Key Prices & LevelsThis indicator is designed to visualize key price levels & areas for NY trading sessions based on the price action from previous day, pre-market activity and key areas from NY session itself. The purpose is to unify all key levels into a single indicator, while allowing a user to control which levels they want to visualize and how.
The indicator identifies the following:
Asia Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
London Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
Previous Day PM Session High/Lows
Current Day Lunch Session High/Lows, starts appearing after 12pm EST once the lunch session starts
New York Open (8:30am EST) price
9:53 Open (root candle) price
New York Midnight (12:00am EST) price
Previous Day High/Lows
First 1m FVG after NY Session Start (after 9:30am), with the ability to configure minimum FVG size.
Opening Range Gap, showing regular market hours close price (previous day 16:15pm EST close), new session open price (9:30am EST open) and optionally the mid-point between the two
Asia Range 50% along with 2, 2.5, 4 and 4.5 deviations of the Asia range in both directions
Configurability:
Each price level can be turned off
Styles in terms of line type, color
Ability to turn on/off labels for price levels and highlighting of prices on price scale
Ability to control label text for price levels
How is it different:
Identifies novel concepts such as 9:53 open, root candle that can be used as a bounce/resistance area during AM/PM sessions as well as confirmation of direction once closed over/under to indicate price's willingness to continue moving in the same direction.
It also shows 1st 1m FVG after New York Session open, that can be used to determine direction of the price action depending on PA's reaction to that area. While both 9:53 and 1m FVG are 1m based markers, these levels are visualized by the indicator on all timeframes from 15s to 1h.
Additionally the indicator is able to both highlight key prices in the price scale pane as well as combine labels to minimize clutter when multiple levels have the same price.
Lastly for in-session ranges such as Lunch High/Low the indicator updates the range in real-time as opposed to waiting for the lunch session to be over.

ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.

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

Macros
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite identifying the ICT macros!
ICT Macros are only displayable on the 5 minute timeframe or less.
Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!
Judas Swing ICT 01 [TradingFinder] New York Midnight Opening M15🔵 Introduction
The Judas Swing (ICT Judas Swing) is a trading strategy developed by Michael Huddleston, also known as Inner Circle Trader (ICT). This strategy allows traders to identify fake market moves designed by smart money to deceive retail traders.
By concentrating on market structure, price action patterns, and liquidity flows, traders can align their trades with institutional movements and avoid common pitfalls. It is particularly useful in FOREX and stock markets, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points while minimizing risks from false breakouts.
In today's volatile markets, understanding how smart money manipulates price action across sessions such as Asia, London, and New York is essential for success. The ICT Judas Swing strategy helps traders avoid common pitfalls by focusing on key movements during the opening time and range of each session, identifying breakouts and false breakouts.
By utilizing various time frames and improving risk management, this strategy enables traders to make more informed decisions and take advantage of significant market movements.
In the Judas Swing strategy, for a bullish setup, the price first touches the high of the 15-minute range of New York midnight and then the low. After that, the price returns upward, breaks the high, and if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback, a buy signal is generated.
bearish setup, the price first touches the low of the range, then the high. With the price returning downward and breaking the low, if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback to the low, a sell signal is generated.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively implement the Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) in trading, traders must first identify the price range of the 15-minute window following New York midnight. This range, consisting of highs and lows, sets the stage for the upcoming movements in the London and New York sessions.
🟣 Bullish Setup
For a bullish setup, the price first moves to touch the high of the range, then the low, before returning upward to break the high. Following this, a pullback occurs, and if a valid candlestick confirmation (such as a reversal pattern) is observed, a buy signal is generated. This confirmation could indicate the presence of smart money supporting the bullish movement.
🟣 Bearish Setup
For a bearish setup, the process is the reverse. The price first touches the low of the range, then the high. Afterward, the price moves downward again and breaks the low. A pullback follows to the broken low, and if a bearish candlestick confirmation is seen, a sell signal is generated. This confirmation signals the continuation of the downward price movement.
Using the Judas Swing strategy enables traders to avoid fake breakouts and focus on strong market confirmations. The strategy is versatile, applying to FOREX, stocks, and other financial instruments, offering optimal trading opportunities through market structure analysis and time frame synchronization.
To execute this strategy successfully, traders must combine it with effective risk management techniques such as setting appropriate stop losses and employing optimal risk-to-reward ratios. While the Judas Swing is a powerful tool for predicting price movements, traders should remember that no strategy is entirely risk-free. Proper capital management remains a critical element of long-term success.
By mastering the ICT Judas Swing strategy, traders can better identify entry and exit points and avoid common traps from fake market movements, ultimately improving their trading performance.
🔵 Setting
Opening Range : High and Low identification time range.
Extend : The time span of the dashed line.
Permit : Signal emission time range.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that helps traders identify fake moves and align their trades with institutional actions, reducing risk and enhancing their ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
By leveraging key levels such as range highs and lows, fake breakouts, and candlestick confirmations, traders can enter trades with more precision. This strategy is applicable in forex, stocks, and other financial markets and, with proper risk management, can lead to consistent trading success.
Periodic Linear Regressions [LuxAlgo]The Periodic Linear Regressions (PLR) indicator calculates linear regressions periodically (similar to the VWAP indicator) based on a user-set period (anchor).
This allows for estimating underlying trends in the price, as well as providing potential supports/resistances.
🔶 USAGE
The Periodic Linear Regressions indicator calculates a linear regression over a user-selected interval determined from the selected "Anchor Period".
The PLR can be visualized as a regular linear regression (Static), with a fit readjusting for new data points until the end of the selected period, or as a moving average (Rolling), with new values obtained from the last point of a linear regression fitted over the calculation interval. While the static method line is prone to repainting, it has value since it can further emphasize the linearity of an underlying trend, as well as suggest future trend directions by extrapolating the fit.
Extremities are included in the indicator, these are obtained from the root mean squared error (RMSE) between the price and calculated linear regression. The Multiple setting allows the users to control how far each extremity is from the other.
Periodic Linear Regressions can be helpful in finding support/resistance areas or even opportunities when ranging in a channel.
The anchor - where a new period starts - can be shown (in this case in the top right corner).
The shown bands can be visualized by enabling Show Extremities in settings ( Rolling or Static method).
The script includes a background gradient color option for the bands, which only applies when using the Rolling method.
The indicator colors can be suggestive of the detected trend and are determined as follows:
Method Rolling: a gradient color between red and green indicates the trend; more green if the output is rising, suggesting an uptrend, and more red if it is decreasing, suggesting a downtrend.
Method Static: green if the slope of the line is positive, suggesting an uptrend, red if negative, suggesting a downtrend.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Anchor Type
When the Anchor Type is set to Periodic , the indicator will be reset when the "Anchor Period" changes, after which calculations will start again.
An anchored rolling line set at First Bar won't reset at a new session; it will continue calculating the linear regression from the first bar to the last; in other words, every bar is included in the calculation. This can be useful to detect potential long-term tops/bottoms.
Note that a linear regression needs at least two values for its calculation, which explains why you won't see a static line at the first bar of the session. The rolling linear regression will only show from the 3rd bar of the session since it also needs a previous value.
🔹 Rolling/Static
When Anchor Type is set at Periodic , a linear regression is calculated between the first bar of the chosen session and the current bar, aiming to find the line that best fits the dataset.
The example above shows the lines drawn during the session. The offered script, though, shows the last calculated point connected to the previous point when the Rolling method is chosen, while the Static method shows the latest line.
Note that linear regression needs at least two values, which explains why you won't see a static line at the first bar of the session. The rolling line will only show from the 3rd bar of the session since it also needs a previous value.
🔶 SETTINGS
Method: Indicator method used, with options: "Static" (straight line) / "Rolling" (rolling linear regression).
Anchor Type: "Periodic / First Bar" (the latter works only when "Method" is set to "Rolling").
Anchor Period: Only applicable when "Anchor Type" is set at "Periodic".

ORB Heikin Ashi SPY 5min Correlation StrategyOverview:
The ORB (Opening Range Breakout) strategy combined with Heikin Ashi candles and Relative Volume (RVOL) indicator aims to capitalize on significant price movements that occur shortly after the market opens. This strategy identifies breakouts above or below the opening range, using Heikin Ashi candles for smoother price visualization and RVOL to gauge the strength of the breakout.
Components:
Opening Range Breakout (ORB): The strategy starts by defining the opening range, typically the first few minutes of the trading session. It then identifies breakouts above the high or below the low of this range as potential entry points.
Heikin Ashi Candles: Heikin Ashi candles are used to provide a smoother representation of price movements compared to traditional candlesticks. By averaging open, close, high, and low prices of the previous candle, Heikin Ashi candles reduce noise and highlight trends more effectively.
Relative Volume (RVOL): RVOL compares the current volume of a stock to its average volume over a specified period. It helps traders identify abnormal trading activity, which can signal potential price movements.
Candle for correlation : In this case we are using SPY candles. It can also use different asset
Strategy Execution:
Initialization: The strategy initializes by setting up variables and parameters, including the ORB period, session timings, and Heikin Ashi candle settings.
ORB Calculation: It calculates the opening range by identifying the high and low prices during the specified session time. These values serve as the initial reference points for potential breakouts. For this we are looking for the first 30 min of the US opening session.
After that we are going to use the next 2 hours to check for breakout opportunities.
Heikin Ashi Transformation: Optionally, the strategy transforms traditional candlestick data into Heikin Ashi format for smoother visualization and trend identification.
Breakout Identification: It continuously monitors price movements within the session and checks if the current high breaches the ORB high or if the current low breaches the ORB low. These events trigger potential long or short entry signals, respectively.
RVOL Analysis: Simultaneously, the strategy evaluates the relative volume of the asset to gauge the strength of the breakout. A surge in volume accompanying the breakout confirms the validity of the signal. In this case we are looking for at least a 1 value of the division between currentVolume and pastVolume
Entry and Exit Conditions: When a breakout occurs and is confirmed by RVOL and is within our session time, the strategy enters a long or short position accordingly. It does not have a stop loss or a takie profit level, instead it will always exit at the end of the trading session, 5 minutes before
Position Sizing and Commissions: For the purpose of this backtest, the strategy allocated 10% of the capital for each trade and assumes a trading commission of 0.01$ per share ( twice the IBKR broker values)
Session End: At the end of the trading session, the strategy closes all open positions to avoid overnight exposure.
Conclusion:
The combination of ORB breakout strategy, Heikin Ashi candles, and RVOL provides traders with a robust framework for identifying and capitalizing on early trends in the market. By leveraging these technical indicators together, traders can make more informed decisions and improve the overall performance of their trading strategies. However, like any trading strategy, it's essential to backtest thoroughly and adapt the strategy to different market conditions to ensure its effectiveness over time.
Timely Opening Range Breakout Strategy [TORB] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Timely Opening Range Breakout (TORB) indicator builds upon the classic Open Range Breakout (ORB) concept. The ORB strategy is a popular trading setup used to identify trades around the opening range of an asset. It's based on the idea that the first few minutes (15-60 minutes) of trading often set the tone for the rest of the day, with breakouts above or below the opening range signifying potential trends.
TORB refines the concept by stating that a trade is only valid if there is sufficient market activity. This means a breakout beyond the upper or lower range is only of interest during the most active trading hours, as defined by PMMV (Per-Minute Mean Volume)
█ How It Works
ORB
The indicator works by first defining a session's opening range based on user-specified settings, including the session's start and end times and the applicable time zone. During this session, it calculates the high and low price points, which form the basis for identifying potential breakout levels.
PMMV
PMMV (Per-Minute Mean Volume) provides a snapshot of the market's activity level at each minute of the trading day. PMMV is calculated by averaging the trading volume in a one-minute interval over a specified number of trading days. This script uses the average volume over the last N periods to determine the PMMV value. This average volume provides a smoother representation of volume activity compared to using a single volume value. It considers the volume over a broader timeframe, filtering out short-term fluctuations and potentially offering a more reliable indicator of underlying market activity.
TORB
TORB works by integrating the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) highs and lows with the Per-Minute Mean Volume (PMMV) metric to assess the validity of breakouts. The objective is to identify breakouts from the opening high and low levels during periods of heightened market activity, as indicated by PMMV.
█ How to Use
To effectively utilize the Timely Opening Range Breakout (TORB) strategy, follow these steps:
Identify Active Hours: Employ PMMV to pinpoint periods of peak activity within the trading day.
Apply Basic ORB Rules: If the price surpasses the upper range (resistance), buy; if it breaches the lower range (support), sell.
Breakouts
The TORB strategy identifies breakout signals when the price moves beyond the established range, supported by volume exceeding a set threshold. This technique aims to eliminate false signals, focusing on price movements during high market activity.
█ Settings
Session
Trading Session: Customize the trading session's start and end times.
Volume
Volume analysis is integral to the TORB strategy, as it uses volume data to confirm the strength and validity of breakout signals.
Period: Sets the number of periods (or bars) to calculate the average volume, which is then used to assess market activity level.
Sensitivity and Significance: Adjusts how responsive the volume analysis is to changes in trading volume. By adjusting the sensitivity, traders can decide how much emphasis to place on volume spikes, potentially reducing false breakouts and focusing on those supported by significant trading activity.
Breakout Threshold
This setting establishes a criterion to identify when the price movement is significant enough.
Threshold: Traders set a threshold level to identify high market activity. If the PMMV is greater than or equal to this threshold, it indicates significant market activity.
Setting the correct threshold is key to balancing sensitivity and specificity. Too low of a threshold may lead to many false positives, while too high of a threshold might filter out potentially profitable breakouts. This setting helps in pinpointing when market activity indicates a strong move, thereby aligning trade entries with moments of heightened market momentum.

CPR (Central Pivot Range)Central Pivot Range is a trend and volatility forecasting tool. It is calculated from previous session's (day, week, or month) high, low, close values. It works on the idea that every trading session must be the result of its previous trading session.
Pivot, top pivot and bottom pivot values form the CPR. If the CPR for each trading session is getting higher (and also the price is trading above it) then it denotes bullish bias and vice versa for bearish. And the width of the CPR (i.e., distance between top and bottom pivot) denotes the volatility of the session.
If the CPR width is narrow, we can expect a trending or volatile trading session. If it's wide, then we can expect a range bound or sideways trading session.
Support and Resistance levels can be used as a profit booking zone or to add/reduce position sizing.
In this Indicator you have the following:
1. CPR with traditional support and resistance levels (S1-S5 & R1-R5).
2. Developing CPR for next trading day, week, and month.
3. Customizable lookback period, line width.
4. Option to show/hide labels, prices, SR levels, developing CPR.

BB and RSI Indicator Alert v0.3 by JustUncleLI have just recently revised this indicator alert for public release. This is for the 60sec Bollinger Band break Binary Option traders.
This indicator alert is a variation of one found in a well known Broker's marketing videos. It uses Bollinger bands, RSI and moving averages. Included is a pre-warning alert condition. The strategy and settings are designed for 1min charts and Binary Options, but it could work for up to 15 min charts.
The default settings are BB(14,2) and RSI(11) with 75/25 Levels boundaries. To be a valid trade the RSI needs to be within 75/25 channel. The optional Market direction filter is enabled by default and is calculated by two EMA (200 and 50):
When 200ema rising and 50ema above 200ema then market going up.
When 200ema falling and 50ema below 200ema then market going down.
A potential Bollinger Break reversal trades identified by shapes: The purple diamond is the pre-warning purple alert and the green and red pointers with the PUT/CALL labels are the trade alerts. Make Binary Option trade in specified direction 60sec (or can also use 120sec trade without Martingale).
* Notes and Hints *
The original videos specified a Martingale money management strategy, be careful using this management. When I use Martingale I recommend go to 3 levels: 10, 25, 65 if no win at 65 stop trading this alert and start next alert back at 10, you should recovery loss by future wins given you are able to get a reasonable ITM rate with this strategy. Alternatively instead of using Martingale use 120sec Binary Option trade.
Be wary of break alerts on a steep Bollinger, they tend to keep running away for awhile, especially if steep on both sides of Bollinger channel.
As with most of this style of indicator the alert conditions will redraw until the candle is closed. For me this is okay, as it is an Alert is only to a potential trade and final decision to trade is made by me.
You need to practise this and be aware of market news, sessions boundaries, slow trading periods etc. Plan your periods of when you should trade, I prefer Asian session before lunch and London sessions.
Premarket Hi/Lo + Prior Day O/C LevelsPremarket Hi/Lo + Prior Day O/C (today only) shows four clear reference levels for the current regular trading session: the Premarket High and Premarket Low (taken from a user-defined premarket window, 04:00–09:30 by default) and Yesterday’s 09:30 Open and 15:59 Close (sourced from the 1-minute feed for accuracy). The premarket levels “lock” at the opening bell so they don’t move for the rest of the day. All four lines are displayed only during today’s regular hours to keep the chart focused. Small right-edge labels and an optional top-right mini-table show the exact values at a glance.
This indicator is designed to give immediate context without technical jargon. The premarket high/low summarize where price traveled before the bell; the prior-day open/close summarize where the last session began and ended. Checking whether price is above or below these markers helps you quickly judge strength or weakness and anticipate where price may pause, bounce, or break. Typical uses include watching for a clean break and hold above Premarket High (often bullish), a break and hold below Premarket Low (often bearish), drift back toward Prior Day Close after a gap (a common “magnet”), and flips around Prior Day Open that can lead to continuation.
Setup: Turn on Extended Hours in TradingView so premarket bars are visible (Chart Settings → Symbol → Extended Hours). Apply the indicator to any intraday timeframe. In Inputs, you can change the premarket window to match your market, adjust colors and line widths, and toggle the floating labels and the mini-table. Times use the chart’s exchange time (for US stocks, Eastern Time).
Notes and limits: Lines show only for today’s session (default 09:30–16:00). The script looks at the previous calendar day for “prior day,” so values may be empty after weekends or holidays when markets were closed. If your instrument uses different regular hours or you trade futures/crypto, adjust the premarket session in Inputs and—if needed—edit the regular-hours window in code to match. If your data source does not include premarket, the premarket lines will be blank.
Best practice: The first 15–30 minutes after the open are where these levels have the most impact. Reactions are more meaningful when a line aligns with another tool you use (e.g., VWAP or your opening range). If price does not react clearly at a line, avoid forcing a trade.
FlowStateTrader FlowState Trader - Advanced Time-Filtered Strategy
## Overview
FlowState Trader is a sophisticated algorithmic trading strategy that combines precision entry signals with intelligent time-based filtering and adaptive risk management. Built for traders seeking to achieve their optimal performance state, FlowState identifies high-probability trading opportunities within user-defined time windows while employing dynamic trailing stops and partial position management.
## Core Strategy Philosophy
FlowState Trader operates on the principle that peak trading performance occurs when three elements align: **Focus** (precise entry signals), **Flow** (optimal time windows), and **State** (intelligent position management). This strategy excels at finding reversal opportunities at key support and resistance levels while filtering out suboptimal trading periods to keep traders in their optimal flow state.

2. **Profit Preservation**: Trailing stops activate once position becomes profitable
3. **Scaled Exit**: Partial profit-taking allows for both security and potential
### Time-Based Edge
The time filtering system recognizes that not all trading hours are equal:
- Avoids low-volume, high-spread periods
- Focuses on optimal liquidity windows

HTF Supply/Demand: Shows closest high time frame (HTF) supply/demand zone and distance (in pips).
Smart “Flip” & Liquidity Signals: Flip and Liquidity Sweep arrows/signals are shown only when truly significant:
Near HTF Supply/Demand zone
And confirmed by volume spike or high confluence score
Momentum & Bias: Real-time momentum (RSI M1), H1 bias and fakeout detection.
Confluence Score: Objective score (out of 7) for trade confidence.
Volume Spike, Divergence, BOS: Includes volume spikes, RSI divergence (M1), and Break of Structure (BOS) for both M15 & H1.
Ultra-clean chart: Only valid signals/alerts shown; no spam or visual clutter.
Full dashboard with all signals and context, always visible bottom-right.
Best used for:
Forex, Gold/Silver, US indices, and crypto
Scalping/intraday with fast, clear decisions based on multi-factor SMC logic
Usage:
Add to your chart, monitor the dashboard for valid setups, and trade only when multiple factors align for high-probability entries.
How to Use the PRO SMC DASHBOARD
1. Add the Script to Your Chart:
Apply the indicator to your favorite Forex, Gold, crypto, or indices chart (best on M1, M5, or M15 for entries).
2. Read the Dashboard (Bottom Right):
The dashboard shows real-time information from multiple timeframes and key SMC filters, including:
Trend (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4):
Arrows show up (↑) or down (↓) trend for each timeframe, based on EMA.
Momentum (RSI M1):
Shows “Strong Up,” “Strong Down,” or “Neutral” plus the current RSI value.
RSI (H1):
Higher timeframe momentum confirmation.
ATR State:
Indicates current volatility (High, Normal, Low).
Session:
Detects if the market is in London, NY, or Asia session (based on UTC).
HTF S/D Zone:
Shows the nearest high timeframe Supply or Demand zone, its timeframe (M15, H1, H4), and exact pip distance.
Fakeout (last 3):
Detects recent false breakouts—if there are multiple fakeouts, potential for reversal is higher.
FVG (Fair Value Gap):
Indicates direction and distance to the nearest FVG (Above/Below).
Bias:
“Strong Buy,” “Strong Sell,” or “Neutral”—multi-timeframe, momentum, and volatility filtered.
Inducement:
Alerts for possible “stop hunt” or liquidity grab before reversal.
BOS (Break of Structure):
Recent or live breaks of market structure (for both M15 & H1).
Liquidity Sweep:
Shows if price just swept a key high/low and then reversed (often key reversal point).
Confluence Score (0-7):
Higher score means more factors align—look for 5+ for strong setups.
Volume Spike:
“YES” appears if the current volume is significantly above average—big players are active!
RSI Divergence:
Bullish or bearish divergence on M1—signals early reversal risk.
Momentum Flip:
“UP” or “DN” appears if RSI M1 crosses the 50 line, confirmed by location and other filters.
Chart Signals (Arrows & Markers):
Flip arrows (up/down) and Liquidity markers only appear when price is at/near a key Supply/Demand zone and confirmed by either a volume spike or strong confluence.
No signal spam:
If you see an arrow or LIQ tag, it’s a truly significant moment!
Suggested Trading Workflow:
Scan the Dashboard:
Is the multi-timeframe trend aligned?
Are you near a major Supply or Demand zone?
Is the Confluence Score high (5 or more)?
Check for Signals:
Is there a Flip or LIQ marker near a Supply/Demand zone?
Is volume spiking or a fakeout just occurred?
Look for Reversal or Continuation:
If there’s a Flip at Demand (with high confluence), consider a long setup.
If there’s a LIQ sweep + flip + volume at Supply, consider a short.
Manage Risk:
Don’t chase every signal.
Confirm with your entry criteria and preferred session timing.
Pro Tips:
Highest confidence trades:
When dashboard signals and chart arrows/markers agree, especially with high confluence and volume spike.
Adapt pip distance filter:
Dashboard is tuned for FX and gold; for other assets, adjust pip-size filter if needed.
Use alerts (if enabled):
Set up custom TradingView alerts for “Flip” or “Liquidity” signals for auto-notifications.
Designed to help you make professional, objective decisions—without chart clutter or second-guessing!
LANZ Strategy 1.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 1.0 — Session-Based Directional Logic with Visual Multi-Account Risk Management
LANZ Strategy 1.0 is a structured and disciplined trading strategy designed for the 1-hour timeframe, operating during the NY session and executing trades overnight. It uses the directional behavior between 08:00 and 18:00 New York time to define precise limit entries for the following night. Ideal for traders who prefer time-based execution, clear visuals, and professional risk management across multiple accounts.
🧠 Core Components:
1. Session Direction Confirmation:
At 18:00 NY, the system evaluates the market direction by comparing the open at 08:00 vs the close at 18:00:
If the direction matches the previous day, it is reversed.
If it differs, the current day’s direction is kept.
This logic is designed to avoid trend exhaustion and favor potential reversal opportunities.
2. EP Level & Risk Definition:
Once direction is defined:
For BUY, EP is set at the Low of the session.
For SELL, EP is set at the High of the session.
The system automatically plots:
SL fixed at 18 pips from EP
TP at 3.00× the risk → 54 pips from EP
All levels (EP, SL, TP) are shown with visual lines and price labels.
3. Time-Restricted Entry Execution:
The entry is only valid if price touches the EP between 19:00 and 08:00 NY.
If EP is not touched before 08:00 NY, the trade is automatically cancelled.
4. Multi-Account Lot Sizing:
Traders can configure up to five different accounts, each with its own capital and risk percentage.
The system calculates and displays the lot size per account, based on SL distance and pip value, in a dynamic floating label.
5. Outcome Tracking:
If TP is hit, a +3.00% profit label is displayed along with a congratulatory alert.
If SL is hit, a -1.00% label appears with a loss alert.
If the trade is still open by 09:00 NY, it is manually closed, and the result is shown as a percentage of the initial risk.
📊 Visual Features:
Custom-colored angle and guide lines.
Dynamic angle line starts at 08:00 NY and tracks price until 18:00.
Shaded backgrounds for key time zones (e.g., 08:00, 18:00, 19:00).
BUY/SELL signals shown at 19:00 based on match/divergence logic.
Label panel showing risk metrics and lot size for each active account.
⚙️ How It Works:
08:00 NY: Marks the session open and initiates a dynamic angle line.
18:00 NY: Evaluates the session direction and calculates EP/SL/TP based on outcome.
19:00 NY: Activates limit order monitoring.
During the night (until 08:00 NY): If EP is touched, the trade is triggered.
At 08:00 NY: If no touch occurred, trade is cancelled.
Overnight: TP/SL logic is enforced, showing percentage outcomes.
At 09:00 NY: If still open, trade is closed manually and result is labeled visually.
🔔 Alerts:
🚀 EP execution alert when touched
💢 Stop Loss hit alert
⚡ Take Profit hit alert
✅ Manual close at 09:00 NY with performance result
🔔 Daily reminder at 19:00 NY to configure and prepare the trade
📝 Notes:
Strategy is exclusive to the 1-hour timeframe.
Works best on assets with clean NY session movement.
Perfect for structured, semi-automated swing/overnight trading styles.
Fully visual, self-explanatory, and backtest-friendly.

Initial balance - weeklyWeekly Initial Balance (IB) — Indicator Description
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) is the price range (High–Low) established during the week’s first trading session (most commonly Monday). You can measure it over the entire day or just the first X hours (e.g. 60 or 120 minutes). Once that session ends, the IB High and IB Low define the key levels where the initial weekly range formed.
Why Measure the Weekly IB?
Week-Opening Sentiment:
Monday’s range often sets the tone for the rest of the week. Trading above the IB High signals bullish control; trading below the IB Low signals bearish control.
Key Liquidity Zones:
Large institutions tend to place orders around these extremes, so you’ll frequently see tests, breakouts, or rejections at these levels.
Support & Resistance:
The IB High and IB Low become natural barriers. Price will often return to them, bounce off them, or break through them—ideal spots for entries and exits.
Volatility Forecast:
The width of the IB (High minus Low) indicates whether to expect a volatile week (wide IB) or a quieter one (narrow IB).
Significance of IB Levels
Breakout:
A clear break above the IB High (for longs) or below the IB Low (for shorts) can ignite a strong trending move.
Fade:
A rejection off the IB High/Low during low momentum (e.g. low volume or pin-bar formations) offers a high-probability reversal trade.
Mid-Point:
The 50% level of the IB range often “magnetizes” price back to it, providing entry points for continuation or reversal strategies.
Three Core Monday IB Strategies
A. Breakout (Open-Range Breakout)
Entry: Wait for 1–2 candles (e.g. 5-minute) to close above IB High (long) or below IB Low (short).
Stop-Loss: A few pips below IB High (long) or above IB Low (short).
Profit-Target: 2–3× your risk (Reward:Risk ≥ 2:1).
Best When: You spot a clear impulse—such as a strong pre-open volume spike or news-driven move.
B. Fade (Reversal at Extremes)
Entry: When price tests IB High but shows weakening momentum (shrinking volume, upper-wick candles), enter short; vice versa for IB Low and longs.
Stop-Loss: Just beyond the IB extreme you’re fading.
Profit-Target: Back toward the IB mid-point (50% level) or all the way to the opposite IB extreme.
Best When: Monday’s action is range-bound and lacks a clear directional trend.
C. Mid-Point Trading
Entry: When price returns to the 50% level of the IB range.
In an up-trend: buy if it bounces off mid-point back toward IB High.
In a down-trend: sell if it reverses off mid-point back toward IB Low.
Stop-Loss: Just below the nearest swing-low (for longs) or above the nearest swing-high (for shorts).
Profit-Target: To the corresponding IB extreme (High or Low).
Best When: You see a strong initial move away from the IB, followed by a pullback to the mid-point.
Usage Steps
Configure your session: Measure IB over your chosen Monday timeframe (whole day or first X hours).
Choose your strategy: Align Breakout, Fade, or Mid-Point entries with the current market context (trend vs. range).
Manage risk: Keep risk per trade ≤ 1% of account and maintain at least a 2:1 Reward:Risk ratio.
Backtest & forward-test: Verify performance over multiple Mondays and in a paper-trading environment before going live.
Advanced Volume Profile Levels (Working)This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use volume profile analysis to identify significant price levels. It automatically calculates and plots the three most critical levels derived from volume data—the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—for three different timeframes simultaneously: the previous week, the previous day, and the current, live session.
The primary focus of this indicator is unmatched readability. It features dynamic, floating labels that stay clear of price action, combined with a high-contrast design to ensure you can see these crucial levels at a glance without any visual clutter.
Key Features
Multi-Session Analysis: Gain a complete market perspective by viewing levels from different timeframes on a single chart.
Weekly Levels: Identify the long-term areas of value and control from the prior week's trading activity.
Daily Levels: Pinpoint the most significant levels from the previous day's Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
Current Session Levels: Track the developing value area and POC in real-time with a dynamic profile that updates with every bar.
Advanced Visuals for Clarity:
Floating Labels: The labels for the weekly and daily levels intelligently "float" on the right side of your chart, moving with the price to ensure they are never obscured by candles.
High-Contrast Design: Labels are designed for maximum readability with solid, opaque backgrounds and an automatic text color (black or white) that provides the best contrast against your chosen level color.
Trailing Current Levels: The labels for the current session neatly trail the most recent price action, providing an intuitive view of intra-day developments.
Comprehensive Customization: Tailor the indicator's appearance to your exact preferences.
Toggle each profile (Weekly, Daily, Current) on or off.
Individually set the color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and line width for each set of levels.
Adjust the text size, background transparency, and horizontal offset for all on-chart labels.
Information Hub:
On-Chart Price Labels: Each label clearly displays both the level name and its precise price (e.g., "D-POC: 22068.50").
Corner Table: An optional, clean table in the top-right corner provides a quick summary of all active weekly and daily level values.
Built-in Alerts:
Create alerts directly from the script to be notified whenever the price crosses above or below the weekly or daily Point of Control, helping you stay on top of key market movements.
How to Use
The levels provided by this indicator serve as powerful reference points for market activity:
Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest traded volume. It acts as a magnet for price and represents the area of "fair value" for that session. Markets often test or revert to the POC.
Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL): These levels define the range where approximately 70% of the session's volume occurred. They are critical support and resistance zones.
Price acceptance above the VAH may signal a bullish breakout.
Price acceptance below the VAL may signal a bearish breakdown.
Rejection at the VAH or VAL often leads to price moving back across the value area towards the POC.

LANZ Strategy 2.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 2.0 — Structural Breakout Logic with Dynamic Swing Protection
LANZ Strategy 2.0 is a precision-focused backtesting system built for intraday traders who rely on structural confirmations before the London session to guide directional bias. This tool uses smart swing detection, risk-defined position sizing, and strict time-based execution to simulate real trading conditions with clarity and control.
🧠 Core Components:
Structural Confirmation (Trend & BoS): Detects trend direction and break of structure (BoS) using a three-swing logic, aligning trade entries with valid structural movement.
Time-Based Execution: Trades are triggered exclusively at 02:00 a.m. New York time, ensuring disciplined and repeatable intraday testing.
Swing-Based SL Models: Traders can select between three stop-loss protection types:
First Swing: Most recent structural level
Second Swing: Prior level
Full Coverage: All recent swing levels + configurable pip buffer
Dynamic TP Calculation: Take-Profit is projected as a risk-based multiple (RR), fully adjustable via input.
Capital-Based Risk Management: Risk is defined as a percentage of a fixed account size (e.g., $100 per trade from $10,000), and lot size is automatically calculated based on SL distance.
Fallback Entry Logic: If structural breakout is present but trend is not confirmed, a secondary entry is triggered.
End-of-Session Management: Any open trades are automatically closed at 11:45 a.m. NY time, with optional manual labeling or review.
📊 Visual Features (Optional in Indicator Version):
(Note: Visuals apply to the indicator version of LANZ 2.0, not this backtest script)
Swing level labels (1st, 2nd) and dynamic SL/TP lines.
Real-time session coloring for clarity: Pre-London, Entry Window, and NY Close.
Outcome labels: +RR, -RR, or net % at close.
Auto-cleanup of previous drawings for a clean chart per session.
⚙️ How It Works:
Detects last trend and BoS using swing logic before 02:00 a.m. NY.
At 02:00 a.m., evaluates directional bias and executes BUY or SELL if confirmed.
Applies selected SL logic (1st, 2nd, or full swing protection).
Sets TP based on the RR multiplier.
Closes the trade either on SL, TP, or at 11:45 a.m. NY manually.
🔔 Alerts:
Time-of-day alert at 02:00 a.m. NY to monitor execution.
Can be extended to cover SL/TP triggers or new BoS events.
📝 Notes:
Designed for backtesting precision and discretionary decision-making.
Ideal for Forex pairs, indices, or assets active during the London session.
Fully customizable: session timing, swing logic, SL buffer, and RR.

Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters

📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.
