IVX: Institutional Velocity X-Ray [Ash_TheTrader]The Intrabar Liquidity X-Ray: Seeing Institutional Speed Inside the Candle ⚡🐢
Stop getting trapped by standard candlesticks. It’s time to see how fast the money is actually moving.
A standard candlestick tells you four things: Open, High, Low, and Close. It’s the foundation of technical analysis.
But it hides the most important metric of all: Speed.
Two bullish 1-Hour candles can look identical on your chart. Both opened at $100 and closed at $105.
Candle A hit $105 in the first 5 minutes, then spent 55 minutes holding that level.
Candle B ground slowly upwards, finally hitting $105 in the 59th minute.
To a standard indicator, these candles are the same. To a professional trader, they are opposites. One shows aggressive, front-loaded institutional buying; the other shows weak, exhausted retail grinding.
As @Ash_TheTrader, I developed the Intrabar Liquidity X-Ray to solve this problem. It stops looking at the surface of the candle and looks inside it.
🧠 The Concept: Time-To-Form
This indicator uses advanced Pine Script technology to conduct an "X-Ray" scan of the bar you are looking at.
If you are on a 1-Hour chart, the script uses request.security_lower_tf to fetch the data of the 60 individual 1-minute bars hidden inside that single hour bar.
It then asks a critical question: How long did it take for this candle to achieve its ultimate High or Low?
In a Bullish candle, we measure the time it took to hit the specific minute of the bar's High.
In a Bearish candle, we measure the time it took to hit the specific minute of the bar's Low.
By measuring this "Time-To-Form," we can classify the intent behind the move.
⚡ The "Fast" Candle (Institutional Aggression)
When smart money wants to move an asset, they don't wait all day. They execute large block orders that move price rapidly to their desired level, and then they defend it.
The Signal: The indicator identifies a bar as "Fast" if it hits its High (for bulls) or Low (for bears) in the first 20% of the candle's duration.
The Visual: The bar turns Neon Cyan and is marked with a lightning bolt ⚡.
Interpretation by @Ash_TheTrader: This is urgent liquidity. Institutions are front-loading their orders. These levels are often strong zones of support or resistance on retests because the big players showed their hand early.
🐢 The "Slow" Candle (Retail Grind)
Conversely, when a move is driven by retail traders chasing price, or when a trend is exhausted, price struggles to make new extremes. It grinds slowly, taking the entire duration of the candle just to inch slightly higher or lower.
The Signal: The indicator identifies a bar as "Slow" if it takes more than 80% of the candle's duration to finally reach its High or Low.
The Visual: The bar turns Orange and is marked with a turtle 🐢 beneath it.
Interpretation by @Ash_TheTrader: This is "weak" movement. Even if the candle is green, if it took 58 minutes of a 60-minute bar just to make a new high, the buyers are exhausted. Be wary of reversals after seeing a cluster of 🐢 candles.
💻 Features and The Dashboard
To make this data actionable in real-time, I have engineered a clean Heads-Up Display (HUD) directly on the chart.
The On-Chart Dashboard: Located in the top right, the dashboard gives you the live stats of the current forming bar. It tells you exactly what percentage of the time has passed and whether the current structure is considered Institutional ⚡ or a Retail Grind 🐢.
Other Features:
Dual Polarity Logic: Works seamlessly for both bullish trends (tracking speed to Highs) and bearish trends (tracking speed to Lows).
Smart Volume Filtering: The indicator automatically ignores insignificant low-volume "noise" bars, only highlighting speed on candles with above-average volume.
Full Alert Capability: Set alerts for "Fast ⚡" detections to catch sudden institutional activity as it happens.
⚙️ Best Practices for Using This Tool
Because this tool looks inside a bar, it is designed to be used on Higher Timeframes.
Recommended Timeframes: 30-Minute, 1-Hour, 4-Hour, or Daily charts.
Do Not Use On: 1-Minute or 5-Minute charts. (You cannot effectively "X-Ray" a 1-minute bar using 1-minute data; the math doesn't work).
A Final Note from @Ash_TheTrader
Trading is about information asymmetry. The market hides the most valuable data beneath the surface of the Open and Close. Use the Intrabar Liquidity X-Ray to stop guessing the speed of the market and start seeing it.
Trade safe, trade smart.⚡

Miela Labs | John Dee's Watchtower [257-463]Bridging the gap between 16th-century esoteric mathematics and modern algorithmic trading.
The Enochian Watchtower is not merely a trend indicator; it is a computational artifact developed by Miela Labs LLC. This script translates Dr. John Dee’s "Great Table of the Watchtowers" and the "Sigil Dei Aemeth" into actionable financial data points.
Using our proprietary Occultator V2.0 Engine, we have derived specific mathematical constants that resonate with the current market structure.
🏛️ The Algorithmic Logic
This indicator utilizes three sacred numbers to construct a "Future Vision" of the market:
1. The Axis Mundi (Vector 257): derived from Fermat Primes and John Dee’s Grid coordinates. This Weighted Moving Average (WMA) acts as the spinal cord of the trend.
2. The Gates (Cipher 463): A prime number derived from the "Galethog" cipher stride. These bands define the absolute volatility limits (Heaven & Earth Gates).
3. Future Vision (Offset 21): Utilizing Fibonacci time sequences, the indicator projects Support and Resistance levels 21 bars into the future, allowing traders to anticipate market movements before they occur.
⚡ How to Use
• The Trend: If price is above the Purple Axis (257), the market is in a bullish phase.
• The Entry: Look for "L" (Long) and "S" (Short) signals. These are confirmed when the signal path crosses the Axis.
• The Future: Watch the projected lines on the right side of the chart to identify upcoming resistance zones.

Intermarket Swing Projection [LuxAlgo]The Intermarket Swing Projection allows traders to plot price movement swings from any user-selected asset directly onto the chart in the form of zigzags and/or horizontal support and resistance levels.
This tool rescale the external asset price on the user chart, enabling traders to make direct comparisons.
It answers the question of how different the price behavior is between two assets, accounting for each asset's volatility.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on swing detection of two different assets: the chart and a user-selected asset. It allows traders to compare two assets on an equal footing while accounting for volatility and price behavior.
Traders can customize the detection by selecting a custom ticker, timeframe, the number of swings and length for swing detection. This makes the tool a Swiss army knife for asset comparison.
As we can see in the image below, the Show Last, Pivot Length, and Spread parameters are key to defining the final output of the tool.
"Show Last" defines how many pivots are displayed. "Pivot Length" is used for pivot detection; a larger value will detect larger market structures. "Spread" defines how far apart the horizontal levels will be from their original location in terms of volatility.
🔹 Comparing different assets
This image shows the Nasdaq 100 futures contract compared to four other futures contracts: S&P 500, gold, bitcoin, and euro/U.S. dollar.
Plotting all of these assets in Nasdaq 100 terms makes it easy to compare and analyze price behaviors and identify key levels.
In the top left chart, we have NQ vs. ES. It's no surprise that they are practically an exact match; a large portion of the S&P 500 is technology.
In the top right chart, NQ vs. GC, we see totally different behaviors. We can clearly see the summer consolidation in gold and the resumption of the uptrend, which took gold above 29,200 NQ points, up from 21,200.
In the bottom right chart, we see bitcoin making new highs, way above the Nasdaq in May, July, and October. However, the last high was way below the Nasdaq prices on October 27—the first lower high in a while. Sellers are pushing down.
Finally, the bottom left chart is NQ vs. 6E. We can see large volatility in the uptrend since February, with NQ unable to catch up until now. The last swing low was almost a match, and 6E is in a range.
As we can see, this tool allows us to perform intermarket analysis properly by accounting for each asset's volatility and price behavior. Then, we plot them on the same scale on equal terms, which makes performing this kind of analysis easy.
As we can see in the chart above, the assets are the same as in the previous image, but the timeframe is 1H with different settings.
Note the horizontal levels acting as support and resistance, as well as how NQ prices react to the zones marked with white circles. These levels are derived from custom assets selected by the user.
🔹 Displaying Elements
Zig-zag allows traders to clearly see the path that the selected asset's price took, as well as its turning points.
Horizontal levels are displayed from those turning points to the present and can be used as support or resistance. Traders can adjust the spread parameter in the settings panel to expand or contract those levels' volatility.
There are two color modes for the levels: average and pivots. In the first mode, green is used for levels below the average and red for levels above the average. The second uses green for swing lows and red for swing highs.
The backpaint feature is enabled by default and allows the swings to be displayed in the correct location. With this feature disabled, the swings will be displayed in the current location when a new swing is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
On a more technical note, the rescaling is formed by calculating three main elements from all the swings detected on the custom and chart assets:
The chart asset's average of all swing points
The chart asset's standard deviation of all swing points
The custom asset's z-score for each swing point
Then, the re-scaled swing point is calculated as the average plus the z-score multiplied by the standard deviation. This makes it possible to plot AAPL swings on an NQ chart, for example.
Thanks to re-scaling, we can directly compare the price behavior of two assets with different price ranges and volatility on the same chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Trendlines
Ticker: Select the custom ticker.
Timeframe: Select a custom timeframe.
Show Last: Select how many swing points to display.
Pivot Length: Select the size for swing point detection.
Spread: Volatility multiplier for horizontal levels. Larger values mean the levels are farther apart.
Backpaint: Enable or disable the backpaint feature. When enabled, the drawings will be displayed where they were detected. When disabled, the drawings will be displayed at the moment of detection.
🔹 Style
Show ZigZag: Enable or disable the ZigZag display and choose a line style.
Show Levels: Enable or disable the levels display and choose a line style.
Color Mode: Choose between Average Mode, which colors all levels below the average bullish and all levels above bearish, and Pivot Mode, which colors swing highs bearish and swing lows bullish.
Bullish: Select a bullish color.
Bearish: Select a bearish color.
ZigZag: Select the ZigZag color.
(QUANTLABS) Fractal God Mode: 25-Timeframe Scanner The indicator aggregates data into three distinct metric columns:
1. STRUCT (Market Structure) This analyzes price action relative to Fractal Pivots (Highs and Lows) to determine market direction.
HH (Breakout): Price has closed above the previous Pivot High. (Bullish Structure)
LL (Breakdown): Price has closed below the previous Pivot Low. (Bearish Structure)
TRAPPED: Price is trading between the last Pivot High and Low. This indicates a ranging market where trend trades should be avoided.
2. VELOCITY (Thrust) This measures the specific strength of the current candle on that timeframe.
The Math: It calculates the ratio of the body (Close - Open) relative to the total candle range (High - Low).
The Signal: High positive numbers (Green) indicate buyers are closing near highs. High negative numbers (Red) indicate sellers are dominating the range.
3. QUALITY (Efficiency Ratio) This acts as a "Noise Filter." It determines if the trend is moving in a straight line or whipping back and forth.
The Math: It divides the Net Price Movement (Distance from 5 bars ago) by the Total Path Traveled (Sum of the ranges of the last 5 bars).
PRISTINE (Values > 0.6): The market is moving efficiently in one direction.
CHOPPY (Values < 0.4): The market is volatile and non-directional (High Noise).
1. The Matrix (Dashboard) Located in the bottom right, this table gives you an instant read on Short-Term (3m-9m), Medium-Term (10m-45m), and Long-Term (1H-Daily) trends.
2. Coherence Flow At the bottom of the table, the script sums up the structural score of all 25 timeframes.
COHERENT BULL: When the Short, Medium, and Long terms align green.
COHERENT BEAR: When the Short, Medium, and Long terms align red.
3. God Mode (Global S/R) The indicator can plot Support and Resistance levels from higher timeframes onto your current chart. For example, while trading the 5m chart, you can see the 4H and Daily pivot levels plotted automatically as dotted lines, ensuring you never trade blindly into a higher-timeframe wall.
Trend Following: Wait for the "Coherent Bull/Bear" signal at the bottom of the dashboard. This confirms that momentum is aligned from the 3m chart up to the Daily.
Scalping: Focus on the Quality column. Only take trades when the Quality is "CLEAN" or "PRISTINE." Avoid entries when the dashboard warns of "High Noise" (Choppy).
Risk Management: If the dashboard shows "TRAPPED" on the Long Term (1H+), reduce position size or wait for a breakout.
Pivot Lookback: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Fractal Structure (Default: 5).
Show Fractal DNA Matrix: Toggles the dashboard table.
Show ALL Timeframe S/R: Enables "God Mode" to see supports/resistances from all 25 timeframes (Heavy visual processing, use carefully).
AG Pro Dynamic Channels PremiumAG Pro Dynamic Channels Premium
The Gold Standard in Automated Market Structure.
AG Pro Dynamic Channels Premium is the culmination of advanced algorithmic development, designed specifically for professional traders who refuse to compromise on chart clarity.
While standard indicators flood your screen with noise, this Premium edition employs a proprietary "Smart Filtering Engine" to identify, validate, and project only the most statistically significant support and resistance channels. It transforms chaos into a clear, actionable roadmap.
🏆 Why Go Premium?
This is not just an update; it is a complete overhaul of the trend detection logic.
1. 🧠 Smart Quality Control (Exclusive) The core difference in the Premium version is its ability to "think" before it draws.
Volatility Filtering: The script analyzes the slope of every potential trend. It automatically rejects unsustainable "pump/dump" moves and flat ranges, keeping only tradeable structures.
Wick Exclusion Logic: An advanced algorithm that ignores extreme volatility spikes (wicks), drawing channels based on candle body consolidation for higher precision.
2. 🏷️ Intelligent Labeling System Instant situational awareness. Every channel is auto-labeled (e.g., Mj Ext Up), so you know exactly which market phase (Major or Minor, Internal or External) you are trading in without guessing.
3. ⚡ Zero-Lag Optimization The code has been refactored for maximum efficiency, ensuring faster load times and smoother performance even on lower timeframes.
💎 Key Features
Dual-Layer Architecture: Simultaneously tracks Major Trends (for bias) and Minor Trends (for entries).
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The dotted midline acts as a high-probability reversal zone.
Institutional Grade Alerts: Fully customizable alerts for Breakouts and Reactions, complete with metadata for automated trading systems.
Auto-Tuning: Default settings are optimized for a balance of sensitivity and reliability, but fully customizable for specific assets (Crypto, Forex, Indices).
⚙️ Methodology (How It Works)
To comply with TradingView House Rules, here is the technical logic behind the script:
Pivot Detection: The script scans price action using a highly sensitive lookback period to find raw Pivot Highs and Lows.
Structure Mapping: It processes these points to define the Market Structure (HH, LL, LH, HL).
Validation Layer: Before rendering, the Smart Filter calculates the channel's duration and slope coefficient. If the channel is too short or too steep (violating the user-defined Max Slope threshold), it is discarded as "Market Noise."
Projection: Validated channels are drawn with dynamic extensions and fill zones.

EDGE MTF ATR Bias Matrix EDGE MTF ATR BIAS MATRIX - User Guide & Documentation
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
The EDGE MTF ATR Bias Matrix is a multi-timeframe directional bias indicator
that displays dynamic support and resistance levels across six timeframes in a
compact corner panel. It uses ATR-based trailing bands to determine trend
direction and highlights key levels you should be watching for potential
entries, exits, or reversals.
Think of it as your "compass" — at a glance, you can see which direction the
market is pointing on the 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, and Daily timeframes, along
with the critical price level to watch on each.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator uses a dual-band trailing stop system on each timeframe:
INNER BAND (Tighter/Faster)
• Calculated as: HL2 ± (Inner Multiplier × ATR)
• Default multiplier: 3.0
• Reacts more quickly to price changes
• Defines the "active" trend direction
OUTER BAND (Wider/Slower)
• Calculated as: HL2 ± (Outer Multiplier × ATR)
• Default multiplier: 6.0
• Provides a buffer zone / "cloud" between signals
• Represents major support/resistance levels
The two bands create a "cloud" structure:
• When Inner > Outer → Bullish Cloud (uptrend structure)
• When Inner < Outer → Bearish Cloud (downtrend structure)
Signal Logic:
▲ BULLISH (Green): Price is ABOVE the inner band in a bullish cloud
▼ BEARISH (Red): Price is BELOW the inner band in a bearish cloud
◆ NEUTRAL (Gray): Price is inside the cloud or at an inflection point
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
READING THE PANEL
The panel displays three columns:
TF │ Level │ Δ
────────┼───────────
Daily │ 4,125.50 │
4H │ 4,118.25 │ 3.25
1H │ 4,115.00 │
30m │ 4,112.75 │ 1.50
15m │ 4,110.50 │
5m │ 4,108.25 │ 0.75
COLUMN 1 - TF (Timeframe)
The timeframe being analyzed
COLUMN 2 - Level
The key support/resistance level to watch
• Color indicates bias: Green = Bullish, Red = Bearish, Gray = Neutral
• This is the trailing band level that price is respecting
COLUMN 3 - Δ (Delta/Proximity)
Distance from current price to the key level
• Only appears when price is within the Proximity Threshold
• Yellow color draws attention to nearby levels
• Helps you spot imminent tests of support/resistance
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
1. CONFLUENCE OF BIAS
When multiple timeframes show the same color (all green or all red), the
directional bias is strong. Trade with the trend.
Example: Daily, 4H, 1H, and 30m all GREEN = Strong bullish environment
→ Look for long entries on pullbacks to the displayed levels
2. DIVERGENCE BETWEEN TIMEFRAMES
When higher timeframes disagree with lower timeframes, expect choppy
conditions or potential reversals.
Example: Daily RED but 15m and 5m GREEN = Short-term bounce in downtrend
→ Approach longs with caution; these may be counter-trend trades
3. PROXIMITY ALERTS (Δ Column)
When you see a value in the Δ column, price is close to that timeframe's
key level. This is where you should pay attention for:
• Bounces (level holds = continuation)
• Breaks (level fails = potential reversal or acceleration)
4. LEVEL CLUSTERING
When multiple timeframe levels are near each other, that zone becomes
significant. Price often reacts strongly at these areas.
Example: If 1H shows 4,115 and 30m shows 4,114, that 4,114-4,115 zone
is a high-probability reaction area.
5. TREND ALIGNMENT FOR ENTRIES
For highest-probability trades:
• Ensure at least the 1H and 4H (or Daily) agree on direction
• Use lower timeframe (5m/15m) levels for entry timing
• Place stops beyond the next timeframe's level

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
1. Use this indicator as a BIAS tool, not an entry signal
It tells you which direction to favor — you still need price action,
order flow, or another method to time entries.
2. Respect higher timeframe bias
Even if 5m and 15m turn bullish, if Daily is bearish, those longs are
counter-trend. Size smaller and take profits quicker.
3. Watch for color changes on your trading timeframe
A flip from green to gray (or red) is an early warning that momentum
may be shifting.
4. The displayed levels are dynamic
They trail price during trends but lock in during pullbacks. This is
by design — the levels only move in the direction of the trend.
5. Combine with volume or momentum
This indicator shows structure. Pair it with volume analysis or a
momentum oscillator to confirm strength of moves.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TIMEFRAMES ANALYZED
The indicator automatically pulls data from these fixed timeframes regardless
of what chart timeframe you're viewing:
• 5 Minute (5m) — Micro structure, scalp timing
• 15 Minute (15m) — Intraday swings
• 30 Minute (30m) — Intraday trend
• 1 Hour (1H) — Day trading bias
• 4 Hour (4H) — Swing trading bias
• Daily (1D) — Overall trend direction
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TROUBLESHOOTING
Panel not showing?
→ Make sure you're viewing on a timeframe equal to or lower than 5m
→ Check that the panel location isn't obscured by other indicators
All levels showing gray/neutral?
→ This can happen during ranging/consolidating markets
→ The multipliers may need adjustment for the instrument's volatility
Levels seem too far from price?
→ Reduce the Inner and Outer Multipliers
→ The defaults work well for index futures but may need tuning for
lower-volatility instruments
Proximity column never shows values?
→ Increase the Proximity Threshold setting
→ Current default (10.5) may be too tight for your instrument

QuantMotions - FVG with Volume TrackingFair Value Gap Detector with Dynamic Shrinking & Volume Analysis
Overview
Advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection indicator with real-time box shrinking and volume delta analysis. Automatically identifies price inefficiencies and tracks institutional volume flow within each gap.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so rapidly that a "gap" is left between three consecutive candles, creating an inefficiency where no trading occurred. These gaps often act as support/resistance zones that price tends to revisit.
Detection:
- Bullish FVG: When low > high (upward price inefficiency)
- Bearish FVG: When high < low (downward price inefficiency)
Key Features
Dynamic Box Shrinking
FVG boxes automatically shrink as price enters them:
- Bullish FVGs shrink from top as price moves down into the gap
- Bearish FVGs shrink from bottom as price moves up into the gap
- Provides precise visualization of remaining unfilled gap area
Volume Delta Analysis
Tracks volume characteristics for the 3-candle FVG formation:
- Total Volume: Sum of volume from all three FVG candles
- Up/Down Split: Separates buying vs selling pressure
- Delta %: Shows directional bias of volume flow
- Color Coding: Green/Red when volume confirms direction, Orange when it doesn't
Smart Filtering
- ATR-based minimum gap size - Filters out insignificant noise gaps
- Auto-cleanup - Removes fully filled FVGs automatically
- Maximum display limit - Keeps charts clean by limiting visible FVGs
Live Statistics
Real-time stats table showing:
- Active bullish/bearish FVG count
- Average volume delta for each direction
- Fill progress tracking
Settings
Min Gap Size (ATR): Minimum gap size as multiple of ATR(14). Default: 0.3
- Lower values (0.1-0.3): More sensitive, shows smaller gaps
- Higher values (0.5-1.0): More selective, only significant gaps
Max FVGs: Maximum number of FVG boxes to display (5-100)
Remove Fully Filled: Automatically remove FVGs when price completely fills them
Shrink on Partial Fill: Enable dynamic box shrinking as price enters gaps
Show Volume Info: Display volume delta labels at box edges
How to Use
1. Confluence Trading: Look for FVGs that align with your support/resistance levels
2. Volume Confirmation: Check volume delta - strong directional volume increases probability
3. Partial Fills: Watch for price reactions at shrinking FVG boundaries
4. Multiple Timeframes: Use on higher timeframes (4H+) for swing trading, lower timeframes for scalping
Best Practices
- Combine with trend analysis - FVGs in trend direction have higher fill rates
- Pay attention to volume delta - gaps with confirming volume are more reliable
- Use on liquid markets for accurate volume data
- Higher timeframe FVGs typically carry more significance
Notes
- Works on all timeframes and instruments
- Volume data accuracy depends on your data provider
- FVGs are not guaranteed support/resistance - use proper risk management
- This indicator shows historical inefficiencies, not future predictions

Advanced Custom Volume Profile [KRUTO]⚠️ LANGUAGE NOTICE: This script features a SLOVAK (SK) user interface (settings and tooltips).
This is a highly customizable and versatile Volume Profile indicator designed for precise market analysis. It separates itself from standard tools by offering dynamic anchoring modes, advanced HVN/LVN detection logic, and a "Smart Lines" feature that keeps your chart clean.
Key Features
1. Three Dynamic Anchoring Modes:
Fixed Range (Na čiare výberu): Define exact Start and End times manually. Includes vertical dashed lines to visualize the range.
Anchor to Last Candle (Na poslednej sviečke): Calculates volume from a specific start time up to the current live price. The profile is always anchored to the most recent bar.
Visible Range (Visible - Viditeľné sviečky): Dynamically calculates the profile based only on the candles currently visible on your screen. As you scroll or zoom, the profile updates automatically.
2. HVN & LVN Detection:
HVN (High Volume Nodes): Automatically highlights areas of high consolidation (Green zones). Includes a "merge tolerance" setting to group nearby nodes.
LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Highlights areas of low liquidity/rejection (Red zones).
3. Key Levels & Visuals:
Displays POC (Point of Control), VAH (Value Area High), and VAL (Value Area Low) with extendable lines.
Smart Offset: Keeps the profile at a fixed distance from the latest candle (or right edge) to prevent chart clutter.
Clean Look: Vertical range lines automatically disappear when not in "Fixed Range" mode.
Translation Guide (Slovak -> English)
Since the settings are in Slovak, here is a quick guide for English users:
Zdroj dát profilu (Source):
Na čiare výberu = Fixed Time Range

Previous Day Candle [ApexFX]Previous Day Candle is a precision tool designed for intraday traders who rely on previous daily structures to find support and resistance.
While most indicators simply mark the previous high and low, this tool focuses on Session Continuity. It highlights the full 24-hour range of the previous day and extends those levels into the "Killzone" of the current trading day (up to 2:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM MST).
Why use this? Market reaction often occurs at the previous day's extremes. By extending these lines into the current session, you can easily spot:
Breakouts: Price pushing through yesterday's high.
Failed Auctions: Price sweeping yesterday's low and reversing.
Support/Resistance Flips: Old highs becoming new support.
Main Features:
Asset Class Presets: Don't worry about timezones. Simply select your market:
Forex: Aligns to the standard 5:00 PM EST New York Open.
Indices: Aligns to the 6:00 PM EST Globex Open.
Crypto: Aligns to UTC Midnight.
Custom: Full manual control for specific needs.
Visual "Boxing": Vertical dotted lines clearly demarcate the start and end of the previous trading day.
Dynamic History: Choose to show just yesterday's levels or look back at the last 5+ days.
Smart Color Coding: The indicator automatically cycles colors for each day (Blue = Yesterday, Green = 2 Days Ago, etc.), making it instant to read historical price action.
Best Used On: Intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h).
Breakdown Sniper [Riz]Breakdown Sniper is a complete structural-based price-action system designed to identify and validate three major setups
1. Failed Breakdowns (FBD)
2. Breakouts / Breakdowns (BO)
3. Back-Tests (BT)
The script analyzes swing structure, undercuts, reclaim behavior, channel bias, support/resistance levels, and a multi-layer confluence engine to highlight high-quality long/short signals.
It also includes trade management, target projections, trailing logic, risk models, and an optional dashboard for clarity.
Core Concepts Behind the System
1. Pivot Structure & New Low/High Logic
Breakdown Sniper continuously detects pivot highs and lows using user-defined left/right bars.
These pivots are used to determine
⦁ Recent structural lows/highs
⦁ Undercuts (for failed breakdowns)
⦁ Structural breaks (for FBO/BO setups)
This provides the foundation for all three setup types.
2. Failed Breakdown (FBD) Detection
The primary logic of the script is to detect failed breakdowns, which follow this sequence:
1. Identify an initial pivot low
2. Price undercuts that low
3. Price reclaims the level by a specified number of points
4. Optional: new higher low print confirming strength
5. Once confirmed, the script calculates:
⦁ Entry trigger price
⦁ Stop placement (multiple options: below undercut, below initial low, ATR-based, fixed)
⦁ Three profit targets based on risk multiples
The reverse logic is applied for failed breakouts (FBO).
3. Breakouts & Breakdowns (BO)
The system also captures momentum breakouts/breakdowns defined by:
⦁ Price breaking major support/resistance
⦁ Bar-level strength (close vs range)
⦁ ATR-based expansion
⦁ Holding above/below breakout level for a user-defined number of bars
If confirmed, the script projects T1/T2/T3 targets and stop placement automatically.
4. Back-test Setups (BT)
After a confirmed breakout/breakdown, the script monitors for a return to the breakout level, within a percentage tolerance.
If a clean retest occurs:
⦁ A BT Long or BT Short setup is generated
⦁ Risk and target calculations are performed automatically
This allows identifying continuation setups after strong breaks.
Channel & Levels System (Support/Resistance Engine)
The script builds a hybrid S/R and environment model using:
⦁ Regression channel OR
⦁ Donchian, Keltner, Bollinger channels (user-selectable)
The channel provides:
⦁ Upper/Lower boundaries
⦁ Midline
⦁ Trend bias based on slope
Additionally, a multi-touch support/resistance detector clusters pivot-based levels and scores them by:
⦁ Touch count
⦁ Recency
⦁ Age
⦁ Whether they classify as major levels
This explains where reversals and breakouts are most likely.
Confluence Engine
Every Long/Short signal receives a 0–100 score derived from:
⦁ Market structure: HH/HL or LL/LH
⦁ Trend filter (EMA-based)
⦁ Volatility conditions (ATR range requirements)
⦁ Session bias (Asian / London / New York / Overlap)
⦁ Volume expansion
⦁ Higher-timeframe trend (optional)
⦁ Location inside channel
⦁ Distance to nearest S/R
⦁ Setup-type priority (FBD/BO/BT)
Users can require a minimum score before a signal becomes valid.
Trade Management Logic
Once a trade triggers, the indicator handles:
⦁ Entry execution confirmation
⦁ Stop loss tracking
⦁ Three independent profit targets
⦁ Optional scale-ins
⦁ ATR-based trailing stop
⦁ Risk calculations
⦁ Real-time PnL monitoring
The script does not execute live trades — it only visualizes management levels for analysis.
Visual Components
Breakdown Sniper plots:
⦁ Channels & fills
⦁ Auto-detected S/R levels
⦁ Pivot highs/lows
⦁ Buy/Sell markers
⦁ Entry/Stop/Targets
⦁ Trade dashboard (optional)
⦁ Equity curve (optional)
Everything is toggle-based for clean charting.
How To Use the Indicator
Recommended Use-Case
⦁ Futures (ES/NQ/CL/RTY)
⦁ Indices
⦁ Crypto
⦁ FX
Works well on:
⦁ 5m / 15m / 1H
Signals do not repaint because pivots and reclaim sequences require bar completion.
Basic Usage Steps
1. Enable the setups you want to trade: FBD, BO, BT
2. Optionally turn on filters:
⦁ Trend filter
⦁ Volatility filter
⦁ Market structure filter
⦁ MTF trend filter
3. Wait for a valid long/short signal with sufficient confluence
4. Follow the plotted entry level, stop, and targets
5. Use the dashboard to monitor performance of each setup type
Important Notes
This is a structural/price-action tool, not a prediction model
No guarantee of profitability is provided
The indicator is educational and analytical
Always use independent confirmation and risk management

Volume Cluster Support and Resistance Levels [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator identifies statistically significant support and resistance levels through volume cluster analysis, isolating price zones characterized by elevated trading activity and institutional participation. By quantifying areas where volume concentration exceeded historical norms, it reveals price levels with demonstrated supply-demand imbalances that exhibit persistent influence on subsequent price action. The methodology is asset-agnostic and timeframe-independent, applicable across equities, cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities from intraday to weekly intervals.
🟢 Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels
The indicator scans historical price data to identify bars where volume exceeds a user-defined threshold multiplier relative to the rolling average. For each qualifying bar, a representative price is calculated using the average of high, low, and close. Proximate price levels within a specified percentage range are then aggregated into discrete clusters using volume-weighted averaging, eliminating redundant signals. Clusters are ranked by cumulative volume to determine statistical significance. Finally, the indicator plots horizontal levels at each cluster price: support levels (green) below current price indicate zones where historical buying pressure exceeded selling pressure, while resistance levels (red) above current price mark zones where sellers historically dominated. These levels represent areas of established liquidity and price discovery, where institutional order flow previously concentrated.
The Touch Count (T) metric quantifies historical price interaction frequency, while Total Volume (TV) measures aggregate trading activity at each level, providing objective criteria for assessing level strength and trade execution decisions.
2. Volume Histogram
A histogram appears below the price chart, displaying relative volume for each bar within the lookback period, with bar height scaled to the maximum volume observed. Green bars represent up-periods (close > open) indicating buying pressure, while red bars show down-periods (close < open) indicating selling pressure. This visualization helps you confirm the validity of support/resistance levels by seeing where volume actually spiked, identify accumulation/distribution patterns, and validate breakouts by checking if they occur on above-average volume.
3. Built-in Alerts
Automated alerts trigger when price crosses below support levels or breaks above resistance levels, allowing you to monitor multiple assets without constant chart-watching.
4. Customizable Color Schemes
The indicator provides four preset color configurations (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Custom) optimized for visual clarity across different charting environments. Each scheme maintains consistent color mapping for support and resistance zones across both level lines and volume histogram components. The Custom configuration permits full color specification to accommodate individual charting setups, ensuring optimal visual contrast for extended analysis sessions.
Classic:
Aqua:
Cosmic:
Custom:
🟢 Pro Tips
→ Trade entry optimization: Execute long positions at support levels with high touch counts or upon confirmed resistance breakouts accompanied by above-average volume
→ Risk parameter definition: Position stop-loss orders near identified support/resistance zones with statistical significance to minimize premature exits
→ Breakout validation: Require volume confirmation exceeding historical average when price penetrates resistance to filter false breakouts
→ Level strength assessment: Prioritize levels with higher touch counts and total volume metrics for enhanced probability trade setups
→ Multi-timeframe confluence: Synthesize support/resistance levels across multiple timeframes to identify high-conviction zones where daily support aligns with 4-hour resistance structures

Previous D/W/M HLOCHey traders,
Here's a simple Multi-Timeframe indicator that essentially turns time and price into a box. It'll take the previous high, low, opening price, or closing price from one of the three timeframes of your choice (day, week, or month). For whatever reason I can't get the opening price to function consistently so if you find improvements feel free to let me know, this will help traders who prefer to use opening price over closing price.
Naturally this form of charting is classical and nature and some key figures you could use to study its usage are
- Richard W. Schabacker (1930s)
- Edwards & Magee (1948)
- Peter Brandt
- Stacey Burke (more on the intraday side - typically our preference)
It's usage put plainly:
- Quantifying Accumulation or Distribution
- Revealing Energy Build-Up (Compression)
- Framing Breakouts and False Breakouts
- Structuring Time
- Identifying opportunities to trade a daily, weekly, or monthly range.
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).

SMC FVG/IFVG (Multi-TF x 4) [ZAUTEC]SMC FVG/IFVG (Multi-TF x 4): Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap with Inversed FVG Detection
This powerful Pine Script indicator is designed to help traders identify, track, and manage Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their respective Inversed Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) across up to four different timeframes simultaneously.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (4x): Analyze and display FVGs from four distinct timeframes alongside your current chart, offering a comprehensive view of market imbalances across various scales.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: Automatically identifies classic three-candle FVGs (market inefficiencies).
Customizable FVG Length: Set how many bars the FVG boxes should initially extend for.
Minimum Gap Size: Filter out minor, insignificant gaps using a tick-based minimum size threshold.
Optional Box Extension: Dynamically extend FVG boxes to the current bar index or use a fixed extension for a cleaner chart.
Inversed FVG (IFVG) Logic: Detects a high-probability reversal pattern where a previously filled FVG zone is immediately followed by the formation of a new, opposite FVG within or adjacent to the same area. This confirms the old FVG has "flipped roles" (e.g., from support to resistance).
Lookback Period: Defines how long the indicator searches for a corresponding FVG breach to confirm the IFVG.
IFVG Minimum Size: Customizable minimum size threshold for the IFVG.
Dynamic Box Management:
Automatic Fill Deletion: FVGs are automatically removed from the chart when price action fully trades through the gap, signifying the imbalance has been "filled."
IFVG Tracking: IFVGs are tracked and removed from the chart after the configurable lookback period.
Full Customization: Control the visibility, colors, border styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and width for FVG, Bearish FVG, Bullish FVG, and IFVG boxes independently for each of the four timeframes.
How to Use
Select Timeframes: Choose up to four desired timeframes in the settings (e.g., "15" for 15-minute, "4H" for 4-hour, "D" for Daily). Leave the field empty to use the chart's current timeframe.
Toggle Visibility: Use the Show FVG and Show IFVG toggles to focus on the imbalances you wish to see.
Adjust Extension: Set Extend Boxes to bar index to true to keep all open FVG boxes drawn all the way to the current live price bar.
Interpret the Gaps:
FVG (Bullish/Bearish): Potential areas for price to return to and find support/resistance.
IFVG (Inverse FVG): Stronger signals that a previous zone of imbalance has been violated and is likely to act as a significant flip zone for future price movements.
This indicator is an essential tool for traders utilizing concepts like ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and SMC (Smart Money Concepts), providing a clear visual representation of market structure and liquidity voids.
HTF Order Blocks [TradeWithRon]HTF Order Blocks is a clean, multi-timeframe order-flow tool that maps bullish/bearish order blocks and optional breaker blocks from higher timeframes onto your current chart. It’s built for clarity and speed: minimal clutter, configurable labels, and optional Fibonacci extensions for quick projection work.
What it does
Identifies Order Blocks (OBs) using swing structure (configurable lookback).
Marks Breaker Blocks when an OB is breached and market structure flips.
Projects HTF zones from up to two higher timeframes (HTF1 & HTF2), with separate color themes.
Clean visuals: open lines, and smart label placement.
Optional Fibonacci extensions from each OB for quick confluence checks.
Alert-ready: receive alerts on creation of Bullish/Bearish OBs and Breakers.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Mapping
Enable HTF1 and/or HTF2 and project their OBs on your active chart.
Uses request.security() with lookahead_off to avoid future-bar leakage.
Fibonacci Add-On (optional)
How it works (logic overview)
Swing detection: Finds recent pivots using a lookback window.
OB creation:
Bullish OB: Created after price closes above a prior swing high, then scans the upswing for the most meaningful base candle range (high/low/open/close).
Bearish OB: Created after price closes below a prior swing low, with symmetric logic.
Breaker state:
A bullish OB turns breaker if price later closes below its base;
A bearish OB turns breaker if price closes above its base.
Cleanup: Breakers are removed if price subsequently recovers past the opposing OB boundary.
HTF OBs are detected on their native timeframe and projected to the active chart; confirmation occurs on the HTF bar’s close.
Continuation Suite v1 — 5m/15mContinuation Suite v1 — 5m/15m (Non-Repainting, S/R + Trend Continuation)
What it does
Continuation Suite v1 is a practical intraday toolkit that combines non-repainting trend-continuation signals with auto-built Support/Resistance (S/R) from confirmed pivots. It’s designed for fast, liquid names on 5m charts with an optional 15m higher-timeframe (HTF) overlay. You get: stacked-EMA bias, disciplined pullback+reclaim entries, optional volume/volatility gates, a “Strong” signal tier, solid S/R lines or zones, and a compact dashboard for fast reads.
⸻
Why traders use it
• Clear bias using fast/mid/slow EMA stacking.
• Actionable entries that require a pullback, a reclaim, and (optionally) a minor break of prior extremes.
• Signal quality gates (volume vs SMA, ATR%, ADX/DI alignment, EMA spacing, slope).
• Non-repainting logic when “Confirm on Close” = ON. Intrabar previews show what’s forming, but confirmed signals only print on bar close.
• S/R that matters: confirmed-pivot lines or ATR-sized zones, optional HTF overlay, and auto de-dup to avoid clutter.
⸻
Signal construction (no magic, just rules)
Bullish continuation (base):
1. Trend: EMA fast > EMA mid > EMA slow
2. Pullback: price pulls into the stack (lowest low or close vs EMA fast/mid over a lookback)
3. Reclaim: close > EMA fast and close > open
4. Break filter (optional): current bar takes out the prior bar’s high
5. Filters: volume > SMA (if enabled) and ATR% ≤ max (if enabled)
6. Cooldown: a minimum bar gap between signals
Bearish continuation (base): mirror of the above.
Strong signals: base conditions plus ADX ≥ threshold, DI alignment (DI+>DI- for longs; DI->DI+ for shorts), minimum EMA-spacing %, and minimum fast-EMA slope.
Reference stops:
• Longs: lowest low over the pullback lookback
• Shorts: highest high over the pullback lookback
Alerts are included for: Bullish Continuation, Bearish Continuation, STRONG Bullish, STRONG Bearish.
⸻
S/R engine (current TF + optional HTF)
• Builds S/R from confirmed pivots only (left/right bars).
• Choose Lines (midlines) or Zones (ATR-sized).
• Zones merge when a new pivot lands near an existing zone’s mid (ATR-scaled epsilon).
• Touches counter tracks significance; you can require a minimum to draw.
• HTF overlay (default 15m) draws separate lines/zones with tiny TF tags on the right.
• De-dup option hides current-TF zones that sit too close to HTF zones (ATR-scaled), reducing overlap.
• Freeze on Close (optional) keeps arrays stable intrabar; snapshots show levels immediately as bars open.
⸻
Presets
• Auto: Detects QQQ-like tickers (QQQ, QLD, QID) or SoFi; else defaults to Custom.
• QQQ: Tighter ATR% and EMA settings geared to index-ETF behavior.
• SoFi: Wider ATR allowances and longer mid/slow for single-name behavior.
• Custom: Expose all key inputs to tune for your product.
⸻
Dashboard (top-right)
• Preset in use
• Bias (Bullish CONT / Bearish CONT / Neutral)
• Strong (Yes/No)
• Volatility (ATR% bucket)
• Trend (ADX bucket)
• HTF timeframe tag
• Volume (bucket or “off”)
• Signals mode (Close-Confirmed vs Intrabar)
⸻
Inputs you’ll actually adjust
Trend/Signals
• Fast/Mid/Slow EMA lengths
• Pullback lookback, Min bars between signals
• Volume filter (vol > SMA N)
• ATR% max filter (cap excessive volatility)
• Require break of prior bar’s high/low
• “Strong” gates: min EMA slope, min EMA spacing %, ADX length & threshold
Support/Resistance
• Lines vs Zones
• Pivot left/right bars
• Extend left/right (bars)
• Max pivots kept (current & HTF)
• Zone width (× ATR), Merge epsilon (× ATR), Min gap (× ATR)
• Min touches, Max zones per side near price
• De-dup current TF vs HTF (× ATR)
Repainting control
• Confirm on Close: when ON, signals/SR finalize on bar close (non-repainting)
• Freeze on Close: freeze S/R intrabar with snapshot updates
• Show previews: translucent intrabar labels for what’s forming
⸻
How to use it (straightforward)
1. Load on 5-minute chart (baseline). Keep Confirm on Close ON if you hate repainting.
2. Use Bias + Strong + S/R context. If a long prints into HTF resistance, you have information.
3. Manage risk off the reference stop (pullback extreme). If ATR% reads “Great,” widen expectations; if “Poor,” size down or pass.
4. Alerts: wire the four alert types to your workflow.
⸻
Notes and constraints
• Designed for liquid symbols. Thin books and synthetic “volume” will degrade the volume gate.
• S/R is pivot-based. On very choppy tape, touch counts help. Increase min touches or switch to Lines to declutter.
• If your chart timeframe isn’t 5m, behavior changes because lengths are in bars, not minutes. Tune lengths accordingly.
⸻
Disclaimers
This is a research tool. No signals are guaranteed. Markets change, outliers happen, slippage is real. Nothing here is financial advice—use your own judgment and risk management.

Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR BandsThe Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR Bands indicator is a dual-equilibrium concept that fuses price-range structure and traded-volume flow into one continuously updating hybrid model. Traditional VWAPs reset each session and reflect where trading occurred by volume, while midpoints used here reveal where price has structurally balanced between extremes. This script merges both ideas into a cohesive, dynamic system. The Rolling Price Midpoint (50 % of range) represents the structural fair-value line, calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected window. The Rolling VWAP (Volume-Weighted Window) tracks the flow-based fair-value line by weighting each bar’s typical price by its volume. Together, these components form the Hybrid Equilibrium — the adaptive center of gravity that shifts as price and volume evolve. Surrounding this equilibrium, ATR Bands at ± 2.226 ATR and ± 5.382 ATR define volatility envelopes that expand and contract with market energy. The result is a living cloud that breathes with the market: compressing during phases of balance and widening during impulsive movements, offering traders a clear visual framework for understanding equilibrium, volatility, and directional bias in real time.
➖
⚙️ Auto-Preset System
The Auto-Preset System intelligently adjusts lookback windows for both the Price Midpoint and VWAP calculations according to the active chart timeframe.
This ensures that the indicator automatically adapts to any trading style — from scalping on 1-minute charts to swing trading on daily or weekly charts — without manual tuning.
🔹 How It Works
When Auto-Preset mode is enabled, the script dynamically selects the most effective lookback lengths for each timeframe.
These presets are optimized to balance responsiveness and stability, maintaining consistent real-world coverage (e.g., the same approximate duration of price data) across all intervals.
📊 Preset Mapping Table
| Chart Timeframe | Price Midpoint Lookback | VWAP Lookback |
|:----------------:|:-----------------------:|:--------------:|
| 1–3m | 13 bars | 21 bars
| 5–10m | 21 bars | 34 bars
| 15–30m | 34 bars | 55 bars
| 1–2 hr | 55 bars | 89 bars
| 4 hr-1D | 89 bars | 144 bars
| 1W | 144 bars | 233 bars
| 1M | 233 bars | 377 bars
⚡ Notes & Customization
- Manual Override: Turn off Auto-Preset Mode to specify your own custom lookback lengths.
- Consistency Across Scales: These adaptive values keep the indicator visually coherent when switching between timeframes — avoiding distortions that can occur with static lengths.
- Practical Benefit: Traders can maintain a single chart layout that self-tunes seamlessly, removing the need to manually recalibrate settings when shifting from short-term to long-term analysis.
In short, the Auto-Preset System is designed to make this hybrid equilibrium tool timeframe-aware — automatically scaling its logic so that the cloud behaves consistently, regardless of chart resolution.
➖
🌐 Hybrid Equilibrium Envelope
The core hybrid midpoint acts as the mean of structural (price) and volumetric (VWAP) balance.
ATR-based bands project natural expansion zones:
🔸+2.226 / –2.226 ATR → inner equilibrium (controlled trend)
*🔸+5.382 / –5.382 ATR → outer volatility extension (over-stretch / reversion zones)
Color-coded fills show regime strength:
* 🟧 Upper Outer (+5.382) – strong bullish expansion
* 🟩 Upper Inner (+2.226) – trending equilibrium
* 🔴 Lower Inner (–2.226) – mild bearish control
* 🟣 Lower Outer (–5.382) – volatility exhaustion
➖
🧭 Higher-Timeframe Framework
Two macro anchors — Price length of 144 and VWAP length of 233 — outline higher-timeframe bias zones. These help confirm when local momentum aligns with (or fades against) long-term structure.
Labels on the right show active lookback values for quick readout:
`$(13) V(21)` → current rolling pair
`$144 / V233` → macro anchors
➖
🧩 Chart Examples
**AMD 15m (Equilibrium Expansion)**
Price steadily rides above the hybrid midpoint as teal and orange (bullish) ATR zones widen, confirming a phase of controlled bullish volatility and healthy trend expansion.
BTCUSD 1m (Volatility Compression)
Bitcoin coils tightly inside the teal-to-maroon equilibrium bands before breaking out.
The hybrid midpoint flattens and ATR envelopes contract, signaling a state of balance before volatility expansion.
ETHUSD 15m (Transition from Compression → Impulse)
Ethereum transitions from purple-zone compression into a clear upper-band expansion.
The hybrid midpoint breaks above the macro VWAP 233, confirming the shift from equilibrium to directional momentum.
SOFI 1m (Micro Bias Reversal)
SOFI’s intraday structure flips as price reclaims the hybrid midpoint.
The macro VWAP 233 flattens, signaling a transition from oversold lower bands back toward equilibrium and early trend recovery.
➖
🎯 How to Use
1. Bias Detection – Price > Hybrid Midpoint → bullish; < → bearish.
2. Volatility Gauge – Watch band spacing for compression / expansion cycles.
3. Confluence Checks – Align Hybrid Midpoint with HTF 233 VWAP for strong continuation signals.
4. Mean Reversion Zones – Outer bands highlight areas where probability of snap-back increases.

🏁 Final Word
This script is more than a visual overlay — it’s a complete trend and structure framework built to adapt with market rhythm. It helps traders visualize equilibrium, momentum, and volatility as one cohesive system. Whether you’re seeking clean trend alignment, dynamic support/resistance, or early warning signs of reversals, this indicator is tuned to help you react with confidence — not hindsight.
➖
Remember — no single indicator should ever stand alone. For best results, pair it with price action context, higher-timeframe structure, and complementary tools such as moving averages or trendlines. Use it to confirm setups, not define them in isolation.
💡 Turn logic into clarity, structure into trades, and uncertainty into confidence.
Supply & Demand Zones [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Supply & Demand (Support & Resistance) Zones indicator identifies price levels where significant buying and selling pressure historically emerged, using swing point analysis and pattern recognition to mark high-probability reversal and continuation areas. Unlike conventional support/resistance tools that draw arbitrary horizontal lines, this indicator can automatically detect structural zones, offering traders systematic entry and exit levels where institutional order flow likely congregates across any market or timeframe.
🟢 How to Use
# Zone Types:
Green/Demand Zones: Support areas where buying pressure historically emerged, representing potential long entry opportunities where price may bounce or consolidate before moving higher. These zones mark levels where buyers previously overcame sellers.
Red/Supply Zones: Resistance areas where selling pressure historically dominated, indicating potential short entry opportunities where price may reverse or stall before declining. These zones identify levels where sellers previously overwhelmed buyers.
# Zone Pattern Types:
Wick Rejection Zones: Zones created from candles with exceptionally long wicks showing violent price rejection. A demand rejection occurs when price drops sharply but closes well above the low, forming a long lower wick (relative to the total candle range) that demonstrates buyers aggressively defending that level. A supply rejection shows price spiking higher but closing well below the high, with the long upper wick proving sellers rejected that price aggressively. These zones often represent major institutional orders that absorbed significant market pressure. The rejection wick ratio setting controls how prominent the wick must be (higher ratios require more dramatic rejections and produce fewer but higher-quality zones).
Continuation Demand Zones: Areas where price rallied upward, paused in a brief consolidation base, then rallied again. This pattern confirms strong buying continuation (the consolidation represents profit-taking or minor pullbacks that failed to attract meaningful selling). When price returns to these zones, buyers who missed the initial rally often provide support, making them high-probability long entries within established uptrends. These zones follow the classic Rally-Base-Rally structure, demonstrating that buyers remain in control even during temporary pauses.
Reversal Demand Zones: Zones where price dropped, formed a consolidation base, then reversed into a rally. This structure marks potential trend reversals or major swing lows where buyers finally overwhelmed sellers after a decline. The base period represents accumulation by stronger hands, and these zones frequently appear at market bottoms or as significant pullback support within larger uptrends, signaling shifts in market control. These zones follow the Drop-Base-Rally pattern, showing the moment when selling pressure exhausted and buying interest emerged.
Continuation Supply Zones: Areas where price dropped, consolidated briefly, then dropped again. This pattern demonstrates strong selling continuation (the pause represents temporary buying attempts that failed to generate meaningful recovery). When price returns to these zones, sellers who missed the initial decline often provide resistance, creating short entry opportunities within established downtrends. These zones follow the Drop-Base-Drop structure, confirming that sellers maintain dominance even during temporary consolidations.
Reversal Supply Zones: Zones where price rallied upward, formed a consolidation base, then reversed into a decline. This formation identifies potential trend reversals or major swing highs where sellers overcame buyers after an advance. The base period often represents distribution by institutional participants, and these zones commonly appear at market tops or as key pullback resistance within larger downtrends, marking transfers of market control from buyers to sellers. These zones follow the Rally-Base-Drop pattern, capturing the transition point when buying exhaustion meets aggressive selling.
# Zone Mitigation Methods:
Wick Mitigation: Zones become invalidated immediately upon first contact by any wick. This assumes zones work only on their initial test, reflecting the belief that institutional orders concentrated at these levels get completely filled on first touch. Best for traders seeking only the highest-probability, untested zones and willing to accept that zones invalidate frequently in volatile markets. When price touches a zone boundary with even a single wick, that zone is considered "used up" and becomes mitigated.
Close Mitigation: Zones remain valid through wick penetration but become invalidated only when a candle closes through the zone boundary. This method allows price to briefly probe the zone with wicks while requiring actual commitment (a close) for invalidation. Suitable for traders who recognize that zones can withstand initial tests and prefer filtering out false breakouts caused by temporary volatility or liquidity hunts. A zone stays active as long as candles close within or outside it, regardless of wick penetration, until a close occurs beyond the boundary.
Full Body Mitigation: Zones stay valid until an entire candle body exists completely beyond the zone boundary, meaning both the open and close must be outside the zone. This approach maintains zone validity through partial penetrations, accommodating the reality that institutional zones can absorb considerable price action before exhausting. Ideal for volatile markets or traders who believe zones represent price ranges rather than precise levels, and who want zones to persist through aggressive but ultimately rejected breakout attempts. Only when both the open and close of a candle are beyond the zone does it become mitigated.
🟢 Pro Tips for Trading and Investing
→ Preset Selection: Choose presets matching your preferred timeframe - Scalping (M1-M30) for aggressive detection on minute charts, Intraday (H1-H12) for balanced filtering on hourly timeframes, or Swing Trading (1D+) for strict filtering on daily charts. Each preset automatically optimizes swing length, zone strength, and max zone counts for the selected timeframe.
→ Input Calibration: Adjust Swing Length based on market speed (lower values 3-7 for fast markets, higher values 12-20 for slower markets). Set Minimum Zone Strength according to asset volatility (0.05-0.15% for low-volatility assets, 0.25-0.5% for high-volatility assets). Tune Rejection Wick Ratio higher (0.6-0.8) for strict wick filtering or lower (0.3-0.5) to capture more subtle rejections.
→ Zone Pattern Toggle Strategy: Pattern types are mutually exclusive - enable Continuation OR Reversal patterns for each zone type, not both together. Recommended combinations: For trend trading, enable Rejection + Continuation (2-4 toggles total). For reversal trading, enable Rejection + Reversal (2-4 toggles). For scalping, enable only Rejection zones (1-2 toggles). Maximum 3-4 active toggles provides optimal chart clarity. A simple Wick Rejection toggle can also work on virtually any market and timeframe.
→ Mitigation Method Selection: Use Wick mitigation in clean trending markets for strict zone invalidation on first touch. Use Close mitigation in moderate volatility to filter out temporary spikes. Use Full Body mitigation in highly volatile markets to keep zones active through whipsaws and false breakouts.
→ Alert Configuration: Utilize built-in alerts for new zone creation, zone touches, and zone breaks. New zone alerts notify when fresh supply/demand areas form. Zone touch alerts signal potential entry opportunities as price reaches zones. Zone break alerts indicate when levels fail, signaling possible trend acceleration or structure changes.
