[Viprasol] Gold Sniper ConfluenceOverview
Gold Sniper Confluence is a gold-only edition of the Sniper Confluence engine, which builds on "Sniper Entry/Exit with SL&TP by KhanSaab V.02" by KhanSaab (open-source). KhanSaab's script provides the fast / slow EMA crossover trigger, the ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit ladder, the VWAP overlay, RSI and MACD read-outs, a secondary-timeframe RSI and the EMA-retest candle highlight. This version keeps every one of those components and adds two layers on top: a confluence scoring gate that decides whether a crossover is allowed to become a signal, and a gold layer that only exists because gold trades differently from other markets: a symbol guard that suppresses signals on non-gold charts, a US Dollar Index (DXY) inverse-correlation factor, a London / New York session filter and an average-daily-range (ADR) exhaustion filter with dollar and point risk read-outs.
It is built for XAUUSD and GC / MGC futures traders on intraday charts who want each crossover confirmed by the dollar, the session and the day's remaining range before acting. The on-chart HOW IT WORKS legend, live checklist and summary footer explain the logic directly on the chart.
Why Gold Needs Its Own Filters (Mashup Justification)
- Gold is priced in dollars, so a rising dollar is a headwind for gold and a falling dollar a tailwind. An EMA crossover that fights the dollar is a lower-quality crossover. The DXY factor scores that relationship, but only while the two are actually moving inversely, because the link does break at times (risk-off days, rate shocks).
- Gold's volume and range are concentrated in the London and New York sessions. Crossovers during the Asian session tend to happen in thin, choppy conditions and are more likely to whipsaw.
- Gold has a fairly stable average daily range. Once the day has already travelled its usual distance, a late crossover is buying or selling into exhaustion. The ADR filter blocks those entries.
- The symbol guard keeps the DXY and ADR logic honest: it only makes sense on gold, so signals are suppressed elsewhere unless you deliberately turn gold-only mode off.
How It Works
1. EMA crossover trigger (from original)
Fast EMA (default 9) crossing above the slow EMA (default 21) is a long trigger; crossing below is a short trigger. With bar-close confirmation on (new), the cross must still hold when the bar closes.
2. Confluence score, 8 factors (factors 1-7 were displayed in the original; the scoring gate and factor 8 are new)
Each bar the indicator counts how many factors agree with each direction:
bullScore = 0
bullScore += close > VWAP
bullScore += RSI(14) > 50
bullScore += MACD line > signal line
bullScore += fast EMA > slow EMA
bullScore += ADX(14) > 25 and close > fast EMA
bullScore += volume > SMA(volume, 20) and close > open
bullScore += RSI(14) on the confirmation timeframe > 50
bullScore += DXY inverse factor (see step 3)
bearScore = mirror image (below instead of above)
a crossover becomes a signal only if its score >= Minimum score (default 5 of 8)
3. DXY inverse-correlation factor (new)
dxyClose, dxyEma = DXY close and EMA(dxyClose, 21) on the chart timeframe
corr = correlation(close, dxyClose, 20)
linkActive = corr <= -0.3
bull point if linkActive and dxyClose < dxyEma (dollar weak)
bear point if linkActive and dxyClose > dxyEma (dollar strong)
no point to either side while the link is not active
The dashboard shows the DXY value, its trend arrow, the live correlation and a tick when the link is active. Turning the factor off makes the score out of 7.
4. Gold symbol guard (new)
isGold = base currency == "XAU"
or ticker contains "XAU" or "GOLD" (non-stock symbols)
or futures root == "GC" or "MGC"
or ticker contains your custom keyword
if gold-only mode and not isGold: signals suppressed, dashboard header turns red
5. London / New York session filter (new)
inLondon = bar time inside 03:00-12:00 (New York time, editable)
inNewYork = bar time inside 08:00-17:00 (New York time, editable)
sessionOk = filter off, or chart is daily or higher, or inLondon or inNewYork
Blocked crossovers are marked with a small grey x and the dashboard shows which session (or ASIA / OFF-HOURS) the last bar belongs to. The active session can be shaded on the chart.
6. ADR exhaustion filter (new)
ADR = SMA(daily high - daily low, 14) taken from completed days only
todayRange = running high - running low of the current day, built from the chart's own bars
adrUsed% = todayRange / ADR * 100
adrOk = filter off, or adrUsed% < Block threshold (default 100%)
The ADR is requested from the daily feed with a one-bar offset so historical and live bars see the same completed-day value. Because the ADR uses finished days and today's range is accumulated bar by bar, neither value repaints. The dashboard shows ADR in dollars and the percentage used, turning amber from 75% of the threshold and red once blocked.
7. Final signal gate (new)
LONG = bull crossover and bullScore >= minimum and goldOk and sessionOk and adrOk and not already long
SHORT = mirror image
Every gate only removes crossovers; none of them creates a signal that the original crossover logic would not have produced.
8. ATR stop and take-profit ladder (from original, extended)
Stop = entry -/+ ATR(14) x 1.5. Targets sit at 1R, 2R and 3R. The number of targets (1-3) is configurable (new), target lines turn turquoise and the label gets a tick when touched (from original) and the stop moves to breakeven when TP1 is hit (new). Every label states its distance from entry in points, for example "SL: 4364.87 (-50 pts)" or "TP1: 4355.83 (+40 pts)", and the dashboard shows the same distances in dollars and points (new). The point size is configurable because brokers count gold points differently.
9. Retest candles (from original)
While a trade is active, a candle that pulls back into the fast EMA without breaking the slow EMA is coloured orange.
What Is Original (Viprasol Additions)
1. Confluence scoring gate: the seven original read-outs are turned into a score that must reach a minimum before a crossover can fire.
2. DXY inverse-correlation factor with a rolling-correlation switch, so the dollar only votes while the inverse link is real.
3. Gold symbol guard that detects spot, CFD and futures gold from the symbol and suppresses signals elsewhere.
4. London / New York session filter with editable windows and timezone.
5. ADR exhaustion filter using completed-day ranges and a live, non-repainting intraday range, plus dollar and point risk read-outs on the labels and dashboard.
6. Bar-close confirmation of the crossover.
7. Breakeven trailing after TP1 and a configurable number of take-profit levels.
8. Blocked-signal markers that show exactly which crossovers the gold filters removed and why.

How to Use
Setup:
1. Open a gold chart (OANDA:XAUUSD, FX:XAUUSD, COMEX:GC1! or MGC1!) using standard candlesticks.
2. Keep the default 9 / 21 EMAs and minimum score 5 to start.
3. Check the Session timezone. Windows are written in New York time by default; switch to Exchange if you prefer your broker's clock.
4. Set Point size to match how your broker counts gold points (0.10 for most, so a $5.00 stop reads as 50 pts).
Reading the chart:
- BUY label below a bar = bullish crossover that passed the score and all three gold gates. SELL label above a bar = bearish equivalent.
- Grey x = a crossover that had enough confluence but was blocked by the symbol guard, the session filter or the ADR filter. The dashboard's Signal row names the reason.
- Cyan dashed line = entry, red line = stop, green dashed lines = TP1-TP3. Each line ends at a label that shows the price and the distance from entry in points. A turquoise line and a tick on the label mean that target was touched. A dotted cyan stop means it has moved to breakeven.
- Orange candle = pullback into the fast EMA while the trade is active.
- Violet shading = London window, gold shading = New York window, brighter gold = the overlap.
Panels:
- HOW IT WORKS (top left by default) explains the flow in seven lines.
- Checklist (bottom left by default) shows a tick or cross for all eight factors and the three gold gates for the currently stronger side, and states whether the engine is ARMED, BLOCKED or waiting for confluence.
- Dashboard (top right by default) shows live values, DXY, session, ADR, risk in $ and points, and trade status.
- Every panel has its own position setting (nine positions), so they can be arranged to suit any chart size.
Recommended starting points:
- Scalping (1m-5m): EMA 5 / 13, minimum score 6, ATR x 1.0, ADR block 90%
- Intraday (15m-1H): EMA 9 / 21, minimum score 5, ATR x 1.5, ADR block 100%
- Swing (4H-1D): EMA 9 / 21, minimum score 4, ATR x 2.0, session filter off
These are starting points only. Gold's volatility regime changes; test on historical data and adjust before trading live.

Limitations & Disclaimer
- EMA crossovers lag by nature. The gates reduce whipsaws but cannot remove them; ranging days will still produce crossovers that fail.
- The DXY factor depends on the dollar-index symbol being available to your account and having data on the chart timeframe. When DXY is closed (weekends, holidays) the last known value is carried forward.
- The correlation gate uses a rolling window; at the very start of the chart history it is empty and the DXY factor scores nothing.
- The DXY factor is scored, not gated. At the default minimum of 5 the signals are a subset of the general-market Sniper engine; if you lower the minimum to 4, a cross with only three of the original factors plus the DXY point can qualify.
- A crossover that is blocked by a gold gate still ends the opposite open trade, exactly as an unblocked crossover would. Only the new entry is withheld.
- Session windows are wall-clock filters. Holidays, daylight-saving changes and broker-specific hours can shift when gold is actually liquid.
- ADR is a statistical average. Gold can and does exceed it on news days; the filter deliberately stays out of those late moves.
- The secondary-timeframe RSI uses request.security and its current-bar value can change until that timeframe's bar closes.
- Entry, stop and target lines are visual references only. The indicator does not place or manage trades.
- Past performance of any signal system does not guarantee future results. This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and do your own analysis before trading.

Statistical Mapping - True + Midnight Open⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE USING ⚠️⚠️
This indicator is an educational and analytical tool. It is not financial advice, not a signal service, and not a trading system. It does not tell you when to buy or sell.
Every number it shows is a HISTORICAL FREQUENCY measured on past data. It is not a probability, not a forecast, and not a guarantee. Markets change; a level that was reached on 70% of the last 90 days may be reached far less often over the next 90. Past behaviour never guarantees future behaviour.
Do not size positions off these levels alone. Do not treat a "Reach" percentage as an edge. Use this tool to understand context — how far this market normally travels — and combine it with your own analysis, your own risk management, and your own testing.
You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and any losses that result from them.
════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT THIS IS, IN ONE PARAGRAPH
Every trading day has a shape. Price opens, usually pokes a little way in the wrong direction, then travels in the direction it is actually going to close. Statistical Mapping measures both of those distances across the last N days and draws them on your chart as five levels around today's open. It tells you, before the day develops, roughly how far this market normally pulls back and roughly how far it normally runs.
════════════════════════════════════════
THE FIVE LEVELS
Working from the top of the screen down:
+D Upside distribution objective
-M Upside manipulation area
O The anchor open
+M Downside manipulation area
-D Downside distribution objective
"Distribution" (D) is travel in the direction the period closed. "Manipulation" (M) is travel against it, before the period resolved.
So on a day that closes UP:
- the run from the open up to the high is DISTRIBUTION
- the dip from the open down to the low is MANIPULATION
And on a day that closes DOWN, the mirror image.
That is why the levels are not symmetrical, and why -M sits above the open while +M sits below it. +D and -D are objectives. +M and -M are the areas where a move typically fakes out before doing what it was going to do anyway.

════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT IS CALCULATED
For each of the last N completed periods (default 90 days), the script records:
Direction = up if close > open, down if close < open
If the period closed UP:
Distribution sample = high - open
Manipulation sample = open - low
If the period closed DOWN:
Distribution sample = open - low
Manipulation sample = high - open
It then takes the mean or the median of each set of samples and projects those two distances from the CURRENT period's open:
+D = today's open + distribution
-M = today's open + manipulation
+M = today's open - manipulation
-D = today's open - distribution
Mean is the arithmetic average — it is pulled around by outlier days such as CPI, FOMC or gap opens. Median is the middle value — it ignores those outliers and is usually the tighter, more realistic number.
"Both" mode draws a shaded zone spanning from the mean to the median instead of a single line. The WIDTH of that zone is itself information: a wide zone means the sample is skewed by a handful of violent days; a narrow zone means the market has been behaving consistently.
════════════════════════════════════════
THE STATISTICS TABLE — AND WHY IT MATTERS
For each level the table reports:
Level the level name
Price where the level currently sits
Dist how far that is from the anchor open, in price
Reach see below
Hit whether the current period has already traded through the level
In **Both** mode the chart draws a ZONE from the mean to the median, and the table reports the **near edge** of that zone — whichever of the two sits closer to the anchor open. That is the first price of the zone price actually reaches, so it is the number that matters in practice. Price, Dist, Reach and Hit all use that same near edge, so every column describes the same price, and the far edge stays visible on the chart as the other side of the band. Alerts use it too.
Hover any column header for a full explanation of that column. A compact footer row shows the mapping period, anchor mode, method, how many periods were actually usable, and how the sample splits between up-closing and down-closing periods.
IF YOU RUN BOTH MAPPING PERIODS AT ONCE
The table describes ONE mapping period at a time. Two periods have entirely different levels, distances and statistics, and interleaving them would produce a table nobody could read.
By default that is MAPPING PERIOD 1 — the first of the two timeframe slots. You can point it at period 2 instead with "Show Statistics For" in the statistics table settings.
If the period you pick is not on screen — its levels are hidden because your chart timeframe is not lower than it — the table falls back to the other one rather than showing you nothing.
The footer's first cell always names the period the table is describing, right next to the anchor mode and the calculation method, so you can confirm which one you are reading at a glance. The chart draws both sets of levels regardless; only the table is limited to one.
WHAT "REACH" MEANS, PLAINLY
Reach answers one question: out of the days in your lookback, how many of them actually got this far?
Worked example. Lookback is 90 days. +D sits 419 points above today's open, and Reach shows 25.6%.
That means: on 23 of the last 90 days, price traded 419 points or more above THAT day's open at some point during the day. On the other 67 days, it never got that far.
Nothing more than that. It is a count of past days, expressed as a percentage.
Why it is useful: a level on its own is just a line. Reach tells you whether that line marks something ordinary or something rare.
Low Reach (say 15-25%) — price rarely gets here. An extended target. If price
is already here, the day has done unusual work.
High Reach (say 70-80%) — price gets here on most days. Routine. Reaching it
tells you very little on its own.
The footer shows how many periods were actually usable and the up/down split, so you can always see the sample the numbers rest on.
Reach is a count of what happened on past days. It is not a probability of it happening today, and it is not a forecast.
════════════════════════════════════════
SAMPLE SELECTION — WHICH PAST PERIODS GET MEASURED
This is the setting that decides what the statistics actually describe, and it matters more than any other.
MATCHED (the default)
Only periods from the SAME SLOT are measured.
On an intraday mapping period that means the same time of day. With a 1H mapping at 09:15, the numbers come from the 09:00-10:00 hour of each of the previous days. At 10:00 the indicator switches to the 10:00-11:00 hour of those same days. On a 1D mapping period it means the same weekday — a Thursday is measured against previous Thursdays.
ROLLING
The last N periods in a row, whatever time of day they happened to be.
WHY THIS EXISTS
Markets do not behave the same at every hour. The New York open and the middle of the Asian session are different animals. Average them together and you get a number that describes neither.
The practical consequence is specific: on a 1H mapping, a rolling average of the last 90 hours is dominated by quiet hours, because most hours are quiet. Project that at 09:30 and the levels sit far too close in — price blows through them in the first ten minutes and the map looks broken. It is not broken; it was answering the wrong question. Matched sampling asks the right one: how far does THIS hour usually travel?
The same applies on a daily mapping. Mondays and Fridays do not behave like Wednesdays.
WHAT IT DOES TO "LOOKBACK"
In Matched mode, Lookback counts OCCURRENCES of the slot rather than consecutive periods. Lookback 90 on a 1H mapping means the last 90 appearances of that hour — roughly 90 trading days, not 90 hours. That is a much longer reach into history, which has one consequence worth knowing about, below.
WHEN IT DOES NOT APPLY
A 1W mapping period contains one of each slot, so there is nothing to match against. The indicator uses Rolling there and says so on the chart rather than pretending otherwise.
HONEST LIMITATION
Reaching back 90 occurrences of a slot means reaching back 90 days of data. On coarser mapping periods — 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D — that fits comfortably. On finer ones, 15m and below, it needs more intraday history than the script is given, so the sample comes up short.
The indicator does not hide this. The footer shows the real count as, for example, "n 46/90", and a notice explains that fewer samples were available and why. The levels remain valid; they simply rest on a smaller sample, and you can decide whether that is enough. Lowering Lookback removes the notice.
The table footer names the active slot, so you can always see exactly which pool the numbers came from — "1H 09:00" rather than just "1H".
ONE THING TO SET ONCE
That slot label has a time zone setting, in the statistics table section. It defaults to New York, which is the reference most index-futures and FX traders keep their charts on. If your chart is set to anything else, change it to match.
This is not laziness — Pine scripts genuinely cannot read TradingView's chart Time Zone setting. TradingView treats it as a display preference and gives scripts no access to it. So if you have changed your chart away from Exchange time, the label has no way of knowing until you tell it.
The practical case: MNQ trades on CME, whose exchange time zone is Chicago. A chart left on Exchange time therefore runs an hour behind New York. Set this to whatever your chart shows, once, and forget it.
It affects the LABEL ONLY. Slot grouping, every level, every statistic and every Reach figure are completely unaffected — changing time zone shifts every bar by the same amount, so exactly the same periods are grouped together either way.
════════════════════════════════════════
WHICH LEVELS GET REACHED ON WHICH KIND OF DAY
This falls straight out of how the levels are built, and it is worth understanding because it is most of what makes the tool useful.
+M and -M sit close to the open, because a typical day's counter-move is small. They get reached on most days — including slow, quiet, range-bound ones. Look at your own Reach column and they will usually be the two highest numbers in the table. That is exactly why price touching +M or -M, on its own, tells you very little. It is the normal texture of a day, not an event.
+D and -D sit much further out, because they represent a full typical day's directional travel. Price only gets there when the day has already moved further from its open than an average day manages. In practice that means TRENDING DAYS and HIGH-VOLATILITY DAYS — expansion sessions, news days, days that pick a direction in the morning and hold it. On a quiet range day price frequently never comes close to either one.
So the two pairs are answering different questions:
Price at +M / -M -> ordinary. The day is doing what days do.
Price at +D / -D -> this day is not ordinary. It has already
behaved like a trend or expansion day.
That second line is the practical one. Reaching a distribution level is itself information about the character of the session, before you form any view about what happens next.
Two honest caveats. First, this is a description of what the levels mean, not a prediction — nothing here says today will be a trend day. Second, "volatile" and "trending" are not the same thing and the tool does not distinguish them: a violent chop that swings 400 points in one direction and back can reach +D just as a smooth trend can. The level tells you the distance was covered, not how or in what order.
════════════════════════════════════════
HOW THIS DIFFERS FROM ADR / AVERAGE DAILY RANGE
ADR takes the average of (high - low) over N days and usually draws a band above and below either the open or the previous close. It answers one question: how big is a typical day?
Statistical Mapping answers a different and, I would argue, more useful set of questions.
WHERE IT GOES FURTHER THAN ADR
1. It compares like with like. ADR averages the last N days as one undifferentiated pool. On an intraday mapping period this indicator averages only the SAME TIME OF DAY — the 09:00 hour against previous 09:00 hours — and on a daily period only the same weekday. No ADR variant does this, and it is the difference between a projection that survives the New York open and one that price walks through in the first ten minutes.
2. It separates the range into direction. ADR gives you one number for the whole candle. Stat Map splits that candle into the part that travelled with the close and the part that travelled against it, and measures them separately. That is the difference between "the day is usually 300 points" and "the day usually pulls back 90 points before running 210".
3. It is asymmetric, and deliberately so. Because up-days and down-days are measured on their own terms, the upside and downside levels are not mirror images. ADR bands almost always are.
4. It offers the median, not just the mean. A single CPI day can inflate an ADR reading for weeks. The median is immune to that. Being able to flip between the two — and to see the gap between them in "Both" mode — is a diagnostic in its own right.
5. It reports how often each level was actually reached. This is the big one. ADR draws a line and stops. Stat Map tells you the historical frequency behind every line it draws.
6. It supports a NY Midnight anchor. For 24-hour markets the exchange's own daily open is often an arbitrary moment. Many traders work from 00:00 New York instead. The script rebuilds whole days around that time and recomputes every statistic from scratch, rather than just shifting a line.
7. It works on any mapping period, not only daily. Set it to 1W and you get the same decomposition for the weekly candle.
WHERE ADR IS THE BETTER TOOL, OR WHERE THIS ONE IS WEAKER
Being straight about this matters more than selling it.
1. It is more complicated. ADR is one number and anyone can use it in thirty seconds. This has five levels with a specific meaning each, and it will confuse a beginner who has not read the definitions above.
2. It needs a directional close to classify a period. A day that closes exactly at its open contributes to neither sample set. This is rare but it means the sample count can be slightly below your lookback setting.
3. The classification is only known in hindsight. A period is labelled up or down by its CLOSE. That is fine for building statistics from finished days, but it means the levels drawn on today's open are built on a mix of past up-days and past down-days — the script does not and cannot know which kind of day today will be. Both sides are drawn precisely because that is unknowable.
4. It is not adaptive within the period. The levels are fixed at the open and do not adjust as volatility develops during the session. ADR-style tools have the same limitation, but it is worth stating.
5. It says nothing about sequence or timing. It tells you how far, not when, and not in what order. A day that runs to +D at 09:45 and a day that grinds there by 15:55 look identical to this tool.
6. Regime changes take time to show up. With a 90-period lookback, a genuine shift in volatility takes weeks to be fully reflected. Shorten the lookback if you want faster adaptation — and accept a noisier, less stable reading in exchange.
Neither tool replaces the other. ADR sizes the day. This maps it.
════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE IT — PRACTICAL
FOR BEGINNERS, START HERE
Put it on a 15m chart with the defaults, set Calculation method to Median, and just watch it for two weeks without trading it. Notice how often price dips to +M early and then turns. Notice how often +D holds as a high for the day. You are building an intuition for how far this market actually moves — which is the single most common thing new traders have no feel for.
There is no single "correct" way to trade this. The levels describe the shape of a period; which part of that shape is useful depends entirely on what you trade. The sections below cover the common approaches, and the range section is as important as the trend one.
INTRADAY / DAY TRADING
The manipulation levels (+M and -M) are where the tool earns its keep. If you are looking for longs and price has come down into +M, you are at the area where up-days have historically found their low. That is a location to look for your own entry trigger — not a signal by itself. The distribution levels (+D and -D) work the other way: they are where you consider taking profit rather than initiating, because price reaching there means the day has already done a typical day's work in that direction.
The anchor open (O) is a simple bias line. Above it, you are on the bullish side of the period; below it, the bearish side.
RANGE, CONSOLIDATION AND MEAN-REVERSION
This is the other half of the tool, and it is easy to miss if you only read the section above.
Most days are not trend days. On an ordinary session price spends its time between +M and -M, oscillating around the anchor open, and never comes close to +D or -D. That is not the tool failing — it is the tool telling you what kind of day it is.
For anyone trading ranges, consolidations, or short mean-reversion, the useful structure is the inner three levels and nothing else:
-M the upper edge of the ordinary daily range
O the middle, and the level price returns to most often
+M the lower edge of the ordinary daily range
Look at the Reach figures for +M and -M on your instrument. They are typically the two highest numbers in the table — commonly 55-80%. That is the whole point: these are levels price reaches on most days, including quiet ones. Approaches built around them are naturally higher-frequency and lower reward-to-risk than approaches built around +D and -D, which is a trade-off, not a flaw. Fading -M back toward the open, or buying +M back toward the open, is a coherent way to use this.
The anchor open is the natural target for that kind of trade, and often the natural invalidation for the opposite one.
TWO HONEST WARNINGS ABOUT THIS
First, and this matters: Reach measures how often price GOT to a level. It does not measure how often price REVERSED there. Those are completely different questions and this indicator only answers the first. A 75% Reach on -M means price traded there on three days in four — it says nothing whatever about what happened next. Do not read a high Reach as a high win rate.
Second, the trades that make range approaches work are the same trades that get destroyed on trend days. The day you fade -M is the day price runs to +D. That is precisely why the distribution levels are on the chart at the same time: if price is pushing through -M with conviction rather than stalling at it, the map is telling you this may not be a range day. Use the whole structure, not half of it.
SCALPING
Use the Reach column as a filter. If price is sitting just past a level with a 20% reach, the market is already in unusual territory for the session and further continuation in that direction has historically been the exception, not the rule. Conversely a level with 70% reach is barely a level at all — price gets there on most days and it is poor evidence of anything.
Also watch the Hit column. Once +D is ticked for the day, the remaining upside to a typical day's extension is spent.
SWING TRADING
Put 1W in mapping period 1, untick period 2, and drop the chart to 1D or 4H. (Slot
1 rather than slot 2 on purpose: alerts only ever fire from slot 1 — see ALERTS
below.) You now get the same decomposition for the weekly candle: how far a week typically pulls back before running, and how far it typically runs. Weekly +M often lines up with the sort of pullback entry swing traders wait for.
You can also run both at once — 1D and 1W together — on a 1H or 4H chart, to see where the daily and weekly structures agree.
CHOOSING MEAN vs MEDIAN
Median for normal conditions and for tighter, more conservative targets. Mean when you want the levels to account for the fat tail — around known event risk, for example. Both, when you want to see how far apart they are, because that gap is a direct read on how outlier-driven the recent sample has been.
════════════════════════════════════════
IMPORTANT BEHAVIOUR YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
THE TIMEFRAME RULE — please read this one, it is the most common confusion
Your chart timeframe must be STRICTLY LOWER than the mapping period.
Mapping 1D -> chart must be 4H, 1H, 15m, 5m, 1m ...
Mapping 1W -> chart must be 1D, 4H, 1H ...
On a 1D chart the 1D levels will NOT appear. This is correct and intended: a period cannot be projected forward across a chart bar that already contains it. The script tells you so in a message at the bottom of the chart rather than failing silently. If you find that message annoying once you understand the rule, you can switch it off in the settings.
NY MIDNIGHT ANCHOR PRECISION
Days are rebuilt from 1-hour data, inside that data's own context rather than from your chart's bars. 00:00 New York falls on an hourly boundary for the futures, forex and crypto markets this mode is intended for, so the reconstruction is exact.
Because the reconstruction never touches chart bars, the anchor and every level are identical on every chart timeframe. A 5m chart, a 1H chart and a 4H chart all show the same prices.
The anchor mode applies to the 1D mapping only. Any other mapping period always uses that period's own true open.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Handled automatically, and worth explaining because it is a common source of doubt.
The script uses America/New_York, which is a full timezone rule rather than a fixed UTC offset. The anchor therefore tracks local New York clock time all year — EST in winter, EDT in summer — and its position relative to UTC shifts on its own at each changeover. You never need to adjust anything.
The two changeover days are 23 and 25 hours long. Days are rebuilt by watching the New York calendar date change, not by counting a fixed number of bars, so those two days are measured correctly as well: one simply contains one hour less of data, the other one hour more.
WHY THERE IS NO CUSTOM TIMEZONE OPTION
This is deliberate, for three reasons.
First, a technical one. Days are reconstructed from 1-hour bars, which is exact only because midnight New York lands on an hourly boundary. Several timezones are offset by a half or quarter hour — India, Iran, Nepal, parts of Australia — and there midnight falls in the middle of an hourly bar. The reconstruction would be quietly wrong rather than visibly broken, which is the worst kind of wrong.
Second, a conceptual one. The New York midnight open is a specific reference point that a large amount of flow actually keys off. It is not an arbitrary parameter. A free-form timezone box would imply every choice is equally meaningful, and most are not.
Third, an honest one about method. Offering a dial that changes every number in the table invites tuning it until the levels look good on the chart in front of you. That is curve-fitting, and it makes the statistics worse while feeling like it makes them better.
If you want a different anchor, the True Daily Open mode already gives you the exchange's own reference, which is the other genuinely meaningful one.
SAMPLE SIZE
If your data history cannot supply the number of periods you asked for, the table footer shows what was actually used and a message appears on the chart. The statistics are still valid, they are just built on fewer samples. Be more sceptical of a Reach figure built on 20 periods than one built on 200.
WHAT "TRUE DAILY OPEN" MEANS ON YOUR INSTRUMENT
It is the open of the 1D candle exactly as TradingView builds it for that symbol — so it follows each market's own session definition rather than imposing one:
US stocks 09:30 New York (regular session)
Euronext stocks 09:00 local exchange time
CME index futures 18:00 New York, previous day
Other futures that product's own session start, which differs by complex (grains, energy, metals and softs do not all open at the same time)
Forex and CFDs typically 17:00 New York
Crypto 00:00 UTC
One thing worth knowing: for instruments with a pre/post market, the daily candle follows YOUR CHART'S extended-hours setting. Turn extended hours on for a US stock and the daily open becomes the pre-market open rather than 09:30. That is consistent with what you see on the chart, but it does mean two traders looking at the same stock with different session settings will see different levels. If that matters to you, fix your chart's session setting and leave it alone.
If you trade something unusual and want to be sure, put the indicator on a 1H chart and compare the O line against the open of the daily candle on a 1D chart. They should match to the tick.
THE SAME ON EVERY CHART TIMEFRAME
Everything the script draws is read from the mapping period's own context, never rebuilt from chart bars. Put a 1W mapping on a 1D chart, then a 4H, then a 1H, then a 5m: the anchor, all five levels and every statistic are the same prices every time.
That is a deliberate design decision, not a detail. Rebuilding the anchor from chart bars cannot guarantee it, because bar alignment, session definitions, holidays and gaps all differ between timeframes — and a level that moves when you change timeframe is worse than no level at all.
REPAINTING
No level moves once it is drawn. Every level is fixed the moment its period opens and stays there until the next period begins.
Being precise about how that holds, since the script does use lookahead:
1. Every statistic — the means, the medians, the Reach percentages, the
sample counts — is computed from COMPLETED periods only. The forming
period's high, low and close never enter any of them. This is the part
that would leak the future, and it does not.
2. The five levels are built from those statistics plus the current period's
OPENING price, and drawn between its start and end timestamps. All three
of those are known the instant the period begins, so reading them ahead is
not future information. This is the standard, documented way to anchor a
higher-timeframe open.
3. One further value is read: the current period's running high and low. It
feeds exactly one thing — the Hit column, which reports whether the period
SO FAR has traded through a level — and that column is only ever drawn on
the last bar, where "so far" means right now. No level, no statistic and no
alert depends on it, and nothing about it is plotted historically.
Point 3 is worth stating plainly because it is the kind of thing that deserves scrutiny in an open-source script. It is read from the period's own context rather than rebuilt from chart bars for a concrete reason: on a live chart, a script is not guaranteed to calculate over the full period, so counting back through chart bars can silently measure only a recent slice of it — and do so differently in Bar Replay than in real time.
WHEN THERE IS NOT ENOUGH HISTORY
If the symbol does not have as many completed periods as your Lookback asks for — 90 weekly periods is nearly two years, and plenty of symbols do not have that — the script does not hide anything and does not error out.
It uses every period that does exist, shows the real count in the table footer as for example "n 47/90", and puts a notice at the bottom of the chart telling you the sample is smaller than you requested. The levels remain valid; they simply rest on fewer samples, and you can decide whether that is enough for you. Lowering Lookback to a number the symbol can actually supply removes the notice.
The statistics table never disappears because of missing data. If a value genuinely cannot be computed it reads n/a, so you can always see what the script is and is not able to do.
════════════════════════════════════════
SETTINGS
1 — MAPPING PERIODS
Two independent slots, each with its own on/off toggle. Defaults are 1D on, 1W off.
Daily anchor mode: True Daily Open, or NY Midnight Open (00:00 America/New_York).
Lookback: how many completed periods feed the statistics. Default 90. In Matched sampling this counts occurrences of the current slot.
Sample Selection: Matched or Rolling. Defaults to Matched. See the section above.
Calculation method: Mean, Median, or Both. Defaults to Both.
2 — "BOTH" MODE ZONES
Fill colours for the mean-to-median zones. Sits directly under Calculation method because it only has an effect when that is set to Both.
3 — LEVEL LINES, COLOURS & LABELS
Colour, line style and thickness for each of the five levels, listed in the same top-to-bottom order they appear on the chart. Level labels can be turned off.
4 — STATISTICS TABLE
On/off; which mapping period it describes (defaults to period 1); slot label time zone (defaults to New York; set it to match your chart); position (all eight edge and corner slots, including top and bottom centre; defaults to Middle Right); text size (defaults to Normal).
5 — ALERTS
Which levels can fire, and what counts as reaching one.
6 — WARNINGS
On/off for the on-chart notices described above. The warning panel automatically places itself away from the statistics table, so the two never overlap wherever you put the table.
════════════════════════════════════════
ALERTS
Six alert conditions are available:
+D reached
-M reached
Open crossed
+M reached
-D reached
Any enabled level
ALERTS COME FROM MAPPING PERIOD 1 ONLY . Worth stating plainly, because nothing on
screen will tell you otherwise: if you untick mapping period 1 and run only period
2, these six conditions still appear in TradingView's dropdown and you can still
create the alert — it simply never fires. If you want alerts on a particular
period, put that period in SLOT 1.
Settings section 5 controls two things. First, which levels are allowed to fire — untick a level and it will never trigger, even if you created an alert for it. Second, what counts as reaching a level:
Touches the level (wick) — fires as soon as any part of the bar reaches the
level. Earlier and more sensitive.
Closes beyond the level — fires only when a bar CLOSES past it. Later, and
fewer false triggers.
TO CREATE AN ALERT
1. Set the tickboxes in section 5 the way you want them, then press Ok.
2. Right-click the chart and choose Add alert (or press Alt+A).
3. In the Condition dropdown at the top, select "Stat-Map (Gigi)".
4. In the second dropdown, pick the level you want. Use "Any enabled level" if
you would rather have one alert covering all of them.
5. Set Trigger to "Once Per Bar Close" for confirmed signals, or "Once Per Bar"
for intrabar.
6. Press Create. Repeat for each level you want separately.
The levels jumping to new prices at the start of a period never by itself sends an alert. A genuine touch on that opening bar does, though — an opening bar that runs from the anchor open straight into a level is a real event, and both the Hit column and the alerts treat it as one.

Dynamic Range Tool [vault]Dynamic Range Tool is a complete session range framework. Instead of stacking five separate tools every morning you get one: the session range with its quarters and projections, average range targets from the daily, weekly and monthly timeframes, daily and weekly opens, center mass of the previous daily and weekly candle, and automatic order blocks. One script, one chart, alerts on every level.
THE SESSION RANGE
The engine is a time window defined in EST. The default is 19:00 to 02:45, which is the asian session plus the london open lead in. The script tracks the highest high and lowest low inside that window and builds three lines from it: range high, range low, range mid. Those lines are then extended to whatever hour you set in "Extend To Hour", 19:00 the next evening by default, so the levels sit in front of you for the entire trading day.
On top of that you get the range quarters at 25% and 75%, drawn dashed in the theme accent color. Those are the levels price tends to react to on the way back into the middle.
Two vertical markers show the range gate and the moment the window closes, so you never lose track of where the measurement ends.
RANGE PROJECTIONS
Turn on "Show Range Projection" and you get the range mirrored above and below the midpoint at 1x, 1.5x, 2x and 2.5x. Classic range expansion logic. If the asian session printed 40 points you already know where 1x and 2x sit before london even starts. Upper levels use the theme top color, lower levels the bottom color.
ADR / AWR / AMR TARGETS
This is the part that does the heavy lifting. The script computes an average candle range (14 periods by default) separately on the daily, weekly, monthly and a custom intraday timeframe (60 or 240 minutes), then projects:
- Daily projected high = day low + ADR
- Daily projected low = day high - ADR
- The same for the week and the month, with progressively thicker lines
- The same for your custom timeframe
- Top hash and bottom hash, the range midpoint plus and minus half an ADR
- A second pair at the midpoint plus and minus a full ADR
Every level is labelled on the right and fires its own alert. Once the day has already delivered its average range the projected high and low cross over each other, and the script deletes both lines and their labels automatically so you are not left staring at levels that no longer mean anything.
Underneath, semi transparent zones are shaded between the range midpoint and the ADR projection. They show how much room is left before the average day is fully used up.
OPENS AND CENTER MASS
- Daily open and weekly open, colored dynamically: bottom color when price trades above the open, top color when below. One glance tells you which side of the open you are on.
- Center mass daily and weekly, the midpoint of the previous daily and weekly candle body. Thick neutral line, one of the better mean reversion magnets on intraday charts.
ORDER BLOCKS
A separate module. The script measures momentum as the percentage change of open against the open four bars back. When that change crosses the sensitivity threshold (25 by default, meaning 0.25%) it walks back 4 to 15 bars, finds the last candle opposite to the impulse, and turns it into a block. Mitigation is your choice of wick or close. Blocks are removed automatically once mitigated, and price entering an active block triggers an alert.
A minimum spacing of 5 bars between signals keeps the chart clean in chop.
STATS PANEL
Top right corner: last session range, ADR, AWR and the custom range value. Displayed in pips or in ticks depending on the toggle.
THEMES
The build ships with a full theme engine:
- Vault Red (default) - red upside, blue downside, white structure
- Vault Classic - the original orange and blue palette
- Ice - cold blues
- Neon - magenta and green
- Gold - gold and purple
- Mono - white and greys for dark charts
- Custom - unlocks every manual color picker
Switching a theme repaints the range lines, targets, zones, labels, order blocks and panel text in one move. The range center line is white now instead of black, so it is finally visible on a dark chart.
ALERTS
Weekly, monthly, daily and custom projected high and low, top hash, bottom hash, price inside bullish block, price inside bearish block. All fire once per bar.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Intraday chart. Minute based timeframes are read directly from the chart resolution.
2. Set the session window in EST for your market. For index futures leave it at 19:00 to 02:45.
3. Start the day with three questions: which side of the range am i on, which side of the daily open am i on, how much of the average range is still unused.
4. Treat the upper and lower ADR targets as places to take risk off, not places to enter.
5. The range mid and the center mass lines are return levels, not continuation levels.
TECHNICAL NOTES
Higher timeframe data (daily, weekly, monthly, custom) is requested with lookahead enabled. That keeps the levels anchored on historical bars, but it also means this script is not suitable for bar by bar backtesting or for driving an automated strategy. It is a context drawing tool, not a simulation.
All drawing is anchored to bar time rather than bar index, so levels stay locked to the clock.
The "ADR Days" input is a leftover from the original and does not affect any calculation. The averaging length lives in "ADR period".
Nothing here is financial advice. The tool draws context, the decisions are yours.

Daily ATR Projection [EDGE]Daily ATR Projection .
Projects the previous daily close plus and minus 0.5 and 1.0 ATR(D) as five horizontal levels on the current chart, and shows the same levels together with a live ATR% amplitude reading in a compact dashboard. Built for intraday traders who want a fixed, non-repainting map of how much room the day still has before the session has statistically exhausted its average range.
How it works:
The indicator requests the previous completed daily bar via request.security(sym, "D", [close , atr_expr ], lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on). The two values it pulls — previous daily close and previous daily ATR — are always finalised bar data, so the projection never repaints during the intraday session. From those two numbers it computes four projected levels: previous close plus and minus 0.5 x ATR(D) and plus and minus 1.0 x ATR(D). The fifth line is the previous daily close itself.
On every last bar the five levels are (re)anchored using xloc.bar_time so they extend the requested number of bars to the right of the current bar, without being clipped by empty space in the chart layout. When the smoothing method is changed the ATR expression is recomputed inside a single helper so RMA, SMA, EMA and WMA all share the same request.security call.
What it calculates:
- Prev Close — previous daily close, drawn as the middle reference line.
- +100% — previous close + 1.0 x ATR(D), the upper edge of the expected daily range.
- +50% — previous close + 0.5 x ATR(D), the mid upside marker.
- -50% — previous close - 0.5 x ATR(D), the mid downside marker.
- -100% — previous close - 1.0 x ATR(D), the lower edge of the expected daily range.
- 1 ATR, % — the previous daily ATR expressed as a percentage of the previous daily close, i.e. today's average expected amplitude.
- Distance-to-price row — signed distance from each of the four ATR levels to the current close, so the trader can see how much of the daily potential is still available in each direction.
Key features:
- Non-repainting daily ATR — data is pulled from the previous completed D1 bar; intraday bars never see values that have not been finalised.
- Adjustable smoothing — RMA (Wilder), SMA, EMA or WMA on the daily True Range.
- ATR multiplier — 1.0 keeps the classic envelope, 0.5-2.0 for tighter or wider projections.
- Right-extension control — line reach is configured in bars of the current timeframe, so the levels stay visible on any chart scale.
- Toggle for the middle line — turn off the previous daily close if a separate PDC indicator is already loaded.
- Compact dashboard with six anchor positions (top / bottom / middle, left / centre / right) and four text sizes.
- Two-row value grid — absolute level values on one row, signed distance to current close on the row below.
- Live 1 x ATR(D) amplitude reading with an inline tooltip mapping the reading to volatility regimes (low / normal / elevated / extreme).
- Meaning-encoded colour scale — deep green and deep red for the outer plus / minus 100% boundaries, softer green and red for plus / minus 50%, neutral grey for the previous close. Every colour is exposed as input.color and can be overridden.
- All input labels, tooltips and dashboard captions in English.
Who it's for:
Intraday and short-horizon swing traders who plan entries against the previous daily close and want a fixed, statistically grounded map of the day's realistic upside and downside potential. Useful for session-based playbooks (open, mid-day, close), for measuring how much of the average day has already been printed before committing to a continuation trade, and as a discipline overlay for fade traders who prefer to avoid taking reversal setups after price has already consumed the full daily amplitude. 指标
Range Budget [AFD]
Range Budget answers one question at a glance: **how much of a
typical session's range has today already used?**
A day that has spent 40% of its typical range and a day that has spent 130% are different trading environments. This indicator measures which one you are in, from this chart's own price history, and says so in one number, onecolour, and one word.
###What it does###
- **Headline percentage** — today's realized range so far, divided by thetypical completed-session range. Never clamped: a wide day reads 130%, not100%.
- **State word and meter** — ROOM → PAST HALF (50%) → NEAR FULL (80%) → OVER
TYPICAL (100%). The word, the meter and every state colour come from the same thresholds, so they cannot disagree.
- **Envelope levels** — session low + typical range, and session high − typicalrange, drawn as glowing lines with a gradient band between them. Aconditional identity, not a projection: IF the session finishes at itstypical size AND the low holds, the high lands exactly on the upper level. Once the day crosses its typical range, the levels take the state colour.
- **Percentile ladder** (optional) — where a finished day of each size (p25 /p50 / p75 / p90 of the lookback window) would top out, measured up fromtoday's low. Nearest-rank percentiles: every rung is a session range thatactually occurred, never an interpolation.
- **Dashboard** — distance left to (or past) typical in both price points andpercent, how many of the last N sessions ran wider than typical, and optional detail rows (range so far, typical range, percentile standing,widest/narrowest, envelope and ladder values). Compact by default; everycryptic cell explains itself on hover; the whole panel can be switched off.
###How it works###
- **Typical range is user-selectable**, and the chart always names the activestatistic:
- **ADR** — the average of the last N completed session ranges (high − low).
- **ATR RMA** — the average true range, so overnight gaps count. Seeded withthe first true range rather than an initial SMA, which is why it is labelled "ATR RMA" and will not match `ta.atr()` to the last digit. Under ATR the numerator is the live session's true range too, so the percentageis never a ratio of two different measures.
- **Median** — the middle completed session range, which is also theladder's p50 rung.
- The three are identical on a symbol that never gaps and diverge as gaps grow — on heavily gapping symbols ATR can run near 2.5× ADR. That is why the choice exists and why the active one is named on the chart.
- **Completed sessions only.** The live day never feeds its own denominator —a partial day would drag the typical range down as the day progressed and bias the percentage upward with no symptom. Statistics update when a session completes; the live day contributes only its running range.
- **One session rule for everything.** Regular hours or regular + extended:history and the live day follow the same rule, and if the filter cannot change anything on your chart (no extended-hours bars loaded), the dashboard says so instead of staying silent.
- **The sample is what your chart holds.** n is capped by the sessions actually loaded — roughly 64 completed regular-hours sessions on a 5-minute chart from 5,000 bars on a Basic plan, more on higher plans and higher timeframes. The dashboard shows the n actually in use, plus a spread figure ((p90 − p25) ÷ p50) that says whether recent sessions were similar in size
or mixed.
- Eleven plotted values sit in the Data Window (percentage, ranges, envelope percentiles, sample size and more), so every number on the panel can be read, checked and exported.
###How to use it###
1. Add it to a liquid intraday chart. The defaults are the intended reading: compact dashboard, ADR(20), regular hours.
2. Read the headline first. ROOM means the day is still small next to its recent finished sessions; OVER TYPICAL means it has already run further than a typical one.
3. Use the envelope as context for the day's remaining room under the stated conditions — the tooltip on every input spells those conditions out.
4. Turn on the ladder to see today against the whole recent distribution instead of one average: price between p50 and p75 means today has already matched a mid-sized finished day.
5. Hover the bottom row of the dashboard whenever a figure is unclear — the statistic, the sample and any active caveat (gap counted, filter inert, no completed session yet) are explained there.
###What it deliberately does not do###
**Realized range from OHLCV — not an implied or expected move.** Every number is measured from this chart's own price history. Nothing comes from options pricing, and the typical range describes completed sessions — a description of what happened, not a statement about what happens next.
- No alerts, no signals, no entries or exits.
- Counts stay counts — "Sessions over typical: 4 of last 20" describes this chart's history, and the indicator never converts a count into odds.
- The percentage is never capped at 100%, because a day past its typical range is the most informative reading the tool produces.
###Why it is original###
Range tools usually hand you one number (an ADR level pair) or one overlay (an ATR band). Range Budget treats the session range as a budget and reports its consumption: one percentage against a user-chosen, chart-named statistic, computed from completed sessions only, with its sample size, its spread and every degeneracy disclosed on the panel itself. The three statistics are not interchangeable and the tool is built around that fact rather than hiding it: the active one is named on the chart, the ATR path measures true range on both sides of the ratio, and the ladder shows the whole recent distribution so one average never has to stand in for it.

AlgoStorm Expected Move Levels (EML)AlgoStorm Expected Move Levels (EML)
A precision options-implied range mapping tool that plots daily and weekly ±1σ and ±2σ expected-move bands from the ATM straddle, from implied volatility, or from an automatic average-range fallback — with a live meter showing how much of the average daily and weekly range has already been consumed.
The AlgoStorm Expected Move Levels (EML) indicator is designed for index and futures traders who trade with the options market's own forecast. The at-the-money straddle is the market's priced bet on how far the underlying travels before expiry; the expected move derived from it defines the range the market is paid to defend. Gamma levels show where dealers defend — the expected move shows how far the market is priced to travel . Together they form the complete options-informed map for index futures, and EML is the second half of that pair.
DATA INPUT — READ BEFORE LOADING
This indicator carries no built-in options data feed. Setup is a single paste. Our free browser-based GEX dashboard includes an Expected Move calculator that auto-fills spot and the ATM straddle from delayed CBOE quotes and emits one CSV line — 1,anchor,dailyStraddle,weeklyStraddle,multiplier (example: 1,6350.25,44.30,94.80,0.85). Drop that line into the EM Data field and every value is populated at once; the leading 1 is a format version the script validates, so a malformed or mismatched paste is flagged on the chart instead of silently plotting nonsense.
Prefer to work from your own options chain? The Manual Entry group still accepts an ATM straddle price (call + put at the strike nearest spot) or an annualized implied-volatility figure, and a valid paste simply takes precedence over it. With the paste field empty and both manual inputs at zero, the script runs standalone on its average-range fallback, so it works out of the box. Refresh the paste once per session, before the open.
Symbol Mode: SPX / ES plots pasted values as-is — SPX options are struck at the same levels ES trades. SPY mode divides the pasted anchor and straddles by 10. Scaling is applied to pasted values only; manual entries are always read in chart units.
Technical Architecture: Triple-Source Expected Move Pipeline
Versioned Paste Decoder: One string input carries anchor, daily straddle, weekly straddle and multiplier — validated on version and field count, with every absent slot decoding to zero so it falls through to the manual entries and then to the range fallback. The info table reports whether the live values came from the paste, from manual entry, or from the automatic fallback.
Straddle Conversion Engine: EM(1σ) = ATM straddle × 0.85. A straddle's price is its expected payout; under a normal approximation, roughly 85% of that payout equals the 1σ price range. The multiplier is exposed as an input — set 1.0 to use the raw straddle convention instead. A pasted line carries its own multiplier and takes precedence; when using the paste workflow, adjust the multiplier on the dashboard before copying.
Volatility Mode: EM(daily) = anchor × IV × √(1/252) and EM(weekly) = anchor × IV × √(5/252), the trading-day convention. Useful when you track IV but not option prices.
Automatic Fallback Cascade: Any zeroed input degrades gracefully — daily falls back to the Average Daily Range (default 14 days), weekly to the Average Weekly Range (default 8 weeks), and a missing weekly straddle first derives from the daily straddle × √5. The info table always displays which source is live, so there is never ambiguity about what the bands represent.
Chart-Side Lock Engine: The script contains zero request.security calls. Anchors and bands compute from the chart's own session boundaries and lock at the day/week open — they cannot move intraday, and there is no repaint path by construction.
Range Consumption Meter: Completed daily and weekly ranges feed fixed-length rolling windows; the current period's range is expressed as a percentage of its average ("today has used 78% of its average range") — the continuation/exhaustion filter the EM bands are read with.
Features & Functionality
Daily Expected Move Bands: ±1σ and optional ±2σ steplines around a configurable anchor — prior close (the desk-quoting convention, default), today's open, or the spot price carried in the paste.
Weekly Expected Move Bands: The identical structure anchored at the weekly boundary, off by default for chart cleanliness.
Anchor Lines: Dimmed reference steplines marking the exact price the bands are centred on.
Live Info Table: Effective daily and weekly EM with source labels, ADR/AWR values, day/week range-consumption percentages that highlight when a range is fully spent, and an EM Data row reporting paste / manual / fallback status.
Symbol Mode: SPX / ES one-to-one, or SPY with pasted values auto-scaled ÷10 — a chart label confirms whenever scaling is active.
Alert Suite: Seven conditions — daily ±1σ break, daily ±2σ break (tail move), weekly ±1σ break, and ADR exhausted (day range reaches 100% of average). All fire on confirmed closes; a crossed band cannot move away afterward.
Honest limitations: the expected move is model context, not a boundary — roughly one day in three closes outside the ±1σ band by construction, because that is what 1σ means . Straddle and IV inputs are static: re-enter them when the session rolls or the volatility regime shifts. ADR/AWR use chart-session ranges, which on continuous futures include the overnight session — usually what you want on full-Globex instruments, but know your convention.

Average Daily Range ProjectionWHAT IT DOES
The Average Daily Range (ADR) Projection converts a historical average range into live price levels based on the range already realized during the current session.
Rather than anchoring fixed ADR bands to the session open or another single reference price, the indicator conditions each projection on the session's developing high and low. It answers a specific question: given the range already traded, where would price need to reach for this session to equal its recent average range?
Two independent sets let you compare separate baselines, such as the regular trading session versus the full futures session or a short lookback versus a longer one. This shows when price has satisfied one definition of its typical range while remaining below another.
CALCULATION
For each set, the indicator averages high minus low over up to the most recent N completed session windows. The ADR is fixed at the start of a new session; only the projected prices change as the current high and low develop. A partial session encountered when the script first loads is excluded.
Let ADR be the historical average, H the current session high, and L the current session low:
remaining = max(ADR - (H - L), 0)
upper projection = H + remaining
lower projection = L - remaining
Before the session has completed its ADR, these reduce to:
upper projection = L + ADR
lower projection = H - ADR
These are conditional range-completion thresholds. A new high raises the lower projection, while a new low lowers the upper projection. As realized range expands, the additional movement required to equal ADR decreases. A reached threshold freezes and is labeled FILLED.
HOW TO READ IT
An open projection marks the price that would complete the configured average range in that direction, assuming the opposite session extreme does not change first. Its distance from price represents remaining range relative to the benchmark, not a prediction that price will reach it.
A FILLED label means the session range has reached or exceeded that set's trailing mean. If one set is filled while the other remains open, the session has satisfied one baseline but not the other.
Previous-session lines may be retained to review completed thresholds on the selected instrument and timeframe.
INPUTS
ADR Period sets the maximum number of completed sessions in each average. During initial data collection, the indicator starts after one complete session and uses the available sample until the selected period is populated.
Session Start, Session End, and Timezone define each measurement window; overnight windows are supported. Set 1 and Set 2 may use different windows, ADR periods, and styling. Show Previous Sessions retains completed levels, while Max Previous Sessions limits their number. Other controls manage labels, first-fill emphasis, and the optional information table.
The default Pacific-time windows are:
Set 1: 06:30 to 13:55, 14-session ADR
Set 2: 15:00 to 13:55, 14-session ADR
ALERTS
Four alert conditions cover upper and lower fills for both sets.
LIMITATIONS AND CALCULATION BEHAVIOR
ADR is a trailing sample mean, not a percentile, confidence interval, forecast, or estimate of reversal probability. Reaching it does not establish that a move is rare, exhausted, or likely to reverse. Outliers and volatility-regime changes can materially affect the average.
The script does not use future data or lookahead and does not repaint completed levels from future information. Active projections intentionally update as the session high or low changes, including during an open realtime bar. Completed-session lines show final or filled levels, not every level occupied intraday. Label Offset moves labels to the right for readability only; it does not reference future prices.
Calculations use extended-hours data so a full-session window remains intact on a regular-hours chart. Results depend on the data supplied by the symbol's feed, and an off-chart fill may already be marked when the next visible bar opens.
Designed for intraday charts with standard candles. Synthetic chart types can produce ranges and alerts based on synthetic prices rather than actual traded OHLC values. 指标

HTF Candle TerminalTitle: HTF Candle Terminal: Advanced Institutional Volume & Range Engine
Description:
Welcome to the HTF Candle Terminal – a complete, institutional-grade toolkit designed to bridge the gap between Higher Timeframe (HTF) market structure and Lower Timeframe (LTF) execution.
This indicator acts as a real-time trading terminal directly on your chart, projecting higher timeframe data, volume clusters, volatility bands, and dynamic price zones so you never lose track of the macro trend while executing on the micro level.
What does it do?
Instead of switching back and forth between timeframes, the HTF Candle Terminal anchors itself to a Higher Timeframe of your choice (e.g., 4-Hour, Daily). Once a new HTF session begins, the terminal starts mapping the battlefield in real-time, calculating institutional volume, statistically probable ranges, and liquidity sweeps.
🔥 Core Features (A to Z)
1. Live HTF Candle Projection
To the right of the current price action, the indicator draws a live, constantly updating "Macro Candle." This gives you an instant visual representation of what the higher timeframe candle looks like (Open, High, Low, Close) without ever leaving your current chart. Accompanying the candle is a real-time trend status (e.g., "Very Strong Bullish" or "Bearish") based on how price is behaving relative to the HTF Open and Volume Nodes.
2. Dynamic Volume Profiling & POC (Point of Control)
The terminal tracks every drop of volume from the moment the HTF candle opens.
Bull/Bear Zones: It creates distinct bullish (above open) and bearish (below open) volume zones.
Split POC: It isolates the highest volume node for buyers (Short Line) and sellers (Long Line).
Zone Breakouts: If price decisively breaks and closes through a POC line from the opposite side, it invalidates that volume node, dynamically clearing the map to signal a strong directional shift.
Auto Row Size: The script includes an intelligent algorithm that automatically calculates the perfect row/tick size for the volume profile based on the volatility of the previous HTF candle.
3. Statistical Range Projections (Excursions)
How far did the last HTF candle travel from its open? The terminal mathematically measures the percentage expansion of the previous HTF candle and projects those exact percentages (e.g., +1.25%, -0.80%) onto the current candle's open. This gives you highly accurate, historically-backed target zones for the current session.
4. HTF ATR & ADR Projections (Volatility Boundaries)
Knowing where price should stop is just as important as knowing where it is going.
ATR (Average True Range): Projects the HTF's current True Range (+/- 0.5 ATR by default) from the open price, giving you realistic daily/session volatility boundaries.
ADR (Average Daily Range): Projects the chart's average daily movement anchored to the HTF open. When price hits these outer bands, it signals mathematical exhaustion—perfect for take-profit targeting or mean-reversion setups.
5. Liquidity Sweep Detection (PH & PL)
The script draws dashed lines representing the Previous HTF High (PH) and Previous HTF Low (PL). If the current price action pokes through these levels but fails to hold, the terminal instantly marks the chart with a precise "✖" label, alerting you to a potential liquidity sweep/hunt.
6. HTF Anchored VWAP
An optional (toggleable) Volume Weighted Average Price anchored precisely to the start of the HTF candle. This acts as the ultimate institutional "fair value" baseline. If price is above the VWAP, momentum is confirmed bullish; if below, bearish.
💡 How to Use the Terminal in Your Trading
Trade the Open: The most critical level is the dashed HTF Open line. Treat it as the equator. Longs above, shorts below.
Target the Extremes: Use the Excursion lines, ATR, and ADR bands as your primary Take-Profit (TP) zones. When price reaches these levels, the market is mathematically overextended.
Watch the POCs: The Bull and Bear POC lines act as heavy magnets. If price is returning to the open, watch for bounces off the POC. If a POC is broken, ride the momentum in the direction of the break.
Trade the Sweeps: Look for an "✖" marker at the PH or PL lines. A sweep combined with a rejection back into the HTF Open zone is one of the highest probability reversal setups available.
⚙️ Full Customization
Every element is built to be customized. Change the colors of the HTF candle, adjust global label sizes, toggle VWAP/ATR/ADR on or off, and tweak the transparency of historical boxes to keep your chart perfectly clean.
Developed with precision for structural and quantitative traders.

ADR percentage Completion Table Real-Time Daily Range Tracker ET📊 ADR % Completion Table
Track how much of the Average Daily Range (ADR) has been consumed in real time — works correctly on every timeframe from 1 minute to weekly.
─────────────────────────────────
🔍 WHAT IT DOES
─────────────────────────────────
This indicator calculates the 14-day Average Daily Range and compares it to the current day's high-to-low range, showing you exactly what percentage of the ADR has been reached so far today.
The daily session resets at 00:00 UTC-4 (New York midnight), making it ideal for forex, indices, and US equity traders.
─────────────────────────────────
📋 TABLE DISPLAY
─────────────────────────────────
- ADR (14d) — the average daily range over the last 14 completed days
- Day High / Day Low — intraday extremes since session open (00:00 UTC-4)
- Today Range — current high-to-low range in price points
- ADR % — percentage of ADR consumed (color-coded)
- Remaining — how many points are left to complete the ADR
─────────────────────────────────
🎨 COLOR CODING
─────────────────────────────────
🔘 Grey → 0–49% (early in the day)
🔵 Blue → 50–74% (halfway through)
🟠 Orange → 75–99% (nearing completion)
🟢 Green → 100%+ (ADR fully reached)
─────────────────────────────────
⚙️ SETTINGS
─────────────────────────────────
- ADR Lookback — customize the number of days (default: 14)
- Table Position — 8 placement options
- Text Size — Tiny to Huge
- Show/hide Day High & Low lines on the chart
─────────────────────────────────
✅ KEY FEATURES
─────────────────────────────────
✔ Timeframe-independent — ADR value is identical on 1m, 15m, 1h, 4h, and daily charts
✔ Session-accurate — day range always starts at 00:00 UTC-4 regardless of chart timezone
✔ Clean overlay table — no clutter, just the numbers that matter
✔ Works on all instruments — forex pairs, indices, stocks, futures, crypto
─────────────────────────────────
💡 HOW TO USE IT
─────────────────────────────────
When ADR % is low (grey/blue) early in the session, the market still has room to move. When it reaches orange or green, price has covered most or all of its expected daily range — useful for managing targets, avoiding late entries, and timing exits.
Best used alongside your existing strategy as a context filter, not a standalone signal.

ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily RangeThis indicator provides a clean and flexible way to monitor Average Daily Range (ADR) with two distinct calculation modes, along with visual levels and a detailed historical table.
Calculation Modes
- Classic Mode: Uses the standard daily candle range (high minus low of regular daily bars). This is the traditional daily range calculation.
- Midnight Mode: Calculates the daily range from midnight to midnight in America/New_York time. This provides a true calendar-day range independent of session opens.
You can switch between the two modes instantly using the dropdown in the settings. All table values, percentages, and 80% ADR levels update dynamically based on the selected mode.
The indicator plots the following levels from a session anchor point:
- Full ADR (above and below)
- 1/3 ADR (Judas levels)
- 80% ADR measured from the current daily high and low (two lines) - user selectable %
All lines are dynamically managed to avoid duplication and update cleanly as new sessions begin. Labels on the right side display price levels and can be toggled on or off.
Historical Table
A customizable table displays the following information for the selected number of days:
- Day or Date (user selectable)
- 5-Day ADR value for each historical day
- 80% of that day's 5-Day ADR
- Actual daily Range
- Percentage of the 5-Day ADR reached that day
The current/live row shows Today's Range compared against the active 5-Day ADR, including the percentage reached and the 80% target level. The table supports multiple sizes and positions.
Key Features
- Toggle between Classic and Midnight ADR calculations
- 80% ADR levels drawn from daily high and low
- Clean, non-duplicating horizontal lines and labels
- Historical data table with day/date, ADR, 80% ADR, Range, and percentage columns
- Adjustable styling, colors, text size, and visibility for all elements
- Option to plot levels from a session anchor or current price
This tool is designed for traders who want precise ADR-based levels with the flexibility to choose between standard daily ranges and strict midnight-to-midnight calculations. 指标
Auto Range / Lateral Consolidation Box DetectorAuto Range / Lateral Consolidation Box Detector
Overview
The Auto Range / Lateral Consolidation Box Detector is designed to automatically identify and draw price ranges where a stock is moving sideways after a prior advance.
Instead of manually drawing rectangle boxes around consolidation areas, this indicator detects them objectively using price containment, range width, prior trend movement, ADR, moving-average structure, and optional volume/RSI filters.
The purpose is to help traders identify:
lateral consolidations
tight launch shelves
continuation bases
range breakouts
failed ranges
breakout/retest zones
early momentum continuation structures
This tool is especially useful for traders who look for stocks that have already shown strength, pause in a controlled range, and then attempt to continue higher.
Core Concept
Many strong momentum moves do not happen randomly. They often follow a repeatable structure:
Prior advance → sideways range → breakout → continuation
This indicator attempts to locate that sideways range automatically.
The blue dashed boxes show detected consolidation zones. When price breaks above a completed range, the indicator can mark the breakout and preserve the prior box so the trader can review the structure historically.
The goal is not to predict breakouts blindly. The goal is to make range structure easier to detect, measure, and trade with defined risk.
What the Indicator Detects
The indicator identifies two main types of structures:
1. Standard Rectangle Range
This is a broader lateral consolidation that usually forms over a larger number of candles.
It is useful for detecting:
multi-week consolidations
continuation bases
sideways digestion after an advance
breakout/retest setups
controlled pullbacks above moving averages
A standard rectangle is best used when price has already advanced and then begins moving sideways in a defined box.
2. Tight Launch Shelf
This is a shorter, tighter range that often forms just before a momentum expansion.
It is useful for detecting:
short pauses near highs
high-tight continuation shelves
pre-breakout compression
momentum names that do not build long bases
stocks that pause briefly before expanding again
This feature was added because some of the strongest stocks do not consolidate for weeks. They may only pause for several sessions before breaking out.
How the Boxes Work
The indicator measures the range using completed prior candles only.
This is important because the breakout candle itself should not distort the range.
For example, if a stock breaks out above a tight rectangle, the breakout candle may be much larger than the range. If the script included that candle in the box calculation, it would make the range look wider than it actually was.
This script avoids that issue by asking:
“Before the current breakout candle, was there a valid sideways range?”
That allows the indicator to draw the actual consolidation area more accurately.

How I Use It in My Strategy
This indicator fits into a continuation-style trading strategy built around strength, structure, and timing.
The process is:
1. Find a stock with prior strength
I want to see that the stock has already proven demand.
That may include:
strong prior advance
relative strength versus the market
rising moving averages
reclaim or hold above the 200 SMA
improving volume profile
strong sector or theme participation
recent earnings, catalyst, or institutional attention
The indicator is not used to find random sideways stocks. It is used to find sideways ranges after strength has already appeared.
2. Let the stock build a range
Once a stock has moved, I want to see whether it can hold gains.
A clean range tells me:
buyers are defending higher prices
sellers are not fully taking control
price is digesting instead of collapsing
moving averages may be catching up
risk can be defined around the box
This is where the auto box becomes useful.
Instead of manually drawing every range, the indicator highlights areas where price is compressing or consolidating.
3. Use the box for trade planning
The box gives me three major trade locations:
Trade LocationUse CaseRange lowSupport-defense entryRange highBreakout triggerBreakout retestPreferred continuation entry
I generally do not want to enter randomly in the middle of the box unless I have another strong reason.
The best trades usually come from:
range-low defense,
breakout through range high,
or breakout followed by a retest that holds.
4. Confirm with other tools
This indicator identifies structure, but it is not a standalone buy signal.
Before taking a trade, I still want confirmation from:
relative strength
catalyst/news/earnings context
sector/theme strength
ADR/movement potential
volume expansion
VWAP/AVWAP location
volume profile levels
option-chain liquidity if using options
broader market regime
The box tells me where the trade may be forming.
The rest of the process tells me whether it deserves capital.
How Other Traders Can Use It
This indicator can be adapted to several trading styles.
Momentum Traders
Momentum traders can use it to identify stocks that are pausing after a strong move and preparing for another push.
Best use:
breakout above range high
breakout with volume
tight launch shelf breakouts
high-relative-volume names
strong sector/theme participation
Swing Traders
Swing traders can use it to locate multi-day or multi-week continuation bases.
Best use:
buy breakout/retest
enter near range support with defined risk
use the box low as invalidation
use the box height for measured-move targets
combine with daily/weekly trend structure
Breakout Traders
Breakout traders can use the box high as an objective breakout level.
Best use:
price closes above the range high
volume expands above average
range is not too wide
stock is above key moving averages
market regime supports continuation
Mean-Reversion Traders
Mean-reversion traders can use the range boundaries in the opposite way.
Best use:
fade weak breakouts back into the range
buy range low if buyers defend
sell/avoid failed range highs
use the midpoint as a decision level
Position Traders
Position traders can use detected boxes as add zones during a larger trend.
Best use:
add after a valid base forms above rising moving averages
trail risk below higher base lows
identify where trend continuation is being accepted
avoid adding after emotional vertical moves without digestion

For strong momentum stocks, I prefer leaving RSI control flexible because strong names can remain elevated before breaking out.
Require Price Above 200 SMA
When enabled, the script only accepts ranges where price is above the 200 SMA.
This is useful for trend-following and continuation strategies.
Turn this off if you want to scan:
bottoming structures
early reversals
200 SMA reclaim attempts
accumulation ranges below the 200 SMA
Require Prior Advance
When enabled, the script requires price to have moved up before forming the range.
This is best for continuation traders.
Turn this off if you want to study:
accumulation bases
bottoming ranges
reversal setups
sideways structures before a first move
Require Volume Control
When enabled, the range must have controlled volume relative to average volume.
This helps filter out chaotic ranges.
However, for volatile small caps or active momentum names, I often leave this off because strong stocks can consolidate with active volume.
Require RSI Control
When enabled, RSI must remain within the selected range.
This can help avoid weak or overextended setups.
However, momentum leaders can remain strong for longer than expected, so this setting is optional depending on the strategy.
Setup Score
The label displays an Auto Range Score out of 10.
The score considers:
prior move
price above 200 SMA
containment inside the range
range width versus ADR
volume behavior
OBV behavior
RSI condition
ADR level
The score is not a buy signal. It is a structure-quality score.
General interpretation:

Trading Notes
A detected box is only a location tool.
It does not replace:
market regime analysis
risk management
catalyst research
relative strength checks
liquidity checks
options-chain review
trade planning
The highest-quality setups usually combine:
strong prior move + clean box + range containment + volume expansion on breakout + supportive market conditions.
Risk Management
The box can help define risk.
Common invalidation methods:
stop below range low
stop below breakout candle low
stop below retest low
stop below rising 20 EMA or 50 SMA
exit if breakout fails back into range
avoid if price breaks below the box with volume
The cleanest setups are usually those where the box gives a tight, logical invalidation level.

Description & user manual
Credits
The weekly psychological level calculation in this indicator is based on open-source code originally published on TradingView. The original script was created by plasmapug. Continued development was done by infernixx, Peshocore, and xtech5192 in collaboration with TradersReality. Significant modifications have been made to integrate this component into the Compass framework.
Why this indicator is different
Most indicators answer one question. A moving average tells you the trend direction. An oscillator tells you momentum. A session box tells you the time. A volume indicator tells you participation. Each one is useful. None of them tells you where you are.
Before placing a trade, a trader needs to answer several questions simultaneously. What session is active and what does that mean for the type of price action to expect? Where does the macro trend stand? Is volume confirming the move or contradicting it? Are there open imbalances nearby that price may return to? How much of the day's expected range has already been consumed? Where are the key structural levels — pivots, the daily open, prior week references?
Answering each of these questions separately requires stacking tool after tool until the chart becomes unreadable. Compass answers all of them at once.
It is not a signal indicator. It does not fire arrows or tell you when to buy or sell. What it does is something more fundamental: it gives you a complete read of the market environment before any decision is made. Sessions, trend, volume, imbalances, range levels, pivots, psychological references — all in one overlay, all configurable, all on one chart.
The design philosophy is orientation first. Decision second. Compass tells you where you are. What you do with that is your responsibility.

1. Overview
Compass is a comprehensive market context indicator that combines eleven independent analysis frameworks into one unified overlay. Every component is individually toggleable. Six presets are included for different trading styles, from fast scalping to full multi-component analysis.
What it includes:
- Five-EMA suite with adaptive cloud around the EMA 50
- EMA crossover system with configurable signals and candle coloring
- Stochastic RSI background alerts with four alert types and RSI divergence detection
- PVSRA volume vector candle analysis with zone tracking and configurable thresholds
- Eight global market sessions with automatic DST awareness
- Average daily, weekly, and monthly range levels with 50% midpoints
- Classic pivot points with mid-point levels
- Daily open reference line with historical opens
- Fair value gap detection with partial absorption tracking
- Weekly psychological level tracking
- Live dashboard with eighteen data points across all active components
2. EMA suite
Five exponential moving averages are plotted simultaneously: EMA 5, EMA 13, EMA 50, EMA 200, and EMA 800. Together they cover short-term momentum, medium-term trend direction, macro trend, and long-term structural bias.
The EMA 50 is wrapped in a dynamic cloud calculated from two standard deviations of price. The cloud expands during volatility and contracts during consolidation. A widening cloud indicates active price discovery. A thinning cloud indicates equilibrium or compression before a directional move.
The EMA 200 is the primary macro bias filter. Price above it defines a broadly bullish environment. Price below it defines a broadly bearish environment. This is shown in the dashboard at all times.
The EMA 800 provides long-term structural context, particularly useful on mid to higher timeframes where it marks the gravitational center of multi-month price structure.
All five EMA lengths are configurable. Each has individual color and transparency controls. An EMA label option displays the current value at the right edge of each line.
3. EMA cross system
The EMA cross tracks a configurable fast EMA crossing a configurable slow EMA and marks the crossover bar. All candles after a cross continue in the direction of that cross until the opposite cross fires.
Three display modes are available: show both the fast and slow EMA lines, show a single consolidated EMA line, or hide the EMA lines entirely while keeping the crossover signals visible.
This component is a trend state indicator, not a trade trigger. A bull cross does not mean buy. It means the short-term trend has shifted upward relative to the medium-term average.
Signals and candle coloring can be toggled independently.
4. Stochastic RSI
The stochastic RSI component runs a standard stochastic RSI calculation and generates background color alerts based on crossover conditions at configurable band levels.
Four alert types are available, each independently toggleable:
Middle band crossover — K line crosses D line near the 50 level. Indicates a possible trend shift in momentum.
Overbought/oversold crossover — K line crosses D line from overbought or oversold territory. Indicates a potential reversal from an extreme.
Entering overbought — K line crosses above the upper band. Indicates that momentum has moved into overbought territory.
Entering oversold — K line crosses below the lower band. Indicates that momentum has moved into oversold territory.
The dashboard displays the current stochastic RSI state and the RSI value. RSI appears in green when above the midline and in red when below. Regular bullish and bearish divergence is detected automatically and shown in the dashboard as a directional label. When divergence is active, a thin reference line appears on the price chart marking the divergence candles.
5. PVSRA volume vector analysis
PVSRA analysis colors candles based on volume relative to the 10-bar average and the relationship between volume and candle spread.
Four vector types:
Green vector — bullish bar where volume is at or above the green/red threshold (default 200% of the 10-bar average), or where volume multiplied by spread is the highest of the last 10 bars. Indicates strong bullish institutional participation.
Red vector — same conditions on a bearish bar. Indicates strong bearish institutional participation.
Blue vector — bullish bar where volume is at or above the blue/violet threshold (default 150% of average). Indicates elevated bullish volume below the institutional threshold.
Violet vector — same conditions on a bearish bar. Indicates elevated bearish volume.
Grey — no vector conditions met. Normal volume.
Both thresholds are configurable directly from the settings panel. Blue and violet signals are strictly exclusive from green and red — a bar cannot qualify for both simultaneously.
Vector candle zones draw boxes at each vector candle location and remain active until price moves through the zone, marking areas where elevated institutional activity was detected at the time the candle formed.
The PVSRA override input allows a different symbol to be used for the volume calculation. This is useful when the charted instrument has unreliable volume data, such as CFDs, perpetual swaps, or instruments where the primary volume is on a related market.
6. Market sessions
Eight global trading sessions are tracked simultaneously, each with automatic DST awareness. Sessions are displayed as expanding boxes with high and low lines and a real-time label showing the session open.
Sessions included:
- London: 08:00–16:30 UTC
- New York: 14:30–21:00 UTC
- Tokyo: 00:00–06:00 UTC
- Hong Kong: 01:30–08:00 UTC
- Sydney: 22:00–06:00 UTC
- EU brinks: 08:00–09:00 UTC
- US brinks: 14:00–15:00 UTC
- Frankfurt: 07:00–16:30 UTC
DST is handled automatically for London, New York, and Sydney. No manual adjustment is needed. Each session can be toggled individually, and box color, transparency, and label color are fully configurable per session.
Session context matters because market behavior differs significantly depending on which participants are active. London and New York overlap produces the highest volume and fastest price movement. Tokyo and Sydney sessions tend to consolidate. The brinks windows mark the transition periods where session highs and lows often form.
7. Range levels
Three statistical range frameworks measure the expected price range for the current period based on historical averages.
Average daily range (ADR) — the expected high and low for the current trading day. When price reaches the ADR level, the day's expected range has been consumed. Moves beyond the ADR are extension moves that occur with lower statistical probability and often mean-revert. The dashboard shows ADR % used — how much of today's expected range has already been consumed. Above 80% indicates the day is approaching its expected limit.
Average weekly range (AWR) — the same concept applied to the current week. Useful for assessing how much room the week has left to move.
Average monthly range (AMR) — the same concept applied to the current month. Provides macro context for position sizing and target expectations.
Each framework includes a 50% midpoint level marking the center of the expected range. The ADR measure from daily open option calculates the range starting from that day's open price rather than the statistical high, making the levels static for the entire day.
All three frameworks have individual lookback period inputs, color controls, line styles, and label toggles.
8. Pivot points
Classic pivot points are calculated from the prior day's high, low, and close. Levels include PP, R1/S1, R2/S2, R3/S3, and M mid-point levels between each major level.
Pivot points provide structural reference for the current session. Price above PP defines a broadly bullish day structure. R levels act as potential resistance targets. S levels act as potential support targets. M levels provide intermediate precision references between major pivots.
All levels can be toggled individually. Lines extend rightward from the prior session and can optionally extend in both directions. Each level has individual color and line style controls.
9. Daily open
A horizontal line marks the current day's opening price. This is one of the most referenced structural levels among short-term traders because it defines the starting point for the day's price discovery.
Price above the daily open reflects a bullish session bias. Price below reflects a bearish session bias. When price oscillates around the daily open without committing direction, the session is in balance — a lower probability environment for trend trades.
Historical daily opens can optionally be shown as reference for prior day context.
10. Fair value gaps
A fair value gap is a three-bar imbalance where price moved through a range without leaving two-sided trade — the low of the upper candle is above the high of the lower candle (bullish gap) or vice versa (bearish gap). These areas represent unfinished business where the market may return to achieve balance.
Gaps are filtered by a minimum width threshold expressed as a multiple of ATR. Gaps narrower than the threshold are excluded. Partial absorption is tracked — as price returns into the gap, the fill color changes to show how much of the imbalance has been recovered.
Fully mitigated gaps can be kept on the chart as historical reference or deleted automatically to maintain a clean view.
11. Psychological levels
Weekly psychological levels mark the prior week's high and low as calculated by a specific session-anchored method. These levels represent deliberate structural references where participants have previously committed size — breakouts and rejections around these levels tend to be more intentional than random price noise.
Three GMT offset options accommodate the session anchor calculation for different global market structures. Two mode options are available: crypto (weekly reset on Saturday Sydney open) and forex (weekly reset on Monday Tokyo open).

13. Dashboard reference
The dashboard provides eighteen live data points across all active components:
Session — the currently active market session.
EMA cross — current EMA cross direction: bull or bear.
EMA 200 — whether price is above or below the EMA 200.
Stoch RSI — current stochastic RSI condition.
RSI — current RSI value, colored green above midline and red below.
RSI divergence — active bullish or bearish divergence, or none.
PVSRA — current candle vector type.
ADR % used — how much of today's expected daily range has been consumed.
FVG active — count of open unmitigated fair value gaps and mitigation percentage.
Psy level — whether price is above or below the prior week's psychological level.
Timezone — active session timezone setting.
VCZ active — count of active vector candle zones above and below current price.
Pivot PP — current pivot point value.
Daily open — current daily open price and direction.
14. How to use
14.1 Initial setup
Select a preset that matches your primary trading style. Adjust the session timezone to match your location or your primary exchange. If you trade an instrument with unreliable volume data, enable the PVSRA override and set it to a correlated liquid instrument. Set the ADR lookback period to your preference — 14 days is a standard starting point. For FVGs, set the width filter to 0.5 or higher to exclude minor gaps.
14.2 Reading the dashboard
The dashboard is the fastest way to orient yourself on a new chart or a new session. Check session, EMA cross direction, EMA 200 position, stoch RSI state, and ADR consumed before anything else. Five seconds to a full picture of where the market stands.
14.3 Reading the chart
Check EMA alignment. When EMA 13, EMA 50, and EMA 200 are stacked in the same direction, the trend is more significant than a single crossover. Divergence between them reflects a transition or competing timeframe pressures.
Check ADR percentage. Below 50% means the day has statistical room to move. Above 80% means the day is near its expected limit and extension moves are less probable.
Look for open FVGs near current price. An unmitigated FVG in the direction of the prevailing trend is a precision reference area where price has historically returned.
Check the psy level. If price is approaching the prior week's high or low, be aware that participant behavior around those references tends to be deliberate.
14.4 Timeframe guide
1 minute to 3 minutes — clean scalper preset, candle coloring set to EMA cross.
5 minutes to 15 minutes — clean scalper or signal focus preset.
30 minutes to 1 hour — full context preset, use ADR and pivot points.
4 hours to daily — full context or minimal preset.
14.5 Tips
PVSRA override — use when your broker's volume data is unreliable, when you trade a CFD or derivative with synthetic volume, or when you want spot market volume for a futures chart.
Master opacity offset — adding 10 to 20 increases overall transparency and dims the chart if it feels cluttered. Subtracting 10 to 20 makes all elements more prominent. This shifts all transparency values simultaneously without changing individual settings. Only active in custom preset.
Not every component needs to be active at once. Most traders will find three to four components provide the context they need for their specific setup.

Entry Gate - ADR% / ADV / ATR MultipleThree critical pre-trade filters, always visible right on your chart.
Before entering any swing trade, three questions determine whether the setup is even worth considering: is this stock volatile enough to move my account, is it liquid enough to trade cleanly, and is it too extended to enter now? Entry Gate answers all three at a glance, in a single corner of your chart.
ADR% (Average Daily Range) measures how much a stock moves on an average day. Too low and it won't move your portfolio. Too high and daily noise will stop you out randomly.
ADV (Average Dollar Volume) measures how much money flows through the stock each day. Liquid stocks respect key levels, pull back cleanly to moving averages, and don't gap on low volume. Illiquid stocks do the opposite.
ATR Multiple measures how extended the price is above its 50-day moving average, expressed in ATR units. The further extended, the higher the probability of a pause or reversal. Based on jfsrev's published formula: % Gain from MA divided by ATR%.
ATR% rounds out the dashboard with the raw volatility number for context.
All values are color-coded against your thresholds:
🟢 Green — within your ideal range
🟠 Orange — borderline, proceed with caution
🔴 Red — outside your criteria
A yellow dot also plots above the bar when the ATR Multiple exceeds your trigger level, marking historically extended zones at a glance.
Fully customizable:
Independent thresholds for ADR%, ADV, and ATR Multiple
Warning zones for borderline values
Lookback periods for each calculation
Font size, table position, dot size and offset
Color customization for good / warning / bad / ATR / dot
All values are pulled from the daily timeframe via request.security, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're on a daily, weekly, or intraday chart.
Default thresholds are calibrated for swing traders running mid-sized accounts. Adjust to match your strategy.

Average Daily Range Percentage (ADR%) and Average Daily VolumeTwo critical pre-trade filters, always visible right on your chart.
Before entering any swing trade, you need to know two things: is this stock volatile enough to move your account, and is it liquid enough to trade cleanly? This indicator answers both questions at a glance.
**ADR% (Average Daily Range)** measures how much a stock moves on an average day. Too low and it won't move your portfolio. Too high and the daily noise will stop you out randomly. The color tells you where you stand instantly.
**ADV (Average Dollar Volume)** measures how much money flows through the stock each day. Liquid stocks respect key levels, pull back cleanly to moving averages, and don't gap randomly on low volume. Illiquid stocks do the opposite.
Both values are color-coded against your thresholds:
🟢 Green — within your ideal range
🟠 Orange — borderline, proceed with caution
🔴 Red — outside your criteria, skip it
Fully customizable:
ADR% and ADV thresholds
Warning zones for borderline values
Lookback periods for both calculations
Colors for good, warning, and bad values
Default thresholds are calibrated for swing traders. Adjust to match your account size and risk tolerance.

Average Daily Range by BlemAverage Daily Range (ADR) Indicator
Displays the Average Daily Range of any instrument directly on your chart as a clean, screen-anchored overlay — accurate on any timeframe from 1-minute to weekly.
What it shows:
1. Average Daily Range — the N-day average of daily high-low ranges (default 14 days)
2. ADR Remaining — how much of today's average range is still uncovered, useful for setting intraday targets (optional, can be toggled off)
How it works:
ADR is calculated using actual daily candle data regardless of the timeframe you are viewing, so the value is always consistent and accurate.
Fully customizable:
• ADR lookback period
• Screen position (9 combinations — top/middle/bottom × left/center/right)
• Background color, text color, text size
• ADR Remaining color thresholds (green when range remains, red when nearly exhausted)
• Toggle ADR Remaining on/off
How to use:
Traders use ADR to understand how much movement to expect in a session. When ADR Remaining is high, there is still room for the move to continue. When it approaches zero, the daily range is nearly complete and momentum may fade.
ADR is a statistical generalization based on past price behavior.
On any given day, price may fall short of the average, or exceed it significantly. It should never be treated as a guaranteed target or a hard boundary.
Use it as a general reference for expected daily movement, not as a precise prediction. 指标
