GARCH Range PredictorThis was inspired by deltatrendtrading's video on GARCH models to predict daily trading ranges and identify favorable trading conditions. Based on advanced volatility forecasting techniques, it predicts whether a trading day's true range will exceed a threshold, helping traders decide when to trade or skip a session.
Key Features
GARCH(1,1) Volatility Modeling: Uses log-transformed true ranges with exponential moving average centering
Forward-Looking Predictions: Makes predictions at session start before the day unfolds
Dynamic or Static Thresholds: Choose between fixed dollar thresholds or adaptive 20-day averages
Accuracy Tracking: Monitors prediction accuracy with overall and recent (20-day) hit rates
Visual Session Boxes: Colors trading sessions green (trade) or red (skip) based on predictions
Real-Time Statistics: Displays current predictions, thresholds, and performance metrics
How It Works
Data Transformation: Log-transforms daily true ranges and centers them using an EMA
Variance Modeling: Updates GARCH variance using: σ²ₜ = ω + α(residual²) + β(σ²ₜ₋₁)
Prediction Generation: Back-transforms log predictions to dollar values
Signal Generation: Compares predictions to threshold to generate trade/skip signals
Performance Tracking: Validates predictions against actual outcomes
Parameters
GARCH Parameters (ω, α, β): Control volatility persistence and mean reversion
EMA Period: Smoothing period for log range centering
Threshold Settings: Static dollar amount or dynamic multiplier of recent averages
Session Time: Define regular trading hours for analysis
Best Use Cases
Breakout and momentum strategies that perform better on high-range days
Risk management by avoiding low-volatility sessions
Futures day trading (optimized for MNQ/NQ detection)
Any strategy where daily range impacts profitability
Important Notes
Requires 5+ sessions for initialization and warm-up
Accuracy depends heavily on proper parameter tuning for your specific instrument
Default parameters may need adjustment for different markets
Monitor the hit rate to validate effectiveness on your timeframe

Volume Imbalances & Gann's Square IndicatorVolume Imbalances & Gann's Square Indicator:
This script is a comprehensive trading toolkit designed to help intraday and swing traders identify high-probability trade setups by combining the strengths of Gann's Theory, price-volume analysis, and multi-indicator signal confirmation in one indicator.
Key Features and Their Roles:
Gann’s S/R Levels:
Calculates main and auxiliary support/resistance lines using Gann’s “odd square” approach based on the current price. Levels are projected historically and into the future to clearly visualize critical zones for potential reversals and breakouts.
Volume*Price (VP) Spike Table:
Detects and displays real-time buy and sell volume spikes above a configurable threshold, highlighting large market transactions. The on-chart table summarizes recent major spikes with time and price for context, resetting every session.
Multi-EMA & VWAP Logic:
Integrates three customizable EMAs, VWAP, and Supertrend. Users can toggle signals from EMA crossovers, price-VWAP positioning, or Supertrend direction to match their preferred trading style and filter signals for trend or mean-reversion strategies.
Buy/Sell Labels and Signal Source Control:
Clearly plots buy/sell marker labels with customizable text, color, and size, based on the chosen signal source (EMA cross, VWAP, Supertrend). Labels offset from candles for easy visibility.
First Candle Range & Session Tools:
Plots the initial range (high, low, and midpoint) of a user-defined session, helping visualize and trade session breakouts or range retests. Session logic ensures all statistical tables and levels reset at session start.
Automated Risk/Reward Table:
Instantly calculates capital allocation, stop-loss, potential quantity, and two profit targets for both long and short trades. Helps traders plan size and risk per trade in compliance with risk management principles.
Highest/Lowest VP Markers:
Highlights the day’s peak and trough volume*price values for context on institutional buying or selling pressure.
Previous Day Range Plotter:
Draws previous session’s high/low levels for reliable reference zones and potential trade targets.
Integration Rationale:
All components are thoughtfully integrated to provide a holistic decision-making workflow:
Volume/price spikes act as momentum or liquidity signals.
Gann levels define the “where” for reaction or breakout trades.
Signal logics (EMA/VWAP/Supertrend) answer the “when,” enabling higher-confidence entries only when multiple conditions align.
How to Use:
Select your preferred inputs for EMAs, VWAP, and risk settings in the panel.
Analyze the chart for signals where buy/sell labels align with fresh VP spikes near Gann or previous day support/resistance.
Use the risk/reward table for strict money management.
Reference spike tables and session range for contextual confirmation.
Visuals and Chart Guidance:
The script displays only essential tables, lines, and labels described above.
All chart elements are explained in this description—no external scripts needed for interpretation.
Each table and marker is linked to actionable trading logic, eliminating clutter.
Closed-source Explanation:
The indicator uses session-based calculations, real-time data arrays, and proprietary math to unify Gann theory logic, large transaction detection, and multi-indicator confirmation. All major trade conditions have alert signals for ready integration with TradingView’s alert system.

Opening Range v3 (Dynamic)Opening Range Signals v3 (Dynamic) - Indicator Guide
Created by: MecarderoAurum
Why This Indicator Exists: An Overview
The "Opening Range Signals" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for day traders who focus their strategy on the price action that unfolds during the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) of the New York session (09:30 - 16:00 ET). The opening period of the market, often called the "initial balance," is a critical time where institutions and traders establish the early high and low for the day. Trading the breakout of this range is a classic and effective strategy, but it's often plagued by false moves and "head fakes."
This indicator was built to solve that problem. It not only identifies the initial range but also incorporates a powerful dynamic expansion feature. This allows the indicator to intelligently adapt to early session volatility, filter out false breakouts, and establish more reliable support and resistance levels for the rest of the trading day. It provides a clear, visual framework for executing opening range strategies with more confidence.
Key Features & How to Use Them
1. Customizable Opening Range
This is the foundation of the indicator. It draws the high and low of the initial trading period on your chart.
What it does: Establishes the initial support and resistance levels for the day.
How to use it: In the settings under "Time Settings," you can set the "Opening Range Duration" from 1 to 30 minutes. A shorter duration (e.g., 5 minutes) will be more sensitive and give earlier signals, while a longer duration (e.g., 30 minutes) will establish a wider, more robust range.
2. Dynamic Range Expansion
This is the indicator's most powerful and unique feature. It helps you avoid getting trapped in false breakouts.
What it does: If the price breaks out of the initial range but then quickly closes back inside, the indicator will automatically expand the range to include the full wick of the failed breakout. This tells you the market is still establishing its true range.
How to use it: In the settings under "Dynamic Range," you can:
"Enable Dynamic Range Expansion": This is on by default.
"Expansion Time Limit (Min)": Set how long the indicator should look for these failed breakouts. After this time, the range will be locked for the day.
3. Clear Visual Trading Signals
The indicator provides three distinct signals to help you interpret the price action around the opening range.
Breakout Body (Yellow plotshape):
What it means: The first confirmation that the price has decisively moved outside the established range. It appears when a candle's body closes entirely above the high or below the low.
How to use it: This is your alert that a potential breakout is underway. Do not enter yet; wait for confirmation.
Continuation (Green plotshape):
What it means: This signal appears on the candle immediately following a breakout if it shows momentum in the same direction. It confirms that the breakout has strength.
How to use it: This is a potential entry trigger. A continuation signal suggests the breakout is valid and may continue.
Failure (Red plotshape):
What it means: This signal appears if, after a breakout and continuation, the price quickly reverses and closes back inside the range. It's a strong indication of a false breakout.
How to use it: If you are in a breakout trade, a failure signal is a clear sign to exit. It can also be used as a setup for a reversal trade in the opposite direction.
Sample Strategy: The Breakout-Continuation Trade
This strategy uses the indicator's signals to trade a classic opening range breakout with added confirmation.
Setup:
Set the "Opening Range Duration" to your preferred time (e.g., 5 or 15 minutes).
Ensure the "Dynamic Range Expansion" is enabled to filter out early noise.
Entry Trigger:
Wait for a Breakout signal (yellow) to appear. This puts you on high alert.
Wait for a Continuation signal (green) on the very next candle. This is your entry trigger. Enter a long trade on a bullish continuation or a short trade on a bearish continuation.
Stop-Loss:
For a bullish (long) trade, a common stop-loss placement is just below the low of the continuation candle or, for a more conservative stop, just inside the opening range high.
For a bearish (short) trade, place your stop-loss just above the high of the continuation candle or just inside the opening range low.
Trade Management:
If a Failure signal (red) appears after you've entered, it indicates the breakout has failed. This is a strong signal to exit your trade immediately to protect your capital.
If the trade moves in your favor, you can manage it by taking profits at key levels or using a trailing stop.
Dealing rangeHi all!
This indicator will show you the current dealing range. The concept of dealing range comes from the inner circle trader (ICT) and gives you a range between an established swing high and an established swing low (the length of these pivots can be changed in settings parameter Length and defaults to 5/2 (left/right)). These swing points must have taken out liquidity to be considered "established". The liquidity that must be grabbed by the swing point has to be a pivot of left length of 1 and a right length of 1.
The dealing range that's created should be used in conjunction with market structure. This could be done through scripts (maybe the Market structure script that I published ()) or manually. It's a common approach to look for long opportunities when the trend is bullish and price is currently in the discount zone of the dealing range. If the trend is bearish then short opportunities are presented when the price is currently in the premium zone of the dealing range.
The zones within the dealing range are premium and discount that are split on the 50% level of the dealing range. These zones can be split into 3 zone with a Fair price (also called Fair value ) zone in between premium and discount. This makes the premium zone to be in the upper third of the dealing range, fair price in the middle third and discount in the lower third. This can be enabled in the settings through the Fair price parameter.
Enabled:
You can choose to enable/disable the visualisation of liquidity grabs and the External liquidity available above and below the swing points that created the dealing range.
Enabled:
Disabled:
Enabled on a higher timeframe (will display a box of the liquidity grab price instead of a label):
This dealing range is configurable to be created by a higher timeframe then the visible charts. Use the setting Higher timeframe to change this.
You can force candles to be closed (for liquidity and swing points). Please note that if you use a higher timeframe then the visible charts the candles must be closed on this timeframe.
Lastly you can also change the transparency of liquidity grabs and external liquidity outside of the dealing range. Use the Transparency setting to change this (a lower value will lead to stronger visuals).
If you have any input or suggestions on future features or bugs, don't hesitate to let me know!
Best of trading luck!
X HL RangeOverview:
The X Range indicator is a multi-timeframe visualization tool designed to display the high and low price ranges of previous candles from higher timeframes (HTFs) directly on a lower timeframe chart. It helps traders identify significant price zones and potential support/resistance levels by visually representing the price range of up to three previous candles for each selected timeframe.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Support: The indicator supports three configurable higher timeframes (default: 60 min, 15 min, 5 min) which can be independently toggled on or off.
Custom Candle Range Display: For each enabled timeframe, users can choose to display the range of the most recent 1, 2, or 3 completed candles.
Dynamic Box Drawing: Price ranges are highlighted using rectangular boxes that extend across the chart to show where the highs and lows of each selected HTF candle occurred.
Custom Styling: Each timeframe's boxes can be individually styled with user-defined background and border colors to suit visual preferences or chart themes.
Efficient Redrawing: Boxes update in real-time as new higher timeframe candles complete, and previous boxes are removed to prevent chart clutter.
Use Case:
This indicator is particularly useful for intraday traders who want to align entries and exits with higher timeframe levels. By visualizing previous HTF ranges on a lower timeframe chart, traders gain contextual awareness of where price is likely to react or consolidate, aiding in decision-making for breakouts, reversals, or trend continuation setups.
ICT IPDA Lookback / Cast-forwardThis script automatically displays 20/40/60 daily range highs and lows.
Known as IPDA ranges, a term popularised by Inner Circle Trader (ICT). IPDA = Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm.
You can also add 80 day lines (my own addition) . IPDA labels are shown for Daily highs, and an equivalent line is drawn at IPDA Daily lows - but without the label to keep your chart as clean as possible. You can use this on hourly timeframes as well.
ICT is "flexible" on IPDA data ranges in his mentorship regarding whether you should use the first day of each month, or go recalculate day by day, and that's why this script lets you do both + also has an option to set a hard specified date - useful for more advanced purposes.
You can also Cast-forward the displayed 20/40/60 (+80) IPDA ranges with this tool.
You can use IPDA ranges to forecast Highs and Lows that price will be attracted to on a Daily timeframe and where price is in its P/D range, being in a discount or premium. You can also use this knowledge to help guide lower timeframe scalps.
Longer term traders can reference the 40 and 60 Day Look Back lines for an indication of current market conditions.
Prior HTF Range Levels [promuckaj]Prior HTF Range Levels - Indicator developed with idea to mark you prior HTF range levels, including high, low, EQ, 25% and 75% of the range.
There is option to choose desired HTF, by default it is 1H.
Every time when price breach high or low of the prior range there is option to mark the respective bar for you.
It will mark only the first break of the range. There is also option to activate separately alerts for breach of the high or low of the range.
There is option to set % time of HTF range, how many % of time could pass before the breach. For example, 30% of HTF range(1H) means that if you are on 1m chart there must be breach in the first 20 candles on 1m chart because 1H HTF range contain 60x 1m candles, while first 20 is 30% of HTF candle. This could be really useful due to some statistical facts that a lot of traders is using first 30% of a new formed range to break high or low.
There is also countdown that will allow you at real time to see how much bars on your LTF is left until end of a forming new HTF range. There is option to set two colors for this label (red/green by default) which will allow you quickly to see where you are at the moment.
In example below green color means that we are still < 30% of a new forming range, since we set 30% as our threshold, while number is showing us how much bars need to be printed for a new range.
After some time color will change to red since we are now > 30% of a new forming range, and red could means that we are not interesting anymore in prior range.
For all lines, high/low, EQ, 25% and 75% there is option to customize it separately, which means you can set different color, width of line, style of line and size of labels.

Midnight Range Standard DeviationsCredit to Lex Fx for the basic framework of this script
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities based on the Intraday Concurrency Technique (ICT) concepts, specifically the midnight range deviations and their relationship to Fibonacci levels. It builds upon the work of Lex-FX, whom we gratefully acknowledge for the original concept and inspiration for this indicator.
Core Concept: ICT Midnight Range
The core of this indicator revolves around the concept of the midnight range. According to ICT, the high and low formed in a specific time window (typically the first 30 minutes after midnight, New York Time) can serve as a key reference point for intraday price action. The indicator identifies this range and projects potential support and resistance levels based on deviations from this range, combined with Fibonacci ratios.
How ICT Uses Midnight Range Deviations
ICT methodology often involves looking for price to move away from the initial midnight range, then return to it, or deviate beyond it, as key areas for potential entries.
Range Identification: The indicator automatically identifies the high and low of the midnight range (00:00 - 00:30 NY Time).
Deviation Levels: The indicator calculates and displays deviation levels based on multiples of the initial midnight range. These levels are often used to identify potential areas of support and resistance, as well as potential targets for price movement. These levels can be set in the additional fib levels section, which can be configured in increments of .5 deviations all the way up to 12 deviations.
Fibonacci Confluence: ICT often emphasizes the confluence of multiple factors. This indicator adds Fibonacci levels to the midnight range deviations. This allows traders to identify areas where Fibonacci retracements or extensions align with the deviation levels, potentially creating stronger areas of support or resistance.
Looking for Sweeps: ICT often uses these levels to look for times that the high and low are swept as potential areas of liquidity, indicating the start of potential continuations.
Time-Based Analysis: The time at which price interacts with these levels can also be significant in ICT. The indicator provides options to extend the range lines to specific times (e.g., 3 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, or a custom defined time) after midnight, allowing traders to focus on specific periods of the trading day.
Indicator Settings Explained:
Time Zone (TZ): Defines the time zone used for calculating the midnight range. The default is "America/New_York".
Range High Color, Range Low Color, Range Mid Color: Customize the colors of the high, low, and mid-range lines.
Range Fill Color: Sets the fill color for the area between the range high and low.
Line Style: Choose the style of the range lines (solid, dashed, dotted).
Range Line Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the range lines for better visibility.
Show Fibonacci Levels: Enable or disable the display of Fibonacci deviation levels.
Fib Up Color, Fib Down Color: Customize the colors of the Fibonacci levels above (up) and below (down) the midnight range.
Show Trendline: Enables a trendline that plots the close price, colored according to whether the price is above the high, below the low, or within the midnight range.
Show Range Lines, Show Range Labels: Toggles the visibility of the range lines and their associated labels.
Label Size: Adjust the size of the labels for better readability.
Hide Prices: Option to display only the deviation values on labels, hiding price values.
Place Fibonacci Labels on Left Side: Option to switch label position from right side to left side.
Extend Range To (Hours from Midnight): This section gives you a wide variety of options on how far you want to extend the range to, you can do 3,6,10,12, and 23 hours. Alternatively, you can select the "Use Custom Length" and set a specific time in hours.
Additional Fib Levels: This section allows the trader to set additional deviation points in increments of .5 deviations from .5 all the way up to 12 deviations

Average Range Levels [Pro+]Description:
The Average Range Levels builds on the concepts of ADR projections showcased in its lite version.
Average Daily Range (ADR) is a common metric used to measure volatility in an asset. It calculates the average difference between the highest and lowest price over a time interval – normally five days.
The Inner Circle Trader teaches the importance of this metric from an algorithmic point of view; in particular the 1/3ADR price level is deemed to be a threshold used to determine the area at which a Judas Swing – false move to trick market participants, protraction, manipulation – might exhaust.
Another key difference in the ICT-use of this metric compared to the classic approach is that the average range is calculated from New York midnight Time, rather than the daily candle's open.
This exact concept was upscaled to higher Timeframe fractals obtaining the Average Weekly Range (AWR) and the Average Monthly Range (AMR). The latter two metrics are anchored at the first Monday’s midnight (New York Time) of the respective interval – however they also have the option to be anchored at the True Week Open (Tuesday’s Daily Open) and True Month Open (Second Week Open).
It is crucial to remember that the elements of Time are key when it comes to interpreting how price action will, or won't, react to these levels: what Time of the day is it? what day of the week? what week of the month?
If one thinks about the Power of Three of a candle (Accumulation, Manipulation Distribution), it is highly unlikely that a Manipulation event will happen later in the candle’s development – seeing the 1/3ADR hold in London session or New York open, seeing the 1/3AWR hold on Tuesday or Wednesday, or seeing price race to the 1/3AMR early on in the month gives undeniable edge to an Analyst.
Apart from the 1/3 level seen from a Judas perspective, the opposing 1/3 level, and the full AR projections, are excellent algorithmic levels at which we will see orderflow or reactions worth studying. These can be take profit targets, reversal opportunities, pyramid entries, …
Last but not least, the tool is equipped with a Data Table. You have a clear narrative but you are unsure of when price will expand? Track the previous 5 ARs and the current Range for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly – the smaller the AR the higher the chance for an expansion, the larger the AR the higher the chance for a consolidation.
Tool Features:
Auto Color the drawings based on your chart’s background or choose your own
Decide whether to consider daily candles, or New York (00:00 to 00:00 NY Time) for the basis of the calculation
Show the last 10 Historical Levels
– See the AR Range, the AR price levels and 1/3AR price levels by hovering over the text labels
Plot the AR levels from their Time Anchor, or as offset markers on the side for a cleaner look
Show/Hide all elements individually
In the Idea below, you can see how INDEX:BTCUSD hit the 1/3AMR level at the end of the second week of the month. The subsequent rejection from this level suggests we might have witnessed a Judas Swing, hence we flip to bullish bias.
In the more recent AWR levels, we can see how price did not touch any level until friday – this is a consolidation week with low probability setups. This was expected, if one looks at the precious two week's ranges and respective average ranges in the Data Table: both breached the AR value, due to to the great expansion higher.
Lastly for the ADR levels we can see how the Judas higher got beautifully stopped at the 1/3 level, and the full ADR level on the opposite side catches price while it falls.

Zazzamira 50-25-25 Trend System Alerts OnlyPublishing my trading system script. It consist of several conditions to happen in order to open a trade. Work best on ES/MES 5 minute timeframe.
I like to use it with this settings:
- UTC -6 (don't tick Exchange Timezone)
and rest as default
To enter a trade, the following conditions must be met: Entry 1: the opening range (8:30AM - 9:15AM UTC-6) must be defined and the price must close above or below the opening range on the 5-minute timeframe. This entry condition defines the trade direction (above = long / below = short). Once the opening range is defined, the Trend-Based Fib Extension is applied from the range high to the range low (and vice versa). Fib levels are required for Exit conditions. Entry 2: the 8 - 27 - 67 - 97 EMAs must be defined. If the EMAs value order is 8 > 27 > 67 > 97, long-only trades are allowed. If the EMAs value order is 8 < 27 < 67 < 97, short-only trades are allowed. This entry condition filters fake breakouts of Entry 1. Entry 3: no trades are allowed after 12:59 UTC-6 (2PM EST). Entry 4: if Entry 1, Entry 2, and Entry 3 conditions are valid and the price hasn't reached the 23.6% Fib line, an entry order can be set at the range high/long with 4 contracts. To exit a trade, the following conditions must be met: Exit 1 (Stop loss): set a trailing stop based on 2.1x ATR (14) from entry. Exit 2: take 50% profits at the 23.6% Fib and leave trailing stop untouched. Exit 3: if Exit 2 triggers, take 50% (25% of total entry) off at 61.8% Fib, leaving Exit 2 trailing stop values valid. Exit 4: exit the full position at the FIB 100% value. Exit 5: all trades must be closed at 3pm UTC-6 (4PM EST). So basically Take Profit are 50%-25%-25% of position.

Institutional FVG & Liquidity Range Candle (Expo)█ Institutional FVG with predicted SR levels & Liquidity Range Candle is an indicator that uses Smart Money Concepts to give you the insights needed to make informed decisions based on the theory in SMC. This premium toolkit work in any market and timeframe.
█ Institutional Fair Value Gap , also known as imbalance, inefficiencies, and Liquidity void, identifies the most significant FVG within the lookback period. This is often referred to as Institutional Fair Value Gap since only big players can cause these liquidity voids.
Fair Value Gap, Liquidity voids are sudden price changes without enough liquidity at a stable price, and the price jumps from the originating price level to the final price level, creating an imbalance in price.
The price tends to fill or retest the FVG area, and traders understand at which price level institutional players have been active. FVG is a valuable concept in trading, as they provide insights about where many orders were injected, creating this inefficiency in the market. The price tends to restore the balance.
This indicator highlights the most significant Fair Value Gap on the chart and plots predicted future support and resistance levels based on the price action created at the FVG. A super simple and yet effective way to get solid market levels that acts as a magnet for the price.
█ Liquidity Range Candle is another trading concept used by large market players where they manipulate the price to stay inside a specific market area, creating a tight consolidation zone. Once the price breaks the liquidity range, liquidity flows into the market. It's an easy way to grab liquidity from retail traders. Stop losses are triggers, breakout traders jump into the market, and institutional traders absorb the liquidity.
If you don't see the liquidity, you become the liquidity!
A break of a liquidity range is a sign of a breakout, potential continuation, retracement, or reversal. Use it together with an overall market analysis. It's common that traders also mark the previous 1-3 liquidity ranges and plot them into the future. These zones can act as a future magnet for the price, and we can get a retest of the zones, or if we break above/below a previous range can be a sign of a trend change. We also know that these liquidity ranges have been important levels for institutional players, who may be willing to accumulate or distribute more orders at these levels.
█ HOW TO USE
Use the indicator to identify several important and commonly used trading concepts taught within the SMC.

Expected Range and SkewThis is an open source and updated version of my previous "Confidence Interval" script. This script provides you with the expected range over a given time period in the future and the skew of that range. For example, if you wanted to know the expected 1 standard deviation range of MSFT over the next 20 days, this will tell you that. Additionally, this script will also tell you the skew of the expected range.
How to use this script:
1) Enter the length, this will determine the number of data points used in the calculation of the expected range.
2) Enter the amount of time you want projected forward in minutes, hours, and days.
3) Input standard deviation of the expected range.
4) Pick the type of data you want shown from the dropdown menu. Your choices are either the expected range or the skew of the expected range.
5) Enter the x and y coordinates of the label (optional). This is useful so it doesn't impede your view of the plot.
Here are a few notes about this script:
First, the expected range line gives you the width of said range (upper bound - lower bound), and the label will tell you specifically what the upper and lower bounds of the expected range are.
Second, this script will work on any of the default timeframes, but you need to be careful with how far out you try to project the expected range depending on the timeframe you're using. For example, if you're using the 1min timeframe, it probably won't do you any good trying to project the expected range over the next 20 days; or if you're using the daily timeframe it doesn't make sense to try to project the expected range for the next 5 hours. You can tell if the time horizon you're trying to project doesn't work well with the chart timeframe you're using if the current price is outside of either the upper or lower bounds provided in the label. If the current price is within the upper and lower bounds provided in the label, then the time horizon that you're projecting over is reasonable for the chart timeframe you're using.
Third, this script does not countdown automatically, so the time provided in the label will stay the same. For example, in the picture above, the expected range of Dow Futures over the next 23 days from January 12th, 2021 is calculated. But when tomorrow comes it won't count down to 22 days, instead it will show the range over the next 23 days from January 13th, 2021. So if you want the time horizon to change as time goes on you will have to update this yourself manually.
Lastly, if you try to set an alert on this script, you will get a warning about it possibly repainting. This is because of the label, not the plot itself. The label constantly updates itself, which triggers the warning. I tested setting alerts on this script both with and without the inclusion of the label, and without the label the repainting warning did not occur. So remember, if you set an alert on this script you will get a warning about it possibly repainting, but this is because of the label constantly updating, not the plot itself.
[astropark] trade yesterday rangeDear followers,
today a nice scalping tool for day trading on low time frames (1-3-5 minutes)!
Each day the indicator will print some important levels and ranges related to the trading day before:
yesterday high (black line)
yesterday day range averange (silver line)
yesterday low (black line)
average between yesterday high and yesterday average, together with a resistance range (red)
average between yesterday low and yesterday average, together with a support range (green)
two extension ranges above yesterday high (first is blue, second is red)
two extension ranges below yesterday low (first is blue, second is green)
Trading levels is one of most effective trading tecniques:
once a level is broken upwards, you can long (buy) the bullish retest with stoploss below recent low
once a level is broken downwards, you can short (sell) the bearish retest with stoploss below recent high
consolidation below or at a resistance level is bullish, so long (buy) breakout upwards and long more on a bullish retest of broken level
consolidation above or at a support level is bearish, so short (sell) breakout downwards and short more on a bearish retest of broken level
many times you see a level to be tested 2 or 3 times: short (sell) double and triple top, long (buy) double or triple bottom
Here you can see the levels described above and basic usage in a consolidation trading day:
A trader who wants to be a winner must understand that money and risk management are very important, so manage your position size and always have a stop loss in your trades.
Here you can see many examples on how to use this indicator.
Triple top on yesterday range high: perfect short setup (5 take profits targets in the example)
Resistance levels broken: long setup on bullish retest (2 take profits targets in the example)
Double top and support broken: 2 short setups (2 and 3 take profits targets in the example)
Here some examples how to basically use the indicator in a consolidation trading day: short (sell) resistance levels, long (buy) support levels

[GYTS-Pro] Market Regime Detector🧊 Market Regime Detector (Professional Edition)
🌸 Part of GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) 🌸
🌸 --------- INTRODUCTION --------- 🌸
💮 What is the Market Regime Detector?
The Market Regime Detector (Pro) is an elite, consensus-based market state analyzer designed to filter noise and identify the true underlying market structure. By distinguishing between trending (bullish or bearish) and cyclic (range-bound) market conditions with high precision, this detector acts as the "brain" of your trading system. Instead of forcing a single strategy across incompatible market conditions, the detector empowers you to deploy the right tactic at exactly the right time.
💮 The Importance of Market Regimes
Markets constantly shift between different behavioural states or "regimes":
• Bullish trending markets - characterised by sustained upward price movement
• Bearish trending markets - characterised by sustained downward price movement
• Cyclic markets - characterised by range-bound, oscillating behaviour
Each regime requires fundamentally different trading approaches. Trend-following strategies excel in trending markets but fail in cyclic ones, while mean-reversion strategies shine in cyclic markets but underperform in trending conditions. However, detecting these regimes is easier said than done, and we have gone through hundreds of hours of testing to create the Market Regime Detector, using multiple very sophisticated methods in an easy-to-use indicator.
💮 Professional vs Community Edition
The Market Regime Detector comes in two versions: a comprehensive Professional Edition and a streamlined Community Edition.
Key advantages of the Professional Edition:
• Enhanced detection accuracy - Utilises 5 advanced detection methods (compared to only 2 in the CE version)
• Proprietary cycle measurement - Automatically detects the market's dominant cycle instead of requiring manual input
• Superior consensus mechanism - Includes a unique "strength-weighted decision" mode that gives more influence to stronger signals
• Reduced false signals - Multiple complementary methods working together provide more reliable regime identification
• Advanced DSP algorithms - Implements sophisticated digital signal processing techniques for superior market analysis
The Professional Edition delivers significant improvements in detection accuracy, signal stability, and overall trading performance.
🌸 --------- KEY FEATURES --------- 🌸
💮 Consensus-Based Detection
Rather than relying on a single method, our detector employs multiple complementary detection methodologies that analyse different aspects of market behaviour:
• Advanced digital signal processing techniques
• Volatility and momentum analysis
• Adaptive filters and mathematical transformations
• Cycle identification
• Channel breakout detection
These diverse perspectives are synthesised into a robust consensus that minimises false signals while maintaining responsiveness to genuine regime changes.
💮 Proprietary Dominant Cycle Measurement ( Pro Edition only )
At the heart of our Professional Edition detector is a proprietary dominant cycle measurement system that automatically and adaptively identifies the market's natural rhythm. This system provides a stable reference framework that continuously adapts to changing market conditions while avoiding the erratic behaviour of typical cycle-finding algorithms like Hilbert Transforms, Discrete Fourier Transforms, or autocorrelation measurements.
Unlike the Community Edition which requires manual input of a single, constant dominant cycle period, the Professional Edition automatically detects and continuously adapts this critical parameter. This automated and adaptive approach ensures optimal detection accuracy across different markets and timeframes without requiring user expertise in cycle analysis, and provides significantly better responsiveness to evolving market conditions.
💮 Intuitive Parameter System
We've distilled complex technical parameters into intuitive controls that traders can easily understand:
• Adaptability - how quickly the detector responds to changing market conditions
• Sensitivity - how readily the detector identifies transitions between regimes
• Consensus requirement - how much agreement is needed among detection methods
This approach makes the detector accessible to traders of all experience levels while preserving the power of the underlying algorithms.
💮 Visual Market Feedback
The detector provides clear visual feedback about the current market regime through:
• Colour-coded chart backgrounds (purple shades for bullish, pink for bearish, yellow for cyclic)
• Colour-coded price bars
• Strength indicators showing the degree of consensus
• Customisable color schemes to match your preferences or trading system
💮 Integration in the GYTS suite
What is of paramount importance, is that the Market Regime Detector is compatible with the GYTS Suite , i.e. it passes the regime into the Order Orchestrator where you can set how to trade the trending and cyclic regime. The intention is to integrate it with more indicators.
🌸 --------- CONFIGURATION SETTINGS --------- 🌸
💮 Adaptability
Controls how quickly the Market Regime detector adapts to changing market conditions. You can see it as a low-frequency, long-term change parameter:
• Very Low: Very slow adaptation, most stable but may miss regime changes
• Low: Slower adaptation, more stability but less responsiveness
• Normal: Balanced between stability and responsiveness
• High: Faster adaptation, more responsive but less stable
• Very High: Very fast adaptation, highly responsive but may generate false signals
This setting affects lookback periods and filter parameters across all detection methods.
💮 Sensitivity
Controls the conviction threshold required to trigger a regime change. This acts as a high-frequency, short-term filter for market noise:
• Very Low: Requires overwhelming evidence to identify a regime change.
• Low: Prioritizes stability; reduces false signals but may delay transition detection.
• Normal: Balanced sensitivity suitable for most liquid markets.
• High: Highly responsive; detects subtle regime changes early but may react to market noise.
• Very High: Extremely sensitive; detects minor fluctuations immediately.
Pro Feature Note: In the Strength-Weighted Decision mode, this setting acts as a dynamic calibrator. It not only adjusts individual method thresholds but also scales the global consensus threshold . A 'High' sensitivity lowers the barrier for the weighted consensus, allowing the system to react to early-stage breakouts even if not all methods fully agree yet.
💮 Consensus Mode
Determines how the signals from all detection methods are combined to produce the final market regime:
• Any Method (OR) : Signals bullish/bearish if any method detects that regime. If methods conflict, the stronger signal wins. More sensitive, catches more regime changes but may produce more false signals.
• All Methods (AND) : Signals only when all methods agree on the regime. More conservative, reduces false signals but might miss some legitimate regime changes.
• Weighted Decision : Balances all methods with equal voting rights. Signals bullish/bearish when the weighted consensus reaches a fixed majority (0.5). Provides a middle ground between sensitivity and stability.
• Strength-Weighted Decision ( Pro Edition only ): A "meritocratic" approach where methods reporting extreme confidence (high signal strength) are given proportionally more weight than those reporting weak signals. Unlike standard voting, a single clear signal from a highly reliable method can override indecision from others.
Note: The threshold for this decision is dynamically calibrated by your 'Sensitivity' setting, ensuring the logic adapts to your desired risk profile.
Each mode also calculates a continuous regime strength value that drives the color intensity in the 'unconstrained' display mode, giving you a visual heatmap of trend conviction.
💮 Display Mode
Choose how to display the market regime colours:
• Unconstrained regime: Shows the regime strength as a continuous gradient. This provides more nuanced visualisation where the intensity of the color indicates the strength of the trend.
• Consensus only: Shows only the final consensus regime with fixed colours based on the detected regime type.
The background and bar colours will change to indicate the current market regime:
• Purple shades : Bullish trending market. In 'unconstrained' mode, darker purple indicates a stronger bullish trend.
• Pink shades : Bearish trending market. In 'unconstrained' mode, darker pink indicates a stronger bearish trend.
• Yellow : Cyclic (range-bound) market.
💮 Custom Color Options
The Market Regime Detector allows you to customize the color scheme to match your personal preferences or to coordinate with other indicators:
• Use custom colours: Toggle to enable your own color choices instead of the default scheme
• Transparency: Adjust the transparency level of all regime colours
• Bullish colours: Define custom colours for strong, medium, weak, and very weak bullish trends
• Bearish colours: Define custom colours for strong, medium, weak, and very weak bearish trends
• Cyclic color: Define a custom color for cyclic (range-bound) market conditions
🌸 --------- DETECTION METHODS --------- 🌸
💮 Five-Method Consensus Architecture
The Professional Edition employs a sophisticated multi-stage architecture to determine market regimes with high precision.
The detection process flows through four logical stages:
1. Market Data & Cycle Detection
Price data flows into the system where the Dominant Cycle Detector automatically identifies the market's natural rhythm. This adaptive cycle length calibrates all subsequent calculations, ensuring the detector remains in sync with changing market conditions without manual adjustments.
2. Five Detection Methods
Using the detected cycle, five complementary algorithms independently evaluate the market state:
• Cyclic Centroid Analysis : Calculates the market's 'centre point' over its dominant cycle and measures price displacement to determine trend or equilibrium.
• Spectral Momentum : Measures momentum across the market's frequency spectrum to identify trend concentration.
• Energy Distribution Gauge : Gauges how price movement energy is distributed to flag cyclic or trending states.
• Volatility Channel : Models the market's volatility state, using band breakouts to indicate a trend.
• Phase Coherence Detector : Analyses phase relationships between adaptive low-pass filters to detect trend stability and identify early regime shifts.
3. Consensus Engine
The signals from all five methods are fed into the Consensus Engine. Depending on your configuration, it aggregates these votes using one of four logic modes (Any, All, Weighted, or Strength-Weighted) to filter out noise and confirm the true market regime.
4. Regime Output
The final result is broadcast as a clear market state:
• Bullish (1) : Trending upwards
• Bearish (-1) : Trending downwards
• Cyclic (0) : Range-bound or oscillating
This output drives the visual feedback on your chart and can be streamed directly to the Order Orchestrator for automated strategy switching.
💮 Synergy & Complementarity
What makes these methods powerful is not just their individual sophistication, but how they complement one another:
• Some excel at early detection while others provide confirmation
• Some analyse time-domain behaviour while others work in the frequency domain
• Some focus on momentum characteristics while others assess volatility patterns
• Some respond quickly to changes while others filter out market noise
This creates a comprehensive analytical framework that can detect regime changes more accurately than any single method. All methods utilize the automatically detected and continuously adaptive dominant cycle period, ensuring they remain precisely calibrated to current market conditions without manual intervention.
🌸 --------- USAGE GUIDE --------- 🌸
💮 Starting with Default Settings
The default settings (Normal for Adaptability, Sensitivity, and Consensus) provide a balanced starting point suitable for most markets and timeframes. Begin by observing how these settings identify regimes in your preferred instruments.
💮 Adjusting Parameters
• If you notice too many regime changes → Decrease Sensitivity or increase Consensus requirement
• If regime changes seem delayed → Increase Adaptability
• If a trending regime is not detected, the market is automatically assigned to be in a cyclic state. The majority of methods actually measure this explicitly.
• If you want to see more nuanced regime transitions → Try the "unconstrained" display mode (note that this will not affect the output to other indicators)
💮 Trading Applications
Regime-Specific Strategies:
• Bullish Trending Regime - Use trend-following strategies, trail stops wider, focus on breakouts, consider holding positions longer, and emphasise buying dips
• Bearish Trending Regime - Consider shorts, tighter stops, focus on breakdown points, sell rallies, implement downside protection, and reduce position sizes
• Cyclic Regime - Apply mean-reversion strategies, trade range boundaries, apply oscillators, target definable support/resistance levels, and use profit-taking at extremes
Strategy Switching:
Create a set of rules for each market regime and switch between them based on the detector's signal. This approach can significantly improve performance compared to applying a single strategy across all market conditions. The Pro Edition's multiple detection methods and advanced consensus mechanisms provide more reliable regime transitions, leading to better strategy switching decisions.
GYTS Suite Integration:
• In the GYTS 🎼 Order Orchestrator, select the '🔗 STREAM-int 🧊 Market Regime' as the market regime source
• Note that the consensus output (i.e. not the "unconstrained" display) will be used in this stream
• Create different strategies for trending (bullish/bearish) and cyclic regimes. The GYTS 🎼 Order Orchestrator is specifically made for this.
• The output stream is actually very simple, and can possibly be used in indicators and strategies as well. It outputs 1 for bullish, -1 for bearish and 0 for cyclic regime.
🌸 --------- FINAL NOTES --------- 🌸
💮 Development Philosophy
The Market Regime Detector has been developed with several key principles in mind:
1. Robustness - The detection methods have been rigorously tested across diverse markets and timeframes to ensure reliable performance.
2. Adaptability - The detector automatically adjusts to changing market conditions, requiring minimal manual intervention.
3. Complementarity - Each detection method provides a unique perspective, with the collective consensus being more reliable than any individual method.
4. Intuitiveness - Complex technical parameters have been abstracted into easily understood controls.
💮 Ongoing Refinement
The Market Regime Detector is under continuous development. We regularly:
• Fine-tune parameters based on expanded market data using state-of-the-art Machine Learning techniques
• Research and integrate new detection methodologies
• Optimise computational efficiency for real-time analysis
Your feedback and suggestions are very important in this ongoing refinement process!
Pivot Move Ranges█ OVERVIEW
“Pivot Move Ranges” is an indicator that displays only the historical price ranges of moves that match the direction of the current swing.
It measures the price range of each individual swing and draws them as horizontal Δ-boxes positioned at the level of the most recently detected pivot.
The indicator operates with a delay equal to the set pivot detection length – after each new Pivot High, only red Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous downward moves; after each new Pivot Low, only green Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous upward moves. When the swing direction changes, the displayed set of levels instantly switches to the opposite direction.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was created to instantly provide the trader with objective, real historical price ranges – perfectly reinforcing classic tools such as Fibonacci extension/retracement, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, order blocks, or Volume Profile.
It detects classic Pivot High and Pivot Low points:
- New Pivot High → only previous downward moves are shown (red Δ-boxes)
- New Pivot Low → only previous upward moves are shown (green Δ-boxes)
This ensures that at any moment you see only the historical ranges that match the current market direction. Price moves very often repeat themselves – the indicator makes these recurring levels immediately visible and ready to serve as natural reinforcement for other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Pivot High / Pivot Low detection with adjustable length (default 12)
- Δ-boxes – thin horizontal lines showing the exact size of previous moves that match the current swing
- Automatic switching of the Δ-box set whenever a new opposite pivot appears
- Memory of the last N moves (default 6, max. 50) – oldest are automatically removed
- Labels showing move size (Δ) and start date/time
- Full color customization (separate for up and down), border and text transparency
- Choice of date format (DD.MM.YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY)
- Small circles marking the exact pivot locations
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → paste the code → Add to Chart.
Settings:
- Pivot Length – higher values = fewer but more significant pivots (detected with a delay equal to this length)
- Max Corrections to Keep – how many previous matching moves are displayed at once
- Upward / Downward Box Color – colors of the Δ-boxes
- Box Border Transparency (%) – 0 = solid lines, 50–70 = subtle
- Show Δ Text + Move Start Date – turn labels on/off
Interpretation:
At any given moment the chart shows only the historical ranges of moves in the current direction:
- after a Pivot High → red Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously fell”
- after a Pivot Low → green Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously rose”
█ APPLICATIONS
- Instant reinforcement of technical levels – historical moves matching the current swing direction often coincide with Fibonacci levels, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, or order blocks
- Fast cluster detection – set a high Max Corrections value (30–50) to see where the largest number of similarly sized moves cluster, then reduce to 6–10 and focus only on the most recent levels
█ NOTES
- On very strong trends, Δ-boxes can be extremely long – this is normal and correct behavior
- Always use as a supporting layer alongside other technical analysis tools
Candle Range Theory - Higher-Timeframe ScannerThe CRT Range Scanner is a sophisticated trading tool that identifies potential Candle Range Theory (CRT) completions across multiple timeframes. Based on the Inner Circle Trader methodology, this indicator helps traders spot key market structure breaks and range expansions.
Key Features:
🔍 Higher-Timeframe Analysis: Automatically detects CRT patterns on higher timeframes while you trade on lower timeframes
🎯 Bullish & Bearish CRT Signals: Identifies both bullish (range expansion to downside) and bearish (range expansion to upside) completions
⏰ Kill Zone Filtering: Customizable trading sessions to focus only on high-probability market hours
📊 Visual Range Boxes: Clear visual representation of current and previous higher timeframe ranges
🏷️ Smart Labeling: Timeframe-specific labels for easy pattern recognition
How It Works:
Bullish CRT: Occurs when price breaks below previous low during specific session times, indicating potential bullish reversal
Bearish CRT: Occurs when price breaks above previous high during specific session times, indicating potential bearish reversal
The indicator draws colored boxes around the relevant price ranges and provides clear visual cues for pattern recognition
Match on Selectable Percentage Change + RangeIndicator Overview:
Match on Selectable Percentage Change + Range is a powerful analytical tool designed for traders and analysts who want to identify historical price bars that match a specific percentage variation, and then evaluate how price evolved in the following days. It combines precision filtering with visual tabular feedback, making it ideal for pattern recognition, backtesting, and scenario analysis.
What It Does
This indicator scans historical bars to find instances where the percentage change between two consecutive closes matches a user-defined target (± a customizable tolerance). Once matches are found, it displays:
The date of each match (most recent first)
The actual variation searched
The percentage change after 2, 10, 20, and 30 bars
The min-max range (in %) over those same periods
All results are shown in a dynamic table directly on the chart.
Inputs & Controls
Input Description
Which variation do you want to analyze? (%)
Set the target percentage change to look for (e.g. 2.5%)
% deviation from the variation to be considered (%) Define the tolerance range around the target (e.g. ±0.5%)
Bars to analyze (max 9999) Set how many past bars to scan
Show match table Toggle to enable/disable the entire table
Show percentage variations (2d, 10d, 20d, 30d) Toggle to show/hide post-match percentage changes
Show min-max ranges (2d, 10d, 20d, 30d) Toggle to show/hide post-match high/low ranges
Table Structure
Each row in the table represents a historical match. Columns include:
Date: When the match occurred
Variation in: The actual % change that triggered the match
2d / 10d / 20d / 30d: % change after those days
Min-Max 2d / 10d / 20d / 30d: Range of price movement after those days
Color coding helps quickly identify bullish (green) vs bearish (red) outcomes.
Use Cases
Backtesting: See how similar past moves evolved over time
Scenario modeling: Estimate potential outcomes after a known variation
Pattern recognition: Spot recurring setups or volatility clusters
Risk analysis: Understand post-variation drawdowns and upside potential
Tips for Use
Use tighter deviation (e.g. 0.3%) for precision, or wider (e.g. 1%) for broader pattern capture.
Combine with other indicators to validate setups (e.g. volume, RSI, trend filters).
Toggle off variation or range columns to focus only on the metrics you need.
Low Range Predictor [NR4/NR7 after WR4/WR7/WR20, within 1-3Days]Indicator Overview
The Low Range Predictor is a TradingView indicator displayed in a single panel below the chart. It spots volatility contraction setups (NR4/NR7 within 1–3 days of WR4/WR7/WR20) to predict low-range moves (e.g., <0.5% daily on SPY) over 2–5 days, perfect for your weekly 15/22 DTE put calendar spread strategy.
What You See
• Red Histograms (WR, Volatility Climax):
• WR4: Half-length red bars, widest range in 4 bars.
• WR7: Three-quarter-length red bars, widest in 7 bars.
• WR20: Full-length red bars, widest in 20 bars.
• Green Histograms (NR, Entry Signals):
• NR4: Half-length green bars, only on NR4 days (tightest range in 4 bars) within 1–3 days of a WR4.
• NR7: Full-length green bars, only on NR7 days within 1–3 days of a WR7.
• Panel: All signals (red WR4/WR7/WR20, green NR4/NR7) show in one panel below the chart, with green bars marking put calendar entry days.
Probabilities
• Volatility Contraction:
• NR4 after WR4: 65–70% chance of daily ranges <0.5% on SPY for 2–5 days (ATR drops 20–30%). Occurs ~2–3 times/month.
• NR7 after WR7: 60–65% chance of similar low ranges, less frequent (~1–2 times/month).
• Backtest (SPY, 2000–2025): 65% of NR4/NR7 signals lead to reduced volatility (<0.7% daily range) vs. 50% for random days.
• Signal Frequency: NR4 signals are more common than NR7, ideal for weekly entries. WR20 provides context but isn’t tied to NR signals.
Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)
INTRO
This is a probability-centric take on volume profile. I treat the volume histogram as an empirical PDF over price, updated in real time, which makes multi-modality (multiple acceptance basins) explicit rather than assumed away. The immediate benefit is operational: if we can read the shape of the distribution, we can infer likely reversion levels (POC), acceptance boundaries (VAH/VAL), and low-friction corridors (LVNs).
My working hypothesis is that what traders often label “fat tails” or “power-law behavior” at short horizons is frequently a tail-conditioned view of a higher-level Gaussian regime. In other words, child distributions (shorter periodicities) sit within parent distributions (longer periodicities); when price operates in the parent’s tail, the child regime looks heavy-tailed without being fundamentally non-Gaussian. This is consistent with a hierarchical/mixture view and with the spirit of the central limit theorem—Gaussian structure emerges at aggregate scales, while local scales can look non-Gaussian due to nesting and conditioning.
This indicator operationalizes that view by plotting two nested empirical PDFs: a rolling (local) profile and a session-anchored profile. Their confluence makes ranges explicit and turns “regime” into something you can see. For additional nesting, run multiple instances with different lookbacks. When using the default settings combined with a separate daily VP, you effectively get three nested distributions (local → session → daily) on the chart.
This indicator plots two nested distributions side-by-side:
Rolling (Local) Profile — short-window, prorated histogram that “breathes” with price and maps the immediate auction.
Session Anchored Profile — cumulative distribution since the current session start (Premkt → RTH → AH anchoring), revealing the parent regime.
Use their confluence to identify range floors/ceilings, mean-reversion magnets, and low-volume “air pockets” for fast traverses.
What it shows
POC (dashed): central tendency / “magnet” (highest-volume bin).
VAH & VAL (solid): acceptance boundaries enclosing an exact Value Area % around each profile’s POC.
Volume histograms:
Rolling can auto-color by buy/sell dominance over the lookback (green = buying ≥ selling, red = selling > buying).
Session uses a fixed style (blue by default).
Session anchoring (exchange timezone):
Premarket → anchors at 00:00 (midnight).
RTH → anchors at 09:30.
After-hours → anchors at 16:00.
Session display span:
Session Max Span (bars) = 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
> 0 → draw a rolling window N bars back → now, while still measuring all volume since session start.
Why it’s useful
Think in terms of nested probability distributions: the rolling node is your local Gaussian; the session node is its parent.
VA↔VA overlap ≈ strong range boundary.
POC↔POC alignment ≈ reliable mean-reversion target.
LVNs (gaps) ≈ low-friction corridors—expect quick moves to the next node.
Quick start
Add to chart (great on 5–10s, 15–60s, 1–5m).
Start with: bins = 240, vaPct = 0.68, barsBack = 60.
Watch for:
First test & rejection at overlapping VALs/VAHs → fade back toward POC.
Acceptance beyond VA (several closes + growing outer-bin mass) → traverse to the next node.
Inputs (detailed)
General
Lookback Bars (Rolling)
Count of most-recent bars for the rolling/local histogram. Larger = smoother node that shifts slower; smaller = more reactive, “breathing” profile.
• Typical: 40–80 on 5–10s charts; 60–120 on 1–5m.
• If you increase this but keep Number of Bins fixed, each bin aggregates more volume (coarser bins).
Number of Bins
Vertical resolution (price buckets) for both rolling and session histograms. Higher = finer detail and crisper LVNs, but more line objects (closer to platform limits).
• Typical: 120–240 on 5–10s; 80–160 on 1–5m.
• If you hit performance or object limits, reduce this first.
Value Area %
Exact central coverage for VAH/VAL around POC. Computed empirically from the histogram (no Gaussian assumption): the algorithm expands from POC outward until the chosen % is enclosed.
• Common: 0.68 (≈“1σ-like”), 0.70 for slightly wider core.
• Smaller = tighter VA (more breakout flags). Larger = wider VA (more reversion bias).
Max Local Profile Width (px)
Horizontal length (in pixels) of the rolling bars/lines and its VA/POC overlays. Visual only (does not affect calculations).
Session Settings
RTH Start/End (exchange tz)
Defines the current session anchor (Premkt=00:00, RTH=your start, AH=your end). The session histogram always measures from the most recent session start and resets at each boundary.
Session Max Span (bars, 0 = full session)
Display window for session drawings (POC/VA/Histogram).
• 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
• > 0 → draw N bars back → now (rolling look), while still measuring all volume since session start.
This keeps the “parent” distribution measurable while letting the display track current action.
Local (Rolling) — Visibility
Show Local Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Toggle each overlay independently. If you approach object limits, disable bars first (POC/VA lines are lighter).
Local (Rolling) — Colors & Widths
Color by Buy/Sell Dominance
Fast uptick/downtick proxy over the rolling window (close vs open):
• Buying ≥ Selling → Bullish Color (default lime).
• Selling > Buying → Bearish Color (default red).
This color drives local bars, local POC, and local VA lines.
• Disable to use fixed Bars Color / POC Color / VA Lines Color.
Bars Transparency (0–100) — alpha for the local histogram (higher = lighter).
Bars Line Width (thickness) — draw thin-line profiles or chunky blocks.
POC Line Width / VA Lines Width — overlay thickness. POC is dashed, VAH/VAL solid by design.
Session — Visibility
Show Session Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Independent toggles for the session layer.
Session — Colors & Widths
Bars/POC/VA Colors & Line Widths
Fixed palette by design (default blue). These do not change with buy/sell dominance.
• Use transparency and width to make the parent profile prominent or subtle.
• Prefer minimal? Hide session bars; keep only session VA/POC.
Reading the signals (detailed playbook)
Core definitions
POC — highest-volume bin (fair price “magnet”).
VAH/VAL — upper/lower bounds enclosing your Value Area % around POC.
Node — contiguous block of high-volume bins (acceptance).
LVN — low-volume gap between nodes (low friction path).
Rejection vs Acceptance (practical rule)
Rejection at VA edge: 0–1 closes beyond VA and no persistent growth in outer bins.
Acceptance beyond VA: ≥3 closes beyond VA and outer-bin mass grows (e.g., added volume beyond the VA edge ≥ 5–10% of node volume over the last N bars). Treat acceptance as regime change.
Confluence scores (make boundary/target quality objective)
VA overlap strength (range boundary):
C_VA = 1 − |VA_edge_local − VA_edge_session| / ATR(n)
Values near 1.0 = tight overlap (stronger boundary).
Use: if C_VA ≥ 0.6–0.8, treat as high-quality fade zone.
POC alignment (magnet quality):
C_POC = 1 − |POC_local − POC_session| / ATR(n)
Higher C_POC = greater chance a rotation completes to that fair price.
(You can estimate these by eye.)
Setups
1) Range Fade at VA Confluence (mean reversion)
Context: Local VAL/VAH near Session VAL/VAH (tight overlap), clear node, local color not screaming trend (or flips to your side).
Entry: First test & rejection at the overlapped band (wick through ok; prefer close back inside).
Stop: A tick/pip beyond the wider of the two VA edges or beyond the nearest LVN, a small buffer zone can be used to judge whether price is truly rejecting a VAL/VAH or simply probing.
Targets: T1 node mid; T2 POC (size up when C_POC is high).
Flip: If acceptance (rule above) prints, flip bias or stand down.
2) LVN Traverse (continuation)
Context: Price exits VA and enters an LVN with acceptance and growing outer-bin volume.
Entry: Aggressive—first close into LVN; Conservative—retest of the VA edge from the far side (“kiss goodbye”).
Stop: Back inside the prior VA.
Targets: Next node’s VA edge or POC (edge = faster exits; POC = fuller rotations).
Note: Flatter VA edge (shallower curvature) tends to breach more easily.
3) POC→POC Magnet Trade (rotation completion)
Context: Local POC ≈ Session POC (high C_POC).
Entry: Fade a VA touch or pullback inside node, aiming toward the shared POC.
Stop: Past the opposite VA edge or LVN beyond.
Target: The shared POC; optional runner to opposite VA if the node is broad and time-of-day is supportive.
4) Failed Break (Reversion Snap-back)
Context: Push beyond VA fails acceptance (re-enters VA, outer-bin growth stalls/shrinks).
Entry: On the re-entry close, back toward POC.
Stop/Target: Stop just beyond the failed VA; target POC, then opposite VA if momentum persists.
How to read color & shape
Local color = most recent sentiment:
Green = buying ≥ selling; Red = selling > buying (over the rolling window). Treat as context, not a standalone signal. A green local node under a blue session VAH can still be a fade if the parent says “over-valued.”
Shape tells friction:
Fat nodes → rotation-friendly (fade edges).
Sharp LVN gaps → traversal-friendly (momentum continuation).
Time-of-day intuition
Right after session anchor (e.g., RTH 09:30): Session profile is young and moves quickly—treat confluence cautiously.
Mid-session: Cleanest behavior for rotations.
Close / news: Expect more traverses and POC migrations; tighten risk or switch playbooks.
Risk & execution guidance
Use tight, mechanical stops at/just beyond VA or LVN. If you need wide stops to survive noise, your entry is late or the node is unstable.
On micro-timeframes, account for fees & slippage—aim for targets paying ≥2–3× average cost.
If acceptance prints, don’t fight it—flip, reduce size, or stand aside.
Suggested presets
Scalp (5–10s): bins 120–240, barsBack 40–80, vaPct 0.68–0.70, local bars thin (small bar width).
Intraday (1–5m): bins 80–160, barsBack 60–120, vaPct 0.68–0.75, session bars more visible for parent context.
Performance & limits
Reuses line objects to stay under TradingView’s max_lines_count.
Very large bins × multiple overlays can still hit limits—use visibility toggles (hide bars first).
Session drawings use time-based coordinates to avoid “bar index too far” errors.
Known nuances
Rolling buy/sell dominance uses a simple uptick/downtick proxy (close vs open). It’s fast and practical, but it’s not a full tape classifier.
VA boundaries are computed from the empirical histogram—no Gaussian assumption.
This script does not calculate the full daily volume profile. Several other tools already provide that, including TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile indicators. Instead, this indicator focuses on pairing a rolling, short-term volume distribution with a session-wide distribution to make ranges more explicit. It is designed to supplement your use of standard or periodic volume profiles, not replace them. Think of it as a magnifying lens that helps you see where local structure aligns with the broader session.
How to trade it (TL;DR)
Fade overlapping VA bands on first rejection → target POC.
Continue through LVN on acceptance beyond VA → target next node’s VA/POC.
Respect acceptance: ≥3 closes beyond VA + growing outer-bin volume = regime change.
FAQ
Q: Why 68% Value Area?
A: It mirrors the “~1σ” idea, but we compute it exactly from empirical volume, not by assuming a normal distribution.
Q: Why are my profiles thin lines?
A: Increase Bars Line Width for chunkier blocks; reduce for fine, thin-line profiles.
Q: Session bars don’t reach session start—why?
A: Set Session Max Span (bars) = 0 for full anchoring; any positive value draws a rolling window while still measuring from session start.
