Intraday Volume### Intraday Volume Indicator Explanation
--- this was Mostly created by OpenAI ChatGPT --- it's pretty good!
--- My Commentary: One of the problems I find is with Volume is - it is skewed by the overwhelming volume around the Open and Close. So, as an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to create an indicator to plot the volume everywhere BUT the open.
I added in the CandleColor() function and set the times.
I also changed the Intraday Volume calculation from Cumulative to live.
still Chat GPT - did about 90% of the heavy lift! And, wrote the summary !

The "Intraday Volume" indicator is a custom script designed for use on the TradingView platform. It provides a visual representation of the total accumulated trading volume during the intraday trading session, specifically between the market open and close times. Below is a detailed explanation of its functionality:
#### **Key Features:**
1. **Session Times:**
- The indicator defines the intraday session as the period between 9:30 AM EST (market open) and 4:00 PM EST (market close).
- It uses the `timestamp` function to set these times dynamically for each trading day.
2. **Intraday Volume Calculation:**
- During the defined intraday session, the indicator accumulates the trading volume from each bar (candlestick).
- Outside the intraday session, the volume is reset to `na` (not available) to ensure only intraday data is plotted.
3. **Plotting the Volume:**
- The accumulated intraday volume is plotted as a blue column chart in a separate pane below the price chart.
- This provides a clear visualization of how the trading volume evolves throughout the trading session.
4. **Horizontal Reference Line:**
- A horizontal line is added at zero as a visual reference, making it easier to interpret the volume data.
#### **Use Cases:**
- **Volume Analysis:**
- Traders can use the indicator to identify periods of high or low trading activity during the intraday session.
- Peaks in the volume chart may correspond to key market events, such as news releases or significant price movements.
- **Trend Confirmation:**
- Comparing intraday volume with price action can help traders confirm the strength of a trend or the likelihood of a reversal.
- **Custom Time Frames:**
- Although this script is tailored for regular U.S. market hours, it can be adapted for other markets or time zones by modifying the session times.
#### **Customization:**
- **Colors and Styles:**
- The plot color (blue) and style (columns) can be customized to suit user preferences.
- **Session Times:**
- Users can change the session start and end times to match their trading needs or regional market hours.
This indicator is especially useful for intraday traders seeking insights into trading volume dynamics within the trading day. By visualizing the intraday volume, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market behavior and make informed decisions.

Premarket Std Dev BandsOverview
The Premarket Std Dev Bands indicator is a powerful Pine Script tool designed to help traders gain deeper insights into the premarket session's price movements. This indicator calculates and displays the standard deviation bands for premarket trading, providing valuable information on price volatility and potential support and resistance levels during the premarket hours.
Key Features
Premarket Focus: Specifically designed to analyze price movements during the premarket session, offering unique insights not available with traditional indicators.
Customizable Length: Users can adjust the averaging period for calculating the standard deviation, allowing for tailored analysis based on their trading strategy.
Standard Deviation Bands: Displays both 1 and 2 standard deviation bands, helping traders identify significant price movements and potential reversal points.
Real-Time Updates: Continuously updates the premarket open and close prices, ensuring the bands are accurate and reflective of current market conditions.
How It Works
Premarket Session Identification: The script identifies when the current bar is within the premarket session.
Track Premarket Prices: It tracks the open and close prices during the premarket session.
Calculate Premarket Moves: Once the premarket session ends, it calculates the price movement and stores it in an array.
Compute Averages and Standard Deviation: The script calculates the simple moving average (SMA) and standard deviation of the premarket moves over a specified period.
Plot Standard Deviation Bands: Based on the calculated standard deviation, it plots the 1 and 2 standard deviation bands around the premarket open price.
Usage
To utilize the Premarket Std Dev Bands indicator:
Add the script to your TradingView chart.
Adjust the Length input to set the averaging period for calculating the standard deviation.
Observe the plotted standard deviation bands during the premarket session to identify potential trading opportunities.
Benefits
Enhanced Volatility Analysis: Understand price volatility during the premarket session, which can be crucial for making informed trading decisions.
Support and Resistance Levels: Use the standard deviation bands to identify key support and resistance levels, aiding in better entry and exit points.
Customizable and Flexible: Tailor the averaging period to match your trading style and strategy, making this indicator versatile for various market conditions.
Previous and Premarket High/Low IndicatorDescription:
The "Previous and Premarket High/Low" indicator is designed to help traders identify key levels during the premarket, postmarket, and regular trading sessions. It highlights the highest and lowest prices during the premarket session and the previous trading day, providing critical levels for intraday trading strategies.
Features:
Customizable Display Settings: Users can adjust the colors, line styles, and line widths for the premarket and previous day high/low levels.
Session Labels: Clear labels indicating premarket and postmarket sessions for easy identification.
Alerts: Set alerts for significant price movements, such as new highs or lows during premarket and previous trading sessions.
NSDT Custom High and Low LinesFirst, the credit for the original script to plot a High and Low between a certain time goes to developer paaax.
I took that idea, converted it to Pinescript V5, cleaned up the code, and added a few more lines so you can plot different levels based on time of day.
Published open source like the original.
The example shown has:
Blue - plotting from the start of the Futures Asian session to the start of the Futures USA Session. (6:00PM - 9:30AM Eastern)
Yellow - plotting from the start of the Futures Europe session to the start of the Futures USA Session. (3:00AM - 9:30AM Eastern)
Green - plotting from the start of the Futures US Premarket session to the start of the Futures USA Session. (8:00AM - 9:30AM Eastern)
These are great levels to use for breakouts and/or support and resistance.
Combine these levels with the 5 min Open Range levels, as you have some good trades.
Each of the three sessions have individual start and end times that can be modified by the trader, so you can easily mark off important areas for your style of trading.

[Pt] Premarket Breakout StrategyThis is a 1 trade per day strategy for trading SPY or QQQ index. By default, this is designed for 1 min time frame. This was an experimental script that seems to be profitable at the time of publication.
How it works:
Pre-market high and low is defined per trading day between 9:00 to 9:30 EST.
Then we looking for the first breakout on either PM high or PM low.
- Breakout high = long trade
- Breakout low = short trade
If long trade, we wait until Stochastic RSI D signal line to hit a lower threshold (18 by default). Then we enter long when K crosses above D line.
If short trade, we wait until Stochastic RSI D signal line to hit an upper threshold (82 by default). Then we enter short when K crosses below D line.
Stop loss for long
- set to PM low if entry is above PM high + %ATR buffer
- or set to PM range + %ATR buffer
Stop loss for short
- set to PM high if entry is below PM low + %ATR buffer
- or set to PM range + %ATR buffer
Profit target is set to 2x the risk by default.
*Note: Different Stochastic RSI lengths should be used if trading 5 min time frame. See tooltip.
Happy trading~~!
Pre-Market levels for Futures This indicator draws the Pre-Market Low and High for futures. Futures do not really have "P.M" because they are almost always open, but I chart /ES and trade $SPY options, so this has been useful in finding P.M levels.
