TimeMapTimeMap is a visual price-reference indicator designed to help traders rapidly visualize how current price levels relate to significant historical closing prices. It overlays your chart with reference lines representing past weekly, monthly, quarterly (3-month), semi-annual (6-month), and annual closing prices. By clearly plotting these historical price references, TimeMap helps traders quickly gauge price position relative to historical market structure, aiding in the identification of trends, support/resistance levels, and potential reversals.
How it Works:
The indicator calculates the precise number of historical bars corresponding to weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual intervals, dynamically adjusting according to your chart’s timeframe (intraday, daily, weekly, monthly) and chosen market type (Stocks US, Crypto, Forex, or Futures). Historical closing prices from these periods are plotted directly on your chart as horizontal reference lines.
For intraday traders, the script accurately calculates historical offsets considering regular and extended trading sessions (e.g., pre-market and after-hours sessions for US stocks), ensuring correct positioning of historical lines.
User-Configurable Inputs Explained in Detail:
Market Type:
Allows you to specify your trading instrument type, automatically adjusting calculations for:
- Stocks US (default): 390 minutes per regular session (780 minutes if extended hours enabled), 5 trading days/week.
- Crypto: 1440 minutes/day, 7 trading days/week.
- Forex: 1440 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
- Futures: 1320 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
Show Weekly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one week ago. Provides short-term context and helps identify recent price momentum.
Show Monthly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one month ago. Helpful for evaluating medium-term price positioning and monthly trend strength.
Show 3-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from three months ago. Useful for assessing quarterly market shifts, intermediate trend changes, and broader market sentiment.
Show 6-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from six months ago. Useful for identifying semi-annual trends, significant price pivots, and longer-term support/resistance levels.
Show 1-Year Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one year ago. Excellent for assessing long-term market direction and key annual price levels.
Enable Smoothing:
Activates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing of historical reference lines, reducing volatility and providing clearer visual references. Recommended for traders preferring less volatile reference levels.
Smoothing Length:
Determines the number of bars used in calculating the SMA smoothing of historical lines. Higher values result in smoother but slightly delayed reference lines; lower values offer more immediate yet more volatile levels.
Use Extended Hours (Intraday Only):
When enabled (only applicable for Stocks US), it accounts for pre-market and after-hours trading sessions, providing accurate intraday historical line calculations based on extended sessions (typically 780 minutes/day total).
Important Notes and Compliance:
- This indicator does not provide trading signals, recommendations, or predictions. It serves purely as a visual analytical tool to supplement traders’ existing methods.
- Historical lines plotted are strictly based on past available price data; the indicator never accesses future data or data outside the scope of Pine Script’s standard capabilities.
- The script incorporates built-in logic to avoid runtime errors if insufficient historical data exists for a selected timeframe, ensuring robustness even with limited historical bars.
- TimeMap is original work developed exclusively by Julien Eche (@Julien_Eche). It does not reuse or replicate third-party or existing open-source scripts.
Recommended Best Practices:
- Use TimeMap as a complementary analytical reference, not as a standalone strategy or trade decision-making tool.
- Adapt displayed historical periods and smoothing settings based on your trading style and market approach.
- Default plot colors are optimized for readability on dark-background charts; adjust as necessary according to your preference and chart color scheme.
This script is published open-source to benefit the entire TradingView community and fully complies with all TradingView script publishing rules and guidelines.

Fib Speed Resistance Fan"Fib Speed Resistance Fan," automatically draws Fibonacci Speed Resistance Fan lines based on the first and third candles of the trading session. Here’s a breakdown of its functionality:
Functionality
Session Start Time Identification
The script identifies the first candle at 9:15 AM using timestamp(), which ensures it captures the market's opening candle.
Candle Indexing
It determines the index of the first candle (firstCandleIndex) using ta.barssince(time >= sessionStart).
The third candle is found by adding two bars to the first candle's index (thirdCandleIndex = firstCandleIndex + 2).
Ensuring Single Execution
A boolean flag hasDrawn ensures that the lines are drawn only once and do not update on future candles.
Validating Data
It checks if the firstCandleIndex and thirdCandleIndex are valid (validSession).
If conditions are met, it extracts the highs and lows of the first and third candles.
Fibonacci Calculation
The script calculates a 0.75 level price between the first candle high/low and third candle low/high.
This level helps in drawing intermediate Fibonacci fan lines.
Drawing the Fibonacci Speed Resistance Fan
If conditions are valid and hasDrawn is false, the script draws:
Main fan lines from:
First candle high → Third candle low (Blue line)
First candle low → Third candle high (Blue line)

Average Session Range [QuantVue]The Average Session Range or ASR is a tool designed to find the average range of a user defined session over a user defined lookback period.
Not only is this indicator is useful for understanding volatility and price movement tendencies within sessions, but it also plots dynamic support and resistance levels based on the ASR.
The average session range is calculated over a specific period (default 14 sessions) by averaging the range (high - low) for each session.
Knowing what the ASR is allows the user to determine if current price action is normal or abnormal.
When a new session begins, potential support and resistance levels are calculated by breaking the ASR into quartiles which are then added and subtracted from the sessions opening price.
The indicator also shows an ASR label so traders can know what the ASR is in terms of dollars.
Session Time Configuration:
The indicator allows users to define the session time, with default timing set from 13:00 to 22:00.
ASR Calculation:
The ASR is calculated over a specified period (default 14 sessions) by averaging the range (high - low) of each session.
Various levels based on the ASR are computed: 0.25 ASR, 0.5 ASR, 0.75 ASR, 1 ASR, 1.25 ASR, 1.5 ASR, 1.75 ASR, and 2 ASR.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots lines on the chart representing different ASR levels.
Customize the visibility, color, width, and style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) of these lines for better visualization.
Labels for these lines can also be displayed, with customizable positions and text properties.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.

Candlesticks Patterns [TradingFinder] Pin Bar Hammer Shooting🔵 Introduction
Truly, the title "TradingView" doesn't do justice to this excellent website, and that's why I've written about its crucial aspect. In this indicator, the identification of all candlesticks known as "Pin bars" is explored.
These candlesticks include the following:
- Hammer : A Pin bar formed at the end of a bearish trend, with its body being either bearish or bullish.
- Shooting Star : Formed at the end of a bullish trend, with its body being either bearish or bullish.
- Hanging Man : Formed during an upward trend, characterized by a candle with a lower shadow.
- Inverted Hammer : Formed during a downward trend, characterized by a candle with an upper shadow.
🟣 Important : For ease of use, we refer to these four candlestick patterns as Pin Bars and categorize them into the main friends "Bullish" and "Bearish."
🟣 Important : In all sources, Hanging Man and Inverted Hammer are referred to as "Reversal candles." However, in reality, whenever they appear after breaking a significant area (Break Out), we expect these candles to signal a continuation of the trend and confirmation in the direction of the trend.
🟣 Important : One of the best signs of market manipulation and entry by market giants is the "Ice Berg." So, it provides one of the best trading opportunities.
🔵 Reason for Creation
Many traders, especially volume traders, use Pin bars as confirmation and enter the market after their occurrence. In this indicator, all four patterns are identified and displayed in a colored candle format, using "triangle" and "circle."
When they are evident on the chart, directly or by drawing a horizontal line, they give us good alerts for reversal or continuation areas.
🔵 Information Table
1. Red circle: Pin bars formed in a downtrend.
2. Blue circle: Bullish Pin bars formed in an uptrend.
3. Black triangle: Bearish Pin bar candle in an uptrend.
4. Blue triangle: Bullish Pin bar candle in a downtrend.
🔵 Settings
Trend Detection Period: A special feature that considers smaller or larger fluctuations. If individual price waves need to be considered, use lower numbers; if the overall trend direction is desired, use larger numbers (e.g., 5-7 or higher). This precisely sets the Zigzag or Pivot format, not displayed but considered in the indicator calculation.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
🟣 Important : Black triangles "Number 3" and blue triangles "Number 4" displayed in the information table section, as explained in the "Information Table" section.
Show Bullish Pin Bar : When set to "Yes," displays bullish Pin bars; when set to "No," does not display them.
Show Bearish Pin Bar : When set to "Yes," allows the display of bearish Pin bars; when set to "No," does not display them.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
Show Info Table : Allows the display or non-display of the information table (located at the bottom of the page and on the right side).
🔵 How to Use
At the end of a downtrend, look for "Hammer" candles, easily identified one by one.
To identify the "Shooting Star" candle pattern at the end of an uptrend; expect a price reversal in the downtrend.
For trades in the downward direction, wait for the formation of an "Inverted Hammer" Pin bar.
And finally, in an uptrend, where a "Hanging Man" candle can form.
🔵 Features
For better visualization, triangles and circles are used above the candles, but they can be easily removed. All Pin bars are displayed in color with the following meanings:
- Black-bodied candle: Inverted Hammer
- Turquoise blue candle: Hammer
- Pink candle: Hanging Man
- Red candle: Shooting Star
🟣 Important : The capability to detect the powerful two-candle pattern "Tweezer Top" at the end of an uptrend emerges by forming two "Shooting Star" candles side by side.
Similarly, the two-candle pattern "Tweezer Bottom" is created at the end of a downtrend with the formation of two "Hammer" candles side by side. To identify the "Tweezer" pattern, make sure the settings in the "Trend Effect" section are set to "Off."
🟣 Auxiliary Indicators
During the start of trading sessions such as Asia, London, and New York, where the highest liquidity exists, alongside this indicator, you can use the Trading Sessions indicator.
Sessions
The combination of Order Blocks "-OB" and "+OB" with candles is one of the best trading methods. The indicator that identifies order blocks, along with this indicator, can yield remarkable results in the success of Pin bar candles.
Order Blocks Finder

ORB Session BreakoutORB Session Breakout
Overview
The ORB Session Breakout indicator automatically identifies Opening Range Breakouts across multiple trading sessions (Asia, London, and New York) and provides visual trade setups with entry, stop loss, and take profit levels.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is a classic trading strategy that captures momentum when price breaks out of an initial trading range established at the start of a session. This indicator automates the entire process - from detecting the opening range to plotting trade setups when breakouts occur.
🎯 Key Features
Multi-Session Support
Asia Session - Captures the Asian market open (default: 19:00-19:15 NY time)
London Session - Captures the London market open (default: 03:00-03:15 NY time)
New York Session - Captures the NY market open (default: 09:30-09:45 NY time)
Each session is fully customizable with independent time windows and colors
Enable/disable individual sessions based on your trading preferences
Automatic Trade Visualization
Entry Level - Marked at the breakout candle close
Stop Loss Zone - Configurable as ORB High/Low or Breakout Candle High/Low
Take Profit Zone - Calculated automatically based on your Risk:Reward ratio
Visual zones make it easy to see risk/reward at a glance
Smart Breakout Detection
Detects breakouts on the exact candle that closes beyond the ORB range
Supports direction changes - if price breaks one way then reverses, a new trade is signaled
Configurable max breakouts per session (1-4) to control trade frequency
Tracking hours setting limits how long after the ORB to look for entries
Futures Compatible
Special detection logic for futures markets where session times may fall during market close
Works reliably on instruments with non-standard trading hours
📊 How It Works
Opening Range Formation
At the start of each enabled session, the indicator tracks the high and low of the first candle(s)
This range becomes your ORB box (displayed in the session color)
Breakout Detection
When a candle closes above the ORB High → LONG signal
When a candle closes below the ORB Low → SHORT signal
The breakout candle is highlighted in yellow (customizable)
Trade Setup Visualization
Entry line drawn at the breakout candle's close price
Stop Loss placed at ORB Low (longs) or ORB High (shorts) - or breakout candle extreme
Take Profit calculated as: Entry + (Risk × R:R Ratio) for longs
Direction Changes
If you're in a LONG and price closes below the ORB Low, the indicator signals a SHORT
This counts as your 2nd breakout (configurable up to 4 per session)
💡 Trading Tips
Best Practices
Wait for candle close - The indicator only signals on confirmed closes beyond the ORB, reducing false breakouts
Use with trend - ORB breakouts work best when aligned with the higher timeframe trend
Respect the levels - The ORB High/Low often act as support/resistance throughout the session
Monitor multiple sessions - Sometimes the best setups come from Asia or London, not just NY
Recommended Settings by Style
Conservative: Max Breakouts = 1, R:R = 2.0+, SL Mode = ORB Level
Aggressive: Max Breakouts = 3-4, R:R = 1.5, SL Mode = Breakout Candle
Scalping: Shorter tracking hours (1-2), tighter R:R (1.0-1.5)
What to Avoid
Trading ORB breakouts during major news events (high volatility can cause whipsaws)
Taking every signal without considering market context
Using on timeframes higher than 1 hour (the ORB concept works best intraday)
🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
Entry Signal - When a breakout is detected (LONG or SHORT)
Take Profit Hit - When price reaches the TP level
Stop Loss Hit - When price reaches the SL level
To set up alerts: Right-click on the chart → Add Alert → Select "ORB Session Breakout"
📝 Notes
This indicator is designed for intraday trading on timeframes up to 1 hour
Session times are based on the selected timezone (default: America/New_York)
The indicator works on all markets including Forex, Futures, Stocks, and Crypto
For futures with non-standard hours, the indicator includes special detection logic
[turpsy] Midnight Opening Range-Fractal Midnight Open Range-Fractal Combined Trading System
Overview
This indicator combines Midnight Opening Range (MOR) analysis with HTF candle structure and fractal patterns to provide a comprehensive intraday trading framework. Unlike simple mashups, this system integrates three complementary methodologies that work together to identify high-probability trading zones.
Core Components & Synergy
1. MOR (Midnight Opening Range) Indicator
- Tracks the first 30 minutes of each trading day (00:00-00:30)
- Draws historical and current session boxes with quartile levels (25%, 50%, 75%)
- Custom opening price lines for key market times (NY Open 9:30, London Close, etc.)
- Concept:
Price tends to respect the opening range boundaries; quartiles act as support/resistance
2. HTF (Higher Timeframe) Candles
- Displays up to 6 higher timeframe candles alongside your chart
- Shows Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances (VI)
- Presents First Presented FVG (PFVG) - the initial gap after a fractal
- Concept:
HTF structure provides context for LTF entries; FVGs are magnetic price targets
3. Fractal Pattern Detection with CISD
- Identifies swing highs/lows using HTF candle structure
- CISD (Change in State of Delivery) lines mark confirmed fractal breaks
- Chart sweeps show liquidity grabs
- Concept: Fractals mark key market structure; CISD confirms directional bias
4. Killzones & Session Analysis
- Asia, London, NewYork AM/PM, and Lunch sessions
- Session highs/lows with pivot tracking
- Day/Week/Month opens and separators
- Concept: Specific sessions show characteristic volatility and directional behavior
5. ADR/CDR Analysis
- Average Daily Range and Current Daily Range tracking
- Shows percentage of ADR completed
- Concept: Helps gauge if there's room for continuation or if exhaustion is likely
How They Work Together
1. Context: It uses HTF candles and MOR boxes to identify the bigger picture structure
2. Timing: It uses Killzones to show when institutional activity is highest
3. Entry: It uses Fractals with CISD confirm structure breaks; FVGs provide entry zones
4. Risk Management: ADR/CDR helps set realistic profit targets and assess if move is extended
Original Contributions
This script significantly improves upon the base components by:
- Integrating 1-minute data feed for accurate Midnight Open Range calculations on all timeframes
- Adding PFVG detection synchronized with fractal patterns
- Creating logarithmic midpoint calculations between HTF candles
- Implementing chart sweep detection for liquidity analysis
- Adding CISD projection lines at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 extensions
How to Use
1. Enable desired HTF timeframes and MOR settings
2. Watch for PFVG formation after HTF candle closes
3. Look for CISD line breaks during killzone sessions
4. Enter at FVG mitigation zones aligned with MOR quartiles
5. Monitor ADR% to gauge move potential

Session Relative VolumeSession Relative Volume is an advanced intraday futures volume indicator that analyzes volume separately for Asia, London, and New York sessions - something standard relative volume tools can’t do.
Instead of aggregating the entire day’s volume, the indicator compares current volume to historical averages for the same session and time of day, allowing you to spot true volume strength and meaningful spikes, especially around session opens.
Background
Relative volume helps traders spot unusual activity: high volume often signals institutional participation and trending days, while low volume suggests weak commitment and possible mean reversion. In futures markets, sessions ( Asia, London, New York ) must be analyzed separately, but TradingView’s Relative Volume in Time aggregates the entire day, masking session-specific behavior - especially during the New York open. Since volume can vary by more than 20× between sessions, standard averages struggle to identify meaningful volume spikes when trader conviction matters most.
Indicator Description
The “Session Relative Volume” indicator solves these problems by calculating historical average volume specific to each session and time of day, and comparing current volume against those benchmarks. It offers four display modes and fully customizable session times
Altogether, it provides traders with a powerful tool for analyzing intraday futures volume, helping to better assess market participation, trader conviction, and overall market conditions - ultimately supporting improved trading decisions.
Parameters
Mode – display mode:
R-VOL: Relative cumulative session-specific volume at time
VOL CUM: Cumulative session volume at time compared to historical average cumulative session-specific volume
VOL AVG: Average session intrabar volume at time compared to historical average session-specific intrabar volume
VOL: Individual bars volume, highlighting (solid color) unusual spikes
Lookback period – number of days used for calculating historical average session volume at time
MA Len – length of the moving average, representing average bar volume within a session based on previous periods (different from historical cumulative volume!). Used only in VOL and VOL AVG modes
MA Thresh – deviation from moving average, used to detect bar volume spikes (bar volume > K × moving average)
Start Time – End Time and Time Zone parameters for each session. The time zone must be set using TradingView’s format (e.g., GMT+1).

VWAP Flow ParmezanThe "Official Bank Flow VWAP" is a comprehensive trading suite designed for institutional Forex traders.
This indicator solves the problem of chart clutter by combining two critical components of liquidity: Price (Value) and Time (Sessions). It is specifically optimized for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on intraday timeframes (M5, M15), helping you identify high-probability setups where "Fair Value" meets "Volatility."
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe VWAP Hierarchy Unlike standard indicators, this tool visualizes the interaction between three distinct timeframes:
Daily VWAP (Dynamic Color): Your primary trend filter. Green when Bullish (Price > VWAP), Red when Bearish (Price < VWAP).
Weekly VWAP (Orange Dots): Represents the medium-term balance. Acts as a magnet for mean reversion mid-week.
Monthly VWAP (Purple Line): The institutional "line in the sand." Major support/resistance level.
2. Standard Deviation Bands (Market Balance) The indicator plots SD1 and SD2 bands around the Daily VWAP:
Inner Zone (SD1): Represents the "Fair Value" area.
Outer Bands (SD2): Represents overbought/oversold conditions. Useful for identifying mean reversion plays back to the center.
3. Official Exchange Sessions (Time) Forget confusing "killzones." This tool highlights the Official Open times for major exchanges, adjusted for Daylight Savings via New York time:
London Open (08:00 LDN): The start of European volume.
New York Open (08:00 NY): The injection of US liquidity.
London Close/Fix: The daily overlap close, often marking trend reversals.
Note: Sessions are visualized with non-intrusive black "shadow" backgrounds to keep your chart clean.
4. "Ghost" Levels (Previous VWAP) A unique feature that plots the closing VWAP level of the previous day. Institutional algorithms often target these "untested" levels as Take Profit targets or liquidity pools.
How to Use
Trend Following: If Price is above the Daily VWAP (Green) during the London Open, look for Long entries targeting the SD1/SD2 upper bands.
Mean Reversion: If Price hits the SD2 Band while far away from the Weekly VWAP, look for a reversal back to the mean.
Confluence: The strongest signals occur when price touches a key VWAP level (e.g., Weekly VWAP) specifically during the highlighted Session Start times.
Settings
Timezone: Defaults to America/New_York to automatically handle DST shifts for London/NY opens.
Visuals: Fully customizable colors and transparency. Default is set to a "Dark Mode" friendly professional palette.
52 Week High LowPurpose
This indicator plots the rolling **52-week high and low price levels** to highlight long-term breakout zones, major support/resistance bands, and trend structure used by position and swing traders.
## How It Works
The script dynamically calculates:
- The highest high over the last ~260 trading sessions (52-week high)
- The lowest low over the last ~260 trading sessions (52-week low)
- Visual bands that update in real time as price evolves
## Best Timeframe
Optimized for **daily charts** to reflect true yearly price ranges.
Can be adapted to other timeframes using the bar-count inputs.
## Trading Applications
✅ Breakout confirmation tool
✅ Long-term trend validation
✅ Relative strength filter alignment
✅ RRG and momentum cross-checks
✅ Swing trade zone identification
## How To Use
1. Apply to daily charts.
2. Track price interaction with the 52-week bands.
3. Look for:
- Breakouts above the high band for trend continuation
- Pullbacks toward the high band for retest entries
- Rejections at the low band as breakdown confirmation
⚠️ This indicator maps key price structure — it does **not predict directional outcomes**.
Always combine with volume or momentum confirmation.
---
## Mathematical Basis
Rolling extreme calculations based on:
- **Highest high over N bars**
- **Lowest low over N bars**
N defaults to **52 weeks × 5 sessions = 260 bars** for daily charts.

Developed for professional retail traders seeking institutional-grade structural tools.
AP Capital – Volatility + High/Low Projection v1.1📌 AP Capital – Volatility + High/Low Projection v1.1
Predictive Daily Volatility • Session Logic • High/Low Projection Indicator
This indicator is designed to help traders visually understand daily volatility conditions, identify session-based turning points, and anticipate potential highs and lows of the day using statistical behavior observed across thousands of bars of intraday data.
It combines intraday session structure, volatility regime classification, and context from the previous day’s expansion to highlight high-probability areas where the market may set its daily high or daily low.
🔍 What This Indicator Does
1. Volatility Regime Detection
Each day is classified into:
🔴 High Volatility (trend continuation & expansion likely)
🟡 Normal Volatility
🔵 Low Volatility (chop, false breaks, mean-reversion common)
The background color automatically adapts so you always know what environment you're trading in.
2. Session-Based High/Low Identification
Different global sessions tend to create different market behaviors:
Asia session frequently sets the LOW of day
New York & Late US sessions frequently set the HIGH of day
This indicator uses those probabilities to highlight potential turning points.
3. Potential High / Low of Day Projections
The script plots:
🟢 Potential LOW of Day
🔴 Potential HIGH of Day
These appear only when:
Price hits the session-statistical turning zone
Volatility conditions match
Yesterday’s expansion or compression context agrees
This keeps signals clean and prevents over-marking.
4. Clean Visuals
Instead of cluttering the chart, highs and lows are marked only when conditions align, making this tool ideal for:
Session scalpers
Day traders
Gold / NAS100 / FX intraday traders
High-probability reversal traders
🧠 How It Works
The engine combines:
Daily range vs 20-day average
Real-time intraday high/low formation
Session-specific probability weighting
Previous day expansion and volatility filters
This results in highly reliable signals for:
Fade trades
Reversal setups
Timing entries more accurately
✔️ Best Uses
Identifying where the day’s range is likely to complete
Avoiding trades during low-volatility compression days
Detecting where the market is likely to turn during major sessions
Using potential HIGH/LOW levels as take-profit zones
Enhancing breakout or reversal strategies
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator does not repaint, but it is not a standalone entry tool.
It is designed to provide context, session awareness, and volatility-driven turning points to assist your existing strategy.
Always combine with sound risk management.
Session Range Boxes GR v2.1This indicator draws intraday range boxes for the main Forex sessions based on Europe/Budapest time (CET/CEST).
Tracked sessions (Budapest time):
Asia: 01:00 – 08:00
Frankfurt (pre-London): 08:00 – 09:00
London: 09:00 – 18:00
New York: 14:30 – 23:00
For each session, the script:
Detects the session start and session end using the current chart timeframe and the Europe/Budapest time zone.
Tracks the high and low of price during the session.
Draws a colored box from session open to session close, covering the full price range between the session high and low.
Draws a white midline inside every box at the midpoint between the session high and low (and keeps it visible for all past sessions).
Optionally plots a small label (“Asia”, “Fra”, “London”, “NY”) above the first bar of each session.
Color scheme:
Asia: soft orange box
Frankfurt: light aqua box
London: darker blue box
New York: light lime box
Use this tool to:
Quickly see which session created the high or low of the day,
Highlight important liquidity zones and prior session ranges that price may revisit,
Visually separate Asia, Frankfurt, London and New York volatility profiles on intraday charts.
Optimized for intraday trading (Forex / indices), but it works on any symbol where session behavior and time-of-day structure matter.
Liquidity Hunter Pro v11.9 — TQI EditionLiquidity Hunter Pro v12 is built for intraday traders who want structure, clarity, and precision without unnecessary clutter. The tool blends market structure, momentum, trend alignment, volatility regime analysis, and liquidity mapping into a single unified model.
This version focuses on three core goals:
1. Identify only high-quality, directional market conditions.
The engine filters through HTF bias, short-term structure shifts, RSI momentum, and volatility compression/expansion. The idea is simple: wait for the market to become clean, aligned, and directional before considering an entry.
2. Map liquidity and detect sweeps in real time.
Major highs and lows are tracked using extended pivots, and the system highlights key areas where stop hunts or sweeps may occur. Sweeps and pressure zones are evaluated and factored directly into the quality score.
3. Grade every potential setup with a single, objective metric (TQI).
The Trade Quality Index (0–5⭐) compresses all signals into one reading so the trader can quickly judge whether a setup has enough quality to act on.
The script includes:
• Trend + Momentum + Structure detection
• HTF bias (optional)
• Volatility regime analysis
• Liquidity sweeps + pressure zones
• Micro-confirmation engine
• PQI (0–100%)
• TQI (0–5⭐)
• Clean HUD and Driver’s Guide
• Auto-cleaning labels and signal management
• Optional session filtering (London/NY)
This tool is designed for traders who value confirmation over noise.
It will not fire constantly.
It will wait patiently for clean, directional, aligned markets — and only then issue a signal.
How to Use Liquidity Hunter Pro v12
1. Check the HUD (top-right by default)
The HUD is your dashboard. Before doing anything:
A. HTF Bias
This is your map. Only trade in the direction of the bias.
B. Trend / Momentum / Structure
These should ideally all match the direction of the bias.
If they don’t line up → wait. No alignment = low probability.
C. Liquidity + Volatility Regime
“Sweep ↑→↓” or “Sweep ↓→↑” = potential reversal points
“Expansion” = clean conditions
“Compression” = choppy, avoid
You don’t need to overthink any of this — just think:
“Are the ingredients lined up?”
2. Wait for a valid signal
The indicator will only trigger a BUY or SELL when:
✓ HTF bias aligns
✓ Trend & momentum align
✓ Structure supports the move
✓ Micro-confirmation kicks in
✓ PQI ≥ 75
✓ Sessions are open (optional)
Signals are rare on purpose.
When one prints, you know the market conditions are stacked.
3. Read the label
Each signal prints a small block next to the candle containing:
• Entry price
• SL (based on structure)
• TP(2R) suggestion
• Liquidity context (e.g., sweep or pressure)
• Volatility regime
• TQI ⭐ rating (0–5)
This helps you judge the setup instantly.
A simple rule for beginners:
Trade only if TQI ≥ ⭐⭐⭐
Lower than that = more noise, less edge.
4. Use the liquidity zones
The script plots subtle boxes at recent liquidity highs/lows.
These mark:
• Where the market may hunt stops
• Where reversals often start
• Where signals are more meaningful
When a signal happens near liquidity → higher quality.
5. Follow the session filter (optional but recommended)
By default the tool focuses on:
• London session
• New York session
That removes 70% of low-volatility garbage.
You can turn this off if you trade crypto or indices overnight, but beginners usually benefit from keeping it on.
Recommended Settings
These are the settings used by most testers and early users.
Everything is configurable, but start with this:
Core Settings
• Fast EMA: 21
• Slow EMA: 55
• RSI Length: 14
• Pivot Lookback: 2
These settings create balanced structure detection and smooth trend signals.
HTF Bias
• Use HTF Bias: ON
• HTF Timeframe: 240 (H4)
H4 bias keeps you out of counter-trend traps.
Sessions
• Use London/NY Filter: ON
• London: 08:00–17:00
• New York: 13:30–21:00
Perfect for FX, indices, and metals.
Crypto traders: turn sessions OFF.
HUD + Guide
• HUD: ON
• Guide: ON
• Linger Bars: 12
This keeps things readable and prevents clutter.
Trading Tips for Beginners
These help keep you out of trouble:
1. Don’t fade the bias.
If HTF says bearish → avoid buys.
2. Don’t trade in compression regimes.
It saves you from chop.
3. Don’t chase signals that fire far from structure.
If the signal candle is huge, let it go.
4. Don’t trade without at least ⭐⭐⭐.
You’ll thank yourself later.
Final Thoughts
Liquidity Hunter Pro v12 isn’t meant to spam signals.
It’s meant to filter hard, highlight clean conditions, and help new traders avoid the traps the market throws every day.
Treat it as a trading assistant that tells you:
“The environment is right. Now you decide.”

LibTmFrLibrary "LibTmFr"
This is a utility library for handling timeframes and
multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis in Pine Script. It provides a
collection of functions designed to handle common tasks related
to period detection, session alignment, timeframe construction,
and time calculations, forming a foundation for
MTF indicators.
Key Capabilities:
1. **MTF Period Engine:** The library includes functions for
managing higher-timeframe (HTF) periods.
- **Period Detection (`isNewPeriod`):** Detects the first bar
of a given timeframe. It includes custom logic to handle
multi-month and multi-year intervals where
`timeframe.change()` may not be sufficient.
- **Bar Counting (`sinceNewPeriod`):** Counts the number of
bars that have passed in the current HTF period or
returns the final count for a completed historical period.
2. **Automatic Timeframe Selection:** Offers functions for building
a top-down analysis framework:
- **Automatic HTF (`autoHTF`):** Suggests a higher timeframe
(HTF) for broader context based on the current timeframe.
- **Automatic LTF (`autoLTF`):** Suggests an appropriate lower
timeframe (LTF) for granular intra-bar analysis.
3. **Timeframe Manipulation and Comparison:** Includes tools for
working with timeframe strings:
- **Build & Split (`buildTF`, `splitTF`):** Functions to
programmatically construct valid Pine Script timeframe
strings (e.g., "4H") and parse them back into their
numeric and unit components.
- **Comparison (`isHigherTF`, `isActiveTF`, `isLowerTF`):**
A set of functions to check if a given timeframe is
higher, lower, or the same as the script's active timeframe.
- **Multiple Validation (`isMultipleTF`):** Checks if a
higher timeframe is a practical multiple of the current
timeframe. This is based on the assumption that checking
if recent, completed HTF periods contained more than one
bar is a valid proxy for preventing data gaps.
4. **Timestamp Interpolation:** Contains an `interpTimestamp()`
function that calculates an absolute timestamp by
interpolating at a given percentage across a specified
range of bars (e.g., 50% of the way through the last
20 bars), enabling time calculations at a resolution
finer than the chart's native bars.

buildTF(quantity, unit)
Builds a Pine Script timeframe string from a numeric quantity and a unit enum.
The resulting string can be used with `request.security()` or `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
quantity (int) : series int Number to specifie how many `unit` the timeframe spans.
unit (series TFUnit) : series TFUnit The size category for the bars.
Returns: series string A Pine-style timeframe identifier, e.g.
"5S" → 5-seconds bars
"30" → 30-minute bars
"120" → 2-hour bars
"1D" → daily bars
"3M" → 3-month bars
"24M" → 2-year bars
splitTF(tf)
Splits a Pine‑timeframe identifier into numeric quantity and unit (TFUnit).
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Timeframe string, e.g.
"5S", "30", "120", "1D", "3M", "24M".
Returns:
quantity series int The numeric value of the timeframe (e.g., 15 for "15", 3 for "3M").
unit series TFUnit The unit of the timeframe (e.g., TFUnit.minutes, TFUnit.months).
Notes on strings without a suffix:
• Pure digits are minutes; if divisible by 60, they are treated as hours.
• An "M" suffix is months; if divisible by 12, it is converted to years.
autoHTF(tf)
Picks an appropriate **higher timeframe (HTF)** relative to the selected timeframe.
It steps up along a coarse ladder to produce sensible jumps for top‑down analysis.
Mapping → chosen HTF:
≤ 1 min → 60 (1h) ≈ ×60
≤ 3 min → 180 (3h) ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 240 (4h) ≈ ×48
≤ 15 min → D (1 day) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular session 6.5–8 h)
> 15 min → W (1 week) ≈ ×64–×80 for 30m; varies with input
≤ 1 h → W (1 week) ≈ ×32–×40
≤ 4 h → M (1 month) ≈ ×36–×44 (~22 trading days / month)
> 4 h → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×36–×66 (e.g., 12h→×36–×44; 8h→×53–×66)
≤ 1 day → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×60–×66 (~20–22 trading days / month)
> 1 day → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×(252–264)/quantity
≤ 1 week → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×52
> 1 week → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×(208)/quantity
= 1 M → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×48
> 1 M → error ("HTF too big")
any → error ("HTF too big")
Notes:
• Inputs in months or years are restricted: only 1M is allowed; larger months/any years throw.
• Returns a Pine timeframe string usable in `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or `timeframe.period`).
Returns: series string Suggested higher timeframe.
autoLTF(tf)
Selects an appropriate **lower timeframe LTF)** for intra‑bar evaluation
based on the selected timeframe. The goal is to keep intra‑bar
loops performant while providing enough granularity.
Mapping → chosen LTF:
≤ 1 min → 1S ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 5S ≈ ×60
≤ 15 min → 15S ≈ ×60
≤ 30 min → 30S ≈ ×60
> 30 min → 60S (1m) ≈ ×31–×59 (for 31–59 minute charts)
≤ 1 h → 1 (1m) ≈ ×60
≤ 2 h → 2 (2m) ≈ ×60
≤ 4 h → 5 (5m) ≈ ×48
> 4 h → 15 (15m) ≈ ×24–×48 (e.g., 6h→×24, 8h→×32, 12h→×48)
≤ 1 day → 15 (15m) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular sessions ~6.5–8h)
> 1 day → 60 (60m) ≈ ×(26–32) per day × quantity
≤ 1 week → 60 (60m) ≈ ×32–×40 (≈5 sessions of ~6.5–8h)
> 1 week → 240 (4h) ≈ ×(8–10) per week × quantity
≤ 1 M → 240 (4h) ≈ ×33–×44 (~20–22 sessions × 6.5–8h / 4h)
≤ 3 M → D (1d) ≈ ×(20–22) per month × quantity
> 3 M → W (1w) ≈ ×(4–5) per month × quantity
≤ 1 Y → W (1w) ≈ ×52
> 1 Y → M (1M) ≈ ×12 per year × quantity
Notes:
• Ratios for D/W/M are given as ranges because they depend on
**regular session length** (typically ~6.5–8h, not 24h).
• Returned strings can be used with `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or timeframe.period).
Returns: series string Suggested lower TF to use for intra‑bar work.
isNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Returns `true` when a new session-aligned period begins, or on the Nth bar of that period.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target higher timeframe (e.g., "D", "W", "M").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → checks for the first bar of the new period.
1+ → checks for the N-th bar of the period.
Returns: series bool `true` if the condition is met.
sinceNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Counts how many bars have passed within a higher timeframe (HTF) period.
For daily, weekly, and monthly resolutions, the period is aligned with the trading session.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target parent timeframe (e.g., "60", "D").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → Running count for the current period.
1+ → Finalized count for the Nth most recent *completed* period.
Returns: series int Number of bars.
isHigherTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
higher resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` > active TF; otherwise `false`.
isActiveTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents the
exact resolution of the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` == active TF; otherwise `false`.
isLowerTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
lower resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` < active TF; otherwise `false`.
isMultipleTF(tf)
Returns `true` if the selected timeframe (`tf`) is a practical multiple
of the active skript's timeframe. It verifies this by checking if `tf` is a higher timeframe
that has consistently contained more than one bar of the skript's timeframe in recent periods.
The period detection is session-aware.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string The higher timeframe to check.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` is a practical multiple; otherwise `false`.
interpTimestamp(offStart, offEnd, pct)
Calculates a precise absolute timestamp by interpolating within a bar range based on a percentage.
This version works with RELATIVE bar offsets from the current bar.
Parameters:
offStart (int) : series int The relative offset of the starting bar (e.g., 10 for 10 bars ago).
offEnd (int) : series int The relative offset of the ending bar (e.g., 1 for 1 bar ago). Must be <= offStart.
pct (float) : series float The percentage of the bar range to measure (e.g., 50.5 for 50.5%).
Values are clamped to the range.
Returns: series int The calculated, interpolated absolute Unix timestamp in milliseconds.
