Options Strategy V1.3📈 Options Strategy V1.3 — EMA Crossover + RSI + ATR + Opening Range
Overview:
This strategy is designed for short-term directional trades on large-cap stocks or ETFs, especially when trading options. It combines classic trend-following signals with momentum confirmation, volatility-based risk management, and session timing filters to help identify high-probability entries with predefined stop-loss and profit targets.
🔍 Strategy Components:
EMA Crossover (Fast/Slow)
Entry signals are triggered by the crossover of a short EMA above or below a long EMA — a traditional trend-following method to detect shifts in momentum.
RSI Filter
RSI confirms the signal by avoiding entries in overbought/oversold zones unless certain momentum conditions are met.
Long entry requires RSI ≥ Long Threshold
Short entry requires RSI ≤ Short Threshold
ATR-Based SL & TP
Stop-loss is set dynamically as a multiple of ATR below (long) or above (short) the entry price.
Take-profit is placed as a ratio (TP/SL) of the stop distance, ensuring consistent reward/risk structure.
Opening Range Filter (Optional)
If enabled, the strategy only triggers trades after price breaks out of the 09:30–09:45 EST range, ensuring participation in directional moves.
Session Filters
No trades from 04:00 to 09:30 and from 16:00 to 20:00 EST, avoiding low-liquidity periods.
All open trades are closed at 15:55 EST, to avoid overnight risk or expiration issues for options.
⚙️ Built-in Presets:
You can choose one of the built-in ticker-specific presets for optimal conditions:
Ticker EMAs RSI (Long/Short) ATR SL×ATR TP/SL
SPY 8/28 56 / 26 14 1.4× 4.0×

Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur
🛠️ Settings Breakdown
🔹 Session Settings
Range Session: Set your preferred window (e.g., 0930–0945). Can be premarket, first 30 mins, or any custom time.
Time zone: Use "America/New York" for EST (default) or change to "GMT+0" for international traders.
🔹 Breakout Settings
Bullish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts above the range.
Bearish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts below the range.
This prevents repeated alerts once breakout has been confirmed.
🔹 Display Settings
Show Background Fill: Fills area between high/low of the range for easier visual analysis.
Show Breakout Signals: Triangle markers plotted on the chart when breakouts happen.
Only Show Today’s Range: Keeps the chart clean by showing only the most current day’s range.
🔹 Color Settings
Range High/Low Line Colors: Choose any color for clarity.
Range Fill Color: Customize the highlight area for your chart style.
📊 Chart Features
Range High/Low Lines: Automatically plotted after range session ends.
Visual Fill Box: Optional background shading between the opening range.
Triangle Breakout Markers: Appear at the breakout candle.
Alerts: Can be used with TradingView’s alert system to notify you of breakouts in real-time.
🔔 Alerts
Two alert conditions are built in:
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks above the high of the range.
Bearish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks below the low of the range.
Example Alert Message:
📈 “Bullish Breakout above Open Range on AAPL!”
To activate:
Click “🔔 Alerts” on TradingView.
Set condition to this script.
Choose “ORB Breakout Up” or “ORB Breakout Down”.
Choose alert frequency and notification method.

OPR Asia-New-York [Elykia]This Pine Script indicator, called "OPR Asia-New-York ", displays time-based boxes corresponding to two specific trading periods known as OPR (Opening Price Range):
🎯 Purpose of the Indicator:
To visualize two key market time windows (morning and afternoon) as extended boxes, helping with technical analysis around opening ranges.
🕒 Two sessions displayed as boxes:
🔹 Morning OPR:
Default: from 09:00 to 09:15 (configurable)
The box extends until 10:30.
It captures the highest and lowest candle within this interval.
🔸 Afternoon OPR:
Default: from 15:30 to 15:45
The box extends until 17:30.
Follows the same logic as the morning session.
⚙️ Dashboard Options:
Enable or disable the morning or afternoon box individually
Select the timezone (e.g., GMT+2)
Customize all colors (morning/afternoon boxes, median line)
Set your own start/end/extension times for each session
📦 Each box includes:
A colored rectangle showing the price range (high/low)
A dotted median line between the high and low
The box and line extend until the end time defined
🧠 Usefulness for Traders:
Identify liquidity zones or consolidation areas
Trade setups like liquidity grabs, breakouts, or fakeouts around the OPR
Align with ICT methods or scalping strategies based on session behavior
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with Fib RetracementOverview
“ORB with Fib Retracement” is a Pine Script indicator that anchors a full Fibonacci framework to the first minutes of the trading day (the opening-range breakout, or ORB).
After the ORB window closes the script:
Locks-in that session’s high and low.
Calculates a complete ladder of Fibonacci retracement levels between them (0 → 100 %).
Projects symmetric extension levels above and below the range (±1.618, ±2.618, ±3.618, ±4.618 by default).
Sub-divides every extension slice with additional 23.6 %, 38.2 %, 50 %, 61.8 % and 78.6 % mid-lines so each “zone” has its own inner fib grid.
Plots the whole structure and—optionally—extends every line into the future for ongoing reference.
**Session time / timezone** – Defines the ORB window (defaults 09:30–09:45 EST).
**Show All Fib Levels** – Toggles every retracement and extension line on or off.
**Show Extended Lines** – Draws dotted, extend-right projections of every level.
**Color group** – Assigns colors to buy-side (green), sell-side (red), and internal fibs (gray).
**Extension value inputs** – Allows custom +/- 1.618 to 4.618 fib levels for personalized projection zones.
Trap Candle (Trend H4 + RSI Filter)🔍 Trap Candle (Trend H4 + RSI Filter)
Description:
The Trap Candle indicator is designed to identify a specific and powerful two-candle price action pattern that often signals a false breakout followed by a strong reversal. It combines pure price action with two objective filters to increase signal quality and trend alignment.
📊 Pattern Logic:
Bullish Trap: The current candle breaks the previous candle’s low, but closes above its high (and is bullish).
Bearish Trap: The current candle breaks the previous candle’s high, but closes below its low (and is bearish).
This pattern often reveals institutional traps or stop hunts before directional movement.
🧠 Trend Filter (H4):
Ensures long signals occur only when the H4 close is higher than the previous H4 close (uptrend).
Ensures short signals occur only in a H4 downtrend.
Designed to align intraday entries (M15, H1) with higher timeframe momentum.
💪 RSI Confirmation:
Includes a configurable RSI filter on the current timeframe.
Only long signals are shown when RSI is above a user-defined threshold (e.g. 55).
Only short signals are shown when RSI is below a user-defined threshold (e.g. 45).
⚙️ Key Features:
Full customization of RSI period and thresholds.
Clean, visual signal plotting on the chart (with “Trap L” or “Trap S” labels).
Built-in alerts for both long and short trap candle setups.
Perfect for traders who want to trade smart reversals with trend and momentum confirmation.
✅ Recommended Timeframes:
M15 and H1 (entry)
Uses H4 for trend bias
If you’re looking to filter out noise and spot only the highest quality reversal setups, the Trap Candle (Trend H4 + RSI Filter) is a solid tool for any price action-based strategy.

CirclesCircles - Support & Resistance Levels
Overview
This indicator plots horizontal support and resistance levels based on W.D. Gann's mathematical approach of dividing 360 degrees by 2 and by 3. These divisions create natural price magnetism points that have historically acted as significant support and resistance levels across all markets and timeframes.
How It Works
360÷2 Levels (Blue): 5.63, 11.25, 33.75, 56.25, 78.75, etc.
360÷3 Levels (Red): 7.5, 15, 30, 37.5, 52.5, 60, 75, etc.
Both Levels (Yellow): 22.5, 45, 67.5, 90, 112.5, 135, 157.5, 180 - These are "doubly strong" as they appear in both calculations
Key Features
Auto-Scaling: Automatically adjusts for any price range (from $0.001 altcoins to $100K+ Bitcoin)
Manual Scaling: Choose from 0.001x to 1000x multipliers or set custom values
Full Customization: Colors, line widths, styles (solid/dashed/dotted)
Historical View: Option to show all levels regardless of current price
Clean Display: Adjustable label positioning and line extensions
Use Cases
Identify potential reversal zones before price reaches them
Set profit targets and stop losses at key mathematical levels
Confirm breakouts when price decisively moves through major levels
Works on all timeframes and all markets (stocks, crypto, forex, commodities)
Gann Theory
W.D. Gann believed that markets move in mathematical harmony based on geometric angles and time cycles. These 360-degree divisions represent natural balance points where price often finds support or resistance, making them valuable for both short-term trading and long-term analysis.
Perfect for traders who use:
Support/Resistance trading
Fibonacci levels
Pivot points
Mathematical/geometric analysis
Multi-timeframe analysis
Gann Support and Resistance LevelsThis indicator plots dynamic Gann Degree Levels as potential support and resistance zones around the current market price. You can fully customize the Gann degree step (e.g., 45°, 30°, 90°), the number of levels above and below the price, and the price movement per degree to fine-tune the levels to your strategy.
Key Features:
✅ Dynamic levels update automatically with the live price
✅ Adjustable degree intervals (Gann steps)
✅ User control over how many levels to display above and below
✅ Fully customizable label size, label color, and text color for mobile-friendly visibility
✅ Clean visual design for easy chart analysis
How to Use:
Gann levels can act as potential support and resistance zones.
Watch for price reactions at major degrees like 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°.
Can be combined with other technical tools like price action, trendlines, or Gann fans for deeper analysis.
📌 This tool is perfect for traders using Gann theory, grid-based strategies, or those looking to enhance their visual trading setups with structured levels.
CandelaCharts - 1st Presented FVG 📝 Overview
The ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap refers to the first FVG that forms after the market opens at 9:30 AM New York local time. In a sideways market, it often acts as a catalyst for price movement in either direction, while in trending conditions, it tends to support and reinforce the prevailing trend.
This indicator automatically identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms after the New York session opens at 9:30 AM local time. Based on concepts taught by Inner Circle Trader (ICT), the 1st Presented FVG is a key institutional price imbalance that often sets the tone for the trading day.
📦 Features
Customize FVG session time (e.g. 09:30 – 10:00)
Show/hide session dividers
FVG visibility filter (e.g. Bullish / Bearish)

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

BTC Dominance Zones (For Altseason)Overview
The "BTC Dominance Zones (For Altseason)" indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders navigate the different phases of the altcoin market cycle by tracking Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D).
It provides clear, color-coded zones directly on the BTC.D chart, offering an intuitive roadmap for the progression of alt season.
Purpose & Problem Solved
Many traders often miss altcoin rotations or get caught at market tops due to emotional decision-making or a lack of a clear framework. This indicator aims to solve that problem by providing an objective, historically informed guide based on Bitcoin Dominance, helping users to prepare before the market makes its decisive moves. It distils complex market dynamics into easily digestible sections.
Key Features & Components
Color-Coded Horizontal Zones: The indicator draws fixed horizontal bands on the BTC.D chart, each representing a distinct phase of the altcoin market cycle.
Descriptive Labels: Each zone is clearly labeled with its strategic meaning (e.g., "Alts are dead," "Danger Zone") and the corresponding BTC.D percentage range, positioned to the right of the price action for clarity.
Consistent Aesthetics: All text within the labels is rendered in white for optimal visibility across the colored zones.
Symbol Restriction: The indicator includes an automatic check to ensure it only draws its visuals when applied specifically to the CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D chart. If applied to another chart, it displays a helpful message and remains invisible to prevent confusion.
Methodology & Interpretation
The indicator's methodology is based on the historical behavior of Bitcoin Dominance during various market cycles, particularly the 2021 bull run. Each zone provides a specific interpretation for altcoin strategy:
Grey Zone (BTC.D 60-70%+): "Alts Are Dead"
Interpretation: When Bitcoin Dominance is in this grey zone (typically above 60%), Bitcoin is king, and capital remains concentrated in BTC. This indicates that alt season is largely inactive or "dead". This phase is generally not conducive for aggressive altcoin trading.
Blue Zone (BTC.D 55-60%): "Alt Season Loading"
Interpretation: As BTC.D drops into this blue zone (below 60%), it signals that the market is "heating up" for altcoins. This is the time to start planning and executing your initial positions in high-conviction large-cap and strong narrative plays, as capital begins to look for more risk.
Green Zone (BTC.D 50-55%): "Alt Season Underway"
Interpretation: Entering this green zone (below 55%) signifies that "real momentum" is building, and alt season is genuinely "underway". Money is actively flowing from Ethereum into large and mid-cap altcoins. If you've positioned correctly, your portfolio should be showing strong gains in this phase.
Orange Zone (BTC.D 45-50%): "Alt Season Ending"
Interpretation: As BTC.D dips into this orange zone (below 50%), it suggests that altcoin dominance is reaching its peak, indicating the "ending" phase of alt season. While euphoria might be high, this is a critical warning zone to prepare for profit-taking, as it's a phase of "peak risk".
Red Zone (BTC.D Below 45%): "Danger Zone - Alts Overheated"
Interpretation: This red zone (below 45%) is the most critical "DANGER ZONE". It historically marks the point of maximum froth and risk, where altcoins are overheated. This is the decisive signal to aggressively take profits, de-risk, and exit positions to preserve your capital before a potential sharp correction. Historically, dominance has gone as low as 39-40% in this phase.
How to Use
Open TradingView and search for the BTC.D symbol to load the Bitcoin Dominance chart and view the indicator.
Double click the indicator to access settings.
Inputs/Settings
The indicator's zone boundaries are set to historically relevant levels for consistency with the Alt Season Blueprint strategy. However, the colors of each zone are fully customizable through the indicator's settings, allowing users to personalize the visual appearance to their preference. You can access these color options in the indicator's "Settings" menu once it's added to your chart.

Yelober - Intraday ETF Dashboard# How to Read the Yelober Intraday ETF Dashboard
The Intraday ETF Dashboard provides a powerful at-a-glance view of sector performance and trading opportunities. Here's how to interpret and use the information:
## Basic Dashboard Reading
### Color-Coding System
- **Green values**: Positive performance or bullish signals
- **Red values**: Negative performance or bearish signals
- **Symbol colors**: Green = buy signal, Red = sell signal, Gray = neutral
### Example 1: Identifying Strong Sectors
If you see XLF (Financials) with:
- Day % showing +2.65% (green background)
- Symbol in green color
- RSI of 58 (not overbought)
**Interpretation**: Financial sector is showing strength and momentum without being overextended. Consider long positions in top financial stocks like JPM or BAC.
### Example 2: Spotting Weakness
If you see XLK (Technology) with:
- Day % showing -1.20% (red background)
- Week % showing -3.50% (red background)
- Symbol in red color
- RSI of 35 (approaching oversold)
**Interpretation**: Technology sector is showing weakness across multiple timeframes. Consider avoiding tech stocks or taking short positions in names like MSFT or AAPL, but be cautious as the low RSI suggests a bounce may be coming.
## Advanced Interpretations
### Example 3: Sector Rotation Detection
If you observe:
- XLE (Energy) showing +2.10% while XLK (Technology) showing -1.50%
- Both sectors' Week % values showing the opposite trend
**Interpretation**: This suggests money is rotating out of technology into energy stocks. This rotation pattern is actionable - consider reducing tech exposure and increasing energy positions (look at XOM, CVX in the Top Stocks column).
### Example 4: RSI Divergences
If you see XLU (Utilities) with:
- Day % showing +0.50% (small positive)
- RSI showing 72 (overbought, red background)
**Interpretation**: Despite positive performance, the high RSI suggests the sector is overextended. This divergence between price and indicator suggests caution - the rally in utilities may be running out of steam.
### Example 5: Relative Strength in Weak Markets
If SPY shows -1.20% but XLP (Consumer Staples) shows +0.30%:
**Interpretation**: Consumer staples are showing defensive strength during market weakness. This is typical risk-off behavior. Consider defensive positions in stocks like PG, KO, or PEP for protection.
## Practical Application Scenarios
### Day Trading Setup
1. **Morning Market Assessment**:
- Check which sectors are green pre-market
- Focus on sectors with Day % > 1% and RSI between 40-70
- Identify 2-3 stocks from the Top Stocks column of the strongest sector
2. **Midday Reversal Hunting**:
- Look for sectors with symbol color changing from red to green
- Confirm with RSI moving away from extremes
- Trade stocks from that sector showing similar pattern changes
### Swing Trading Application
1. **Trend Following**:
- Identify sectors with positive Day % and Week %
- Look for RSI values in uptrend but not overbought (45-65)
- Enter positions in top stocks from these sectors, using daily charts for confirmation
2. **Contrarian Setups**:
- Find sectors with deeply negative Day % but RSI < 30
- Look for divergence (price making new lows but RSI rising)
- Consider counter-trend positions in the stronger stocks within these oversold sectors
## Reading Special Conditions
### Example 6: Risk-Off Environment
If you observe:
- XLP (Consumer Staples) and XLU (Utilities) both green
- XLK (Technology) and XLY (Consumer Disc) both red
- SPY slightly negative
**Interpretation**: Classic risk-off rotation. Investors are moving to safety. Consider defensive positioning and reducing exposure to growth sectors.
### Example 7: Market Breadth Analysis
Count the number of sectors in green vs. red:
- If 7+ sectors are green: Strong bullish breadth, consider aggressive long positioning
- If 7+ sectors are red: Weak market breadth, consider defensive positioning or shorts
- If evenly split: Market is indecisive, focus on specific sector strength instead of broad market exposure
Remember that this dashboard is most effective when combined with broader market analysis and appropriate risk management strategies.
LRHA Trend Shift DetectorLRHA Trend Shift Detector (TSD)
The LRHA Trend Shift Detector is an advanced momentum exhaustion indicator that identifies potential trend reversals and changes by analyzing Linear Regression Heikin Ashi (LRHA) candle patterns. TSD focuses on detecting when strong directional moves begin to lose momentum.
🔬 Methodology
The indicator employs a three-stage detection process:
LRHA Calculation: Applies linear regression smoothing to Heikin Ashi candles, creating ultra-smooth trend-following candles that filter out market noise
Extended Move Detection: Identifies sustained directional moves by counting consecutive bullish or bearish LRHA candles
Momentum Exhaustion Analysis: Monitors for significant changes in candle size compared to recent averages
When an extended move shows clear signs of momentum exhaustion, the indicator signals a potential trend shift with red dots plotted above or below your candlesticks.
⚙️ Parameters
Core Settings
LRHA Length (11): Linear regression period for smoothing calculations. Lower values = more responsive, higher values = smoother trends.
Minimum Trend Bars (4): Consecutive candles required to establish an "extended move." Higher number detects longer term trend changes.
Exhaustion Bars (3): Number of consecutively smaller candles needed to signal exhaustion. Lower is more sensitive.
Size Reduction Threshold (40%): Percentage decrease in candle size to qualify as "exhaustion." Lower is more sensitive.
Trend Trading
Pullback Entries: Identify exhaustion in counter-trend moves for trend continuation
Exit Strategy: Recognize when main trend momentum is fading
Position Sizing: Reduce size when seeing exhaustion in your direction
🎛️ Optimization Tips
For More Signals (Aggressive)
- Decrease LRHA Length (7-9)
- Reduce Minimum Trend Bars (2-3)
- Lower Size Reduction Threshold (25-35%)
For Higher Quality (Conservative)
- Increase LRHA Length (13-18)
- Raise Minimum Trend Bars (5-6)
- Higher Size Reduction Threshold (45-55%)
⚠️ Important Notes⚠️
- **Not a Complete Strategy**: Use as confluence with other analysis methods
- **Market Context Matters**: Consider overall trend direction and key support/resistance levels
- **Risk Management Essential**: Always use proper position sizing and stop losses
- **Backtest First**: Optimize parameters for your specific trading style and instruments

atr stop loss for double SMA v6Strategy Name
atr stop loss for double SMA v6
Credit: This v6 update is based on Daveatt’s “BEST ATR Stop Multiple Strategy.”
Core Logic
Entry: Go long when the 15-period SMA crosses above the 45-period SMA; go short on the inverse cross.
Stop-Loss: On entry, compute ATR(14)×2.0 and set a fixed stop at entry ± that amount. Stop remains static until hit.
Trend Tracking: Uses barssince() to ensure only one active long or short position; stop is only active while that trend persists.
Visualization
Plots fast/slow SMA lines in teal/orange.
On each entry bar, displays a label showing “ATR value” and “ATR×multiple” positioned at the 30-bar low (long) or high (short).
Draws an “×” at the stop-price level in green (long) or red (short) while the position is open.
Execution Settings
Initial Capital: $100 000, Size = 100 shares per trade.
Commission: 0.075% per trade.
Pyramiding: 1.
Calculations: Only on bar close (no intra-bar ticks).
Usage Notes
Static ATR stop adapts to volatility but does not trail.
Ideal for trending, liquid markets (stocks, futures, FX).
Adjust SMA lengths or ATR multiple for faster/slower signals.
X OROverview
Designed to plot hourly opening ranges (ORs) on an intraday chart. It primarily serves as a trading tool for assessing market direction and potential trading opportunities by analyzing price action relative to key OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) levels within each hourly range.
The code provided is for each hour sessions from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a complete session-based framework. In addition there is the RTH open range
Purpose
The core purpose of this indicator is to:
✅ Define each hourly range (based on the session’s opening bar) by recording the high and low of that range.
✅ Extend this range into the following bars for visual reference — serving as dynamic support and resistance zones.
✅ Monitor price action relative to each hourly OR, helping traders evaluate market direction and structure trades using concepts like:
Breakouts above/below the OR high/low.
Rejections or consolidations within the OR.
Continuation or reversal signals tied to each OR.
Key Features
The script marks the first bar of the session as the OR session start.
During this bar, it initializes:
Opening price
Session high
Session low
These levels form the initial range.
🔹 Dynamic Range Tracking
Throughout the one-minute OR session:
The highest and lowest prices are updated in real time, capturing intra-hour volatility.
A visual background box is drawn to highlight the OR range on the chart.
🔹 Range Extension
The script defines an extended session period after the initial OR (e.g., 2:00 AM-2:45 AM for the 2:00 AM session).
During this extension period:
The box persists on the chart, providing a contextual zone that traders can use as a dynamic support/resistance area.
🔹 Visual Representation
Transparent colored boxes highlight each session’s OR visually on the chart.
These boxes help traders easily identify whether price is trading:
Inside the OR
Breaking above the high (potential bullish continuation)
Breaking below the low (potential bearish continuation)
Application in Trading
🔍 Trading the Opening Range Breakout
Traders often use the OR high and low as breakout triggers. For example:
A price break above the OR high may signal bullish momentum.
A break below the OR low may signal bearish momentum.
⚖️ Support and Resistance
Even if breakouts fail, the OR can act as a pivot zone — offering areas for:
Stop placements
Target levels
Entry confirmations for fade trades or mean reversion strategies.
🕒 Session Awareness
By defining each hour’s OR individually (from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM), traders can:
Analyze price behavior within each session.
Recognize when liquidity or volatility increases (e.g. around overlapping sessions like London open or New York open).
Summary
This Pine Script indicator provides a powerful framework for visualizing and trading hourly opening ranges. It enhances intraday analysis by:
Structuring price action within hourly boxes.
Highlighting key price levels relative to OHLC concepts.
Helping traders make more informed decisions by assessing price behavior around these critical ranges.
FVG Premium [no1x]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for identifying, visualizing, and tracking Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across three distinct timeframes (current chart, a user-defined Medium Timeframe - MTF, and a user-defined High Timeframe - HTF). It is designed to offer traders enhanced insight into FVG dynamics through detailed state monitoring (formation, partial fill, full mitigation, midline touch), extensive visual customization for FVG representation, and a rich alert system for timely notifications on FVG-related events.
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator is built upon the core concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their significance in price action analysis, offering a multi-layered approach to their detection and interpretation across different timeframes.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also known as an imbalance, represents a range in price delivery where one side of the market (buying or selling) was more aggressive, leaving an inefficiency or an "imbalance" in the price action. This concept is prominently featured within Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies, where such gaps are often interpreted as footprints left by "smart money" due to rapid, forceful price movements. These methodologies suggest that price may later revisit these FVG zones to rebalance a prior inefficiency or to seek liquidity before continuing its path. These gaps are typically identified by a three-bar pattern:
Bullish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong upward move. The FVG is the space created between the high of the first candle (bottom of FVG) and the low of the third candle (top of FVG). This indicates a strong upward impulsive move.
Bearish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong downward move. The FVG is the space created between the low of the first candle (top of FVG) and the high of the third candle (bottom of FVG). This indicates a strong downward impulsive move.
FVGs are often watched by traders as potential areas where price might return to "rebalance" or find support/resistance.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
The indicator extends FVG detection beyond the current chart's timeframe (Low Timeframe - LTF) to two higher user-defined timeframes: Medium Timeframe (MTF) and High Timeframe (HTF). This allows traders to:
Identify FVGs that might be significant on a broader market structure.
Observe how FVGs from different timeframes align or interact.
Gain a more comprehensive perspective on potential support and resistance zones.
FVG State and Lifecycle Management
The indicator actively tracks the lifecycle of each detected FVG:
Formation : The initial identification of an FVG.
Partial Fill (Entry) : When price enters but does not completely pass through the FVG. The indicator updates the "current" top/bottom of the FVG to reflect the filled portion.
Midline (Equilibrium) Touch : When price touches the 50% level of the FVG.
Full Mitigation : When price completely trades through the FVG, effectively "filling" or "rebalancing" the gap. The indicator records the mitigation time.
This state tracking is crucial for understanding how price interacts with these zones.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
FVGs can be optionally classified as "Large FVGs" (LV) if their size (top to bottom range) exceeds a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) for that FVG's timeframe. This helps distinguish FVGs that are significantly larger relative to recent volatility.
Visual Customization and Information Delivery
A key concept is providing extensive control over how FVGs are displayed. This control is achieved through a centralized set of visual parameters within the indicator, allowing users to configure numerous aspects (colors, line styles, visibility of boxes, midlines, mitigation lines, labels, etc.) for each timeframe. Additionally, an on-chart information panel summarizes the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVG levels for each active timeframe, providing a quick glance at key price points.
█ FEATURES
This indicator offers a rich set of features designed to provide a highly customizable and comprehensive Fair Value Gap (FVG) analysis experience. Users can tailor the FVG detection, visual representation, and alerting mechanisms across three distinct timeframes: the current chart (Low Timeframe - LTF), a user-defined Medium Timeframe (MTF), and a user-defined High Timeframe (HTF).
Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection and Display
The core strength of this indicator lies in its ability to identify and display FVGs from not only the current chart's timeframe (LTF) but also from two higher, user-selectable timeframes (MTF and HTF).
Timeframe Selection: Users can specify the exact MTF (e.g., "60", "240") and HTF (e.g., "D", "W") through dedicated inputs in the "MTF (Medium Timeframe)" and "HTF (High Timeframe)" settings groups. The visibility of FVGs from these higher timeframes can be toggled independently using the "Show MTF FVGs" and "Show HTF FVGs" checkboxes.
Consistent Detection Logic: The FVG detection logic, based on the classic three-bar imbalance pattern detailed in the 'Concepts' section, is applied consistently across all selected timeframes (LTF, MTF, HTF)
Timeframe-Specific Visuals: Each timeframe's FVGs (LTF, MTF, HTF) can be customized with unique colors for bullish/bearish states and their mitigated counterparts. This allows for easy visual differentiation of FVGs originating from different market perspectives.
Comprehensive FVG Visualization Options
The indicator provides extensive control over how FVGs are visually represented on the chart for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF).
FVG Boxes:
Visibility: Main FVG boxes can be shown or hidden per timeframe using the "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF), "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) inputs.
Color Customization: Colors for bullish, bearish, active, and mitigated FVG boxes (including Large FVGs, if classified) are fully customizable for each timeframe.
Box Extension & Length: FVG boxes can either be extended to the right indefinitely ("Extend Boxes Right") or set to a fixed length in bars ("Short Box Length" or "Box Length" equivalent inputs).
Box Labels: Optional labels can display the FVG's timeframe and fill percentage on the box. These labels are configurable for all timeframes (LTF, MTF, and HTF). Please note: If FVGs are positioned very close to each other on the chart, their respective labels may overlap. This can potentially lead to visual clutter, and it is a known behavior in the current version of the indicator.
Box Borders: Visibility, width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and color of FVG box borders are customizable per timeframe.
Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ):
Visibility: The 50% level (midline or EQ) of FVGs can be shown or hidden for each timeframe.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the midline are customizable per timeframe. The indicator tracks if this midline has been touched by price.
Mitigation Lines:
Visibility: Mitigation lines (representing the FVG's opening level that needs to be breached for full mitigation) can be shown or hidden for each timeframe. If shown, these lines are always extended to the right.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the mitigation line are customizable per timeframe.
Mitigation Line Labels: Optional price labels can be displayed on mitigation lines, with a customizable horizontal bar offset for positioning. For optimal label placement, the following horizontal bar offsets are recommended: 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF.
Persistence After Mitigation: Users can choose to keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated, with a distinct color for such lines. Importantly, this option is only effective if the general setting 'Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs' is disabled, as otherwise, the entire FVG and its lines will be removed upon mitigation.
FVG State Management and Behavior
The indicator tracks and visually responds to changes in FVG states.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: This option, typically found in the indicator's general settings, allows users to automatically remove all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once price has fully mitigated it. This helps maintain chart clarity by focusing on active FVGs.
Partial Fill Visualization: When price enters an FVG, the indicator offers a dynamic visual representation: the portion of the FVG that has been filled is shown as a "mitigated box" (typically with a distinct color), while the original FVG box shrinks to clearly highlight the remaining, unfilled portion. This two-part display provides an immediate visual cue about how much of the FVG's imbalance has been addressed and what potential remains within the gap.
Visual Filtering by ATR Proximity: To help users focus on the most relevant price action, FVGs can be dynamically hidden if they are located further from the current price than a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). This behavior is controlled by the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" input; setting this to zero disables the filter entirely, ensuring all detected FVGs remain visible regardless of their proximity to price.
Alternative Usage Example: Mitigation Lines as Key Support/Resistance Levels
For traders preferring a minimalist chart focused on key Fair Value Gap (FVG) levels, the indicator's visualization settings can be customized to display only FVG mitigation lines. This approach leverages these lines as potential support and resistance zones, reflecting areas where price might revisit to address imbalances.
To configure this view:
Disable FVG Boxes: Turn off "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF) or "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) for the desired timeframes.
Hide Midlines: Disable the visibility of the 50% FVG Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ).
Ensure Mitigation Lines are Visible: Keep "Mitigation Lines" enabled.
Retain All Mitigation Lines:
Disable the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option in the general settings.
Enable the feature to "keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated". This ensures lines from all FVGs (active or fully mitigated) remain on the chart, which is only effective if "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" is disabled.
This setup offers:
A Decluttered Chart: Focuses solely on the FVG opening levels.
Precise S/R Zones: Treats mitigation lines as specific points for potential price reactions.
Historical Level Analysis: Includes lines from past, fully mitigated FVGs for a comprehensive view of significant price levels.
For enhanced usability with this focused view, consider these optional additions:
The on-chart Information Panel can be activated to display a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Mitigation Line Labels can also be activated for clear price level identification. A customizable horizontal bar offset is available for positioning these labels; for example, offsets of 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF can be effective.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
This feature allows for distinguishing FVGs based on their size relative to market volatility.
Enable Classification: Users can enable "Classify FVG (Large FVG)" to identify FVGs that are significantly larger than average.
ATR-Based Threshold: An FVG is classified as "Large" if its height (price range) is greater than or equal to the Average True Range (ATR) of its timeframe multiplied by a user-defined "Large FVG Threshold (ATR Multiple)". The ATR period for this calculation is also configurable.
Dedicated Colors: Large FVGs (both bullish/bearish and active/mitigated) can be assigned unique colors, making them easily distinguishable on the chart.
Panel Icon: Large FVGs are marked with a special icon in the Info Panel.
Information Panel
An on-chart panel provides a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Visibility and Position: The panel can be shown/hidden and positioned in any of the nine standard locations on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Middle Center).
Content: It displays the price levels of the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVGs for LTF, MTF (if active), and HTF (if active). It also indicates if these nearest FVGs are Large FVGs (if classification is enabled) using a selectable icon.
Styling: Text size, border color, header background/text colors, default text color, and "N/A" cell background color are customizable.
Highlighting: Background and text colors for the cells displaying the overall nearest bullish and bearish FVG levels (across all active timeframes) can be customized to draw attention to the most proximate FVG.
Comprehensive Alert System
The indicator offers a granular alert system for various FVG-related events, configurable for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF) independently. Users can enable alerts for:
New FVG Formation: Separate alerts for new bullish and new bearish FVG formations.
FVG Entry/Partial Fill: Separate alerts for price entering a bullish FVG or a bearish FVG.
FVG Full Mitigation: Separate alerts for full mitigation of bullish and bearish FVGs.
FVG Midline (EQ) Touch: Separate alerts for price touching the midline of a bullish or bearish FVG.
Alert messages are detailed, providing information such as the timeframe, FVG type (bull/bear, Large FVG), relevant price levels, and timestamps.
█ NOTES
This section provides additional information regarding the indicator's usage, performance considerations, and potential interactions with the TradingView platform. Understanding these points can help users optimize their experience and troubleshoot effectively.
Performance and Resource Management
Maximum FVGs to Track : The "Max FVGs to Track" input (defaulting to 25) limits the number of FVG objects processed for each category (e.g., LTF Bullish, MTF Bearish). Increasing this value significantly can impact performance due to more objects being iterated over and potentially drawn, especially when multiple timeframes are active.
Drawing Object Limits : To manage performance, this script sets its own internal limits on the number of drawing objects it displays. While it allows for up to approximately 500 lines (max_lines_count=500) and 500 labels (max_labels_count=500), the number of FVG boxes is deliberately restricted to a maximum of 150 (max_boxes_count=150). This specific limit for boxes is a key performance consideration: displaying too many boxes can significantly slow down the indicator, and a very high number is often not essential for analysis. Enabling all visual elements for many FVGs across all three timeframes can cause the indicator to reach these internal limits, especially the stricter box limit
Optimization Strategies : To help you manage performance, reduce visual clutter, and avoid exceeding drawing limits when using this indicator, I recommend the following strategies:
Maintain or Lower FVG Tracking Count: The "Max FVGs to Track" input defaults to 25. I find this value generally sufficient for effective analysis and balanced performance. You can keep this default or consider reducing it further if you experience performance issues or prefer a less dense FVG display.
Utilize Proximity Filtering: I suggest activating the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" option (found under "General Settings") to display only those FVGs closer to the current price. From my experience, a value of 5 for the ATR multiple often provides a good starting point for balanced performance, but you should feel free to adjust this based on market volatility and your specific trading needs.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: I strongly recommend enabling the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option. This setting automatically removes all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once it has been fully mitigated by price. Doing so significantly reduces the number of active drawing objects, lessens computational load, and helps maintain chart clarity by focusing only on active, relevant FVGs.
Disable FVG Display for Unused Timeframes: If you are not actively monitoring certain higher timeframes (MTF or HTF) for FVG analysis, I advise disabling their display by unchecking "Show MTF FVGs" or "Show HTF FVGs" respectively. This can provide a significant performance boost.
Simplify Visual Elements: For active FVGs, consider hiding less critical visual elements if they are not essential for your specific analysis. This could include box labels, borders, or even entire FVG boxes if, for example, only the mitigation lines are of interest for a particular timeframe.
Settings Changes and Platform Limits : This indicator is comprehensive and involves numerous calculations and drawings. When multiple settings are changed rapidly in quick succession, it is possible, on occasion, for TradingView to issue a "Runtime error: modify_study_limit_exceeding" or similar. This can cause the indicator to temporarily stop updating or display errors.
Recommended Approach : When adjusting settings, it is advisable to wait a brief moment (a few seconds) after each significant change. This allows the indicator to reprocess and update on the chart before another change is made
Error Recovery : Should such a runtime error occur, making a minor, different adjustment in the settings (e.g., toggling a checkbox off and then on again) and waiting briefly will typically allow the indicator to recover and resume correct operation. This behavior is related to platform limitations when handling complex scripts with many inputs and drawing objects.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF/HTF) Data and Behavior
HTF FVG Confirmation is Essential: : For an FVG from a higher timeframe (MTF or HTF) to be identified and displayed on your current chart (LTF), the three-bar pattern forming the FVG on that higher timeframe must consist of fully closed bars. The indicator does not draw speculative FVGs based on incomplete/forming bars from higher timeframes.
Data Retrieval and LTF Processing: The indicator may use techniques like lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on for timely data retrieval from higher timeframes. However, the actual detection of an FVG occurs after all its constituent bars on the HTF have closed.
Appearance Timing on LTF (1 LTF Candle Delay): As a natural consequence of this, an FVG that is confirmed on an HTF (i.e., its third bar closes) will typically become visible on your LTF chart one LTF bar after its confirmation on the HTF.
Example: Assume an FVG forms on a 30-minute chart at 15:30 (i.e., with the close of the 30-minute bar that covers the 15:00-15:30 period). If you are monitoring this FVG on a 15-minute chart, the indicator will detect this newly formed 30-minute FVG while processing the data for the 15-minute bar that starts at 15:30 and closes at 15:45. Therefore, the 30-minute FVG will become visible on your 15-minute chart at the earliest by 15:45 (i.e., with the close of that relevant 15-minute LTF candle). This means the HTF FVG is reflected on the LTF chart with a delay equivalent to one LTF candle.
FVG Detection and Display Logic
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current chart timeframe (LTF) are detected based on barstate.isconfirmed. This means the three-bar pattern must be complete with closed bars before an FVG is identified. This confirmation method prevents FVGs from being prematurely identified on the forming bar.
Alerts
Alert Setup : To receive alerts from this indicator, you must first ensure you have enabled the specific alert conditions you are interested in within the indicator's own settings (see 'Comprehensive Alert System' under the 'FEATURES' section). Once configured, open TradingView's 'Create Alert' dialog. In the 'Condition' tab, select this indicator's name, and crucially, choose the 'Any alert() function call' option from the dropdown list. This setup allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on the precise event conditions you have activated in its settings
Alert Frequency : Alerts are designed to trigger once per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close) for the specific event.
User Interface (UI) Tips
Settings Group Icons: In the indicator settings menu, timeframe-specific groups are marked with star icons for easier navigation: 🌟 for LTF (Current Chart Timeframe), 🌟🌟 for MTF (Medium Timeframe), and 🌟🌟🌟 for HTF (High Timeframe).
Dependent Inputs: Some input settings are dependent on others being enabled. These dependencies are visually indicated in the settings menu using symbols like "↳" (dependent setting on the next line), "⟷" (mutually exclusive inline options), or "➜" (directly dependent inline option).
Settings Layout Overview: The indicator settings are organized into logical groups for ease of use. Key global display controls – such as toggles for MTF FVGs, HTF FVGs (along with their respective timeframe selectors), and the Information Panel – are conveniently located at the very top within the '⚙️ General Settings' group. This placement allows for quick access to frequently adjusted settings. Other sections provide detailed customization options for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF), specific FVG components, and alert configurations.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
This section provides a high-level overview of the FVG Premium indicator's internal architecture, data flow, and the interaction between its various library components. It is intended for Pine Script™ programmers who wish to understand the indicator's design, potentially extend its functionality, or learn from its structure.
System Architecture and Modular Design
The indicator is architected moduarly, leveraging several custom libraries to separate concerns and enhance code organization and reusability. Each library has a distinct responsibility:
FvgTypes: Serves as the foundational data definition layer. It defines core User-Defined Types (UDTs) like fvgObject (for storing all attributes of an FVG) and drawSettings (for visual configurations), along with enumerations like tfType.
CommonUtils: Provides utility functions for common tasks like mapping user string inputs (e.g., "Dashed" for line style) to their corresponding Pine Script™ constants (e.g., line.style_dashed) and formatting timeframe strings for display.
FvgCalculations: Contains the core logic for FVG detection (both LTF and MTF/HTF via requestMultiTFBarData), FVG classification (Large FVGs based on ATR), and checking FVG interactions with price (mitigation, partial fill).
FvgObject: Implements an object-oriented approach by attaching methods to the fvgObject UDT. These methods manage the entire visual lifecycle of an FVG on the chart, including drawing, updating based on state changes (e.g., mitigation), and deleting drawing objects. It's responsible for applying the visual configurations defined in drawSettings.
FvgPanel: Manages the creation and dynamic updates of the on-chart information panel, which displays key FVG levels.
The main indicator script acts as the orchestrator, initializing these libraries, managing user inputs, processing data flow between libraries, and handling the main event loop (bar updates) for FVG state management and alerts.
Core Data Flow and FVG Lifecycle Management
The general data flow and FVG lifecycle can be summarized as follows:
Input Processing: User inputs from the "Settings" dialog are read by the main indicator script. Visual style inputs (colors, line styles, etc.) are consolidated into a types.drawSettings object (defined in FvgTypes). Other inputs (timeframes, filter settings, alert toggles) control the behavior of different modules. CommonUtils assists in mapping some string inputs to Pine constants.
FVG Detection:
For the current chart timeframe (LTF), FvgCalculations.detectFvg() identifies potential FVGs based on bar patterns.
For MTF/HTF, the main indicator script calls FvgCalculations.requestMultiTFBarData() to fetch necessary bar data from higher timeframes, then FvgCalculations.detectMultiTFFvg() identifies FVGs.
Newly detected FVGs are instantiated as types.fvgObject and stored in arrays within the main script. These objects also undergo classification (e.g., Large FVG) by FvgCalculations.
State Update & Interaction: On each bar, the main indicator script iterates through active FVG objects to manage their state based on price interaction:
Initially, the main script calls FvgCalculations.fvgInteractionCheck() to efficiently determine if the current bar's price might be interacting with a given FVG.
If a potential interaction is flagged, the main script then invokes methods directly on the fvgObject instance (e.g., updateMitigation(), updatePartialFill(), checkMidlineTouch(), which are part of FvgObject).
These fvgObject methods are responsible for the detailed condition checking and the actual modification of the FVG's state. For instance, the updateMitigation() and updatePartialFill() methods internally utilize specific helper functions from FvgCalculations (like checkMitigation() and checkPartialMitigation()) to confirm the precise nature of the interaction before updating the fvgObject’s state fields (such as isMitigated, currentTop, currentBottom, or isMidlineTouched).
Visual Rendering:
The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method is called for each fvgObject. This method is central to drawing management; it creates, updates, or deletes chart drawings (boxes, lines, labels) based on the FVG's current state, its prev_* (previous bar state) fields for optimization, and the visual settings passed via the drawSettings object.
Information Panel Update: The main indicator script determines the nearest FVG levels, populates a panelData object (defined in FvgPanelLib), and calls FvgPanel.updatePanel() to refresh the on-chart display.
Alert Generation: Based on the updated FVG states and user-enabled alert settings, the main indicator script constructs and triggers alerts using Pine Script's alert() function."
Key Design Considerations
UDT-Centric Design: The fvgObject UDT is pivotal, acting as a stateful container for all information related to a single FVG. Most operations revolve around creating, updating, or querying these objects.
State Management: To optimize drawing updates and manage FVG lifecycles, fvgObject instances store their previous bar's state (e.g., prevIsVisible, prevCurrentTop). The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method uses this to determine if a redraw is necessary, minimizing redundant drawing calls.
Settings Object: A drawSettings object is populated once (or when inputs change) and passed to drawing functions. This avoids repeatedly reading numerous input() values on every bar or within loops, improving performance.
Dynamic Arrays for FVG Storage: Arrays are used to store collections of fvgObject instances, allowing for dynamic management (adding new FVGs, iterating for updates).
Enhanced Daily Sentiment & Auction Area Trading StrategyDetermine Daily Sentiment (Anchor Chart - Daily TF):
Analyze Yesterday's Daily Candle: Look at the previous day's daily candlestick (high, low, open, close). This is the "most important information."
Establish Bias: If yesterday's candle was bullish (closed higher), the bias for today is generally long (approx. 80% of the time). If bearish, the bias is short.
Moving Average Context: Note if the daily price is above or below its short-term moving average (e.g., 21 or 50 MA). This should align with the candle's bias (e.g., bullish daily candle above its MA).
Pre-Market & Opening Analysis (Information Gathering):
Check for Gaps: Observe if the market is gapping up or down in the pre-market session relative to yesterday's close. This provides an early clue to current sentiment.
Consider Overall Sentiment: Briefly factor in relevant news or overarching market sentiment (e.g., data releases, overall market feeling from yields, gold etc.). Trading Window: Focus primarily on trading within the first hour of the U.S. market open, as this is when volatility is typically highest, which the strategy relies on.
Setup 5-Minute Chart for Execution (Trading TF - 5-min):
Apply Moving Average: Use the same short-term moving average (e.g., 21 or 50 MA) as on the daily chart.
Seek Alignment (Crucial): The 5-minute chart's trend and price action relative to its MA must align with the daily chart's bias and MA relationship.
If Daily bias is LONG (price above daily MA), the 5-minute chart should also show price establishing itself above its 5-min MA, ideally with a similar "45-degree angle" uptrend.
If Daily bias is SHORT (price below daily MA), the 5-minute chart should also show price establishing itself below its 5-min MA, with a similar downtrend. If there's no clear alignment between the daily and 5-minute chart structure/MA, do not trade.
Identify the "Auction Area" (Value/Congestion) on the 5-Minute Chart:
This is a recent area of congestion, a small support/resistance flip, or where price has paused, consolidated, and is retesting, often near the 5-minute MA.
Uptrend (Long Bias): Look for a pullback (a small "V" shape dip) towards the 5-minute MA or a recent small resistance-turned-support area. This is the "auction retest" before a potential breakout higher.
Downtrend (Short Bias): Look for a pullback rally (an inverted "V" shape) towards the 5-minute MA or a recent small support-turned-resistance area.
MestreDoFOMO MACD VisualMasterDoFOMO MACD Visual
Description
MasterDoFOMO MACD Visual is a custom indicator that combines a unique approach to MACD with stochastic logic and simulated Renko-based direction signals. It is designed to help traders identify entry and exit opportunities based on market momentum and trend changes, with a clear and intuitive visualization.
How It Works
Stylized MACD with Stochastic: The indicator calculates the MACD using EMAs (exponential moving averages) normalized by stochastic logic. This is done by subtracting the lowest price (lowest low) from a defined period and dividing by the range between the highest and lowest price (highest high - lowest low). The result is a MACD that is more sensitive to market conditions, magnified by a factor of 10 for better visualization.
Signal Line: An EMA of the MACD is plotted as a signal line, allowing you to identify crossovers that indicate potential trend reversals or continuations.
Histogram: The difference between the MACD and the signal line is displayed as a histogram, with distinct colors (fuchsia for positive, purple for negative) to make momentum easier to read.
Simulated Renko Direction: Uses ATR (Average True Range) to calculate the size of Renko "bricks", generating signals of change in direction (bullish or bearish). These signals are displayed as arrows on the chart, helping to identify trend reversals.
Purpose
The indicator combines the sensitivity of the Stochastic MACD with the robustness of Renko signals to provide a versatile tool. It is ideal for traders looking to capture momentum-based market movements (using the MACD and histogram) while confirming trend changes with Renko signals. This combination reduces false signals and improves accuracy in volatile markets.
Settings
Stochastic Period (45): Sets the period for calculating the Stochastic range (highest high - lowest low).
Fast EMA Period (12): Period of the fast EMA used in the MACD.
Slow EMA Period (26): Period of the slow EMA used in the MACD.
Signal Line Period (9): Period of the EMA of the signal line.
Overbought/Oversold Levels (1.0/-1.0): Thresholds for identifying extreme conditions in the MACD.
ATR Period (14): Period for calculating the Renko brick size.
ATR Multiplier (1.0): Adjusts the Renko brick size.
Show Histogram: Enables/disables the histogram.
Show Renko Markers: Enables/disables the Renko direction arrows.
How to Use
MACD Crossovers: A MACD crossover above the signal line indicates potential bullishness, while below suggests bearishness.
Histogram: Fuchsia bars indicate bullish momentum; purple bars indicate bearish momentum.
Renko Arrows: Green arrows (upward triangle) signal a change to an uptrend; red arrows (downward triangle) signal a downtrend.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Use the levels to identify potential reversals when the MACD reaches extreme values.
Notes
The chart should be set up with this indicator in isolation for better clarity.
Adjust the periods and ATR multiplier according to the asset and timeframe used.
Use the built-in alerts ("Renko Up Signal" and "Renko Down Signal") to set up notifications of direction changes.
This indicator is ideal for day traders and swing traders who want a visually clear and functional tool for trading based on momentum and trends.
SOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only RunnerSOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only Runner
This is a trend-following strategy built for leveraged ETFs like SOXL, designed to ride high-momentum waves with minimal interference. Unlike most short-term scalping scripts, this model allows trades to develop over multiple days to even several months, capitalizing on the full power of extended directional moves — all without using a stop-loss.
🔍 How It Works
Entry Logic:
Price is above the 200 EMA (long-term trend confirmation)
Supertrend is bullish (momentum confirmation)
ATR is rising (volatility expansion)
Volume is above its 20-bar average (liquidity filter)
Price is outside a small buffer zone from the 200 EMA (to avoid whipsaws)
Trades are restricted to market hours only (9 AM to 2 PM EST)
Cooldown of 15 bars after each exit to prevent overtrading
Exit Strategy:
Takes partial profit at +2× ATR if held for at least 2 bars
Rides the remaining position with a trailing stop at 1.5× ATR
No hard stop-loss — giving space for volatile pullbacks
⚙️ Strategy Settings
Initial Capital: $500
Risk per Trade: 100% of equity (fully allocated per entry)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1 tick
Recalculate after order is filled
Fill orders on bar close
Timeframe Optimized For: 45-minute chart
These parameters simulate an aggressive, high-volatility trading model meant for forward-testing compounding potential under realistic trading costs.
✅ What Makes This Unique
No stop-loss = fewer premature exits
Partial profit-taking helps lock in early wins
Trailing logic gives room to ride large multi-week moves
Uses strict filters (volume, ATR, EMA bias) to enter only during high-probability windows
Ideal for leveraged ETF swing or position traders looking to hold longer than the typical intraday or 2–3 day strategies
⚠️ Important Note
This is a high-risk, high-reward strategy meant for educational and testing purposes. Without a stop-loss, trades can experience deep drawdowns that may take weeks or even months to recover. Always test thoroughly and adjust position sizing to suit your risk tolerance. Past results do not guarantee future returns. Backtest range: May 8, 2020 – May 23, 2025

cd_respect2_EQ_Cx🔹 Overview:
Many traders form a bias or look for trade setups by analyzing the high (H) and low (L) of previous higher timeframe candles. For example: a close above the previous daily high, a failure to close after breaking the high, or approaching the level without making a new high. As we’ve been taught to focus on these key levels, I wanted to draw attention to what's happening at the mid-levels (Equilibrium) of the current and higher timeframe candles.
We’ve all heard the phrase “Strong price reacts from equilibrium,” yet most of us wait at the extremes.
While working on equilibrium levels of both higher timeframes and the current timeframe, I noticed that when a current candle closes above/below the previous HTF candle's high/low, price often respects the part of the candle that caused the break — which I refer to as the Last Block. When respected, price tends to continue with momentum; when lost, a pullback or reversal often follows.
________________________________________
🔹 About the Indicator:
This tool analyzes four different higher timeframes and shows:
• Current candle equilibrium levels
• Previous candle equilibrium levels (2 display options):
1. On Box – classic display
2. On Candle – equilibrium is linked to the last candle that includes the level, making those candles more meaningful or "strengthened"
• Alerts (standard) and on-screen warnings when price approaches previous equilibrium levels
• High/Low levels of previous HTF candles
• High/Low levels of live HTF candles
• Last Block: the upper or lower part of the candle that caused the breakout when price closes above/below the previous HTF high/low
• Countdown timer until the close of selected HTFs

• Set colors (single color or per timeframe)
• Adjust font sizes across the chart
________________________________________
🔹 Usage & Last Blocks:
The core idea behind both equilibrium levels and last blocks is:
Price should “gain” and respect them to validate continuation.
Viewing multiple timeframes together strengthens bias.
Each level is treated as part of the candle it's associated with — defining the “area to be gained.”
“Did price respect the level because of that candle, or did the candle gain significance because it aligned with the level? That’s open for debate.”
(In my opinion, the candle gains significance because it aligns with the level.)
When respected, these levels/blocks act as support; when lost, they act as resistance.
In suitable timeframes, reclaiming previous equilibrium levels may be interpreted as CHoCH / CISD / IDM depending on the context.
________________________________________
🔹 Usage Example – Last Blocks:
I personally trade on 1-minute and use Daily / H4 / H1 / 15m as selected timeframes.
For example, if price reclaims the previous 15m level, I view it as a Change of Character. I then expect the next candle to show respect in that direction.
Choose timeframes based on your trading style.
Sometimes, HTF levels (past and live) cluster tightly — these areas are key watch zones for me.
That’s the reason I decided to share this indicator.
________________________________________
🔹 Chart Examples:
🔸 Example 1:
Price closes above both the 12:45 15m candle and the 12:00 H1 equilibrium levels.
Last Block forms. After retracing, price mitigates the block and respects live equilibrium levels (H4/H1/15m).
🔸 Example 2:
Explained on chart – Levels that pushed price down in the bearish trend later acted as support.
🔸 Example 3 – CHoCH/CISD/IDM Alternative:
Explained on chart – Replacing structural signals with equilibrium levels.
I see this pattern often — very effective.
🔸 Example 4:
Many levels are clustered in a narrow range; price shows respect across the board.

🔹 Final Note:
Hope you like the tool. I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
"Keep in mind, strong price reverses from equilibrium."
Happy trading!
LANZ Strategy 3.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 3.0 — Asian Range Fibonacci Scalping Strategy
LANZ Strategy 3.0 is a precision-engineered backtesting tool tailored for intraday traders who rely on the Asian session range to determine directional bias. This strategy implements dynamic Fibonacci projections and strict time-window validation to simulate a clean and disciplined trading environment.
🧠 Core Components:
Asian Range Bias Definition: Direction is established between 01:15–02:15 a.m. NY time based on the candle’s close in relation to the midpoint of the Asian session range (18:00–01:15 NY).
Limit Order Execution: Only one trade is placed daily, using a limit order at the Asian range high (for sells) or low (for buys), between 01:15–08:00 a.m. NY.
Fibonacci-Based TP/SL:
Original Mode: TP = 2.25x range, SL = 0.75x range.
Optimized Mode: TP = 1.95x range, SL = 0.65x range.
No Trade After 08:00 NY: If the limit order is not executed before 08:00 a.m. NY, it is canceled.
Fallback Logic at 02:15 NY: If the market direction misaligns with the setup at 02:15 a.m., the system re-evaluates and can re-issue the order.
End-of-Day Closure: All positions are closed at 15:45 NY if still open.
📊 Backtest-Ready Design:
Entries and exits are executed using strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() functions.
Position size is fixed via capital risk allocation ($100 per trade by default).
Only one position can be active at a time, ensuring controlled risk.
📝 Notes:
This strategy is ideal for assets sensitive to the Asian/London session overlap, such as Forex pairs and indices.
Easily switch between Fibonacci versions using a single dropdown input.
Fully deterministic: all entries are based on pre-defined conditions and time constraints.
