Session Gap Fill [LuxAlgo]The Session Gap Fill tool detects and highlights filled and unfilled price gaps between regular sessions. It features a dashboard with key statistics about the detected gaps.
The tool is highly customizable, allowing users to filter by different types of gaps and customize how they are displayed on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool detects all price gaps between sessions. A price gap is defined as a difference between the opening price of one session and the closing price of the previous session. In this case, the tool uses the opening price of the first bar of the session against the closing price of the previous bar.
A bullish gap is detected when the session open price is higher than the last close, and a bearish gap is detected when the session open price is lower than the last close.
Gaps represent a change in market sentiment, a difference in what market participants think between the close of one trading session and the open of the next.
What is useful to traders is not the gap itself, but how the market reacts to it.
Unfilled gaps occur when prices do not return to the previous session's closing price.
Filled gaps occur when prices come back to the previous session's close price.
By analyzing how markets react to gaps, traders can understand market sentiment, whether different prices are accepted or rejected, and take advantage of this information to position themselves in favor of bullish or bearish market sentiment.
Next, we will cover the Gap Type Filter and Statistics Dashboard.
🔹 Gap Type Filter
Traders can choose from three options: display all gaps, display only overlapping gaps, or display only non-overlapping gaps. All gaps are displayed by default.
An overlapping gap is defined when the first bar of the session has any price in common with the previous bar. No overlapping gap is defined when the two bars do not share any price levels.
As we will see in the next section, there are clear differences in market behavior around these types of gaps.
🔹 Statistics Dashboard
The Statistics Dashboard displays key metrics that help traders understand market behavior around each type of gap.
Gaps: The percentage of bullish and bearish gaps.
Filled: The percentage of filled bullish and bearish gaps.
Reversed: The percentage of filled gaps that move in favor of the gap
Bars Avg.: The average number of bars for a gap to be filled.
Now, let's analyze the chart on the left of the image to understand those stats. These are the stats for all gaps, both overlapping and non-overlapping.
Of the total, bullish gaps represent 55%, and bearish ones represent 44%. The gap bias is pretty balanced in this market.
The second statistic, Filled, shows that 63% of gaps are filled, both bullish and bearish. Therefore, there is a higher probability that a gap will be filled than not.
The third statistic is reversed. This is the percentage of filled gaps where prices move in favor of the gap. This applies to filled bullish gaps when the close of the session is above the open, and to filled bearish gaps when the close of the session is below the open. In other words, first there is a gap, then it fills, and finally it reverses. As we can see in the chart, this only happens 35% of the time for bullish gaps and 29% of the time for bearish gaps.
The last statistic is Bars Avg., which is the average number of bars for a gap to be filled. On average, it takes between one and two bars for both bullish and bearish gaps. On average, gaps fill quickly.
As we can see on the chart, selecting different types of gaps yields different statistics and market behavior. For example, overlapping gaps have a greater than 90% chance of being filled, whereas non-overlapping gaps have a less than 40% chance.

Breakout
Tight Entry Trend Engine Strategy═══════════════════════════════════════
TIGHT ENTRY TREND ENGINE
═══════════════════════════════════════
A breakout-based trend-following system designed to capture explosive
moves by entering at precise resistance/support breakouts with minimal
entry risk and massive profit potential.
⚠️ LOW WIN RATE, HIGH REWARD SYSTEM ⚠️
This is NOT a high win-rate strategy. Expect 25-35% winners, but
when it hits, winners are typically 10X+ larger than losers.
═══════════════════════════════════════
🎯 WHAT THIS SYSTEM DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════
The Tight Entry Trend Engine identifies powerful breakout opportunities
by detecting when price breaks through established trendlines with
confirmation from higher timeframe trends:
1. DYNAMIC TRENDLINE DETECTION (3 BANKS)
• Automatically draws support and resistance trendlines
• 3 separate "banks" capture short-term, medium-term, and long-term levels
• Each bank has configurable parameters (required pivot touch count,
angle limits, lengths)
2. BREAKOUT ENTRY TIMING
• Enters LONG when price breaks ABOVE resistance trendlines
• Enters SHORT when price breaks BELOW support trendlines
• Entry Alert occurs at the exact moment of breakout = "tight entry"
• Stop-loss placed just below/above the broken trendline (configurable)
3. HIGHER TIMEFRAME TREND FILTER
• Uses Hull Moving Average (HMA) on higher timeframe for trend following
• Auto-adjusts HTF based on your chart timeframe
• Optional filters prevent entries against major trend
• Optional "overextension" filter avoids buying parabolic moves
4. VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
• Stop-loss calculated using Average True Range (ATR)
• Tighter stops = better R:R
• Profit targets adjust dynamically with volatility
• Breakeven stop moves automatically when in profit
• Extended profit targets when far from HTF trend
═══════════════════════════════════════
📊 HOW IT WORKS (METHODOLOGY)
═══════════════════════════════════════
STEP 1: TRENDLINE FORMATION
The system continuously scans for pivot highs and pivot lows to
construct trendlines. You control:
BANK 1 (Short-Term):
- Pivot Length: How many bars to look back for swing points
- Min Touches: How many pivots needed to form a line (default: 3)
- Max Length: How far back lines can reach (default: 180 bars)
- Angle Limits: Maximum steepness allowed for valid trendlines
- Tolerance: How close pivots must align to form horizontal lines
BANK 2 (Medium-Term):
- Slightly longer pivot periods for more significant levels
- Captures medium-term trend structure
- Default Max Length: 200 bars
BANK 3 (Long-Term):
- Focuses on major support/resistance zones
- Often uses horizontal levels (angled lines disabled by default)
- Default Max Length: 300 bars
The system draws RESISTANCE lines (red) above price and SUPPORT
lines (green) below price. These adapt in real-time as new pivots form.
STEP 2: BREAKOUT DETECTION
LONG SIGNALS:
- Price closes above a resistance trendline
- Higher timeframe trend is up (optional filter)
- Price not overextended from HTF trend (optional filter)
- No position currently open
SHORT SIGNALS:
- Price closes below a support trendline
- Higher timeframe trend is down (optional filter)
- Price not overextended from HTF trend (optional filter)
- No position currently open
The "tight" aspect: Because you're entering right at the trendline
break, your stop-loss can be placed very close (just below the
broken resistance for longs), creating exceptional risk/reward ratios.
STEP 3: POSITION SIZING
Choose between:
- Fixed $ Risk Per Trade: Risk same dollar amount every trade
- % Risk Per Trade: Risk percentage of current equity
Position size automatically calculated based on:
- Your risk amount
- Distance to stop-loss (ATR-based)
- Works with stocks, futures, crypto (auto-adjusts for contract multipliers)
STEP 4: EXIT MANAGEMENT
Multiple exit methods working together:
- PROFIT TARGET: Exits when profit reaches 100x your risk
- EXTENDED PROFIT: Earlier exit (80R) when very far from HTF trend
- STOP LOSS: Fixed ATR-based stop below entry
- HTF TREND EXIT: Exits when price crosses below HTF trend with profit
- BREAKEVEN PULLBACK: Exits if profit drops below 0.6R after reaching breakeven
- PARTIAL PROFITS: Optional - take partial profits at specified R-multiple
═══════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY COMPONENTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════
HULL MOVING AVERAGE (HMA)
A smoothed moving average that reduces lag compared to traditional
MAs. The system uses HMA on a higher timeframe to determine the
dominant trend direction. You can choose:
- Auto HTF: System picks appropriate HTF based on your chart timeframe
- Manual HTF: You specify the higher timeframe
AVERAGE TRUE RANGE (ATR)
Measures current market volatility. Used for:
- Stop-loss distance (tighter when volatility low)
- Profit targets (larger when volatility high)
- Position sizing (smaller positions in volatile conditions)
- Breakeven trigger distance
TRENDLINE ANGLE FILTERING
Each trendline bank has angle limits to ensure quality:
- Resistance lines: Max downward/upward slope allowed
- Support lines: Max downward/upward slope allowed
- Angles automatically adjust based on current volatility
- Prevents overly steep/unreliable trendlines
SENSITIVITY CONTROL
One master slider adjusts multiple parameters:
- Trendline detection sensitivity
- HTF MA length
- Exit timing
- Auto-adjusts for daily+ timeframes (60% increase)

💡 TRADING PHILOSOPHY & EXPECTATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════
This system is built on one core principle:
"ACCEPT SMALL, FREQUENT LOSSES TO CAPTURE RARE, MASSIVE WINS"
What this means:
- You WILL lose 65%-75% of your trades
- Most losses will be small (1-2R)
- Some winners hit 80R+
- Over time, math works in your favour
Breakout Score (0–100)Breakouts are often the trader's best setups. Often seen on the chart as wedges and flags, consolidation before a pop up or down. This script attempts to visualize breakout potential with gradients in the background. I built this to place on my side charts to quickly visualize that a setup was forming.
For this indicator, Breakouts have generally been assumed as:
Decrease in average volume over N candles
Proximity to VWAP
Convergence/cross of price to the 9, 20 and 50 EMAs
Range compression (formation of flag or consolidation)
each of these factors are scored and rated. Multiple signals exponentially increase the gradient. Depending on the score, the chart will display a visual gradient behind the chart. Color, opacity and filtering fully customizable.

Quant Trend + Donchian (Educational, Public-Safe)What this does
Educational, public-safe visualization of a quant regime model:
• Trend : EMA(64) vs EMA(256) (EWMAC proxy)
• Breakout : Donchian channel (200)
• Volatility-awareness : internal z-scores (not plotted) for concept clarity
Why it’s useful
• Shows when trend & breakout align (clean regimes) vs conflict (chop)
• Helps explain why volatility-aware systems size up in smooth trends and scale down in noise
How to read it
• EMA64 above EMA256 with price near/above Donchian high → trend-following alignment
• EMA64 below EMA256 with price near/below Donchian low → bearish alignment
• Inside channel with EMAs tangled → range/chop risk
Notes
• Indicator is educational only (no orders).
• Built entirely with TradingView built-ins.
• For consistent visuals: enable “Indicator values on price scale” and disable “Scale price chart only” in Settings → Scales .

Long Elite Squeeze (LES 2.1) NV/CDV AI LindsayLES 2.1 — Long Elite Squeeze
Creator: Hunter Hammond •: Elite × FineFir H.H (AI “Lindsay”)
Discord: elitexfinefir
LES (“Long Elite Squeeze”) is a momentum + flow-aware long strategy built for small-float, high-velocity stocks. It blends a classic squeeze engine (BB/KC), adaptive RVOL/RSI gating, VWAP slope, ADX trend filtering, WaveTrend timing, and new Net-Volume/CVD flow exits—all wrapped with on-chart HUDs, a trade tracker, trap detection, and a lightweight AI selector to adapt entries to live conditions.
Who it’s for (and where it thrives)
LES 2.1 is tuned for the morning session and stocks that can really move:
Top Pre-Market and Day Gainers
Highest or Top Volume on Day
Float: ≤ 40M
Price: ≤ $20
Volume: ≥ 5× the 30-day average (intraday RVOL pop)
Catalyst: ideally a fresh news driver / “day gainer”
Timeframe: 1-minute (designed & tuned for 1m). Works on 2m/3m/5m, but wasn’t specifically designed for them (see tuning tips below).
Evolution at a glance
LES 1.0 — The foundation
Squeeze engine using Bollinger vs. Keltner to detect expansion (“squeeze OFF”).
EMA – ATR offset line (dynamic risk anchor) with EMA as trend filter.
RSI guard for overheated moves.
RVOL confirmation using average volume lookback.
WaveTrend (WT + Signal) to time entries/exits.
Basic buy/sell logic + simple on-chart labels.
LES 2.0 — Quality-of-life & timing upgrades
AI Lindsay assistant v2 (periodic / contextual commentary).
VWAP Slope Detector with sensitivity modes (Loose → Very Strict).
Manual defaults pre-tuned for ease of use.
Double-EMA trailing (visual take-profit helper).
Improved on-chart commentary and Trade Summary (10:30am snapshot).
AI Version Suggester (V1/V2/V3 modes) with stickiness/cooldown.
Trap Detector Pro (sweep, VWAP reject, blow-off, etc.) with scored severity.
Trade Tracker HUD + Entry Checklist HUD.
Overall stability & UX polish.
LES 2.1 — Flow-based exit superpowers
New Flow Exit: integrates 1m Net Volume and 5m CVD-style pressure:
1m NetVol window (rolling sum of signed volume)
5m CVD window (downsampled, smoothed)
Debounce (consecutive red bars to avoid one-tick fakes)
Optional ATR Guard (only exit if the move is meaningful vs ATR)
Cooldown after a flow exit to avoid re-chop
Chart labels: “SELL (NV/CVD)” when flow triggers
Keeps you in good trends, but kicks you out when aggressive sellers actually show up.
How the engine works (plain English)
Market prep: We confirm trend & energy using EMA/ATR, RSI, RVOL, Squeeze OFF, and Price > VWAP.
Entry mode (V1/V2/V3):
V1 — Balanced trades (default “safe” behavior)
V2 — Fast trades (more aggressive when action heats up)
V3 — Trending trades (stricter; waits for strong slope & trend)
You can pick a version manually or let the AI Suggester switch modes based on slope/ADX/RVOL/acceleration (with a cooldown so it doesn’t flip-flop).
Entry timing: WaveTrend and squeeze momentum improve timing while VWAP slope avoids buying flat tape.
Risk anchor: The EMA – (ATR × Multiplier) “offset line” is your dynamic stop/line in the sand.
Exits:
Base exits (version-aware): WT crossback, momentum fade, price losing offsetLine or EMA.
Flow Exit (2.1): If 1m NetVol and 5m CVD both turn decisively red (with debounce and optional ATR guard), close—no arguing.
Entry rules (exactly what has to be true)
Buy (Core) — fires when all are true:
Not already in a trade
Close > EMA and Close > OffsetLine (offsetLine = EMA − ATR × Mult)
RVOL confirmed (meets dynamic RVOL multiplier)
RSI below the overbought ceiling (version-aware slack in V3)
Squeeze OFF (BBs expanded outside Keltner)
Price > VWAP (toggleable)
Extra for V3 (Trending trades):
VWAP slope gate passes (and, if set, VWAP must be green)
ADX strong (≥ 25 by design, ≥ 20 baseline)
Minimum slopePctPerBar met (default V3 expects ≥ 0.05%/bar)
AI Suggester (optional):
Scores V1/V2/V3 from conditions like ADX, VWAP slope, RVOL, intrabar acceleration, then locks a pick for aiSwitchCoolBars bars.
On-chart help:
Checklist HUD lights up ✅/❌ for each gate (EMA, ATR, RVOL, RSI, VWAP, Slope, etc.).
Trade Quality Rating (🌟x/10) appears on buy bars if enabled.
Exit rules (every sell condition)
Base sells (V1/V2):
WaveTrend crossback (signal crosses over WT) OR
Momentum fade (two darker squeeze momentum bars) OR
Close < OffsetLine OR Close < EMA
Base sells (V3):
Close < OffsetLine OR Close < EMA (trend-respecting; ignores WT/momentum so you’re not shaken out early)
Flow Exit (2.1, applies to all versions if enabled):
In trade AND Flow Exit enabled
1m NetVol window is red (and ≥ Min |NetVol|)
5m CVD (smoothed) is red

The indicator automatically:
Plots the ORB box based on user-defined NY session times (default: 9:30–9:45 EST).
Generates long/short signals when price breaks the ORB range, with optional conditions like:
Candle close outside the range
Retest confirmation (with tolerance %)
Volume spike validation
EMA trend alignment
Higher-timeframe EMA slope alignment
Cooldown filters to prevent over-trading
Integrates Fibonacci retracements & extensions from the ORB box for confluence levels.
Includes Golden Pocket (0.5–0.618) retests for precision entries
Risk/Reward visualization — automatically plots stop loss and take profit levels based on user-defined R:R or fixed % levels.
Debug mode overlay to show why a signal is blocked (e.g., low volume, ORB too small, too late, wrong trend).
This tool is built for scalpers, day traders, and 0DTE options traders who need both flexibility and discipline.

ORB Pro w/ Filters + Debug + ORB Fib + Golden Pocket + HTF Trend
A professional Opening Range Breakout (ORB) toolkit designed for intraday traders who want precision entries, risk-managed exits, and layered confirmation filters. Built for futures, stocks, and ETFs (e.g. NQ, ES, QQQ).
🔎 Core Logic
This script plots and trades breakouts from the Opening Range (9:30 – 9:45 NY time), then applies multiple confirmation filters before signaling a LONG or SHORT setup:
ORB Box: Defines the first 15 minutes of market activity (customizable).
Breakout Candle Confirmation: Requires a candle close outside the ORB box.
Retest Confirmation: Price must retest the ORB edge within tolerance before triggering.
Trend Filter: EMA confirmation to align trades with intraday trend.
Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter: Optional (default: 45-minute EMA) to avoid countertrend trades.
Fibonacci Levels: Auto-plot retracements (0.236 → 0.786) for confluence and trade management.
Golden Pocket Retest (Optional): Adds an extra precision filter at 0.5–0.618 retracement.
⚙️ Default Settings (Optimized for Beginners)
These are the pre-configured inputs so traders can load and trade immediately:
ORB Session: 9:30 – 9:45 NY
✅ Require Candle Close Outside ORB
✅ Require Retest Confirmation (tolerance 0.333%)
❌ Require Volume Spike (off by default, optional toggle)
✅ Require EMA Trend (50 EMA intraday)
✅ Require Higher-TF Trend (45m, EMA 21)
❌ Higher-TF EMA slope required (off)
✅ Cooldown Between Signals (10 bars)
ORB % Range: Min 0.3%, Max 0.5%
Max Minutes After ORB: 180
✅ ORB-based Risk/Reward Stops & Targets (default: 2R)
Stop Loss: 0.5% (if not R:R)
Take Profit: 1% (if not R:R)
✅ Debug Overlay (shows why signals are blocked)
✅ Fibonacci Retracements Plotted
❌ Extensions (off by default, toggle if needed)
✅ Golden Pocket Retest available, tolerance 0.11 (optional)
📈 Signals
Green "LONG" Label: Valid breakout above ORB with trend confirmation.
Red "SHORT" Label: Valid breakdown below ORB with trend confirmation.
Blocked (debug text): Signal suppressed by filters (low volume, too late, no retest, etc.).
🎯 Trade Management
Default R:R is 2:1 (stop at ORB edge, TP projected).
For manual trading (e.g., Webull, IBKR), you can use the plotted TP/SL boxes directly.
Fibonacci + Golden Pocket give additional profit-taking levels and retest filters.
✅ Best Practices
Use 15m chart for main ORB entries.
Confirm direction with HTF trend (45m EMA by default).
Avoid signals blocked by “Low Volume” or “Too Late” (debug helps identify).
Adjust ORB % range for asset volatility (tight for ETFs, wider for futures).
🚀 Why ORB Pro?
This is more than a standard ORB indicator. It’s a professional breakout system with filters designed to avoid false breakouts, automatically handle risk/reward, and guide traders with clear visual signals. Perfect for both systematic day traders and discretionary scalpers who want structure and confidence.
👉 Recommended starting point:
Load defaults → trade the 15m ORB with EMA + HTF filters on → let the script handle retests and stop/target placement.
Universal Breakout Strategy [KedArc Quant]Description:
A flexible breakout framework where you can test different logics (Prev Day, Bollinger, Volume, ATR, EMA Trend, RSI Confirm, Candle Confirm, Time Filter) under one system.
Choose your breakout mode, and the strategy will handle entries, exits, and optional risk management (ATR stops, take-profits, daily loss guard, cooldowns).
An on-chart info table shows live mode values (like Prev High/Low, Bollinger levels, RSI, etc.) plus P&L stats for quick analysis.
Use it to compare which breakout style works best on your instrument and timeframe, whether intraday, swing, or positional trading
🔑 Why it’s useful
* Flexibility: Switch between breakout strategies without loading different indicators.
* Clarity: On-chart info table displays current mode, relevant indicator levels, and live strategy P&L stats.
* Testing efficiency: Quickly A/B test different breakout styles under the same backtest environment.
* Transparency: Every trade is rule-based and displayed with entry/exit markers.
🚀 How it helps traders
* Lets you experiment with breakout strategies quickly without loading multiple scripts.
* Helps identify which breakout method fits your instrument & timeframe.
* Gives clear on-chart visual + statistical feedback for confident decision-making.
⚙️ Input Configuration
* Breakout Mode → choose which strategy to test:
* *Prev Day* → breakouts of yesterday’s High/Low.

* *ATR Stop* → Wide range breakout using ATR filter.
* *Time Filter* → Breakouts inside defined session hours.
* *EMA Trend* → Breakouts only in EMA fast > slow alignment.
* *RSI Confirm* → Breakouts with RSI confirmation (e.g. >55 for longs).
* *Candle Confirm* → Breakouts validated by bullish/bearish candle.
* Lookback / ATR / Bollinger inputs → adjust sensitivity.
* Intrabar mode → option to evaluate breakouts using bar highs/lows instead of closes.
* Table options → show/hide info table, show/hide P&L stats, choose corner placement.
📈 Entry & Exit Logic
* Entry → occurs when breakout condition of chosen mode is met.
* Exit → default exits via opposite signals or optional stop/target if enabled.
* Session filter → optional auto-flat at session end.
* P&L management → optional daily loss guard, cooldown between trades, and ATR-based stop/take profit.
❓ FAQ — Choosing the best setup
Q: Which strategy should I use for which chart?
* *Prev Day Breakouts*: Best on indices, FX, and liquid futures with strong daily levels.
* *Bollinger*: Works well in range-bound environments, or crypto pairs with volatility compression.
* *Volume*: Good on equities where breakout strength is tied to volume spikes.
* *ATR Stop*: Suits volatile instruments (commodities, crypto).
* *EMA Trend*: Useful in trending markets (stocks, indices).
* *RSI Confirm*: Adds momentum filter, better for swing trades.
* *Candle Confirm*: Ideal for scalpers needing visual confirmation.
* *Time Filter*: For intraday traders who want signals only in high-liquidity sessions.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
* Intraday traders → 5m to 15m (Time Filter, Candle Confirm).
* Swing traders → 1H to 4H (EMA Trend, RSI Confirm, ATR Stop).
* Position traders → Daily (Prev Day, Bollinger).
* Breakout
A trade entry condition triggered when price crosses above a resistance level (for longs) or below a support level (for shorts).
* Prev Day High/Low
Formula:
Prev High = High of (Day )
Prev Low = Low of (Day )
* Bollinger Bands
Formula:
Basis = SMA(Close, Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
Lower Band = Basis – (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
* Volume Confirmation
A breakout is only valid if:
Volume > SMA(Volume, Length)
* ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility.
Formula:
ATR = SMA(True Range, Length)
where True Range = max(High–Low, |High–Close |, |Low–Close |)
* EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
Weighted moving average giving more weight to recent prices.
Formula:
EMA = (Price × α) + (EMA × (1–α))
with α = 2 / (Length + 1)
* RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Momentum oscillator scaled 0–100.
Formula:
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Avg(Gain, Length) ÷ Avg(Loss, Length)
* Candle Confirmation
Bullish candle: Close > Open AND Close > Close
Bearish candle: Close < Open AND Close < Close
Win Rate (%)
Formula:
Win Rate = (Winning Trades ÷ Total Trades) × 100
* Average Trade P&L
Formula:
Avg Trade = Net Profit ÷ Total Trades
📊 Performance Notes
The Universal Breakout Strategy is designed as a framework rather than a single-asset optimized system. Results will vary depending on the chart, timeframe, and asset chosen.
On the current defaults (15-minute, INR-denominated example), the backtest produced 132 trades over the selected period. This provides a statistically sufficient sample size.
Win rate (~35%) is relatively low, but this is balanced by a positive reward-to-risk ratio (~1.8). In practice, a lower win rate with larger wins versus smaller losses is sustainable.
The average P&L per trade is close to breakeven under default settings. This is expected, as the strategy is not tuned for a single symbol but offered as a universal breakout framework.
Commissions (0.1%) and slippage (1 tick) are included in the simulation, ensuring realistic conditions.
Risk management is conservative, with order sizing set at 1 unit per trade. This avoids over-leveraging and keeps exposure well under the 5-10% equity risk guideline.
👉 Traders are encouraged to:
Experiment with inputs such as ATR period, breakout length, or Bollinger parameters.
Test across different timeframes and instruments (equities, futures, forex, crypto) to find optimal setups.
Combine with filters (trend direction, volatility regimes, or volume conditions) for further refinement.

Power Hour Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Power Hour Breakout tool helps traders identify key price levels from the Power Hour and spot breakouts from those levels easily. This tool features Power Hour extensions, Fibonacci levels, and session break marks for the trader's convenience.
🔶 USAGE
The Power Hour is defined as the last hour of the trading session and is set by default from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. New York time. During this period, volume and volatility enter the market. Traders using higher timeframes may use this period to enter or exit positions by placing MOC (Market on Close) orders.
This tool highlights the Power Hour and the top and bottom price levels. Each time prices break out from these levels, a signal is displayed on the chart.
We can use the Power Hour to gauge market sentiment:
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the Power Hour.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the Power Hour.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the Power Hour.
🔹 Displaying Power Hours and Breakouts
By default, all detected Power Hours are displayed. Traders can manually adjust this number by disabling the "Display All" parameter in the Settings panel.
Breakouts are displayed by default, too, but this feature can be disabled as well.
The chart above shows different configurations of these parameters.
🔹 Power Hour Extensions
Traders can use Power Hour extensions as potential targets for breakout signals.
In the settings panel, traders can select the percentage of the Power Hour price range to use for each extension. For example, 100% uses the full range, 200% uses the range twice, and so on.
As seen on the chart, traders can configure different percentages for the top and bottom extensions.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the Power Hour range to identify retracement opportunities and evaluate market movement strength. Each level can be enabled or disabled, as well as customized by level, color, and line style.
For example, as we can see on the chart, prices attempt to break out at the Power Hour top level, then retrace to the 0.618 Fibonacci level, and then rise to the 200% Power Hour top extension.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display Last X Power Hours: Select how many Power Hours to display or enable the Display All feature.
Power Hour (NY Time): Choose a custom Power Hour in New York time.
🔹 Breakouts
Breakouts: Enable or disable breakouts.
Bullish Breakout: Select color for bullish breakouts.
Bearish Breakout: Select color for bearish breakouts.
🔹 Extensions
Top Extension: Enable or disable the top extension and choose the percentage of Power Hour to use.
Bottom extension: Enable or disable the bottom extension and choose the percentage of Power Hour to use.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Display Fibonacci: Enable or disable Fibonacci levels.
Reverse: Reverse Fibonacci levels.
Levels, Colors & Style
Display Labels: Enable or disable labels and choose text size.
🔹 Style
Power Hour Colors
Extension Transparency: Choose the extension's transparency. 0 is solid, and 100 is fully transparent.
Session Breaks: Enable or disable session breaks.

If you do not need to trade automatically via MT5, the Trendlines Breakokuts Pro can also be used as an effective indicator in visual order management on TradingView charts, helps maintain discipline and good trading psychology (less Stress or FOMO)
Trendlines Breakouts Pro System User Guide
Step 1 - Draw trendline AB. Just click to select 2 points A, B on the chart
This is a straight line at the border of a chart pattern or support/resistance zone on the chart that you determine has high potential when it is broken, the price will have strong momentum and you will enter the order (Entry). The trendline AB can be a diagonal line or a horizontal line.
Step 2 - Entry Window: Set the time allowed for transactions
You can choose the earliest and latest time allowed for trading signals, called Entry Window. This means that the system will not allow trading outside the Entry Window. This option allows you to manage trading times as you wish, avoiding bad times for trading such as sideways, choppy, high volatility, news
Step 3 - Set up the input parameters for trading
You choose the direction you want to wait for trading: Wait Long (Buy), Wait Short (Sell), Turn Off, Hidden
You enter the ID of your PineConnector account if you want to trade automatically from TradingView to MT5

Initial Balance Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Initial Balance Breakout Signals help traders identify breakouts of the Initial Balance (IB) range.
The indicator includes automatic detection of IB or can use custom sessions, highlights top and bottom IB extensions, custom Fibonacci levels, and goes further with an IB forecast with two different modes.
🔶 USAGE
The initial balance is the price range made within the first hour of the trading session. It is an intraday concept based on the idea that high volume and volatility enter the market through institutional trading at the start of the session, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
The initial balance is useful for gauging market sentiment, or, in other words, the relationship between buyers and sellers.
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the IB range.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the IB range.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the IB range.
The initial balance high and low are important levels that many traders use to gauge sentiment. There are two main ideas behind trading around the IB range.
IB Extreme Breakout: When the price breaks and holds the IB high or low, there is a high probability that the price will continue in that direction.
IB Extreme Rejection: When the price tries to break those levels but fails, there is a high probability that it will reach the opposite IB extreme.
This indicator is a complete Initial Balance toolset with custom sessions, breakout signals, IB extensions, Fibonacci retracements, and an IB forecast. All of these features will be explained in the following sections.
🔹 Custom Sessions and Signals
By default, sessions for Initial Balance and breakout signals are in Auto mode. This means that Initial Balance takes the first hour of the trading session and shows breakout signals for the rest of the session.
With this option, traders can use the tool for open range trading, making it highly versatile. The concept behind open range (OR) is the same as that of initial balance (IB), but in OR, the range is determined by the first minute, three or five minutes, or up to the first 30 minutes of the trading session.
As shown in the image above, the top chart uses the Auto feature for the IB and Breakouts sessions. The bottom chart has the Auto feature disabled to use custom sessions for both parameters. In this case, the first three minutes of the trading session are used, turning the tool into an Open Range trading indicator.
This chart shows another example of using custom sessions to display overnight NASDAQ futures sessions.
The left chart shows a custom session from the Tokyo open to the London open, and the right chart shows a custom session from the London open to the New York open.
The chart shows both the Asian and European sessions, their top and bottom extremes, and the breakout signals from those extremes.
🔹 Initial Balance Extensions
Traders can easily extend both extremes of the Initial Balance to display their preferred targets for breakouts. Enable or disable any of them and set the IB percentage to use for the extension.
As the chart shows, the percentage selected on the settings panel directly affects the displayed levels.
Setting 25 means the tool will use a quarter of the detected initial balance range for extensions beyond the IB extremes. Setting 100 means the full IB range will be used.
Traders can use these extensions as targets for breakout signals.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the IB range to trade retracements and assess the strength of market movements. Each level can be enabled or disabled and customized by level, color, and line style.
As we can see on the chart, after the IB was completed, prices were unable to fall below the 0.236 Fibonacci level. This indicates significant bullish pressure, so it is expected that prices will rise.
Traders can use these levels as guidelines to assess the strength of the side trying to penetrate the IB. In this case, the sellers were unable to move the market beyond the first level.
🔹 Initial Balance Forecast
The tool features two different forecasting methods for the current IB. By default, it takes the average of the last ten values and applies a multiplier of one.
IB Against Previous Open: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the previous session.
Filter by current day of the week: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the current session for the same day of the week.
This feature allows traders to see the difference between the current IB and the average of the last IBs. It makes it very easy to interpret: if the current IB is higher than the average, buyers are in control; if it is lower than the average, sellers are in control.
For example, on the left side of the chart, we can see that the last day was very bullish because the IB was completely above the forecasted value. This is the IB mean of the last ten trading days.
On the right, we can see that on Monday, September 15, the IB traded slightly higher but within the forecasted value of the IB mean of the last ten Mondays. In this case, it is within expectations.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display Last X IBs: Select how many IBs to display.
Initial Balance: Choose a custom session or enable the Auto feature.
Breakouts: Enable or disable breakouts. Choose custom session or enable the Auto feature.

- IB Against Previous Open: Calculates the average difference between the IB high and low and the previous day's IB open price.
- Filter by Current Day of Week: Calculates the average difference between the IB high and low and the IB open price for the same day of the week.
Forecast Memory: The number of data points used to calculate the average.
Forecast Multiplier: This multiplier will be applied to the average. Bigger numbers will result in wider predicted ranges.
Forecast Colors: Choose from a variety of colors.
Forecast Style: Choose a line style.

SMC BOS - Structure Breaks & Median Continuation ProjectionsThis tool shows what usually happens after a Break of Structure (BOS).
It scans past BOS events on your chart, finds the ones most similar to the latest break (using ATR to filter by volatility), and then plots the median continuation path.
Optional percentile bands (P10–P90) display the possible range of outcomes around the median.
Key features:
• Automatic detection of bullish and bearish BOS events
• Library of past BOS with adjustable size and spacing
• ATR-based similarity and recency weighting
• Median continuation projections with optional percentile bands
• Customizable colors, signals, and stats table
• Works on any market and timeframe
Use cases:
• See how price typically behaves after a BOS
• Support SMC analysis with data-driven projections
• Improve trade planning by visualizing likely continuations
• Apply across crypto, forex, stocks, and futures
Originality:
Instead of only marking BOS, this script learns from history and projects forward the median path of the most similar past cases, adjusted for volatility. It turns BOS signals into practical continuation scenarios.
Instructions:
Add the indicator to your chart. When a BOS is detected, the projection is drawn automatically.
Use the settings to adjust the library, ATR weighting, projection style, percentile bands, and the display of signals or stats.

ORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — fixedORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — Listing copy (EN)
What it is
A clean, non-repainting intraday tool that fuses the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with a session-anchored VWAP filter for London and New York. It highlights only the higher-quality breakouts (above/below session VWAP), adds an optional retest confirmation, and scores each signal with an intuitive Confidence metric (0–100).
Why it works
• ORB provides the day’s first actionable structure (range high/low).
• Session VWAP filters “cheap” breaks and favors flows aligned with session value.
• Optional retest reduces first-tick whipsaws.
• Confidence blends breakout depth (vs ATR), VWAP slope and band distance.
Key visuals
• LDN/NY OR High/Low (line break style) + optional OR boxes.
• Active Session VWAP (resets per signal window; falls back to daily VWAP outside).
• Optional VWAP bands (stdev or %).
• Session shading (London/NY windows).
• Signal markers (LDN BUY/SELL, NY BUY/SELL) fired with cooldown.
Signals
• London Long / Short: Break of LDN OR High/Low ± ATR buffer, aligned with VWAP side.
• NY Long / Short: Same logic during NY window.
• Retest (optional): Requires a tag back to the OR level ± tolerance before confirmation.
• Confidence: 0–100; gate via Min Confidence (default 55).
Inputs that matter
• Open Range Length (min): Default 15.
• London/NY times & timezones.
• ATR buffer & retest tolerance.
• Bands mode: Stdev (with lookback) or % (e.g., 1%).
• Signal cooldown: Avoids clutter on fast moves.
Non-repaint policy
• OR lines build within fixed time windows using the current bar’s timestamp.
• VWAP is cumulative within the session window; no lookahead.
• All ta.crossover/ta.crossunder are precomputed every bar (no conditional execution).
• Signals are based on live bar values, not future bars.
⸻
Quick start (examples)
1) EURUSD, London momentum
• Chart: 5m or 15m.
• OR: 15 min starting 08:00 Europe/London.
• Signals: Use defaults; keep ATR buffer = 0.2 and Retest = ON, Min Confidence ≥ 55.
• Play:
• BUY when price breaks LDN OR High + buffer and stays above VWAP; retest confirms.
• Trail behind VWAP or band #1; partials into band #2.
2) NAS100, New York breakout & run
• Chart: 5m.
• NY window: 09:30 America/New_York, OR = 15 min.
• Retest OFF on high momentum days; Min Confidence ≥ 60.
• Use band mode Stdev, bandLen=50, show ±1/±2.
• Momentum continuation: add on pullbacks that hold above VWAP after the breakout.
3) XAUUSD, London fake & VWAP fade
• Chart: 5m.
• Keep Retest ON; accept only shorts that break OR Low but retest fails back under VWAP.
• Confidence gate ≥ 50 to allow more mean-reversion setups.
⸻
Pro tips
• Adjust ATR buffer to the instrument: FX 0.15–0.25, indices 0.20–0.35, metals 0.20–0.30.
• Retest ON for choppy conditions; OFF for news momentum.
• Use VWAP bands: take partials at ±1; stretch targets at ±2/±3.
• Session timezones are explicit (London/New York). Ensure they match your instrument’s behavior.
• Pair with a higher-TF bias (e.g., 1H/4H trend) for directional filtering.
⸻
Alerts (ready to use)
• ORB+SVWAP — LDN Long, LDN Short, NY Long, NY Short
(Respect your cooldown; alerts fire only after confirmation and confidence gate.)
⸻
Known limits & notes
• Designed for intraday. On 1D+ charts, session windows compress.
• If your broker session differs from London/NY clocks on a holiday, adjust input times.
• Session-anchored VWAP uses the script’s signal window, not exchange sessions, by design.

The “Nirvana True Duel” strategy focuses on trading only meaningful breakouts and avoiding unnecessary noise.
Nirvana: A calm, patient state — waiting for the right opportunity without emotional trading.
True Duel: When the signal appears, enter decisively and let the market reveal the outcome.
In short: “Ignore market noise, trade only high-probability breakouts.”
🧩 Strategy Components
Trend Filter (EMA Ribbon): Stay aligned with the main market trend.
Volatility Squeeze (Bollinger Band): Detect volatility contraction & expansion to catch explosive moves early.
Volume Confirmation (OBV): Filter out false breakouts by confirming with volume flow.
⚔️ Entry & Exit Conditions
Long Setup:
20 EMA > 50 EMA (uptrend)
BB width breaks out from recent squeeze
Close > Upper Bollinger Band
OBV shows positive flow
Short Setup:
20 EMA < 50 EMA (downtrend)
BB width breaks out from recent squeeze
Close < Lower Bollinger Band
OBV shows negative flow
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: ATR × 1.5 below/above entry
Take Profit: 1.5–2× stop distance, partial take-profit allowed
Time Stop: Automatically closes after max bars held (e.g. 8h on 5m chart)
✅ Strengths
Triple Filtering: Trend + Volatility + Volume → fewer false signals
Mechanical & Backtestable: Ideal for objective trading & performance validation

Luxy Momentum, Trend and Breakout Indicators Suit V4ABOUT THIS INDICATOR
Purpose: Help momentum/trend/breakout traders see the market’s “regime” at a glance, get clean flip signals, manage risk with clear SL/TP rails, and scan a small symbol list for fresh flips.
________________________________________________________________________
Why this exists
Most tools do one thing (only a moving average, only a VWAP, only a “flip” line). This indicator stitches together the pieces momentum & breakout traders actually use day-to-day, so you can:
Read trend bias fast (multi-TF dashboard).
Act on ATR-based flips (UT core).
Filter noise (volume/ADX/RSI/Donchian).
Place/maintain SL/TP rails visually.
Scan up to 15 symbols for fresh flips and alert them.
No magic, no promises — just practical structure designed to reduce second-guessing.
________________________________________________________________________
What’s unique here
UT Flip Signals: An ATR trailing stop that flips when price convincingly crosses it.
Modular Moving Averages: Choose EMA/SMA/WMA/VWMA/RMA/HMA independently for Fast/Medium/Long. Logic respects your choices (crosses, bias rows, floors).
VWAP with Weighted Bands: Session or anchored to Week/Month/Quarter/Year/Earnings/Dividends/Splits, with Standard-Deviation or % bands.
ZLSMA (optional): Zero-lag flavor of LSMA as a smooth trend line (plot-only).
Supertrend with Dynamic Thickness: Optional overlay where line width scales with normalized strength for quick “how strong?” reading.
Base LONG/SHORT with Filters: You can require Relative Volume, ADX/DI alignment, RSI pullback windows, and/or Donchian breaks.
Multi-Time Frame Bias Dashboard: Rows for MA cross, Price>Long MA, VWAP, MACD, Supertrend, ZLSMA, RSI-in-zone, ADX≥min across 1m→4h with AVG column.
UT Watchlist Scanner: Scan up to 15 symbols. Shows recent flips for a user-set TTL minutes, with optional one-per-day alert throttling.
________________________________________________________________________
Quick start (3 minutes)
Pick your MA types . Simple baseline: Fast=EMA , Medium=EMA , Long=SMA(200) .
Decide on UT sensitivity : start with ATR Period 7–10 and Key 1.5–2.0 .
Tight markets → lower Key; choppy → higher Key.
Enable VWAP if you trade intraday; try Session anchor with 1×/2× bands.
Optionally switch on filters : Relative Volume, ADX/DI, RSI pullback, or Donchian break.
Open the Bias Table to see agreement across timeframes.
Use Suggested Stop Loss + optional Trailing Stop , plus TP R-levels for exits.
________________________________________________________________________
Inputs overview
Moving Averages: Choose type per lane (Fast/Medium/Long) + lengths. Used for crosses, bias table and SL floors.
UT Bot: ATR-based trailing stop that flips on cross; optional %-change, swing and 2-bar delay filters.
VWAP: Session or higher-level anchors; optional bands by Std-Dev or Percentage.
ZLSMA: Plot-only zero-lag LSMA line (trend context).
Supertrend: Standard ST with optional dynamic-thickness overlay and neutral windows after a flip.
Filters: Relative Volume, ADX/DI, RSI Pullback window, Donchian breakout.
Risk Tools: Suggested Stop Loss rails (layered floors/ceilings), optional trailing stop (Chandelier ATR or Follow UT), and Take Profit R-levels (1, 1.5, 2, 3).
Bias Dashboard: Toggle rows/position/size, background color, and which metrics to show across Time Frames.
UT Watchlist Scanner: Up to 15 symbols; dedupes; TTL minutes; one-per-day throttle.
________________________________________________________________________
How to read the chart
Green UT bars/Buy label: Price above UT stop with a fresh flip (and optional filters passed). Think “momentum turning up.”
Orange UT bars/Sell label: Price below UT stop with a fresh flip. Think “momentum turning down.”
Bias rows: More green cells across TFs = broader alignment; the AVG column summarizes each row.
Supertrend width: Thicker = stronger move (normalized by ATR).
VWAP & bands: Price relative to VWAP shows mean-reversion vs. trend. Bands help gauge stretch.
________________________________________________________________________
Alerts you can set
UT Bot — Buy/Sell: Fires when a flip occurs on the chart symbol/TF.
Base Long/Short: MA cross plus any filters you enabled.
Watchlist UT table status change: Notifies when the watchlist table receives new hits on the current bar. You can also enable “runtime alert” inside the scanner and/or throttle to one per symbol per day.
________________________________________________________________________
FAQ (short)
Does this repaint? No — signals are computed without lookahead. Flips confirm on the bar that crosses the UT stop under your active filters.
Can I use Heikin Ashi visuals? You can plot HA candles on your chart if you want, but the script’s logic stays on regular candles to respect publishing rules.
Why is my scanner empty? Check TTL minutes, list formatting, and that each symbol is valid for your data plan.

Tristan's Box: Pre-Market Range Breakout + RetestMarket Context:
This is designed for U.S. stocks, focusing on pre-market price action (4:00–9:30 AM ET) to identify key support/resistance levels before the regular session opens.
Built for 1 min and 5 min timelines, and is intended for day trading / scalping.
Core Idea:
Pre-market range (high/low) often acts as a magnet for price during regular hours.
The first breakout outside this range signals potential strong momentum in that direction.
Retest of the breakout level confirms whether the breakout is valid, avoiding false moves.
Step-by-Step Logic:
Pre-Market Range Identification:
Track high and low from 4:00–9:30 AM ET.
Draw a box spanning this range for visual reference and calculation.
Breakout Detection:
When the first candle closes above the pre-market high → long breakout.
When the first candle closes below the pre-market low → short breakout.
The first breakout candle is highlighted with a “YOLO” label for visual confirmation.
Retest Confirmation:
Identify the first candle whose wick touches the pre-market box (high touches top for short, low touches bottom for long).
Wait for the next candle: if it closes outside the box, it confirms the breakout.
Entry Execution:
Long entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch above the pre-market high.
Short entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch below the pre-market low.
Only the first valid entry per direction per day is taken.
Visuals & Alerts:
Box represents pre-market high/low.
Top/bottom box border lines show the pre-market high / low levels cleanly.
BUY/SELL markers are pinned to the confirming candle.
Added a "YOLO" marker on breakout candle.
Alert conditions trigger when a breakout is confirmed by the retest.
Strategy Type:
Momentum breakout strategy with confirmation retest.
Combines pre-market structure and risk-managed entries.
Designed to filter false breakouts by requiring confirmation on the candle after the wick-touch.
In short, it’s a pre-market breakout momentum strategy: it uses the pre-market high/low as reference, waits for a breakout, and then enters only after a confirmation retest, reducing the chance of entering on a false spike.
Always use good risk management.
TradeX ORB SniperTradeX ORB Sniper — Multi-Range Opening Breakout Framework
This invite-only script is a structured Opening Range Breakout (ORB) tool designed to map price interaction with multiple predefined ranges. It is not a collection of generic settings — all versions and filters are coded in-house and connected through a shared logic engine.
Purpose & Core Design
The ORB Sniper provides four internally coded modes, each referencing a distinct opening range. Depending on market context, ranges may include:
Pre-market session range
5-minute opening range
15-minute opening range
Volume-adaptive range variations
Each mode ensures consistent logic across timeframes, allowing traders to analyze breakout dynamics in a rule-based framework.
Breakout Highlighting
When price closes above or below the active range, the script highlights that candle in gold/yellow (“Get Ready Candle”). This highlight is informational only, serving as a visual marker of when price has left the defined range.
Zone Projection & Box Mapping
To help visualize breakout dynamics, the script plots risk and reward boxes:
Risk Box — initial region mapped from the selected range
Reward Box — projected continuation area based on range displacement
These elements are configurable, giving traders flexibility in how the breakout context is displayed.
Custom Visual Inputs
Users can adjust all visual components directly from the settings panel:
ORB Mode — toggle between V1–V4 range types
Risk Box Color — customize the risk region’s display
Reward Box Color — adjust continuation box visuals
Get Ready Candle Color — select the breakout candle highlight color
Inputs in Status Line — optional summary display at the top of the chart
This ensures the framework is adaptable to any chart theme or personal preference.
Development Process
The ORB Sniper was first modeled in Python, where volume, volatility, and technical variations were looped through to refine range definitions. The most effective rules were then coded into Pine Script, creating a streamlined, repeatable breakout framework.
Disclaimer
This is an original, closed-source TradeX Labs tool. It references known concepts (opening ranges, volume dynamics) within a proprietary rule-based framework. It is intended for visual analysis only and does not provide trade signals or guarantee results. Default settings are for illustration; traders should adjust configuration to their instrument and timeframe.
Turtle Body Setup by TradeTech AnalysisOverview
Turtle Body Setup is a minimalist, rules-based pattern detector built around a simple idea: a sequence of shrinking candle bodies (compression) often precedes a directional expansion (breakout). The script identifies those compression phases and then flags the first candle whose body expands significantly beyond the recent average, with polarity taken from the candle’s direction.
This is not a mash-up of many public indicators. It focuses on one original micro-structure concept: strict body-contraction → body-expansion . The logic is fully described below so traders and moderators can understand what it does and how to use it.
How it Works
1. Compression detection (body contraction):
• Over a user-defined window Compression Lookback (N), the script counts strictly shrinking candle bodies (|close-open|).
• When the count ≥ Min Shrinking Candles, we mark the market as in compression.
2. Expansion / Breakout qualification:
• Compute avgBody = SMA(body, N).
• A candle is a breakout when current body > avgBody × Breakout Body Multiplier.
• Polarity: green (close>open) → Bullish breakout; red (close
Smart Money Price Action ProSmart Money Price Action Pro - Smart Money and Price Action Dynamic Toolkit
The Smart Money Price Action Pro is designed to bring together multiple layers of market analysis into a single, cohesive framework, combining trend identification and consolidation detection in an actionable format. While individual indicators can provide useful insights, they often work in isolation. This toolkit integrates market flow detection, range analytics, and adaptive visualization into one system, allowing traders to see the bigger picture without piecing together multiple disconnected tools.
Building on principles from institutional trading behaviors, the toolkit gives traders a clearer picture of where “smart money” may be entering or exiting the market. Its design emphasizes confluence: signals from multiple independent modules overlap to create higher conviction setups, offering a structured edge when planning entries, exits, and risk levels.
At its core, the toolkit addresses the duality of market conditions: trending versus ranging. By offering a combination of trend-following signals and contrarian insights, it helps traders operate with a deeper understanding of market structure. While it provides actionable signals and visual guidance, it is intended as an assistive system, helping traders make more informed decisions rather than serving as a single source of truth.
Key Modules
1. Smart Money Signal Module
The Smart Money Signal Module identifies potential institutional activity by analyzing price swings and momentum shifts. Using configurable swing detection, it highlights potential reversal or continuation zones, expressed as adaptive zones around key market levels.
Signals are augmented with trend-colored candle overlays, offering immediate guidance on market bias. Bullish and bearish zones are clearly marked, while continuation and reversal markers help distinguish between trend shifts and market noise.
At its core, the engine applies swing detection combined with a sensitivity filter to track directional momentum across recent bars. This allows it to pinpoint bullish pivots (where downside momentum fades and strength returns) and bearish pivots (where upside momentum collapses). Once a pivot is confirmed, the system draws flow lines that map the breakout and classify it as either continuation or reversal, depending on broader market bias.
Momentum zones are then plotted to show areas where buyers stepped in with strength or sellers forced price lower. These levels extend forward dynamically, shifting in real time as new data forms. Zones change color the moment they break, visually confirming whether market structure has held or failed. Gradient shading highlights periods of extreme pressure, giving traders a clear visual of when momentum surges into overbought or oversold territory.
Instead of simply showing trend direction, this module also maps accumulation and distribution zones tied to institutional flows. When combined with the Range Module, these zones become more meaningful — for example, when institutional accumulation aligns with a breakout from consolidation.
Practical Use: Traders can use these signals to align trades with institutional flows. For example, entering a long position near a bullish accumulation zone or managing risk when bearish distribution areas form. By combining these insights with higher timeframe analysis, traders can filter out false signals and improve decision-making.
2. Range Detection Module
The Range Detection engine continuously monitors price action to flag when markets transition into consolidation phases. Ranges are defined not just by flat price action, but by a measurable contraction in volatility, repeated touches of boundary levels, and the clustering of traded volume around a central equilibrium point.
Once a valid range is identified, the system assigns a compression strength score (0–100). This score reflects how cleanly defined and structurally sound the consolidation is—higher scores indicate tighter boundaries and stronger evidence of accumulation or distribution.
Breakout tendencies are modeled dynamically. The system updates a forward-looking bias by incorporating:
Boundary time distribution – how often price presses against upper vs. lower edges
Historical breakout patterns – probability benchmarks derived from structurally similar ranges
Volume skew – whether traded volume leans toward buyers or sellers inside the range
Momentum alignment – auxiliary filters such as slope-based oscillators that indicate when energy is building for a directional move
The result is a live breakout forecast that evolves bar by bar as the range matures. Each active range carries a visual strength meter plotted above the consolidation zone, quantifying both compression and breakout potential in real time.
The module also supports range memory, preserving completed consolidations even after a breakout. This allows traders to review the prior structure for post-analysis or to track whether price respects the boundaries of the old range as support or resistance going forward.
Practical Use : Traders can use these ranges to anticipate breakout direction or step aside when conditions are unclear. A tight consolidation near a bullish zone, for instance, often signals a potential long opportunity, while overlapping bearish flows warn of false breakouts.
Integrated Workflow
The strength of the toolkit lies in its synergy. Each module is effective on its own, but the real advantage comes when their signals align.
A typical workflow may include:
Assessing the market trend using the Smart Money Signal Module and its trend-colored overlays
Identifying consolidation and breakout zones with the Range Detection Module
Watching for confluences: institutional accumulation aligning with range compression, or dashboard bias matching local setups
Executing trades with structured confidence, using these layered confirmations rather than relying on a single trigger
This integrated workflow streamlines decision-making and avoids the conflicting signals that can occur when combining unrelated indicators.
Additional Features
Adaptive Visualization : Dynamic zones and trend overlays adjust to volatility, keeping charts clear and focused
Analytics Dashboard : A compact summary panel shows active zones, bullish vs bearish flow counts, and current bias, giving context at a glance
Instead of simply adding more signals, the dashboard provides a meta-layer of analysis — context, bias, and flow strength — helping traders manage risk and stay aligned with broader market conditions.
Use Cases
Trend Confluence : Entering trades in line with prevailing smart money flows while filtering out counter-trend setups
Breakout Trading : Using the Range Detection Module to anticipate breakout zones and confirming direction with institutional flow signals
Contrarian Reversal Trades : Targeting accumulation/distribution zones where both modules indicate potential reversals
Each use case demonstrates how layered confluence creates clarity and conviction, making the toolkit a strong complement to other forms of technical analysis.
Conclusion
The Smart Money Signals Toolkit simplifies complex market analysis into actionable, visually intuitive insights. While standalone indicators provide value, this toolkit goes further by combining smart money flows, range detection, adaptive zones, and dashboard analytics into one cohesive system.
It doesn’t just generate buy/sell markers — it shows why a setup matters, where it is occurring, and how it aligns with broader conditions. This allows traders to operate with greater clarity, structure, and discipline.
Risk Disclaimer : This toolkit and its features are for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All suggested use cases are theoretical and should be applied with proper risk management.
