of the chosen timeframe.
Real-Time Dynamic Adaptivity: The indicator calculates all risk management parameters (Entry, Stop Loss, Quantity) dynamically with every new bar, thus adapting instantly to changing market conditions.
Trend Direction Adjustment: Define the analysis direction (Long/Uptrend or Short/Downtrend).
Intraday Session Data Control: Full control over whether lookback calculations will include data from Extended Trading Hours (ETH), or if the daily calculations will start actively only from the first bar of Regular Trading Hours (RTH).
Status Validation: The indicator performs critical status checks and displays clear Warning Messages if risk conditions are not met.
4. Intuitive Visualization and Real-Time Data
Dynamic Tracking Lines: The Entry Price and Stop Loss lines are updated with every new bar. Crucially, the length of these lines dynamically reflects the calculation's lookback range (e.g., the extent of Lookback Bars or the location of the confirmed Pivot Point), providing a visual anchor for the calculated price.
Risk and Reward Zones: The indicator creates a graphical background fill between Entry and Stop Loss (marked with the risk color) and between Entry and the Reward Targets (marked with the reward color).
Essential Information Labels: Labels are placed at the end of each line, providing critical data: Estimated Entry Price, Stock/Contract Quantity (Quantity), Total Entry Amount, Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Total Financial Risk (Risk Amount), Exit Amount, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.1. Data Window Metrics (16 Full Series)
The indicator displays 16 full data series in the TradingView Data Window, allowing precise tracking of every calculation parameter:
Entry Data: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Entry Amount.
Risk Data (Stop Loss): Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Risk Amount, Exit Amount.
Reward Data (Take Profit): Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.2. Instant Tracking in the Status Line
The indicator displays 6 critical parameters continuously in the indicator's Status Line: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Estimated Stop Loss, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3.
5. Detailed Indicator Inputs
5.1 General
Focused Trend: Defines the analysis direction (Uptrend / Downtrend).
Max Capital per Trade: The maximum amount allocated to purchasing stocks/contracts (in account currency).
Risk per Trade: The maximum amount the user is willing to risk in this single trade (in account currency).
ATR Length: The lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation.
5.2 Intraday Session Data Control
Regular Hours Limitation : If enabled, all daily lookback calculations (for Entry/Stop Loss anchor points) will begin strictly from the first Regular Trading Hours (RTH) bar. This limits the lookback range to the current RTH session, excluding preceding Extended Trading Hours (ETH) data. Only relevant for Intraday charts. Default: False (Off)
5.3 Entry Inputs
Entry Method: Selects the entry price calculation method:
Current Price: Uses the closing price of the current bar as the estimated entry point (Market Entry).
ATR Real Bodies Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum Real Body over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Real Body over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum High price over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Low price over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The number of bars used to calculate the extremes in the ATR-based entry methods (Relevant only for ATR Real Bodies Margin and ATR Bars Margin methods).
ATR Multiplier (Entry): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to determine the estimated Entry Price.
5.4 Risk Inputs (Stop Loss)
Risk Method: Selects the Stop Loss price calculation method.
ATR Current Price Margin :
- Uptrend: Entry Price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Entry Price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Current Bar Margin :
- Uptrend: Current Bar's Low price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Current Bar's High price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Lowest Low over lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Highest High over lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Pivot Margin :
- Uptrend: The first confirmed Pivot Low point - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: The first confirmed Pivot High point + the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The lookback period for finding the extreme price used in the 'ATR Bars Margin' calculation.
ATR Multiplier (Risk): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to place the estimated Stop Loss. Note: If set to 0, the Stop Loss will be placed exactly at the technical anchor point, provided the Minimum Margin Value is also 0.
Minimum Margin Value: The minimum price value (e.g., $0.01) the Stop Loss margin buffer must be.
Pivot (Left / Right): The number of bars required on either side of the pivot bar for confirmation (relevant only for the ATR Pivot Margin method).
5.5 Reward Inputs (Take Profit)
Show Take Profit 1/2/3: ON/OFF switch to control the visibility of each Take Profit target.
Reward/Risk Ratio 1/ 2/ 3: Defines the R/R ratio for the profit target. Must be ≥1.0.
6. Indicator Status/Warning Messages
In situations where the Stop Loss location cannot be calculated logically and validly, often caused by a mismatch between the configured Focused Trend (Uptrend/Downtrend) and the actual price action, the indicator will display a warning message, explaining the reason and suggesting corrective action.
Status Message 1: Pivot reference unavailable
Condition: The Stop Loss is set to the "ATR Pivot Margin" method, but the anchor point (Pivot) is missing or inaccessible.
Message Displayed: "Pivot reference unavailable. Wait for valid price action, or adjust the Regular Hours Limitation setting or Pivot Left/Right inputs."
Status Message 2: Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe
Condition: The calculated Stop Loss is placed illogically or unsafely relative to the trend direction and the Entry price.
Message Displayed: "Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe for current trend. Wait for valid price action or adjust SL Lookback/Multiplier."
7. Summary
The Adaptive Risk Management (ARM) indicator provides a seamless and systematic approach to trade execution and risk control. By dynamically automating all critical trade parameters—from Entry Price and Stop Loss placement to Position Sizing and Take Profit targets—ARM removes emotional bias and ensures every trade adheres strictly to your predefined risk profile.
Key Benefits:
Systematic Risk Control: Strict enforcement of maximum capital allocation and risk per trade limits.
Adaptivity: Dynamic calculation of prices and quantities based on real-time market data (ATR and Lookback).
Clarity and Trust: Clear on-chart visualization, precise data metrics (16 series), and unambiguous Status/Warning Messages ensure transparency and reliability.
ARM allows traders to focus on strategy and analysis, confident that their execution complies with the core principles of professional risk management.

Hash Ratings EngineHash Ratings Engine - Technical Consensus Strategy
A systematic trading strategy that harnesses TradingView's Technical Ratings to generate high-conviction entries with institutional-grade risk management.
What It Does
This strategy aggregates the consensus of 26+ technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Stochastics, multiple Moving Averages, etc.) into a single actionable signal. When enough indicators align bullish or bearish, the engine triggers an entry. Built-in trend filtering and ATR-based exits keep you on the right side of the market.
Key Features
Trend Filter - Only takes longs in uptrends, shorts in downtrends. This single filter typically improves results by 20-40% by avoiding counter-trend trades.
ATR-Based Risk Management - Stop loss and trailing stops adapt to current market volatility. Tight stops in calm markets, wider stops in volatile conditions.
Cooldown System - After a losing trade, the strategy waits before re-entering. This prevents the consecutive loss streaks that destroy accounts.
Clean Visuals - Fluorescent entry/exit signals with price level references. See exactly where you got in and out.

Trail Activation: How far price must move in profit before trailing begins.
Trail Offset: How closely the trail follows price.
Trend Filter
EMA Length: 150 works well on 4H charts. Use 100 for lower timeframes, 200 for daily.
Trade Timing
Cooldown: Keep enabled. 5 bars is a good starting point.
Best Practices
Start with default settings and backtest on your preferred instrument. Adjust the Strong Signal Threshold first - this has the biggest impact on trade frequency. Then tune the EMA length to match your timeframe. Finally, optimize the ATR multipliers for your risk tolerance.
Works on any liquid market - crypto, forex, stocks, futures. Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) tend to produce cleaner signals than lower timeframes.
Disclaimer
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always backtest thoroughly and use proper position sizing. This strategy is for educational purposes - trade at your own risk.
TTM Squeeze Pro Enhanced v1.5.1 [pyrevo]# TTM Squeeze Pro Enhanced
**Version:** 1.5.1
**Author:** pyrevo
**License:** MPL 2.0
## Credits
This indicator is a collective work based on the contributions of the TradingView community:
* **John Carter**: Creator of the original TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro concepts.
* **Lazybear**: Original interpretation of the TTM Squeeze (Squeeze Momentum Indicator).
* **Makit0**: Evolution of Lazybear's script to factor in TTM Squeeze Pro upgrades (Squeeze PRO Arrows).
* **marsrides**: Some aesthetics solutions.
* **Beardy_Fred**: The base code from which this enhanced version was derived.
## Overview
**TTM Squeeze Pro Enhanced** is a professional-grade momentum and volatility indicator designed to identify explosive breakout opportunities. It is a refined version of the community's collective works, with amendments primarily to the Squeeze Conditions and visual aesthetics to provide a clearer, more actionable reading of market state.
### The Concept
For those unfamiliar with the TTM Squeeze, it is a visual way of seeing how Bollinger Bands (standard deviations from a simple moving average) relate to Keltner Channels (average true range bands) compared with the momentum of the price action.
The concept is that as Bollinger Bands compress within Keltner Channels, price volatility decreases, giving way for a potential explosive price movement up or down.
### TTM Squeeze vs. TTM Squeeze Pro
* **Original TTM Squeeze:** Uses a 1.5 ATR Keltner Channel.
* **TTM Squeeze Pro (Enhanced):** Uses 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 ATR Keltner Channels.
This helps differentiate between levels of squeeze (compression). The greater the compression (Bollinger Bands moving deeper into tighter Keltner Channels), the more potential for explosive moves.
## Indicator Analysis
### 1. Squeeze Detection (Dots)
The colored dots along the zero line represent the state of market volatility. This enhanced version uses a distinct color palette to indicate compression levels:
* **🔴 Red Dots (High Compression):** Extreme squeeze. One or both Bollinger Bands are inside the 1.0 ATR Keltner Channel.
* **🟠 Orange Dots (Medium Compression):** Significant squeeze. One or both BBs are inside the 1.5 ATR Keltner Channel.
* **⚪ Gray Dots (Low Compression):** Standard squeeze. One or both BBs are inside the 2.0 ATR Keltner Channel.
* **◽ Light Gray Dots (No Squeeze):** Volatility is normal or expanding. Squeeze has "fired".
### 2. Momentum (Histogram)
The histogram bars show price momentum relative to the squeeze:
* **Bright Green:** Positive, increasing momentum (Bullish).
* **Dark Green:** Positive, decreasing momentum (Bullish exhaustion).
* **Bright Red:** Negative, increasing momentum (Bearish).
* **Dark Red:** Negative, decreasing momentum (Bearish exhaustion).
### 3. Dual Momentum System
An optional secondary system to gauge trend strength:
* **Fast & Slow Momentum Lines:** Moving averages of the momentum to help identify crossovers.
* **Trend Crossovers:** Triangle markers indicate when fast momentum crosses slow momentum.
## Ideal Scenario
As the ticker enters the squeeze, **Gray dots** would warn of the beginning of a low compression squeeze. As the Bollinger bands continue to constrict, **Orange dots** would highlight a medium compression. As the price action and momentum continues to compress, a **Red dot** shows warning of high compression.
As price action leaves the squeeze, the coloring would reverse (Red → Orange → Gray → Light Gray). Any compression squeeze is considered "fired" at the first Light Gray dot that appears.
*Note: This is an ideal progression, however any type of squeeze sequence may appear at anytime.*
## Entry and Exit Guide
* **Entry:** John Carter recommends entering a position after at least 5 dots of compression (Gray/Orange/Red) or waiting for the first "No Squeeze" dot (Light Gray) to appear with confirming momentum.
* **Exit:** Exit on the second bar of decreasing momentum (Dark Green or Dark Red), or remain in the position after confirming a continuing trend through a separate indicator.
## Settings & Customization
* **Timeframe:** Built-in Multi-Timeframe (MTF) support allowing you to view higher-timeframe squeeze signals on lower-timeframe charts.
* **Appearance Modes:**
* **Default:** Standard enhanced palette.
* **Modern:** High-contrast palette (Teal/Red/Gold).
* **Classic MACD:** Traditional Blue/Orange line configuration.
* **Dashboard:** An on-chart table providing real-time data on squeeze status, momentum value, and trend strength.
Trend Vector Pro v2.0Title: Trend Vector Pro v2.0
👨💻 Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi
💡 Strategy Overview & Coherence
Trend Vector Pro (TVPro) is a momentum-based trend & reversal strategy that uses a custom smoothed oscillator, an optional ADX filter, and classic Pivot Points to create a single, coherent trading framework.
Instead of stacking random indicators, TVPro is built around these integrated components:
A custom momentum engine (signal generation)
An optional ADX filter (trend quality control)
Daily Pivot Points (context, targets & S/R)
Swing-based “Golden Bar” trailing stops (trade management)
Optional extended bar detection (overextension alerts)
All parts are designed to work together and are documented below to address originality & usefulness requirements.
🔍 Core Components & Justification
1. Custom Momentum Engine (Main Signal Source)
TVPro’s engine is a custom oscillator derived from the bar midpoint ( hl2 ), similar in spirit to the Awesome Oscillator but adapted and fully integrated into the strategy. It measures velocity and acceleration of price, letting the script distinguish between strong impulses, weakening trends, and pure noise.
2. ADX Filter (Trend Strength Validation – Optional)
Uses Average Directional Index (ADX) as a gatekeeper.
Why this matters: This prevents the strategy from firing signals in choppy, non-trending environments (when ADX is below the threshold) and keeps trades focused on periods of clear directional strength.
3. Classic Pivot Points (Context & Targets)
Calculates Daily Pivot Points ( PP, R1-R3, S1-S3 ) via request.security() using prior session data.
Why this matters: Momentum gives the signal, ADX validates the environment, and Pivots add external structure for risk and target planning. This is a designed interaction, not a random mashup.
🧭 Trend State Logic (5-State Bar Coloring)
The strategy uses the momentum's value + slope to define five states, turning the chart into a visual momentum map:
🟢 STRONG BULL (Bright Green): Momentum accelerating UP. → Strong upside impulse.
🌲 WEAK BULL (Dark Green): Momentum decelerating DOWN (while positive). → Pullback/pause zone.
🔴 STRONG BEAR (Bright Red): Momentum accelerating DOWN. → Strong downside impulse.
🍷 WEAK BEAR (Dark Red): Momentum decelerating UP (while negative). → Rally/short-covering zone.
🔵 NEUTRAL / CHOP (Cyan): Momentum is near zero (based on noise threshold). → Consolidation / low volatility.
🎯 Signal Logic Modes
TVPro provides two selectable entry styles, controlled by input:
Reversals Only (Cleaner Mode – Default): Targets trend flips. Entry triggers when the current state is Bullish (or Bearish) and the previous state was not. This reduces noise and over-trading.
All Strong Pulses (Aggressive Mode): Targets acceleration phases. Entry triggers when the bar turns to STRONG BULL or STRONG BEAR after any other state. This mode produces more trades.
📌 Risk Management Tools
Golden Bars – Trailing Stops: Yellow “Trail” Arrows mark confirmed Swing Highs/Lows. These are used as logical trailing stop levels based on market structure.
Extended Bars: Detects when price closes outside a 2-standard-deviation channel, flagging overextension where a pullback is more likely.
Pivot Points: Used as external targets for Take Profit and structural stop placement.
⚙️ Strategy Defaults (Crucial for Publication Compliance)
To keep backtest results realistic and in line with House Rules, TVPro is published with the following fixed default settings:
Order Size: 5% of equity per trade ( default_qty_value = 5 )
Commission: 0.04% per order ( commission_value = 0.04 )
Slippage: 2 ticks ( slippage = 2 )
Initial Capital: 10,000
📘 How to Trade with Trend Vector Pro
Entry: Take Long when a Long signal appears and confirm the bar is Green (Bull state). Short for Red (Bear state).
Stop Loss: Place the initial SL near the latest swing High/Low, or near a relevant Pivot level.
Trade Management: Follow Golden (Trail) Arrows to trail your stop behind structure.
Exits: Exit when: the trailing stop is hit, Price reaches a major Pivot level, or an opposite signal prints.

Advanced Breakout System v2.0Advanced Breakout System v2.0
Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi
This script hunts for high-probability breakouts by combining price consolidation zones, volume spikes vs. average volume, smart money flow (OBV), and a Momentum Override for explosive moves that skip consolidation. Additionally, it automatically identifies and plots Support and Resistance levels with price labels to help you visualize market structure.
The system follows a "Watch & Confirm" logic: it first prints a WATCH setup, then a BUY only if price confirms strength.
💡 JUSTIFICATION OF CONCEPTS (MASHUP & ORIGINALITY)
This script is an original mashup combining several analytical concepts to address common breakout failures:
Volatility Compression Engine: Uses built-in functions like ta.highest() and ta.lowest() to mathematically define the setup phase where price volatility is compressed below a user-defined threshold.
Volume Spike Confirmation: The breakout must be confirmed by a volume increase greater than a moving average of volume, signaling strong market interest.
Smart Volume Filter (OBV): This is the key component. By checking if ta.obv is above its own Moving Average, we confirm that accumulation has been occurring during the consolidation period, suggesting institutional positioning before the price break.
Multi-Exit Risk System: Employs dynamic exits (EMA cross, volume dump, bearish pattern) instead of static stop-losses to manage risk adaptively based on real-time market action.
Market Structure Visualization: The script also includes a Support & Resistance engine to plot key swing pivots and price labels for visual context.
✅ STRATEGY RESULTS & POLICY COMPLIANCE
To ensure non-misleading and transparent backtesting results, this strategy is published with the following fully compliant properties:
Dataset Compliance: The backtest is performed on the CMTL Daily (1D) chart across a long history, generating 201 total trades. This significantly exceeds the minimum requirement of 100 trades, providing a robust test dataset.
Risk Control: The strategy uses a conservative order size set to 2% of equity (default_qty_value=2), strictly adhering to the sustainable risk recommendation of 5-10% of equity per trade.
Transaction Costs: Realistic trading conditions are modeled using 0.07% commission and 3 ticks slippage to prevent the overestimation of profitability.
⚙️ VISUAL GUIDE & SIGNAL LOGIC
Key Color Legend (Visual Guide):
WATCH – Setup (Yellow Arrow Down): Potential breakout setup detected.
BUY – Confirmation (Green Arrow Up): Confirmed breakout, triggered when price trades above the high of the WATCH candle.
SELL – Break (Orange Arrow): Short-term trend weakness, triggered when price closes below the Fast EMA (9).
SELL – Dump (Dark Red Arrow): Distribution / volume dump, triggered by a bearish candle with abnormally high volume.
SELL – Pattern (Purple Arrow): Bearish price-action pattern (such as a bearish engulfing).
Support & Resistance Lines (Red/Green): Small horizontal lines plotted at key swing points with exact price labels.
⌨️ INPUTS (DEFAULT SETTINGS)
Entry settings: Consolidation Lookback (default 20) = bars used to detect consolidation. Consolidation Range % (default 12%) = max allowed range size. Volume Spike Multiplier (default 1.2) = factor above average volume to count as a spike. Force Signal on Big Moves (default ON) = forces a WATCH signal on high-momentum moves.
Exit settings: Enable Fast Exit (EMA 9) toggles the SELL – Break signal. Dump Volume Multiplier defines what counts as “dump” volume.
Support & Resistance: Adjustable Pivot Left/Right bars control the sensitivity of the support and resistance lines.

ueuito Trend Strength LSMA-BasedAnother experience.... still improving
Indicator Description (English)
Name: Trend Strength LSMA-Based
Overview:
This indicator is designed to measure the strength and exhaustion of a trend based on the Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA). It combines price, trend slope, volume, and volatility to calculate a trend exhaustion score, which is then smoothed and visualized as a colored area on the chart. The indicator also plots discrete points to signal potential reversals or decreases in trend intensity.
Key Features:
LSMA-Based Trend Strength:
Calculates a Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) of the selected timeframe.
Measures the slope of the LSMA to capture trend direction and momentum.
Trend Exhaustion Score:
Combines multiple factors:
Distance between price and LSMA
LSMA slope (trend strength)
Volume relative to its moving average
ATR-based volatility
Each factor is weighted according to user-defined inputs.
The combined score is multiplied to produce a scaled trend exhaustion value.
Smoothed Area Plot:
The trend exhaustion score is smoothed using an EMA to reduce noise.
Displayed as a colored area that changes based on trend strength:
Strong bullish exhaustion → dark green
Weak bullish exhaustion → light green
Strong bearish exhaustion → dark red
Weak bearish exhaustion → light red
Neutral → gray
Dynamic Visual Cues:
Points for reversals: small green/red circles appear when the trend changes direction.
Points for intensity decrease: small green/red circles appear when the trend weakens but has not yet reversed.
The area’s color intensity dynamically reflects the strength of the trend exhaustion, making it visually intuitive.
Multi-Timeframe Support:
The indicator can calculate the trend exhaustion based on a different timeframe from the chart, allowing for higher timeframe trend analysis on lower timeframe charts.
Customizable Settings:
LSMA period, smoothing length, volume period, ATR period
Weighting for each factor in the score calculation
Thresholds for weak/strong exhaustion
Timeframe selection
Usage:
Identify when a trend is losing strength or approaching a potential reversal.
Helps visualize the current momentum and exhaustion of bullish or bearish trends.
Can be used in conjunction with other technical tools for confirming entries or exits.
Important Note:
Depending on the asset, market volatility, and timeframe, it may be necessary to adjust the indicator settings to optimize its responsiveness and accuracy. The default parameters provide a general starting point but fine-tuning is recommended for best results.
TrendPeriodsThis indicator is binary. It is either BUY or SELL. In other word the value is either 0 or 1
Rolling Volume Profile [Matrix Volume Heatmap] by NXT2017Description
This indicator offers a unique visual approach to Volume Profile analysis. Instead of the traditional histogram bars or boxes, this script renders a Rolling Volume Profile as a background "Matrix Heatmap" directly on your chart.
By dividing the price action of the most recent N-candles into 30 horizontal zones (buckets), it visualizes where the most trading activity has occurred within your defined lookback period. The visualization uses dynamic transparency to highlight the Point of Control (POC) and high-volume nodes, while fading out low-volume areas.
🧠 How it Works
The script operates on a "Rolling Window" basis, meaning it recalculates the profile at every bar to reflect the immediate market context.
Dynamic Range: It calculates the highest High and lowest Low of the user-defined Lookback Length (default: 1000 bars).
Bucket Slicing: This vertical range is divided into 30 equal price buckets.
Volume Distribution (Overlap Logic): The script iterates through the historical data. If a candle is large and spans multiple buckets, its volume is distributed proportionally across those buckets. This ensures a more realistic profile compared to simply assigning volume to the close price.
Heatmap Visualization:
The script calculates the Maximum Volume (POC) within the profile.
It uses a Reference Length to normalize this maximum.
Dynamic Opacity: Zones with volume close to the maximum are rendered opaque (solid). Zones with low relative volume become highly transparent. This creates an automatic "Heatmap" effect, allowing you to instantly spot the most significant price levels.
⚙️ Settings
Lookback Length (candles): Defines how far back the profile calculates volume (e.g., 1000 bars).
POC Reference Length: Defines the smoothing window for the 100% volume baseline. Increasing this stabilizes the color changes; decreasing it makes the heatmap more reactive to sudden volume spikes.
Profil Color: Choose the base color for the matrix. The transparency is calculated automatically.
💡 Use Case
This tool is ideal for traders who want to see the "Value Area" of the current range without cluttering the chart with complex boxes or side-bars. It works excellent as a background context tool to identify:
High Volume Nodes (Support/Resistance)
Low Volume Nodes (Price gaps/Rejection areas)
Migrating Points of Control (Trend direction)
Adaptive Volatility Stop by Pedro Paulo de MeloStop ATR is a clean and reliable volatility-based trailing stop system, built to adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR).
It identifies trend direction, adjusts the stop level using stair-step logic, and automatically flips the stop when price reversals occur.
How it works
Uses ATR × Multiplier to calculate an adaptive volatility buffer
Tracks trend direction internally
Recomputes and repositions the stop when a trend flip is detected
Plots separate lines for bullish and bearish stop states
Works on any market and timeframe (crypto, forex, commodities, indices, stocks)
Why it’s useful
This Stop ATR implementation is extremely stable and visually clean.
It is particularly effective for:
Trend following
Position management
Swing and position trading
Systematic stop placement
Unlike many ATR-based stop versions, this script uses a corrected flip-handling method that prevents stop misalignment and ensures consistent trend state tracking.
Inputs
Period — ATR length
Multiplier — ATR factor that defines stop distance

• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar

Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 📈 TIMEFRAME SELECTION GUIDE
| Your Timeframe | What You See | Best For |
|---------------|--------------|----------|
| **1-minute** | Every tick, high noise | Scalping, precision entries |
| **5-minute** | Balanced clarity | Day trading (RECOMMENDED) |
| **15-minute** | Clean structure | Swing positions |

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity
```

## 📊 INTEGRATION WITH YM ULTIMATE SNIPER v8.1
**The 2-System Confluence Method:**
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 1: SNIPER ORB → Defines "Zones That Matter" │
│ • 30min ORB = primary institutional range │
│ • VWAP = fair value anchor │
│ • Targets = profit zones │
│ • 5min/15min = early warning signals │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 2: YM ULTIMATE SNIPER → Triggers precise entry │
│ • Wait for GOD MODE signal AT 30min ORB boundary │
│ • 6-gate filter: Score ≥9, fat body ≥70%, delta ≥70% │
│ • Candle Dominance Index (CDI) ≥7 │
│ • Intrabar pressure consistent throughout formation │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 3: EXECUTE TRADE │
│ • ORB breakout + GOD MODE = MAXIMUM PROBABILITY │
│ • Enter ONLY when BOTH systems align │
│ • This is TRUE "sniper" trading (2-5 trades/day max) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Confluence Scoring for Combined System:**
```

TOTAL POSSIBLE: 12 points
TRADE EXECUTION RULES:
• 10-12 points = MAX SIZE (this is the holy grail setup)
• 8-9 points = FULL SIZE (high probability)
• 6-7 points = HALF SIZE (moderate probability)
• <6 points = NO TRADE (wait for better alignment)
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds
□ Daily journal template prepared
□ Emotional state: calm, patient, focused

□ Understand auto-disappear behavior (ORBs delete at session end)
□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH

END OF SNIPER ORB TRADING CHEAT SHEET v1.0
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OHLC HistoryOHLC History is a Pine Script v6 overlay that snapshots up to 32 historical OHLC-derived levels from a selectable higher (or different) timeframe and projects them onto the active chart. It uses request.security to fetch the chosen source (Close/High/Low/Open), rounds each value to the instrument’s minimum tick, and stores them in an array. A “Max Number Lookback” input limits how many of those levels are rendered. For each retained level the script draws a horizontal line extended both ways, coloring it dynamically based on whether the level is above (customizable “above” color) or below (customizable “below” color) the current price, and places compact labels (01–32) with optional price text offset by a user-defined label distance. Prior bar artifacts (lines and labels) are explicitly deleted each update to keep the chart clean, while small white plot markers ensure the levels appear in the price scale and data window for quick reference.
