Momentum Structural AnalysisMomentum Structural Analysis (MSA‑style Oscillator)
This indicator implements a simple, MSA‑style momentum oscillator that measures how far price has moved above or below its own long‑term trend on the active timeframe, expressed in percentage terms. Instead of looking at raw price, it "oscillates" price around a timeframe‑appropriate simple moving average (SMA) and plots the percentage distance from that SMA as an orange line around a zero baseline. Zero means price is exactly at its structural trend; positive values mean price is extended above trend; negative values mean it is trading below trend.
The script automatically selects the SMA length based on the chart timeframe:
On daily charts it uses the configurable Daily SMA Length (default 252 trading days, roughly 1 year).
On weekly charts it uses Weekly SMA Length (default 208 weeks).
On monthly charts it uses Monthly SMA Length (default 120 months).
This approach is inspired by the ideas behind Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA), which studies where a market trades relative to long‑term moving averages and then treats the momentum line (the oscillator) as the primary object of analysis. The goal is to highlight structural overbought/oversold conditions and regime changes that are often clearer on momentum than on the raw price chart.
--------------------------------------------------
What the script computes and how it works
For each bar, the indicator:
Chooses an SMA length based on the current timeframe (daily/weekly/monthly).
Calculates the SMA of the close.
Computes the percentage distance:
\text{Diff %} = \frac{\text{Close} - \text{SMA}}{\text{SMA}} \times 100
Plots this Diff % as an orange line, with a dashed horizontal zero line as the base.
This produces a momentum oscillator that oscillates around zero and reflects the "structural" position of price versus its own long‑term mean.
--------------------------------------------------
How to use it on index charts (e.g., NIFTY50)
On indices like NIFTY50, use the indicator to see how stretched the index is versus its structural trend.
Typical uses:
Identify extremes: a). Historically high positive readings can signal euphoric, late‑stage conditions where risk is elevated. b). Deep negative readings can highlight panic/capitulation zones where downside may be exhausted.
Draw structural levels: a). Mark horizontal bands on the oscillator where past turns have occurred (e.g., +15%, −10%, etc. specific to NIFTY50). b). Watch how price behaves when the oscillator revisits these zones: repeated rejections can validate them as structural bounds; clean breaks can indicate a change of regime.
This is not a buy/sell signal generator by itself; it is a framework to understand where the index sits within its long‑term momentum structure and to support risk‑management decisions.
--------------------------------------------------
How to use it on ratio charts
Apply the same indicator to ratio symbols such as NIFTY50/GOLD, BANKNIFTY/NIFTY50, sector vs index, or any spread you plot as a ratio.
On a ratio chart:
The oscillator now measures relative momentum: how far that ratio is above or below its own long‑term mean.
High positive readings = strong outperformance of the numerator vs the denominator (e.g., equities strongly outperforming gold).
Deep negative readings = strong underperformance (e.g., equities structurally lagging gold).
This is very much in the spirit of MSA’s work on spreads between asset classes: it helps visualize major rotations (equities → gold, financials → commodities, etc.) and whether a relative‑performance trend is stretched, reverting, or breaking into a new phase.
--------------------------------------------------
Using multiple timeframes for better decisions
You can stack information across timeframes to get a more robust view:
Monthly : a). Use monthly charts to see secular/structural phases. b). Long multi‑year stretches above or below zero, and large bases or trendline breaks on the monthly oscillator, can mark major bull or bear cycles and big rotations between asset classes.
Weekly : a). Use weekly charts for the primary trend. b). Weekly structures (multi‑month highs/lows, channels, or trendlines on the oscillator) are useful for medium‑term positioning and for confirming or rejecting signals seen on the monthly view.
Daily : a). Use daily charts mainly for timing entries/exits once the higher‑timeframe direction is clear. b). Short‑term extremes on the daily oscillator that align with the larger weekly/monthly structure can offer better‑timed opportunities, while signals that contradict higher‑timeframe momentum are more likely to be noise.

📖 USAGE GUIDE
Entry Signal Types:
The indicator provides three types of entry signals with visual distinction:
Strong Entries (High Confidence):
"BUY" (bright green) / "SELL" (bright red)
Includes traditional entries (crossing back through indication level) and breakout entries (breaking consolidation in trend direction)
These are trend continuation or breakout signals with higher probability
Recommended for all traders
Reversal Entries (Caution - Counter-Trend):
"⚠ BUY" (yellow) / "⚠ SELL" (orange)
Triggered when price breaks out of correction/consolidation in the OPPOSITE direction
Indicates a failed setup and potential trend reversal
More aggressive, counter-trend plays
Can be toggled off in settings for more conservative trading
Recommended only for experienced traders or after thorough backtesting
Swing Length Settings:
The swing length determines how many bars on each side are needed to confirm a swing high/low. This is the most important setting for tuning the indicator to your style.
Auto Mode (Recommended for beginners): Toggle "Use Auto Timeframe Settings" ON
5-minute: 30 bars
15-minute: 20 bars
30-minute: 12 bars
1-hour: 7 bars
4-hour: 5 bars
Daily: 3 bars
Manual Mode: Toggle "Use Auto Timeframe Settings" OFF
Lower values (3-7): More aggressive, detects smaller swings
Pros: More signals, faster entries, catches smaller moves
Cons: More noise, more false signals, requires tighter stops
Best for: Scalping, active day trading, volatile markets
Higher values (12-20): More conservative, only major swings
Pros: More reliable signals, fewer false breakouts, clearer structure
Cons: Fewer signals, delayed entries, might miss smaller opportunities
Best for: Swing trading, position trading, trending markets
Default Manual Setting: 7 bars (balanced for 1H charts)
Minimum: 3 bars
Consolidation Bars Setting:
Determines how many bars without new structure are needed before flagging consolidation.
Lower values (3-10): Faster detection, catches brief pauses, more sensitive
Best for: Lower timeframes, volatile markets, avoiding any chop
Higher values (20-40): More reliable, only flags true extended consolidation
Best for: Higher timeframes, trending markets, patient traders
Current defaults scale with timeframe (more bars needed on shorter timeframes)
Historical S/R Zones:
Shows previous support and resistance levels to provide context.
Default: 2 historical zones (shows current + 2 previous)
Range: 0-3 zones
Visual Hierarchy: Older zones are more transparent with dashed borders
Usage: Higher numbers (2-3) show more historical context but can clutter the chart. Start with 2 and adjust based on your preference.
Live Structure Feature (Yellow Warning ⚠):
Provides early warning of potential structure changes before full confirmation.
What it does: Detects potential swing highs/lows after just 2 bars instead of waiting for full swing_length confirmation
Live Peak: Shows when a high is followed by 2 lower closes (potential top forming)
Live Trough: Shows when a low is followed by 2 higher closes (potential bottom forming)
Important: These are UNCONFIRMED - they may be invalidated if price reverses
Use case: Get early awareness of potential reversals while waiting for confirmation
Displayed in: Info table only (no visual markers on chart to reduce clutter)
Only shows: Peaks higher than last swing high, or troughs lower than last swing low (filters out noise)
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Analysis:
View higher timeframe ICC structure while trading on lower timeframes.
How to enable: Toggle "Show Higher Timeframe ICC" ON
Setup: Set "Higher Timeframe" to your reference timeframe
Example: Trading on 15-minute? Set HTF to 240 (4-hour) or 60 (1-hour)
Example: Trading on 5-minute? Set HTF to 60 (1-hour) or 15 (15-minute)
What it shows:
HTF indication levels displayed as dashed lines
Blue = HTF Bullish Indication
Purple = HTF Bearish Indication
HTF phase and levels shown in info table
Trading workflow:
Check HTF phase for overall market direction
Wait for HTF correction phase
Drop to lower timeframe to find precise entries
Enter when lower TF shows continuation in alignment with HTF
Best practice: HTF should be 3-4x your trading timeframe for best results
Reversal Entries Toggle:
Default: ON (shows all signal types)
Toggle OFF for more conservative trading (only trend continuation signals)
Recommended: Backtest with both settings to see which works better for your style
New traders should consider disabling reversal entries initially
Volatility-Based Zones:
When enabled, support/resistance zones automatically adjust their height based on ATR (Average True Range).
More volatile = wider zones
Less volatile = tighter zones
Toggle OFF for fixed-width zones

BTC – LEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume RatioLEVR: Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio
Observation-only. Data: IntoTheBlock.
Overview
The Leverage Efficiency & Volume Ratio (LEVR) is a market structure oscillator designed to detect "Paper Bubbles" and "Organic Bottoms" by separating speculative greed from network utility. While most indicators analyze price action, LEVR analyzes market fragility. It operates on the thesis that Sustainable Rallies are driven by Spot/Network Activity, while Fragile Rallies are driven by Derivatives Leverage.
Synergy
How it works with VERI
LEVR is designed to be the tactical counterpart to the fundamental VERI Indicator (Valuation & Entity Ratio Index).
Use VERI for Strategy: To identify Value. (Is Bitcoin cheap? Are Whales buying?)
Use LEVR for Risk: To identify Structure. (Is the current price move real, or is it a leverage bubble about to pop?)
The "Perfect Setup"
The strongest buy signals occur when VERI is in the Accumulation Zone (Whales buying) AND LEVR is in the Organic Zone (Leverage is flushed out) (as it was the case in the Dec 2022 Bear Market Bottom).
Why LEVR is Unique
Standard indicators often fail to contextualize Open Interest:
vs. Raw Open Interest: Raw OI always trends up over time as the market grows. LEVR solves this by normalizing OI against Active Addresses. This reveals when leverage is outpacing actual adoption.
vs. ELR (Estimated Leverage Ratio): Classic ELR divides Open Interest by Exchange Reserves. However, Exchange Reserves are notoriously difficult to track accurately. LEVR uses Active Addresses (Network Utility) as a cleaner, more reliable denominator for network health.
Methodology
The Mathematics: The indicator calculates a normalized Z-Score ratio between two IntoTheBlock datasets:
The Numerator (Greed): Perpetual Open Interest. The total dollar value of all open futures contracts. This represents the "Gambling" capital.
The Denominator (Utility): Active Addresses. The number of unique addresses transacting on-chain. This represents the "Real" user base.
The Formula : LEVR = Z-Score ( Perpetual Open Interest / Active Addresses )
How to Interpret the Visuals
The line color changes dynamically to reflect the current risk regime:
🟥 Speculative Premium (Red Line > 2.0) :
Signal: "Leverage Bubble."
Context: Open Interest is rising significantly faster than User Growth. The rally is fueled by debt.
Risk: High probability of a "Long Squeeze" or liquidation cascade.
🟦 Organic Base (Blue Line < -1.5) :
Signal: "Spot Driven Market."
Context: Speculators have been flushed out, but active network usage remains high. The line turns Blue to signal a healthy opportunity zone.
Risk: Low. Historically marks robust bottoms where hands are strong.
🟧 Neutral (Orange Line) :
The market is in a transition phase between organic growth and speculation.
Settings & Inputs
Users can customize the sensitivity of the Z-Score to fit their trading style (in brackets their current standard value):
Lookback Period (365) : The rolling window used to establish the "Baseline." A 365-day window captures the yearly trend.
Signal Smoothing (7) : A short moving average to reduce daily data noise.
Bubble Zone Top/Bottom (3.0 / 2.0) : The thresholds for the Red Zone. Raising the "Top" value will only show the most extreme, generational leverage bubbles.
Organic Zone Top/Bottom (-1.5 / -2.5) : The thresholds for the Green Zone. Lowering these values requires a deeper "flush" to trigger a signal.
Optimization
This indicator is mathematically optimized for the Daily (1D) timeframe. Using it on lower timeframes may result in noise due to the daily resolution of on-chain data.
Important Note on Historical Data
Please be aware that aggregated global Perpetual Open Interest data only becomes reliable and widely available starting around 2020-2021.
Pre-2021: The indicator will show a flat line or empty values. This is not a bug; it reflects the lack of historical derivatives market data for that period.
2021-Present: The indicator functions fully as intended.
Credits
Concept inspired by the "Estimated Leverage Ratio" (ELR) popularised by CryptoQuant and analysts like Willy Woo. LEVR adapts this concept for TradingView by substituting Exchange Reserves with Network Activity for better reliability.

SMT Divergence - Time & Calendar CyclesSMT Divergence - Time & Calendar Cycles
This indicator is a specialized tool designed to detect SMT divergences across multiple fractal structures.
It is powered by a proprietary Cycle Engine, which utilizes a dual-layer processing system to filter, rank, and render divergences based on strict Time Cycles (e.g., 90-minute rolling windows) and Calendar Cycles (e.g., Daily/Weekly structure).
Specifically engineered for precision analysis, this tool features a proprietary architecture that separates permanent historical data from real-time price action, ensuring both backtesting reliability and live execution speed.
1. Core Concept: Automated SMT Detection
SMT Divergences occur when correlated instruments fail to confirm each other's price action at key structural pivots. For example, if the Nasdaq (NQ) makes a higher high while the S&P 500 (ES) fails to do so, this crack in correlation can signal an engineered liquidity grab or an impending reversal.
This indicator automates this analysis by comparing the Main Chart against up to three user-defined "Witness" symbols. It supports Direct Correlation (e.g., NQ vs. ES) and Inverse Correlation (e.g., EURUSD vs. DXY), where the logic automatically inverts to flag Higher Highs vs. Higher Highs as valid divergences. It also features unique "Witness vs. Witness" logic, which cross-verifies the comparison symbols against each other (e.g., Symbol 1 vs. Symbol 2) to find internal market weakness, even if the main chart is currently neutral.
2. How It Works: The Dual-Engine System
To accurately map fractal price action, the indicator splits its logic into two distinct engines which run simultaneously:
2.1 Time Cycles (Intraday Analysis)
Designed for Intraday Macro analysis (targeting specific time windows like 90-minute or 30-minute cycles). These cycles are strictly bound to a user-defined trading session (e.g., 09:30 - 16:00) and repeat continuously (roll over) throughout the entire window until the session ends. At the beginning of every new session, all Time Cycle data is cleared. This ensures that the indicator searches for fresh liquidity voids specific to the current trading day, preventing data pollution from previous days.
2.2 Calendar Cycles (Macro Analysis)
Designed for Higher Timeframe (HTF) structural analysis, monitoring Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly periods. Unlike Time Cycles, Calendar Cycles utilize persistent data arrays that survive session resets. This allows the tool to detect Multi-Day or Multi-Week divergences effectively. It offers smart calculation modes, including "Exchange Session" to prevent ghost lines on Futures charts.
3. The Unified SMT Visualization Architecture
The system's core achievement is the Fractal Time Synthesis , unifying micro (Intraday) and macro (Calendar) analysis by simultaneously projecting divergence signals from Session-Anchored Time Cycles and Continuous Calendar Cycles onto a single chart view. This provides immediate, comprehensive multi-timeframe structural bias verification.
The structural data is clearly delineated into two states: the correct past and the correct live divergences. Divergences from completed cycles are displayed as a definitive record, providing non-repainting historical validation. Concurrently, setups forming currently are tracked dynamically, ensuring real-time responsiveness for analysis across all cycles being monitored.
4. How To Use This Tool
Configuration: Set your Timezone and Session Start/End times in the settings. This ensures the "Time Cycles" align correctly with your specific market.
Select Symbols: Input your comparison symbols (e.g., ES, YM, or inversely DXY). Ensure the "Inverse" toggle is checked for negatively correlated assets.
Cycle Selection: Enable the specific cycles relevant to your strategy (e.g., Daily + 90m Macro).
Render History: Always scroll the chart back to the very beginning of your available price history after loading the indicator or changing timeframes. This ensures the maximum historical data is processed for accurate divergence calculation.
Interpretation - The system flags two conditions: 'Bearish SMT' (Price makes a Higher High, but the correlated asset makes a Lower High) & 'Bullish SMT' (Price makes a Lower Low, but the correlated asset makes a Higher Low)
Confluence: Use the "Live" lines for real-time analysis, and refer to the "Historian" lines to understand the higher timeframe bias.
5. Key Features
5.1 Multi-Symbol & Correlation
Triple-Check Logic: Capable of comparing the Main Chart against Symbol 1, Symbol 2, and Symbol 3 simultaneously.
Cross-Symbol Check: The script can optionally validate Symbol 1 against Symbol 2 (e.g., checking ES vs. YM) and plot the result on your NQ chart, giving you a complete market breadth view.
5.2 Structural Range Validation
The script includes strict validation logic to ensure high-quality data. It automatically verifies that the detected highs and lows are the true extremes of the cycle range. If price action within the cycle breaches the anchor points, the signal is considered structurally invalid and will not be drawn.
This validation process is dynamically controlled by the Lookback Cycles setting. Users define the exact number of preceding historical cycles the current structure must be compared against (e.g., comparing against the last 9 cycles), allowing for customization of the structural depth.
5.3 Professional Drawing & Chart Management
Collision Engine: A proprietary memory map tracks every pixel drawn on the chart. If a lower timeframe cycle tries to draw over a higher timeframe cycle, the engine blocks or suppresses the lower priority signal based on your settings.
Data Integrity: The script automatically validates cycle duration to ensure signals do not span across abnormal time gaps or missing data.
Garbage Collection: The script actively manages internal memory to prevent crashes, allowing for deep backtesting history on lower timeframes.
5.4 Full Customization
Adaptive Coloring: Labels and text automatically switch between black and white based on your background brightness to ensure readability.
Visual Control: Fully customizable line styles, widths, and colors for every individual cycle.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only. SMT Divergence is a concept used to interpret market structure and does not constitute financial advice or a signal to trade. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The name VERI is derived from the Latin Veritas (Truth). In a crypto market often driven by deceptive speculative noise, this indicator seeks to establish the "On-Chain Truth" of a price trend.
It operates on the thesis that price action is only sustainable when verified by high-conviction capital flows.VERI is a fundamental composite oscillator that fuses Entity Behavior (Who is holding?) with Network Valuation (Is the price fair?) to identify Bitcoin market cycle extremes.
The "Alpha"
Why this Composite stands out: on-chain metrics often tell only half the story.
MVRV tells you if the price is cheap, but not if anyone is actually buying.
Whale Activity tells you if large players are moving, but not if they are accumulating at a value discount.
VERI fuses these two dimensions into a single Z-Score. It identifies the rare, high-probability moments where Smart Money Conviction intersects with Deep Value.
Methodology
The Mathematics of VERI: The indicator constructs a composite index using three fundamental metrics from IntoTheBlock:
The "Who" (Entity Ratio) : We calculate the flow ratio between Whales (>1% supply holders) and Retail (<0.1% supply holders). A rising ratio indicates supply is transferring from weak hands to strong hands.
The "Why" (Valuation Multiplier) : We utilize the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio. To isolate value opportunities, we use the inverse (1 / MVRV).
The Fusion : These factors are multiplied to create the raw VERI index.
Normalization & Inversion
We apply a rolling Z-Score (standard deviation from the mean) and invert the result.
How to Interpret the Indicator
Because the output is inverted, the visual logic matches price action intuitively:
🟥 Distribution Zone (High Values > 1.5):
The Signal: "Low Conviction Overvaluation."
Context: The price is historically expensive relative to the cost basis (High MVRV), and Whales are distributing coins to Retail.Implication: Historically precedes macro tops or deep corrections.
🟩 Accumulation Zone (Low Values < -1.5):
The Signal: "High Conviction Undervaluation."Context: The price is historically cheap (Low MVRV), and Whales are aggressively accumulating relative to Retail.
Implication: Historically precedes macro bottoms and generational entry points.
Zero Line : Represents the historical baseline. A crossover of the zero line often confirms a regime shift (e.g., from Bear to Bull).
Visual Guide & Features
Dynamic Coloring: The line turns Red in the Distribution Zone, Blue in the Accumulation Zone, and Orange during neutral trends.
Zone Labels: Static labels are pinned to the left side of the chart for immediate context.
The "Data Check" Monitor (Status Table): Since this indicator relies on third-party fundamental data, we have included a diagnostic table in the bottom-right corner.
Data Check Monitor Guide
STATUS: LIVE (Green): The indicator is functioning correctly. All data feeds (Whales, Retail, MVRV) are being retrieved successfully.
STATUS: WAIT (Red): The indicator cannot retrieve data. This might happen for some reasons, e.g. your TradingView plan may not support IntoTheBlock integration.
Settings
Lookback Period (Default: 365): The window used for Z-Score normalization. We use a full year to smooth out seasonal volatility.
Smoothing (Default: 7): A 7-day smoothing is applied to the signal to filter out daily noise.
Zone Thresholds: Users can customize the specific Z-Score levels for the Distribution and Accumulation bands.

Nexural ORB Nexural ORB - Multi-Timeframe Opening Range Breakout Indicator
Introduction
This indicator was built out of frustration. After testing dozens of ORB tools, both free and paid, I found that most of them either did too little or cluttered the chart with unnecessary information. The Opening Range Breakout is one of the oldest and most reliable intraday strategies, yet most indicators treat it as an afterthought - just a box on the chart with no context.
This is not that kind of indicator.
The Nexural Ultimate ORB tracks the Opening Range across three timeframes simultaneously, provides quality scoring to help you identify high-probability setups, detects when multiple levels align for confluence, and now includes historical ORB data so you can scroll back and review previous sessions. It does not tell you when to buy or sell. It does not promise profits. What it does is give you clean, accurate levels with the context you need to make informed decisions.
I am going to be completely transparent about what this indicator does, how it works, what it does well, and where it falls short. If you are looking for a magic solution that prints money, this is not it. If you are looking for a professional-grade tool that will become a permanent part of your charting setup, keep reading.
What Is The Opening Range Breakout
Before diving into the indicator itself, let me explain the strategy it is built around.
The Opening Range is simply the high and low price established during the first portion of the trading session. For US equities and futures, this typically begins at 9:30 AM Eastern Time. The theory behind trading the Opening Range is straightforward: the first 15, 30, or 60 minutes of trade often sets the tone for the rest of the day. Institutional traders, algorithms, and market makers are all actively positioning during this window, and the levels they establish become reference points for the remainder of the session.
When price breaks above the Opening Range High, it suggests bullish momentum and the potential for continuation higher. When price breaks below the Opening Range Low, it suggests bearish momentum and the potential for continuation lower. The strategy has been used by floor traders for decades and remains relevant today because the underlying market dynamics have not changed - the open is when the most information gets priced in, and the levels established during that period matter.
This indicator does not trade the ORB for you. It identifies the levels, tracks multiple timeframes, and provides context. The actual trading decisions are yours.
How The Opening Range Is Calculated
The indicator calculates the Opening Range for three timeframes:
The 15-Minute ORB captures the high and low from 9:30 AM to 9:45 AM. This is the shortest timeframe and typically produces the tightest range. Breakouts from the 15-minute ORB tend to occur earliest in the session and can provide early directional signals, though they are also more prone to false breakouts due to the narrow range.
The 30-Minute ORB captures the high and low from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM. This is considered by many institutional traders to be the most significant timeframe. The 30-minute window allows enough time for the initial volatility to settle while still capturing the core opening activity. Many professional trading desks reference the 30-minute ORB as their primary intraday framework.
The 60-Minute ORB captures the high and low from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. This is the widest range and produces fewer signals, but those signals tend to be more reliable. The 60-minute ORB is particularly useful on high-volatility days when the 15 and 30-minute ranges get quickly violated.
The calculation itself is simple. As each bar completes during the opening period, the indicator compares the current high and low to the stored values and updates them if new extremes are reached. Once the timeframe completes, the levels lock in and do not change for the rest of the session.
I want to be absolutely clear about one thing: there is no repainting. The ORB levels are calculated in real-time as the opening period develops. Once a timeframe completes, those levels are final. You will not look back at your chart and see different levels than what appeared in real-time. This is critically important for any indicator you use for actual trading decisions.
Visual Hierarchy and Line Styles
One of the main problems with multi-timeframe indicators is visual clutter. When you have six lines on the chart representing three different ORBs, it becomes difficult to quickly identify which level belongs to which timeframe.
This indicator solves that problem through a clear visual hierarchy. Each timeframe has its own color, line width, and line style, all of which are fully customizable.
By default, the 15-Minute ORB uses solid lines with the heaviest weight. This makes it the most prominent on the chart because it is typically the first level to be tested and often the most actively traded.
The 30-Minute ORB uses dashed lines with a medium weight. This keeps it visible but clearly secondary to the 15-minute levels.
The 60-Minute ORB uses dotted lines with a medium weight. This places it in the background as a reference level rather than an active trading zone.
You can change any of these settings. If you prefer to trade the 30-minute ORB exclusively, you can make it solid and bold while keeping the others subtle. If you only want to see the 60-minute ORB, you can disable the other two entirely. The flexibility is there because every trader has different preferences.
The dashboard in the top right corner of the chart displays the corresponding line style next to each timeframe, so you always know which line on the chart matches which row in the dashboard.
The Quality Scoring System
Not every Opening Range is worth trading. Some days produce tight, clean ranges with strong follow-through. Other days produce wide, choppy ranges that lead to multiple false breakouts. One of the most valuable features of this indicator is the Quality Score, which grades each session from A-plus down to C.
The Quality Score is calculated based on several factors:
Range Size is the most important factor. The indicator compares the current ORB range to the average daily range over the past 20 sessions. A tight range, defined as less than 40 percent of the average daily range, receives the highest score. The logic here is simple: tight ranges indicate consolidation, and consolidation often precedes expansion. When the ORB is tight, a breakout has more room to run.
A normal range, between 40 and 80 percent of the average daily range, receives a moderate score. These are typical trading days without any particular edge from a range perspective.
A wide range, greater than 80 percent of the average daily range, receives the lowest score. When the ORB is already wide, much of the day's move may have already occurred during the opening period, leaving less opportunity for breakout continuation.
Volume is the second factor. Above-average volume during the opening period indicates genuine institutional participation. The indicator compares the current volume to the 20-bar average. Significantly elevated volume adds to the quality score, while below-average volume does not penalize the score but does not help it either.
Day of Week matters more than most traders realize. Statistical studies of market behavior consistently show that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday produce cleaner trending days than Monday or Friday. Monday mornings often see erratic price action as the market digests weekend news and repositions. Friday afternoons often see reduced participation as traders close out positions before the weekend. The quality score reflects these tendencies by adding points for mid-week sessions and subtracting points for Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.
Overnight Activity is relevant primarily for futures traders. If the overnight session produced a significant range, defined as greater than half of the average true range, it suggests that institutions were active during the overnight hours. This often leads to more directional behavior during the regular session.
The quality score is displayed in the dashboard as a letter grade. A-plus indicates excellent conditions across multiple factors. A indicates good conditions. B indicates average conditions. C indicates below-average conditions that warrant caution.
I want to be honest about the limitations of this system. The quality score is a guideline, not a guarantee. A C-rated day can still produce a profitable breakout. An A-plus day can still result in a failed breakout that reverses. The score helps you calibrate your expectations and position sizing, but it does not predict the future.
Confluence Detection
Confluence occurs when multiple significant price levels cluster together within a tight range. When the 15-minute ORB high aligns with the overnight high, or when the ORB low sits right at the session opening price, you have confluence. These zones tend to produce stronger reactions because multiple types of traders are watching the same level.
The indicator automatically detects confluence using a tolerance-based system. By default, the tolerance is set to 0.15 percent of price. This means that if two levels are within 0.15 percent of each other, they are considered confluent.
The levels that are checked for confluence include the Session Opening Price, which is the exact price at 9:30 AM. This level matters because it represents the point where the market transitioned from overnight to regular session trading. Many traders reference the opening print throughout the day.
The Overnight High and Low are also checked. For futures markets, this includes all trading from 6:00 PM the previous evening through 9:29 AM. For stocks, this includes extended hours trading. These levels represent the extremes established before the regular session began.
Finally, the indicator checks whether the ORB levels from different timeframes align with each other. When the 15-minute high matches the 30-minute high, that level gains additional significance.
When confluence is detected, two things happen on the chart. First, the affected ORB line changes color to gold, making it visually obvious that this level has additional significance. Second, the dashboard displays a Confluence row at the bottom, alerting you to the condition.
The Confluence label also appears directly on the chart, positioned within the ORB zone so you can immediately see where the confluence exists.
Smart Label System
A common problem with indicators that display multiple price levels is label overlap. When you have six ORB levels plus auxiliary levels like the session open and overnight high and low, the right side of the chart can become a cluttered mess of overlapping text.
This indicator solves that problem with a smart labeling system that combines matching levels. If the 15-minute low, 30-minute low, and 60-minute low are all at the same price, instead of displaying three separate labels, the indicator displays a single label that reads 15L/30L/60L followed by the price.
The system uses a tolerance of 2 percent of the ORB range to determine whether levels are close enough to combine. This keeps the labels clean while still displaying separate labels when levels are meaningfully different.
The labels are positioned to the right of the current price action, extending beyond the last bar so they remain visible as new bars form. Each label includes the level identifier and the exact price value.
Historical ORB Display
This feature addresses one of the most common limitations of ORB indicators: the inability to see previous sessions when scrolling back through your chart.
With the history feature enabled, the indicator stores ORB data for up to 20 previous sessions. When you scroll back in time, you will see the ORB levels for each historical session, drawn from the session start to the session end.
Historical ORBs are displayed with slightly faded colors, using 50 percent transparency compared to the current session. This creates a clear visual distinction between current and historical levels while still allowing you to analyze past price action relative to those levels.
The history depth is configurable. You can set it anywhere from 1 to 20 days depending on your needs. If you primarily care about the current session and the previous day for context, set it to 1 or 2. If you want to analyze an entire week or more of ORB behavior, increase the setting.
You can also disable the history feature entirely by enabling Current Session Only mode. This returns the indicator to showing only the active session, which some traders prefer for a cleaner chart during live trading.
Breakout Detection and Filters
The indicator marks breakouts with triangle signals. A green triangle below the bar indicates a bullish breakout above the ORB high. A red triangle above the bar indicates a bearish breakout below the ORB low.
However, not every crossing of an ORB level represents a valid breakout worth acting on. The indicator includes several filters to reduce false signals.
The Volume Filter requires that volume on the breakout bar be at least 1.2 times the 20-bar average volume. You can adjust this multiplier in the settings. The logic is straightforward: breakouts on weak volume are more likely to fail. A genuine breakout that is going to follow through should be accompanied by above-average participation.
The Time Filter prevents breakout signals after a specified hour. The default is 2:00 PM Eastern. The rationale is that late-session breakouts often lack follow-through because there is not enough trading time remaining for the move to develop. You can adjust or disable this filter based on your trading style.
The Single Trigger mechanism ensures that each breakout fires exactly once per session. If price crosses above the ORB high, you will see one bullish signal on the bar where the crossing occurred. If price subsequently pulls back and crosses above again, you will not see a second signal. This prevents signal spam and keeps your chart clean.
The indicator also includes Reclaim Detection. If price breaks out and then returns back inside the ORB zone, you will see a warning signal marked with an X. This condition often indicates a failed breakout and potential reversal. It is not a trade signal, but rather information that the breakout you just witnessed may not be valid.
Range Extensions
Once the ORB is established, many traders look for profit targets based on the range itself. The indicator includes extension levels that project multiples of the ORB range above and below the extremes.
By default, two extension levels are shown: 1.0 times the range and 1.5 times the range. If the 15-minute ORB is 50 points, the 1.0 extension above the high would be 50 points above the high, and the 1.5 extension would be 75 points above the high.
These extensions serve as potential profit targets for breakout trades. The 1.0 extension represents a measured move equal to the ORB itself. The 1.5 extension represents a slightly more ambitious target.
You can adjust the extension multipliers in the settings. Some traders prefer 0.5 and 1.0. Others prefer 1.0 and 2.0. The flexibility is there to match your trading approach.
The extension lines are displayed as faint dotted lines so they do not compete visually with the ORB levels themselves. The labels show the multiplier value along with the exact price.
## The Midline
The 50 percent level of the ORB, known as the midline, is displayed as a dashed line within the ORB zone. This level matters because it often acts as short-term support or resistance during consolidation periods within the range.
When price is trading inside the ORB and approaches the midline, you may see a reaction. The midline can also serve as a reference for whether price is showing strength or weakness within the range. If price is spending most of its time above the midline, that suggests a bullish bias even before a breakout occurs. If price is spending most of its time below the midline, that suggests a bearish bias.
The midline can be disabled in the settings if you prefer a cleaner chart.
The Dashboard
The dashboard is positioned in the top right corner of the chart and provides all relevant ORB information at a glance.
The header row displays the indicator name, the current Quality Score grade, the Range Classification, and the Session Status.
The Range Classification shows whether the current 15-minute ORB is Tight, Normal, or Wide compared to the 20-day average. This gives you immediate context about whether the range is unusual in either direction.
The Session Status shows whether the market is currently in session or closed. A green Live indicator means the session is active. A red Closed indicator means the session has ended.
Below the header, each timeframe row displays the following information:
The Timeframe column shows 15m, 30m, or 60m along with a visual indicator of the line style you have selected for that timeframe.
The High column displays the ORB high price for that timeframe.
The Low column displays the ORB low price for that timeframe.
The Range column displays the distance between high and low.
The Status column shows the current state. Before the ORB completes, this shows a countdown of minutes remaining. After completion, it shows whether the price has broken out bullish, broken out bearish, or remains in range.
Below the timeframe rows, the Distance row shows how far the current price is from the nearest ORB level. This helps you gauge whether price is approaching a potential breakout zone.
If confluence is detected, a highlighted row appears at the bottom of the dashboard indicating that significant level alignment exists.
Supported Markets and Sessions
The indicator supports multiple market types with appropriate session times:
US Stocks use a session from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern.
US Futures use a session from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern, with overnight tracking from 6:00 PM the previous evening.
Forex uses a 24-hour session since the market trades continuously.
Crypto uses a 24-hour session since the market trades continuously.
Custom allows you to define your own session times for markets not covered by the presets.
The timezone is configurable. The default is America/New_York, but you can change it to Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, or UTC depending on your location and preference.
Settings Overview
The settings are organized into logical groups:
General settings include the market type, current session only toggle, and history days.
Session settings include custom session times and timezone selection.
ORB Timeframes settings include individual toggles for showing or hiding each timeframe, color selection, line width, and line style. This is where you customize the visual appearance of each ORB level.
Quality Scoring settings include the ATR period and range comparison lookback. These affect how the quality score is calculated.
Confluence Detection settings include the tolerance percentage and toggles for the session open and overnight high and low levels.
Breakout Settings include the volume filter toggle and multiplier, time filter toggle and cutoff hour, and reclaim detection toggle.
Visuals settings include toggles for the fill zone, labels, dashboard, distance display, and midline.
Extensions settings include toggles for showing extensions and the multiplier values for each extension level.
How I Use This Indicator
I will share my personal approach, though you should adapt it to your own style.
First, I wait for the ORB to complete. I do not trade during the first 15 to 30 minutes of the session. The levels are still forming, and the price action during this window is often erratic. I let the dust settle and the range establish itself.
Second, I check the Quality Score. If it is an A or A-plus day with a tight range and good volume, I am more aggressive. If it is a C day with a wide range on a Friday afternoon, I am either sitting on my hands or trading with reduced size.
Third, I look for confluence. If the 15-minute high is sitting right at the overnight high, that level has additional significance. Breakouts through confluence zones tend to be more decisive.
Fourth, I confirm with volume. Even though the indicator filters for volume, I still glance at the volume bars. I want to see that breakout candle have conviction.
Fifth, I manage expectations based on range type. If the ORB is tight, I expect an explosive move and give the trade room to develop. If the ORB is wide, I expect choppier action and tighten my parameters.
Sixth, I use the distance reading. If price is already 50 points beyond the ORB high and the range was only 40 points, I have missed the move. Chasing extended price is not smart trading.
Honest Pros and Cons
What this indicator does well:
It provides clean, accurate ORB levels that do not repaint. This is the foundation, and it is done correctly.
It offers multi-timeframe tracking with clear visual differentiation. You can see all three ORBs at once without confusion.
The quality scoring system helps you avoid low-probability setups. It is not perfect, but it adds valuable context.
The confluence detection highlights significant level alignment automatically. This saves you from manually checking multiple levels.
The smart label system prevents visual clutter. Labels combine when appropriate and remain readable.
The historical ORB display allows you to scroll back and review previous sessions. This is valuable for analysis and pattern recognition.
The customization is extensive. Every visual element can be adjusted to match your preferences.
It works across stocks, futures, forex, and crypto with appropriate session handling.
What this indicator does not do:
It does not give you buy and sell signals with entries and exits. This is a levels and analysis tool, not a trading system.
It does not include backtesting or performance tracking. You need a separate strategy tester for that.
It does not guarantee that breakouts will follow through. The filters help, but failed breakouts still occur.
The quality score is a guideline, not a prediction. Low-quality days can still produce good trades. High-quality days can still produce losing trades.
The confluence detection is proximity-based. It identifies when levels are near each other but does not know if those levels are actually significant to other traders.
Technical limitations to be aware of:
On chart timeframes larger than 15 minutes, the ORB calculation becomes less precise because you have fewer bars in the opening period. This indicator works best on 1 to 15 minute charts.
The overnight high and low tracking works best on futures. Stocks do not have true overnight sessions in the same way.
If your chart does not have volume data, the volume filter will not function properly.
Risk Management
This section is not about the indicator. It is about trading.
No indicator, no matter how well designed, can protect you from poor risk management. Before you trade any ORB breakout, you need to define your risk.
Where is your stop? A common approach is to place the stop on the opposite side of the ORB zone. If you are taking a bullish breakout above the high, your stop goes below the low. This means your risk is the full ORB range plus any slippage.
Is that risk acceptable? If the ORB range is 100 points and you are trading a 50 dollar per point contract, your risk is 5000 dollars plus commissions. Can you afford that loss? If not, either reduce your size or skip the trade.
Where is your target? The extensions provide potential targets, but you need to decide in advance where you will take profits. Hoping for an unlimited run while watching your profits evaporate is not a strategy.
What is your win rate? ORB breakouts do not work every time. Depending on the market and conditions, you might win 50 to 60 percent of the time. That means you will have losing trades. Are you prepared for a string of three or four losers in a row? It will happen.
None of this is specific to this indicator. It applies to all trading. But I include it here because I see too many traders focus on the indicator while ignoring the fundamentals of risk management. The indicator can help you identify setups. It cannot manage your risk for you.
Final Thoughts
I built this indicator for my own trading, then refined it to the point where I felt comfortable sharing it. It is not a holy grail. It will not make you profitable if you do not already have a trading process. What it will do is give you clean, accurate ORB levels with context that most indicators do not provide.
The Opening Range Breakout works because institutions and algorithms reference these same levels. When the first 30 or 60 minutes of trading establishes a range, that becomes a reference point for the rest of the session. This indicator makes those levels visible and adds intelligence around when they are worth paying attention to.
Use it as a tool, not a crutch. Combine it with your own analysis. Manage your risk properly. And please, do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
If you have questions or feedback, I am actively maintaining this indicator and will consider feature requests for future updates.
Trade well.

True Opens 🧪 [Pro +] | cephxsTRUE OPENS 🧪
This indicator reflects, and is based on Public Domain Information available online. Utilizing concepts by Daye and ICT.
Multi-timeframe True Open indicator displaying key price levels across Micro, 90-minute, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly cycles with automatic timeframe visibility gating.
OVERVIEW
True Opens identifies the opening price of the second quadrant (Q2) across multiple "quarterly" cycles. In quarterly cycle theory, Q2 represents the "True Open" - a significant reference point where price often returns to during the cycle. This indicator automatically plots these levels across five timeframes, helping you identify key premium/discount zones and potential reversal areas.
WHAT IS A TRUE OPEN?
Each market cycle divides into four quarters (Q1-Q4). The Q2 opening price - the "True Open" - acts as a gravitational level that price tends to respect throughout the cycle. Understanding where these levels sit across multiple timeframes gives you confluence zones for higher-probability trade setups depending on your strategy. It is mostly tailored to quarterly theory traders.
FEATURES
5 Cycle Levels: Micro (~22min), 90-minute, Daily (6H sessions), Weekly, and Monthly True Opens
Auto Display Mode: Automatically shows relevant True Opens based on your chart timeframe
Session Labels: Clear identification of Asia, London, NY, and PM session True Opens
Smart Weekly Detection: Uses trading day logic for accurate Weekly True Open on all assets
DST-Aware: Timezone handling automatically adjusts for daylight saving time
Visual Clarity: Dashed lines during active Q2, solid lines after confirmation
Historical Mode: Option to display past True Opens for backtesting reference
CYCLE BREAKDOWN
Micro: 64 sessions per day (~22.5 min each), 16 micro cycles - ideal for scalping
90-Minute: 4 major sessions (Asia, London, NY, PM) each with 4 quarters - intraday trading
Daily: 4 x 6-hour sessions per day - swing/intraday trade reference, slightly longer term
Weekly: Tuesday open = Weekly True Open (Q2 of the week) - swing trading
Monthly: Second week of month = Monthly True Open - macro bias

MAX TRADEA simple session level indicator for XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe. It takes the high and low of the 00:45 candle (Asia/Tashkent time), draws infinite horizontal lines from that candle, and keeps only the most recent 7 days. Useful for intraday support and resistance levels.
Seasonality ProThis indicator shows the seasonality of the selected asset!
Seasonality shows annually recurring price movements. If, for example, Bitcoin has risen in 80% of cases in October, this can be taken as additional confirmation for your trading idea.
Functions:
Averaged seasonality: This is the main indicator! The prices of the last xx years (selectable) are averaged and displayed as a chart. Here you can easily read the average price movement and draw conclusions about seasonality!
--> The steeper the curve, the better!
The percentage change in the selected time period is calculated for each year. For example, 14th July to 2nd August. These price changes are displayed as a bar chart. This allows you to check the significance of seasonality. If, for example, the majority of values are close to 0, then this is not as meaningful as if these values deviate significantly --> strong price movements.
These values are used to calculate the percentage probability of profit, which is displayed in the table. This is always calculated from the beginning to the end of the selected time period! For example, the price has risen by 20% and fallen by 80% in a 10-year period in the selected time period. This means that in 8 out of 10 cases, the market falls in the selected time period. This gives you a statistical advantage based on historical data.
The historical time windows for the period are also displayed in the main chart. These are calculated using the daily closing price.
It's also great for backtesting! The period is plotted each year, and you even get a percentage indicating how much the market has risen or fallen.
Additional functions
For markets with particularly strong trends, an extra function can be used to calculate the trend. The market then ends at 100% as it did at the beginning, and you can see the particularly strong patterns:
New calculation:
Original:
Settings:
The most important settings are the number of years and the time period. The time period can be set using numbers or, alternatively, using the calendar function.
Otherwise, most settings are purely cosmetic: colours and line thickness can be completely customised.
Important:
Please only use the indicator on a daily basis! In smaller timeframes, the information from the daily candles cannot be loaded completely. In higher timeframes, the logic no longer works. Therefore, please only use it on a daily basis!
Square of Nine Levels [RC] Advance📐 Square of Nine Levels — Precision Market Geometry for Dynamic Price Targets
The Square of Nine Levels indicator is a powerful price-projection and level-mapping tool based on W.D. Gann’s legendary Square of Nine mathematical system. This indicator transforms market prices into geometric rotations and harmonic levels—revealing price zones where markets historically accelerate, pause, or reverse with uncanny accuracy.
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, Square of Nine levels expand radially around a chosen base price, creating concentric price cycles that align with vibrational mathematics, planetary motion analogies, and cyclical market resonance. When price interacts with these rotational degrees, traders often witness structural reactions that are invisible to standard indicators.
🧭 What This Indicator Does
Once a trader inputs (or clicks) a Base Price, the indicator automatically:
✔️ Computes Square of Nine projections in upward and downward directions
✔️ Plots concentric price circles (levels of expansion)
✔️ Highlights rotational harmonics and midpoint attractors
✔️ Shows Golden Ratio (0.618 / 0.382) cyclic divisions
✔️ Provides clear visual level markers & labels for analysis
✔️ Adjusts dynamically as price trends evolve
These levels act as mathematical magnets, where price frequently:
Finds hidden support or resistance
Creates fair value rejection zones
Forms breakout thresholds
Completes wave and time cycles
Resonates with prior swing pivots

Auto Square-of-Nine Level Calculation Zero manual computation—instant geometry
Adjustable Circles & Points Model Gann expansions as per your theory
Golden Ratio & Midpoint Zones Adds confluence for precision entries
Multi-color Cycle Layers Instantly differentiate price cycles
Minimal UI Designed for professional clean charts
🧠 Why the Square of Nine Matters
Gann believed that price does not move randomly—it rotates through degrees, harmonics, and vibrational frequencies. The Square of Nine captures this rotation mathematically:
Price in time equals price in space.
This tool reveals those rotational levels, allowing traders to anticipate when price is likely to pivot or continue—with mathematically predictable targets.
🎯 Best Use-Cases
Identifying major support/resistance levels
Timing cycle inflection points
Confluence with Wave Theory, SMC, FVGs, and geometry
Swing, positional, and index-level forecasting
If you trade using Gann methods, cycles, harmonics, Square of 9, or astro-geometry, this indicator becomes a foundational timing and projection engine.
🚀 Take Your Charting to the Next Dimension
The Square of Nine Levels is not just a level plotter—it is a market resonance system. Once you understand how price vibrates around these circles, you gain a structural edge that most traders never discover.

Lines extend from one daily candle to the next (Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday to Wednesday, etc.)
Fully customizable styling for each line independently:
Color selection
Line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted)
Line width/thickness
Small labels ("H", "L", "50%") mark the start of each new day

Use Case:
Perfect for intraday traders who want to see the previous day's key levels as support/resistance zones. The 50% level often acts as a pivot point for price action.
MM Wash Detector (Fool-Proof)MM Wash Detector (Stealth) is a market-structure tool designed to identify wash candles created during liquidity hunts.
These candles typically show unusually long wicks with tiny bodies, signalling where market makers have swept stop-losses before reversing price.
The indicator marks:
Bear Wash → Long bottom wick (stop-hunt down, reversal up)
Bull Wash → Long top wick (stop-hunt up, reversal down)
This helps traders spot manipulation areas, liquidity grabs, and potential reversal zones with simple, discreet chart labels.
Macro Opportunity Drawdown Engine (MODE)Strategic Drawdown Classification for Macro-Cycle Accumulation. MODE identifies market drawdowns that historically align with discounted accumulation zones. Instead of treating pullbacks as risk events, it classifies them as structural opportunity phases based on distance from prior cycle highs.
The indicator continuously measures drawdown severity and labels current conditions as:
- Correction: –10% to –19%
- Bear Market: –20% to –29%
- Major Crash Opportunity: –30% or deeper
These levels are displayed directly on the chart, along with a live drawdown reading from the most recent peak.
MODE is built for long-term, macro-minded investors who view volatility as an advantage. It helps identify when the market has entered deep value phases often associated with stronger forward returns, liquidity resets, and cycle bottoms.
In short:
MODE turns market stress into clear signals of potential opportunity, providing a disciplined, data-driven framework for accumulation during corrections, bear markets, and crashes.
