Daily Direction Profile

昨天

This indicator helps traders identify the probable direction of the current trading day by detecting breaks of the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL), with a focus on early session breaks.
🎯 Core Concept
The underlying idea is simple: when price breaks above PDH or below PDL early in the trading day, it often signals the dominant direction for that session. Early breaks tend to be more meaningful than late-day breaks.
📊 Features

• Session Boxes – Visualizes three major trading sessions (Asia, London, NY AM) as colored high/low range boxes
  
• Daily Structure – Tracks the current day's high and low with horizontal lines, and marks day separators with vertical dashed lines
  
• PDH/PDL Break Detection – Identifies the first break of the previous day's high or low
  
• Time Filter – Optionally limits signals to the first part of the day (configurable, default 12 hours)
  
• Visual Signals – Triangle markers at the day's starting bar plus optional break level lines
  
• Dual EMAs – Fast and slow EMAs for additional trend context
  
• Alerts – Built-in alert conditions for both PDH and PDL breaks

Signals

• Only first part of day – When enabled, break signals only trigger within the defined early session window
  
• First part of day (hours) – Number of hours from day start during which signals are allowed (1-23)
  
• Arrow offset (ticks) – Vertical distance of triangle markers from the daily high/low
  
• Draw break line (PDH / PDL) – Toggle horizontal lines showing the broken PDH or PDL level
  

📈 How to Use

• A green triangle (up) at day start indicates PDH was broken → potential bullish day
  
• A red triangle (down) at day start indicates PDL was broken → potential bearish day
  
• Use session boxes to understand where the move originated
  
• Combine with the EMAs for trend confirmation
  

⚠️ Notes

• Each break type (high/low) signals only once per day to avoid noise
  
• Session times are based on New York timezone
  
• Best suited for intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h)
