Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levelsYelober – Market Internals + Key Levels is a focused intraday trading tool that helps you spot high-probability price direction by anchoring decisions to structure that matters: yesterday’s RTH High/Low, today’s pre-market High/Low, and a fast Value Area/POC from the prior session. Paired with a compact market internals dashboard (NYSE/NASDAQ UVOL vs. DVOL ratios, VOLD slopes, TICK/TICKQ momentum, and optional VIX trend), it gives you a real-time read on breadth so you can choose which direction to trade, when to enter (breaks, retests, or fades at PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC), and how to plan exits as internals confirm or deteriorate. On top of these intraday decision benefits, it also allows traders—in a very subtle but powerful way—to keep an eye on the VIX and immediately recognize significant spikes or sharp decreases that should be factored in before entering a trade, or used as a quick signal to modify an existing position. In short: clear levels for the chart, live internals for the context, and a smarter, rules-based path to execution.
# Yelober – Market Internals + Key Levels
*A TradingView indicator for session key levels + real‑time market internals (NYSE/NASDAQ TICK, UVOL/DVOL/VOLD, and VIX).*
**Script name in Pine:** `Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levels` (Pine v6)
---
## 1) What this indicator does
**Purpose:** Help intraday traders quickly find high‑probability reaction zones and read market internals momentum without switching charts. It overlays yesterday/today’s **automatic price levels** on your active chart and shows a **market breadth table** that summarizes NYSE/NASDAQ buying pressure and TICK direction, with an optional VIX trend read.
### Key features at a glance
* **Automatic Price Levels (overlay on chart)**
* Yesterday’s High/Low of Day (**yHoD**, **yLoD**)
* Extended Hours High/Low (**yEHH**, **yEHL**) across yesterday AH + today pre‑market
* Today’s Pre‑Market High/Low (**PMH**, **PML**)
* Yesterday’s **Value Area High/Low** (**VAH/VAL**) and **Point of Control (POC)** computed from a volume profile of yesterday’s **regular session**
* Smart de‑duplication:
* Shows **only the higher** of (yEHH vs PMH) and **only the lower** of (yEHL vs PML) to avoid redundant bands
* **Market Breadth Table (on‑chart table)**
* **NYSE ratio** = UVOL/DVOL (signed) with **VOLD slope** from session open
* **NASDAQ ratio** = UVOLQ/DVOLQ (signed) with **VOLDQ slope** from session open
* **TICK** and **TICKQ**: live cumulative ratio and short‑term slope
* **VIX** (optional): current value + slope over a configurable lookback/timeframe
* Color‑coded trends with sensible thresholds and optional normalization
---
## 2) How to use it (trader workflow)
1. **Mark your reaction zones**
* Watch **yHoD/yLoD**, **PMH/PML**, and **VAH/VAL/POC** for first touches, break/retest, and failure tests.
* Expect increased responsiveness when multiple levels cluster (e.g., PMH ≈ VAH ≈ daily pivot).
2. **Read the breadth panel for context**
* **NYSE/NASDAQ ratio** (>1 = more up‑volume than down‑volume; <−1 = down‑dominant). Strong green across both favors long setups; red favors short setups.
* **VOLD slopes** (NYSE & NASDAQ): positive and accelerating → broadening participation; negative → persistent pressure.
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative ratio and **slope arrows** (↗ / ↘ / →). Use the slope to gauge **near‑term thrust or fade**.
* **VIX slope**: rising VIX (red) often coincides with risk‑off; falling VIX (green) with risk‑on.
3. **Confluence = higher confidence**
* Example: Price reclaims **PMH** while **NYSE/NASDAQ ratios** print green and **TICK slopes** point ↗ — consider break‑and‑go; if VIX slope is ↘, that adds risk‑on confidence.
* Example: Price rejects **VAH** while **VOLD slopes** roll negative and VIX ↗ — consider fade/reversal.
4. **Risk management**
* Place stops just beyond key levels tested; if breadth flips, tighten or exit.
> **Timeframes:** Works best on 1–15m charts for intraday. Value Area is computed from **yesterday’s RTH**; choose a smaller calculation timeframe (e.g., 5–15m) for stable profiles.
---
## 3) Inputs & settings (what each option controls)
### Global Style
* **Enable all automatic price levels**: master toggle for yHoD/yLoD, yEHH/yEHL, PMH/PML, VAH/VAL/POC.
* **Line style/width**: applies to all drawn levels.
* **Label size/style** and **label color linking**: use the same color as the line or override with a global label color.
* **Maximum bars lookback**: how far the script scans to build yesterday metrics (performance‑sensitive).
### Value Area / Volume Profile
* **Enable Value Area calculations** *(on by default)*: computes yesterday’s **POC**, **VAH**, **VAL** from a simplified intraday volume profile built from yesterday’s **regular session bars**.
* **Max Volume Profile Points** *(default 50)*: lower values = faster; higher = more precise.
* **Value Area Calculation Timeframe** *(default 15)*: the security timeframe used when collecting yesterday’s highs/lows/volumes.
### Individual Level Toggles & Colors
* **yHoD / yLoD** (yesterday high/low)
* **yEHH / yEHL** (yesterday AH + today pre‑market extremes)
* **PMH / PML** (today pre‑market extremes)
* **VAH / VAL / POC** (yesterday RTH value area + point of control)
### Market Breadth Panel
* **Show NYSE / NASDAQ / VIX**: choose which series to display in the table.
* **Table Position / Size / Background Color**: UI placement and legibility.
* **Slope Averaging Periods** *(default 5)*: number of recent TICK/TICKQ ratio points used in slope calculation.
* **Candles for Rate** *(default 10)* & **Normalize Rate**: VIX slope calculation as % change between `now` and `n` candles ago; normalize divides by `n`.
* **VIX Timeframe**: optionally compute VIX on a higher TF (e.g., 15, 30, 60) for a smoother regime read.
* **Volume Normalization** (NYSE & NASDAQ): display VOLD slopes scaled to `tens/thousands/millions/10th millions` for readable magnitudes; color thresholds adapt to your choice.
---
## 4) Data sources & definitions
* **UVOL/VOLD (NYSE)** and **UVOLQ/DVOLQ/VOLDQ (NASDAQ)** via `request.security()`
* **Ratio** = `UVOL/DVOL` (signed; negative when down‑volume dominates)
* **VOLD slope** ≈ `(VOLD_now − VOLD_open) / bars_since_open`, then normalized per your setting
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative sum of prints this session with **positives vs negatives ratio**, plus a simple linear regression **slope** of the last `N` ratio values
* **VIX**: value and slope across a user‑selected timeframe and lookback
* **Sessions (EST/EDT)**
* **Regular:** 09:30–16:00
* **Pre‑Market:** 04:00–09:30
* **After Hours:** 16:00–20:00
* **Extended‑hours extremes** combine **yesterday AH** + **today PM**
> **Note:** All session checks are done with TradingView’s `time(…,"America/New_York")` context. If your broker’s RTH differs (e.g., futures), adjust expectations accordingly.
---
## 5) How the algorithms work (plain English)
### A) Key Levels
* **Yesterday’s RTH High/Low**: scans yesterday’s bars within 09:30–16:00 and records the extremes + bar indices.
* **Extended Hours**: scans yesterday AH and today PM to get **yEHH/yEHL**. Script shows **either yEHH or PMH** (whichever is **higher**) and **either yEHL or PML** (whichever is **lower**) to avoid duplicate bands stacked together.
* **Value Area & POC (RTH only)**
* Build a coarse volume profile with `Max Volume Profile Points` buckets across the price range formed by yesterday’s RTH bars.
* Distribute each bar’s volume uniformly across the buckets it spans (fast approximation to keep Pine within execution limits).
* **POC** = bucket with max volume. **VA** expands from POC outward until **70%** of cumulative volume is enclosed → yields **VAH/VAL**.
### B) Market Breadth Table
* **NYSE/NASDAQ Ratio**: signed UVOL/DVOL with basic coloring.
* **VOLD Slopes**: from session open to current, normalized to human‑readable units; colors flip green/red based on thresholds that map to your normalization setting (e.g., ±2M for NYSE, ±3.5×10M for NASDAQ).
* **TICK/TICKQ Slope**: linear regression over the last `N` ratio points → **↗ / → / ↘** with the rounded slope value.
* **VIX Slope**: % change between now and `n` candles ago (optionally divided by `n`). Red when rising beyond threshold; green when falling.
---
## 6) Recommended presets
* **Stocks (liquid, intraday)**
* Value Area **ON**, `Max Volume Points` = **40–60**, **Timeframe** = **5–15**
* Breadth: show **NYSE & NASDAQ & VIX**, `Slope periods` = **5–8**, `Candles for rate` = **10–20**, **Normalize VIX** = **ON**
* **Index futures / very high‑volume symbols**
* If you see Pine timeouts, set `Max Volume Points` = **20–40** or temporarily **disable Value Area**.
* Keep breadth panel **ON** (it’s light). Consider **VIX timeframe = 15/30** for regime clarity.
---
## 7) Tips, edge cases & performance
* **Performance:** The volume profile is capped (`maxBarsToProcess ≤ 500` and bucketed) to keep it responsive. If you experience slowdowns, reduce `Max Volume Points`, `Maximum bars lookback`, or disable Value Area.
* **Redundant lines:** The script **intentionally suppresses** PMH/PML when yEHH/yEHL are more extreme, and vice‑versa.
* **Label visibility:** Use `Label style = none` if you only want clean lines and read values from the right‑end labels.
* **Futures/RTH differences:** Value Area is from **yesterday’s RTH** only; for 24h instruments the RTH period may not reflect overnight structure.
* **Session transitions:** PMH/PML tracking stops as soon as RTH starts; values persist as static levels for the session.
---
## 8) Known limitations
* Uses public TradingView symbols: `UVOL`, `VOLD`, `UVOLQ`, `DVOLQ`, `VOLDQ`, `TICK`, `TICKQ`, `VIX`. If your data plan or region limits any symbol, the corresponding table rows may show `na`.
* The VA/POC approximation assumes uniform distribution of each bar’s volume across its high–low. That’s fast but not a tick‑level profile.
* Works best on US equities with standard NY session; alternative sessions may need code changes.
---
## 9) Troubleshooting
* **“Script is too slow / timed out”** → Lower `Max Volume Points`, lower `Maximum bars lookback`, or toggle **OFF** `Enable Value Area calculations` for that instrument.
* **Missing breadth values** → Ensure the symbols above load on your account; try reloading chart or switching timeframes once.
* **Overlapping labels** → Set `Label style = none` or reduce label size.

## 11) Quick start (TL;DR)
1. Add the indicator and **keep default settings**.
2. Trade **reactions** at yHoD/yLoD/PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC.
3. Use the **breadth table**: look for **green ratios + ↗ slopes** (risk‑on) or **red ratios + ↘ slopes** (risk‑off). Check **VIX** slope for confirmation.
4. Manage risk around levels; when breadth flips against you, tighten or exit.

Candle Channel█ OVERVIEW
The "Candle Channel" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool that plots a price channel based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of candlestick midpoints. The channel bands, calculated based on candlestick volatility, form dynamic support and resistance levels that adapt to price movements. The script generates signals for reversals from the bands and SMA breakouts, making it useful for both short-term and long-term traders. By adjusting the SMA length, the channel can vary in nature—from a wide channel encapsulating price movement to narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands. The channel width can be further customized using a scaling parameter, allowing adaptation to different trading styles and markets.
█ MECHANISM
Band Calculation
The indicator is based on the following calculations:
Candlestick Midpoint: Calculated as the arithmetic average of the candle’s high and low prices: (high + low) / 2.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The average of candlestick midpoints over a specified length (default: 20 candles), forming the channel’s centerline.
Average Candle Height: Calculated as the average difference between the high and low prices (high - low) over the same SMA length, serving as a measure of market volatility.
Band Scaling: The user specifies a percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%), which is multiplied by the average height to create an offset. The upper band is SMA + offset, and the lower band is SMA - offset.Example: For an average candle height of 10 points and 200% scaling, the offset is 20 points, meaning the bands are ±20 points from the SMA.
Channel Characteristics: The SMA length determines the channel’s dynamics. Shorter SMA values (10–30) create a wide channel that contains price movement, ideal for scalping or short-term trading. Longer SMA values (above 30, e.g., 50–100) transform the channel into narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, suitable for longer-term analysis. Band scaling further adjusts the channel width to match market volatility.
Signals
Reversal from Bands: Signals are generated when the price closes outside the band (above the upper or below the lower) and then returns to the channel, indicating a potential trend reversal.
SMA Breakout: Signals are generated when the price crosses the SMA upward (bullish signal) or downward (bearish signal), suggesting potential trend changes.
Visualization
Centerline: The SMA of candlestick midpoints, displayed as a thin line.
Channel Bands: Upper and lower channel boundaries, with customizable colors.
Fill: Options include a gradient (smooth color transition between bands) or solid color. The fill can also be disabled for greater clarity.
█ FEATURES AND SETTINGS
SMA Length: Determines the moving average period (default: 20). Values of 10–30 are suitable for a wide channel containing price movement, ideal for short-term timeframes. Longer values (e.g., 50–100) create narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, better suited for higher timeframes.
Band Scaling: Percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%). Adjusts the channel width to match market volatility—smaller values (e.g., 50–100%) for narrower bands, larger values (e.g., 200–300%) for wider channels.
Fill Type: Gradient, solid, or no fill, allowing customization to user preferences.
Colors: Options to change the colors of bands, fill, and signals for better readability.
Signals: Options to enable/disable reversal signals from bands and SMA breakout signals.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the script to your chart in TradingView by clicking "Add to Chart" in the Pine Editor.
Adjust input parameters in the script settings:
SMA Length: Set to 10–30 for a wide channel containing price movement, suitable for scalping or short-term trading. Set above 30 (e.g., 50–100) for narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands.
Band Scaling: Adjust the channel width to market volatility. Smaller values (50–100%) for tighter support/resistance bands, larger values (200–300%) for wider channels containing price movement.
Fill Type and Colors: Choose a gradient for aesthetics or a solid fill for clarity.
Analyze signals:
Reversal Signals: Triangles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate potential reversal points.
SMA Breakout Signals: Circles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate trend changes.
Test the indicator on different instruments and timeframes to find optimal settings for your trading style.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator may generate false signals in highly volatile or consolidating markets.
On low-liquidity charts (e.g., exotic currency pairs), the bands may be less reliable.
Effectiveness depends on properly matching parameters to the market and timeframe.

Price Deviation Table by ZonkeyXLProvides a 30 column table showing price deviation per bar close, highlighting larger deviations in red (downside) or green (upside).
Deviations that get highlighted in red/green are calculated to be 2x the amount of price movement in the previous candle, but can be customised to check any deviation size you want in the options panel.
Can be used on any timeframe but you need to specify the number of bars per table column to make it accurate to what you want.
Examples:
If used on the 1 second time frame you could specify bars to 1 and then each column value will check the price as at close on the most recent second for deviations against the close of price on the second prior, showing comparisons up to 30 seconds.
If on the 1 minute time-frame you could specify bars to 2 and then each column value would show deviations from most recent price close to 2 minutes ago, making all 30 columns show deviations for up to an hour.
At the end of the column are 3 orange coloured columns. The first one compares price to 10 bars ago. The second compares current price to 20 bars ago. The 3rd compares current price to 30 bars ago.
In our example on the 1 second above, this would mean deviation is calculated by comparing most recent close to 10 seconds ago, then to 20 seconds ago, and then to 30 seconds ago. The final 3 columns do not highlight red or green, so you can differentiate them properly from the main deviation columns at all times.
Note that the table is rolling - so once it is populated for the first time, only the final column will update while the prior values will shift one column to the left.
MA Crossover Strategy with TP/SL (5 EMA Filter)How the Strategy Works on a 5-Minute Chart:
Data Input (5-Minute Candles):
Every single data point (candle) on your chart will represent 5 minutes of price action (Open, High, Low, Close for that 5-minute period).
All calculations (MAs, EMA, signals) will be based on these 5-minute price data points.
Moving Average Calculations:
Fast MA (10-period SMA): This will be the Simple Moving Average of the closing prices of the last 10 five-minute candles. It reacts relatively quickly to recent price changes.
Slow MA (30-period SMA): This will be the Simple Moving Average of the closing prices of the last 30 five-minute candles. It represents a slightly longer-term trend compared to the Fast MA.
5 EMA (5-period EMA): This is the Exponential Moving Average of the closing prices of the last 5 five-minute candles. Being an EMA, it gives more weight to the most recent 5-minute prices, making it very responsive to immediate price action.
Signal Generation (Entry Conditions):
Long Entry Signal:
The 10-period SMA crosses above the 30-period SMA (indicating a potential bullish shift in the short-to-medium term trend).
AND the current 5-minute candle's closing price is above the 5-period EMA (confirming that the immediate price momentum is also bullish and supporting the crossover).
If both conditions are met at the close of a 5-minute candle, a "Buy" signal is generated.
Short Entry Signal:
The 10-period SMA crosses below the 30-period SMA (indicating a potential bearish shift).
AND the current 5-minute candle's closing price is below the 5-period EMA (confirming immediate bearish momentum).
If both conditions are met at the close of a 5-minute candle, a "Sell" signal is generated.
Trade Execution:
When a signal is triggered, the strategy enters a trade (long or short) at the closing price of that 5-minute candle.
Immediately upon entry, it places two contingent orders:
Take Profit (Target): Set at 2% (by default) away from your entry price. For a long trade, it's 2% above; for a short trade, 2% below.
Stop Loss: Set at 1% (by default) away from your entry price. For a long trade, it's 1% below; for a short trade, 1% above.
The trade will remain open until either the Take Profit or Stop Loss price is hit by subsequent 5-minute candles.
Implications for Trading on a 5-Minute Chart:
Increased Trade Frequency: You will likely see many more signals and trades compared to higher timeframes (like 1-hour or daily charts). This means more potential opportunities but also more transaction costs (commissions, slippage).
Sensitivity to Noise: Lower timeframes are more prone to "market noise" – small, random price fluctuations that don't indicate a true trend. While the 5 EMA filter helps, some false signals might still occur.
Faster Price Action: Price movements can be very rapid on a 5-minute chart. Your take profit or stop loss levels might be hit very quickly, sometimes within the same or next few candles.
Parameter Optimization is Crucial: The default MA lengths (10, 30) and EMA (5) might not be optimal for every asset or market condition on a 5-minute chart. You'll need to backtest extensively and potentially adjust these lengths, as well as the targetPerc and stopPerc, to find what works best for the specific instrument you're trading.
Risk Management: The fixed percentage stop loss is vital on a 5-minute chart due to its volatility. Without it, a few unfavorable moves could lead to significant losses.
X ORTX ORT — Opening Range & Time Reference Tool
Overview
The X ORT indicator is a precision tool designed for intraday traders seeking to anchor their trading decisions to high-probability price levels. It captures key market reference points including Opening Ranges, Settlement Prices, and Time-Specific Opens, all based on New York time, to help identify potential pivots and directional bias in the market.
Key Features & Usage
🔹 Opening Range Boxes (ORs)
The indicator defines up to two customizable Opening Ranges (e.g., 9:30–9:59 and 8:20–8:49 ET). Each range dynamically tracks the high, low, and midpoint price as the session unfolds, and continues to extend those levels forward throughout the day.
Use as Pivots: The high and low of the Opening Range often act as intraday support and resistance zones. A breakout above the ORH (Opening Range High) may signal bullish intent, while a drop below the ORL (Opening Range Low) may suggest bearish momentum.
Use for Directional Bias: If price remains above or below the range after completion, it may indicate a continuation in that direction. The midpoint (dashed line) serves as a mean-reversion or fair value pivot.
🔸 Settlement Price Anchors
The indicator optionally plots Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Settlement Prices, which are significant institutional reference points.
Use as Market Anchors: Settlement prices are often used by professionals to gauge positioning. Price acceptance above or below settlement can signal strength or weakness and guide directional trades.
Historical weekly and monthly settlements help define multi-day or swing levels for broader context.
🔹 Time-Based Open Levels
X ORT also draws horizontal lines at the open price of specific time points: Midnight, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, and 1:30 PM ET.
Use for Session Anchors: These reference opens are useful for understanding session shifts, aligning with key economic releases (like 8:30 AM), and gauging session-to-session continuity.
Why Use X ORT?
Objective Structure: Provides rule-based levels to avoid emotional trading.
Visual Clarity: Transparent, extendable boxes and labeled lines help traders focus on key decision zones.
Multi-Time Context: Blends intraday and higher timeframe levels to support short-term and swing traders.
Whether you're breakout trading, fading range extremes, or gauging market bias, X ORT offers a reliable structural foundation that aligns with how professionals track price behavior throughout the trading day.
80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)I created this script to show the 80% opportunity on chart if setting lines up.
"80% rule: Open outside the vah or Val. Spend 30 mins outside there then break back inside spend 15 mins below or above depending which way u broke. Then come back and retest the vah/val and take it to the poc as a first target with the final target being the other Val/vah "
📌 Script Summary
The "80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)" overlays your chart with prior session value area levels (VAH, VAL, and POC) calculated from extended-hours 30-minute data. It tracks when the price reenters the value area and confirms 80% Rule setups during your chosen trading session.

Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator [Alpha Extract]The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator combines the smoothing characteristics of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks with mean reversion analysis to create a powerful momentum oscillator. This indicator applies Heikin-Ashi transformation twice - first to price data and then to the oscillator itself - resulting in smoother signals while maintaining sensitivity to trend changes and potential reversal points.
🔶 CALCULATION
Heikin-Ashi Transformation: Converts regular OHLC data to smoothed Heikin-Ashi values
Component Analysis: Calculates trend strength, body deviation, and price deviation from mean
Oscillator Construction: Combines components with weighted formula (40% trend strength, 30% body deviation, 30% price deviation)
Double Smoothing: Applies EMA smoothing and second Heikin-Ashi transformation to oscillator values
Signal Generation: Identifies trend changes and crossover points with overbought/oversold levels
Formula:
HA Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
HA Open = (Previous HA Open + Previous HA Close) / 2
Trend Strength = Normalized consecutive HA candle direction
Body Deviation = (HA Body - Mean Body) / Mean Body * 100
Price Deviation = ((HA Close - Price Mean) / Price Mean * 100) / Standard Deviation * 25
Raw Oscillator = (Trend Strength * 0.4) + (Body Deviation * 0.3) + (Price Deviation * 0.3)
Final Oscillator = 50 + (EMA(Raw Oscillator) / 2)
🔶 DETAILS Visual Features:
Heikin-Ashi Candlesticks: Smoothed oscillator representation using HA transformation with vibrant teal/red coloring
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Horizontal lines at customizable levels (default 70/30) with background highlighting in extreme zones
Moving Averages: Optional fast and slow EMA overlays for additional trend confirmation
Signal Dashboard: Real-time table showing current oscillator status (Overbought/Oversold/Bullish/Bearish) and buy/sell signals
Reference Lines: Middle line at 50 (neutral), with 0 and 100 boundaries for range visualization
Interpretation:
Above 70: Overbought conditions, potential selling opportunity
Below 30: Oversold conditions, potential buying opportunity
Bullish HA Candles: Green/teal candles indicate upward momentum
Bearish HA Candles: Red candles indicate downward momentum
MA Crossovers: Fast EMA above slow EMA suggests bullish momentum, below suggests bearish momentum
Zone Exits: Price moving out of extreme zones (above 70 or below 30) often signals trend continuation
🔶 EXAMPLES
Mean Reversion Signals: When the oscillator reaches extreme levels (above 70 or below 30), it identifies potential reversal points where price may revert to the mean.
Example: Oscillator reaching 80+ levels during strong uptrends often precedes short-term pullbacks, providing profit-taking opportunities.
Trend Change Detection: The double Heikin-Ashi smoothing helps identify genuine trend changes while filtering out market noise.
Example: When oscillator HA candles change from red to teal after oversold readings, this confirms potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish.
Moving Average Confirmation: Fast and slow EMA crossovers on the oscillator provide additional confirmation of momentum shifts.
Example: Fast EMA crossing above slow EMA while oscillator is rising from oversold levels provides strong bullish confirmation signal.
Dashboard Signal Integration: The real-time dashboard combines oscillator status with directional signals for quick decision-making.
Example: Dashboard showing "Oversold" status with "BUY" signal when HA candles turn bullish provides clear entry timing.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
Calculation: Oscillator period (default 14), smoothing factor (1-50, default 2)
Levels: Overbought threshold (50-100, default 70), oversold threshold (0-50, default 30)
Moving Averages: Toggle display, fast EMA length (default 9), slow EMA length (default 21)
Visual Enhancements: Show/hide signal dashboard, customizable table position
Alert Conditions: Oversold bounce, overbought reversal, bullish/bearish MA crossovers
The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator provides traders with a sophisticated momentum tool that combines the smoothing benefits of Heikin-Ashi analysis with mean reversion principles. The double transformation process creates cleaner signals while the integrated dashboard and multiple confirmation methods help traders identify high-probability entry and exit points during both trending and ranging market conditions.

Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)
Bridging Statistical Physics and Market Dynamics Through Ensemble Analysis
The Revolutionary Concept: When Physics Meets Trading
After months of research into ergodic theory—a fundamental principle in statistical mechanics—I've developed a trading system that identifies when markets transition between predictable and unpredictable states. This indicator doesn't just follow price; it analyzes whether current market behavior will persist or revert, giving traders a scientific edge in timing entries and exits.
The Core Innovation: Ergodic Theory Applied to Markets
What Makes Markets Ergodic or Non-Ergodic?
In statistical physics, ergodicity determines whether a system's future resembles its past. Applied to trading:
Ergodic Markets (Mean-Reverting)
- Time averages equal ensemble averages
- Historical patterns repeat reliably
- Price oscillates around equilibrium
- Traditional indicators work well
Non-Ergodic Markets (Trending)
- Path dependency dominates
- History doesn't predict future
- Price creates new equilibrium levels
- Momentum strategies excel
The Mathematical Framework
The Ergodic Score combines three critical divergences:
Ergodic Score = (Price Divergence × Market Stress + Return Divergence × 1000 + Volatility Divergence × 50) / 3
Where:
Price Divergence: How far current price deviates from market consensus
Return Divergence: Momentum differential between instrument and market
Volatility Divergence: Volatility regime misalignment
Market Stress: Adaptive multiplier based on current conditions
The Ensemble Analysis Revolution
Beyond Single-Instrument Analysis
Traditional indicators analyze one chart in isolation. EMD monitors multiple correlated markets simultaneously (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA) to detect systemic regime changes. This ensemble approach:
Reveals Hidden Divergences: Individual stocks may diverge from market consensus before major moves
Filters False Signals: Requires broader market confirmation
Identifies Regime Shifts: Detects when entire market structure changes
Provides Context: Shows if moves are isolated or systemic
Dynamic Threshold Adaptation
Unlike fixed-threshold systems, EMD's boundaries evolve with market conditions:
Base Threshold = SMA(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 3)
Adaptive Component = StDev(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 2) × Sensitivity
Final Threshold = Smoothed(Base + Adaptive)
This creates context-aware signals that remain effective across different market environments.
The Confidence Engine: Know Your Signal Quality
Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring
Every signal receives a confidence score based on:
Signal Clarity (0-35%): How decisively the ergodic threshold is crossed
Momentum Strength (0-25%): Rate of ergodic change
Volatility Alignment (0-20%): Whether volatility supports the signal
Market Quality (0-20%): Price convergence and path dependency factors
Real-Time Confidence Updates
The Live Confidence metric continuously updates, showing:
- Current opportunity quality
- Market state clarity
- Historical performance influence
- Signal recency boost
- Visual Intelligence System
Adaptive Ergodic Field Bands
Dynamic bands that expand and contract based on market state:
Primary Color: Ergodic state (mean-reverting)
Danger Color: Non-ergodic state (trending)
Band Width: Expected price movement range
Squeeze Indicators: Volatility compression warnings
Quantum Wave Ribbons
Triple EMA system (8, 21, 55) revealing market flow:
Compressed Ribbons: Consolidation imminent
Expanding Ribbons: Directional move developing
Color Coding: Matches current ergodic state
Phase Transition Signals
Clear entry/exit markers at regime changes:
Bull Signals: Ergodic restoration (mean reversion opportunity)
Bear Signals: Ergodic break (trend following opportunity)
Confidence Labels: Percentage showing signal quality
Visual Intensity: Stronger signals = deeper colors

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.
Smart FlexRange Breakout [The_lurker]The Smart FlexRange Breakout tool aims to identify trading opportunities based on price breakouts of dynamic levels (CALL, PUT) with a dotted centerline and the ability to select the applicable market. The tool relies on candlestick analysis over a specific time period (such as 3 hours). Candle data (searchHours) is collected to identify the most significant candle based on candlestick patterns and trading volume during the selected timeframe. Breakout levels and take-profit (TP) targets are then plotted, along with buy and sell signals, breakout notifications, and up/down trend lines based on Pivot Points.
The tool is run according to the selected timeframe.
Practical Use
1- Setup: Adjust the market, timeframe, number of hours, and time zone to suit the trader's needs.
2- Trading: Monitor signals (BUY/SELL) and TP levels to determine entry and exit points.
3- Trend Lines: Use them to understand the overall trend and confirm signals.
---
1. Objective: Identify trading opportunities based on price breakouts
- Trading opportunities: The indicator is designed to help traders identify moments when significant price movements are likely, allowing them to enter buy or sell trades based on market changes.
- Price breakouts: The indicator focuses on moments when prices break through key levels (resistance or support). A breakout occurs when the price exceeds a resistance level (up) or breaks a support level (down), indicating a potential continuation of the movement in the same direction.
- Dynamic: Resistance and support levels are not static; rather, they are calculated based on candlestick analysis over a specific period of time, making them adaptive to current market conditions.
---
2. Dynamic levels (resistance and support levels)
- Resistance levels: These represent prices that the price is difficult to break above, defined here as the high of the most significant candle during the specified period.
- Support levels: These represent prices below which the price is difficult to fall, defined as the low of the most significant candle.
- Dynamic: These levels are recalculated every new search period (searchHours), meaning they change based on the latest market data, unlike traditional static levels.
---
3. Adding a Dotted Center Line
- Center Line: A horizontal dotted line is drawn at the midpoint between the high and low of the most significant candle.
- Purpose:
- Provides a visual reference point for determining the current price position relative to support and resistance levels.
- Helps assess whether the price is moving toward a breakout (near resistance) or a breakout (near support).
- Dotted: The dotted pattern distinguishes it from the solid upper and lower lines, making it easier to distinguish visually.
---
4. Relying on candlestick analysis over a specific time period (searchHours)
- Candlestick Analysis: The indicator examines candlesticks to determine which ones have the most influence on price movement.
- Timeframe (searchHours):
- The user specifies the number of hours (1-6) for candle analysis, which determines the range of data the indicator relies on.
- Example: If searchHours = 3 and timeframe = 30 minutes, 6 candles are analyzed (3 hours ÷ 30 minutes).
- Flexibility: This period can be adjusted to suit different markets (such as volatile cryptocurrencies or more stable Forex).
---
5. Determining the Most Important Candle Based on Candle Patterns and Volume
- The most important candle: is the candle believed to have the greatest impact on price movement based on specific criteria.
- Candle Patterns:
- Candles are analyzed using a candlestick pattern library (such as Engulfing, Hammer, Doji).
- Reversal patterns (such as Morning Star, Shooting Star) are given a high importance score (100 points) because they indicate potential trend changes.
- Trading Volume:
- The trading volume of each candle is measured and compared to the maximum and minimum during the period.
- Volume is calculated as a percentage (0-100) and added to the pattern score to determine the most significant candle.
- Result: The candle with the highest score (patterns + volume) is used to determine support and resistance levels.
---
6. Timeframe
- Time interval: The user selects a time frame for the candles (15, 30, or 60 minutes).
- Importance:
- Determines the number of candles analyzed during the searchHours period.
- Affects the accuracy and speed of the signals (shorter timeframe = faster but less reliable signals; longer timeframe = slower but more reliable signals).
- Example: If the timeframe is 60 minutes and searchHours is 3, only 3 candles are analyzed.
---
7. Drawing Breakout Levels and Take Profit Targets (TP)
- Breakout Levels:
- Upper line (resistance): Drawn at the highest price of the most significant candle and is labeled "CALL".
- Lower line (support): Drawn at the lowest price of the most important candle and is called "PUT."
- These lines represent levels where a breakout is expected to lead to a strong price movement.
- Take Profit Targets (TP):
- Up to 8 bullish (above the upper line) and bearish (below the lower line) TP levels are calculated.
- They are calculated based on a percentage (tpPercentage) added or subtracted from the base lines.
- Example: If tpPercentage = 0.6% and the high price = 100, then bullish TP1 = 100.6, TP2 = 101.2, etc.
- Labels: Labels are drawn for each TP level indicating the value and level (TP1, TP2, etc.).
---
8. Buy and Sell Signals
- Buy (BUY) signal:
- Generated when the price breaks the upper line (ta.crossover).
- The "BUY" label is drawn with the redrawing of the TP levels.
- Sell signal (SELL):
- Generated when the price breaks the lower line (ta.crossunder).
- The "SELL" label is drawn with the redrawing of the TP levels.
- Purpose: To provide clear signals to the trader for making trade entry decisions.

تهدف أداة Smart FlexRange Breakout إلى تحديد فرص التداول بناءً على اختراقات الأسعار للمستويات الديناميكية (CALL، PUT) مع خط مركزي منقط، مع إمكانية اختيار السوق المناسب. تعتمد الأداة على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة (مثل 3 ساعات). تُجمع بيانات الشموع (searchHours) لتحديد أهم شمعة بناءً على أنماط الشموع وحجم التداول خلال الإطار الزمني المحدد. ثم تُرسم مستويات الاختراق وأهداف جني الأرباح (TP)، بالإضافة إلى إشارات البيع والشراء، وإشعارات الاختراق، وخطوط الاتجاه الصعودي/الهبوطي بناءً على نقاط المحور.
يتم تشغيل الاداه حسب الفاصل المختار timeframe
الاستخدام العملي
1- الإعداد: اضبط السوق، والإطار الزمني، وعدد الساعات، والمنطقة الزمنية لتناسب احتياجات المتداول.
2- التداول: راقب إشارات (الشراء/البيع) ومستويات جني الأرباح لتحديد نقاط الدخول والخروج.
3- خطوط الاتجاه: استخدمها لفهم الاتجاه العام وتأكيد الإشارات.
1. الهدف: تحديد فرص التداول بناءً على اختراقات الأسعار
- فرص التداول: صُمم هذا المؤشر لمساعدة المتداولين على تحديد اللحظات التي يُحتمل فيها حدوث تحركات سعرية كبيرة، مما يسمح لهم بالدخول في صفقات شراء أو بيع بناءً على تغيرات السوق.
- اختراقات الأسعار: يُركز المؤشر على اللحظات التي تخترق فيها الأسعار مستويات رئيسية (مقاومة أو دعم). يحدث الاختراق عندما يتجاوز السعر مستوى مقاومة (صعودًا) أو يخترق مستوى دعم (هبوطًا)، مما يُشير إلى احتمال استمرار الحركة في نفس الاتجاه.
- ديناميكي: مستويات المقاومة والدعم ليست ثابتة؛ بل تُحسب بناءً على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة، مما يجعلها مُكيفة مع ظروف السوق الحالية.
2. المستويات الديناميكية (مستويات المقاومة والدعم)
- مستويات المقاومة: تُمثل هذه الأسعار التي يصعب على السعر تجاوزها، وتُعرف هنا بأنها ارتفاع الشمعة الأكثر أهمية خلال الفترة المحددة.
- مستويات الدعم: تُمثل هذه الأسعار التي يصعب على السعر الانخفاض دونها، وتُعرف بأنها أدنى مستوى للشمعة الأكثر أهمية.
- ديناميكي: تُعاد حساب هذه المستويات مع كل فترة بحث جديدة (ساعات البحث)، مما يعني أنها تتغير بناءً على أحدث بيانات السوق، على عكس المستويات الثابتة التقليدية.
3. إضافة خط مركزي منقط
- خط المركز: يُرسم خط أفقي منقط عند نقطة المنتصف بين أعلى وأدنى شمعة ذات أهمية.
- الغرض:
- يوفر نقطة مرجعية بصرية لتحديد وضع السعر الحالي بالنسبة لمستويات الدعم والمقاومة.
- يساعد في تقييم ما إذا كان السعر يتحرك نحو اختراق (بالقرب من المقاومة) أو اختراق (بالقرب من الدعم).
- منقط: يُميزه النمط المنقط عن الخطوط العلوية والسفلية المتصلة، مما يُسهّل تمييزه بصريًا.
4. الاعتماد على تحليل الشموع اليابانية على مدى فترة زمنية محددة (ساعات البحث)
- تحليل الشموع اليابانية: يفحص المؤشر الشموع اليابانية لتحديد أيها الأكثر تأثيرًا على حركة السعر.
- الإطار الزمني (ساعات البحث):
- يُحدد المستخدم عدد الساعات (من 1 إلى 6) لتحليل الشموع، والذي يُحدد نطاق البيانات التي يعتمد عليها المؤشر.
- مثال: إذا كانت ساعات البحث = 3 والإطار الزمني = 30 دقيقة، فسيتم تحليل 6 شموع (3 ساعات ÷ 30 دقيقة).
- المرونة: يُمكن تعديل هذه الفترة لتناسب الأسواق المختلفة (مثل العملات المشفرة المتقلبة أو سوق الفوركس الأكثر استقرارًا).
5. تحديد الشمعة الأكثر أهمية بناءً على أنماط الشموع وحجم التداول
- الشمعة الأكثر أهمية: هي الشمعة التي يُعتقد أن لها التأثير الأكبر على حركة السعر بناءً على معايير محددة.
- أنماط الشموع:
- يتم تحليل الشموع باستخدام مكتبة أنماط الشموع (مثل شمعة الابتلاع، وشمعة المطرقة، وشمعة الدوجي).
- تُمنح أنماط الانعكاس (مثل نجمة الصباح، ونجم الشهاب) درجة أهمية عالية (100 نقطة) لأنها تُشير إلى تغيرات محتملة في الاتجاه.
- حجم التداول:
- يُقاس حجم تداول كل شمعة ويُقارن بالحد الأقصى والأدنى خلال الفترة.
- يُحسب الحجم كنسبة مئوية (0-100) ويُضاف إلى درجة النمط لتحديد الشمعة الأكثر أهمية.
- النتيجة: تُستخدم الشمعة ذات أعلى درجة (الأنماط + الحجم) لتحديد مستويات الدعم والمقاومة.
٦. الإطار الزمني
- الفاصل الزمني: يختار المستخدم إطارًا زمنيًا للشموع (١٥، ٣٠، أو ٦٠ دقيقة).
- الأهمية:
- يحدد عدد الشموع المُحللة خلال فترة ساعات البحث.
- يؤثر على دقة وسرعة الإشارات (الإطار الزمني الأقصر = إشارات أسرع ولكن أقل موثوقية؛ الإطار الزمني الأطول = إشارات أبطأ ولكن أكثر موثوقية).
- مثال: إذا كان الإطار الزمني ٦٠ دقيقة وساعات البحث ٣، فسيتم تحليل ٣ شموع فقط.
---
٧. رسم مستويات الاختراق وأهداف جني الأرباح (TP)
- مستويات الاختراق:
- الخط العلوي (المقاومة): يُرسم عند أعلى سعر للشمعة الأكثر أهمية ويُسمى "CALL".
- الخط السفلي (الدعم): يُرسم عند أدنى سعر للشمعة الأكثر أهمية ويُسمى "PUT".
- تمثل هذه الخطوط المستويات التي يُتوقع أن يؤدي فيها الاختراق إلى حركة سعرية قوية.
- أهداف جني الأرباح (TP):
- يتم حساب ما يصل إلى 8 مستويات جني أرباح صعودية (فوق الخط العلوي) وهبوطية (تحت الخط السفلي).
- يتم حسابها بناءً على نسبة مئوية (tpPercentage) تُضاف أو تُطرح من خطوط الأساس.
- مثال: إذا كانت نسبة جني الأرباح = 0.6% وكان أعلى سعر = 100، فإن هدف الربح الصعودي الأول = 100.6، وهدف الربح الثاني = 101.2، وهكذا.
- العلامات: تُرسم علامات لكل مستوى جني أرباح تشير إلى القيمة والمستوى (TP1، TP2، وهكذا).
---
8. إشارات الشراء والبيع
- إشارة الشراء (BUY):
- تُولّد عند اختراق السعر للخط العلوي (ta.crossover).
- تُرسم علامة "الشراء" مع إعادة رسم مستويات جني الأرباح.
- إشارة البيع (SELL):
- تُولّد عند اختراق السعر للخط السفلي (ta.crossunder). - يُرسم مؤشر "بيع" مع إعادة رسم مستويات جني الأرباح.
- الغرض: توفير إشارات واضحة للمتداول لاتخاذ قرارات دخول الصفقة.

Camarilla Pivot Plays█ OVERVIEW
This indicator implements the Camarilla Pivot Points levels and a system for suggesting particular plays. It only calculates and shows the 3rd, 4th, and 6th levels, as these are the only ones used by the system. In total, there are 12 possible plays, grouped into two groups of six. The algorithm constantly evaluates conditions for entering and exiting the plays and indicates them in real time, also triggering user-configurable alerts.
█ CREDITS
The Camarilla pivot plays are defined in a strategy developed by Thor Young, and the whole system is explained in his book "A Complete Day Trading System" . The indicator is published with his permission, and he is a user of it. The book is not necessary in order to understand and use the indicator; this description contains sufficient information to use it effectively.
█ FEATURES
Automatically draws plays, suggesting an entry, stop-loss, and maximum target
User can set alerts on chosen ticker to call these plays, even when not currently viewing them
Highly configurable via many options
Works for US/European stocks and US futures (at least)
Works correctly on both RTH and ETH charts
Automatically switches between RTH and ETH data
Optionally also shows the "other" set of pivots (RTH vs ETH data)
Configurable behaviour in the pre-market, not active in the post-market
Configurable sensitivity of the play detection algorithm
Can also show weekly and monthly Camarilla pivots
Well-documented options tooltips
Sensible defaults which are suitable for immediate use
Well-documented and high-quality open-source code for those who are interested
█ HOW TO USE
The defaults work well; at a minimum, just add the indicator and watch the plays being called. To avoid having to watch securities, by selecting the three dots next to the indicator name, you can set an alert on the indicator and choose to be alerted on play entry or exit events—or both. The following diagram shows several plays activated in the past (with the "Show past plays" option selected).
By default, the indicator draws plays 5 days back; this can be changed up to 20 days. The labels can be shifted left/right using the "label offset" option to avoid overlapping with other labels in this indicator or those of another indicator.
An information box at the top-right of the chart shows:
The data currently in use for the main pivots. This can switch in the pre-market if the H/L range exceeds the previous day's H/L, and if it does, you will see that switch at the time that it happens
Whether the current day's pivots are in a higher or lower range compared to the previous day's. This is based on the RTH close, so large moves in the post-market won't be reflected (there is an advanced option to change this)
The width of the value relationship in the current day compared to the previous day
The currently active play. If multiple plays are active in parallel, only the last activated one is shown
The resistance pivots are all drawn in the same colour (red by default), as are the support pivots (green by default). You can change the resistance and support colours, but it is not possible to have different colours for different levels of the same kind. Plays will always use the correct colour, drawing over the pivots. For example, R4 is red by default, but if a play treats R4 as a support, then the play will draw a green line (by default) over the red R4 line, thereby hiding it while the play is active.
There are a few advanced parameters; leave these as default unless you really know what they do. Please note the script is complicated—it does a lot. You might need to wait a few seconds while it (re)calculates on new tickers or when changing options. Give it time when first loading or changing options!
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is focused around daily Camarilla pivots and implements 12 possible plays: 6 when in a higher range, 6 when in a lower range. The plays are labelled by two letters—the first indicates the range, the second indicates the play—as shown in this diagram:
The pivots can be calculated using only RTH (Regular Trading Hours) data, or ETH (Extended Trading Hours) data, which includes the pre-market and post-market. The indicator implements logic to automatically choose the correct data, based on the rules defined by the strategy. This is user-overridable. With the default options, ETH will be used when the H/L range in the previous day's post-market or current day's pre-market exceeds that of the previous day's regular market. In auto mode, the chosen pivots are considered the main pivots for that day and are the ones used for play evaluation. The "other" pivots can also be shown—"other" here meaning using ETH data when the main pivots use RTH data, and vice versa.
When displaying plays in the pre-market, since the RTH open is not yet known (and that value is needed to evaluate play pre-conditions), the pre-market open is used as a proxy for the RTH open. After the regular market opens, the correct RTH open is used to evaluate play conditions.
█ NOTE FOR FUTURES
Futures always use full ETH data in auto mode. Users may, however, wish to use the option "Always use RTH close," which uses the 3 p.m. Central Time (CME/Chicago) as a basis for the close in the pivot calculations (instead of the 4 p.m. actual close).
Futures don't officially have a pre-market or post-market like equities. Let's take ES on CME as an example (CME is in Chicago, so all times are Central Time, i.e., 1 hour behind Eastern Time). It trades from 17:00 Sunday to 16:00 Friday, with a daily pause between 16:00 and 17:00. However, most of the trading activity is done between 08:30 and 15:00 (Central), which you can tell from the volume spikes at those times, and this coincides with NYSE/NASDAQ regular hours (09:30–16:00 Eastern). So we define a pseudo-pre-market from 17:00 the previous day to 08:30 on the current day, then a pseudo-regular market from 08:30 to 15:00, then a pseudo-post-market from 15:00 to 16:00.
The indicator then works exactly the same as with equities—all the options behave the same, just with different session times defined for the pre-, regular, and post-market, with "RTH" meaning just the regular market and "ETH" meaning all three. The only difference from equities is that the auto calculation mode always uses ETH instead of switching based on ETH range compared to RTH range. This is so users who just leave all the defaults are not confused by auto-switching of the calculation mode; normally you'll want the pivots based on all the (ETH) data. However, both "Force RTH" and "Use RTH close with ETH data" work the same as with equities—so if, in the calculations, you really want to only use RTH data, or use all ETH H/L data but use the RTH close (at 15:00), you can.
█ LIMITATIONS
The pivots are very close to those shown in DAS Trader Pro. They are not to-the-cent exact, but within a few cents. The reasons are:
TradingView uses real-time data from CBOE One, so doesn't have access to full exchange data (unless you pay for it in TradingView), and
the close/high/low are taken from the intraday timeframe you are currently viewing, not daily data—which are very close, but often not exactly the same. For example, the high on the daily timeframe may differ slightly from the daily high you'll see on an intraday timeframe.
I have occasionally seen larger than a few cents differences in the pivots between these and DAS Trader Pro—this is always due to differences in data, for example a big spike in the data in TradingView but not in DAS Trader Pro, or vice versa. The more traded the stock is, the less the difference tends to be. Highly traded stocks are usually within a few cents. Less traded stocks may be more (for example, 30¢ difference in R4 is the highest I've seen). If it bothers you, official NYSE/NASDAQ data in TradingView is quite inexpensive (but even that doesn't make the 8am candle identical).
The 6th Camarilla level does not have a standard definition and may not match the level shown on other platforms. It does match the definition used by DAS Trader Pro.
The indicator is an intraday indicator (despite also being able to show weekly and monthly pivots on an intraday chart). It deactivates on a daily timeframe and higher. It is untested on sub-minute timeframes; you may encounter runtime errors on these due to various historical data referencing issues. Also, the play detection algorithm would likely be unpredictable on sub-minute timeframes. Therefore, sub-minute timeframes are formally unsupported.
The indicator was developed and tested for US/European stocks and US futures. It may or may not work as intended for stocks and futures in different locations. It does not work for other security types (e.g., crypto), where I have no evidence that the strategy has any relevance.
CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.
---
📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.

Long Entry ▲: EMA 9 (red) crosses above EMA 15 (blue) while in a bullish regime and after a pullback into EMA 30/65.
Short Entry ▼: EMA 9 crosses below EMA 15 while in a bearish regime and after a retracement up to EMA 30/65.
Exit ✖: Opposite EMA 9/15 crossover marks the close of the position.
⸻
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to any chart/timeframe.
2. Identify trend: make sure price is aligned above or below the 65 and 200 EMAs.
3. Watch for pullbacks into the orange or purple EMAs.
4. Enter on the black ▲ or ▼ arrow.
5. Exit when you see the gray ✖ cross.
Because it’s a pure‐EMA indicator (no heavy calculations), it runs quickly even on lower-end machines.

📊 What is AllMA Trend Radar?
AllMA Trend Radar is a powerful indicator that uses various types of Moving Averages (MA) to analyze trends and generate trading signals. The indicator allows you to choose from more than 30 different types of moving averages and adjust their parameters to suit your trading style.
💡 The main components of the indicator
📈 Fast and slow moving averages
The indicator uses two main lines:
- Fast MA (blue line): reacts faster to price changes
- Slow MA (red line): smoother, reflects a long-term trend
The combined use of fast and slow MA allows you to get trend confirmation and entry/exit points from the market.
🔄 Wide range of moving averages
There are more than 30 types of moving averages at your disposal:
- SMA: Simple moving average
- EMA: Exponential moving average
- WMA: Weighted moving average
- DEMA: double exponential MA
- TEMA: triple exponential MA
- HMA: Hull Moving Average
- LSMA: Moving average of least squares
- JMA: Eureka Moving Average

🛠 Filters to filter out false signals
1️⃣ Minimum distance between the signals
- What it does: sets the minimum number of candles between signals of the same type
- Why it is needed: it prevents the appearance of too frequent signals, especially during periods of high volatility
- How to set it up: Set a different value for each signal type (default: 3-5 bars)
- Example: if the value is 3 for Up/Down signals, after the buy signal appears, the next buy signal may appear no earlier than 3 bars later
2️⃣ Advanced indicator filters
🔍 RSI Filter
- What it does: Checks the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value before generating a signal
- Why it is needed: it helps to avoid countertrend entries and catch reversal points
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the RSI range, usually in the oversold zone (for example, 1-30)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the RSI range, usually in the overbought zone (for example, 70-100)
- Example: if the RSI = 25 (in the range 1-30), the buy signal will be confirmed
📊 MFI Filter (Cash Flow Index)
- What it does: analyzes volumes and the direction of price movement
- Why it is needed: confirms signals with data on the activity of cash flows
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the MFI range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-25)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the MFI range in the overbought zone (for example, 75-100)
- Example: if MFI = 80 (in the range of 75-100), the sell signal will be confirmed
📈 Stochastic Filter
- What it does: analyzes the position of the current price relative to the price range
- Why it is needed: confirms signals based on overbought/oversold conditions
- How to configure:
- You can configure the K Length, D Length and Smoothing parameters
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the stochastic range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-20)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the stochastic range in the overbought zone (for example, 80-100)
- Example: if stochastic = 15 (is in the range of 1-20), the buy signal will be confirmed
