Breakout
Universal Breakout Strategy [KedArc Quant]Description:
A flexible breakout framework where you can test different logics (Prev Day, Bollinger, Volume, ATR, EMA Trend, RSI Confirm, Candle Confirm, Time Filter) under one system.
Choose your breakout mode, and the strategy will handle entries, exits, and optional risk management (ATR stops, take-profits, daily loss guard, cooldowns).
An on-chart info table shows live mode values (like Prev High/Low, Bollinger levels, RSI, etc.) plus P&L stats for quick analysis.
Use it to compare which breakout style works best on your instrument and timeframe, whether intraday, swing, or positional trading
🔑 Why it’s useful
* Flexibility: Switch between breakout strategies without loading different indicators.
* Clarity: On-chart info table displays current mode, relevant indicator levels, and live strategy P&L stats.
* Testing efficiency: Quickly A/B test different breakout styles under the same backtest environment.
* Transparency: Every trade is rule-based and displayed with entry/exit markers.
🚀 How it helps traders
* Lets you experiment with breakout strategies quickly without loading multiple scripts.
* Helps identify which breakout method fits your instrument & timeframe.
* Gives clear on-chart visual + statistical feedback for confident decision-making.
⚙️ Input Configuration
* Breakout Mode → choose which strategy to test:
* *Prev Day* → breakouts of yesterday’s High/Low.
* *Bollinger* → Upper/Lower BB pierce.
* *Volume* → Breakout confirmed with volume above average.
* *ATR Stop* → Wide range breakout using ATR filter.
* *Time Filter* → Breakouts inside defined session hours.
* *EMA Trend* → Breakouts only in EMA fast > slow alignment.
* *RSI Confirm* → Breakouts with RSI confirmation (e.g. >55 for longs).
* *Candle Confirm* → Breakouts validated by bullish/bearish candle.
* Lookback / ATR / Bollinger inputs → adjust sensitivity.
* Intrabar mode → option to evaluate breakouts using bar highs/lows instead of closes.
* Table options → show/hide info table, show/hide P&L stats, choose corner placement.
📈 Entry & Exit Logic
* Entry → occurs when breakout condition of chosen mode is met.
* Exit → default exits via opposite signals or optional stop/target if enabled.
* Session filter → optional auto-flat at session end.
* P&L management → optional daily loss guard, cooldown between trades, and ATR-based stop/take profit.
❓ FAQ — Choosing the best setup
Q: Which strategy should I use for which chart?
* *Prev Day Breakouts*: Best on indices, FX, and liquid futures with strong daily levels.
* *Bollinger*: Works well in range-bound environments, or crypto pairs with volatility compression.
* *Volume*: Good on equities where breakout strength is tied to volume spikes.
* *ATR Stop*: Suits volatile instruments (commodities, crypto).
* *EMA Trend*: Useful in trending markets (stocks, indices).
* *RSI Confirm*: Adds momentum filter, better for swing trades.
* *Candle Confirm*: Ideal for scalpers needing visual confirmation.
* *Time Filter*: For intraday traders who want signals only in high-liquidity sessions.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
* Intraday traders → 5m to 15m (Time Filter, Candle Confirm).
* Swing traders → 1H to 4H (EMA Trend, RSI Confirm, ATR Stop).
* Position traders → Daily (Prev Day, Bollinger).
* Breakout
A trade entry condition triggered when price crosses above a resistance level (for longs) or below a support level (for shorts).
* Prev Day High/Low
Formula:
Prev High = High of (Day )
Prev Low = Low of (Day )
* Bollinger Bands
Formula:
Basis = SMA(Close, Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
Lower Band = Basis – (Multiplier × StdDev(Close, Length))
* Volume Confirmation
A breakout is only valid if:
Volume > SMA(Volume, Length)
* ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility.
Formula:
ATR = SMA(True Range, Length)
where True Range = max(High–Low, |High–Close |, |Low–Close |)
* EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
Weighted moving average giving more weight to recent prices.
Formula:
EMA = (Price × α) + (EMA × (1–α))
with α = 2 / (Length + 1)
* RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Momentum oscillator scaled 0–100.
Formula:
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Avg(Gain, Length) ÷ Avg(Loss, Length)
* Candle Confirmation
Bullish candle: Close > Open AND Close > Close
Bearish candle: Close < Open AND Close < Close
Win Rate (%)
Formula:
Win Rate = (Winning Trades ÷ Total Trades) × 100
* Average Trade P&L
Formula:
Avg Trade = Net Profit ÷ Total Trades
📊 Performance Notes
The Universal Breakout Strategy is designed as a framework rather than a single-asset optimized system. Results will vary depending on the chart, timeframe, and asset chosen.
On the current defaults (15-minute, INR-denominated example), the backtest produced 132 trades over the selected period. This provides a statistically sufficient sample size.
Win rate (~35%) is relatively low, but this is balanced by a positive reward-to-risk ratio (~1.8). In practice, a lower win rate with larger wins versus smaller losses is sustainable.
The average P&L per trade is close to breakeven under default settings. This is expected, as the strategy is not tuned for a single symbol but offered as a universal breakout framework.
Commissions (0.1%) and slippage (1 tick) are included in the simulation, ensuring realistic conditions.
Risk management is conservative, with order sizing set at 1 unit per trade. This avoids over-leveraging and keeps exposure well under the 5-10% equity risk guideline.
👉 Traders are encouraged to:
Experiment with inputs such as ATR period, breakout length, or Bollinger parameters.
Test across different timeframes and instruments (equities, futures, forex, crypto) to find optimal setups.
Combine with filters (trend direction, volatility regimes, or volume conditions) for further refinement.

Power Hour Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Power Hour Breakout tool helps traders identify key price levels from the Power Hour and spot breakouts from those levels easily. This tool features Power Hour extensions, Fibonacci levels, and session break marks for the trader's convenience.
🔶 USAGE
The Power Hour is defined as the last hour of the trading session and is set by default from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. New York time. During this period, volume and volatility enter the market. Traders using higher timeframes may use this period to enter or exit positions by placing MOC (Market on Close) orders.
This tool highlights the Power Hour and the top and bottom price levels. Each time prices break out from these levels, a signal is displayed on the chart.
We can use the Power Hour to gauge market sentiment:
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the Power Hour.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the Power Hour.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the Power Hour.
🔹 Displaying Power Hours and Breakouts
By default, all detected Power Hours are displayed. Traders can manually adjust this number by disabling the "Display All" parameter in the Settings panel.
Breakouts are displayed by default, too, but this feature can be disabled as well.
The chart above shows different configurations of these parameters.
🔹 Power Hour Extensions
Traders can use Power Hour extensions as potential targets for breakout signals.
In the settings panel, traders can select the percentage of the Power Hour price range to use for each extension. For example, 100% uses the full range, 200% uses the range twice, and so on.
As seen on the chart, traders can configure different percentages for the top and bottom extensions.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the Power Hour range to identify retracement opportunities and evaluate market movement strength. Each level can be enabled or disabled, as well as customized by level, color, and line style.
For example, as we can see on the chart, prices attempt to break out at the Power Hour top level, then retrace to the 0.618 Fibonacci level, and then rise to the 200% Power Hour top extension.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display Last X Power Hours: Select how many Power Hours to display or enable the Display All feature.
Power Hour (NY Time): Choose a custom Power Hour in New York time.
🔹 Breakouts

Initial Balance Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Initial Balance Breakout Signals help traders identify breakouts of the Initial Balance (IB) range.
The indicator includes automatic detection of IB or can use custom sessions, highlights top and bottom IB extensions, custom Fibonacci levels, and goes further with an IB forecast with two different modes.
🔶 USAGE
The initial balance is the price range made within the first hour of the trading session. It is an intraday concept based on the idea that high volume and volatility enter the market through institutional trading at the start of the session, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
The initial balance is useful for gauging market sentiment, or, in other words, the relationship between buyers and sellers.
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the IB range.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the IB range.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the IB range.
The initial balance high and low are important levels that many traders use to gauge sentiment. There are two main ideas behind trading around the IB range.
IB Extreme Breakout: When the price breaks and holds the IB high or low, there is a high probability that the price will continue in that direction.
IB Extreme Rejection: When the price tries to break those levels but fails, there is a high probability that it will reach the opposite IB extreme.
This indicator is a complete Initial Balance toolset with custom sessions, breakout signals, IB extensions, Fibonacci retracements, and an IB forecast. All of these features will be explained in the following sections.
🔹 Custom Sessions and Signals
By default, sessions for Initial Balance and breakout signals are in Auto mode. This means that Initial Balance takes the first hour of the trading session and shows breakout signals for the rest of the session.
With this option, traders can use the tool for open range trading, making it highly versatile. The concept behind open range (OR) is the same as that of initial balance (IB), but in OR, the range is determined by the first minute, three or five minutes, or up to the first 30 minutes of the trading session.
As shown in the image above, the top chart uses the Auto feature for the IB and Breakouts sessions. The bottom chart has the Auto feature disabled to use custom sessions for both parameters. In this case, the first three minutes of the trading session are used, turning the tool into an Open Range trading indicator.
This chart shows another example of using custom sessions to display overnight NASDAQ futures sessions.
The left chart shows a custom session from the Tokyo open to the London open, and the right chart shows a custom session from the London open to the New York open.
The chart shows both the Asian and European sessions, their top and bottom extremes, and the breakout signals from those extremes.
🔹 Initial Balance Extensions
Traders can easily extend both extremes of the Initial Balance to display their preferred targets for breakouts. Enable or disable any of them and set the IB percentage to use for the extension.
As the chart shows, the percentage selected on the settings panel directly affects the displayed levels.
Setting 25 means the tool will use a quarter of the detected initial balance range for extensions beyond the IB extremes. Setting 100 means the full IB range will be used.
Traders can use these extensions as targets for breakout signals.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the IB range to trade retracements and assess the strength of market movements. Each level can be enabled or disabled and customized by level, color, and line style.
As we can see on the chart, after the IB was completed, prices were unable to fall below the 0.236 Fibonacci level. This indicates significant bullish pressure, so it is expected that prices will rise.
Traders can use these levels as guidelines to assess the strength of the side trying to penetrate the IB. In this case, the sellers were unable to move the market beyond the first level.
🔹 Initial Balance Forecast
The tool features two different forecasting methods for the current IB. By default, it takes the average of the last ten values and applies a multiplier of one.
IB Against Previous Open: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the previous session.
Filter by current day of the week: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the current session for the same day of the week.
This feature allows traders to see the difference between the current IB and the average of the last IBs. It makes it very easy to interpret: if the current IB is higher than the average, buyers are in control; if it is lower than the average, sellers are in control.
For example, on the left side of the chart, we can see that the last day was very bullish because the IB was completely above the forecasted value. This is the IB mean of the last ten trading days.
On the right, we can see that on Monday, September 15, the IB traded slightly higher but within the forecasted value of the IB mean of the last ten Mondays. In this case, it is within expectations.
🔶 SETTINGS
Display Last X IBs: Select how many IBs to display.
Initial Balance: Choose a custom session or enable the Auto feature.
Breakouts: Enable or disable breakouts. Choose custom session or enable the Auto feature.
🔹 Extensions

SMC BOS - Structure Breaks & Median Continuation ProjectionsThis tool shows what usually happens after a Break of Structure (BOS).
It scans past BOS events on your chart, finds the ones most similar to the latest break (using ATR to filter by volatility), and then plots the median continuation path.
Optional percentile bands (P10–P90) display the possible range of outcomes around the median.
Key features:
• Automatic detection of bullish and bearish BOS events
• Library of past BOS with adjustable size and spacing
• ATR-based similarity and recency weighting
• Median continuation projections with optional percentile bands
• Customizable colors, signals, and stats table
• Works on any market and timeframe
Use cases:
• See how price typically behaves after a BOS
• Support SMC analysis with data-driven projections
• Improve trade planning by visualizing likely continuations
• Apply across crypto, forex, stocks, and futures
Originality:
Instead of only marking BOS, this script learns from history and projects forward the median path of the most similar past cases, adjusted for volatility. It turns BOS signals into practical continuation scenarios.
Instructions:
Add the indicator to your chart. When a BOS is detected, the projection is drawn automatically.
Use the settings to adjust the library, ATR weighting, projection style, percentile bands, and the display of signals or stats.

ORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — fixedORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — Listing copy (EN)
What it is
A clean, non-repainting intraday tool that fuses the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with a session-anchored VWAP filter for London and New York. It highlights only the higher-quality breakouts (above/below session VWAP), adds an optional retest confirmation, and scores each signal with an intuitive Confidence metric (0–100).
Why it works
• ORB provides the day’s first actionable structure (range high/low).
• Session VWAP filters “cheap” breaks and favors flows aligned with session value.
• Optional retest reduces first-tick whipsaws.
• Confidence blends breakout depth (vs ATR), VWAP slope and band distance.
Key visuals
• LDN/NY OR High/Low (line break style) + optional OR boxes.
• Active Session VWAP (resets per signal window; falls back to daily VWAP outside).
• Optional VWAP bands (stdev or %).
• Session shading (London/NY windows).
• Signal markers (LDN BUY/SELL, NY BUY/SELL) fired with cooldown.
Signals
• London Long / Short: Break of LDN OR High/Low ± ATR buffer, aligned with VWAP side.
• NY Long / Short: Same logic during NY window.
• Retest (optional): Requires a tag back to the OR level ± tolerance before confirmation.
• Confidence: 0–100; gate via Min Confidence (default 55).
Inputs that matter
• Open Range Length (min): Default 15.
• London/NY times & timezones.
• ATR buffer & retest tolerance.
• Bands mode: Stdev (with lookback) or % (e.g., 1%).
• Signal cooldown: Avoids clutter on fast moves.
Non-repaint policy
• OR lines build within fixed time windows using the current bar’s timestamp.
• VWAP is cumulative within the session window; no lookahead.
• All ta.crossover/ta.crossunder are precomputed every bar (no conditional execution).
• Signals are based on live bar values, not future bars.
⸻
Quick start (examples)
1) EURUSD, London momentum
• Chart: 5m or 15m.
• OR: 15 min starting 08:00 Europe/London.
• Signals: Use defaults; keep ATR buffer = 0.2 and Retest = ON, Min Confidence ≥ 55.
• Play:
• BUY when price breaks LDN OR High + buffer and stays above VWAP; retest confirms.
• Trail behind VWAP or band #1; partials into band #2.
2) NAS100, New York breakout & run
• Chart: 5m.
• NY window: 09:30 America/New_York, OR = 15 min.
• Retest OFF on high momentum days; Min Confidence ≥ 60.
• Use band mode Stdev, bandLen=50, show ±1/±2.
• Momentum continuation: add on pullbacks that hold above VWAP after the breakout.
3) XAUUSD, London fake & VWAP fade
• Chart: 5m.
• Keep Retest ON; accept only shorts that break OR Low but retest fails back under VWAP.
• Confidence gate ≥ 50 to allow more mean-reversion setups.
⸻
Pro tips
• Adjust ATR buffer to the instrument: FX 0.15–0.25, indices 0.20–0.35, metals 0.20–0.30.
• Retest ON for choppy conditions; OFF for news momentum.
• Use VWAP bands: take partials at ±1; stretch targets at ±2/±3.
• Session timezones are explicit (London/New York). Ensure they match your instrument’s behavior.
• Pair with a higher-TF bias (e.g., 1H/4H trend) for directional filtering.
⸻
Alerts (ready to use)
• ORB+SVWAP — LDN Long, LDN Short, NY Long, NY Short
(Respect your cooldown; alerts fire only after confirmation and confidence gate.)
⸻
Known limits & notes
• Designed for intraday. On 1D+ charts, session windows compress.
• If your broker session differs from London/NY clocks on a holiday, adjust input times.
• Session-anchored VWAP uses the script’s signal window, not exchange sessions, by design.

Tristan's Box: Pre-Market Range Breakout + RetestMarket Context:
This is designed for U.S. stocks, focusing on pre-market price action (4:00–9:30 AM ET) to identify key support/resistance levels before the regular session opens.
Built for 1 min and 5 min timelines, and is intended for day trading / scalping.
Core Idea:
Pre-market range (high/low) often acts as a magnet for price during regular hours.
The first breakout outside this range signals potential strong momentum in that direction.
Retest of the breakout level confirms whether the breakout is valid, avoiding false moves.
Step-by-Step Logic:
Pre-Market Range Identification:
Track high and low from 4:00–9:30 AM ET.
Draw a box spanning this range for visual reference and calculation.
Breakout Detection:
When the first candle closes above the pre-market high → long breakout.
When the first candle closes below the pre-market low → short breakout.
The first breakout candle is highlighted with a “YOLO” label for visual confirmation.
Retest Confirmation:
Identify the first candle whose wick touches the pre-market box (high touches top for short, low touches bottom for long).
Wait for the next candle: if it closes outside the box, it confirms the breakout.
Entry Execution:
Long entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch above the pre-market high.
Short entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch below the pre-market low.
Only the first valid entry per direction per day is taken.
Visuals & Alerts:
Box represents pre-market high/low.
Top/bottom box border lines show the pre-market high / low levels cleanly.
BUY/SELL markers are pinned to the confirming candle.
Added a "YOLO" marker on breakout candle.
Alert conditions trigger when a breakout is confirmed by the retest.
Strategy Type:
Momentum breakout strategy with confirmation retest.
Combines pre-market structure and risk-managed entries.
Designed to filter false breakouts by requiring confirmation on the candle after the wick-touch.
In short, it’s a pre-market breakout momentum strategy: it uses the pre-market high/low as reference, waits for a breakout, and then enters only after a confirmation retest, reducing the chance of entering on a false spike.
Always use good risk management.
Advanced Range Analyzer ProAdvanced Range Analyzer Pro – Adaptive Range Detection & Breakout Forecasting
Overview
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify consolidations, evaluate their strength, and forecast potential breakout direction. By combining volatility-adjusted thresholds, volume distribution analysis, and historical breakout behavior, the indicator builds an adaptive framework for navigating sideways price action. Instead of treating ranges as noise, this system transforms them into opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trading.
How It Works
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify active range environments. Ranges are defined by volatility compression, repeated boundary interactions, and clustering of volume near equilibrium. Once detected, the indicator assigns a strength score (0–100), which quantifies how well-defined and compressed the consolidation is.
Breakout probabilities are then calculated by factoring in:
Relative time spent near the upper vs. lower range boundaries
Historical breakout tendencies for similar structures
Volume distribution inside the range
Momentum alignment using auxiliary filters (RSI/MACD)
This creates a live probability forecast that updates as price evolves. The tool also supports range memory, allowing traders to analyze the last completed range after a breakout has occurred. A dynamic strength meter is displayed directly above each consolidation range, providing real-time insight into range compression and breakout potential.
Signals and Breakouts
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro includes a structured set of visual tools to highlight actionable conditions:
Range Zones – Gradient-filled boxes highlight active consolidations.
Strength Meter – A live score displayed in the dashboard quantifies compression.
Breakout Labels – Probability percentages show bias toward bullish or bearish continuation.
Breakout Highlights – When a breakout occurs, the range is marked with directional confirmation.
Dashboard Table – Displays current status, strength, live/last range mode, and probabilities.
These elements update in real time, ensuring that traders always see the current state of consolidation and breakout risk.
Interpretation
Range Strength : High scores (70–100) indicate strong consolidations likely to resolve explosively, while low scores suggest weak or choppy ranges prone to false signals.
Breakout Probability : Directional bias greater than 60% suggests meaningful breakout pressure. Equal probabilities indicate balanced compression, favoring mean-reversion strategies.
Market Context : Ranges aligned with higher timeframe trends often resolve in the dominant direction, while counter-trend ranges may lead to reversals or liquidity sweeps.
Volatility Insight : Tight ranges with low ATR imply imminent expansion; wide ranges signal extended consolidation or distribution phases.
Strategy Integration
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro can be applied across multiple trading styles:
Breakout Trading : Enter on probability shifts above 60% with confirmation of volume or momentum.
Mean Reversion : Trade inside ranges with high strength scores by fading boundaries and targeting equilibrium.
Trend Continuation : Focus on ranges that form mid-trend, anticipating continuation after consolidation.
Liquidity Sweeps : Use failed breakouts at boundaries to capture reversals.
Multi-Timeframe : Apply on higher timeframes to frame market context, then execute on lower timeframes.
Advanced Techniques
Combine with volume profiles to identify areas of institutional positioning within ranges.
Track sequences of strong consolidations for trend development or exhaustion signals.
Use breakout probability shifts in conjunction with order flow or momentum indicators to refine entries.
Monitor expanding/contracting range widths to anticipate volatility cycles.
Custom parameters allow fine-tuning sensitivity for different assets (crypto, forex, equities) and trading styles (scalping, intraday, swing).
Inputs and Customization
Range Detection Sensitivity : Controls how strictly ranges are defined.
Strength Score Settings : Adjust weighting of compression, volume, and breakout memory.
Probability Forecasting : Enable/disable directional bias and thresholds.
Gradient & Fill Options : Customize range visualization colors and opacity.
Dashboard Display : Toggle live vs last range, info table size, and position.
Breakout Highlighting : Choose border/zone emphasis on breakout events.

Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
Long Elite Squeeze (LES) — H.H 22 Lindsay (AI)LES (Long Elite Squeeze)
LES (Long Elite Squeeze) is a trading framework designed to capture the highest-probability long setups. It’s not just another signal script — it’s a structured system built to filter noise, manage risk, and keep you aligned with real momentum.
🔹 Core Logic
Breakout Confirmation – Ensures moves have structure, not just random spikes.
Relative Volume (RVOL) – Confirms participation and fuel behind the move.
RSI Alignment – Avoids overextended traps and fakeouts.
Squeeze Momentum – The backbone of LES. Signals fire only after a defined squeeze pattern shift (6+ dark green bars followed by a light green bar).
🔹 Trade Management Built In
Automated Sell Signals – Trigger on either:
2 consecutive dark green bars on Squeeze Momentum
WaveTrend cross down
(only valid after a Buy signal — no random shorts)
HUD Entry Checklist – Live conditions shown on chart.
Status Tracker HUD – Flips between “Waiting for Entry” and “In Trade” for clear context.
🔹 Flexibility
3 switchable squeeze versions (V1, V2, V3) for different market conditions.
Customizable EMA & ATR settings (with color options).
Session-aware logic — filter signals to prime trading hours.
🔹 Blueprint & Credits
LES is a fusion of proven concepts, standing on the shoulders of respected creators:
-Squeeze Momentum – LazyBear
-WaveTrend Oscillator – LazyBear
-Relative Volume – LonesomeTheBlue
Breakout/structural logic – refined from classic frameworks
Their work laid the foundation — LES expands and integrates them into a complete trading system.
⚡ Why LES Stands Out
LES wasn’t coded overnight. It’s the result of countless hours of live testing, rebuilding, and refining. Every feature earned its place by proving value in real trading, not theory.
LES is more than an indicator. It’s a disciplined framework — crafted to turn chaos into structure, randomness into probability, and noise into clarity.

Open Range Breakout Strategy With Multi TakeProfitHello everyone,
For a while, I’ve been wanting to develop new scripts, but I couldn’t decide what to create. Eventually, I came up with the idea of coding traditional and well-known trading strategies—while adding modern features such as multi–take profit options. For the first strategy in this series, I chose the Open Range Strategy .
For those unfamiliar with it, the Open Range Strategy is a trading approach where you define a specific time period at the beginning of a trading session—such as the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour—and mark the highest and lowest prices within that range. These levels then act as reference points for potential breakouts: if the price breaks above the range, it may signal a long entry; if it breaks below, it may indicate a short entry. This method is popular among day traders for capturing early momentum in the market.
Since this strategy is generally used as an intraday strategy , I added a Trade Session feature. This allows you to define the exact time window during which trades can be opened. Once the session ends, all positions are automatically closed, ensuring trades remain within your chosen intraday period.
Even though it’s a relatively simple concept, I’ve come across many different variations of it. That’s why I created a highly customizable project. Under the Session Settings, you can select the time window you want to define as your range. Whether it’s the first 15-minute candle or the entire first hour, the choice is entirely yours.
For stop-loss placement, there are two different options:
Middle of the Range – The stop loss is placed at the midpoint between the high and low of the defined range, offering a balanced buffer for both bullish and bearish setups.
Top/Bottom of the Range – The stop loss is placed just beyond the range’s high for short trades or just below the range’s low for long trades, providing a more conservative risk approach.
I’ve always been a big fan of the multi take-profit feature, so I added two different take-profit targets to this project. Take profits are calculated based on a Risk-to-Reward Ratio, which you can adjust in the settings. You can also set different position sizes for each target, allowing you to scale out of trades in a way that suits your strategy.
The result is a flexible, user-friendly strategy script that brings together a classic approach with modern risk management tools—ready to be tailored to your trading style

Zero Lag Liquidity [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script plots liquidity zones with zero lag using lower-timeframe wick profiles and high-volume wicks to mark key price reactions. It’s called Zero Lag Liquidity because it captures significant liquidity imbalances in real time by processing lower-TF price-volume distributions directly inside the wick of abnormal candles. The tool builds a volume histogram inside long upper/lower wicks, then calculates a local Point of Control (POC) to mark the price where most volume occurred. These levels act as visual liquidity zones, which can trigger labels, break signals, and trend detection depending on price interaction.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The core concept relies on identifying high-volume candles with unusually long wicks—often a sign of opposing liquidity. When a large upper or lower wick appears with a strong volume spike, the script builds a histogram of lower-timeframe closes and volumes inside that wick. It bins the wick into segments, sums volume per bin, and finds the POC. This POC becomes the liquidity level. The script then dynamically tracks whether price breaks above or rejects off these levels, adjusts the active trend regime accordingly, and highlights bars to help users spot continuation or reversal behavior. The logic avoids repainting or subjective interpretation by using fixed thresholds and lower-TF price action.
🟠 FEATURES
Dynamic liquidity levels rendered at POC of significant wicks, colored by bullish/bearish direction.
Break detection that removes levels once price decisively crosses them twice in the same direction.
Rejection detection that plots ▲/▼ markers when price bounces off levels intrabar.
Volume labels for each level, shown either as raw volume or percentage of total level volume.
Candle coloring based on trend direction (break-dominant).
🟠 USAGE
Use this indicator to track where liquidity has most likely entered the market via abnormal wick events. When a long wick forms with high volume, the script looks inside it (using your chosen lower timeframe) and marks the most traded price within it. These levels can serve as expected reversal or breakout zones. Rejections are marked with small arrows, while breaks trigger trend shifts and remove the level. You can toggle trend coloring to see directional bias after a breakout. Use the wick multiplier to control how selective the detector is (higher = stricter). Alerts and label modes help customize the signal for different asset types and chart styles.
Moving Average Volume (20, 50)Shows two moving averages of volume, the 20 and 50 periods.
white bars in the background show volume, look for breaks of the target lines to confirm a breakout with volume
green shaded regions show how much higher the current volume is compared to historical volume
the greener the shade, the higher the multiple is (cap is 10x higher)
indicator is to be used with other breakout identifiers, or to help confirm the strength of a move out of an SAR level.
Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds [SciQua]╭──────────────────────────────────────────────╮
☁️ Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────╯
🔍 Overview
The Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds (SMRC) indicator is a powerful visual tool for identifying price compression , trend strength , and slope momentum using multiple layers of linear regression Clouds. Designed to extend the classic squeeze framework, this indicator captures the behavior of price through dynamic slope detection, percentile-based spread analytics, and an optional UI for trend inspection — across up to four customizable regression Clouds .
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
⚙️ Core Features
╰────────────────╯
Up to 4 Regression Clouds – Each Cloud is created from a top and bottom linear regression line over a configurable lookback window.
Slope Detection Engine – Identifies whether each band is rising, falling, or flat based on slope-to-ATR thresholds.
Spread Compression Heatmap – Highlights compressed zones using yellow intensity, derived from historical spread analysis.
Composite Trend Scoring – Aggregates directional signals from each Cloud using your chosen weighting model.
Color-Coded Candles – Optional candle coloring reflects the real-time composite score.
UI Table – A toggleable info table shows slopes, compression levels, percentile ranks, and direction scores for each Cloud.
Gradient Cloud Styling – Apply gradient coloring from Cloud 1 to Cloud 4 for visual slope intensity.
Weight Aggregation Options – Use equal weighting, inverse-length weighting, or max pooling across Clouds to determine composite trend strength.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭──────────────────────────────────────────╮
🧪 How to Use the Indicator
1. Understand Trend Bias with Cloud Colors
╰──────────────────────────────────────────╯
Each Cloud changes color based on its current slope:
Green indicates a rising trend.
Red indicates a falling trend.
Gray indicates a flat slope — often seen during chop or transitions.
Cloud 1 typically reflects short-term structure, while Cloud 4 represents long-term directional bias. Watch for multi-Cloud alignment — when all Clouds are green or red, the trend is strong. Divergence among Clouds often signals a potential shift.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭───────────────────────────────────────────────╮
2. Use Compression Heat to Anticipate Breakouts
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────╯
The space between each Cloud’s top and bottom regression lines is measured, normalized, and analyzed over time. When this spread tightens relative to its history, the script highlights the band with a yellow compression glow .
This visual cue helps identify squeeze zones before volatility expands. If you see compression paired with a changing slope color (e.g., gray to green), this may indicate an impending breakout.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────╮
3. Leverage the Optional Table UI
╰─────────────────────────────────╯
The indicator includes a dynamic, floating table that displays real-time metrics per Cloud. These include:
Slope direction and value , with historical Min/Max reference.
Top and Bottom percentile ranks , showing how price sits within the Cloud range.
Current spread width , compared to its historical norms.
Composite score , which blends trend, slope, and compression for that Cloud.
You can customize the table’s position, theme, transparency, and whether to show a combined summary score in the header.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────╮
4. Analyze Candle Color for Composite Signals
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────╯
When enabled, the indicator colors candles based on a weighted composite score. This score factors in:
The signed slope of each Cloud (up, down, or flat)
The percentile pressure from the top and bottom bands
The degree of spread compression
Expect green candles in bullish trend phases, red candles during bearish regimes, and gray candles in mixed or low-conviction zones.
Candle coloring provides a visual shorthand for market conditions , useful for intraday scanning or historical backtesting.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────────────╮
🧰 Configuration Guidance
╰────────────────────────╯
To tailor the indicator to your strategy:
Use Cloud lengths like 21, 34, 55, and 89 for a balanced multi-timeframe view.
Adjust the slope threshold (default 0.05) to control how sensitive the trend coloring is.
Set the spread floor (e.g., 0.15) to tune when compression is detected and visualized.
Choose your weighting style : Inverse Length (favor faster bands), Equal, or Max Pooling (most aggressive).
Set composite weights to emphasize trend slope, percentile bias, or compression—depending on your market edge.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
✅ Best Practices
╰────────────────╯
Use aligned Cloud colors across all bands to confirm trend conviction.
Combine slope direction with compression glow for early breakout entry setups.
In choppy markets, watch for Clouds 1 and 2 turning flat while Clouds 3 and 4 remain directional — a sign of potential trend exhaustion or consolidation.
Keep the table enabled during backtesting to manually evaluate how each Cloud behaved during price turns and consolidations.

Auto Channel [SciQua]Auto Channel
Purpose
Auto Channel finds the single best parallel price channel from recent price action and keeps it updated in real time. It uses ZigZag pivots to build candidate channels, scores each candidate for quality, then plots the winner. When price closes outside the channel, the script flags a breakout and can fire alerts.
How it works
1. ZigZag pivots
The script uses TradingView’s TradingView/ZigZag/7 library to generate a stream of swing highs and lows based on a percentage reversal threshold and a leg depth. These pivots are the only points the channel logic evaluates, which keeps the search fast and focused on structure rather than noise.
2. Channel candidates
From the most recent pivots, the script forms all combinations of two swing highs and two swing lows.
It computes a slope for the high line and a slope for the low line and requires that they be nearly parallel within a user-defined tolerance.
3. Quality scoring and selection
For every valid candidate, the script checks the recent pivot segments against the trial channel and computes:
Inside ratio: fraction of tested pivots that sit fully inside the channel after applying the tolerance buffer.
Violation sum: total magnitude of the breaches for any pivots outside the channel.
Current width: distance between upper and lower lines at the current bar.
The “best” channel is chosen by:
1. highest inside ratio
2. then widest current width
3. then smallest violation sum
4. Plot and projection
The upper and lower lines are anchored to the chosen pivot pairs and extend to the left. The script also projects each line to the current bar to compute the live upper and lower channel prices. Those levels drive the breakout checks and alerts.
5. Breakouts and alerts
A breakout is detected when the bar closes above the projected upper line or closes below the projected lower line, after applying the tolerance buffer. Triangle markers highlight fresh breakouts, and you can enable alert conditions to automate notification or strategy handoff.
Inputs:
ZigZag
Price deviation for reversals (%)
Default 0.2. Larger values produce fewer, larger swings. Smaller values produce more, smaller swings.
Pivot legs
Default 2. Controls the lookback depth ZigZag uses to confirm pivots.
ZigZag Color
Visual only.
Tip: If you are not seeing a stable channel, increase the ZigZag percentage to reduce minor swings.
Channel search
Number of recent pivots to consider
Default 12. Higher values search more history and try more channel combinations. Lower values make the search faster and more reactive.
Max slope difference for parallel
Default 0.0005. Maximum allowed difference between the upper and lower line slopes. Smaller values enforce stricter parallelism.
Max price tolerance outside channel
Default 0.0. A buffer added to the channel boundaries during validation and breakout checks. Use this to ignore tiny wicks that poke the lines.
Minimum inside to outside pivots ratio for valid channel (0.00–1.00)
Default 1.00. Require that at least this fraction of checked pivots lie inside the channel. For a more permissive fit, try 0.60 to 0.85.

Triangle markers on the bar that first confirms a close outside the channel, above or below.
Lines extend left from their pivot anchors. Projection to the current bar is used internally to test for breakouts and to set alerts.
Alerts
The script defines two alert conditions:
Close Above Channel
Triggers when the bar closes above the projected upper line plus tolerance.
Close Below Channel
Triggers when the bar closes below the projected lower line minus tolerance.
Practical usage
Trend channels
In a steady trend, a high inside ratio with a moderate width often highlights the dominant channel. Consider trend entries near the lower line in an uptrend or near the upper line in a downtrend, with exits or stops beyond the opposite boundary.
Breakout trades
Combine the channel breakout alert with volume or a separate momentum filter. The tolerance input helps avoid false triggers from small wicks.
Tuning for timeframe and symbol
• Faster markets or lower timeframes usually benefit from a larger ZigZag percentage and a smaller pivot count.
• Slower markets or higher timeframes can use more pivots and a tighter slope difference to enforce cleaner geometry.
Notes and limitations
Channels are derived from ZigZag pivots. If your ZigZag settings change, the detected channel will also change.
The script plots only the single best channel at any time to keep the chart clean.
Breakout markers appear on confirmed bars. For historical bars, markers appear only where a breakout would have been confirmed at that time.
Lines extend left from their anchors. The script projects the lines internally to the current bar for checks and alerts.

FAQ
Why do I not see any channel sometimes?
There may not be a valid pair of highs and lows that pass the slope, inside ratio, and tolerance checks. Loosen the constraints by increasing Max slope difference, lowering Minimum inside ratio, or increasing the ZigZag percentage.
The channel looks too narrow or too wide?
Adjust Number of recent pivots and Minimum inside ratio. A higher inside ratio tends to favor cleaner, sometimes wider channels. A lower ratio may admit narrower, more reactive channels.
How can I reduce false breakout alerts?
Increase Max price tolerance outside channel to ignore small wicks. Add a volume or momentum confirmation in your personal alert workflow.
