**KEY DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER ORB INDICATORS:**
- You see **ALL 3 ORB PERIODS SIMULTANEOUSLY** (5min, 15min, 30min)
- Targets calculated from **30min ORB ONLY** (not 5min or 15min)
- **NO BOX FILLS** - clean line-only display for sniper precision
- Auto-disappears at session end (no clutter from old sessions)
---
## 🔘 NEW FEATURE: ORB DISPLAY TOGGLES
**You now have FULL CONTROL over which ORB periods to display!**
```
In indicator settings → "ORB Display" section:
☑ Show 5min ORB → Toggle blue lines ON/OFF
☑ Show 15min ORB → Toggle cyan lines ON/OFF
☑ Show 30min ORB → Toggle purple lines ON/OFF
USE CASES:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. FOCUS MODE (30min only)
☐ 5min ☐ 15min ☑ 30min
→ Clean chart, just your primary trading range
→ Best for beginners or minimalist traders
2. EARLY WARNING MODE (5min + 30min)
☑ 5min ☐ 15min ☑ 30min
→ See early breaks with 5min, trade 30min confirmation
→ Reduces visual noise from 15min
3. CONFLUENCE MODE (all 3 ORBs)
☑ 5min ☑ 15min ☑ 30min
→ Maximum information, all alignment signals
→ For advanced traders seeking highest probability
4. INTRADAY SCALP MODE (5min only)
☑ 5min ☐ 15min ☐ 30min
→ Ultra-fast entries on 5min breaks
→ High-risk, high-frequency approach
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 PRO TIP: Start with 30min only, then add 5min/15min as you gain experience

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR
```

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```

## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background

## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds
□ Daily journal template prepared
□ Emotional state: calm, patient, focused
□ Account size: Minimum $10,000 recommended
□ Understand auto-disappear behavior (ORBs delete at session end)
□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH

Levels
Elev8+ Impulse Levels | Smart Support & ResistanceElev8+ Impulse Levels
Why does price reject specific levels that look "empty" on the chart?
The answer usually lies in the past. These are Institutional Impulses—footprints left behind by massive market moves that algorithms and smart money defend days or even weeks later.
The Elev8+ Impulse Levels indicator is designed to automatically reveal this hidden Market Structure. It scans for the "Perfect Storm" of Volume + Aggression and projects these critical levels forward for you.
🧠 How It Works (The Logic)
This is not a standard Support & Resistance tool. It does not look for swing highs or lows. Instead, it detects Market Intent.
The indicator highlights specific candles where:
Volume Spikes: Buying or Selling pressure exceeds the average by a significant multiplier.
Volatility Expands: The candle body is unusually large relative to recent price action (ATR).
When these two factors combine, it signals that a major player has entered the market. The closing price of this impulse becomes a "Line in the Sand" for future price action.
🎯 How to Trade This Strategy
We built a "Smart Line" feature into this tool that changes the visual style of the level based on price behavior. This helps you trade two distinct setups:
1. The Defense (Bounce)
Visual: 🟢 Solid Lines
The Setup: A Solid Line represents a Fresh Level that has never been touched.
Why it works: Institutions often defend their entry price. When price returns to a fresh Solid Line, look for a rejection or a bounce.
2. The Flip (Break & Retest)
Visual: ◌ Dotted Lines
The Setup: When a candle closes past a level, the indicator automatically dims it to a Dotted Line.
Why it works: This signals a "Breaker Block." If a Support level (Green) is broken, it often flips to become Resistance. Watch for price to come back and "kiss" the Dotted Line from the other side before continuing the trend.
✨ Key Features
Smart Visualization: Lines automatically switch from Solid to Dotted when broken, keeping your chart analysis clean and logical.
Impulse Coloring: The indicator highlights the specific candle that created the level, so you can see the origin of the move.
Fully Customizable: Adjust the sensitivity of the Volume and Size detection to fit any asset class (Crypto, Forex, Futures, or Stocks).
🚀 The Elev8+ Workflow
Elev8+ Impulse Levels gives you the "Map"—it tells you where the market is likely to react.
To know exactly when to enter, we recommend pairing this tool with our premium Elev8+ Reversal Indicator, which specializes in timing the entry signal precisely when price hits these high-value levels.
Build your narrative. See the structure. Elev8 your trading.

ADAPTIVE ICT MULTI-ZONEAdaptive ICT Multi-Zone
Why Another ICT Script?
Most public ICT zone scripts flood your chart with dozens of noisy, overlapping boxes that never get cleaned up, use fixed lookbacks that work on one asset and fail on another, and mark every tiny gap as “FVG” — turning the chart into a rainbow mess that’s impossible to trade.
ADAPTIVE ICT MULTI-ZONE is built differently:
Only the strongest, most recent zones pass the adaptive filter (default 3 bullish OB + 3 bearish OB + 3 FVG). No more chart clutter.
Fair Value Gaps are filtered by ATR (default ≥ 0.7 × ATR) and optional high-volume confirmation so you only see gaps that actually matter.
Order Blocks are true swing-based (pivot high/low).
Every zone automatically extends far to the right until price closes through it — you never miss a mitigation.
Zero repainting. Zero lag. Zero memory leaks. Runs perfectly on every time frame.
In short: while many ICT scripts are noisy toys, this one is a surgical tool that shows exactly what institutional desks are up to.
How to Trade It Best (Simple & Effective)
Wait for price to return to a freshly drawn zone (watch the newest ones — they have the highest probability).
Look for confluence:
Price inside a Bullish Order Block + bullish engulfing or strong volume → aggressive long.
Price inside a Bearish Order Block + bearish engulfing or strong volume → aggressive short.
Price sweeping into an FVG and instantly rejecting → high-probability reversal (especially if the FVG had high volume when created).
Use higher-timeframe bias: if the daily/4H zone aligns with your 15-min or 5-min zone → stack size.
Take partials at the opposite-side order block or next FVG. Let runners go to next liquidity zone.
That’s it.
This script doesn’t try to do everything. It does one thing — show you the exact institutional zones that actually get respected — and it does it cleaner and smarter.
Add it, delete every other OB/FVG script you own, and catch more accurate reversals.
SnR Key Level Detector by RWBTradeLabSnR Key Level Detector by RWBTradeLab
A clean, non-repainting key level detector built for price action traders who want clear, fixed Support/Resistance reference levels with breakout upgrades and alerts.
What this indicator does
This script automatically detects and draws 6 types of SnR key levels using CLOSED candles only (no running-candle logic):
1. Base Key Levels (from 2-candle sequences)
* A Level: Green → Red (Level = 1st Green candle Close)
* V Level: Red → Green (Level = 1st Red candle Close)
* Bullish Gap Level: Green → Green (Level = 1st Green candle Close)
* Bearish Gap Level: Red → Red (Level = 1st Red candle Close)
2. Breakout Upgrade Levels
* RBS (Resistance → Support): When a Green candle CLOSE breaks above an A Level or Bearish Gap Level
* SBR (Support → Resistance): When a Red candle CLOSE breaks below a V Level or Bullish Gap Level
Visuals on chart
* Each detected level is drawn as a horizontal Ray extended to the right.
* Optional text labels are placed above/below the level based on the level type.
* Adjustable “Label Offset (ticks)” to keep labels cleaner on the chart.
Alerts (bar-close only)
Built-in alerts trigger only when a candle is CONFIRMED:
* A Level
* V Level
* Bullish Gap
* Bearish Gap
* SBR
* RBS
Each alert includes price and time in the message.
Key settings
* Candle Length (closed candles): Scans last N closed candles (running candle excluded).
* On/Off toggles: Enable/disable each level type and text labels individually.
* Label Offset (ticks): Controls the label distance from the level line.
Non-repainting confirmation
All levels and alerts are calculated on confirmed bars only.
No repainting, no running-bar signals.
Best use
Works on any market and timeframe. For higher reliability, combine with:
* Higher timeframe structure
* Supply & Demand zones
* Trend context and liquidity sweeps
Disclaimer:
This indicator is a level-detection tool, not financial advice. Trading involves risk; always use proper risk management and confirm levels with your own analysis.

IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro [FXSMARTLAB]🔥 IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro
IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro is a precision toolkit for intraday traders who rely on objective daily structure instead of repainting indicators and noisy signals.
Every level plotted by IDLP is derived from one simple rule:
Today’s trading decisions must be based on completed market data only.
That means:
✅ No use of the current day’s unfinished data for levels
✅ No lookahead
✅ No hidden repaint behavior
IDLP reconstructs the previous trading day from the intraday chart and then projects that structure forward onto the current session, giving you a stable, institutional-style intraday map.
🧱 1. Previous Daily Levels (Core Structure)
IDLP extracts and displays the full previous daily structure, which you can toggle on/off individually via the inputs:
Previous Daily High (PDH)
Previous Daily Low (PDL)
Previous Daily Open
Previous Daily Close,
Previous Daily Mid (50% of the range)
Previous Daily Q1 (25% of the range)
Previous Daily Q3 (75% of the range)
All of these come from the day that just closed and are then locked for the entire current session.
What these levels tell you:
PDH / PDL – true extremes of yesterday’s price action (liquidity zones, breakout/reversal points).
Previous Daily Open / Close – how the market positioned itself between session start and end
Mid (50%) – equilibrium level of the previous day’s auction.
Q1 / Q3 (25% / 75%) internal structure of the previous day’s range, dividing it into four equal zones and helping you see if price is trading in the lower, middle, or upper quarter of yesterday’s range.
All these levels are non-repaint: once the day is completed, they are fixed and never change when you scroll, replay, or backtest.
🎯 2. Previous Day Pivot System (P, S1, S2, R1, R2)
IDLP includes a classic floor-trader pivot grid, but critically:
It is calculated only from the previous day’s high, low, and close.
So for the current session, the following are fixed:
Pivot P – central reference level of the previous day.
Support 1 (S1) and Support 2 (S2)
Resistance 1 (R1) and Resistance 2 (R2)
These levels are widely used by institutional desks and algos to structure:
mean-reversion plays, breakout zones, intraday targets, and risk placement.
Everything in this section is non-repaint because it only uses the previous day’s fully closed OHLC.
📏 3. 1-Day ADR Bands Around Previous Daily Open
Instead of a multi-day ADR, IDLP uses a pure 1-Day ADR logic:
ADR = Range of the previous day
ADR = PDH − PDL
From that, IDLP builds two clean bands centered around the previous daily Open:
ADR Upper Band = Previous Day Open + (ADR × Multiplier)
ADR Lower Band = Previous Day Open − (ADR × Multiplier)
The multiplier is user-controlled in the inputs:
ADR Multiplier (default: 0.8)
This lets you choose how “tight” or “wide” you want the ADR envelope to be around the previous day’s open.
Typical use cases:
Identify realistic intraday extension targets, Spot exhaustion moves beyond ADR bands, Frame reversals after reaching volatility extremes, Align trades with or against volatility expansion
Again, since ADR is calculated only from the completed previous day, these bands are totally non-repaint during the current session.
🔒 4. True Non-Repaint Architecture
The internal logic of IDLP is built to guarantee non-repaint behavior:
It reconstructs each day using time("D") and tracks:
dayOpen, dayHigh, dayLow, dayClose for the current day
prevDayOpen, prevDayHigh, prevDayLow, prevDayClose for the previous day
At the moment a new day starts:
The “current day” gets “frozen” into prevDay*
These prevDay* values then drive: Previous Daily Levels, Pivots, ADR.
During the current day:
All these “previous day” values stay fixed, no matter what happens.
They do not move in real time, they do not shift in replay.
This means:
What you see in the past is exactly what you would have seen live.
No fake backtests.
No illusion of perfection from repainting behavior.
🎯 5. Designed For Intraday Traders
IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro is made for:
- Day traders and scalpers
- Index and FX traders
- Prop firm challenge trading
- Traders using ICT/SMC-style levels, liquidity, and range logic
- Anyone who wants a clean, institutional-style daily framework without noise
You get:
Previous Day OHLC
Mid / Q1 / Q3 of the previous range
Previous-Day Pivots (P, S1, S2, R1, R2)
1-Day ADR Bands around Previous Day Open
All calculated only from closed data, updated once per day, and then locked.
Ghost Pivots LiteGhost Pivots Lite
This indicator identifies potential swing points in real time using price-action thresholds and pivot analysis. It highlights momentum shifts that may precede breakouts or breakdowns while keeping the chart clean and overlay-friendly. The white text/circles/lines exhibited in the chart are to display what the Ghost Pivots look like when fully enabled in Settings/Style.
Key Features
Real-time detection of swing highs and lows based on customizable pivot length and swing thresholds.
Visual cues using dashed lines and labels for clear swing identification.
Minimal overlay elements to avoid clutter.
Works across all timeframes.
How It Works
The indicator calculates pivot highs and lows and applies a minimum swing-percentage threshold. When price movement meets or exceeds that threshold, the script plots a dashed line and label at the swing point. This offers a visual reference for momentum changes without issuing trading signals.
Why This Approach
Standard pivot indicators may lag or trigger excessively in volatile conditions. By combining pivots with a percentage-based swing filter, this version emphasizes meaningful momentum shifts and reduces noise.
How to Use (Step by Step)
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust outputs to your chart in Settings-Style
-Toggle on/off the ghosts
-Toggle on/off the lines from the ghost pivots
-Adjust precision-default is 1. Choices are 0-8.
Each stock or ETF has different behavior. This tool comes defaulted (1) to use with the SPY etf-adjust accordingly for others.
Notes
For informational and educational purposes only.
No financial, trading, or investment advice.
Alerts are observational only and do not include automated instructions.
Effective on any timeframe; consider reviewing historical examples with different settings/styles to understand behavior.
Protection Note
Source code is protected to safeguard proprietary swing-momentum logic combining pivot thresholds with price-percentage filters not available in standard open-source pivot indicators.
ATR ZigZag - Volatility-Filtered Market StructureDescription
This indicator draws ZigZags using an ATR based threshold for direction switching to identify major swing highs and lows. Instead of relying on fractals or fixed bar-count swings, pivots are confirmed only when price moves beyond the prior extreme by:
threshold = ATR(length) × ATR_mult
This filters noise, enforces valid swing structure (high → low → high), and adapts automatically to volatility. The ATR ZigZag is ideal for traders who want a clean, objective view of swing structure without noise. This has many uses, including mapping swing structure, drawing chart patterns, and trading around extremes.
Lag and Repainting
Pivots are confirmed only after price moves sufficiently in the opposite direction. This creates necessary lag. The ZigZag is drawn when this occurs, and will anchor to the high/low in the past. Optional detection dot plots show exactly when confirmation occurred.
What You See
ZigZag: dashed gray line, repainted to anchor at the confirmed highs and lows
Latest Pivot Levels: Dashed horizontal lines at the most recent confirmed high/low.
Optional Live Swing Leg: A real-time line from the last confirmed pivot to the current swing extreme, updating until a new pivot forms.
Optional ATR Boxes: 1×ATR shaded zones around the latest pivot for structural context.
Optional Pivot Confirmation Dots: Markers show the bar where the threshold is crossed and a swing is officially confirmed. This is to understand the lag and see when the ZigZag repainted.
KIMATIX VWAP/EMA System (by ASCE)**KIMATIX VWAP/EMA System (by ASCE)**
A precision-built intraday framework for momentum, structure, and liquidity timing.
**Why this indicator exists**
Most traders see movement, but not context. They enter too late, chase momentum, or fade reversals without understanding where institutional players react.
This tool solves that problem by combining two of the most powerful structural concepts in intraday price discovery:
Trend alignment through EMAs
Liquidity reaction zones through VWAPs
Together, they provide directional clarity, timing, and trade location.
**Core Components**
**Three Trend EMAs**
• **EMA 7** – Microtrend and momentum speed
• **EMA 23** – Intraday trend leadership
• **EMA 50** – Higher-timeframe structure anchor
This trio shows how price accelerates, slows, flips bias, or compresses.
**Three Volume-Weighted Average Prices**
• **Daily VWAP** – Primary scalper reference point
• **Weekly VWAP** – Bias filter and intermediate balance zone
• **Monthly VWAP** – High-impact “magnet” where major reactions occur
VWAP represents the fair value where volume is distributed.
When price taps, rejects, or reclaims these levels, liquidity flow shifts — ideal for scalp-to-swing entries.
**What it helps you see**
• When price is aligned with or diverging from trend
• Where momentum will expand or fail
• Which levels larger participants defend
• Where the highest-probability reaction zones form
This is not a signal tool — it is a structure and decision-making framework used by professional intraday traders.
**How to use it**
1. **Trade with VWAP alignment** – expect reactions at daily/weekly/monthly VWAPs
2. **Follow EMA flow** – when EMAs compress or flip, momentum changes
3. **Look for price interaction** – rejection, reclaim, or breakthrough of a VWAP often leads to fast moves
Ideal for scalping, day-trading, futures, FX, indices, crypto, and metals.
**Customization**
Colors for each EMA and each VWAP can be personalized, allowing alignment with your charting workflow.
**Final Notes**
This system gives you the *context* most traders miss — where trend meets liquidity.
Use it as a roadmap to understand where price *should* react and when momentum is likely to shift.
HTF Frequency Zone [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
HTF Frequency Zone highlights the dominant price level (Point of Control) and the full high–low expansion of any higher timeframe — Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. It captures the frequency of closes inside each HTF candle and plots the most traded “frequency zone”, allowing traders to easily see where price spent the most time and where buy/sell pressure accumulated.
This tool transforms each higher-timeframe bar into a fully visualized structure:
• Top = HTF high
• Bottom = HTF low
• Midline = HTF Frequency POC
• Color-coded zones = bullish or bearish bias
• Labels = counts of bullish and bearish candles inside the HTF range
It is designed to give traders an immediate understanding of high-timeframe balance, imbalance, and price attraction zones.
🔵 CONCEPTS
HTF Partitioning — Each Weekly/Daily/Monthly candle is converted into a dedicated zone with its own High, Low, and Frequency Point of Control.
Frequency POC (Most Touched Price) — The indicator divides the HTF range into 100 bins and counts how many times price closed near each level.
Dominant Zone — The level with the highest frequency becomes the HTF “Value Zone,” plotted as a bold central line.
Directional Bias —
• Bullish HTF zone
• Bearish HTF zone
Internal Candle Counting — Within each HTF period the indicator counts:
• Buy candles (close > open)
• Sell candles (close < open)
This reveals whether intraperiod flow was bullish or bearish.
HTF Structure Blocks — High, Low, and POC are connected across the entire higher-timeframe duration, showing the real shape of HTF balance.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic HTF Zone Construction — Generates a complete price zone every time the selected timeframe flips (Daily / Weekly / Monthly).
Dynamic High & Low Extraction — The indicator scans every bar inside the HTF window to find true extremes of the range.
100-Level Frequency Scan — Each close within the period is assigned to a bin, creating a detailed distribution of price interaction.
HTF POC Highlighting — The most frequent price level is plotted with a bold red line for immediate visual clarity.
Bull/Bear Coloring —
• Green → Bullish HTF zone.
• Orange → Bearish HTF zone.
Zone Shading — High–Low range is filled with a semi-transparent color matching trend direction.
Buy/Sell Candle Counters — Printed at the top and bottom of each HTF block, showing how many internal candles were bullish or bearish.
POC Label — Displays frequency count (how many touches) at the POC level.
Adaptive Threshold Warning — If bars inside the HTF window are too few (<10), the indicator warns the trader to switch timeframe.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Higher-Timeframe Biasing — Read the zone color to determine if the HTF candle leaned bullish or bearish.
Value Zone Reactions — Price often reacts to the Frequency POC; use it as support/resistance or liquidity magnet.
Range Context — Identify when price is trading near HTF highs (breakout potential) or lows (reversal potential).
Momentum Evaluation — More bullish internal candles = internal buying pressure; more bearish = internal selling pressure.
Swing Trading — Use HTF zones as the “macro map,” then execute trades on lower timeframes aligned with the zone structure.
Liquidity Awareness — The HTF POC often aligns with algorithmic liquidity levels, making it a strong reaction point.
🔵 CONCLUSION
HTF Frequency Zone transforms raw higher-timeframe candles into detailed distribution zones that reveal true market behavior inside the HTF structure. By showing highs, lows, buying/selling activity, and the most interacted price level (Frequency POC), this tool becomes invaluable for traders who want to align executions with powerful HTF levels, liquidity magnets, and structural zones.
Session, Weekly, Daily LevelsScroll down for hungarian description!
Magyar leíráshoz görgess lejjebb!
Overview
This script provides a unified market structure mapping tool that automatically identifies and visualizes key intraday, daily, and weekly reference levels. It helps traders contextualize price action throughout the trading week by marking true session opens, previous day highs/lows, weekly highs/lows, and weekday opens, all with accurate historical anchoring and correct timezone handling.
What This Script Does
1. Intraday Session Opens (Tokyo, London, New York)
- Detects the exact candle where each session opens.
- Draws horizontal rays with labels.
- Automatically clears lines at the start of each new day.
- Uses a custom local-to-exchange timezone conversion system.
2. Weekly Levels
- Last week high and low (precise bar anchoring, not HTF aggregation)
- Current week open (also Monday open)
- Auto-reset on new week
- Levels are always drawn from the true candle where they formed.
3. Previous Day High & Low
- Continuously tracks intraday highs and lows.
- On a new day, stores yesterday’s values and anchors rays to the exact bars.
- Levels remain visible for the full current day and reset the next day.
4. Weekday Opens (Tue–Fri)
- Captures the exact opening price of Tuesday–Friday.
- Monday open = Week open, so it is not shown separately.
- Auto-reset on new week.
Timezone Logic (Original Feature)
The script converts:
local session times → exchange timezone → chart timestamps
It works correctly regardless of chart timezone or instrument exchange location.
Line Drawing Logic
- Finds the exact bar_index where each level forms.
- Draws rays extending to the right.
- Labels are placed ahead of price.
- Safe updating prevents “bar index too far” errors.
How to Use
- Identify daily/weekly structure.
- Track bias relative to session opens.
- Observe reactions around weekday opens.
- Compare price action to last week's range.
Originality
- Custom timezone conversion engine.
- True historical bar anchoring.
- Fully automated weekly/daily structural resets.
- Independent styling for each level type.
- Not a mashup; all components follow one unified logic.
Limitations
- Does not predict trend or direction.
- Structural tool only.
Summary
A precise and reliable market structure tool that unifies weekly, daily, and intraday reference levels with full timezone automation and true-candle anchoring.

Áttekintés
Ez az indikátor egy összetett piaci szerkezet-feltérképező eszköz, amely automatikusan megjeleníti a legfontosabb intraday, napi és heti referenciaértékeket. A célja, hogy a kereskedő tisztán lássa a piac aktuális környezetét: hol nyíltak a főbb devizapiaci szekciók, hogyan alakult a tegnapi tartomány, hol volt a múlt heti csúcs/mélypont, és hogyan nyitottak az egyes hétköznapok.
Mit tud a script?
1. Szekciónyitások (Tokyo, London, New York)
- Megkeresi a pontos gyertyát, amely a szekciónyitáskori árat tartalmazza.
- Vízszintes vonalat és címkét rajzol.
- Minden nap elején automatikusan törli a korábbi nap szintjeit.
- Egyedi időzóna-konverziós rendszerrel működik (helyi idő → tőzsdei idő → chart idő).
2. Heti szintek
- Múlt heti maximum és minimum (pontos gyertyapontra horgonyozva)
- Aktuális heti nyitóár (egyben a hétfői nyitó is)
- Új hét kezdetekor automatikusan frissül.
- A múlt heti high/low nem fix időpontra, hanem a valódi gyertyára kerül.
3. Előző napi High és Low
- Folyamatosan követi a napi maximumot és minimumot.
- Napváltáskor elmenti és pontos gyertyáról indítja a ray-t.
- A szintek a teljes nap folyamán megmaradnak, majd a következő nap törlődnek.
4. Hétköznapok nyitóárai (Kedd–Péntek)
- A kedd, szerda, csütörtök és péntek nyitóárát rögzíti és megjeleníti.
- A hétfői nyitó a Week Open, ezért külön nem jelenik meg.
- Heti váltáskor automatikusan törlődnek.
Időzóna-kezelés (egyedi megoldás)
A script a felhasználó helyi idejét átszámítja az instrumentum tőzsdei időzónájára, majd a chartra vetíti.
Ez biztosítja, hogy minden szekciónyitás helyesen jelenik meg, bármely chart vagy instrumentum esetén.
Vonalrajzolási logika
- A szintek a valódi bar_index alapján kerülnek rögzítésre.
- Jobbra nyúló ray-eket rajzol.
- A címkék mindig a jobb oldalon, előre helyezve jelennek meg.

Hash Pivot DetectorHash Pivot Detector
Professional Support & Resistance Detection with Multi-Timeframe Zone Analysis
Developed by Hash Capital Research, the Hash Pivot Detector is a sophisticated indicator designed for identifying key support and resistance levels using pivot-based detection with institutional-grade zone analysis.
Key Features
Zone-Based Detection
Unlike traditional single-line S/R indicators, Hash Pivot Detector uses configurable zones around pivot levels to represent realistic institutional order areas. Adjustable zone width accommodates different asset volatilities.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Displays higher timeframe support/resistance levels alongside current timeframe pivots, providing crucial context for institutional positioning and stronger price barriers.
Clean Visual Design
Features Hash Capital's signature fluorescent color scheme (pink resistance, cyan support) optimized for dark charts with high contrast and instant visual recognition. Semi-transparent zones keep your chart clean and readable.
How It Works
The indicator uses pivot high/low detection with configurable left and right bar parameters. When a pivot is confirmed, it plots:
Primary support/resistance lines at pivot levels
Semi-transparent zones representing realistic order areas
Higher timeframe S/R levels as crosses for additional context
Recommended Settings
For Swing Trading:

Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key LevelsDescription
This indicator combines several commonly used technical analysis tools into a single script, especially useful for traders using the free version of TradingView or anyone looking to reduce the number of indicators on their chart.
The goal is to provide clear visual references for trend, structure, and key levels—without generating buy/sell signals or automated trading functions.
Included Features
1. VWAP (session-anchored)
Source: HLC3
Purple line, thickness 2
Useful as a reference for daily institutional average price.
2. EMAs of the current timeframe
EMA 200 (red, thickness 3)
EMA 9 (green, thickness 1)
These EMAs help visualize long-term trend and short-term momentum.
3. Dynamic EMAs (MTF – Multi-Timeframe)
The indicator displays the 200 EMA from higher timeframes as dynamic horizontal levels:
5 minutes
15 minutes
30 minutes
1 hour
4 hours
1 day
Each level includes a descriptive label such as “15 min EMA 200”.
These EMAs serve as reference points for potential support/resistance areas coming from higher timeframes.
4. Automatic Key Levels
The indicator plots several important price levels:
Previous day:
PDH (Previous Day High)
PDL (Previous Day Low)
Previous Day 50% Fibonacci level
Pre-market (04:00–09:30 exchange time):
PMH (Pre-Market High)
PML (Pre-Market Low)
Current session:
Open (session opening price)
Previous Close (prior day’s closing price)

Quantum Trend MatrixThe Quantum Trend Matrix (QTM) is a comprehensive technical analysis suite designed to solve the problem of market noise by combining Statistical Volatility Structure with Momentum Trend Filtration.
Many traders struggle because they trade momentum signals (like crossovers) without considering the daily structural limits of the market. This script integrates these two concepts into a single "Roadmap" to help traders align their entries with institutional price structure.
🎯 Concept & Methodology (How it Works)
This script is not merely a collection of indicators; it is a logic-based system where components effectively filter one another:
1. Structural Volatility Levels (The "Map")
Unlike standard Support/Resistance which is subjective, QTM calculates objective levels based on the internal logic.
Methodology: The script applies specific percentage-based volatility coefficients (tailored to the asset class, e.g., Indices ,Commodities,etc) to the Price.
* The Green Line (Breakout Level) : Represents the statistical upper volatility limit above which a "Bullish Expansion" is expected to occur.
* The Red Line (Breakdown Level): Represents the statistical lower volatility limit Below which a "Bearish Expansion" is expected to occur.
* Why this is useful: It prevents traders from chasing trends in the "chop zone" (between the lines) and highlights high-probability breakout areas.
2. The Value Zone (Trend Validation)
* Methodology: This utilizes a High-Timeframe moving average ribbon logic (calculated using Daily data).
* Function: It acts as a dynamic trend filter. A breakout signal (Green Line cross) is statistically significant if the Price is also supported by the Value Zone (Blue Ribbon). If the Ribbon is Orange, a bullish breakout is likely a "False Trap".
3. Momentum & Exhaustion Logic
* Crossovers (Circles): Validates short-term trend shifts using smoothed exponential average crossovers.
* Mean Reversion (Diamonds): Uses an integrated Oscillator Momentum logic to detect over-extended price action. A Diamond signal warns that the price has deviated too far from the mean (VWAP) and trend continuation is risky.
🛠️ Practical Application
This script is designed for a top-down decision process:
1. Wait for Structure: For Trending Moves do not trade inside the Pivot (Blue) to Breakout (Green/Red) range. This is the "Noise" zone.
2. Confirm the Breakout: Wait for a candle to CLOSE outside the Green or Red volatility levels or to take Support/Resistance from Red/Green Levels respectively.
3. Check the "Value Zone": Ensure the background ribbon color matches the breakout direction (Blue for Long, Orange for Short).
4. Monitor Health: Use the bottom-right panel (displaying RSI, ADX, and DI metrics) to ensure trend strength is sufficient to sustain the move.
⚠️ Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure
* Logic Disclosure: While the specific volatility coefficients and smoothing lengths are proprietary, this script relies on standard technical analysis concepts including Moving Averages, RSI, ADX, and Percentage-based levels relative to the Price.
* No Guarantee: Technical analysis is probabilistic, not predictive. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
* Risk Management: Always use Stop Losses. This tool is an aid for analysis, not a replacement for risk management.

Indicator setupDescription of the "Setup Indicator"
Setup Indicator is a multifunctional trading tool that combines the power of a modified ATR indicator for trend determination and a classic ZigZag for identifying key market structures. It is designed to automatically detect reversal patterns "LL to HH" (bullish) and "HH to LL" (bearish), project target levels based on Fibonacci retracements, and visualize trading zones.
🎯 Philosophy and Utility
The indicator is built on the concept that significant price movements begin with the breakout of the previous structure (a higher low in an uptrend or a lower high in a downtrend). It helps the trader to:
- Objectively identify reversal points: Automatically detects "Lower Low -> Higher High" (LL->HH) formations for long positions and "Higher High -> Lower Low" (HH->LL) for short positions.
- Determine entry zones: Visualizes a "box" between key Fibonacci levels (38.2% and 60.6%), which serves as a potential area for trade entry.
- Project targets: Calculates and displays three target levels (0.84, 1.306, 1.618 for long and 0.16, -0.306, -0.618 for short) based on the magnitude of the initial impulse.
- Manage risk: Clearly marks the "structure break" level, upon reaching which the initial trading idea is invalidated.
⚙️ Operating Principle and Logic
1. ATR Trend (Base):
- Builds dynamic support and resistance levels based on the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a specified coefficient.
- Trend direction is determined by the position of the closing price relative to these levels. This is the main filter for the entire indicator.
2. ZigZag (Structure):
- Leaves only significant extremes (peaks and troughs) on the chart, filtering out market noise. The ZigZag length determines sensitivity.
3. Signal Filtering (The Heart of the System):
- A signal is considered valid only if it is confirmed by the ATR trend.
- For Long (LL to HH): The lower low (LL) must be formed in a downtrend according to the ATR, and the subsequent higher high (HH) — in an uptrend.
- For Short (HH to LL): The higher high (HH) must be formed in an uptrend according to the ATR, and the subsequent lower low (LL) — in a downtrend.
- This dual verification significantly improves signal quality.
🛠️ Indicator Settings
1. "ATR Trend Settings" Group
- ATR Period: Period for calculating the ATR. Smaller values make the trend more sensitive.
- Source: Price source used for calculation (default is hl2 - the average of High and Low).
- ATR Multiplier: Coefficient for expanding/narrowing the ATR bands. The higher the value, the less frequently the trend changes.
- Change ATR Calculation Method: Switches the ATR calculation between the standard method (ta.atr) and the SMA method (ta.sma(ta.tr)).
- Show ATR Support/Resistance Lines: Shows/hides the ATR trend lines on the chart.
2. "ZigZag Settings" Group
- ZigZag Length: Defines the minimum distance between extremes. Increase the value to find larger and more significant structures.
- Show ZigZag: Shows the ZigZag line.
- Show Only Current Structure (in the "Display Settings" group): A key setting. When enabled, the indicator removes all previous structures and displays only the most recent one, preventing chart clutter.
3. Visualization Settings
- Show Boxes: Shows the trading zone (between 38.2% and 60.6%).
- Box Length: The width of the box and all accompanying lines in bars.
- Show Targets: Shows the target lines and labels.
- Show Structure Break: Shows the structure break level line and label.
- Show HH/LL Labels: Shows "HH" and "LL" labels on the corresponding extremes.
- Show Connection Lines: Draws a line connecting the HH and LL extremes.
📊 Signal Interpretation
Bullish Signal (Long Setup)
1. Formation: A structure appears: LL (Lower Low), followed by HH (Higher High).
2. Visualization:
- Green Zone (Box): The area between 38.2% and 60.6% of the move from LL to HH. Considered as an area for entering long positions.
- Structure Break Level: The price level of the LL. A stop-loss is typically placed below this level.
- Targets: Three lines calculated based on Fibonacci extensions (0.84, 1.306, 1.618). Serve as potential take-profit levels.
Bearish Signal (Short Setup)
1. Formation: A structure appears: HH (Higher High), followed by LL (Lower Low).
2. Visualization:
- Red Zone (Box): The area between 38.2% and 60.6% of the move from HH to LL. Considered as an area for entering short positions.
- Structure Break Level: The price level of the HH. A stop-loss is typically placed above this level.
- Targets: Three lines calculated based on Fibonacci extensions (0.16, -0.306, -0.618).
⚡ Alerts
The indicator has built-in conditions for creating alerts in TradingView:
"LONG Signal" - Triggers when a bullish LL->HH structure appears.
"SHORT Signal" - Triggers when a bearish HH->LL structure appears.
💎 Conclusion and Usage Tips
Setup Indicator is not just an indicator, but a complete system for finding and trading structural reversals.
- For conservative traders: Use larger values for ZigZag Length and ATR Multiplier to find only the most significant and confirmed market moves.
- For active traders: Adjust the parameters for lower timeframes to find more trade setups.
- Always use the "Structure Break" level for risk management. This is an integral part of the system.
- Combine signals with the overall market context and support/resistance levels to increase the probability of success.

Open Close Trend ChangeOpen Close Trend Change
This indicator identifies potential trend reversal points based on the Close-Open Gap methodology. It detects specific two-candle patterns followed by a confirmation candle that breaks a key gap level, signaling a potential trend change. The indicator also provides visual confirmation signals when follow-through occurs.
What is a Trend Change?
A Trend Change occurs when:
Two consecutive candles of the same color form a specific pattern
No additional pattern repetition occurs afterward
A candle in the opposite direction closes beyond the gap level
Optional: The next candle confirms the move with a wick touching the level
This creates a Close-Open Gap between the two setup candles that acts as a critical decision level.
Pattern Rules
Long Trend Change (Bullish Reversal)
Setup Requirements:
Two consecutive down-close candles (close < open)
Second candle must make a lower low AND lower high than the first candle
No additional qualifying two-candle sequence follows immediately
Gap Level: Close price of the first candle
Confirmation: An up-close candle (close > open) closes above the gap level
Follow-Through Confirmation (Green Triangle):
The candle immediately after the gap break closes above the gap level
The wick (low) of this candle touches or goes below the gap level (testing support)
Short Trend Change (Bearish Reversal)
Setup Requirements:
Two consecutive up-close candles (close > open)
Second candle must make a higher high AND higher low than the first candle
No additional qualifying two-candle sequence follows immediately
Gap Level: Close price of the first candle
Confirmation: A down-close candle (close < open) closes below the gap level
Follow-Through Confirmation (Red Triangle):
The candle immediately after the gap break closes below the gap level
The wick (high) of this candle touches or goes above the gap level (testing resistance)
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Calculate trend changes on any timeframe while viewing on your preferred chart timeframe
Customizable Lookback: Adjust how far back the indicator searches for patterns
Visual Clarity: Distinct colors for bullish (green) and bearish (red) trend changes
Confirmation Triangles: Visual indicators when follow-through occurs with proper level retest
Selective Display: Toggle long or short signals on/off independently
Extended Lines: Optional line extension to track levels into the future
Smart Pattern Recognition: Automatically filters out superseded patterns when multiple setups occur in sequence
Parameters
SETTINGS
Bars Lookback (default: 50): Number of bars to analyze for trend change patterns
Timeframe (default: Daily): Timeframe used for pattern detection
VISUAL SETTINGS
Show Long Trend Changes: Display bullish reversal signals
Show Short Trend Changes: Display bearish reversal signals
Long TC Color: Color for long trend change lines (default: green)
Short TC Color: Color for short trend change lines (default: red)
Line Width: Thickness of trend change lines
Extend Lines Right: Extend lines to the right edge of the chart
Show Confirmation Triangles: Display triangles when follow-through confirmation occurs
Understanding Confirmation Triangles
The confirmation triangles are a powerful feature that identifies high-probability setups:
Why They Matter:
When the candle after a gap break closes in the same direction AND retests the level with its wick, it demonstrates:
Commitment: Market participants are willing to continue in the new direction
Support/Resistance: The gap level is now acting as support (long) or resistance (short)
Validation: The level has been successfully flipped
Visual Indicators:
Green Triangle (pointing up): Appears below bullish follow-through candles
Red Triangle (pointing down): Appears above bearish follow-through candles
Triangles only appear when both close and wick conditions are met
Trading Application
The Close-Open Gap acts as a decision level where price previously showed commitment to a direction. When this gap is broken by a candle closing on the opposite side, it suggests:
Previous directional momentum has weakened
Market participants are willing to push through the gap
A potential shift in short-term trend direction
When confirmed with a triangle: Higher probability of continuation
Example Use Cases
Long Trend Change:
Wait for two down-close candles forming lower lows (red line appears)
Enter long when up-close candle breaks above the gap
Stronger signal: Green triangle appears when next candle retests and closes above
Use gap level as initial stop-loss reference
Consider tighter stops when confirmation triangle is present
Short Trend Change:
Wait for two up-close candles forming higher highs (red line appears)
Enter short when down-close candle breaks below the gap
Stronger signal: Red triangle appears when next candle retests and closes below
Use gap level as initial stop-loss reference
Consider tighter stops when confirmation triangle is present
Pattern Recognition Logic
Rolling Window Approach:
When three or more consecutive same-colored candles occur, the indicator uses only the last two qualifying candles as the setup. This ensures:
Only the most recent pattern is considered
Earlier setups in a continuous sequence are automatically superseded
Reduced chart clutter from redundant signals
Example: If you see 4 consecutive down-close candles where each makes lower lows and lower highs, only the gap between the last two will be marked.
Important Notes
Lines without triangles indicate basic trend change setups
Lines with triangles indicate confirmed setups with follow-through
Confirmation triangles appear only when specific wick and close conditions are met
Not all gap breaks will generate confirmation triangles
Trend changes indicate potential reversals but are not guaranteed
Always combine with other technical analysis tools and proper risk management
Consider overall market context and trend direction
Works best when aligned with higher timeframe trend structure
How It Works
The indicator continuously monitors the selected timeframe for valid two-candle patterns. The process:
Scans for two consecutive same-colored candles meeting specific criteria
Filters out patterns that are immediately followed by another qualifying setup
Draws a horizontal line at the gap level (close of first candle)
Monitors for a candle closing beyond the gap in the opposite direction
Checks the following candle for confirmation (close + wick retest)
Displays a triangle when full confirmation occurs
Best Practices
Use confirmation triangles as higher-confidence entry signals
Combine with volume analysis for additional confirmation
Consider multiple timeframes: gaps on higher timeframes often more significant
Watch for confluence with other support/resistance levels
Gaps that align with round numbers or key levels tend to be more reliable
Monitor how price behaves after the confirmation triangle appears
Disclaimer
This indicator is a pattern recognition tool for educational purposes. It does not predict future price movements and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy with proper risk management. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Confirmation signals improve probability but do not eliminate risk.
MTFX Daily RangeThe MTFX Daily Range plots the Previous Day’s High, Low, Close, and Midpoint directly onto your intraday chart, along with a full suite of fractal extensions above and below the range. All levels print live with price, giving you a real-time road map without lag or repainting.
🔹 Key Features
Core levels: PDH, PDL, PDC, Midpoint, Current Open.
Fractal extensions: ±0.25, ±0.75, ±1.00, ±1.25, ±1.50, ±2.00 — capturing sweeps, expansions, and exhaustion zones.
Customisable styles: Colours, line widths, and visibility can be adjusted.
Toggle control: Levels can be switched on/off to keep charts clean.
Alerts: Wick breaks and candle closes at PD levels for instant structural awareness.
🔹 Why Fractals Matter
Most PD scripts stop at the high and low. This one goes further:
Why Most Traders Struggle With Previous Day Levels
You've seen it happen: price approaches yesterday's high, you take a breakout trade, and it immediately reverses. Or you set support at previous day's low, only to watch price slice through it like butter.
The problem? Most traders only look at PDH and PDL. They're missing the fractal structure that reveals where price actually respects levels.
The Fractal Advantage:
Markets aren't random - they're fractal. The same patterns repeat across different scales. The MTFX Daily Range indicator maps these fractal relationships using the previous day's range as the base measurement.
Contextual precision: Know instantly if price is contained, probing liquidity, or breaking out.
Exit planning: Fractals act as natural TP zones.
🔹 Benefits of Combining Daily Range with MTFX Asia Session Indicator:
Layered conviction: Asia defines the session narrative, PD Range anchors the higher‑timeframe structure.
Sweep logic: Asia sweeps at PDH/PDL are far more meaningful.
Complete narrative: Asia gives timing, PD gives structure — together they keep you out of noise.

Mancini Levels (with alerts, majors only option)This indicator displays Support and Resistance levels on ES or MES (E-mini and Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures) charts by parsing text copied and pasted by the user.
(The levels displayed on the chart above are not valid, they are for illustration only)
Features
Option to display only the major levels
The chart on the left displays both major and minor levels, distinguished by color and line style. The chart on the right shows only the major levels; minor levels are disabled:
Alert function for when the price approaches a major level or zone (within a customizable distance).
The script provides a trigger for alerts. When creating an alert, you can then choose your desired frequency (Only once/Once per bar/Once per bar close/Once per minute) from the TradingView alert pop-up.
The alert message contains the current price and the approached major level price.
Customizable Lookback Period
Set how many days into the past the lines should appear (Subject to a maximum of 5000 bars).
To display lines for the current day only, set this value to 1.
Functions only on ES or MES (E-mini and Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures) charts, as the text format is intended for these instruments.
How to Use
Copy and paste the support and resistance levels into the indicator's "Supports" and "Resistances" input fields.
Format Example:
For the "Supports" input: 6772-6770 (major), 6764 (major), 6757, 6751-54
For the "Resistances" input: 6799 (major), 6814, 6828-30, 6839-40 (major)
The indicator supports the display of zone levels in multiple formats
(e.g., 6235-45 and 6235-6245 and 6245-6235 are all valid).
For hundred- or thousand-point rollovers, please use only the full number format: 5995-6005.
The indicator includes an error-checking system to help you troubleshoot common setup issues.
An on-chart error label will be displayed on the chart if:
The chart instrument is not ES or MES.
The "Supports" and "Resistances" fields are both empty.
A data formatting error is detected (e.g., non-numeric characters, incomplete zones, etc.).
How It Works
For optimal resource efficiency and performance, the script executes all computationally intensive tasks only once, on the very first bar when the chart loads (if barstate.isfirst).
One-time Parsing: The parsing, splitting, and conversion of the text (string) formatted levels, which are provided in the settings, occurs only once.
Persistent Objects: The lines (line.new), fills (linefill.new), and price labels (label.new) that mark the levels are all persistent graphical objects. The script creates these on the first bar and stores their references in arrays declared with the var keyword.
No Redrawing: On subsequent bars, the indicator does not delete and redraw these objects. It merely updates the x-axis position of the existing lines and labels (line.set_x1, line.set_x2, label.set_x) on the last bar (if barstate.islast), ensuring they always remain on the right edge of the chart, following the formation of new bars.
By default, TradingView charts have a limit of 50 lines and 50 labels. Given that the number of levels often exceeds this, the script's drawing logic is as follows:
The number of displayable lines and labels has been increased (to 500) in the indicator's declaration line.
The script applies a prioritized order when drawing levels and labels. Major levels have priority over minor levels during drawing.

Time-Decay Liquidity Zones [BackQuant]Time-Decay Liquidity Zones
A dynamic liquidity map that turns single-bar exhaustion events into fading, color-graded zones, so you can see where trapped traders and unfinished business still matter, and when those areas have finally stopped pulling price.
What this is
This indicator detects unusually strong impulsive moves into wicks, converts them into supply or demand “zones,” then lets those zones decay over time. Each zone carries a strength score that fades bar by bar. Zones that stop attracting or rejecting price are gradually de-emphasized and eventually removed, while the most relevant areas stay bright and obvious.
Instead of static rectangles that live forever, you get a living liquidity map where:
Zones are born from objective criteria: volatility, wick size, and optional volume spikes.
Zones “age” using a configurable decay factor and maximum lifetime.
Zone color and opacity reflect current relative strength on a unified clear → green → red gradient.
Zones freeze when broken, so you can distinguish “active reaction areas” from “historical levels that have already given way”.
Conceptual idea
Large wicks with strong volatility often mark areas where aggressive orders met hidden liquidity and got absorbed. Price may revisit these areas to test leftover interest or to relieve trapped positions. However, not every wick matters for long. As time passes and more bars print, the market “forgets” some areas.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones turns that idea into a rule-based system:
Find bars that likely reflect strong aggressive flows into liquidity.
Mark a zone around the wick using ATR-based thickness.
Assign a strength score of 1.0 at birth.
Each bar, reduce that score by a decay factor and remove zones that fall below a threshold or live too long.
Color all surviving zones from weak to strong using a single gradient scale and a visual legend.
How events are detected
Detection lives in the Event Detection group. The script combines range, wick size, and optional volume filters into simple rules.
Volatility filter
ATR Length — computes a rolling ATR over your chosen window. This is the volatility baseline.
Min range in ATRs — bar range (High–Low) must exceed this multiple of ATR for an event to be considered. This avoids tiny bars triggering zones.
Wick filters
For each bar, the script splits the candle into body and wicks:
Upper wick = High minus the max(Open, Close).
Lower wick = min(Open, Close) minus Low.
Then it tests:
Upper wick condition — upper wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Lower wick condition — lower wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Only bars with a sufficiently long wick relative to volatility qualify as candidate “liquidity events”.
Volume filter
Optionally, the script requires a volume spike:
Use volume filter — if enabled, volume must exceed a rolling volume SMA by a configurable multiplier.
Volume SMA length — period for the volume average.
Volume spike multiplier — how many times above the SMA current volume needs to be.
This lets you focus only on “heavy” tests of liquidity and ignore quiet bars.
Event types
Putting it together:
Upper event (potential supply / long liquidation, etc.)
Occurs when:
Upper wick is large in ATR terms.
Full bar range is large in ATR terms.
Volume is above the spike threshold (if enabled).
Lower event (potential demand / short liquidation, etc.)
Symmetric conditions using the lower wick.
How zones are constructed
Zone geometry lives in Zone Geometry .
When an event is detected, the script builds a rectangular box that anchors to the wick and extends in the appropriate direction by an ATR-based thickness.
For upper (supply-type) zones
Bottom of the zone = event bar high.
Top of the zone = event bar high + Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
The zone initially spans only the event bar on the x-axis, but is extended to the right as new bars appear while the zone is active.
For lower (demand-type) zones
Top of the zone = event bar low.
Bottom of the zone = event bar low − Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
Same extension logic: box starts on the event bar and grows rightward while alive.
The result is a band around the wick that scales with volatility. On high-ATR charts, zones are thicker. On calm charts, they are narrower and more precise.
Zone lifecycle, decay, and removal
All lifecycle logic is controlled by the Decay & Lifetime group.
Each zone carries:
Score — a floating-point “importance” measure, starting at 1.0 when created.
Direction — +1 for upper zones, −1 for lower zones.
Birth index — bar index at creation time.
Active flag — whether the zone is still considered unbroken and extendable.
1) Active vs broken
Each confirmed bar, the script checks:
For an upper zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves above the top of the zone.
For a lower zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves below the bottom of the zone.
When a zone breaks:
Its right edge is frozen at the previous bar (no further extension).
The zone remains on the chart, but is no longer updated by price interaction. It still decays in score until removal.
This lets you see where a major level was overrun, while naturally fading its influence over time.
2) Time decay
At each confirmed bar:
Score := Score × Score decay per bar .
A decay value close to 1.0 means very slow decay and long-lived zones.
Lower values (closer to 0.9) mean faster forgetting and more current-focused zones.
You are controlling how quickly the market “forgets” past events.
3) Age and score-based removal
Zones are removed when either:
Age in bars exceeds Max bars a zone can live .
This is a hard lifetime cap.
Score falls below Minimum score before removal .
This trims zones that have decayed into irrelevance even if their age is still within bounds.
When a zone is removed, its box is deleted and all associated state is freed to keep performance and visuals clean.
Unified gradient and color logic
Color control lives in Gradient & Color . The indicator uses a single continuous gradient for all zones, above and below price, so you can read strength at a glance without guessing what palette means what.
Base colors
You set:
Mid strength color (green) — used for mid-level strength zones and as the “anchor” in the gradient.
High strength color (red) — used for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — the maximum visual opacity for the solid part of the gradient. Lower values here mean more solid; higher values mean more transparent.
The script then defines three internal points:
Clear end — same as mid color, but with a high alpha (close to transparent).
Mid end — mid color at the strongest allowed opacity.
High end — high color at the strongest allowed opacity.
Strength normalization
Within each update:
The script finds the maximum score among all existing zones.
Each zone’s strength is computed as its score divided by this maximum.
Strength is clamped into .
This means a zone with strength 1.0 is currently the strongest zone on the chart. Other zones are colored relative to that.
Piecewise gradient
Color is assigned in two stages:
For strength between 0.0 and 0.5: interpolate from “clear” green to solid green.
Weak zones are barely visible, mid-strength zones appear as solid green.
For strength between 0.5 and 1.0: interpolate from solid green to solid red.
The strongest zones shift toward the red anchor, clearly separating them from everything else.
Strength scale legend
To make the gradient readable, the indicator draws a vertical legend on the right side of the chart:
About 15 cells from top (Strong) to bottom (Weak).
Each cell uses the same gradient function as the zones themselves.
Top cell is labeled “Strong”; bottom cell is labeled “Weak”.
This legend acts as a fixed reference so you can instantly map a zone’s color to its approximate strength rank.
What it plots
At a glance, the indicator produces:
Upper liquidity zones above price, built from large upper wick events.
Lower liquidity zones below price, built from large lower wick events.
All zones colored by relative strength using the same gradient.
Zones that freeze when price breaks them, then fade out via decay and removal.
A strength scale legend on the right to interpret the gradient.
There are no extra lines, labels, or clutter. The focus is the evolving structure of liquidity zones and their visual strength.
How to read the zones
Bright red / bright green zones
These are your current “major” liquidity areas. They have high scores relative to other zones and have not yet decayed. Expect meaningful reactions, absorption attempts, or spillover moves when price interacts with them.
Faded zones
Pale, nearly transparent zones are either old, decayed, or minor. They can still matter, but priority is lower. If these are in the middle of a long consolidation, they often become background noise.
Broken but still visible zones
Zones whose extension has stopped have been overrun by closing price. They show where a key level gave way. You can use them as context for regime shifts or failed attempts.
Absence of zones
A chart with few or no zones means that, under your current thresholds, there have not been strong enough liquidity events recently. Either tighten the filters or accept that recent price action has been relatively balanced.
Use cases
1) Intraday liquidity hunting
Run the indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 1–15 minute) with moderately fast decay.
Use the upper zones as potential sell reaction areas, the lower zones as potential buy reaction areas.
Combine with order flow, CVD, or footprint tools to see whether price is absorbing or rejecting at each zone.
2) Swing trading context
Increase ATR length and range/wick multipliers to focus only on major spikes.
Set slower decay and higher max lifetime so zones persist across multiple sessions.
Use these zones as swing inflection areas for larger setups, for example anticipating re-tests after breakouts.
3) Stop placement and invalidation
For longs, place invalidation beyond a decaying lower zone rather than in the middle of noise.
For shorts, place invalidation beyond strong upper zones.
If price closes through a strong zone and it freezes, treat that as additional evidence your prior bias may be wrong.
4) Identifying trapped flows
Upper zones formed after violent spikes up that quickly fail can mark trapped longs.
Lower zones formed after violent spikes down that quickly reverse can mark trapped shorts.
Watching how price behaves on the next touch of those zones can hint at whether those participants are being rescued or squeezed.
Settings overview
Event Detection
Use volume filter — enable or disable the volume spike requirement.
Volume SMA length — rolling window for average volume.
Volume spike multiplier — how aggressive the volume spike filter is.
ATR length — period for ATR, used in all size comparisons.
Min wick size in ATRs — minimum wick size threshold.
Min range in ATRs — minimum bar range threshold.
Zone Geometry
Zone thickness in ATRs — vertical size of each liquidity zone, scaled by ATR.
Decay & Lifetime
Score decay per bar — multiplicative decay factor for each zone score per bar.
Max bars a zone can live — hard cap on lifetime.
Minimum score before removal — score cut-off at which zones are deleted.
Gradient & Color
Mid strength color (green) — base color for mid-level zones and the lower half of the gradient.
High strength color (red) — target color for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — controls the most solid end of the gradient (0 = fully solid, 100 = fully invisible).
Tuning guidance
Fast, session-only liquidity
Shorter ATR length (e.g., 20–50).
Higher wick and range multipliers to focus only on extreme events.
Decay per bar closer to 0.95–0.98 and moderate max lifetime.
Volume filter enabled with a decent multiplier (e.g., 1.5–2.0).
Slow, structural zones
Longer ATR length (e.g., 100+).
Moderate wick and range thresholds.
Decay per bar very close to 1.0 for slow fading.
Higher max lifetime and slightly higher min score threshold so only very weak zones disappear.
Noisy, high-volatility instruments
Increase wick and range ATR multipliers to avoid over-triggering.
Consider enabling the volume filter with stronger settings.
Keep decay moderate to avoid the chart getting overloaded with old zones.
Notes
This is a structural and contextual tool, not a complete trading system. It does not account for transaction costs, execution slippage, or your specific strategy rules. Use it to:
Highlight where liquidity has recently been tested hard.
Rank these areas by decaying strength.
Guide your attention when layering in separate entry signals, risk management, and higher-timeframe context.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones is designed to keep your chart focused on where the market has most recently “cared” about price, and to gradually forget what no longer matters. Adjust the detection, geometry, decay, and gradient to fit your product and timeframe, and let the zones show you which parts of the tape still have unfinished business.
