X Tail that Wagsintraday session-framework and ETH-anchored VWAP tool for TradingView. It draws today’s OVN (ETH) high/mid/low, today’s RTH-day open, previous day open/high/low, and a carried ETH VWAP handle (yesterday’s 4:00 PM NY VWAP, projected forward) to give you a clean, non-repainting scaffold for bias, structure, and execution. All timestamps are New York–local with DST handled explicitly, so historical sessions align correctly across time changes.
Key Capabilities
ETH OVN Range (18:00 → 09:30 NY)
Captures the rolling overnight high/low and computes the mid; at 09:30 NY it locks those levels and extends them to 16:00 NY (same day).
Optional labels (size/color configurable) placed slightly to the right of the 4 PM timestamp for readability.
Daily Handles (Today & Previous Day)
Today’s open line starts at the ETH open (anchor preserved) and extends toward 4 PM NY (or up to the “current bar + 5 bars” cap), with label control.
Previous day open/high/low plotted as discrete reference lines for carry-over structure.
ETH-Anchored VWAP (Live) + Bands
ETH-anchored VWAP runs only during the active ETH session (DST-aware).
Optional VWAP bands (0.5×, 1.0×, 2.0× multipliers) plotted as line-break series.
Carried ETH VWAP Handle (PD 4 PM Snapshot)
At 16:00 NY, the script snapshots the final ETH VWAP value.
On the next ETH open, it projects that value as a static dashed line through the session (non-mutating, non-repainting), with optional label.
Labeling & Styling
Single-toggle label system with color and five sizes.
Per-line color/width controls for quick visual hierarchy.
Internal “tail” logic keeps right endpoints near price (open-anchored lines extend to min(4 PM, now + 5 bars)), avoiding chart-wide overdraw.
Robust Session Logic
All session boundaries computed in NY local time; DST rules applied for historical bars.
Cross-midnight windows handled safely (no gaps or misalignment around day rolls).
Primary Use Cases
Session Bias & Context
Use OVN H/M/L and today’s open to define structural bias zones before RTH begins. A break-and-hold above OVN mid, for example, can filter long ideas; conversely, rejection at OVN high can warn of mean reversion.
Carry-Forward Mean/Value Reference
The carried ETH VWAP (PD 4 PM) acts as a “value memory” line for the next day. Traders can:
Fade tests away from it in balanced conditions,
Use it as a pullback/acceptance gauge during trends,
Track liquidity grabs when price spikes through and reclaims.
Execution Planning & Risk
Anchor stops/targets around PD H/L and OVN H/M/L for well-defined invalidation.
Combine with your entry model (order-flow, momentum, or pattern) to time fades at range extremes or momentum breaks from OVN mid.
Confluence Mapping
Layer the tool with opening range tools, HTF zones, or profile/VWAPs (weekly/daily) to spot high-quality confluence where multiple references cluster.
Regime & Day-Type Read
Quickly see whether RTH accepts/rejects the OVN range or gravitates to PD VWAP handle, helping classify the day (trend, balanced, double-distribution, etc.).
Quick Start
Apply to your intraday chart (any instrument supported by TradingView; best on ≤15m for live intraday context).
In Current Day group, keep Open and OVN HL on; optionally display the mid.
In Previous Day group, enable PD Open/HL for carry-over levels.
Enable AVWAP if you want live ETH-anchored VWAP and its Bands for distance context.
Keep PD VWAP on to project yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP as a static dashed line into today.
Use the Label group to size/color the on-chart tags.
Settings Overview (Plain-English)
Label: Toggle labels on/off; choose label text color and size.
Current Day:
Open (color/width) — daily open line anchored at ETH open.
OVN HL (and Mid) — overnight high/low and midpoint, locked at 09:30 and extended to 16:00.
AVWAP + Bands — ETH-anchored VWAP with optional 0.5×/1×/2× bands.
Previous Day:
PD Open/HL — yesterday’s daily handles.
PD VWAP — the carried snapshot of yesterday’s 4 PM ETH VWAP projected forward (dashed).
Notes & Best Practices
Time Zone: All session logic is hard-coded to America/New_York and DST-robust. No manual DST tweaks required.
Non-Repainting: The carried PD VWAP line is a snapshot; once drawn, it does not back-fill or mutate.
Intraday Use: Designed for intraday execution. It will display on higher TFs, but the session granularity is most informative at ≤15m.
Performance: Script caps lines/labels (500) and uses short “tails” to keep charts responsive.
Compatibility: Uses request.security(..., "D", series, lookahead_on) intentionally to lock daily handles early for planning; this is by design.
Typical Playbook Examples
Fade Extremes in Balance: As RTH opens inside OVN, look for rejection wicks at OVN High with confluence from PD VWAP handle overhead; risk above OVN High.
Trend Continuation: In directional sessions, acceptances above OVN Mid with price pulling back to the live ETH VWAP can offer continuation entries.
Reversion to Value: Sharp extensions away from the carried PD VWAP that quickly stall often revert to that handle; use it as a target or as an acceptance test.

MCL RSI Conflux v2.5 — Multi-Timeframe Momentum & Z-Score Full Description
Overview
The MCL RSI Conflux v2.5 is a multi-timeframe momentum model that integrates daily, weekly, and monthly RSI values into a unified composite. It extends the classical RSI framework with adaptive overbought/oversold thresholds and statistical normalization (Z-score confluence).
This combination allows traders to visualize cross-timeframe alignment, identify synchronized momentum shifts, and detect exhaustion zones with higher statistical confidence.
Methodology
The script extracts RSI data from three major time horizons:
Daily RSI (short-term momentum)
Weekly RSI (intermediate trend)
Monthly RSI (macro bias)
Each RSI is optionally smoothed, weighted, and aggregated into a Composite RSI.
A Z-score transformation then measures how far each RSI deviates from its historical mean, revealing when momentum strength is statistically extreme or aligned across timeframes.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe RSI Engine – Computes RSI across D/W/M intervals with individual weighting controls.
Adaptive Overbought/Oversold Bands – Automatically adjusts OB/OS thresholds based on rolling volatility (standard deviation of daily RSI).
Composite RSI Score – Weighted consensus RSI that represents total market momentum.
Z-Score Confluence Analysis – Identifies when all three timeframes are statistically synchronized.
Z-Composite Histogram – Displays aggregated Z-score strength around the midline (50).
Divergence Detection – Flags confirmed pivot-based bull and bear divergences on the daily RSI.
Dynamic Gradient Background – Shifts from red to green based on composite momentum regime.
Customizable Control Panel – Displays RSI values, Z-scores, state, and adaptive bands for each timeframe.
Integrated Alerts – For crossovers, risk-on/off thresholds, alignment, and Z-confluence events.
Interpretation
All RSI values above 50: multi-timeframe bullish alignment.
All RSI values below 50: multi-timeframe bearish alignment.
Composite RSI > 60: risk-on environment; momentum expansion.
Composite RSI < 45: risk-off environment; momentum contraction.
Adaptive OB/OS hits: potential exhaustion or mean reversion setup.
Green Z-ribbon: all Z-scores positive and aligned (statistical confirmation).
Red Z-ribbon: all Z-scores negative and aligned (broad market weakness).
Divergences: short-term warning signals against the prevailing momentum bias.
Practical Application
Use the Composite RSI as a global momentum gauge for position bias.
Trade only in the direction of higher-timeframe alignment (avoid countertrend RSI).
Combine Z-ribbon confirmation with Composite RSI crosses to filter noise.
Use divergence labels and adaptive thresholds for risk reduction or exit timing.
Ideal for swing traders and macro momentum models seeking trend synchronization filters.
Recommended Settings
Market Mode k-Band Lookback Use Case
Stocks / ETFs Adaptive 0.85 200 Medium-term rotation filter
Crypto Adaptive 1.00 150 Volatility-responsive swing filter
Commodities Fixed 70/30 100 Mean reversion model
Alerts Included
Daily RSI crossed above/below Weekly RSI
Composite RSI > Risk-On threshold
Composite RSI < Risk-Off threshold
All RSI aligned above/below 50
Z-Score Conformity (All positive or all negative)
Overbought/Oversold triggers

Volume Area 80 Rule Pro - Adaptive RTHSummary in one paragraph
Adaptive value area 80 percent rule for index futures large cap equities liquid crypto and major FX on intraday timeframes. It focuses activity only when multiple context gates align. It is original because the classic prior day value area traverse is fused with a daily regime classifier that remaps the operating parameters in real time.
Scope and intent
• Markets. ES NQ SPY QQQ large cap equities BTC ETH major FX pairs and other liquid RTH instruments
• Timeframes. One minute to one hour with daily regime context
• Default demo used in the publication. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Trade only the balanced days where the 80 percent traverse has edge while standing aside or tightening rules during trend or shock
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Prior day value area logic plus a rolling daily regime classifier using percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The regime remaps hold time end of window stop buffer and value area coverage on each session
• Failure mode addressed. False starts during strong trend or shock sessions and weak traverses during quiet grind
• Testability. All gates are visible in Inputs and debug flags can be plotted so users can verify why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. The regime uses ATR divided by close and ADX percent ranks which behave consistently across symbols
Method overview in plain language
The script builds the prior session profile during regular trading hours. At the first regular bar it freezes yesterday value area low value area high and point of control. It then evaluates the current session open location the first thirty minute volume rank the open gap rank and an opening drive test. In parallel a daily series classifies context into Calm Balance Trend or Shock from rolling percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The classifier scales the rules. Calm uses longer holds and a slightly wider value area. Trend and Shock shorten the window reduce holds and enlarge stop buffers.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a configurable length on both the daily and intraday series
• Return basis. Not required. ATR over close is the unit for regime strength
Components
• Prior Value Area Engine. Builds yesterday value area low value area high and point of control from a binned volume profile with automatic TPO fallback and minimum integrity guards
• Opening Location. Detects whether the session opens above the prior value area or below it
• Inside Hold Counter. Counts consecutive bars that hold inside the value area after a re entry
• Volume Gate. Percentile of the first thirty minutes volume over a rolling sample
• Gap Gate. Percentile rank of the regular session open gap over a rolling sample
• Drive Gate. Opening drive check using a multiple of intraday ATR
• Regime Classifier. Percentile ranks of daily ATR over close and daily ADX classify Calm Balance Trend Shock and remap parameters
• Session windows optional. Windows follow the chart exchange time
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates approach. A re entry must hold inside the value area for a regime scaled number of bars while the volume gap and drive gates allow the setup. The regime simultaneously scales value area coverage end minute time stop and stop buffer.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when price opens below yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• Short suggestion appears when price opens above yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• WAIT shows implicitly when any required gate is missing
• Exit labels mark target touch stop touch or a time based close
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart by default
• Session windows optional. Start and end minutes inside regular trading hours
• Invert direction is not used. The logic is symmetric
Logic
• Hold bars inside value area. Typical range 3 to 12. Raising it reduces trades and favors better traverses. Lowering it increases frequency and risk of false starts
• Earliest minute since RTH open and Latest minute since RTH open. Typical range 0 to 390. Reducing the latest minute cuts late session trades
• Time stop bars after entry. Typical range 6 to 30. Larger values give setups more room
Filters
• Value area coverage. Typical range 0.70 to 0.85. Higher coverage narrows the traverse but accepts fewer days
• Bin size in ticks. Typical range 1 to 8. Larger bins stabilize noisy profiles
• Stop buffer ticks beyond edge. Typical range 2 to 20. Larger buffers survive noise
• First thirty minute volume percentile. Typical range 0.30 to 0.70. Higher values require more active opens
• Gap filter percentile. Typical range 0.70 to 0.95. Lower values block more gap days
• Opening drive multiple and bars. Higher multiple or longer bars block strong directional opens
Adaptivity
• Lookback days for regime ranks. Typical 150 to 500
• Calm RV percentile. Typical 25 to 45
• Trend ADX percentile. Typical 55 to 75
• Shock RV percentile. Typical 75 to 90
• End minute ratio in Trend and Shock. Typical 0.5 to 0.8
• Hold and Time stop scales per regime. Use values near one to keep behavior close to static settings
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes
• Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Sessions use the chart exchange time
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the balance premise
• Gap heavy symbols may work better with stronger gap filters and a True Range focus
• Very quiet regimes reduce signal contrast. Consider longer windows or higher thresholds

High and low statisticsHigh/Low Pattern Analyzer (All Timeframes)
Ever wonder if there's a hidden pattern in the market?
Does the high of the week usually happen on a Tuesday?
Does the low of the month always form in the first week?
Which 15-minute candle really sets the high for the entire day?
This indicator is a powerful statistical tool designed to answer these questions by analyzing historical price action to find patterns in when the high and low of a period are formed.
The Core Idea: Daily High & Low of the Week
The simplest and most popular feature of this indicator is the "Daily high and low of the week" analysis.
What it does:
It looks back over your chosen number of weeks (e.g., the last 100) and finds out which day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.) made the final high and which day made the final low for each of those weeks.
How to use it:
Go to the script settings.
Enable the "Daily High/Low of the Week" module.
Set your chart to the 1D (Daily) timeframe.
A table will appear on your chart (bottom-right by default) showing the exact count and percentage for each day. This lets you see at a glance if there's a strong tendency for the market you're watching.
Advanced Analysis: Other Timeframes
This script goes far beyond just the daily chart. It includes four other independent analysis modules:
1. 4-Hour High/Low of the Week
What it does: For intraday and swing traders. This module finds which 4-hour candle session (e.g., the 08:00 candle, the 16:00 candle) tends to form the high or low of the entire week.
Key Feature (DST Aware): This table is "season-aware." It knows that the 08:00 "summertime" (DST) candle is the same trading session as the 07:00 "wintertime" (STD) candle. It groups them together so your data is never split or messy.
2. Weekly High/Low of the Month
What it does: For a monthly perspective. This module finds which week of the month (Week 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) is most likely to form the monthly high or low.
How to use: Enable it and set your chart to the 1W (Weekly) timeframe.
3. Monthly High/Low of the Year
What it does: The ultimate "big picture" view. This module finds which month (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.) most frequently forms the high or low for the entire year.
How to use: Enable it and set your chart to the 1M (Monthly) timeframe.
The Power User Module: Custom Timeframe Analysis
This is the most powerful feature. It lets you analyze any timeframe combination you want.
What it does: It finds out which "Lower Timeframe" (LTF) candle made the high or low of any "Higher Timeframe" (HTF) you choose.
Example: Do you want to know which 15-minute candle makes the Daily high?
Set your chart to the 15M timeframe.
Go to the "Custom Timeframe Analysis" settings.
Set the "Higher Timeframe" to "1D".
The script will draw a "season-aware" table (just like the 4H module) showing you the exact 15-minute candles (09:15, 09:30, etc.) that are statistically most likely to form the day's high or low.
Other Features
Show Labels: Each module has an option to "Show labels," which will draw a label (e.g., "Daily High of the Week") directly on the chart at the exact bar that made the high or low.
Custom Dividers: Each module has its own optional, color-customizable divider (e.g., weekly, monthly) that you can toggle on to see the periods more clearly.
Clean Settings: All modules are disabled by default (except for "Daily") to keep your chart clean. You only need to enable the specific analysis you want to see.
This tool was built to turn your curiosity about market patterns into actionable, statistical data. Enjoy!
NY ORB - Full Dynamic SystemNY ORB - Full Dynamic Strategy Summary
1. Opening Range and Session Timing
Opening Range (ORB) Calculation: The strategy identifies the ORB High and ORB Low by tracking the highest high and lowest low during the specified New York pre-market window, which is set by default from 8:30 to 8:45 (New York time).
Entry Window: Trading activity is restricted to a specific entry period, typically starting shortly after the ORB is established (default: 8:50 to 12:00).
Hard Exit Time: Any remaining open positions are automatically closed at a fixed exit time (default: 13:25).
2. Trade Entry Logic and Filters
An entry (Long or Short) is generated when the price breaks out of the established ORB, provided it passes a series of optional filters:
Direction Control: The user can restrict the strategy to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
Second Breakout Logic: An optional filter that requires the price to break out, reverse back into the range, and then break out again, confirming momentum after a consolidation.
Confirmation Candle Count: An optional filter that checks the close of a previous candle (e.g., 1 or 2 candles ago) to ensure the price was still inside the range, preventing premature entry.
Technical Filters (Optional): The entry is only executed if it aligns with selected indicators:
RSI: Filters for non-overbought (Long) or non-oversold (Short) conditions.
MACD: Requires the MACD line to be above/below the Signal line for alignment.
VWAP: Requires the price to be above/below the Volume-Weighted Average Price.
Trend Filter (SMMA): Requires the price to be above/below a 50-period Simple Moving Average.
3. Dynamic Risk and Exit Management
This strategy features highly configurable stop-loss and profit-taking mechanics:
Primary Stop Loss Methods: The Stop Loss distance can be dynamically chosen from four types:
Fixed: A fixed number of ticks.
ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Capped ATR: ATR-based, but with a hard maximum tick limit.
OR-Based: Based on a multiple of the actual ORB High-to-Low range.
Dynamic Profit Target: The Take Profit level is calculated dynamically based on a multiplier of either the ATR or the ORB Range.
Breakeven Stop:
If enabled, the Stop Loss automatically moves to the entry price (Breakeven) once the price moves a predetermined distance in the profitable direction.
An Adaptive Breakeven option allows the trigger distance to be calculated as a percentage of the overall ATR Profit Target.
Trailing Stop: The strategy uses a trailing stop, which can be custom-set (fixed ticks) or dynamically tied to the ATR. An optional feature Auto Tighten Trailing reduces the trailing multiplier once the breakeven level is hit.
MA Cross Exit: An alternative, counter-trend exit mechanism that closes the trade if the price crosses back over the chosen Moving Average (either SMMA or VWAP), overriding the pending profit target.
4. Daily Account Management
The strategy includes crucial daily risk controls to protect capital and lock in profits:
Daily Profit Limit: If the total daily PnL (realized and unrealized) hits a predefined maximum profit threshold (in ticks), all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the trading day.
Daily Loss Limit: Conversely, if the total daily PnL hits a predefined maximum loss threshold, all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the day.
NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
• Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
• Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
• Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
• Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
• Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
• Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
• VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
• Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
• Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
• Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
• Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
• Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
• Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
• Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
• Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
• Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
• VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
• VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
• Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital one hundred thousand USD
• Base currency USD
• request.security uses lookahead off
• Commission cash per contract two point five $ per each contract. Slippage one tick
• Default order size method FIXED with value one contract. Pyramiding zero. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier OFF. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick ON
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
• Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
• Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
• Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.

Camarilla Pivot Plays (Lite) [BruzX]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator implements the Camarilla Pivot Points levels and a system for suggesting particular plays. It only 3rd, 4th, and 6th levels, as these are the only ones used by the system. It also optionally shows the Central Pivot Range, which is in fact between S2 and R2. In total, there are 12 possible plays, grouped into two groups of six. The algorithm evaluates in real-time which plays fulfil their precondition and shows the candidate plays. The user must then decide if and when to take the play.
█ CREDITS
The Camarilla pivot plays are defined in a strategy developed by Thor Young, and the whole system is explained in his book "A Complete Day Trading System". This description is self-sufficient for effective use.
█ FEATURES
Display the 3rd, 4th and 6th Camarilla pivot levels
Works for stocks, futures, indices, forex and crypto
Automatically switches between RTH and ETH data based on criteria defined by the system.
Option to force RTH/ETH data and force a close price to be used in the calculation.
Preconditions for the plays can be toggled on/off
Works correctly on both RTH and ETH charts
Well-documented options tooltips
Well-documented and high-quality open-source code for those who are interested
█ HOW TO USE
The defaults work well; at a minimum, just add the indicator and watch the plays being called. For US futures, you will probably want to chat the "Timezone for sessions" to New York and the regular session times to 09:30 - 16:00. The following diagram shows its key features.
By default, the indicator draws plays 1 days back; this can be changed up to 20 days. The labels can be shifted left/right using the "label offset" option to avoid overlapping with other labels in this indicator or those of another indicator.
An information box at the top-right of the chart shows:
The data currently in use for the main pivots. This can switch in the pre-market if the H/L range exceeds the previous day's H/L, and if it does, you will see that switch at the time that it happens
Whether the current day's pivots are in a higher or lower range compared to the previous day's.
The width of the pivots compared to the previous day
The current candidate plays fulfilling preconditions. You then need to watch the price action to decide whether to take the play.
The resistance pivots are all drawn in the same colour (red by default), as are the support pivots (green by default). You can change the resistance and support colours, but it is not possible to have different colours for different levels of the same kind.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is focused around daily Camarilla pivots and evaluates the preconditions for 12 possible plays: 6 when in a higher range, 6 when in a lower range. The plays are labelled by two letters—the first indicates the range, the second indicates the play—as shown in this diagram:
The pivots can be calculated using only RTH (Regular Trading Hours) data, or ETH (Extended Trading Hours) data, which includes the pre-market and post-market. The indicator implements logic to automatically choose the correct data, based on the rules defined by the strategy. This is user-overridable. With the default options, ETH will be used when the H/L range in the previous day's post-market or current day's pre-market exceeds that of the previous day's regular market. In auto mode, the chosen pivots are considered the main pivots for that day and are the ones used for play evaluation. The "other" pivots can also be shown—"other" here meaning using ETH data when the main pivots use RTH data, and vice versa.
The plays must fulfil a set of preconditions. There are preconditions for valid region and range, price sweeps into levels, correct pivot width, opening position, price action, and whether neutral range plays and premarket plays are enabled. When all the preconditions are fulfilled, the play will be shown as a candidate.
█ NOTE FOR FUTURES
Futures don't officially have a pre-market or post-market like equities. Let's take ES on CME as an example. It trades from 18:00 ET Sunday to 17:00 Friday (ET), with a daily pause between 17:00 and 18:00 ET. However, most of the trading activity is done between 09:30 and 16:00, which you can tell from the volume spikes at those times, and this coincides with NYSE/NASDAQ regular hours. So we define a pseudo-pre-market from 18:00 the previous day to 09:30 on the current day, then a pseudo-regular market from 08:30 to 16:00, then a pseudo-post-market from 16:00 to 17:00. The indicator then works exactly the same as with equities—all the options behave the same, just with different session times defined for the pre-, regular, and post-market, with "RTH" meaning just the regular market and "ETH" meaning all three.
█ LIMITATIONS
The pivots are very close to those shown in DAS Trader Pro. They are not to-the-cent exact, but within a few cents. The reasons are:
TradingView provides free real-time data from CBOE One, not full exchange data (you can pay for this though, and it's not expensive), and
the close/high/low are taken from the intraday timeframe you are currently viewing, not daily data—which are very close, but often not exactly the same. For example, the high on the daily timeframe may differ slightly from the daily high you'll see on an intraday timeframe.
Despite these caveats, occasionally large spikes will be seem in one platform and not the other (even with paid data), or the spikes will reach significantly difference prices. Where these spikes create the daily high or low, this can cause significantly different pivots levels. The more traded the stock is, the less the difference tends to be. Highly traded stocks are usually within a few cents (but even they occasionally have large differences in spikes). There is nothing that can be done about this.
The 6th Camarilla level does not have a standard definition and may not match the level shown on other platforms. It does match the definition used by DAS Trader Pro.
Replay mode for stocks does not work correctly. This is due to some important Pine Script variables provided by the TradingView platform and used by the script not being assigned correct values in replay mode. Futures do not use these variables, so they should work in replay mode.
The indicator is an intraday indicator (despite also being able to show weekly and monthly pivots on an intraday chart). It deactivates on a daily timeframe and higher. Sub-minute timeframes are also not supported.
The indicator was developed and tested for US/European stocks, US futures and EURUSD forex and BTCUSD. It should work as intended for stocks and futures in different countries, and for all forex and crypto, but this is tested as much as the security it was developed for.

VWMA Series (Dynamic) mtf - Dual Gradient Colored"VWMA Series (Dynamic) mtf - Dual Gradient Colored" is a multi-timeframe (MTF) Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) ribbon indicator that plots up to 60 sequential VWMAs with arithmetic progression periods (e.g., 1, 4, 7, 10…). Each VWMA line is dual-gradient colored: Base hue = Greenish (#2dd204) if close > VWMA (bullish), Magenta (#ff00c8) if close < VWMA (bearish)
Brightness gradient = fades from base → white as period increases (short → long-term)
Uses daily resolution by default (timeframe="D"), making it ideal for higher-timeframe trend filtering on lower charts.Key FeaturesFeature

VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6 - AdvancedThese are a few updates made to the original script. The daily take profit and stop loss functions correctly for 1 contract but because of the pyramiding input even if not used you'll need to multiply the values by the number of contracts to keep consistent results. I have been unable to correct that function. Let me know if you test the script and have any recommendations for improvement. If trading an actual account I do recommend setting hard daily limits with your provider because there is still slippage from the original exit alerts even with the daily stop loss in place.
1. Real-Time Execution & Hard PnL Limits (The Focus)
The most critical changes were implemented to ensure the daily profit and loss limits act as hard, real-time barriers instead of waiting for the candle to close.
• Intrabar Tick Execution: The parameter calc_on_every_tick=true was added to the strategy() declaration. This forces the entire script to re-evaluate its logic on every single price update (tick), enabling immediate action.
• Real-Time PnL Tracking: The PnL calculation was updated to track the total_daily_pnl by summing the realized profit/loss (from closed trades) and the unrealized profit/loss (strategy.openprofit) on every tick.
• Immediate Closure: The script now checks the total_daily_pnl against the user-defined limits (daily_take_profit_value, daily_stop_loss_value) and immediately executes strategy.close_all() the moment the threshold is breached, preventing further trading.
• Combined Risk Enforcement: The user-defined "Max Intraday Risk ($)" and the "Daily Stop Loss (Value)" are compared, and the script enforces the tighter of the two limits.
2. Visibility and External Alerting
To address the unavoidable issue of slippage (which causes price overshoot in fast markets even with tick execution), dedicated alert mechanisms were added.
• Dedicated Alert Condition: An alertcondition named DAILY PNL LIMIT REACHED was added. This allows you to set up a TradingView alert that triggers the instant the daily_limit_reached variable turns true, giving you the fastest possible notification.
• Visual Marker: A large red triangle (\u25b2) is plotted on the chart using plotchar at the exact moment the daily limit condition is met, providing a clear visual confirmation of the trigger bar.
3. Strategy Features and Input Flexibility
Several user-requested features were integrated to make the strategy more robust and customizable.
• Trailing Stop / Breakeven (TSL/BE): A new exit option, Fixed Ticks + TSL, was added, allowing you to set a fixed profit target while also deploying a trailing stop or breakeven level based on points/ticks gained.
• Multiple Exit Types: The exit strategy was expanded to include logic for several types: Fixed Ticks, ATR-based, Capped ATR-based, VWAP Cross, and Price/Band Crosses.
• Pyramiding Control: An input Max Pyramiding Entries was introduced to control how many positions the strategy can have open at the same time.
• Confirmation Logic Toggle: Added an input to choose how multiple confirmation indicators (RSI, SMMA, MACD) are combined: "AND" (all must be true) or "OR" (at least one must be true).
• Indicator Confirmations: Logic for three external indicators—RSI, SMMA (EMA), and MACD—was fully integrated to act as optional filters for entry.
• VWAP Reset Anchors: Logic was corrected to properly reset the VWAP calculation based on the selected period ("Daily", "Weekly", or "Session") by using Pine Script v6's required anchor series.
Trading Day Filters: Inputs were added to select which specific days of the week the strategy is allowed to trade.
Power RSI Segment Runner [CHE] Power RSI Segment Runner — Tracks RSI momentum across higher timeframe segments to detect directional switches for trend confirmation.
Summary
This indicator calculates a running Relative Strength Index adapted to segments defined by changes in a higher timeframe, such as daily closes, providing a smoothed view of momentum within each period. It distinguishes between completed segments, which fix the final RSI value, and ongoing ones, which update in real time with an exponential moving average filter. Directional switches between bullish and bearish momentum trigger visual alerts, including overlay lines and emojis, while a compact table displays current trend strength as a progress bar. This segmented approach reduces noise from intra-period fluctuations, offering clearer signals for trend persistence compared to standard RSI on lower timeframes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard RSI often generates erratic signals in choppy markets due to constant recalculation over fixed lookback periods, leading to false reversals that mislead traders during range-bound or volatile phases. By resetting the RSI accumulation at higher timeframe boundaries, this indicator aligns momentum assessment with broader market cycles, capturing sustained directional bias more reliably. It addresses the gap between short-term noise and long-term trends, helping users filter entries without over-relying on absolute overbought or oversold thresholds.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline Reference: Diverges from the classic Wilder RSI, which uses a fixed-length exponential moving average of gains and losses across all bars.
- Architecture Differences:
- Segments momentum resets at higher timeframe changes, isolating calculations per period instead of continuous history.
- Employs persistent sums for ups and downs within segments, with on-the-fly RSI derivation and EMA smoothing.
- Integrates switch detection logic that clears prior visuals on reversal, preventing clutter from outdated alerts.
- Adds overlay projections like horizontal price lines and dynamic percent change trackers for immediate trade context.
- Practical Effect: Charts show discrete RSI endpoints for past segments alongside a curved running trace, making momentum evolution visually intuitive. Switches appear as clean, extendable overlays, reducing alert fatigue and highlighting only confirmed directional shifts, which aids in avoiding whipsaws during minor pullbacks.
How it works (technical)
The indicator begins by detecting changes in the specified higher timeframe, such as a new daily bar, to define segment boundaries. At each boundary, it finalizes the prior segment's RSI by summing positive and negative price changes over that period and derives the value from the ratio of those sums, then applies an exponential moving average for smoothing. Within the active segment, it accumulates ongoing ups and downs from price changes relative to the source, recalculating the running RSI similarly and smoothing it with the same EMA length.
Points for the running RSI are collected into an array starting from the segment's onset, forming a curved polyline once sufficient bars accumulate. Comparisons between the running RSI and the last completed segment's value determine the current direction as long, short, or neutral, with switches triggering deletions of old visuals and creation of new ones: a label at the RSI pane, a vertical dashed line across the RSI range, an emoji positioned via ATR offset on the price chart, a solid horizontal line at the switch price, a dashed line tracking current close, and a midpoint label for percent change from the switch.
Initialization occurs on the first bar by resetting accumulators, and visualization gates behind a minimum bar count since the segment start to avoid early instability. The trend strength table builds vertically with filled cells proportional to the rounded RSI value, colored by direction. All drawing objects update or extend on subsequent bars to reflect live progress.
Parameter Guide
EMA Length — Controls the smoothing applied to the running RSI; higher values increase lag but reduce noise. Default: 10. Trade-offs: Shorter settings heighten sensitivity for fast markets but risk more false switches; longer ones suit trending conditions for stability.
Source — Selects the price data for change calculations, typically close for standard momentum. Default: close. Trade-offs: Open or high/low may emphasize gaps, altering segment intensity.
Segment Timeframe — Defines the higher timeframe for segment resets, like daily for intraday charts. Default: D. Trade-offs: Shorter frames create more frequent but shorter segments; longer ones align with major cycles but delay resets.
Overbought Level — Sets the upper threshold for potential overbought conditions (currently unused in visuals). Default: 70. Trade-offs: Adjust for asset volatility; higher values delay bearish warnings.
Oversold Level — Sets the lower threshold for potential oversold conditions (currently unused in visuals). Default: 30. Trade-offs: Lower values permit deeper dips before signaling bullish potential.
Show Completed Label — Toggles labels at segment ends displaying final RSI. Default: true. Trade-offs: Enables historical review but can crowd charts on dense timeframes.
Plot Running Segment — Enables the curved polyline for live RSI trace. Default: true. Trade-offs: Visualizes intra-segment flow; disable for cleaner panes.
Running RSI as Label — Displays current running RSI as a forward-projected label on the last bar. Default: false. Trade-offs: Useful for quick reads; may overlap in tight scales.
Show Switch Label — Activates RSI pane labels on directional switches. Default: true. Trade-offs: Provides context; omit to minimize pane clutter.
Show Switch Line (RSI) — Draws vertical dashed lines across the RSI range at switches. Default: true. Trade-offs: Marks reversal bars clearly; extends both ways for reference.
Show Solid Overlay Line — Projects a horizontal line from switch price forward. Default: true. Trade-offs: Acts as dynamic support/resistance; wider lines enhance visibility.
Show Dashed Overlay Line — Tracks a dashed line from switch to current close. Default: true. Trade-offs: Shows price deviation; thinner for subtlety.
Show Percent Change Label — Midpoint label tracking percent move from switch. Default: true. Trade-offs: Quantifies progress; centers dynamically.
Show Trend Strength Table — Displays right-side table with direction header and RSI bar. Default: true. Trade-offs: Instant strength gauge; fixed position avoids overlap.
Activate Visualization After N Bars — Delays signals until this many bars into a segment. Default: 3. Trade-offs: Filters immature readings; higher values miss early momentum.
Segment End Label — Color for completed RSI labels. Default: 7E57C2. Trade-offs: Purple tones for finality.
Running RSI — Color for polyline and running elements. Default: yellow. Trade-offs: Bright for live tracking.
Long — Color for bullish switch visuals. Default: green. Trade-offs: Standard for uptrends.
Short — Color for bearish switch visuals. Default: red. Trade-offs: Standard for downtrends.
Solid Line Width — Thickness of horizontal overlay line. Default: 2. Trade-offs: Bolder for emphasis on key levels.
Dashed Line Width — Thickness of tracking and vertical lines. Default: 1. Trade-offs: Finer to avoid dominance.
Reading & Interpretation
Completed segment RSIs appear as static points or labels in purple, indicating the fixed momentum at period close—values drifting toward the upper half suggest building strength, while lower half implies weakness. The yellow curved polyline traces the live smoothed RSI within the current segment, rising for accumulating gains and falling for losses. Directional labels and lines in green or red flag switches: green for running momentum exceeding the prior segment's, signaling potential uptrend continuation; red for the opposite.
The right table's header colors green for long, red for short, or gray for neutral/wait, with filled purple bars scaling from bottom (low RSI) to top (high), topped by the numeric value. Overlay elements project from switch bars: the solid green/red line as a price anchor, dashed tracker showing pullback extent, and percent label quantifying deviation—positive for alignment with direction, negative for counter-moves. Emojis (up arrow for long, down for short) float above/below price via ATR spacing for quick chart scans.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend Following: Enter long on green switch confirmation after a higher high in structure; filter with table strength above midpoint for conviction. Pair with volume surge for added weight.
- Exits/Stops: Trail stops to the solid overlay line on pullbacks; exit if percent change reverses beyond 2 percent against direction. Use wait bars to confirm without chasing.
- Multi-Asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H-4H with daily segments; for crypto, shorten EMA to 5 for volatility. Scale segment TF to weekly for daily charts across indices.
- Combinations: Overlay on EMA clouds for confluence—switch aligning with cloud break strengthens signal. Add volatility filters like ATR bands to debounce in low-volume regimes.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close within segments, with running polyline updating live but gated by minimum bars to prevent flicker. Higher timeframe changes may introduce minor repaints on timeframe switches, mitigated by relying on confirmed HTF closes rather than intrabar peeks. Resource limits cap at 500 labels/lines and 50 polylines, pruning old objects on switches to stay efficient; no explicit loops, but array growth ties to segment length—suitable for up to 500-bar histories without lag.
Known limits include delayed visualization in short segments and insensitivity to overbought/oversold levels, as thresholds are inputted but not actively visualized. Gaps in source data reset accumulators prematurely, potentially skewing early RSI.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with EMA length 10, daily segments, and 3-bar wait for balanced responsiveness on hourly charts. For excessive switches in ranging markets, increase wait bars to 5 or EMA to 14 to dampen noise. If signals lag in trends, drop EMA to 5 and use 1H segments. For stable assets like indices, widen to weekly segments; tune colors for dark/light themes without altering logic.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This tool serves as a momentum visualization and switch detector layered over price action, aiding trend identification and confirmation in segmented contexts. It is not a standalone trading system, predictive model, or risk calculator—always integrate with broader analysis, position sizing, and stop-loss discipline.

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6: Script Summary
This Pine Script implements a highly flexible, multi-layered trading strategy centered around the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its associated Standard Deviation Bands.
The strategy is designed to test various entry/exit models based on how the price interacts with the central VWAP line and the upper/lower volatility bands, with extensive risk management and confirmation filters.
1. Core Mechanics (VWAP & Bands)
VWAP Calculation: Calculates the VWAP based on a user-defined source (default is the close price).
Standard Deviation Bands: Creates upper and lower bands by calculating the standard deviation of the price (over 20 periods by default) and multiplying it by a user-defined Multiplier (default is 2.0). These bands dynamically expand and contract with volatility.
Plotting: The script clearly plots the VWAP (purple), the Upper Band (green), and the Lower Band (red), with a colored fill between the bands.
2. Entry Triggers
The core entry logic is based on a single, user-selected cross event between the price and the VWAP/Bands. The user can choose from six predefined entry types:
Entry Type Category
Entry Trigger (Long)
Entry Trigger (Short)
Mean Reversion
Price crosses over the Lower Band.
Price crosses under the Upper Band.
Trend Following
Price crosses over the Upper Band (Breakout).
Price crosses under the Lower Band (Breakout).
VWAP Cross
Price crosses over the VWAP.
Price crosses under the VWAP.
3. Filters and Confirmation
Trades are only executed if they pass a series of optional filters, making the strategy highly customizable:
Technical Confirmation (Optional): Users can enable and configure up to three additional indicators that must align with the trade direction:
RSI: Price must be Oversold (for Long) or Overbought (for Short).
SMMA: Price must be above the SMMA (for Long) or below (for Short).
MACD: MACD line must cross the Signal line and the Histogram must be positive/negative.
Time and Day Filters: Trades are restricted to a defined Entry Start/End Hour/Minute window, and only execute on user-selected Trading Days of the week.
Trade Direction: Can be toggled to execute Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
4. Advanced Risk Management (Daily Limits)
The strategy incorporates robust daily limits that reset at a configured Daily Reset Hour/Minute:
Daily Profit/Loss Limits: If the running total of Realized PnL (closed trades) + Unrealized PnL (open position) exceeds a user-defined Daily Take Profit (in Ticks) or falls below the Daily Stop Loss (in Ticks), the strategy locks out new trades and immediately closes any open position.
Max Daily Trades: Prevents the strategy from entering more than a specified number of trades per day.
5. Exit Logic
The strategy exit is also highly configurable via the Exit Type setting:
Fixed Ticks / ATR / Capped ATR: If one of these is selected, the script calculates a static Stop Loss and Take Profit level upon entry, using either fixed tick values or dynamic values based on the Average True Range (ATR), which are then executed using Pine Script's strategy.exit function.
Cross Exits (VWAP/Bands): If selected, the position is closed when the price crosses the VWAP or a specific band in the opposite direction.
End-of-Day Close: An unconditional exit that closes all open positions at a user-defined Close All Hour/Minute, regardless of profit/loss or limit status, preventing positions from being held overnight.
Buy And Hold Performance Screener - [JTCAPITAL]Buy And Hold Performance Screener – is a script designed to track and display multi-asset “buy and hold” performance curves and performance statistics over defined timeframes for selected symbols. It doesn’t attempt to time entries or exits; rather, it shows what would happen if one simply bought the asset at the defined start date and held it.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Start Date Definition
The script begins by reading an input for the start date. This defines the bar from which the equity curves begin.
Symbol Definitions & Close Price Retrieval
The script allows the user to specify up to ten tickers. For each ticker it uses request.security() on the “1D” timeframe to retrieve the daily close price of that symbol.
Plot Enable Inputs
For each ticker there is an input boolean controlling whether the equity curve for that ticker should be plotted.
Asset Name Cleaning
The helper function clean_name(string asset) => … takes the asset string (e.g., “CRYPTO:SOLUSD”) and manipulates it (via string splitting and replacements) to derive a cleaned short name (e.g., “SOL”). This name is used for visuals (labels, table headers).
Equity Curve Calculation (“HODL”)
The helper function f_HODL(closez) defines a variable equity that assumes a starting equity of 1 unit at the start date and then multiplies by the ratio of each bar’s close to the prior bar’s close: i.e. daily compounding of returns.
Performance Metrics Calculation
The helper function f_performance(closez) calculates, for each symbol’s close series, the percentage change of the current close relative to its close 30 days ago, 90 days ago, 180 days ago, 1 year ago (365 days), 2 years ago (730 days) and 3 years ago (1095 days).
Equity Curve Plots
For each ticker, if the corresponding plot input is true, the script assigns a plotted variable equal to the equity curve value. Its then drawing each selected equity curve on the chart, each in a distinct color.
Table Construction
If the plottable input is true, the script constructs a table and populates it with rows and column corresponding to the assigned tickers and the set 6 timeframes used for display.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Since this is strictly a “buy-and-hold” performance screener, there are no explicit buy or sell signals generated or plotted. The script assumes: buy at the defined start_date, hold continuously to present. There are no filters, no exit logic, no take-profit or stop-loss. The benefit of this approach is to provide a clean benchmark of how selected assets would have performed if one simply adopted a passive “buy & hold” approach from a given start date.
Features and Parameters:
start_date (input.time) : Defines the date from which performance and equity curves begin.
ticker1 … ticker10 (input.symbol) : User-selectable asset symbols to include in the screener.
plot1 … plot10 (input.bool) : Boolean flags to enable/disable plotting of each asset’s equity curve.
plottable (input.bool) : Flag to enable/disable drawing the performance table.
Colored plotting + Labels for identifying each asset curve on the chart.
Specifications:
Here is a detailed breakdown of every calculation/variable/function used in the script and what each part means:
start_date
This is defined via input.time(timestamp("1 Jan 2025"), title = "Start Date"). It allows the user to pick a specific calendar date from which the equity curves and performance calculations will start.
ticker1 … ticker10
These inputs allow the user to select up to ten different assets (symbols) to monitor. The script uses each of these to fetch daily close prices.
plot1 … plot10
Boolean inputs controlling which of the ten asset equity curves are plotted. If plotX is true, the equity curve for ticker X will be visible; otherwise it will be not plotted. This gives the user flexibility to include or exclude specific assets on the chart.
Returns the cleaned asset short name.
This provides friendly text labels like “BTC”, “ETH”, “SOL”, etc., instead of full symbol codes.
The choice of distinct colours for each asset helps differentiate curves visually when multiple assets are overlaid.
Colour definitions
Variables color1…color10 are explicitly defined via color.rgb(r,g,b) to give each asset a unique colour (e.g., red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, etc.).
What are the benefits of combining these calculations?
By computing equity curves for multiple assets from the same start date and overlaying them, you can visualise comparative performance of different assets under a uniform “buy & hold” assumption.
The performance table adds multi-horizon returns (30 D, 90 D, 180 D, 1 Y, 2 Y, 3 Y) which helps the user see both short-term and longer-term performance without having to manually compute returns.
The use of daily close data via request.security(..., "1D") removes dependency on the chart’s timeframe, thereby standardising the comparison across assets.
The equity curve and table together provide both visual (curve) and numerical (table) summaries of performance, making it easier to spot trends, divergences, and cross-asset comparisons at a glance.
Because it uses compounding (equity := equity * (closez / closez )), the curves reflect the real growth of a 1-unit investment held over time, rather than only simple returns.
The labelling of curves and the color-coding make the multi-asset overlay easier to interpret.
Using a clean start date ensures that all curves begin at the same point (1 unit at start_date), making relative performance intuitive.
Because of this, the script is useful as a benchmarking tool: rather than trying to pick entries or exit points, you can simply compare “what if I had held these assets since Jan 1 2025” (or your chosen date), and see which assets out-/under-performed in that period. It helps an investor or trader evaluate the long-term benefits of passive vs. active management, or of allocation decisions.
Please note:
The script assumes continuous daily data and does not account for dividends, fees, slippage, or tax implications.
It does not attempt to optimise timing or provide trading signals.
Returns prior to the start date are ignored (equity only begins once time >= start_date).
For newly listed assets with fewer than 365 or 730 or 1095 days of history, the longer-horizon returns may return na or misleading values.
Because it uses request.security() without specifying lookahead, and on “1D” timeframe, it complies with standard usage but you should verify there is no look-ahead bias in your particular setup.
ENJOY!
DayFlow VWAP Relay Forex Majors StrategySummary in one paragraph
DayFlow VWAP Relay is a day-trading strategy for major FX pairs on intraday timeframes, demonstrated on EURUSD 15 minutes. It waits for alignment between a daily anchored VWAP regime check, residual percentiles, and lower-timeframe micro flow before suggesting trades. The originality is the fusion of daily VWAP residual percentiles with a live micro-flow score from 1 minute data to switch between fade and breakout behavior inside the same session. Add it to a clean chart and use the markers and alerts.
Scope and intent
• Markets: Major FX pairs such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD
• Timeframes: One minute to one hour
• Default demo in this publication: EURUSD on 15 minutes
• Purpose: Reduce false starts by acting only when context, location and micro flow agree
• Limits: This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Core novelty: Residual percentiles to daily anchored VWAP decide “balanced versus expanding day”. A separate 1 minute micro-flow score confirms direction, so the same model fades extremes in balance and rides range breaks in expansion
• Failure modes addressed: Chop fakeouts and unconfirmed breakouts are filtered by the expansion gate and micro-flow threshold
• Testability: Every input is exposed. Bands, background regime color, and markers show why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick: Stops and targets are ATR multiples converted to ticks, which transfer across symbols
• Open source status: No reused third-party code that requires attribution
Method overview in plain language
The day is anchored with a VWAP that updates from the daily session start. Price minus VWAP is the residual. Percentiles of that residual measured over a rolling window define location extremes for the current day. A regime score compares residual volatility to price volatility. When expansion is low, the day is treated as balanced and the model fades residual extremes if 1 minute micro flow points back to VWAP. When expansion is high, the model trades breakouts outside the VWAP bands if slope and micro flow agree with the move.
Base measures
• Range basis: True Range smoothed by ATR for stops and targets, length 14
• Return basis: Not required for signals; residuals are absolute price distance to VWAP
Components
• Daily Anchor VWAP Bands. VWAP with standard-deviation bands. Slope sign is used for trend confirmation on breakouts
• Residual Percentiles. Rolling percentiles of close minus VWAP over Signal length. Identify location extremes inside the day
• Expansion Ratio. Standard deviation of residuals divided by standard deviation of price over Signal length. Classifies balanced versus expanding day
• Micro Flow. Net up minus down closes from 1 minute data across a short span, normalized to −1..+1. Confirms direction and avoids fades against pressure
• Session Window optional. Restricts trading to your configured hours to avoid thin periods
• Cooldown optional. Bars to wait after a position closes to prevent immediate re-entry
Fusion rule
Gating rather than weighting. First choose regime by Expansion Ratio versus the Expansion gate. Inside each regime all listed conditions must be true: location test plus micro-flow threshold plus session window plus cooldown. Breakouts also require VWAP slope alignment.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion on balanced day: residual at or below the lower percentile and micro flow positive above the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied
• Short suggestion on balanced day: residual at or above the upper percentile and micro flow negative below the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied
• Long suggestion on expanding day: close above the upper VWAP band, VWAP slope positive, micro flow positive, session and cooldown satisfied
• Short suggestion on expanding day: close below the lower VWAP band, VWAP slope negative, micro flow negative, session and cooldown satisfied
• Positions flip on opposite suggestions or exit by brackets
What you will see on the chart
• Markers on suggestion bars: L for long, S for short
• Exit occurs on reverse signal or when a bracket order is filled
• Reference lines: daily anchored VWAP with upper and lower bands
• Optional background: teal for balanced day, orange for expanding day
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal length. Residual and regime window. Typical 40 to 100. Higher smooths, lower reacts faster
Micro Flow
• Micro TF. Lower timeframe used for micro flow, default 1 minute
• Micro span bars. Count of lower-TF bars. Typical 5 to 20
• Micro flow gate 0..1. Minimum absolute flow. Raising it demands stronger confirmation and reduces trade count
VWAP Bands
• VWAP stdev multiplier. Band width. Typical 0.8 to 1.6. Wider bands reduce breakout frequency and increase fade distance
• Expansion gate 0..3. Threshold to switch from fades to breakouts. Raising it favors fades, lowering it favors breakouts
Sessions
• Use session filter. Enable to trade only inside your window
• Trade window UTC. Default 07:00 to 17:00
Risk
• ATR length. Stop and target basis. Typical 10 to 21
• Stop ATR x. Initial stop distance in ATR multiples
• Target ATR x. Profit target distance in ATR multiples
• Cooldown bars after close. Wait bars before a new entry
• Side. Both, long only, or short only
View
• Show VWAP and bands
• Color bars by residual regime
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital 10000
• Base currency Default
• request.security uses lookahead off everywhere
• Strategy: Percent of equity with value 3. Pyramiding 0. Commission cash per order 0.0001 USD. Slippage 3 ticks. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier ON. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick OFF. Using standard OHLC fills ON.
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategies must run on standard candles for signals and orders.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact news, session opens, and thin liquidity can invalidate assumptions. Very quiet days can reduce contrast between residuals and price volatility. Session windows use the chart exchange time. If both stop and target are touched within a single bar, TradingView’s standard OHLC price-movement model decides the outcome.
Expect different behavior on illiquid pairs or during holidays. The model is sensitive to session definitions and feed time. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.

PM Range Breaker [CHE] PM Range Breaker — Premarket bias with first-five range breaks, optional SWDEMA regime latch, and simple two-times-range targets
Summary
This indicator sets a once-per-day directional bias during New York premarket and then tracks a strict first-five-minutes range from the session open. After the first five complete, it marks clean breakouts and can project targets at two times the measured range. A second mode latches an EMA-based regime to inform the bias and optional background tinting. A compact panel reports live state, first-five levels, and rolling hit rates of both bias modes using a user-defined midday close for statistics.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday traders often get whipsawed by early noise or by fast flips in trend filters. This script commits to a bias at a single premarket minute and then waits for the market to present an objective structure: the first-five range. Breaks after that window are clearer and easier to manage. The alternative SWDEMA regime gives a slower, latched context for users who prefer a trend scaffold rather than a midpoint reference.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Typical open-range-breakout lines or a single moving-average filter without daily commitment.
Architecture differences:
Bias decision at a fixed New York time using either a midpoint lookback (“Classic”) or a two-EMA regime latch (“SWDEMA”).
Strict five-minute window from session open; breakout shapes print only after that window.
Single-shot breakout direction per session (debounce) and optional two-times-range targets.
On-chart panel with hit rates using a configurable midday close for statistics.
Practical effect: Cleaner visuals, fewer repeated signals, and a traceable daily decision that can be evaluated over time.
How it works (technical)
Time handling uses New York session times for premarket decision, open, first-five end, and a midday statistics checkpoint.
Classic bias: A midpoint is computed from the highest and lowest over a user period; at the premarket minute, the bias is set long when the close is above the midpoint, short otherwise.
SWDEMA bias: Two EMAs define a regime score that requires price and trend agreement; when both agree on a confirmed bar, the regime latches. At the premarket minute, the daily bias is set from the current regime.
The first-five range captures high and low from open until the end minute, then freezes. Breakouts are detected after that window using close-based cross logic.
The script draws range lines and optional targets at two times the frozen range. A session break direction latch prevents duplicate break markers.
Statistics compare daily open and a configurable midday close to record if the chosen bias aligned with the move.
Optional elements include EMA lines, midpoint line, latched-regime background, and regime switch markers.
Data aggregation for day logic and the first-five window is sampled on one-minute data with explicit lookahead off. On charts above one minute, values update intra-bar until the underlying minute closes.

Sources (Blue/Red) — Price sources — Defaults: Close and HLC3 — Adjust if you prefer consistency.
Offsets (Blue/Red) — Pixel offsets for EMA plots — Defaults: zero — Use only for visual shift.
Show Latched Regime Background — Background by SWDEMA regime — Default: Off — Separate from session bias.
Latched Background Transparency — Opacity of regime background — Default: eighty-eight — Lower value for stronger tint.
Show Latch Switch Markers — Plot regime change markers — Default: Off — For auditing regime changes.
Bias Mode — Classic midpoint or SWDEMA latch — Default: Classic — Choose per your style.
Background Mode — Session bias or SWDEMA regime — Default: Session — Decide which background narrative you want.
Reading & Interpretation
Panel: Shows the active bias, first-five high and low, and a state that reads Building during the window, Ready once frozen, and Break arrows when a breakout occurs. Hit rates show the percentage of days where each bias mode aligned with the midday move.
Colors and shapes: Green background implies long bias; red implies short bias. Triangle markers denote the first valid breakout after the first-five window. Optional regime markers flag regime changes.
Lines: First-five high and low form the core structure. Optional targets mark a level at two times the frozen range from the breakout side.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Choose a bias mode. Wait for the first clean breakout after the first-five window in the direction of the bias. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows.
Exits and risk: Conservative users can trail behind the opposite side of the first-five range. Aggressive users can scale near the two-times-range target.
Multi-asset and multi-TF: Works well on intraday timeframes from one minute upward. For non-US sessions, adjust the time inputs to the instrument’s regular trading hours.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Bias and regime decisions use confirmed bars. Breakout signals evaluate on bar close at the chart timeframe. On higher timeframes, minute-based sources update within the live bar until the minute closes.
security and HTF: The script samples one-minute data. Lookahead is off. Values stabilize once the source minute closes.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is five thousand. Drawing objects and the panel update efficiently, with position extensions handled on the last bar.
Known limits: Midday statistics use the configured time, not the official daily close. Session logic assumes New York session timing. Targets are simple multiples of the first-five range and do not adapt to volatility beyond that structure.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with Classic bias, midpoint lookback at three hundred, and all visuals on.
Too many flips in context → switch to SWDEMA mode or increase EMA lengths.
Breakouts feel noisy → extend the first-five end by a minute or two, or wait for a retest by your own rules.
Too sluggish → reduce midpoint lookback or shorten EMA lengths.
Chart cluttered → hide EMA or midpoint lines and keep only range levels and breakout shapes.

Style: You can set the line color and style (dotted, dashed, solid).
Maximum Number of Lines Displayed: You can control the number of previously drawn lines to retain (consumes two lines per set).
💡 Daily Chart Specific Filter
When viewing a daily chart, this filter hides all past weekly lines and displays only the most recent two (the lines for the following week and the week after). This significantly reduces the visual noise on the daily chart.
3. Daily Look-Ahead Lines
These lines predict the start times of the next and the day after tomorrow from the time the current bar is determined, and are drawn as vertical lines on the chart.
Display Control/Style: As with weekly lines, you can set the visibility, color, and style of lines.
Maximum Number of Lines Displayed: You can control the number of previously drawn lines to retain (consumes two lines per set).
4. Master Timeframe Filter
This is a master ON/OFF switch that centrally manages the automatic hiding of both weekly and daily lines except for the appropriate timeframe.
Auto-hide Daily Lines: When displaying a chart with a timeframe greater than the line's base timeframe, such as a daily, weekly, or monthly chart, the daily lines will be automatically hidden.
Auto-hide Weekly Lines: When displaying a weekly or monthly chart, the weekly lines will be automatically hidden.
This feature allows you to clearly see the leading lines when analyzing shorter timeframes, while preventing the chart from becoming cluttered with lines when switching to longer timeframes (daily or longer).

CHAN CRYPTO RS🩷 ATR RS (Crypto / High-based 2.1x, Decimal Safe v2)
This indicator is designed for crypto position sizing and stop calculation using ATR-based risk management. It helps traders automatically determine the stop price, per-unit risk, and optimal position size based on a fixed risk amount in USDT.
🔧 Core Logic
ATR Length (Daily RMA) — calculates the daily Average True Range (ATR) using RMA smoothing.
ATR Multiplier (2.1× default) — defines how far the stop is placed from the daily high.
Stop Price (for Longs) = Daily High − ATR × Multiplier
Per-Unit Risk = (Entry − Stop) × Point Value
Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Per-Unit Risk
Automatically handles decimal precision for micro-priced crypto assets (e.g., PEPE, SHIB).
Includes safeguards for minimum size and maximum position caps.
💡 Features
Uses Daily ATR without lookahead (no repainting).
Dynamically switches between current and previous ATR for stable results when the daily bar isn’t yet confirmed.
“Snap to tick” ensures stop prices align with the symbol’s tick size.
Table display summarizes ATR, stop price, per-unit risk, total risk, size, and bet amount.
Optional stop label on the chart for visual clarity.

Free Stock ScreenerMissing great trade opportunities is annoying, and unless you have 12 screens or only trade one market, you are missing a lot of trades. To fix that, we created this free stock screener so you get notified instantly of potential great trading conditions in real time, right on your chart.
You get notified of trading benchmarks being met by the value being displayed on the scanner as well as a color change so that it grabs your attention and makes you aware that you should take a look at the other market and look for a potential trade. It also has built in alerts so you can have an alert notification go off when any of your trading conditions are met instead of needing to watch the scanner for color changes.
The screener will change the ticker symbol background color to red green when price is above or below the previous daily range and above or below both VWAPs. This signals that the ticker is trending, which typically means it is a great time to trade that market and follow the trend.
This free stock screener allows you to scan up to 10 different markets at the same time for various different conditions so you always know what is going on with your favorite trading symbols. If you want to scan more tickers, just add the indicator to your chart again and change the table position to the other side of the screen and update the tickers on the 2nd screener, allowing you to have 20 tickers at a time.
The scanner can be fully customized by changing the markets that it screens and turning on or off as many of them as you would like. You can also turn on or off any of the different data sets so that you only get information about trading conditions that matter to you.
The screener can provide data on any type of market, such as stocks, crypto, futures, forex and more. Each ticker can be adjusted to whatever market you would like it to scan for data in the settings panel, the only limitation is that it will not provide data for the VWAP and volume trend score if the ticker you are screening does not provide volume data.
Screener Features
The scanner will provide the following types of data for each ticker that is turned on:
Volume - Provides a volume score compared to the average volume and notifies you of higher than normal volume and volume spikes on individual bars by changing colors.
Volatility - Provides a volatility score compared to the average volatility and notifies you of higher than normal volatility by changing colors.
Oscillator - Choose between the RSI or CCI. The value of that oscillator will be displayed and will notify you when values are in extreme ranges such as overbought or oversold conditions according to the threshold values you enter in the settings panel. When those thresholds have been breached, you will be notified by it changing color.
Big Candles - Compares the current candle to average previous candle sizes, and changes color to notify you of big candles including a big top wick, big bottom wick, big candle body and big candle high to low range.
Daily Level Touches & Trends - Calculates and displays various daily candle and intraday open price levels that act as support and resistance. Notifies you when price is touching any of the daily levels that are turned on. The levels you can have on are as follows: previous day high, previous day low or previous day open. It also will notify you when price is touching the current day’s open, NY 930am open, Asia 8pm open, London 2am open and NY midnight 12am open. It will also say “Above” if price is above the previous day’s high or it will say “Below” if price is below the previous day’s low. The color of the cell will also change when a level touch is happening or price is above the previous day high or below the previous day low.
VWAP - Choose from 2 different VWAP lengths, default settings are daily and weekly VWAPs. You will get notified if price touches either of the VWAPs and they will also say “Above” or “Below” if price is currently above or below each VWAP.
How To Use The Screener To Help You Trade
The main purpose of the screener is to scan other markets and notify you of potential good trading opportunities such as price bouncing off of the daily levels or VWAPs. It can also be used to know when price is trending according to the VWAPs and daily levels. Lastly, you can use it to know how the volume and volatility trends are currently which gives you more confidence in taking a trade with this data when volume and volatility are present.
Volume Score
When volume is high, this represents a good time to trade because there are many market participants and price is likely to be volatile while there is high volume which can present a lot of good trade setups for you to take.
The volume score shown on the screener measures the current volume trend compared to previous volume trends and calculates that into a score based on 100 being the same as the previous volume trend. So any value above 100 means it is high volume and any value less than 100 means it is lower volume than normal.
In the settings panel, you can adjust the volume threshold that needs to be met for a volume notification to show up. The default setting is at 120, so you will get notified when the current volume trend score is 120 or higher or you can adjust that threshold value to whatever value you prefer.
It also will notify you when there is a volume spike on the current bar. This is determined by calculating an average of the recent volume totals and then checking to see if the current bar is greater than or equal to that average multiplied by 3. So if a single bar has volume that is greater than 3 times what the average volume is, then you will get a notification that says “Spike” to make you aware of that volume spike.
The volume trend threshold, volume spike multiplier and lookback length for the average volume used in volume spike calculations can all be adjusted in the settings panel to fit your desired preferences.
Volatility Score
High volatility can mean it is a great time to trade because the market is moving quickly and providing large enough movements that you can get in and out in a short amount of time, while still accruing decent sized trade PnL.
The volatility score will calculate the current volatility for each market compared to previous conditions and then divide the current volatility by the average volatility to give you a volatility score. Anything over 100 means the market is decently volatile and you should look at that market to find potential trade setups to execute on. Anything below 100 means the market is not very volatile and it is usually best to just wait until volatility returns before you start trading again.
The screener will notify you when the volatility score is above the threshold you set. The default value is set to 90, but can be adjusted to your preference. Pay attention to any market that shows an alert and take a look at that chart because the high volatility may present a good trade setup for you in the near future.
Oscillator Score
The oscillator data can be switched between Relative Strength Index(RSI) and Commodity Channel Index(CCI).
The RSI provides a value between 0 and 100 that indicates the momentum and strength of the recent price action. Many traders use the extremes of the 0-100 range to signal overbought or oversold conditions and use that as a sign to look for price to reverse in the near future. The typical values used for this and the default settings to provide notifications are: 70 for overbought and 30 for oversold. The scanner will notify you when the RSI value is considered overbought or oversold so you know to take a look at the chart and analyze if it is ready for a trade to be taken.
The CCI provides a value that can be used to determine the trend strength of the underlying asset when the oscillator moves above 100 or below -100. These extreme values are outside of the normal accumulation range and signify that price is moving strongly in that direction so it may be a good time to take a trade in the direction of the trend. The scanner will show you the value of the CCI for each market and notify you if that value is above 100 or below -100.
Both RSI and CCI settings can be adjusted in the settings panel to your desired settings so you have the exact oscillator settings you prefer to use as well as the exact values that you want to use for being notified.
Big Candles
Big candles can mean that many traders are buying or selling at the same time and many times indicate a good signal to trade in that same direction. That is why we included this calculation in the screener, so you are always aware when a large candle prints.
It calculates the average size of the recent candles and then uses that average as the benchmark to determine if the current candle is considered big and worthy of notifying you to take a look at that chart.
You can adjust the multiplier used for the big candle threshold to whatever you desire, but the default setting is 3 which means the candle will be considered big and notify you if it is 3 times as large as an average candle.
The big candles data will track the following candle values and notify you with these labels:
High to Low candle size = HL
Candle Body from open to close candle size = OC
Top Wick size = TW
Bottom Wick size = BW
Daily Level Touches & Trend
Daily level touches are excellent levels to watch for price to bounce because they often act as support and resistance levels for intraday trading. The scanner will track each market and notify you when the current candle is touching any of the daily levels that you have turned on in the settings panel.
The main levels that are turned on by default and are useful for all markets and how they will be labeled on the scanner are as follows:
Previous Day High = High
Previous Day Low = Low
Previous Day Open = < Open
Previous Day Close = Close
Current Day Open = Open
We also included some extra levels that are useful for futures traders. They are as follows:
NY 930am Open = 930am
NY 12am Midnight Open = 12am
Asia Open at 8pm NY time = Asia
London Open at 2am NY Time = London
Watch how price reacts to these levels and then trade the bounces off of these levels if the price action confirms that it is going to respect that level.
When price is currently above the previous day high, the scanner will say “Above” and show a green color, indicating a bullish trend and that price is above the previous daily candle’s high.
When price is currently below the previous day low, the scanner will say “Below” and show a red color, indicating a bearish trend and that price is below the previous daily candle’s low.
Pay attention to when price is trending above or below the previous daily candle as those trends can provide excellent trend trading opportunities.
The daily levels that you have turned on in the settings will also show as lines on the chart and include a label next to them, identifying each level so you know what each line represents. You can turn on or off all of the lines shown on the chart in the main settings or turn them off one by one in the style panel of the settings. Labels can also be turned on or off for all of the lines in the main settings panel. You can adjust the label positioning in the Label Offset section of the settings panel.
VWAP Touches & Trend
VWAP stands for volume weighted average price and is a very popular tool that traders use to determine trend direction based on volume as well as an excellent level to trade price bounces off of.
The typical VWAP time period used is Daily, which means the volume weighted average price will reset at the beginning of a new day. We set the first VWAP to be the daily VWAP by default and the second one to be the weekly VWAP. You can adjust both of the time periods to be any of the provided time lengths that you choose.
The screener will show “Above” with a green background color when price is above the VWAP, indicating a bullish trend. It will show “Below” with a red background color when price is below the VWAP, indicating a bearish trend. When both VWAPs are showing Above or Below, you can expect price to trend in that direction, so look for pullbacks you can trade in the direction of the trend. If the VWAPs are showing different directions, then you should expect to bounce back and forth between the VWAPs, but be careful and watch out for price to break beyond either one and start a trend.
When the current candle is touching the VWAP, the scanner will change colors and say VWAP to notify you that price is touching the VWAP and you should look at that chart and analyze the market for a potential bounce off of the VWAP to trade.
Trending Market Signals
Strong trends are excellent markets to trade and can many times provide excellent trading opportunities that don’t require expert price action reading skills to be able to take winning trades from. That is why we included a signal to notify you of a strong trending market.
The strong trending market will show up as a green or red background color for the ticker name. If the color of the ticker name is green, it is notifying you that the price is above the previous daily high, above VWAP 1 and above VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bullish trend trades. If the color of the ticker name is red, it is notifying you that the price is below the previous daily low, below VWAP 1 and below VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bearish trend trades.
Changing The Tickers It Scans
To change the tickers that the indicator scans, scroll near the bottom of the settings panel and select the ticker symbol you want to update and then search for the exact symbol you want to use. If you want to scan less tickers, then just turn some of the tickers off that you don’t need.
Scanning More Than 10 Tickers
If you want to scan more than 10 tickers, you can add the scanner to your chart again and then just change the table position to the other side of the screen. This will allow you to scan 10 more tickers that will show up separately. Then if you want even more, just add the indicator to your chart again and update the table position until you have as many markets as you want. The table position setting can be found at the bottom of the main settings panel.
Alerts
The screener has alerts that can be used to notify you when any of the data set thresholds have been met or if price is touching one of the levels. You can set alerts for the following events:
Bullish Trend Alert - Price is above the previous daily high and above both VWAPs.
Bearish Trend Alert - Price is below the previous daily low and below both VWAPs.
High Volume Alert - Volume is higher than the threshold or a volume spike is detected.
High Volatility Alert - Volatility is higher than the threshold.
Oscillator Is Extended Alert - Oscillator value has exceeded the upper or lower threshold.
Big Candle Alert - A big candle has been detected.
Daily Level Touch Alert - One of the daily levels that is turned on is being touched.
VWAP Touch Alert - One of the 2 VWAPs are being touched.
An alert will trigger when any one of tickers on your scanner meets the alert conditions, so when you see the alert, you will need to go to your chart and look at the scanner to see which ticker it was and then navigate to that chart to look for potential trade setups.
The alerts will use the exact same settings you have configured in the settings panel to send you alert notifications. With normal settings, this could give you a lot of alerts, so if you only want alerts to fire when abnormal conditions are being met, try setting up a second screener on your chart that has very high threshold values and only has the most important level touches on. Then turn the setting "Do Not Show The Screener On The Chart" to off so the calculations will still run and fire alerts, but won't clog up your charts. This way you can only get alert notifications when major events happen but still have your normal screener settings available on your chart.
Markets This Can Be Used On
This screener uses the price action and volume data so you can use it to scan any type of market you would like as long as the ticker you are scanning has price and volume data feeds. If a market does not have volume data, then it will just show NaN in the volume row and the VWAP rows will not show anything.
Candle Body Break (M/W/D/4H/1H)v5# Candle Body Break (M/W/D/4H/1H) Multi-Timeframe Indicator
This indicator identifies and plots **Candle Body Breaks** across five key timeframes: Monthly (M), Weekly (W), Daily (D), 4-Hour (4H), and 1-Hour (1H).
## Core Logic: Candle Body Break
The core concept is a break in the swing high/low defined by the body of the previous counter-trend candle(s). It focuses purely on **closing price breaks** of remembered highs/lows established by full candle bodies (close > open or close < open).
1. **Remembering the Swing:**
* After a bullish break (upward trend), the indicator waits for the first **bearish (close < open) candle** to appear. This bearish candle's high (`rememberedHigh`) and low (`rememberedLow`) are saved as the **breakout level**.
* Subsequent bearish candles that make a new low update this saved level, continuously adjusting the level to the most significant recent resistance/support established by the body's range.
2. **Executing the Break:**
* **Bull Break (Long signal):** Occurs when a **bullish candle's closing price** exceeds the last remembered bearish high (`rememberedHigh`).
* **Bear Break (Short signal):** Occurs when a **bearish candle's closing price** falls below the last remembered bullish low (`rememberedLow_Bull`).
Once a break occurs, the memory is cleared, and the indicator waits for the next counter-trend candle to establish a new level.
## Features
* **Multi-Timeframe Analysis:** Displays break lines and labels for M, W, D, 4H, and 1H timeframes on any chart.
* **Timeframe Filtering:** Break lines are only shown for timeframes **equal to or higher** than the current chart timeframe (e.g., on a 4H chart, only 4H, D, W, and M breaks are displayed).
* **Candidate Lines (Dotted Green):** Plots the current potential breakout level (the remembered high/low) that must be broken to trigger the next signal.
* **Direction Table:** A table in the top right corner summarizes the latest break direction (⇧ Up / ⇩ Down) for all five timeframes. This can be optionally limited to the 4H chart only.
* **1H Alert:** Triggers an alert when a 1-Hour break is detected.

このロジックの中核は、直近の**逆行ろうそく足（カウンター・トレンド・キャンドル）**の実体によって定義されたスイングの高値/安値のブレイクです。終値が実体のレンジ外で確定することを純粋に追跡します。
スイングの記憶（Remembering the Swing）:
強気のブレイク（上昇トレンド）の後、インジケーターは最初に現れる弱気（終値＜始値）のろうそく足を待ちます。この弱気ろうそく足の高値（rememberedHigh）と安値（rememberedLow）が、ブレイクアウトレベルとして保存されます。
その後、安値を更新する弱気ろうそく足が続いた場合、この保存されたレベルが更新され、実体のレンジによって確立された最新の重要なレジスタンス/サポートにレベルが継続的に調整されます。
ブレイクの実行（Executing the Break）:
ブルブレイク（買いシグナル）: 最後に記憶された弱気ろうそく足の高値（rememberedHigh）を、強気ろうそく足の終値が上回ったときに発生します。
ベアブレイク（売りシグナル）: 最後に記憶された強気ろうそく足の安値（rememberedLow_Bull）を、弱気ろうそく足の終値が下回ったときに発生します。
一度ブレイクが発生すると、記憶されたレベルはクリアされ、インジケーターは次の逆行ろうそく足が出現し、新しいレベルを確立するのを待ちます。
機能
マルチタイムフレーム分析: 現在のチャートの時間足に関わらず、M、W、D、4H、1Hのブレイクラインとラベルを表示します。
時間足フィルタリング: ブレイクラインは、現在のチャート時間足と同じか、それよりも上位の時間足のもののみが表示されます（例：4時間足チャートでは、4H、D、W、Mのブレイクのみが表示されます）。
候補ライン（緑の点線）: 次のシグナルをトリガーするためにブレイクされる必要がある、現在の潜在的なブレイクアウトレベル（記憶された高値/安値）をプロットします。
方向テーブル: 右上隅のテーブルに、5つの全時間足の最新のブレイク方向（⇧ 上昇 / ⇩ 下降）をまとめて表示します。これは、オプションで4時間足チャートのみに表示するように制限できます。
1時間足アラート: 1時間足のブレイクが検出されたときにアラートをトリガーします。

India VIX Based Nifty/BankNifty Range Calculator (Auto Fetch)VIX-Based Expected Daily Range (Auto Volatility Forecast)
Created by: Harshiv Symposium
📖 Purpose
This indicator automatically fetches the India VIX value and calculates the expected daily price range for major Indian indices such as Nifty and BankNifty.
It helps traders understand how much the market is likely to move today based on current volatility conditions.
Designed for educational and analytical awareness, not for signals or profit-making systems.
⚙️ Core Logic
Expected Daily Move (Range) = (India VIX × Current Index Price) ÷ Multiplier
- Multiplier for Nifty: 1000
- Multiplier for BankNifty: 700
This calculation projects the 1-standard-deviation (≈ 68% probability) and 2-standard-deviation (≈ 95% probability) movement zones for the day.
📊 Example
If India VIX = 15 and Nifty = 25,000:
Expected Move ≈ (15 × 25,000) ÷ 1000 = 375 points
Hence,
- 68% Range: 24,625 – 25,375
- 95% Range: 24,250 – 25,750
This gives traders a realistic idea of daily volatility boundaries.
🧭 Key Features
✅ Auto-Fetch India VIX
No need for manual input — automatically pulls live data from NSE:INDIAVIX.
✅ Dynamic Range Visualization
Plots upper/lower boundaries for 1σ and 2σ probability zones with shaded expected-move area.
✅ Dashboard Panel
Displays:
- Current VIX
- Expected Move (in points and %)
- Upper and Lower Ranges
✅ Smart Alerts
Alerts when price crosses upper or lower volatility range — potential breakout signal.
🎯 How It Helps
Intraday Traders:
Know the likely daily movement (e.g., ±220 pts on Nifty) and plan realistic targets or stops.
Options Traders:
Quickly assess whether it’s a seller-friendly (low VIX, small range) or buyer-friendly (high VIX, large range) session.
Risk Managers:
Use volatility context for stop-loss width and position sizing.
Breakout Traders:
If price breaks beyond the 2σ range → indicates potential volatility expansion.
