This isn't just another indicator that tells you what has happened. This is a comprehensive analysis tool that learns from historical price action to forecast the most probable future structure. It combines advanced pattern recognition with essential trading concepts to give you a unique analytical edge.
Key Features
The Predictive Engine (The Crystal Ball)
This is the core of the indicator. It doesn't just identify market structure; it predicts it.
Know the Odds: Get a real-time probability score (%) for the next structural point: Higher High (HH), Higher Low (HL), Lower Low (LL), or Lower High (LH).
Advanced Analysis: The engine considers the pattern sequence, the speed (velocity) of the move, and its size to find the most accurate historical matches.
Dynamic Learning: The indicator constantly updates its analysis as new price data comes in.
The All-in-One Dashboard
Your command center for at-a-glance information. No need to clutter your screen!
Market Phase: Instantly know if the market is in a "🚀 Strong Uptrend," "📉 Steady Downtrend," or "↔️ Consolidation."
Live Probabilities: See the updated forecasts for HH, HL, LL, and LH in a clean, easy-to-read format.
Confidence Level: The dashboard tells you how confident the algorithm is in its current prediction (Low, Medium, or High).
🎯 Dynamic Prediction Zones
Turn probabilities into actionable price areas.
Visual Targets: Based on the highest probability outcome, the indicator draws a target zone on your chart where the next structure point is likely to form.
Context-Aware: These zones are calculated using recent volatility and average swing sizes, making them adaptive to the current market conditions.
🔍 Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector
Automatically identify and track key price imbalances.
Price Magnets: FVGs are automatically detected and drawn, acting as potential targets for price.
Smart Tracking: The indicator tracks the status of each FVG (Fresh, Partially Filled, or Filled) and uses this data to refine its predictions.
🌍 Trading Session Analysis
Never lose track of key session levels again.
Visualize Sessions: See the Asia, London, and New York sessions highlighted with colored backgrounds.
Key Levels: Automatically plots the high and low of each session, which are often critical support and resistance levels.
Breakout Alerts: Get notified when price breaks a session high or low.
📈 Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Context
Understand the bigger picture by integrating higher timeframe analysis directly onto your chart.
BOS & MSS: Automatically identifies Breaks of Structure (trend continuation) and Market Structure Shifts (potential reversals) from up to two higher timeframes.
Trade with the Trend: Align your intraday trades with the dominant trend for higher probability setups.
⚙️ How It Works in Simple Terms
1️⃣ It Learns: The indicator first identifies all the past swing points (HH, HL, LL, LH) and analyzes their characteristics (speed, size, etc.).
2️⃣ It Finds a Match: It looks at the most recent price action and searches through hundreds of historical bars to find moments that were almost identical.
3️⃣ It Analyzes the Outcome: It checks what happened next in those similar historical scenarios.
4️⃣ It Predicts: Based on that historical data, it calculates the probability of each potential outcome and presents it to you.
🚀 How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading
Confirmation Tool: Use a high probability score (e.g., >60% for a HH) to confirm your own bullish analysis before entering a trade.
Finding High-Probability Zones: Use the Prediction Zones as potential areas to take profit, or as reversal zones to watch for entries in the opposite direction.
Gauging Market Sentiment: Check the "Market Phase" on the dashboard. Avoid forcing trades when the indicator shows "😴 Low Volatility."
Confluence is Key: This indicator is incredibly powerful when combined with your existing strategy. Use it alongside supply/demand zones, moving averages, or RSI for ultimate confirmation.
We hope this tool gives you a powerful new perspective on the market. Dive into the settings to customize it to your liking!

EAOBS by MIGVersion 1
1. Strategy Overview Objective: Capitalize on breakout movements in Ethereum (ETH) price after the Asian open pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) by identifying high and low prices during the session and trading breakouts above the high or below the low.
Timeframe: Any (script is timeframe-agnostic, but align with session timing).
Session: Pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST, adjustable for other time zones, e.g., 12:00 AM–12:59 AM GMT).
Risk-Reward Ratios (R:R): Targets range from 1.2:1 to 5.2:1, with a fixed stop loss.
Instrument: Ethereum (ETH/USD or ETH-based pairs).
2. Market Setup Session Monitoring: Monitor ETH price action during the pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST), which aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., 9:00 AM–9:59 AM JST).
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low during this session.
Breakout Triggers: Buy Signal: Price breaks above the session’s high after the session ends (7:59 PM EST).
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the session’s low after the session ends.
Visualization: The session is highlighted on the chart with a white background.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the session’s high and low, extended for 30 bars, along with take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
3. Entry Rules Long (Buy) Entry: Enter a long position when the price breaks above the session’s high price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just above the session high (e.g., add a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%, to avoid false breakouts, depending on volatility).
Short (Sell) Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the session’s low price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just below the session low (e.g., subtract a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%).
Confirmation: Use a candlestick close above/below the breakout level to confirm the entry.
Optionally, add volume confirmation or a momentum indicator (e.g., RSI or MACD) to filter out weak breakouts.
Position Size: Calculate position size based on risk tolerance (e.g., 1–2% of account per trade).
Risk is determined by the stop-loss distance (10 points, as defined in the script).
4. Exit Rules Take-Profit Levels (in points, based on script inputs):TP1: 12 points (1.2:1 R:R).
TP2: 22 points (2.2:1 R:R).
TP3: 32 points (3.2:1 R:R).
TP4: 42 points (4.2:1 R:R).
TP5: 52 points (5.2:1 R:R).
Example for Long: If session high is 3000, TP levels are 3012, 3022, 3032, 3042, 3052.
Example for Short: If session low is 2950, TP levels are 2938, 2928, 2918, 2908, 2898.
Strategy: Scale out of the position (e.g., close 20% at TP1, 20% at TP2, etc.) or take full profit at a preferred TP level based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss: Fixed at 10 points from the entry.
Long SL: Session high - 10 points (e.g., entry at 3000, SL at 2990).
Short SL: Session low + 10 points (e.g., entry at 2950, SL at 2960).
Trailing Stop (Optional):After reaching TP2 or TP3, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits (e.g., trail by 10–15 points below the current price).
5. Risk Management per Trade: Limit risk to 1–2% of your trading account per trade.
Calculate position size: Account Size × Risk % ÷ (Stop-Loss Distance × ETH Price per Point).
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. If SL = 10 points and 1 point = $1, position size = $100 ÷ 10 = 0.1 ETH.
Daily Risk Limit: Cap daily losses at 3–5% of the account to avoid overtrading.
Maximum Exposure: Avoid taking both long and short positions simultaneously unless using separate accounts or strategies.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust position size during high-volatility periods (e.g., major news events like Ethereum upgrades or macroeconomic announcements).
6. Trade Management Monitoring :Watch for breakouts after 7:59 PM EST.
Monitor price action near TP and SL levels using alerts or manual checks.
Trade Duration: Breakout lines extend for 30 bars (script parameter). Close trades if no TP or SL is hit within this period, or reassess based on market conditions.
Adjustments: If the market shows strong momentum, consider holding beyond TP5 with a trailing stop.
If the breakout fails (e.g., price reverses before TP1), exit early to minimize losses.
7. Additional Considerations Market Conditions: The 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST session aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., Tokyo Stock Exchange open at 9:00 AM JST), which may introduce higher volatility due to Asian trading activity.
Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or extreme volatility (e.g., major crypto news).
Check for upcoming events (e.g., Ethereum network upgrades, ETF decisions) that could impact price.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical ETH data using the session high/low breakouts for the 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST window to validate performance.
Adjust TP/SL levels based on backtest results if needed.
Broker and Fees: Use a low-fee crypto exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro) to maximize R:R.
Account for trading fees and slippage in your position sizing.
Time zone Adjustment: Adjust session time input for your time zone (e.g., "0000-0059" for GMT).
Ensure your trading platform’s clock aligns with the script’s time zone (default: America/New_York).
8. Example Trade Scenario: Session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) records a high of 3050 and a low of 3000.
Long Trade: Entry: Price breaks above 3050 (e.g., enter at 3051).
TP Levels: 3063 (TP1), 3073 (TP2), 3083 (TP3), 3093 (TP4), 3103 (TP5).
SL: 3040 (3050 - 10).
Position Size: For a $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. SL = 11 points ($11). Size = $100 ÷ 11 = ~0.09 ETH.
Short Trade: Entry: Price breaks below 3000 (e.g., enter at 2999).
TP Levels: 2987 (TP1), 2977 (TP2), 2967 (TP3), 2957 (TP4), 2947 (TP5).
SL: 3010 (3000 + 10).
Position Size: Same as above, ~0.09 ETH.
Execution: Set alerts for breakouts, enter with limit orders, and monitor TPs/SL.
9. Tools and Setup Platform: Use TradingView to implement the Pine Script and visualize breakout levels.
Alerts: Set price alerts for breakouts above the session high or below the session low after 7:59 PM EST.
Set alerts for TP and SL levels.
Chart Settings: Use a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for precise session tracking.
Overlay the script to see high/low lines, TP levels, and SL levels.
Optional Indicators: Add RSI (e.g., avoid overbought/oversold breakouts) or volume to confirm breakouts.
10. Risk Warnings Crypto Volatility: ETH is highly volatile; unexpected news can cause rapid price swings.
False Breakouts: Breakouts may fail, especially in low-volume sessions. Use confirmation signals.
Leverage: Avoid high leverage (e.g., >5x) to prevent liquidation during volatile moves.
Session Accuracy: Ensure correct session timing for your time zone to avoid misaligned entries.
11. Performance Tracking Journaling :Record each trade’s entry, exit, R:R, and outcome.
Note market conditions (e.g., trending, ranging, news-driven).
Review: Weekly: Assess win rate, average R:R, and adherence to the plan.
Monthly: Adjust TP/SL or session timing based on performance.
X OROverview
Designed to plot hourly opening ranges (ORs) on an intraday chart. It primarily serves as a trading tool for assessing market direction and potential trading opportunities by analyzing price action relative to key OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) levels within each hourly range.
The code provided is for each hour sessions from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a complete session-based framework. In addition there is the RTH open range
Purpose
The core purpose of this indicator is to:
✅ Define each hourly range (based on the session’s opening bar) by recording the high and low of that range.
✅ Extend this range into the following bars for visual reference — serving as dynamic support and resistance zones.
✅ Monitor price action relative to each hourly OR, helping traders evaluate market direction and structure trades using concepts like:
Breakouts above/below the OR high/low.
Rejections or consolidations within the OR.
Continuation or reversal signals tied to each OR.
Key Features
The script marks the first bar of the session as the OR session start.
During this bar, it initializes:
Opening price
Session high
Session low
These levels form the initial range.
🔹 Dynamic Range Tracking
Throughout the one-minute OR session:
The highest and lowest prices are updated in real time, capturing intra-hour volatility.
A visual background box is drawn to highlight the OR range on the chart.
🔹 Range Extension
The script defines an extended session period after the initial OR (e.g., 2:00 AM-2:45 AM for the 2:00 AM session).
During this extension period:
The box persists on the chart, providing a contextual zone that traders can use as a dynamic support/resistance area.
🔹 Visual Representation
Transparent colored boxes highlight each session’s OR visually on the chart.
These boxes help traders easily identify whether price is trading:
Inside the OR
Breaking above the high (potential bullish continuation)
Breaking below the low (potential bearish continuation)
Application in Trading
🔍 Trading the Opening Range Breakout
Traders often use the OR high and low as breakout triggers. For example:
A price break above the OR high may signal bullish momentum.
A break below the OR low may signal bearish momentum.
⚖️ Support and Resistance
Even if breakouts fail, the OR can act as a pivot zone — offering areas for:
Stop placements
Target levels
Entry confirmations for fade trades or mean reversion strategies.
🕒 Session Awareness
By defining each hour’s OR individually (from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM), traders can:
Analyze price behavior within each session.
Recognize when liquidity or volatility increases (e.g. around overlapping sessions like London open or New York open).
Summary
This Pine Script indicator provides a powerful framework for visualizing and trading hourly opening ranges. It enhances intraday analysis by:
Structuring price action within hourly boxes.
Highlighting key price levels relative to OHLC concepts.
Helping traders make more informed decisions by assessing price behavior around these critical ranges.
RTH Session Range Position (0-100) with EMAA Pine Script indicator designed to help traders understand where the current price is located within the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session range, from 0 (session low) to 100 (session high). It also plots a smoothed EMA of this position to provide insight into momentum or trend during the RTH session.
What the Indicator Does
Defines RTH (Regular Trading Hours):
Start: 9:30 AM
End: 4:00 PM
These are typical US equity market hours.
Tracks the session's high and low during RTH:
sessionHigh and sessionLow update only during RTH.
Calculates position of the current price within the RTH range:
Formula: ((close - sessionLow) / (sessionHigh - sessionLow)) * 100
Result is a percentage:
0 = at session low
100 = at session high
50 = middle of session range
Calculates an EMA of that position (posEMA):
Smooths out the raw position to help visualize momentum within the range.
Plots and table:
Plots pos and posEMA on a separate chart pane.
Adds horizontal lines at key levels (0, 30, 50, 70, 100).
Table shows current values for Position, EMA, and Range.
Visual cues:
bgcolor highlights when pos crosses over or under the EMA — potential momentum shifts.
Alerts:
Cross above/below 50 (session midpoint).
Cross above/below EMA.
How to Use It Effectively
1. Session Strength & Momentum
Position above 70: Price is near session highs — strong upward momentum.
Position below 30: Price is near session lows — strong downward momentum.
Use the EMA of position to filter out noise and identify trends.
2. Breakout or Reversal Detection
Cross above EMA: Momentum may be turning bullish.
Cross below EMA: Momentum may be turning bearish.
These crosses (especially near mid-levels like 50) can hint at session trend shifts.
3. Range Context for Entries
If you're a mean-reversion trader, look for:
Price > 70 + turning down below EMA → possible short.
Price < 30 + turning up above EMA → possible long.
For breakout traders, you might wait for:
Crosses above 70 with EMA support.
Crosses below 30 with EMA resistance.
4. Confirmation Tool
Use this indicator alongside others to confirm:
Whether price action has strength within the day.
Whether breakouts have real momentum or are extended already.
Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)
Script Description
This TradingView indicator is optimized for Forex, scalping, intraday, and day trading strategies. It accurately plots Pivot Points and levels, high/low, support and resistance levels. These are clearly identified to aid the trader during killzone sessions and session opens. Ideal for scalp trading, intraday sessions, and leveraging SMT (Smart Money Techniques). Utilize these Price Levels effectively during London Open, NY Open, and the Asia Session, utilizing Market Structure to pinpoint key levels and reversal zones for successful trading. Improve your Trade Setups, recognize reliable Chart Patterns, identify critical Price Pivots, and trade confidently off Institutional Levels.
This script marks the intraday pivot highs, lows and midpoints retracement levels for
Asia
London
New York
It also plots the previous day's high, low, midpoint, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, providing traders with critical price reference points for making intraday trading decisions.
Originality & Usefulness
This indicator uniquely integrates pivot calculations across three major Forex sessions (Asia, London, NY), clearly delineating session boundaries.
It enhances visibility by using distinct styling
solid for New York
dashed for London
dotted lines for Asia
And colour co-ordinated labeling, improving traders' ability to identify important intraday price action zones efficiently. Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script emphasizes session-specific trading dynamics.
### Key Features ###
Session-Based Levels: Automatically plots high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci (.618) levels for each major session (Asia, London, NY).
Distinct Visual Cues: Lines and labels use session-specific styles and colors to easily differentiate between sessions.
Previous Day Reference: Clearly plots and labels yesterday's high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci levels.
Flexible Visibility: Traders can set timeframe visibility to maintain clean charts on higher timeframes.
### How It Works
At the start of next day's session, previous session lines are cleared, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
High, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci retracement levels (.618) are dynamically calculated and displayed at the close of each session.
All session levels remain visible until the start of the next respective session, providing continuous actionable insights.
Trading Application:
Session highs and lows act as strong intraday support and resistance zones.
Midpoints and Fibonacci levels are effective for identifying potential reversal zones and retracements.
Daily levels provide a broader context, useful for gauging intraday volatility and range.
### Limitations and Considerations ##
Best used on liquid assets with clear session-based price action, such as Forex major pairs, if used on indexes make sure they contain 24 hour price action not just New York session.
This indicator is designed to streamline intraday trading by clearly marking essential pivot points and session-based levels, significantly improving traders' market context and decision-making accuracy. Can be used to enhance SMT decision making when scalping killzones.
Globex time (New York Time)This indicator is designed to highlight and analyze price movements within the Globex session. Primarily geared toward the Globex Trap trading strategy, this tool visually identifies the session's high and low prices, allowing traders to better assess price action during extended hours. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of its features and functionality:
Purpose
The "Globex Time (New York Time)" indicator tracks price levels during the Globex trading session, providing a clear view of overnight market activity. This session, typically running from 6 p.m. ET (18:00) until the following morning at 8:30 a.m. ET, is a critical period where significant market positioning can occur before the regular session opens. In the Globex Trap strategy, the session high and low are essential levels, as price movements around these areas often indicate potential support, resistance, or reversal zones, which traders use to set up entries or exits when the regular trading session begins.
Key Features
Customizable Session Start and End Times
The indicator allows users to specify the exact start and end times of the Globex session in New York time. The default settings are:
Start: 6 p.m. ET (18:00)
End: 8:30 a.m. ET
These settings can be adjusted to align with specific market hours or personal preferences.
Session High and Low Identification
Throughout the defined session, the indicator dynamically calculates and tracks:
Session High: The highest price reached within the session.
Session Low: The lowest price reached within the session.
These levels are essential for the Globex Trap strategy, as price action around them can indicate likely breakout or reversal points when regular trading resumes.
Vertical Lines for Session Start and End
The indicator draws vertical lines at both the session start and end times:
Session Start Line: A solid line marking the exact beginning of the Globex session.
Session End Line: A similar vertical line marking the session’s conclusion.
Both lines are customizable in terms of color and thickness, making it easy to distinguish the session boundaries visually on the chart.
Horizontal Lines for Session High and Low
At the end of the session, the indicator plots horizontal lines representing the Globex session's high and low levels. Users can customize these lines:
Color: Define specific colors for the session high (default: red) and session low (default: green) to easily differentiate them.
Line Style: Options to set the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) provide flexibility for visual preferences and chart organization.
Automatic Reset for Daily Tracking
To adapt to the next trading day, the indicator resets the session high and low data once the current session ends. This reset prepares it to start tracking new levels at the beginning of the next session without manual intervention.
Practical Application in the Globex Trap Strategy
In the Globex Trap strategy, traders are primarily interested in price behavior around the high and low levels established during the overnight session. Common applications of this indicator for this strategy include:
Breakout Trades: Watching for price to break above the Globex high or below the Globex low, indicating potential momentum in the breakout direction.
Reversal Trades: Monitoring for failed breakouts or traps where price tests and rejects the Globex high or low, suggesting a reversal as liquidity is trapped in these zones.
Support and Resistance Zones: Using the session high and low as key support and resistance levels during the regular trading session, with potential entry or exit points when price approaches these areas.
Additional Configuration Options
Vertical Line Color and Width: Define the color and thickness of the vertical session start and end lines to match your chart’s theme.
Upper and Lower Line Colors and Styles: Customize the appearance of the session high and low horizontal lines by setting color and line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), making it easy to distinguish these critical levels from other chart markings.
Summary
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders implementing the Globex Trap strategy. It visually segments the Globex session and marks essential price levels, helping traders analyze market behavior overnight. Through its customizable options and clear visual representation, it simplifies tracking overnight price activity and identifying strategic levels for potential trade setups during the regular session.
ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.
Calculation and display of key price areas like Breaker Blocks, Rejection Blocks, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Equal Levels, and more.
The ability to set alerts based on these ICT strategies and key price areas.
A comprehensive, yet practical, all-inclusive ICT indicator for traders.

And much more! An ongoing project!
How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:

User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:

Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!
AMDX/XAMD indicatorThe AMDX/XAMD indicator is designed to highlight specific trading sessions on the chart using distinct colors and optional vertical lines. Users can choose between two session types, AMDX or XAMD, and customize the visual appearance of the sessions. This tool is particularly useful for traders who want to analyze market behavior during different trading periods.
Meaning of AMDX:
A: Accumulation
M: Manipulation
D: Distribution
X: Continuation Or Reversal
Features:
Session Highlighting:
AMDX Sessions: Split into four segments - A, M, D, X.
XAMD Sessions: Split into four segments - X, A, M, D.
Customizable Colors:
Choose individual colors for each session (A, M, D, X).
Adjust the transparency of the session boxes for better visual integration with the chart.
Drawing Styles:
Box Style: Draws colored boxes around the session ranges.
Line Style: Draws vertical lines at session start and end times.
Vertical Lines:

Customization Options:
Session Type: Select between AMDX and XAMD session types.
Colors: Set custom colors for each session and vertical lines.
Border Width: Adjust the width of the session box borders.
Transparency: Control the transparency level of the session boxes.
Drawing Style: Choose between Box and Line styles for session representation.
Vertical Lines: Enable or disable vertical lines and select the line style.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates the start and end times for each session based on the selected session type (AMDX or XAMD). It then draws either boxes or lines to highlight these sessions on the chart. The indicator also includes options to draw vertical lines at the session boundaries and labels each session with a corresponding letter (A, M, D, X).
Use Cases:
Market Session Analysis: Easily identify and analyze market behavior during different trading sessions.
Intraday Trading: Helps intraday traders to focus on specific time segments of the trading day.
Visual Segmentation: Provides a clear visual segmentation of the trading day, aiding in better decision-making.
Times for AMDX/XAMD session:
A Session: 18:00 (previous day) to 03:00 (current day)
M Session: 03:00 to 09:00
D Session: 09:00 to 12:00
X Session: 12:00 to 18:00
Time for the XAMD session :
X Session: 18:00 (previous day) to 00:00 (current day)
A Session: 00:00 to 09:00
M Session: 09:00 to 12:00
D Session: 12:00 to 18:00
Session candles & reversals / quantifytools— Overview
Like traditional candles, session based candles are a visualization of open, high, low and close values, but based on session time periods instead of typical timeframes such as daily or weekly. Session candles are formed by fetching price at session start (open), highest price during session (high), lowest price during session (low) and price at session end (close). On top of candles, session based moving average is formed and session reversals detected. Session reversals are also backtested, using win rate and magnitude metrics to better understand what to expect from session reversals and which ones have historically performed the best.
By default, following session time periods are used:
Session #1: London (08:00 - 17:00, UTC)
Session #2: New York (13:00 - 22:00, UTC)
Session #3: Sydney (21:00 - 06:00, UTC)
Session #4: Tokyo (00:00 - 09:00, UTC)
Session time periods can be changed via input menu.
— Reversals
Session reversals are patterns that show a rapid change in direction during session. These formations are more familiarly known as wicks or engulfing candles. Following criteria must be met to qualify as a session reversal:
Wick up:
Lower high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range (0% being the very low, 100% being the very high) and open >= 40% of session range.
Wick down:
Higher high, higher low, close <= 35% of session range and open <= 60% of session range.
Engulfing up:
Higher high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range.
Engulfing down:
Higher high, lower low, close <= 35% of session range.
Session reversals are always based on prior corresponding session , e.g. to qualify as a NY session engulfing up, NY session must have a higher high and lower low relative to prior NY session , not just any session that has taken place in between. Session reversals should be viewed the same way wicks/engulfing formations are viewed on traditional timeframe based candles. Essentially, wick reversals (light green/red labels) tell you most of the motion during session was reversed. Engulfing reversals (dark green/red labels) on the other hand tell you all of the motion was reversed and new direction set.
— Backtesting
Session reversals are backtested using win rate and magnitude metrics. A session reversal is considered successful when next corresponding session closes higher/lower than session reversal close . Win rate is formed by dividing successful session reversal count with total reversal count, e.g. 5 successful reversals up / 10 reversals up total = 50% win rate. Win rate tells us what are the odds (historically) of session reversal producing a clean supporting move that was persistent enough to close that way too.
When a session reversal is successful, its magnitude is measured using percentage increase/decrease from session reversal close to next corresponding session high/low . If NY session closes higher than prior NY session that was a reversal up, the percentage increase from prior session close (reversal close) to current session high is measured. If NY session closes lower than prior NY session that was a reversal down, the percentage decrease from prior session close to current session low is measured.
Average magnitude is formed by dividing all percentage increases/decreases with total reversal count, e.g. 10 total reversals up with 1% increase each -> 10% net increase from all reversals -> 10% total increase / 10 total reversals up = 1% average magnitude. Magnitude metric supports win rate by indicating the depth of successful session reversal moves.
To better understand the backtesting calculations and more importantly to verify their validity, backtesting visuals for each session can be plotted on the chart:
All backtesting results are shown in the backtesting panel on top right corner, with highest win rates and magnitude metrics for both reversals up and down marked separately. Note that past performance is not a guarantee of future performance and session reversals as they are should not be viewed as a complete strategy for long/short plays. Always make sure reversal count is sufficient to draw reliable conclusions of performance.
— Session moving average
Users can form a session based moving average with their preferred smoothing method (SMA , EMA , HMA , WMA , RMA) and length, as well as choose which sessions to include in the moving average. For example, a moving average based on New York and Tokyo sessions can be formed, leaving London and Sydney completely out of the calculation.
— Visuals
By default, script hides your candles/bars, although in the case of candles borders will still be visible. Switching to bars/line will make your regular chart visuals 100% hidden. This setting can be turned off via input menu. As some sessions overlap, each session candle can be separately offsetted forward, clearing the overlaps. Users can also choose which session candles to show/hide.
Session periods can be highlighted on the chart as a background color, applicable to only session candles that are activated. By default, session reversals are referred to as L (London), N (New York), S (Sydney) and T (Tokyo) in both reversal labels and backtesting table. By toggling on "Numerize sessions", these will be replaced with 1, 2, 3 and 4. This will be helpful when using a custom session that isn't any of the above.
Visual settings example:
Session candles are plotted in two formats, using boxes and lines as well as plotcandle() function. Session candles constructed using boxes and lines will be clear and much easier on the eyes, but will apply only to first 500 bars due to Tradingview related limitations. Rest of the session candles go back indefinitely, but won't be as clean:
All colors can be customized via input menu.
— Timeframe & session time period considerations
As a rule of thumb, session candles should be used on timeframes at or below 1H, as higher timeframes might not match with session period start/end, leading to incorrect plots. Using 1 hour timeframe will bring optimal results as greatest amount historical data is available without sacrificing accuracy of OHLC values. If you are using a custom session that is not based on hourly period (e.g. 08:00 - 15:00 vs. 08.00 - 15.15) make sure you are using a timeframe that allows correct plots.
Session time periods applied by default are rough estimates and might be out of bounds on some charts, like NYSE listed equities. This is rarely a problem on assets that have extensive trading hours, like futures or cryptocurrency. If a session is out of bounds (asset isn't traded during the set session time period) the script won't plot given session candle and its backtesting metrics will be NA. This can be fixed by changing the session time periods to match with given asset trading hours, although you will have to consider whether or not this defeats the purpose of having candles based on sessions.
— Practical guide
Whether based on traditional timeframes or sessions, reversals should always be considered as only one piece of evidence of price turning. Never react to them without considering other factors that might support the thesis, such as levels and multi-timeframe analysis. In short, same basic charting principles apply with session candles that apply with normal candles. Use discretion.
Example #1 : Focusing efforts on session reversals at distinct support/resistance levels
A reversal against a level holds more value than a reversal by itself, as you know it's a placement where liquidity can be expected. A reversal serves as a confirming reaction for this expectation.
Example #2 : Focusing efforts on highest performing reversals and avoiding poorly performing ones
As you have data backed evidence of session reversal performance, it makes sense to focus your efforts on the ones that perform best. If some session reversal is clearly performing poorly, you would want to avoid it, since there's nothing backing up its validity.
Example #3 : Reversal clusters
Two is better than one, three is better than two and so on. If there are rapid changes in direction within multiple sessions consecutively, there's heavier evidence of a dynamic shift in price. In such case, it makes sense to hold more confidence in price halting/turning.

Volume Peak Box📄 English Description
Overview
The Volume Peak Box indicator highlights periods of unusually high volume by identifying volume spikes using Bollinger Bands on volume and drawing a price-range box around each spike window. This provides traders with a clear visual representation of supply/demand imbalances, absorption zones, and breakout/false-break areas.
All calculations come from one unified concept: detecting statistically significant volume peaks on a locked timeframe and mapping them onto the chart.
Concept & Logic
1. Locked Timeframe Volume Analysis
Instead of using the current chart timeframe, this script allows users to lock volume analysis to any timeframe (e.g., 60m, 4H, 1D).
The script retrieves from the chosen timeframe:
Volume
High price
Low price
This allows volume structure from higher timeframes to be used while trading lower timeframes.
2. Bollinger Bands on Volume
Volume volatility is analyzed using a standard Bollinger Band model:
Basis = SMA(volume, BB length)
Upper Band = Basis + (mult × standard deviation)
When:
Volume > Upper Band
→ This bar is classified as a Volume Peak.
This approach makes the peak detection statistically meaningful, instead of simply comparing raw volume to previous bars.
3. Peak Session Detection (Continuous Peaks Form One Box)
The script tracks continuous volume peaks:
When a peak starts → begin a session
While peaks continue → extend the session
When peaks end → session closes and a box is created
For each peak session, the script records:
Start bar index
End bar index
Highest high within the session
Lowest low within the session
These values determine the box boundaries.
This allows the indicator to group related peaks into a single price zone, instead of drawing a box for every bar.
4. Drawing the Volume Peak Box
When a session ends, the script draws:
A filled box covering the full price range
From startBar → endBar
Using user-defined:
Box fill color
Border color
Each box visually marks a region where strong participation entered the market, often signaling:
Breakout validation
Absorption zones
Supply/demand imbalance
High-activity trading decisions
How to Use
Use the boxes to identify high-volume reaction zones.
When price revisits a box:
Expect strong reactions (bounce, rejection, or absorption).
When price breaks out from a box:
Can signal continuation with momentum.
Lower-timeframe entry signals become more reliable when aligned with high-timeframe volume boxes.
Recommended to lock the TF to:
60m for intraday
4H or 1D for swing trading
Why This Script Is Original
It uses Bollinger Bands on volume, not price — a less common volatility-based method for detecting volume anomalies.
It groups continuous peaks into unified zones instead of treating each spike separately.
The ability to lock the volume analysis to a higher timeframe allows multi-timeframe volume interpretation without cluttering the chart.
Boxes give traders a clean and intuitive view of volume-based “decision zones”.

ภาพรวม
อินดิเคเตอร์ Volume Peak Box ใช้การตรวจจับ “Volume Peak” โดยใช้ Bollinger Band บน Volume แล้วสร้าง “กล่องช่วงราคา” ครอบช่วงที่มี Volume สูงผิดปกติ ทำให้เห็นบริเวณที่มีแรงซื้อขายเข้ามาอย่างชัดเจน เช่น จุด Breakout, จุด Absorption, หรือเขต Supply/Demand
แนวคิดและหลักการทำงาน
1. วิเคราะห์ Volume จาก Timeframe ที่ล็อกไว้
คุณสามารถเลือก TF ที่ต้องการให้ Volume ถูกนำมาคำนวณ เช่น 60 นาที, 4 ชั่วโมง, 1 วัน
แม้คุณจะเปิดกราฟ TF เล็ก เช่น 5m แต่กล่องยังอิง volume จาก TF ที่เลือกไว้ ทำให้ได้ “โซน Volume ใหญ่” ที่แม่นยำขึ้น
2. Bollinger Band บน Volume
ใช้ SMA + ส่วนเบี่ยงเบนมาตรฐานของ Volume เพื่อหา “จุดที่ Volume สูงกว่าปกติอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ”
เงื่อนไข Peak:
Volume > Upper Bollinger Band
นี่เป็นวิธีที่ดีกว่า “เทียบกับแท่งก่อนหน้า” เพราะคิดจากสถิติของทั้งช่วง
3. รวม Peak ต่อเนื่องเป็นกล่องเดียว
ถ้า Volume Peak เกิดต่อเนื่องหลายแท่ง:
จะถูกจับรวมเป็น Peak session เดียว
ใช้ High สูงสุด และ Low ต่ำสุดของทั้ง session
เมื่อ Peak จบ → วาดกล่องช่วงราคา
เหมาะกับการหาจุดที่ตลาดมีแรงเข้าซื้อ/ขายหนักในช่วงเวลาเดียวกัน
4. วาดกล่อง Volume Peak
กล่องจะครอบ:
ช่วงแท่งเริ่มต้น → แท่งสุดท้ายของ Peak
ความสูงของกล่อง = ช่วงราคาที่มี Volume สูงผิดปกติ
กล่องสามารถใช้เป็น:
โซน Breakout/Breakdown
โซน Supply/Demand
เขตที่ราคามักมี reaction
วิธีใช้งาน
ใช้กล่องเป็น “เขตการตัดสินใจ” (Decision Zone)
ราคาแตะซ้ำมักเกิดการกลับตัวหรือความผันผวนสูง
การทะลุกล่องบ่อยครั้งนำไปสู่ขาเทรนด์ใหญ่
เหมาะกับการใช้ร่วมกับ Price Action และโครงสร้างราคา
จุดเด่น / ความเป็น Original
ใช้ Bollinger Band บน Volume (น้อยอินดี้ทำ)
รวม Peak ต่อเนื่องเป็น session เดียว
วิเคราะห์ Volume ข้าม TF ได้ โดยไม่ต้องเปลี่ยน TF บนกราฟ
ได้ “โซน Volume สำคัญ” แบบชัดเจน อ่านง่าย ไม่รกจอ

ICT Liquidity Sweep Asia/London 1 Trade per High & Low🧠 ICT Liquidity Sweep Asia/London — 1 Trade per High & Low
This strategy is inspired by the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts of liquidity sweeps and market structure, focusing on the Asia and London sessions.
It automatically identifies liquidity grabs (sweeps) above or below key session highs/lows and enters trades with a fixed risk/reward ratio (RR).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚙️ Core Logic
-Asia Session: 8:00 PM – 11:59 PM (New York time)
-London Session: 2:00 AM – 5:00 AM (New York time)
-The script marks the Asia High/Low and London High/Low ranges for each day.
-When the market sweeps above a session high → potential Short setup
-When the market sweeps below a session low → potential Long setup
-A trade is triggered when the confirmation candle closes in the opposite direction of the sweep (bearish after a high sweep, bullish after a low sweep).
-Only one trade per sweep type (1 per High, 1 per Low) is allowed per session.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
📈 Risk Management
-Configurable Risk/Reward Target (default = 2:1)
-Configurable Position Size (number of contracts)
-Each trade uses a fixed Stop Loss (beyond the wick of the sweep) and a Take Profit calculated from the RR setting.
-All trades are automatically logged in the Strategy Tester with performance metrics.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💡 Features
✅ Visual session highlighting (Asia = Aqua, London = Orange)
✅ Automatic liquidity line plotting (session highs/lows)
✅ Entry & exit labels (optional visual display)
✅ Customizable RR and contract size
✅ Works on any instrument (ideal for indices, futures, or forex)
✅ Compatible with all timeframes (optimized for 1M–15M)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚠️ Notes
-Best used on New York time-based charts.
-Designed for educational and backtesting purposes — not financial advice.
-Use as a foundation for further optimization (e.g., SMT confirmation, FVG filter, or time-based restrictions).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🧩 Recommended Use
Pair this with:
-ICT’s concepts like CISD (Change in State of Delivery) and FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
-Higher timeframe liquidity maps
-Session bias or daily narrative filters

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

ORB & Sessions [Capitalize Labs]ORB & Sessions Indicator
The ORB & Sessions Indicator provides a structured way to analyze intraday price action by combining two well-established concepts: global trading sessions and Opening Range Breakouts (ORB). It is designed to help traders identify where liquidity forms, when volatility expands, and how price behaves around key session and range levels.
Market Sessions Framework
Displays New York, London, and Asian sessions directly on the chart.
Each session can be shown as a highlighted background zone, or with extended highs and lows for liquidity tracking.
Session highs and lows remain projected forward after the session ends, allowing traders to monitor sweeps, retests, and reactions throughout the day.
Session times are fully customizable and can be aligned with the trader’s own timezone or broker feed.
This structure helps traders place price action into context, whether during quiet Asian trading, London-driven volatility, or New York reversals.
Opening Range Breakouts (ORB)
Supports three independent ORBs, each with configurable session times.
During the defined ORB window, the indicator captures the high and low of the range and plots a live updating box.
Once the ORB closes, the range locks and projects breakout targets (T1 and T2) based on user-defined risk-to-reward multiples.
Alerts are included for breakouts of highs, lows, or target levels.
Traders can use a single ORB or multiple—for example, tracking an Asian ORB into London, or London into New York.
Visualization and Clarity
Color-coded boxes and levels for sessions and ORBs.
Labels such as “Range High” and “Range Low” ensure clarity without clutter.
Flexible display settings allow highlighting full zones, just lines, or minimal markers depending on preference.
Practical Applications
This indicator is useful for:
Liquidity and volatility analysis: Observe where session highs and lows form and how they influence later trading.
Breakout and reversal strategies: Use ORB ranges to define risk and plan target projections.
Time-based research: Explore how different session overlaps or ORBs affect markets like indices, FX, and commodities.
Risk planning: Built-in R-multiple targets provide a consistent framework for evaluating setups.
Why It’s Different
Instead of showing sessions and ORBs separately, this indicator integrates them into one framework. Traders can:
See when and where sessions open and establish range levels.
Define precise ORBs with customizable timing.
Track breakout levels and targets in real time with alerts.
The result is a clear, time-structured view of the trading day, helping traders align setups with session dynamics and opening range behavior.
This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. It is an analytical and visualization tool, providing structure for traders to better interpret intraday price action.
London Breakout Tracker - Box Style📊 London Breakout Tracker (Pine Script v6)
This script is designed to track the Asian session range and identify breakout opportunities when the London session begins. It highlights high-probability trade setups and helps avoid fakeouts or overly wide ranges.
🧱 1. Session Time Definitions (Adjusted for Kenyan Time)
The Asian session is defined as:
3:00 AM to 11:00 AM (Kenyan Time)
🔐 2. Asian Session High & Low
During the Asian session:
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low to define the range.
These are stored in variables: asianHigh and asianLow.
🧊 3. Box Drawing for the Asian Range
Once the Asian session ends:
A visual box is drawn around the session using box.new().
This box spans from the session start to end bars and from the high to low.
It helps visually see the range price must break out from.
🚨 4. Breakout Signals
After the Asian session:
A Long Breakout signal is generated if:
The candle closes above the Asian High.
A Short Breakout signal is generated if:
The candle closes below the Asian Low.
This corresponds to 00:00 to 08:00 UTC
These are shown with:
✅ Green up label for long breakouts
❌ Red down label for short breakouts
🧯 5. Fakeout Detection
If price breaks out but closes back inside the Asian range, it’s marked as a Fakeout:
Long Fakeout: Price breaks above high, then closes back below.
Short Fakeout: Price breaks below low, then closes back above.
These are marked with orange X-crosses above or below candles.
⚠️ 6. Wide Range Filter
If the Asian session range is too wide (e.g. > 40 pips), a gray background is drawn.
This warns you not to trade that day since breakouts from wide ranges are unreliable.
📣 7. Alert Conditions
The script can trigger alerts in TradingView when:
🔔 A Long or Short Breakout occurs
⚠️ A Fakeout is detected
You can set these up via the TradingView alert system.
🎯 Overall Purpose:
The script helps you:
Clearly see the Asian session range
Identify breakout opportunities at the London open
Avoid trading during fakeouts or wide-range sessions
Get alerted when breakout/fakeout conditions occur
Advanced Session Profile Predictor with SR Boxes & ORAdvanced Session Profile Predictor with Momentum Arrows
Designed for intraday traders, this indicator analyzes price action across Asia, London, and New York sessions to predict market profiles and highlight key trading opportunities. By combining session-based profiling, Opening Range (OR) visualization, and momentum signals from Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), it offers a unique tool for anticipating trends, reversals, and breakouts. Ideal for forex, indices, and crypto on 15M–1H charts.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike typical session indicators that only mark time zones or standard TDI scripts that focus on momentum, this tool:
Predicts market profiles (e.g., "Trend Continuation," "NY Manipulation") by analyzing session ranges and directional moves, offering actionable insights into how sessions interact.
Visualizes Opening Range (OR) boxes for the first 15 minutes of each session, helping traders spot early breakout levels.
Integrates TDI with momentum to generate precise bullish/bearish arrows, filtered by session context for improved reliability.
Simplifies decision-making with dynamic profile labels showing real-time long/short conditions based on price levels.
How Does It Work?
Session Tracking:
Asia (00:00–08:00 UTC, yellow), London (08:00–16:00 UTC, red), and New York (13:00–21:00 UTC, blue) sessions are highlighted with background colors and high/low lines (crosses).
OR boxes (first 15 minutes) are drawn for each session: yellow for Asia, red for London, blue for NY.
Profile Prediction:
Compares Asia and London session ranges and directions (e.g., trending if range > 1.5x 5-period SMA).
Examples:
Trend Continuation: Asia and London trend in the same direction—long above Asia high (uptrend) or short below Asia low (downtrend).
NY Manipulation: Asia trends, London consolidates—watch for NY breakouts at London high/low.
Displays the predicted profile and entry conditions in labels (e.g., "IF price hits 1.2000 LONG").
Momentum Arrows:
Uses TDI (RSI period 21, bands 34, fast MA 2) and 12-period momentum.
Green up arrow: Fast MA > upper band (>68) and momentum rising (bullish).
Red down arrow: Fast MA < lower band (<32) and momentum falling (bearish).
Support/Resistance (SR):
Plots dynamic SR boxes based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume (inspired by ChartPrime’s methodology, credited below).
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to a 15M–1H chart. Adjust time zone (default: UTC) and session times if needed. Customize TDI/momentum settings for sensitivity.
Trading:
Check the top-right labels for the current profile and entry conditions (e.g., "IF price hits LONG/SHORT").
Confirm entries with green up arrows (bullish) or red down arrows (bearish).
Use OR boxes and session high/low lines to identify breakout or reversal levels.
Example: In "NY Manipulation," wait for price to hit London high (long) or low (short) during NY session, confirmed by an arrow.
Best Markets: Forex (EUR/USD), indices (SPX500), crypto (BTC/USD) with sufficient intraday volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Session Profiling: Detects trends (range > SMA * threshold) and manipulation (e.g., London breaking Asia’s high/low) to predict NY behavior.
OR Boxes: Marks the first 15 minutes’ high/low as a breakout zone (time-based, 900,000 ms).
TDI + Momentum: Combines RSI-based bands with price change (close – close ) for momentum signals.
SR Boxes: Identifies pivots over a lookback period (default 20), scaled by ATR and filtered by volume thresholds.
Credits
The SR box logic is inspired by ChartPrime’s volume-filtered support/resistance methodology, adapted with custom breakout/hold detection. Original authors are credited for their foundational work.
Chart Setup
Displays session backgrounds, OR boxes, high/low lines, TDI arrows, and profile labels. Keep other indicators off for clarity.
Pre-London High-Low Breakout IndicatorOverview
The Pre-London High-Low Breakout Indicator helps traders identify breakout opportunities at the London session open. It marks the high and low one hour before London opens (5 PM - 6 PM AEST) and incorporates a 200 SMA filter to confirm trade direction. The indicator also provides real-time breakout markers for precise entries.
How the Indicator Works
1. Pre-London High & Low Identification (5 PM - 6 PM AEST)
The indicator tracks the highest and lowest price levels within this period.
These levels act as key breakout zones once London opens.
The high and low remain visible until 12 AM AEST for reference.
2. 200 SMA as a Trend Filter
A 200 SMA (yellow, thick line) is plotted to filter breakout trades.
Only long (buy) trades are valid if price is above the 200 SMA.
Only short (sell) trades are valid if price is below the 200 SMA.
3. Real-Time Breakout Confirmation
Buy Signal (Green Diamond):
Price breaks above the pre-London high.
Price is above the 200 SMA.
Sell Signal (Red Diamond):
Price breaks below the pre-London low.
Price is below the 200 SMA.
No signal appears if the breakout is against the SMA trend, reducing false trades.
How to Use the Indicator Properly
Step 1: Identify the Pre-London Range (5 PM - 6 PM AEST)
Observe price movements and note the session high & low.
Do not take trades within this period—wait for a clear breakout.
Step 2: Wait for a Breakout After 6 PM AEST
A breakout must occur beyond the session high or low.
The breakout should be clear and decisive, not hovering around the range.
Step 3: Confirm with the 200 SMA
If price is above the 200 SMA, only buy signals are valid.
If price is below the 200 SMA, only sell signals are valid.
If a breakout occurs against the SMA, ignore it.
Step 4: Enter the Trade and Manage Risk
Enter the trade after the breakout candle closes.
Set stop-loss just inside the pre-London range to minimize risk.
Take profit using a 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward ratio, or trail the stop.
Why This Strategy Works
Pre-London Liquidity Grab: Institutional traders set positions before the London open, making this range significant.
Trend Confirmation with SMA: Reduces false breakouts by filtering trades in the direction of the trend.
Real-Time Breakout Detection: Green and red diamond markers highlight valid breakouts that meet all conditions.
Final Notes
If price breaks out but quickly reverses, it may be a false breakout—avoid impulsive trades.
The indicator works best when combined with other confluences such as volume analysis or key support/resistance levels.
Alerts can be added to notify traders when a valid breakout occurs.
This setup is ideal for traders looking for a structured, rule-based approach to trading London session breakouts with a strong trend confirmation mechanism.
