Auric Reference Crucible [JOAT]Auric Reference Crucible
Introduction
Auric Reference Crucible is an open-source reference-price state engine. It tracks daily open, weekly open, monthly open, and previous close, then classifies how price behaves around each anchor.
The indicator is built for traders who use opening prices and prior closes as decision levels but want a structured way to separate untouched levels, tests, reclaims, rejections, and active control.
Core Concepts
1. Multi-Timeframe Reference Anchors
Daily, weekly, and monthly opens are tracked as higher-timeframe anchors. Previous close is tracked separately. Each reference can be enabled or disabled.
2. Anchor State Classification
Each reference is classified by interaction state: untouched, touched, tested, reclaimed, rejected, or active control. This creates a state machine instead of a static horizontal-line tool.
3. ATR Touch and Reaction Bands
ATR defines touch distance and reaction band thickness so levels adapt to each symbol's current volatility.
4. Control Score
The script scores anchors using state, distance, pressure, and reaction behavior. The strongest anchor becomes the active control reference.
5. Reclaim and Reject Execution Zones
When the active reference and confirmation logic agree, the script can draw compact long or short execution rails with entry, stop, TP1, and TP2.
Features
Daily, weekly, monthly, and previous close references: Core anchors used for session and swing context.
Reference state machine: Tracks touch, test, reclaim, and reject behavior.
Dominant control anchor: Scores references so the most relevant level is emphasized.
ATR reaction bands: Volatility-adjusted zones around active references.
Confirmed state changes: Optional confirmed-bar logic reduces intrabar repaint risk.
Execution rails: Optional long/short plans with stop and target references.
Fade untouched anchors: Keeps inactive references less visually dominant.
Dashboard: Shows anchor state, bias, and control information.
Alerts: Anchor touch, reclaim, reject, long crucible, and short crucible.
Input Parameters
References: Show Daily Open, Show Weekly Open, Show Monthly Open, Show Previous Close.
Signals: Touch Zone ATR, Reaction Band ATR, Reclaim Confirmation Bars, Wick Rejection Multiple, Confirmed-Bar State Changes.
Execution and Visuals: Trend Filter EMA, Pressure Window, Minimum Control Score, Stop ATR, TP1 R, TP2 R, Execution Cooldown Bars, Stored Setup Zones, Reaction Bands, Dashboard, Execution Rails, Signal Zones, Reference Price Tags.
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the active reference
Start with the dashboard. It shows which anchor is currently most relevant and whether price is treating that anchor as bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Step 2: Watch reclaim and reject states
A reclaim means price moved back through a reference with confirmation. A reject means price tested the area and failed to hold through it.
Step 3: Use execution rails after confirmation
When a long or short crucible appears, use the plotted entry, stop, and target references as a structured review plan.
Indicator Limitations
Higher-timeframe opens update according to exchange/session boundaries.
Reference levels are context zones, not automatic entries.
ATR bands widen during volatility expansion and narrow during quiet periods.
Confirmed-bar mode means some state changes appear after the bar closes.
Originality Statement
Auric Reference Crucible is original in its reference-state approach. It does not simply plot opens and closes; it classifies anchor behavior, scores active control, adapts reaction zones with ATR, and optionally converts confirmed reclaim/reject behavior into structured execution rails.

Precision Progressive ORB# Precision Progressive ORB (PORB)
A different approach to the Opening Range Breakout: instead of waiting for the full ORB window to complete before drawing anything, PORB builds the range progressively using smaller sub-boxes that develop live during the auction. You can watch the opening range form in real time rather than staring at empty space until the ORB completes.
> 🖼️ ** **
> *Above: a 45-minute ORB built progressively from nine 5-minute sub-boxes. Each sub-box shows where price was leaning during its window — red borders for holding low, green for holding high, white for neutral rotation. The dotted line is the live midpoint tracking the running aggregate. The status table on the right tracks state and classification in real time.*
---
## The problem this solves
A standard 15-minute ORB script draws nothing until 15 minutes have passed. On fast-moving small caps, the trade is often half over by the time the box appears. PORB shows you what's happening *inside* those 15 minutes by breaking them into smaller development windows — for example, three 5-minute sub-boxes that build the full ORB. You see the opening auction develop in stages instead of all at once.
---
## Quick setup
Default settings work out of the box for US stocks:
- **Timezone:** Exchange (auto-detects from the symbol)
- **Start time:** 9:30 (matches NYSE/NASDAQ market open via the Exchange timezone)
- **ORB duration:** 15 minutes
- **Sub-box duration:** 5 minutes (three sub-boxes per ORB)
**Important about timezone:** the Hour and Minute inputs are interpreted in the selected Timezone. With the default "Exchange" setting, 9:30 means 9:30 AM in the symbol's home exchange — Eastern Time for NASDAQ/NYSE, Central European Time for DAX, JST for Nikkei, etc. If you want to anchor to a non-native session (trading EUR/USD on the London FX open from a US chart, for example), pick a specific timezone from the dropdown — DST is handled automatically.
If you pick a sub-box duration that doesn't divide the ORB evenly (e.g., 15 / 7), PORB auto-snaps to the nearest valid divisor and shows a one-time notice.
---
## How it works
During the ORB window:
- Sub-boxes draw live, one at a time
- Two display modes: **Rolling** (only the current sub-box visible) or **Show All** (every sub-box stays visible through completion)
- Internally, PORB tracks the aggregate high/low across the entire ORB window — that's the real range being built
When the ORB completes:
- All sub-boxes sweep away (development is done)
- The final aggregate high/low locks in
- A bordered final box anchors the locked structure to its origin time
- High/low lines, midpoint, and optional buffer lines extend right for ongoing reference
> 🖼️ ** **
> *Above: the same auction after the ORB locks. Sub-boxes are gone — the chart transitions from "watching the auction form" to "trading the resulting structure." The locked box, ORB high/low lines, and midpoint extend right as structural reference for the rest of the session.*
---
## Two display modes
**Show All Sub-Boxes** (the hero image at the top) keeps every completed sub-box visible through the ORB window, so you can see the full development sequence as it builds.
**Rolling Sub-Box Only** shows just the current developing sub-box — only one box visible at any time, moving forward as each new window begins. Less visual weight, more focus on the active auction phase.
> 🖼️ ** **
> *Above: PORB in rolling mode. Only the currently developing sub-box is drawn — prior sub-boxes disappear as new ones begin. Cleaner look for traders who want minimal chart clutter while still watching the auction form live.*
---
## Visual language
Two clean channels, two distinct concepts:
**Sub-box border = position lean**
- Silver — close in the middle third of the developing range
- Green — close in the upper third (holding high)
- Red — close in the lower third (holding low)
**Sub-box fill = movement energy**
Progressive green/red shading reflects the relative strength of each sub-box move. Fills stay light — atmospheric tint, not solid overlay — so candles and other indicators remain clearly readable. The fill thresholds adapt to the symbol's volatility regime so a sleepy Large cap doesn't need the same magnitude as a volatile small cap to show energy.
**Final box** I'm using a cyan border with a faint neutral fill — a structural anchor for the locked range. The color can be changed based on your preferred canvas color.
**Live midpoint** (optional, on by default): a dotted line tracking the running aggregate midpoint during build. Provisional by design — it shifts as the range develops. Replaced by the locked dashed midpoint when the ORB completes.
---
## Classification table
A 4-column status table tracks live state:
| State | Development | ORB High | ORB Low |
|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
The Development column shifts meaning by phase:
- **During build:** range classification — `Forming`, `Inside`, `Expanding`, `Compressing`, or `Stable`. Compares the current sub-box's range to the prior sub-box's range, with a tolerance threshold to avoid flickering on small differences.
- **After lock:** position classification — `Above Range`, `Upper Range`, `Mid Range`, `Lower Range`, or `Below Range`. Tells you where price sits relative to the locked structure, including whether it's broken out above or below.
---
## Buffer lines (optional, off by default)
Toggleable dotted lines just outside the locked ORB high and low. Sized by ticks, ATR multiple, or percent — your choice. These give you a "you actually broke this, not just kissed it" reference for traders who want a visual cushion against wick-pokes and liquidity sweeps.
---
## What this is and isn't
PORB is a structural visualization tool. It does not generate buy/sell signals, fire alerts, or recommend trades. It shows you the opening auction's development in a way that pure-completion ORB scripts can't, and gives you a clean structural reference once the range locks. How you use that information is up to you.
Best suited for:
- Active intraday traders working opening-range setups
- Anyone watching fast-moving instruments where the first 5–15 minutes carry most of the move
- Traders who want to see auction structure form rather than waiting for the result
**Note on viewing:** sub-boxes draw live during the ORB build phase. If you load PORB onto a chart after the ORB has already completed for the day, you'll only see the final locked structure — sub-boxes are part of the live development view, not a historical replay. To see sub-boxes in action, watch the next ORB window form in real time, or set the start time to the upcoming session.

Meridian Session Cartography [JOAT]Meridian Session Cartography
Introduction
Meridian Session Cartography is an open-source session-structure overlay designed to map intraday market geography through Asia, London, New York, and one fully custom session. The indicator tracks each session's developing high, low, open, midpoint, previous-day references, and confirmed liquidity sweeps, then organizes those references into a clean institutional chart layout.
The problem Meridian solves is session context. Many intraday decisions fail not because the setup is invalid, but because the trader is reading a local move without understanding which session created the range, where the day is trading relative to prior-day references, and whether liquidity has already been swept. Meridian turns that information into a persistent map.
Core Concepts
1. Timezone-Safe Session Tracking
Each session is evaluated through explicit session windows and a user-selected timezone, allowing the script to adapt to regional workflows without hard-coding exchange assumptions.
f_inSession(string sess, string tz) =>
not na(time(timeframe.period, sess, tz))
2. Session Range Construction
Every active session continuously updates its high, low, midpoint, and opening price. These references remain actionable because they are tied to actual session development instead of static preset levels.
3. Previous-Day Reference Logic
Previous-day high, low, open, and close are requested from the daily context using non-lookahead calls. These levels frame the broader day structure around which the active session range is operating.
4. Confirmed Sweep Detection
The indicator identifies confirmed buy-side and sell-side sweeps around tracked extremes, helping the user recognize when a session has already consumed nearby liquidity.
5. Managed Object Layout
Boxes, lines, and labels are retained through capped arrays and automatically cleaned to avoid chart clutter and object-budget drift.
Features
Four configurable session blocks: Asia, London, New York, and one custom session
Range geometry: High, low, midpoint, and opening references for each session
Previous-day levels: Prior day high, low, open, and close included in the same framework
Confirmed sweep logic: Liquidity sweep status updates only after bar confirmation
Reference-level extension: Session levels can project forward for practical intraday use
Chart-cleaning controls: Managed limits for labels, boxes, and lines
Top-right dashboard: Active session, day range, sweep status, and nearest level are summarized continuously
Input Parameters
Core:
Timezone
Active Days To Retain
Level Extend Bars
Max Session Objects
Per-Session Blocks:
Show Session toggle
Session window
Bull and bear colors
Range fill color
Levels and Display:
Show Previous Day Levels
Show Opens
Show Midpoints
Show Range Zones
Show Sweep Labels
Show Candle Tint
Dashboard position and size
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the active session
Use the dashboard to confirm which session currently governs price. This gives immediate context for interpreting local range behavior.
Step 2: Compare the active session to the day
Check the relationship between the active session range and previous-day high/low. This helps distinguish local noise from meaningful day-level expansion.
Step 3: Monitor midpoint and open behavior
Session midpoints and opens often act as practical mean-reversion or continuation checkpoints during intraday trading.
Step 4: Watch sweep status before fading or chasing
If the session has already swept one side of liquidity, that changes the quality of any breakout or reversal idea built near the same reference.
Indicator Limitations
Session-based indicators are highly sensitive to the chosen timezone and should be configured intentionally
Sweep detection confirms after the bar closes, which is deliberate non-repainting behavior
Very low-liquidity markets can produce irregular session geometry
The script maps context and liquidity behavior; it does not generate full trade plans by itself
Originality Statement
Meridian Session Cartography is original in the way it combines timezone-safe multi-session mapping, previous-day references, midpoint and open logic, confirmed sweep detection, and managed chart-object cleanup into one publication-ready intraday overlay. It is not a simple session shading script or a basic high/low plotter.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Session levels and sweep readings are contextual tools and can fail in volatile or atypical conditions. Trading involves risk, including the risk of loss.

Session Levels IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
🔹 Session Levels IQ
Session Levels IQ is a session-based percentage grid tool designed to map how far price typically travels away from each session open.
Instead of treating a session as a simple open-high-low-close range, this tool builds a structured level framework around the session open and tracks which distances tend to get reached, how often they get reached, and what price typically does after touching them .
Think of it as a way to study session expansion behavior around the open .
This indicator records historical observations to show what typically happens.
It’s not a strict probability model, but more of a history book of past behavior.
session-based percentage levels built outward from the open
custom session or timeframe-based session construction
hit-rate tracking for each distance level
typical move-after-hit measurement
normal vs unusual level zoning
optional coloring by historical hit rate or move-after-hit
reference price line for inspecting post-hit behavior
🔹 What the tool shows
🔸 Session-centered level grid
Each session begins from its opening price, and the script builds levels outward in configurable percentage intervals.
This creates a structured grid above and below the session open, helping you visualize how price expands relative to where the session started.
This helps reveal:
how far price tends to travel from the session open
which percentage distances are reached most often
how session expansion behaves over time
🔸 Historical hit rate by level
The script tracks whether each percentage level gets touched across completed sessions.
Over time, this produces a running statistical view of how often price reaches specific distances from the open.
This allows you to observe:
which distances are commonly reached
which distances are less typical
where session expansion begins to become unusual
🔸 Typical move after hit
In addition to tracking whether a level is reached, the script also records what price typically does after touching that level.
For levels that get hit, it measures the median follow-through after contact.
This helps show:
whether certain levels tend to lead to larger continuation
whether some levels produce relatively small follow-through
how post-hit behavior differs across the grid
This is not just about whether price gets somewhere.
It is also about what tends to happen once it gets there .
🔸 Normal vs unusual zones
A configurable normal range defines which distances from the open are considered relatively typical and which fall outside that range.
Levels inside this zone are treated as normal, while levels beyond it are treated as more unusual.
This helps identify:
common session movement areas
stretched or less typical expansion zones
where price is trading beyond its more ordinary session behavior
🔸 Level coloring modes
The script can visually color levels in different ways depending on what you want to study.
Available modes include:
By Hit Chance
By Move After
None
With hit-chance coloring, levels are shaded based on how frequently they are reached.
With move-after coloring, levels are shaded based on the magnitude of the typical move after price touches them.
This makes it easier to spot:
frequently reached levels
less common extension areas
levels associated with larger follow-through
🔸 Custom session support
You can build the framework using either:
a standard session timeframe such as 1D
a fully custom intraday session window
This makes the tool flexible for traders who want to study:
daily opens
custom market sessions
specific trading windows
🔸 Whole-number level emphasis
The script can optionally emphasize whole-number percentage distances so that major percentage thresholds stand out more clearly on the chart.
This can help when you want to quickly distinguish:
major percentage levels
minor intermediate levels
cleaner structural reference points
🔸 Reference price line
An optional draggable reference line lets you place a price directly onto a level and inspect the typical move after that level is hit.
This gives you a visual way to explore:
how levels behave after being reached
which zones tend to continue further
which levels show more limited follow-through
This feature is best viewed as exploratory context , not as a standalone signal.
🔸 Session range box
The script can also draw a box around the current session’s working range, helping frame the active expansion area as the session develops.
This gives additional context for:
the current session’s high-to-low development
where the grid sits relative to the active range
how much of the session’s expansion has already formed
🔹 How to read it
Each component provides a different layer of session information:
Session open → anchor point for the grid
Percentage levels → structured expansion distances from the open
Hit chance → how often a level gets reached across sessions
Move after hit → typical follow-through once a level is touched
Normal range → common vs unusual expansion territory
Reference line → exploratory view of post-hit behavior
🔹 Why this tool is useful
It gives you:
a structured way to study session expansion around the open
historical context for which distances are commonly reached
visibility into which extensions are relatively unusual
insight into what price typically does after contacting a level
a contextual framework for session movement analysis
🔹 Best use cases
studying how far sessions typically expand from the open
identifying common vs stretched extension zones
comparing likely and unlikely distance levels
adding structure to open-based session analysis
exploring how price tends to behave after touching key percentage levels
🔹 Important note
This tool is based on historical session behavior and percentage-distance tracking.
That means:
it is descriptive, not predictive certainty
results depend on the instrument and timeframe being analyzed
smaller level spacing creates more detail, but also more density
typical move-after-hit is informational and should not be treated too literally
🔹 Inputs you can customize
The script includes flexible controls such as:
custom session toggle
custom session time
session timeframe
level spacing percentage
normal range percentage
label detail level
label size
label side
show all stored levels
whole-number level emphasis
session range box display
level coloring mode
reference price line
Closing Notes
Session Levels IQ is built to shift the focus from simply asking where price is now to asking how far price has historically tended to travel from a session open, how often those levels are reached, and what usually happens after contact .
It helps turn session expansion into a more structured and measurable framework , so you can view open-based movement with more context than raw candles alone.
Thank you for checking it out and thank you TradingView!

Meridian Zones [JOAT]Meridian Zones
Introduction
Meridian Zones is an advanced open-source session analysis engine built for traders who structure their trading around the Asia, London, and New York sessions. Unlike typical session indicators that clutter the chart with dozens of lines and levels, Meridian Zones takes a deliberately clean approach: session boxes, killzone backgrounds, session-colored candles, and precise liquidity sweep labels live on the chart, while all analytical depth lives in a fully-populated 15-row dashboard. The result is a chart that remains readable at any zoom level while giving you institutional-grade session intelligence at a glance.
The indicator tracks session ranges, calculates session VWAP, monitors volume distribution across sessions, detects liquidity sweeps with wick filtering and cooldown logic, flags volume spikes, grades institutional candles, and reports previous day high/low positioning — all without drawing a single horizontal line on the chart.
Why This Indicator Exists
Session-based trading is a cornerstone of institutional methodology. The Asia session establishes a range, London often breaks that range with directional intent, and New York either continues or reverses the London move. Understanding which session is dominant, where sweeps occur, and how volume distributes across sessions gives traders a significant edge.
Most session indicators fall into two traps: either they are too simple (just drawing boxes) or too cluttered (drawing session highs, lows, midpoints, opens, VWAP lines, and previous session levels all on the chart simultaneously). Meridian Zones avoids both by:
Drawing only the essential visual elements on the chart — session range boxes, killzone background shading, and labeled signals
Moving all analytical data into a comprehensive dashboard where it can be read without visual noise
Adding features that most session indicators lack entirely: session VWAP calculation, volume-weighted session dominance, institutional candle detection within sessions, and precise liquidity sweep identification with ATR-based wick filtering
Core Session Engine
Sessions are defined by UTC hour ranges (all configurable):
Asia: 00:00 - 08:00 UTC (default)
London: 08:00 - 16:00 UTC (default)
New York: 13:00 - 21:00 UTC (default)
The indicator detects session opens and closes, tracks high/low/volume/VWAP within each session, and draws range boxes when sessions close. A timeframe filter ensures the indicator only displays on charts where session analysis is meaningful (up to 4H by default).
Session overlap (London + NY) is automatically detected and reported in the dashboard, as overlap periods often produce the highest-volume, most directional moves of the day.
Session Tracking and Analytics
For each session, the indicator calculates and tracks:
Session Range: High and low of the session, displayed as a colored box
Session VWAP: Volume-weighted average price calculated from session open, updated every bar. This is the true institutional fair value for the session — not a simple midpoint
Session Momentum: The ratio of bullish candles to total candles within the session, giving a quick read on directional bias
Session Volume: Total volume accumulated during the session, used for dominance and volume leader calculations
Session Open/Close Prices: Used to determine session bias (bullish if close > open, bearish if close < open)
Liquidity Sweep Detection
One of the most valuable features is the precise liquidity sweep detector. A sweep occurs when price wicks beyond a session high or low and closes back inside — this is institutional stop hunting.
The sweep detector uses two filters to avoid false signals:
ATR Wick Filter: The wick beyond the session level must exceed a configurable ATR multiple (default 0.4x ATR). This eliminates tiny wicks that barely touch the level.
Cooldown Timer: After a sweep is detected, no new sweep can fire for a configurable number of bars (default 8). This prevents multiple labels from stacking on the same sweep event.
Sweep labels are color-coded: bullish sweeps (wicking below and closing above) in teal, bearish sweeps (wicking above and closing below) in rose.
Volume Spike Detection
When volume exceeds the session's average volume by a configurable multiplier (default 2.0x), a volume spike flag appears. Volume spikes during sessions often coincide with institutional order execution and can confirm the validity of a sweep or directional move.
Institutional Candle Labels
Candles with a body-to-range ratio exceeding the threshold (default 75%) are flagged as institutional candles. These are large-bodied, low-wick candles that indicate strong directional conviction — the kind of candles that institutions create when executing large orders.
Session-Colored Candles
When enabled, candles are tinted by the active session: gold for Asia, blue for London, rose for New York. This provides an instant visual reference for which session produced each candle, making it easy to see session transitions and overlap periods on the chart.
15-Row Dashboard
The dashboard is the analytical heart of the indicator. Every cell is populated — no empty rows. It displays:
Row 1: Active Session — Which session is currently active, or "OFF" between sessions
Row 2: Overlap Status — Whether London and NY are overlapping
Row 3-5: Session Ranges — Asia, London, and NY ranges in price with pip/point size
Row 6-8: Session Bias — Bullish/Bearish for each session based on open vs close
Row 9: Dominance — Which session has the largest range (the "dominant" session)
Row 10: Volume Leader — Which session has the highest total volume
Row 11: VWAP Position — Whether current price is above or below the active session's VWAP
Row 12: Range/ATR — Current session range as a multiple of ATR (shows how extended the session is)
Row 13: PDH/PDL — Previous Day High and Low with current price position relative to them
Row 14: Candle Quality — Current candle's body ratio and institutional grade
Row 15: Sweep Radar — Most recent sweep direction and how many bars ago it occurred
Input Parameters
Session Definitions (UTC):
Asia Start/End Hour (default 0/8)
London Start/End Hour (default 8/16)
NY Start/End Hour (default 13/21)
Features:
Show Session Boxes, Killzone Background, Session-Colored Candles, Session Open Markers
Show Liquidity Sweeps, Volume Spike Markers, Institutional Candle Labels, Dashboard
Sessions to Keep (default 3) — how many past session boxes remain on chart
Sweep Min Wick ATR multiplier (default 0.4), Sweep Cooldown bars (default 8)
Volume Spike Multiplier (default 2.0), Institutional Candle Body % (default 75%)
Timeframe Filter:
Show Up To (default 4H) — prevents the indicator from displaying on higher timeframes where session analysis is not meaningful
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the Dominant Session
Check the dashboard for which session has the largest range and highest volume. The dominant session sets the directional tone for the day.
Step 2: Watch for Asia Range Breaks
London often breaks the Asia range. When London's first move sweeps the Asia high or low, the sweep label confirms the liquidity grab. The direction of the break often sets the trend for the day.
Step 3: Monitor Overlap Period
The London-NY overlap (typically 13:00-16:00 UTC) produces the highest volume and most decisive moves. Volume spikes during overlap are particularly significant.
Step 4: Use VWAP Position for Bias
If price is above the session VWAP, institutional flow is net bullish for that session. Below VWAP, net bearish. The dashboard shows this in real-time.
Step 5: Confirm with Institutional Candles
When a sweep occurs and is followed by an institutional candle (large body, high volume), the move has strong institutional backing.
Step 6: Reference PDH/PDL
Previous Day High and Low are key institutional levels. The dashboard shows whether price is above PDH (bullish), below PDL (bearish), or between them (range-bound).
Limitations
Session analysis is most relevant on intraday timeframes (1m to 4H). The timeframe filter prevents display on higher timeframes, but users should understand that session dynamics are inherently intraday concepts.
UTC-based session times may need adjustment for instruments that trade in different time zones or have non-standard trading hours.
Volume data quality varies by instrument. Forex volume on TradingView is tick volume, which approximates but does not equal true institutional volume.
Session VWAP resets at each session open. It is not a continuous daily VWAP.
Sweep detection relies on wick analysis, which can produce false signals in extremely volatile or illiquid conditions.
The indicator shows session dynamics, not price predictions. A bullish session bias does not guarantee price will continue higher.
Originality Statement
This indicator is original in its clean-chart, dashboard-heavy approach to session analysis. While session boxes and killzone backgrounds exist in other indicators, this indicator is justified because:
It deliberately separates visual elements (chart) from analytical data (dashboard), solving the clutter problem that plagues most session indicators
Session VWAP calculation per session provides institutional fair value that simple midpoint calculations cannot match
The liquidity sweep detector uses dual filtering (ATR wick threshold + cooldown timer) for precision that basic "price crossed level" detection lacks
Volume-weighted session dominance and volume leader tracking provide insights into which session is driving the market — information not available in standard session indicators
Institutional candle grading within sessions identifies the specific candles where large orders were executed
The 15-row dashboard presents all session analytics simultaneously with zero empty cells, creating a true session command center
The combination of session boxes, sweep detection, volume spikes, institutional candle grading, and comprehensive analytics in a single clean-chart indicator is not available in existing public scripts
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
Session analysis reveals historical patterns in how different trading sessions behave. Past session patterns do not guarantee future session behavior. Market conditions, news events, and institutional positioning can cause sessions to behave atypically at any time.
Always use proper risk management. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. The author is not responsible for any losses incurred from using this indicator.

Session Opening Bar RangeSession Opening Bar Range (OBR) - Advanced Opening Range Indicator with Statistical Analysis
Overview
The Session First Bar Range (FBR) indicator is a comprehensive tool that captures and projects key levels based on the first bar of a user-defined trading session. Unlike traditional daily opening range indicators, this script allows traders to focus on specific session windows (New York RTH, London, Asia, etc.) and analyze price behavior relative to the initial momentum established in that session's opening bar.
What makes this indicator unique is its combination of three distinct projection methodologies: statistical analysis based on historical range data, Fibonacci extensions, and fixed-point rotation levels commonly used by institutional traders. To our knowledge, this is the only opening range indicator that incorporates statistical standard deviation levels calculated from historical first bar ranges, making it both a technical and probabilistic tool.
Core Concept
The opening range concept is based on the principle that the initial price action of a trading session often sets the tone for the remainder of that session.
Professional traders have long observed that:
The first bar's high and low act as key reference points
Price often respects or breaks these levels with significance
Expansion beyond the opening range tends to occur in measurable increments
This indicator takes these observations and enhances them with:
Historical probability analysis - "Based on the last 60 sessions, price typically extends X standard deviations beyond the opening range"
Proportional projections - Fibonacci-based extensions showing where measured moves typically target
Fixed-point rotations - Institutional rotation levels (e.g., 65 points for NQ, 15 points for ES)
How It Works
Session Detection & First Bar Capture
The indicator uses Pine Script's time() function with timezone support to precisely detect when a trading session begins. When the first bar of the selected timeframe occurs within the session window, the script captures:
High (H): The high of the first bar
Low (L): The low of the first bar
Mid (M): The midpoint (hl2) of the first bar
Critical Detail: These levels are fixed from the first bar only - they do not update as the session progresses. This differs from many "opening range" indicators that use a time period (e.g., first 30 minutes). Here, you select the bar timeframe (default 5-minute), and only that single first bar's range is captured.
Statistical Level Calculation
The indicator maintains a rolling array of the last N session's first bar ranges (default: 60 sessions). For each new session, it calculates:
Average Range: Mean of historical first bar ranges
Standard Deviation: Volatility of those ranges
Projection Levels: High/Low ± (Average Range + Std Dev × Multiplier)
This provides probability-based levels. For example, a +2σ level suggests: "Historically, price extending this far beyond the opening range is a 2-standard-deviation event (approximately 95th percentile)."
Fibonacci Extensions
Using the first bar range as the base unit (100%), the indicator projects Fibonacci levels:
100% extension: One full range above the high / below the low
1.618x extension: (Default) Golden ratio projection
2.618x, 3.618x extensions: Additional Fibonacci levels
Calculation: Range = H - L, then Target = H + (Range × Multiplier) for upside projections.
OR Rotation Levels
These are fixed-point increments from the first bar's high and low. Unlike percentage-based methods, rotations use absolute point values:
NQ traders often use 65-point increments
ES traders often use 15-point increments
Gold/bonds use different values

Use Cases
Gap Trading: When price gaps away from previous day's close, the first bar range shows the initial gap acceptance/rejection zone
Breakout Confirmation: Price breaking and holding above the first bar high with volume suggests trend day potential. Rotation levels provide measured targets.
Reversal Identification: Price reaching +2σ statistical level = rare event, potential exhaustion
Range Bound Days: Price oscillating between first bar high/low suggests range-bound session; trade reversals at extremes
Institutional Level Awareness: OR Rotations at 65 points (NQ) align with levels professional traders watch
Technical Notes
The indicator uses request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to ensure the first bar levels are captured correctly
All drawing objects (lines, labels, fills) are managed in arrays with automatic cleanup to prevent memory issues
The statistical calculations use array.avg() and array.stdev() for accurate probability estimates
Rotation levels use individual line variables (like Fibonacci) rather than loops for reliability
Summary
This indicator is original in its combination of three distinct methodologies for projecting levels from a session's opening range:
Statistical Analysis - No other opening range indicator (to our knowledge) calculates standard deviation projections from historical first bar ranges
Time-Based Session Flexibility - Most OR indicators use only daily or fixed time periods; this allows any custom session window
Multiple Projection Methods - Traders can use statistical, Fibonacci, AND rotation levels together or separately

Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)
Script Description
This TradingView indicator is optimized for Forex, scalping, intraday, and day trading strategies. It accurately plots Pivot Points and levels, high/low, support and resistance levels. These are clearly identified to aid the trader during killzone sessions and session opens. Ideal for scalp trading, intraday sessions, and leveraging SMT (Smart Money Techniques). Utilize these Price Levels effectively during London Open, NY Open, and the Asia Session, utilizing Market Structure to pinpoint key levels and reversal zones for successful trading. Improve your Trade Setups, recognize reliable Chart Patterns, identify critical Price Pivots, and trade confidently off Institutional Levels.
This script marks the intraday pivot highs, lows and midpoints retracement levels for
Asia
London
New York
It also plots the previous day's high, low, midpoint, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, providing traders with critical price reference points for making intraday trading decisions.
Originality & Usefulness
This indicator uniquely integrates pivot calculations across three major Forex sessions (Asia, London, NY), clearly delineating session boundaries.
It enhances visibility by using distinct styling
solid for New York
dashed for London
dotted lines for Asia
And colour co-ordinated labeling, improving traders' ability to identify important intraday price action zones efficiently. Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script emphasizes session-specific trading dynamics.
### Key Features ###
Session-Based Levels: Automatically plots high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci (.618) levels for each major session (Asia, London, NY).
Distinct Visual Cues: Lines and labels use session-specific styles and colors to easily differentiate between sessions.
Previous Day Reference: Clearly plots and labels yesterday's high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci levels.
Flexible Visibility: Traders can set timeframe visibility to maintain clean charts on higher timeframes.
### How It Works
At the start of next day's session, previous session lines are cleared, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
High, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci retracement levels (.618) are dynamically calculated and displayed at the close of each session.
All session levels remain visible until the start of the next respective session, providing continuous actionable insights.
Trading Application:
Session highs and lows act as strong intraday support and resistance zones.
Midpoints and Fibonacci levels are effective for identifying potential reversal zones and retracements.
Daily levels provide a broader context, useful for gauging intraday volatility and range.
### Limitations and Considerations ##
Best used on liquid assets with clear session-based price action, such as Forex major pairs, if used on indexes make sure they contain 24 hour price action not just New York session.
This indicator is designed to streamline intraday trading by clearly marking essential pivot points and session-based levels, significantly improving traders' market context and decision-making accuracy. Can be used to enhance SMT decision making when scalping killzones.

Sessions KillZones Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
"The Forex Trading Sessions" highlight the active periods across different markets where significant trading volume and influence on the forex market are evident. The primary trading sessions globally include the "Asian Session," "London Session," and "New York Session."
A "Kill Zone" refers to a segment within a session characterized by high trading volume and notably sharper price movements. Consequently, there's a higher probability of encountering price action setups within these zones. Traders capitalize on this phenomenon in pursuit of more successful trading outcomes.
If you aim to integrate sessions or kill zones into your indicators or strategies, utilizing this library can amplify the precision and efficiency of your Python script development.
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below:
import TFlab/SessionAndKillZoneLibrary_TradingFinder/1

KillZone_Show : Using this input you can control whether the kill zone is displayed or not. You must set true to display and false to not display.
AreaUpdate : If you want the session to be determined based on the time and high and low of the session itself, you must enter "Session" and if you want the area to be determined based on the time and high and low of the kill zone, you must enter "Kill Zone".
MoreInfo : If you want more information, you should set this entry to true, otherwise set to false. This information includes the number of candles in the area, the length of time in the area and the volume of transactions in the area.
Session_Color : Enter your desired color to display the session at this section. It is recommended to use bright and sharp colors.
Info_Color : Enter your desired color to display more information in this section.
🔵 Function Outputs
The outputs of this function are direct and indirect.
🟣 Indirect outputs
These outputs include session display, kill zone display, and time and volume information of session or kill zone.
🟣 Direct outputs
There are 8 direct outputs, which are:
Session Time : If the Session is active, it outputs 1, and if the Session is inactive, it outputs 0.
