Open Range Volatility (High/Low %)Overview
The Open-to-High/Low Movement Indicator helps traders visualize the percentage change between the opening price and the highest & lowest points of each trading session. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying intraday volatility, momentum strength, and potential reversals.
Key Features
✅ Real-Time High/Low Percentage Movement – Calculates and plots the percentage movement from the opening price to both the session high (green line) and session low (red line).
✅ Separate Chart Pane – Keeps your main price chart clean while displaying movements in a separate panel.
✅ Zero Reference Line – Helps distinguish upward and downward movements.
✅ +10% and -10% Threshold Lines – Assists in identifying significant price swings.
✅ Customizable & Lightweight – Efficiently tracks market movements without slowing down your chart.
How to Use
When the green line moves higher, it indicates strong buying pressure after the open.
When the red line moves lower, it shows selling pressure from the open price.
If movements stay within a small range, the market is experiencing low volatility.
Extreme movements beyond ±10% can indicate potential breakout or reversal zones.

Advanced Session Profile Predictor with SR Boxes & ORAdvanced Session Profile Predictor with Momentum Arrows
Designed for intraday traders, this indicator analyzes price action across Asia, London, and New York sessions to predict market profiles and highlight key trading opportunities. By combining session-based profiling, Opening Range (OR) visualization, and momentum signals from Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), it offers a unique tool for anticipating trends, reversals, and breakouts. Ideal for forex, indices, and crypto on 15M–1H charts.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike typical session indicators that only mark time zones or standard TDI scripts that focus on momentum, this tool:
Predicts market profiles (e.g., "Trend Continuation," "NY Manipulation") by analyzing session ranges and directional moves, offering actionable insights into how sessions interact.
Visualizes Opening Range (OR) boxes for the first 15 minutes of each session, helping traders spot early breakout levels.
Integrates TDI with momentum to generate precise bullish/bearish arrows, filtered by session context for improved reliability.
Simplifies decision-making with dynamic profile labels showing real-time long/short conditions based on price levels.
How Does It Work?
Session Tracking:
Asia (00:00–08:00 UTC, yellow), London (08:00–16:00 UTC, red), and New York (13:00–21:00 UTC, blue) sessions are highlighted with background colors and high/low lines (crosses).
OR boxes (first 15 minutes) are drawn for each session: yellow for Asia, red for London, blue for NY.
Profile Prediction:
Compares Asia and London session ranges and directions (e.g., trending if range > 1.5x 5-period SMA).
Examples:
Trend Continuation: Asia and London trend in the same direction—long above Asia high (uptrend) or short below Asia low (downtrend).
NY Manipulation: Asia trends, London consolidates—watch for NY breakouts at London high/low.
Displays the predicted profile and entry conditions in labels (e.g., "IF price hits 1.2000 LONG").
Momentum Arrows:
Uses TDI (RSI period 21, bands 34, fast MA 2) and 12-period momentum.
Green up arrow: Fast MA > upper band (>68) and momentum rising (bullish).
Red down arrow: Fast MA < lower band (<32) and momentum falling (bearish).
Support/Resistance (SR):
Plots dynamic SR boxes based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume (inspired by ChartPrime’s methodology, credited below).
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to a 15M–1H chart. Adjust time zone (default: UTC) and session times if needed. Customize TDI/momentum settings for sensitivity.
Trading:
Check the top-right labels for the current profile and entry conditions (e.g., "IF price hits LONG/SHORT").
Confirm entries with green up arrows (bullish) or red down arrows (bearish).
Use OR boxes and session high/low lines to identify breakout or reversal levels.
Example: In "NY Manipulation," wait for price to hit London high (long) or low (short) during NY session, confirmed by an arrow.
Best Markets: Forex (EUR/USD), indices (SPX500), crypto (BTC/USD) with sufficient intraday volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Session Profiling: Detects trends (range > SMA * threshold) and manipulation (e.g., London breaking Asia’s high/low) to predict NY behavior.
OR Boxes: Marks the first 15 minutes’ high/low as a breakout zone (time-based, 900,000 ms).
TDI + Momentum: Combines RSI-based bands with price change (close – close ) for momentum signals.
SR Boxes: Identifies pivots over a lookback period (default 20), scaled by ATR and filtered by volume thresholds.
Credits
The SR box logic is inspired by ChartPrime’s volume-filtered support/resistance methodology, adapted with custom breakout/hold detection. Original authors are credited for their foundational work.
Chart Setup
Displays session backgrounds, OR boxes, high/low lines, TDI arrows, and profile labels. Keep other indicators off for clarity.
Morning RangeOverview
The Morning Range Indicator highlights the high and low of the market session from 6 AM to 10AM, providing key levels for potential breakout trades. The box dynamically updates in real-time, extending until 4 PM, and adjusts color based on price action.
This tool is ideal for traders looking to identify breakout opportunities and visualize key intraday price ranges.
How It Works
Session High & Low (6 AM - 10 AM)
The indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low within this time window.
Once 10 AM passes, the high and low are locked in and will not change.
Box Extends Until 4 PM
The session box remains visible throughout the trading day.
It provides a visual reference for potential breakout zones.
Dynamic Box Coloring
Gray (Neutral): Neither high nor low is broken.
Green: Only the high is broken before 4 PM.
Red: Only the low is broken before 4 PM.
Yellow: Both high and low are broken before 4 PM.
Live Updating Box
The box appears as soon as the session begins at 6 AM.
It dynamically updates the high and low until 10 AM.
Alerts for Breakouts
This indicator includes built-in alert conditions, so you can set up TradingView alerts without modifying the script.
Morning Range High Broken → Triggers when price breaks above the morning high.
Morning Range Low Broken → Triggers when price breaks below the morning low.
To set alerts:
Click the Alerts (⏰) icon in TradingView.
Select Condition → "Morning Range High Broken" or "Morning Range Low Broken".
Choose your preferred notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.).
Click Create to activate the alert.
Who This Is For
✔ Intraday & Scalp Traders – Identify key breakout levels for short-term trades.
✔ Futures & Forex Traders – Works great for markets like NQ, ES, Gold, and FX pairs.
✔ Breakout & Reversal Traders – Use the high/low boundaries as support & resistance levels.
Customization
This indicator automatically updates every day and requires no manual input.
You can change alert settings via TradingView’s built-in alert system.
How to Use This Indicator
Watch for breakouts above/below the morning range as potential trade opportunities.
Combine with volume, momentum indicators, or footprint charts for confirmation.
Use the box color to visually assess whether price action is bullish (green), bearish (red), or ranging (gray).
Pre-London High-Low Breakout IndicatorOverview
The Pre-London High-Low Breakout Indicator helps traders identify breakout opportunities at the London session open. It marks the high and low one hour before London opens (5 PM - 6 PM AEST) and incorporates a 200 SMA filter to confirm trade direction. The indicator also provides real-time breakout markers for precise entries.
How the Indicator Works
1. Pre-London High & Low Identification (5 PM - 6 PM AEST)
The indicator tracks the highest and lowest price levels within this period.
These levels act as key breakout zones once London opens.
The high and low remain visible until 12 AM AEST for reference.
2. 200 SMA as a Trend Filter
A 200 SMA (yellow, thick line) is plotted to filter breakout trades.
Only long (buy) trades are valid if price is above the 200 SMA.
Only short (sell) trades are valid if price is below the 200 SMA.
3. Real-Time Breakout Confirmation
Buy Signal (Green Diamond):
Price breaks above the pre-London high.
Price is above the 200 SMA.
Sell Signal (Red Diamond):
Price breaks below the pre-London low.
Price is below the 200 SMA.
No signal appears if the breakout is against the SMA trend, reducing false trades.
How to Use the Indicator Properly
Step 1: Identify the Pre-London Range (5 PM - 6 PM AEST)
Observe price movements and note the session high & low.
Do not take trades within this period—wait for a clear breakout.
Step 2: Wait for a Breakout After 6 PM AEST
A breakout must occur beyond the session high or low.
The breakout should be clear and decisive, not hovering around the range.
Step 3: Confirm with the 200 SMA
If price is above the 200 SMA, only buy signals are valid.
If price is below the 200 SMA, only sell signals are valid.
If a breakout occurs against the SMA, ignore it.
Step 4: Enter the Trade and Manage Risk
Enter the trade after the breakout candle closes.
Set stop-loss just inside the pre-London range to minimize risk.
Take profit using a 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward ratio, or trail the stop.
Why This Strategy Works
Pre-London Liquidity Grab: Institutional traders set positions before the London open, making this range significant.
Trend Confirmation with SMA: Reduces false breakouts by filtering trades in the direction of the trend.
Real-Time Breakout Detection: Green and red diamond markers highlight valid breakouts that meet all conditions.
Final Notes
If price breaks out but quickly reverses, it may be a false breakout—avoid impulsive trades.
The indicator works best when combined with other confluences such as volume analysis or key support/resistance levels.
Alerts can be added to notify traders when a valid breakout occurs.
This setup is ideal for traders looking for a structured, rule-based approach to trading London session breakouts with a strong trend confirmation mechanism.

Key Levels Suite - By LeviathanThis is a comprehensive script, designed to display over 100 key price levels across multiple dimensions, including volume profile levels, HTF levels, VWAPs, SMAs/EMAs, market session levels, day of week levels and more. The indicator offers high flexibility in features, settings and visual appearance.
● The script organizes levels into six main categories:
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels
- Current and/or previous period: Open, High, Low, and Midpoint for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current weekly high/low and previous weekly high/low).
- These levels provide a clear structure for identifying key support and resistance zones. Traders often use HTF levels to anticipate price reactions, such as bounces or rejections, at major highs and lows. For example, a price nearing the weekly high could signal an area of resistance.
VWAP Levels
- Current and/or previous period: VWAP and upper/lower standard deviations for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current daily VWAP and previous weekly VWAP).
- VWAP levels give traders insight into whether the current price is above or below the fair market value for a given period. It’s often used as a reference point for trend direction or S/R. If the price remains above VWAP, the trend may be seen as bullish, while breaks below VWAP can suggest a shift toward bearish sentiment. Standard deviations help identify areas where the price may be overextended, offering opportunities for mean reversion trades.
Moving Average Levels
- EMA and SMA for three customizable lengths (eg. levels for 200 EMA, 50 EMA and 100 SMA).
- These levels act as dynamic support and resistance lines that adjust with price movement. Traders use them to confirm trend direction and watch for reactions around these levels, particularly in trending markets. For example, when the price pulls back to a 200 EMA, it could present an opportunity to enter a trade in line with the prevailing trend.
Volume Profile Levels
- Current and previous: Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL) for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current day POC and previous day POC).
- Volume Profile levels highlight price areas where significant trading occurred. The POC indicates the price where the most volume was traded and can act as a strong magnet for price. VAH and VAL mark the boundaries of value areas, making them excellent spots for breakout or mean reversion trades. Traders look for price reactions around these zones to either join or fade moves.
Market Session Levels
- Current and previous: Open, high, low, and midpoint for three user-defined sessions, with default being Tokyo, London, and New York (eg. levels for current New York session open and previous New York session high and low).
- Session levels allow traders to track how price behaves across different global market sessions. For instance, the New York open often brings increased liquidity and volatility. Traders often use these levels to anticipate sharp moves or continuations, especially after session highs and lows are broken, signaling shifts in market momentum.
Day of Week Levels
- Open, high, low, and midpoint for Monday through Sunday (eg. levels for Monday's high and low and Tuesday open).
- These levels help traders identify recurring intraday or intraweek price behaviors. For example, highs or lows established earlier in the week can serve as benchmarks for breakouts or retracements later on. Monday’s open or Friday’s high/low often reflect market sentiment going into or out of the weekend, providing valuable clues for planning trades.
● About the script
I published this script because it was heavily requested by my Tradingview followers who wanted a clean and feature-rich indicator that can display various levels they use in their analysis. The indicator can display levels that are not available in other similar public scripts and makes sure to calculate and load calculation-intensive levels (like volume profile levels, higher timeframe vwap levels, etc) as fast and efficiently as possible. It is one of the only scripts I've published that is not open source. The code is protected because it includes some proprietary calculations (eg: for POC/VAH/VAL), that I don't wish to open source, but I still want to publish a heavily requested script in a public and free format.
● How to use the script
1. Add the script to your chart
Start by adding the script to your chart like any other indicator.
2. Open the indicator settings
Click the settings icon to access all customization options.
3. Select which level groups to display
In the "Controls" section, choose which groups of levels (HTF, VWAP, Moving Averages, etc.) you want displayed. This allows you to quickly toggle between different sets of levels depending on your analysis needs, without overcrowding the chart.
4. Adjust group-specific settings
Scroll down to access detailed settings for each group. For any group, you can choose:
- The relevant time parameter (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc for HTF/VWAP/Volume Profile levels, length for Moving Average levels, day for Day of Week Levels, etc).
- Specific levels to display (e.g., Open/High/Low/Midpoint for HTF, VWAP, Day of Week, Session levels and POC/VAH/VAL for Volume Profile levels).
- For applicable groups, you can also toggle previous period levels by selecting them from the row starting with the "↳" icon.
5. Customize visual appearance
In the "Appearance" section, you have full control over how the levels and labels look. You can:
- Choose what details appear in the labels (e.g., level name, price, or percentage distance from current price).
- Pick from different line types, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), adjust line width, and manage the length of the lines using "Offset Right" and "Offset Left" settings.
- Modify font, label size, and color options. If multiple levels overlap at the same price, use the “Merge Levels” option to combine them into one, reducing visual clutter.
6. Customize level names to your preference
In the "Labels" section, you can rename any parameter to match your preferred abbreviations (e.g., change “Weekly Open” to “wO” or any other shorthand that works for you).
● Key Features:
- Display various different important levels, all in one indicator
- Seamless control of which group of levels / specific level to display
- Choose from various line and label styles to display levels.
- Labels can show the level's title (customizable abbreviations), price, and percentage distance from the current price.
- Merge nearby levels to reduce chart clutter, either for identical levels or those within a user-defined percentage range.
- Fully customizable visual appearance of levels to suit individual preferences.

🔔 Set Alerts : Enable alerts for session breakouts or when price hits your designated take-profit targets.
🔍 How It Works
This script operates by identifying session-specific ranges based on highs and lows from the beginning of the selected session (Asia, America, Europe, or others). After a user-defined wait period (default: 120 bars), it calculates the highest and lowest points and creates upper and lower zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility. If the price breaks above or below these zones, it is identified as a breakout, and the script dynamically calculates up to three take-profit targets for both bullish and bearish scenarios using an ATR multiplier. The indicator also includes alerts for breakouts and take-profit hits, providing real-time trading signals.
Statistics: High & Low timings of custom session; 1yr historyGet statistics of the Session High and Session Low timings for any custom session; based on around 1yr of data.
//Purpose:
-To get data on the 'time of day' tendencies of an asset.
-Narrow in on a custom defined session and get statistics on that session.
//Notes:
-Input times are always in New York time (but changing the timezone after setting WILL adust both table stats and background highlight correctly.
-For particularly long sessions, make sure text size is set to 'tiny' (very long vertical table), or adjust table to display horizontally.
-You'll notice most assets show higher readings around NY equities open (9:30am NY time). Other assets will have 'hot-spots' at other times too.
-Timings represent the beginning of a 15m candle. i.e. reading for 15:45 represents a high occurring between 15:45 and 1600.
-Premium users should get 20k bars => around 1year's worth of data on a 15minute chart. Days of history is displayed in the top left corner of the table.
//Limitations
-only designed and working on 15minute timeframe (to gather a full year of meaningful/comparable % stats, need 15minute 'buckets' of time.
-sessions cannot cross through midnight, or start at midnight (00:15 is ok). 00:15 >> 23:45 is the max session length. On BTC, same applies but 01:00 instead of midnight (all in NY time).
-if your session crosses through 'dead time' (e.g. 17:00-18:00 S&P NY time); table will correctly omit these non-existent candles, but it will add on the missing hour before the start time.
//Cautionary note:
-Since markets are not uncommonly in a trending state when your defined session starts or ends, the high/low timings % readings for start and end of session may be misleadingly high. Try to look for unusually high readings that are not at the start/end of your session.

Session TPO Market ProfileIntroduction
Wikipedia: A Market Profile is an intra-day charting technique (price vertical, time/activity horizontal) devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), ca 1959-1985. Steidlmayer was seeking a way to determine and to evaluate market value as it developed in the day time frame. The concept was to display price on a vertical axis against time on the horizontal, and the ensuing graphic generally is a bell shape--fatter at the middle prices, with activity trailing off and volume diminished at the extreme higher and lower prices. In this structure he recognized the 'normal', Gaussian distribution he had been introduced to in college statistics.
Important : The market profile tool is designed to be used on the 30min timeframe, however, you can modify its parameters and use it on lower timeframes (15/10/5min)
This indicators displays the following information
Session open
TPO
Value area calculation zone
POC
Highlight of Single prints
Session High/Low
The current price (TPO Profile is often used isolated without any candlesticks on it)
Parameters
Session beginning configuration (not coded with a session input yet)
Number of candles to use for calculation (default 13 for a single session)
Extend yesterday's levels (VAH/VAL/POC)
Show/Hide Market profile calculation area (background color)
Bars number (number of rows that will be used to draw the profile)
Show/Hide TPO's
TPO Colors customization (For in/out of VA, VAL/VAH/POC/High/Low levels and single prints)
Show/Hide High/Low levels
Show/Hide VAL/VAH/POC Levels as lines
Enable/Disable Single prints highlighting
Value area size (as percent)
Show/Hide current price (corresponding to a line scaled on the "close" price)
Additional Notes
Each session is drawn when the day is over
To use as much space as possible, TPO's are not directly drawn on the area of their calculation (which can be confusing if you use candlesticks directly over it)
This script will probably be updated in the future (especially concerning its implementation which is a bit spaghetti coded for now) .
If you have interesting suggestions about new features that are usual within market profile tools and missing from this script , don't hesitate to suggest it.
NVME Blackfire XNVME Blackfire X Indicator is a trend-confirmation indicator that includes Buy and Sell signals on the chart, Support & Resistance lines, Automatic Trendlines, Session Highs and Lows, Previous MTF Candle's Highs and Lows, Strategy Mode with Working Win/Loss Calculator, Built-In Position Size Calculator, Institutional Zones, Re-Entry Points and Filters, Customisable Market Dashboard and Alerts for Many Features.
The 2 main settings for the algorithm are 'Sensitivity' and 'Agility'. When you place Blackfire X onto your charts, you should be met automatically with the best settings we've found so far and don't worry if you are struggling to find settings because our system has an onboard system that provides you with an automatic "Best Settings" for the current pair that you are on. You can choose to enable this feature on the algorithm settings or simply see what is ideal on the dashboard too.
The 'Sensitivity' controls how quickly the algorithm responds to the market's trend changes. The higher the sensitivity, the less trades on the chart. The lower the sensitivity, the more trades you'll find on the chart.
The 'Agility' controls where the signals are placed within the trend change, a lower agility will give you signals closer to its reversal points and a higher agility will give you slower signals.
We also have the option to change the indicator to your trading style, there are four modes that heavily impacts the algorithm's calculations.
These are "default", "swing mode", "scalp mode", "strategy mode".
"Default" is our normal algorithm module that utilises the user's input to provide signals using a basic filtration system.
"Swing Mode" is our algorithm that has been modified to give signals that are more delayed for swing traders.
"Scalp Mode" is our algorithm that has been modified to give signals that are quick and fast for scalps.
"Strategy Mode" utilises our default mode but instead places the user in a mode where trades will only appear if a stop loss or a take profit area has been met by the price after the signal call.
Our third key option is our bar colour switches, there are multiple options such as "Cloud-Based", "Pivot Based", "S/R Based", "Change-Based" and "Two Colour Modes". NVME Blackfire X colours the candles in the direction of the trend and a green colour shows an uptrend, a purple colour shows an unconfirmed trend or often a ranging area and a red colour shows a downtrend.
We must let traders know that the signals should be used carefully and with a trader's strategy rather than following signals for the sake of it being printed there!
Since we want this algorithm to have necessary features and respond fast too, we have chosen only trend-following and analysis features that will be quick to use and easy to understand. We want this to be different from our Vanquisher X algorithm as that is a massive multi-tool full of features for traders to enjoy.
The first main feature is our 'Trend Cloud' system, it utilises two moving average plots that creates a cloud filling and with our algorithm you can customise both of the moving averages to any currently existing moving average in the PineScript Library.
The second feature is our 'Institutional Zones' system, which plots area of the market where the institutions have placed orders and these can be used as an extra support and resistance zone for trades. There is an input option that allows the user to get more or less zones and it is called "The Detection Strength", increasing this will show more zones whilst decreasing it will show less.
The third feature is our 'Automatic Trendlines' system, which utilises two input methods ('Trendline Period' and 'Trendline Detection Ratio'), the period controls how many bars of data to lookback to for the trend-lines and the detection ratio controls how many trend-lines are plotted onto the chart.
The fourth feature is our 'Session High and Lows' system, which plots the highest high and the lowest low of each session in the trading hours, these plots can be useful for breakout traders.
The fifth feature is our 'MTF Candle Info' system, which plots the candle's high and low or the candle's open and close for a timeframe and the previous candle of choice. This can also be used for breakout traders such as having a lower timeframe breakout for a higher timeframe plot.
The sixth feature is our 'Adaptive S/R Zones', which plots support and resistance zones into any market pair that are accurate points at which the market could react and reject from.
* Informative Market Dashboard *
Our simple panel on your chart displays the most relevant data from all of our features and calculations in real-time.
Confirmation
The confirmation simply tells the user what the previous signal was and this can be useful if the user may decide to have their signals turned off on the charts.
Market State
The market state informs the user the direction of the trend whether it be ranging, in an uptrend or downtrend, you'll see the emoji that corresponds to that.
Recommended Sensitivity
This feature will show the user what the recommended sensitivity is for the current pair that the user is on and the user may find this helpful if they don't know what settings to use.
Recommended Agility
This feature will show the user what the recommended agility is for the current pair that the user is on and the user may find this helpful if they don't know what settings to use.
Trend Control
The trend control feature calculates data using the user set bars back input and it determines all the factors within the trend to give you an informative response, an uptrend will have "Bulls by: " + percentage of control and a downtrend will have "Bears by" + percentage of control.
Pair Strength
The pair strength is measures the control of bulls or bears in the form of the market strength and it will give the same response as the trend control but the percentage will be based on the buying or selling pressure.
Pair's Change
The pairs change measures the change in price from point A to point B, if the change is greater than 0%, the dashboard will inform you that Bulls are in control, and if not the dashboard will inform you that Bears are in control.
Market Money
The market money measures the amount of volume and money that is going into the current asset and if the net change is greater than 0%, bulls will be in control, if not then bears are giving the market their money.
NVME Oscillator X
This is our very own oscillator that has been integrated into our dashboard, allowing the user to see the trend of our other indicator without having to fill their charts up with more noise. If the oscillator is in a downtrend then the dashboard will state that its in a downtrend and if it is in an uptrend then it will show an uptrend text.
Volatility
This feature measures the amount of volatility in any pair and provides user with the percentage value so they can see whether or not the market is extremely volatile at the current time.
Current Session
This feature will tell the user what session they are currently on such as London, Europe, New York, Asia, Australia.
Volume Profile [Makit0]VOLUME PROFILE INDICATOR v0.5 beta
Volume Profile is suitable for day and swing trading on stock and futures markets, is a volume based indicator that gives you 6 key values for each session: POC, VAH, VAL, profile HIGH, LOW and MID levels. This project was born on the idea of plotting the RTH sessions Value Areas for /ES in an automated way, but you can select between 3 different sessions: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL sessions.
Some basic concepts:
- Volume Profile calculates the total volume for the session at each price level and give us market generated information about what price and range of prices are the most traded (where the value is)
- Value Area (VA): range of prices where 70% of the session volume is traded
- Value Area High (VAH): highest price within VA
- Value Area Low (VAL): lowest price within VA
- Point of Control (POC): the most traded price of the session (with the most volume)
- Session HIGH, LOW and MID levels are also important
There are a huge amount of things to know of Market Profile and Auction Theory like types of days, types of openings, relationships between value areas and openings... for those interested Jim Dalton's work is the way to come
I'm in my 2nd trading year and my goal for this year is learning to daytrade the futures markets thru the lens of Market Profile
For info on Volume Profile: TV Volume Profile wiki page at www.tradingview.com
For info on Market Profile and Market Auction Theory: Jim Dalton's book Mind over markets (this is a MUST)
BE AWARE: this indicator is based on the current chart's time interval and it only plots on 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes charts.
This is the correlation table TV uses in the Volume Profile Session Volume indicator (from the wiki above)
Chart Indicator
1 - 5 1
6 - 15 5
16 - 30 10
31 - 60 15
61 - 120 30
121 - 1D 60
This indicator doesn't follow that correlation, it doesn't get the volume data from a lower timeframe, it gets the data from the current chart resolution.
FEATURES
- 6 key values for each session: POC (solid yellow), VAH (solid red), VAL (solid green), profile HIGH (dashed silver), LOW (dashed silver) and MID (dotted silver) levels
- 3 sessions to choose for: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL
- select the numbers of sessions to plot by adding 12 hours periods back in time
- show/hide POC
- show/hide VAH & VAL
- show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID levels
- highlight the periods of time out of the session (silver)
- extend the plotted lines all the way to the right, be careful this can turn the chart unreadable if there are a lot of sessions and lines plotted
SETTINGS
- Session: select between RTH (8:30 to 15:15 CT), GLOBEX (17:00 to 8:30 CT) and FULL (17:00 to 15:15 CT) sessions. RTH by default
- Last 12 hour periods to show: select the deph of the study by adding periods, for example, 60 periods are 30 natural days and around 22 trading days. 1 period by default
- Show POC (Point of Control): show/hide POC line. true by default
- Show VA (Value Area High & Low): show/hide VAH & VAL lines. true by default
- Show Range (Session High, Low & Mid): show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID lines. true by default
- Highlight out of session: show/hide a silver shadow over the non session periods. true by default
- Extension: Extend all the plotted lines to the right. false by default
HOW TO SETUP
BE AWARE THIS INDICATOR PLOTS ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CHART RESOLUTIONS: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 AND 30 MINUTES CHARTS. YOU MUST SELECT ONE OF THIS RESOLUTIONS TO THE INDICATOR BE ABLE TO PLOT
- By default this indicator plots all the levels for the last RTH session within the last 12 hours, if there is no plot try to adjust the 12 hours periods until the seesion and the periods match
- For Globex/Full sessions just select what you want from the dropdown menu and adjust the periods to plot the values
- Show or hide the levels you want with the 3 groups: POC line, VA lines and Session Range lines
- The highlight and extension options are for a better visibility of the levels as POC or VAH/VAL

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY TRADING
Session Levels [odnac]This indicator plots the high and low levels of the three main trading sessions—Asia, Europe, and New York—along with the previous day’s high, low, and open. Each session’s time range can be customized using a UTC offset, and the indicator automatically tracks session highs and lows as price develops.
Functions:
Plots session highs and lows for Asia, Europe, and New York.
Shows previous day’s high, low, and open as reference levels.
Session times are fully configurable with hour and minute precision, including UTC offset adjustment.
Each session level is marked with both a line and a label for clarity.
Color customization for each session and previous day levels.
Designed for intraday timeframes (1–60 minutes).
Filter Condition:
When the filter option is enabled, the indicator adjusts how levels are drawn:
A session high above the current close is displayed as a solid line with a visible label.
Once price closes above that high, the line becomes dotted and dimmed, and the label also becomes less emphasized.
Similarly, a session low below the current close is displayed as a solid line and label.
If price closes below that low, the line switches to dotted and dimmed, with the label adjusted accordingly.
This behavior highlights only the most relevant levels for the current market position while still keeping breached levels visible in a subdued style, making it easier to spot active breakout or liquidity zones.
DR/IDR Sessions with Standard Deviation (v1.5)This indicator plots the Defining Range (DR) and Initial Defining Range (IDR) during Regular, After, and Overnight sessions. It automatically identifies the session highs, lows, and midpoints, then extends these levels into later trading hours for market structure analysis.
Key features:
📍 Session Detection: Automatically marks Regular (RDR), After-hours (ADR), and Overnight (ODR) ranges.
📈 DR & IDR Lines: High, Low, and optional Mid lines for both DR and IDR.
🟩 Opening Line: Plots the session’s opening price with customizable extension options.
🎨 Visual Boxes: Highlights the DR/IDR area with customizable up/down coloring (based on candle open/close).
➕ Standard Deviation Lines: Plots levels at multiples of 0.5 × IDR, either dynamically (following price) or statically (fixed number of levels).
⏳ Extend Options: Extend ranges to session end, ADR end, ODR end, or dynamically follow price.
⚙️ Highly Customizable: Colors, line styles, box shading, visibility history, and extension behavior.
Usage:
Traders use this indicator to analyze liquidity, session ranges, and potential breakout or mean-reversion zones. The DR/IDR concept is often used in ICT-style trading to identify accumulation ranges and expansion phases. Standard Deviation lines help in spotting overextensions and possible reversal levels.

BDNS ORB Strategy v3BDNS Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What This Strategy Does This strategy implements an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) system that identifies the high and low prices during a customizable opening period, then trades breakouts above or below these levels with momentum confirmation. The strategy goes beyond basic ORB concepts by incorporating ADX momentum filtering, VWAP directional bias, dynamic position sizing, and sophisticated exit management including breakeven moves and trailing stops.
Core Strategy Logic
Opening Range Definition: The strategy tracks price action during a user-defined opening period (default: 9:30-9:35 AM ET for 5 minutes). During this time, blue horizontal lines appear marking the session high and low. A yellow background highlights this opening range period.
Breakout Detection: After the opening range completes, green and red horizontal lines appear showing the actual entry levels - these are offset from the range boundaries by a configurable number of ticks (default: 24 ticks) to filter out false breakouts and ensure committed moves.
Entry Conditions: Trades trigger when price breaks through these offset levels during the trading window (green background, default until 10:30 AM ET), but only when:
ADX momentum indicator exceeds threshold (default 24.0) in the breakout direction
Price relationship to VWAP confirms directional bias (when VWAP filter enabled)
Daily trade limits haven't been reached
Large range filtering conditions are met
Visual Elements and Usage
Range Lines: Blue lines show the actual opening range boundaries. These appear immediately when the opening session begins.
Entry Levels: Green (long) and red (short) lines show where trades will trigger, appearing after the opening range completes.
Information Table: A data table appears in the top-right showing real-time strategy status including range size in ticks, ADX readings, filter status, trade counts, and momentum conditions.
Position Management:
When in a trade, colored circles appear showing:
Lime circles: Long position targets (T1, T2, T3)
Orange circles: Short position targets
Red circles: Stop loss levels
Blue crosses: Breakeven levels (when that feature activates)
Purple lines: Trailing stop levels (when position 3 trailing activates)
Background Colors:
Yellow: Opening range session active
Green: Trading window active
Purple: Large range day detected
Gray: Large range day being skipped
Position Management System
The strategy uses a three-tier exit approach:
Position 1: Takes partial profits at first target (default 50% of range size)
Position 2: Exits at second target (default 100% of range size)
Position 3: Either exits at third target or uses trailing stop after Position 2 wins
Breakeven Feature: When enabled and price reaches the breakeven trigger level, all stop losses move to a more favorable breakeven level instead of the original stop, protecting against giving back profits.
Trailing Stop System: After Position 2 hits its target, Position 3 automatically switches to a trailing stop that moves in the trader's favor as price continues trending.
Customization for Different Instruments
The default settings are configured for MNQ (Micro NASDAQ futures) but the ORB concept is highly customizable for any futures instrument and timeframe. Range duration, breakout offsets, and filter thresholds should be adjusted based on the specific instrument's volatility characteristics and typical intraday patterns.
Filter Usage Guidelines
ADX Momentum Filter: Essential for avoiding breakouts during consolidation. Higher thresholds (30+) for trending markets, lower (20-25) for more opportunities.
VWAP Filter: Helpful in trending conditions but may reduce trade frequency. Better to disable during range-bound or mean-reverting periods.
Large Range Filter: Critical risk management tool. When the opening range exceeds your threshold:
Skip: Avoids trades when stops would be too large
Fade: Trades mean reversion back into the range
Trade: Takes breakouts regardless (higher risk)
Range Size Considerations: Setting a large range threshold (200-400 ticks) helps avoid days when both sides of the range get tested before any meaningful breakout occurs, which often leads to whipsaws.
Risk Management Features
Dynamic Stops and Targets: All exit levels scale with the opening range size, ensuring risk/reward remains consistent regardless of daily volatility. A 100-tick range day will have proportionally smaller stops than a 300-tick range day.
Position Sizing: Configure contract amounts for each position tier based on account size and risk tolerance.
Daily Trade Limits: Prevents overtrading by limiting trades per direction per day.
Breakout Offset: The tick offset from range boundaries is crucial - too small creates false signals, too large misses good moves. Test different values based on your instrument's typical noise levels.
Advanced Features
Large Third Target: Set Target 3 to 300-500% to essentially hold runners indefinitely, using the trailing stop as the primary exit method for capturing extended trends.
Fade Trading: On large range days, the strategy can trade mean reversion when initial breakouts fail, often providing good counter-trend opportunities.
Time-Based Exits: All positions close at the end of the trading window, preventing overnight risk.
Strategy Properties Used
Initial Capital: $5,000 (realistic for micro contract trading)
Commission: $0.50 per contract (realistic retail rates)
Position Size: 100% of equity (manages risk through contract quantities and stop placement)
Default quantities: 3/1/1 contracts across the three positions
The default settings assume larger account sizes or proprietary trading firm accounts where higher risk tolerance is acceptable. With MNQ at $0.50 per tick, a typical 200-tick opening range with 75% stop loss (150 ticks) would risk $375 on a 5-contract position. For smaller retail accounts, consider reducing position sizes significantly - using only Position 1 (3 contracts) would risk $225, or even reducing to 1-2 total contracts to maintain appropriate risk levels relative to account size.
Getting Started Apply the strategy to your preferred instrument
Adjust the opening range time and duration for your market
Set appropriate breakout offset based on typical noise levels
Configure large range threshold based on your risk tolerance
Test filter combinations to find what works best for your trading style
Adjust contract quantities based on your account size and risk management rules
The strategy works best on liquid instruments with clear opening sessions and sufficient volatility to generate meaningful ranges. Results will vary significantly based on market conditions, parameter settings, and the specific instrument traded.

Smart Money Time (SMT)SMT Divergence – 90m / 30m / 10m (Prev-Cycle, Real-Time, Trailing)
Purpose:
This indicator finds SMT (Smart Money Technique) divergences between two related markets (e.g., CME_MINI:NQ1! vs CME_MINI:ES1! ). It does this per 90m/30m/10m cycles and only compares the current cycle to the immediately previous cycle —never older. It supports three cycle granularities:
90-minute cycles (9 blocks from 02:30–16:00 NY time)
30-minute sub-cycles (27 blocks)
10-minute sub-cycles (81 blocks; exactly 3 per 30-minute cycle)
For each cycle, the script tracks each symbol’s extreme (highest high for potential bearish SMT, lowest low for potential bullish SMT). When the leader sets a new extreme vs its own previous cycle while the lagger fails to do so vs its previous cycle, an SMT divergence is formed and plotted on the chart in real time. Lines trail as price makes new extremes within the same cycle.
What you’ll see on the chart:
A line from the previous cycle’s extreme to the current cycle’s extreme on the symbol pane where the indicator is applied (Primary A).
An optional text label at the current extreme (e.g., “90m SMT”, “30m SMT”, “10m SMT”).
Lines update (“trail”) as the current cycle goes on. When a new cycle begins, tracking resets for that cycle.
Default styling (editable):
90m SMT: solid, width 1, black
30m SMT: solid, width 1, black
10m SMT: dotted, width 1, black
You can toggle the text on/off and change width, style, and colors separately for 90m, 30m, and 10m.
Signals (definitions)
Bearish SMT: One market makes a Higher High vs its own previous cycle, while the other fails to make a Higher High vs its previous cycle.
Bullish SMT: One market makes a Lower Low vs its own previous cycle, while the other fails to make a Lower Low vs its previous cycle.
The line is drawn on Primary A by default.
Settings (explained)
Symbols
Primary Symbol A – the chart’s “leader/lagger” pane the script draws on.
Comparison Symbol B – the second market used for SMT checks.
Detection toggles
Detect SMT: 90m / 30m / 10m – turn on/off detection for each timeframe.
Note: The script always compares current cycle ↔ previous cycle only.
Validate candle direction
When enabled, the bar that makes the new extreme must also close in the confirming direction on that same market:
Bearish SMT: the bar that made the new Higher High must be a down close (close < open).
Bullish SMT: the bar that made the new Lower Low must be an up close (close > open).
This filter removes many “wick-only” probes and reduces false positives.
Turn off if you prefer to register SMTs on any intrabar extreme, regardless of bar close.
Delete SMT when invalidated
After an SMT forms, if the lagger later breaks the previous extreme it initially failed to break, the divergence is considered invalid and the script deletes the line and its label. (An “SMT invalidated” alert can fire if alerts are enabled.)
Enable alerts
Fires on SMT formed (separate messages for 90m/30m/10m and bullish/bearish) and on SMT invalidated.
To use, click Create Alert on the indicator and choose “Any alert() function call”. Use “Once per bar” (or per bar close) to taste.
Appearance – per timeframe (90m / 30m / 10m)
Bullish/Bearish colors, Line width, Line style, Show text (toggle subtitle label).
Text Options
Text color, Text size, Text offset (vertical spacing from the extreme).
How to use
Add to chart and select two related markets, e.g., NQ (A) vs ES (B).
Choose which cycles to monitor (90m / 30m / 10m).
Optionally enable Validate candle direction to demand a confirming close on the bar that made the extreme.
Watch for plotted SMTs:
Bearish SMT (HH vs no HH) often signals potential weakness
Bullish SMT (LL vs no LL) often signals potential strength
Use SMTs as context/confluence—e.g., near session highs/lows, liquidity pools, PD arrays, or your own levels. Combine with structure, order flow, and risk rules.
Turn on alerts to be notified when SMTs form or are invalidated in real time.
Notes & behavior
New-York session timing: Cycles are fixed windows in America/New_York and automatically handle DST.
Real-time & trailing: Lines trail to the most recent extreme within the same cycle but there’s no look-ahead across cycles.
No repaint across cycles: Each signal is strictly current cycle vs previous cycle.
Cleanup: On invalidation the script deletes the label first, then the line, preventing orphan labels.
Tips
10m SMTs are more frequent/noisier; 90m are fewer but more meaningful. Many traders look for multi-frame agreement (e.g., a 30m SMT aligning with a fresh 10m SMT).
If you want fewer signals, keep Validate candle direction on; if you want maximum sensitivity, turn it off.

Session Liquidity [TakingProphets]Session Liquidity
Session Liquidity maps the intraday landscape that ICT/SMC traders care about: each session’s high/low prints, key opens (Midnight, True Day/6PM, 8:30), and prior period reference levels (Previous Week/Day and optional Mon/Tue/Wed). It auto-draws and extends clean horizontal levels, updates them live, and optionally preserves “mitigated” tags so you can review what price consumed. To keep charts readable, overlapping labels at the same price are merged into a single combined label (e.g., LON.H + PDH + PWH) with smart anti-overlap placement.
What it does (at a glance)
– Tracks Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch, and NY PM session highs/lows in your chosen timezone (default America/New_York).
– Draws key opens: Midnight Open, True Day Open (6 PM), and 8:30 Open.
– Plots Previous Week High/Low (PWH/PWL) and Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL) with optional Mon/Tue/Wed references.
– Live extension: lines extend to the current bar; when a level is traded through you can either remove it or keep a left-anchored “mitigated” label.
– Combined labels: when multiple levels share the same price, the script shows one label listing all tokens (e.g., LON.L + PWL).
– Timeframe governor: a Timeframe Limit hides drawings on higher resolutions to avoid clutter (e.g., show on ≤ 30 min only).
– Styling controls: per-feature colors, dotted/dashed/solid styles, and label size/position (session labels left/center/right logic handled via label types and offsets).
How it works:
– Sessions are defined with TradingView’s session input strings. While you are “in session,” the script updates running highs/lows and stores their bar indices. When the session closes, it freezes the prints and draws two horizontal lines: one at the session high (token “ASIA.H”, “LON.H”, “NYAM.H”, “NYLU.H”, “NYPM.H”) and one at the session low (“…L”).
– Prior period levels come from higher-timeframe requests: Previous Week’s High/Low from W, Previous Day from D (plus Mon/Tue/Wed using simple daily offsets). New periods wipe and redraw lines/labels cleanly.
– Key opens are stamped exactly when they occur (00:00 for Midnight, 18:00 for True Day, 08:30 for the print), then extended forward.
– Mitigation logic: if price trades beyond a level, either remove it entirely (Show Mitigated Levels = off) or stop extending the line and drop a small, persistent left-justified label where mitigation occurred (Show Mitigated Levels = on).
– Label combining: on each update, per-level labels are optionally cleared and replaced with one combined label per price level. The script groups by tick index, merges tokens (e.g., LON.H + PDH), and uses a small vertical offset loop to avoid label collisions at the same x-position.
Inputs you control
– Timeframe Limit: drawings will not appear on charts greater than or equal to this resolution.
– Timezone: default America/New_York.
– Label Settings
– Show Labels / Show Session High/Low Levels.
– Show Mitigated Levels: keep a small label where a level was traded through.
– Combine overlapping level labels: merge tokens into one label if prices match.
– Label sizes for levels and for session start/end text (sizes: Tiny/Small/Normal/Large).
– Visual Settings
– Colors for level lines and label text.
– Styles (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) for Previous Week and Previous Day blocks.
– Custom Labels
– Rename tokens for each session print (e.g., ASIA.H, LON.L, NYAM.H, etc.) to match your playbook.
– Key Opens
– Toggle Midnight Open, True Day Open (6 PM), and 8:30 Open lines; customize colors.
– Previous Week / Previous Day
– Toggle PWH/PWL and PDH/PDL; optionally plot Mon/Tue/Wed reference prints.
– Macro Sessions (toodegrees-style bracket)
– Toggle two macro windows (9:45–10:15 and 10:45–11:15).
– Choose bracket height in ticks, line style, label size/text, and optional price projection.
– The bracket is dynamic during its window (extends across the window; top adapts to new highs + chosen height; label centers on completion).
How to use it:
Pick your Timeframe Limit (e.g., 30) so the map only shows where you execute.
Enable the sessions you trade and keep the timezone aligned to your venue.
Turn on the prior period levels you care about (PWH/PWL, PDH/PDL, Mon/Tue/Wed).
Choose whether to preserve mitigated levels. If you journal, keeping mitigated tags helps with post-session review.
Enable combined labels to reduce clutter and spotlight confluence (e.g., LON.H aligning with PDH).
Use Macro windows for playbook timing (9:45–10:15, 10:45–11:15) to visualize typical volatility brackets.
Practical notes
– The indicator is a context and mapping tool; it does not produce signals. Use with your own bias, PD arrays, and execution model.
– Very long lookbacks or many toggles can push object limits on lower-powered machines. Use Timeframe Limit and feature toggles to keep things light.
– If you use custom sessions, ensure they do not overlap unexpectedly in your timezone.
– “Combine labels” intentionally removes per-level labels in favor of one merged label per price level; mitigated labels are preserved by design.
What’s unique here
– A full intraday “session print” system (Asia/London/NY AM/NY Lunch/NY PM) with clean freezing at session close and live line extension.
– True Day/Midnight/8:30 opens integrated into the same framework for a single, coherent liquidity map.
– Prior period structure (week/day + optional Mon/Tue/Wed) and toodegrees-style macro windows in one tool.
– Robust label merging by tick level with anti-overlap logic so multi-signal confluence is readable at a glance.
Blue Ocean BOATS 24/5 US Market DataThis script utilizes Blue Ocean's ATS (Alternative Trading System) and U.S. exchange market data to create a continuous candlestick chart. The continuous data has the option to be used as an indicator or strategy source.
Requirements
The main chart symbol (which can be unrelated to the user-input Ticker Symbol) needs to be a 24/7 chart. An example symbol is CRYPTO:BTCUSD. CME_MINI:ES1! and FX:SPX500 work too, but are not truly 24/5 and will miss ~4 hours of the total trading week from the extended U.S. session.
The main chart's timeframe needs to be intraday. Because the script's output is currently inconsistent on daily or higher timeframes, it will disable itself.
The Ticker Symbol chosen should be a ticker that is traded on U.S. exchanges. This will provide both U.S. extended session data and a BOATS equivalent.
Usage & configuration
This script visualizes the 24-hour Monday-Friday chart of a U.S. exchange ticker. Going a step further, it can be used to compare the performance indices or cryptocurrencies to stock constituents of indices, cryptocurrency treasury stocks or holding ETFs.
The script's output, candlesticks, can be overlaid on the main chart or used as is. A "Price Source" plot is used for indicators or strategies.
Ticker Symbol: The U.S. ticker you'd like to view extended session and Blue Ocean ATS session data for.
Price Source: Price source that can be used for indicators or strategies.
Highlight Sessions: Highlight the different trading sessions.
Last Price Line: Show a horizontal line at the last traded price.
Ticker Symbol Check: Plots a label that will display only if the selected Ticker Symbol is not detected as a U.S. exchange traded ticker.
Earnings Label: Creates a label at the time of past earnings of the chosen Ticker Symbol. The time that the earnings are plotted is approximate. Because of this, the label is meant as an explanation for price action.
What this script does and how it works
It creates OHLC candlesticks by merging Blue Ocean's ATS market data and U.S. exchange data. From the OHLC data of both, a single output can be used for indicators or strategies.

Overnight trading remains far less active than extended hours trading. The hour with the highest overnight volume is 9:00PM, which averages 2.94 million shares per day and coincides with several Asian market opens. This volume is a fraction of the last hour of extended hours trading, which averages 43.22 million shares. The first hour of pre-core reported volume averages 113.30 million shares per day.
Overnight executions, in addition to the peak in the 9:00PM hour, also exhibits a smaller peak at 3:00AM, of 2.35 million shares. This coincides with several Asian bourses’ end of their regular trading day.

RTH Standard Deviation+RTH Standard Deviation+ Indicator
Overview
The RTH Standard Deviation+ (RTH SD+) indicator is a versatile tool designed for traders to visualize key price levels based on the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session.
It calculates and displays the high, low, equilibrium (midpoint), and standard deviation-based levels derived from the RTH session's price range.
This indicator is ideal for day traders and swing traders looking to identify potential support, resistance, and breakout zones.
Features
Customizable Session Window: Define the RTH session based on your preferred time window and timezone.
Key Price Levels: Displays high, low, equilibrium, 25%/75% quartile levels, and standard deviation levels (±0.5, ±1.0, ±1.33, ±1.66, ±2.0, and optional extended levels up to ±4.0).
Visual Elements: Includes horizontal lines, labels, boxes, and vertical lines to highlight key levels and session boundaries.
Flexible Styling: Customize line styles, colors, thicknesses, and visibility for all elements.
Extended Levels: Optional display of additional standard deviation levels (±2.25, ±2.33, ±2.5, ±2.66, ±2.75, ±3.0, ±3.25, ±3.33, ±3.5, ±3.66, ±3.75, ±4.0).
Deviation Boxes: Visualize specific standard deviation ranges (±0.1, ±1.33/1.66, ±2.33/2.66, ±3.33/3.66) with customizable colors.
Inputs
Session Window: Set the RTH session time (default: 06:00–09:00).
Timezone: Select the appropriate timezone (default: UTC-4).
Label Offset: Adjust the horizontal offset for price level labels (default: 5 bars).
Line Offset: Set the length of horizontal lines extending from the session end (default: 20 bars).
Show SD Levels: Toggle visibility of standard deviation lines (±0.5, ±1.0, ±1.33, ±1.66, ±2.0).
Show SD Labels: Enable or disable labels for standard deviation levels.
Show SD Boxes: Display shaded boxes for specific standard deviation ranges (e.g., ±1.33/1.66).
Show ±0.1 Dev Boxes: Highlight smaller deviation ranges (±0.1) with boxes.
Vertical Line: Toggle a vertical line at the session end, with customizable color, style, and thickness.
High/Low, Equilibrium, 25%/75%, ±0.1 Dev, ±1.33/1.66: Toggle visibility and customize colors, styles, and thicknesses for these levels.
Extended Levels: Enable additional standard deviation levels (e.g., ±2.25, ±2.5, etc.) for advanced analysis.
How It Works
Session Tracking: The indicator identifies the user-defined RTH session based on the specified time window and timezone.
It tracks the high, low, and equilibrium (midpoint) of the session's price action.
Price Range Calculation: At the session's end, the indicator calculates the price range (high - low) and uses it to compute standard deviation levels relative to the high, low, or equilibrium.
Level Visualization:
High/Low Lines: Display the session's high and low prices as horizontal lines, extended beyond the session end.
Equilibrium Line: Shows the midpoint of the session range.
Quartile Lines: Plots 25% and 75% levels within the session range.
Standard Deviation Lines: Displays levels at ±0.5, ±1.0, ±1.33, ±1.66, and ±2.0 standard deviations, with optional extended levels up to ±4.0.
Deviation Boxes: Shaded boxes highlight specific ranges (e.g., ±1.33/1.66) for quick reference.
±0.1 Deviation Lines/Boxes: Optional smaller deviation levels for precise analysis.
Dynamic Updates: During the session, high and low lines update in real-time. At session end, all levels are finalized and extended forward for post-session analysis.
Clearing Mechanism: When a new session begins, previous drawings are cleared to avoid clutter.
Usage
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicator menu.
Configure Settings:
Adjust the session window and timezone to match your market (e.g., 09:30–16:00 UTC-4 for US equities RTH).
Customize visibility, colors, styles, and thicknesses to suit your chart preferences.
Enable extended levels for deeper analysis or disable them for simplicity.
Interpret Levels:
High/Low: Act as potential support/resistance or breakout levels.
Equilibrium: Represents the session's midpoint, often a pivot point.
25%/75% Quartiles: Indicate intermediate levels within the session range.
Standard Deviation Levels: Highlight statistically significant price zones for potential reversals or breakouts.
Boxes: Emphasize key zones for quick visual reference.
Trading Application: Use levels to identify entry/exit points, set stop-losses, or gauge market volatility.
For example, ±1.0 standard deviation levels often act as strong support/resistance, while ±2.0 levels may indicate overextension.
Notes
Ensure the session window aligns with the market’s trading hours for accurate calculations.
The indicator is designed for intraday and post-session analysis but can be adapted for other timeframes.
Use in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for comprehensive decision-making.
Extended levels (±2.25 and beyond) are disabled by default to reduce chart clutter but can be enabled for specific strategies.

AP Session Liquidity with EQH/EQL and Previous DayThis indicator plots key intraday session highs and lows, along with essential market structure levels, to help traders identify areas of interest, potential liquidity zones, and high-probability trade setups. It includes the Asia Session High and Low (typically 00:00–08:00 UTC), London Session High and Low (08:00–12:00 UTC), New York AM Session High and Low (12:00–15:00 UTC), and New York Lunch High and Low (15:00–17:00 UTC). Additionally, it displays the Previous Day’s High and Low for context on recent price action, as well as automatically detected Equal Highs and Lows based on configurable proximity settings to highlight potential liquidity pools or engineered price levels. These session levels are widely used by institutional traders and are critical for analyzing market behavior during time-based volatility windows. Traders can use this indicator to anticipate breakouts, fakeouts, and reversals around session boundaries—such as liquidity grabs at Asia highs/lows before the London or New York sessions—or to identify key consolidation and expansion zones. Equal Highs and Lows serve as magnets for price, offering insight into potential stop hunts or inducement zones. This tool is ideal for day traders, scalpers, and smart money concept practitioners, and includes full customization for session timings, color schemes, line styles, and alert conditions. Whether you're trading price action, ICT concepts, or supply and demand, this indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday analysis.
