Intraday
SA VWAP RSI Gamma ExpressSIGNAL ARCHITECT™ — VWAP + RSI + Gamma Express
Reduced Gate | Intraday Structure Engine
Overview
The VWAP + RSI + Gamma Express is a structure-first intraday signal engine designed to identify high-probability reversals and momentum expansions around VWAP, RSI regime shifts, and synthetic gamma-wall behavior.
This tool does not predict price.
It highlights where price is statistically more likely to respond based on participation, positioning, and momentum confirmation.
Core Logic (How It Works)
This study combines three structural layers:
1) VWAP Location
VWAP defines the institutional mean
Signals only trigger when price reclaims or rejects VWAP
Eliminates low-quality mid-range chop
2) RSI Regime Behavior
Reversal Logic
Bullish: VWAP reclaim after RSI has been oversold
Bearish: VWAP rejection after RSI has been overbought
Expansion Logic
Bullish: RSI ≥ 60 while holding above VWAP
Bearish: RSI ≤ 40 while holding below VWAP
Prevents chasing late or exhausted moves
3) Gamma Proxy (Optional Gate)
Uses synthetic strike proximity + volume behavior
Helps detect areas where dealer hedging or pinning behavior may amplify follow-through
Can be toggled ON/OFF depending on market conditions
Signal Types
BULL REV (Bullish Reversal)
VWAP cross upward
Prior RSI oversold
Indicates absorption → directional shift
BULL EXP (Bullish Expansion)
Above VWAP
RSI expansion (≥ 60)
Optional gamma confirmation
Indicates momentum continuation
BEAR REV (Bearish Reversal)
VWAP cross downward
Prior RSI overbought
Indicates distribution → downside response
BEAR EXP (Bearish Expansion)
Below VWAP
RSI deflation (≤ 40)
Optional gamma confirmation
Indicates downside continuation
Bar Coloring (Important)
Green Bars → Bullish structure confirmed
Red Bars → Bearish structure confirmed
Gray Bars → Undefined trading conditions
⚠️ Gray bars mean CAUTION IS ELEVATED
Structure is incomplete
VWAP / RSI / Gamma alignment is missing
Best used for observation, not execution
Gray = wait for confirmation, not force a trade.
Recommended Timeframes
⭐ 5-Minute is the PRIMARY and FAVORITE timeframe
Best balance of signal clarity and execution precision
Ideal for NQ / ES intraday structure
Captures real institutional behavior without micro noise
Secondary Use:
15m → intraday bias confirmation
1H → session-level context
Lower than 5m = execution only (not signal truth)
Best Use Cases
VWAP reclaim / rejection days
Trend days with pullback continuation
Opening range transitions
Post-news stabilization phases
Futures, index ETFs, and highly liquid equities
What This Tool Is NOT
❌ Not a buy/sell command system
❌ Not predictive or future-forecasting
❌ Not designed for low-liquidity assets
This is a structure + confirmation engine, not a signal spam tool.

Directional Movement Probability (DMP Indicator) [whodatop]The Directional Movement Probability (DMP) indicator is an intraday-oriented analytical tool designed to identify probabilistic phases of directional price movement using a Z-score calculation based on the deviation of the closing price from its moving average.
The indicator is primarily intended for lower intraday timeframes , with 3-minute and 5-minute charts being the preferred operating range, where directional transitions and regime shifts are more clearly expressed.
Its primary objective is to detect the start and end of a positive Z-score zone, interpreted as a phase of dominant directional behavior.
It has demonstrated particularly consistent behavior on Forex instruments and currency futures , where mean-deviation dynamics and session-based liquidity patterns are well defined.
Core Calculation Logic
Z-score
The indicator uses a Z-score calculated from the closing price relative to its moving average.
The Lookback Length defines the calculation window for both the moving average and standard deviation.
If the standard deviation is zero, the Z-score defaults to 0.
Deadband (Hysteresis)
A symmetric deadband around zero is applied to reduce signal noise when Z fluctuates near the midpoint.
Setting Deadband = 0 disables this behavior.
Signal Filters
Filters do not alter the Z-score calculation and are applied only at the signal level.
Toxic Bar Filter
Suppresses signals on abnormally large candles by comparing bar height to recent volatility.
Session Filter
Optionally ignores signals during the Asian session (23:00–07:00 UTC) to reduce low-liquidity noise.
Limitations and Usage Notes
This is an intraday indicator, not a standalone trading system.
Best performance is typically observed on 3-minute and 5-minute charts.
Particularly well-suited for Forex markets and currency futures.
Can be applied to other asset classes and timeframes, but signal characteristics may vary.
Most effective when combined with:
- higher-timeframe directional bias,
- market structure or liquidity-based analysis,
- additional confirmation logic.
Not designed for prolonged range-bound conditions without supplementary filters.
NY Open CRT FrameworkNY Open CRT Framework Indicator
The NY Open CRT Framework automatically captures the 9:30 AM New York opening candle and projects its High, Low, Midpoint, Open, and Close forward to provide objective intraday context based on acceptance and rejection.
This indicator is designed as a framework, not a signal generator — allowing traders to align with New York session structure and let price action confirm directional bias.
✂️ Overview:
The New York Open is one of the most important moments of the trading day.
This framework uses the NY Open candle as a fixed reference range and evaluates how price behaves relative to that range throughout the session.
Once the NY Open candle closes, its levels are locked in and used to determine:
- Acceptance above the range
- Acceptance below the range
- Failed breakouts and rejection
- Neutral / rotational conditions
All logic is objective, non-repainting, and session-anchored.
NQ 1m Open Candle Levels
✨ CRT Range Levels:
The following levels are plotted from the NY 9.30 AM Open candle.
- CRT High – Upper boundary of acceptance
- CRT Low – Lower boundary of acceptance
- CRT Midpoint – Equilibrium level of the range
- CRT Open – True NY session open price
- CRT Close – Close of the opening impulse
These levels form the core decision framework for the session.
📚 CRT Acceptance & Failure Logic:
After the NY Open candle closes, the framework evaluates price behavior.
Acceptance Above (Bullish)
- Two consecutive closes above the CRT High
- Indicates bullish acceptance and continuation bias
Acceptance Below (Bearish)
- Two consecutive closes below the CRT Low
- Indicates bearish acceptance and continuation bias
Failure / Rejection
- Price trades beyond the range but closes back inside
- Suggests rejection, traps, or rotational conditions
Line colors update automatically to reflect the current state.
Dynamic Color Coding:
CRT High and Low lines change color based on market behavior.
- Green – Accepted above (bullish bias)
- Red – Accepted below (bearish bias)
- Gray – Failed breakout (rejection)
- Neutral (faded) – No confirmation yet
This allows you to read bias instantly without over-analysis.
NQ 15m Open Candle Levels
💻 HUD / Status Box:
A compact on-chart HUD provides real-time clarity without clutter.
The HUD displays
- Bias – Accepted Above, Accepted Below, Failure, or Neutral
- NY Open Range Status
- FORMING → NY Open candle still building
- SET → NY Open candle closed, framework active
- Price Location
- Above Range
- Below Range
- Inside Range
This allows traders to understand session context instantly at a glance.
📈 Best Practices
- Ideal for 1m–15m timeframes
- Avoid trading inside the range without confirmation
- Use the midpoint as equilibrium, not a signal
- Let acceptance define bias — not opinions
🛠️ Settings Overview:
Inputs Tab
- Show Midpoint
- Toggle the CRT midpoint on or off.
- Extend Lines (bars)
- Controls how far all CRT levels extend forward.
- Show CRT Status HUD
- Enables or disables the on-chart HUD.

Institutional PointOverview Institutional Point is a sophisticated data-mining indicator designed to identify and track "institutional footprints" by isolating the single candle with the highest volume relative to a specific time anchor. Unlike traditional volume profiles that aggregate data into price bins, this script pinpoints the exact temporal origin of massive liquidity injections.
Core Methodology The script operates on a multi-timeframe analysis engine (MTF). It scans sub-chart data (2-minute or 15-minute intervals) to find the absolute maximum volume peak within a defined period. Once the "Institutional Point" is identified:
Source Identification: The origin candle is highlighted in white, signaling a high-conviction entry or exit by large-scale market participants.
Zone Projection: A borderless "Institutional Zone" is projected forward from the spike’s high/low range.
Dynamic Interaction: The zone remains active until the price revisits the area (mitigation) or until the time-based expiration is reached.
Anchor Modes & Precision
8-Hour Cycle: Optimized for high-frequency scalping. Anchors reset at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00. Utilizes ultra-precise 2-minute volume detection.
Daily Session: Designed for intraday and swing traders. Anchors to the Daily Open. Utilizes 2-minute volume detection to isolate precise institutional orders.
Weekly Cycle: Built for identifying major structural pivots. Anchors to the Weekly Open. Utilizes 15-minute volume detection for macro-liquidity analysis.
Key Features
Naked Level Tracking: Zones automatically stop extending the moment they are "hit" by price action, providing a clean visual of unmitigated liquidity.
Anti-Noise Filter: Automatically excludes Saturday and Sunday data to maintain statistical integrity across global markets.
Minimalist Interface: High-contrast visual design focused on scannability and professional chart aesthetics.
Use Cases
Data Science & Backtesting: Ideal for measuring the "Z-Score" or "Percentile Distance" from institutional peaks.
Supply & Demand Trading: Automated identification of the "Origin of the Move."
Magnet Analysis: Tracking "Naked" volume spikes as high-probability magnets for future price mean reversion.
Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator [ApexLegion]Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
The Market Regime | NY Session Killzones indicator is designed exclusively for New York market hours (07:00-16:00 ET). Unlike universal indicators that attempt to function across disparate global sessions, this tool employs session-specific calibration to target the distinct liquidity characteristics of the NY trading day: Pre-Market structural formation (08:00-09:30), the Morning breakout window (09:30-12:00), and the Afternoon Killzone (13:30-16:00)—periods when institutional order flow exhibits the highest concentration and most definable technical structure. By restricting its operational scope to these statistically significant time windows, the indicator focuses on signal relevance while filtering the noise inherent in lower-liquidity overnight or extended-hours trading environments.
I. TECHNICAL RATIONALE: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTEXTUAL FUSION
1. The Limitation of Acontextual Indicators
Traditional technical indicators often fail because they treat every bar and every market session equally, applying static thresholds (e.g., RSI > 70) without regard for the underlying market structure or liquidity environment. However, institutional volume and market volatility are highly dependent on the time of day (session) and the prevailing long-term risk environment.
This indicator was developed to address this "contextual deficit" by fusing three distinct yet interdependent analytical layers:
• Time and Structure (Macro): Identifying high-probability trading windows (Killzones) and critical structural levels (Pre-Market Range, PDH/PDL).
• Volatility and Scoring (Engine): Normalizing intraday momentum against annual volatility data to create an objective, statistically grounded AI Score.
• Risk Management (Execution): Implementing dynamic, volatility-adjusted Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) parameters based on the Average True Range (ATR).
2. The Mandate for 252-Day Normalization (Z-Score)
What makes this tool unique is its 252-day Z-Score normalization engine that transforms raw momentum readings into statistically grounded probability scores, allowing the same indicator to deliver consistent, context-aware signals across any timeframe—from 1-minute scalping to 1-hour swing trades—without manual recalibration.
THE PROBLEM OF SCALE INVARIANCE
A high Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading on a 1-minute chart has a completely different market implication than a high RSI reading on a Daily chart. Simple percentage-based thresholds (like 70 or 30) do not provide true contextual significance. A sudden spike in momentum may look extreme on a 5-minute chart, but if it is statistically insignificant compared to the overall volatility of the last year, it may be a poor signal.
THE SOLUTION: CROSS-TIMEFRAME Z-SCORE NORMALIZATION
This indicator utilizes the Pine Script function request.security to reference the Daily timeframe for calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of a momentum oscillator (RSI) over the past 252 trading days (one year).
The indicator then calculates the Z-Score (Z) for the current bar's raw momentum (x): Z = (x - μ) / σ
Core Implementation: float raw_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14) // x
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D",
, // σ (252 days)
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0 // Z
This score provides an objective measurement of current intraday momentum significance by evaluating its statistical extremity against the yearly baseline of daily momentum. This standardized approach provides the scoring engine with consistent, global contextual information, independent of the chart's current viewing timeframe.
II. CORE COMPONENTS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN
1. TIME AND SESSION ANALYSIS (KILLZONES AND BIAS)
The indicator visually segments the trading day based on New York (NY) trading sessions, aligning the analysis with periods of high institutional liquidity events.
Pre-Market (PRE)
• Function: Defines the range before the core market opens. This range establishes structural support and resistance levels (PMH/PML).
• Technical Implementation: Uses a dedicated Session input (ny_pre_sess). The High and Low values (pm_h_val/pm_l_val) within this session are stored and plotted for structural reference.
• Smart Extension Logic: PMH/PML lines are automatically extended until the next Pre-Market session begins, providing continuous support/resistance references overnight.
NY Killzones (AM/PM)
• Function: Highlights high-probability volatility windows where institutional liquidity is expected to be highest (e.g., NY open, lunch, NY close).
• Technical Implementation: Separate session inputs (kz_ny_am, kz_ny_pm) are utilized to draw translucent background fills, providing a clear visual cue for timing.
Market Regime Bias
• Function: Determines the initial directional premise for the trading day. The bias is confirmed when the price breaks either the Pre-Market High (PMH) or the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Technical Implementation: Involves the comparison of the close price against the predefined structural levels (check_h for PMH, check_l for PML). The variable active_bias is set to Bullish or Bearish upon confirmed breakout.
Trend Bar Coloring
• Function: Applies a visual cue to the bars based on the established regime (Bullish=Cyan, Bearish=Red). This visual filter helps mitigate noise from counter-trend candles.
• Technical Implementation: The Pine Script barcolor() function is tied directly to the value of the determined active_bias.
2. VOLATILITY NORMALIZED SCORING ENGINE
The internal scoring mechanism accumulates points from multiple market factors to determine the strength and validity of a signal. The purpose is to apply a robust filtering mechanism before generating an entry.
The score accumulation logic is based on the following factors:
• Market Bias Alignment (+3 Points): Points are awarded for conformance with the determined active_bias (Bullish/Bearish).
• VWAP Alignment (+2 Points): Assesses the position of the current price relative to the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Alignment suggests conformity with the average institutional transaction price.
• Volume Anomaly (+2 Points): Detects a price move accompanied by an abnormally high relative volume (odd_vol_spike). This suggests potential institutional participation or significant order flow.
• VIX Integration (+2 Points): A score derived from the CBOE VIX index, assessing overall market stability and stress. Stable VIX levels add points, while high VIX levels (stress regimes) remove points or prevent signal generation entirely.
• ML Probability Score (+3 Points): This is the core predictive engine. It utilizes a Log-Manhattan Distance Kernel to compare the current market state against historical volatility patterns. The script implements a Log-linear distance formula (log(1 + |Δ|) ). This approach mathematically dampens the impact of extreme volatility spikes (outliers), ensuring that the similarity score reflects true structural alignment rather than transient market noise.
Core Technical Logic (Z-Score Normalization)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0
• Technical Purpose: This line calculates the Z-Score (cur_rsi_norm) of the current momentum oscillator reading (raw_rsi) by normalizing it against the mean (d_rsi_mean) and standard deviation (d_rsi_std) derived from 252 days of Daily momentum data. If the standard deviation is zero (market is perfectly flat), it safely returns 0.0 to prevent division by zero runtime errors. This allows the AI's probability score to be based on the current signal's significance within the context of the entire trading year.
3. EXECUTION AND RISK MANAGEMENT (ATR MODEL)
The indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) volatility model. This helps risk management scale dynamically with market volatility by allowing users to define TP/SL distances independently based on the current ATR.
Stop Loss Multiplier (sl_mult)
• Function: Sets the Stop Loss (SL) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_sl_price := close - (atr_val * sl_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Take Profit Multiplier (tp_mult)
• Function: Sets the Take Profit (TP) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 3.0 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_tp_price := close + (atr_val * tp_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Structural SL Option
• Function: Provides an override to the ATR-based SL calculation. When enabled, it forces the Stop Loss to the Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML) level, aligning the stop with a key institutional structural boundary.
• Technical Logic: The indicator checks the use_struct_sl input. If true, the calculated last_sl_price is overridden with either pm_h_val or pm_l_val, dependent on the specific trade direction.
Trend Continuation Logic
• Function: Enables signal generation in established, strong trends (typically in the Afternoon session) based on follow-through momentum (a new high/low of the previous bar) combined with a high Signal Score, rather than exclusively relying on the initial PMH/PML breakout.
• Technical Logic: For a long signal, the is_cont_long logic specifically requires checks like active_bias == s_bull AND close > high , confirming follow-through momentum within the established regime.
Smart Snapping & Cleanup (16:00 Market Close)
• Function: To maintain chart cleanliness, all trade boxes (TP/SL), AI Prediction zones, Killzone overlays (NY AM/PM), and Liquidity lines (PDH/PDL) are automatically "snapped" and cut off precisely at 16:00 NY Time (Market Close).
• Technical Logic: When is_market_close condition is met (hour == 16 and minute == 0), the script executes cleanup logic that:
◦ Closes active trades and evaluates final P&L
◦ Snaps all TP/SL box widths to current bar
◦ Truncates AI Prediction ghost boxes at market close
◦ Cuts off NY AM/PM Killzone background fills
◦ Terminates PDH/PDL line extensions
◦ Prevents visual clutter from extending into post-market sessions
4. LIQUIDITY AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
The indicator plots key structural levels that serve as high-probability magnet zones or areas of potential liquidity absorption.
• Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML): These are the high and low established during the configured pre-market session (ny_pre_sess). They define the primary structural breakout level for the day, often serving as the initial market inflection point or the key entry level for the morning session.
• PDH (Previous Day High): The high of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This represents a key Liquidity Pool; large orders are often placed above this level, making it a frequent target for stop hunts or liquidity absorption by market makers.
• PDL (Previous Day Low): The low of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This also represents a key Liquidity Pool and a high-probability reversal or accumulation point, particularly during the Killzones.
FIFO Array Management
The indicator uses FIFO (First-In-First-Out) array structures to manage liquidity lines and labels, automatically deleting the oldest objects when the count exceeds 500 to comply with drawing object limits.
5. AI PREDICTION BOX (PREDICTIVE MODEL)
Function: Analyzes AI scores and volatility to project predicted killzone ranges and duration with asymmetric directional bias.
A. DIRECTIONAL BIAS (ASYMMETRIC EXPANSION)
The prediction model calculates directional probability using the ML kernel's 252-day Normalized RSI (Z-Score) and Relative Volume (RVOL). The prediction box dynamically adjusts its range based on this probability to provide immediate visual feedback on high-probability direction.
Bullish Scenario (ml_prob > 1.0):
• Upper Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive upside target
• Lower Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed upward, immediately communicating bullish bias without requiring numerical analysis.
Bearish Scenario (ml_prob < -1.0):
• Upper Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Lower Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive downside target
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed downward, immediately communicating bearish bias.
Neutral Scenario (-1.0 < ml_prob < 1.0):
Both ranges use balanced multipliers, creating a symmetrical box that indicates uncertainty.
B. DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BOOSTER (SESSION-BASED ADAPTATION)
The prediction box adjusts its volatility multiplier based on the current session and market conditions to account for intraday volatility patterns.
AM Session (Morning: 07:00-12:00):
• Base Multiplier: 1.0x (Neutral Base)
• Logic: Morning sessions often contain false breakouts and noise. The base multiplier starts neutral to avoid over-projecting during consolidation.
• Trend Booster: Multiplier jumps to 1.5x when:
Price > London Session Open AND AI is Bullish (ml_prob > 0), OR
Price < London Session Open AND AI is Bearish (ml_prob < 0)
• Logic: When the London trend (typically 03:00-08:00 NY time) aligns with the AI model's directional conviction, the indicator aggressively targets higher volatility expansion. This filters for "institutional follow-through" rather than random morning chop.
PM Session (Afternoon: 13:00-16:00):
• Fixed Multiplier: 1.8x
• Logic: The PM session, particularly the 13:30-16:00 ICT Silver Bullet window, often contains the "True Move" of the day. A higher baseline multiplier is applied to emphasize this session's significance over morning noise.
Safety Floor:
A minimum range of 0.2% of the current price is enforced regardless of volatility conditions.
• Purpose: Maintains the prediction box visibility during extreme low-volatility consolidation periods where ATR might collapse to near-zero values.
Volatility Clamp Protection:
Maximum volatility is capped at three times the current ATR value. During flash crashes, circuit breaker halts, or large overnight gaps, raw volatility calculations can spike to extreme levels. This clamp prevents prediction boxes from expanding to unrealistic widths.
Technical Implementation:
f_get_ai_multipliers(float _prob) =>
float _abs_prob = math.abs(_prob)
float _range_mult = 1.0
float _dur_mult = 1.0
if _abs_prob > 30
_range_mult := 1.8
else if _abs_prob > 10
_range_mult := 1.2
else
_range_mult := 0.7
C. PRACTICAL INTERPRETATION
• Wide Upper Range + Tight Lower Range: Strong bullish conviction. The model expects significant upside with limited downside risk.
• Tight Upper Range + Wide Lower Range: Strong bearish conviction. The model expects significant downside with limited upside.
• Symmetrical Range: Neutral/uncertain market. Wait for directional confirmation before entry.
• Large Box (Extended Duration): High-confidence prediction expecting sustained movement.
• Small Box (Short Duration): Low-confidence or choppy conditions. Expect quick resolution.
III. PRACTICAL USAGE GUIDE: METHODOLOGY AND EXECUTION
A. ESTABLISHING TRADING CONTEXT (THE THREE CHECKS)
The primary goal of the dashboard is to filter out low-probability trade setups before they occur.
• Timeframe Selection: Although the core AI is normalized to the Daily context, the indicator performs optimally on intraday timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) where session-based volatility is most pronounced.
• PHASE Check (Timing): Always confirm the current phase. The highest probability signals typically occur within the visually highlighted NY AM/PM Killzones because this is when institutional liquidity and volume are at their peak. Signals outside these zones should be treated with skepticism.
• MARKET REGIME Check (Bias): Ensure the signal (BUY/SELL arrow) aligns with the established MARKET REGIME bias (BULLISH/BEARISH). Counter-bias signals are technically allowed if the score is high, but they represent a higher risk trade.
• VIX REGIME Check (Risk): Review the VIX REGIME for overall market stress. Periods marked DANGER (high VIX) indicate elevated volatility and market uncertainty. During DANGER regimes, reducing position size or choosing a wider SL Multiplier is advisable.
B. DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION (THE REAL-TIME STATUS DISPLAY)
The indicator features a non-intrusive dashboard that provides real-time, context-aware information based on the core analytical engines.
PHASE: (PRE-MARKET, NY-AM, LUNCH, NY-PM)
• Meaning: Indicates the current institutional session time. This is derived from the customizable session inputs.
• Interpretation: Signals generated during NY-AM or NY-PM (Killzones) are generally considered higher-probability due to increased institutional participation and liquidity.
MARKET REGIME: (BULLISH, BEARISH, NEUTRAL)
• Meaning: The established directional bias for the trading day, confirmed by the price breaking above the Pre-Market High (PMH) or below the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Interpretation: Trading with the established regime (e.g., taking a BUY signal when the regime is BULLISH) is the primary method. NEUTRAL indicates that the PMH/PML boundary has not yet been broken, suggesting market ambiguity.
VIX REGIME: (STABLE, DANGER)
• Meaning: A measure of overall market stress and stability, based on the CBOE VIX index integration. The thresholds (20.0 and 35.0 default) are customizable by the user.
• Interpretation: STABLE indicates stable volatility, favoring momentum trades. DANGER (VIX > 35.0) indicates extreme stress; signals generated in this environment require caution and often necessitate smaller position sizing.
SIGNAL SCORE: (0 to 10+ Points)
• Meaning: The accumulated score derived from the VOLATILITY NORMALIZED AI SCORING ENGINE, factoring in bias, VWAP alignment, volume, and the Z-Score probability.
• Interpretation: The indicator generates a signal when this score meets or exceeds the Minimum Entry Score (default 3). A higher score (e.g., 7+) indicates greater statistical confluence and a stronger potential entry.
AI PROBABILITY: (Bull/Bear %)
• Meaning: Directional probability derived from the ML kernel, expressed as a percentage with Bull/Bear label.
• Interpretation: Higher absolute values (>20%) indicate stronger directional conviction from the ML model.
LIVE METRICS SECTION:
• STATUS: Shows current trade state (LONG, SHORT, or INACTIVE)
• ENTRY: Displays the entry price for active trades
• TARGET: Shows the calculated Take Profit level
• ROI | KILL ZONE:
◦ For Active Trades: Displays real-time P&L percentage during NY session hours.
◦ At Market Close (16:00 NY): Since this is a NY session-specific indicator, any active position is automatically evaluated and closed at 16:00. The final result (VALIDATED or INVALIDATED) is determined based on whether the trade reached profit or loss at market close.
◦ Result Persistence: The killzone result (VALIDATED/INVALIDATED) remains displayed on the dashboard until the next NY AM KILLZONE session begins, providing a clear performance reference for the previous trading day.
Note: If a trade is still trending at 16:00, it will be force-closed and evaluated at that moment, as the indicator operates strictly within NY trading hours.
C. SIGNAL GENERATION AND ENTRY LOGIC
The indicator generates signals based on two distinct technical setups, both of which require the accumulated SIGNAL SCORE to be above the configured Minimum Entry Score.
Breakout Entry
• Trigger Condition: Price closes beyond the Pre-Market High (PMH) or Low (PML).
• Rationale: This setup targets the initial directional movement for the day. A breakout confirms the institutional bias by decisively breaking the first major structural boundary, making the signal high-probability.
Continuation Entry
• Trigger Condition: The market is already in an established regime (e.g., BULLISH), and the price closes above the high (or below the low) of the previous bar, while the SIGNAL SCORE remains high. Requires the Allow Trend Continuation parameter to be active.
• Rationale: This setup targets follow-through trades, typically in the afternoon session, capturing momentum after the morning's direction has been confirmed. This filters for sustainability in the established trend.
Execution: Execute the trade immediately upon the close of the bar that prints the BUY or SELL signal arrow.
D. MANAGING RISK AND EXITS
1. RISK PARAMETER SELECTION
The indicator immediately draws the dynamic TP/SL zones upon entry.
• Volatility-Based (Recommended Default): By setting the SL Multiplier (e.g., 1.5) and the TP Multiplier (e.g., 3.0), the indicator enforces a constant, dynamically sized risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2 in this example). This helps that risk management scales proportionally with the current market volatility (ATR).
• Structural Override: Selecting the Use Structural SL parameter fixes the stop-loss not to the ATR calculation, but to the more significant structural level of the PMH or PML. This is utilized by traders who favor institutional entry rules where the stop is placed behind the liquidity boundary.
2. EXIT METHODS
• Hard Exit: Price hits the visual TP or SL box boundary.
• Soft Exit (Momentum Decay Filter): If the trade is active and the SIGNAL SCORE drops below the Exit Score Threshold (default 3), it indicates that the momentum supporting the trade has significantly collapsed. This serves as a momentum decay filter, prompting the user to consider a manual early exit even if the SL/TP levels have not been hit, thereby preserving capital during low-momentum consolidation.
• Market Close Auto-Exit: At 16:00 NY time, any active trade is automatically closed and classified as VALIDATED (profit) or INVALIDATED (loss) based on current price vs. entry price.

🔔 ALERT CONFIGURATION GUIDE
The indicator is equipped with specific alert conditions.
How to Set Up an Alert:
Click the "Alert" (Clock icon) in the top TradingView toolbar.
Select "Market Regime NY Session " from the Condition dropdown menu.
Choose one of the specific trigger conditions below depending on your strategy:
🚀 Available Alert Conditions
1. BUY (Long Entry)
Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bullish Setup is detected.
Conditions: Market Bias is Bullish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Long positions or close existing Short positions.
2. SELL (Short Entry)
Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bearish Setup is detected.
Conditions: Market Bias is Bearish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Short positions or close existing Long positions.
V. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS
⚠️ Intraday Only (Timeframe Compatibility)
This indicator is strictly designed for Intraday Timeframes (1m to 4h).
Daily/Weekly Charts: The session logic (e.g., "09:30-16:00") cannot function on Daily bars because a single bar encompasses the entire session. Session boxes, TP/SL zones, and AI prediction boxes will NOT draw on the Daily timeframe. Only the PDH/PDL liquidity lines remain visible on Daily charts. This is expected behavior, not a limitation.
Maximum Supported Timeframe: All visual components (session boxes, killzone overlays, TP/SL zones, AI prediction boxes) are displayed up to the 4-hour timeframe. Above this timeframe, only PDH/PDL lines and the dashboard remain functional.
⚠️ Drawing Object Limit (Max 500)
A single script can display a maximum of 500 drawing objects (boxes/lines) simultaneously.
On lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), where many signals and session boxes are generated, older history (typically beyond 10-14 days) will automatically disappear to make room for new real-time data.
For deeper historical backtesting visualization, switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h).
The indicator implements FIFO array management to comply with this limit while maintaining the most recent and relevant visual data.
VI. PRACTICAL TRADING TIPS AND BEST PRACTICES
• Killzone Confirmation: The highest statistical validity is observed when a high-score signal occurs directly within a visible NY AM/PM Killzone. Use the Killzones as a strict time filter.
• Liquidity Awareness (PDH/PDL): Treat the Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL) lines as magnets. If your dynamic Take Profit (TP) is placed just above PDH, consider adjusting your target slightly below PDH or utilizing the Soft Exit, as liquidity absorption at these levels often results in sudden, sharp reversals that stop out a trade just before the target is reached.
• VIX as a Position Sizer: During DANGER VIX regimes, the resulting high volatility means the ATR value will be large. It is prudent to either reduce the SL Multiplier or, more commonly, reduce the overall position size to maintain a constant currency risk exposure per trade.
• Continuation Filter Timing: Trend Continuation signals are most effective during the Afternoon (PM) session when the morning's directional breakout has had time to establish a strong, clear, and sustainable trend. Avoid using them in the initial AM session when the direction is still being contested.
• 16:00 Market Close Rule: All trades, boxes, and lines are automatically cleaned up at 16:00 NY time. This prevents overnight chart clutter and maintains visual clarity.

APC HIRO Proxy Flow PressureAP Capital – HIRO Proxy (Flow Pressure)
AP Capital – HIRO Proxy is a price- and volume-based flow pressure oscillator designed to approximate institutional hedging / directional pressure using only native chart data.
⚠️ This is a proxy model. It does not use options-market data or real SpotGamma HIRO feeds.
🔍 What this indicator does
The indicator measures directional efficiency × volume pressure on every bar, accumulates it intraday, and then normalizes the result using a Z-score so it adapts cleanly across symbols and timeframes.
The output is displayed as candle-style pressure bars, making momentum shifts and pressure flips visually obvious.
🧠 Core Logic
Directional Efficiency
Measures how effectively price closes within its candle range
Strong closes near highs/lows increase pressure
Volume Weighting
Pressure is weighted by volume (optionally logarithmic)
Prevents single spikes from distorting the signal
Cumulative Flow
Pressure accumulates bar-by-bar
Optional daily reset for intraday trading
Z-Score Normalization
Normalizes pressure relative to recent history
Allows consistent thresholds across assets
📊 How to read the indicator
Green candles above zero
→ Net bullish pressure (buyers in control)
Red candles below zero
→ Net bearish pressure (sellers in control)
Zero line
→ Neutral balance / transition zone
±1 / ±2 Z-Bands
→ Elevated or extreme pressure conditions
Triangle signals
▲ Up Pressure → Z-score crosses above positive threshold
▼ Down Pressure → Z-score crosses below negative threshold

SULTAN NEXUS INTRADAY v2.2SULTAN NEXUS is a professional-grade intraday trading system that dynamically maps institutional supply and demand zones. It features a unique 3-layer MTF Guard system (H1, M15, M5) and an ATR-based risk calculator to provide a complete trading plan directly on your dashboard.
1. The Nexus Engine (Originality) SULTAN NEXUS does not use static pivot points. It calculates a dynamic "Market Range" over a user-defined lookback period. It then mathematically applies Zone Thickness % to identify the most critical areas where price is likely to react.
2. 3-Layer MTF Guards (How it works) To solve the problem of trading against the trend, we have implemented Triple-Timeframe Alignment.
H1 Guard: Ensures the macro trend is in your favor.
M15 Guard: Confirms medium-term momentum.
M5 Gate: Only opens the trade when the immediate price action aligns. If these timeframes conflict, the dashboard displays a "MTF CONFLICT" warning, keeping you out of low-probability trades.
3. Fixed RR Risk Dashboard This script provides a real-time trading plan:
Dynamic SL: Calculated using ATR padding to prevent "stop-hunting."
TP1 (Equilibrium): Automatically targets the 50% midpoint of the range.
TP2 (External Zone): Targets the opposing Supply or Demand zone for maximum Risk/Reward.
4. Filtering Noise We use an ADX Minimum Filter to ensure the market is trending before suggesting a signal. This prevents the indicator from giving "Buy/Sell" signals in a chop market.
How to Use:
Wait for price to enter a Green (Demand) or Red (Supply) zone.
Check the Status Dashboard. If it says "BUY NOW," the MTF Guards and ADX filters are aligned.
Follow the Entry, SL, and TP levels provided in the Buy/Sell Plan on the dashboard.
Session Anchored OIWAP [Arjo]The Session Anchored OIWAP (Open Interest Weighted Average Price) indicator shows you a weighted average price that uses Open Interest (OI) changes during different trading sessions . It divides the day into four clear sessions: Opening Hour , Morning Session , Mid-Day Session , and Closing Session .
For each session , it calculates a weighted average price using both market price and open interest data from futures . This line updates as the session progresses and resets when a new session starts .
You can also see optional deviation bands that you visually compare to how far the market price is moving away from the session’s weighted average. This indicator also helps you watch how Open Interest changes connect with price movements during specific market hours.
Concepts
This tool works on a few simple ideas:
Session anchoring
Each session starts fresh. The indicator resets and begins a new calculation when a new time block begins. This allows users to visually study each session independently.
Open-interest weighting
Instead of treating all price moves equally, price changes linked to higher open-interest activity have more influence on the OIWAP. This gives a weighted reflection of where the market has been trading during the session.
Averaging and smoothing
The OIWAP line blends many price data points into one smooth curve, making it easier to follow than raw price movement.
Volatility display with bands
The upper and lower bands are placed at ±0.5 standard deviation from the OIWAP line. These bands simply help you see when price stretches further away than usual from the session average.
Features
Four Independent Session Calculations: Shows separate OIWAP lines for Opening Hour (default: 09:15-10:15), Morning (10:15-11:30), Mid-Day (11:30-14:00), and Closing (14:00-15:30) sessions
Open Interest Weighting: Uses absolute OI change as the weight instead of traditional volume
Customizable Session Times: You can change the time ranges for each session to match your market or what you need
Optional Deviation Bands: You can turn ±0.5 standard deviation bands on or off around each OIWAP line
Color-Coded Sessions: Each session has its own color so you can tell them apart easily
Selective Display: You can turn individual sessions and bands on or off
Data Availability Check: Shows you a notification when Open Interest data isn't available for your symbol
Adjustable Position Timeframe: You can calculate OI changes on different timeframes (Chart, Daily, 15min, 30min, 60min, 120min)
How to use
Add this indicator to a chart of any symbol that has Open Interest data ( from futures or derivatives contracts). Once you add it, you'll see colored lines showing the OIWAP for each session you enable, along with optional deviation bands.
Adjusting Settings:
Turn individual sessions on or off using the checkboxes in the " Sessions " section
Change session colors to match your chart or what looks good to you
Turn deviation bands on or off using the " Show Bands " option in the Display settings
Change session time ranges in the " Session Times " section to match your market hours or what you want to analyze
Change the Position Timeframe if you want to see OI changes calculated on a different time period
Visual Interpretation:
Each OIWAP line shows you the OI-weighted average price for that session
The deviation bands show you how much prices spread out, weighted by OI changes
You can watch how price interacts with these levels to see where significant OI activity happened
Different sessions may show different OIWAP levels, showing you how the OI-price relationship changes throughout the trading day
Note:
This indicator needs Open Interest data to work. If OI data isn't available for your symbol, you'll see a message in the center of your chart. This indicator works only with derivatives markets like futures and options in the Indian Market where OI data is publicly available.
Conclusion
The Session Anchored OIWAP indicator is designed to support structured market observation by combining price, open interest, and session anchoring into a clear visual format. It helps users study market behavior during different parts of the day without generating trading instructions or outcomes.

Options Liquidity Meter (OLM)❓ The question behind this indicator
When trading options, it is common to experience situations where price moves in the expected direction, yet the option contract does not increase in value as anticipated.
This typically happens when one or more of the following conditions is missing:
Insufficient liquidity participation
Lack of volatility expansion
Weak or passive order flow
Options Liquidity Meter (OLM) was created to address this specific question:
“If price moves from here, are there conditions for option premiums to actually expand?”
🎯 What this indicator does
Options Liquidity Meter is a context tool, not a trading system.
It evaluates whether the current market environment is favorable for option premium expansion , based on three core engines:
Liquidity (Relative Volume)
Measures whether price movement is supported by meaningful participation.
Volatility State
Identifies compression, release, and expansion phases, where options tend to respond differently.
Order Flow Activity (OBV-based)
Acts as a proxy for active vs. passive participation, helping filter hollow moves.
These components are combined into a single, easy-to-read options context.
🟢🟡🔴 Options Context Output
The indicator displays one consolidated state:
RED — NO EXPANSION
Price may move, but option premiums often do not respond.
YELLOW — BUILDING
Liquidity or volatility is developing. Conditions are improving but not fully aligned.
GREEN — EXPANSION LIKELY
Liquidity, volatility expansion, and active flow are aligned.
This is a favorable environment for option premium expansion.
The same logic is reflected visually through the background color and summarized in the dashboard.
📊 How to read the dashboard
The dashboard shows:
Liquidity: LOW / OK / HIGH
Volatility: COMPRESSED / RELEASED / EXPANDING
Order Flow: FLAT / ACTIVE
Options Context: NO EXPANSION / BUILDING / EXPANSION LIKELY
Below, a Background Color Meaning section explains what each color represents, making the indicator intuitive and educational.
📍 Where to apply this indicator
Options Liquidity Meter must be applied to the underlying asset chart, such as:
Indices (SPY, SPX, QQQ, etc.)
Stocks
Futures
ETFs
It is not designed to be applied to option contracts themselves.
The indicator evaluates the market conditions of the underlying, which are the drivers that influence option premium behavior.
Contract selection (strike, delta, gamma, expiration) remains the trader’s responsibility.
🧠 How to use it
Use your own methodology to define:
Direction
Structure
Entries and exits
Use Options Liquidity Meter to evaluate:
Whether the current environment supports option premium expansion
If the context is RED, be cautious — price may move without rewarding options.
If the context is GREEN, the environment is statistically more favorable for options responsiveness.
🔗 Complementary tools
Options Liquidity Meter is designed to complement, not replace, other tools.
It works well alongside:
Opening Path Selector (EMA200 Context Tool)
For deciding which asset offers the cleanest directional context.
Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key Levels
For in-chart structure, bias, and reference levels.
Each tool addresses a different stage of the decision process and can be used independently.
⚠️ Important notes
This indicator provides context only
It does not generate trading signals
No indicator guarantees results

DM for access
Open Interest Weighted Average Price [Arjo]Open Interest Weighted Average Price , or OIWAP , is a simple visual indicator that shows the average price of an asset based on changes in open interest .
Instead of using trading volume like VWAP, this indicator gives more weight to prices where new futures contracts are being added or removed . This helps highlight the price levels where traders are actively building or closing positions.
The indicator shows:
A main line that represents the average price weighted by open interest changes.
Upper and lower bands (standard deviation bands) that show how far the price moves away from this average.
OIWAP is mainly useful for NSE futures markets , where open interest data is available. It helps traders visually understand where most market participation and positioning are taking place relative to price .
Concepts:
Applies statistical concepts, including weighted averaging and standard deviation, to open interest data
Uses the absolute change in open interest as a weighting factor for each price point
Creates a dynamic average that reflects where significant open interest activity has occurred during a given period
Standard deviation bands are computed from this weighted average to show the statistical spread of prices around the OIWAP line
Resets calculations based on user-selected time periods (daily, weekly, monthly, or session-based)
Allows for fresh analysis at regular intervals
Similar concept to volume-weighted average price (VWAP) indicators, but uses open interest changes as the weighting component
Features:
Weighted Average: Calculates a central line based on contract activity.
Flexible Anchors: Allows users to choose the reset period for the calculation.
Volatility Bands: Displays outer and mid-bands to visualize price stretches.
Data Check: Built-in alerts notify you if Open Interest data is missing for a symbol.
Visual Zones: Color-coded areas help identify price location at a glance.
How To Use
When you add the indicator to your chart, you will see:
A main OIWAP line — the open-interest-weighted price level
Mid-bands around the line (±0.5 standard deviations)
Outer bands farther away (±2.0 standard deviations)
Shaded background zones between these lines
You can:
Change the reset period to see how the average behaves over different time ranges
Adjust the timeframe for open-interest data
Turn mid-bands on or off
Adjust colors and styles to improve readability
Conclusion
The OIWAP indicator serves as an educational tool for visualizing the relationship between price movements and open interest activity in futures markets
Presents a weighted average price line along with statistical deviation bands
Offers a structured framework for chart analysis
Customizable settings allow users to adapt the display to their analytical preferences
Maintains focus on visual interpretation rather than directional predictions
Functions as a supplementary charting overlay that may complement other forms of technical and fundamental analysis

VORB DJB Trades V1VORB by DJB Trades (Version 1) is a complete intraday framework built around the New York session Opening Range Breakout (ORB), combined with higher-timeframe VWAPs and precise Fair Value Gap mapping.
This tool is designed to give you context, levels and confluence at a glance – no more stacking 5 different indicators on your chart.
🔶 Core ORB Logic (NY Session)
• Uses the 09:30–09:45 NY time 15-minute ORB range.
• Draws an ORB box from high to low during the ORB window.
• Projects clean high/low ORB lines across the session (up to your chosen end time, default 18:00 NY).
• Displays the ORB size in points above the box
• 1 point = 4 ticks (futures-style logic).
This gives an instant sense of how “wide” or “tight” the opening drive was, and how much room you have for trend or mean-reversion plays.
📐 Daily VWAP (Intraday Bias)
• Custom anchor time (default 18:00, NY session close style).
• Plots Daily VWAP plus +/-1 standard deviation bands.
• Full styling controls: colors, line widths, band fill etc.
• You can limit visibility to specific timeframes via dropdown (e.g. only show on 1–5m, or just intraday).
VWAP +/-1 deviation bands gives you intraday bias and “fair value” zones to frame trades around the ORB.
🕒 Higher Timeframe VWAPs (Weekly, Monthly, Yearly)
All three higher-TF VWAPs are calculated the same way (volume-weighted, streaming) but anchored at different structural points:
• Weekly VWAP – resets at the start of each week
• Monthly VWAP – resets at the start of each month
• Yearly VWAP – resets at the start of each year
Each has:
• Main VWAP line
• ±/-1 standard deviation bands
• Independent color / width / band fill settings
• Timeframe visibility controls (“show from TF” & “show up to TF”) so you can do things like:
⁃ Weekly VWAP only from 5m and above
⁃ Monthly on 1h and higher
⁃ Yearly only on Daily/Weekly/Monthly
Use these as higher-timeframe bias references and key dynamic value areas above/below the ORB.
📊 1m FVGs (Outside ORB & VWAP Bands)
For precision entries:
• Detects 1-minute Fair Value Gaps (classic 3-candle pattern):
⁃ Bullish FVG: low > high
⁃ Bearish FVG: high < low
• Only plots FVGs that are:
⁃ Outside the ORB range, and
⁃ Outside the Daily VWAP +/-1 bands
• FVG boxes are auto-extended to the right (4× original width) for clear “liquidity pockets”.
• Separate colors for bullish and bearish FVGs.
This helps you focus only on “clean” imbalances away from the opening chop and mid-range value.
⚙️ Customisation & Use
• Works best on US indices, FX and futures during the NY session.
• Optimised for 1m–15m ORB trading, but higher-TF VWAPs shine on 5m, 15m, 1h and Daily.
• Every visual element (ORB box, lines, VWAPs, bands, FVGs, label text/bg) is fully customisable in the settings.

Liquidity Sweep Sniper AP StyleAP Capital – Liquidity Sweep Sniper (Fab-Style)
📌 Overview
This indicator is a precision scalping tool inspired by professional liquidity-based trading concepts often demonstrated by elite intraday scalpers.
The script focuses on liquidity sweeps followed by strong displacement, aiming to capture short, high-probability momentum moves — particularly effective on lower timeframes (1–5 min) during active market sessions.
It is not a signal spam tool. Signals appear only when multiple objective conditions align.
🧠 Core Concept
Markets do not move randomly — they seek liquidity before expanding.
This indicator identifies:
Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity
Liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts)
Strong displacement candles reclaiming price
Optional higher-timeframe trend alignment
Only when all conditions are met does a signal print.
🔍 What the Indicator Detects
1️⃣ Liquidity Pools
Equal highs or equal lows detected within a configurable lookback
Minimum number of touches required
ATR-based tolerance to adapt to volatility
These levels represent areas where stop orders are likely resting.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep
A valid sweep requires:
Price to wick beyond the liquidity level
Candle to close back inside the range
This indicates failed breakout / stop-hunt behaviour.
3️⃣ Displacement Confirmation
After the sweep, the candle must show:
Strong body (default >60% of candle range)
Candle range large relative to ATR
Clear directional intent (momentum)
This filters out weak reactions and chop.
4️⃣ Optional Trend Filter
EMA-based higher-timeframe bias
Helps align scalps with dominant direction
Can be enabled or disabled
📈 Signals
BUY: Sell-side liquidity sweep → bullish displacement
SELL: Buy-side liquidity sweep → bearish displacement
Signals are plotted directly on the chart and can be used with alerts.
⚙️ Recommended Usage
Markets: XAUUSD, indices, liquid FX pairs
Timeframes: 1m–5m
Sessions: London & New York (best performance)
Risk Management: Always required — this tool does not place trades
Best used as a confirmation tool, not standalone.
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator is inspired by liquidity-based scalping concepts, not an exact replication of any individual trader’s private strategy.
No indicator predicts the future — this tool highlights high-probability scenarios, not guarantees.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
[ARTIO] TTG Levels Pro: The Grail (S.C.T.) TTG Levels Pro Professional Multi-Timeframe & Intraday Analysis Tool
This indicator is a comprehensive solution for analyzing Key Levels across multiple timeframes and tracking intraday structure. It automates the calculation of significant Support/Resistance zones and provides real-time Volume Weighted data.
How it works (Technical Methodology):
Multi-Timeframe Levels (HTF): The script uses request.security() to fetch High and Low pivot data from higher timeframes (1M, 1W, 1D, 4H, 1H). It identifies the most relevant "unbroken" range levels and projects them onto the current chart.
Intraday Structure (VWAP & Bisector):
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): Calculated cumulatively from the start of the trading day. This represents the fair value based on volume distribution.
Daily Bisector (Midpoint): Calculates the 50% retracement level of the current daily range (High + Low) / 2. This updates dynamically with every tick as the daily range expands.
Visualization Engine:
History Mode: Users can toggle "Path" mode to see how the VWAP and Bisector levels evolved throughout the session (stepline visualization).
Clean Mode: Users can switch to a straight-line projection to keep the chart clean, focusing only on current values.
Features:
Monitor 6 Timeframes simultaneously.
Dynamic Alert System (Price Proximity & Trend Direction).
Synergy Detection: Alerts when multiple timeframe levels cluster together within a defined % range.
Customizable Dashboard Table.
Settings are fully customizable via the inputs menu.
Quantum Edge First Signal DetectorQuantum Edge is a non-repainting, multi-confirmation indicator that detects the first high-probability BUY & SELL signals using momentum, trend, volume, volatility, and price-action voting logic.
🧠 About This Indicator
Quantum Edge – First Signal Detector is designed to solve one common trader problem:
too many late or repeated signals.
Instead of firing continuous entries, this indicator focuses only on the FIRST valid signal after a market shift — helping traders enter early, reduce noise, and avoid over-trading.
It uses a quantum-style voting engine where multiple independent market factors must align before a signal is confirmed.
⚙️ Core Logic (How It Works)
Each candle is evaluated using 6 independent factors:
RSI Momentum
Bullish when RSI > 50
Bearish when RSI < 40
Price Location
Price near recent highs or lows
Volume Expansion
Current volume above moving average
EMA Trend Direction
EMA 20 vs EMA 50
Candle Strength
Strong bullish or bearish candle bodies
Volatility Filter
ATR-based low volatility confirmation
Each factor gives 1 vote.
When minimum confirmations are met, a FIRST BUY or FIRST SELL signal is generated.
🚀 Key Features
✅ First-Signal-Only Logic
Only the first BUY or SELL after trend change
No repeated signals in the same direction
Built-in signal cooldown (user-controlled)
✅ Non-Repainting
Signals are confirmed on candle close
No future data, no repainting
✅ Smart Trend Filtering
EMA-based directional bias
Avoids weak counter-trend entries
✅ Advanced Visual System
Clear BUY / SELL triangles
Trend, volume & momentum backgrounds
Support & resistance zones
Market sentiment bar coloring
✅ Alert Support
Buy alert
Sell alert

New Rate - PREMIUM v2New Rate - PREMIUM v2
New Rate - PREMIUM v2 is an intraday Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy built around a strict one-trade-per-day execution model.
The strategy defines a price range using the first N candles of a user-defined session, freezes the High/Low at the close of candle N, and places OCO stop orders exactly at those levels. The first breakout fills, the opposite order is canceled, and no further trades are allowed until the next trading day.
This script is published for educational and research purposes, with documented mechanics and backtest settings to support transparency and reproducibility.
How the strategy works
Session range construction
The user selects a minutes-based timeframe, a session start time, and the number of candles N. During the session window, the strategy tracks the highest High and lowest Low formed by the first N candles. These candles are visually highlighted on the chart.
Range freeze
When candle N closes, the range is locked. Horizontal High/Low lines are drawn and extended forward. An optional 50% midpoint can be displayed for reference.
OCO breakout execution
Immediately after the range is frozen, the strategy places:
A buy stop at the frozen High
A sell stop at the frozen Low
Orders are linked using OCO (One-Cancels-Other) logic. When one side fills, the opposite order is automatically canceled.
Exit management
Two exit frameworks are available:
Tick-based exits: stop-loss and take-profit are fixed distances in ticks from entry.
Risk/Reward exits: optional stop at the opposite side of the range, with TP calculated as RR × risk.
Both modes can display SL/TP boxes projected forward for visual review.
Daily execution lock
After the first filled trade of the day, the strategy blocks any new entries until the next daily reset. This enforces strict discipline and prevents over-trading.
Visual features
Configurable High/Low lines and labels (color, style, width, alignment)
Optional midpoint (50%) line
Session background highlight with adjustable opacity
Optional SL/TP boxes with configurable colors, borders, and projection length
Weekday filter (trade only selected days)

Backtest context and limitations
This strategy uses stop orders that may fill intrabar depending on TradingView’s execution model.
Results vary by symbol, timeframe, session selection, and trading costs.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
This script is not financial advice.
Originality and usefulness
While opening-range breakouts are a known concept, this strategy’s implementation focuses on:
Exact range-freeze timing: orders are armed precisely at the close of the N-th candle.
True OCO + hard daily lock: one-and-done execution enforced at the engine level.
Dual exit framework: fixed-tick and RR exits analyzed with the same SL/TP visual logic.
Operational safeguards: weekday filters and drawing limits designed for stable long-term backtesting.
Session Volume Profile - Asia London NYSession Volume Profile – Asia, London, NY
Description
OVERVIEW
Session Volume Profile is a technical analysis indicator designed to visualize how volume is distributed during the three primary global trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. The script separates intraday volume data into time-defined sessions to help traders observe where trading activity concentrated and how value areas evolve as liquidity transitions between regions.
This indicator is intended for market structure and contextual analysis, not signal generation.
TECHNICAL OUTPUT
For each enabled session, the indicator calculates and displays:
Point of Control (POC)
The price level with the highest traded volume during the session.
Value Area High / Low (VAH / VAL)
The price range containing a user-defined percentage of total session volume (commonly 70%).
Session Volume Histogram
A horizontal volume-at-price visualization showing relative participation across price levels, highlighting high- and low-volume areas.
CALCULATION FRAMEWORK
Session Segmentation
Sessions are identified using exchange-based time boundaries. Each session is processed independently to prevent overlap and ensure clean separation of volume data.
Volume Binning
Intraday volume is allocated into discrete price buckets using an array-based structure. The resolution of these buckets is controlled by the Histogram Density input.
Value Area Expansion
The script identifies the session’s POC and expands outward in both directions until the selected percentage of total volume is reached, defining the Value Area High and Low.
HOW TO USE
Session Context
Observe how price reacts to prior-session POC and value areas when a new session begins.
Customization Controls
Individual sessions can be enabled or disabled, and visual opacity can be adjusted to maintain clarity on lower timeframes.
Session Awareness
An optional countdown timer displays remaining session time to help traders stay aware of upcoming liquidity transitions.
DESIGN NOTES
This indicator visualizes historical volume distribution only. It does not identify specific participants or predict future price behavior. All calculations are derived exclusively from price and volume data available on the chart.
DISCLAIMER
This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not generate trade signals, alerts, or financial advice. Historical volume distributions do not guarantee future market behavior.
